Tho steamship Quaker City, Captain WEST, ar? rived here from New York at an carly hour yester? day morning, having left on Saturday afternoon. She brings a good freight and rassenger list. ; Wc arc indebted to Purser MCELROY for valuable i favors. E-ETCHTir, the gold defaulter, has been senten- ? ced to four years and six months in the Peniten- j tiary. Thc Hudson river is open, but frill of ice, at i Poughkeepsie. It is the latest navigation in that vicinity for several years. Captain SEMITES has arrived at Washington, un? der the custody of Lieut. FRENCH, of thc Marino j ?Corps, and is a prisoner at the Navy-Yard. Colonel JAMES DUNCAN- GRAHAM, of tho United States Engineers, died very suddenly on Thurs? day, the 28th of December, at Boston, Mass. Colonel GRAHAM was a brother-in-law of Major General MEADE. A letter from Guadaloupe, dated November 25. states that thc cholera had broken out there, and j was committing great ravages at Basso Terre, a i town of eix tkousaud inhabitants. Ono hundred j and 6even fatal cases occurred on tho 22d. The question of negro suffrage was voted J npon by the people of Geoigetown, D. C., on ? Thursday, thc 2Sth December, with much the ! same result as at Washington. Of over seven hundred votes cast only ono was deposited in i favor of granting the franchise. There is an ice flood in the west branch of tho Susquehanna, causing great damage. It is esti? mated that from sixty to seventy million feet of j saw logs, valued at one million dollars, have passed I thcro in the last twenty-four hours. It is thc ? heaviest loss ever sustained by the lumbermen of ! that section. The trial of GEE for thc maltreatment of Union prisoner, which was begnn at Raleigh, has been removed to Salisbury, N. C. A. D. RICHARDSON j and S. H. BROWNF, correspondents of tho New York Tribune, and W. E. DAVIS, correspondent of the Cincinnati Gaztlte, who were twenty months in prisons in thc South, have been summoned by . tho Government as witnesses for the prosecu? tion. On Christmas day au affray occurrr J between some negro soldiers and white citizens at Clarks viPe, Tenn. Thc row is said to have originated in some way with an attempted arrest of a colored soldier by a policeman. No one was killed, but two or three wcro seriously wounded. Major : BOND, Agent of the Freedmen, was quickly on hand at tho scene of action, and soon restored , quiet. An address bas been issued by the Freedmen's Equal Rights League of North Carolina, in which they disavow ..ny eocrcsy of organization, designs . I or proceedings, and state that their principal ob- : I ject is to endeavor to secure, by political and ,', moral means, thc repeal of all laws that make dis-11 criminations on account of color. They pledge J ' themselves to maintain good order, and place j{ their services at the disposal of Government, dc- > ' manding in return legal protection for their "pro- ! < perty, schools, presses aud churches." i Thc Washington correspondent of the Philatlcl- '. phia Ledger, uuder date of December 27, writes: ; ] "Thc chances arc more than even that thc Joint I Committee on Reconstruction will make no report | at all. There havo been a good many changea : among the numbers who at first favored the ap- ! pointmcnt of thc committee, and, should a report : therefrom against thc admission of the Southern i. members ever sec the light, it would receive' a ; cross fire that would be certain to kill it. The i ' probabilities are, that thc committee will smother j i their indignation, rather than run thc hazard of a j rejection of their report." ? ( Captain A. L. GfSKAX, of thc Confederate army. . and some years ago a student of the University at Columbia, writes to his father at Raton l?<m;;o ; (says thc Slafesmmt), thai he has been released from Fort Delewarc on condition that he leave thc United States within fifteen days from thu date of his rek a?-?. Captain GVSMAN was for a long time a prisoner on Johnson's Island, and was one (d'thc . two who pcrr>ititcd hi ?.efusing to renew their alle? giance to the United stans Government after tho j * close of the war. The envier for his release was issued on th.' Kith ult., and Captain G. left for Vera Cruz. He commanded the Creole Guards of I Baton Rouge, and fought under Stonewall JACK- | SON ami his successor until captured. Secretary SK?

J lo socs first to Saida Cru/, ?lld will he absent throe or four weeks. Hisob ject is mandy relaxation and tho moro complete! restoration of hi? health. Mr. HESTER will be j acting Secretary during his absence. As usual, ' rumor has this al nrr.non attributed all sorts of j objects t'> li:<- ?rip, even to thc landing of thc ? honorable Scrrviury ?roon Mexican soil, in search ; of JUAREZ and I ix ? overnmeut, but it positively has no other 11>> ci 'hu tho one stated.

