Cluoniclf & £>' mtiufl WBMIMAI MORNING, MARCH 21. Military Commaniier ok the Third District.—“ General John D. Pope,” f, a ys one of our Alabama exchanges, “has al ways borne the reputation of a clever gentleman of conservative views; and we believe that his appointment to the m.li tarv command of this District will lx, a source of great relief to the people. “General Pope was born in Illinois about 1“--, but appointed a cadet from Kentucky; graduated at West Point In the Corps of Topographical Engineers; brevetted first beutenuut and captain for gallant conduct at Monterey and Buena Vista; captain in l'* l , colonel in June, lsi], and Brigadier General of volunteers in July, 1X01; com manded in Missouri in February, In>2; captured New Madrid and aided in the capture of Island 10; commanded the ad vauce at Corinth ; placed in command in A irginia, and conducted the campaign against the Indians.” Searching FOR the Mexican Govern ment. -.Minister Campbell has returned to New Orleans, where ho contemplates making the necessary arrangements fora renewal of the search for the itinerant gov ernment of the Mexican Republic. On the first llai-h of intelligence announcing the whereabouts of Juarez, Minister Campbell will enter Mexico in pursuit of what lias thus far proved to him un ignis fatuus. It is. to bo hoped thal he will meet with let ter success this time, and be able to give us a more satisfactory report of his mission. ‘ The Hear Opened and Closed ada in.”— The Hanlons are about the most sLiilfui gymnastic performers we ever saw, but there ure some editors in Georgia who can beat them “all hollow.” Hie paper that kept the rear of the (Lite City open, closed it up a sow week* since, with a spread eagie fiourisli of trumpets about standing by the greatest living de fender of the Constitution until the “last plunk, was broken to pieces,” and then the paper in question was to be in the last ditch with tlio rear closed up. But “a change lias come over the spirit of our dreams 1 in the brief space of a few days, and the aforesaid paper fell from its high sounding adjectives, again opened it* rear for the Sherman, Sliellabarger, and Ste ven- programme, and is now giving “its weighty and consistent support” to that measure, having abandoned the “great defender ol the Constitution, whom it was goingtoHiistain through fire, and -*— water. But, alas !we livo in a New JCra. “'Gil consistency thou art a jewel !” A New Use for Calomel. —The Charleston Ncw» says: “Under this head wo see in a large number of our exchanges • hat a gentleman in Saratoga county, New V ork, has lately ‘doctored’ a sickly apple tree, with most excellent results, by boring a hole in the body of the tree and inserting a fuw grains of calomel into it, and we no tice it because this same experiment we saw performed in our city, some twenty five years e go, by the late K. W. Bonne theau, Esq., on an unhealthy peaeh tree, which recovered, and afterwards bore most excellent fruit. .Mr. 15., who at that time was much devoted to horticulture, en deavored to impress upon his friends the use of this medicine as a most effective one on diseased fruit trees. Convicted.—We learn that the two young men, George and Henry Maunders, of t'lmrle.ston, who killed George Myers, near Blackwell last November, were found guilty of manslaughter ill the present ses sion of (he Barnwell Court, Judge Aldrich presiding. ’Revival ok Helioion at Nashville. -A religious revival, described a* the most extensive ever witnessed in Nash ville, lias been in progress there for the last three weeks. In that time one hundred and thirty persons have joined tlio First Pres byterian Church,.'Dr. Bunting’s, and scores to tin: other churches ofthat city. A New Vork Editor Cominu South to Lech re.—A correpondont of the ill obile Advertiser <1- Keg inter writes : Mr. Mullaly, of the Metropolitan Re eon I, intends to start for the South about the liOth of March, for the purpose of de livering lectures in aid of the destitute, lie will first visit Savannah, aud will travel thence to the principal cities, delivering one or two lectures in each, lie has re ceived invitations front the cities which he intends to visit, and, though not yet in-, vited to Mohiie, may take that city iti his route. Mr. Mullaly has delivered some very interesting lectures in this city, and 1 think 1 ntay promise that his lectures will be ii:i well received in the South as his paper is. He • speaks as lie writes— vigorously and earnestly. A lI.UTV Woman! —llow beautifully true is the following little waif floating about on the sea of literature. Young lady, ponder it well! Make thyself “a happy woman,” for verily such an one is klie “very sparkle and sunshine of life” : “A happy woman! is not she the very sparkle and sunshine of life? A woman who is happy because she can’t help it— whose smile oven the coldest sprinkle of misfortune cannot dampen. Alen make a terrible mistake when they marry for beauty, for talent, or for style; the sweetest wives are those who possess the magic secret of being contented under any eireumstanccs. Rich or poor, high or low, it makes no dif ference; the bright little fountain of joy bubbles up just as musically in their hearts.” Mr. Thaddeus Stevens’ confiscation pro ject meets scant favor among the extremists of Itis party. The Chicago Tribune, one of the most vigorous and unyielding of Hadical journals, has taken strong ground against it, declaring that it is entitled to no encouragement, and that the Western people do not desire and will not tolerate it. The same tone pervades