VIRGINIA. EFFORTS AT RECONSTRUCTION-A CONVENTION TO BE CALLED- TWENT?-8IX THOUSAND DOL? LARS DEFALCATION. RICHMOND, January 2.-For two days paBt a conference of eomo of tho loading men in tho Stato has been in session, attended by Hon. A. II. H. Stewart, ot Staunton; Hon. Thos. JFlournoy, forinorly Whig candidate for Gov? ernor; John L. Maryo, Jr., present Conserva? tivo candidate for Attorney; Wyndham Robert? son, formerly Whig, acting Governor of tho State; Geo. W. Bolling, Jas. F. Johnson, for? mer Whig Sonalor; Frank G. Ruffiu, General John Echols, W. T. Sutherland and others. Last night, after midnight, they agreed on a preamble and resolutions, which set forth that whilo the pooplo of Virginia do not behove that tho negroes, in their uneducated condi? tion, aro as yet fit for suffrage, yet, in view of tho expression of public opinion in tho recont national election, and in rostoring harmony and union, they aro willing to accept universal suffrage, coupled with universal amnesty. A committej of nine was appointed to visit Washington and iu*go Congress to legislate so as to secure these to the people of tho State. Tho committee is composed of A. H. H. Stowart, Wyndham E. Robertson, J. B. Baldwin, Jarnos I\cc8on, W. T. Sutherland, J. L. Maryo, Jr., J. F. Slaughter, J. F. Johnson and W. L. Owen. A resolution was adopted recommending tho people of tho State to hold a convention on Fobruary 10th, in Richmond, to receive tho report of tho committee and arrange for tho canvass. This conference is the result of a movemont on the part of the "Do Somethings," as dis? tinguished from the "Do Nothings." The for? mer desiring to make BOLUC advance towards nico ting tho Reconstruction acts, and to avert? ing the disabilities, test oaths, &c, of tho new constitution; and the latter believing that tho 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 tho Dunville (Va.) District, was brought hero to-night, charged with defraud? ing the revenue by not accounting for $26,000 received by him. He was bonded in $10,000 to answer. CONDENSED TELEGRAMS. Tho steamboat A. J. Brown collided with the Bremen stoamshp Teutonia, between New Or? leans and the mouth of the Mississippi, on Wednesday, and soon turned bottom up. ' The books, papers, money and everybody on board were saved. Tho Teutonia was uninjured and passed on. A dispatch from Jefferson, Texas, reports the arrest by the military of Colonel R. P. Crump, Dr. Marshall, B. T. Thompson, R V. McGill, ex-Chief of Police, and two freedmen; charges not kuown." Many others are said to be spotted for arrest. Generals Babcock and Porter, of General Grant's staff, are in New Orleans.

Tho Union car factory at Alsany, New York, was crushed by the weight cf the snow on the 2d instant. At a shooting match at Toronto, Canada, on New Year's day, Giles, a famous rifleman, was accidentally shot and killed. There wa* a furious storm in the neighbor? hood of Springfield, Mass., on the 21 instant, and the railroad trains were obstructed. William Frazier and H. S. Quackenbush, the President and Secretary of the American Agri? cultural and Mineral Land Company, have been arrested and held to bail in the sum of $25,000, for false representations concerning 8,000,000 acres of land in North Carolina. THE RAILROAD QUESTION. TO TUE EDITOB OF I HE NEWS. We have read with some surprise an article which appeared in your paper of the 28th ult., oa "The State and our Railroad System," feign? ed "Tax-payer." The writer sets out with tho complaint that the State and the City of Charleston have in ctured at least one-half of their debt by sub? sections to railroads. It might weil be ques? tioned whether tho State or tho City of Charles? ton oould have conferred a greater benefit upon its citizens than they hav? done by their wiso and liberal policy towards railroads, and wo shall certainly not attempt to re-write the epi? taphs of those departed worthies who have left us this legacy. There may have been misman? agement; there will always be discontent with any management; but this arises perhaps oftener from tho constitutional i nih mi ty of the grumbler than from any fault of the railroad or its managers. It has been the history of too many large and meritorious enterprises at the South, both public and private, to struggle through years of toil and anxiety, only to be sacrificed at last to some nu worthy prejudice. It is scarcely a valid obieouou to an institu? tion or corporation, good otherwise in itself, that its bonds were bought during the ?var with Confederate money; but this, so far as tbs interest of the wiiter in this road is con corned, is not the case. Some of us at least in? vested in those bonds when the road was first commenced, and we did it conscientiously, to aid an eu tei prise which we believed would con? fer benefit both upon the city and the State, and we protest against being sacrificed to ap? pease the pique or prejudice ot any one. The editorials of i HE NEWS, on the subject of the Savannah and Charleston Railroad, have not been answered, and