SPEECHES AND CoRRKSPON DENTS.-
. We are overwhelmed by speeches and
g eoiuiminieations on the subject of “relief"
both for and against. We have published
the speech of Mr. Jackson, on the subject,
and will lay before our readers in to
morrow’s issue a communication from a
distinguished citizen of Middle Georgia.
We expect to close the matter there. Wo
cannot undertake to publish all both pro
and eon that may be said upon the subject.
In our judgment, the advocates and oppo
nents would better attain their objects by
presenting their views in memorials to the
Legislature, which is to act upon the mat
ter, than by a prolonged discussion in the
newspapers.
A Card,
Nuw York, November 29.
To lolitor.s and Agents:
The retirement of the Chicago Tribune
and Cincinnati Commercial from the Asso
ciated Press of New York is a subject of
much conversation. Mr. Craig has made
a statement which is so untrue that it is
well to state truth. The committee of tho
We tern Press made certain propositions
to the New York Press, which looked to a
di crimination between the newspapers of
Chicago, St. Louis and Cincinnati against
tin; new papers of other cities in the West.
As the Associated Press could not entertain
such propositions, and, above al! things,
could not discriminate between newspa
pers in large cities and in small ones, these
propositions were not considered. A reso
lution was then adopted that the Asso
ciated Press would not hold any relation
with newspapers which patronized an or
ganization started to subvert it, and head
ed bya man who lmd been dismissed from
its service for Infidelity and porfidy.
Messrs. Holstead and White declined to
be bound by this resolution, which was
merely reaffirming a cardinal principle of
the Association; and the organization they
represented was accordingly dismissed
from nil the privileges of our news. The
policy of tho Associated Press is fixed; its
organization lias lasted for nearly twenty
years, and has been built up by the ex
pendit ureof many hundreds of thousands.
To abandon all these advantages would
place tho American press at tho mercy of
a mere adventurer and speculator. It will
do everything to make its news perfect, but
it will enter into no negotiations with
newspapers or organizations of newspa
pers which do not accept tho obligations
which control the journals in Now York.

now being sold at less price than for the

Several said we might rely on the town and
valley subscribing iiom $200,000 to $250,-
000.
From Tuseumbia I went to Memphis
and Ixmisville. Each of their Chambers
of Commerce passed resolutions unani

Treasury Department, )
Office of Internal Revenue, -
Washington, Nov. 13, 1866. ]
| Sin :—lnformation which lias reached
' this office, from various parts of the coun
try, leads me to instruct the revenue
j officers of the districts whence cotton is
j transported follows :
The additional regulations in relation to
i the transportation of cotton, dated Oct.
i 22d, 1866, are to be made operative in all
districts, those which are large and
{ sparsely settled, or otherwise.
Internal revenue officers in such districts
! are expected to afford all lawful facilities to
the easy movement of cotton, so long as
the col lection ofthe tax on the same is pro
: t ided for in a manner satisfactory to this
office. It is not necessary that a revenue
j officer should actually see the bales for the
transportation of which a permit is given,
j On tho other hand, in case any bales are
i found in transportation from your district
' not answering the description ina permit,
I such bales are liable to seizure, and you are
expected to exercise this power, so far as
is necessary for the protection of the reve
nue against fraud.
Revenue officers in districts where eot
t ton is transported without payment of tax,
j wil! receive no commission on the tax on
such cotton, unless it is accompanied in its
transportation by permits showing that it
was transported thence.
Very respectfully,
Thomas Harland.

