The Savannah News of Monday has tho follow? ing: A rumor was prevalent in this city yostei day that a collision had occurred between ? detach? ment of the United States soldiers and the freed? men on Mr. Chevos' plantation, by which several lives bad been lost, but, from what we could learn, there "was really no conflict between them. Wo found the officers very retient, but, from what wo could learn, the facts are these: An order has been issued to Capt. H. C. Brandt, Commissioner of tho Freedmen's Bureau, who hos charge of the ne? groes on Back River, to tho effect that tho lands axe- to be turned over to tho owners, and the freedmen to make contracts- A portion of tho Choves property has been leased by Mr. Smith Barnwell, who was desirous of making arrange? ments with the negroes, but they positively re? fused, and threatened to take Mr. Barnwell's life. Application was then made to Captain Brandt, who furnished Mr. Barnwell with a corporal and six men, with whom he proceeded to thc place, but soon found that the negroes were determined to resist. He then came back and made application for a detachment of fifty men. They wore fur? nished from Fort Pulaski, and Lieutenant Miller, of the Sixteenth Infantry, detailed to command them. Captain Brandt then proceeded a TOSS tho river and left twenty-fivo men at tho mill. With the balance he went to Mr. Barnwell's place, and at Mist saw nothing but a few women and children. He read his orders to them, and said that lie carno to them as a friend and not to fight them. Soon thereafter the detachment was surrorjided by three or four hundred armed negro men and wo? men, the men keeping to the rear of the women and children. We have boen informed that the negroes have been thoroughly drilled o nd armed, and that an officer, with sash and sword, was in command. We also learn that the negro lawyer, Bradley, who ap? plied to be admitted to practice in the Superior Court last wock, is at tho bottom of the whole thing; that he has informed the negroes that they cannot be removed: that Congress has passed a law giving them the right to hold the lands; and thatThe has recommended them to resist the offi? cers of the Bureau. Some of the negroes present? ed what they said was their w air nt, and wai ch had been given them by Bradley for the sum of one dollar a head. We understand that dispatches have boen sont to Gen. Scott, informing hun of the state of affairs, and that he will probably arrive on the scene to? day. A steamboat left yesterday afternoon with supplies and stores for the soldiers, but we did not hear of its returning last night. They wero armed with clubs, hooka and mus? kets. The Captai .1 stated that he wanted them to appoint one or two mon to talk tho matter over with bim, and advised them th at "he did not want to drive them off the place, but merely to induce them to make contracts with Mr. Barnwell. This I choy refused, and said the lands belonged to them; I they had paid taxes to the Government, and that they would not leave." :While the parley, was progressing, some: of tho 'j negroes had got in thc rear of the soldiers and be- j hind a fence, and when discovered they had their i guns pointed through the holes of the fence, and Dearing directly on the soldiers. Discovering this, the Captain judiciously determined to withdraw his men, not wishing to shed blood, especially as tho women and children would probably nave been the sufferors. He retired to the mill where he had left the balance of the soldiers, and came to town for further orders from Gen. Scott, commanding the District. A RADICAL LIE.-The subjoined-statement has been travelling the rounds of the Northern-papers, and is everywhere received with acclamations as a genuine specimen,of "robel" State Government. The MnAEB of the tale is proclaimed as a martyr, and the" strong arm of the Government is invoked in his aid. The story, like Mr. SUMNER'S letters, was coined to sait some emergency, ancL-as the Charles tomans have never heard of the illustrious MILLER, the presumption is that he is a mythical personage, who, in his capacity of attache to the Radical party, does duty, whenever -occasion re? quires; in fact, we have a strong suspicion that the said MILLEE ia no less a personage than tho ro nowed JOSEPHUS himself, tho veritable little jokor. AN AOOEAVATED CASE.