ATTITUDE OV THE LOUDS OK TUX IBI8H CHU BOH QUESTION- C O MMEOTB OF THE PRESS, ?DOW, J urne a-In reply to a Conservative deputation to-day, Lord Derby said be spoke aa a ania in the House of Lords, notwit hstand ig the influence or action of others. While many ft ianda of the Irish Church wish to amend, not to reject)the bill for its distetat lisbment, he waa persuaded its rejection was the only course. He desired that it would be rejected by a large majority, as such course was the safest in such a revolutionary step. He felt satisfied ihia would receive the assent of trio Conservatives, who would continue to increase their support if coerci?n of the trees was-attempted. A meeting of the Conservatives was held in Loudon to-night. Besolutious ware adopted condemning the Irish Church bill. It-la understood that Mr. Gladstone proposes, in case the House of Lords should reject the bill, to prorogue the present session of Parlia? ment immediately, and inaugurate a new gobern?, in order to ensure the passage of the bill. R is proposed to create a new batch of Peers, including the Marquis of Huntingdon, Lord Amberly, the eldest sous of mos? of the ^ Liberal Peers, and all the Scotch and Irish ?L Peers now without seats io the House of ?Lord*. ? Ilia Pall Mall Gazette i egrets the bad effect f the position of the House of Lords will have on Ir aland, particularly in regard to the land question. To rule, in deriding what the sense of the nation shall or shall not decide upon, is beyond the competence of Lords or any other governing body. The annoniiced predetermination of the ma-| jori ty of the House of Lords to reject the Irish Ch arch bill has ca used intense excitement, and threatens to precipitate an eventually inevita? ble conflict between the Lords and toe Com? mons. It is rumored in so mo quarters that the annoanceinent was only madero feel the public pulse, and to ascertain, how far the House of Lords dar?, go. The Ti-nee to-day refers to the ?aot that some of the Tory Peers declined to follow the 'j policy in regard to the Irish Church bill deter 4 mined upon by the majority at their mee tir g Ilast Saturday, sod trusts that the danger of a collision ia past. Experience of the last two days ranima the truth that io the direct issue th? Lords must allow the national will to pre? vail. The pteaant aspect indicates the pas? sage of the bill to its second reading by ? small majority. Ihe.aame paper, in an article on the French eleoticrns, points to the fact that three and a half millions of Frenchmen arr votinj-rja opposition to only four millions who support Ihe government. : The Telegraph referred to the attitude of Of the House of Lords, and says the nation only moat govern the nation. To thia Lord Darby and other peers assented when last jaar they invited the j udgment of the nation on the Suspensory bil). The pews now may well ac . ce pt the jnxisd-ct ion to which they appealed.

His Views on the Rejection o? the Ala? bama Treaty-lu fleet ot* Air? Sumner's ?.peech on the KngUsh Ministry and People. A correspondent of the New York Times gives an account of a professed interview with the Bon.Beverdy Johnson, late United States Minister to England, at bis country residence, near Baltimore, a few days 8 go. A portion of the conversation between Mr, Johnson and the correspondent is thus related by the latter : "How is Mr. Sumner?" then said Mr. John? son. * * . * * "Mr. Sumner ie in Wash? ington," I replied, "and reels extremely -well battened with his speech." :. "Well," replied Mr. Johnson, "Ido not know that any one else is satisfied witb it. I tell you thar that speech of funnier has made England a unit against the 0 ni ted States. Our friends there have fallen off by ?roo pe. At first the people declared for war, but now I think they have got over Abat idea-aod w? satisfied that our intentions are pacific. The speech Saving been approved by the Senate, the Ea gl i sh people at Bret thought it was a declaration of war, and were prepared to accept it in that spirit; but they have since changed their minds, and now they have justly arrived at the conclusion that Sumner is, after all. bat one American citizen, and does not represent the views of the administration." ' For a few minutes Mr. Johnson here re? lapsed into silence, and then broke out again: "Sumner's speech is absurd t Do you know what they say of it in England ? Clarendon says that it is absurd and preposterous;"fhat it ie not the apeeoh of either a lawyer or a statesman; that it j propositions are wholly in? admissible." "Why," said Mr. Johnson, "this same Mr. Sumner wrote to Mr. Bright on the 19th or 20th of last Ja nary that the protocol which I sent here would bave been almost unanimously approved if it bad been received three weeks sooner. The fact ie, the incoming President dla not want the question settled during the administration of Andrew Johnson, and the Republican party did not want it settled by me. They did not want the eciai of hiving the most difficult question, short of the question