The gene? ral principles ot tho American treaty were dis? cussed. Late telegrams from Hong Kong coii?rm the re-establishment of the Mikado at Jeddo. It is proposed that owners of yachts of equal tonnage with the Dauntless accept Bennett's challenge. Mr. Ashbury, in bia note to Messrs. Bennett and Stebbens, of New York, relative to the proposed yacht race, after objecting to tho tonnage cf tho Dauntless, says ho will race Lie Puantom across the Atlantic. He will go in any event, and thus give thc Sappho and other English yachts a chanco to accept.

He confidently hoped that tho year 18(59 would provo as satisfactory as tho year which bad just closed, and that tho course ot events may dissipate unfavorable apprehen? sions and consolidate the peaco so ne:cssary . to the welfaro and progress of civilized nations ' and peoples. A decree, signed M. Rouher, is publisher1 which assigns to the new organ of thc govern? ment the title of Journal Official dc l'Empire. There has been a very considerable outflow of specie from the Bank of France closing tho week just passed. The official statement of thc bank is published to-day, which shows the amount of bullion o~ hand 31,000,000 francs less than at tho co. soonding period last week. It is now more than likely that both Turkey and Greece will participate in the conference. Alexandre, Rego and Rangabe are represent? ing Greece. KEW YEARS ADDRESS OF KING VICTOR EMANUEL.

EFFORTS AT RECONSTRUCTION-A CONVENTION TO BE CALLED-TWENTi'-SIX THOUSAND DOL? LARS DEFALCATION. RICHMOND, January 2.-For two days past a conference ol some of tho loading mon in thc State has been in session, attended by Hon. A. H. H. Stewart, of Staunton; Hon. Thoa.

Bolling, Jas. F. Johnson, ior mer Whig Senator; Frank G. Rnffin, General John Echols, W. T. Sutherland and others. Last night, after midnight, they agreed on a pt camble and resolutions, which set forth that while the pooplc of Virginia do not believe that thc negroes, in their uneducated condi? tion, arc as yet fit for suffrage, yet, in view of the expression of public opinion in thc recent national election, and in restoring hcrmony and union, they are willing to accept universal suffrage, coupled with universal amnesty. A committes of nino was appointed to visit Washington and urge Congress to legislate so as to secure theso to thc people of thc S.r.te. The committee is composed of A. H. H. Stewart, Wyndham E. Robertson, J. 13. Baldwin, James Nccson, W. T. Sutherland, J. L. Marve, Jr., J. F. Slaughter, 3. F. Johnsoo and W. L. Owen. ' A resolution was adopted recommending the people of thc State to hold a convention on February 10th, in Richmond, lo receive tho report of the committee and arrange for the canvass. This conference is Ihe result of a movement on the part of tho "Bo Somethings," as dis? tinguished from tho "Bo Nothings." The for . t desiring to make some advance towards meeting tho ReconsTtiction acts, and to avert? ing tho disabilities, test oaths, &c, of tho new constitution; and the latter believing that the people of the State should, under no circum? stances, sanction negro suffrage, which they believe disastrous and degrading. . R. W. Hobson, ex-deputy collector of inter? nal revenue of the Danville (Va.) District, was brought here to-night, charged with defraud? ing tho rovenue by not accounting for $20,000 received by him. H<3 was bonded in $10.000 to answer. CONDENSED TELEGRAMS. The steamboat A. J. Brown collided with the Bremen stoamshp Teutonia, between New Or? leans and tho mouth of the Mississippi, on Wednesday, and soon turned bottom up. The books, papers, money and everybody on board were saved. Thc Teutonia was uninjured and passed on. A dispatch from Jefferson, Texas, reports thc arrest by the military of Colonel R. F. Crump, Dr. Marshall, B. T. Thompson, R V. McGill, ex-Chief of Police, and two freedmen; charges not known. M?ny others arc said to be spotted for arrest.

