Six The undersigned have the honor to sub ai tshe following report: * Immnediately after our appointment, we pro ceeded to the'district of Cordora, in the State of Vera Crex,- for the purpose of exandi-ig the leads in that district owned by the Government. We have Yisted and examined the haciendas Nnd lands la said district mentioned in the decree of 5th Sepegaher, 1865. Tley are-situated upon the amneteenth parallel 4e'oth hisitude, upon a plain which descends hom ther regioh of perpetual, snows, and within twentr4lve or-thiriy miles of the snow-capped peak of 4rizaba. The altitude of this plain is about 2,8541 feet above the level of the sea, giving a efimzate which is positively. delight ful, where it - is metertoo warm to wear cloth :ciothes sad to use.p tinder a blanket with comfort, aed rarely ~d enough to wear an overcoat. We are in -formed by intelligent persons who have hived in tbe-ountry for many years, that the. ytreme - veaiationa of the thermometer will not exceed tweary degrees. Tua soil is extremely fertile and highly produc gre, aboundinag in every varietT of troiciat fruit, and af the Sinest quality. Yieldimg under the pres'est imperfect system of' cultivation large crops of(cora, baidey, rice,-tobacco, sugar caue and oo&e, with almost every variety of vege table; shile the portion of the lands nearest the coast prod.sces heavy crops of cotton of an ex cellent quality.. Under a proper system of' culta vation, we are eatisfied that these lands may be made to proddrce -qual- to any that we have ever seen.. We ft dnabiogany,. cedaar, oak and other valuaby timber in the forest,. while the orange, lemon, lime,.ft, guaya'a and vacila grow luxu riantly in tha-woods. These lands are, in *our opinion, adaptedto the purposes of cOolnization. Consider1ing soil,. climate, location and variety of crops, we know of no better, if, indeed, we have ever seen so desirable a country for agricultural pursuits. Some of them lie upon and all in-reach- of the railroad from Vera Cruz to the city of Mexico, the most distant being within twelve miles of the road and about seventy from the city of Vera Cruz,. and from fifreen to t wenty miles from Passo' del Machio, to which point the road is now in operation. . We are assured by the people of the country that t wo crops of corn c-an be raised ,upou the same bands ea year, and, from what we have seen we are satisfied that the custom of the coun try is to raise a crop of corn and a crop of to bacco on the same land, the- corn ripeni.ig before the usuad time for tobacco planting. Ce is extensively and profitably cultivated n thte inmmsdiatO,vicinity of these lands. The xcellent qualily ofI the coffee grown here in time past gires.it high rank 'n the coffee markets of ~ ,..,t,;.,.~,nn nf' the caffee crop is I-mmlediately upor seeing these imnnigratts furnished with lands, we %%ill proceed to the ex amination of Zougolica and Jalappa lands, upon which we hope to be able to report very soon. Respectfully submitted, I. G. HARRIS, STERLIN-G PRICE. JOHN PERKINS. C4=DovA, November 14, 1865. - - - W - The Preuident and the Great Movement of thePeople. The masses have commenced that great mvte ment which is destined to sweep from our tracf< all the dangerous facti6ns and elements that have threatened to overwhelm the Constitution and the catse of Republican libW . A leader has Rppeared, who is not unknown, uctrivd, inexpe rienced man-who is no mere adi?enturer, and who is not lacking in nerve. That leader is An drew Johnson, the President of the U,ited States. He has flung his banner to the breeze, and on it are inscribed the Constitution, the Uriion,- the restoration of the Sotithern States and their rep. resentation in Congress. Under this- leader, a great revolution (peaceful in its charactei, w6 hope) commenced, when the bill extendfg the powers of the Freedmen's Bureau was vetoed. The great mat meeting held in Washington, on Thursday, ina 3gurated the sublime conservative popubtr mrvement that will confirm the incendi ary Pennsylvania leader in the belief that he has been struck by an "earthquake". At the ad journment of the meeting the vast concourse, proceeded to the President's mansion and were addressed by the President. This great popular movement has thus, in its incipiency, received its inspirations and direction from the head of .he nation. The President evidently feels that the country is in danger-that the bold, bad men v:ho are arrayed against it muEt be put down, and that the extraordinary occasion de mands that, passing over the ordinary ceremo ials of official interchange, he s'all place him sef in immediate communication with the people. The sn'eecb dclivered by the President was even nore devided thait any heretofore made by him. He proclaimed his opinious and his pohey wi4h ut reserve, and manifested a vigor, energy and determination that will remind the country of the stern chara teristics of old Hiekorv. He paid his respects to some of the Jacobin leaders by name, and denounced them with unmeasured se verity-Suminer, Stevens and Wendell Phillips. Re said that the Southern rebellion had been put down, and that the rising re.