Gabrifon Removed. —A friend informs u 8 that, the gar. ison, which was at Thomaston, Georgia, composed of a detatchment of the one hundred and seventy eighth Ohio, has Leen cemoved. The freediacn in that section of country are behaving admirably, and are freely making contracts with their former masters. Unlike the majority of this class, the negrce3 there' abouts rucognizr the true issue and benefits of freedom, as wrapped up ia honest toil. They are quietly at work, neithir exerciser] by a dr sire lor, nor disturbed by fears of a denial of the right of suffrage. This is the true policy, and thousands of their friends would do well to follow their ex ample It tho freedmen all over the country would do as th ose at Thomaston have done, they would speedily and surely reap the fruits of their relationship--happiness. Let them close their ears to the advice of pretended rbnds, who would hallucinato them with gorgeonsly painted pictures of the imagination —the chief characters of which are abandoned lands, the olectivo franchise and social equali ty. Where their proper sphere is, we are fully persuaded. In that sphe're they will be happy; out of it, m’serable ! Enough, how ever, has been said on this topic. The health of Thomaston is generally good— there beiug but a few cases of small pox in the place. 'I he planters arc busy making preparation for this year’s crops. An extraordinary large cotton crop ia predicted. Oilier produce will be in proportion. ATkrhiblkSciikb. —An English paper gives the annexed graphic account of the foundering in the Bay of Biscay, of Steamship London. She had on board 270 souls. The survivors sixteen ot the crew and three passengers —wire landed at Falmouth, January 10 : “It wan at 10 o’clock ou the morning of that fatal Thursday that Captain Martin had the terrible task of making known to the 200 pas sengi is that the ship was 'sinking, and that they must prepare for the worst. She was thm ns low in the water as the main chains. The whole of tho passengers and crew gath ered. ns with one consent, in tho chief sdoon, and having been calmly told by Capt. Martin that there was no hope left, a remarkable and unanimous spirit of resignation came over them at. once. There was no screaming or shrieking by women or men, no rushing on deck, or frantic cries. All calmly resorted to the saloon, whero Itov. Mr. Draper, one of the passengers, prayed aloud, and exhorted the unhappy creatures by whom he was surround ed. I)u-uiav was present to every *heait, but disorder to none. Mothers weepiug sadly over the tittle ones about with them to be engulfed, und tho children, ignorant of their coming death, were pitifully inquiring tho cause of so much woe. Friends were taking leave of friends, as it preparing for u long journey; others were crouched down with Bibbs in their bands, endeavoring to snatch consolation from pa sages long known or long neglected. In oredibio, we are told, wa3 the composure which, under such circumstances, reigned around. Capt. Martin stationed himself ia tho poop, going occasionally forward or into the saloon; hut to none could he offer a word of comfort by telling them that their safety was even probable. He joined now and then for a few moments in the public devotions, but his place to tire Inst was on the deck. About 2 o’clock in tho afternoon, tho wator gaining fast on tiio ship and no signs of tho storm suhsid ing being apparent, a small band of men de termined to trust themselves to the mercy of the waves in u boat rather than go down with out a struggle. Leaving the saloon, therefore, they got out and lowertd away the port cutter, into which sixteen of the crew and three of tho passengers succeeded in getting and in launching her clear of the ship. These nineteen men shouted for the captain to come with them, but with that heroic cour age which wits his chief characteristic, he de clined to go with them, saying : No, I will go down with tie passengers ; but I wish you God speed aud safe to land. The boat then pulled away, tossing about helplessly on the crests of the gigantic waves. Scarcely had th«y gone eighty yards, or been five minutes off tire deck, when tho tine steamer went down stein foremost with her.crew of human beings, from whom one confessed cry of helpless ter ror tiros \ and all was silent for ever. Alter the pinnace had got away from the London, and in the brief interval before she foundered, a rush was seen to bo made for the two remaining boats, but the efforts lo launch them were in* ffectual, and the suddenness of the foundering at last—the London being an iron ship—prevented what might have been a successful second attempt to save a few more lives.

Fessenden called up the j oint resolution from the Committee on reconstruction proposing a constitutional amendment, bteing represen tation upon population, and excluding from representation all persons denied the right of suffrage, on account of color. Sumner spoke in opposition and offered a substitute declaring that all persons shall be equal before the law in both civil and political rights. He occupied the attention of tho Senate during the entire day. Ho contended for the perfect political and civil equalities of all men. He will not conclude his speech until to morrow. In the nouse an amendment to the rules was offered and laid on the table setting apart one day in each veek for the consideration of pub lie business, to l>3 called “white man’s day.” A resolutions wa3 offered instructing the Committee on reconstruction to inquire into the expediency of levying a tis* on tho re bellious States in order to defray the expenses of keeping up a standing army among them to keep peace. The House resumed the consideration of the bill extending the powers of the freedman’s bureau. An amendment was adopted that its operations be confined to those States where the writ of Hebeas Corpus is suspended. Washimotox, February 7.

