3Py Telegraph.. From Washington. WASHTNOTON, August 29.-Col. J. S. Mosby left Alexandria on Thursday evening for his home in Warrenton, there to remain until the further or? ders of the War Department. Such -was the excited feeling against him on the part of citizens and soldiers that his life was in danger while he remain? ed in Alexandria, several persons whom he had deeply wronged during the war having armed themselves to kill him. Among the latest arrivals of South? erners in quest of parions, is Fayette McMullen, one of the fiercest seces? sionists, but now claims some merit for belonging to th? reactionary party against Jefferson Davis. McMullen was formerly a member of thc United States House of Representatives, and was afterward in the rebel Congress. The Postmaster-General is gradually extending the postal service South? ward from Richmond, having just concluded contracts for the convey? ance of the mails from that city to Petersburg, and from Petersburg to Weldon, N. C., twice a day. The en? tire distauce is ninety miles. Cotton and Cr I rn? In Louisiana and Texas. NEW OBI.EA.XS, August 12.-All re? ports to the contrary, I am able to state that the dreaded army or cotton worm has not appeared in this State to do serious harm to the coming crop. The cotton never looked finer or was more abundant. Cotton pack? ing has already commenced in every portion of the State. If the worm I keeps out another week, the whole crop will be saved. In Texar, the worm has undoubted? ly appeared in Wharton County, where it lias destroyed thousands of acres. There is an apparent increase of crime in this region. A few days ago, a Mrs. Warren and one of her two children were murdered with an axe, in a most brutal manner, by two dis? charged soldiers, named respectively Ross and Rodgers, who belonged to the ls't Texas Cavalry. More recently, a rann named John Sheenan, residing at the Lake, w hile riding home in his wagon, was met by two colored sol? diers on the New Shell Road, between the Common Street Bridge and the Half-Way House. One of the ne? groes jumped on the wagon and dealt him several blows on the head with a club, and then threw him on the ground. They then dragged him into the bushes and robbed him of Si 19 in greenbacks, and then drove off in his wagon, leaving him for dead. Yesterday, a cabman reported that while driving his cab on the Green? ville Road at dawn, two men, armed with clubs, stopped his, cab and looked inside, but, finding it unoccupied, ' allowed it to go on. Three other men, also armed with dubs, were a short distance from the other*. A negro murdered his wife near Thibodeaux, on Monday night bust, and then threw her into the bayou Lafourche. When he was arrested the next day, he was living with another woman. Ou'the "Butler" plantation, recent? ly, the overseer was murdered by a negro. I have mentioned three or four cases only. I could give you fifty such during the past three or four weeks. "ABAXDOXED LAXOS."-The follow? ing extract from a recent circular of the Freedmen's Bureau explain this term: ..AU land or other property within the several insurrectionary States, viz: Virginia, North Caaolina, South Caro? lina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Kentucky, Tennessee, | Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, and I Texas, to which the United States have, or shall have, acquired title by confiscation or sale, or otherwise, during the late rebebeUion, and all abandoned lands or other abandoned property in these States, become so by tiie construction of section third, Act approved July 3, 1864, viz: "Property, real or personal, shall be regarded as abandoned when the law? ful owner thereof shall be voluntarily absent therefrom, and engage either in arms or otherwise in aiding or encouraging the rebellion," and which remains unsold or otherwise disposed of, a^e, and shall be considered as under the control of the commissioner of the Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen? and Abandoned Lands, for the pur? poses hereinbefore set forth, and for the time authorized by the act estab? lishing the bureau, and no part or parcel of said confiscated or abandon? ed property shall be surrendered or restored, to the former owners thereof, or other claimants thereto, except such surrender or restoration be authorized by said commissioner. COLUMBIA, AUGUST 28, 1865. To the Editor of the Phoenix: I learn that during my absence from home I have been nominated as a candidate for a seat in the Conven tk 1 of the people of this State. While I appreciate the kind motives of the party who done BO, I am constrained by the following reasons to decline the no? mination. My opinions of the character of our Government, in my humble judgment, differ with a large majority of my fellow citizens-they believing in the right of a State to exercise a supreme national autho? rity, evan to the extent of dissolving the Government of the United States by the right of tho States to secede, leaving the duration of the future existence of the Go? vernment a matter of uncertainty; while I believe the character of the Government is intended for perpetual existence, with pow? ers delegated by the States to effect that end. The following extracts from the Constitu? tion is a small part of the many reasons satisfying me of the correctness of my opi? nions: By the first article, eighth section, Con? gress appears to have been given, by the States, all the material powers of national Government. And the sixth article, second section, reads thus: "This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall bc made in pursuance thereof, and all treaties made, or which shall be mad", under the authority of the United States, mall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any? thing in the Constitution Or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding." Thus, it would seem, that if elected, I must misrepresent my own opinions, or those of a majority of my constituents. I, therefore, feel bound to d?chue the nomina? tion. Respectfully, aug 29 1 JOHN CALDWELL. Strayed, I?"?BOM near the Charlotte Depot, on . Thursday last, a dark tan-colored COW, with a remarkably short tail.
