A "Western Estimate of tue Future of South. Curollun. The Ciucina:' Enquirer, in a late issue, re? marks: We* observe that a lino of steamers has been established between Charleston, South Caro? lina, and Liverpool. This and thc railroads soon to be completed, placing the city in direct communication with Charleston, ure facts worth v the attention of the business men of this city, with a view to cslablishiue; business relations in the State of South Carolina. The completion of the Rabun Gap Road and another road now completed in Tennessee, to the North Carolina line, and which is to run aiong thc valley of the French Broad to Asheville, North Carolina, and thence into South Carolina, will open to this city an outlet to thc Atlantic shorter than any other by about two hundred miles. There is also now a fine opportunity for capi? talists to invest in real estate in South Carolina. Lends can now bi purchased in that State at very low prices, which will ceitainly increase trrcatlyin value. No satur or more profitable investment can well be made at this time than m the lands in the Southern Staten. . GENERAL LONGSTREET. His Estimate of General Grant-His Plan I of lteconstructioii-Thc Laws ot Con v'l'cs.- Should br Supported. Thc Atlanta New Era publishes thc following letter from General James Longstreet: LrxcnBUHG, VA., Novem ber 24. 3?y Beor ?'tr-Many of our Southern ?nen seem lo have lost bight of the fun (lamenta) doc? trine-the interest of the people-in their zeal io maintain their ideas or consistency, which consists ic adhering to old truths, whether they work for weal or for ?oe. I regret that I am not boiler prepared to meet your wishes for information in regard to tho Inturc policy of our new President. Although I have had tho pleasure of several interviews with him within the last few years, I have not soncrht to learn his appreciation of political questions ot tho present or of the rutare. I regard his past course and decided character as tuc surest guarantee of his future course. The floating idea that has attached itself to the minds of the many that he may yet prove to bc a Demo? crat, is Tike many other speculations that gain circulation sud credence, but only serve to de? ceive those who arc credulous enough to in? dulge them. If wc recall to mind the events of the la3t two years, we shall remember that General Grant's position at oue timo was such as to insure his nomination for President by the party that ho might choose ns rn- in ac? cord with his viens of public policy, and sub quent events indicate that his personal popularity is sucb as to have tinned ti:e bal? ance in IKS favor. It seems to mc unreason? able, therefore, to expect to find him, at this late day, socking allinuce with the old party. His ant?c?dents clearly mark him us a nation? al maD, and of such bc gives assurance of his adhesion to tho party whoso basis is the Union, and that ibo influence of his adminis? tration will bo applied to its complete and prosperous restoration. A fiir-miuded peo? ple must know, however, that no individual, unaided, can accomplish this great purpose. Ho must needs have tho assistance ol' the Ncrth, ol' the South, of the East, and of the West. Having assurances of co-operation < from other parts of thc country, be only wants , that of tho South to complete tb2 combina? tion which will give to his administration a 1 happy advent, aud comfortable anticipations of its salutary progress. Th.it l he people of : the South- desire practical reconstruction, : there can be no doubt; but it seems to be dif?- I cult to develope that sentiment So as lo pro- ' duce practical results. Drifting along in tho j channel into which chanco seems to have 1 thrown me, I begin to lind myself, like many I others, ready with my theory. As it may in- 1 terest you, I give you a concise etatcniont of ' it. If you find that you can make it useful, 1 yon are'at liberty to do so. The wealth of the I South lies in its soil. If Ibis proposition is ; true, its sequonts are equally eo. 1 L Labor is csiontial to make that wealth < available. 