At a shooting match at Toronto, Canada, on New Year's day, Giles, a famous rifleman, was accidentally shot and killed. lhere was a furious storm in thc neighbor? hood of Springfield, Mass., on thc 2J instant, and tho railroad tra?as wero obstructed. William Frazier and H. S. Quackcnbusk, the President and Secretary of tho American Agri? cultural and Mineral Land Company, have been arrested and held te bail in thc sum of $25,000, for falso representations concerning 3,000,000 acres of land in North Carolina. THE RAILROAD QUESTION. TO THE EDITOR OF 7 BE NEWS. We have read with some surprise an article which appeared iu your paper of the 2St? ult., on "The State and our Railroad System," feign? ed "Tax-payer." The writer sets ont with the complaint that the State and the City of Charleston have in? curred at least oiic-lialfof their debt by sub? scriptions to railroads. It might woU be quos tioned whether the State or the Ci ly of Charles? ton could have confered a greater benefit upon ' its citizens than they have done ny their wise ; and liberal poiicy towards railroads, and we sholl certainly not attempt to re-write the cpi- j taphs of those departed worthies who have loft ' us this legacy. There may have beeu mtsnian- 1 agement; there will always bo discontent with ' any management; but this arises perhaps 1 oftener hom the constitutional inlirmity of the grumbler than from any fault ot the raiiroad 1 or its managers. It has been the history of too ' many large and meritorious enterprises' at tho j South, both public and private, to struggle . through years of toil and anxiety, only to be ! sacrificed at last to some unworthy* prejudice. It is scarcely a valid objection to au institu- ! tion or corporation, good otherwiso in itself, that its bonds were bought during the .var with Confederate money; but thi?, solaras , the interest of the wi i ter in this road is con- ' cerned, is not the case. Some of us at least in- i vested in these bonds when tho road was bist commenced, and we did it conscientiously, to I aid an eutei prise which we believed would con- ' fer benefit both upon tho city and tho State, 1 and we protest against being sacrificed to ap- 1 pease the pique or prejudice ol any ono. 3 The editorials of IHE NEWS, on the subject of the Savannah and Charleston Railroad, have j not besn answered, and if the majority o? tho Legislature can and will take the trouble to read them, they will sec, what Tax payer has ! failed to sec, that tho aid solicited for the com- ! pletion of this road from tho Legislature is not 1 to increase tho liability of the State either di? rect cr contingent, but to euablo the company ' to complote the road.und thereby conter a vast? ly increased value upon a security now in a most unsatisfactory condition. We know very little of thc plans or purposes of thc Boatd of i Directors of tho Savannah and Charleston Rail- j road Company, but wo aro inclined lo think . that Northern capital will not be intimidated i or discouraged by thc course they will pursue, | if their memorial is granted by thc Legisla- ? ture; iudced it has been intimated to us that , there aro parties who will readily undertake | the completion of tho road to the advantage of , the State, to the. bjul interests of thc city, fo tho great convenience of the travelling com- ' mumty, and to the infinite satisfaction of those whoso'money helped to build thc road. ENTERPRISE. A MISTAKEN IDEA CORRECTED.-Mrs. Wm. R. Rcmele, of Middlebury, Vt., uudcr date of July 7,18??, writes : "I wish to speak a word tor your machine. Before using it, I waa strongly impressed with thc 'dca that a 'double-thread? ed' machino must bc superior; but., after hav? ing used your machitte two und a half years, I am prepared lo say that-I would not exchauge the Willcox & Gibbs for any 'double-threaded' machino I have ever seen." -Mr. Disraeli mudo three appointments of importance in oonncciiou with the government of Ireland on tho very day in which he resigned his own position. The several gentlemen thus ?ppointed ha i the satisfaction ol holding office for about twelve boars. WASHINGTON GOSSIP. Grant vs. Johnson-Tit for Tat-Outside lnnusnralioii or Inside Inaugural-La co ii i sins of Grant. From the Washington corrcsponcence of ihe Baltimore papers wc take the following : A partial cs?mate of tho great number of people who will be here to witness General Grant's inauguration may be formed when it is stated that every room in one of tho largest hotels has been already eng :god, and thc pro? prietors were compelled