Professor S. M. McCullough and Gen. Thomas A. Harris, prominent in the rebel service, have been brought here from the coast of "Florida and lodged in prison. A gentleman locently arrived here from Florida states that David L. Yulee, ex-Senator from Florida, has been lodged in Fort Pulaski, together with Acting-Governor Allison, whose predecessor committed suicide. This informant represents that although as much cotton will not be raised as , heretofore in Florida, the corn crop is very abundant. A public meeting was lately held at Mariana to initiate measures for the restoration ot the re? lations of Florida to the Union. No delegation has yet appeared in Wash . ington on this subject. President Johnson was waited on yesterday by Messrs. James A. Jones, R. A. Lancaster, Wm. H. Haxall and J. L. Apperson, representatives ol merchants and others of Virginia, whe wished him to amend the amnesty proclamation by striking cut the thir? teenth exception-the twenty thousand dollar clause. They represented that this feature interfered with the develop ment of industry br binding up capi? tal, and in this way oppressed th* poor, and that when they endeavorec m> borrow money in the Northern o: Middle States they were at once me by the objection that perhaps tho} had over twenty thouands dollars, am if they had, the accommodation coule not be extended, so that they wen unable to give work to the poor mei who called upon them, ?fcc. The President reminded them tha the amnesty proclamation d:J no cause this distrust; it was the coin mission of treason and the violation o law tlAt did it. Tiie amnesty pro ciamatioti left these men just wher triey were before-it did not add an; disability to them. Lt the}* had com milted treason they were amenable t the confiscation law which Congres had passed, and which he, as Pres: dent could not alter nor uniend. I the amnesty proclamation he had o lered pardon to some per-on-s br. that did not injure any other person; Would they like to have the amuest proclamation removed? Would the; feel any easier in that case? A Del?gale-No; but it woul assist us very much if you woul extend the benefits of the proclam? tion to persons worth over tweet thousand dollars. The President replied that in mal iog that exception he had acted on th natural supposition that men had aie ed the rebellion according to th extent cf their pecuniary meao3. Di they not know this? A Delegate-No, I did not know i The President-Why, yes, you d< You know perfectly well it was th wealthy men of the South wh dragooned the people into secession, lived in the South, and I know ho the thing was done. Your State wi overwhelmingly opposed to secessio but your rich men used the press ar bullies and your little army to fore* tl State into secession. Take the twent thousand dollar clause; suppose am: is worth more than that, now the w is over, and the chances are ten to 01 that he made it out of the rehelli< by contracts, &c. We might as w> talk plainly about this matter. T dot think you are so anxious about relievii the poor. You want this clause remov so as to be able to make money, tloi you? ?f you are very eager to he the poor, why don't you take the si plus over the twenty thousand dolli you own, and give to them? In th way you will help them, and bri yourselves within the benefits of t proclamation. I am free to say to y that I think :jome of you ought be taxed on all over tweuty thousa dollars to help the poor. When was Military Governor of Tennessci assessed such taxes on those who h been wealthy loaders of the rohc?i ?md it btv? i owe. effect. Delegate-It so happens that none of us were leaders. We staid out a3 long as we could, and were the last to go ia. The President-Frequently those who went in last were among the worst after they got in. But, bu that as it may, understand \ne. gentlemen, T do not say this personally; I am just speaking of the general working of tho matter. I know there ha3 bec-n an effort among ?orne to persuade the people that the amnesty proclamation was injuring them by shutting up capital and keeping work lrom the poor. It does no such thing. If that is true at aft, it is done in consequence of the violation of law and the com? mission of treason. The President concluded by saying that be*would look at the papers they presented, but, so far, bad seen no reason for removing the thirteenth exception. Now that the conspiracy trial is . over and the sentences of the Military Commission are executed, there will 6oon be some definite action concern? ing the trial of Jefferson Davis. If it should be determined to try him for treason, the. proceedings will, of course, take place before a civil tribunal; but from present indications it is more probable that lae will be tried by a military commission as the leader or instigator of the conspiracy; for it is said in Government quarters there are newly discovered proofs against him in that connection. A SECRET KEPT.-A French ac? tress, whose youth and beauty ap? peared inexhaustible-on the boards never would tell her age. Of course, the moro she wouldn't tell it, the more curious peuple were to know it. A woman can't keep a secret! She kept that. By good luck-as the multitude i thought-she was summoned a* a witness on a trial. Tho gossips rubbed their bonds and chuckled. 