Reconstruction in Georgia. The Atlanta Opinion of the 21st says: The meeting at the City Hall last evening was well attended. It was even larger than tho ono held at the same place several weeks since, and which finally divided itself into two meetingB. This ooe was. Jar^respectable and harmonious. It represented much of the capital and mtelli gencee of the city. Thc speeches were temperate and well received*; and tho preamble aud resolu? tions were adopted without a dissenting voice. Among those present, we noticed persons repre? senting all former parties and shades of opinion Old Line Whigs, Dem?crata, Secessionists, Anti? slavery and Pro-Slavery men. It seems to have been a meeting of the peop.'o, irrespective of past differences and former party lines. If additional evidences had been wanting that Gov. Jenkins is not sustained by the peoplo of this section in his issue with the Government, tliis popular demonstration on tho part of the voters ana tax-payers of Fulton, can leave no ono in doubt as to the course the tide is taking. MISSISSEPPL-It is said Gov. Sharkey, of Missis? sippi, has expressed his intention, should tho Su? preme Court refuse to entertain his petition for an injunction restraining the execution of the Military Beconetruction Bili, to make up a case for the in? dictment and arrest of (reu. Ord, commander of the 4th Military District, for treason against tho State of Mississippi. He m determined to make the Supremo Court decido the question, whether agreeable to the judges or not, before Congress can ''get a hit" at him, as ho expresses it. The question arises whether Gen. Ord, by tho aid of martial law, may not be able to take care of him? self, and at tho samo time have tho plucky Gover? nor cared for in sonic fortress. COBN AND COTTON.-The Eastern Journal says: We have mado diligent inquiry of persona from all sections of iho District as to the quantity of cotton and corn planted. Prom all of our infor? mation on the subject, wo infer that moro tb tu half "the land will bo planted in cotton, and that there will be a great deal more laud cultivated this year than last. Our planters aro also using the ?uano principally in tho production of cotton, his is a great mistake we think, as the probabili? ty now is that cotton will sell for about 15 cents, while corn will be very scarce and sell enormously high._ The Montgomery Adcertiser states that Samuel J. B. Carter a colored teacher, has beer- ap? pointed Register of Voters iu Jackson county, Alabama,-under the Military Reconstruction Biil, at tbs request of several prominent white citizen pf Stevenson. So says the Atlanta Inieitigencer. Presentation of a Banner. Among tho incidents eoncected with tho com? memoration of Easter Monday, was tho soiree Riven by the German Fire Company at their hall in Chalmers street. The hall was beautifully deco? rated with evergreens and immortelles, and was graced with tho presen?p of numbers of the fair sex, tho Company being also largely represented. Before tho regular festivities had commenced, a whisper was raised that something besides danc? ing was on the tapis, and it became apparent, from tho countenances of the knowing ones, that some designing parties wore about to take tl ie Company by storm. While the expectancy was at its height, Mr. J. H. ALBEBS, as Chairman of tho Commtttoe, ap? proached the worthy rresidont, Mr. SIEJCHEBMAN, ?..-.d, iu a neat and appropriate speech, presented bin? with an elegant silk banner. President Sraai MEBMAN replied in a fooling manner, assuring tho Committee that the Company would treasure that banner equally with their engine, and the two would bo inseparable. Three hearty cheers were given by the spectators, and, after an inspection of the banner, the amusements of tho evening were resumed, and the night slipped insensibly away under tho genial influe ace of Terpsichore. The banner is made of heavy silk, rod on one side, and bearing in gilt, letters*thc motto of the Company, "In Augustis Amici Apparent," and their name, with the date of their organization, 1839. The other side, which is of blue silk, has a centre piece representing the recent fire at Vic? toria range, in King street, and the German engine is seen playing on the flames; over this painting is a small palmetto tree. A heavy gold border and fringe surrounds tho banner, which is attached to the Btaff by a silk cord and tassels, and on the top of the stan! is perched a gilt eagle, carved by Mr. OBCUTT. The painting on the banner was done by Mr. T. HUGH MANX, and the silk trimmings, &c, furnished by Mr. SHUCKMAN. The banner is in avery respect worthy of both the donors and re? cipients, and will bo borne proudly by the company it the approaching parade. rBE PROFITS OP AGRICULTURE UV VIRGINIA. We pnblish the following