the comments of nearly the entire Republican Press on the subject. The idea of vindictiveness and spoliation is repudiated as at variance with the policy and repugnant to the feel ings of the North. This ground was taken while yet the decision of Congress on the reconstruction question was unknown; and assuredly it will not be abandoned now that the work of reconstruction has been begun under circumstances which promise satis factory results. Tut: Colin Freight Question. —The Columbus Enquirer returns to the subject, and says in vindication of its iormer re marks: We perceive that the Superintendent of the Georgia Railroad advertises that the total charge on corn transported from Bal timore to Atlanta, via Charleston and Au gusta, thirty-five cents per bushel. This goes to prove what we have been maintain ing—that corn can now be delivered here cheaper by way of Savannah than by way of Nashville aiid Atlanta. If the eastern line can supply Atlanta cheaper than the' other route, there can be no question as to the cheapest route for Columbus. Not only is the distance by rail less between Savannah and Columbus than between Charleston and Atlanta, but Atlanta is 1 o miles nearer to Nashville than Colum bus is. It needs only liberal action on the part of the ocean line between Baltimore and Savannah, corresponding with that of the Central, Southwestern and Muscogee Railroads, to establish this trade at once. Tin: Impending Kroon.— I This is the title ol'a new paper published in Augusta, Ha., the fifth number of which lias found its way into our sanctum. Henry .1. Os borne is editor, and Miss Lydia H. Baker associate and medium. We’have done our best to comprehend this sheet but have to \ give it up. We take it to l<e. however, a spiritual concern. Our individual opinion is that the editor is crazy. —Cutkbert Ap peal. Our brother of the Cuthbert Appeal is certainly very dull or he would be able to “ comprehend’ ’ the great truths which the Ep Jt is endeavoring to graft upon the" public mind of the country. The Epoch is a "spiritual" paper, but not in the sense implied in the Appear* comments. Its spiritualism is after the order of the Misses b ox, J udge Edmonds A Cos., of latter-day saints. Journalism in New York.— lt is said that the number of newspapers published in New York is 175. Fifteen of these are dailies—morning or evening: thirteen are printed in German: thirty are religious, and the remaining one hundred and fifteen are literary or political weeklies. The ma jority are trashy concerns that do no good, but probably do a great deal of harm. There are also as many as 84 magazines published in New York. Os these 84, it is not probable that more than fifteen were ever heard of a hundred miles from New York. Many of them are issued by the religious societies, and are little better than tracts. The Catholics arc going to build both a chapel and a college at Oxford, England. Reconstruction. We learn that the Directors of th Cen tral Railroad Company have a Corps of Engineers now on the line of their road engaged in efforts to shorten the distance between Macon and Savannah, by a change of its present location at several points east ot the Oconee river. The first change pro posed is to run a straight line from No. One to or near No. Four and a half, cut ting off the great bond which the present track makes to the South, and which wa originally adopted in order to reach and follow the bed of the Ogeechee river. The proposed change at this point will shorten the road some six or eight miles, and give to it nearly a straight line freui Savannah for upwards of fifty miles. Ihe next proposed change is to run a line commencing near:No. Nine, and strik ing the present road bed at or near the Ogocchee bridge, about one hundred miles from Savannah. The road is here shorten ed three or four miles in a distance of some ten or twelve. At or about the 102 mil e po=t a line is being run north of the present location which will strike the old line a/airi near No. 1 welve on Williamson Swamp. This new line will shorten the road five or six miles, and avoid the numerous bridges over the illiatnson swamp creek, which are now necessary to be kept up on the present track. These changes will reduce the length of the whole line fourteen or fifteen miles, and will secure a road-bed entirely free from the danger of freshets in the < Igeeohee River and William.son Swamp Creek, and are located on the line as originally sur veyed in the early conception of the enter prise. ’1 he last Legislature amended their charter so as to authorize the change, pro vided the new lines are not located more than rive miles from the present road-bed. Ihe prospect of the completion, at no very distant day, of the Brunswick and Macon Hoad lias, no doubt, contributed somewhat to these proposed changes, as it is said the distance from Macon to Savan nah, by the Macon &’Brunswiek, and the j Savannah & Gulf Hoads, is eight miles nearer than by the presdnt line of the Central Hoad. The Macon & Bruns wick Hoad has also the further advantage of having a line of fewer curves, and a ' grade considerably less than that of the 1 Central Boad. We note these changes as a significant indication of the recuperative power of the South when her interests are confided to those of her people who arc disposed to make the best they can out of the present embarrassed condition of our affairs, in stead of sitting idly down and grumbling ovor lost fortunes. The Columbia Meeting, The character, tone and temper of the recent negro meeting in Columbia seems to have taken the Radicals by surprise, and has been the occasion of no little flut tering in their camp. They see now, for the first time, what has been apparent to the Southern public ever since the agita tion of universal manhood-suffrage was commenced, that the great mass of negro votes will be given in iavor of their old masters and friends. Already we find ominous givings out from the extreme Radicals in Congress, that in ease the ne groes shall vote with tlio Southern people in the reconstruction business, that tlio duty will devolve upon Congress before accepting the State Constitution, to be formed under the Sherman Bill, “to in quire whether the negroes have been sub jected to undue influences in exercising the elective franchise. 