2. To command labor, laws must 1 enconrago and protect it. Also their eo-sc- J querts. To encourage and invite labor, evi- 1 denccs of protection must be made manifest 1 through tho operation of law upon tho labor < that we have. Hence, it appears that tho ! value of our lands depeud upon our labor, our ? labor upon the law, and tho law upon us. A | failure upon our part, therefore, to enact and i enforce proper laws, will bo as fatal to thc in- l forests of thc owners of real estate as confisca- I tion. And yet, all that Congress asks us to do 1 is to avail* ourselves of the only niojns by which wo may avoid serious depreciation of 1 (.ur material interests. That is, this will be 1 tho practical result of reconstruction, under I national legislation, upon our iutercsts. The 1 moving cause of that legislation, probably, was ' "security for the future." Here, wo may dis- ' cover the line that should mark our connection 1 with reconstruction. It begins and ends in 1 our caro for home interests. Ii will be lime 1 enough -to begin lo loot ?uio th? fu'-arc when J wo have provided tor tho present, lae politi- "l cians of the old school seem anxious to impress < upon thc minds of our young men the import- 1 ance of rejecting all propositions coming from ! tho Republican party, or else they dishonor ? their own blood, and the blood of their tallen comrades. But gentlemen should leincmlior that they only dishonor their comrades when they dishonor "themselves, and that thcro can- : not be dishonor in ready obedience to law and a proper can/ for our own welfare. On thc contrary, to discard the law a-,d expose our? selves to unnecessary difficulties is noar akin to dishonor. It is true that many worthy persons aro disiranchitod und?r the btw, biit the readiest and surest means of relief are through tho law. I conclude, therefore, that interest and duty and honor demand that we should place ourselves in a condition to support tho laws ot Congress. When we havo douo so, wc shall receive abundantly of help from the Executivo, and from tho other members ol tho government. I remain, verv trillv vours. JAMES LONGSTREET. ' Mr. Jons H. DENT, Cavo Spring, Georgia. GREELEY ON TUE AMNESTY. Ills Views in llegan! to the Release of Jefferson Davis. (From the New York Tribune, December 2S | Pr?sidant Johnson's Christmas Proclama? tion of Universal Amnesty excites little inter- . est and provokes lew remarks. We rejoice j that th; very man who was most vehement aud vociferous m proclaiming that "treason j was a crime, and traitors must bc punished/' ? when Lincoln's murder had set tho country ? wild for vengeance, now fathers the most sweep- j iug amnesty over pronounced JV man. In s > far as lie mav have sought or wished lo disturb ] tito foundations ol rcconstractiou as cnaclo'l by ] Congress, his proclamation can havo no legal ? fore.-; Otherwise, wo presnme it will laue J fuUclfect. If anv of the Unding rebels tiaro i thus far remained abroad from apprehension 1 that they would bo prosecuted or otherwise < molested if tl.oy came home, they will soot be 1 among us. We doubt that they are SM many j as twenty in all. * j We soldoui ol' late lind a decent excuse for 1 praising Andrew Johnson; bul we iban'.; him for j putting au end, evtn thus tardily, to tho s wind-' j ling le^nl farce, enacted every low mont Its, nu- j der the deceitful title ol' "Trial ol Jet)'. Davis." j A swiadle by which nobody 13 duped-a laroo at ( which nobody thinks of langhing-must-have 1 outlived its day. Now, there has been no in- 1 tclligent person deceived, for at least two 1 yeal s back, by 'bo pretence of keeping Davis j in confinement or holding him to bail, as j though it wera intended that ho should be put \ on trial for his life. For a tiuie, there was 1 some such expectation; and the good-natured j public thought it rather a nice thing to spend < $100,000 or so per annum to keep him safe in 1 Fortress Momoo till the day of trial should 1 arrive. Rut he who does not know that 1 trials tor treason must be brought on while j treason is Btill rampant and perilous, or < very soon after its collapse, else a cu.nvic- j tion is impossible, cairiol have read many vol- 1 unies of history. Wo doubt that it was ever ' possible to coiivict Davis of treason in a civil . court, unless by excluding every active Demo- ? erat from ?he jury-box. Jud^c Underwood, ( who would havo rejoiced to try him with a 1 chauce of suc?es?, testified before a commit- 1 tee of Congress that no verdie- could be ob- 1 tained against him in Virginia, unless th* jury ( were packed for the pmposc-which is un- < lioubiodly true.

