Accounts received from Texas show that re-organization is proceeding rapidly. There had been no collision whatever between the State and mili? tary authorities. . Fire in Philadelphia. PHILADELPHIA, PA., October 8.-A fire occurred here to-day, which de? stroyed the United States bonded warehouse containing 4,000 barrels o?, belonging to various parties. The loss estimated at 896,000, one-half of which is insured. ? From Tennessee. NASHVILLE, Tennessee, October 3, 1865.-Governor Brownlow- delivered his' annual message to the General Assembly to-day. He congratulates the Assembly on witnessing the ter? mination of the rebellion and the signal triumph of our arms. In re- ! gard to new subjects of legislation the wishes of the honest and loyal people of the State should be consult? ed, for they are always light. He recommends amendments and addi? tions to the franchise law; but says, "I am by no means an advocate of its repeal, nor do the loyal people of the State wish any sweeping change." The restoration of civil law has work? ed well, and prosperity is promised in every cection. , Guilty rebels should be treated-with severity^jin proportion to their offences, the mass of them with not less than len years' disfran? chisement, and the leaders with neither mercy nor forbearance. Im? migration should be fostered and en? couraged, and a commissioner sta? tioned at the East to secure a nume? rous foreign immigration of skilled labor. He says: "I am convinced that the white and colored people . Cannot live together politically or so? cially as equals." He advocates thu eetting apart of some portion of the national territory best adapted for the purpose for a nation of freedmen The testimony of negroes is recom? mended to be taken in the courts on the same basis as that of white per? sons. President Johnson's recon? struction policy is endorsed as the sole hope ai ?he country. The Grand Masonic Lodge of Ten? nessee met to-day for the first time in four ?years. Large delegations were in attendance from all parts of the State. . The Methodist Episcopal Confer- j once of Tennessee will meet on Wed- j nee day, in Edgefield. A large num- < ber of preachers are already in at- j tendance. It is expected it will be | tiie largest assembly since the war. INSURANCE ON COTTON,-A meeting of the Board of Commissioners of the Fire Insurance Companies was held at New York, on Saturday, the 30th ultimo, to consider the propriety of changing the premium on cotton in? surance. The Board decided, by a. two-third vote, to make the rate on cotton, and on other goods in stores where cotton is stored, one dollar and thirty-five cent6 on each hundred dollars, with privilege to the keepers or owners of the stores to pick cotton on the premises. Where a stipulation is made that there shsli be no cotton picking, the rate will be one per cent. The large companies will adhere to , this action, and the effect of it will be to induce owners of goods to separate their cotton?from their other mer? chandize. r- i i THE POOR WHTTE PEOPLE.-Yester? day a Radical Republican, whose sympathy for his "oppressed" African brothers and sisters never extend to his pockets, was heard to wonder what would become of the poor negro this winter? A by-stander answered his question Yankee fashion, by in? quiring, *'What will become of the poor soldiers' widows and little ones, who have been robbed of their natural protectors, and left homeless and destitutes',- The negro sympa? thiser subsidea.-Wheeling Register. Traute with Enflaad. - The London Times gives in its financial columns a statement of ex ports during the first half of the pre I sen* year, and says: . The total value of our exportations was ?74,128,638, against ?78,047.r'"r6 in the same period of 1864, show rug ?a falling off or about five per cent., I which tis, however, merely nominal, since it represents not any diminution ' of the actual industry of the country, \ but simply the reduction in the cost of ! the law material upon which that in? dustry' has been exercised. Indeed, I there is reason to believe #that the re? duction in this respect* has been on the average considerably more than sufficient to account for the difference between the respective totals, and ; that in point of actual receipts for ; work the past half year has exceeded in prosperity any previous period. At the same time, the list presents changes in the direction of our trade ? such as would forniedy have been deemed incredible in such a short in? terval. As regards, our own posses? sions, the usual steadiness is shown. The shipments to India have been larger in value than those of last year, notwithstanding the fall in prices, and in those to Australia there lias been a distinct revival. But, a^ regards foreign countries, thc remarkable fact is exhibited that the .United States have taken from us only one-half even of the amount of goods they imported in the same pe? riod of last year, and that instead of figuring as heretofore, far at the head of all other nations, they now stand considerably below