1 ’ Raymond, of the Times, is evidently de lighted with the description of some of its friends, and maliciously asks : “Is not tlio Tribune a little premature in its exultation over the fact that Wade Hampton and other distinguished South Carolina politicians address political meet ings, without distinction of’ race or color, ; side by; side with ;colored orators? Does I not this foreshadow tlio possibility, at all j events, that the colored vote may not al- I ways be at the command of itinerant politi cal missionaries from tlio Northern States? It would cause disappointment in some j quarters, certainly, if it should prove that, in giving the suffrage to the negroes, Con gress had only put an increased vote at the command of tlio Southern ex-rebels. Yet this ominous conjunction in South Carolina looks a little like it.” The New York Express is also pleased ! with this demonstration of fraternity and ! good feeling between the two races, and 1 says: “These meetings are quite significant, ! ami the first one ought to put to shame the i malign legislation of Congress. Imagine Wade Hampton's ex-slaves, and we be liovo there were 1,700 of them at one time, sending a petition to Congress asking the Senate and House to repeal tho law which disfranchises their old masters I Wo ex pect to see ttiat sight yet, and to read of tlie Stevenses and Sumners moving to put it upon the table. The negroes have it in their power to put to shame those who, while claiming to be their exclusive friends, think it becoming to degrade men of t heir own color. “The spirit displayed at these two meet ings is worthy of all praise. It is absolute ly necessary to the good order of society, and to the prosperity of tho South, that the best relations should exist between the two races, especially where the negroes predominate, as they do in States like South Carolina and Mississippi.”* Stevens’ Confiscation Bill. Asa matter of curious information, we give to our readers the following* abstract of the leading features of this favorite bantling of the “old dragon:” “It confiscates all the public lands be longing to the ten rebel States, and all the lands and other property forfeited by the act of Congress of July 17, IS62—all which is to be seized, condemned and sold. Out of the proceeds each adult male freed slave is to receive forty acres, and each one who is • head of a family forty more. Out of the balance a sum of fifty dollars for each household is to be appropriated to the erection of buildings for the use of the late slaves ; —5200,000,000 is to be in vested in United States six per ceut. bonds and the interest added to the pensions of Union soldiers, and $300,000,000 is to lie appropriated to pay damages done to loyal citizens by the civil or military government of the rebel Confederacy, under which clause Mr. Stevens would be reimbursed for his property destroyed by the rebel in vasion of Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. The remaining sections of the bill pre scribe the methods and machinery by which it is to be carried into effect.” The Jews and the Insurance C ompanies or New York, Mr. Alexander Stoddart, the General Agent of the Underwriters’ Agency of New York, is making efforts to induce the Insurance Companies to withhold poli cies from the Jews on the ground that they are addicted to acts of incendiarism •in order to secure high insurance policies on the loss of property destroyed by their own acts. Some of the New York papers have taken up the eudzels for the Jews, and are bitter in their denunciations of this at tempt to traduce and injure this class of our fellow citizens. We quote the following, which appeared in the lrihune of the 18th instant : “We wait the denouement of this ridiculous farce with a good deal of inter est. V, e really had quite forgotten the , Jews and thought that everybody else i had. \\ c were not green enough to sup pose that bigotry and intolerance are dead | and buried—we have living witnesses, i every day, that they are as alive as ever. | ™ m,i thln V Ues had changed their i tactics a little, and were trying their baud i on new subjects. The persecution of the Jews is an old story , and we should have !• been hardly more surprised to hoar that people were refused policies for believiht m the Coperniean theory, or in the eireu- I latum of the blood, than we were to hear i of this eminently silly and unjust action , of the Insurance Companies against the ! Jews. We may safely trust the laws of , trade to bring these fatuous gentlemen to ) their senses, and as it is absurd to suppose ! that they can he reasoned or shamed out i of their course, we rely with serene eoufi ! deuce on the appeal to their pockets, which is sure to be made in time. We trust, uiso, that the insurance companies ( will speedily mend their ways, and come Ito a better mind.