A special Washington telegram of thc 27th instant, to thc Now York Tribune, .-ays : The question of thc wholesale displacement of Johnson's officiais who hold commissions by and with the advice and consent of tho Repub? lican Senate, on the 4:h of March next, by thc incoming administration, has been the subject of deep consideration by thefriendsflof General Grant for a long time past. The subject Inv? ine; latelv been alluded to in conversations with the President elect, he emphatically de? clared his opposition, in so many wotds, to thc old Jackson doctrine that to the victors belong tho spoils. In other words, ho is opposed to turnmc men out of offic; merely tor opinion's sake. The purpose ot his administration will bo tho taithfnl performance of tho dutiC3 of his great office; to see that the laws aro carried out; that honestv and economy prevail in tho public service, and that all tho offices arc filled bv capable and efficient men. This ii under? stood to mean that if an officer in thc public service has shown a peculiar fitness for his po silion and evidence of his ability to perform its functions in the highest degree of excel? lence and with honesty of purpose, no matter what his political opinions may bo, it would bo improper to displace that officer with one who mid at least perform thc duties u ) better. While it is probablo that General Grant will seek in tho Republican party men to lill the various offices, it is certain that he will look more closely to the fitness of tho candidate than to bis political sorviccs to any party; and that thc claims of no man on thc latter ground merely will bo considered. COTTOX JU KENO. Thc New Order of 'I Ii i u a;s-Tlic Grand Future before thc South. The Memphis Appeal, in a recent review of thc condition of the plauters ol thc South, con eludes that they arc better off than ever before md that their prospects could not well bo im provod. The largest cotton crop ever raised wa> in 1359- 'CO, which was about 5.003 003 bales, roal smg, at $50 a bale. $250,033,000. This year the crop will be about 2 000,000 balos; it is ivorth $100 a bale, and in the aggregate $200, 3Q0.000, or onlv one-fifth less than the crop of lS?9-'G0. Now", to the profits of this year aro to bc added some important ?tenn. Their expenditures do not include interest on [lie money which thc laborer, as a slave, iva9 worth; nor taxes on tho same; nor food for tho idle, the sick, thc young, or tho aged. Moro'th in this, their money h? not been scut North for tho pur :haso of provisions, for whatever food their people requir? has been produced from their awn soil in thc greatest abundance. Hence, t is assoiled that tho present otton crop trill bring in as much rooney as aver was re rtoived by thc South from this source in her oalmiest days, though it is admitted that there iro some temporary drawbacks growing out of the "late unpleasantness." Anot her condition s equally favorable: Formerly the commission merchant in a measure held a mort mure on all tho plantet 's possessions, tor ho made advances an a crop beforo it was grown, and this contin? ued from year to year, without a prospect of lehvcraiicc. But now, through tho instru? mentality of tho bankrupt law, a modern jubi? lee lias dawned, making ono man as good as another. Thus, thc South has a now and a tair start; and with the*certainty of furnishing to the rnirkets of thc world two hundred million dollars ' worth of cotton year after year, a large poitioti of which will be rolainod among them? selves by reason of thoir ncwly-ostabltshed thrilt ana the enlargement of thc list of farm produc?s, they aro cvid.mtiy entering ripon a sonne of unexampled prosperity. This is said af thestaplo crop of cotton alone; but there will ho iitrgc receipts from sngar. rica and tobacco, and it is declared that of themselves they would be abie, "in tifteen j eats, to pay off tho whole of tho national debt."' But if they aro wiso enough to take care of themselves, this $200,000,000 coming in every year will be in? vested in railroads and othor improvements, which will induce immigrants, who will add to their population and wealth, and in time give them that which tho North now possesses political power. In view of theso brilliant prospects, tho North is deft;ned to bo unde? ceived, and instead ot carpet-baggers shu will send meu of a different class-men who will seek by industry to build np homes itr the Sunny South; and, finally, the North and the whel? world will unite in confessing that, after all, "Cotton is King.' TEXXl'SOX AT HOME. Drinking, Smoking and Heading His Own Poetry, [From a Private Lotter.] We crossed to Cowes, and took a Uv lo Far ringtord, distant twelve miles; a glorious drive across tue Isle o'Wight, between ivied hedges iud past gardens of laural and laurnstinns. 1 [bund Farringford wonderfully improved; tho little park is a gem of gardening art.

