THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, JANUARY 1G, 18GG. THE NEW YORK PRE33. Editorial Opinions of the Leading Journals Upon the Most Import ant Topics of the Hour. OOMFILID KTKRT PAT FOB JVBHINQ TSLKOBAPH. The Amended Hill for the Protection of . , the freed Jfcgroes. IYm the Timet. The bill to enlarge the Freed men's Htirpau, as utneruled by the Judleiitry Committee, has been presented by Mr. Trumbull to the Senate, r It providos for-the continuance of the Utlreatt, and extension to all parts of the United States Where .fteedraon , may . be. For this purpose, thero are to be twelve ireedmen's districts, with an Assistant Comtmsploncf over each, with sub distrioU and the necessary clerks. The Presl-, dent is authorized to place the whole, ii he . deems it best, under officers from the army, and to give all employe? of the Bureau military pro tection. For destitute retugoca and nceroes, the Secretary of War is authorized to Issue pro visions, fuel, and clothing. ' The important feature, however, is the authority given by the President to reserva for the frcedmcn and loyal refugees unoccupied lands in Florida, Mississippi, and Arkansas, not exceeding In ail three million acres ot good land. Each family or laborer is to have iorty acres, at such rent as may be agreed upon between the Commissioner and the treedmen. Alter a time the tenants can purchase and own the lands on valuation this latter to be deter mined by the Commissioner, under direction of th President. The titles granted under General Sherman's special held order of January 10, 18G., are con firmed and made valid. Again, the pauper lreedmen now depending on the Government for support are to be pro vided with such lands in the different districts as the United States may be able to purchase, and the Commissioner shall build upon them such schools and asylums as may bo necessary; and troin time to time he is to let and sell those lands to the lreedmen, in the same manner with the public lands; provided, however, that the lots tthall never be sold tor less than the cost to the United Slates. Another section authorizes the President to extend military protection to the lreedmen in all cases of laws making discrimination against them on account of color; and still another prescribes punishment tor subjecting freednien to slavery. This important bill was discussed yesterday before the Senate. - We speak advisedly when we say that no one motion of more importance will come before the Senate during this session. The suffrage mieht ultimately be of benefit to the intelligent negroes, but for the whole race at this time land is of more value than votes. 'Ibis bill is really an act to raise up a suddenly emancipated rare from their condition of depend ents or proletaires to that ot landowners and freeholders. It recognizes the great economical fact that the possession of land is one of the principal elements in the advance and elevation of a poor peasantry. It offers to the negro what ' the Government ha already ottered to the emi grant wbite peasant from Europe, the stimulus of land to induce him to settle and labor. Ob serving the fearful effect in Jamaica of throwing obstacles before an emancipated r3ce, in their purchase and renting of real estate, theframers ot this bill have made it as easy as possible. All can br.ve ground, if they will; even the paupers are to be rut on- farms, and all can secure the fee of their little plots by proper industry and economy. The act secures the protection of the m gro, and really thus aids the white. If the black laborer be budly treated by the planters, be will tnevitaiilv retreat to the unoccupiod lands, and rent bis plot from the Government, leaving the large estates to shift for themselves. If unjust low s are pusscd against him, solely on account of bis color, he can appeal to mili tary protection, and the President (it he choose) can defend h'm against iniquitous State or local legislation. If efforts are made to re-enslave him, the author are liable to punishment. The edu cation and shelter of those destitute persons, now dependent on the Government, are secured by tnis Dill, its f'ramers recognizing in this ab normal state ot things a certain duty of the United States towards those unfortunate freed nien, though 6uch matters ordinarily ought to belong to the State and local authorities. ,We are glad to see, also, that General Sherman's most wise arrangement for his destitute freed mpn and for other loyal treedmen Is to be con firmed. The owners of the Sea Islands were the most rabid Rebels; they opened this wicked Re be'lion; their lands have been cultivated bv loyal blacks who trusted to General Sherman's orders and to the promises of our officers. We do not believe in any general confiscation, but in thb particular case, the brack loyalists being settled on the plantations, it seems fust that tho owners should be the sutl'erers. When We