DAILY NEWS. SATURDAY MORNING. AUGUST 26, 1865. Lid' Till: SOUTH BE IIKAHU. [From the Mer-.phis, Tenn., Daily Commercial.] In ordor to ?cenro poac? upon Uio best and most ?iorraonont baB?B and hasten tho completo restora ion of tho machinery of civil government through out tho Southern Statoti, it in a matter of no ?mall importance to iho authorities at Washington, that tho true fjantiment of tho Southern people should bo definitely made known an rogardH tho situation in "which they arc placed by the unsuccessful rc Hultn of their revolutionary Btrugglo, and tho rela tioiiB which thoy sustain, or desiro to sustain, to tho Federal Government. And it ie, perhaps, of no Ichh importance to the public tranquil! ty and tho great work of national r?conciliation, that tho people of tho North and IVoBt BhOttkl be put in possession of facts instead ?if rumorB, on to the real position and purposes of their Southern neighbors, and fairly understand tho tone and temper of tho Southern mind. At present tliero is a disastrous ignorance on this subject among tho peoplo at large, and an ig nuranco all tho greater on the part of thoso who assume to feel tho greatest interest in Southern regeneration, and Book to control and tdinpo it, as this wantof knowledge and consequent lack of real uympathy may ohoncc to Biiggcst. Nor is tho Government itself so thoroughly post ed upon tho matter that it needs no further en lightenment to assist and promote its deliberations. Tho President hao much else to loarn than maybe gathered from tho delegations that have waited upon him as representative Southerners, many of whom aro BCif-oonBtituted committees, with itidi vividual objects to accomplish, unauthorized to speak even for their friends and neighbors, still Iobb to reflect tho public sentiment of any conside rable constituency. And far loss may tho authorities or people de rivo from the correspondence of the public presa information that is of value or reliability. Much of it is positively false?much of it embellished by fancy or prejudice-?all of it, with .scarcely an ex ception, fraught with mischief and evil. it is by this sort of literature that the public mind is kept in a ferment, and tho passions of the people fod, with what, in many cases, seems a per tinacity almost infernal. Isolated instances of disaffection, brutality or cruelty to negroes, are sought out or invented with a truly Satanic industry, and reiterated in the cars of the people and the administration as evi dence of tho refractory, nullen, rebellious, or still treasonable temper of tho Southern States. It seems to be a studied purpose with these con spirators against reunion upon tho basis of tho Constitution, to vUlify the South as barbaric, irre claimably depraved, and fit only for subjugation, or more especially tho spoils that follow in tho train of subjugation. ' In these sources, the radical opponents of con stitutional restoration are constantly finding new arguments for forcing their dogmas upon the at tention of the people and the Government, and the Government itself is unavoidably misled to a greater or less extent, by tho same pernicious sys tem of misrepresentation that has left the Soulh ern people completely at the mercy of their foes, as it were, and virtually helpless. Tliero is in all this a manifest injustice. Tho South, in tho name of humanity, has a right to be heard. She has attempted to throw off the Na tional authority, but fa?:ng in the effort, groaning under its terrible consequences, ready to renew her old time allegiance, and indisposed to quibble as to terms which she can neither alter nor reject, sho only oekH that the work of restoration bo speeded, and that she may have some opportunity of vindicating herself from the broadcast nspor sions, which are so industriously disseminated to 'blacken the sincerity of her motives and prolong lier miseries. For tho purposo then of giving to the inhabi tants of the late Confederate States a1 cpJ??iPH? ty of ann?tinclng, lii feom? general and authorita tive way. what may bo regarded as an official declaration of sentiment, reflecting the dominant opinions of the Southern country, we beg leave to suggest that a Convention of Delegates, trom all tho seceding States bo held early in tho coming Autumn, or as Boon as practicable, at Nashville or some other central point, for the purpose of plac ing the peoplo of these StatoB in their true posi tion before the country and the world, as a people acquiescent in the rulings of fortune, submissive to Federal authority, anxious to resume the duties of citizenship, and assuring President Johnson of thoir united purpose to co-operate with him in the rc-cstabhshmeni of law and order and the main tenance of tho national authority. And as an initiatory movement, let conventions bo held at once in the various counties of Tennes see, and delegates selected to a State Convention to be held at Nashville, and let tho example, inau gurated here, bo urged with all possible earnest noss and zeal upon the remaining States of the South, that there may be an entire concert of ac tion and an assemblage, in general Convention, worthy of the noble occasion which shall have sum-1 monod it together. Let it be understood, furthermore, that no man participates in these conventions who has not been at ono time or another identified with tho cause of secession, and in an attitude of hostility to the Government, whose protection he. now desires in return for his ronerr?d allegiance. We do not presume to Bay what should bo tho programme or such a convocation as we have in all sincerity and good faith suggested. It would necessarily be componed in a great measure of the bravery, the genius and the intelligence of the Southern States?statesmen, soldiers and scholars, all occupying tho same level of defeat, yet by tho adversities of fortune made capable of stronger and moro united efforts for tho social and political renovation of their wasted and disorganized com munities; and entitled, from the aggravated stig mas which are heaped upon their names, to at least a respectful and consid?rate hearing. They have no organs of communication with ?meh other or tho people at largo?many of them, divested by statute of the elective franchise, have no means of establishing their loyalty at the bal lot box?all of them ore under the ban of a public opinion that weighs not in its deductions?all of them under the loan of a venal and prescriptive press. Let them then be heard; we eay ont of their own month* let them be adjudged, and not out of the ! month of a Tribune correspondent. Let their united pledge be given of fealty to the law and Constitution. Let their recognition of the aboli tion of negro slavery be formally announced. Let them seal the act of emancipation with the seal of their conventional authority. Let them repel the unfriendly and unfounded asseverations of then' traducoTs; and extend to the measures and the Eolicy indicated by their Executive Magistrate, a and and heart of earnest assent and co-opera tion. With euch a demonstration the country would rebt content. The President would rejoice at its manifestations. It would strengthen his own arm? weaken that of his political antagonists, and to its conclusions the judgment oi mankind would pro nounce one universal amen. _!-1? ... , , . From Arkania*.

