M., when all nature was Bteeped in deepest repose, a most foul and diabolical act of incendiarism was perpe? trated at this place. The store occupied by Mr. P. M. Ihabinett, with nearly six thousand dollars worth of stock, was fired and entirely consumed. Mr. Thomas J. Harley, who kept store in an ad? joining building, escaped with little loss. Suspicion rests upon certain parties; the proper authorities have boon appealed to, and '* is hoped the blackhearted, though, mayhap, w' teskinned felons will be brought to deserved punishment. J. M. C. NEGROES CARRYING CONCEALED WE.IPONS.~-Tho ?jeople in the State of Mississippi appear to bj shoring under a very serious apprehension that the negroes are preparing tor a general uprising against the whites. The Radical emissaries sent among them have been instilling into tho mir ds of the ignorant blacks the idea that if thev vote cn the side of the Radicals that Congres? will give them all a farm. Combinations are there? fore being made among them to seize the lands, expecting Congress to arrange a plan ot divisi?n among them, but should Congress fail to proceed, help themselves, and arc determined to KJ to war for that purpose. These combinations have become so extensivo that Governor Hum? phreys has deemed it necessary to issue a procla? mation warning the blacks to desist, and not un? dertake to carry out any such programme. Ho tells trie negroes that if tbey have any sucli hope* or expectations they have been grossly det er ed, and tnat if they have made any such combinations, or contemplate any such conspiracies they cannot succeed, for tho first outbreak against tho quiet and peace of society will signalize the destruction of their hopes. T.'iis proclamation has been in? dorsed by General Ord, commander of the district, vho has directed his subordinates to immediately .nvestigate and ascertain what white men li ive been advising the freedmen to tak" arms, seize land, or any other illegal acts. He has aldo direct? ed that the leading blacks must be sent for, and informed that there is no intention ou the pat t of Congress to take land irom owners, and for tho benefit of former slaves.-JV.

POSTAGE STAMPS AND STAMPED ENVELOPES. - I V?t master-General Randall has isjued tho following order: For tho better accommodation of the pnb Uo postmasters aro authorized to designate agents for the sale of postago stamps and stamped envel? opes within tho delivery of their respective offices, and to snpplv such agents with said stamps, <Stc, of the several denominations, in value not exceed? ing $50, allowing them a discount of two per cent. aa the amount of their purchases. A BUREAU STATEMENT. I omi it ion of (lie ??lac in tile Cotton Growing States. General Alvin C. Gillern, tho assistant commis? sioner of thc Freedmen's Bureau in Mississippi, has addressed a lotter to General Ord, the Com? mander of the Fourth Military District, giving a detailed statement ol* the present condition of the freedmen and thc phutcrs in that sectnn, and of their prospect for the future. He says : At tho close of tho war cotton, heretofore tho great staple ol tho South, commanded what was regarded an enormous price, say from forty to sixty couts per pound, tho result of which was to cause a largo amount of eupital from tho Xi rth to bo invested in tho production ol cottou. Laboi, of course, commanded a price comparatively be? yond what had hitherto been known in the plant? ing and farming districts, ranging from $15 to $20 per month, with rations, for first-class field,hands. Tho short crop of 18(16 dispelled thc illusion enter? tained by many capitalists of rapidly accumulating a fortune, and in many cases utterly ruined plant? ers and adventurers, .. ho bad invested their all in a single crop. Yet tuero was a sufficient number who regarded their losses as thc result of an ex? ceptional season, added to the number of land? holders who determined to risk the result of ano? ther year's planting to maintain the high rate of wages of tho previous year, and tho contracts, where the wages were tlie consid?ration, ranged from $15 to $20 per mouth, and where tho land was tilled on shares the plauter agreed to furnish tho laud, animals, utensils, and, in many cases, for? ge, the freedmen furnishing tho labor. In most of ihese cases, thc laborer haring no subsistence and no ctodit. tbo planters agreed to become responsible for tho supplies nccossaiy tor the labor-?,- and his family, tho amount to bo deducted from tho share of the laborer when the crops were ? gathered. In consequence of the dry weather and worms the croj) ot 1867 has not exceeded half ol' what was , regarded as an average crop, and that bas not j commanded but one-half of the price of tho pre- , rious year, thus reducing tho proceeds to ono- j fourth of what was anticipated by the planter and ] freedman as the proceeds of the year's labor, j i'lie result is thc financial ruin of the planter and ] capitalist and discontent of tho laborer. t In cases where luborers worked for stated wages thero is but little complaint