Progress of Conciliation.
President Johnson has been prompt and
liberal in the exercise of the pardoning
power towards leading public men, civii
and military, in this State, and his course is
doubtless appreciated by all. The preli?
minary, work of conciliation is progressing
well, and wc hope the reconstruction policy,
at first inaugurated by thc sagacious Chief ?
Magistrate of the Union, will not be im?
peded, either by any error on his part, ol?
by any unwise action or legislation on tho
part of thc people or law-makers of the j
Soutkeru States. It should be the ? arnest 1
desire of all to bring up t lie Union to the
ancient landmarks, and although ibo past,
with ali its sufferings, with all its losses,
with all its direful consequences, cannot be
effaced from the mind, yet ns patriots, as
good citizens of the Republic, it becomes
our duty to make the best of tho present,
and to work diligently, earnestly and faith?
fully to make the future, in a national
point of view, glorious and prosperous.
And in this great work, we feel well assured
there will be no people more active or en?
ergetic than those of the Southern States.
South Carolina has, thus far, since thc
President established her provisional Go?
vernment, performed her whole duty in the
great work of reconstruction. Although de?
solated by the ravages of war, her beautiful
capital almost destroyed, her other towns
more or less damaged, her agricultural in?
terests injured and crippled to a fearful i
extent, her people in Convention assembled
have done all that in them lay to aid thc
President in the work of restoration. They
have repealed the ordinance of secession;
haye affirmed the abolition of slavery
within her limits now anil forever; they
have popularized the State Government;
and now the members of her Legislature j
have elected to the highest office-to the
most honorable position in thc councils of i
the nation-the gentleman whom President
Johnsou himself selected to guido tho j
State in her return to tho Union. It is
true, tho very large vote oatt for General
Wade Hampton, lor Governor, might seem
to militate against the position we assume
for tho people of this State, yet, when wo
consider Gen. Hampton's vast popularity, ;
his past career, the virtue and purity of his
private "life and character, no one need bc
surprised at this manifestation of thc high
estimation in which ho is held by his
feDow-citizcns. He is ono ol' nature's no?
blemen-sans puer et sans reproche. More?
over, his sincerity, his patriotism, loyalty '
and devotion to the future prosperity of his j
country, has recently been manifested, in |
the admirable letter he published, when he i
was besieged with letters and applications
to lead and found a colony of Southerners
in Brazil. Ho urged upan the applicants
to stay at home, and go to work to aid in
restoring their country to her former great?
ness and prosperity. There is no truer
patriot in the laud than Wade Hampton
The high compliment, therefore, which his
fellow-citizens have recently paid to him,
is no evidence of then disloyalty to tho
Government or opposition to tho Admin?
istration.
There is a Latin maxim which, being ren?
dered, reads: "T^ consult the welfare of
the people is tho first great law," or, in
other words, the main end of every Go?
vernment should be the well being of the
people? the eata? Mshmcnt of order and se?
curity, and the diffusion of social happiness.
To secure this end, we believe President
Johnson is laboring in good faith, and with
honesty of purpose. The desire of every
true patriot is that he may be successful,
and the man or party at tho South who
would place an obstacle in the way, as.
sumos a responsibility not at all consistent
with sound judgment or true patriotism.
It is true, that we regret that his views as
to the ultimate payment uf tho Confederate
States debts, as given in the despatch to
Governor Holden, published yesterday, are
at varianeo with oar own and that of many
other gr '.>d and loyal citizens; nevertheless,
we have still unshaken faith in the wisdom
of his general policy towards the South.
In his liberating policy, after having re?
leased Messrs. Stephens, Reagan, Tren
holm and Campbell, we trust that the Pre?
sident will continue, independent of the
censure or jeers of his enemies or political
opponents. We hope that this policy will
be pursued until the prison doors of every
political captive shall be opened, until the
great work of conciliation lie perfected, hy?
the promulgation of an amnesty that will
embraoo all within its generous provisions.
