ZBy Tele?rapli. From WmUlngton. WASHXNGTOS, January 9.-Additional foreign couvspoude-nce between Adams ? and Clarendon bas been published. The former says that winn tho Shenandoah arrived at Liverpool, tho Government should have taken action concerning tho crew; that nine of the crew were british subjects and that prevented"action. Tao London frfofat highly eulogises Grant's report as an able document, and says that h i does full justice to bis oppo? nent. Congressional. WASHINGTON, January 8.-There was no business of importance in the Senate to? day. The session only lasted half au hour. In tho House, Mr. Williams, of Pennsyl? vania, offered tho following resolution, which was adopted: Resolved, That in order to maintain na? tional authority, and protect the loyal citizens of seceding States, the military forces of the Government bo not with? drawn from such States while Congress de? clares their presence necessary. Latham, of West Virginia, made a speech, arguing th? ; rebellion was limited by State laws. WASHINGTON, January 9.-The Secretary of the Treasury communicated to Congress, to-day, the statements of the Internal Re? venue officer of thc Third District of Geor? gia, earnestly roquosting a modification of tho test-Oath*, ami setting >rth tho great difficulty existing under its provisions of securing proper assistance to transact the business of tuc department in that section. Gen. Howard, of the Freedman's Bureau, reports to the House of Representatives, that ki consequence of orders received to restore abandoned property to former owners when pardoned, the tenure upon it was re ?red so Hticertain that the steps taken iv allot it to freedmen were counter? manded, and the revenue resulting there? from had been very materially curtailed. The Joint Committee to prepare testi? monials of respect to the memory of the late Mr. Lincoln, have requested Governor Bancroft to deliver an address. The President transmitted a report to thc House of Representatives, to-day, in re? sponse tv> the resolution of that body re? lating to Mexican affair.--. P embraces much diplomatic correspondence on the subject, and is mainly to the effect that there is an indisposition on the part of the United States to recognize any other Go- j vernmcut in Mexico except that of the re? public presided over by Juarez, with whom j ?ve have so long been on terms of amity. J Senator Sumner offered a resolution to" pr< vent freedmen from being kidnapped and carried to Cuba and Brazil, there to be held in a state ol slavery. He read letters from persons from all sections, j stating that. this was being done, and he remarked th pt Federal officers were among the guilty barties. He moved that the Committee on thc Judiciary be directed to ! inquire whether further legislation was j necessary to prevent the revival of the slave trade. Davis, of Kentucky, remarked that he had no doubt the Yankees were re-opening the slave trade; they certainly would do so if they could mak^ money by it. The resolution was adopted. Senator Wilson gave notice that he j would call a bill, on Wednesday, to increase I and fix the number of men iii the regular ! army. m x'iiC Senate, after executive session, ad- ! jonrned. In thc House, Voorhces, of- Indiana, made a speech endorsing the President's j policy of restoration, and combatting the ' doctrine of Stevens, that the Southern States had ceased to exist. He contended ' that the war having ceased, obedience to | the law was the only necessary guaranty to representation, and in conclusion ex- j pressed himself opposed to the division of protection to domestic manufactures. Bingham replied to Voorhces. He dc- ? dined to concur in sentiments which kept tho rebellion alive. He had ascertained j that Hie President was in accord with Con- ! grsss, and he protested against thc dogma that States that were out of the Union I would require representations for their? loyal constituency. Shellabarger, of Ohio, argued that those j States by disobedience to established laws had placed themselves outside the Union. CONDITION or AFFAIRS IS SPAIN.-The Madrid correspondent of the London Times report.-, that the condition of affairs in I Spain is daily becoming more alarming, | and that the people there are living in a State of chronic terror. The health of the ! Queen ?3 represented as being seriously impa red, and suspicions were afloat that she was being slowly taken off by poison. The treatment pursued in her case by the I court physicians is denounced as so prodi? giously absurd as to be hardly explained ' on tho score of ignorance or infatuation, ! and it was very positively asserted that sho had become so reduced as to render it ex? tremely doubtful whether she will go safely over her forthcoming delivery. It is | further declared that not only is the Queen ? extremely unpopular, but "that this un- < popularity has extended, of late years, to every member of her family, so that she could not be set aside without imperilling the rights of the Bourbon dynasty. A day later, the same correspondent writes that extraordinary precautions had been or? dered to be observed at the barracks; that j chang?e in the garrison were going on, j and that regiments were being brought in from the provinces, whilst those that were previously in Madrid were being sent away. I The story sounds somewhat sensational." THIS SMACKS OF TREASON.-The Secretary of the Treasury made some very Democratic, and therefore treasonable, assertions in his report, chief anion"; which we notice tho fol? lowing: "I am satisfied that no State eau be govejgied under a Republican form of linent, where three-fourths of opie, embracing the largest .ors. ure defranchised and a voice in making or executing s of the State." s is directly in the teeth of the ath system of disfranchisement, adopted by Congress, relative to the South. That it is sound doctrine can? not be denied, but We are surprised that the well-merited rebuke should come from such a source. It is pretty clear that the Secretary dees not af? filiate with the Radical wing of his party. Let us hope that enough of snell outspoken Conservatives may yet be found, to thwart the despotic schemes of the fanatics and dema? gogues of the dominant party. [Neioark {N. J.) Journal.