to refuse at least two hundred other applicants. In noticing th? other day thc little personal "unpleasantness' between thc outgoing and in? coming Presidents, I took occasion to depre? cate thc unsoldicr-like dodge ol' General Grant in shirking a visit to Mr. Johnson on New Yeal's day by an ignominious Hight to Phila? delphia. Thia has given risc to thc sugges? tion that anuthci difficulty is ahead; that upon "inauguration da\" it has been customary for thc Setting Sun to attend tho Bisin r in his triumphant course to thc Capitol, and that it may not bo agreeable to tho latter luminary to permit his elfulgcnca to bo eclipse! by the su? perior splendor ot the former. I apprehend no difficulty on this score. .Air. Johnson will scarcely, after what has occurred, com? mence negotiations upon (his delicate and grave point. Mr. Adam3 put on a stiff upper lin on the 4th of March, 1821), and did not at? tend (nor did ho offer to attend) the ceremonies of Jackson's inauguration. Doubtless there have been other parallel cases in our history. Bur besides all this, L learn that General Grant haB intimated laconically to his Man Fri? day that ho desires to break up and for? ever destroy the Plebeian custom of out-door inaugurations and elaborato "Inaugurals." Ile will therefore bo sworn in, togethor with tho Vice-l'rosident, in the Sonate Chamber, without any parade. President Johnson's presence can thercforo bo very well dispensed with. A principal reason for this change of base is that tho coming man is "no orator, as Brutus i6.:' His speech prefatory to kissing tho calf-skin, it is thought, will be exceedingly brief, not bigger than a"piece of ehalt, of suffi? cient dimensions, however, for u.arking down certain important and profound political max? ims, such as ' Lot ns have Peace !" "['Jl fight it out ou this linc if ib takos mo all summer!" "Congress knows more about these mattors than 1 do myself." "I have not given them a thought." "I havo seen thc horse Dexter fre? quently, and think tho likeness perfect." lt would be manifestly outside tho pale of deco? rum to assemble hundreds of thousands of eagar spectators in front of .the eastern portico of thc Capitol, and dismiss them thus abruptly. I'lio insido track is, therefore, indispensable, where the President elect may, as succinctly as hu chooses, announce his linc of merell, and ler.vo elucidation und embellishment to ilurcus Schuyler Brutus Colfax, wno ia really an orator of nature's own making. THU POSITION OF THE SOUTH. A Plain and Forcible Statement of thc Financial Advantages of thc Southern States. Tho Washington correspondent of thc New fork Express writes: Letters from tho West state that thc strin? gency in commercial circles there is greater than it has boon since 1857-that tho country is over-stocked with goods, and thatch j farm? ers refuse to send their grain to market in con? sequence of the d?chue in prices since 1807. At the South the aspect is more cheerful. Tho high price of cotton will put $250,000 000, for that product alone, into the pockets ot tho "reconstructed" of that section, to say nothing i of largo amounts for tobacco in Virginia, North i Carolina, Maryland, Missouri and Kentucky, and for wheat and corn in the same States and in Georgia and Tennessee Tho whole value of the surplus crops of the South this year cannot be less than $300 003,000, of which : probably $100.000,000 are paid to tho negroes ' m -too snape of wages, .iud $5U,0u0,0CO mure in the shape of food. Another year of equal prosperity would pat I thc South in a comparatively sound condition, i although, of course, there arc and must be for < many years numerous cases cf individual suf? fering-as ot persons in advanced life, totally < ruined by the war, their houses and furniture ' destroyed, and all their investments of money ' completely worthless. Wbon wo consider that 1 tho accumulated savings of two hundred i years have been destroyed at the South, we ' cannot ecase to wonder that her recuperation ] should be as rapid as it is. i Of the immenso importai ion of foreign goods, cloths, silks, velvets, laces, jewelry, i wines and other costly merchandise, the South ' uow lakes comparatively little. Her consump? tion is mainly confined to tho necessaries of ! life, and will* bo for some years. Honco her I recovery from torsos will be more rapid. The < Southern people, with few exceptions, never I were a luxarious people, in the sonso that the ' New Yorkers and Parisians are. They ch?r? it bed for tho most patt Ibo homely virtuos of i their