REVENTE FROM CUSTOMS.- Tiie import
trade of tho United States, for the quarter
ending October 1st, has been very largo,
amounting to $100,070,074, and yielding in
coetom duty $50,0:15,652 in gold. The g>>id
custom receipts at Xew York, from October
5 to October 7, were S?,690,916. The im
ports of silks, bonnets and such things
from Pari.,, during the last quarter, amount?
ed to over ?10,000,000 in gold.
Cotton.
We find aa interesting article in a New
York paper-thc American statesman-on
the resources of the South. This journal
says that exhausted and prostrated as the
Southern States have been by the v?-ar, the
trade which bas sprang up between them
and the city of New York, since the return
of peace, is a matter of as much surprise
as pleasure to their merchants. It is thc
cotton of the South, hidden away in Indes
and corners during thc war. thar is finding
its way to market up the Mississippi and
up the seaboard. These reserves of cotton
have been estimated at two million boles
in all; but a million and a half will proba?
bly bc nearer the aggregate in thc South
at the time of Lee's .surrender. This ag?
gregate, however, will go a great way to
put the cotton States upon then* legs again,
if disorganizing politicians can only bo i
kept from any serious intermeddling with
the practical Southern restoration policy
of President Johnson.
Thc Statesmen goes on to say that thc
question of thc most pressing and vital
importance to the country, people, Go?
vernment and Treasury, is tho speediest
possible development of the agricultural
staples of the South to aid us in settling
our commercial deficiencies, iii sustaining
thc burden of our taxations and meeting
thc obligations of our national debt. Our
financial ohbgation3 must bc mot; and
without the rich resources of thc South
wc shall bo puzzled and sorely tried to
meet them. Herein lies tho wisdom of
President Johnson's restoration policy.
"With regard to a single staple, (cotton,)
the Statesman says that in 1800. the year
just before the war, the export value of tho
cotton crop of the United States swelled up
to thc splendid figure of $'232,000.000. Now,
if the cotton States can be fully restored as
members of the Union in good standing
during thc coming winter, thc Statesman
estimates that the country will get from
tiiem next -ear as much as one-half the
cotton crop of 1SC0, which, at three times
the prices of that year under a glutted
market, will be equal to the addition of
$348,000,000 ro the substantial wealth of
the country in our commercial exports,
and this on the single article of cotton.
It remains to be seen how far the States?
man is correct in its estimates, or bow fur
the derangement in our system of labor
may effect the quantity of Southern pro?
ducts for the next few years.
Barnum Expost<l.
Thc New York prince of humbugs, which
in r. city abounding in tito article is no
empty title-who has for years, through
knavery and thc commonest showman's
trioles sold thc credulous people of both
North and South-had a scene enacted the
other evening at his "so-called"' museum
which was not announced in the show-bills
We clip the following from the New York
Round Table, of the 28th ult.-an able
literary journal, tho..,a rather radical in
its politics :
The lecturer who is employed to expatiate
to gaping audiences upon the contents of
that repository of curiosities, was notified
that after that day his services would not
be required, so he improved his last ap
?>earanco in the establishment to unbosom
dmself. He announced to his auditors
that he had practiced deceptions in his
lectures at the instance of Iiis employer.
The tiny dwarf styled General Grant, jr.,
he declared was not eighteen years of age.
but a mere baby, as they could see with
their own eyes. Furthermore, he an?
nounced that the Circassian female with the
abnormal preponderance of hair had never
been in Cucassia or iu any other country
but America, but was a native of Brooklyn,
E. D., popularly known as Williamsburg,
and that site spoke English with the same
fluency as her countrywomen. Other sub?
jects %>crc touched upon, to the great amaze?
ment of his hearers, who, if they credited
what the lecturer said, must have been
cheered by the conviction that by their
presence in the so-called museum they had
made themselves illustrations of the oft
repeated declaration that ''the fools are
not all dead y?;."'
