To the Editor of the News: Dear Sib:-I see by the papers that I have been selected as one of the delegates to represent Beaufort District in tlio Convention that is abont to meet in this city. I do not wish it thus to ap pear that I am in any way committed, directly or ndlrectly, to that movement. I do not moan to reflect upon those who favor it; they are doubtless wise and patriotic. But to me the end and object seom to bo little more than a struggle for a choice of masters, and in snob a sor amble I am qniio willing to leavo it in the hands of those who think otherwise; preferring, myself, to remain in the mott profound retirement, and to enjoy, in the mo?t unobtrusive way, the only ?liberty left mo-the liberty of being obedient. ? Pray givo this a place m your paper, and oblige Your obedient servant, JOS. DANIEL POPE. Visit to the Up-Country. Wo had occasion, some day? nineo, to take a trip to the up-country, and presuming that our readers may bo interested in knowing the goneial oonditiou of the crops, Seo., of that eootion, we present what faota wo wero able to gathor. In Union, Spartanburg and Greenville Distriots the planters havo auflorod severely for want of rain. The corn orops Lave been cut off terribly on this account, and, bo far as we eaw ana could learn, little of that grain will be gathered, ex cepting that plant od upon the bottom lauds. Tho cotton crops have Buffered equally with tho corn. We hoard no complaints of tho labor. Tlje freed rnon, as a general thing, bave worked well, and bave conducted themselves much better than it waa genorally suppoaed thoy would. Wo left, tho Qreeuville Railroad at Allston, and took passage iu a stage to Sholton's, twenty-five milos, over the poorest road wo have over trav elled. From Shelton'* we went upon the Spartan burg and Union Railroad to Spartanburg Court house. The energetic and able President of this railroad, Mr. Jeteb, has had many difficulties to contend with in repairing and rebuilding tho bridgos and track destroyed during the war. We learned that the bridge aorous Broad River at Sholton's will bo built during the fall, and that in two or three weeks cars upon this end of tho road would connect with those upon the other sido of the river, thus obviating the uncomfortable staging over the twenty-five miles we havo men tioned, and carrying freight through without difficulty. We remained over night at Spartanburg 0. II., and were pleased at the general quietude prevail ing in that delightful village. Two hotels are open there-the Palmetto Honse and the Walker House. The former is under the management of Wllxiam Ibvim, Esq., formerly Principal of St. .John's College of that village, and is excellently kept. The latter, we believe, is under the super vision of Mrs. Walkeu. Returning, we carne by way of Greenville The Greenville and Columbia Railroad is in very good oonditiou, so far as our observations went. The company ia pushing rapidly forward the comple tion of the bridge aoross the river at Allston. By the middle of August the cara will be passing over it. Mr. Burks is superintending this work, and is highly complimented for his energy and perse verance. Arriving at Columbia, we drove to Niokeuson's, where wo had all the comforts whioh a first-class hotel can give, and received all the polite atten tions which only such hotel keepers as Mr. Nick KiiBOH know how to extend.

Ona, Lieut. Gov. Poiiteu, and the Hon. B. F. Pebbv and Hon. J. L. Manmn? (Senators elect). Their appointment by the State Convention to the above named position will eminently prove the good -sense, sound judg ment and conservative sentiments of the State.

A Gallant Soldier's BEHTuaorra.-Tho "M? moire of the Confederate War," by Colonel Heros Von Brook, Obief of Rtaff for Gen. J. E. B. Stuart, which have had a run through several numbers of Blackvwud's Magazine, are concluded in the last iaaue (June) of that renowned periodi cal. The following is the oonolnding paragraph of the author's interesting "Memoirs," whioh, doubtless, breathe the eon timen t s of many gallant fellows who still survive the wreck of the " Lost Causo :" Lee's glorious army is no longer in existence. The brave men who formed it have, after in numerable Bufferings, bowed to the enemy's power and numbers, and dispersed to follow peaceful pursuits. But thoso who have survived the fear ful struggle for independence can look back upon a HericB of battles and victories unequalled in his tory; and every one of us will forever speak with pride of the time when he was a soldier of the army of Northern Virginia. I, myself, am still an iuvalid. The ball whioh I carry in my lunga gives mo frequent suffering, and has broken my once bo robust health; but as every renewal of ray pains reminds me of the past, they aro alleviated and almost offaced by the pit-asure with whioh I re vert to the time when I fought side by side with those brave men; and I shall ever rejoice that I drew my sword for the gallaut people of the late Confedoi aoy. Noble sent'monte, nobly expressed. ArFOINTMENT 0*T COUUIBSIOHEBB TO THE PARIS Univebba?