Tho house has been refurnished, md a great many pictures and statues added ?ince I was lhere. In a minute in came Tciinv bon, cordial a; a i old friend, followed hy bia ivir , as sweet as ever, but feebler and older looking. lu Tennyson himself I could sec no particular ch inge.

Tennyson and I retired to his itudyat I ho top ot tho bouse, lit pipes, and :alkod of poetry. Ho asked ire if I could read Iiis "Boadicea?" I thought I could. "Read t ?ndlet me see," said bc. "I would rather rear you read it," I answered. Thereupon lie lid BO, chanting tho lumbering lines with great auction. I spoke of tho idyll ol "Guiuivere" is being perhaps his finest poem, and said hat leonid not read it aloud without uiv voico ailing me at certain pass ties. "Why, I can read ir, and keep my voice," he exclaimed tri ?mphautly. This 1 doubted, and he agreed tn ?ry, alter we wen!, down. But the first bing he did was to produce a magnum at wonderful sherry, thirty years old, vhich bau been sent, to him by a pool ic ?vino dealer. Such wine I never tasted. "It vas meant t" ba drunk by Cleopatra or Catha? rine of Russia,*" said Tennyson. We had two jlasscs apiece,when he sahl, "to-night you shall aelp me drink ono of tho fi-w bottles of mv Waterloo-1815. We will make a night of it." Thc bottle wtn brought, ami after another "loss a'l round, Tennyson took up tho "Idylls af the King." His reading is a strange monot? onous chant, with unexpected falling Inflec? tions, winch i cannot describe, but eau ?un? ?ale exactly. Ir is very impressive; in spite of myself I became very much excite.', tts ho went on. Finally, when Arthur forgives the Queen, fetim son's voice fairly broke.

At the Crater of Vesuvius. iTroni ibo Pal! Mall Gazetto.l Ofion as Vesuvius has been described, tlicre is one set of impressions which arc perhaps the most generally interesting ol' all, but which, from the nature of thc case, ca .not so fre? quently be recorded. I refer to tho impressions of one who has stood upon the lip of Ihe crater and looked down while an eruption is actually in progress, lt is not always that a view o'f such a scone can bo obtained. It was at a time when crash was following crash in a manner that was quito sufficiently terribie, and when all the suffocating steams and vnpors were be? ing driven to one side of ihe mountain by a slrong wind, that wo wcro rblo to go up fro n the windward side, stand upon the lip of the crater, look down into tho roaring abyss, and sec what thc eruption of a volcano lool?Uko on the spot. That is, in truth, th: only way of getting an idea of what a repository oi' horrors a volcano is. You may bc a little disappointed a3 you sec Vesuvius from below. Bat you? have only to mount to tho sumniit/whcu an eruption of any magnitude is in progress to timi yourself in the presence of appalling phenomena both of sight and sound. Choose tho iast few hours of day? light for your ase .nt; and then, as thc darkness closes round, and tho world below be? comes hidden fr?m your view, you stand at the crater tn presence of a scene for which no lan? guage can bc very extravagant. Tor experi? enced mountaineers tho effort required for tho ascent is nothing remarkable; but for ordinary people il is laborious enough. iou arrive at the edge of the crater, and th ero you behold a scene full of awo and maj? esty. Ihe suddenness with which you come upon it is quite startling. Going up yon neither sec nor hear anything. Ono moment yon aro clambering up the side of thc cone amid pro? found ??lenco; thc next moment, as your hoad rises above thc crater hp, you encounter a roar and a blaze which miko you shrink back a little. This surprise is occasioned, I sup? pose, by tho formation of the crater. It is a huge bowl which comes np lo quito a sharp lip, about haifa mile* in diameter and some hundred yards in depth. Towards ihe bottom of this bowl, on the opposite side io where wc stood, was a groat hole, from which all tho projectiles of tho eruption wero shot; the surface of tho bowl being composed of lumps of Liva, ston-;a and cinders, all of them smeared with sulphur, pre? cisely like those upon which wc were standing. As you mount tho cone lhere is between you and" tho o.u!f a:i onormous wall, which dillis everything alike-for eye and car. Even wh.le on thc steeps of tho cone itself you might he unaware that tlieuonnfa?n was disturbed. But a single step