with the action of Congress in the ro

excited apprehension* thet Mir planters
may bo induc'd to make another iff rt
to retrieve the-r lost fort owes by large j
planting*. From what wo bate been i
enabled to gethor, Ibis apprehension i? I
unfounded, so far as this section if C'n
cerned. It is but fair to say, that the j
e mntry contiguous to Columbus has j
p reduced a larg< r crop to the area pLn- |
ted and the 1 amis hired, during the past
two season*, than any other section of j
tbe c '.ton growirg region. Y«* with
this advantage, our plauters are impov
erished and greatly discouraged, and
we do not think they will make further
attempts ftl financial suicide. Thtre is
not grain sutli i uit in the country to
support stock and labor for another
crop of heavy proportion-, and the pros
pects are that the labor will be more un
reliable than ever. It is proboble that
an election will be held in Georgia just
about the time f r cotton planting.—
This will demoralize the negroes, and
as the Presidential campaign will open
soon thereafter, with its meetings,
speeches and political maneuvsring gen
erally, ho will be a for uuatc mau and
ago and manager who can eantrol labor
sufficient to make a crop.
There is no telling how Eng cotton
may hold its present prices, or anything
approaching them. The market is as :
tcudei as an exotic, and withers as \
quick under adversity. The present
Congress can put the tax back whenever ’
it desires. It was removed not from a
spirit of justice, but fur political consid
erations alone. The way to fortune by ;
large cotton planting is beset with fear
ful difficulties, if net.bar.ed with im
possibilities Success, moderate suc
cess, may still be found iu a judicious |
culture of small crops, after all atten
tion has been bestowed upon ot-reals.—
As apropos to this most important sub
ject, we app: Ld the I llowing extraot
from a late number of the Southern
Recorder, which embodies the true phi
losophy of the question. It runs as
follows:

TSio Yaliuual Democratic Con
vention.
This body, it has been determined, is
to assemble in the city of New York
on tbe 4tb day of July next. Upon
thb announcement, one hundred gun;
were fired in tho park ia honor of it.—
That city, says the New York World, of
the 25th inst, “i9 complimented for 'he
first time in the history of parties in
this country by being selected as the
place for boi ling the Democratic Na
tional Convention, July 4- Heretofore
Baltimore b&s been -s favored city, from
its supposed oontral position and access
ibility, five National Democratic Con
ventions in succession having beon held
in Baltimore in 1836,1840, 1814, 1848
and 1852, and agaiu in 186 Y, after tbe
adjournment from Charleston. The
Convention of 1856 was at Cincinnati,
and that or 1864 at Chicago, This is by
no means the possible Western limit of
future Conventions ; the National Dem
ocratic Convention of 1872 may be
held in the capitol of Nebraska, then
owned by our correspondent Geo Fran
cis Train, hi- heirs or assgucis, and in
1876 in Dublin, Capitol of the new
State of Ire'aod, of which Ttrain or
Elizabeth Cady Stanton may be Gover
nor. But this city is tho pFcsent peliii
cal, as well as commercial centre of tbe
country, and its selection for the Nation
al D emqcratioConvention of 18G8, is in
all respects as advantageous as it is ap
propriate.
a War between England and
Mexico is said to be in prospect. A
Washington corresponds states that
private advices from London havo been
received in that city, stating that the in
telligence from Mexico, that the govern
ment has determined to repudiate all
debts ot foreign countries except the
United States, has given rise to an in
tense feelii g of indiguatiou in tbe Kng
li.-b Government. The. reason assigned
by Mexico for the adoption of such a

Europe for the recognition ts Maximil
lian. England, however, not having
followed Europe in this hasty proceed
ing, is consequently doubly affected by
tbe new M<xican policy Tbe English
Government, it is said, is seriously con
templating the fitting out of a titet to
take possession of the ports of Mexico
and hold them until satisfaction is given
We give this intelligence as part of the
currtut news of tbe day, without vouch
ing fur it. It is certaiuly strange, if
England has really* determined upon
hostilities against Mexico, that wo have
not heard of it before through line di