or discontent on tho part of the freedmen, remuneration having gen? erally been received DJ the laborer either in money jr supplies, or if not paid the claim can be easily ..stabUshcd or adjudicated, and if tho planter has r ;hc means thc claim can bo collected. Where tbo t laborer bas worked for a sharo of tho crop ondless r litigation has been toe consequence. The laborer, j seing without means, has gouorally been furnished ? :hc necessary supplies bv tho planter or on his se? curity. On gathering tho crop it has in a majority ? )f cases been ascertained that the share of tue la- _ aorer docs not pay his indebtedness for supplies T idvauced, and instead ol receiving a dividend he _ s in debt. Tin? causes great discontent and a * conviction, perhaps well foundediu some instances, jf dishonesty and false accouuts on tho part or ^ llantera; but this cannot generally be the case, distances have occurred where the "planters have ? mtirely abandoned the crop to the laborers, losing u ?heir time, the use of their animals and imple- j. lunts, aud tho supplies advanced. Cases have jeeu brought to my attention of planting whore lot only tho ontiro crop has been turnod over to ho laborers to satisfy their claims, but also tho cj nuics and implements" used in its production. Tho Jj .osult of this condition of affairs is the almost uni- Jj rersal determination of planters to abandon tho 11 :ulture of cotton, and ovon if they wished to pro.-e- Ia rate it another year, il would, I apprehend, be im- }l )088ible for them to procuro further advance of the Jc ?ecessary supplios from any merchant, so preva- Jj ent is tho conviction that cotton cannot be pro- P" lucod at tho present prices. {" The next year tho land in cultivation will bo hi ilmost entirely devoted to corn, whioh requires 01 mt about one-fifth of tho labor demanded by cot- tc on; therefore four-fifths of tho laborers required m ast year will bo thrown out of employment, and if course there will be a corresponding decrease of rages. This the freedmen do not appreciate, con- M idering it the result of a combination to defraud w; hem cf what they consider just wages. The con- or equonce is thev almost universally decline entering wi uto contracts for tho year 18C8 on the terms offered a ?y planters. St 1 no crop of 1807 having been gathered, tho freed- pc aen are now idle, and without, in a great majority gc >f instances, tho meaus of support. Tbc rosult i's th Teat complaints from every section of tho State of tb iepredations being committed on live "tock, hogs, tr. beep and cattle. This is now the condition of flairs in the State of Mississippi. Planters aro without mean-, having little left a" hom except their lands. Capitalists beyond tbo Q? imits of the State refuse to make advances Irom tn bc unsettled condition of affairs. Thu freod nen y eiug to a great extent discontented, refuse to m, ntcr into contracts for the coming year. Tho jaj einedy to be applied demauds most thorough and Uy iimcdiato consideration; ?or the military, either hrough tho commanders of troops or agents of be Bureau to reach all sections of the State, to eo that all persons able to earn their support are po om pel led to do so, and that all those who do labor lal eceivo compensation for the same, is simply im- St ossible. The caro of tho poor and tho duty of an eiug that contracts are faithfully exe -uted prop- hu r!y devolves upon tho local magistrates and igher courts. How far it is safe, under the peculiar condition f affairs existing in this State, to trust the civil Lx utborities with this duty it is for you, to whom au he act creating thia District intrusts " the socuri- pr yof lifo and property, ' to judge. To empower the {ia] ical magistrates to arrest as vagrants all per- y0 ons without risible means of support would no oubt lead to acts of injustice ; but the civil au- all horitks, being recognized aud intrusted with ne execution of the civil law, collection <>f taxes nd tho care of the poor, it would s -em to be a eccssary consequence that, a3 L protection to the ce immunity, they should ha.e authority to compel th ll wno are able to support themselves, aud thus ?a tevont them from becoming a burden upon tho immunity. To douy tho civil authorities tho ex- 8U reise it this right is to place tho freedmen above de ie recognized government of the St ito. er It is a matter of very gravo doubt whether, iu io present condition of affairs, tho civ? authori os, unaidod by the military, will be ablo to mani- Sb tin order and execute the "law. Civ? process can Se nly bo served in tho ordinary mauuer whore of mdeis are tho exception and the law is sustained p y public opinion; but in the present ruinod con- J" ition of labor in this State thousands aro without j, ibor aud must subsist, consequently, depredation Pf i the rule and honesty the exception, while, on io other hand, to treat as vagrants four-fifths of ??