if the majority of tho Legislature can and will take the trouble to read them, they will see, what Tax-payer has failed to see, that the aid solicited for tho coxn ?lotion of this road from tho Legislature is not ) increase the liability of the State either di? rect or contingent, but to enable the company te complete the road,and thereby confer a vast? ly increased value npon a security now in a most unsatisfactory ooudltion. We know very little of the plans or purposes of the Board of Directors of the Savannah and Charleston Rail? road Company, but we are inclined to think that Northern capital will not bo intimidated or discouraged by the course thoy wilLpuraue, if their memorial is granted by the Legisla? ture; indeed it has been intimated to us that thero are parlies who will readily undertake the completion of the road to the advantage of the State, to tho best interests of the city, to the great convenience of the travelling com? munity, and to the infinite satisfaction of those whose money helped to build the road. ENTERPRISE. . i ii? i a A MISTAKEN Lp EA CORRECTED.-Mrs. Wm. R. Remels, of Middlebury, Vt., under date of July 7, I860, writes : "I wish to speak a word tor ?eur machino. Before using it, I was strongly inpressed with the idea that a 'double-thread? ed' machine must be superior; but, after hav? ing used your machine two and a half years, I am prepared to say that-I would not exohange the Willcox Sc Gibbs for any .double-threaded' machine I have ever seen.*' -Ur.

Grant vs. Johnson-Tit lor Tat-Outside Inauguration or Inside Inaugural-La con! nu of Granl. From tho Waphington corresponcenco of tho Baltimore papers we take the following : A partial ostitnate of tho great number of people who will bo hero to wltnoss General Grant's inauguration may bo formed whon it is stated that overy room" in ono of tho largest hotels has boori already engaged, and tho pro? prietors wero compelled to refuse at least two hundred other applicants. In noticing tho other day tho litt'o personal .'unpleasantness" between the outgoing and in? coming Pr?sidents, I took occasion to depre? cate the unsoldier-like dodge of General Grant in shirking a visit, to Mr. Johnson on Now Year's day by an ignominious flight to Phila? delphia. This has given rise to the sug.^eia tiou that another difficulty is ahead; that upon .inauguration da>" it has been customary for tho Setting Sun to attend tho Bisin t in his triumphant course to tho Capitol, and that it may not be agreeable lo the latter luminary to permit his effulgence to bo eclipso .1 by the su? perior splendor ot tho former. I apprcheud no difficulty ou this score. Mr. Johnson will scarcely, after what has occurred, com? mence negotiations upon this delicate and gravo point. Mr. Adams put on a stiff upper lip on the 4th of March, 1829, and did not at? tend (nor did he offer to attend) the ceremonies of Jackson's inauguration. Doubtless there have beeu othsr parallel cases .in om history. But besides all this, L learn that General Grant has 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." Ho will therefore ba sworn in, together with the Vicc-President, in the Senate Chamber, without any parade. President Johnson's presence can therefore bo very well dispensed with. A principal reason for this chango of base is that the coming man is "no orator, as Brutus is." His speech prefatory to kissing tho calf-skin, it is thought, will be exceedingly brief, not bigger than a puce of chalk, of suffi? cient dimensions, however, for marking down certain Important and profound political max? ims, snob, as "Let us have Peace I" "PH'fight it out on this line if it takes me all summer 1" "Congress knows more about these matters than I do m.vBolf." "I have not given them a thought." "I have seen the horse Dexter fre? quently, and think -the likeness perfect." lt would be manifestly outside the pale of deco? rum to assemble hundreds of thousands of cagur spectators in front of tho eastern portico ol' the Capitol, and dismiss them thus abruptly. The inside track is, therefore, indispensable, where tho President eleot may, as succinctly as he chooses, announce bis line of m;"i ch, and leave elucidation and embellishment to Marcus Schuyler Brutus Colfax, wno ia really an orator of nature's own making. THE POSITION OE THE SOUTH. A Plain and Forcible Statement of tbe Financial Advantages of tbe Southern States, Tho Washington correspondent of the Now York Express writes: Letters from the West state that tho strin? gency in commercial-circles there is greater than it has been since 1857-that the country is over-stocked with goods, and that th 9 farm? ers refuse to send thoir grain to market in con? sequence of tho declino in prices since 1807. At the South the aspect is moro 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 of large amounts for tobacco in Virginia, North Carolina, Maryland, Missouri and Kentucky, and fer wheat and corn in the same States and in Georgia and Tennessee. The whole value of the surplus crops of the South this yoav