PRESIDENT JOHNSON A fOSSEBTA- We have read with astonishment the ad dress of the President to a delegation of Southerners, who, to the number of 50 or 60, called at the White House on Monday the 11th. These representatives from nine lately in surgent States, came, they said, to assure the President of their confidence and co-opera tion in his reconstruction policy. The President, in reply, expressed surprise and gratification at the visit, and proceeded to tell the audiance how good a Conservative he had been before the'war: — “He had urged his Southern brethren to remain in the Union, and there to contend for their constitutional rights. He felt it was their only safety and protection. He had always been for the recognition of all Constitutional rights of the slave-owning States, and believed they could’ have been preserved in the Union if the issue had been made in the forum instead of in the held. He himself had been a slaveholder; but he had made up his mind if the issue ever nar rowed itself down to Union and slavery, that slavery must go and the Union be saved. He said he had confidence in then-devo tion to the restoration of the Union, and in their professions of loyalty, and he.was as sured that the disposition was to aid in build ing up the waste places of the Southland restoring peace and happiness, good will and union. He did not believe the sensation letter writers and editors who were endeavor ing to create the impression that there existed in the South disaffection and dissatisfaction, for the presence of so many eminent and dis tinguished gentlemen, representing such a large constituency, fully disproved the fact, .and gave the lie to the malign utterances.” These strange utterances will do more to weaken confidence in the breasts of true men than anything that has come from the same source. Connected with the permis sion, expressly and formally given, in face of the remonstrance of General Slocum, to Mis sissippi, to reorganize her State they give rise to fears, which only a conviction of the superintendence of Providence, and a reliance on the integrity of the next, Con gress can allay. ’ ! MISCELLANEOUS. Cotton^— The following facts and specula tions we take from the Public Ledger. In the battle with high prices of living, ,we breath freer and easier while reading, them. Says - the Ledger:—The supply of cotton coming into the Southern ports at ..present, largely exceeds the consumptive 1 ability' of the Northern mills. The reoeipts at' New- York during the past and present’ month have been very largely in excess of the , high est rate of Northern consumption during the years of peaoe; and yet, with. this large ratio of importation, the stock at New, Or leans is 50,000 bales more than,' at the same (period, for an average of the four years be fore the war. At New York, the stock is 25,000 bales larger than was held at the same period of 1859, at all the Northern ports.' If is clear,: therefore, we have reached a point at which the exports of cotton must very largely increase. On the 10th ult. there were at New Orleans fifteen vessels, bound for European ports, with an aggregate ton nage of 7383 tons, so that the means are at hand for immediately executing any foreign orders for cotton. It is not unseasonable to: suppose that the rapid accumulatiou of cot ton may induce the early shipment of, large, amounts of the staple, to forestall a probable decline in price. At all the ports there were,- at latest dates, 275,000 bales of cotton: fully. a six months’ consumption for the North; and yet cotton is coming into the Southern ports at the rate of about 40,000 bales per week. With such an enormous excess in the forthcoming supply over the Northern' demand, it is impossible that we can have: any other result than an early export of cot ton upon a large scale. The effect of such a movement upon exchange and gold-are very obvious. Under present rates-of sterling-ex change importers, decline purchasing more than they are obliged,- at these high rates, from an opinion that the quotatioiis caimot be long maintained. They argue that the exports of cotton will soon compensate for the present; discrepancy between the value of the imports and exports, aud that cousequently the settle ment of foreign balances by specie will be of short duration. . Indian Affairs.— United States Com missioners are now engaged in , council with the Indians at Fort Smith, with, the view of •effecting, by treaty stipulation, some.better security against Indian hostilities: The stip ulations proposed by the government are that ■then shall be a grand consolidation of all Indian tribes into one nation, the territory of which shall be the -present Indian Territory, and. such other as the government may de cide upon. The tribes now living in Kansas are to be removed South, and the Southwes tern tribes are expected to compel the "In dians of _ the plains to observe the treaties. The Indians,, though speaking: favorably,,of the policy of'th’e .govUmment, and professing* anxiety to renew friendly relations with it, have not thus far Been brought into treaty. The representatives ; of the different