from the Richmond Whig, as ft matter of interest to our planters, and should be pleased if any of thom would give us a jimilar careful estimate of what can be dono in | i South Carolina. HALIFAX CODOTT, VA., April 15,1867. To the Editor pf die Whig: On a recent'visit to New York, I was frequently inostioned as to tho probable profits of agricnl ;uro in Virginia. In order to answer intelligently | ? ino questions of one gentleman of very ligh character and large moans, who jxpressed the possibility of his coming JO Virginia and investing some of his moans s our lands, and so assisting to revive the prosperity of our State, if his enquiries could be satisfactorily answered, I got together some gen? tlemen in Richmond, and stated the question to ?hem. As the result of their experience, they Irow np the statement of the profits of one hand, pbich I send you for publication. On my after? ward showing this statement to some other gen? tlemen, they agreed in the main as to its accuracy -one experienced farmer saying that the estimate for wheat, and corn is too low. All concurred in urging me to publish tho estimate, and give the reason why I do it, and solicit through your paper ii free discussion of the subject, and in deferenco tb their opinion and request, I send you this. The one great want of Virginia at this timo, is abor and capital. Without entering at this time ato any discussion of any question, I will only jay that if the people of Virginia will snow them? selves equal to their present duty and necessity, md will use the proper means, labor and capital viii very soon come to us in great abundance, and ?viii make Virginia, in a very few years, what sho mght to be-the strongest and wealthiest State in he Union. Yours, JOHN T. CLARKE.

The New York Skipping and Commercial List tublishes tho following well considered remarks on otton and the cotton trade : ; The course of tho cotton market continues to mffle all the calculations and expectations (hat rero formed in the early part of the current cotton ear. Tho protracted depression of trade? on both ides of the Atlantic, may be said to have changed he whole aspect of tho market, converting a sup >ly which last autumn appeared quito inadequate nto an ample one, thus loading to the largo reduc? ion of sixteen or seventeen cents per pound in the ?rice-Middling KOW being quoted 27$a24$, against 3a44c. last Octobor. The fall iu prices in Europe ias boen equally large, and, with a very si ght nargin between cotton on tho ono hand and goods ind yarn on the other, consumption has tor some nonths been light, averaging only about forty-two housand bales weekly in tho United Kingdom, in he face of an enormous accumulation of bullion in he Bank of England, and the low r*te of discount, [n fact, tho cheapness of money is regarded ns a 'csult of the general stagnation, and, instead of jeing a healthy symptom, is an indication of com nercial distress. Tue truth is, the impoverishing rffects of the financial and commercial cri?is of lost rear continue to be felt by nearly all clasaoa of the British people, and tho demand for goods is, in con leqconce, comparatively limited. The same stagna ion-is reported on the Continent.tho dullness there icing intensified by the apprehension of further >olitical complications. On this side of tho At antic the state of trade is even worse than it is >n the other. Throughout tte interior money has leon, and still is, scarce and dear, which, coupled with tho pressure of taxation, a lack of confidenco .n the stability of values, and the dearness of food products, has induced marked caution, necessitat? ed greater economy, and ltd to a settled weakness in prices of goods. This, in turn, has unfavorably affected manufacturers, and production for many months past has been comparatively light. Under this state of affairs considerable exports of cotton continue, and though this year's crop promises to bo some four or five hundred thousand bales be? low that of last vear, there are indications that Ureat Britain will monopolizo a larger supply of it than she did that of last year, notwithstanding the comparatively low prices* The stock of cotton in Liverpool at the end of March was as follows : East India Brazil, American, and China. Egyptian, .tc. Total. 1867 .332,000 141,000 171,000 044,000 1866 . 