Tho steamship (?uaker Oily, Captain WEST, ar rivod here from New York yesterday with a good passenger and freight list, She brings papers up to Saturday last, for which we are indebted to Purser J. P. MCELBOY. IQ India, disturbances of a somewhat serious nature wero reported as having occurred along the Punjaub frontier. A Convention of the Assessors aud Collectors of Internal Bevcnuo of all the Southern States will tako placo at Atlanta (Ga.) on tho 1st of March next. We learn an agent from Washington will bo present. Tho object of this Convention will be to secure a more uniform system of managing tho Internal Revenue affairs of the South. A Savannah paper of a late date contains tho following: "Mr. L. S. BENNETT, the agent here of the steamer Rockland, which has been running between here and Charleston, received a telegram yesterday, stating that the Rockland had been sold to Captain FEBDERICK ADAIB, for $10,500. The new owner proposes running her between Charles? ton and Mount Pleasant as a Ferry Boat. It appears by the records in the Treasury De? partment that the revenue received from the Southern States from April, 1865, to the firat day .f this month, amounts to nearly $29,000,000, prin? cipally derived from abandoned lands and internal revenue. Louisiana has paid over $8,000,000 of this, while from Virginia less than $1,000,000 has boon received. Among the last on dita at Washington is one to the effeot that GEORQE BANCROFT'S friends have been urging him for the New York Collectorship; but that he has declined in expectation of becom? ing Secretary of State, should the Cabinet bo re? formed. Mr. BANCROFT'S chances for tho position are considered formidable. A bill has been introduced in the New Joreoy Legislature, to secure the safety of passengers on railroads in that State, which provides for tho ap? pointment of three persons, not stockholders, officers or employees of any railroad in the State, to be called "The Railroad Board of Commission? ers," and names tho duties which they are to dis? charge. A great fair is about to be held in Baltimore, fer the relief of the suffering people of certain portions of tho South. Toe fair is gotten up at the instance of Mr. B. J?. SWAYNE, of that city, who bas already been notified of the delivers- of goods to the amount of $10,000, and $40,000 or $50,000 more are expected from New York oity. The project promises to bean immense success. The following officers hare been detailed as members of a Joint Board of Army and Navy offi? cers, to consider and report upon the subject of harbor defences, torpedoes, Ac: Brevet Brig.- ] Gens. J. G. BAR.VARD, B. S. ALXXAMUEB, and Q. A. . GUXMOBE, on tho part of the army, and Admirals j CHABLBS H. DAVLS, JOH? H. DAHLOEKK, and Capt. JAMES ALDEN, on the part of the navy. Tho Board * will assemble at the Navy Department on the 1st 1 cf Marok next. I A Brownsville letter says, about the now f famous town of Bagdad: " Bagdad is a city of some importance, which has grown up in the blockade-running interest during the late war. They claim a population of ten thousand, but I 1 think half that number is a largo estimato. I was < there once, and was not favorably impressed with < the aspect of matters there at that time. It is (or was) important to the Imp?rialiste, and its cap? ture (if it can be held) will necessitate the sur? render of the whole Northern frontier by the Im- 1 peria! forces." 1 The Rockingham (Va.) Remitter, of Friday, says i that a history of the lato war is now being written by two highly-educated and accomplished gentle? men of the Yaliey, Colonel WILLIAM AL LEN and Professor J. HOTCHKISS, of Staunton. Both of these gentlemen were connected with thc army of Northern Virginia from tho inception of the con? test, and, therefore, aro in posse?* iou of fa<-t? and incidents which others, who have afMiinifd the delicate and labo:ious task of writing on the name subject, cannot command. The rteainship roraica, at New York from Ha? vana, brines the following Mexican nows: There was greic activity in French military affairs at Vera Crna, but not of a character to indicato an early evacuation of the country by the Europeans. Freneh troops in large numbers were arriving at Vera Cruz from tho interior and embarking un transports. They were not, however, bound for France, but, it was understood, for the defence of j Tampico, which waa seriously threatened by tho R?publicain, ami it rv even intimated that they were intended for fronlior service against both tho RopublicariH ami tho United States. Tliero was a rumor that the Imperialista bad already been com? pelled to surrender Tampico, though an account! of a severe defeat of the Republican* in thc victo- j ity of that cuy .-..me, to us hy way of New Or- ' leann.

TIIUESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 22, 1866. VETO OF TUE FREEDMEN S li UREA U BILL. -o The reto of the President of the bill en? larging the powcrB of the Freedmen's bu? reau, the telegraphic pnnouncement of which wnB published yesterday, will hare been re? ceived by our readers with interest, and, of coarse, with pleasure. fThere are many con? siderations to render that act of vast import? ance. It ie an interposition to proteet ns from a very great calamity; bat it is also the une? quivocal acceptance of the issue presented by the Radical party in Congress. With calm? ness, composure, the most perfect propriety of tone and manner, bat with the utmost firmness, the President has proceeded to ad? minister the Government upon his theory of restoration. That theory has been repudiated by tho majority in Congress. It was conve? nient for them to treat the Southern States as out of the Union. It was upon that theory they could keep them out-in that way hold the control of CougreEB; and to make their theory good, they have grasped nt the powers of the Government itself. They have presented measures projeoted on their theory ; they have required the Presi? dent to approve them; they have required him, in doing so, to ropudiate his own convictions to undo his own work; they have loft him no option, in fact, but to be tho 6lave or the master of Congress; and we take this veto to be the distinct announcement of the fact thai, ho prefers, if compelled to ohoose, to be ita master. What may be thc consequences, doos not yet appear. The Radical party may have intendod, from the first, tho game of brag, and, assured that it will bo uusuocessfui, they may abandon it, and accopt the fact under some convenient subterfuge. But it is not certain they will do so. It is not certain they aro not in earnost-that they do not, in fact, be? lieve in their ability to storm the Government -that they have yet tho discretion to shun the further consequences of collision; or that, with so much at stake upon thia move, they have the morai power to renonnce it. They have ventured upon an act of usurpa? tion. The fact ie ne unquestionable as was the act of secession by the South ; their as? sault was aa clear as was our bombardment of Fort Sumter. Against it must necessarily be arrayed the Union sentiment of the country. That sentiment is now too strong to be resist? ed. It is stronger now, since tho Southern States are forced to realise that their fortunes are indissolubly associated with that Union, than it ever was before. Unity is now the paramount fact against which sectionalism ;an never stand ugain. Upon this question the leaders of the movement now in Congress san never go before the people. Their politi? sai fortunes and their power are irrevocably staked upon the present cast. They now con? trol Congress; it is not certain that they will aver have a majority in either House again. What efforts they are to make must be made now; and it ?B not certain that from the present move they will, or oan withdraw, un? til they have realized the full calamities of its consummation. Should they not, the final contest comes upon this measure. If they shall have the power, they will paBS tho bill over the veto. That they have the power is not certain, though it is said they have ; and when that is done, ?hen comes the crash. The President will, )f course, reply to the Southern delegations. ; lu accordance with the theory under which ie acts, and upon which he will have staked lie fortunes, the members of these delega ions are as much membors of the several louses of Congress as are these who exclude hera from their 6eats. The President will tot accept, as the judgment of Congress, an tct which certain members there assembled tre able to perform in virtue, only, of this ex ilusion of others as justly members as them? selves. Either he is wrong in bia theory .'ither these States are not in the Union and )ur delegations are not entitled to admission w their exclusion is an not which he must repudiate when the question comes, as it will thus come, in an official form before him; and replying to the Sonthern delegations, and re? fusing to regard as an act of Congress a res? olution of the present body passed without them, and refusing to execute the bili, there? fore, for reason that it will not have been passed by the necessary authorities of law it will be for the Radical party in Congress to make their next move, upon which will depend conxequemrex ,,f incalculable mo? ment. Having proceeded sn far, it is not to be supposed that they will there stop j for the mo? tives to impel them will be as Btrong as ever. But it is not easy to perceive how much far? ther they can advance. Impeachment would be the most obvions ?tep, but that would be as inoperative as the passage of the bill over the Executive veto, if the President shall disregard the one act of Congress for reason I that it was uo sufficient act, for the stronger ' reason will he disregard the other, that it ie ? not only not an act of Congress, hut is the ' utterance of personal and political hostility against h im; elf. Nor less important would bo the attempt to seize thc functions of the Executive and ] carry the bill, hy any agencies they may I possess, into effect; the first step in that; direction would he II: act of ?iolr?ici?. j which *culd render ncocssa^ the arrest and | punishment of the offender ; and Bhoi I neither course he adopted, there would se to be nothing loft but, by a refusal of i j