WASHINGTON, July 12.-The committee to inves? t?gate the aasassir tion and the treatment of pris? oners, have comnu need ther work. The Wisconsin Democratic Convention has nom? inated Flandereau Xor Governor. Resolutions were passed opposing necrro suffrage. In the House, Mr. Julien asked leave to introduce a resolution ordering the Reconstruction Commit? tee to report a Bill forfeiting the lands granted to the Southern States for railroad purposes, stating that there were 5,000,000 of acres of the best lands in the South in the hands of rebel corpoiations which poor men, white and black, should have for homesteads. Mr. Wood objected. Mr. Julien moved to suspend tho rules. The rules were then suspended by a vote of ninety-nine to thirty-five, and the resolution modified to embrace only Mis? sissippi, Alabamu, Florida, Arkansas and Loui? siana, when it waa passed. Mr. Butler offered a resolution that the District Commander be authorized to issue 4,000,000 of coupon bonds, bearing 7 3-10 per cent, interest, to repair the levees, and the assumption of which should be a condition precedent to Louisiana's ad? mission. He moved a suspension of the rulos, whicu failed. Tho P?nate Reconstruction Bill was reported with several amendments, and a rambling debate ensued, during which Logan, of Illinois, said he had no sympathy with any man who went bail for Jefferson Davis. If it hod boen he who captured Jefferson Davis, he asserted, and Mr. Greeley could publish it, that there never would have been any trouble in try mg Jefferson Davis, either iu a civil or a mih'tary court, except as he (Logan) might organize. He himself would hive been the court, and there would have been no Jefferson Davis. He would to-day, if he had power, hang Jeff. Davis and every ose of his cabinet officers. The only man in Amer, ca who had nerve onough to hang traitors was Jiarez. Mr. Stevens moved the previous question when the bill as amended was passed, and wout back to the Senate. The House took a recess at 8 o'clock. In the Senate, Mr. Chandler called up his reso? lution directing the Commit to on Foreign Rela? tions to inquire how many Mexican soldiers had been executed after capture. He said that Maxi? milian's operations wore a part of the rebellion, and had it succeeded the decree of '66 would have been inflicted on Union soldiers. Maximilian signed his own death warrant on signing that de? cree. He ought not to have died by the ballet. The officers capturing him should bavo hung him on the first tree, this not done, proved Mexicans a chivalrous people. The course of this Government toward Mexico was cowardly. Mr. Johnson spoke fltvonbly of Maximilian. Mr. Nye denounced him as the agent of Napoleon, to assist the rebellion, and eulogized Juarez. ? Mr. Howard thought Maximilian met a deserved Cate. The matter was postponed. Mr. WiLon offered a Bill authorizing the Secre? tary of War to raise four regiments; and appropri? ating $1,500,0?) for frontier d.'lenee. The Senate then went into Executive session, and took a re? cess uutil eight o'clock. ' " The expense for collecting tho revanue from entorna last year was 36,267,000. One of the House amendments was to tho effect that th? opinion of any civil officer of tho Government, shall not rid District Commanders of their subordinates, and State officers most take the Iron Clad Oath. The Bill in its present state oontarna fourteen sections. The Internal Revenue receipts to-day amount to to $788,000. In the Baratt trial two detectives contradict Wcichman and Susan Jackson, in somit details of their evidence. Miss Honors Pitapat ri :k testifies that the supper soeno, which Susan Jackson said occurred on assassination night, occurred on April 3d. Three men from Elmira swear poaiti rely to thc prisoner's identity with t ie perron w ho visited their clothing store in Brm ira on the 12 th, 18th or 14th. lite latter testified to his presence there on the 13th or 14th.