267,000 171.000 115,000 553,000 Increase of stock this year.91,000 Or, about 20,000 bales greater than tho popular es? timate. A leading Liverpool Circular remarks : "it. is evident that oui* stock must increase consider? ably even above present figures, and though it may not approach the maximum of laut vear by 200,000 to 300,000 bales, yet, compared with tho av?rage of previous seasons, it will bo a largo one, and sufficient to quench any speculative spirit in thia market. When tho heavy arrivals from Amer? ica fall off, which they will likely do in May, the large imports from India will commence, and, after om stock has reached tho maximum, the process of reduction will be tardy. This state of tilings will leave tho regulation of prices very much in the hands of consumers, or, to go a stage further back, iu tho hands of the buyers of manufactures in Manchester." Tho figures of export and delivery for consump? tion at Liverpool, indicate tnat foreign manufactu? rers prefer India Cotton to American at tho differ? ence of price, which is only about two penco per pound, and, as the growing of the staple in India ara making hands .me profits, whilo our? arc mak? ing little or nothing, tho necessity of doing away with the tax is obvious. The Southern Press aro beginning to demonstrate by facts aud figures, that it is more profitable to cultivate cereals than Cotton, and, unless tho tax bo wholly abrogated, there is danger that the advieo which is so freely proffered to planters, by Southern journals, to turn their attention moro to food products, will bc fol? lowed. But, aside from such diversion, the unsual se? verity of Hie floods through tho breaking cf the levees on the lower Mississippi will, no doubt, ma? terially limit tho production, since it will bo im? possible to close the crevasses and reclaim tho laud in time for ?I?B season's crop. Much, if no: all, of this present and prospective mischief might, doubtless, have been averted if tho authorities ol' Louisiana had been provided in time with:means to strengthen the embankments; thc money was simply asked of tho Government as a loan, and it is to bc regretted that tho appropriation for this purpose last winter was not made. The levees of tho Mississippi aro works of national importance, involving interests of enor? mous value, and affecting not oulv thc districts liable to overflow, but, indirectly, lhe commerce of the whole country. They need" thorough recon? struction, and a comprehensive system of super? vision which w?i Jd reduce to tho lowest possible point, tlie chane ;B of such calamities as the peo? ple of that unfortunate region .ire now suffering. It is to be hoped that Congress will talto tiic mat? ter iu hand at the next sessiou. 'x he planters conk! well alford a tax sufficient to pay the interest on tho outlay, for there is scarcely a limit to tlie pro? ductive power of those rich" bottom lands, and with Mire protection from overflows, un section of the country will yield belter at'd richer returns upm the labor and capital invested. Poor Coba. The Havana correspondent of tho New York ffimcs writes as follows of Cuba: No longer the inexhaustible Eldorado where Spaniards amassed a competency in a few years, and then rorurned to the mother country; no longer i he paradise of office holders and elysium of daring slaves, where tho doubloon was considered an insignificant piece of money, but a country full of misery, with an exhausted exchequer and plenty of debts; its merchants at the will of foreigners, and the shipping iu dread of privateers; the plant? ers in debt and unable to obtain the necessary funds, while a commercial ci isis is still threaten? ing, and every body is ground to the very earth by tho enormous taxation which affects "both the planter and tho merchant, and which they will be compelled to pay in spite of their appeals and re? monstrances. The last steamer brought a Commissioner-to inaugurate and direct thc new system of taxation, and he has already opened his office iu the old Custom Houso building, attended by a number of assistants. Shiny of the smaller farmers don't know how to read or wrice; they are taxed accord? ing to thc supposed valuo of their plantations and crops, and should thc Collector be dishonest he can easily charge ?hem what ho pleases, or olso not enter it in tho books. A new tax collector may again present the bill already paid, and tho poor fanner pays it over again. 'Tis true that he lias redress by producing tho old receipt, if he has any; but to obtain tho justice whic^ is sure to be granted to him, he will be compelled to lay his complaint before tho Int?ntente "who resides in Havana, and the expenso of travelling and loss of timo, not counting the usual delay in all cases, where justice i3 to be meted out or asked for in this country, is p?riiaps quadruple tho amount in lisputo, and tho farmer makes a wry face, indulges in a few uncompUmentary remarks about tho Government, but pays the bill over again. ] Tbc higher authorities in the island are very inxious to do justice to all and watch any official iv]io should transgress his authority, the present ' Captain-General being a very honorable and up? right gentleman, but the familiar Russian saying "."at God is good