Tho Committeo on tho Judiciary, to whom was referred the resolutions of the Honso of Repre sentatives of April 9th and April 30th, 1866, in structing the committee to inquire iuto the nature of the ovidonoo implicating Jitterson Davis and others in the assassination of President Lincoln, and also whotbor auy legislation is ne cessary in order to bring euch persons to a spocdy and impartial trial, if it should appear that there was probable cause to beliove that said persons, or any of them, are guilty of inoiting, concerting, or procuring tho assassination of the lato Presi dent of tho United States, and also whether any legislation is necessary in order to bring said per sons to a speedy and impartial trial for the crime of treason, submitted a report to tho Houso on the 27th, as onr telegrams have already announced. Tho report is very long and contains a number of letters and documents belonging to tho ofiloial rocords of- the late Confederacy, now in posses sion of the War Department, relating to what was termed the "eocret" service of the Oonfodoraoy. With regard to the trial of Davis, the commit tee are of the opinion that there aro no obstacles to a speedy and impartial trial which can bo re moved by legislation. The ovidenoo in possession of the committee connecting Jeff. Davis with the assassination of President Lincoln justifies the committee in saying that there is probable causo to boliove that be was privy to tho measures which led to the commission of the deed, but tho investigations wbioh have been made by the War Department and by the committee have not re united in plaoing the Qovernment in possession of all the facto in the oase. The committee are of the opinion that a further investigation will re sult in a full development of the whole transac tion. The examination of the captured rebel archives, though not complete, has gone far enough to throw light upon the general policy of the rebel authorities, whioh in many particulars involved a total disregard of international law and of the usages of civilized war. The committee, iu this connection, give a de tailed history of the course pnraned by the Con federate Qovernment towards slaves found in the ranks of the Union army. Most of this in taken from the published ordera of tho rebel War De partment. In summing up this part of the report, the committee says : "Tho d?claration* made, ana the acts done in pursuance of the d?clarations, are conclusive proofs of tho brutal and - malignant feelings by which the leaders of the rebellion were controlled, and rendered it not only possi ble, but probable, that they would at once en gage in projects for the destruction of the chief men of the Republic" A considerable portion of the report of the com mittee is dovoted to the ovidence in the oase of 0. 0. Clay, Jr. Clay's letter to President Johnaon, dated November 23d, 18C6, is quoted, wherein he denies having been in Canada at the time of the assassination. This the committee eaya is shown to be a falsehood, according to evidence before them. They say the falsity of the statement goes far to show that he has some reason for attempt Canada; and inasmuch as the statement waa ?nac?? in order to relieve himself from the charge tuu tained in the President's proclamation, it baa a strong tendency to connect him of complicity io the deed. A number of letters are prodnced to snow that Clay was in Canada at the time, and aluo that he was the originator of the various raids on the northern border of the United States. The first allusion in point of time made to the presence of Clay in the South among all the papers iu possession of the Government yet examined is a letter dated at Richmond, March 8, 1865, and written by H. lu Clay to C. G. Clay, Jr. The state ment of Clay that be has never known an; of the persons accused and convicted of participating in the assassination of President Lincoln is shown to be false by the evidence before the committee. Clay, while in Canada, acted under the following commission : RiciiMoM?, Va , April 21, 1864.-Hon. 0. 0. Clay, Jr., fee, Ho.-Sir : Confiding special trust in your zeal, discretion and patriotism, I hereby direct you to proceed at once to Canada, there to oarry out Buen instrnolionB as you have received from" me verbally, iu euoh manner as shall seem moat likely to conduce to the furtherance of the interest of the Confederate States of America, whioh have been entrusted to yon. Very respectfully and truly yours, JEFFER80N DAVIS. The committee say it is well established by let ters and dooumente derived from rebel boutcob that Clay, under this commission, was instrumen tal in organizing and executing, with more or less success, the raids upon the cities and towns along tho border the plans for the introduction of pesti lence, the organization of conspiracies to liberate the prisoners oonfii ed in Camp Douglas, Chicago, to destroy our oommerco on the rivers, lakes, and ocean, and finally to thwart and overthrow the Qovernment by inciting a new rebellion in the North. It is also ascertained that Jacob Thomp son, Beverly Tooker, Qeorge N. Saunders, W. O. Cleary, Bennett H. Young, and R. J. Stewart were all employed