Germany. "With France, dur trade, which had expe? rienced a re-action' from the first great impulse consequent on thc com 1 merci al treaty, now shows a renewe*d and very satisfactory 'increase. Tho totals for Turkey and Egypt continue large. Mexico figures for an advance of moro than fifty per cent., and the Argentine Republic and New Gra? nada, which includes the Isthmus transit, likewise each exhibit a nearly equal improvement. With Brazil, our business has been fairly main? tained, and it may be remarked that such is the growing importance of British commerce with the States of South and Central America, that it amounts in the present hst to ?3,222, 620, and is, therefore, above that either of Germany or America. Spain shows a considerable faning off. "With j Denmark likewise, there has been a decline, which is attributable to the deduction of the shipments io Schles? wig-Holstein, these being now ab? sorbed by Germany.- With Japan, there has been an extraordinary in? crease, from ?162,554 to ?704,713. An increase in the apparent trade to Greece is simply? in consequence of the transfer of the Ionian Islands. TEH NAIL TRADE.-The Pittsburg Gazelle, of Saturday, says: In consequence of the advancing tendency in the metal market, and* the increased price of labor, our iron men have been compelled to make an? other advance in the price of iron and nails. Common bar iron nails are quoted at 5??c., and lOd. to 6d. ! nails at 6>?c. The demand for both of these articles has been quite active for some time past, and nearly, if not all, of our mills have more orders than they can fill-even at the ad? vance, p It is bdt proper to remark that the advance has not yet been passed upon by the "Iron Association,'' but there is no doubt but what it will receive the sanction of that body at its next meeting, and, in the meantime, the rates above noted, we are assured, will be strictly adhered to. The police of New York have ar? rested two infamous wretches, a Dr. Grindle and a Mrs. Mary Rolfe, pro? fessional abortionists, on the charge of having, by their .hellish practices, caused the death of Miss Lucy Sagendorf, of Ulster County, New York Four women were found in Grindle's house, all enciente. Upon searching the premises, intruments were found for prodn ing abortions, and a quantity of letters from differ? ent paries m the city and out inquir? ing the terms upon which abortions would be produced. James J. Hicks, ol Buffalo, married Miss Sagendorf on her death bed. Rocen* accounts from Texas'would indicate that the military department of the Government there is under much better and more jndicious management than in. most parts of ihe South. ?There seems to be no interfemce with the civil authority as exercised by the appointees of Gover? nor Hamilton, whose .administration of nffairs is latterly giving much j satisfaction. R?dicaU B?dly WhlpH. On, the proposition for amending the State Constitution by an exten? sion of the right of suffrage to the' blacks, the people of Connecticut, on Monday last, by a decided majority, rejected this proposed amendment, j The result, so far as Connecticut is j ccncersedi is a matter o? but utile i consequence; for, had the amendment j been adopted, it would have added less than three thousand votes to the j vote of the State from its black popu? lation. But a question and a princi- j pie were involved as broad as the ! issue between the abolition radicals and President Johnson in reference to Southern "restoration, and upon this issue the result of this incidental Connecticut election is of the highest national importance. Whatever the white people of Con? necticut may think in regard to the , isolated question of extending the right of suffrage to the blacks within their borders, they have emphatically declared that this is not the time for this concession, when such concession would involve a condemnation of President Johnson's programme of Southern reconstruction. The local issue was merged in the national one, and Connecticut has voted to sustain the President in his plan of leaving the question of negro siiffrage in the South to be settled hereafter bv the several States concerned. The moral effect of this vot e of Connecticut will be very great, North and South. It will strengthen the Pr?sidant in both sections, and it will go very far to defeat tho game of the radicals in the now Congress. President Johnson is now backed in this Connecticut election by a very powerful nrgunient. He has shaped his Southern policy from the con? viction that it would be unwise and mischievous to enforce negro suffrage upon tho lato rebellious States to-day. in which the institution of slavery was abolished only yesterday ; and he may now boldly ask, am I not right in this ? If Connecticut, with a mere handful of citizens of African descent., is not yet prepared to give them the right of suffrage, relieved of slavery as she has been for more than half a century, what justice will there be in forcing this thing of negro suffrage upon South Carolina, in which her bewildered freedmen of to-day were yesterday her passive, ignorant slaves, and to the extent of more than half the population of the State ? How can the representatives of Connecti? cut in Congress vote for this test of loyalty after this vote*of weir own State against it ? These questions the abolition radi? cals will find it hard to answer. It will not avail them to plead that this Connecticut election went by default, nor will it do to argue that thia vote of Connecticut does not apply to South Carolina. The simple truth is that Connecticut has approved the course of Andrew Johnson in the South, of postponing the question of negro suffrage to a more convenient season, and this we doubt not is the gopular sentiment of all the Northern tates.