A. HARIS, J. G. GiBBEs. Difulties BetWeen Returned Soldiers. The Memphis Argus learns that a bit ter animosity -exists between the people up the Arkansas. Frequent alterca. tions occur between those who served in the Confedeiate army and .others from 'the Union army, who regard each other with malicious hatred. Some days since, at Spades, a party of discharged Union soldiers met a'number of paroled Confederates, and after an angry dis. cussion, a fight ensued, in which fire. arms were freely used, resulting in kill. ing four men.

PERRY AND HIs SPaxcn.-The Washington eorrespondent of the New York erald writes as follows under date ofthe 21st inst.: Gov. Pe d, by appointment, .an intervi e President this even. ing, f change ef -views in regar nPtruction of State gover Carolina, and oth er ma to his office. The f overnoar Perry's speech has excited a storm of indig tion on the part of -the more re supporters Qf the administa e Governor haa, *however; rysatisfactory isnter .views with the' President and most niembers of the Cabinet. They express great confidence in the loyaltyand pa sriotismr of Governor Perry and believe that he will administer the duties of bis offiee with a loyal spirit, and with the single desire to restore as speedily as possible the blessings of assured peace and constitutional loyal go'vernunent to the people of that St. The explana tions which Govoeor Perry has given . of that speech,- and .the ciroumstanses undekwhich it psdelivered, have largely obviated th ttrnfavurable impres. sios which abme pastage in it aare un questionably calculated to convey.

's noe'ie o~oa (Ver mganeated.] Emton Nwe TIhe positidn is here. in taken thet, so far from Wiing an as. smed daten that the stop taken by the South~n 47t61 has altogetherfiiled, ibis an historical fact. This conceded, the question is-what is to be done in the premises ? Two things cannot be done. Tha, Cl0r sL, Ohe exploded remedy must not be repeated. The second is, alet. alone policy, a political nonenity, should not be tolerated. AOvioN, then, guided by the new lights before us, must char. acterize the body politic. To what end shall this action be directed ? Evident. ly, to securing .the best possible condi tion attainable under the circumstances. Cut loose as. it is from the iucubus of slavery, and untrammelled by any pre judice against interference with- that in stitution, the political body South has only to throw itself forward as a conser vative constituent of the National body. and it is bound to exert a high influence in shaping the Government which is to direct the machinery of the whole coun try. This influence will be overwhelm ing as soon as civil has superseded mili tary rule, and. whining lethargy given place to an eplightened and enlarged comprohension of the true sitnation. The former transition is now going on. By all means push the latter forward with all possible dispatch. The occa sion calls for the help of all honest and earnest hearts, and of all wise intelli gences. - What boots it for a good and worthy citizen to stand aloof; bcause corrupt and dishonorable means-are used for selfish political ends ? Would he shut off a stream of pure water from a burning house, because anotiler of filthy water plays upon it ? How worse than criminal would be such an act, were that house his own. Just as culpable is the man who withholds his precep and ex r-pe whcn the mnost he can do is to employ them for desirable good which can be realized in no pther way. But to come more directly to practi. cal lessons. Soon a Convention of some persons as citizens of South Carolina, is to meet in Columbia, under the proclama tion of the Provisional Governor. That Convention will give character and complexion to the future history of this State, as no other can do. Its member. must be men awake to realities, not wild and chimerical dreamers. Too much air has alrepdy been beaten in empty - declamation. . Now is the time to accept the teachings of experience, and bend 'o the iron will of necessity. Let it be clearly and distinctly announc ed to the men who are to represent the State, that their constitdents require them to start at the starting point, and not waste time in discussing what might have been ; to deal with living facts, nodissues. To qualiry him. r is the 'poesitive duty of neglect it, is to court vil, and that for an indeft *M.

A few weeks before harvest it promised a very heavy yield, but subsequently it was struck by rust, and the av'erage yield in the sections of the country napied, it is now estimated, will not reach over eight or ton bushels to 'the acre. . This has caused a very strong feeling in our markets for flour and wheat, and~eonn. try operators are already inivesting here, on speculation. Outside of the sections alluded to,. the damage has not been se riou.s and front most places we hear no general comaplaint, whil in niany districts a very 'large yield has been edeured. It is hardly safe, therefore, togo in largely on a crop failure. Yt seems probable that the foreign demand will have more to do in fixing prices than the crop failure. It is pretty cer tain we shall, have a large surplus fosr export, and the price obtainable for this surplus will govern our markets. We continue to rodeito vioot favorable re ports of thcorn. crop. The "prospects now are that the yield ill be very large. - Oinedsati Ga4e. FaoOs ALAAUI.-A ngetlema'n from Alabama gives someo particulars of inter est in regard to ma~ers in that State. Rain has beenu abundant in the Central part, and the crops premise an abundant yield, except in s fhv sect~ions where labor is scarce.
