As much interest is felt throughout the country in regard to the prospects of the cotton and other crops we will he grateful to our .planting friends and others u tlie interior for information on that subject Those who have opportunities lor obtaining valuable infor mation in regard to the growing crops, the working of the free-labor system, and kindred matters, of gen eral interest, will confer a favor by communicating the same to us. Tli«* Legislature and Common Softool* Some days since we called tbe attention of A Wuhtoitoo dispatch says ern Loyalists," headed by the ootorions JackHamilton, of Tejite, conclave in that city last week, and had, in consultation with - them Messrs. Stevens, Sumner, and others of that ilk. It is known that tbe latter advise tbe “loyalists" to get up a petition of 'their class ' Chief clad test in fnnconstit of the Supreme JJdhit Tbe Radical* In £h» Honee* Intend to insiat on nniverfs^nateal of impartial suffrage in the HstrMl of Columbia. A city of Mexico correspondent says that, 6 * 1 , ‘ J , 7 • r . „ " ' Mr. lane declared that Aba Southern States never Congress, asking that the Southern State* ainee the aznval ot Miramon and Marques, J^gaid p r**rauit»<x until Uiey a^jaf- be treated as Territories, by the appoint ment of Provisional Governors and other officers required by ench an organization. If, under the lash of Stevens and Sumner, a majority of Congress should adopt this revolutionary proposition, it would certainly be, in spme respeota, most unfortunate for the Sooth, bat in others it Would be fortu nate. It may not have occurred to those sagacious statesmen who threaten to reduce these States to n territorial condition, that they would thoreby relieve them fiom all their indebtedness and substitute tbe United States in their shoes as tbe responsibly debtor. This is tbe opinion of eminent law yers. If the United States, by the destine- tion of tbe State governments,* interferes be tween them and their creditors, depriving them of tbe power to provide for tbe dis owr readers to the fact 1 oilr c jj ar g e 0 f their liabilities, those liabilities are bad then under consideration a bill providing for tbe establishment of a system of common schools, and expressed our gratification at tbe seemingly good prospect of its passage into a law. We have not been able to Team wbcl her there has been' any'final action by that body, one way or tbe other, upon the meas ure. Il is to be hoped tbaUsoiuetliing will lie accomplished before adjournment, looking to tbe establisemeut of schools throughout the State, upon as efficient a basis as is consistent with the necessity of avoiding loo heavy a burden of taxation upon our suffering people. We think it poor ecouomy to apare a few thousand dollars iu’the present, when to do so would inflict such incalculable damage upon the great boil}' of youth rapidly mat wr ing into manhood without the blessiug ol education. We should reflect a moment upon the value to the community of one edu cated nmn—the wealth he directly and indi rectly produces, the enterprises he originates or stimulates, the public and private eomfoit, aud tbe sound influence for the genetal welfare which he may. ex^rt, and then compute bis worth with .that‘of the idler and hanger-ou of society, exhausting our financial resources to keep Micro in obedience to the laws of the land, and eating out the yibstancc of the workers in the social hive. The ignorant boy is too often the idle young man, and he, for the want of mental aliment to stimulate and elu- vate his aspirations, becomes the ready prey of idleness and vice. Already has immense evil been done, and persistent and herculean labors are required to bring the efficiency of general educational instruction np to. the standard it ought to occupy.— With minds distracted by the fierce conflict, and in many cases, bodies enfeebled by pri vation, it is uo wonder many noble hoys are fir behind the position they might have oc cupied in intellectual culture. Other States nfe taking steps promptly in reference to this vital question—let. us not lie supiue until a tide of pauperism and ignorance sinks us beyond redemption. Public schools do not injure private institutions—nu the contrary they luruish the life blood for the academy and the college. The more widely diffused are the minor blessings of education, so to speak, the more hope of ju«t appreciation of a cultivation involving a larger field and more extensive research. Our Legislature has accomplished much lor tbe advance ment of tbe best interests ot the State, which encourages us to believe they will give, if they have-not already done so, the great subject of education the attention, practical ly, it deserves. Thk Congressional Bankrupt Bill.—It will he'remembered that the Bankrupt Bill which passed the House at, the last session was laid over in the Senate. The subject is again under consideration, aud is to be dis cussed on an appointed day. A dispatch says “its friends will make an effort to get it thicugh the Senate, and have some hope of success. It would override all State legisla tion ou the subject of debtor and creditor. It would supercede stay laws and insolvent laws, aud abolish imprisonment for debt. It would be a Gqd-senfl to the debtor class aud it is not prejudicial to the interests of the creditor.” The measure will be warmly supported by influential members from the West. Its pas sage is of the highest importance to the Southern people as the only remedy to re lieve those who are helplessly indebted. Mr. Seward and Tuad. Stevens. —It is stated that Secretary Seward called on Ste vens at his rooms one day last week, aud had a long private interview with him. The event excited considerable commet tin Wash ington, and much speculation was rife to know what it all meant. The above genlle- ,ineu have not been on friendly relations with each other lor several years. It is rumored that Seward is repentant, like Raymond, aud wants to come back into the bosom of the Radical parly. Others think that Seward was sent by President Johnson to make over tures of compromise. A Contradiction.—A Washington corres pondent of the Baltimore Son, under date of tbe 8th Inst-, says there is no truth in the statement which appeared in our paper of yesterday that the Supreme Court of the United States will anuounce an opinion to morrow in the matter of test oaths lor at torneys, nor will any opinion on the subject be given for the present. There has been do formal consultation of the judges on the subject at the present term of the court, and the status of the matter is exactly ns i 1 was left at the close of the last term. The Inevitable Santa Anna.—This Mexi can r celebrity and mountebank has sent a conttnjjnication to the Government at Wash ington npon Mexican affairs, the exact pur port of which has *ot yet transpired. It is known; nevertheless, that he protests against the proposed action of the United States Government relative to Juarez, and insists that he (Santa Anna;, Ottega, or any other Mexican, should not be molested if they shall attempt to take part in tbe re-establish ment of Mexican authority within the repub lic of Mexico: A Fenian Denunciation.—General F. F. Niellen, late President of the Fenian Coun cil in Ireland, has published a voluminous address to the Fehian Brotherhood, denounc ing James Stephens' as apolitical humbug, if not a cheat and a rascal beside*. He re cites grave charges' against Stephens, whom he accuses of insincerity and gross dishon esty in appropriating tor his own use thousandr of pounds sterling, collected for. the purchase of military stores. He alleges that Stephens’personal expenses amount to one hundred dollars daily. ! Ga„ committed suicide in Baltimore on Fri day last, by cutting his throat with a razor at the public bnnseof Mr. Martin JJ. Haulev’ corner of Water aud Grant streets. The de ceased was thirty-five years (page and a gen tleman of education. ~ ” either extinguished or devolve npon the power destroying them. If, as the Rich mond Whig says, by placing us in a territo rial condition will relieve ns from indebl ed uces, and from onerous Federal taxation, and impose upon the government the burthen of paying our Governors, Judges, Legislatures and other territorial officers, the Radical pro gramme might not be so bad tor the South in her present impoverished condition. The editor of the Whig views tbe matter in this light and expresses himself in the following philosophic vein: Iu the first place : the Governor will be appointed by the prcHideut, and tbe appointee will not be a man after Sumner’s heart. In the next place : we shall have a delegate in Congress, to be chosen by the peo ple of this ••Territory,’’ whowill have the right to speak ou all the subjects discussed in Congress. In i his respect, therefore, it ia better to be a Territory than an excluded State. Then, again, we shall be rid of taxes, for ••inhabitants” of Territories are not pri vileged to pay taxes for the support ot government as “ eitizens” of States—even though they bo debarred all other privileges—are. Aud further, the expense Of governing a Territory is paid by tlie General Gov ernment. This wonld be a convenient arrangement iu the low state of onr exchequer, and the saving thus occasioned would enable us to push forward our internal improvement schemes. Still another advantage might result. The tendency of emi gration has tor years been in tbe direction of the Territories, and the influx of population to the new Territory of Virginia, of Lincoln, Sum ner, or whatever it might be—would probably much exceed that which the old State would other wise attract. To sum up all, then, tbe appointment ot executive and judicial officers by President John son; representation in Congress; relief from taxation; the privilege of electing the Legislature, as ut present; to be ‘•inhabitants” instead of citizens; to see immi gration quickened and prosperity revived; to be re lieved of the cost, as well ms trouble, of governing ourselves; to feel that we belong to tho United Stales as “property” which “a paternal Government” would care for, and that, being nothing more than “inhabi tants,” we shall not be expected to demean ourselves otherwise, and shall be relieved of all the responsi bilities wliioh citizenship implies—is not so dreadful to contemplate. A worse thing might happen to us; for, if Virginia were recognised as a 8tate, “Judge” Underwood would be a Senator 1 “Think of that, Master Brook; think of that 1” Territorialize us, aud we get rid of this creature. “Think of that, Master lirouk!” We are therefore willing to seethe trial of this experiment; so drive on, Mr. Sumner. We can’t be worsted. Beginning to Appreciate their New Po sition.—There was a gathering of insane white women and men and negroes at tbe Cooper Institute, in New York, last week, to discuss the new issue, “woman’s right to suffrage." Among tbe apeakers was a negro man, named Redmond, who went in heavily for negro suffrage and woman suffrage. In tbe course of his remarks he said, “when women decide to have their rights there were not bullets enough in the country to prevent it." “Fashion," said be, “has a great deal to do with prejudee, and the time may Dot be far distant when it will decree that tbe black est face is the handsomest." This sentiment was received with laughter and applause. Alluding no doubt to the recent marriages between negro meu aud white women, iu Boston, tbe speaker added, “Preparations bad already been made to make tbe com plexion like that of tbe beautiful quadroon of Texas." This boast from a negro iu the presence of Northern white meu aud women wus received with complaisancy. Heaven only knows what changes are to be wrought under the reign of the radical party of “moral ideas.” The Collatse of Crinoline. —An exchange says the heroic and adventurous knights of tbe Round Table who, from their intimacy with wailing maids out of employment, are usually in possession of the very latest intel ligence as to tbe mysteries of tbe female toilet, announce a collapse iu crinoline. They aver that “in obedience to those de crees—vague, yet imperative—which come to us from some unknown scarce in Paris, Mr. Bradley and all other inventors aud dealers in patent skirts and tilting hoops must soon come to grief. Hooped skirts are disappearing in tbe streets and slowly in the drawing rooms. ” Meeting op Southwestern Railroad Presidents.—The New York Herald, of ttic 8th iust., says: The Presidents of the South western railroads running from ibis city to New Orleans, have been in session hero for the past two or three days for the purpose of arranging a schedule by which the time will be shortened between the two cities. The new schedule commences on Sunday, the 9tb inst., and the time between Washington and New Orleans will be eighty-two hours, mak ing only ninety-two hours from New York to New Orleans. Ou the 1st of January, 18C7, a double daily train will be run. The great Southern mail will be placed on the route. Destitution in South Carolina—The Columbia correspondent of a New York paper says the destitution in that portion of the State ia beyond belief, except to parties who have witnessed it. Several deaths have occurred recently of which the real cause was insufficiency of food. This species of want prevails more in the adjacent country— universally here known and spoken of as the Sand Hills—than in the city proper. Both whites aud negroes suffer this, but far more of the latter, because they are constitutional ly more improvident. Disastrrs at Sea.—The marine losses re ported for November includo fifty-nine ves- sels,four steamers, three 8bips,fourteen harks, eleven brigs, twenty-six seboonen, and one fisbiogsmack. Six are missing, supposed to be lost; aud the others were abandoned, foundered, sunk, etc., or reported to be lost in other ways. The value of the properly is estimated at t2,000,000. We see that a resolution has passed tho Senate, calling upon the Secretary of the Treasury for information in regard to the appointment of commissioners to settle the claims of loyal slave-owners for slaves en listed during the war. We presume that the intention is to arrest the proceedings of the commissioners and repudiate all their claims. Negro Labor.—An educated Virginia far mer aays that after having had a large expe rience with white laborers, both foreign and native, he baa come to the conclusion that . the world cannot produce a more skillful and Suidh*t.—-Dr. T. jTshiriand, of Augusta. feffleient farm laborer than a well-trained a., committed Rlliniiln See D.iif . TT? r—- — i. mllinn wnvlr Virginia negro who ia willing to tofk. - It wdl determined by some of tbe Episco pal churches in New York* to devote their thanksgiving contributions to the relief of suffering parishes in-the South. negotiations with tbe Emperor, for his return to the capital have been renewed. It is now probable that Maximilian will do so. The Austrian and Belgian troops in Mexico’city received orders to march to Vera Cruz on tbe 28d ulfc,. but on that morning the order was countermanded; . Southern Senators and Representatives now in Washington held a meeting for consulta tion at Willard’s. Among those present were Governor Sharkey, of Mississippi, Gov ernor Parsons and Mr. Foster, of Alabama, and Senators Barnet and Roberts and Rep resentative Ephereon, of Tease. Consider ing the few Southern members present in Washington, no definite course of action was ggifewl'qidr Should events eral meeting of all th a South sen tives may be called early in January. Tbe desire for the repeal of the 13th sec tion of the amnesty act seems to be abating, in view of tbe fact that nineteen-twentieths of the property affected by it has already been restored to Southern owners, which restoration cannot now be disturbed. Tbe repeal would affect only a few prominent rebels now absent from the country, and who own but little to l>e confiscated. It will be contended by several Senators that the ten dency will be to disturb the confidence, em barrass tbe industry, and hazard loss to Northern creditors of Southern merchants. General Sweeny.—Major and Brevet Lieutenant Colonel Thomas W. Sweeny, who was recently restored to bis position in the regular army, has left to join his regiment, the 16th United States infantry-, at Nashville, Tenuessee- This officer, it will he remem bered, was the Fenian Secretary ot War and tbe General-in-Chief of the Fenian forces which invaded Canada a few months ago. An Important Decision.—A telegram from Mobile states that Judge Busteed has ren dered a decision declaring that tbe payment of all debts in Confederate money is null and void. Miss Greoo, of Columbia, S. C-, a sister of General Maxcy Gregg, who was killed at the battle of Fredericksburg, in 18.62, has gone to Liberia as a missionary. Came for Me. Davu.—Tbs ladles of tfca Cathollo congregation ot Norfolk have in preparation a splen did cano, to be mode of wood from tbe famous ateam- er Merrimec, to be presented to Mr. JcffersotT DstIh. It is to be raffled for, and tbe lirst signet are on tbe list is Mrs. General Mehone, followed by every mem ber of ber family. Tbe cane Is to be besutUullir and tastefully mounted with gold, and appropriately in scribed. *. ‘Special Notices. ASSIGNEE’S NOTICE. Mr. Wilson said aa soon as negro suffrage was estab lished the Democratic party, with that kind of scout peculiar to It, would court tba nsgxo influence, and the Wlsee and Letch eta of tbe South would be after them, claiming relationship; and aa the same blood did Many rail In their reins, they would bring afflda- vita to prove It, if neceseary. The Senate,** a veto of** agaiaet 13, passed the bill conferring suffrage, in the District of Columbia, on colored persons, bat excluding persons who (in tbe language of tba bill) may have voluntarily given aid and comfort to the rebels in the late rebellion. A biU for a similar purpose, with unrestricted suffrage, pasiotf the Home last session, and there ia no doubt tbe meaaure will become a law, aa two-thirds or more In each branch are in tkvorof it Tbe debate then adjourned. Honan.—Mr. Stevens introduced a bill to re-estab lish the eivtl government in North Carolina, aud to enable it to resume its former relation as one of the oonatttuted States of tbe American Union. He stated that be did ao at tbe request of several gentlemen from North Carolina. Referred to the Committee on Ter ritories. Tbe bill introduced to reorganize the Department of Agriculture was referred to tbe Committeo on Ag riculture. Ou motion of Mr. Taylor, of Tennessee, tbe Secreta ry of War waa requested to f urnioh any information in the War Department relative to tbe New Orleans riots. The House, iu committee of tba whole, diacas»ed the deficiency bill, which was reported to tbe llou-c. A discussion on the President’s annual message was commenced. Mr. Ward, of New York, made a speech in which he generally denounced the Pres.dent; alter which the House adjourned. The bill whioh Senator Yates Introduced to-day rel ative to the publication of the Constitutional Amend ment, provide* that upon information reoeived by the Secretary of the Senate and the Clerk of the House of the salification of any amendment* to the Constitution bj tho requisite number of State* duly qualified to paaa upon the same, it shall be the duty of tho Presi dent of the Senate and tbe Clerk of the Hou*e to pub- li*h tho same in tbe newspapers now authorized to publish the lews, specifying under their signatures Hiai the amendment has been adopted, is now valid and binding as a part of tbe Constitution in the same manner as formerly certified to by tbe Secretary of State. Tho object of the bill is to deprive the Presi dent and tbe Secretary of State of any action in the premises. The delegation of North Carolinians now here, pre pared the bill which Thad. Stevens introduced to-day, to establish civil government by providing for a Con vention of delegates of loyal citizens of the district formerly composing the State of North Carolina. All male residents, without regard to race or color, are to voto unless disqualified by aiding the late Confedera cy, ale. The Constitution Is to bo submitted to Con gress for its approval. Col. Forney has written a letter, withdrawing from the candidacy for Seuator from Pennsylvania, and eu- logUtioolly suggesting Thad.
