Louisville Jour?*i?, tmx Slate Agrioultural Sociotj held an Animal .Hestin- at Frankfurt, and ita deliberations ?re in? teresting and important to tho whola Common "Weslth. The snbjeei of labor was discussed at :*ome length and with considerable rigor, and so ^riial to tho futuro welfare of the Stat? was th? -sjoesiion regarded, a resolution waa adopted in faror of holdiug a Farmer's Convention at Frank -iott on the 11th of this month, to coDsidor the en .?rs labor problem. Tho Committee appointed ou i-?s occasion haro issued tho following call to tho . scricultnralists of Kentucky: . At a meeting nf tho Kentucky Stat? Agriaulinr.il Bociety. in Frankfort, on tho 14th ult., a resolution .was adopted authorizing th? undersigned a? a, committee to call a convention to assemble at Frankfort on tho 11th of January, 1866, under tho .. -??picos of the St ato Agricultural Stoiety, pr tho --purpose of considering t!ie subject of labor in Ken ' sseky. The present deranged eonditton of the Z labor system of tho State; renders it vastly impor ? tant that steps should bo immediately taken to . supply tho lack of labor, and with a view thoroto to . ..courage the immigration of a desirablo class of ". "3abcrer?;to Kentucky. Thc undersigned, therefore, * *' earnestly urge upon tho farmers in all portions of th? State to ?end delegates to the convolition. Let . ...erery county bo represented. The subjects to bo ?reensidered embrace tho most vital interests of the Commonwealth, and we hope, for the futurs pros ! rperity and wealth of tho State, that tho convention -ir?l bs largely attended. L. J. BRADFORD. R. YT. SCOTT, HARRISON TAILOR, A. O. HODGES, Committe?. "PlBLET," tho Washington corrospondent of the tSoston ?Tournoi, says:-"About a fortnight since -as the Lieutenant-General was driving over from ^?sorgetown to Washington, a butchers* cart, . ?Vawn by a itrey horse, carno up alongside at a fast gait. Now, tho Licutenant-Goneral lia? a weakness for fast horses and for fast traveling, so 'hespoko to his horse, 'Ciueinnatus,' expocting to give tho meat wagon tho go-by easily. But tho :?T?jr nag pelted away, and although th? Lieuten? ant-General and 'Ciueinnatus' tried to 'light it out en that line.' they wero beaten in going on? Hook, and distanced before having reached the sscond . -.?ross street. From that moment th? oonqucror ..f the rebellion determined to own th? nag that ?.us-trotted 'Ciueinnatus,' and all of his personal ? Mends were soon enlisted in th? movement to puroha.se this unknown stood. CUADWICX, mino lost of Willard's Hotel, wa9 the fortunata dis ?.overer of tho gallant groy, which, on a quiot trial, proved faster thar tho oxporiono?d oyo of tho Zisotonant-Gencrai had supposed. Th? nag had Ikssn bought at a sale of condomnod horses, and was obtained from its owner for $350. Hsnoefortb, .instead of plodding along with a load of moat or of ?abbages, the grey trotter will be harnessed to tho light wag i of tho Lieutenant-General, and it is .predicted that it will enable him to show his friend Mr. BONNER as good tims as ha was treated to in New York. -Condition of tile Freedmen IR South. Oa.ro. Una. ? The following extract from a letter, written by unintelligent Christian lady, residing in the in terior of South Carolina, will be read with inter sss*: -, S. C., December 19,1865. Next Monday will be Christmas. I wian you ?nd your littlo" family manv happy returns of tho sjcuon. This Christmas rinds us in very different .sireumstanees from auv wo havo bofore experi? enced. But, tha::k God, tho war is over I Sad changes have taken placo in the condition *?f tho whites, but the negroes aro tho worst suf? ferers. How my heart bleeds for tho poor croa snrosl And if you could soo thom, you, too, ?ould be moved to pity them. I prosumo many thousands will dio this winter from cold ahd hun? ger, hut there is no help for it, as tuero is nu pro? vision fpr them. Their funner masters havo not tho moans to help them, and, though they have sur Sympathies, little eau bo dono for their relief. Somo of thc freedmen will work steadily, but Tory many of them seek employment for a few days, and thou spend their earnings in drunken? ness and gambling. The sudden emancipation of 'the negroes is the worst thing that ever happened for them. I will giro you an instante-one of many. You remember, perhaps, my house-girl, Piora? Sh* has been married u number ot years and has several children. Her husband is a me? chanic. Whilst a slave, he employed every sparc moment in earning something for his wife and .children. Besides the wages which he paid his former master, ho has often mada from $15 to-$20 ??er month, by jobs done of evenings anil in his eisurc hours. Now, although ho controls his "wholo time, bo does not earn $10 in a month. Ho drinks, Rambles and loafs the greater part of tho ?imo. Since he bas become a freedman, ho trios to domonstrati ":i-? "manhood" by dogging and flu-treating his wife ; something that ho never at? tempted wlion ho was a slave. Tho burdon of aenpporting the family now falls upon tho wife. It ?would make you sorry to see her. Sbo was for unerly one of the merriest and most pleasant .?creatures you ever saw. Now, sho looks thin. Baaggard. and careworn, and Ims lost all her viva? city. I do all to help her that my limited means Mjrill allow. Her children come to ino evorr day to srecito their lessons- (for I am trying to "educate ?hcni), and I have established a'Sabbath School ifor them and all other colored children who may ?be disposed to attend. Action Agulnst the Secretary ot* War. [Frowi the New York Herald, Uh.] S?PREirx COUKT-CIIAMBIT.S.