of actual separation, that bas arisen between the two'countries, settled by a Demo? cratic administration." "Wby don't the English pipers publish Mr. Sumner ls speech?" "Wby, bcoause it is too nonsensical. Ciar- ' sudon says that the United States, as a gov? ernment, have no claims against England as a government. The United States have private individual claims against England, and Eng? land has private individual claim * against the United States. These the English people and government are willing to submit to an arbi? tration. Clarendon s iy s that England might as well say that she would reject tbe treaty be? cause the holders of Irish republican bonds might come in ander its terms. Tbe Ameri? cans whom I have met abroad denounce Mr. Sumner as much as the English people do. It is a fooub speech." Mr. Johnson was very indignant on this eub ject. He could not tolerate tbe idea of attach? ing any importance or signifie mee whatever to the ideas of the Massachusetts sena or. He started up from bis seat, and walking uo and down the room, nervously and rapidly said: " fhe English Government will never accede to tbe Sumner demands. Clarendon won't yield one ii.oh from his position. They have taken it, and cannot be shaken in their resolve. They are a very proud people, a po wei tul peo? ple and cannot be frightened.'' "What do you think of a war between Eng? land and the United States, Mr. Johnsoa? What wonld be the result of it ?" "The result would bo unfavorable to us. In the first place, our debts are equal. But there will not be and cannot be a war so long as there is any common sense left to tbe two peoples. But. to talk about it for argument's Bake: Eng? land w is never better prepared for i war than she is now, and the United States is less able to enter on a contest of tbe kind than she was during tbe rebellion. Do you remember Ad? miral Porter's letter on the subject? He is ot my opinion, or, rather, I am of bis, that we cannot fight England. Yes, they wouU give us Canada, provided the Canadian people wero Willing to be exchanged; but I do not think they are, and sooner than part with that pro? vince oa forcible terms. England would lose ber hst man and ber last shilling." CAN A STATE Aurn>r.izE THC LANDING OF TEI?EOBAPH CAHLES.-IQ teply to an inquiry from Mr. Peter Cooper.

OXFR ZETTERS FROM THE COUNTRY. FURIHER PARTICULARS CONCERNING THE CROPS AND THE LABOR. Interesting Aeeoanta from Anderson, ^-airfield, Georgetown, Urangeburg, Richland, Sumter and Williams- ; burg Counties. We continue the publication of the corres? pondence in regard to the crops, with which THE NEWS bas been favored by its friends in various sections of the State: Anderson. Our correspondent, ' XXX," kindly sends us tbe following etatemest, under date of Ander? son, June 8: Our farmors are very much discouraged as to the prospect of the growing crops. Wheat, which is now being harvested, is generally sr- all and thin, but well h led, and the product of the county will probably be a fair average one. The area planted in corn is much smaller than usual, and it is exceedingly backward and unpromising thus fur. On the other band a mucb larger quantity ol land bas been given to cotton than usual. A vast amount of commer? cial fertilizers were used, arid the anticipated product led tor a time to the enjoyment of golden dreams by almost every one. Tbey were of short duration, however, and bavo been succeeded by a most unpleasant depres? sion of spirits in contemplation of a signal failure.* The month of Hay was the most unpropiti? ous within tbe recollection of the oldest inhabi? tants, and the consequence is that the stands of cotton are not only exceedingly poor, but tbe plant made scarcely any perceptible start to grow until within the last too days, and is, therefore, three or four weeks later than it should be at this season. And besides the : other drawbacks of the season a very gene? ral Impression prevails that the immense quan? tity of rain that has fallen'recently, has in a great measure destroyed the value of the fer? tilizers applied, wbiob, with the general indo? lence, indifference and disorganization of tbe labor of the conni rs, render the prospect all together most disoonracing: ana unless the fall should turn' out unusually favorable, the cotton crop of (bis country, notwithstanding the increased quantity of land planted, must fall far short of the last. But fortunately our people, it is believed, are less embarrassed with debt than those of any other section of the State, and if they can raise the means to ?iay the enormous taxes required to run the tadical machine to which they are subjected, they may hope to live m comparative comfort, ano: Anally overcome the misfortunes visited upon them for no other reason tban that they "loved their country too well." Our friend Rotide gives os the following cheering account of the crops in Anderson, ander date of June 8: Yesterday was a sale day, and there were fewer persons in attendance from tbe country than tue "time