From public and private sources we
have learned of many ol the tricks put
up by Joseph Brown to manage the
Mulattoee in Ahnnta. The latest
dodge of his is related as follows in
the Atlnn a correspondence of the
New York Times. The writer says:
The glad tidings wmre announced
this morning that the military treasu
rer had arrived with $20,000, to he
distributed among the members and
officers of the Convention This sum
will give tr.ein about SIOO each They
can only look for SIO,OOO more from
Gen. Meade. But the loan is again
spoken of It is said that the parti**
who proposed to make the lean hesita
ted to complete it r.n the advice of
Gov Brown, their lawyer, who has
hi heito doubted the prudence of their
doing so, as he thought it very proba
ble that the Constitution would be de- i
seated and that the money would nev
er be repaid. Now that the declared
right of the negro to hold office is
stricken out, and there is a strong 1
probability that representation will be
i harmoniously settled, he advises his
1 clients that they may safely lend the
I money. I know that the negotiator of
the loan, Mr Hopkins, has stated tho
foregoing t > be tho euse, and, theie
lore, it is safe to suppose that he is
well informed. It would take near’y
SIOO,OOO to pay the. Convention up to
day. It would. 'V.trJore, tase S7O -
| 000 in add tit n to the sum - received
i Irom Gen. Meade Th y will probu-
Srmtrm* rnr tne trivrvmr v»rrn-ti me
G neral promises to pay, it will require
a loan of SIOO,OOU to give the mem
bers and t ffieers “their due.”
It may be just as well for those who
I ropose to invest their greenbacks,
says the Columbus Sun, as Joseph di
rects to know, that no matter whether
the Constitution be ratified by force or
fraud, the people of Georgia do not
hold themselves responsible lor one
ceDt of the cxpenditU'es of the Mulatto
Convention.
We are told that when the Conserva
tives held a caucus and proposed to
boh because the negroes were made
competent to bold offices, that they had
no better pertse than to admit Joseph
into the conference and to permit him
to make a harrangue. With Lis oily
eloquence he persuaded them to bold
on, and immediately slipped out, went
to the Radical caucus and succeeded iD
persuading that body to desert the ne
gro. The correspondent ol the Times
adds, that if Joseph’s little disabilities
are removed in time Bullock’s and Far
row’s chances for Gubernatorial honors
are s'im
Tho people of Georgia will not be
slow to forget that to Joeepn Brown,
the most selfish, adroit and unscrupiu
lous of all men who claim Southern
birth, they owe moe? of the misfortunes
and oppressions w hich have befaiien
them.
Another Advocate of Mr. John
son.—Alexander H. Stephen*, Vice
President of the late Confederacy, is
now in I’hiladelpbia, and in an inter
view wilb the lieporier of the l'hiladel
pbia Inquirer, expressed h;s choice of a
candidate for the next Presidency, as
follows :
“Well, I am not an active man now :
I am a paroled prisoner. However, I
don’t mind saying that 1 think Mr.
Johnson’s re-election would be a good
thiDg for the country, lie is the best
balf-way man that I can see. I have
disagreed with him many times, but he
is a national man, who tries to do for
tie best, and who seems to be the clear
est. I think Lis position is a patriotic
j one, and he is steadfast in it. If tbe
Democratic party could harmonize and
nominate him, it would cneouragc tbe
Southern pcofle to believe that all
might yet be well."
Let Them Bpeak We see no like
libood of assembling a Convention oi
tbe people to select delegates to tbe i\a
tional Demo, ratio Convention, and we
therefore respectively suggest to the va
rious Democratic Clubs *Lrougbout tbe
State, to recommend, by resolution, the
Central Committee to act in tbe matter.
Let tbe Club of this county at its next
meeting adopt a rt■ Jut Ob to this ef

About 11:20 A. M., Oen. Lorenzo

self at the door of the Department and
to and Mr. Stanton that he would line to

coed with anything-he hud to say
Gen 'I hormis remarked he had come
to discharge his duties Secretary of
War ad interim, having been ordered
to do so by the President of the United
Sta es. Mr. Stanton replied that he
had been ordered by the President to
act as Secretary of War, and he inten
ded to do it. 'Mr. Stanton again re ,
plied lie should not, and again ordered j
him to his own room, and denied the
power of the President to make any
such order. Gen. Thomas said he
would not go, that he should obey the
orders of the Piesident, and uot obey
the orders of Mr. Stanton. Mr. Stan-
ton remarked, “As ."ecretary ol War
1 order you to repair to your own place
as Adjunct General.” Gen 1 kmmus
— 1 L shall not do so.” Mr. Stanton
said, ‘‘Then you may stay there as long
as you please, if the President or dels
you. but you cannot act as Secretary
ol War.” Gen. 1 hom'us —“1 shall uot
as Secretary of War.”
Gen. Thomas then withdrew into a
room opposite, being Gen. Shriver’s
room, Mr Stanton immediately follow
ing him. After some conversation, Mr.
Stanton said, ‘‘Then, you claim to be
here as Secretary of \Y ar, and reluso
to obey my orders Gen. Thomas —
“I do, sir. I shall require the mails for
the War Department to be delivered
to me, and shall transact all business of
the War Department.”
At this juncture Gen. Grant and Aid
came in., Gen. Grant said playfully to
Mr. Stanton : “I am surprised to find
vou here; I su; posed you would be at
my headquarters for protection.”
| STANTON BAItR'CADES HIMSELF.
Gen. Thomas subsequently called at
the White House and had another in

passed between them was not known.
