CASTIIJLO. CARDINAL, OF THE UNITED STATES. Some interest is being felt nt tho North as to what Prelate is to receive the rank of Cardinal in this country. The New York correspondent of the Baltimore Transa?pt says: .1 The news which arrived by the European steamer yesterday, that the sacred consistory of Borne was about to confer the rank of Cardinal on the Bishop of the United States, has na? turally created intense excitement among the Catholics of this city. There are many speculations as to the name of the Prelate who will receive the Cardinal's hat from the hands of His Holiness. But it is behoved there is little room for conjecture, for it will probably be presented to the Pri? mate Archbishop Spalding, of Baltir more, whose rank is next to that of the dignity of a " Prince of the Church." Whether the recipient of this high pontifical favor will be re? quired to proceed to Borne to partici? pate in the ceremonies of the pre? sentation of thc title has not yet been decided. It is probable, however, that tho Pope will send a Nuncio to this country to bear the welcome in? telligence to the Prelate who may be thus promoted to an ecclesiastical grade only second to his own. The next steamer from England will, per? haps, bring further particulars of the matter." BUSH OF EMIGRATION FROM GKB MANY.-A.letter from Frankfort, on the Main, states: " The emigration to your country continues unabatedly In 1865, there went, via Hamburg, 37,659 passen? gers, and embarked in ninety-four sailing vessels and thirty steamers; in 1864, there left only 19,767, on thirty ships. The number of those who left Europe via Bremen had reached al? ready, in November last, over 42,000. From the little town of Herrenburg, in Wurtemburg, which numbers only 2,418 inhabitants, left during the last year fifty-seven persons, taking with them, in hard cash, over 25,000 gild? ers. There is not the least doubt that the emigration from Europe, during 1866, will reach at least 300,000 per? sons. SOUTH CAROLINA UNIVERSITY.-We clip the following from the Yorkville Enquirer: "One TJoint in the law establishing this institution, seems to be over? looked by the people of our State. It is the fact that each Judicial Dis? trict in South Carolina in entitled to one beneficiary a year in the Uni? versity. These beneficiaries are to be chosen by the legislators or a ma? jority of them of the District; and are entitled to receive, without charge, tuition, room rent and uso of the library. Under this law, thirty young men may be educated in part. Let our legislators look to tho matter. It is one of their duties to select this beneficiary from their District. Our representatives, we trust, will not forget or neglect this matter. A Washington despatch to the ra? dical organ at Cincinnati, says that Gon. S. S. Fullerton, of Gen. How? ard's staff, notorious for his brief ad? ministration of the Freedmen's Bu? reau, in Louisiana, in a manner so acceptable to tho reconstructed rebels of that State, hos been appointed Pri? vate Secretary to thc President, and will enter upon his duties in about ten days. Tho Louisville Journal relates an anecdote of a furious radical who entered the Union Convention at Nashville, Tennessee, on tho 22d of February, while they were reading Gen. Washington's Farewell Address. After listening awhile to the sublime passages in that immortal document, lie exclaimed, "A d-d rebel docu? ment! Just as I expected!" A joint caucus of the Union mem? bers of the Legislature of New York, held at Albany, discussed the Senate and House resolutions on national affairs, the one sustaining and the other denouncing President Johnson and his policy, and finally adopted the series endorsing the President by a vote of 44 to 43. The New York Legislature is the first to endorse the President. The Court Ball at thc TM i ?cries. As sonic of our lady readers may like t? know Low the. Empress and American ladies were dressed at the grand carnival ball at the Tuileries, we copy tko following from the Paris correspondent of the New York World: Americans were not so numerous at court as in former years. Once ou a time, when Mr. Mason was Minister here, thex-e were 130 of our country folk presented to their Majesties in a batch. Mr. Mason did not give him? self or his imperial host the trouble of naming ciich person, but just intro? duced them as "My countrymen and country women, your Majesty." There were thirty-two who paid their respects to tho Emperor and Empress on Wednesday evening. Mr. and Mrs. Van Rensalacr, Miss Hall, Mr. and Mrs. John Payne. Miss Dunn, Mr. and Mrs. and thc Misses Edgar ton, Miss Helen Mason, Mr. Francis Stout, of New York; Miss Morgan, of London; Mrs. