As much interest is felt throughout the country in
regard to the prospects of the cotton and other crops
w ; wiU bo grateful to our planting friends and others
u the interior for infopnMiou on that subject. Those
who havo opportunities for obUioipg valuable infor
mation in regard to the growing crops, the working
of the free-labor system, and kindrodmatters, of gen
eral interest, will confer a favor by communicating
the same to us. ^
XVhat is Wanted of the Southern Peo
ple.
How frequently wtt bear the question
asked, what is to become of tbe great
interests of Ibc South under the vindictive
government of tbe Radicals ? Will they de
prive tbe Southern States of all their powers?
Will they appoint Provisional Governors
over us ? These • questions cannot be
answered, aud it does very little good to ask
them, to think about them, to discuss them,
fu to speculate as. to what (Jougress will do.
If tile South shows any sigh of interest in
public affairs, it is immediately rebuked' for
forwardness, aud. accused of an ambition to,
rule the couutry once more.' Aud lhc§, why
should the Southern people concern them
selves for readmijsiou into the Union ? Will
the mere fact of their having -a representa
tion in Coagres9 conduce any to their present
temporal welfare ? Recuperation is’ now
what they require above everything else.—
Instead of hanging about the"hulls of Con'
gress for admittance, and In coming discon
tented because the doois are unjustly and
even contemptuously closed against them,
they Bliould lather leconcgnliate* all their
energies and labor upou the task oi restoring
its lormei prosperity to their, ruiued sectiou.
Long years, at the shortest, will be-required
to obliterate the marks of desolation left all
over the South by the iron heel of war.
From the Potomac to the Gulf, and the
Mississippi to the coast, the Confederacy has
presented a wild scene of ruin and (isola
tion. Now, if our people are sagacious and
foreseeing, they will give themselves wholly
to the Work of recuperation, leaving the
quesliouot recou struct ion, whicli they can
not control in the slightest degree, to take
care oi itself lor the present. Food and rai
ment are what are' now required by the
South. It is, therefore, most earnestly to he
desired that every one should study patient
aud persevering attention to his own domes
tic affairs, which he can control, leaving those
in power to manuge the affairs of govern
ment aud to solve the question of reconstruc
tion at their leisure. That they are disquali
fied by prejudice aud ignorance for the task,
we all admit. They have exhibited both in
the character of the proofs of loyalty de-
mauded ol the Southern people as conditions
precedent to the admission of their represen
tatives in Congress-. They require the South
ern people not only to acquiesce in the legili
male results of a war in which they were
overcome by superior numbers and resources,
but, to “make treason odious,” they expect
us to exult over the death of Jacbsou, over
the fall oi Richmond, over the surrender of
Lee. They insist that we rejoice at lhe cap
lure oi Davis, and that we concede that he
has merited a traitor's doom! This is Ut/ainst
nature. It is demanding <m impossibility.' It
is requiring the Southern people to sign aud
seal the bond of their own infamy; to ac
knowledge before, the world, not only that
they iu'e slaves, hut that they are knaves and
poltroons. The Southern people cannot put
ou sackcloth’’ and repent in dust and ashes
over political sins, lor they are consciously
innocent. “They did what they did’’ not iu
enmity to the Union, per se, not in hatred of
the Northern people, but in honor of the
principles handed down from Jefferson,
Madison and Monroe, and iu defence of the
lights they had inherited from their fathers—
principles' which, in their heart of hearts,
they believed essential to the maintenance of
public liberty and constitutional government
We cannot now—and, God helping us, what
ever the consequences, we will not—dishonor
the memories aud trample upon the blood of
those who fell before Richmond, who Con
quered at Chancellorsville, who waded so
calmly through the fire at Gettysburg, and
who wrestled so desperately for vic
tory with overwhelming numbers from
the Wilderness to Cold Harbor, The South
ern people cannot do this. An over
powering sense of self degradation forbids
it. Far easier had it been for the unhappy
exiles, who “sat down by the waters of
Babylon aud wept,” lo sing the songs of
their country in a strange land, than it will
lie for a high-minded aud honorable people to
recoguize as criminals, or, as culpable, the
men who fought so gallantly for what they
believed to be right, and attested the sincerity
'df their devotion by the sacrament of hood.