aucostors, and lived well "upon tho pro? duce ot their fields, their forests and their 1 rivers-"onient with roomy homes, wood-fires and old-fashioned furniture Hence, in their present depressed condition, they are more contented thin a straugcr would suppose it i possible for them to be. Wo hear of few sui- | cides there, and tho number ot insane persons J in Virginia is only half tho number ia alaine, i regard being had to population. i In its best days there was vory lUtlo money 1 in circulation in thc* .South. Now there is still i less. In thu commercial panic which seems to be approaching, the South will therefore suffer loss than the North from any contraction of i the currency that may precedo the icatoraiion : to prosperity. In tho south lhere are no real ostato speculations, oven in the environs ?if : he i cities; no artificial values given to town-lots ut 1 embryo Palmyra* or Babylons. Fvs!i.ta ?cute ' is eminently tuc rulo Ibero, so far as real ostato i is concerned. They arc not a gregarious peo- 1 plc, but love elbow-;oom above everything. Uitics they regard as necessary evils, and as i such not to be encouraged unduly beyond mod- 1 :-rato dimensions. For thc greater thc city the greater thc evil. 1 lt is very evident that busiuess at thc North i is overdone; that there are to? many non- i producers there, too many merchants, too i oiauy traders, too many agents, too many law- I yers, too many doccois, too many persons, in short, who stand merely as iutormediarios be Lweeu tho producer an J thc consumer. One of 1 the Now York journals estim?tes thal there aro < two hundred thousand peoplo out of work | within sight of the spire of Trinity Church, i Within an equal distauce of the State House at i Boston lhere tue doubtless fifty thousand more, ind another tilly thousand in thc interior of i New Euglaud. Most of theso unfortunate l persons are anxious* tor employment, but cannot I obtain it. Even the high tariff, which so cn- ? riches thu great manufacturers, docs uof put a ] norsel of bread or an ounce of meat into their I liouths. What visible outlet to all this surplus labor : is afforded, unless at thc South? Thc West, i i'or the present, is pretty well filled up with la- i borers of all descriptions, and thousands the e i ire out ol'work. Tho South, then, is tac only vacant field easily accessible on this continent i for thc unemployed masses ot tho North. Dur Ku i I road-An Infamous Proposition A writer in the CHAELESTO ? NEWS, over thc .igniture ol Tax-payer, under a hypocritical pretence, (as it seems to us,) of promoting thc interest of thc State, urges thc compulsory ?a!t of several railroads, among them the Grreenrille ai d Columbia Road. Hie latter road under good management is now doing remarkably well, and has comm on ced to pay off inte est on the Stale guaranteed bonds. i.'et this writer would loree it salo to damage a I rgO mun ber of bondholders-millions lu thc ag? gregate-fur no other parp?se, we verily believe, than that of plundering the unfortunate and lo enable some designing and heartless capi? talists and speculators to seize tho road for their own miserly purposes ol greed. It is very probable if the Greenville road was forced to sale, that thc Town of Greenville would actu? ally be deprived of it altogether, as the purely selfish spirits who wouid be active in forcing the sacrifice might conclude it would bo a saving of a few dollars, to shorten Ibo road, no telling how much. We are satisfied that there are some men, and capitalists too, so utterly selfish that they would, to iidd ono bundera dollars to their tens of thousands of income, shorten the road dowe to Frog Level. Tho writer in thc NEWS appeals to thc Legislature to aid his-schemes by suitable acts. We do not believe that the Legislature, if it has thc power, is inclined to respond to such a vile proposition, endangering heavy loss io thc Stale itself, aid smashing ruin io many citizens, totally uncalled tot.