-ellion in the North must also be put down. He pledged himself reso lutely to protect the people, the Constitution,and the Union against all traitors. A popular gathering was called, on the same day, in the city of New York, to be addressed, it is said, by Mr. Seward, Postmaster General Denison, Hon. Mr. belany, o''Ohio; Hon. Green Clay Smith, of Kentucky; Hon. U. J. Raymond, of New York, and others. The long list of names signed to the call is headed by the name of Wil liam CuIlen Bryant. General Grant, it is said, will manifest his approval of the n-eeting by his resence. The ball is now in motion, and meet ngs will, doubtless be held at all pro-ninent oints throughout the North, with the object of mstaining the President. It is gratifying tio ob erve that the great movement thus inaugurated s altogether free from a partisian ea-t amnd harater. It is a movement of the people, which, to be thorough and successful, must be mhampered by old party differences or tram nels. W bether the South shall join actively in this novement, or stand by a silent but profoundly ntereted observer, will more clearly appear as he movement progresses. For the present, at east, her policy is that of modest, unobtrusive ;ilence. She should, however, keep her eyes pen -;o passing events, and, if an opportunity for. wiping the President offers, she should render um all the assistance in her power.-Carleston Yews. Washington News. One of the incidents connected with the Sena trial vote upon the Freedmen's Bureau Bill now oing the rounds with infinite zeet. is the inter st exhibiied by Senator Reverdy Johnson in esponding .0 a telegram apprising him that the ritical vote was immineut. The honorable entleman was sojourning in Baltiarore at the ime of his notificatior., but immediately put him self en~ route for the capital on a locomotive and ender, which performed the distance of forty iles in forty-one minutes. Not one of the wadi al phalanx could have guessed whent Mr. John son entered the Senate chamber, with about hirty minutes to spare, that he had takeui so ex dierating a ride for she exipress purpose of con ributing his very import.ant mite towards de The radiea,la like the veto so well that they are preparing for another. The negro suffr-age al,.,passed by tbe House some time ago, was r oted iu the Senate to-day without amendment, wud tlie radicals intend to urge its immediate pasage. The radicals may pass as many bills of this kind as they please, but the President will eto them as fast as they are laid before him. A t the instigation of the radrcals, the flags on the negro school-houses have becn draped in rape to.day, as a symbol of mourning over the efeat of the Freedmen's Bureau Bill There seems to be no doubt that there will be t speedy re-or-ganization olf the Cabinet,' in con equence of the PresidenXs veto. Mr. Seward, wo gentle!nen frotua Southern States, and either everdy Johnson or Senator Cowan, of Penn ylvania, will have seats in the new Cabinet. How Tmses WoRic.-The veto of the Presi ens is the absorbing subject of comment in very section of the country ; and although pre ited by some, a,d a&icipated by many, it has allen with the sprprise, and something of the efect, of a coup &c etat. In Congress the effect wassunnng. Mr. Forney, ambitious, apparent y, of being considered. the chief cook in the kit-. hen oabinet, and who, agort time ago, pre dicted that fhe President would not veto the bill, now complain-' that t.he patriots of the coun try should iave been kept inl ignorance of his intentions. Mr. D olittle, who, though of the Radical party, sustained the Weto, proposes to obviate the President's objiections in another bill. Mr. Stevens, goaded even heyond his con stitutional phrenzy, purposes still to run the Con gr-essional m:schine in the manufacture of more bills, under the gag of the previous question; without the hope, however, to -him or any of his Radic-al associates, that they can be so manufac tured as to receive the imprimatur of Executive approval. In New York a salutz of a hundred gus was fired in honor of the- ccasion ; and the Rev. Henry Ward-Beecher, at the Gboper Insti ute, in one of the convenient eccentricities of his genius, appr ved the veto, denounced the demands of further guarantees from the South, ridiculed the idea th .t we loved them, or could be expected to love them, as a condition >f resto ration, and declared that having labored twenty years for the abolition of slavery, be would now labor twenty years longer, if necessary, to re store the Union. T he World and News are 3u bilant; the Times complacent ; and the Tribun-e, too savage to be coherent.-harlestonl C'ourier. NEW Yoar BaLs.-This winter has been the witness to some of' the most magnificent and ex travagant public festivities everseen, we suppose, in the world. We bave never read of such in anciets or modern times. Everything that eius and art could devise to .promote senic disphiy a.nd brilliancy was employed with the most lavish expenditure. -We read the accounts of them not without apprehension. Such excess es have too ofte:i matrked the' eras. of great ca lamities for mankind. - One of these balls was a maskied affauir. The maskers danced till 12 o'clock, and ihen dropped their disguises-when lo and behold l the most embarrasa.ng situations wer- developed.

