The Conference Between the Military and Civil Authorities. Tn compliance with bia request, Mnjor-Gcn oral SICKLES, commanding this Military Dis trict, was met yesterday by Governors WORTH, of North Carolin?, and OUR, of this State, for thc purpose of having a free conference upon tho preliminary details of reorganization under thc Reconstruction Bills, says thc " Charles ton Courier " of thc 9th instant. Thc inter view was, wc understand, mutually agreeable and satisfactory. Amongst thc results at tained wc may mention tho following : Thc details of registration will bc immedi ately prepared by direction of Gen. SICKLES, and put into operation as soon as persons can bc found to act in thc capacity of registers who arc qualified under the provisions of the Supplemental Bill to do so. No elections for Municipal or Stntc officers will be hold in cither of thc States until the Conventions which arc to bo called shall have met and adopted new Constitutions. No civil officer will bc removed who faithfully dis charges h is duties. Whenever vacancies occur bv reason of tb e. uAjinuuvii ui mu n: nu re ot OtllCO, by deal li, resignation or otherwise, they will bc filled by appointments to bc me Jo by thc Governors of these States, if thc officers are of the charac ter elected by thc General Assemblies, unless special reasons to the contrary should arise, or by tho Commanding Goo oral, if they arc of tfic class elected by popular suffrage. We nra happy to learn thnt thc most pleas ant and agrecablo accord exists between thc General and thc Governors, and wc understand that it is tho desiiC of these officials to co-op erate cordially in the execution of thc laws of Congress flpon this subject. Governor WORTH has signified his inten tion to urge upon thc people and thc Legisla ture of North Carolina upon his return home the adoption of thc provisions of the Shciman and Supplemental Hills. The Appeal to the 8upreme Court. Thc State of Mississippi appeals to tho Courts to avert thc execution of the Recon struction measures of Congress. What is to bc thc effect of this application, wc arc, of course, unable to say. It has been thought that questions purely political would not bc entertained by this tribunal. Whether it does or not, wc have not much confidence in thc proceeding. Congress has thc power has control of thc army-and will pay not thc slightest attention to thc decisions of thc Court, even if they s'liall bc adverse to ?ts policy and measures. In our opinion, tho Supreme Court, nor any other worldly power can save us thc pains and labors of reconstruction, un der the recent laws enacted by Congress. THE SOUTHERN CULTIVATOR.-Tho April number of this well known agricultural jour nal contains 48 pages-34 of rending matter, mostly original. It is embollishcd with a tasteful design and ground plan of a conven ient dwelling-tho first of a series.

Foreign Emigration. Under the authority conferred upon him by the act passed at the recent session of the Legislature of this State, for tho cucourage niont of European immigration, says the "Charleston Courier, his Excellency Govern or Omi has appointed Messrs. W. J. FKR LOW, F. MELCHER* and THOMAS 1?. RYAN, Agent? of thc Immigration Bureau, and com missioned them to establish themselves in such parts of Europe as will best enable them to ' carry into successful execution thc provisions of tho act On this subject, the " New York Times" pens the following paragraph : " Out of 13,000 arrivals at this port du ring this month, less than 200 announced their intention of settling in thc South, while, on the other hand, tho Westward tide contin ues as great ns ever. Wc have no doubt that 1 this may, in a slight degrco, bo attributed to ! the small effort made by tho Southern States, I in comparison with the Western, to attract ; emigration ; but it is owing in a much larger j measure to the unsettled condition of affairs ! in the South. Free political institutions, or ' der, thc chance, for acquiring land, and the ! opportunities of labor, arc the great attrac tions to emigration, and until thc South oan offer these ns tho West offers them, emigrants will prefer the latter " Thc circular of (Jen.