-Joseph H. Mad? dox, vs. Edwin M. Stanton.-Tho arrests by mili -tfcary process, now that thc war is over, aro causing somewhat of a stir in our Civil Courts. Tho pres? ent action may bo considered a tost as to tho liability uf Government officers for any arbitrary measures that may have been exercised during tho .progross of the war. In the suit about to bo triod, .the facts, according to thc complaint and answer, :aro as follows : On or abeu" the 18th of April, 1864, Mr. Joseph H. Mad.lux was arrested inlial *?nore by order of thc Secrotarv of War. Tho ?charges alleged against him were that ho, in Com? pany with M. E. Mrrtin and J. F. Manahan, held unlawful inter jonrse with tho rebels, in the trans? portation of goods, illicit corro-poudeuco, .Vc., written evidences being shown to provo tho fact. 'That on those charges he was confined at Camp Hamdton, Fortress Monroe, until thc 8th of June following, and again arrested on thc ICth of -March, 1865, being this time confined for sixtv aine days. Plaintiff was arrested on those oee? utons under the name of James Brown. While thus confined he alleges that a large quantity of 'tobacco, belonging to him and placed at Fr?de ricksburg, Va., for safe-keeping, was destroyed bv ?brders of the defendant. It also alleged in the .complaint that he received permission from Presi? dent Lincoln to purchase this tobacco in Rich? mond, and that he was acting solely under Execu? tive authority. He claims that in consequence of the sudden and unlawful seizure of his person foomg prevented from having intercourse willi friends and counsel, ho has been materially in? frared, both financially and physically, and seeks xor damages to the amount of one hundred thou? sand dollars. Secretary Stanton, in his answer, says that he is "not a resident of thu city of New York, but of 'Washington, D. C. That thc plaintiff was arrested "for violation of the Articles OZ War, and was after . wards discharged on parole, after giving proper .-security for his appearance when required. That -st the time of his arrest, war existed, and Balti . more was under martial law, and that plaintiff was taken in custody by thc Provost Marshal of .that city, and not by any command uf the re? spondent. Thc caso came up in Court yesterday on a motion' of ex-Judge Cowies, to strike out tho whole or a portion of the answer. Ex-Judge Pierpont, on the part of the Secretary ?of War, opposed the motion. * ' The poiuts of law governing this branch of thc subject were argued at sume length. Judge Sutherland reserved his decision. While Secretary Stanton was in this eitv, some ! months since, a process was served upon him, .which brought the ease before our Courts. Tho FasUiou of Red Hair. A French irritar-M. JULES DEXIZ?T-k?s written .ts article ir * Taris journal under ibo tillo of "Tho Berengo of th? Red-Headed," in which ho dise?asen a prevailing continental fashion, and gives aomo interesting information. Uoiug back to Homo in ?ho timo of tho GssABft, lie reminds his countrymen that in thoao days ibo mad and tho bad among women wore ordered by the edile or, as M. DEXGSET says, thy prefect of police of tho period-to wear red hair. lied hair, then, was a mark of degradation ; but all this is changed now. M. DBMZIIT says : Thc Homans got enormous quantities'' nf bair from Germany. Most of it in the present day cornea also from Germany, aa well as Brittany and Normandy. Paris annually exports upwards of 100,000 kilograms (about 200,000 pounds) to Eng? land and America. A fowyaars ago its price, from a living head, was from livo to ten franca tho kilo? gram, according to tho length andcolor. Ked hair, which iras formerly unsaleable, except for dyeing, ia this roar ni a premium; but-tho rage cannot last long. Hair of this color is generally coarse and harsh; and taste!) will, no doubt, return to black and blondo, which aro twice aa linc and three timca as soft and flossy. Hod hair dries, black and blonde thicken. Tho first preparation which hair undergoes immediately raiaca its price to eighty franca tho kilogram. In our time the ra liljtation of the rod haired commenced in the ? Jaif Errant/' in which Eugene Sue depicted Mdlle do Cordoville in auch glowing colora that, for her charming sake, thc hitherto despised ahado rose a little in public opinion. How many persona havo wo known Hooking by cvory means in their powor to turn tho hated red into brown or chest? nut? Oils, pomadoa, brass and leaden comba were the aupposod remedies, and these failing, dye was resorted to. At school, tho red-haired boy or girl was tho butt for every joke, tho -scapegoat for every mis? chievous trick and escapado. If an inquiry waa mado aa to tho perpetrator ol' any offence, 'It was tho roquin who did it,' choruaed the boya. 