Now is ii not apparent that the meji in
power respect neither pbilospby nor reason,
the laws of our nature, nor the dictates of
humanity. The so-called crimes, the so-
called treason, the “punishment" of the
Southern people, form the sum of their
whole policy. Upou these as a basis,
they may iu time erect what they
will call a restored Union, hut what, iu
truth, will be a hideous monster of a State,
self-loathing and sell-torturing, made up of
parts driven by a frantic impulse to inflict
material pain, while the whole is doomed to
fyel the misery of each. This, we grieve to
say, is the sort of Union with which Stevens
and Sumner would curse the country. It re
mains to he seen whether the Northern peo
ple will allow these able but unfeeling men
and their associates to entail the untold
evils of such a Union upon them and their
posterity. The South, in the midst of her
desolation and voiceless woe, can now do
nothing to avert such a catastrophe; but his
tory, experience, philosophy, the past, all
declare in prophetic tones that the dura
tion of sach a government mast be short,
and that it will expire amidst the universal
cxecratioos...of the people who have been
scourged b^ Its intolerable oppressions.
A new Democratic paper is about to be es
tablished in Chicago, to take the place in
the confidence of the party made vacant by
the aposiacy.of the Times. It is said the
proprietors of it are sanguine of success iu
the enterprise, and that tbe Times has pro
posed to recant its negro suffrage heresy if
the scheme is abandoned. This last say-SO
is probably not true.
Wawunoxon,” a Radical and a correspon
dent of the Springfield Republican/al-
udes to the RepubUcau members of
the Fortieth Congress as a hundred and forty
men lied to the tail of a donkey. Not very
flattering to the members or comtortable for
the donkey.
Tbe telegraph announced yesterday that
in the course of the debate in the U. S. Sen
ate upon, some question not stated, Mr.
Sumner declared that the Southern States
should never be re admitted without negro
suffrage, even if they adopted the Constitu
tional Amendment. To this both of the
Ohio Senators, Wade and Sherman, replied
with equal positiveuess that the adoption of
that amendment was the only condition tr.
be imposed on the-“recusant'’ Slates, and
upon their ratification Southern Senators
and Representatives should be .immediately
admitted. Both of these Senators said that
the North had offered this bargain
to the South, and that the former
was in honor bound lo adhere lo
it. It would appear from this that
the Radical leaders in Congress are not
as harmonious .upon -the question of recon
struction as they would have us to believe.
It is stated that there has been developed, in
the Senate particularly, within the past week,
a determination to resist many of tho revo
lutionary schemes concocted by Stunner and
Stevens. In that branch there is reported to
be a decided change adverse to tho adoption
of extjeine measures, and it is believed that
if the iniquitous proposition for blotting out
altogether the existence of the States south
of the Potomac can he delayed until some
idea of the popular mind can be given ou
the subject, it will fail altogether. When
Congress first met, the Radicals were enthu
siastic in their assertion that this revolution
ary scheme would be pressed to an early
passage. That they have been disappointed
is shown by the unexpected opposition ot the
Ohio senators, who are doubtless iu aepord
witfi the majority of the Senate.
Tliud. Stevens unit Mr. Davis.
Among the strange things daily occurring
at Washington not the least remarkable is
the speech made by Mr. Stevens, ou Tues
day last, in which he announced that Air.
Davis is not amenable to the laws of the
country for treason. As reported by the
Washington correspondent ol the Baltimore
Sun:
He said Le would rather see every traitor iu the
Couutry escape lhan aoo one of them hung by a law-
passed after his oll'ense and for tho purpose of hang
ing him. Mr. Stevens denounced such legislation uh
utterly uuj ustifiable and discreditable, lie did uot
believe Mr. Davis could be tried lor treason, nor that
lie had been guilty of treason. His offense was that ot
a belligerent, uot of a traitor. He (Mr. Stevens) lied
not opposed tbe efforts made to bring Mr. Davis lo
trial, but he bad not tavored them. But he was ut
terly opposed to any legislation of the kind proposed,
which would make tho mode, Htue or place of trial
different from what they were wpeu the offense was
committed.
It is stated that his remarks were “listened
to with profound attention." The position
taken by Air. Steveus in this matter is the
logical consequence of the theory he main
tained during the war, that the seceded States
were’out of the Uniou, and the inhabitants
thereof were not traitors, but belligerents.