The gente m-nlv agents will please accept our thanks for late favor rendered. THE END OF THE REBELLIN.-There is a significant paragraph in the speech of Mr. Seward, Secretary of State, and that is in relation to the forthcoming proclamation of President Joson, announcing that the war was at an end, and that the present Freedmen's Bureau bill woulJ .cease one year after steb proclamation. The Richmond Whig say- that upon the putting forth of such a proclamation, martial law and military rule will cease in these St.aes, the privilege of the writ of haheas corpus will be restored, and the people will be remitted to civil tribunals of their own creation for the ascertainment and protec'ion of their rights. This, for the reason that the law of Congress authorizing the suspension of the privi lege of that great writ, confers the power on the President only "during the existing rebellion." With the supremacy of civil authority once more, and the privilege of self-government in all State affairs again enjoyed by the people of the South, the action of Thad. Stevens' Obstruction Committee becomes a matter of comparatively sligh t importance. .We have other information, that as soon as Texas, in her Convention, complies with the con ditions of his restoration policy, he will issue his proclamation to the effect above announced. The South is just nOW the princIpal market for Western produce. The Cincinnati Gazette, of Thursday, says : "Tbere is no longer room for complaint on the score of railroad freights Eastward. The Penn slvania Central knocked the rates to-day, on fourth class, from seventy-five cents down to* forty-five cent s per hundred pounds to New York. Even at 'his reduced figure, there is very little to be had. The fact is, the surplus produce in this market is held to supply the Southern de mand, which is growing much heavier than was anticipated, and hence nr-ices are nearly as high hers na in New Yor k. This is especi-illy true as regards hog products. Tnlere a, therTo1'e, mut litle Eastward bound freight 'to be had at anyI price, and as the railroad. eompanies are having a fir business in WestwardI freights, they prefe: to carry Eastward at low prices to hauling empty The cs.New Orleans correspon dent of the Cairo Democrat says that on Friday evening week Mr. John Overall was about :o give a lecture on the Life and Character of the late General Stonewail Jackson. There wats a large attendance, as the proceeds were for the benefit of Mrs. Jackson and children. A bout the time it was to co m mence an ollicer ranking as Captain stepped up and told him he could not deliver the address without some severe restrictions in reference to the General's campaigns. Mr. Overall declined delivering it at all, and asked the Captain to mount the stand and make his statement to the audience. This he declined doing, and the mat tr was compromised, that the Captain should take i seat and report an'ything objectionable, which he did. The address was de1ivered. "FarisH" COs-ro!. RevDvE.-A correspondentI of the Baltimore Gazette, writing from Pleasant Hill, Alabama, says : The free negroes of this& neighborhood have already advanced in civilization by establishing an "ism" of their osti in the way of religion, the principal features of which are a plurality ot fives, and the r evival of the Fetish custom of dancing over the graves of their departed friends. Also, what they term the "holy dance"~ is one of the essential elements of' their worship on all oc casions. You know my brother built a church and hired a minister to instruct his negroes, but he has had to discontiue his labor for the want of hearers. FnoM THE PAcwlo CoAs.-The winter on the Pacific coast has been unusually severe. Comn muniation'with Montano has been cut off by the great d1epth of snow,'and it is said that 'two hude ormons, on the way to that Territory, are 1nown to have per'shed. Accounts from the Northwest represent the season to be very severe all through that section- Instances of entire families freezing to death are recorded. One~ man perished within two rods of his house. Gen eral Steele has been assigned to the command of the Department of Colunithia. The Gold-diggiiig excitement is ratring in British Columbia. LauRss RAtua.-The Directors have under ad.isement a proposi'tion made to them to lease the road. It is said that the road will be leased for twelve years, the lessee to give the directors -five thousand dollars annually,- after the first three years, and be compelled to run the road regularly and turn.jt over at the end of the lease to the company in good -repair. Everybody is anxious that the road should he kept up, on any terms. Without the Railroad, the town of Lau rens will perish by decay and dilapidation. Give us the road.-Laurensville Herald. A Northern paper say a gentleman just re turned from Richmond reports that the military orders prohibiting the wearing of the gray, adorned with Confederate buttons, in that city, Iis being strictly carried out. One of' the weap n carried .by the patrol is a formidable pair of hears, which are brought into requisition when ever any unreconstructed rebel in .gilt buttons makes his appearance on the street. SEZED.-We learn that seventy or eighty bales of cotton, stored at .Pendleton, have been seized by the Federal authorities. Much of it is sea island, valued at from $1 to $2 per pound. The Federals claim that it is "Confederate" cot ton, whilst those who were in possession main ti that it is private property.-Keowee Courier, 24th instant. IGNoRANCE OF SCRWrlURE.-A Northern jour nal says that the pastor of a fashionable city church having spoken of Solomon's -Song as a production of great genius and beauty, a gentle man belonging to the church called during' the week ait a leading music store to get a copy of LOCALm m. Comany -, 5th Regular Cavalry, commanded by Serpant DonMlly, passed through Newberry last Siday, en route to Auderson.. It was a fine lookin;body, hands6mely mounted and equipped. SA.