Tennessee and Georgia. He was in Sa- j vannah over two weeks. The general state of feeling at the Sooth toward the Government was that they accepted the condition of things as it is by compulsion ; they ac knowledge that they are a conquered people and have got to sabmit The feeling is much the same to-day, and is better toward the Government, and the people of the North, as it has ever been. Miss Clara Barton of Mass., who has been engaged in searching for missing men in the Union armies, testified before the committee that she thought the people of the South have no respect for the Government of the United States. Tbey have less friendship for negroes than when they owned them. Tbey say the people would again reduce them to slavery, but she would not want to take tbe ctiance ot Deing a slave | were it in tbeir power. Tbefreedmen have I the best of feeling toward the Government and the Northern people. Lieutenant Colonel Dexter H. Clapp, on duty for the Freedmen's Bureau in North Carolina, testifies that he had knowledge of twenty counties. The secessionists had no j inclination to oppose the Government by | open war any further, but he thought they i had no more love for the Government now than they had at any time during the rebellion and only submit to it as a necessity. The most sensible of them intend to make the best they can of it. He heard regrets expressed of the results of the fight among a large portion of the citizens. There is a | great desire to get fully back into the Union, i He was well satisfied that it was their intention when they got back to unite with j whatever parties at tbe North they can to j repudiate the Federal debt He could not! .say there was a settled conspiracy for the purpose, but there was a sort of common understanding, an expected thing. Some of the most sensible and shrewdest men in the State told him so. . Freedmen and Union men do not stand much chance for justice in tbe State courts. He thought I the secessionists of North Carolina would adopt any course giving tbcui any reasons- ' ble hopes ef obtaining their independence, but he thought they had no idea of fight- j ing He believed a large portion of them j would join the common enemy, if they 1 thought there was any reasonable prospect ; of success; but he was clear in the idea they would not fight tbe North any more, as they are now satisfied with the experi- ; ment. Brevet Lieutenant Col. Hunter Brooke, ! Acting Provost Marshal General in the ; Department of Alabama, on being asked a j question with reference to the loyalty of that State, said they seemed to be fretting, j as a general thing, under military rule, but he thought entirely without cause The j result of this was, one heard a great deal j of disloyalty. He did not know of a loyal t newspaper in that State. Q. If the people of Alabama were left | to themselves to aot as they pleased, would they prefer to remain under the preseut j Government or see the Confederacy re es- J tabliehed f A I think the majority of them would prefer to see the Confederacy established. W. A. P. Dimingham, of Waterville, Maine, testified that he had charge of restricted commercial intercourse with the insurrectionary districts in Mississippi. He j thought in March, before Lee's surrender, j the general feeliDg within the Federal lines : of all olasses, was one of entire submission j to the Federal authority. There was a disposition to accept readily any public officer the j Government might send them in a civil or j military capacity. There was a feeling that they had no rights, and these had been forfeited by the rebellion. Subsequently the feeling seemed to disappear, and after the policy of President Johnson was thoroughly inaugurated the old bitterness seemed to develop itself. They desired to have j the arrangement and control of their own i State in their own handB. Mississippi i would prefer the re-establishment of the < Confederacy?at least three-fourths of the i people. I Major S. R. Harrington testified that he i was three years in Arkansas during the i < war, and had been there since. The people j i seemed willing to accept the results of the J i contest. The large majority of theui are 1 glad that peace has returned, and do not I regret the fall of the Confederacy. He i had spoken with the officers of the Confed- 1 erate army, and they told him that they i were glad that the war resulted as it did. i They looked on the leaders, at the com- i mencement, as patriots, but now they have different views of them, and had lost confi- i dence in them. * Question : Wnnld a maioritv of the neo- ! ?r ?/ 1 pie of Arkansas, if they could, establish a i Confederacy ? i Answer : I think a majority of the people ' now prefer the Union. The residents of 1 the northwestern part of the State are poor and owned but few slaves, and were strong ly attached to the Union. Some of the returned rebels found fault with the test 1 oath and some with the amendment to the 1 Constitution of the State striking out the ' word "free," and placing the white man 1 and negro on an equality as regards con- \ tracts, etc. A qualified suffrage might find ' some supporters among a very respectable ' number, .but unqualified suffrage would 1 hardly find any advocates. There is a ! strong prejudice against the colored man in ' this respect. The negro shows a disposition to contract with Northern men rather than with their former masters. Major J. W Smith of Little Rock, Ar-j1 kansas, testified that there was no trouble of any kind in the section of the State where he lived. Some of the rebels have return- 1 ed, bat he believed that four-fifths of those who went into the rebel army are dead.? Judging from present indications, he supposed th/eir intention is to be good loyal : men. Most of the prominent men have , obtained or sought to obtain Northern men as partners. The feeling in Arkansas is ; improving. There has been no disposition i to take up for office men who have been complicated with the rebellion, because that would make the position still more embar ! i rassing. Ho thought all the members elect1 i to Congress good loyal men. c United States Senator elect William I). s Snow, residing at Pine T31uff, Arkansas, s testified that all bis sympathies were with i the United States. He took no part in the ; i war as agaiust the United States, but did : 1 all he could in favor of the Union. He was I unable to say whether it would be safe to j withdraw the military; but bethought if*' thiH should be done, order would be pre- j served. George