Is tlxe Vatted itatea Federal Jadi eiary -?vltli Vresic?i-iii Joiiu-ou or with Ole RoUlcnl IlepuMici? sis ou tlf.- Ctaestlob af Restant* ?cu ! President Johnson says the acts of secession, by thc Southern Estates, were void and moro nullities, not authorized by the Constitutivo or by law ; and, therefore, those States passing them were not legally out of the Union, and have a right to return and form a part of it. So said every newspaper in the, loyal States-so said the public speakei s and the entire mass of the people when these acts were passed and the war began. It was this thought that induced the North to spring to anns to crush out the rebellion. This is the doctrine of the Democracy and of conservative Republicans. The Radicals nov. claim that these acts of secession carried the Southern States out of the Union, and that we have conquered them as enemy coun? tries, and hold and must govern them as subjugated territories until Con? gress shall admit them as States. This shows thc Executive and Le? gislative blanches ure radically op? posed in opinion. Where stands the j Judicial branch ou this question? Unless it tacks about wita the same suddenness that the Radicals have done, it will be with the President. 1 The question is not of a legislative character, but is strictly a political I one, involving the status of States ! heretofore admitted iuto the Union by acts of Congress which remain un? repeated on the statute book. The Supreme Court has often said that all such questions were for the decision of the political brandi of the Govern? ment ; and that the Judiciary were bound to recognize and follow its action. In Bordeu v. Luther (7 Howard, p. 1) this point was express? ly determined. Thc question was between the old charter Government of Rhode Island and that set up under Dorr. President Tyler having, by his nets, recognized thc charter Government, the ?Supreme Court held that it was bound Ly it, because, in relation of all such questions, and the adoption of constitutions, and amend? ments, ?te., they were bound lo follow the President. This decision must control the whole Federal Judiciary on the ques? tion before us. But the present Su? preme Court is committed on this subject, and is bound by its own acts. It has kept upon its docket, and now has some seventy causes on appeal and writ of error, from the secession States, avowedly kept there until its mandates could be executed in the States they conn; from by officers of acknowledged authority. Il' those States had gone out ot' the Union when their secession nets passed, then tiie Court should have stricken these causes from its docket. If the States went out of the Union and should lu1 re-admitted, it would not restore the jurisdiction of the Court, lt is un? questionably true that the Court acted upon the belief that tin- alerts of secession were void, and that thc States remain in the Union. The Supreme Court hus otherwise committed itself on this subject. At its December Term, 1SG3, (2d Black's,) , it allotted the Circuits under the Act of Congress. It awarded under the Act of July 15, 1862, to the Chic) Justice, Delaware, Maryland, Vir? ginia and North Carolina, they form? ing the Fourth Ciranit. To Judge Wayne, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Florida, this forming the Tilth Circuit. Ti: Judge Carron, the Sixth Circuit, con? sisting of Texas, Louisiana, Arkan? sas, K? utucky and Tennessee- .vhich include all the secession Stales. Did the Court, when making tIiis allottment, believe or imagine that a part of the Chief Justices', and most all of Judge Catron's circuit, and tin whole of Judge Wayne's, were out ot the Union-were conquered territo? ries? Clearly, they believed no snell thing. JTheir acts forbid us believing any such thing. But there is strongei evidence of this opinion of the Su? preme Court. Whin the Avar brok? out, Judge Marvin was District Judge for the Southern District of Florida, residing at Key West. He has since resigned, and another has been ap? pointed Judge. That Court hus tc this day, willi its Marshal, District Attorney and Clerk, held its region terms. The Government, in 1862, instituted lrve suits in that Courl against vessels and their cargoes, each of which was appealed to the Su? preme Court, which took jurisdiction of and decided thew, four in favor ol tlie Government anti one against it. It