Although of late years not many of cur
young people or our adult cariosity seekers
have had an opportunity of being guiled
either in New York or by thc itinerant
showmen of Barnum, yet there are ni an j
still living who recollect the mermaid'
wooly horse and other monstrosities, anc
who remember tin book Barnum pub
lished, purporting to be a sketch of his Hf,
and recording the many shameless irupc
sitious he practiced on the public. This
last exposition would make a sxipplemen
tary page or two. And yet we venturi
to say that the humbug will live on. am
Barnum's coffers not diminish in th
slightest degree by this last exposure
Such is tho way of theworld.
THE COTTON CHOP.-A correspondent o
the Boston Pox!, writing from New Orleans
ostimates the cotton crop of Texas tbi
year at least 180,000 baies. He thinks th
whole crop raised in all the .South will no
fall much abort of 500,000 bales. Th
amount of cotton thus far received ?it Nei
Orleans is 192,150 bales. He estimates th
number of bales in the South at the clos
of the war at 1,960,000. His calculation;
he says, are based upon careful investigi
tion, and he fads sure they will prove neal
ly correct.

bf the United" States, dated 20th May, 1665.

Latent .Vows Item*.
We compile the following from the New
York Herald, of the olst ult.:
GeneralHashem and tho other two mem?
bers of tho embassy from Tunis were yes?
terday formally presented to Presiden ;
Johnson by Secretary Seward. The: General
made au address in Arabio, which was in
terpreted, expressing the gratification of
I his sovereign at the termination of our war
I and his grief over the assassination of Pre?
sident Lincoln, and the pleasure which bo
himself felt in having been selected for this
mission. He also presented the B< y's letter
and portrait. The President, in reilly, al?
luded to this new inauguratioja of courtesies
between the old continent of Africa and tho
new continent of America as suggestive
and auspicious, and informed General
Hushem that his was already ki favorably
known to us as a soldier and a scholar, anil
above all, as ;i statesman devoted to the
extinction of slavery.' The people of this
country, the President stated, are engaged
in trying a humanitarian experiment as to
whether a people can save liberty and at
the same time govern itseit ; and the events
of our war, though painful in themselves,
were but incidents or this groat trial. Thc
interview throughout was a very pleasant
one.
Tho Tunisians will to-day make the tour
of the defences of Washington, and will to?
night hold a reception at their hotel.
One of our Washington correspondents
says it is believed there that the refractory
disposition manifested by the people of
South Carolina in electing' Wade Hampton
Governor, by thc convention of Georgia in
the desire to assume the State's'portion of
the rebel war debt, and ny the Mississippi
L?gislature in neglecting to pass tuc
slavery prohibition amendment to the na?
tional constitution, will seriously alter the
President's policy in dealing vrith those
States, and that by their conduct they
bs-ve Jeopardised *hc*r chants of further
leniency from him.
It is reported that Hampton Roads is
shortly to be thc rendezvous of a large and
important fleet of our naval vessels, thc
steamships Vanderb?t and the monitor
Monaduoek. which arrived there on Satur?
day, being the pioneers of this maritime
gathering. From this point, it is said,
vessels will be despatched to our squadrons
in different yurts of the world.
Accounts of additional desastera to ship?
ping along our Atlantic and Gulf coasts
continue to he received. Thc officers of the
Government steamship " Massachusetts,''
which arrived at Philadelphia on. Sunday,
report that when she was lying in the har?
bor of Key West, Florida, on the 22d inst.,
a gale, which f ibseqnentlybecame a hurri?
cane, sprang up. Every vessel in port ex?
cepting the " Massachusetts" went ashore,
and oh the following morning twenty wrecks
were visible from thc look-out. Much
damage was also dane on shore, and tin;
Key Wost people say it is the heaviest storm
they have had since 133-5. The Massachu?
setts left Key West on the '24th inst., and
on the next day fell in with the brig Stella,
from Cardenas for Portland, Mt'., in a sink?
ing condition, and took oft' her officers and
crew.
The steamships Flag and Mississippi,
which, the telegraph informs us, have ar?
rived at New Orleans from this port, both
experienced severe weather. The Missis?
sippi is reported as having lost her cargo
ana a portion of her hooks and mails. Off
Cape Carnaveral, Florida, her officers saw
a large sunken vessel and the Heating frag?
ments from a wreck. Other disasters will
be found noticed in our ship news column.