speak of the importance of this bill we are looking to the f uture ot the white as well as the block race. We believe that tho real interest of the planters is in it as much as that of the negroes. From the beginning the great effort of this journal has been to harmonize labor and capital in the South. If the two are permanently sepa rated (as the mad passion of so many nt the South would inevitably bring about), then fare well for a generation to the peace, the pros perity, and the wealth of the Southern Staves. .. The great use of the Freedmen's Bureau Is ust this to reconcile the master aud his paid la borer. It is a third power (if we may so call It) put in by the Government between the employ ing clais and the laboring, to guard the interests of both. " , The treedmen need some authority in whose; ndvice they can have confidence; some power' besides the courts of planters to arrango their contracts, and to compel them to observe them ' and force tbem to labor; some deportment to disconrace pauperism' and idleness, promote education, arrantre wages, .protect rkhts, and force the planters u'jjo to fulfil their engage ments. . , In ordinary times the local authorities would be sufficient lor this. Hut alter Buch a terrible M ar as the late one, with emancipation forced by the bayonet, we cannot expect the old sla-vehold-ing class to do full justice 'to those who were once thelrproperty. It wouli not be in human nature. The Government comes in for a time, till mutters settle themselves. Under the Bureau (if wisely administered) the South may yet heal tho wounds of war, and the industrious blacks may be a source of greater wealth to the coun try thun they were in slavery. Without some surh administration we fear only contusion, dis ci der, disorganization of labor, poverty, and revolution. , , As a matter of fact, we trust that the blacks will never be driven to the. "unoccupied lands." They are worth vastly moie on the large estates than as pioneers. But their continuauce in cot ton aud sugar and rice labor will depend on the w isdom, Justice, and kindness of their employers. The Government can merely protect them aud punish Idleness. ' ... . .11. t. i- Progress ol Reconstruction. ' ' ' Jfrom the Tribune .,, ,,' We rejoice to learn that the rood work of re construction Is proceeding at " the South with cheerful rapidity. We say at the youth, in con tradistinction to what Is doing at Washington; though we believe that there also all is eoiog well." It was a happy Idea ol .Congress to send t lie whole subject ol reconstruction, to a Joint Committee, clothing that committee with ample T'ower.' We trust that committee wit persevere in keeping its own counsel, and will Investigate thoroughly', fearlessly, deliberately." Let tho two Houses meantime shut olf lcbato on the mulit question, and let Ihe country and all.Bec ttoiut of it be pat ient, assun d that u. w ie and sale conclusion will indue time bt roched.i We caunot doubt that all the Southern Ntates will b represented in Cougress before the close of t lib xetion. ' Dot the real reconstruction Is proceeding at the South this at Washington being only the shadow. From evory side we ball evidences ot a growing accord between the whites and blacks, based on a coimclouness that their Interests are hot antagonistic, but Identical. Jt is morally cer tain that all the fair to middling cotton that can be grown In 1H06 ropy bn sold at 25 to 30 cents per pound in gold, which afford a net profit of 15 to 20 cents. In other words, the labor of each able-bodied, experienced field-hand will produce, on the average, at least $500 worth ot cotton ; while the cost of birine and feeding such field hand will not average $250. Assuming that there are to-day one million negroes In the South who con be hired to make cotton (andthcrc are more than one million, but not all full bands) the profit on thcif ilabDrjfor Jthe current year will be $250,000,000. Now there are many penniless ruf fians aud rowdies at the South, but they have not full sway there; wml? the more intelligent, re putable, property-holding class have all a deep stake In the establishment of mutual confidence and goodwill between whites tid blacks. And this work, with somo local Interruptions, is rapidly proceeding. We have received a copy of the regulations framed and adopted by the planters of Monroe county, Alabama, for the government of their dealings wltb the freodraen; and they evince a humanity and consideration which were signally wanting in those framed last spring by the land holders of several sections of old Virginia. They might be improved ; but considering that their authors were till lately slaveholders, and are dealint with those who were then their slaves, they are e 'en commendable. The Legislature of Tennessee, we are assured, w ill review its unwise action of last year and accord to the frcedmcn every civil right such as to sue in courts, hold