has, in these cases, sent down to the Slate ol' Florida live of its man dittos, taking jurisdiction of the parries and ordering the court below what to do, and thuS giving the Go? vernment four ships and curgoe: through the JFederal Judiciary in ? seceded State. These cases are re ported as follows: The Brilliaute, twe Black, 035; opinion by Judge Grier the Carcassiun, two Wallace, 135; tin Venice, two Wallace, '258; the Bid goira, two Wallace,47%, and the An dromeda, two Wallace, 481. in tin four last cases, Chief Justice Chas? delivered the opinion of tito court Can this Court now say that Florid, was out of the Union and was a con queretl territory, and held ?is such' Ten such sensible and honorable mei as composed that Court can neve: stultify themselves by holding tba Florida was or is out of the Union.

T s, ("'. ? u Jl more District Judges appointed since the war began. Louisiana has one such Judge appointed in 1862 or 1863. His Court is in active opera? tion. So has Alabama, where Judge Busteed presides. In Virginia, Judge Underwood, appointed since that State seceded, has been for years actively engaged in enforcing confis? cation and other laws. Each of these Courts has its Marshal, District Attorney and Clerk, and convenes Juries. Will the Supreme Court so decide as to declare all the acts of these Judges, their Marshals, District Attorneys, Clerks and Juries, void? Chief Justice Chase is committed to a greater extent than the other members of the Court. As Secretary of the Treasury, he estimated for the salaries of these Judges then in office, and for tho fees of the Marshals, District Attorneys and Clerks. He signed warrants quarterly for thc Judges' salaries, and for thc others, when their accounts were settled by the first Auditor and first Comptroller. He also signed warrants advancing money to tho Marshals to pay the expenses of the Courts. Can he now say that all these acts of his were null and void? We think, beyond coutro versy, that the Federal Judiciary, and especially the Supreme Court, are with President Johnson. It will be compelled to decide this question at the present term. SALE-DAT.-Monday last was sale day-besides New Year's day-and our town was literally thronged with freed? men and freedwomen. It is said they rendezvoused here with the expecta tation of hearing a speech from some officer or agent of the Government. No such speech took place; no such speech was to have taken place. We hear that at other places in our State, orders have been issued and pub? lished, emanating from the Freed? men's Bureau, that all freedmen found unemployed and without a situation on the loth ol' January, shall be taken up as vagrants, and ! put to hard labor. No such order has been issued in Edgefield. Tin? ne- j groes with whom we conversed on I Monday, seemed still unwilling to j enter into contracts-except for most ridiculously exorbitant wages. This will not continue; very shortly, in deed, they will become as moderate j in their demands as they are now im- j moderate. Very rapidly ure they be ginning to realize and express the truth that their former owners-and not the Yankees-are their only ; friends. The New Your lins como, aud they must now perforce give np their stubbornly cherished idea ot receiving lands, Ac, Ac, either from the United States Government or from New England philanthropists. I Edgefield Advertiser. A WORD F>>U NEWSPAPERS.-We clip the following article from an ex- j change. It is trite, and we commend ii to every mau who has interest where he resides: Nothing is more common than to hear people talk of what they pay newspapers for advertising, etc., as so much given in charity. Newspa? pers, by enhancing the value of pro? perty in their neighborhood, and giving the localities in which they are published a reputation abroad, benefit all such, particularly if they are merchants or real estate owners, thrice the amount yearly of the meagre sum they pay for their sup? port. Besides, every public-spirited citizen has a laudable pride in hav? ing a paper of which he is not ashamed, even though ho should pick it up in New York or Washington. A good-looking, thriving sheet helps to sell property, gives character* to the locality, and in all respects is a desirable public convenience. If, from any cause the matter in the local or editorial columns should not be quite up to your standard, do not cast it aside and pronounce it of no account until you arc satisfied that there has been no more in labor bestowed upon. it than is paid for. If you want a good readable sheet it must be suported. And it must not be supported in a spirit of charity either, but because you feel a neces? sity to support it. The local press is the "power that moves the people." [ New Yoi'k Tribune. -? ^ ? ?