see ms almost e. ough to transfer you from the most deathlike stillness to thc grandest exhibition of force iL is possible to conceive. Instead of tho monotonous dull black ol' congealed lava on the lower levels, you have the deep brick red ot sienes that have been nuder the action of Ure, thc bright? est vermilion, and every inopinable shado of orange and yellow that Sulphur deposits are capable Of taking. Thc ground is hot loo; so hot, indeed, that you cannot koop your feet on the same &pot for many seconds to? gether. Between tho c'links of tho stones you can soo that a ?ow inches below the surface it ts actually rod hoi. You thrust in the end of your stick lor a moment and yon pull il out charred. Over nil the further half of thc Cra? ter there hangs a dense cloud ot smoko and vapor; all around you there is an atmosphere ot sulphur which so's you coughing; from numberless small holes about your feet there issue with a hiss sulphurous jets of slcaru which nearly choke you as yon pass over them; and then a's you look down into the actual abyss you are* lace to Taco with tho most ap? palling' phonom ona, both of sight and pound, which, perhaps, tho wuolo of Eurone has to offer. Among tho crowd of strenge sensations that aro experienced at. such .. time tho phe? nomena ot. sound aro poihnps tho moat won? derful of all. What meets tbs ear is, if auy thiag, even moro terrific than what meets the oyo. Even to sight the eruption is not just what thc imagination paints it beforehand. It docs not coasist. as the pictures neces? sarily lead one to suppose, of a continuous shower at all. Still less does it consist of a continuous shower of black ashes shot out from a arc blazing oa thc top of thc mountain; it is lather a senes of explosions. Hui tho roar and glare ef tho great abyss is continu? ous. You loolc into thc pit, and though you sec no actual Hame, yet its sides arc in a state of constant incandescence; from tho mouth of it there roars up incessantly a dense cloud of steam; and in the depth of it below you bear the noise of preparation for thc outburst that is next to rome. Theil you hear a sharper crackle, and then without farther warning fol? lows a loud explosion, which shoots into the air a torrent of white-hot missiles of every shape and size. So enormous are the forces at work that not only small nieces of stone and sulphur, such as you might carry away as mementoes of your visit, but hage blocks of mineral, caclr-enough io load a radway ballast wagon, and all in a state ot perfectly white heat, aro tossed up as though they were so many cricket balls. Thc explosion hists, per? haps, no tonger than a minute; and then thoio is a cessation of some seconds with the noise only ol' internal preparation once more, after winch Ibo'explosion is repeated. That waa nothing io the almost stupifymg din that was going on beloio nj-moments when thc day? light was over, and the world below could no longer be distinguished-when wc had nothing but the clear starlight overhead, an.l were truly a!o:ie with tho mountain; when tho varied coloring or thc ground had disippearo 1 in (he darkness, and iidthing contd bo seen but tho gleam of tho burning earth through the chinks at our feet; while thu trilito, hoi glaring rib? bon urmoltcu lava glided languidly down thc mmutain at our side, and before OS was ibo limbing of the inner Uro upon the cloud of vapcr overhanging the i-.byss. Take all those to .ether, a:nl thc sccuo is indeed ra thor differ? ent from what you picture to yourself as you calmly real in your newspaper that Vesuvius is once again in a elato of eruption. I spoke just now of the stream of lava which glides down thc mountain. lu tho first place, tivo |)cculiaritii s wcro observable in it. One was the marvellous slowness of its motion. lu tho early part ot it descant thc incline over which ii had to pass was precipitous; yet so slowly did this mass of liquid lire move- within its bed that its cuiront was only just percepti? ble. It seemed lo lie only just in motion. Perhaps in some degree connected with the same cohesion which thia languor of move? ment indicated, was tho other peculiarity of tho lava stream-the tenacity of its surface. In appearance, as wo stood above it, it was in a perfectly liquid state ; :t look od as though you might ruffle its sur laco with tho point ol' your stick. Great, accordingly, was om1 surprise al