It is announced in official circles that President John son is very urgent for the admission of tho Tennessee delegates. Tho Republican Senatorial caucus was considerably divided on tho question. Congress is not disposed to make an issuo with tho President, If It enn bo avoided. Tho resignation of Benjamin F. Butler, which was tendered to tho War Department, n few days sluco, was promptly accepted. Of tho two hundred and thirty-two members of tho present Congress, exactly ono-lialf oro natives of Now England and New York?thero being sixty-nine of tho former, and forty-seven of tho latter. Judge TnoMAB J. Devine, formerly of the Confed?ralo States Courts, and Major Sackfield Marlix, and Col. Philip N. Luckett, officers of tho lato Confederate army, three prominent citizens of Texas, hare been ar rcstod by order of General Sueiudan, aud aro now im prisoned in Fort Jackson. , The Galvestou Now hat been furnished with ou ac count of tho now h team plow recently invented by Bnm CnEwzuAn, of Austin. With two hands itwlU thoroughly cultivate 120 acres of coll?n, including the breaking up of the soil, and much otker necessary work. Corn and wheat, may bo cultivated by this machine In a very superior style. Amos Kendall., Postmaster General under Jackson, is building in Washington a house of worship, "tho Calva ry Baptist Church," at a cost of soventy-flve thousand dollars, which he proposes to give to tho society of tho church, on the condition that when finished they will furnish it. The Louisiana Legislature has passed llio Senate reso lution against the rccognitiou of Haiin and Cutter as United 8tates Senators. A special coinmiltco reported a bill against tho Comtltution of 18G4, nnd presented a bill for the calling of a Convention on the 4th of Jan nary. Randall Hunt, from that State, was elected Senator to the United States. Washington advices say that tho official correspond ence betweeu our Government and England and Franco, is being prepond for publication. That with England is very voluminous, as it covers tho whole question of belligerent rights. Only that portion of the correspon dence with Franco relativo to Mexican affairs will bo published, an it is not deemed cxpediout to mako it all public at present. The New York IVAltn?, of tho 8th lust., says that East Tennessee Unionists hovo been permitted, by n weak and worthless Union General commanding, and a rev erend blackguard styled Governor, to butcher not loss than ono hundred Confederates anil negroes in and around Knoxville einco Juno last. Greeley says Ten nessee has many staunch Unionists, but nevertheless is n pandemonium of passion ami crime, and not more fit for self-government than Dahomey. Bishop Horada, of Vermont, is now making a tour through the .Southern States, for tho purpose of deliver ing lectures in behalf of such charitable objects as the citizens of tho difieren t points at which be sp oks may designate. Bishop Hopkins is a man who Is entitled to tho respect of every Southerner. He has always con tended for justlco and right, regardless of section, nnd wiR be welcomed wherever ho may go in tho Southern States. Tho success of the anti-slavery Constitutional Amend ments seemed to have inspired further attempts in tbo samo direction, and four amendments of that instrument have already been proposed, viz. : Making the number of voters in each Stato the basis for representation in Congress; annulling the provision against export duties; prohibiting the payment of the rebel debt; and securing to all persons equal protection and the rights of liberty and life. Tho Virginia City (Mountain) Post of November 4th contains a glowing description of a most extraordinary discovery about four milos from Helena, in that Terri tory, mado by a man named BnowN, ono of the original discoverers of tho Gould k Conn y lode, of Nevada. The discovery is represented as a well defined ledge, fully five feet wide, with a gold vein throe feet wide, throe fourths of the entire substance therein being pure gold. On each side of this vein there is a casing of ono foot of quartz, which will assay from $400 to $3,000 the ton. The Court Journal ?"ll? us that Lord Dudley has been in Paris for the last fortnight expending mines of wealth in Jewels and other gifts for tho beautiful Miss Mon caiRFr, on whoso noblo brow bo is about to place bis coronet. His lordship purchased, for his destined bride, the wonderful diadem which has so Ion? attracted tho envy and admiration of all tbo idlers in tbo Rno dc la Paix. Thirty-two thousand pounds was the cost of this bagatelle?a sort of diminutivo Koh-l-noor?but this eerin will bo but an insignificant item in tbo corbeille de marriage." It it stated that tbero are now 4,000,000 Roman Catho lics In the United States. In 1808 there was one pro vince, ono diocese, two bishope, eighty-eight priests eighty churches, and two ecclesiastical institutions; 1801, seven provinces, forty-eight dioceses, three vlcari atca, thlrtyflvo bishops-, 2317 priests, 2517 churches, 1278 stations and chapels, and forty-nine ecclesiastical insti tutions. In addition to this, they hove one hundred and two orphan asylums, where about 7000 orphans arc educated; ono hundred benevolent and charitable socie ties; twenty-eight hospitals, ninety-seven literary Insti tutes for young men; two hundred and twelve female academies, and three hundred and.three free schools for 37,030 males; and three hundred and twenty-seven schools for 29,671 females. Tho report of the Comptroller of tho Currency Is very interesting. Ho takes high conservative ground in re gard to the finances of the country, and his facts and arguments showing where we will land if our currency expansion and excessive importation aro not checked, aro very convincing. Mr. Clarke disousses tho entire question of finance in all its elements, currency, taxa tion, tariff and revenue, urges a readjustment of the tariff with a view to check importations, and tho con solidation of our system ofjnternnl revenue, jby restrict ing taxation to a few of the leading articles at high rates, nch* ' as ' cotton, tobacco, distilled and * male' liquors, stamps, licenses, eta' 'As* wo havb horctoforo otatcd, no increase of the national bank capital wlU be recommend ed, except upon such conditions as will provont any fur ther inflation of the currency. Tho roport wlR also show that tlie amount of currency -in activo circulation is many millions leas than is generally aupposed. tfsT AU communications intended for publication in this journal must be addressed to the Editor of the Daily News, No. 18 Htiyne-street, Chmlesttm, S.

