Ail kinds of absurd rumors and reportB are in circulation throughout the South, which for tho want of mail facilities are, in many oasos, re sulting to tbo serious disadvantage of the people and of tho welfare of the country generally—the most important of which is that a government tax of twenty five cents is levied on every pound of cotton raised, which is being generally believed by the planters, who, it appears, are, in many instances, ploughing up thb year’s crop of cot ton and replanting the ground with wheat.— Syrup manufactured from sorghum is, according to these reports to be taxed fifty cents a gallon, which is believed by the farmers, even ia the vicinity cf Raleigh, where, says the Progress, the cano is being fed to the hogs - Another report, which meets with more ore- dcnce than all o’hers, is that negroes are not to he made free by the war; that the proclamation freeing the slaves was only intended as a mili tary necessity, and now that peace is restored, it has no validity or effect, and that this will he tho decision of the Supreme Coart. Hence many planters are holding on to -their slaves with the same tenacity as before the war. Many of the leaders in the South are confident that as soon as Congress meets, war with France is inevitable, which, they claim, will result in the recognition of the Confederacy. Considering the unsettled condition of the Southern people, and their exclusion from the civilized world, through, the inoperative condi tion ol the Post Office Department, it is not strange that such a state of things exists. The work of reconstruction, it is claimed, is thus de layed a year or two for the want of mail facili ties to educate the people, as their first attempt in this direction must necossarily be a failure, inas much as it cannot bo expected that the Southern people will be reconciled to what will be required of them, they having no opportunity for enlight enment on the vital points on which the Northern States are united. Meeting- in Carteret County—Rejoic ing tliat Peace lias been Restored— important Notice to tlte Frecdnien, Ac. Nf.wberx, August 25, 1865. At a meeting of the magistrates at a court called for the purpose of appointing boards to register and administer the oath of amnesty to the citizens of Carteret county, after the trans action of that business the citizens and magis trates present formed themselves into a meeting by calling A. J. Turlington to the chair, and requesting Benjamin F. Shaw to act as Secre tary. The following resolutions were adopted: Whereas, after a long and bitter conflict, which has terminated by the Southern States submitting to the national authority ; and, whetpas, the close of-the war has left North Carolina without any civil government, and, believing that a large majority of the people of the State desire, as speedily as possible, that civil government be established, and that she be remitted back again to her rights as a mem ber of the American Union, Resolved, That we rejoice that peace has again been restored to the country. Resolved, That we are ready and willing to co-operate with and aid the authorities in re storing civil government, and the establish ment of law and order, and that we rejoice at the prospect that North Carolina is speedily to resume her position in the Union. Resolved, That in the opinion of this meet ing the official conduct of W. W. Ilolden has been such as to entitle him to the thanks of the citizens of the whole State, and that his patriotism and ability in the management of he alf.iirs of our State in their troubled con dition point him out at this time as altogether worthy of the confidence and support of the people at tho coming election for Governor of North Carolina. Resolved, That we recommend Neill Mc Kay, Esq., as a candidate for a delegate to the convention from the counties of Carteret and Cumberland. A. J. Turlington, Chairman. B. F. Shaw, Secretary. Colonel Whittlesey, Assistant Commission er of the Freedmen’s Bureau at Raleigh, has found it necessary to issue the following circu lar : It is reported that many freedraen refuse to enter into contracts for labor, because they be lieve that farms will be given them by the Uni ted Statqs government. If any do thus be lieve they have no reason for their belief. The government owns no land in this State. It therefore can give away none. Freedmen can obtain farms with the money which they have earned by their labor. Every one should therefore work diligently, and carefully save his wages until he may be able to buy land and possess his own home. Vffly Reports from tl»c Northeastern l*nrt of Hie State—Tlte Maltreatment and Murder of BIar,ks—A Reign of Terror. Raleigh, N. C., Aug. 21. Lieut. A. W. Hahn, on special duty of an im portant character in the Department of Virginia, has arrived here from a trip through the north eastern portion of this State, where there is no military force. He reports that three negroei were shot in Northampton the other day by the Home Guards, or County Police, for refusing to return to their master after accepting of employ ment elsewhere; that toe people refuse to recog- Dize tho freedom of the blacks, who are whipped and tortured in the most fiendish manner for even expressing a desire to be free, and that shooting and killing these creatures appears to be the order of the day. He also stases that a Onion man, in Hertford county, employed a colored girl for a family servant,without having first consulted her former master, who visited the Union man’s house with a loaded gun, with the view of ki.ling him for this offence, as the wages were to be paid to the girl instead of the master. The Union man, who has been an officer in the Federal ser vice,-wa- obliged to fly for his life, for the rebel sympathizers took sides with the'taaster. Heat, llahn says that a periect reign of terror exists in that portion of this State, accessible to Norlolk, which is the nearest military post, al though not included in that department, hence no protection can be afforded to the Union men and negroes from that quarter. It is nearly a hundred miles from any military post in this State. Governor Holden and General Huger — Huger Declines to give up Prison- . ere to be Tried by tlte Civil Courts. Beaufort, August 25. Governor Holden, of North jCarolina, having requested General Huger, commanding at Raleigh, to remand three oitizens arrested by the latter for assaulting a freedman to the county in which the assault was committed, to be tried by a civil tribunal, and calling his attention to the fact that civil law has been organized m that county, General Ruger replies that it appears to him inexpedient to comply with the request, for the reasons, among others, that it is the duty of the military to preserve order; that though mag istrates have been appointed they do not take official notice of unlawful violence toward freed- men, although such acts have by no means be come unfrequent in the different sections of the State. He also says that of late aeveral cases of hcmicide'of freedmen by whites have been brought to his knowledge ; but in no case, so far as he had learned, was any arrest made by the magis trates or civil officers, or attempt had for inves tigation. And from his own observation and in formation these acts of violence are becoming more frequent. He therefore thinks prompt trial and punishment by military commission the only adequate remedy for the evil. EUROPEAN ADVICES. ONE DAY LATER. The North America at Quobec. Father Point, Aug. 28. The steamship North America, from Liver pool 17tb, via Londonderry 18ih, arrived off this point this morning en route to Quebec.