tribes say , they have no , power to treat, but will refer to their national; councils any proposi tions from the Government. The council Is not concluded. Later. —A dispatch, ot September 12, says: “In the Indian Council to-day the Seminoles presented papers showing their desire to treat with the United States, and their wishes in relation to churches, schools, and in ternal improvement. The commissioners sta ted a treaty of peaoe would be prepared and pre sented for signatures to-uiorrow. The Creeks made a lengthy statement relative to their action in the war, saying the names of their chiefs affixed to treaties with the rebels were used without their knowledge, and the same was true with regard to the Indians of the plains. Governor Pitohley, rebel chief of the Cherokees, arrived to day, and says the other set of delegates will be here Wednes day or Thursday.- ’ Still Later, (14 th.) —Nine tribes signed a treaty of permanent peace, acknowledging themselves under the protection of the Uni ted States Government and promising sub mission. Freedmen in Maryland.—What we hear concerning their condition is quite en couraging. Many of the former slave-owners have hired their recent bondmen at fair wages.. The negroes work willingly. A school, which has been established for them at Harper S Ferry, now has about sixty echo* lars, and the number is steadily on the in crease. Other schools are soon to be started. Meeting of the Alabama Convention. —A dispatch from Montgomery, September 14, says:—The newly elected State Conven tion of Alabama met here to-day. About ninety members are present. Ex-Governor Fitzpatrick was.cjhosen president by acclama tion. The delegates comprise many of the ablest and best men in the State. It is sup posed that the action of the body will closely follow that of the Missippi Convention. Grov. Parsons believes and hopes that the resolu tions permitting negro testimony in the courts will be passed. In any event, the doings of the Convention will be of a, decidedly conser THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1865, vative tone. All the members present have taken the prescribed oath of loyalty. It was voted, 58 to 34, not to repudiate the rebel State debt. Southern Items. —All the new Southern Constitutions will be communicated to Con gress. The President will not take. action, upon them.-; —-The agent of the Scotch Emi gration Society has secured a twenty years’ lease of 30,000 acres of bottom land on the James River, below Richmond, which will be occupied this authmn by a colony of three hundred Scottish agriculturists, who intend to make market-gardening their special busi ness. -General Howard left. on,W ednesday on a, tour of inspection in Virginia, to exam ine into the condition of the freedmen and the operations of the Freedmen’s Bureau in that State. In October General Howard de signs making a'similar .tour of inspection through the several Southern States. ■ ,lt is believed these inspections are made with a view of ascertaining whether the new rela tions between the freedmen and their em ployers are sufficiently established to admit of curtailing the operation's of the Bureau, and probab|y dissolving it entirely.——The report of General Swayne, Commissioner of Freedmen for Alabama, September 4th, says, The demand'for labor is still apparently - increasing, and I trust; by the'close of the year, the free people will become entirely self-supporting. Provisional ’Governor Par sons is said by General Swayne to be “as prompt and true as it is possible to be.” —-General Sprague, Commissioner for Mis souri and Arkansas, says, Sept. 9th',, “ The experiment of ‘giving the freedmen small tracts of land to cultivate on their own .ac count, has been tried here with the most sat- 1 isfactory results. They pay the same rent as that paid by lessees of the Treasury Depart ment, and are not only doing equally well for. the Government, hut are. making money for themselves. I saw $5,000 that one freedman had laid up as the proceeds of last ‘ years’ crop off fifty acres. A ,Freedmen’s Orphan Asylum and Hospital is supported- by' the profits ot the wood-cutting. ‘ .. Apprehended Trouble prom Outraged Freeuimxn. —A Washington despatch to the N. Y Times , of Sept' 6 } says that the'Presi dent has received within a fqw'days past numerous letters from prominent’'citizens of Virginia, North Carolina and Mississippi, expressing apprehension of insurrection by freedmen in these States. These letters the President referred to the Freedmen’s Bureau for Consideration, and General Howard has issued a circular to Colonel Brown, Commis sioner of Freedmen for Virginia; recommend ing a patrol of citizens, or police system, to be under the control of the department com mander in counties where there are no agents of the Freedmen’s Bureau; A citizen of Union sentiments may be appointed to aid the bureau in preserving order and forward ing. contracts ,fer labor between the freedmen '• and white citizens, such ' appointee to’be re sponsible to the. Assistant Commissioner for the State in which the ’citizen resides. - Judge Coursol under Investigation. —Soon after the