THE WEATHER AND THE CHOPS.-Sinco our last we have had quite a cold snap for the season, and we aro told, on the authority of "a roliablo gentle? man," that a little ice wau seen last Tuesday morn? ing. Be thia as it may, we have had quite a frost, and Wo are sorry to leam that the late rico has boon injured thereby. So much valuable time was wasted in the early Spring, in consequence of the unwil? lingness on tho part of the freedmen to go to work, that much of tue rice was plan tod lato-aa late, perhaps, as the middle of Juno, and being scarcely out of blossom or the milky stage was accordingly blighted. . This will tend to render the crop of the district even smaller than at first estimated.

' Secretary Browning'? Letter on tho Co stitatlonal Amendment. Tho following aro the comnfcnts of the' le adi New York journals on Mr. BBOWND?O'S letter : Tho Times remarks : In many respects we apprehend that the doc mont will operate mischievously, and that its pu lication ia a mistake that will add to the difflcul of tho President's position. If it has any signi canco, it is equivalent to a declaration on his ps that, notwithstanding the action of Congress ai the detennination x>f tho North, he intends to co tinue ids opposition to the amendment and 1 efforts to prevent its ratification. Thoro woidd bo valid cause of regret in tl mere knowledgo of the circumstance, that ti nttitudo and aims of tho President havo undergo) ao chango. It were bad enough ?b know that tl irresistible current of Northorn opinion in favor tho amendment had. neither convinced him of i I necessity; nor taught him tho inutility of furth j resistance to it; but tho latter becomes a grievoi error when it is' considered as a causeless, grat itous expression of opinion by tho Executive, on gravo question of policy at a time and in a for which can only serve to aggravate existing diillcr ties, and intonsify tho bitterness which unhappi characterizes their discussion. It cannot hav? boen roiioislte to make known tl YiowB entertained by tho President touching ti amendment, fur these wore long ago communicate to Congress, together with tho reasoning upc which they aro based; nor has aught occurred th: could afford a'pretext for tho revival of an oppoe tion which recent events have shown to bo booties Tho President's experience of spooch-makin should have satisfied him of the futility of his ei deavors to s tom the popular currrent and win tl controlling olem?nts to his sido. The reasonab ?resumption is, that inasmuch BB the President, I is persistent opposition to tho Bottled resolves < the Northern people, rendered thew finner tho before, this manifesto ovqr Mr. Browning's sign: ture will tond to .strengthen the position of Coi cress, and to make thom more determined in tl demand for tho amendment as the groundwork t a national compromise. The more judicious friends of the President di hope that the verdict of the people, as heard, i the recent oleotions, would induco nim to recousit er his decision, and to recommend the am cm dm O? to the friondly consideration of tko Southern State: .Whontho emptiness of this expectation, beoam apparent, a desire prevailed among many who ha faithfully stood by mm that ho should, at any rat: waive his hostility to the measure, and allow th issue to be fought out witbou^bis interference on way or another. ' The tferaidsays its appoals^are groundless, an add8: J SayB Mr. Browning, another blow which tho prc posad amendment aims at the Government wine our fathers founded, is in the ohange of tho bael of representation. What/are we to understand b tho Government which oUr fathers foundod ? Thi is whore we stand. We cannot deal now with th Government which our fathers founded; it cease toexiBt with tho abolition of slavery. Wo oann? pload tho Constitution as it waa ; we must take i as it is, and floal with thingB, not as wo would hav them, but as wo find .thom, Mr. Browning. .The World asks : "Ought the South to ratif; the Constitutional Amendment ?" and procooda t '?ay : ' ..' '.' A point of oonsidornble interest to tho South, ci which tho World can spoakwitb.Qon?idorablo.mpr authority than any other Nortli?rtt journal,' is AV position of the Northorn Demopraoy in rasper, ?? the amendmont. If the Democratic party of th .North should ecmunit itself to the amendment thereby makiiig-%? North ?