-. THE COTTON CHOP.-Nearly every paper we glance at, both North and South, talks of the necessity of having a great cotton crop the coming your. Every one who knows anything of the real necessities of the country, knows the necessity of such a result. It would benefit, beyond calculation, the South. It would benefit the whole nation. It would benefit the coffers of the people, and assist ma? terially tho return to specie payment. But, say some, the existing state of matters will prevent such a wished for event to happen. True, but then measures eau be adopted that, in a short time, will change the aspect of affairs at once. The plan is a simple one, and can be carried out. There are probably to-day two mil? lions o ' colored laborers vAthin the cotton producing region, who under? stand full well the cotton culture. They are better for that work than any hands that can be imported. The only thing now necessary to be done is to contrive some means to induce or compel them to work. We trust the measures now being tried to effect that purpose will be successful. i^jn is shipped from Nashville saBteiri at ?1 per bah'. From TC< New Orleans at $1 pee ?A ir il' ?I- > m TENNESSEE A GBEAT COTTON STA?E. Under the above heading, the Nash? ville Dispatch, in un editorial article on the subject, says in conclusion, "instead of growing wheat and rais? ing stock mainly, the farmers of Ten? nessee will make cotton their staple. Instead of being last in the list ->* the cotton States, Tennessee1 will be J among the first." We wish to Ten-j nessee every possible prosperity. Thut which it had attained previous to the late war was truly enviable, and it was mainly owing to its suc? cess in growing wheat and raising stock. Whether the change indicated by thc Dispatcli will promote her prosperity, is doubtful in our humble judgment. Had Georgia turned her attention more to the growing of wheat and the raising of stock than she did to cotton, we have no doubt her prosperity would have been greater than it was at any period be? fore tlie war. We trust that her future. policy will be the opposite of that indicated by our Nashville co tcmporary for Tennessee. Let her grow her own wheat at least, and raise her own stock*! To be the first on the Est of cotton States, let her peo? ple exhibit no ambition ! If she comes last in the list, Tennessee be? ing first, provided she can only attain what Tennessee has, as a wheat and stock raising State?, we shall be con? tent, believing her general prosperity will be enhanced thereby.

STAMPS ON SUBSCKIFTIONS.-We lind in an exchange the following reported decision of the Commissioner of In? ternal Kevenue: In the case of a subscription list, where> the heading involves a promise to pay the sum annexed, the party signing is liable to the stamp-duty required on promisory notes, unless he pay the amount unnexeid his name at the1 time en" signing; in which ease the signing his name should be re? garded as a mere memorauduin. Where iiie heading of a list involves a condition which the subscribers will pay the sum aunexed to their names, then each signature is held to create an agreement subject toa duty of live per cent. This decision applies to those who subscribe for books sold by canvas? sers, and subscript hms for charitable purposes. A large number of emigrants are settling in Arkansas. .a COMMERCIAL. AN!)

A new counterfeit on the fifty dollar com- i pound interest note is well executed and | very liable to deceive. The general en- : craving in tho counterfeit is courser than ni the genuine: tho word "fifty," in the lower right ami left hand corners, np- ' proaehes near the bust and die: in the j counterfeit there is quite an open space. The shadow of thc Constitution in thc vignette of the genuine is quite light. In the counterfeit it ij darker nnd the en? graving coarser. The X in the "six pe? el nt." of the genuine is crossed: in tho counterfeit it is not. All that have thus far anne?red are dated July 15. 1864.
