Governor Berry’s message was read in the *; talc Legislature, October,26. Jle qays, though his appointment was made several months after tba! of toe other Provisional Governors, South Carolina now is as far advanced In the plan of reconstruction as any other State. By restoring those who were In civil office at the suspension civil government, he greatly expedite 1 tho reconstruction. Thiß measure v. as objected to by the military authorities, but he was sustained by President Johnson to whom will bo assigned in history the glory of having reconstructed the broken and dis mantled fragments of tbe Republic, without marring its civic beauties. lie alludes to the now constitution as popu lar and democratic, inspiring the people with more zeal and om rgy in developing the talent and resources of the State, 110 recommends fostering inter n and improvements, commerce and manufactures, and tho encouragement of foreign emigration. The State should not be dependent, i heretofore, on tho Western States for horses, mules cattle, hogs, bacon, laid and beef, nor on the Northern States for tuiniturc, agricultural implements and clothes. They should raise, grow and make everything themselves. Now that sluvery is abolished, labor i.mado more honorable, as well as more necessary. Voting men must become trades men, manufactures, and mechanics Their Northern friends must be invited to come aptong them. Immediate provision must be made for the probative government of .the freedmen. This it is expected will bo attended to by the Presi dent and Congress, and such measures should • bo adopted as to renfovo all pret< xt for milita ry rule. Tho electors for President and Vice Presi dent of tbe United States should be chosen by the people. An early day should be fixed for tho election of members of Congress. Should those members elected be iu Washington, with their credentials when the clerk calls the roll, they < annot be excluded any more than those from Massachusetts. No man in South Caro lina can take the test oath without perjury. It is not the pulley of I lie President to enforce this, and he believes it will not be the policy of Congress. An eiectkm. is necessary for two United Stales Senators ; one tor six years from the 3d of March last, and one from tho unexpired term to March 1867. lie recommends tho is suing o i otai.e bonds, selling them to pay the ISCato debt, Fo’as to avoid the present taxation. Tho reorganisation of the rniiitiu is urged, the Secretary of State, at Washington, having giv en assurances that ns soon as the State Govern ment is organized, all the troops will bo with drawn. Ho recommouds tho re-establishment of tbe South Carolina College on the universal sys tem, and the reopening of the Citadel Acade my Schools for cadets. Ho opposes any act looking to a repudiation of tho State debt, lie recommends an exchange of public docu ments with ai! the sister States. He says he has been info- i6d by the Postmaster General that tbe mailt ill be carried overall the rail roads as soon the department is assured of tbe responsibility of the ageuts. In conclu sion, he asked them to look only to the future and not to the past. A message to the Legislature from Governor Perry, October 27, a report to prepare a system of laws adapted to the new stale of a I lairs has been received. The report embraces u. bill regulating the domestic regu lations of sliwos, and a code for the regulation of labor and for the protection and govern ment of the colored people of the State There were ordered to be printed, and will bo considered at once. Resolutions were adopted appointing a com mittee to collect, under oath, all evidence of unwarrantable seizures ol cotton and other private property since the war, to bo laid be- Joro the President of the United States. The loth of November was fixed for the election of members of Congress. Gen. Howard, Commissioner of treedmen’s atlairs, October 18tli, iu an address explanatory of the objects ot the freed men’s' bureau, and his present visit to the South, delivered in the presence of Mayor Macbeth, Common* Council and citizens of Charleston, made some 'an nouncements ot importance. The General spoke of the hostile feeling towards the bureau iu Charleston, and tiio.Mayor acknowledged it and said he had no hopes lor the country un til c ivil law was completly restored. The Gen eral said that was the clamor of politicians, but he had generally found the planters fa vorable to the continuance of the bureau’s su perintendence of affairs. He, himself, as well ns tho President, wished that civil law should bo again untramelled. But the negroes having lost the protection of their masters need some guarantee for tho safety of their interests, and uutil tho State allowed freedmen to testify in her Courts, he was free to say the bureau would continue. The President, he stated, would be very clear of surrendering the State to civil law until a stop was put to outrages on the blacks. The General gnve*encouraging replies to