w*r.i bnrnt at Columbus. when General Wilson
occupied the city in April last, and about the
same tilne 346 halos were burnt at Butler by
the troops under his command. The wat>: ,
house receipts for these iota of cotton are >l 1
the bands of the State Agent, subject to the
order of ytuir Ercell- ncy.
Nine bales were burnt iu the warehouse of
Mr. Beal, of Augusta, aS heretofore reported.
The original invoices, ana all the papers
pertaining to the purchase of the first named
4,049 bales, were submitted to the Legislature,
with the receipts of the Agents, made iuet No
vember. The papers relating to the 1,961
bales, purchased since that time, are subject
to the order of your Excellency or the Con
vention.
In addition to the exportations mentioned,
168 bales were carried out for the State of
Georgia upon the steamer “Little Ada 1 ' which,
was so long blockaded both by the Federal
and the Confederate authorities, in one of the
inlets on tLo coa*-.t of couth Carolina.
It was reported to me, that the troops loca
ted at the inlet, where the steamer lay, had
out oIT a large number of the ropes from the
cotton for halters, which caused the cotton to
reach Nassau iu bad order. One-half the
whole cargo of the vessel was finally yielded
to the Confederate government before the
steamer was permitted to clear, and the Con
federate agent iu Nassau, as reported to me
by M. G. B. Lamar, ordered the sale of the
cargo at that place at auction. The State’s
part of the cargo brought £2,000 sterling, j
which Mr Ijumar informed me was placed to
the credit of tin State with Mr. Eafone.

Buppli«sVff the kind above mentioned, fur

non-acceptance, on the already mentioned in
this report.
The only other draft drawn by me on State
cotton abroad was on fe< ssrs. Beach, Root &
Cos ~ tvs above stated, for whatever amount the
cotton in their hands may nett, In favor of
said E. & S. L. Wailzfeldt”, to pay as far as it
will go on the protested drafts. It is supposed
the account current when received, will show
about £1,400 paid on the draft by them.
I believe tbe only remaining point upon
which the resolution for information, is,
as to the paybable value of the cotton destroy
ed and captured. Its original cost to the State
in currency was about $1,500,000.
As above stated, 926 bales ot the cotton sold
by Col. Wilbur, State Ageut to Mr. Brigham,
on the approach of the Federal army, were
purchased under the appropriations The
balance oi 1660 bales embraced in the sale, to
wit : 724 bales belonged to the W. Jt A. Rail
road.
For a full statement of this transaction, your
Excellency and the convention are raferred to
my report of it Heretofore made at your re
quest. -
It will also be seen by reference to the affi
davit of A A. Beall of Augusta, hereto annex
ed, that 351 bales of cotton, belonging to the
State road, were burnt by the military authori
ties of the Confederate States at Charleston,
South Carolina, about the time the city was
evacuated by our troops.
The whole amount in currency drawn from
the treasurer by the agents, tor the purchase
ot cotton under the different appropriations
made tor the purchase of soldiers’ clothing,
ootton cards and such other supplies, as were
directed to be imported, was $3,069,639 21.
Ot this stun. $206,381 88 was returned to the
treasurer by the ageut. aud $2,863,257 33, was
expended in the purchcse of the cotton and
tobacco above mentioned, and in tbe pay ment
of freights, export duties, bagging, compress
iug cotton and storage, insurances, drayage
lighterage, commissions and other incidental
expenses.
As the Legislature impc -ed upon me the
heavy aud delicate responsibility of pnrehas
iug and importing supplies. I have felt that
justice to myself required that I should not
confine this report to the points upon which
information was asked by the resolution of the
Conveution. but that I should give a general
statement of the amount expended for the
cotton and tobacco, the quantity purchased as
well as the quantity destroyed, and the disposi
tion made of the whole.
The unwise and rash conduct of the Confed
erate military authorities, in applying the
torch to the cotton, and the like, destruction of
it the Federal officers has caused heavy losses.