Tho damago I farming interest is very heavy. Many of tl ! farmers lost thoir houses, barns, grain, ai stock. SPECIE PAYMENTS.-Tho ..YVashingfc Republican' says that Secretary McCullo thinks it will bc possible, without material disturbing the business of tho country, to i turn to specio payments within two years, ai belioves that, if ho is net interfered with, can bring gold down to 81.15 or 81.20 bofo December. fl@r* Thc Supremo Court of Alabama h decided that Mr. Lincoln's Eroancipati Proclamation did not tako effcot in that Stn uutil May, 1865. What Cien. Sickles Says. Gen. Sickles, commander of thc Second District, in a speech delivered at thc anniversa ry banquet of the Board of Trade of Charl eston, io response to a complimentary toast, expressed his views in an admirable speeeh, wherein he declared his intention, as far ns his offioial position would allow, in relation to the administration of the laws which lie has bcon appointed to soc properly executed in thc two Carolinas. Wc make the follow ing extracts from thc speech referred to : Mr. President and gentleman, I thank you for your kind expressions of confidence und commendation. Tho relation I bear to tin people of the Carolinas, while temporaril) charged with the supervision of their Gov eminent imparts additional interest and grut ideation to the honor conferred upon mc on tho present occasion, by so many persons ot consideration. 1 presume some of you nun oxpect fron me intimations of my linc o conduct. I shall not, I fear, gratify even i reasonable degree of curiosity on that subject But at all events, I may, without depnrlins from tho reserve imposed on inc by my oflioia position, and its responsibilities and duties tell you what I shall not do. First, 1 shall not, for a moment, tiling o depriving myself of thc able and cfiieTem ca operation of our old friend, Governor Orr. [Great cheering.] Nor shall I fail to nvai myself of the aid and assista nee of any otk er civil officer in South Carolina, who pei forms his duty as zealously and faithfully li 1 know Governor Orr has endeavored to dh charge his duty. [Cheers ] Gentlemen, I am sure I can add, not nnl for myself bul for every officer of thc arni of tho United States serving under my con maud, that under no circumstance will- w sanction any act of injustice, spoliation i wrong O'unniitted upon any citizen of Nert or South Carolina. Gontlciuen, I will offer to you another a surauce; you have my authority for the stat meut to capitalists, traders, to manufacture -to all who desire to embark in your agi cultural field or labor, and to all who wish i ll vost moneys in your securities ami in yoi lands-that the military authorities will < nothing tending to impair thc value of yo possessions, or to increase the risks of tho who have heretofore embarked in ctiterpri on your soil. Whatever wc can do to strengt cn confidence in your resources, and to pi moto thc material prosperity of the comme wealth, shall bc done. ? I concur heartily in the confident cxpee dons which have been expressed as to yu future. I am ?nie of those who believe tl there aro few things impossible to Americio I believe that tho civil and political misf tunes, tho disasters in trade and agricultn thc privations, hopes and discouragements j have suffered, and which would have crust! almost, any people who had not extraordiii! energies, perseverance and faith in the futu will all bc conquered by the elasticity, vjj and fortitude characteristic of tho Amern people. There is nothing ?.? tJ?? ??'??>?.>"y nouui garoona that suggests that you are exception to these traits of our coutitryin lt may not bo unbecoming in me to say, though yon would, perhaps, refrain from s ing so yourselves, that in the war which just closed, thc people of the South hi shown such resources, and the ability to ( ploy them, and such energy, and resol uti and courage, as will, if wisely directed, a mount greater difficulties than are now fore them. I will go further, and venture a suggest ill reference to your linc of aid iou. Ol' cou I shall not trespass upon the. political arel for as to tint I am as much disqualified as Excellency the Governor, though not I constitutional amendment. [Laughter.] shall abstain, as I am required to do hy duties of my position, from any allusion thc political bearing of any matter which have to consider. With this reservation, 1 me s ty to you. gentlemen, in all candor, l I one of the first duties you have to disnhi to yourselves and to your fellow-citizen* to remove all distrust as to your purpc feelings and intentions in thc future tow the colored race ; this distrust, is. in my jt mont, the main obstacles to tho cordial cc oration and good understanding of the tw? ces. Thc causes for thc existing aliena should perhaps, be looked for in the carly tory of your State and her former institut! But these arc considerations of the past do not see, from my point of view, any rc why the. undoubted identity of interest does exists, and must ever exist, between white and colored races in South Caro shall not result in their pursuing in com all the ends of society and governmen heartily and successfully as if the old roll of master mid slave had never existed, j plnuse.] One method of reconciliation i I nearly allied with tho discharge of my I duties, that I will add to this suggestion ! illustration. 1 think it behooves every v man, and most especially every white nu consideration and influence in South Carr to exert that influence, bo ft little or m for the fair, honest and impartial executi the laws, which secure protection to pe character and property. Whosoever is corned-be ho white or colored-be he ri poor-you must carry this resolution witl to the jury-box, to the ballot box, upon scat of justice, in your muncipnl govcrni in your halls of legislation, and to your r struction convention when it shall me Equal justice should bc a cnrdinnl maxii thc polity of your Stato, not only becau is your interest to have a contented, pr rous and happy laboring population, bi higher reasons, bconus* it is just and i [Cheers.] If thocolorod peoplonreign and poor, and prone to error, the ovidon son must commend itself to tho heart conscience of every good citizen, that tin and ignorant should enjoy tho protect! tho rieh, intelligent and influential oitiz It is my belief, that when you have conv thc colored people hy your laws and you ministration of them that you mean I thom justice, you will have solved tho difficult problem you liavo to consider in affairs. You will, st tho name {tine, ol I nineteen out of tho twenty of instances in which ! the exercise of military authority in your af fairs becomes necessary. [Cheers.] J?r*?ov. Tilos. S.

Judy Sharkey acquiesced, and said tho counsel fi thc State of Mississippi would now make tl motion for leave to file thc bill, and were no ready to argue.