those planters who are seeking the restora tion of their property, and said that he hoped to sec wholesome laws guaranteeing tbe rights of freedmen passed by legislation, and the present difficulties between the two races set tled. He aim ouced his purpose of establish ing courts to consist of an airny officer and t wo citiaens to take cognizance, for the present, of complaints by or against tho colored people. Gen. Howard subsequently addressed the ne groes along the coast, and then took his de parture for the State capilol to confer with Gov. Perry. General Bennett, commanding District of Charleston, has issued an order directing the military to surrender to the civil tribunals, where tho officers of tbe latter are duly quali fied, the adjudication of all legal matters ex cepting such as relate to the property in pos session ot the uatiunal Government aDd in whien negroes are interested. lhe South Carolina Legislature, lately elected, assembled iu extra session, October 25th. Browxlow’s Sdkcial Message.—Got. Rrown low has sent a special messsge-to the Tennes see Legislature, recommending that the rail roads be not forced t*» pay the interest on the debt due tLem from the State and to their creditors at this time ; that they have not the money wherewith to pay, and that most of the roads will pass into the hands of receivers unless the State provides some means to p»y the interest due upcu endorsed bonds. If the {State sutlers those roads to be sold, they, would he purchased by a combination of speculate*s from abroad, who will manage them for their own buuetit, without any re gard for honest and public spirited people who built them. They would seli for less than half their own value, and Anally leave the State, to pay the bonds, of a larger part of them, which result is ihe most that can happen to the State, D the roads are in the hands ot the companies. Gin- Howard's Addshs is Savannah - G.-n llowar.’ the head of the Preedmen’s Bureau delivered an address iu .Savannah, on Thursday evening. We find the annexed substances of his remarks in the Savannah Heiuld . Tbe General commenced by saying that he has been assigned to the responsible position he occupied by the President, to superintend the- development anil execution of the policy adopted by the Federal Government with reference to the Freedmen, and to relieve, as far as practicable, the Shock that must neces sarily follow the sudden emancipation ol the slaves, which comprehend in its range tbe management cf thjs abandoned land*, the education, aa far as practicable, of the colored children, and the relief of those whose actual necessities demand it of the Government. With regard to the question of labor, he in fonmd them that the Government had set them free forever, but it had not stopped work. Formerly they did not receive the earnings of their labor, these were now secured to them. Heretofore they had families from whom they wero often separated, this vould never be again. He urged them to provide for their families, not only to feed and clothe them but to educate them. As many of them was re fusing to make labor contracts lor tho ensuing year under the vague notion that the Govern ment would do something tor them, ho earn estly desired them to disabuse tbe’r minis in this particular, also sand lmnce tbe necessity for their maktog contracts with tho owners of the lands and stick to them in good faith. When the contract waß made they were to understand that the employer was entitled to all their labor, and lor which they should he paid fair and liberal wages He notified them that the military would, In all probability, soon be removed, and that they must then look to the white residents tor counsel and protection, until laws w re passed securing them the full enjoyment of all their rights as freemen He assured them that be did not believe that the great mass of the Southern people were unfriendly to them, but that they were prepared to trust them, kindly .and honestly if the colored people would meet them half way. He did not believe that tho whites had the least desire to oppress them, and he urged them to et ry in tbe neighborhood where they were, and to show by their good conduct, and habits o? industry that they were worthy of their freedom. He advised them strenuously not to resort to the cities, as they could not support themselves there, and would suffer for the necessary comforts of life. With regard to tho abandoned lands of Georgia, ho remarked that thi Government had determined to restore them to their owners, as they were pardoned by the Exequ tive of the nation. That it would bo unjust in the Government to confiscate these lands lying generally on the coast, when the people of the interior, who had been equally rebel lious, wero not treated In like manner. That, equality in tho dispensation of justice should be observed throughout the South, without re ference to locality or color, when there were no lpgal impediments in the way. If they wSnted land they