An -actress named Janansehek, w ho calls herself “the German Ristori,” is shortly to visit this country. The Supplemental Bill In the Senate. Washington. March 14.—Mr. Trum bull caileu up the Supplementary Recon struction Bill, and it was taken up and read at length. The reading having been con cluded. Mr. Drake asked if the substitute recom mended by the Judiciary Committee were open to amendment. Tiie chair said it was. Mr. Drake said he had several amend ment* to offer. The first was to insert as the third section provision, that at the election provided forin the preceding sec tion. the registered voters of each State shall vote on the question of holding a State convention and forming a constitu tion. Those in favor of the convention shall have written or printed on their bal lots, "Fora convention;” those opposed shall have “Against a convention” written or printed on their ballots. The persons appointed to superintend the election shall make returns of the votes for and against. The Commanding General to whom the same shall be returned shall ascertain the total vote, and if a majority of the whole number of these in any State shall have voted lor such a convention, it shall be held. If a majority shall have voted against the convention, no such convention shall be heM Mr. Drake said he did not litre the pro vi-ions of the bill, as reported, on this subject. He did not think the individuals elected as members of the convention should have it in their power to make an official expression of what they choose to declare to be the wishes of the people, but tliat the people themselves should, by their votes, directly declare their wishes on that subject. Mr. Trumbull said the Judiciary Com mittee had considered a proposition simi lar to that now introduced by Mr. Drake, but they had concluded that it was best as now in the bill. Frauds were effectually guarded against by the provision that the constitution must be ratified by a majority of the registered voters. He hoped that the bill would lie passed as it came from the Judiciary Committee. If many amend ments were adopted it would bo incon gruous. Mr. Drake replied to Mr. Trumbull, arguing the necessity for guarding the Southern people against the possibility of betrayal into the adoption of a constitu tion against their wishes. The very men who had misled these people during the last six years were now ready to mislead them again. Mr. Frelinghuysen believed there was sufficient security in the provision requir ing the consent of a majority of the regis tered voters to the formation of a con-titu tion. Mr. Howard hoped Mr. Drake's amend ment would be adopted as a necessary pro tection to getting a full expression of the popular voice. The bill recently passed holds out a proposition by aocepting which the Southern States may be rehabilitated and restored to their rights. He thought it proper to bring the knowledge of these terms to the whole people of the South, and he knew of no better way of doing this than by submitting to them the ques tion whether they were willing to comply with them. Mr. Fessenden liked the proposition in this bill which required a registration of the .voters and secured the free exercise of the right of voting to all who were entitled to it. But he did not think it ought to be made the duty of a commanding officer to call a convention. That ought to be left to the people. The President was denounced lor thrusting upon the people of the South constitutions to which they had not given their assent. He did not think that men who had called this usurpation in the President should form the compulsory con stitutions now. His mode would be to get the registration first, and put it into the hands of the Provisional Governor. When the Provisional Governor expressed a de sire to call a convention, then the Com manding General should do what is re quired of him to assemble it. He thought it very essential that there should bo no forcing the people into the formation of a constitution, lie would wish them neither to be forced into the Union again nor kept out of it forcibly. The Union party had agreed upon terms upon which they could come back, and it ought to be left entire ly to them to act of their own accord. Mr. Morton was opposed to submitting the question of convention or no convention to the rebels at all in the beginning. If two-thirds of the lawful voters of the South were notin favor of the convention let them stay at home, but let them not be able to defeat the work of reconstruction. Let I the convention be held and the constitu tion formed. It is quite