By Telegraplx. Later (rom Mexico. NEW YORE, February 15.-Tho steamship Bremen, from Liverpool 31st nit., has ar? rived. The Sunday Gazette says that the first re ?dingof the reform bill will not be moved before Easter-more probably not before the re-assembling of the House after the holidays. The Government has issued another pro? clamation, offering ?'2,300 for the capture of Stephens. An additional seizure of fifty rifles and . bayonets was made at Dunkirk. Intelligence that Mr. Chandler's motion, in the United States Senate, in reference to the Alabama claims and the recall of the American Ministers, was negatived, had no offoct on 'change. Several vessels bearing Chilian colors ap? peared off Valencia, pursuing Spanish shipping. It is supposed they aro pirates under cover of the Chilian flag. NEW YORK, February 17.-The steamship City of London has arrived, with Liverpool dates to tho 1st instant. Cotton dull and declining-Bales for two days 18,000 bales. Five-twenties, 66?@6G$. Thor? was almost a panic in the London money market. Tho steam ram delayed in tho Thames, and said to have been 'built for the Peru? vian Government, has been allowed to de? part. The ram built by Laird, for Peru, which lately left Liverpool, was at Brest, where, it is announced, she will be de' I ed until the Spanish-Peruvian difficulties are settled. Additional foreign advices statu that it has been officially announced from Vienna that the negotiations for the formation ol a now corps of Austrian volunteers for Mexico will soon be brought, to a close. It is rumored that the British Parliament will be asked to suspend tho writ of habeas coi"pu* in order that the Government maj deal with foreign conspirators. The Canadian people and press are greatly excited, and some of them are furious over the failure of their com? mission recently in Washington tc induce our Government to renew the reciprocity treaty. A Toronto papei declares that the members of the com mission shamefully humbled them selves, and that they dare not submit to Parliament the requirements mad? of them as a consideration for ifc renewal. The Government papen pretend to be pleased with the failure of the negotiations, alleging that i will lead to the consummation o their pet scheme of a confederatioi of all the provinces. Messrs. Gal and Howland, of the commission returned to Montreal on the 11th in stant, and the latter left next day fo Toronto, to get all his flour into tb American market before the 17tl proximo, the time when the treat; Iexpires, he being owner of the Lamb ton Mills. Lord Monck, the Gover nor-General, returned to Montres from the United States on Tuesday. We learn that the Spartanburg am Union railroad will be completed t the Broad Hiver bridge in about tw months. Our energetic President T. B. Jeter, is pushing the worl ahead. If any one can bring th road to perfect life again, it is he. 1 it were possible for our President t have his schedule so as to arrive a Shelton at 10 a. m., and leave ther at 4 p. m., we would then have mue quicker communication between thi place and Columbia, which the would be greatly facilitated by M A. and J. Harvey's lino of hack running to the present terminus c the Greenville and Columbia roac Freshley's Station, and Shelton, th present terminus of the Spar tan b ul? and Union railroad.

PLANTING SEASON.-The day < preparation for planting is at bane Everybody seems busy, and ha-* gone to work with a new impulse an big expectations as to the enormoi profits expected to be realized fro; the growth of cotton. Corn is n< spoken of-not in the programm In fact, from present indications, seems that no grain beyond the actu wanta of the producer will be cale lated on in this section. With a ti of five cents per pound on the ra cotton, assessed by the United Stat Government, beside a heavy tax I the State, we think the man sensib who pays some attention to the ci ture of a large grain crop. Wheat represented as looking better than f several years past.-Lancaster Ijedgt TIRED OP CONSTITUTIONAL AMEN MEN-IS.-A despatch says: Congre begins to weary of them; to use slang phrase, they are "playeel oui and the Judiciary Committee of t House has already washed its han of the several propo^ted amenelmei that were before it. The latest oi introduced yesterday, may possil squeeze through the House, btft chances in the Senate are thought be dubious. They are certain all be vetoed^JJuoT neheej i'tie labor Ooj^gr^tsfis a clear waste of m< -Valuable time. It is perfectly safe repeat, what I have before told ye that every measure that cannot squared by the Constitution, as 1 President had recently explained is certain either to be pocketed returned by him. REPORTED HEAVY Loss TO ADA! EXPRESS COMPANY.