CHARLESTON. -?-? * TUESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 12, 18G5. A few days sineo we took occasion to rc tnark upon tho uncortaint.es affecting enter prise in this unhappy country, and, among others, maintained that tho negroes might not work, or their friends permit them, even if inclined to do so. To this romark exception has heon takon, and an officer of the Frced mon's Bureau, whoso articlo wo publish, tells us that it is not merely slanderous, hut con voys a falso impression to tho puhlic, and an nounces a fact to frcodmon which, it protonds, is injurious, but which " cortaiuly could not havo boon taught thorn from any other 80UTC0." This languago is harshor than was necessa ry to tho efficiency and forco of the communi cation; harshor, perhaps, than may havo been intended, for tho author is of standing and culture, and wo might, with propriety, havo declined its publication; hut wo accept it. Wo accopt it for tho reason that it oxihibits a sen sibility to public sentiment. Such has been tho apparent disregard of public fooling, pub lic interest, and, wo will add, of public decen cy, exhibited by persons professing to act as friends of freedmen, that wo havo doubted if thoy havo felt it any part of their mission to respect "impressiouB on tho public,,>?con siderate, porhaps, of impressions elsewhere, they may havo boon,?for we presume no human beings arc so lost to uaturo as not to havo opinion of some sort for their rulo of action; but not considerate of opinion hero; and we aro pleased with the assuraucc that such opinion, so respected, even to a slight extent, has been our own." We accept it for tho reason that it admits tho obligation to act for tho public good. This, also, wo had doubted. So perverse has been tho conduct of these friends of freed men?so utterly inconsistent with tho real interests of blacks as well as whiles?that we have doubted if they havo felt such obligation; aud even now may doubt if it bo felt hy all. But ovon hypocrisy, the tribute which vice pays to virtue, is so fur commendablo as to acknowledge virtue in the effort to assumo it; and this article, if not strictly true of all to whom applied, has'yet tho merit of admitting the obligation to respect tho public good, and of accopting that as tho principle by which action may bo tested. Wo accept it, also, for reason of the satisfaction we find, even when charged that we havo slandered them, in tho assuranco of at le.ist ono respectablo person that tlioy can bo slandered. But moro especially do wo accept it for the reason that it is tho entry of a defence for thcic friends of freedmen, and raises tho ques tion of their merits to the judgment of an en lightened public. That question wo nccept upon the point at issue, and say that wo were warranted in our apprehensions of such bale ful influence upon tho character and conduct of the negro. Wo wero warranted by the conduct of these friends of freedmen. Instant upon tho occupation of the country there was the persistent effort to disturb existing order. Freedmen wero enticed from their homes nnd their employments; processions wore formed; inflammatory addresses wore mado; tho men who had come to pray with them, or upon them, wont with them to tho throne of Eternal Grace to protest of their wrongs; and as nothing seemed so near to their hearts as the injury of masters, even at the expense of Blavea, it was not unreasonable to suppose that a polioy to that offect had bo come established, nnd was to be remorselessly pursued until its miserable instruments should become its victims. We were warranted by the consequences of their conduct. They found the negro in order, they brought him to disorder; they found him industrious, they have made him idle; they found him in homes, they have mado him houseless; they found him in comfort, they havo brought him to want: thoy found him in poaco with masters upon whom yet he must of necessity dopend for tho employment ne cessary to subsistence, and they have brought him to estrangement so porfect, that nothing but the hnrd necessities of their condition can bring them into contact; and in view of such conduct and such conBequencos, we were not unwarranted in tho apprehension that still that malignant spirit might prevail; that tho seeds of ruin so industriously sown might still bo cultivated; that the negro might bo kept to his work of appointed ovil to tho end; and that is is not still their purpose, as it would seem to be tho result of their action, to com plete tho work inaugurated in tho war, and extinguish the last lingering spark of vitality nnd bop.o which may yot faintly illumino the wido-sproxid ruin of tho land. But it is said that this is not tho purpose of the. Freedmen'? Bureau, for that all their utterances aro aguiiitt it. Porhaps not; and then it follows that there are friends of freed men who are not of that organization, nnd that the work may Still go on, nr?d tho pur pose consummated,'witbtwt that more efficient agowoy. ' .; . ; '.'.-n? ;..;, '.. . Nor do we say that such result is within tho ultimate purpose of thems?lvos or others. They may mo?? >ell.,'^?