'It WOB the ronuine,'cried tho girls. Childron whose hoads were dressed in red lost their patronymis at school, and wero simply known aa tho roquin or thc ro quine. If, aa wa8 generally tho caac, freckloa were an accompaniment, tho victim was aaid to 'bear tho brand of Judas iu Ina faco I' What wonder, then, if with this troatmcnt tho red-haired Hold become sullen and disagreeable, and in some sort merited tho reputation given him beforehand? In tho talo of 'The Fair Ono with thu Golden Hair" no child could ever have imagin? ed tho face of thc beautiful princess framed in red locks I Her hair must havo been fino threads of real goldi A-? to a red-httirudprincess, such a thing waa never heard of 1 The fairy tale would havo lost all ita interest in thc eyes of children had auch a hermine boon possible. Uoofca.'evcn, ut' thia' color were looked upon with dislike. Mistresses pretended that the peculiar odor of their hair lout itself unpleasantly to the sauces, turned tho milk and spoiled tho jams! Now, all that ia changed; red hair ia tho mod?. The young mother prays that her coming babe, if a girl, may have red locks; and if il baa, ita for? tuno ia mado. The red-haired beauty is taking her revenge; abo carries her chignon like a Hag, and gathering under it, aided by fashion, every shade of chesnut, blonde and black, transform's them all into red. Hut ton' passe, lout taste; and to-morrow tho mods may chango. However, although tho triumph of tho rod-haired may provo but that of a season-their glory but ephemeral-still there ia no doubt that they will never descend to their former disgraceful position. The prejudice of ages having once been removed, they havo beon admitted to an equality with their moro favorod sisters. But now a word of advico and warning : lot them descend a few etops from the laddc r they havo climbed so triumphantly, lest a apcody reaction may precipitate thom thoro from. COST or COTTO:* GOODS.-In a few weeks thoro will be an active movomont mado to get Congress to incroase the duties on certain foreign imports. Thia will be dono on tho ground of protection, and not of incrcaao of rovenuo. Thoro may bo manufactures that need some additional legisla? tion, but a briof examination of the dividond hat of a large number of New England companies will satiafv any reador that th? milla which are making cotton gooda aro not of that class. Tho dividends referred to range from twenty per cont to ono hundred and twonty per cent, and embrace cotton gooda from spool cotton lo tho lineal print gooda. Women who work with thoneid'.o or sow? ing machino will learn from th?s exhib?*, that the roaaon why their apool cotton ia so c-itly ia not ao npich becaueo of tho high prico of cotton or of ( ?jold, but bocauso those companies must mako argo dividends for thoir stockholders. ? Wo havo tho authority of tho Economist for tho statement that tho prouent coat of making a "Sprague" print (calico) is 17 conta a yard; but ' tho pneo at tho mill ia 27 cents a yard. It ia hard to see how it is that manufactures paying profits j liku tlicao need any further protection. Addition? al duties will only bring additional coat to the eon- , sumor, and all for the profit of thc companies al? ready dividing such large profita to their stuck- I holders.-Philadi'tph ia Lc Iyer. , n GPX CoTTOX.-Wo havo before alluded to thc 1 fact that rone wed at tout ion is being paid to the ? manufacturo of gun cotton for tho aatno uses to , which gunpowder has been applied; and, so far as milling purposes are concerned, there is ho doubt Mt now that it eau bu used with great advantage. Hy making gun cotton in threads, and winding it round sticks of wood, it ia found that tho sudden? ness of the explosion can bo controlled, ao xs to render it much moro efficient than powder, while tho absence of smoke becomes a very important matter in a mine, where ventilation Ls ao difficult. ; Hut, it seem a that General Sabine, of tho British army, ia now carrying on experiments that will I Erobablv ?ead to its adoption in the British army, otb with tho Whitworth and Enfield rifles, By a 1 proper mode of construction of the cartridge, the tendency of a rapidity of combustion, which ia : too great, ia avoided, and tho cotton in tho ritlo ia now found to command fully aa great a rango aa tho beat powder. At a thousand yards cxcellont targot practice has boon effected, although tho cartndgca, being made by hand, are 'uferior to what they will be aa to uniformity when made by machinery. Two thousand ?hots have been lirod from the same rillo without doing it tho leaat harm. There ia scarcely ?ny smoke, far loss rocoil of tho pieco, and no folding. Thc aportsmen of England and Scotland have, sinco tho first of August, very extensively adopted thc gun cotton cartridges, for which thero baa sprung up a sudden and groat demand. , Eventually, it ia supposed that tue same princi- , pies rill cause the substitution of thu new car- \ tridge for iron ordnanco, which will vorymush do away with thc smoko, if not tho roar, of cannon, I and chango greatly tho fate of war. It is also said that it can ho" manufactured moro cheaply ; and frith far lesa danger than gunpowder, and also that it can be stored with much less danger. ' Boston Advertisements.