lands, give testimony, &o., Ac. And other Southern Legislatures will follow in the footsteps of this one. Washington letters state that General Iloward Is In the receipt of letters from his subordinates in the Freedmen's Bureau throughout tho South, showing an improved etate of feeling between ex-masters and treedmen, and justifying san guine hopes for the future. Hiring is brisk; and tew blacks persist In idleness when offered pay for work. One of the despatches says: Tlie Freedmen's Bureau Is in receipt of a large number oi reports irom tno souta showing tnat tlie Dcprocs are commencing the now year In a Batistas tory mannor. General Wayne writes from Alabama that general improvement continues to be manliest. The demand for labor still exceeds the supply, and frcedmen show a marked preference for living with Northern men, of whom there are about 0000 in the btate. 'J hose planters who il treated the lreedmen lact year find it almost impossible to secure labor during this, and some have been compelled to bn eon their farms in consequence." It Is this latter Class who set up negro insur rections on paper, and raise the reports that negroes will not work. The fact is they refuse to work for those only w hom they know as cruel and dishonest and these arc, alter all, but a fraction. We have met scores of ex-slaveholders of late, and every one of them had found It easy to hire all the labor ho wanted generally that of his former slaves-at satisfactory prices. Ani every one of them obtained lrom "his treedmen as much work as he required. Let the South have time to realize fully that clavery is dead beyond the hope of resurrection, aud she will come out all right. What she mainly needs are time, patience, and hearty Good will. Constiuctive Treason Place ol Trial. from the World. Tho recent letter of the Attorney -General of the United States, transmitted to the Senate by the President in reply to a resolution inquiring, among other things, why Jeff erson. Davis has not been arraigned on the charge of treason, con' tains the following paragraph: , The question then, arises, Where and when must tin trinl thereof be heluf In that clause of tlio Con stitution mentioned in the resolution ot the (senate, it is plainly written that they must be h ;ld iu the State aud district "wherein the crimo shall have been committed." I know that mtny persons of learning- and anility entertain the opinion that tho Commander-in-chief of the Kobel armies should be regarded as constitutionally present with ali the in ui tenia who prosecuted hostilities and made raids upon the nertiiemaud southern borders of the loyal Mates. This doctrine of constructive presence, car ried out to its logical consequences, would make all who bad been connected with tho Kibol armies liable to trial in any Htates and district into which any poriion ot those armies had made tho slightest in cursion.' Itot bemir persuaded oi the correctness of that opinion, but regarding the doctrine mentioned as ot doubt I nl constitutionality, 1 have thought it not proper fo advise you to cauve criminal proceed ings to do instituted against Jefferson Davis or any other insurxonis in States or districts in which they were not actually present during the prosocuiion of hostilities. i .i We are curiouB to know the names of the "many persons of learning and ability" who are referred to by Mr. Speed. In the case of Bollman and Swartwout, two of the alleged accomplices ot Burr, brought before the Supreme Court in 107 on a writ ot habeas corpus, thai tribunal, announced, as American law, the following propositions: ' 1. To constitute' treason, war must 'be actually levied. I ..,'.. .. i. . .. 2. A conspiracy to subvert the . Government by loice is not treason. ' 8. If a body ot men be actually assembled for the purpose of effecting, by force, a treasonable dosiirn, all who perioral any part, however nnnuto and however remote from the scene ot action, and who are actually leagued in the general conspiracy, are traitors. 4 It an oflense be' committed on land, the offender must be tried br the Court having jurisdiction over that locality where the offense was committed.. ,,, . . It was but a short time after the a'iiournment of the court which pronounced this opinion that Burr himself was arraigned at the bar of the Circuit Court of the United States, sitting iu Kichmond, and Chief Justice Marshall presiding. One count of the indictment charged that the prisoner, with a number of unknown persons, levied war on-Blennerhossett's Island, in the county of Wood, In the District ot Virginia; and another count added the circumstance of pro ceeding from that island down the river, for the purpose of seizing New Orleans by force. The testimony adduced on tb part ol tlie United States to prove the overt act luid in the Indict ment made it clear, and the utforuey tor the prosecution admitted, that Burr was not present when that act was committed, but was a eretit distance off, 1 and in another State. In this posture of the ense it was proposed by the Government to nonuect the accused with the transactions on B'.ennerhassett's Island by col lateral testimony of opinions expressed, inten tions mauitested, and extrinsic circumstances happening out ot the district. To this proposal obiectiou was made by the defen.