persons accused of robbing" the St. Albaus banks and killing some of the citizens were discharged by Judge Coursol, of Montreal, the Canadian Government or • dered- an investigation into the conduct of the Judge to be made by Mr. Torrance, a mem ber of the Montreal bar'of some ability and 1 high personal character. The report of Mr. Torrance has just been published. He exon erates Judge Course! and Mr. Lamothe, the Chief of Police, by whose instrumentality the recovered money had so hastily been trans ferred to the friends of the prisoners, from the Imputation of corrupt and'improper motives. •He, however, holds that- Judge Coursol should be indicted for malfeasance in office in not reporting to the Government. No action has yet been taken on the suggestion of Mr. Torrance. Indictment for Murder; and Ajirest for Treason.— The Grand Jury at Bedford, Pa., Sept. 5, presented a true bill in the case of John P. Reed, Jr., indicted for the murder of Deputy Provost Marshal Jacob Grouse on the Ist of August last, and ignored the Mil Against Menzel Reed and Schell W. Reed. Immediately after his diseharge Menzel Reed was arrested by Deputy U. S. Marshal Col. Alexander Campher, qn charge of treason against the United States. It may be.remem befed that this Menzel Reed joined ithe rebel army during the invasion of the State in 1863. ;He was conveyed to Pittsburgh to await his trial. ; Meeting of the South Carolina Con vention. —This body met at Columbia on the 14th ult., with one hundred members present. - It is regarded* as the ablest body, ever convened in that State, Resolutions of discontent were offered,.and received only five votes, and they were laid on the table, after a refusal to print them. The Governor’s mes sage strongly sustains the President’s recon struction policy. On the next day the secession ordinance was repealed,’’not declared hull and’ void as in the more thorough and sweeping resolutions ini Mississippi. r Last of the N. Y. Book TrA.de Sale.— The proceeds of the book trade sales are re ported to have been nearly a quarter of a mil lion, of dollars. A curious feature was the sale of a large quantity of Bibles, prayer books and other religions works, that had been cap,- tured from blockade runners—said books be ing a donation from; the - British and Foreign Bible Society to the rebel army. FINANCIAL. ? " The internal ,receipts were.sl,Bls; 496 .on .Monday. A false report had heen spread in London to the effect that our Government was about to issue a new loan. 5-20’s were 68 to 68 h The - holders of the rebel cotton . loan held a meeting, September 14, to inquire into the prospects of reeovering'any'part of their investment. The gravity with which it was argued that, the United States had in herited the liabilities of its rebellious subjects was ludicrous. FOREIGN. England.— English dates are to the 3d inst. The Atlantic Telegraph Company is plucky under disaster. The directors have accepted the offer of the Telegraph Construc tion Company to manufacture and lay down a new cable, and complete the present one, so as to have two perfect cables between Ireland and Newfoundland next summer. The manu facture of the new cable has commenced, and the work is being done with the utmost care. Captain James Anderson received an offer from the Telegraph Construction Company to command the Great Eastern for five years in laying cables, and accepted it. It is stated _ that, in consequence of the spread of Fenianism, the number of regi ments in the south of Ireland is 'to be increased. The French fleet was paying a complimen tary visit at Portsmouth, and the naval offi cers of the two nations were hobnobbing greatly to their mutual enjoyment. • Crop estimates claim much attention, and will probably give a spur to the American market, much pleasanter for producers than for consumers. The leading authority in the London Times sums up his estimates through out the country as follows: . Wheat will yield twenty-six bushels per acre, or four below the average; barley, thirty-two bushels, per acre, or eight below the average:; oats, thirty-four bushels per acre, er fourteen below the aver age. Peas and beans will yield their average crop, i Potatoes will yield umisually well. Hay will give an average crop. Pasturage is singularly abundant. France.— The Paris Patrie says that the French Imperial Government, and all the precedents of its policy, compel it to refuse its approbation to the Austro-Prnssian com pact at Gastein. What- has predominated in the arrangement sanctioned at Calysbar, has been the interest of the strongest, and the annexation of Lauenburg to Prussia raises another constitutional question. The Cholera.— The number of deaths in Constantinople is stated at 20,000. As many as 1000 have died in one day. Atßarcelona, Spain, a new point of at'iaok, the average Is 12 deaths a day. No ciseS have occurred at Leghorn, or at any point,oh the westeoastfof Italy! At Ancona, oh the Adriatic, half the cases are fatal. ; ,-Betters from Rome, says the Italie, men tion that not a subject of; the Pontifical Go vernment has offered himself to be enrolled in ; the new Papal corps. Summart.