cannot be less than $300 000,000, of which probably $100.000,000 aro paid to the'negroes " m tho sha po of wages, and $50,000,000 more in the shape of lood. Another year of equal prosperity would put the South in a comparatively sound condition, although, of course, there are and must be for many years numerous cases of individual suf? fering-as ot persons in advanced life, totally ruined by the war, their houses and furniture destroyed, and all thoir investments of money completely worthless. When wo consider that the accumulated savings of two hundred years have been destroyed at tho South, we cannot cease to wonder that her recuperation should bo as rapid as it is. Or the immense importation of foreign goods, cloths, silks, velvets, laces, jewelry, wines and other costly merchandise, tho South now takes comparatively little. Her consump? tion is mainly confined to tho necessaries of life, and will be for some years. Hence her recovery from losses will bo more rapid. . The Southern people, with few exceptions, never were a luxarious people, in the sonsa that the New Yorkers ana Parisians are. They cher? ished for the most part the homely virtues of their ancestors, and lived well upon the pro? duce of their Heids, their forests and their rivers- content with roomy houses, wood-Arcs and old-fashioned furniture. Hence, in their present depressed condition, they are more contented than a stranger would suppose it possible for them to be. Wo hoar of few sui? cides there, and tho number of insane persons in Virginia is OTJW half the number iu Maine, regard being hacRo population. In its best days there was very little money in circulation in the South. Now there is still less. In tho commercial panic which seems to be approaching, the South w.ll therefore suff.r less than tho North from any contraction of the currenoy that may precede the restoration to prosperity. In the South there are no real estate speculations, evon in the environs of tho cities; no artificial values given to tovra-lots or embryo Palmyras or Babylons. Fe?lma lenle is eminently the rule there, so far as real estate is concerned. They aro not a gregarious peo? ple, but love elbow-room above everything. Cities they regard as necessary evils, and as such not to bo encouraged unduly beyond mod? erate dimensions. For tho greater the city the greater tho evil. It is very evident that business at the North is overdone: that there are too many non producers there, too many merchants, too many traders, too many agents, too many law? yers, too many doctois, too many persons, in short, who stand morely as intermediaries be? tween the producer and the consumer. One of the New York journals estimates that there are two hundred thousand people out of work within sight of the spiro of Trinity Church. Within an equal distance of the State House at Boston there are doubtless fifty thousand more, and another fifty thousand in the interior of New England. Most of these unfortunate persons are anxious tor employment, but cannot obtain it. Even the high tariff, which so eo riches the great manufacturers, does not put a morsel of bread or an ounce of meat into their mouths. What visible outlet to all this surplus labor is afforded, unless at the South? The* West, for the present, is pretty well filled ap with la? borers of all descriptions, and thousands there aruout of work. The South, then, is tho only vacant field easily accessible on this continent for the unemployed masses of tho North. Our Railroad-An Infamous Proposition A writer in tho CHARIEST o * NEWS, over the signature ot Tax-payer, under a hypocritical ?>retence, (as it seems to us,) of promoting the nterest of the State, urges the compulsory sale of several railroads, among them the Greenville and Columbia Boad. The latter road under good management is now doing remarkably well, and hos commenced to pay off interest on the State guaranteed bonds. Yet this writer would force a sale to damage a large number .of bondholders-millions in the ag? gregate- -for no other purpose, we verily believe, than that of plundering the unfortunate ana to enable soma designing and heartless capi? talists and sp?cul?t ors to seize the road for their own miserly purposes of greed. It is very probable if tho Greenville road was forced to sale, that the Town of Greenville would actu? ally be deprived of it altogether, os the purely selfish spirits who would be aotive in forcing the sacrifice might conclude it would be a saving of a few dollars, to shorten the road, no telling how much. We are satisfied that there oro some-men, and capitaliste too/eo utterly selfish that they would, to add one hnnderd dollars to their tens of thousands of income, shorten the road dow? to Frog Level. The writer in the NEWS' appeals to the Legislature to aid his schemes by suitable act*,. We do not believe that the Legislature, if it has the power, in inclined to respond to such a vile proposition, endangering heavy loee io the State itself, and smashing ruin to many citizens, to te? y tinea! lcd fer.