Scarcely a day has passed since our last issue that the thermometer has not ranged in the neighborhood of ninety degrees, and we have had showers of rain, with thunder and lightning, accompanied by tornadoes of daily occurrence. A large tree near our office was uprooted on the occasion of the melancholy dis? aster to the steamer R. E. Bell. We hear nothing bot gloomy accounts from our planters. The waters are subsiding, but leaving blighted prospects behind. We understand many plant? ers have discharged their hands, having no further use for them. We are yet hopeful that their all is not lost, but that tho continued showers will prevent the hot suns from burn? ing up vegetation, and that thc overstretched rice will gather strength to support its over? grown structure.-Georg eton-ri Times. LABOE FIBS AT TIMMONSVILLE.-On Wed? nesday morning, the 10th instant, between the hours of two and three o'clock A. M., as we have been informed, the storehouse of Mr. Ja9. T. Bristow was discovered on fire, and in a very short time six prominent business houses were consumed with most of their contents. The loss is supposed to be about $15,800, with a known insurance of $3000. [Darlington Southerner. THE SCIENCE AND ABT of medicine has met withagreat loss in the deathof M. TROUSSEAU, who died recently at the age of sixty-six. He was born at Tours in 1801. Like VELPEAC and many other distinguished physicians he studied under BBITONNEAU, one of the wisest and most original medical minds of modern times, whose influence and silent impress upon tho science has been greater even than his reputa? tion. M. TBOUSSEAU occupied the chair of Therapeutics and Materia Medica in the Facul? ty of Paris since 1839, and by his success as a practititioner and his fluency and pleasing ?locution in his lectures acquired great reputa? tion as a teacher. He was the author of sev? eral large works and of numerous mono? graphs and miscellaneous articles for various scientific journals, , ON THE WING. DARLINGTON*, S. C., July, 18G7.-The crops all along the line of the Northeastern and Cheraw and Darlington Railroads are much better than I had expected to find them. The spring was a late one, cold nights continuing to the very end of May, if not into June. Then came those very heavy and long-continued rains, compelling a total suspension of agri? cultural labor for weeks together. The rain certainly did a great deal of damage, but to our surprise we find the crops generally look? ing healthy, though a little backward; and what was still more unexpected, both cotton and corn looked remarkably clean. Whether or not thc grass was "fought" more assiduously along the highway, to keep up appearances, as we have often heard planters banteringly accuse each other, we are, of course, unable to say. However, we presume not, and we accepted the clean cotton beds and corn hills as a good omen. We made extensive in? quiries among the planters, both as to the con? dition of the crops and also of various other correlative economic topics; and my inter? rogatories elicited the information hereinafter set forth. The planters all complain of the condition and prospect of the crop, of the laborers, many of whom are unquestionably very ''trifling," o': their penchant to private "sequestration," etc., etc. But farmers hav? ing been given to complaining from time im? memorial, their friends hear their laments with great equanimity. The freedmen this year, as a general thing, are doing a great deal better than they did last year. Much mutual prejudice has been overcome. The whites are gradually learning to adapt themselves to the changed relation they now sustain to their former slaves; they are recovering from the shock and depression of spirits naturally consequent upon a sudden reverse of fortune, and in many instances of the entice loss of their, property;. They treat their laborers' with kindness and consideration, and where .Union Leagues and kindred disturb? ing clements are not permanently present to prevent it, a better spirit has become manifest among thc negroes, and 'a steady growth of confidence in their white friends and employ? ers. They are beginning to see tho necessity of systematic labor, and all things considered, are doing well. We were surprised to learn that the wages system has not met with the favor we anticipated. In tho present uncer? tain state of almost everything, the price of cotton included, both negroes and whites prefer the other, i. e., the laborer receiving a stipula? ted fraction of the crop. Tho country is more quiet than it was last , last year. There are less difficulties between ! planters and freedmen. They get along more ? harmoniously. There is, too, less stealing than there was during the previous year, so my in- , formant remarked. But I do not'know how to j credit such a statement, after hearing all the , many stories of grand and petty larceny per- 1 petrated almost every night, and in almost , every part, of the District. There is still a : great deal of abstraction, not to put too fine a , point upon it-of (Healing. What renders it ; so difficult to check it, is the fact that practi- , cally there is little or no redress. There is, 1 indeod, a pretence at investigation when com- , plaint is made, but very little ever comes of it. < The theft is seldom brought home to the per- , petrator, because the people are discouraged ' from frequent experience, and have become - skeptical as to the chances of redress; and be- 1 cause the "checks and balances" of the new ] regime prevent their making use of the means ] with which they have been familiar, and which < they most generally found successful. > Let us put a case, and it is not one altogcth- j er drawn from the realm of imagination. Say, e planter, in the dead hour of midnight hears \ the long-drawn doleful wail of the dying pig. j He gets up, goes to the pen, pig is missing. 