whereof the memory of man runneth not to the contrary." Everybody, old and young, are diligently at work in the wheat, cotton and corn field*.' Tbe prospects for an average yield of wheat continues encouraging. Harvest begins this week, and from every so - tlou one hears the most gratifying accounts. Not so large a breadth of land, perhaps, sown last tall as the previous year, but there has been no disaster of any consequence sp far, and the lands are more thoroughly prepared, sud better manured. The area originally plant? ed in cotton was undoubtedly larger than last season, bul the wet. backward spring caused many farmers to plough up their cotton and plant in corn. This doubtless will give a re? sult pretty near equal to the last crop, eo far isa thfi Dunbar nf *"raa is concerned. Already some of the farmers begin to regret this action, since cotton bas rome out to a great extent during the last fortnight, under the genial influence of sunshine and showers. Tbe oom orup looks promising, and with the blessings of a benign Providence, our people need have no fear of scarcity in bread stuffs. The freedmen are industrious and well be? haved, striving earnestly to secure an honest living. Of course, there are exceptions to this general rule, and kleptomania bods a votary now and then. Tbe wbito people are energeti? cally engaged in the cultivation of the soil. With improved farming and a large investment in fertilizers, the smiles <>f Heaven are only necessary to make the farmers of this region independent of "all tbe world and the rest of mankind." Politics below par, and both races seemingly indifferent as to whether Grant runs the machine into imperialism or floats away in a cloud of smoke from the inevitable cigar. The minds of the people are engrossed m their own private pursuits, and each is striving to exoel nis neighbor in industry, perseverance and prudent management. Fairfield Under date of Juno 8, our corresponde at, G. H. McM., sends us, from Winnsboro1, the fol? lowing report: The wheat crop of Fairaeld, now being har? vested, is unusally good, but tho area sown wis not so large BS ?or the previous crop. Less corn and moro cotton has been planted this year than last. Corn is looking well, as is also cotton, which though backward in conse? quence of the enid spring, has muob improved during tbe last fortnight . Large quantities of fertilizers have been used, and the yield of cot? ton will probably be larger than lost year, un? less the season should bo au unfavorable one. Tho negroes are wonting better. There are fewer idlers to be seen, and day laborers now get one dollar instead of seventy-five cents, which from time immemorial bas been the price of a day's work of a negro man. Tbe patriotic and enlightened of our people anxiously desire an immigration of Northern mon and foreigners, not simply as laborers, but to render our proseot labor more effie?er., by competition; to protect our pig peus and corn cribs; to support schools and churches; to raise the price of our lands from S5 to $50 per acre, and to take government out of tho bauds of an inferior race and restore it to a raco whicb alone bas ever shown itself capable of self-government. Georgetown. Our correspondent, "A. M.," gives the fol? lowing account of the crops, writing from Georgetown on tho 9th instant: In this district there is but little of either corn or cotton planted; rico being tho staple, the area under corn and cotton is about equal to that of last year, though tbe growth is not quito as good, owing to so much cool weather in May and the want of sufficient ram. Plant?is report very favorably of tho rice crop this year; the stand iu general is all that coul'' be desired, ind promising an abundant harvest if not injured later in the season by freshets. Tbe area under rico in this district id equal fully to that of last year. Another im? proved feature of the present year is the ap? plication and steadiness which thu colored peo? ple manifest at their work; tho mijorityot them bavo found out that thoy need expect nothing but what a risos from their labor, and have sot to work steadily. Urangeburg. Oar correspondent, "W.," writes as follows from tho Courthouse, under date of tho Otb instant : I have boon at some pains to oseortain tho general condition of cops in my vicinity, anet to inquire of them throughout thu district. Ol' co lon tho stand is at leugttl fair, tho fields usually clo .in and w?ll worked, but tho pla t is sfinall anti stii bears marks of n jury from co.el ai'd winds. The recant lavorablu vcathei, however, has produced a very visible and cheer? ing chango. I'be an a planted is argo; great quuntities-vf guano have bern used, lhcro toro notwithstanding the very backward growth and consequent lalo lliiumng. Bcarcoly yet b.-gnti.it ia not?t al improbable that fair crops will bc m el-. I think ti ero can bo no doubt thht thc weam is ac.uaby in ?onie tiuitU but can express no opinion of .ho rcsul" ol this unprecedentedly carly appearance. Thc i com prospect is better.