-e, and the stress of the whole case, as It afterwards turned out, lay in this objection. Mr. Wirt spoKe of the objection in tuee wordst , v "The motion is a bold and original stroke in the noble scieuce of defense. It marks the genius and hand of a master. For it trives to the prisoner every possible advantage, while it gives him the full benefit of his lezal defense. It cuts off from the prosecution all that evldnce which goes to couuect the prisoner w ith the assem blage on the island, to explain the destination andobjeots of the assemblage, and to stamp 'beyond controversy the character of treason upon it." .., 'The "master" alluded to by Mr. Wirt was doubtless the. prisoner at' the bar, who was throughout that long and splondul oisplay, on both sides, ot masterly manugenient, leaal acu men, and forensic eloquence, the inspiring and controlling spirit of the defense For we remem ber that in the report of the trial taken In short hand by Robertson, it was Burr w ho first an nounced to the Court objection to the introduc tion of the' collateral testimony. I The discussion which arose upon .the motion lasted a weei.. All the counsel employed spoke at length. Wickham owned; Uandolph followed on tho tame side: Mcltae and Wirt replied for the prononvtion. Botu came next ior the ac cused; Lee and Martin spoke in turn; aud Ran dolph closed the argument of nearly live hundred printed octavo pages. The English language nowhere oilers such a full aud perfect exposition of the law oi treason. The Chief Justice, in the bea-'nning of his long opinion, alludes to the cose ol Bollman, decided tn tue hupreme Court, aud said: "Some gentlemen have argued as If the Sit preme Court had adopted the whole doctrine of the English books on the sublet ot accessories to treason. : But certainly, such la not the fact. Those only who perform a part, and who, are leagued In the 'conspiracy, ro declared to be traitors. . To complete the definition, both cir cumstances must concur. They must perforin a part which will furnish the overt act-,' and they must be 'leueued in Iho conspiracy.' The person who comes within this description, In the opinion ot the Court, levies war." The Chief Justice further commented on the opinion of the Supreme Court which hp had so recently drawn up, aud extracted from it the prorosifon that, whef e a body of men are assem bled for the purpose of making war against the (fovernmcut, and are In cond.iiou to make that wary fie assom blase is an act of levying war, iiud, therefore, ceither arms nor application ot lorce or violence to sensible opiects are niais pensably necessary to constitute that ollens. , These preliminary and side points disoosod of, Judce Marshall came to the pivot of the ques tion submitted, which was, whethi r an Indict ment charging Burr with levynur war on Blen nerhassett's Island, and containing no overt act, could be supported, and Jurisdiction of tho i.ircuit court in Virginia sustained, Dy yrooi that war was levied at that place by other per rons, in the absence of the prisoner in another circuit, even admitting those pewons to oe con nected with him in one common conspiracy. It will bo noted how completely the inquiry covers the cafC of Jeffarson Davis. That is to say, could indic tments respectively charging Davis with lovying war, either in the District of Columbia, juaiyiana, or Pennsylvania, anu con taining no other overt acts, be supported, and the jurisdiction of the Federal courts'Tn cither of those circuits, supported, by proof that war was levied in those places ry an army unuer general direction or Davis, who remained all tue wntie In Richmond. Mo analysis can do jusiico to the keen logic and comprehensive grasp with which tue cuioi Justice reached a conclusion in the negative, and the oniniou is too long lor rmblieation in full. We can only give the concluding sentences of this able Judicial exposition or the American law ot treason:-" ' 1 be present indictment charges the prisoner with levvioar war against the United States, and alleges an overt act ol levy mi war. that overt act must be proved, according to the maatlatfts 01 Hie Consti tution and ot tho act ot Coimes. bT two witnesses. It is not proved by a siuylo witness. The prosouce of the accu-ea has been stated to be an essential com ponent part of the ovort act In this indictment, unices Ihe common law principle reitpectiug acoes soi ios shou'd render it niineccesarv ; and there Is not only no witness who has proved his actual oi legal presence, but ihe fact ot bis absence isnotcoutro- vericu.

