A3 much interest is felt throughout the country in ‘ rdto the prospects of the cotton and other crop, wo will be urateiul to 0 ur planting friend, and other, n the interior for information on that subject. Those Who have opportunities for obtaining valuable tafar- nntion in regard to the growing crop., the working " ree-labor system, and kindred matters, of gen eral interest, will confer a favor by communicating the same to us. ^ t hnritV at Work. We are glad to see that the attention ol the benevolent at tbe North is being directed ‘ to the intense suffering of many tamilies in tbe Southern States, whioli has been caused by tbe failure of, the jate crops and the destruction of property during the late war. We see. by the Journal of Commerce, there will be an organized effort iD the city ol New York for tbe relief of the thousands ol families in tbe Northern portions of South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama, and in many parts of Mississippi, who, it is said, look to. tbe coming winter without hope, and who arc now actually perishing from starvation It is stated, also, that there are not a few dhp tricts of country in the States named where the present supply of food is insufficient to last thirty dayB, and where there is neither money nor produce on which to base the ex pectation of a fuither supply. Whole vil lages are living on the closest rations alrea dy, aud the future Is absolutely dark- The Journal, commenting upon'this melancholy state of things, says . “If there is any one who, in the face of such Jacts as these, is in clined to answer the appeal lor help with bitter word9 of reproach, it is unnecessary to meet this feeling with argument, since they have only to remember that this desolation and starvation involves little children as well as grown men. Tlic-strongest feeling must give way before the terrible suffering which young boys ami girls are now undergoing, and are likely to endure in .the comine winter. The memories of the war have no lorce against the cries of such objects ol benevolence, wholly irresponsible for their own condition.” It appears that the ladies of New Yolk, who are always toremost indevisiog benevo lent plans, are about to take tbe matter of assistance in baud- The same paper says they have consulted with gentlemen of high character and standing, Republicans and Democrats, aud all unite in approving their work, aud a meeting is to beheld for the pur pose of organizing operations. Similar steps arc beiug taken in the large cities of the West. The citizens ol Louisville, especially, have been animated by the most liberal and philanthropic spirit towards their afflicted brethren of the .South. Baltimore has dune tbe same. No charity has appealed to its people iu vain. Cheerfully and munificently have these two cities responded to every wai ot distress from the South. Money and pro visions have been lavishly bestowed upon the suffering. They have also given freely to re-erect the dismantled houses of worship, and to re-endow the destroyed institutions ol learning. Such acts of noble generosity will ever command the gratitude of the Southern people. For they will result iu coulerring happiness, rescuing life, averting misery, and establishing another bond of affection be tween communities so mournfully separated by the eveuts of the late struggle: The Coming Fight on the Tariff. The grounds of disagreement between thS New England aud Western StateB are be. coming more distinctly defined every day. Iu addition to the antagonism developed last week iu the angry controversy between Sen ators Sumner and Wade about the constitn- tional amendment, in which the latter said to the former that the West was growing restive underNewEngland dictation, the eastern and western Radicals are getting iuto a difficulty among themselves on the tariff question. A correspondent says the bill which passed the House lost session, and which many think the Senate, with a-few amendments, will adopt this winter, has many ardent opponents among the Radicals, and its passage will create very hard feeling. The bill which has been presented to the Senate Finance Com mittee, and which is approved of by tbo Sec retary of the Treasury, does not, it is gener ally thought, stand much chance of being adopted The tariff will occupy much time in its consideration, but the bill will probably not be presented from Senator Fessenden’s committee until after Congress has taken its Christmas recess; then the work of the ses sion on practical matters will commence in good earnest, and, if the signs do not fiiil, there will be much grumbling among the western Radicals as to the disposition New England wants to fnake of them. Another Surratt Stort.