- Nero York Herald, ?t?. PUT HTS" FOOT DOWN FIRMLY.-An ! exchange says:. . The President will not interfere with the action of the Southern bishops. * They may unite with the Northe? churches or not, as they please. In reply to the remonstrance of the Radicals, he stated that the Constitution was silent upon the subject. Tho President does but very little to oblige or conciliate the gentlemen who hold loyalty and devotion to the African to be synonymous. They wished him to reduce the Southern States to territories, and he refused. They wished him to appoint provi? sional governors from the loyal States, and he refused. CHURCH** CLOSBD.-According to a military order issued by General Woods, all the Episcopal Churches in Alabama are to bo closed, on ac? count of the refusal of Bishop Wilmer to order the prayer for the President to be read. The prayer has been heretofore omitted,'on the ground that the authority of an ecclesiastical council was necessary to amend the prayer according to the established facts of the day. ROBBED.-Mrs. Mary J. Zernow, ii resident of Charleston, S. C., and stopping at French's Hotel, New York, has been robbed of $1,320 in greenbacks. The chambermaid is ac? cused of the robbery. MOVEMENTS OE* COTTON.-A Cairo despatch of September 25 says 1,4.00 bales cotton passed for Cincinnati, 500 bales for Evansville, 415 bales for St Louis, and 30 balee for Boston. GEORGIA ITEMS.-Five-eighths of the Columbus factory has been pur? chased by Mr. J. Metcalf, of Nash? ville, Tenn. The remaining three eighths is owned by Mr. Clapp, one of the bid proprietors. We learn it is the intention of the parties to have the buildings erected at once, and twenty-four thousand spindles in ope? ration before the beginning of the yeer. W. Jones, tried before the com? mander of the post at Newman. Capt. Sloan, on the charge of homicide, for killing a negro, has been discharged. It was proved that the negro was an outlaw. Col. Sulivan, of Americas, shot a soldier, a few days since, who .vas getting into his vineyard. . The Colo? nel has been sent to Macon to be tried by court martial. The soldier was slightly wounded. The Savannah Herald says the po? lice have instructions to arrest all colored people found in the streets after 9 o'clock at night, unless they have proper passes from their em? ployers, stating how they are limited j to pass. . '< LOUISIANA.-A letter from Wash? ington says of Louisiana, that-r ' 'Gen. Canby's action in suspend ing tho functions of the officer who arrested the Judge at Shreveport for presuming upon the right to try of? fences against the freedmen, is fully I endorsed here, and the same privi ! leges (jurisdiction of the civil courts) ! will, I learn, be extended to all the States as soon as their courts are thoroughly organized. This is a stretch of good feeling that the States shoi?d fully appreciate, inasmuch as I the right in question could hardly be ? claimed prior to the official promul I gation of their* complete restoration." ( A FIX FOR A YOUNG GENTLEMAN. A very nice young gentleman, whose name we do not deem necessary to I ventilate, recently invested a small sum in chickens, which he undertook to take homo on the Dauphin street cars. After proceeding a short dis? tance the attention of all the passen? gers, a large proportion of whom were ladies, was called to him by one of bis purchases raising a loud and i continued cackle. In vain he tried to j quiet the bird; the ladies "tittered" and pulled down their veils; thc gen? tlemen on board "haw-hawed," and our young friend, in his ignorance of "the situation," blushed. Growing somewhat restless at being the cyno- ! sure of all eyes, he cast a look into his lap, and behold-there was an egg. He immediately quit the car and *jfcir sued his way homeward on foot. Imagine his "pheelinks." [Mobile Tribune. "NOTHING LIKE LEATHER."-The tanning mills in this State are now in full operation, and some kinds of leather cannot be prepared fast enough to meet tho want of the shoe manufacturers. Ti e tanners. are behoved to have nade large profits the last-two or th.ee years. At pre? sent they are paying high prices for materials, and we understand that hemlock bark, which is yearly becom .ing scarcer in the market, is now worth seventeen* dollars per cord in this nutrket.