^i?moda-?u^mahtl ing its ratification, shbh unanimity could hot b disregarded by tho South in dotorniining its owi course. ' '." With'n tho last few weeks wo have, with mud pains and no email solicitude, attompted to guag> tho sentiment of the party on this point. Tho re suit is a conviction ;that tho Northerd Democrao; will never endorse the amendmont as a Conditio! of restoration. If we might take' ft upon us to ad vise our Southern follow-oitizens we would oouusc thom to roj?ot the proposed amendmont, to yieh quiot 0D8di?n<5e to all cotfstitutionai'laws, to main tain'?rdor, to protect and eucourago tho froodmci by equal laws, and to abstain A3 carefully fron agitating questions of ^Federal politics a? if tho; had no concorn in thom. Tho only hopo of redress is in Northern justico when it booomoa ?vident that thoy are dotorminec to await this with dignified reserve; that they wil neither,humiliate themselves nor disturb the poae< of. tho joountry; that they will furnish no food tt I agitation,, but, quietly demean thomsolvos as lav abiding oitizc'ns, aiid patiently await tho result, ano 'thathCqthing will shako their resolution not to bf partios to their further humiliation. The Tribune Bays: "The President and Mr Browning believe that it 1B hot ascertained that wc 1 will save the Government. To this tho Amcricai people enter an indignant denial. The dreac j which Mr. Johnson and his advisers affect that thc Government is in dangor of destruction, is not felt by tho peoplo, and still less do thoy fear that theil direct representatives in Congress ore the onomios of ita existence." The Post calls it on iU-timed and illogical out? giving. ' Tho Express approves it heartily, aa a statesman? like papor. W THE Colonial, Standard, of Jamaioa, reporta the indolonco of the populat ion of that Island as the main reason why the exports of sugar are now only about thirty thousand hogsheads per annum, or IOBS than ono-fifth of tho surplus raised sixty years ago. It is officially denied that tho soil is IOBS productive. Tho Standard says : "Tho fact is thoro that wo now procT?co just less than one-fifth what wo did Bixty years ago, and that, too, with a larger present population; and the true causos are thal tho laborers, having been ren (foml imnrAQticablo by mischievous toachings, havo withdrawn from tho labor market; fcht? nrnny ! havo sought other moans of living, and havo re? alized a sort.of savage indepondonco, beyond which thoir untutored nature toaches thom to wish for nothing; that considerable numbers havo become thoroughly demoralized, and livo by doprodation, and-that many are still taught to consider the large i proprietors as thoir natural oncmics, and will only work for thom whon thoy cannot holp themselves. Tho Anti-Slavery Reporter says that out of 300,000 peoplo, 20,000 only labor on estatcB, and the 20,000 aro so independent that, according to tho report of the Royal Commissioners, they work only one third of tho time which thoy ought to devote to labor." Hero is the result of emancipation aftor thirty yoars' trial. It waa said by tho Radicals, whon tho failure of the crops occurred, immediately after th liberation of tho negroes, that aa soon as tho latter got accustomed to thoir freedom, they would go to work and raise tho old crops. If they did not, tho younger generation of negroes would. Those aro fact;) to guido us at this timo, and yet, instead of adopting somo system by which both tho whites and blacks of this country can.escape tho ovil ef? fects that havo followed emancipation in Jamaica, tho Radicals insist upon ruining the nation if tho negroes aro not at once raiaod to a social and po? litical equality with the whitos. yte publish to-day, from tho New York Times, in? teresting Washington news in regard to Mexico, tho substanco of which is as follows : Ministor Campboll has receivod his instructions, and will lorthwith proceed to his post as our repre? sentative in Moxico. It is now agreed that tho French troops will soon be withdrawn, Maximilian, of course, going with them; that tho United Statos recognize the Juarez Government, and undertako to support it, if such contingency shall^ become nocossary; that in consideration thereof, Mexico will cede to the Unitod States a largo portion of the territory of Chihuahua, and nearly