The meeting was understood to depend upon the result of the ne gotiations then in progress.

The Liverpool Mercury of the 17th, which reached here to-day in the mails of the North America, contains an account of the sinking, in March last, of the ship Sam Dunning, from Haogoou for Liverpool. Out of a crew of thirty-one men, only six survived. ’These sur vivors kept afloat on a raft for several days, enduring terrible sufferings. They had to eat leather belts and pitch out of the seams, and to drink salt water. Another raft was lost, with the following persons: Richard Wheeler, West Point, New York ; Joseph Burrows, Brighton; Thomas Baines, Liverpool; Alexander McKenzie, London ; Hanson Anson, Rotterdam, Christopher —, Hamburg, (late of the Victory) ; Captain A. Whitehouse, W. Lemar, Hunt, Thomas Shields, cabin boy, of Swansea; Thomas Da venport, Preston, Lancashire; W. White, Glasgow;iJoses Grosmo, Brazil; John Hill, England; W. Boyse, Ireland; George Davies, Havre; John Brett, London; and Albert Sweeney, cook, of North Carolina. The survivors were rescued on the 24th of April by the ship Chariot of Fame. It would appear that they had been on the wreck from the 19th of March till the day they were picked up. They were in a most wretched condition, and nigh dead from hunger, thirst and expo sure to tho elements, being drenched to tho skin by the waves, which every moment dashed over their frail support. Their hands and feet were inflamed and swoolen to an enormous size with the action of the sun and salt water. They were got on board as soon as possible, and one of them, as soon as lifted over the rail, ejacu lated, “Thank God, yon have saved our lives,” and immediately fainted away. Everything that could be thought of to relievo them was done with all speed, and in a few hours they had so far recovered as to be able to relate their sad story. Statement of an American Sailor. James Baines, of Boston, Mass., made the following statement: “Left Rangoon on March IS, towed down the river by two steamtugs; came to inside the light ship at 9:30 P. u. Hove up on the 19th ; steamer towed us outside the lightship. Pro ceeded to sea with a lair wind and a small list to port, until reaching the line, when we got squally weather, variable winds, and as far as 4 deg. south latitude, wind from west-northwest, then northing, and from that to west, breaking off to north. Continued so until April 15, when a heavy cross swell arose from the southeast to northwest, wind gradually increasing from that quarter until the evening of the 13th, when it in creased to a hard gale. About 10 p m. it came upon ns in a great hnrricane, the ship laboring and pitching very heavily. People contmually at the main and bilge pumps but could not get them to bring water. Mainyard adritt on the deck, starting the timber and bitts. Wind still increasing. Hauled the foresail up at 8:30 to wear ship, but could not wear her. Hauled up on the star board tack again. Meanwhile ship gradually sinking down, going over on her side more and more. “Two a. m., Tussdat, March 19.—The mate called all hands aft on ihe poop, asking the cap tain what was to be done, tor he did not think the ship would last the night out. The captain making no answer, some of the crew adviBed to cat the masts away to right the ship. The mate would not take the responsibility on himself, stating that the ship might last till to-morrow, and Jhen he would be blamed for it. Every time the ship rolled she seemed to lie heavier on the water and not to rise as freely as she did. Three of the crew took a light and went down into the ‘upper’tween decks,’and returned to slate that unless the masts were cut away the ship would go down in less than half an hour, the water sluicing in in all directions from the sternpost, all the provisions and sails being afloat. All the eargo had shitted bodily to leeward (the port side]. On this report being made, the mate ask ed the captain if he should cut the masts away.— He said, ‘No; she will hold on till daylightbut the mate contradicting, the assent was given to cut away, which was countermanded. After waiting about a quarter of an hour we could feel the ship settling down gradually. Oiders were given to cut away the mast; ancl as the mizen- mast went, so did the ship.-1 was on the weather side corner of thepoop-house, close to the cap tain, who got oref.the side and caught hold ot the main brace, a heavy sea breaking over us and deluging the decks fore and aft. She was thefl in the trough of the sea and sinking, while I held on to the brace for considerable time. I then let go, and coming to the surface swam about for two minutes, got nold ot a small piece of wreck about six feet long, got on it, and was buoyed up for about five minutes. I kept in this position, tollowing to see if there was any one alive until I got an answer from the poop deck wreck, on which were six or seven men. I left my piece of the wreck plank and went off to them, the gale still violent. It abated about two p. m., while we were left swinging in the sea, surrounded by pieces of the wreck, chests, chairs, hatches, bul warks, <tc.” • FROM HALIFAX, N. S- Honor to a Union Editor Malignity. -Secession The Boston Postoffice. Boston, Ang. 26. The statistics of the Boston Postoffioe for the , fiscal year ending June 30. 1865, show a net profit overall expenses of $348,800 for the gov ernment. Last Thursday evening several desperadoes at- tacked the jail in Dyer eonnty, Tennessee, for the purpose of delivering some of their aooom- plioes imprisoned there.