—A Canadian paper has an article on Surratt, which says he was on bis way to Washington when he heard of President Lincoln's assassination, and immediately returned to Canada. The original plan was to carry off Lincoln ami hold bim as a hostage for the Southern prisoners, but this was altered on account ol the impossibility of carrying it out and of Booth's offer to assassinate bim. Of this change of plan Surratt says be koew nothing. He always protested tbe innocence of bis mother, and affirmed that Jeff, Davis knew nothing of tbe conspiracy. A Washington dispatch states that It is understood in that city that the criminal, Surratt, will be offered his pardon on condi tion that he will testify, as a faithful witness, agaiust all other parties who knew or had connection, either directly or indirectly, with the plot. •. How Truthful !—With States, says that sterling paper, the Boston Post, leveled to Territories, and their government* parceled out among party retainers, tbe land aban doned of industry, tbe social stale a melan cboly wreck, and universal gloom clouding the prospect, what will the South be worth to tbe Union ? How is it to be expected to do its part in raising the needed revenues, in supplying commerce with its resources, in answering the demands of manufacturers, and in giving a new impulse to the aspira tions of labor and enterprise? Our people are guilty of a fatal mistake . if they forget that this is an Union; not a government of one section by another section; not a teudal establishment, with outlying dependencies;* least ol all, a practical tyranny. Prentice says : ‘-Work is carved out for Congress outside of that body and sent to the members to be done up just as coats and breeches are cut by master-tailors and turned over to sewing-women to be made.” Whst ffefffarsata 1 ’ Davis says Atwt tlto. Csptsn «# Joint H. Surratt. A letter from tbe Fortress Conroe corres pondent of the New York Herald says: Mr. Davis, as I have been told, expresses gratification at tha arroM .of Surratt. He is gratified because now he sees tbe way clearer than ever to the establishment of bis own innocence in connection With tbe death r of Mr. Lincoln. Even If the eaptured fugitive prefers tbo aecusations it : s claimed he will, he avers that it will be a very simple and easy matter to disprove them, and his anxiety in regard to tbe result hie this depth end com- pass and no more—the desire of an early op portunity to meet and reftite the charges. Whatever of criminality may attach to him os the head and front of tbe late rebellion,' whatever of treason there may have been to hi9 country in bis official acts as tbe chosen chief of the Confederacy, be is willing an impartial joir shall determine, and if be is proven a traitor and meriting a traitor’s doom, be Is willing to pay the penalty of his death; for then the knowledge of tbe mo tives prompting to bis coune and mens sibi consria recli will sustain him. The penalty of defeat iu the great struggle of s great people for a great principle be would cheerfully pay, and though judged by the standard of sober discretion, his course may have been premn- tuie and ill-advised, and though tried by tbe technical teats of the law he may be ad judged guilty of treason, there would yet be something of glory In such a fate; but every feeling of bis nuture revolts at assassination, and particularly ot such a man as Mr. Lin coln, who. although his opponent in a con test of arms be respected ler bis integrity, high maguanimity of character and sincere and unyielding derollon to what he consid ered right. All this, as relates to the cap ture of Surratt and the interests and destiny of Mr. Davis as involved in the case, and particularly tbe expressed gratification of tbe latter at tbe arrest, does not much lavor the theory of Mr. Davis' implieation in tbe mur der of Mr. Lincoln. Disregarding bis own assertions, bis friends feel confident that il Surratt does attempt to shoulder the assassi nation plot on bim, a rigid investigation will show tbo charge as groundless as that at tempted by the alleged perjurer Conover aud bis tools before tbe special investigation com mittee of tbe last Congress. Concluding this topic, I will therefore add that the capture of Surratt has not diminished the appetite of Jeff. Davis ; tiiat his sleep has been none the less ou account of it; that be maintains the same even tenor of mind and spirits, aud is as cordial and social as ever towards tbe offi cers of the fort and visiting friends daily calling to see bim. Tbe Southern SUtu—Fiyd Policy off the