He would have Air. Davis to escape punish
ment, not on the ground of justice or mercy,
hut to establish bis own theory, aud to per
petuate Radical ascendency. Admit, as he
claims, that the Southern States have not
been in the Union since tbe commencement
ot the war, and that Mr. Davis cannot be
tried tor treason, it follows, according to his
logic, that these States are now subjugated
territories and their inhabitants captives, to
be dealt with as the captors nmy deem expe
dient. V
Good if True.—It is stated that a strong
effort will he made this session lo have taxes
very materially reduced. The Secretary
of the Treasury is confident that the condi
lion of the finances will warrant a move iu
this direction. It is not improbable that
among the important tariff measures which
are sought to be reduced will be a reduction
of the duty on cotton. The nuisance oi
stamps on checks, receipts, certificates, clc.,
which is loudly complained of by merchant
throughout the country, has also rnauy ad
vocates in favoring an entire abolition.
Payment for Slaves.—The “loyal” own
ers of slaves in Tennessee are being paid
three hundred dollars for all of (heir late
chattels mustered into the military service.
The Secretary of War has recently appointed
an examining board whose duty it i9 to in
vestigate all claims ot the kind referred to,
and report to Washington the result of their
iaquities. All of which we learn through
the Nashville papers.
Significant.—The Cincinnati Commercial,
a Radical paper, commenting upon Thai!
Steveus’ course in Congress, says: “It be
comes Air. Stevens to proceed with modesty.
He will find before the session has far ad
vances, that he is not the leader of the House,
and that its practical men will refuse to fol
low him in an antic dauce of rampaut radi
calism.”
Surratt.—It is beginning to be believed
now at Washington, that tbe arrest aud trial
of John H. Surratt will result, among other
things, in demonstrating that his mother was
hung unjustly. Holt aud others are said to
he quite nervous on the subject.
Tub Legislators.—This body adjourned
sine die on the 14th inst. We print on the
first page the closing addresses of tbe presid
ing officers of the Senate and House, which
will he read with interest.
In Louisville, Ky., there are forty-two
and a ball miles of street railroads. The
number of passengers carried per month is
925,000, and the receipts per annum are
$540,000.
The Washington correspondent of the Bal-
rnore Gazette says:
•The Government has not authorized Geu-
erai Sickles to forbid corporeal punishment
in North Carolina,”
Through Liao to Havana and Atv
Orleans.
We printed on Tuesday the proceedings of a meet
ing of parlieB representing a number ol' Southern
Railroads, held in Charleston, the object ot whiob was
to take into consideration the propriety ot establishing
a line of steamers from 8t. Marks, Florida, to New Or
leans, and between SL Marks and Havana. The Mer
cury gives to the proposed movement its hearty en
dorsement, adding that the great importance and mag-
nitudeof the undertaking now in contemplation can
not well be realised by a mere perusal of the proceed
ings of tbe meeting. It is intended to place a line
ol steamers between SL Marks, Florida, and
Havana, and anothar line between the same place
und New Orleans. At 8L Marks these steamers will
meet the railroad, and from that point they will send
their cargoes by tbe direct seebosrd line North, or on
the other hand take aboard freight or passengers pass
ing South. Tbe only breek in the line, at present, is
that between Charleston and Savannah. It is expect
ed, however, that this line will be completed in abont
six months ; bat in Hie meanwhile a line of daily
sftamers will be ran between the two ports. The ad
vantages of the proposed line can be very readily
In the first place, the trip from the Havana to St.
Marka can be made iu forty hours, and (he entire
distance to Hew York in one hundred and five hours,a
saving of abont thirty-five hoars upon the present
trip by see from point to point. From New York to
New Orleans the ran will be made with ease in eigh
ty-nine hoars. Beyond the savingnf time, which, in
itself, is money, and Hie saving in reduction of rates,
there will he additions) safety for passengers
aud freight, and a saving, in the cost of in
surance, The run from Havana to SL Marks can be
made without running near the Florida reels, and
this risk is one of the principal elements in the
charges made tor sea insurance. Passengers will en
joy greater safety, and the absence of heavy grades
on the seaboard route will enoble the trains to make
good time at s smalt running expense.
The seaboard cities will be placed in immediate aud
direct cammnnication with the two .great cotton,
markets, Havana and New Orleans, and will derive
many other direct and Indirect benefits.
Charleston and Savannah will derive a natural
profit from the passage of business through them.