enough for them to have a voice in the ratification of the constitution after it is formed. Mr. Howard contended for the right of Congress, at such time and in such manner as it saw fit, to restore the rebel States. He was not in such a hurry to complete this work, or to admit a State without a clear and a fair expression of’the will of the majority of its citizens. A minority gov ernment could not exist in this coun try, and if any State contained a majority opposed to returning to the Union, he was for keeping it out till doomsday, or until its people repented in dust and ashes of their crimes. Mr. Stewart supported the bill as it came from the Judiciary Committee, believing it to meet all requirements and to need no amendments. Mr. Johnson did not believe the Gov ernment could subsist long with ten States out of the Union. It was the duty of Congress to hasten the work of recon struction on this account. Mr. Drake’s amendment was disagreed to: Yeas—Messrs. Cameron, Chandler, Drake, Ferry, Fessenden, Fowler, Harlan, Howard, Ilowe, Morgan, Morrill of M aine, Morrill of Vermont, Patterson, of New Hampshire, Sumner, Thayer, Tipton, and Wade—l 7. Nats—Messrs. Anthony, Buckalcw, Cole, Conkling, Conness, Corbett, Cragin, Davis, Dixon, Doolittle, Frelinghuysen, Grimes, Henderson, Hendricks, Johnson, .Morton, Patterson of Tennessee, Ramsay, Ross, Sherman, Sprague, Stewart, Trum bull, YanWinkle, Williams, Wilson and Yates—27. Mr. Drake moved to amend the fourth section by adding the following proviso: Provided , That no such constitution shall be considered as entitling the State for which it is framed to such representation unless it provide that, at all elections for State, county, or municipal officers, the electors shall vote by closed ballot, and such mode of voting shall never be changed without the assent of Congress. While Mr. Drake was advocating his amendment he was interrupted by Mr. Conkling, who inquired, suppose they should adopt constitutions in which they should insert this provision, and, after their representatives arc admitted, on the next occasion of revising their constitu tion should strike out that provision and substitute a provision ordaining viva voce voting, what was 3lr. Drake or what was Congress going to do about it. Mr. Drake replied that if they form a constitution with this provision in it. and afterwards violate it, they will have violated an express stipulation in their constitution, and an express contract with this Govern ment, and he [Mr. Drake], for one, would be prepared to say that the State should not have a Senator or Representative in these halls as long as that violation existed. Mr. Conkiing. That is, you would turn them out. Mr. Drake. Certainly, without a moment’s hesitation. Mr. Conkling had only to say that it would be rather an awkward thing to do in many respects. It would be especially awkward, in view of the fact that the Su preme Court had repeatedly decided—in one case originating in Alabama, for in stance —that any such contract would be absolutely and utterly vcfld for all purposes. After further colloquy on this subject, Mr. Drake said that on reflection he was strengthened in the belief he had expressed on being first questioned, that Congress would have a right to thrust out Senators and Representatives under the circum stauces mentioned by him. If the time ever came to test the question, if we had men of nerve in the Senate, they would carry out this idea. He came from a State where there were no conservative Radicals. His was radical Radicalism, and the people endorsed that kind of Radical ism. Mr. Trumbull, replying to Mr. Drake, said he had not such an opinion of the people, either North or South, as to deny them an open ballot. To do so would be to encourage fraud and ballot stuffing, without securing any compensating good for such an evil. Mr. Fessenden preferred not to put such provisions in this hill, but to leave all such matters to be considered when the consti tutions of these States are presented to Congress for revision. Mr. Conkling. having sent for a volume of Howard s Reports, read from one of the decisions to show that a condition exacted as a condition of the admission of a State ceased to have any binding effect when the btate becomes sovereign and assumed its functions as a member of the Union. He nail very great doubt whether this provis ion. it it could be imbedded in the con apy of the late rebel States, I r,- o '. j • tc l l^e security of the people it to protect • • * V that at the risk of be— sh?iu!dSS^^SaCo?Servali?' e Ra( heal, he Th ln 1 T^S amendment.