1 Now what next? He has his suspicions, to be 1 sure, but that avails him not. He cannot en- j ter the cabin of one of his vassals, who live on t bis land, and in his bouses, to search fsr his j property. He must have a search warrant, t But where is he to get such an instrument at j that hour, the very hour too, when negroes t pigs do mostly steal? But suppose he goes to ] n magistrate ; what then? Why, just as likely t is not, by the time he gets a warrant tho pig j maybe eaten, not an ear left to tell the tale; ( [rone, leaving not a wrack behind. But even J if it has not been dispatched by such summary process; say, the owner.[?] of. the stolen pig J cannot find it in the house he searches by vir- t tue of his warrant ; he suspects that it was j conveyed to the next house while he was ab- ] sent in search of the warrant. Nothing easier. ' There may be twenty or thirty such houses -on I the " quarter," and all very near each other. \ In fact it is absurd to consider these negro j cabins " houses," or " castles " in the old ! English common law sense. The entire " quar? ter " is as one house with different rooms, and ? should be so considered for legal pur- i poses- We were surprised therefore ' to learn that "high authority" has construed < otherwise; and if the said "shoat" bas been legerdemained from the first to thc second house, the searcher is put to a halt. His warrant is only good for the first. He must suspend his operations, and repeat his journey to the mag? istrate, distant perhaps eight or ten miles, and get a search warrant for cabin No. 2; and so on ad infinitum. Slender the chance of the sorrow? ing owner of ever again seeing his late much loved pig. The natural consequence is that porciculture will soon be one of thc lost arts; "stock" is rapidly disappearing from off the face of that country. There is one fact which in commou justice we feel bound to mention, and that is the impartiality with which these thieves perform their operations. They are free from bias-no respecters of persons. They steal from black and white, from rich and poor, from Yankee and Southerner, from civil and military. They recognize no exemptions. Mercury is decidedly in the ascendant. On the whole, however, notwithstanding all this, we would again repeat, the change has been surprising, and on the first appearance the stranger is inclined to believe there is a very great improvement over last year. But when he comes to inquiry more closely, he finds the hopelessness, the depression of spirits, the gloom of the people is far greater than it was last year. And this for obvious reasons. Last year the condition of the country was unsatisfactory, it is true; still there was thc ignis fatuus of the President's scheme of recon? struction, which many of our people unfortu nately mistook as a light on a watchtower, a sure guide. They followed it confidently, and now find themselves stuck in the inextricable mire of Congressional reconstruction legisla? tion. And to make bud worse, after accepting with most commendable resignation all thc "Acts" of Congress, and the "Orders" of thc Commanding General, the end seems further off than ever, and in the dim and misty future they Bee the Damocles sword of confiscation suspended over them. What wonder they feel gloomy and dispirited. The continued fall of cotton, at this juncture, also, is not calculated to contribute much to their recuperation. The truth is, independent even of all politi? cal influences and complications, taking the farmer abstracted from thc citizen, his condi? tion and prospects are far from enviable at prc sent. Owing to the very small crop of cotton last year, and the almost total failure of corn, nearly every planter in South Carolina com? menced operations last spring upon advances made by his factor; not upon usurious interest, for we have no usury laws now. The money was borrowed at market rates. But these same rates are, nevertheless, ruinous to the farmer. Agricultural implements, fertilizers, seeds, corn, hay, bacon, everything the year through, has been purchased on these terms, from one and a half to two and a half percent, a month. If we have a good cotton year, the farm? ers may perhaps be able to pay their factors. They will have little if any more. If anything, however, should happen to injure the crop se? riously, or if cotton should fall much below the present rate, a large part of the planting in? terest of South Carolina must pass into other hands. But I am wandering too far from my text. I propose to speak of Darlington, mid not to write a jeremiad upon the prospects of the country. Darlington last year (the crop of 18G6-G7) raised about 8000 bales, about one third, it is thought, of what was consid? ered a good average crop before the war. The growing crop will probably reach from 10,000 to 12,000 bales, or haifa full ante-bellum crop. Corn last year in this district was an entire failure. Everybody buys. Heretofore it is well known it was considered bad husbandry for a farmer to have to buy corn or long fod? der. It was almost viewed as a blot on his character. In a good year, before the war, the corn crop of Darlington District amounted to about 400,000 bushels. The corn crop thus far bids fair to bo far superior to last year's. Still it is feared there is not enough breadth of laud planted to feed the State. This District has never produced much wheat; it is only cultivated in thc upper part of it, and more among small farmers than the large planters. So with thc other small grains. They are but little known here. Pork was largely raised here up to a recent period. In fact thc District throughout produced its awn meat. But this has been attended with great difficulties the last few years, and is now ill but impossible. The oause we have already given above, viz: the too great fondness of cer? tain parties for roast pig. TRAVELLER. TIIX3 SENATS! BILL. BUPPLEATENTABT ^CONSTRUCTION.