This, however, was one of the results ot the
war, which I had no power to control.

The Asiatic Cholkiu in England and
France. —There can no longer be any doubt
that the Asla'lc cholera has made its appear
ance and is spreading in England. Auolhea
fatal case has occurred at Southampton. From
there it has spread to Scholing Common and
BUterne, situated about four and two miles
from Southampton. The two cases at Schol
ing Common have proved fatal ; of seven ca
ses at Bitterne.two have proved fatal, while
the other patients wore improving. There is
also a marked diarrhea all over the district of
Bittern e.
Iu France the disease is likewise on the in
crease. A letter from Toulon states that it
has broken out with startling suddenness at
Sollies Root, a little town of three thousand
inhabitants. In the course of the first night
in which it made its appearance there were
titty cases, and thirty-elx hours later there had
already been fitty-five deaths out of a popula
tion reduced to one thousand souls by a panic
stricken people. In Toulon it has a peculiarly
virulent character.
The Paris correspondent of the New York
Times writes that the cholera has broken out at
the French capital spontaneously, and not by
contact with the points where it is raging in
the South of France. The disease has appear
ed principally at Montmartre, La Chappelle
and the legion around the Northern railway
station. The Hospital Lariboisiere, situated
near the station, has contained from twenty to
thirty cases daily for five or six days, most of
which have be4n fatal; but tbe facts are not
published otherwise than at the medical so
cieties and in the medical journals. The wri
ter Bays that if the cold days only arrive scon,
the city will probably escape this year, and
perhaps altogether, the epidemic disease which
is raging at Marseilles and Toulon with such
intensity. -
The National Deihtof Great Britain. —Tbjj
National debt of Great Britain was first con
racted during the warß waged by William 111
against France, at the accession of Queen Anne
in 1792, it amounted to 16,000,000 pounds. At
the accession of George I, in 1714, it reached
64,000,000 pounds. At the beginning of the
American war ,in 1775, it had attained the
magnitude, then considered frightful, of 128,-
000,000 pounds, so that men of all parties,
men, too, like Hume and Adam Smith, pre
dicted the inevitable and hopeless bankruptcy
of the nation. And it was to prevent it sink,
ing under the mighty load that Greenville, a
a cautious and able statesman, proposed to ob
tain relief by taxing America.
The American wav ended, England did not
tax America, but she did increase her debt to
249,000,000 pounds, and what is more, was
better able, then, to pay her interest in the
Bank the day it was due, than when she owned
colonies iu America and her debt was 121,000,-
000 pounds less. So. finally, it was when her
indebtedness swelled to the fabulous sum of
800,000,000 pounds at the close of the Napo
leouic struggle, England had grown in wealth
and development tc 6uch a degree that Macau-
Icy, judging of the future by the past, made
this prediction :
“A long experience justifies us in believing
that England may In the twentieth century be
better able to bear a debt of 1,600,000,000
pounds than she is at the present time to bear
the present load. A wise economy In the pub
lic administration, a judicious system of duties
and excises, aud the natural and inevitable ex
pansion and development of our yet untold
resources, will enable us, as a people, to carry
along our load, and neither break nor bend
beneath the weight.”
Those who are constantly prophesying evil
on account ol our great national debt, can see
by the figures and facts given that nations can
have great debts and yet be prosperous.
Eiairra Special Agency of the Treasury
Department,— The Eighth-Special Agency of
the Treasury Department comprises the whole
State of South Carolina and {the counties of
Burke, Scriven, Emanuell, Effingham, Bryan
Bullock and Chatham, in the State of t Georgiat
The Jmpervising Special'Agent for the E ghth
Agency is J. C. Callicot, Isq, whose office is
at Clarleston, S. C. No person is authorized
to collect any Government cotton or other pro
peity belonging to the United States in South
Carolina, or in the above named ‘counties in
Georgia, unless ho bears a letter of appoint
ment from Mr Callicot—the Supervising Spe
cial Ageut. Several peißons falsely pretend
ing to be Treasury Agents, have recently been
arrested, and we publish this information for
the benefit of all concerned.