'Alia! we shall know it now. Sim must tell, or go to pri?oti for contempt of court. ' She won't yo to prison; she will, there : fare, tell.' The court was crowded \ i with open-eared listeners. lu French ! i courts of justice, thc witness does not stand in a box to give evidence, but ; sits on a stud in the middle of the j door of the court, in Iront of the pre- . I indent's desk, and with no barrier or ! i separation between it and himself. The ! ! lady was ushered in, raised lier right j i hand to heave'), took the oath to speak j ; the truth, and t : ic n sealed herself on \ j tho witness stool. 'Your name?* asked i the president. 'Angelique Toujours ! Henrie.'- 'Your profession?' 'Artiste j j dramatique.' 'Your age?' You might j i have heard a pin drop, or the hair j j grow on the bystanders1 heads. Every ? eye was bent on the lady, ^he was j driven into a corner at. last! Foolish Parisian public to think so! ; Angelique simply rose from her seet, walked straight up to tho president's desk, and whispered the secret in his ear. He nodded, made the entry in bis private notes, and smiling, con- j tinued the rest of his interrogatory as ? soon as she had resumed her place on j the sellette. The public retired with feelings of mingled disgust and admi? ration. The trial had lost all further interest; and the president was known to be a man of honor and gallantry, who would never let a pretty woman's cat escape from his presidential ba?. [All the Year Round. SUMMER IN AUSTRALIA.-The Aus? tralian summer, which is now over, has been the warmest on record. Feb auary 27, which would about corres* pond in point of season with the same date in our August, bas this year earned the name of ''Black Monday," ; from the fearful devastation caused by the heat. Throughout the colony of , Victoria the thermometer stood at ' 98 to 106 degrees in the sh&de, tha atmosphere was loaded with dust, i and a hot wind swept over the land, . carrying destruction with it. Fires ; burst out simultaneously over hun ! dreds of miles; forests were reduced to i ashes, crops and grass destroyed and ? houses bumed. The damage is esti I mated between two and three hun . drei thousand poun?ssterling, without ? taking into aceouut the timber con l sumed. The Victoria Parliament bab , voted .?50.000 isa p^rti;i! relief tc the .uJTcrow. Tus COTTON AND. LAHOR QUES? TIONS IN.GEORGIA.-A lei ter received hy the Collector of th? Pow. of Now York from a prominent merchant in Ma?on, Coorgia, says: I have just returned from a lourney of some GO miles down cue s-uie our river ami up tile other, ami was very glad to find that but few fields wei o abandoned on account of th.? emanci? pation of ti:e negroes-comparatively but few.negroes were absent from their former owners; in that case their places were supplied hy white laborers just relieved from the army. A very large number of negroes after the emancipation order was promulgated dill leave their horries, and having visited our city ami 'seen the elephant,' have returned, and when allowed to stay have gone quietly to work. IL? most cases the former owners have stipulated with the negroes to give them either wages or a portion of tho ciop. In all my journeys through the thousands of acres of rich cultivated lands on both sides of thc river I saw but very little land in cotton culture, but I believe that in another season, if we are let alone, and not trammeled with Government restrictions of master and servant, letting each adapt itself to the new order of things, and regu? lating itself, and with wholesome State laws to restrain the negro to his labor, and the master to pay the laborer his dues, in that case, notwithstanding the depressed feeling of our planters, that we will make nearly half of our usual crop of cotton. LATEST WHISKEY DODGE.-The following 'loyal' mefhod of avoiding a loss cn whiskey, without seeming to defraud the Government, has just been invented lu New York city: A, isa distiller, and holds 100 bar? rais of whiskey,on which the tax (two dollars per galion) has not, been paid.

GERMAN V.-The Secretary of th? Ohio Agricultural Soeiety, who is MW travelling in Ger mane, in his last letter to tho Colum? bus Journal, titus speaks of the waged of labor in thc Kingdom of Saxony: 'Tlie farm laborer now pets 15 to 20 grochens ('.\7 1 2 to 50 cents) per day, and the women get 8 to 10 grochens (20 to 2? cents) per day. Women and dogs perform a vast amount of labor here; you will find everywhere on the streets and in the country a woman and a dog harnessed to a wagon, loaded heavy enough for a horse. All over Germany, from Hol? stein here to Saxony, I have seen more women than men at work in the fields, and doing the severest kind of drudgery. The men are employed in mechanical pursuits, or else are in the army.* That was a good joke on a young and gallant Hoosier officer, who on receiving a note from a lady, 'request? ing the pleasure of his company' at a party to be given at her house, on the evening designated, took his volunteers and marched them to the young lady's residence. When it was explained to him that it was himself alone who had been invited, he said, 'By golly, the letter said company, and I thought the lady wanted to see all the boys.' An Eng]i?h clergyman was lately depicting before a deeply interested audience the alarming increase of in? temperance, when he astonished his hearers, bv exclaiming: 'A young woman in iiiy neighborhood died very ?suddenly last Sabbath, while I was preaching tb?