They will become commercial centres, sad pas-
sen gars and freights will stop in them end com
pel the expenditure of mooey. Charleston has
unrivalled advantages as a seaport, aud it need not be
feared that the new line will take business from it and
carry it abroad. It will become a port of shipment
aud transhipment, and In aiding the new line Will not
only help to build np her own prosperity, but aid also
in advancing the commercial welfare of the Golf and
Atlantic Cotton State*— TaOaliasaee Floridian.

SIGHT DISPATCHES.
From Wwhlmftei.
Washington, December 15.—Pardons here bees or
dered by the President to lie imaed to IhefilloiUag
l>er8ons residing in the South, for theirpqrtldpatioa

accordance with tbe twenty thoatand dollar daqatof

John Smith, of Texas; H. W. Ransom, ot North Cars'
tins; W. W. Hunter, ot‘Louisiana; Elijah Roberta, ot
Georgia; S. W. Weems, of Mississippi.
An affidavit from the Union Pacific Railroad Com
pany has been received by ths Secretary ot the Into
rior, to tbe effect that tbe ninth section ot thirty-five
miles of their road has been completed
at the 270th and terminating at the- 605th mite poet
west from Omaha.
Washington, Dec 16.—The receipt* of internal rev-
euue from 1st July last to date .mount to nearly one
huudretl and fifty-nine millions doHare
gate of the present fiscal year is expected to be three
huudredand twenty million*. The notices recently
published concerning the discontinuance of Southern
post office* are liable to be misunderstood. Nowhote-
salc discontinuance of office* now in operation is con
teiuplated, but the action of the Post Office Depart-,
luent refers only to the many offlee* In the Boath
which were suspended at the commencement of the
war and which have not since been formally reopened
although iu fact discontinued. The accounts of such
Offices caunot be closed and balances due to govern
ment collected by the Anditor for this depart
ment, under existing laws aud aigulatlons, without
:i formal order ot discontinuance by the Postmaste,
Genets!, whereupon the bond* are surrendered to the
auditor and be eau proceed against the late poat-
m asters. The auditor of the Poatoffice Department
reports to the Postmaster General that the postal
revenue in the late insurgent State* have exceeded by
nearly two hundred and ninety-two thouaand dollar*
tbe actual expenditures, and it appear* that, including
all liabilities to June 30th last, the revenue in that
sectiou would only be deficient twenty-five thouaand
dollars.
Some of the most prominent Radicals say they will
not vote for the bills admitting Colorado and Nebraska
as states, because that their Conatitutions confln®
suffrage to the whiles.
It is not expected that any financial measures will
be passed by Congress until after the Christmas
liolitls} a.

A NEW AND GRAND EPOCH IN MED
ICINE.
BA. Uagoif.l is the founder ol a new Medical Sys
tem I The qneatitariaiis, whose vast iutcrnal doses
enfeeble thfl stomach and paralyze the bowels, mnst
give precedence to the man who restores health and
appetite, with from one to two ol his extraordinary
Pills, and cures the most virulent sores with a box
or so of bis wonderful anil all-hcaliug Salve. These
two great specifics of the Doctor are last supersed
ing all the stereotyped nostrums of the -day.' Extra
ordinary cures' by Maggiel’s Prlfo anil Salve have
opened the eyes of the public to the inefficiency of
the (so-called) remedies of others, ami Upon which
people have so long blindly depended. Maggicl’s
Pills are not ol the class that arc swallowut by the
dozen, and or which cvciy box full taVey creates an
abfOlnte necessity for another. One or two of Mag-
giel’s Pills suffices to place the bowels in perfect or
der, tone tbe stomach, create an appetite, anil ren-
dor the spirits light and buoyant.
There is no griping, and no reaction in the form
of constipation.
If tho liver is affected, ils functions are restored;
and ot the nervous system is feeble, i.t is invigorated.
This lest quality makes the medicines very desirable
for the wants of delicate females.
Ulcerous and c-mptite diseases are literally extin
guished by the disinfectant power of Muggiel’s Salve.
In fact, it Is here announced that
MAGGIEL’S BILIOUS DYSPEPTIC AND DIAR
RHfEA PILI-H
care where all all others fail.
While for Burns, Scalds, Cuts and ail abrasions of
the skin
MAGGIEL’S SALVE
is infallible.