Ex-Gov. Joseph E. Brown —The friends of
this gentleman, from all parts of the State,
have been urging him to allow his name to be
presented again as a candidate for Governor of
Georgia, But he has peremptorily refused to do
so. For several years he has devoted his en
ergies aud talents iu looking after the interests
of Georgia, and in advancing them as far as he
had the power so to do. He has haa the satis
faction of knowing that his services Wore ap
preciated by the people. Now, however, his
private business demands his attention, and he,
owes it to himself and his family, that his time
should lie given to them. We trust that the
Governor will soon re-appear upon the public
stage. Georgia cannot afford to dispense with
the services of such an able statesman.
Western Foundry —This establishment has
been operation since 1826. It is located on

We republish from the Ncuthern papers the
following details o! a conversation with Presi
dent Johnson by Maj. Geo. L. Steams of
Massachusetts. It is understood to have been
published with President Johnson’s approval,
and after his revision. We give it in lull, a
foilows :
Washington, D. C, Oct. 3. Ufa. m—l
have just returned from an interview with
President Johnson, in wh cli he talked for an
hour on the proce sos reconstruction o' rebel
States. His manner wa as cordial, and his
conversation a« free, as in 1861, when I met
him daily in Nacbviile.
His countenance is healthy, even more so
than when 1 first knew him
I remarked, that the people of the North
wcie anxious that the process should be
thorough, and (hey wished to support him in
the arduous work, but their ideas were confused
by the conflicting report constantly circula
ted and especially by the present position of
the Democratic party. It is indu triously cir
culated in the Democratic Clubs that he was
going over to them. * He laughingly replied
“Major, have you never known a man who
for many years had differed from views be
cause you were in advance of him, claim tiiom
as his own when he came up to your stand
point ?”
I replied, I have often. He said, so have I,
and went on : the Democratic party finds its
old position untenable, and comiug to ours ;
if it has come up*to our position, lam glad of
it. You and I need no preparation for this
conversation ; we can talk freely on this sub
ject, for the thoughts are familiar to us; we
can be perfectly frank with each other. He
then commenced with sa> ing that tho States
are in the Union, which is'whole and indivisi
ble :
Individuals tried to carry them out, but did
not succeed, as a man may try to cut bis
throat and be prevented by the bystanders;
and you cannot say he cut his threat because
he trie 1 to do it.
Individuals may commit treason, and be
punished, and a large number of individuals
may constitute a rebellion and be puuished as
traitors. Some States Lied to get out of the
Union, and we opposed it, honestly, because
we believed it wrong ; and we have succeeded
in putting down the rebellion. 'The power of
those persons who made the attempt has been
crushed, and now we want to reconstruct the
State Government and have tbe power to do
it. The State institutions are prostrated, laid
out on the ground, aud they must be taken up
and adaped to the progress of events ; this
cannot be done in a moment. Wo are making
very rapid piogresa, so rapid I sometimes can
not realize it; it appears like a dream.
We must not be in too much of a hurry ; it
is better to let them reconstruct themselves
than to force them to it ; for if they go wrong
the power is in our hands and we can cheek
them at any stage, to the end, and oblige
them to correct their errors, we must be pa
tient with them. I did not expect to keep
out all who were excluded from the amnesty,
or even a large number of them, but I inten
ded they should sue for pardon, and to realize
the enormity of the crime they had committed.
You could not have broached the subject
of equal suffrage, at the North, seven years
ago, and we must remember that the changes
at the South have been more rapid, and they
have been obliged to accept more unpalatable
truths than the North has ; we must give them
time to digest a part, for we cannot expect
such large affairs will be comprehended and
digested at once. Wo must give them iirae to
understand their new position.
I have nothing to conceal in these matters,
and have no desire or willingness to take in
direct courses to obtain what we want.