-Greenville Enterprise. TUE TROUBLES BELOW SAVANNAH. The Negroes on the Ggeechec Reinforced and Compelling thc Quietly Disposed to join Them-Thc Latest News from thc S cene of the Trouble. Tho extraordmaiy condition of affairs on tho Ogeechee plantations, below Savannah, con? tinues not only without abatement, but with au excess of lawlessness and outrage that promises to make what is ah cady serious most alarming. The measures adopted for thc sup? pressing of tho outbreak seem, eo far, to have moot- sigually failed. In the meantime, the inhabitants, n.en, women and children, have all been driven fi om their homos, their houses gutted or delivered to tho Hines, and thc re? sults of tho entire year's lalor and capital of one of the wealthiest districts of tho South cither destroyed or appropriated by thc insur? rectionists. Tho following resume of th i facts of tho caso, from the Sivanuah Republican, gives a clear idea of thc origiu and character of the trouble : Disturbances of a more or less flagrant char? acter have existed in tho settlement for several months past, and for more than a year tho ne? groes, who have been permittod to hire valu? able plantations and live upon them with little, or no work, *iavo been organizing and prepar? ing for some kind of unfriendly demonstration. Rut thc beginning of tho present doubles may bc said to be tho appearance, a week or ton days ago, of an armed band at one of tho neigh? boring pl -mations, the tiring upon thc senti? nels, the driving off of the residents, and the forcible removal of tho crop, consisting of some twenty-fivo hundred bushels of rice. A num? ber of these despcrodoos could be identified, and upon information filed, warrants were duly issued and placed in thc hands of the sheriff o"f ino county for their arrest. The sheriff, with a small posse and a guide or two, visited the ' plantations and arrested a small party and marched them to No. 1 Atlantic and Gulf Rail? road for tho purpose of taking the tram and bringing his prisoners to tho city. They wero not long at the placo before several hundred armed negroes appeared, rescued the prison? ers, and with muskets pointed at the officers of tho law, took away their arms, money, pa? pers, Sic, ?fcc, and with a threat against thoir Uves if they ever returned, order? ed them to leavo on foot. Every manner of indignity, except personal violence, was oflercd the sheriff and his party. They were told that no legal processes should besctved in their neighborhood, that they had posses? sion of the country and a government of tDeir own, nnd no white man or officer of the State should molest them with impunity. Thc or? ganization, it is said, nu mb sra from eight hun? dred toa thousand-perhaps even greater and all aro thoroughly armed and provided with ammunition. Thoy have officers of every grade, and means of intercommunication that are almost equal to the facilities ot a regular signal corps. Thc original attack on thc plan? tation and carrying off the crop was a small affair, and has become merged in a gene? ral outbreak and thc appearance of hundreds ot armed negroes in tho field ready for action. The outbreak is of a magnitude which the law never contemplated should be subdued by a sheriff and his posse, or any other civil means, and our constitution empowers tho Governor to call ont thc militia in order to suppress them. Private citizens, unorganized and poorly armed, can uovcr effect the object excoDl at a serious sacrifice. But the F?deral Government has deprived us of tho militia, and upon tho rogular army now rests tho duty of our protection, whatever General Moade 01 others may think of it. THE LATEST REPOSTS. From thc Savannah papers of yesterday, which reached us last night, wc gleau tho fol? lowing details ot the latest aspects of thc dis? turbance: -?* The latest news which wo have from tho ?ceiic of the trouble represonts it as spreading, ind that the negroes, hy threats and intimi? dations, aro forcing t hose who are disposed to remain peaceable 'o join thom. So far their operations aro confined to the "neck," wesc of the railroad, and between thc two Ogeechee Rivers; but if not speedily checked it is toared that it will extend into Bryan County. The negroes, in strong force and thoroughly armed, nrere lying near the railroad, watching tho movements of and prepared to resist tho Sher? iff's posse which went down on Weduesday. When tho train move! off, he says, somo six or seven hundred negroes came outon the railroad, in 1 tho leaders went about cursing and savin? : "Thc whito-were afraid to como md attack us, and have gone back for more men/' He says thal th ero is a very large force of thc negroes at No. 1, and that they arc de? termined to resist any attempt to arrest thom. The negroes from the Augusta road were cross? ing to tlie Ogcocheo in largo namban yester? day and joining tho insurrectionary bonds. ? countryman from Liberty County arrived here yesterday with produce to sell." Ho re? ports that the negroes have destroyed the bridge over tho Little Ogecchee River, four miles this side of Chapman's house. He was stopped by five different