Soma of the secession organs there are much exercised, and express great disgusi at the fact of Mr. Richie, the only Union editor of that o.ity, having been invited to New York to receive the thanks of the loyal merchants of the metro polis in some substantial manner for his fearless upholding of the United States Government dar ing the past foor years. The secessionists, in order to offset this move ment, had extemporised a presentation supper to one Dr. Almon, who had been a leader of the re bels in Halifax, and who made himself notorious ly conspicuous in the steamship Chesapeake affair, and who also aided the escape of pirates after they had been arrested. It will be remembered that the Captain of the pirate Tallahassee public ly thanked -Dr. Almon for assistance rendered that craft while there, after being ignored by the British Admiral.—A. Y.

Macon Cotton Mills.—We visited this factory yesterday, and found it in fall opera tion, " This factory has continued to manufac ture during the four past years, and by ex changing its fabrics for country produce at reasonable prices, it has been enabled to feed its operatives and contribnte material aid to the poor of the city, besides declaring hand some dividends to its stockholders. The fab rics manufactured by this mill are of a superi or quality, and command higher prices in the market than those of any other manufactory in the 8oqth.— Macon TeUyraph, IMPORTANT ORDERS. Headquarters, Ass’t Commissioner, Bubeau Refugees, Freedmen and 1 Abandoned Lands, > South Carolina and Georgia,) Beaufort, S.C., Aug. 28, 1865. GENERAL ORDER, ) No 11. J • I. It is understood that numerous dis tilleries are being established within the limits of this Department, for the pur pose of manufacturing whiskey from corn, and that the owners thereof are in tending to purchase corn at low rates from the freedmen, for this purpose. In a time like the present, when starvation and famine threaten the country, when thousands are without food, or are being fed by Government bounty, no such waste of food should he tolerated. All Agents of this Bureau will take measures to prevent, as much as may be in their power, and discourage in every way, the freedmen from selling their corn to those who will use in the manufacture of whis ky. Freedmen, particularly those who have families, should not sell their com ; they will need it all for food before another harvest II. In cases where freedmen have cul tivated lands upon shares, each crop must be divided at the time it is gather ed between the freedman who cultivated it and the owner of the land, according to the terms of the contract or agree ment. It is the duty of all Agents connected with this Bureau to see that fair and lib eral contracts are made, remembering that “the laborer is worthy of his hire,” and that both parties carry out their agreements in good faith. The best arrangements that can be made for all parties is the cultivation of the land upon shares—the owner of land taking one- lialf of the crop, and the cultivator the other half. The freedmen will he allow ed to use a portion of the store houses on the place for storing their portion of the crop. III. The attention of all Agents of this Bureau is again called to the law of Con gress, as enunciated] in Circular No. 18, from the Bureau of Refugees and Freed men, fixing the status and defining what arc to be regarded as abandoned lands.

To-day several large castings will be placed on board of the Dunderberg, preparatory to setting the cylinders. Vice-Admiral D. G. Farragut and wife have returned from their summer trip, and are stopping with Capt. Pennock, of Brooklyn. Commander J. H. Strong has been ap pointed to a captaincy. Commander Stephen D. Trenchard has been ordered to the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Lieut. W. F. O. Davenport has been de tached from the Sabine, and Lieut. 11. De Manly ordered in his place. Ai'eic Navy lleyulations. Circular No. 1 of the New Navy Regulations says : “Steam will only be used in entering or leavfng port, when the vessel cannot be man aged under sails alone, and under other cir cumstances where an urgent necessity may ex ist which renders it necessary for the perform ance of the service, if a specified time for its performance has been directed by proper au thority.” The same authority says : “All decks even with or below the water-line will be covered with shellac, paint, oil or varnish, to avoid holystoning, which is forbidden on such decks. “After the 1st of June, 1866, neither en signs, masters nor lieutenants will be promo ted to next higher grades, respectively, nntil they have established to the satisfaction of a board of examining officers, or other dnly ap pointed board, that they possess a sufficient knowledge of the French and Spanish lan guages to speak the same with a fair degree of fluency.” The friends of Alexander H. Stephens, now in confinement in Fort Warren, are making stren- uona endeavors to seonre his pardon and relaese. His brother Linton was at the White House on that errand yesterday. NOTICE.