Many soldiers havo sent for Southern property. Proper ty owners in tho South, not unfrequcntly. own several residences.. In this vicinity, for instance; we know of gentlemen, not a few. who have a win ter town-houBO, a residence On the bound for mid summer, and a plantation residence in the country beside. Of course it is impossible for these gen tlemen to occupy all these residences at one and iho same time. On tho approach of our troops to this town sfimo of thein were vacant, and were taken possession of as "abandoned." Another class of property similarly held is that owned by. estates yet in probato, or the proparty of widows and orphans held by executors. Of course such property cannot be attained, and tho ?government does not moan to hold it; but having teen found "abandoned"?that is, with no owner present to claim it?the authorities seized it, and now the rightful owners experience an endless amount of difficulty in reclaiming it. ?his is. fir.? case in at least one instance, now in our mind, whore n?4 only is tho property owned by a widow, but her representative is a loyal man beyond dis pute, having already been entrusted with a re sponsible Office in this town, and complied with all the requirements of oaths, etc. ?QOSffiH Much property is now held by the government representatives "here that has never been formally BOi/.ed by the officers of the Treasury Department, and ia not now, and never has been, entered on tin? hooks of the treasury agent; and yet the own er?, being loyal men within all the requirement? of Die law und the proclamation of the President, cannot recover possession. Our citizens arc put to great inconvenience and Iosb because of this distress of their properly, and are unable to eee any remedy. The government is being injured also from the same cause by reason uf tho tenden cy such treatment works to weaken the conlideneo of the peoplo in its representations. Complaints are brought in to us almost daily in regard to these matters; but tho most wo cando is to refer tho complainants to tho treasury agent. We presumo the treasury agent is similarly embarrassed, not knowing by what authority property not in his hands is hold, and being ineapablo of affording any redress to the injured parties. Probably an appeal to Washington, and a full representation of tho facts, would draw out a general order that would open a door for relief hi such cases as are cutitled to it. Wo have also been applied to personally and by letter for information as to the proper mode of procedure to recover property rightfully seized at the timo, but the owners of which havo since purged themselves of their hostility to tho govern ment by taking tho required oaths,* or applying for and receiving tho executive pardon. We presume such parties will havo their property restored to thorn. Indeed it has been restored in the casca of some who were formerly prominent as enemies to iho United States. And yet wo are sorry to say that others complain that, while they havo never been hostile to the government, they find difficulty in get tiug their property, and cito eases to show tho iniilatico* of tho treatment they receive. All such should lay their cases before tho representa tive of the Treasury Department, where wo havo no doubt thoy will obtain both counsel and"relief -?*- --1? Letter from John Minor Units lu Reference to the 820,000 Clause. Wo do not doom tho sayings of Mr. John Minob Botts of any very groat importance, nor do wc consider his views on national subjects of much weight, but aa a part of tho nows of tho day wc publish tho following letter from him: Auburn, neab Bkanby Station, August 4?My Dear Sir: Your letter of tho 30th July, asking for my interpretation of the proclamation of President Johnson of tho 29th of May, 1865, has boon receiv ed, and I avail myself of the first leisure moment to answer it. I think it clear that the oath of am nesty and pardon is, by that proclamation, offered to au, with tho exception of tho fourteen different classes of persons enumerated, and from them tho benefits of the amnesty oath are withheld until a special pardon is obtained, and this pardon, as I understand it, when obtained, only remits tho pen alties that have been incurred by those who nave endeavored to overthrow tho Government, without conferring any political privileges whatever, which are controlled in some instances by tho onactments of tho United States Congress, and in others by the provisions of State Constitutions and State laws (aa in this State), neither of which are or can be dis turbed by tho pardon of the President. In refer ence to the thirteenth section, which reads: "All persons who have voluntarily participated in said rebellion, and tho estimated value of whose property i? over twenty thousand dollars." ThiB clause seems to be lesa understood than any of the exceptions contained in the proclamation; and there aro very many making application for pardon who are not at all embraced in the excep tions. Union and loyal men throughout tho war. persons of advanced ago. and others who have had no participation in the rebellion, eithor voluntarily or involuntarily, all seem to think that because their taxable property exceeds twenty thousand dollars that it is necessarily liable to confiscation unless a pardon is obtained from the President; and by their numorous applications arc not only unnecessarily increasing the labors of the Presi dent, Attorney-General, and other officials in Wash ington, but arc throwing away their own means and time, and making a harvest for the lawyers who aro engaged m that branch of business. It is manifest that this thirteenth clause is suscepti ble of no such construction. To thoso who havo not "voluntarily participated in tho rebellion' this clause has no application whatever, no matter what amount "of taxable property they may own: and whether thoy have voluntarily participated or not, is a matter that must he best known to themselves, for there may be other modes of vol untary participation than that of actually bearing arms against the United States; in other words, thero were other means to bo employed for the overthrow of the government than by bearing arms, for the worst of tho secessionists were generally thoso who were the last and the leaat willing to take np arms. These contributed all their means and en?rgica, somo by investment in Confederate stocks for tho purpose of aiding the rebellion, oth ers by running tho blockade, and other "bomb proof" occupationB, as they were called?all for the overthrow of the Government of the United States. All this I should call voluntary participation in tho rebellion. . But you aak particularly whether de tailed farmers, in my opinion, would come under the class of cases; to which I should answer, not necessarily. I know myself of a number of cases in which tho most loyal men of the State became detailed farmer?, only for the* purpose of avoiding military duty in the field, and of obviating tho ne cessity* for taking up arms against the United StalcB authorities; and yet a detailed farmer might have done many things that would subject him to the exception; therefore, I think such particular case would have to stand upon its own merits, as no general or universal rule could be applied. Every man best knows his own motives, and Knows whether he did what ho could, whether in ono ca pacity or another, to aid the rebellion, and upon his own conscience must rest tho necessity for an application for pardon. If ho is conscious of hav ing done nothing voluntarily to aid the rebellion, then I should say it would be quito time enough to ask for a pardon when steps were taken against him for a confiscation of his property; and in tho meantime to save his time and money for better purposeB than that of enriching lawyers and paid agents. I am, respectfully and very truly, yours, JOHN M. BOTTS. GofiHiL Bctlfji in Contekpt.?General Bug ler, who is the executor of the estate'of his brother. Colonel Andrew J. Butler, having neglected to fill the inventory of assets, as required by law, Hurro fate Tucker, on tho 2Cth of July, summoned him 3 appear on tho 28th ultimo, and filo tho necessary inventory. General Butler did not appear, hut was represented by a -person who had the matter adjourned until the 8th instant. Another adjourn ment was granted till Thursday, August 17, when the General, accompanied by his counsel, appeared. The case being called, lar. Haokott stated to the Court that tho delays had been caused by inadver tence and mistake, and he would there fore ask that the contempt of Court,. with which tho General stood charged, be set aside. i General Butler then addressed the Court, saying that he had not supposed that his personal attend ance was necessary, and that as soon as < he ascer tained that it was, ho hastened to obey tho orders of the Surrogate. g ,, . ;':. ?. ?jftJJ The contempt was then soi aside, and Messrs. A. S.

