As much interest is felt throughout the country in regard to tl*s prospects of the cotton and other crop# we will be grateful to our planting friends and others - n the interior for information on that subject.- Those Who have opportunities for obtaining valuable infor mation in regard to tho growing crops, the working ol the free-labor system, and kindred matters, of gen eral iutorest, will confer a favor by communioating th« same to ub. * ' but be icco^nized «n unavoidable and im- ptiiohs demand For its adoption. \Ve learn from the Florence Journal that, tiler the delivery ot the speech, a small but respectable meeting of citieens was held and passed, with other*‘the following resolu tions : ■Resolved further, That having implicit •confidence in bis sagacity m.d pmriniim. we wo^ e.wnesdy id. *J »» a . Making Itself Felt. j Congress is beginning to make itself felt. . Its revolutionary projects shock public sen timent and Shake business confidence. It i could not be otherwise. All that we have * and are, as a people, depends upon the sta o bility of the Government and the internal t peace of the people, , Revolution unsettles, i overturns everything. It is but natural, } therefore, IhSt the exhibition which Con- t " . gress has made of reckless revolutionary pnr- poses should disturb business and unsettle confidence. 'life New York Commercial Ad vertiser (Radical', notes the effect already produced by . -tigress thus: “The erratic tamper of Congress is begin ning to create a certain degree of uneasiness among capitalists. The many extreme mea sures proposed within the first week of the session naturally produced a feeling of un certainty about matters likely to be affected by current legislation.” The New York Post, another Radical pa per, also speaks of the effect upon business as follows: “The tone of feeling in Wall street is one of suspense and incertitude. Every one seenis to regard the state of the currency wiih distrust. Consequently business is de pressed and confidence is perturbed. ’ What is to be the enil of Radical innova tion, nobody knows. The agitators in Con gress acknowledge no stopping point in their march of invasion. The negro free, and his civil rights amply protected, will not appease them. Even the adoption of the amendment, say Sumner and Stevens, giving free ballot to the colored man will ■ not be sufficient. The States must be 1 destroyed, the President impeached and de posed, and a minority Congress, representing but a portion of the Stales, elevated into the seat of supreme power. This is the end sought to be attained. For this Congress is upon the war patb, and to accomplish all this h tlffe interests of the country are overlooked or ■ treated as of comparatively little importance. ’ But there must be a point where reason and patriotism will resume their empire over the minds of the Northern people. The mer chants and manufacturers and business men will not always agree to place the interests of a cabal of politicians riding the negro hobby over and above all the thousand ques tions affecting the honor and standing of the nation abroad, and the welfare of millions ol white men at home. Truth must conquer in. the end, aDd it is the duty of all who wish to preserve constitutional liberty to keep the truth before the people. that in company -with suck M>f his felluw-citi- „„„ _! lie inav select, lie proceed to Washington and ascertain from sources deemed reliable, whether the adoption of the amendment t6 the Constitution pro posed to the States (knowu as the Congressional rc- eoustrriction polio) will, when adopted by the States, be conclusive, and entitle such Slate -to admissiou to her former etatnsifi the Government. Resolved, farther, That if siick> the case, w< are in favor of the adoption of this amendment, believing it far better thus to settle our relations growiuu out of the late war, than to risk years of strife to secure better terms. NIGHT The Journal says "the meeting did not ex-, piess the sentiment of Florence and Lauder dale counties, and future developments wilt exhibit the fact, and its belief is expressed iu a firm hope of its realization. Governor Patton arrived in Washington City on Friday last, and will remain, itds said, until after the re-assembling of Con gress, in order that be may cooler with mem bers and ascertain Whether the adoption of the Constitutional Amendment by the South ern States wilhsecure their complete restora tion to all their right in the Union. The Winter. Early in the season -oar Northern and Western exchanges contained prognostics, based on various never failing signs, of a se vere winter. These prophecies, so little re garded at the time, especially iu this region, where the rigors of winter, ^so terrible in more northern latitudes, are never known, seem about to be verified. For the past few days^hc telegraph has given us accounts ol heavy snow storms iu the North and TV cst, exceeding in extent and violence those of past years. Should the winter continue as severe as it has opened, there cannot fail to be much derangement of business, with great suffering among the poorer clusses- ol tho North, who will not only be deprived ot employment by which to obtain a livelihood, but will be expoaed to the inclemency of *he weather, without sufficient fuel and other means of mitigating its severity. The railroads and canals being obstructed, the movement of provisions will be retarded and prices enhanced. With all our deprives tions, we of the unhappy South have cause of gratulation that we are favored with a more genial climate, where the sufferin and discomfort of extreme cold are not in-, eluded in the catalogue of our misfortunes. 3 Congressmen on llleSi* Travels. The Congressional excursion party which left Washington a few days since for New Orleans, numbering about!thirty members, spent a day at Nasuviile, Tennessee. Their reception, it is stated, was a perfect ovation, uud speeches were made' by the radical members and responded to heartily by the lirominent “ex-rebels’’ of the State, inclu ding Generals Cheatham and Maury and Ex Governor Brown. The PnitadeJphia Age, commenting upon the Southern tour of these Radical Congressmen aud spending their holiday vacation in New Orleans, says it is the most fitting aud sensible thing it has known Radical Congressmen to undertake. “The knowledge of Southern affairs which they will gain in such a flying trip along the great lines of travel will be disjointed and superficial enough ; but it cauaot fail, in some small degree, to enlarge their minds, • aud give them a belter appreciation or the * duties Congress owes to this blighted and prostrate sectiou- It is, at any rate, a re cognition of their duly, as legislators, to ac quaint themselves with the present temper and condition of the people on whom tbeir laws are to operate and whose interests they ought to promote. Any steps toward the acquisition of such knowledge dcserVc commendation, for, however imperfect the method, the fragmentary glimpses gained by persons in' honest' pursuit of informatiou, may stimulate a zeal for more adequate re searches.' 'hr I Floor.— duch" has been said to prove that * flour must rule high this year ; especially, it is said that potatoes will rot in the spring, allowing no substitute for wheat. The New •York World contioverts this position. After quoting the Chicago wheat receipts, it says : “Allowing five bushels of wheat to a barrel of flour, tbe number of bushels of wheat re ceived at Chicago, for eleven months in 1865 and 1866 was, respectively, 14,624,491 and ..20,046,045, and a comparison of the two ‘ shows an increase this year of 37 per cent. Such facts as these are arguments in them selves and clearly show that no good reason exists for tbe present high price of flour, or for apprehending that it will be still higher.” The Ocean Yacht Race. ** Rondos, Dec. 37.—All tift leading Loddon newspa pers liave loim fe&itorials complimentary to tbe yachts and tlieir crews, which took paftfn the great oops race.