-DAY.-tm dull trade of a week back took alively and healthy turn on Monday last, an unsual number of farming citizens being on hand. We are pleased to see that there is a lit tle rmaey still in circulation, and goods still in demar. Sales at auction, comprised a variety of proerty, mules, horses, furniture, cotton seed, real eate, etc., at fair prices. An pportunity not to be overlooked, and one that w.l not be offered soon again is now pre sentedn our advertising colums. Physicians, druggits'and others can lay in a supply of drugs, medices, instruments, etc, at the first and old timje cat and carriage, by visiting the old stand of Wi:iams & Perguson, Vollohon Row. This stock rill certainly be closed out in this:way, and at a sarinr to purchasers of from 50 to 100 per cent. SPRNG Tix's COMING.-The near approach of this bautiful season, the advent or resurrec tion a floral life and vegetation-when blue-birds mate r.d lovt;rs hie them to their trysting, sur round,d with "sunshine, beauty and song"--is heraldd by several days of lovely weather. Sat urdaylast was a charming day. A genial sun diffusel its rays through a bright and balmy at mosplLre : the gentle sighs of murmuring winds were prfumed with the fragrance of early flow ers ; ihile the first note of the mockbird's min strelsylent a pathos to the hour. The sun went down b glory and the twilight and the gloaming were mrapturilng. Meanwhile the waning moon uprose in beauty o'er the scene, inviting memo ries of the happy past. "Flasnd by the spirit of the genial year, Now f-om the virgin's check a fresher bloom Shoots, less and less, the live commotion iound; Her lis blush deeper sweets; she breathes of Youth ; The slining moisture swells into her eyes, in briuhter flow ; her wishing boson heaves With palpitations wild; kind tumults seize Her reins, and An her yielding soul is love." THi CoscaT.-Prof. Schmitt's concert on Wednesday night was a perfect success, and as we hoped and predicted the court house was full, rammed, with the fashion and intelligene of Newberry, numerously besprinkled, (almost too much so for comfort and quliet) with little dar lings, sereral of whom thank heaven fell early in the fight,and were carried off to dream of musi al angels in the shape of the professor and as sistants. Sweet little dears how they did appre iate Ithose grand pieces from the old masters, particularly the Aus der Jugendzeit Waltz, Ca liph of Bagdad, &c. Verily, verily,, "music hathi chaitms." 'But the little folks were not the whole audince, the scientific handling of the 'bow' by Prof. Schmitt and the splendid timing of Miss Ana's exquisite accom.paniments charmed the cultiated musical ear. The wonderful profieien y of Miss Anna is a proud satisfaction to her raner,'Takieastirilo~h bWnUipThnr closing performance by the minstrels exceeded anti'ptlon, it was capital; the amusing songs, lively music and jokes of Bones, Pompey, John son and company, gave everybody a side ache to take home with them. Concert No. 2, 'of the Minstrel Band was a success, and came off with greatt edlaf. Bornes, Popey and Johnson were, as usual, felicitous, while the rest of the corps displayed great pro iciency. The "ladieR" of the troupe were ex ceedingly graceful, and lent th.eir- ch'arms with beconing modesty. The orchestra performance was 'all that could have been desired. NOT fI THE BILL-The' side periurmances of the Concert on Wednesday evening, not inchaded in the programme should have a brief mention, it would be a slight not to notice them. We al lde particularly to the little boys the five, six and seven year olds and upwards. What a rack e, what an, we are almost tempted to say, infer nal'din they kept up, squealing, mewing1 barking, crowing, whistling, incessantly, continually, with every other kind of noise known to the young imps of mischief. And then that party immedi ately round the door, a nice little "tea party" to be sure, how entertaining they were. T&e per formance would have been ta-ne, dull, but for their loud eloquence. That portion of the audi ence who sat up high un fortunately missed this latter part, y bile those low down got considerably more than the worth of their money. It will be seen that Messrs. Pratt & Wilson Bros., have established in the city of Charleston, an Importing and Manufacturing Drug House, and in bespeaking for their new entierpi hse, the favorable consideration of the Druggists, Mer chants and Pbysicians of thedSouth, they desire to dirct the attention of the' public to the fol lowing facts: . 1st. Their's is the only establishment of the kind south of Philadelp . 2d. The proprietors are ihative Georgians, 'and two of them well and widely known Chemists. 3d. They intend to build up in Charleston a centre of trade in their line of business, where Physicins and Druggists may supply themselves with every article of a complete cuitfit ; Artiste with the material for their various professions ; and merchants and citizens generally, with all those articles which legitimately belong to their department of business. 4th. With their facilities for direct importa' tion, and their arrangements in process of com pletion for manufac'.uring and warehousing, they are enabled to offer to the trade, rates wihich will compare favorably-with New York prices ; and Iare determined to make it to the initerest of all, to trade with them rather than in the northert market. AN oW DIsEASE.--ur attention has been call ed to notice the breaking out of an old disease, which has 'ltely ssumed' a- violence - truly alarng, and which we freely and candidly con fess will, be most serious if its further pro gress is not stayed.