THE WEATHER AND THE CHOPS.-In our last paper we gave rather tv flattering report concerning the crops in our District. Wc made this statement from the information of several of our farmers, and from our own observation in and around Benncttsville. We have since been informed that the crops in the lower part of the District and on the river plantations were very badly injured by the late rains, and a great quantity of corn and cotton were drowned and considered irrecoverably lost. Crops of all kinds arc damaged more or less, and it is feared that the corn and cotton crop will fall far short in this section. There seems to be a complete failure in the fruit crops, especially apples and peaches. Thc crops iu the lowlands tire almost entirely destroyed, but the coru and cotton crops in thc uplands arc doing very well. Wc have been visited for the past two weeks with daily rains, with the ex? ception of two or three days intermission, sometimes accompanied by strong winds, seri? ously damaging the corn and cotton crops. [ Bennetlsoille Herald. DEATH OF ALDIN CHASE.-We take thc fol? lowing extracts from a letter received from a friend in Athens, relating to the death of the above gentleman, which occurred on Tuesday morning last: "I regret to say that Athens lost her best citizen this A. M. nt lu o'clock. I al? lude to the death of Mr. Albin Chase, Agent of the Southern Mutual Insurance Company, and also of the Pioneer Paper Mills. He was for? merly editor of the Athens Banner. His loss will bc severely felt, for he was, without ex? ception, the best citizen of Athens." [Augusta Press. Secretary STANTON says thc War Depart? ment has at its disposal all the means required for carrying on the Indian war at the West, and that uo further appropriations arc uccded on that account. [From the American Churchman.] J Insure In the Mutual Life Insurance Com puny, New Yorlc i A SACKED DUTY. "Alon should often bo put in remembranco to ' take order for the setting of their temporal es? tates, whilst Uiey are in health."-Orders for the Visitation of Lie Sick. Wo fear that a large majority of the clergy fail in fulfilling thia branch of duty. Wo do not allude to the fact now, however, for tho purpose of find? ing fault with our brethren; but ouly, in order to justify ourselves in bringing the subject of Life Insurance into our editorial columns. We do not believo that it is possible for ns to say any thing.now upon Uris subject. Although, however, wo can say no moro than bas been already said, and said tetter, by many others-still it may be in om- powor to do some good, if only, by agitating tho subject, and pre? senting it to some, perhaps, wbo have never yet given it much, if any, r irions consideration. And it ia a subject, v.:jicb comes very legitimate? ly within tho scope of a Religious Paper; inasmuch as it runB parallel with Christian duties of tho first importance. For we hold, that there is no social dutv of | greater weight-none, which is more strictly bind? ing upon every head of a household-than that of | providing, not merely for the present, but for the prospective and possible needs, of those, who, in the Providence of God, look up to him, for sup? port and protection. And we"think that wo have St. Paul with us, where he says:-"If any pr?vido not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the Faith, and is worso than an infidel." 1 Tim. v. 8. Happily, however, it is so ordered, that in all or? dinary cases, tho natural impuL.es of feeling and affection, in this matter, run parallel w.th thc de? mands of duty. So that-at least, as regards a care for the prospective interest? of one's family, which involves the Principle of Life Insurance--if | the duty be neglected, Buch neglect will bo found to arise, in a vast majority of cases, not from want of natural affection, nor from any doubt about the incumbent obligations; but simply, from the fact, that either tho matter has never Boon taken into serious consideration-or, having been considered, and perhaps determined upon, it has been put asido from time to time; ana BO, the duty still re? mains unperformed. But ia not delay, in a matter of such extreme importance, in itself criminal? How terrible must be the self upbraidlngs of aman, who-well knowing that a mortal illnesB overtaking him, or a fatal accident befalling him, itt depriving his wife and childron of their natural protector, would, at tho same timo, cast them, penniless and unp:o vided for, upon the cold charity of a selfish world -and conscious, too, that, at a small sacrifice, ho might have provided for such a contingency--finds himself dying, willi his duty undone ! Dearly the unhappy man loves his wife and childron 1 Gladly would he lay down his lifo for those objects of his tenderest o flo ition, if, by ao do? ing he might but secure them from utter poverty and desolation ! But ii is too late ! Gone-never to return-is tin opportunity of saving thom from the misery of dependence-and, it may bo-of I pinching want ! This is an argumonl which all can understand: and which, theroforo, eau reach the hearts and consciences of all. Wo have said thus much upon tho subject, be? cause we conscientiously behove the practical ap? plication of the principio of Life Assurance, to bc one of the chief social mercies which tho loro of the GREAT FATHER hos conferred upon us;-be? cause we believe that tho well-established Institu? tions which develop? and apply tho principio, aro among the greatest, and noblest, and most b?n?? ficient, of all Christian charities-tho direct and legitimate out-growth of the Christian Faith. And as such, we propose, in a futuro number, to commend them to all classes of our readers, with especial reference to tho clergy of tho parishes; en? deavoring, at tho same time, to meet certain con? scientious objections, which some good, but, we think, mistaken persons, havo entertained against them.