must go to work in good earnest,, Bave money, snd make required purchases in a' regular way He knew ot a colored man who had, by his own honest industry, accumulated $15,000 in the last four years. Alluding to the subject of education, he assured them that much had betn done, and much more would be accomplished by both Northern and Southern Committees for the education of colored children, and that they must be ambitious to do all in their power in the same direction—that iu order to enjoy tho blessings of freedom and make good citiams they must be improved by education. Touching the matter of relief in various ways heretofore granted by the he stated emphatically that he had been in structed by the War Department to grant re lief in future to such only as ware entirely un able to help themselves. All others must, pro vide for themselves bv action and fhrittv labor Gbn. Howard and tub Freedmen. —General Howard, the head of the Freedmeu’s Bureau, lately addressed the colored people at Wil mington. According to a report in the papers of that city he urged upon to be virtuous, truth ful and industrious, mindful of the oblig tions of the marriage contract, and polite to their former masters as well as to each other. They were intormed that their freedom was ac knowledged by the State Conventiou nqwiu ses sion, and that it remained with them to prove whether they wore worthy to enjoy this great boon. The General did not touch on the sufFrage question, hut advised, as the best course to arrive at political equality, a life of labor, striving at the samo time to educate and en lighten themselves and their children: that education alone would fit them to enjoy these privileges, He then spolio of the objects of tho Bureau, of which he was Chief ; that it was not intend ed to support them in idleness, but that it was established to assist them in transition from slavery to freedom,' and that those who wore purposely idle, relying upon the assist tanoe of tho Bureau would be awfully dis appointed. 'lho General also spoke of the great impor tance of harmony and good feeling existing be tween the races, and remarked that when this was effected tho Bureau would be abolished. ” The Fenian Movement in Canada.— Letter writers from Canada state that the members of the Provisional Government and their sup porters in Canada are in a 6tate of great ag itation in regard to the Fenian movement. Fenian organizations had beeu known to exist thero for years, but has occasioned but little concern until the occurrence of recent events. The government have, it is said, organized and distributed throughout the province, a force of spies. Great activity is reported to prevail in mili tary affairs, changes in the disposition of troops being made, garrisons strengthened in regions where Irish predominate, Investigation ot the loyalty of officers and soldiers boing in stituted, and arms being distributed for the use cf citizens known to oppose Kenian designs. The custom author ities are nervous over the recent large Importation of ammunition, which is believed will ultimately find its way into the bauds of the Fenians. It is thought by many of the prominent Canadian officials that the present movement iu Ireland is merely a ruse, and the grand de sign, when England has thrown troops into Ireland the troops of tho order in this country shall seise Canada, declare it an independent State and place it under the protection of the United States An Elastic Railroad Wheel.—Among the curiosities of the Exhibition at Faneuil Hall, Boston, is an elastic raiiroad wheel. The necessity for a wheel of this character has long been felt, but only one endeavor in this direc tion has been sncesaful. It is the invention of Mr. G. S. Griggs, who for thirty years has been the Master Mechanic of the Boston & Provi dence Railroad Company. The invention con sists in interposing between tho wheel and the tire, blocks ot seasoned oak or hickory, and so effectual is this method found to be, that the tires may be put on without heating, and will run twice as long without repair as the ordinary kind. The wear and tear of the rails also is correspondingly less ; in short, the principle Is analogous to the cartilages in the human system. These wheels have been used on all the locomotives of the Boston & Providence Railroad, and so far they have per formed double the set vice usually obtained from tires of the same manufacture. They are also used on thirty other railroads with like success. The London Engineer has men tioned this as superior in all respects: and we can hardly err in calling the attention of all railroad men to the subject. Au insurrection has broke out among the negroes in Jamaica. The English Consul Gen eral at Havana had applied to the Court Gov ernment of Cuba for a force to put down the insurrection.

Adi ices from Mississippi, received at the Freedman’s Bureau, Washington, represent an unsatisfactory state ot affairs'existing in that State in relation to the freedmen.