in Canada as secret agents for tho Confederate authorities. Io proof of this the committeo produce a large number of letters, orders, and diapatohea which Saosed between those men and the officers of the Onfoderate Qovernment at Riohmond, showing that they were acting directly under its authority, and that they received orders to make the raids and other offensive demonstrations on the north ern border of the United States. Testimony taken at the trial of the assassins, together with that taken by the committee, justi fies them io the inference that tho murder of President Lincoln was procured by the use of money furnished by the Richmond Qovernment. The remarks said to have been made by Davis, on the receipt of the intelligence of the death of President Lincoln, is in harmony with the conver sation of his agents.Thompson, Tucker and others, as given by Richard Montgomery, a witness Who waa before the committeo, and also a witness in the trial of the conspirators. Thompson told montgomery, in 1864, that he could have the tyrant Lincoln put out of the way at any time. He said ho had his friends all over the Northern States, and it required but his nod to havo thom do anything he wanted donn. Clay is said to have tallied in a similar vein about the assassination of Lincoln. Tho committee say there is substantial harmony between the evidence furnished by the officiai documents found in the hand? of the rebel authorities, and the testimony of the varions witnesses brought before tho com mittee, as to the participation of Davis, Thomp son, Clay, Cleary and others in the soborno for tho assassination of the President. With reference to the testimony in possession of the bureau of military justice, takeu by Judge Holt, and on which President Johnson based his proclamation, the committee makes tbo following statement : "When the oommltteo entered upon this investigation in April last, the evidence in the War'Department, if aooepted as trno, was conclusive as to the guilt of Jt_Toreon Davis. The Judge Advocato-Qenoral had taken the affidavits o several persona who profeosed to have bee j in the service of the rebe) Qovernment, and who had been present at an Interview between Surratt and Davis and Benjamin. "Those affidavits were takon by the Judge Ad vocate-Qen eral in good faith, and in the lull belief that the persons making thom were stating that only which was true. The statements made by those witnesses harmonize in ojerj impor taut particular with facts derived from docu ments and other trustworthy sources. The com mittee, however, thought it wise to soo and ex amine eomo of the persons whoso affidavits had boeu takon by Judge Huit. Soveral of the wit nesses, whon brought before tho committee, te traoted entirely the etatemonts which they had made in their affidavits, and declared that their testimony, as giveu originally, waa false in ovory parttcul ir. They tailed, however, to state to tho committee any inducomout or consideration whioh eeemed to tho committee a reaeouablo ex planation for the coutbo thpy have pursued. Tho couimittco aro tboroforo not at this time able t'i Bny, as the result of their investigation, whether the original statements of theeo wit nesses are true or falBO. But the retraction made by acme of thom deprives them of all olaiin to credit, and their statements so far impeach or throw doubt upon the ovidonce given by other witnesBOa whose affidavits were taken by Judge Holt, that tho committeo iu the investigation which they bave made, and in this report, havo disregarded ontiroly tho testimony of all thoso persons whose standing has boen bo impeached. On the other baud, the committoe have relied very largely upon documents found in tho robel archives, and havo introduced only the teatimony of those persons whose reputation for truth aud voracity has not been impeached by any of the investigations that havo been made. Nor has it been tho purpose of tbo committee to draw un natural or forced inferences from tho trust worthy toatimony whioh they have examined, but rather to present a truthful statemont of facts." The report oonoludes with an exproaaion of opinion on the part of tbo committee that it is the duty of the Exeoutive Department of tho Government, for a reasonable time, and by tho proper moans, to pursuo the investigations for the purpose of ascertaining the truth. If Davis and nid associates are innocent of the great crime with which they were charged in the Pr?sidant'? proclamation, it is due to them that a thorough investigation should be made, that they may be relieved from the suspicion whioh now rests upon them. If. on the other hand, they are guilty, it is duo to justice, to the country, and to the armo ry of him who was the victim of a foul conepiraoy, that the originators should suffer the jost penalty of the law. The committee are, therefore, of the opinion that the work of investigation should be further prosecuted. ? i? The Fenians. MESS AUB Or THE PBXSrDXNT IN BEFLT TO BOUSE BE80LUTION8. The President, on Thursday, sent to the House of Representatives a message in reply to resolu tions of that body-first, requesting him to urge upon tho Canadian authorities, and also the British Government, the releaae of the Fenian priaonera recently captured in Canada ; and aecondly, also that he cauae the proseoutiona in stituted in tho United States Courte againat the Fenians to be diaoontinued, if compatible with the public intereat. A communication from the Secretary of State ia enclosed, in whioh he eaya, in regard to the first resolution, that the Government of the United States holds no correspondence direotly, upon any subject, with the Canadian authorities* mentioned in the roaolntiou, or with the authoritiea of any colony, province, or dependeuoy of any other sovorctgn State; and that, on the contrary, all its corresponden-^concerning questions whioh ?riso W'-ItfiAfffifik-JK-*.