MERCHANTS, MANUFACTURERS, CAPTTALISTS. and all other, having valuables to preserve, will Moral! their own interests by the selection of a reliable security, in place of one of doubtful character. To ena? ble thom to decide understandingly, we would suggest the examination, of a few facts wo have to prenant Tho points required In tho flre-proof niling of a Safe, may bo enumerated aa follows : 1st. It must be a slow conductor of heat 3d. It must hold a largo quantity of water to voporlzf when attacked by Are. 3d. It must bu unchangeable until a more than ord! cary degree of beat ls applied. In this consists one of the ckicf merits of using alum. 4th. It must bo of such consistency that it'will ncith< er escapo through small leak?, nor crack into fragmente when oxposcd tu violent heat cr to severo concussions In falling. 5th. It should not oxidize or rust tho iron frame, as di wet mixtures, such as plaster mixed with water, ?re io well known to do. (?th. It should not communicate dampnoss to tho in? terior chamber, aud thereby mould books, Impair parch? ment and other valuables. 7th. Its value in all tho above conditions should not bo impaired by age and reasonable usage. lu cvory Safo that is thoroughly flre-proof, there must bo something to gonerato steam. Heretofore we have used Plaster of Paris, mixed with wator, for this purpose. The objections to using wator in tho filling of Safes ure : It renders tho Safo very damp, theroby often ruining papers by loosening seals, fte. It soon corrodes thc iron of the Safo, and rusts holes through which the filling oozes out. By the evaporation of the wator thc Safo soon becomes loss flre-proof. Those objections we have ontirely obviated in our present Safo, as our Ailing is as dry as gunpowder, and when the Ara takes place, tho steam is generated by tho melting of the alum.

THI ONLY RECOGNIZED DEMOCRATIC NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED IN NEW TORR, DAILY, SEMI-WEEKLY AND WEEKLY. TO THE PUBLIC. ? THI Ha\f YORK NEWS HAS BATTLED AGAINST dospotlsm for four years of blood and terror, in assertion ot tbs sanctity of th? Constitution. A patriot? ism sufficiently broad to ombraco both sections has been its only guide, and it rofora now with houost pride to its record to show that it his not turnod to the right or tho loft under aU tho violcnco of arbitrary power. True to its principles as THE NEWS has been through thc reign of terror, it challongcs public confidence in its honosty and independence for tho futuro. Tho political transition of the present day opens to THE NEWS a new and wider field of usefulness. Stand? ing now as it always has, on tho inviolability of tho Con? stitution, according to the interpretation of tho strict constructionists, it presents a rallying ground for all, in both sections, who aro friouds of a generous conserva? tism. As a truo and tried oxponont of sectional amity it occupies a position which makes it tho fitting mediator bi holding up to the party of ordor in both soctions, in? terests and principles that gara breadth and vitality to their alliance. As an intcrscctional agent, devoted lo freedom of election, to trial by jury, to tho sanctity of the habeas corpus, and opposed now, as for four years of terror it has been, to the centralization that dares to tramplo on th? rights of States, North or South, THE NEWS places itself as a candidato for support before thc great body of this ouce freo people. Tho clrcumstancss of the moment make the dissemina? tion af the principias of Tun NEWS a duty of individual patriotism. Every man who concurs in ita doctrine must, if he ontortain a true sens? of freedom, do so in no spirit pf indifference, but rather with the earnestness of a high trust. Justified, nay bound, in his love of liberty to do so, tho proprietor placas the canvass ho makes hero of th? public generally in tho bands of thoso men who gira him tho approval of their consciences as his individual agents. Every reader of Tun Haws eannot avoid tb? conviction of duty which is here pointed out as the ground of the request, that he urges its claims for a wider support upon all of his friends and neighbors who give their earnest sympathies to the caus? of "strict construction," inter sectional conciliation, and all th? righto of th? citizens under the system setup by our fa'.hers of liberty regu? lated by law. The proprietor of TUE NEWS calls, there? fore, upon good aud true Conservatives throughout the country to discharge to their convictions of political right at this great crisis in the country's fortunes, the duty of giving to the influence of his paper, daily, semi-weekly or weekly, the wider powor for good which it seeks hore through the servies of its individual sup? porters.