-The Memp Bulletin says the steamer W. R. C ter, which exploded a few days a? had on board $200,000 in curren which was sent from the Assist: Treasurer at St. Louis to the care the First National Bank of Mempl for the paymaster, to be used in p ing off the disbanded colored troo The boat passed down late at nig and the money was thus unfoi nate ly permitted, by mistake or conseemence of no authorized per. being at the river to receive it, to p by. It is said that the whole loss1 fall on the Adams Express Compa that had it in charge. Washington Now* ?nd Rumor?. The Freedmen's Bureau bill was sent to the President, late Tuesday afternoon, and it is expected to bu laid before the Cabinet on Friday. The report that Seward, Mcculloch and Welles advised against its ap? proval, in last Friday's Cabinet meet? ing, is now authoritatively stated to be untrue. Those most en rapport with the President are confident he will return it with his reasons for dis? approval. A military guard is still in posses? sion of the Richmond Examiner of? fice. Th? further publication of that sheet is discontinued indefinitely. The recent attacks upon the Govern? ment and the officers of the United States army stationed in Richmond are supposed to be the reasons which compelled Gen. Terry to issue the order. Public opinion is said to sus? tain the military authorities in their action in the matter. Gen. Terry has the key to the office, and unless his action is countermanded by the Go? vernment, the paper will not again appear under the old regime. The fact has already been stated that Mona. Montholon was not pre? sent at tho oration of Mr. Bancroft. The reason of this is said, to-day, tc have been because of a foreknow? ledge, on his part, that Mr. Bancroft intended to depart from the real sub? ject he was called upon to eulogize, and "pitch into" the conduct of for eign governments generally. As the French Minister was unable to se( what this had to do with an eulogj upon Mr. Lincoln, he concluded t( remain at his department, where hi was during the delivery. The Constitutional amendment changing the basis of representation is thought to have no chance of sue cess in the Senate, as a fair count o its advocates and opponents has beei made, and the result, if the count b correct, shows that it will receive se venteen nays, including eleven Demo crats and six Republicans. On the 4th of March next, it is said the President will announce thre new members of his Cabinet, one, i not two, of whom will be from acros the line. Meanwhile, those gentle men who are to vacate, are aunounc ing, in advance, that the action wi be purely their own. and the cause the refusal of the President to er dorse the measures of the radict party. The Intelligencer, of the. 13th, re affirms the statement I gave you o Mo..day, that the President will prc bably veto the bureau bill. The mai objection of the ('resident to the bi have already been stated in the Let ger. The proposed meetings of citizer at various points throughout th Union, on the 22d of February, fe the purpose of expressing their aj probation of President Johnson's pi hey of restoring the Union, will pr< bably lead to the organization of new political party, in which the Di mocratic and the conservative R publican elements will bo merge? This ia the beginning of tho popula movement founded upon the chan? of public sentiment which Preside] Johnson said, the other day, was g? ing on imperceptibly. Those mo hopeful of such a change cannot y perceive it. There is no sign of ar relaxation of radical policy in any i the proceedings of Congress or State Legislatures. The best opinion in regard to tl fate of the new freedmen's bill is, th the President will return it with o jections to certain provisions appl ing the measure to States where tl habeas corpus is not suspended, ai depriving owners of the sea isla] plantations of their property. It said that the Attorney-General h opposed the measure on account its illegality. Private property ca not be taken for public uses withe just compensation. Congress mi obtain au amendment of the Cona tution repealing that clause before can legalize the seizure of the t islands or other estates in the Soul There was a large crowd, to-day, the White House. John Ross, of i Cherokee Indian nation, had a lo interview with the President, and Rives Pollard, of the Richmond K miner, lately suppressed by milita order, was in waiting to obtain audience. - Washington Cor. Baltim Sun. FROM MA INK.-A despatch, da 14th inst., aays that in the Legh tera ofiihat State, Mr. Payson (Dei crat)^ wfc permitted to ofter to House to-day a series of resolves, elaring that it should be the first Bire and prayer of every citizen, t the chief aim of every statesm that the lately insurgent States sho be speedily restored to their fori orbits; that all factious opposit merits and receives stern reprobati that President Johnson is entitled our warmest thanks for his earr efforts in that regard; that all p tions and applications from abn for the punishment of offences c< mitted against the Governm belong rather to a barbarous thai a civilized people; that the Gove ment being clothed with power such punishment, and being it the best and oidy judge of the sa all such petitions and applications uncalled for, unreasonable, and j judicial to the true interests of country. MR. BANCROFT S Q^anim t press, with eingularj[fh fl 1 ? press ilissatiah;ctiQ^?lcrof1 rate oration ofjg Wjf,,',?;/',,',. If the radicals are to have full sway in Congress for the next four year?, the Constitution will have