A lamentable mental bal. lucination possesses the mind that the mer chant, mechanic, loctor, editor, &c., have learn ed how "to labor and to wait" on them, because I they are perfeetly good for the small amount; that the knowledge of their exceeding goodnest and liberality will replenish the merchant's stock, feed, clothe, &c., the one and the other ; that their oily promises will grease a pot of greens, furnish a pone of bread, and find the baby in shoes. The spread of this unfortunate malady ,, much to be deplored. Dissolution of Co-Partnership-Wiskeman & Rin. Dissol,aion of Co-Partnership-Grierson & Walter.

That in this city was triumphant That at Washingtoo, equally entbusiastie, was even more significant, for there the President hinsell uttered "thcughts thit breathe and words that brun." That ffortof wi.domand patriotism will secure for hi:n the gratitude of I his own country and the approbation- of the world. When ihis wonderful spceh has been attentively read and digested by the Ameri can people, Pre,ident Johnson will. be as firm ly established in tbeir confidence and affee tions as the most popular of his predecesors; The H-erald savs Andrew Johnson has taken up the gauntlet which the Jacobins in Congress have flung down. The "man att the other end-of Ithe avenne" has shown his appreciation of Thai. Stevens and his radical clique by the bold and uncom promising nmanner in which he denounced themi bv~name, in his speech in Washington, on the 22d, as traitors and revolutionists, Hie took plain issue with them in honest and ho nely words. He stands for the Constitution and the Union. His enemies he deolares, are working ot another rebellion. The country, we opine will sustain the President in this view. 'On thel whole, President Johnson's speech is bold, manly and outspoken. More hold than anything which Mr-. Lincoln ever prounonceed, it is not less- redo lent of wit. It is not as classical as Somner, as ornate as Phillips, nor as evenly b-abaned in' its sentences as Seward, but it posses the sterhug qualities of franknees, tcouragme and' truth. It i-a, in~ fact, a speech suited to the muau -and to the1 TheNew thus comments: The name-of Andrew Johnson is upon thelips of the people in accentisof delight and admiration. Never, perhaps, in thet history of our country have the wjards of any one man-sent such a 'thrill of hope and satisfaction through the popblar heart as those brave' words of deBance that the Pr' sident, on Thmsda. flung in the teeth of the ra<dical conspirators.

R xE CANcR:-Dr. Brandini ,inFloreDe4 has recently discovered~that citric acid will as suage the violent pain which is the usual con coitant of cancer. One of his patients, aged seventy-one., at the Hospital of Santa -Maria della Sala, was afflicted with cancer on- the tongue. There -was no possibility of performing an opera tion, the surface attacked being far too extenstve, investing the base, the sub.lingual, and the sub Imaxillary glaud.a. The poor inan, jn the mi.dst of his torments, aske-l for a lemon, which was' nothing very remarkable, as cancerous patients generally have an ordinary liking for acids. But the seat of the disorder being in the mouth, a circmstar'ce was observed which might .other wise have escaped attention--the juice of the lemon diminished the pain. NEWS FROM HoME.-The radicals in Washing ton are hearing from home by -every mail, and all they hear dieepens their conviction that they have nmade a great 'aistake. The people elected their represenAtives .on platforms that 'pledge Ithem to support the President and his policy, and not to follow the crazy lead of Thad].Stevens. The people do not forget, and what the radicals iow hear is the eomm- 'ement of a fire in the rear that will grow fik - t every day till they ful fil the pledges -in whica they wrere electe. [New.