Our Government iB a grand and lofty struc
ture, in searching for its foundation we find it
rests on the broad basis of popular rights.
The elective franchise is not a natural right,
but a political right. lam opposed to giving
the States too much power, and also to a great
consolidation of power in the Central Gov
ern mEnt.
If I interfered with the vote in the Rebel
States, to dictate that the negio shall vote, I
might do the same thing for my own purposes
in Pennsylvania. Our onlv safsty lies in al»
lowing each State to control the right of vot
ing by its own laws, and we have no power to
control the Rebel States if they go wrong. It
they rebel, we have the army, and c,.n control
them by it, and, if necessary, by legislation
also. If the General Government control the
right to vote in the States, it may establish
such rules as will restrict the vote to a small
number of persons, and thus create a central
despotism.
My position here is different from what it
would be if I was in Tennessee.
There I shonld try to introduce negro suf
frage gradually; first those who had served
in the army ; those who could read and write,
and perhaps a proper qualification for others,
say S3OO or $250.
It would not do to let the negroes have uni
versal suffrage now ; it would breed a war of
races.
There was a time in tbe Southern States
when the slaves of large owners looked down
upon non slave owners because they did not
own slaves ; the larger the number of slaves
their master owned tbe prouder they were, and
this has picduced hostilities between the mass
of the whites and the negroes Tho outrages
are mostly from the non-elavebolding whites
against the negro, and from tho negro upon
the non-slaveholding whites.
The negro will vote with the late master,
which he does not hate, rather than with the
non-slavebolding white, whom he does hate.
Universal suffrage would create another war,
net against us, but a'war ot races.
Another thing. This Government is the
freest and best on the earth, aud I feel sure is
destined to'last : but to secure this, we must
elevate and purify tbe bailot. I for many
years contended at the South, that slavery was
a political weakness, but others said it was a
political strength ; they thought we gained
three fifths representation by it ; I contended
that we lost two-fifths.
If wo had no slaves, we should have had
twelve Representatives more, according to the
then ratio of representation. Congress appor
tions representation by States, not districts,
and the State apportions by districts.
Many years ago, I moved in the Legislature
that the apportionment of Representatives to
Congress, in Tennessee, should be by qualified
voters. „
The apportoinment is now fixed until 1872,
befdre that time we might change the basis of
represent jtion to qualified voters, North as
South, and, in due course of time, the States,
without regard to color, might extend the
elective franchise to all who possessed certain
mental, moial, or such other qualifications, as
might ba determined by an enlightened pub -
lie judgment.
Boston, Oct , 18, 1865.
The above report was returned to me by
Piesident Johnson with the following indorse
ment. George L. Stearns.
I have read the within communication and
find it substantially correct.
I have made some verbal alterations.

Improvements in Turkey.— The London
Muruicg Post observes that during the four
years the present Sultan has been on the
throne, there has been as great an improve
raen in the financial and material state of
Turkey as the disorganization which presented
itself ou his accession, and the internal wars
in Montenegro and Syria could admit of- The
revenue has increased from under £10.000,000 ;
in 1861 to near £14,000,600,. The deficits ot ;
successive years appears to have been followed |
by a tangible suplus. the figures for 1864 pie i
eenting a sum of £13,684,000 for receipts, and i
the expenditure amounting to £13.395,000.
Nominally, no doubt, the debt of Turkey has
in the meanrime largely increased, but the
fact remains that the bulk of this increase has
been much more apparant than real.

Fimplk Methods of Reducies some Metals.
—Gluconium and zirconium, the former bcii-g
the metallic base of the emerald and the la*ter
that of the zircon and the hyacinth, are metals
of which chemists know very liit'e. They
have hitherto been obtained only from very
raie and costly minerals, and by
from their haloid salts bv means of potassium.