Radicals. The intelligent and apparently well-posted special Washington correspondent of the Richmond Examiner, writing undor date of the 16th instant, gives the following exposi tion of the fixed polioy of tbe majority oi the United States Senate, in regard to the question of reconstruction, which will be read with special interest at this particular juncture. He says: rA very Important development ot tha fixed policy of the Radical rulers, in regard to the ten Southern States, wss yesterday mede In the Senete. Senator Wede, of Ohio, to s reply to Hr. Sumner, who as sumed thst Mr, Wede oooonrred with him in the pur pose of refuting edmiseteu to any Slate hereafter whoso constitution discriminated between white aud black cltlaens, stated that, tf the Southern States now excluded would, after a reasonable time—and that time has nearly expired—ratify tha oonatilutioun amendment, he would certainly admit them to alt their political rights. Ha VO aid stand by tha agree ment, which was implied In the offer, and would re store aby State that accepted and complied witli the terms of the amendment. Snbeeqnently, Hr. Wade was asked what he oonalderedas “a reasonable time." Hr. Wade, in reply, said : After the State Legislatures have met and have had time to act on the amend ment. But if they reject the amendment, said he, raising his voice and pronouncing hie malediction iu the most emptfeUc manner, its terms eball be enforced upon them with the vhole power of tho ■country! Every Radical Senator manifestly concurred 111 tbe declaration. Indeed, it bad been tbe .object of can ons consideration and unanimous agreement. There fore, it was that it was necessary that Congress should meet on tire fourth of March. Congress, next spring, is to take measures to enforce the tonna of the consti tutional amendment upon the recusant states. By that lime the ten Southern Slates will have rejected the amendment, and their Legislatures have u>l journed. Congress will assume that three-fourths ol the State Legislatures ot the represented Stator are alone necessary to the ratification of the amendment, and proceed to enforoe It upon the ten exoludedRouth eru States by the entire military aud naval farce o the country. If the President objects, he will be set aside, suspended, removed, and Congress will ruu the government. Tke DerAMratls Party. It was announced in our telegraphic col utnus yesterday that the Democratic Statu Committee In Connecticut has called a con - vent ion to meet at New Haven, on the atli of January, to consider the revolutionary acts of the present Radical Congress, and the propriety of reoommending a Nations 1 Convention with reterenoe to the same sub ject. We observe that a .deoidecT movement is being made to thoroughly reorganize the Democracy throughout tbe North, with a view to the next .Presidential election. Tbe Democratic press claim that the majority of the nation is with that party, but unity, en ergy and action are necee&»ry to give effect to its voice through the ballot box. Consid ering the great s’nke at Issue—nothing lots titan the right of tbe people to govern them selves, as against a consolidated central des potism—*he Democrats are not beginning these preparations too soon. Cm or Brunswick.—Tbe Brunswiok Cou rier is jubilant over the Increasing evidences of improvement la that oily. It aays : ‘.•Pas sengers are arriving in every boat for the purpose of making arrangements to make Brunswick their home. Several have pur chased, while other* are ‘looking around. New buildings are going up, and old ones are being'repaired. Oar mill men are de lighted, aa it will give ttem an opportunity of giving away] thaif slabs, refuse lumber, Ac. Hurrah for Brunswickt Her star is in the ascendant!" Tbe same paper netiees the death of Colo nel Henry DuBignon, at the advanced age of over eighty years. The Hero of Fort Fisher.—We learn from a New England paper that General Butler is very anxious for the early assem bling of the next Congress, of which he will be a member, in order that he may pull the wires so as to secure the Radical nomination to the Presidency, for which he ia an aspi rant, and adds that “this commencement of his Presidential undertaking has a curious resemblance to the manner of his attnek upon Fort Fisher, and will doubtless result as satisfactorily." That is the nnkindest cut of all. BY TELEGRAPH. MIGHT DISPATCHES. FROM WASHMGTON. Congnuloasl PruteMllaffi, Ace. Wahhinoioh, Dectember 4o.