*. jo community is simply impracticable. R But these are malters for your consideration , nd of the law-making power ra:ber than tor me, hose functions aro entirely executive, and to you 1 submit the case, meiely with tho surmiso that it ill be impossible to inaugurate any system for u ie relief of tho blacks which is unanimously ap- .?( roved bv the whites. There is anotbor subject worthy of attontiou in lis connection. There seems to be a widespread . eiief, which is daily increasing among tho froed- , ion, that the land in this State is to bo divided b* nd distributed among them, and in sonic sections f tho State this allusion is assuming a practical >rm by the freedmen refusing to contract for tho ext year, or to leave thc promises they have cul- no .vatod this year. in? lt is to bo feared that this course, induced by -y. v?-disposed advisors, may lead to collidions, thc xtent and result of which it is difficult to surmise. vc I receive almost daily petitions and memorials fe sserting thc existence of organized compauios ot fa reedmen, and asking the proscuco and protection T1 f troops, and although I am satisfied thal thea- 1 representations aro gouorally thc result of fear and an xaggcrated rumors, yet tho existeuce of such or- tn anizations in some sections of tho State is cer lin. Commanders of troops and agents of ibo mi tureau have been instructed to urge upon thc a reedmen the absolute acceeeity of abstaining from TJ rmed demonstrations-that thoy will bo protected ? . i all their rights, but ta tt they must not seek re- l* rosa by torco or violence. a'J In order to avoid as far as possible briugiug tho ia ices in colhsiou witb each other, 1 have advisad "" bat whenever practicable the "pofise" summoned v 3 assist in an arrest shall be of the samo raco aa ho peraon aireaied.

A large number ol* congressmen, lobhymcn, ?angerson and visitors generally having doparted he city for tlio holidays, the hotol saloons and tublio placea present a comparatively quiet aspect, iuougu still remain, however, to koop up the ap icarance of political excitement. One or two of ho House Committees have appointed sub-oom ollteea to investigate specified matters during the olidaya and have business ready to bo reported o the' House when Congress reassembles. Thc v*aya and Means Committee and the Committee n Elections, also the Special Committees on Ordi ance, Retrenchment and Frauds in the Pay De- ' artment, will continue to pursue their investiga- j ?ons. A number of politicians and place huniers ro still on hand, who will remain, "watching the ourso of events,'* and be ready to take advantage f any event or change that thiey may conceive to e favorable to themselves; tor, as a prominent fticial remarked to-day, there is now a greater op ortunity for pkee and position than has been nown before for years. During tho late war, it will be remembered, Wm. '. Smithson, a banker, foimely ol' this city, was rreeted by order ot' Secretary Stanton on a liarge of sending information to the enemy; was ried by military commission, and sentenced to nprisonmcnt in the Albany penitentiary. * Mr. mithson was subsequently pardoned, and he then isntuted suit against Mr. Stanton for falso im risonmcnt, laying his damages at $50.1)00. Tho ?tendant put in a special plea to tho bill, in hich reference was made to a number of docu icnts, while tho documenta themselves were not rodnccd, whereupon tho pLuutiff, through his >unsel, submitted a motion to compel the^de ndant to produce thc documenta for inspection, he motion was to have been argued yesterday bc ire Judge Wylie, but tho hearing has boen poet? ised for a lew days.

FERENT VIEWS Cl F TUE CONSTITUTIONAL PBOVIS IONS THEREON. Th" only bills signed by the President that were >t reported to Congress bclorc adjournment aro lose changing the timo of holding thc annual coting of tho stockholders of the Union Pacific ailroad Company, and the bill changing the uamo Samuel Chase Barney. The other bills in tho hands of the President fail r lack of Iiis approval, except tho bill to incorpo? ro tho First Presbyterian Church in this city, hieb was not presented to the Executive until isterday morning, and of course loo lato to re? ive Mr. Johnson's signature, as ho lias no tthority to affix his name and approval after tho iv on "which Congress adjourns. Tue chairman the Senate cominittoo ou engrossed bills says ho d not get possession of tho bill la6t mentioned dil yesterday, and therefore failed to got it to tho resident in timo to authorize tho Executive sig iture. It is proper hero to say that prominent Republi ,n Congressmen differ with Mr. Johnson upon o construction of tho language of tho coustitu m, which pr?vidos that if a bill be not signed by 0 President within ten days it shall become a sv unless Congress, by Ita adjournment, prevent 1 return. Tho congressmen argue that tho ad urnraont of last Friday, to moot on tho 6th of nuary, ia not such an adjournment os is contem atcd ny the torma of the constitution as to sign g bills, but tho prose it is only a recess, and mco tho bill striking out the word "white," and her bills in tho President's banda, do not fai! bec ?ne laws by reason of layt Friday's adjourn ent.