A paper in ‘‘Cosmos’ ' suggests, however, that
these two metals, an I also tho still less known
ones, yttrium, erbium, terbium, cerium, tbor
iumn, lanthanum, and didymium, probably
exists much more abundantly than has hither
to been supposed and states that they ail ad
mit of being isolated by an exceedingly simple
electrolytic method, consisting merely, in each
case, in immersion in a-solution of a salt ,of
the metal which it is desired to reduce a plate
of zinc and a plate of platinum, duly connect
ed together. The metal is then gradually pre
cipitated upon the platinum plate.

their antagonists complete throws, wrestling
fashion, right cn their backs. The women are
described as lithe and agile in the extreme,
and bringing down rounds of applause as their
forms struggled in fascinating and eiegant con
tortions. At length the rounds were complete
and the final heat remained between a colossal
sandy lady and a pretty, neat, and small
brunette, wbo, to the wonder of all present,
flung her big opponent on the back with ease.
The issue was a goiden watch and chain for
the victor.

Message of the I'rovisional Governor of
Florida. —The Sentinel pulbished at Tallahas
see, contains the message of Governor Marvin,
of Florida, which convened on the 25th ult.
We make the following synopsis:
By the operations and results of the late
war, slavery has ceased to exist. The Con
vention should therefore declare that all the
inhabitants ot the State, without distinction of
color are fiee. and that neither slavery nor in
voluntary servitude, except as a- punishment
for crime, shall hereafter exist.
The emancipation of the negro makes it
necessary to define in the Constitution what
his civil rights aud piivileges shall be. The
adoption of such measures as will guarantee
protection in the eDjovment cl all rights of
person and property is recommended. Pro
tection and not political privileges is what the
negro requires in his present condition.
While opposed to any participation of the
negroes in the affair? of government, he strong
ly urges the adinissabiluy of his testimony in
the courts of justice for or against white per
sons, and recommends the passage of an ordi
nance declaring that no person shali be incom
petent as a witness on account of his color in
aDy matter civil or criminal wherever the
State, or the life, liberty or rights of person or
property of any. colored person is concerned.
The report of an ordinance declaring the or
dinance of secession null and void is recom
mended ; and an additional ordinance annul
ing or ratifying such other ordinance and acts
passed during the war as the interest of the*
State requires.
Ventjllation of Sewers.— The effluvia which
escape fiom severs,the very attempt *to
ventilate them, are of a very pernicious char
acter, and have often been productive of mis
chievous effects. M Robioet, a French chem
ist, has devised a very effective means of free
ing the sewers from them. For this purpose
he proposes that the furnaces of factories shall
derive their supply of air from the sewers ; the
latter will thus be emptied of their mephitic
gases, which will be destroyed by combustion,
frtsh air from the atmosphere supplying their
place. He calculates that if the combustion
of only 70,000 tons of coal can be economised
annually iu Paris, or only a tenth part of what
is burned there, the sewers will be supplied
with about 140,000,000 cubic feet of fresh air
—that is, moro than seven times their contents
—daily. He would apply the same principle
to tho ventilation of cesspools, &c. It has been
'partially in use already, on tho grand scale.
A New Mexican Rumor.— The emperor and
empress of Mexico, being childless, are said to
have decided to name the son of Don Angel
Iturbide—the last son of tho Mexican Emperar
Iturbide, who was executed in 1824—as the
presumptive heir to the Mexican throne. The
young man is ready enough to consent to this
arrangement without much difficulty, but his
mother, who is an American lady of great
financial acuteness, refuses her consent, unless
$2,000,000 are deposited in the bank of Eng
land, as a guarantee for the security of her
son’s position and that of the whole family,
including the prospective dowager-empress
The widow of the Emperor Iturbide, after tbe
ejection ot her husband, chose Philadelphia
as her residence, where her children were edu
cated. At least two of them returned to
Mexico within tbe last ftftoen years, the pro
posed succssor to the Mexican throne being
probably tbe son of one of them.