and the Czar Uves far away, Suds plenty of application here. The ill educated jr timid countryman will suffer and submit to the nsults and overbearing behavior of some petty of? icial for fear of molestation, especially as a charge jan bo trumped up so easily here, and a man night lay for months in prison before his trial ;omes on; and although he may bo declared inno? cent by tho tribunal, ibero is no remedy against mybody, and in the meantime the man's business ias been ruined during his absence. Tho rumor about tho landing of a cargo of daves near Remedios, spread by nobody knows vhom, has proved to bo false. The time for land ng cargoes of ebony has happily gone by, but the Ubinose trade is in full blast and ship loads are ar? riving every week. The coolie trade is in the 1 lands of a French company, of whom J. N. Zan- . rroniz is tho agent, and some English and Span- J sh houses. No American houso or firm is ongag id in this traffic, which is only another kind of j ilavery, under a sugar-coatod exterior. Tho phi- 1 anthropic English seem to take a great interest ? n tho business, and English bottoms bring the ' rroat majority of Chin?se to this island. The ;oobe emigrant is bettor treated on any ship than S m the English. Of COUTBC this will be denied by lohn Bull, who will cito statistics, but who will for- ( jet to state that the ship has been whitewashed n Hong Kong or Marao and is conseuqently no , ongor an English ship. After arriving here the ' 'esBel loa< . for New Ycrk or Falmouth, and is .gain as good an English vessel as the coaster on 1 ho Clyde. Tho stoicism and bull dog nature of lie Englishman is vory pliable when money is ( ?oncerned, Chilian Commerce. Although American commerce in the Pacific is nuking gratifying headway, it is matter of regret ' hat BO little, comparatively, of the foreign com nerce of Chili falls to the lot of our countrymen. ] ["he stability of the government of Chili; the even nd reliable character of the population; the \ latural resources of tho country, and the ready in lustry of its contented inhabitants have corn lined to give it& foreign trade a steady and very irofitablo growth, such as the leading commercial lations of thb world would feel inclined to compete 1 or as a valuable ally in the development of their >wn woalth and power. Its trade with England is j ?st i mated at ?4,000.000 annually, and with France ,t Bomo 50,000,000 francs. What is still more, this - .ommerco is growing with a rapidity which these u motions do not fail to mark. Tho roal commercial wealth of Chin' is in its ail- S .er and copper mines, its trade in hides, timber, ireadstunis and wool. The products of the mines re estimated at some ?3,000,000 per annum. Jpon its coal deposits, too, foreign steamers de- s tend for their supplies as required. Its general 1 breign trade ia set down at about ?8,000,000, in iddition to the brisk coasting tra .ie it maintains vi th Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador and California. It C lolds the twenty-second place among the fifty-nine >t?toa and Colonies set down on the French table ? d' commerce. Considering all tho disabilities tin? ier which she has labored, the progress which ? 3KKO?U made drying mo luat. nail century is oiuething remarkable. In 1810, when she was I aider thc rule of Spain, the population was only bout 600,000 BCUIS. Santiago, the present capital, had a population if less than 30,000, and that of Valparaiso was un- 1 1er 6000.' The customs duties did not amount to :60,0OO, and the exporta had never risen to $100, 100. But, after fifteen years of war with Spain, ind several years of domestic confliot, her popula? ran during the last thirty years of peace has risen o nearly 2,000,000. Santiago has a population of I .20,000, and .Valparaiso has a population well on owards 100;000. The customs revenue provious o the present hostilities with Spain amounted to ip ward of $-.1,000,000, the imports to upward I of g 110,000,000, and tho exporta to moro than $27,000, 00-England and her Colonies standing at the ?ead of the lists of both buyers and sellers. Da iug that iktfiod 830 miles of railway have been I .pened, and about aa many more were lately in irogress. There aro also moro than 600 miloa of I clegraphic communication in the territory. ThcBO results of industry, commercial prosperi y and social progress, command tho respect and Admiration of all other nations but Spam, which I ias not only ruthlessly violated Chiban property, ?ut destroyed and impeded the commerce of other lations, which may yet cost her dearly. Tho com aer:e of tho whole west coast of South America, I n fact, is of vast importance to us., lt lies nearer ? our Pacific possessions than to any other com uercial people, and with the inauguration of steam ommuuication, ut an oarly day, there is no reason rhy a large share of that trade, which ia at present . Monopolized by Great Britain and France, should * lot bo diverted in the direction of our Pacific pos lessions.