R. Weeks testified that he considered Arkansas in a better condition than any other Southern State. Ezra Hierstadt testified as to the condition of affairs in Louisiana. He heard ! many persons say that they had no regrets ! for what they did, and are only sorry that j they did not succeed. He could not say \ such is the general feeling among those lately in hostility against the Government, but he was certain it was the feeling of many who held prominent positions. He ! was also certain there was a deep feeling j among certain classes of persons against the payment of the national debt as well as j against the revenue laws of the Govern- j rnent. The framework of society was in a ! very disturbed condition. In many parts ! of the State life and property were very in- j secure. The papers contained daily ac counts of robberies and murders, so that it : was considered by maoy unsafe to travel in i snmo of tho rpnintn narts of the Stale and ? w w- ~ r ; the less frequented thoroughfares. The mass of testimony comprises the j evidence of others, bearing on the same j points and to the same effect. A correspondent of the Missouri j Republican describes the present condition j of the city of Vicksburg: Much has been said and written of this ''Gibraltar of the Mississippi." It is still i full of interest to the traveler and historian. The peninsula opposite and above the city, I whereon Gen. Grant's immense army en | camped, and where nothing remains but a | few lone trees, an occasional cabin, and the , bones of thousands who sickened and died j ! the bluffs bordering the river, from which 1 Pemberton's guns thundered and held at j bay the whole Federal fleet: the peforated | walls and roofs of the houses in the city, ! scaroely ode of whioh does not yet bear a ! scar; the numerous excavations in the hill- I sides, used as "bomb-proofs" by the citizens and soldiers; the long rows of graves, filled by the dead of both armies; and last, thoueh not least, the immense lines of fortifications surrounding the city on all sides, ' and reaching almost to the Yazoo and the I Big Black, are all points of thrilling and ; mournful interest A marble monument near the Jackson road, between the lines of the contending armies, marks the spot where Generals j Grant and Pemberton met and arranged j the termsof capitulation on the 3d of duly, 1863. The forts and breastworks are much j decayed, while the ground once occupied by so much of life aod animation, the theatre of so many terrible and bloody conflicts, is almost entirely covered with weeds and undergrowth; a solitary cabin here and there, occupied by blacks, are almost the only indications of human life, while wild rabbits aod quail are plenty, and the lone- 1 some owl gives an occasional screech from the mangled stamps and tops of trees, j which stand as monuments of the bitter < strife and iron hail, which seems to have i swept almost every living thiug before it. Should aDy of your readers ever stop at this place, aod conclude to visit the battj^ ground, I would advise them to mak^the trip on horseback, as it would be much more than a day's journey on foot, and cannot possibly be made in a vehicle, the rug- : ged hills, broken timber, undergrowth etc., being impediments not easily overcome ,? > Wholesale Prices?Sharp DeclineN ?Last week the deolinein wholesale prices was greater .than in any week since the : present downward movement commenced i Standard domestic manufactures, in the dry goods market, receded in price abont twenty per cent, and the average reduction in [ imported goods was probably not less than twenty-five per oenf. Even at these reduced rates, sales were very meagre, aod it is . juite probable that the decline will contin- { ae during the present week. In other tranches of trade there has also been a ma- erial redaction in prices, although the per . jentage of decline has not been so uniform as J! o the dry goods market. It is evident that crices are now rapidly gravitating toward I real values. The abnormal condition of . :rade that was occasioned by the war is giv- J ing way to a <>peace basis" in matters of business, and more steady and uniform prices will be the result The war operated . upon trade like a storm upon the ocean, , ruffling the business surface, and causing prices ro run in billows, up aud down, with cut a controlling influence; but the storm of . war having passed away, and its effects dis- [ innearini* the hlisinpss fillVfnee mnot nofn. t rc r> rally tone down to a level that is based upon ictual values. Consumers, therefore, have i ;ome grouud for gratification in the present .j jspect of the wholesale markets. New York Times, 5(h inst. t The Small Pox.?A gentleman who arrived in this city yesterday from a tour through theSoathern States says it is hardly possible to imagine the exteut to which :he small pox prevails throughout that sec- j lion. All the large cities are more or less i infected. In some places the freedmen on- j ly are the victims, while in others the white i population are among the sufferers. Little I 1 ittention is paid to discretion in medical a treatment. Those who have the disease walk through the streets in the most indifferent and uuooncerned manner. No one ' bids thom remain within the doors In two or three places through which he pass : id one house in every three had the red { symbol displayed. Charleston, we all kuow, s grievously afflicted with small pox. In -j his respeot, however, our friend assures ' p ts we are fhr better off than our neighbors d n the Gulf States. There he had been ac- j ^uoiviuL.i iv oco uyicuo vi uaoc.i uu iuu oliccv >very day; here he meet? three or four.? ' ('har/estoii Courier, 9M inst. ^ v Remarkable Fact.s?The New York 1 Times says : This country did more to feed Europe . luring the years 1S62, 'Go and '64, thau | ' n the tliree years which immediately pre- i :cded the late war. The ijuautity of wheat ihipped in the midst of the war was two ind three fourths times greater than before, vkile the amount of ham and side bacon vas increased eight times. This is certain- j . y a remarkable exhibit, when it is remem- 4 jered that, during these three years of war, wc had an average of a million of men iu the army, whose producing capacity was for I the time lost to the couutry. A uation that * can carry on tho most stupendous war of a.modern times, prosper meanwhile, and {{, greatly increase its exports of provisions, JJ may well astonish the wise ones of Europe There is no parallel to it in the world's ' history.