-A man named Miller re? moved from New York State a few years ago, to South Carolina, where he married. Upon the outr break of the war he was forced into the rebel, ranks, though still a thorough Unionist. When Sherman appeared in that Stats he escaped from tho insurgent lines, and,-, reaching the General's camp, imparted very valuable inf. rmation to him; When our army reached the sea Miller came to New. York. Ho remained there till the war closod, and then returned to South Carolina. Thereupon the civil authorities arrested him, and, after being tried, he was sentenced to be hanged.' Therprin cipal charge against him waa "that he had given information to Sherman, which led to the capture of property belonging to his brother-in-law. He is now in confinement, waiting the execution of his sentence. The attention of the Government, however, has been directed to his ease, and his friends are confident that the necessary steps will be taken for his release. 'Too BAS_The Mobile Tribune has changed hands. The editor, in retiring, winds np with, this pathetic sentence. We pity him from the bot? tom of oar heart, and- hope that he will console himself in tho reflection that in this;woTld of sor? row and misfortune editors have their trials and grievances as well as other people : But I must drop; a tear over my baby, the Tri? bune, which is now in tho hands of others. I drop that tear, and part with those whom I love, with so much pain that, .while writing this, the paper is wet with the water that falls from my eyes. I know very well that this is folly, bnt wno has no folly? THE SUGAR PLANTATIONS or LOUISIANA.-Sogar plantations are in the market now at unusually oheap rates. Ose, situated about fifty-eight miles above New Orleans, containing" thirteen hundred and fifty-nine- arpents, with-'fine, commodious dwelling house, built of brick, and improvements, an extensive brick sugar house'with, machinery complete, cabins for "eighty, laborera, was lately sold for 532,800. Terms, one-fourth cash;, balance one, two and three years. This estate made ia 18>9, an average season, two hundred and fifty hogsheads of sugar. Be foro the war, this planta? tion with" the negroes attached,' was valued at 8150,000. - It is not an. oxtreme case. A New Orr leans paper says that it will require about twenty ove minions ca dollars in the way of loans to re : plaee: the losses sustained by the", sugar-planting interest of Louisiana and to place the several hun? dred plantations in "good wofld?g condition. Even then the scarcity ofiabor will present serions dis? couragements. --- ' THE Baltimore Brm furnishes the following statistics : The trade between Baltimore and the i Southern States duriripr the past year, by water, ; has boen of a gratifying : contracter. The 'receipts i of cotton during the year ending December 81 were 28,683 bales, of winch 9037 bales came from Norfolk, 9498 from Savannah, 4968 from Charles? ton, 2443 from Wilmington and other North Caro? lina ports, 779 from Apalachicola,' 924 from New Orleans, 364 from Richmond, 833 from Mobile, and i 307 from Galveston.

[SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE DALLY HEWS.] CONGRESSIONAL FT7RY AGAINST THE PRESIDENT. WASHINGTON, January 19.-Tho telegraph has already notified you of tho Radical outbursts against the President, that have occurred in each wing of the Capitol this week; but it cannot havo dilated upon tho savage growth of that spirit o' wild accusation which now seems to have seized at least a third of the majority in the Senate and House. In the latter body, it is to be expected that the expression of the impeaching members will bo of tho extremest violonco, howevor lacking in material corroborative proof; hence witness the insane accusations of Hon. Ben. LOAN, of Missouri, the other day, to the effect that ANDREW JOHNSON was in direct complicity with the plot to assassi? nate LINCOLN, and that the consideration, to follow his consequent elevation to the Presidential Chair, was to bo tho exercise of executive clcmoncy and partiality to the people of the South. In the lower House, such ebullitions of irresponsible wrath are not in excess cf the licenso of'debate, because six years reign of passion and prejudice upon that floor have made invective and denunciation proper by common usage and consent. Not so tha Sonate; perhaps from the uncomplimentary fact that its members are too cumbersome of speech, and slow of motion, to undertake any very wild paroxysm of oratorical fury. But yesterday came tho exception, in the similitude of a speech from CHABLIS SUM? NER, tho immaculate pink in whom is compressed all tho theory of hi 3 party, without any*conooption of its practico, or ability to mould its laws. Hear him t "At lost the country is opening its eyes to tho actual condition of things. Already it sees that Andrew