A New Cheating Dodge. —A sqit of clothes
was taken away from a prominent gentleman
of Buffalo the other day, for the reason that
they had been manufactured in Canada, and
brought to ibis side to avoid tho payment in
duty. We are also informed that agencies
have been established across the river at Fort
Erie, and at Windsor, opposite Detroit, repre
senting large houses in Toronto and Hamilton,
for the sale of ready mad: clothing, and to
be furnished by such houses. Avery large
.traffic is carried on along the entire frontier of
this kind of merchandise, and the officers of
the customs will have to keep a sharp look-out
to protect the Government — and our own tail
ors—against these frauds. —Buffalo paper.
Gaiety is tub Mexican Capital. —Two days
after the inauguration of Morello’s statue,
there was a ball at the palace, in which the
rank, fashion, and beauty of Mexican society
shone in all its lustre. Madame Almonte, the
Marquese of Vivaijco, the Baroness of Escan
don, und Marshal Baziine’s wife, were particu
larly noticed. Madame Almonte wore a dre j
of white ormesi, ornamented with knots of
blue satin, and on her head a blue diadem.
The dress of the Marquese of Yivanco was
peach color, of a very delicate tint, with white
blonde and frinco ornaments. She wore a
diamond set with broehe and ear-rings of the
.most magnificent water. On her head was a
and velvet coifuro, embroidered with pearls
red green ribbons which, compose the three
national colors. The costume of the Baroness
f Escandon was magnificent —a beautiful
dress, with a waist of point I’angleterre ; on
her head a suiaii crown of roses covered with
a net sprinkled with gold, two boquets of dia
monds on each side, and sparkles of diamonds
surrounding her culred hair. The necklace
and bracelets were pearls and diamonds
mixed. Her costume was certainly worth half
a million of dollars, and was the richest, of the
evening. Madame La Marecbale Bazaine wore
a Solferiuo-colored dress, and the emerald anl
diamond set presented by the Empress. The
hair drees was formed of an emerald lc zenge,
surrounded with diamonds, but her youth and
beauty were her finest ornament.
Outside of these high personages, crowds ot
beauties had come to charm the delicious
party, to which her Majesty the Empress Char
lotte had invited the flower of Mexican society.
The Masonic fraternity of Columbia, S. C.
has chosen brother Wm. Solomon Sims and
Robt. Burns, as commissioners to represent to
their Northern brethren the distressed and
prostrate condition of Masonic Lodges of Col
umbia, where they were once so numerous,
strong, p weiTui and active. The woiking im
plements of this order have nearly ail been
destroyed by the ruthless hand of war, and the
Lodges generally are in a most helpless condi
tion. The brotheihood in the Northern States,
it is hoped, will extend the band of welcome
to their two eminent members of the fraternity.
Ad*ices from Mississippi, received at the
Freedmen s Bureau, Washington, represent a.i
unsatisfactory Btate ot affairs existing in that
State in relation to the freednfta. Many of
the Courts still refuse the admission of negro
evidence, notwithstanding the proclamation of
the and evince an intention to
evade every way possible the rights of the
fieedmen. Teacheis for the freedmen, sent
out by Northern benevolent societies, are leav

troops.

The irregularity and unsettled condition o
the provision market noticed in my last, has
continued during the past week. Barrelled
meats advanced while bulk and bacon meats
declined. The stock of the latter seems ade
quate to the demand, yet tire price of all tbe
hog product now is much le s than it can be
made, taking tbe present prices being paid for
hogs as a criterion.
Mess pork advanced from 30 to 34c. during
the week, but clpses very dull at 33c. with
plenty of sellers and no buyers. Perhaps $1
per barrel advance would be accepted to-day
if offered ; yet at the prices now bolng paid
for Logs it cannot be made under $36 50, and
there is no consistaucy in th* difference now
made as between the price of hogs and the
product now on hand : Prime mess is still
neglected-aud prices are nominal at S2B. Bumps
quiet at $lB to 24 as in quality.
Lakd —the stock of old is light, consisting
principally of country rather dark in color, and