— By the steamer City oj Bos ton news to .the ,7th of September has been received, of which, ws give the following sum mary; —The rebel bondholders held a meet ling in London on September.l4, bnt their hope of being paid is very slight,.—-Trade between Liverpool and_ the South is getting quite active. .Sir William Hamilton, As tronomer, Royal of Ireland, and Joseph Bo naparte, .are dead.- The cholera is active in Marseilles.--—The reported secret treaty bV , twee n Austria and Prussia is denied.—r-There has been a great fire at Constantinople. It' was still raging on September 6th, and had destroyed .200 buildings. Five leading Fenians have been arrested in Ireland. Affairs in Hath.— The latest advices from Hayti, through official sources, state .that .though the revolutionists have held out longer that was expected, they must submit before long. .Tho ( rebellion has been pro longed at Cape Haytien, because . President Jeffrard, by investing the town, hoped to weary out the rebel garrison, without inflict ing upon the citizens.the horrors of a bom bardment. But the President has now deter mined to take more determined measures, and bring matters to a close. San Domingo. —By way of Havana, Sept. 9, we have advices that Spain has evaquated San Domingo. The, revolution which broke out there last month, in which Cabral was named “Protector,” is all over,and the Do minicans hope soon, .to .reconstruct, their country. . ; , . . South America. —The war between Para guay and the Argentine Republic shows no signs of termination. : Rains had retarded military .operations, but hostilities were about to commence on an imposing scale. Large armies, were being raised by volunteers and conscription. ... ; Sandwich Islands. way of San Francisco, we have Honolulu dates to August 16. The whalers James Maury, Joseph Max well, and Richmond had arrived' from the' Arctic ocean with one and fifty ,sail ors, comprising the crews oY’vessels i burned by the Shenaitdoah. Site left the Arctic sea about the time the Nile departed for that city, and reports the total captures by the Shenandoah at thirty vessels, of which twenty-six were burned and Tour bonded. The Maxwell reports that ten whalers es caped without,-giving-their names.. The Emily Jordan and , John P. West had pre viously sailed for the Ochotsk sea. ITEMS. Lieutenant-Governor Charles Anderson, who, by the death of Governor Brough, be comes the Executive of Ohio, is a brother of General Anderson, of Fort Sumter fame. A northern firm has leased Jamestown Island, Virginia, for five years, and will prepare it for cultivation during the coming year. It is to be converted into a vegetable farm. The same firm has leased a plantation on the main land, and will put in this fall several hundred acres of wheat. The appearance of Breckinridge in Canada, induces the sur mise that he has some hopes of Executive clemency. His uncle, Dr. Robert J. Breck inridge, is said to be extremely anxious bn the subject. Beauregard has taken the oath of allegiance.——R. M. T. Hunter is released on parole.——lt has been decided to admit cplored children at Newport, R.

Two or three small towns have gone Democratic.——-By the end of the year the navy will be.reduced to nearly the same strength as at the commencement of the war. Only three iron-clads will be retained in ser vice—one each at Charleston, New Orleans, and San Francisco. -General Steedman, having organized a court martial for the trim of some young bloods for the cowardly muri der of a Federal Captain Th Augusta, Ga., has received several aiionynibus letters, warn ing Bim'th'at' if they are punished, he-shal! never leave Georgia alive. Mfijor-Geheral J. H. King, commanding the District 'of Augusta, Ga., has issued an order declaring null and void all contracts' or agreements in writing’ between parties the consideration 5 of which is payment in gold. The order re quires that in all such contracts the conside ration ■named to be paid shall be in legal tender currency.——-Boston Corbett,- whose exploit in putting an end to the life of the assassin'Booth, has introduced him to fame, has left the army, and quietly resumed; in New York,’his trade of hat finisher. —— Louis Agassiz, the naturalist, is now engaged in explorations, in the valley .of the Amazon. ——On the 12th instant, there arrived in Philadelphia 108 vessels and deaprted 68, making in all a movement of 176. The busi ness of the port is decidedly oh the increase. The internal revenue receipts of the Govei-ritnent tor the present month, have averaged about $2,000,000 per day, a rate of $700,000,000 a year. As the battery was going into camp at New Haven, on Monday, an old battery horse grazing in a lot, hearing the bugle-call, jumped the fence, took his old position in line, and moved out, to camp with the battery. So much for force of habit.’ -During the month of August 7,266,045 acres of the public domain were taken up By the land office at lonia, Michi gan, for actual settlement, under the provi sions: of the homestead act. Ex-Governor Aiken, South Carolina, has been pardoned. ——The negroes of Norfolk, Alexandria, and Richmond, have raised $750 for a sword for General Butler.