Johnson, who came to supreme power by a bloody accident, has become tho successor of Jefferson Davis in the spirit by which ho is gov? erned, and in the mischief which ho has inflicted, on his country. It sees the President of the rebel? lion revived in tho President of the United States. It Bees that the violence which took the life of his illustrious predecessor is now, bv his perverse complicity, extending through the rebel States, making all who love the Union its victims, and filling tho land with oppression. It soes that the war upon tho faithful Unionists is still continued undor his powerful auspices, without any distinc? tion of color, so that both white and black are sacrificed alike. It sees that he is a minister of discord and not a minister of peace ; it sees that so long as his opinion prevails there is small chance for tranquility, or security, or reconcilia? tion; that tho restoration of prosperity in the rebol States so much longed for must be arrested ; that the business of tho wholo country must be embarrassed, and thoso conditions upon which rests a sound currency must be postponed. All these things tho country now s???. And this from ono of tho men who, in all likeli? hood, will bo called upon to act as a judge in a trial of tho very individual whom he hos already foresworn. As was well remarkod by Senator REVEBDY JOHNSON, who, immediately after Suti NEB'S conclusion, administered a stinging rebuke of tho latter's intomporato asseverations : "The Senator irora Massachusetts well knows that there is in thc House a proposition to impeach, and, in advance, he places himself out of the pale of an upright judge by pronouncing, in the face of the country, that he has judged and condemned already." There is no doubt that this spirit of accusation and malevolent desire to work the President wrong, at whatever hazard of honor or truth, is upon the increase; and long before the Judiciary Committeo of the House is ready to announce that it has worked up au indictment against the President, I am inclined to think that the war of words upon the Executive will run higher and more recklessly than ever before Just now there is going on a controversy between the Washington correspond? ents of tho Now York Tribune, and Times and Herald-the , former, holding that tho re? ports to the effect that United States bonds wjre being, prepared for return to this country on account of tho rumors of impeachment, had been dictated by the President, in order to create a panic among the people,- and so rouse popular clamor against the movement to decapi? tate Mr. Johnson. Whatever plausible story may bo advanced in support of this assumption,'I can, of mine own knowledge, assert that within three days ? leading broker of New York, whose name is potent upon tue Stock Exchange, and who manages a "ring" whose influence is felt even among the gunny bags of tho Treasury vaults, hos received advices from his agents in Frankfort and in London, that they would prefer io suspend the sale of U. S. Government securities until after the Congres? sional plot had evolved itself, and meantime they suggested the bonds had better return to American shores until the storm had blown over. And back they come-a million and a half-by the next week's mad. Will the people of the North be warned by this first ripple arising from Federal credit tos??-? into the sea, and destined to reach these shores as a great wave, threatening to submerge even the heme faith in tho stability of the Government and its promises to pay J If they realize tho peril, stake your bte there's an end-to impeachment. A FASHIONABLE BOW. Socially a great hub-bub is gathering, and pure? ly out of political bad temper. The . inauguration I o"f the receptions has had the first-to do with evok? ing the. petty conflict of tho hour, and they now nightly demonstrate-to what marvellous extent they have grown. Tho wives of Radical Senators and Congressmen receive one crowd, and the Madame Secretaries of thc Cabinet play the hostess to another^" Between tho two, come the receptions of the President, and Colfax, Speaker cf tho House, -which are pervertcily made to socially represent the two great conflicting ideas of the day-the policy of Congress and the policy of the Adminis? tration. Thus, in the salons of one is found all the moderation and patriotism of the clay; and fra? ternizing in the other, come all the Jacobinical throng that make the country unhappy and jeopardize her life. The line is drawn ae closely as though a count of the respective numbers was to be takon upon the prevaihng representation