propriations, to lock the wheels of G< [cr?ment, which could only last nntil othor election. That, in fact, would be hu form of going beforo tho country upon I chargo that the President would not lc faction in Congress take the Government fr him, upon which they could not staud, course. No respectable party in the count however they might solicit power, could sort so bold a pretext to its attainment; n regarding, therefore, this veto of tho Pr< I dent as the beginning of tho CDd, we aro dined to regard it, also, as virtually iii upon the whole subject in controversy. UiriTED STA TES DISTRICT JUDGE. -o We are pleased to be ablo to announce t appointment of GEOKOE S. BRYAN, Esq., His Excellency the President of the Unit States, to the office of District Judge of t Federal Judicial District of Sonth Carolii Judge BRYAN has boon too long and t well known to the citizens of the Stato render it important to present information to his history or fitness for thia distinguish office. Of profound thought, of nmiablo d: position, and eminently courteous and eons* ontious, ho cannot fail of boing agreoablo the profession, while there must be the ge eral assurance, in thc present gloomy peril of our fortunes, that ho will discharge tl duties of that office with perfect justice ai humanity; and, while profoundly respoctf of power, ho will not be Usa respectful the rights and liberties of his fellew-eitizet In the bestowal of this office upon Judj BRYAN there has been much propriety. I bas been a constant and conscientious su porter of the Government ; and, though h mind, perhaps, ia more critical than juc cial-though he may be moro inclined policy than law-more ambitious of the cha aoter of a statesman than a jurist-it is n to be doubted that ho will give to bis offii tho onergies of his intellect, and disoharg with distinguished ability, its importa dudes. _ THE SOUTH CAROLINA RAILROAD. -o The meeting of the stockholders of th South Carolina Railroad, lately held in th city, was satisfactory, doubtless, to the stocl holders, and thuse having a direct pecuniar interest in the reconstruction and operatic of that important publie work, Bul we ri gret that it was not the occasion of as muc information to the public genorally aa migl have been desired. It may, perhaps, be question for debate whether the community without a pecuniary interest in the enterprise have the right to intervene in its procaedingi and entertain and express opinions upon tb proper and efficient management of its affair; But whether they have that, right or not, the have that incidental interest in ita eperation which renders it impossible fur them to b indifferent to the state of iU progress, or th modes of its proceedings. It has been accepl ed as one of the necessary conditions of th city. Business arrangements of every oho racter have boen predicated upon the assump tion that it will afford efficient means of oom mnnication with the country. It was, in fad tho undertaking of the proprietors of tha road that such efficient means of oommuuica tion should be furnished. And now, whei the spring business is about to open-whei tradesmen must sell their goods, if they sel them at all-wheu the business of the yea; depends upon the question .whether merchant from a distance, who are ready to purohasi goods, shall ho able to receive them-it woulc havo been of general satisfaction to have re ceived a statement of the affairs of that norn pany. A statement was, doubtless, presente* to the stockholders, but it hue not been pub lished, and the community is ad much at i loss as to what they may rely on,as they wert before the meeting was held. In the lettei of the President of that road, published by ui some month or more ngo, there was the pro inieo that through freight was to be taken tc Augusta by tho first of February; but that pro? mise was not fully complied with. Such freight was not received as early as the pe? riod indicated, and it is only now, within the last few dav?, that the readiness to accept it it announced. To what extent, however, and under what circumstances it will bo received, still does not appear. There is an inability, therefore, to give correspondents a ta distance full satisfaction on this subject; the inclination to look for goods elsewhere, and by other lines of transportation, still exists, to the pre? judice of our business here; und tho fact is to be regretted. And our merchants, while la? menting tho want of necessary communication with the country, are constrained tu lament the want, also, nf such information as will enable thom to determine when full facilities for communication tuny reasonably bc ex? pected. In saying this much, vc disclaim the pur? pose to reflect upon tho officer! in charge of this road. Wo have not the facts which en? able us to determine whether they have acted efficiently or not, and HO loug ius these officers are approved by the stockholders, who have a more direct interest in tho matter than we have, we might hesitate, upon any state of facts, to express au adversary judgment. Bat wo do say, with iii? most perfect frankness, that we wish the reconstruction of this road bad been more rapid, that it were more complete; linn mercliaiiU from a distance could find trans? portation with their goods as they were wont, to do-in which wishes wo have un doubt that tho officers of thia road will bearii Iv ci u cur; and nc do say, also,thnt ?tis boped ami expect**! <'int measures to the curopleiiou i,f th: ? -i will be nf-prompt a* -vi., r . cur '- shall be possible.