The New Orleans Picayune ot thc 19th ult. 6ays: | "General WADI: HAMPTON arrived in this city a few j days ago and proceeded to his plantation on tho coast. Wo leam that the General brought out a large number of freedmen from South Carolina to cultivate his fine plantation on thc coast. The Hon. PORCHER MILES, formerly a distinguished member of Congress from Charleston, S. C., is in our city, and we are pleased to learn entertains j the idea of permanently locating herc. Wo arc gratified to greet among tho new residents of our city, Colonel E. J. GOODE, late of Monticello, Miss. Colonel GOODE was one of the prominent members of the late State Convention of Mississippi, and one of thc three Commissioners to whom that wise and dignified body committed thc revision of the laws of tho State.-' Thc St. Louis papers report that tho bush? whackers of Casa County arc renewing their old diabolical and murderous practices. On thc 2Cth ult., as the train from Kansas City to St. Louis was leaving Lee's Summit station, twenty-five or thirty shots were fired into two of thc cars, con? taining about sixty passengers. A bullet passed through a gentleman's coat sleeve, and a number ! of the windows wore perforated, but fortunately ! nobody was hurt. Ge n. ULVNT and several mern- ; hers of bis etsff were on the train. The shot? were find from revolvers and wire fired in the . dark, the marksmen standing close to the tracie. I The conductor put spurs to his iron horse and did ; not wait for a repetition of thc unwelcome salute. A Cincinnati merchant, in a letter to thc Gazette of that city, written from ''Down tho Mississippi," discountenances thc lugubrious representations of the state of tho cotton business which have lately c me from tho South. He says: "Passing down \ho Mississippi River, after an absence of severa mouths, one is struck by tho fact that cot- j ton is still coming out of the old Confederacy, and j going to merket in large quantities. The receipts | at New Orleans, weekly, are from fifteen to twenty thousand bales, and thc amount in Memphis last week waa forty thousand. It was thought live or I six months ago that, with thc avenues of com- ! moree so nearly opened as they then were, sixty i days would suffice to get the great bulk to market ; but now the New Orleans factors estimate that j hardly before thc first of March, or even April, will it all be ont. How the statistics will settle I that much mooted question, ns to thc amount of j cottou in the Southern States at thc close of thc j war, I have not the data at hand to state: but one thing appears pretty certain, thc cotton famine j will not be so great ns so many have anxiously sought to have us believe. The dearth will be most felt during thc summer months, but early in thc fall next year's crop of cotton will begin to pour into mnrket, and I am satisfied, from what I , have seen and heard in my present trip, that it will be very much larger than any estimate I have yet seen placed upon it.-' ts- AU eommumeattona intended for publicalionin l thisjonrr til must Oe addressed to Ute Editor of ! thellaibj Jx'eirs.

That a difference of policy j exists has been very certain; but where those j functionaries, upon their lines of policy, will ;, come in contact, or whether collision of au. ;, thority would certainly occur, were questions ;, about which there is great diversity of opin- i ion. It would now appear that such contest must necessarily occur, and must occur soon. : Congress would seem resolved to forco the is- j ^ sue, and at a period curlier than than that at j which it might naturally arise. Immediately upon the restoration of author- 1 ity at the South, it became necessary for tho | f Government to appoint officers to its several j departments within the limits of the Southern j States : and ns there were very few men of jharacter and capacity who bad not contrib- ' ated iu some way to sustain the Confederate j . :uuse, and as the oath of office established hy Congress was exclusive of any such contribu- ] tier, or of aid, encouragement or participa- ! don in any form whatever, the Government was reduced to tho necessity of cither send- < ing Northern men to these offices within the i seceded States, or of appointing Southern men without the obligation of that oath, who. ? receiving no compensation, might perform tiie ; llutics of those offices until such lime UH Con? gress might act upon the subject. The effort, however, to dispense with au act i of Congress, presented to the p irty opposed : to the President au opportunity for an attack i t to good to be omitted, and Mr. SUMNER, j' therefore, had scarcely taken his seat in the j Senate before introducing a resolution which was promptly carried, calling upon the Gov- j eminent for information in reference to that j i fact. Tho information was as promptly fur- : iiished, and it w;is left for Congress to deter-, mine what action they would take. Their nc- j tion bas becu taken, :md in the House it wus decided, i>y a vote of 12'? to that thc oath ! should lw required. What course the Presi? dent will luke under these circumstances is I not apparent. If uificcrs at tho South could, continue the disoh.'irgo of their duties without compensation, it mu-t bo a que-aum nt mo-; nicht whether ho will retain them under Ibis!, vote of censuro un his course ; or if he shall ' determine to do so, ho muy bc still further I embarrassed hy the rclosal of thu Senate to confirm such as. muy require confirmation. . But few of them eau continue in oilier, long,; without compensation ; and it would seem, j then-fere, that he must soon come to the point: at which he will be compelled tn act in ac-j c.