^avo boon too often misconceived not to be charitable* and the officer who writes us hns the reputation of being highly conscientious; but it is rather with the tendency, than the intention?tho ef forts, than the purpose?of nets that wc havo concern. When blown to tho winds of hoaven by the projects of some ?impla engineer, it is of little alleviation to our sulVorings to learn that that was not his object; and again to be instructed in the oft repeated lesson that the heaviest calamities of life may come not from its crimes. liut wc have failed to sec that such is not the tendency of even that organization. Wo are referred to tho orders of (ho 2d instant. It had been more to tho credit of that body if tlmt order bad been published sooner. Wc aro rofcrrcd to public addresses to tho frood men. There aro some of tho public speeches to frecdmen, and from officers of that bureau, that would not stand tho test of criticism, aud it had boon bettor for tho unhappy victims of that oratory to havo boon spared its inspira tions. We aro told the whole "burden of orders of late, as well as verbal instructions, bos been to a renewal of contracts." And why, then, do they not contract? Under whose influonco are they, but of thoso friends of freedmen, either in or out of tho Froodmon's Bureau? Why is it that planters who never locked their doors at night, now hesitate to visit their places? "Why, to those long oxilod from their places on Edisto?tho account of whoso visit is published in another column? was thcro the common responso that thoy would not work under their former masters? Is this repugnanco of their own nature? It was not so before tho intervention of others; negroes had so much confidence in no others as those they had alwa3*s known ns mastors. Is it from tho conduct of their former ownors? Tlieso had not been pormitttcd to seo them before. Or if it be intended to assume that it is the purpose af the L'rccdmen's Bureau, in good faith, to encourage tho restoration of re lations between frecdmen and their former owners, why is it that these orders were not published sooner? Why have owners not been permitted soonor to revisit their estates upon the seaboard? Why, when it was intendod to givo opportunities to owners to visit Edisto, was not moro than ono day's notice given? Despite the apparent fairness of tho Frccd mcir's Bureau, it is still responsible for much that has occurred, and is justly linble to the censure due to the result, if not the purpose, of a want of concurrence between tho whites aud blacks in tho labor of our country. They havo surrendered lands, claimed to bo aban doned, to just claims, with reluctance; they have interposed their claim to hold lands, taken as abandoned, notwithstanding the par don of tho President; they havo forborne to recognize tho right to reclamation of lands upon tho islands and tho adjacent main, until forced to make it, and they make it with re luctance, and the interposition of every incon venient form and rcf-uisition. An officer of this organization, high in this Stato, has declared his conviction of the proprioty, and his wish, that the lands 6houId be divided be tween the whites and blacks. Tho purpose, therefore, is declared, in terms and by necessary implication, that thore shall bo lands reserved, to somo extent, for the exclusive occupation of the blacks; that it is not intended, therefore, that thcro shall be further noccssary dependenco between the races for support: aud whether, under the influence of this course and purpose, or by more direct teachings, t_o negroes havo como to the common belief that they are to be cared for; that thoy are to have some better stato provided than they can find with whito pro prietors; nud that thoy should not bo inclined to enter such relations, or accept of such ser vice. The suggestion, therefore, is not without warrant, even with respect to that bureau, that they may have other objects for the negro; that it is not, in perfect faith, their purposo to re store him to tho f?elas of formor owners; that thore is some other Eulopia of which he is tho fitting colonist; that he may not, even if ho would, forego the opportunities of that bright destiny to the meaner labors necessary to subsistence; und that ho must live or die, inexorably, to the realization of that bright idea by which it has been determined that his fortunes or his fate shall be illuminated. -m We had hoped, by tho first of this month, to make the promised enlargement of The Daily News, but owing to our disappoint ment in rocoiving a supply of necessary mate rial, we have been unable to do so. On tho first of January, however, The News will make its appearance in its new dross, greatly enlarged and improved. We regret that, owing to tho pressure of adver tisements, wo have been unable to givo our readers, for some timo past, tho quantity of reading matter thoy were entitled to; we havo ondoavorod, however, to mako up the deficiency, to somo extent, by issuing Supple ments. We have n0w tho largest circulation, by far, both in the City and State, of any other journal, and wo shall continue to mako our paper more and more worthy o?" the goneroua support it has received since tho first day of its publication. ~-~?*~~mmm?^?mim*mmim*?mmmmm~ammammmm*mmmmmSmm ear dr. h. baer.?office at the drug STORE of Mr. A.