The crop prospect then is not ciscouraging. Negtocs are working, as nc groes always work, jost as they are made-on some places well, on oto era badly. They are quiet and civil and vu y treatable. meilland. Our Columbia corespondent, "Corsair," sends the following report of the condition of agri. culturar"affairs in Richland on the 8th instant : 1. Condition of the crops. I think the con? dition is fair. The end of cold weather came about three weaks ago, and the tair weather, with some rains, has given good opportunity for farm work. Cotton is recovering from ita ailments that ca ne of the cold. Corn flour? ishes. Wheat fine. Oats fine. 2. Prospects of a satisfactory yield. I think the yield of cotton will be just less, but barely less, than an average one. The use of fertiliz? ers will nearly, if not quite, make up for the stint and bad stand ot the cold spring. A well informed friend writes to me: "Prospect of yield is average. Tho stand is bad general? ly, owing tb the cold spring, but siuce the weather became warm the crops are grow i off | finely, and, owing to the lavish use ot f?rtil z ers, the yield will, if the seasons are favorable, be equal to that of last year." Another friend from the upper edge of tho county says in p encrai that the prospect for a good yield i8 not good. Other farmers with whom I con? versed impress me with the idea I gave above. Corn promises an average yield. Wheat a tine yield. Oils good. When I use the word "average," as indicat? ing the yield of cotton above, I mean to say the yield to the acre will be the same as hst year, and consequently that the aggregate yield for the county will be something like twenty-five per cent, more than in 1868. 3. Area in cotton compared with that of last year. About one-fourth more than last year. All concur in this. 4. Area in corn compared with that of last year. About the same as last year. One friend says it is one-fourth leas; but all the others concur n roakiqg it the same as last year. 5. Whether the colored people are working well. As well as they did last year. My best informed correspondent says: "It takes about three times the number of free negioes to work a ciop as slaves. Some few work well, but the mass are careless and lazy, and if not closely watched do more harm than good to a cotton crop, which requires good care nod at? tention when growing." Another tells me that the men work pretty well, but that the women or "hoe bands" are not doing as well as last year. This comes from the northern part of the county. In the southern part of the county there are a good many freedmen trying to plant for themselves. This will diminish, in a very alight degree, however, the productive? ness of their labor; for all these experiments may bo safely counted as failures. Sumter. Our correspondent, C. H. Af., kindly sends us the following report from Sumter, under date of June 9: Cotton is somewhat backward. The recent warm spell has ac ed wonderfully upon the plant, and it bas almost entirely recovered from the injury received by the April and May cold. The usual complaints of planters have ceased of late, and the prosp?ct for a large crop is gocd. Corn was planted aliout as usual, but the great effort has been to put in as much cotton as possible. Freedmen working pretty well. We do not hear any complaints. Our people have used fertilizers more exten? sively than ever, and they think they can already eeo the benefit of applying them. Williamsburg. Our correspondent, "8. W," writiDg from Kicgstroe, under date of June 8, gives tho fol? lowing account ef the condition of the crops: Tbe planting ' interests in Williamsburg County are progressing as well aa can be rea? sonably expected under the circumstances. The season so far haa been very favorable, es? pecially to cotton. Thc spring has been too dry and cold/ It has-been difficult to get cot? ton up,'and someThat*baa gotten up has died from the cold nights and tho drought. The re? cent rains, however, have been of great ser? vice, and tbe prospect may now be considered at least tolerably fair. Corn ' crops aro doing very well, and although a little backward, they will compare favorably with former years. There is more of both cotton and corn planted this year than bas been since the war. The area of citton this year is proportionally greater than last year. The freedmen aro working about as usual as a general thing, though in some instances I have beard of their doing better than since their emancipation. They are beginning to learn, though slowly, that freedom does not mean idleness, and that they must work or starve. On the whole, with the present prospects, a fair season and a continuance of labor as now applied, a good and fair yield of both cotton and corn may be expected. The Kingstree Star bas the following grati? fying statement : We are pleased to learn from our planters that the prospects for a better crop is now per? ceptible. I he recent rain and warm weather have bad the effect of bting:ng up the cotton that was replanted, and of greatly improving that which withstood the cold weather of tho spring. The grain crops are looking remark? ably well, and oi the whole, wo think the chances for abountifui harvest are good. A FF A IES IN THE S TA TE. Sumter.