picket parties, each ?ang numbering eight orton mon. They toid him to toll the whito min of Savannah to come ou, that they wero ready for them. After questioning this man, they finally allowed him 11 come on to tho .:ity, telling him not to :omo back ag lin or they ? ould kill him. On Wednesday, the rioters took John Hogan (colored), ono of Mr. Middleton's watchmen, and the man who gave shelter to O'Donald ind the wives and children of thc white men who were beaton and driven from Southfield, and lcd him off. The la-it see:: of him ho was being driven in thc direction of the railroad track, at tho point of tho bayonet, by a gang of tho negroes. Nothing has beeu heard of him since, and it was not known whether ho was murdered or driven off. '1 ho negroes have sacked the barns and mills pud carried off the rice. It appears that they have been urged to their present cotirso of action bv parties who have mado them bolievc that they had been assured by Radical negroes in Washington that if the negroes once captured and held thc xmnlry, they would be confirmed in posses? sion ot it. Mrs. Caulker and her family, who resido on the Ogeechco, arrived in toe city yesterday, having been dtivon from their home, without a ohange of clothing, by an armed gang of ne? groes. They completely sacked ihe premises, lad tho family are now here in a destitute con? dition. A gentleman who resides at Station 1? arrlv sd m tho city by tho evening train, who iu lorms us that at no limo during the day was there more than thirty negroes a; that station, und that not one of these was armed. He re? ports that tho negroes in Bryan Comity have tims far behaved exceedingly well, aud that when ho left all was quiet on that side of the river. Thc indications of troublo, however,were of such a character as to induce him to remove tho ladies ot his family to ttiis city. It was evident that the class of negroes who have been tampered with and brought under the in [luence of tho organizers ot what nre called thc loyal leagues were passing over the river, with arms in their hands, to join ihe robbers residing on this side of. thc river, and that yes? terday, the only while man left on the planta Lions'under tlie control and management of Messrs. Middleton and Tucker was driven from Ihe Prairie plantation aud arrived in Bryan County without his shoes. Ho reported that : arge number of armed negroes made ?heir appearance there with wagons and carts, tor tho purpose ot carrying away thc rice, and that ho was couip3lled io leave ti? save his lifo. Thus it would appear that thc hst bushel of rice has been stolen from theso enterprising and extrusive planters. All thc fiefs which have como to our knowl? edge go lo provo that tho negroes aro using every means in their power to concentrate a strong foi ce in tho \iciuity of the plantations occ ipied by alssers. Middleton and fucker, tor Ihopurposo of resisting the execution of the laxvs and enabling themselves to live by plun? dering thc plantations of those who arc en? deavoring lo live by honest labor. WADE HAMPTON AND TUE SOUTH CAHOLINA RAILIIOAD.-The Republican of Saturday says : '*A persistent effort is being made by the ar? dent friends of Wade Hampton to supplant Mr. Magrath, the President ol the South Carolina Railroad, and elect the "idol" in his place. His friends aro determined to honor him and re ward him for doing bravery whi.e they deem to havo been his duty. We do not object to their partiality. Ur. Hampton bas many ad? mirable qualities which endear him to friends. He was something of a soldier and naturally beloved of the devotees of thc ' 'lost cause.'" Wo clo not rind fault with this. Wo ara told, however, that Mr. Hampton possesses no bus i ness qualifications at all, and wo believo it. Ho will wm no honor as President of that road. Ho will moro likely achieve disgrace by putting tho road in two years in the hands of a receiver. Let the admirers of the popular General take some saler and better method of .lemonstrat iuc: their regard. However, until the South Carolina Railroad better subserves tho inter? ests of our business men, and of all our people, we prefer that it should not prosper." Pi OM SELMA TO LIYEMOOL.-Wo were glad to note on Monday, the presence of a live Liv? erpool buyer in this market, and to learn that ho was pleased with the quality of cotton com? ing in. He bought several "hundred balos, which are to go direct to Liverpool. [Selma Ttmct, December 30. McLATN-KENNEDY.-On Sunday evening, De? cember 27 th, by tho Be v. D. J. QOTOLIT, Mr. GEO.