Tino Negroes on the ttgcccltao Kclntbrcccl and Compelling the <iul -My IJispescd to join Them-The "Lntct.t Newe fro?* the Scene ot* the Trouule* Tho extraordinoiy condition ff affairs on thc Ogocchoo plantations, below ??avannah, con? tinues not only without abatb.uont, but with an excess of lawlessness an<% outrace that promises to make what is ah oa' .v serious most alarming. Tho measures adop.|d for tho sup? pressing of the outbreak scout? so far, to have most signally failed. In tho meantime, tho inhabitants, non, women amt children, have all been driven fiorn their houwfl, (heir houses guttod or delivered lo tho flares, and the re? sults of tho outiro year's labc-i: and capital of ono of tho wealthiest district of the South either dostroyed or appropriated by tho insur? rectionists. Tho following rt'8i'.m<s of tin facts of tho case, from the Savannah Republican, gives a clear idea of Ibo origin and character of tho troublo : Disturbances of a moro or lops flagrant char? acter havo existed in tho settlement for several months past, and for more tim -i a year tho ne? groes, who have boen permitted to biro valu? able plantations and live upon^bcm with little or no work, have beon organizing and prepar? ing for some kind of unfriendly' demonstration. But tho beginning of tho present tioublcs may bo said to be the appearance, a week or ten days ago, of an armed band at one of the neigh? boring plantations, tho firing upon tho senti? nels, the driving off of tho residonts, and tho foroibio removal of the crop, consisting of some twenty-fiv3 hundred bushels of rico. A num? ber of those desperado3s could be identified, and upon information filed, wo/rants were duly issued and placed in t ho hand . of the sheriff of tho county for their arrest. The sheriff, with a small posse and a guide or two, visited the plantations and arrested u Kuall party and marched them to Mo. 1 Atlantic and Gal" Bail road for the purpose of taking thc train and bringing his prisoners to tho cit}'. They were not long at the placo bet?re several hundred armed negroes appeared, respned. the prison? ers, and with muekets pointed afc tho officers of tho law, took away their ardis, money, pa? pers, Sec., &c, and with n threat against thoir lives if they ever returned, order? ed them to loa vc on foot. Every manner of indignity, except personal! violence, was offered the sheriff and his party They were told that no legal processes should bo served in their neighbor hood, that they had posses? sion of tho country and a goY&rnment of their own, and no whito man or officer of tho State should molest them. with impunity. Tho or? ganization, it is said, iminbar? from eight hun? dred to a thousand-perhaps oren groator and all aro thoroughly armed and provided with ammunition. They have officers of every erade, and means of intercommunication that are almost equal to the lac i lil i os ol a regular signal corps. The original atinek on the plan? tation and carrying off the crop was a small affair, and hos become niorged in a gene? ral outbreak and tho appearance of hundreds ol armed negroes in the field ready for actio?. The outbreak is of a magnitude which the, law never contemplated should! be subdued by' a sheriff and bia posse, or ?ny other civil means, and our constitution empowers the Governor to call oat the militia in order to suppress them. Private citizens, unorganized and poorly armed, eau nev?r?ffect the object except at a serious sacrifice. But the Federal Government has deprived ti* of tho militia, and upon the regular army now rests tho duty of our protection, whatever G-sneral Meade ox others may think of it. I.. THE LATEST RETORTS. From the Savannah pap&& of yesterday, which reached us last night,*: wig glean the fol? lowing details ot the ti^of. iha^ilia^ turbaned Tho latest news which we have from the scene of the trouble represents it as spreading, and that the negroes, by threats and intimi? dations, are forcing those who are disposed to remain peaceable toioin them. So far their operations are confined to the "neck," wosc of the railroad, and between the two Ogecchoe