—The President seat a message to the House to-day. enclosing a letter from General Santa Anns to him, deled December, 1886, and May last, asking tbla government to help him to re-establish order in Mexico. He asked for a personal interview, but Secretary Seward, in August, denied it on the ground that each a reception would b* igcom pebble with the settled practice end habits of tke Bx- ecutive Department of the Government, aa we hold correspondence with tbe representative of the Repub lic, which wo have uot recognized, end not with men who pronounce themselves to behoetile. ^ AiMaflioteorrciitoPdaiee •ooompenies toe laker. relative t6 the irftofbf MiVMKvwhVMn-^ ral Sheridan says was much on the Mine principle that tbe PenUns were arrested, in attempting to vio la to our laws, by th» invasion of Canada, viz: to pre vent a breach of the neutreHty laws. •''' General Grant concur* In this view of the ease. 3BXATB.—The debate continued on tbe Nebraska bill uulil four o'clock, without a vote being taken, after which tho Senate went into executive Master and adjourned. Huusa.—Several speeches were made while in Com mittee on the Whole on the President's message, after which the committee rose 'and the Hones adjourned. The Senate, in executive session today, confirmed the appointment of Thomas T. Craven to be Bear Ad miral in tbe Navy, and Commodore MatauoUidn Smith to be Chief of the Bureau of Equipment and Recruiting in tbe Navy Department. Several other naval appointments were confirmed. WAsmaaToit, Dee. 20.—An arrangement has been made by tbe General Pont Office Department of Ftanoe for tbe exchange of mails by moans of the new lines of French steam packets established between Havana and New Orleans, running in connection with the French line of packets conveying tbo mails between St Ndzxlre and Vera Cruz, Dnder this irmnge- raeut tbo New Orleans Postoffice will make up malls tor and receive malls from the agent embarked on board the French packets. BANK BILLS, DEPOSITS IN SAVINGS BANK, PURCHASED BY DAVID R. DILLON, Banker, 224 Bay Street. Prom Buropte Pauis, Dec. 20—livening.—Since tbe message of President Johnson to Congress wae received here Iu full, by steamer, it his bed a belter effect ou public opinion than the meagre end imperfect synopsis which was previously received through tbe Atlsutie Cable. The budget of M. Fould, French Minister of Fi nance, shows that the revenues and expenditures of France are in a state of equilibrium, end declares thst the proposed scheme of the reorganisation of the army wili involve no increase of taxes, but will prove a fresh guaruutce of peace for the future. It is reported that M. Fould has loaned ninety millions of francs to tbe Government of Spain. The French Minister of Marines has announced that there will bo no naval levy for the drat quarter of the year 1367, the present reserve being sufficient. The Crown Prince of Denmark was at Berlin end bad exchanged visits with the Kmg. The latter Government gave a State dinner to tbe Prince. The Berlin correspondent of the London Times says, notwithstanding all aasertious to the contrary, in tbe Austrian offloUl press, it may be regarded as a pobilive fact that tbe troops are about to be concen trated in Galicia. Some of the regiments detailed for the sendee are already under marching orders. Jhe official Vicuna Journals deny this statement, and saacrl that the relation* of Prussia and Austria moat satisfactory, and that nothing whatever has taken place to disturb Them in any way. It acorns perfectly clear that troubles oontinae in Candia, but tbe advieee are as conflicting as ever. There has been u report that Russia had invited England aud France to come to an understanding in this matter, but the rumor lacks confirmation. The Pall Mall GazettS gives s report that Francs had addressed a veiy peremptory ooumunicatton to the Gree k government, requesting it to put a stop to the machinations of its agents in tbe Esst.eepeoi- ally iu Canton. The Bank of France gained fourteen million francs during the we ek. Worn Halrlgh. ILai.kigii, December 20.—Colonel Bomford, com manding the Uniled States military forces in this State, interfered and prevented tho sheriff from in flicting corporeal punishment on tho person of a ue- gro this morning.

The French cavalry, armed with this gun, ean act aa flying ar tillery,, and, keeping out ef range ol ’“needle- guns," or any similar weapons, destroy tbe troops who hold them. A Washington letter aays it is confidently asserted by Southern men that the Territo rial bill now before Congress will never be enforced by tbe President, if it should be passed. Not one of them believe in tbe right of Congress, or any other body or power, to destroy a sovereignty. This is the ground asanmed by tbe President; hence the confi dence of tbe people interested.