Doolittle believed it to be unconsti tutional to impose any such condition on a future State. All such matters were left i to the State by the Constitution. Mr. Morton said he would vote for Air. Drake’s amendment if the clause referring to the future were omitted, and it provid ed simply that voting by closed ballots shall be provided for in the constitutions. He believed it very important that the voting should be by closed ballot, but he doubted the right of Congress to impose a condition of this kind which should be binding in the future. Air. Henderson spoke against the amendment. Air. Buckalcw thought the advantages of voting by ballot were overestimated. The oni;, result obtained by it was an op portunity of canning people to deceive others. It was idle to attempt to make the employee independent of his employer bv this means. It would afford no protec tion. He objected to the attempt in this manner to establish immutable principles in constitutions. He believed it a wise policy to subject constitutions to periodi cal revisions and opportunities for reform.* He Loped to see the day when votes would be registered, and kept fbrexamination. Mr. Corbett did not believe the amend ment of Air. Drake would accomplish the purpose for which it intended. He spoke briefly against it. At the conclusion of Air. Corbett’s re marks. the Senate, pending the considera tion of Air. Drake’s amendment, went into executive session, and soon after adjourned. The Reform Question. JOHN BRIGHT ON THE DERBY RESOLU TIONS. On February 18th. the following letter was read at a public meeting, held at | Bradford, on the government reform reso lutions, the Secretary of the Bradford Branch of the National Reform Union i having transmitted to Air. Bright, Lord F. Cavendish and Air. Forster copies of a j series of resolutions adopted by the Branch, criticising the government reform : Rochdale, February 10, 1867. Dear Sir—l think your resolutions very good. _ The course taken by the govern ment is an insult to the House, and a gross offence to the whole body of reformers in the country. I cannotsay what the House will do, or what the liberal party in the House will do, till after the meeting, which is called for Thursday uext. The administration is bitterly hostile to reform. When in opposition this was abundantly proved, and it is confirmed by its course since its accession to office, ft has not the honesty or the courage to pro nounce boldly against reform, but it seeks to murder the cause and the question by a course contrary to Parliamentary usage, and odious in the sight of all honest men. If the House join in the guilt of this pro ceeding it will only add to the distrust with which it is now regarded by vast mul titudes of the people in all parts of the country. You are right in holding meetings, an and in every town and village meetings should be held. Already they have ’been held more generally and more numerously at tended than at any other time since 1832. Hitherto the effect seems little, so far as we may judge from the action of the ad- ministration ; and whether further meet ings will produce any greater effect, I can not undertake to say. But I venture to say this—that a government, unmindful of the opinion expressed so clearly in the great centres of our population, is running the country in great peril. If meetings have no effect, if the open and almost uni versal expression of opinion has no power on the administration and the legislature, then inevitably the mind of the people will seek other channels with a view to obtain and secure the rights which are now con temptuously denied them. If lam wrong in believing this, then history is a lie front the beginning, and we have ail been mis taken in our estimate of the causes out of which many of the great and deplorable transactions it has recorded have sprung. I understand that in Birmingham a great demonstration of opinion is contem plated, and I suppose other parts of the country will have something to say to an administration which abdicates its func tions, and is ready to betray both Queen and people, that it may remain in office for another session. I am, with great respect, yours truly, John Bright. The Secretary of the Bradford Branch of the Reform Union. The Exodus from Alexico.—The Havana correspondent of the New Orleans Times notices the arrival of a motly crowd of refugees from Alexico—they being people as varied in their complexions, de meanor, features, castes and creeds, as one could well expect from so many races and professions as they represented. The writer says: For instance here was His Rev. the very Archbishop of .Mexico, together with the head cook of the Archduke Alaximilian, Senors Ramirez, Robles, Peza and several other ex-eouncillors, ex-ministers and ex sycophants, mixed up with Alexican bull fighters, fortune-tellers and professional gamblers—Senor Escandon and other mil lionaires, railway and land speculators, agreeably discussing with leather and cord age traffickers—ex-newspaper editors, cock fighters and manufacturers of fancy wax figures, holding animated discourse about the glories of the defunct empire and the approaching chaos. But all these having arrived in a country which is not less ec centric and original than the land which they abandoned, our customs prove as groat a novelty to them as theirs are to us, and all proceed as agreeably as were the}' in their own homes, while the language of communication is one. "With very feiv ex ceptions, they are, however, all going to Europe. A Debt of Six Thousand Millions. —The present recognized national debt is a little less than three thousand millions of dollars. But the claims of loyal men, North and South, for property 7 taken or for property destroyed during the progress of the war, have yet to bo allowed and counted. The New York Times, whose editor was a member of the last Congress, says it has very good reason to believe that the amount of such of these claims as will be found to be perfectly just, and such as must be paid, will approach very nearly, if it does not equal, what is understood to be the present aggregate of the national debt. This may seem extravagant, as it certainly is alarming;, but it is believed time will show that it is not an over-statement of the actual fact. A Military Massacre in Mexico.