Last year we applied fifty-five (551 tons to three hundred and seventy-five (375) acres of land for cotton, 6ay about (S00) three hundred pounds per acre. We rub bed the seed in the Phosphate, and siso sowed it in tho drill with the seed at the time of planting. On a portion of. ' the land we appUed a top dressing of the Lime at the second hoeing. Throughout the season the cotton plant? grew ? well?the leaves were of a dark, healthy color, and " no bukt " was soen on the plantation. Tho ravages of tb* army worm prevented us from realizing the benefit from our outlay for tho Lime in full, still tho large number of partly growu bolls and forms gavo some idea of what tho crop would have been could they have matured. Al though we saved a large quantity of manuro on the place last year, our conndenoe in the valuo of your Phosphate led us to purchase of you last spring seventy tons, one-half of which we used ourselves, and the balance was bought for a friend, who was satiHticd of its worth in cotton culture. At the time of writing this, our crop is looh ing finely, and promises an abundant yield. One portion of our plantation consists of highlands with a clay sub soil, running near tho surface; the remainder is flat and inclined to be sandy. The owner of the place tells us that he did not succeed with cotton on this last part; but owing, as we think, to the liberal use of your Phosphate, we have now a good crop growing upon it- This is but tho second season of cotton growing with us; still, from our experience thus far, we do not hesitAtc to recommend your Phosphate of Lime as a manure well adapted to the. wants Of the cotton planter." _ Newxehrv, S.