finding that even with thu very greatest force available on the spot wo could not make tho slightest impression upon it. The largest masses vt milicia! that wo could litt, wa dashed down from above upon the buming si ream; but thev simply bormded across its lice, hue a nail upon a floor, without producing the faintest apparent idontaiion. Moreover, it is common? ly supposed that lava is always projected from toe crater, and tho language commonly uaea iu des tiptiouencourages thc idea. "A stream of lava was seen to issue bom thc ?rafer" is ike sort of phraseology with whi-h one is most familiar in accounts of eruptions that took place in bvgotic dava*. I am not sure that this is ever strictly accurate; but with tho cra? ter in anything like its present form it hardly seems probable I* would take a vast qu intily of molten lava lolill that great bowl of half a milo diameter, which I supp );e it would have to do bet?re ?my of it wouid;run over down tho sides of tho mountain. I saw uo indication that this ever too? place. While you are un tho ino M- f tain, tho streams uf lava which have Issued forth aud cooled at the several proviens erup? tions are quite distinguishable from ex?i other by the!! ttiil'.roneos of structure and irolor. Wc saw man; such; but I saw no indication of any ono of them having come over inc lip of tho crater. lu every single instance, tho source ol toe lava Btrcam .seemed to bave been lower down thc mountain. CertaAilv this was Ibo case with thc very tine one which burst out just before our visit. As we ?food upon thc lip of thc crater it was below us throughout its whole length. Thc lava was issuing from a great Unsure which it bad made for itself some distance down in thc side of thc cone. Thc guides hurried us away bom tho neighbor? hood of its source, because, they said, ir was quite possible ano!lier orifice might open at any moment, and thou it would bc all over with tho present spectators. Thc exp?rience of these men clearly led them to regard this as me normal mode of the emission of lava. In the case actaallv bet?re us it was be' g poured forth evenly and continuously in a molten 'tate from thc fissure; it descended for a sh >rt die lance, in r. broad stream, to a point where a bifurcation took place, and then the-burning mineral went down to the base of the mountain in two streams of perhaps twenty feet each in width, looking in the darkness like two broad ribbons of lire streatching down into the plain Mr. filad A o ur ' s Later Vi i v. s ali o u t Am oi? lcan Affairs. 3Ir. Gladsionc has written a letter to Mr. Lo?ter, a New York author, thc cist of which is contained in thc following paragraph: With ?espect to thc opinion I publicly ex? pressed, at a period during thc war, that the South had virtually succoedoti in achieving its independence,! could not be surprised or offend? ed, if thc expression of such airopinion at such a time, had been treated in your work much less kindly than tho notices I find at pagos 529-533. 1 must confess that I was wrong; that I toole too m neb upon myself in express? ing such an opinion. Yet thc motivo was not bad. My '..sympathies'' were then where they had long" before been, where they are now with the whole American people I. probably like many Europeans, did not understand tho nature" and working of the American Union. 1 bad imbibed, conscien? tiously if erroneously, an opinion that twenty or twenty-lour millions of tho North would bo happier, and would bo stronger (of courso as? suming that they would hold togethor) with? out thc South than with it, and also tba', tho negroes woidd ba much nearer to emancipa? tion under a Southern government, than un? der the old system of thc Union, which had not at that dato (Aniust, 1362) been abandon? ed, and which always appeared to me to placo tho whole power of tho North at the command of the elavebolding interest of the South. A far as regards tho special or ecparate in? terest of England in tho matter, I diflcrinf from many other:!, had always contended that it was best for our interest t'aat tho Union should bc kept entire. Forgive these details on a matter which has now lost its interest. I havo now to conclude by renewing my thanks, and by expressing my most earnest desire that your country, already so great, may grow, prosper and flourish more and more for irs own benefit, and for the bone fit of thc world.