Rivers; but if not speedily cheeked it is feared that it will extend into Bryan County. The negroes, in strong force ?nd thoroughly armed, were lying near the railroad, watching the movements of and prepared to resist the Sher? iff's posse which went down on Wednesday. Wheo the train move J off, he says, some six or seven hundred negroes came out on the railroad, anl tho leaders went about oursing and saying : "The white-were afraid to come and attack us, and have gone back for more men." He says that there is a very large force | of the nogroes at No? 1, and that thoy are de? termined to resist any attempt to arrest them. The negroes from tbe Augusta road wero cross? ing to the Ogeeohee ia large numbers yester? day and joining the insurrectionary bands. A countryman from Liberty County arrived here yesterday with produce to sell. He re Eorts that tue negroes have destroyed the ridge over the Little Ogoechee River, four miles this side of Chapman's house. He was stopped by five different picket parties, each gang numbering eight orten men. They told him to tell the white mon of Savannah to come on, that they wero ready for them. After questioning this man, they finally allowed him to come on to the city, telling him not to come baok again or they would kill him. On Wednesday, the rioters took John Hogan (colored), one ot Mr. Middleton's watchmen, and the mau who gave shelter to O'Donala and tho wives and children of the white men who were beaten and driven from Southfield, and led him off. The last seeu of him he was being driven in the direction cf the railroad track, at the point of the bayonet, by-a gang* .f tho negroes. Nothing has been heard of him since, and it was not known whether h? | was murdered or driven off. 1 he negroes havo eackod the barns sud mills ?nd carried off the rico. It appears that they have been urged to their present course of action by parties who have made them believe that they had been assured by Radical negroes in Washington that if the negroes once captured' and held ike country, they would be confirmed in posses? sion ot it. Mrs. Caulker and her family, who reside on the Ogeeohee, arrived in the city yesterday, having been driven from their home, without s change of clothing, by an armed gang of ne? groes. They completely sacked the premises, and the family are now here in a destitute con? ditio?. A-gentleman who rosides at Station lg arriv? ed in the eity by tho evening train,, who in? forms us that at no time during the day was there mere than thirty negraea at that station, and that not one of these was armed. Ho re? ports that the negroes in Bryan County have thus far behaved exceedingly well, and that when he left all waa quiet on that side of the river. The indications of trouble, however, were of such a character as to induce him to remove the ladies ot his family ta this oity. It was evident that the class of negroes who have been tampered with and bronght under the in? fluence of the organizers of what are called the loyal leagues were passing over the river, with arma in their hands, to join tho robbers residing on this side of the river, and that yes? terday, the only white man lof ton the planta? tions funder the control and management of Messrs. Middleton and Tuoker was driven from the Prairie plantation and arrived in Bryan County without bis shoes. He reported that a large number of armed negroes made their appearance lhere with wagons and carts, for the purpose of carrying away the rico, and that he was compelled to leave to save bis lifo. Thus it would appear that tho last bushel of rice hm, been stolen from these enterprising and extensive planters. All the facts which have coma to our knowl? edge go to prove that the negroes are using every moans io their power to cono en trato a strong force in tho vicinity of the plantations occupied by Messrs. Middleton and Tucker, for the purpose of resisting the execution of the Ia ?vs and enabling themselves to live by plun? dering tbe plantations of those who are en? deavoring to live by honest labor. WADS HAMPTON AND TH? SOUTH CAROLINA RAILROAD. -Th ?