IHR LATENT LIVERPOOL COiTON CIRCULAR. Messrs. Lockhart & Dempster, of Liverpool, issue the annexed circular in regard to the state of the English cotton market. Liverpool, January 19. During the past week the market has been unfavorably influenced by the large arrivals of the raw material from ail parts ot the world, the dullness of trade in Manchester, and the still unsatisfactory position of the money mar ket. Much ot the cotton at present coming in especially from the East, leaves a handsome profit to the importers at current prices, and, > as there is every prospect of the supplies, for some time, being large, these holders are nat urally anxious to realize, fearing that the steadily increasing stock, daring the next few weeks, may force prices down to a point con siderably bei-w their present level. This 'pressure to sell was, iu lire early paU of the week, further aggravated by the indifferent accounts received from the manufacturing dis tricts. Spinners find it impossible to dispose of their yarns, except at reduced rates Thus, the fear of diminished consumption was added to that ot increased supplies; aid these, to gether with the still unc.rtain state of the money market, caused considerable depression, sellers having to submit to a decline of id’, per lb, for both American and Erst India fie sciiptions, Yesterday there was a marked change in the tone of the market : Money was reported to be easier, and a feeling of confi dence sprang up both here and in Manchester. To day the improvement has been well main tamed, and we close firm at about the quota tions of this day week for American descrip tions, Egyptiau and East India being 4d to id. lower. 1 3 Sea Islands have been very little inquired for, and prices have been barely maintained ; present stock, about 7400 bales. A fair amount of business has been done in cotton “to arrive,” and we quote for Mid Orleans ship named, 19Ji. per pound, and for January’ February, or March shipments from the Gulf ports, 19jjd, per for Liverpool mid dling. Tne total sales for the week are 56, 890 bales, including 28,600 bales American, of which 39,300 bales are to the trade, 3340 to speculators, and 14,250 for export’ Imports for the week, 70,191 bales, including 34,329 bales American. Increase of stock, 25,510 bales. The Manchester market, as noted above, has been dull, and spiuners have had to sub mit to a decline of £d. to £d, per pound in all descriptions of yams. Yesterday there was some improvement, and to-day there has been more doing at rather better prices than could have been obtained in tho beginning of the week. e The money market shows signs of improve ment. The Bank of Engfand return, made up to last night, indicates an increase of bulion in the Bank amounting to £144,005, and the other items in the accounts are generally fa vorable. Liverpool, January 20. The cotton market is very fiim to-day, with full prices paid, especially for American des criptions. Sales, 10,000 bales, including 3000 on speculation and for export. BUT I dfc FOSTAR SCOTrO.n CIRCULAR. Annexed we publish the cotton circular of Messrs. Butt & Foster, of Mobile. These gen- tlemen have made the closeit researches in regard to the matter they treat of and their figures may be relied,upon as correct. Reliable infoimation of this kind is what our people now want. Here is the document referred to : There are so many contingencies to be con sidered which might arise to affect prices of cottan mateiialiy. ior which we have no pre cedent ia tho past, of which amongst the first in importance, now involved in utter obscuri ty, is the satisfactory solution of the free labor question, the fl elutions of our'currency, dear ness of money abroad, &c., &e., that we should bo unwilling to commit ouiselves ex cept as to the probable course of the market, predicated only on the general ground of sup ply and demand. Taking these alone into the calculation, with the opinion we entertain of the unreliability of our present syitem of labor for tile future cultivatiou of our cotton fields, it seems to us prices must advance as tho year progresses, notwithstanding the large receipts to date and comparatively heavy stocks thrust upon the markets at home and abroad, may have the effect to depress the sta ple temporarily. With low stocks of goods everywhere and active demand and the largely remunerative prices realized by manufacturers, there is every incentive to stimulate consump tion. Availing ourselves of the dato furnished by the annual circulais of leading commercial houses in Liverpool, with yliom we are regu larly corresponding, we have collated the fol lowing tables, which may prove interesting, and which, we think, In the main may be re lied upon as correct. The most general estimate for the supply of cotton from the United States, from the old crop and the new, from the overthrow of the Confederacy up to Ist September, 1866, may bo put down at '....8a1e5, 2,000,000 Os this the home con sumption will i probably take .. 800,000 And estimating stocks at all the ports in the U. S. Ist September next at 100,000— 906,000 Would leave for Export to Europe 1,100,000 The reeipt in ike English ports up to Ist Jauuary, 1866, were : 462,000 Leaving for shipment to Europe in 1866 638,000 Stocks in Great Britain 31st December, 1865 405,000 Probable receipts from oth- «- er countries 2,000,000 And probable recipts from United States of crop 1865 -1866, up to 31st Decem ber, 1866, 106,000 Would give Europe a total supply in 1866, 8,143,000 The average weekly con sumption in Great Britain prior to the war for ffve years, from 1856 to 1860, inclusive was 43,500 The weekly Exports from Great Britain in 1865 was 16,000 The average stock in Great Britain at the close of the . years 1862, 1863, 1864 and 1865, was 435,616 Now assuming that the weekly consumption in Great Britain during this year will he 40,000 And the weekly Exports tbis yeai will equal that cf 1865 16,000 Would give a total for con sumption and exports per week ot 56,000 bales, or „ for the 12 months of 1866. 2,912,000 Leaving for stock in all the English markets 231,000 Or over 200,000 bales less than the average of tne stock at the close of either of the proceed ing four years, during which the average im portation of American cotton was 216,025 bales per year. This would ho the probabie result unless the enhancement of piicees—which we think the figures indicate will take U ac - —occurred to prevent a complete an absorption of the stock of raw material, by curtailing the demand. In our calculation we have made no allowance for cotton burned and lost at sea—a material decrease in the weights of a large quantity of cotton shipped—and exportations from this country to other countries than England, giv ing the latter the benifit of our entire exports, which will all go to diminish the quantify al lotted to Great Britain. We will add to the above that other things should also be taken into consideration. When the cotton question is looked into, it is very evident to all who have watched matters, that the weekly consumption will exceed the aver age of the four past years at least ten per cent. It also should-be recollected that many base their figures upon the supposition that all the cotton in the South at present is in a good con dition. This is not so. A great deal of the staple is in a damaged condition—not having been properly cared for during the war. Many are of the opinion that cotton will still continue to decline. We think otherwise. We believe that the price will be higher a month hence than it is now: CHICAGO MARKET. Caicago, February 7. Flour—ls unchanged. Wheat— No. 1 spring is lower. Corn —ls qniet, and lower.