Ihe Constitu tion and the aw rttiuire that the luou should be established bv two witnesses, not bv the esiablithmvnt ' l.if other facts from wl ich ihe juiy might reason to this fact. Tl e testimony, then, is not relevant. It' it can bo introduced, it is on y in the cliaraotcr of corrobora tive or coniirmatarv testimony, attor tho overt act has been proved oy two witnesses, in such manner that the question oi lact ought to bs kf' with tho juiy. Ihe conclusion that, in tins s:nte of things, no testimony csn be adnns-'ib e, is so luevitaiilelthut the counsel lor tho I'mtea States could not resist it. I do not understand them to deny that, if the overt act Lo not proved by two witnesrei, so as to be sub nutted to tho jilrv.all o hor tebtlinony must be irrele vant, Docsuie no otnev testimony can pr .ve tne act Now, an assemblage on 15 enuorha aett's Island is croved bv tho requisite numbor of witnesses ; aud the Court miht ouimit it io the jury whether that assemblage amounted to the levying of war; but the pretence of the accused at that assemblage being nowhere aucred, except ia the indictmeut, the overt act is not proved t a single witues; and, ot couse ouence. all other testimouv must he irrelevant. The only diil'erenoo t.etwcon this motion as made ana the motion in the lorm which the counsel tor tho United btate.t would admit to be regular is this: it is not geutral lor tho rejection of alt testimony. It Biifht be particular with re-peot to each witness asauduced. But can this bo wished? Or can it be deemed necessary t If onongb be proved to show that the indictment cannot be supported, aud that no testimony, unless it tie ot that Uescriotion which the attorney for the Uui ed Sla'cs declares bimae.f not to possess, can be relevant, why should a ques tion be taken on each witness? . The opinion of this court ou the order ot testimony has1 frequently been adverted to as deciding this question against the motion.. It a contradiction between the two opinions exi-t. thi courr cannot perceive it. It was said that levy ing war is an act compounded of law and i act, of w men tue jury aiaea uy iu cui rv iuuji juuku. in that declaration the court still adheres. ' It was said that if the overt not were not proved by two witnesses, no tusnmony in its nature cor roborative or confirmatory was admissible or cou'd be relevant. i ; Ftom that declaration there Js certainly no de parture. It has been abked, in allim'su to the Dresont ease, if a general commanding an army should detach troops lor a distaut service, would tho wen composing that detachment De traitors, ana would the commander-in-chief escape punishment? Let the opinion which has breuyiven answer this Question. Annearinar at tho head oi an army wou cl, according to ton opinion, be an overt act in levying war. Deaching a military cons for milliary purposes, must also be an overt act of levying war. It is not pretended that he would not be pun ishable for these acts. It is only said that be may be tried and convicted on Ids own ae's, i the State whore those acts were committed, not on the acts of otbeis in the btate wbete those others acted. . . We are at a loss to understand how any 'per son of learning and ability," familiar with the doctrines of criminal law expounded by Federal ludees. and recoenizins the limited territorial jurisdiction of the Circuit Courts, could claim . i . T ... i . i l n ....: .1 tnat. jcuerson uuvis can uo lemwy i-uuviracu ui treason in every judicial, district into which his army penetrated.

T Land of this Company consults of 120 Acres, In 1 ccklenburg county, Jsorth Carolina, 3h miles from tho town of Charlotte, on a branch of Sugar Creek, which stream iurnifhes good water-power lor grinding the ores, This Mine was first opened In 1838 by a man named Car' son, who worked It successfully lor a number of years Tie died In the town of Charlotte, in IMS, worth over hah a million dollars. 'two shafts have been snnk on this property, one of thim feet, the other CO feet, on different veins. averaglrg tiom two to three feet In thickness, which veins stilt continue on down increasing In width and richness. These shafts are in good order, and ore can bo readily taken ( ut at any time. Other veins have been discovered on this property, ai.d teated, and proved 1o be very rich In gold. The ores of this mine are known as the brown ore. and very rich, yielding readily 91 per bushel. This Is believed to be one of the best and most certain mines in the State, on account of the abun dance and quality oi the ore, ana the ease with which it is obtained and reduced. This property has been worked by Major Z. A. Grler from 1810 to the breaking out of the war. This Company have purchased this property, and Intend to erect machinery and put the mines in Immediate opeiatlon. The many advantaged of this mine over the mines ot Colorado and Nevada can hardly be estimated. lt.ls more readily reached, and hoslabundance of fuol, with cheap labor. It can be worked all theyear, and not, as in the case of Colorado and Nevada, be compeiied to He id e for three or four months In consequence of the severity of the winter. This mine having Lecn worked tor a long time, proved to be s rich paj Ing one. AVe do not, thereiore, have tq incur the risk there is in an undeveloped property, but can count on large and Immediate returns on the invest ments, II aving an ore that read! y yields ton doilars pet bushel, iomo estimate can be mads of the value of this property. With the present Imporfeet system of mining In this locality, and absence ot proper machinery, ten tons ot this oie can be taken out dally from every shaft opened. Estimating, say niteen busbe's to the ton, the daily yield will be niteen hundred dollars from one shaft, allowing three hundred dollars per day for expenses. The net product will be '1200 per day; counting 300 working days to the year, the yearly proceeds will be 30,000 which yield can be largely increased by extending the works. This is considered a very low estimate of the capacity of this mine by experienced miners of that locality. The Aseayer of the United btate Mint at Charlotte, in speaking of this property, says It has few equals in productiveness in that country, and with proper management and machinery the above product can be doubled.