— One of the most terrible tragedies connect ed with the wars of modern times, has just transpired in Mexico. By order of Esco bedo, who signs himself general-in-chief of the army of the Republic of Mexico, one hundred and twenty-three prisoners were brutally murdered in cold blood. The Ranchero, a Mexican journal, says ; The order was executed on the 3d inst., at 7 o’clock in the evening ; or, rather the execution of one hundred and twenty-three prisoners was finished at that hour" One by one the prisoners were shot, and each bloody body was left as it fell for the next victim in order to look upon. We are in formed that but few of the doomed victims faltered; and when marched out for execu tion most of them sang the Marsellaise hymn. We have been promised the full particulars of this awful massacre, and when received they wiil be laid before the public in order to complete the black and damning record. After the execution at San Jacinto, Gen. Escobedo ordered a ball at San Luis Potosi, in honor of the victory achieved over Mira mon. It was to have been the grandest affair ever gotten up in that city. One hundred and fifty ladies were invited, who were of course the “ ton of the town. ” When the hour came to commence the dance, the heroes of tho San Jacinto mas sacre found that but fifteen ladies had re-, sponded to the invitation. And no more than fifteen of those invited did attend that night. From this it may be determined what the women of Mexico think of the murderers of those French and German prisoners For several days past we have had no down train from Columbus, Ky., on the Mobile and Ohio Railroad. The recent heavy rains, we learn, have washed up the road and trestle work in different places, and it will, no doubt, be some days before the damage can be repaired.— Columbus Sentinel, 1 6th. Mr. Prioleau, of Fraser, Trenholm A Cos., in the ease of the Alexandra, seized by the United States Government, moved to get security for damages as well as costs. The court said there was some reason in the application, but would not grant it, and thought the United States would be suf ficiently responsible. As there are four or five wigs on a side, security for costs must be a consolation. The Natchez (Miss.) Courier compains that beavers are in such numbers in that neighborhood as to be quite a nuisance. Yet numerous as they are few are ever taken, for they are described as being too sly to be shot, and too wary to be trapped. The Aberdeen (Miss.) Examiner says that there are more freedmen at work on the farms of Monroe county than at any period since the war. and there are iqore acres “under the plow” than have been cultivated the last three years.

Bingham proceeded in his denunciations amid roars of laughter and some excite ment. Butler rose to reply, but the Committee rose. Butler appealed for an opportunity to answer. Eldridge hoped the House would not bottle up the gentleman from Massachu setts. Unanimous consent was then given him to reply, when Butler proceeded, defend ing himself for voting for Mr. Davis. He hoped thereby to save the country.

From W asliington.— Veto of the Supple* mental Bill. W asiiingtOn, March 23. —The Presi dent returned the Supplemental Bill with his objections. The Bill provides for an election in ten States for the purpose of making constitutions; but all elections, while the original bill remains in force, come withiu its restrictions. Preliminary to elections, comes registration. Unregis tered citizens cannot vote. The prelimi nary to registration is a vague oath, that the applicant is not disfranchised by par ticipation in the rebellion, which requires that the applicant for registration must decide for himself. There is a fearful re- sponsibility, ior though the bill does pot assign perjury, nor lisa penalty for mistak en swearing, he must not forget that mar shal law prevails, and that the applicant is responsible to the Military Commisions, without previous presentment by grand juries, the military commanders deter mining what is an offence and prescribing the punishment. The fourth section pro vides that the military commander shall appoint the necessary Boards of Registra tion, each consisting of three loyal persons, who may be military officers or citizens of the State, or strangers, exercising import ant functions and vested with unlimited discretion. They decide questions and make returns. Whatever error or frauds they commit pass unquestioned. By such measures are conventions of dele gates to be constituted. These dele gates are to speak for the people; common justice requires that they should have authority from the people. No con vention so constituted will, in any sense, represent the wishes of the people, for under all the embarrasing exceptions and uncertainty which disfranchisement causes, it leaves out the great body of the people who may be excluded from the polls. I do not deem it necessary to investigate further the details of the Bill. No con sideration could induce him (the President) to. approve such an election law for any purpose, especially for the purpose of form ing a Constitution for a State. The Pres ident argues the question at some length, illustrating that the formation of Republi can Governments, according to Congres sional ideas, may as well commence in Ohio or Pennsylvania as North Carolina. The President concludes : I confidently believe that the time will come when these States will again occupy their true positions in the Union. The barriers which now seem so obstinate must yield to the force of enlightened and just public opin ion sooner or Jater ; unconstitutional and oppressive legislation will be effaced from the statute books when this shall have been consummated. I pray God, that the errors of the past may be forgotten, and that once more we shall he a happy, united and prosperous people, and that, at last, after the bitter, eventful experience through which the nation has passed, we shall all come to know our only safety in the pres ervation of the Federal Constitution, and, in according to every American citizen and every State the rights which that Con stitution secures.