-Shipping List. J Reconstruction in Alabama. The Mobile Times, of tho 18th, says : { We never saw, in the course of our pobtical life, . more harmonious and orderly meeting than that vbich was hold last night in the Very heart of our tty. Judge Bus teed presided with a mixture of dig lity, onorgy and good humor, which had much to lo with the general irood feoling which prevailed. On thc stand and among tho Vice-Presidents - vere found mon of all classes and color, who unit id in a strong, earnest effort to harmonize the ?crctofore contending clements of our new politi ;al organization. Our colored friends, so little accustomed to tho jxciting scenes of tho hustings, boro themselves j ip with tact and intelligence, and tho crowd of at ontive 1 stoners fully and enthusiastically greeted j ,hcui in the expression of their honest opinions. Tho audienco was-well-it was what Southern j ludicnccs always arc, gay, cheerful, good humored, md no one could have realized tho fact that, for j ,he first time, two races, thought, so different in feelings, could havo met in such harmonious ac- j ?ord. The greatest order prevailed, no noisy de nonatration, no display of arms, no threatening )f disortiOrs could bo witnessed, and the many freedmen who crowded around the speakor's stand vero thc Irst to give tho signal of approval when i happy hit waa made. A new era has opened-an era of peace and con- . ;ord-on? which will strengthen the bonds of Union, not only between tho States, but between - rho races of this great continent, and this, "without .ither -relinquishing theil* just rights, social, civil ind political. Major Tracy, thc chief of the Freedmen's Bureau, ivas on the stand, modest and unassuming as > usual, and Counsellor Andrews, of New York, read tho original resolutions in that fine, rich oratorical . voice so greatly appreciated at the bar. JAPAN AT THE Wrara HOUSE.-Tho | imperial Japanese Iroupo of tumblers visited the White Houso on Wednesday, at half-past two o'clock, iud had a very interesting interview with tho Pre? sident. Thc troupe, composed of twelve men, two women, three boya end a girl, were accompanied by Professor John Risley, tho manager; Edward l?anks, interpreter, and formerly interpreter to the , American legation at Kanagawa; and Messrs. J James MeColgan and C. A. Mclaughlan. The (Pr?sident received them in tho room used by bim as an office, tho Japanese visitors having previous? ly left their sandals outside the door. On entering the roora where tho President atood to receive them they advanced siowly, in a low, stooping posture, with their arina folded over their heads, 1 and manifested thc most marked reverence and humility. Having all entered the department, they seated themselves iu a row upon tho tloor cross legged, but did not venturo to look towards the ?

We aro gratified to learn that oiic thousand has been awarded to Mr. Robert S. Thompson, of Gibson County, in this State, as one of the two most mcritori ms. Mr. Thompson is a youtlx of great modesty and worth, whose intellec? tual endowments arc not surpassed by his firm? ness and courage. While a mero boy he entered ' tho Confed?ralo service under General Forrest, and his hist battle was at Athens, Alabama, in September, 13lM. where he was severely wounded, the result of which was tho loss of ? log. Thc bravo boy now hesitates whether be should accept tho thousand dollars to which ho is so clearly enti? tled, preferring to leave it for others to contend for. It will bc ol'bille matter to bini whether it goes into his pocket or not-since the merit which en? titles him to it will eocure bim against all want.

SS-A YOUNG LADY RETURNING TO HER country home, after a sojourn of a few months in the city, was hardly recognized by her friends. Bi place of a coarse, rustic, flushed face, she had a soft ruby com? pletion of al m os I marble smoothness, and instead of tw nty-three she really appeared but eighteen. Upon in? quiry as to thc cause of so great a change, she plainly told them that she used tho CIRCAS-IAN BALM, and considered it an invaluable acquisition to any lady's toilet By its use any Lady or Gentlemen can improve their per? sonal appearance an hundred fold. It is simple in its combination, as Nature herself is simple yet unsurpass? ed in its efficacy in drawing impurities from, also heal? ing, cleansing and beautifying the skin and complexion. By its direct action on the cuticle it draws from it all its impurities, kindly healing the same, and leaving the sur? face as Nature in tended it should be-clear, soft smooth and beautiful.