the" whole of Sonora, arid all of Lowor Cali? fornia. Tho line ?B not fixed further than that it is to run from tho Rio Grande somewhere near El PaBo directly to tho Gul| of California, so as to in? clude on our side the important port of Guaymas. By this cession wo gain now and, practicable routos to the Pacific, secure the entire control of the'Gulf of California, and extend our direct sea coast line on the Pacific from San Diego to Capo St. Lucas, about a thousand miles. The details of (?his highly important ftrrangomcit will be looked t or with great interest. THE MEXICAN MATTER. TSE IN8TB?0TCON3 jOP THE UNITED STATES MINIS ! TEE TO MEXICO. 1 _ Tho Now York Times of Tuesday has tho follow? ing special dispatch from Washington : WASHINGTON, Monday, October 29.-Col. Lewis D. Campbell, tho United States Minister to Mexico, left this city last evening, with credentials address? ed to the Juarez Government, and with full in? structions, conforming in every respect with the tripartito arrangement previously communicated to you, bet ween the United States, Franco, and tho Ropublio 'Of Mexico. Mr. Campbell will probably visit his home in Ohio, en- roide to Mexico. Under tho arrangement now porfected, Napoleon is to commonce tho withdrawal of tho French army from Mexico next month, and although he has a year from that time to complete tho evacuation of Mexico, it is more than probable that tho whole army wilPb? withdrawn by or boforo the first of January next. Of course,, with? tho withdrawal of the Fronch army, MaMhflian takes his departure, and the farce of an Empire, on the North Amorican Continent is ended. - . .. it ia probat to atafco that this determination of tho political Government of Mexico has boen at? tained through amicable negotiations with all par? ties interested In viewortho groat political changes antioipatod in Mexico- under tho adjustment of . hor govern? mental'ar^f s brought about under this manage? ment, and the weakness of the Juarez Govern? ment, after the protracted wars that have boon forced upon it, to maintain its existence it has bo oome .i?t?rative-r-in tho interests of all nations co^cern?i(Lrtbat, a stable government should be guaranteed tokeif by somo responsible power. It -is poBBihte that tho terra "guaranteed" ia rather strong to'express the relations assumed toward the .Republlo;by the Government of tho United States; -but the ^Administration undertakes to /extend to the Juarez Government in Mexico a protectorate, which is to be operative, however, only in case of an emortenoy. In plainer terms, our army on tho Rib Grande, and our fleet in the Gulf, are to bo held in wadineaa to assist Juarez, should such as? sistance, become necessary to him in establiahing his authority as President of the Republic, and in brmging to work in full vigor tho machinery of a Republican Government. In omer to an intelligent exercise of this possible armed intervention, the Administration has de? termined, to send with Minister Campbell a miU saVy officer of high rank, eminent abilities and tound judgment, clothed with power to act in the emergency referred to. . Lieutonant-Goneral W. T. Sherman is now spoken of in this connection, and also Major-General W. S. Hancock. The responsi? ble mission, it is strongly indicated, has been ten? dered to General Sherman, and tuero is -reason to bolhvie'-that ho will accept it, but should he de? cline, general Hancook will undoubtedly bo sent. It j? no part of the plan to move any United States fow/j into -Mexico, until an occasion shall arise to rtfiRer such a resort necessary, But it is hoped that tho attitude assumed by tho United States thus publioly, in sending an Officer to Mexi? co M?thed with this power, will be sufi?oi?nf to overawe tho various political leaders of that oaun try??p The numerous rival, factions that bosot the laud} and lead to a unanimous' submission to and Support of the only Government that has anypro KmeiOn&to regularity and constitutionality, or any Ability KKotabiish and maintain itself. In consideration of tho friendly offices thus as? sumed by tko Government of this country toward ?Mexico, the Government of that country, which is ?hui reoognizo&ftrid' established, agree to code to r?ho U?ite^Staffiyhe Territory RI heretofore corn mumbat?dTto you. ' 'Tho* preciso boundary; of tho