The " body " either is 01 ! is not a Congress. By his acta the Prtsident has decided oyer and over agaii that it is a Congress.

The negro a itb him was Sambo Richardson, who also fired but without effect. Both these negroes hid taken affront at the pioceediug.s of th# Court, betides being in league with other rogues for stealing cotton. Mo further trouble is apprehended if the Canrt .cau be sustained, as the feeling of a large majority of the colored people, as well as that of all the white people, is iu its I'aVor. Several cases of disorder have followed, and oue or two quite serioua Some of the. constables of the Court have, m conn tered persecution from their frier-as because of their zeal in the support erf justice. On Saturday last, constable lKarch Aikin, of the UT. B. Fripp's" plantation, , was assaulted with an axe by a man named Rivers, and knocked sensele.se. Riven is now in jail There has been so little of law and au; thority upon the islands for the last foor or five years, that among the baser portion pf the n^proea there seems to have arisen an entire disregard of justice. The | Circuit Provost Court has shown itself in the two months cf its existence'to be what was needed. It has inspired a large body of negroes with more manliness and - independence than many expected they could display. We are happy to ntxte that ripon representing the ?&ae .to, Gen.

Tha President has issued a proclamation, declaring that the insurrection which heretofore existed in the State of Texaa is at an end, and is to be henceforth so regarded in that State, aa in the other States in which the said insurrection was declared to be at onend by proclamation of the 2d day. of April], 1866. The President, farther, proclaims that the-said insurrection k at an en&, and thsl peace, order, tranquility and ciril authority now exist- in and throughout the whole of the United States of America.

From almost every section ot theSontb our exchanges report much improved prospect for a Urge crop. All estimate* are, however, useless and unreliable. The opinion which has been growing nring the past month that the yield vould be better than had been previously supposed, has tended to keep down prices and bay era operate with great e.jwtiou and bat few sales are reported. A sale ol 15 b igs sea islands at 65 cts took place in Charleston last week. Holders here are unwilling to sell on such lerms. Sonie lots in the seed ha^re been bought in town at from eight to ten cts per pound. All that we buve seen is of' an inferior quality?short and woolly. We fear that moat of the present crop ' will be found to huve deteriorated even r'rom the poor quality of last year.