of each. Gen. Grant's, and a few mansions presided over by merely leaders of fashion, unknown in po? litical controversy, ara taken as the vantage ground of .both parties, and hither they meet, and here follow those cordial manifestations" of " hatred that conduces to tho general cheerfulness and jollity of the-situation I have described. jv - ' HORACE 'OBEBLBT.. ^ This mistaken philosopher and -veteran rumina-' I tor upon the general depravity of things, has been in Washington for several days past. In personnel he has not changed a whit this quarter of a cen? tury past, and he still adheres to the notorious J "di ab" and a "shocking bad hat." - Ha has with him a daughter-a young Indy, bright, -vivacious, but slightly pectuar. Horace has been escorting her to receptions since their stay in tho city, and it is proner to add that they made "no distinction'' in attending these entertainments, '?'on account of .color" of politics; but made the whola rounds, genial with all. It masing their -way through tho 1 crowds, it not unfrequenuy happneed that father and daughter would be sepa-ated, and each engag? ed by mutual friends until tho evening and crowd -wore away. 'Miss Greeley then turning to'look for the paternal escort, 'would often discover that Ho? race had withdrawn an. hour before, arm-in-arm with some friend, utterly oblivious of the fact that a dependent hit of female loveliness was being aban? doned to the wonder and commiseration of a Washington crow ?, too much amused to proffer assistance. a-Tl? young lady,_3iowever, seems td have beeoim accustomed, to this, extraordinary isolation, and invariably orders'her carriage and departs alone whenever auch emergency arises. - ?? T. THE PLAY. . ' '. '.''''. Two. theatres ' are ' now. in op?ration, here, and seemingly doing" well.. At Wall's Opera House they are rendering the modern drama of the "Long Strike," which, I am inclined to think,- is being ex? tended beyond the limits originally Intendedjand tiring the public. At the oppoaition concern, Mag? gie Mitchell, despite of the coldest weather:of the season; is playing'' "Little Barefoot," to crowded houses." ".."?.-';.' '. - ' _ .-'. ' --.'"

Word to Plantera. To the Editor of Ute Daibj News: Tho writer is no serbe-would that ho Ead tho power of Jumus' pen to wield against thoso heart? less enemies of "the land wo lovo," tho inveterate cotton planters. God knows that most of our peo plo have worshipped cotton for years, and that wo felt that cotton could fight our battles without His assistance. What was the result? Ho has seen fit to scourge us terribly, and yet our peoplo, though the avenging hand of tho Almighty has hardly ! boon lifted from thom, aro already hastening back j to their idol-cotton. Thousands of our fanners aro counting how many hands they can got to plant cotton, how many dollars will that cotton bring, and how many acres of land thoy can plant next year in cotton. Their slaughtered sons aro forgotten; thoir outraged wives, daughters and 1 sisters ore forgotten; thoy ride over tho asbos of | their desolate homes in haste to. worship King Cotton, not remembering that tho very chains that now bind our country were forged by cotton. Cotton built np the East, then the Southwest, which, in time, built up the Northwest-which, in time, rivetted our shackles-for if wo had hod to .contend only with tho Middle and Eastern States in our struggle for freedom, wo would havo hoc -o war. Wo made cotton to buy Yankee tr asl o buy Western corn, meat and mules, heed! 'y destroying our homesteads by a most barba. . as system of agriculture; and while all around us who havo been buying our cotton are comparatively rich, and then? lands improving in quality anil prico, our cotton Holds are hideous and barren wastes-monuments of.a pooplo's folly. For raising everything calculated to add to tho comfort and luxury of a people, wo arc satisfied that the States "of North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia ?ill compare favorably with any part of the world; and in point of health and salubrity, we have no hesitation in saying that it is uuequaU ed, being subjected to no extremes of heat, or cold. The country on the seaboard, from Georgetown, S. C., to tho St. John's River, Florida, we feel satisfie 1 in time will be justly doomed the garden spot of the Atlantic shore. For manv years the writer has been fully convinced that ootton plonliner hatwlnn? more to min the States of Virginia,? North and South Carolina and Georgia, than any calamity th nt could, in the ordinary course of events, have be? fallen, thom. Cotton