My neighbors, who are acquainted with the land > were astonished at the luxuriant growth of the cotton whero I used your Superphosphate, it produced better cot ton, and a larger amount, than on my gcod land; leen work was needed m making the cotton than on my other - land- Not apartide of rust was to be seen whero I applied your Superphosphate, while the rust prevailed over - every other portion of the crop. . .

Dear Sir: In reply to yours- of the 1st inst, I cheerfully state: I have used Mopes' Nitro genlzed Superphosphate of Lime on my cotton of the present year, and am perfectly satisfied with its yitM.

It did not start tho young plant as early ae either the other manures; but ifc . seemed|to retain its color and pods much better, and no symptom of rust was ever Been where it was applied?all tho land I planted in cotton being about the samo quality and strength. CHARLES W. MIXON. Extract from a letter from Colonel Oideon Dowse, of BerzeUo, near Augusta, Oa., August, 1860; J. JT. Mapes?Dear Sir: I have no hesitation in saying that on my own farm your Superphosphate has bees? and is now, superior m its effects, where I have applied it on my cotton, to either lot-manure or cotton seed; aod?. as compared to the land without manure in tho samo field (in in y opinion the only true way to test It), it is a? four - to one in the number of grown bolls, and as ten to ono in tho young fruit ?und forme, in favor of tho t?uperphoe Tihnl*' This opinion is formed from a close and critical examination by my overseer and myself. There is one refplfc from its application, which, if it had nothing else to recommend it, is of incalculable value, and that la, it dttie * aeem to guard against that worst enemy of tho cotton plant, namely, the ruU. I have applied it to land that Invariably rusts cotton, and there Is as yet not* a sign cfrutt In it, wbilo the awno kind of Isncf just adjoining is completely ruined by if already. .

C., last year; and I am fully persuaded that any plant manured with it' does withstand a drought better and keeps green longer than with ant other application Um ~ come under my notice. I have seen cotton, corn, okro, melons and other garden plants, that have kept i during tho terrible drought that has so completely destroyed all our gardens, and my nutmeg melons aro as i laid blooming as beautifully as in spring. I have written Ulis as the result of my Judgment from closo observation. When I shall have gathered my crops-, it will give me pleasure to give you tho result from actual weight and measure.

Dear Sir: I bought four tons of yonr Huperphosphatij. of Lim? for cay cotton , crop, al ?o some guano, and have tried them sido by side on tho samo quality Of land. Not apartide oft*ust was to be sein where your'Superphosphate was used; and I ulso spplicd stable manure on a portion of to? l(tjd. Tho exit ton had the rust when the latter was used. The yield of cotton .was splendid' when th? "Superphosphate wail. used, despite the extraordinary dry year. When T applied thu other manure tho yield was not good. ^ I applied the Superphosphate at tho rate of 100 lbs. per acre, and believe it would have paid better if I bad pnt more per acre.. . . . I sold my cotton m Hamburg yesterday at ','c. per pound over tho usual markst price.