< r lance with thc policy of Congress, or lake j the responsibility of overriding trie law and of j adi ns on his own. To the solution ol' this ? que*!i-?ti we mu.-t como at an early day, and j to that we, of necessity, must look with ex-1 ceediug interest. iRLESTOar PAIL IT IS a matter of curiosity, if n teresi, to determine what ie the condi expected of the people of the Sout: will show thc proper spirit in thei tanco of their present situation. 1 leading journals, and particularly the interest of the Republican part^ thing wc do is a subject of offence some States there be acts passed in to the negroes, the object is to injur if in others there be not, the object is them unprotected: if planters meet, 1 mino upon tho means upon which tl re-establish their plantations, it is a c tion to tako advantage of their former if they do not, and make no effort to them, it is tho evidence of a heartless i to let thc negroes starve. Every a every word has its double meaning people of tho South are false to their | and their nature, of which their even but the evidence; their highest duty and man is to convict them of tho wroi to that praiseworthy purpose they d themselves with a zeal which exhib belief that the practice of that ono will ato ic for the want of every other. An exhibition of this spirit occurs ii tion to an invitation extended by tho L turc of Alabama to Gen. HAMPTON, t Montgomery, to take a seat on the fl that Assembly. At this occurrence th York Tribune exhibits a virtuous indig that is truly edifying. Xo such hone ever yet been paid to a General in tho s of thc United States; and the exhibition e courtesy to a gentleman otherwise i guished, but who had been guilty of he office under tho Confederate Governmen an offence which it could scarcely cl terize with sufficient severity, and evince feeling which unfits that State for a : trance into tho Federal Union. Of the co ness of the Tribune on this subject, wc not undertake to speak. If the assumpt the Tribune bc correct; if the South bc quered, subjugated, at mercy, and sha! fit for restoration to the Union only upo abnegation of its manhood, self-respect, ing, judgment and volition ; if it be trul offence to take action of its interest, or c business, or to raise its hand to protect its head, or say that its soul is its own, then conclusion of that journal is correct, effort of planters at the South to counsel of their interests, and hardihood of the Legislature of bama in extending a courtesy to Gen. IL TON, or to any one, evinces feelings that i thc Southern States for restoration to Union. Such actions do exhibit that ther not that abnegation, dependence and ab ment considered necessary by the Tribune But whether tho fact be 60 or not, has ye bo determined. There is a policy of rost? lion in which such perfect abnegation : abasement is not required. Whiner t policy, or the policy presented by the 1 bune, shall provail, has yet to be decid? ind until it shall bc-until it is detennh that a re-entrance into tho Union is inc sistent with some sense of responsibility c self-respect-it is not to be expec that such sense will be abandoned ; and wi it shall be so determined, it will then remi For the people of these States to consie whether such illusive entrance shall ?vorth tho price, or whether, if 6uch ensla1 aient be their fate, it were not as well ake it without the mockery of further forr "WE ARE almost ashamed to chronicle t Fact that the widow and child of the illusi ms Southern hero-Stonewall JACKSON low in destitute circumstances, living in ?mall house in Lexington (Va.) on the palt pittance of $150 per annum. This startlii intelligence is recorded in tho New Yoi Daily Nctcs, in a letter from one (perhaps Northern man) whose deep sympathy for tl widow and orphans of our fallen hoi prompts au appeal to Northern men in thc behalf. This appeal is published in a Ne ?ork journal to which the South owes a dee ;lebt of gratitudo for past fa\ors, and wi I no doubt, be responded to by liberal-niitule Northern men. But wc would not have said that the peoplo of the South, the peopl in defence of whom thc great Stonewall JACK SON fought and died, could look tamely Ol with purses closed, and sec his family sue cored by other more generous hands. X matter how poor wc are, we surely havi enough among us all to support one ncedi woman and. her child. We should mos cheerfully take tho last crust of bread fron our mouths to break it in half and sharo i with the widow of our dead hero. But wi are not called upon to do this.

But words are but us empty air. Wo must act. We propose, therefore, to do ourselves the busting honor ol' taking tho initiative in thc good work, and feel confident that every journal throughout the South will follow our example A subscription list will bo opened on this day-this, the third day of the new year-for thc purpose of raising funds to be applied to the relief of JACKSON'S widowand orphan. Whilst large amounts will not be refuse 1, the smallest will be gratefully ac? cept ' ; and on every Saturday we will credit the amounts received, with the names of the donors, except iu cases where they ilo not de? sire their names to appear in the list.