Ttic Tribune and tbe Associated Dress. j
New York, November 29. —The Trdame
has an editorial on the Associated Press,
which contains the followin'.': Mr. Craig
was dismissed from our sendee for endea
voring, while receiving pay from the New
York Associated Press, to subvert it and
make anew organization which would
make him the arbiter of news in America,
with power to print or keep and use as he
pleased in commercial operations, and give
it to the press when he thought proper.
He would become the renter of news in
America , lie avowed all bis plans and they
were discovered. He was instantly, unani
mously, and ignominiously discharged
from our service, and every journal voting
for it and very much as any private gentle
men of the press would have dismissed a
servant, who had been found with the
family spoons in his pocket. There was
no objection to Mr. Craig selling news any
more than to his selling cheese, but we did
object to bis seizing tbe machinery, which
cost us such vast sums of money, and as
journalists, not insensible, we liopa to the
dignity and enterprise of journalism, we did
not care to place ourselves at the mercy of
a renter to get the news when he pleased,
and give it to us when it suited his
good pleasure. Anew Agent was se
lected and everything went on smoothly.
Newspapers and organizations of newspa
pers, who publish our news, have been
approached by hint with offers of better,
news at lower prices. Some of them have
conic to the Associated Press and asked
that wo enter into competition with Mr.
Craig, and allow them to buy our news and
his, or either, as they deem best. An or
ganization known as the Western Asso
ciated Press sent, ps a committee composed
of Mr. White, ofthe Chicago Tribune , and
Mr. Holstead, ofthe Cincinnati Commer
cial. We had interviews. They made
certain propositions. We were willing to
consider them, and make the best arrange
ments possible for tho Western press. But
the policy of this committee seems to be to
serve the leading papers of Chicago, Cin
cinnati and St. Louis—papers with large
circulation and resources—at the expense
of newspapers in smaller cities like India
napolis, Cleveland and Detroit. As it is,
the Western press make Indianapolis pay
as much as Chicago, although the newspa
pers in Chicago tire more numerous and
more wealthy. The Associated Press of
New York could not adopt a discriminating
policy. It could uot contribute to build up
the Chicago Tribune against the Indian- ;
apolis Journal, for instance ; or the Cincin
nati Commercial against the Detroit
Post. We certain’y ibund no pecuni
ary motive to do this, in tlie fact
that the Chicago Tribune was per- ]
mitted to have all of our news for |
about seventy dollars a week, accordingly
the propositions of this Committee were
not considered, and when they stated that
they would take our news, but at the same
time uso that of Mr. Craig, nothing was
left but to dismiss them from the Associ
ated Press, and they were dismissed. The
Western newspapers have now to elect
whether they will remain with us or make
anew engagement; whether they will sus
tain the policy of this Committee or one
more liberal and just. There is no discus
sion, no controversy. 1 four brothers in the
West, cr, indeed, anywhere, can purchase
news more cheaply than wc can, let them
do it. and ipay they prosper. But the
New York Associated Press is a fact; it
stands, and will stand whether journals out
of New York accept its news or not. The
one thing is certain, that not being a shop
to sell news—not being in the news business
as a matter of profit—we ask no one to
eoiue to us, and wc shall have no compe
tition with Mr. Craig. Those who go to
him must stop with him, and may he give
them more comfort and less vexation than
lie gave us. Those who remain with us
will be served as well as wc arc served our
| selves.
I Anxiety to hear from tlie Fenian Insur
rection in Ireland.
New York, November 29. — The anxic- j
ty to hear from the Fenian insurrection in j
j Ireland, is very great. The very meagre j
; and unsatisfactory telegrams purporting to 1
have come over the cable, give rise to the j
belief that the English Government is exer- j
vising a censorship over the Atlantic Tele- j
graph, or that the sensation news is manu- J
factured by interested parties in the city. ;
Arms and officers are known to havn been i
sent to Ireland from this city. One regi
ment of State militia has furnished one ;
hundred and fifty men as officers, and a
large accession is expected from the British
army.

Washington, November 29 —Very few
members of Congress have yet made their
appearance in Washington. The Radical
' committees, having in charge the pro
posed mass welcome, have, inconsequence
of their delay in reaching tbe city, post
poned the demonstration until Monday
next. It was intended to have been given
on Saturday, the Ist of Demcembcr.
It is stated that General Garfield, mem
ber of Congress of Ohio, proposes, on the
first day of the next session, to give notice
I of a bill providing for the assembling of
the Fortieth Congress on the sth day of
March next, the day following the adjourn
j mint of the present Congress. Any such