Small bills, to Planters and others, are filled at a shade higher rates.'] CO 11 OX. The market has been un settled and prices irregular. During the first part of the week the market took an upward turn and advanced fully from one to two cents, all qualities advancing—good cottons most. Buyers were, however, re luctant to conform to the demands of hold- ers. This, coupled with the scarcity of money, prevented large transactions, so that the week’s operations were rather limited. The unfavorable advices from Xew York and Liverpool (especially the latter) towards the close of tho week de pressed the market so that very little was done. The market closes dull and declin ing at irregular quotations. Tho following embraces the week’s business; Saturday.— Wo have to report astill bet ter feeling in the market to-day, with an advance of a half to ono cent on yesterday’s figures, but holders are reluctant to accede to tho viows of buyers, which were rather below 30 cents. Sales were more numer ous than for some days past. We quote Middling at 29, Strict Middling at 29}, and Good Middlingat 30 cents; stained cottons range from 22 to 2(5 cents. The sales were 260 bales, as follows:—2 at 27, 15 at 27}, 2at 28, 22 at 28}, 47 at 29, 50 at 29}, 15 at 29}, 101 at 30, and 6 bales of fancy chttonat3l cents. Tho receipts amounted to 121 bales. Monday. —We perceive no change in the market since Saturday. From sales made wo quote Middling to Strict Middling about 30 cents; one sale of fine cotton was made at 31 cts. The sales, which are larger than Saturday, amounted to 305 bales, as follows 4at 24, 7at 25, 2at 26,9 at 27, 3at 271, 24 at 28}, 2 at 29, 5 at 29}, 219 at 30, and 30 bales at 31 cents. Tho receipts were 43 bales. * Note.—The following lots were sold late on Saturday evening and not before re ported : —2 at 28, and 24 bales at 30 cents. Tuesday.— The market was quiet to day and not so much activity was dis played as on yesterday, but sales were effected at yesterday’s figures. The sales amounted to 343 bales, as follows;—1 at 23, 9 at 25}, 27 at 26, 13 at 27, 10 at 27}, 1 at 28, 50 at 29, 32 at 29}, 162 fit 30, 4 at 31, and 3 bales extra staple cotton at 32 cents, also 130 bales were sold on private terms. The receipts were 47 bales. Note.—There was a sale of 9 bales made yesterday afternoon at 30 cents which was not before reported. Wednesday. —This market, sympathizing with the Liverpool and New York mar kets, was so unsettled that it is impossible to give correct quotations. Sales were made to-day on a basis of about 29 cents for Strict Midtiling, and the market closed dull and declining. The sales amounted to 101 bales, as follows:—1 at 25, Sat 26, 9 at 27, 4 at 27}, 11 at 28, 35 at 28}, 33 at 29, and 2 bales Zippora cotton at 32 cents, also 55 bales on private terms. The re ceipts were 142 bales. Thursday.— We are still unable to give any quotations, owing to the unsettled condition and dullness of the market. Wo can only refer to the sales, which aro very limited, for prioos. Stained cotton sold at 24(3)2(5} cents. The sales to-day amounted to 80 bales, as follows:—s at 24, sat 25, 10 at 26, 7at 26}, and 53 bales at 28} cents. The receipts were 90 bales. Friday. —The market continues un settled, with very little inquiry. Buyers were offering about 1 cent lower than sell ers demand, the former offering 27} cents and the latter demanding 28} cts. for Strict Middling. The offering stock was very light. The sales amounted to 63 bales, as follows: sat 24, 2at 25,9 at-20, lat 26}, 4at 27}, 18 at 27}, 4at 271, 18 at 28, and 2 bales at 28} cents. The receipts were 74 bales. COTTON STATEMENT.