*?'**6 t? BU<"h coionies, provinces with such sovereign Governmedr.*"""""' ? On the 11th of June laat a note was addressed by the State Department to the Hon. Sir Fred erick Bruce, her Majesty's minister plenipoten tiary residing iu the United Statea, of whioh a cony ia annexed. It ia proper to say, in relation to that note, first, that the reporta mentioned therein, to the effect, that prisoners had been taken on the aoil of tho United Statea and conveyed to Canada, and threatened by Canadian agenta with immediate exeoution without legal trial, were found on ex amination to be untrue and without foundation in fact. It ia due to the British Government to aay, in the second place, that the repreaentations mado in the aaid note have been received and taken into consideration by the British Government and by the Canadian authoritiea in a friendly manner. The reaolutiou of the Houae first recited, har monizing as it does with the spirit of the afore said note, will be brought to the attention of her Majesty's Government and of the Canadian au thoritiea, with the expression of a belief on the part of the President that affaira upon the fron tier have happily come into a condition in which the clemency requested by Congrega may bo ex tended without danger to the public peace, and with advantago to the interests of peace and har mony between the two nationa. Tne Secretary further aaya he has already re ceived tho President's directions that the second of the resolutions be taken into consideration by the proper departments of the Government, with a desire that it may be found practicable to re concile the humane policy recommended with the maintenance of law and order, the aafety of the public peace, and the good faith and honor of the United Statea. The following ia the letter to Sir Frederick Bruce: Department op State, ) Washington, June il, 18C6. j Sut: The Secretary of War baa laid before the Preaident sevoral dispatches whioh were received yesterday and to-day from Major-General Meade, who ia commanding the United States forces on the Canadian frontier. These communications warrant the President in believing that the so-called Fenian expedition is now entirely at an end. and that order and tranquility may be expected to prevail henceforth upon that border. I regret, however, that I am obliged to connect with this gratifying information the further state ment that reporta have reaohed Major-Goneral Meade to the effect that some Canadian or British troops have crossed the line and entered witbiu the territory and jurisdiction of the United States. It is even aaid that the entry took place after the disturbers of the peace, under the command of their loader, named Spear, had relinquished their forbidden enterprise and withdrawn within the boundary lino of the United Statea. The reporta go so far aa to say that priaonera have beou taken on the soil of the United States and convoyed to Canada, and that the Canadian agents have threatened that these prisoners, to gether with such atragglers as may now be found within the Canadian linea, will be immediately ex eouted without legal trial. It is believed that theso reports aro exaggera ted. Care baa been taken by Major-General Meade to have thora promptly Investigated. In the meantime, I am instructed by the President to represent to you-aud through you to tho Bri tish and Canadian authorities-that this Govern, ment could not look without serious concern upon the practico of any unnecessary severity, and ea Secially upon the exercise of retaliation or other legal proceedings, upon the persona of such of the offenders as have fallen or shall hereafter fall into the hands of tbe Canadian authorities. I respectfully invite your attention to this sub Ieot, with a confident expectation that no proceed Dga that ?hall not be authorized by and bo in conformity with law will be taken against persona of that class, and in the bo} ??.-? that even the customary administration of the law will be tem pered with special forboaranoo and clemency. In view of the effective proceedings which this Government has adopted in regard to the distur bances on the Irontier, now so fortunately ended, these representations would have been made by m* without waiting to be moved from any other ?quarter. They are now made? however, with the approval of Major-Genoral Meade, and I believe that tboy will receivo the conciirronoo of Congross and the peoplo of tho United Sta??*.