become like Dean Swift's stocking, "so darn? ed that none of the original yarn will be left." But it is not alone in amendments that the destructives are seeking the overthrow of this once venerated instrument. They are rushing through Congress, with in? decent haste, legislative measures, which, if they become laws, indirectly will have the effect to make the Con? stitution itself a dead letter. Chief among these measures is the Freed? men's Bureau bill, that was passed through tho Senate last week with such hot haste, and in defiance of the solemn agreement made, that the bill should come up the next morning for reconsideration, sent down to the other House for its action. Aside from the enormous expense that this bill contemplates, in supporting minions of worthless, lazy negroes, it was a cruel wrong to the States not represented in Congress, and within whose limits it is to operate. Tho motive is now clear to the mind of any reflecting man, why the radicals have been so persistent in shutting out the represen'-atives of tho late re? bellious States from the floor of Con? gress-it was to afford an opportunity to mature this and kindred schemes of wrong and outrage, and incorpo? rate them into legislative acts. This Freedmen's Burean bill, in all its de? tails, is worthy of its author. It in? vests an institution unknown to the Constitution with high judicial pow? ers-authorizing tho President to assign army officers to the exercise of those judicial powers. It breaks down the middle wall of partition between the powers of the General Government, and blends and concen? trates in the same hands exeentivo and judicial powers, besides depriving the citizen of his right of trial by jury. It was most properly charac? terized by Senator Davis, of Ken? tucky, when he moved to amend the title by substituting the following: "A bill to appropriate a portion of the public lands in some of the Southern States, and to authorize the United States Government to purchase lands to supply farms, and build houses upon them, for tho freed negroes; to promote strife and con? flict between the white and black races, and to invest the Freedmen's Bureau with unconstitutional powers to aid and assist the blacks, and to introduce military power to prevent the commissioners and other officers of said bureau from being restrained or held responsible in civil courts for these illegal acts in rendering such aid and assistance to tho blacks, and for other purposes." There must come a time when the healthy reaction in the popular mind must hurt these disorganizers and disunionists from power; and per? haps just such bills as this and the negro suffrage bill, will hasten its coming. When that time arrives, it will become tho duty of the repre? sentatives of the people and tho States, in a united republic, to ex? punge from the statute book these acts of radical legislation. Lot the young men of this generation, there? fore, look at and study thea closely, that they may be all the better fitted to perform this wholesome work of reform understandingly and well. Usurping legislation, commercial robberies, the monopolies of wealth, the Corinthian manners, engendered by our late civil strife, will yet all work ont Heaven's just retribution; and when it comes, the oppressed people of this country will look up and see the hand-writing of the fingers on the walls of tyranny, und hear the footsteps of the avenger. [N~ew York Neica. At a reception in Washington, a reporter says there wero present "warriors and naval heroes, whose fame is world-wide, eminent states? men and jurists, twenty of whom, at least, are candidates for the Presi? dency.' The wife of a Republican Congress? man complained recently of tho crowd? ing of negroes in the Congressional gallery. Consequently the negroes were put in a separate place, and Greeley is making an outcry about it. The Mississippi River is rising and pouring through all the plantations near Baton Rouge. The great levee building there, under the State ma? nagement, has not been finished, mid great loss is anticipated. At Knoxville, Tenn., on the 13th, a negro was hung by a mob for shoot? ing Lieut. Col. Dyer, of the First Tennessee Cavalry. The Governor of Louisiana has vetoed the parochial election bill. It is doubtful if there is enough mem? bers present to pass it over the veto. Gen. Lee arrived at Washington on Friday evening, and is stopping at the Metropolitan Hotel. SHIP NEWS. PORT OF CHARLESTON, FEB. 19. ARRIVED SATURDAY. Sehr. Chas. E. Paigo, Frink, Baltimore. Sehr. 8. C.

The Circassian, dur? ing one of his wandering tours, became very needy, and aeon found cager pro f>osers for the purchase of his splendid ior.se. At last he consented to part with him. He was brought before tho pur? chaser, and there ensued a scene that has been used as a subject <>f a poet's pen. At a signal from him, the horse, "With flowing tail and Hying inane, With nostrils never stretched by pain, Mouth bloodless to the bit or rein. And feet that iron never shod, And flanks unscarred bv spur or rod, The bounding horse -tho wild -tho free Like a wave that dishes on tho sea. Came proudly thundering on."