Advices from Matamoros, Mexico, to
Thursday last-of course from imperial
sources-report that the republicans, who
had for a considerable time been hovering
around that town, keeping Maximilian's
men closely shut up within it, have been
defeated and driven off. No particulars aro
given, but it is probable that the party de?
feated was only a small skirmising detach?
ment of the republican army in that vicini?
ty, since imperial reports of previous date
estimated it at not less than two thousand,
under Gen. Escobado, while Gen. Mejia,
tho imperial commander, only claimed to
have about fifteen hundred troops, though
he placed considerable reliance on an auxi?
liary force of citizen volunteers of the town
which be had organized. Mejia had an
iron gun-boat patrolling tho Kio Orando
above and below the town, to prevent a sur?
prise by tho republicans, lt is said that
the republican chief Cortina has given up
his command and retired to Brownsville in
a huff, because his superior officer would
not permit him to lead an assult on Mata?
moros. The imperialists say they will soon
receive an accession of six thousand more
soldiers from Belgium. Official advices to
the 3d inst., havt Been received in Washing?
ton from El Paso, at which time President
Juarez still'remained in that town. There
was a report that imperial troops Were
marching on El Paso.
The Washington c ^respondent of the
Herald says :
Letters from Texas say that directly aftoi
thc war the people of that State we're wil?
ling to agree to almost anything for th?
sake of pacification ; but that now, owing
to the dilatory movements of Provisiona.
Governor Hamilton, much disaffection be?
gins to ba manifest cl. Thc State ha.
mada but little progress in restoring bei
relations to the Union, nor are the propel
facilities yet afforded throughout Texas foi

Wade Hampton.
Wo find an article in the New York IVeics,
of the 31st ult., on tho reported election of
Gen. Wade Hampton as Governor of this
State, from which we extract tho following
tribute to this gentleman's gallantry in tho
past, and to his sincerity and loyalty to tho
Government ami to the restoration policy
of President Johnson at the present time:
'.For State officers, the South ought not,
for one moment, to listen to 'policy.' As a
sovereign, every State of this Union must
bo mistress of her own amur?. And South
Carolina, like. Mississippi, does herself
honor in asserting her truth by placing at
the hoad of her civil government ono of her
most distinguished sons, oven though he
has been eminent as a 'rebel' soldier. A
private citizen of her days of pros?
perity, General Wade Hampton was an
ornament to the society of South
Carolina. Within all her borders,
his name has been known for many years
as a synonym of truth and honor. The
political convictions which he held in private
I having boen subjected to an arbitrament
I which demanded his lifo as a test of the ir
j sincerity, he accepted tho demand sword
j in hand: and, call Dim what radicalism will,
j a rebel, a traitor, a villain, tho ^-reat ma
j jority of mankind will hold him made of
I the stuft' that constitutes patriots. And
his faith to his conviction is proof as true
j as Holy "Writ of his faith to his solemn
i oath. The allegiance which he has shown
! to his own conscience at tho risk of quiet,
j property, lifo, the world will acceptas uu
I deniable evidence of the truth, of the alle
I giance which he stands ready to pledge to
I the policy of restoration. Unsanctified
j formally he may be. by the express grant
' ing ot Presidential .pardon;' but thc> proof
! which he has nut in before ?ll mon of Ins
i profound good faith, declares that Wad?
j Hampton's acquiescence in tho surrender
of the Confederate armies is a demonstra?
tion of his fealty to tho Union beyond all
j supposition of official formulary. Her
j foremost citizen, the dower of her cbi
I valrv, tho savior of her honor, a man inri
I nit ely truer than some of the mouthing
i loyalists" to the Union to which he has
submitted, South Carolina has done herself
I high credit by placing in the highest posi
! lion within her borders her favorite son
I Wade Hampton."
Ex-Gov. LOWE.-The friend? of this dis?
tinguished Marylander will be pleased to
learn that the President has granted him a
lull pardon, notwithstanding 'he refusal of
Gov. Bradford to endorse ins application.