planting was the cause of many valuable plantations in this State being de? populated of its negro labor to supply tho voraci? ous cotton planters of tho West. Look at tho es? tates, the princely parka, srrounds and ruins that are to bo found in the wilderness from here to Sa? vannah, along on tho main land, and ask candidly the cause; and the reply will be by somo, the coun? try is sickly; by others, the rich cotton fields of the West could pay a higher prico for the labor than the proprietors of.thoao estatos could, and they had to go. .As for the health, we contend that when people have taken the trouble to inform themselves of the requirements of tho climate, that there is no healthier and better climate in tho world than can be found along our seaboard, and that people livo as tong, and'raise os largo families herc, as they do anywhere in tho world. Whether the tearing up tho fields of tho West, and dostroyirg a fine oountry that would havo gradually been peopled np by the surplus population of the South, in growing ootton (which cotton on? ly went to enrich our enemies), was good policy, we leave to the intelligent and candid to answer. These few linos have boon written only to t> y and get you to lend your assistanco, os well as to got the press generally to exhort our planters gen? erally to turn from cotton and go aftor such things as will moke us independent of tho North, aud unless we make more provisions our laboring popu? lation will be enticed oft If some one of our ablo and scientific men would write a description of the seaboard of Soath Carolina, giving a description of I its availability for growing grosser, cereals, fruit, [ Ac, it would be very acceptable to many very re? spectable foreigners, who are desirous of making their homes among us. Information of a reliable and scientific nature, as well as a description of I the climate and manner of life among our peoplo, would ' do more to.promote emigration hero than anything'else. POCOTALIGO. Pretty Sharp and Decided. We copy the following paragraph from Friday's QynstUulUmaX Union, published at Washington. The editor of the Union, Col. THOS. FLOBEKCE, is known to be a very intimate friend of tho Presi? dent, and, perhaps, speaks "from the books.'' TBE BLOODY TREASON OF THE NEW TOBE HERALD. Tho New York. Herold, of. the 17th instant, has two articles on the subject bf tho impeachment of I tho President, which for malignity and falsification > of history have no parallel m journalism. While ! red-handed treason held the pen, bitter and unre? lenting enmity to the Constitution and our form of Government fired tho brain "which was bold and wicked enough to say to the' world that what it calls the ''misdemeanors'' of the President "render him liable to impeachment.'' . Tho transparent design of These articles is t*v1 move the minds of weak-kneed Jacobin Republi? cans np to thoir work. Let them take this advice, proceed in their wicked designs, and some morn? ing, in other places and in a new condition, tho v will realize the bitter consequences. Indeed, os the Herald says, "the struggle is still going on." "The great Union movement of the wax will run its coarse," but not as tho Herold applies it-to utterly destroy the -Government, but to save it, and if necessary its strong and iron hand will bo invoked to slay the course and prevent the con sirmmation of Radical treason, ^teo great oath of j the President to protect -and defend the Constitu? tion will not bo forgotten, and the peoplo who sus? tain him, with their five hundred thousand ma? jority of the voting population- North and South, will not forget him. Tho Herald cores not for con? sequences. Nothing would please it so much as to see ruin and anarchy rampant, i -Let thoso who would take its advice beware. UFOS WHOM CAN CONGRESS CALL? Events have already brought the Government to the very verge of another revolution. If the Rad? ical majority in Congress pursues its treasonable coarse much longer, the Government, in order to sustain itself, will have to arm its supporters. At the call of the President, all his friends North and South, and the army and the navy will respond. In such a contest the issue cannot bo doubtful. Congressmen may bb valiant fighters on the floor j * Congress, but when they come to lead their co? urts int? tho field it will be another thing. Tho real armies and great, soldiers of the Republic will be found fighting nuder the Flag I We advise the opposition-of the determined and fixed fact that Andrew Johnson will serve ont' his constitu? tional term of office, tr ";. .