" I DRIFTING TO AN EMPIRE. Tne Tendency of the Times-A Remalli, able Letter from tbe Hon. Alexander H. Stephens. The Hon. A. H. Stephens bas written a loaf? and elaborate letter to. the National Intelli? gencer, giving his views as to tbe prime canse of the war between the North and the South, and closing with some speculations as to our political rutare. We copy the concluding para? graphs of the letterr'SS And now, Messrs Editois, do you ask 'V bona ? Why so much written upon the dead issues of the past, when questions of so much magnitude of a practical character press upon the public-mind ? If so, the reply is two fold. First, to vindicate the trutb of history, which is itself a high duty on the part of any 'one who has it in his power to do it; and, in the second place, to show the people of these States, in this vindication, not only the true cause, the real "causa causans" of the late war, but the real cause of their present troubles. The Federal machinery for the last ten years has been abnormal in its action. It must be brought ba:k to the Jeffersonian doctrines, and made to conform in its workings with tho or? ganic principles of its structure, before there can possibly be a return ot the days of peac?, harmony, prosperity and happiness which for? merly marked our course. There is no other hope for constitutional liberty on this conti? nent. Judge Nicholas may ''dream dreams" about another constitutional amendment, pro? viding a new mode of electing the Pmsident, but the remedy hes in no such device lis that. It lies simply in bringing back tbe government in its administration to original brat principles. This is to be done not by secession, however rightful and efficient a remedy that might be. That is abandoned. Nor is it to be done by torce or violence of any kind, except the force of reason and the power of trutb. lt is to be done, if at all, at the ballot-box. Free institu? tions are moro generally lost than estab? lished, or strengthened by a resort to phy? sical (orce. They are eminently tbe achieve? ment of virtue, patriotism 'and reason. That our insulations, and even nominal form of government is now in great danger, the prudent, sagacious, and wise everywhere virtually admit. An able editorial in your own paper, not long since, put tbe pertinent and grave question, "Whither are we drifting?" To this question I take tho occasion for one to give you a.direct and positive answer. We ara drifting to consolidation and empire, and will land there at no distant pe iod as certainly as the sun will set this day, unless the people of the several States awake to a proper appreci? ation of the danger, and save themselves from the impending catastrophe by arresting the present tondoncy ol public affairs. This they oan properly do only at the ballot-box All friends of constitutional liberty, in every sec? tion of the State, must unite in this orand effort. They must seriously consider, and even reconsider many questions to whlcb they hivo given but slight attention beretofote. They must acquaint themselves with tbe principles of their government, and provide security for ho future by studying and correcting the erre rs ot the past. This is tho only hope, as I have stated, for the continuance of even our present nominal form of government. Depend upon it, there is no difference between consolidation and em? pire 1 No difference between centralism and imperialism I The end of either, as well as all of tbe?e, is the overthrow of liberty sod tbe es? tablishment of despotism. 1 give you tho words of truth in great earnestness-words which, however received or heeded now, will be rendered eternally true by tbe developments of the future.
