the most singular utterance that has ever

before baa a President deemed it wise U>
attack th? representatives of the people
with Kuch accusations and epithet* a>
a.iound in tins speech. If the ?' body " i
which has been "hanging on the veig?
u. the Government" is not a Cougres*.
with all the powers given to the Senat*
and House of Representatives by th?
- Constitution, why has the President re
cognized, its legitimacy bj signing 1>UK- :
passed by it? 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 second pa. a
graph is not only illogical and absurd,
but incendiary.
The "humble individual" who mad.
these remarks to bis pytizana complaint
of reoperation and anase, yet he say>
Congress "assumes and pretends" to be
for Union, when in reality they are for
disruption and anarchy; thtt they legislate
lot revenge, and totalization; and by
inference, that they are tyrants andj

rjurv we are "sure that 'they will. see in
this speech only the utterance of spleen

bad enough wisdom in it to commend
itself to the 'people of the North,

has been so little of law and au;

or five years, that among the baser portion
pf the n^proea there seems to have
arisen an entire disregard of justice. The

the two months cf its existence'to be
what was needed. It has inspired a large
body of negroes with more manliness

they could display. We are happy to

VtisaiFOTo*, Augunt 20.
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.

The CJotton C-rop.
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. Want
>f care in th^ selection of seed and poor
cultivation have produced this resold
B^The Newbern (N. C.; Thrift we consider
to be one of cur moot welcome exchanges.
There in so much fajjraess and
generosity in its discussion* that we are
always pleased to see it in our sanctum.
From its appearance we judge that it
receives the support which it so well
merits.

We find iu a liite number of the bhurch

interest on " The Anthem DiOoescH and

Council. Si jh the Journal:
' ypt one has poh?ed the subject lit.
Xot on* has itiled to treut it in a Calm,
earnest. affectionate spirit, with a .lull
and open declaration ol the duty imposed
opon them by the Providence of God to
make that Held the fiist ami greatest object
ol their labors lu the cause of missions."
These are food words. The Editor
adds:
"There was bot one voice in regard to
the good conduct of the colon d people
during the war. In ni*?y parts of thecountry
they had been leit.by thousands,
with haidly a white in in among theui,
and with white worn it aud cLildieu ufe

Yet no attempt at insurrection had any

We have wondered a little, occasionally,
why there should be no nmuy expend

wide aud hopeful a field right before u*t.