Tile Mexican Imbroglio.
Washington November 29, p. m. —The
Republican of this morning states that
there is not only no authority whatever for
the crossing of our military forces on the
Rio Grande, but a positive order against'
such a movement, arid, in connection there
with. says if it should prove true, General
Sedgwick will have violated orders, and
will be forthwith relieved front duty and
ordered under arrest.
Although no formal official communica
tion has been made to this Government,
there is no doubt that information has been
verbally furnished of Napoleon’s intention
to remove the French troops from Mexico
at the earliest practicable time, the ar
rangements for that purpose now being in
progress. The reason why the first de
tachment of’ one-third of the troops were
net embarked in November, according to
tbe Emperor’s own programme, is that the
other two-thirds might have been seriously
damaged by the Liberals who were persist
ently pressing them. To obviate such a
remit, it was deemed more prudent to re
move them all at once. There is no doubt
this will be done.
Much speculation has been indulged as to
the actual business ofLcut. Gen. Sherman,
in accompanying Minister Campbell to
Mexico, but the truth is he was designated
as an adviser to that gentleman, both as
regards diplomatic affairs in Mexico, and
as to military movements on the frontier.
Should any new emergency arise as to re
quire anew disposition of troops—but since
the reception ofthe Emperor’s intentions
with regard to the removal of his army, it
is not supposed that such a necessity wall
occur. The last news received by the Gov
ernment respecting maximilian is that he
was at Arizova, the French officials refusing
to leave -Mexico unless lie formally resigned
his crown.

Fredericksburg railroad. This road sus
pended operations, and the road left un
reconstructed for want of means. It was
decided that the road was a necessary
artery connecting the business of the
South with that of the North.
Sufficient energy is evinced to complete
the road by putting it in. the hands of cner
getie contractors who will push it to a ter
mination. The stock of this road was
taken by parties living along tho line
of the road. Many of whom pledge their j
farm houses, cattle and horses for the re- j
deption of any expenses incurred in the j
construction.
Congressmen in tlie City.
-V very large number of Congressmen
arrived here to-night. Altogether there
are about thirty Senators and seventy Rep
resentatives in this city. There seems no
doubt about a quorum in both Ilou.-es on
Monday. •>
So far as can be ascertained by conver
sation the idea of introducing articles of
! impeachment against, the President finds
; little if any favor. It is said that the
message of the President will be about the
i same as that of last year, and will occupy
about an hour in reading.

i examination was had at the Tombs Police
i Court, New York, on Monday, in tho case

; and W. R. Babcock, charged with being
| concerned in the Lord bond robbery. The

t The drift of his evidence was such as to
rather implicate some of the detectives
j engaged to “work-up the case, not, in

I practices that look like a compromise with

June, Heath and Jones, two Boston offi
cers. were paid SB,OOO for t “ elr share in
hunting up the notorious “Hod Annie.”
Since then nothing more has been heard of
the Boston detectives, nor does it appear
what Wescott. the Deputy United States

The following, from tho New York Jour
nal of Commerce, in reference to tho cotton
crop will interest our readers :—“Weliave
received the criticisms of ‘A Planter’ upon
the circulars of Messrs. Neil Bros, it Cos.,
and have also at hand many other docu
ments representing all the various inter
ests connected with the cotton question.
We believe in the good faith of most of (ho
writers, whichever side they take, but a
man may bo honest and still mistaken.
There are many who insist lliat the cotton
crop in the United States cannot exceed
one million, or at most one and a quarter
million bales. A few will admit the pos
sibility of one and a half millions ; some
look for two to two and a quarter millions,
while a few very' sanguine people are
prophesying a yield of two and a half mil
tions. Our own opinion is not worth much
in tlio premises, but we have published all
tho data to hand that bears directly on the
question, and do not think any useful
purpose would bo served, at present, by
repeating estimates, however ingenious
ly presented, upon anonymous authority.
Tho weight of any individual name, if the
writer were well known, would have some
influence, perhaps, with the public; but. es
timates given without signature in the
columns of a newspaper have much less
weight than is generally supposed. After a
careful comparison of views with many
others, in all parts of the country, wo have '
concluded that.’the crop isas likely to reach
two million bales as to fall short of it; but j
we see nothing in such a view likely’to
“bring famine to a Southern door,” or to 1
“grind t ho last shilling out of tho planter.”
The price of cotton, even with such a yield,
is likely to be fully up to any reasonable
expectation, and will make a better ave
rage, if tho deficiencies are not exaggerated,
than it would if the short crop theorists
were the only ones who had llie public
ear ’'