Territory ithus to-be coded, it is not possible at this timo to givo. But tho, futuro southwestern boundasy lino of the United States will probably leavo too Rio Grande at or near tho point whore it now does; but taking a more southerly course, will run in a straight lino to tho Gulf of California, striking that Gulf'at a point south of Guayamaa, so as to :inoludo that important seaport within tho limit?, of tho United Htatoa. We thon gain tho whole of the peninaula of Lower California, with the more valuable portions of tho Statea Of Konora anil Chihuahua, with all thoir immeuaoly rioh do posits of prooioua metals, tho undisturbed naviga? tion of Cahfbrnia, and a'.'muon shorter and more practicable, route to the Pacific Coast. ?onricorrospondent, has boen made a targot for tho attacks of some newspaper ' writers because bf his axolusivo foreshadowing of this very important adjustment of the relations of th? throo countries mttrqsted; but it will soon be seen that his state? ments have been correct, and those who havo at? tempted to contradict or throw doubt upon them hare morely shown that thoy know nothing, about the matter. . A COMMUNICATION FBOM GENEBAL OBTEGA TO GENE I ' BAL 8HEBIDAN. WASHINGTON, Monday, Octohor 29.-The follow? ing special dispatch has just beon received at this Bureau ? NEW OBLBAKS, Monday,. October 29.-G?nerai: On my arrival in titi s city I read in the newspapers an, official communication, signod by you and ad dmssod to the commander of the sub-district of the Rb Grande, Brownsville, Toxas. Said communica? tion touches and deoides, in a military manner, in? ternational queations of a grave import concerning th) neutrality lawB. which aro violated from the mo mant youpromise the heartiest support to tho adhe? rents of Sonor Juarez, and donominato a faction tho upholders of tho legitimate Govonimont -of Mexioo. This, Sir, although indirectly, ia an at? tempt to,'impoao on that nation a Govornmont atainat ita will and against its constitutional laws. Il is al80 an attempt to intorforo in tho internal questions of the Republic of Moxico, which sho alone has the right to docide. The .Government of tie United Slates has not horotoforo takon any part in thom. I at first could not understand your com njunication; but mature reflection convinced mo at lost that it did not concern me. Such was my im? pression} and tho day bofore yosterday I called at your residence to nwfc Va^ \VAWJY. of naving you my respects, in testimony of the good rofatious existing between the United States and tho Moxicav Re? public, which I heartily doairo to preservo. Yester? day, however, two officials of your staff handed me a copy of tl>e above-montioned documont, with? out ante-communication, for me, and only with my name written on the onvolopo, as a sign that it was addressed to rac. I onoo more read ita contents, and could not bo persuaded that it concerned mo at all, or what you meant by trans? mitting it to mo in Buch a manner, for reasons te which it ia at present not necessary to refer, but which aro well known to your Govornmont and to a great portion of the inhabitants of tho United Statea. I have been residing in Now York, and loft that city on tho 25th inst, on tho way to my nativo country, traversing the territory pf this.illiistri oua nation, under the safo guide and protection of ita laws. It is not ignored in tho United Stales that I am tho Constitutional President of tho Moxi can Republic; that such position roquirea of mo tho performance of great and painful dntioa, from which no one, unlo3S violating the laws, can divert mo but the same Suprome national will that grant? ed me thoir votes. That it is not the defacto Gov? ernment of Juarez, tho only one friendly to the United States, but that tho great Liberal party of my country ia also friendly, and Juarez oeaaecl to represent it from the day ne violated the Conatitu tion of the Republic. For tho above reasons I de? ny that I created or represented a faction. I am tho true and only representativo of tho^ constitutional law of Moxico, to which, nation. I repoat, belongs the right to decido its internal queations. For the same roaaon that I reproaont tho constitutional principles of Mexico, I have aotod, during ray residence in tho United SfcatoB, with tho propriety and diacrotion which my mission demands.