— —Emerson Etheridge is to tried by court martial, in Memphis, in a short time. ——Two regiments of colored troops, organized at the South, have been mustered out a Charleston. The valuation of property in New York for the ensuing tax levy is nearly twenty-six millions less than for the present year, owing to the.withdraw ing of bank stocks from the taxable property. -—-The entire business portion of Augusta, Maine, was destroyed by fire on the 17 th of September. Forty buildings were burned ana the loss was $500,000. PAYING DEAR FOR THE WHISTLE. The Charleston News of a, recent 1 date, gives a clear statement.of tL'eimmense losses which South Carolina has sustained from the rebellion, and closes it.by saying that the seven hundred thousand inhabitants of that State are now probably the poorest m the world. It . says they have no right to com plain of this;; they brought, it upon? them-, selves.' It is accepted by them as the iuevi- table penalty of failure in a cause upon which they had staked everything. The New York Times gives the following summary of the condition of the State : No Southern State has so dearly paid in proportion to its means, for its resistance to the Government. Out of one hundred and forty-six thousand white males of all ages in the State at the census of 1860, it has lost forty thousand by death or disablement which is at the rate of one for every three and six tenths. The loss of Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi was in about the proportion, in each State; of one in four of the white males;, in North Carolina one in three and seven tenths, and in. Virginia, (including Western Virginia,) a very little less than one in five. The loss of South Carolina in what was called slave property was far greater proportionately than in any other Southern State, for she had proportionately far more of it. She had 402,406 slaves, while her entire white popula tion was only 291,388 —an excess of 111,018 slaves.- No other Southern State had more slaves than whites, excepting Mississippi, and the excess in that State was but 92,730, with a considerably larger total population than South Carolina. The. estimate of the value of the South Carolina slaves in 1860 was too hundred millions of dollars. At the beginning of the war, Charleston lad about five .thousand houses; of these fifteen hundred, or nearly one-third, have been burned, and a large number, of others were'.irreparably damaged by the bombard ment. Columbia, the capital of the State, has suffered in.;jike manner. ‘Sherman’s' army made general havoc through the west ern. and middle parts of the State, while nearly; eyery-.plantation on or near the coast has either been desolated, or has been con fiscated, and passed into hands of Northern strangers. According to the Charleston News, of the property of the estates of deceased, persons, and of property in litigation, four fifths were: converted during the war into Confederate isecurities, and, are' therefore valueless. In like manner, the funds of chur ches, colleges qpd charitable institutions, fif teen millions in bank stock;, and nearly all of the funds of private individuals which were available during the war, have been almost entirely sunk. The cattle; horses, hogs, farm ing implements, household furniture and utensils have, in great part, been destroyed or swept away. It is calculated that out of four hundred millions worth of property in the. State in 1860, only something- like fifty, millions now remain in any shape. Of all the .States overwhelmed by the rebellion, r none, lies so terribly mangled and so utterly exhausted as its prime mover, South Caro lina’. : : THOMAS CARRICK & CO., CRACKER AND BISCUIT BAKERS, , 1905 Market Street, Philadelphia.

It will be a mostacoeptable.book in fam ilies, mission churches, and, if our taste was the rule, it .would be used in Sabbath-schools.” The Evangelist says“ThePublication Committee of our Church have just issued a volume which we ap prehend is destined to become highly popular among our churches. It is entitled, ‘ Social Hymn and Tune Book/ and is designed the lecture-room, prayer meeting, family-circle, and mission church. It is one of the neatest and most tasteiul volumes of the kind. which we have ever met with. Although a 16mo of 612 pages, it is by no means bulky, while the print is dear and distinct, and sufficiently large for common use. Most of the hymns are from the Church Psalm ist, and by means of the index with its references, every hymn can be identified in the two books. The tunes and hymns are arranged throughout the vol ume on alternate pages, so as to suit the convenience of a promiscuous congregation, and enable them to ioin intelligently in their songs of praise.” The American Presbyterian says: —“This Hymn Book i.s really charming in its propriety and good taste as an article of manufacture. , . . Iq the Hymns given, we find those that are loved in the churches. . . . We hail with satisfaction a book so well selected and so well arranged.” IS HUSUN, . . . - 8100 SHEEP, . . - - 125 MOROCCO. - > . iso Sent by Mail for these prices.
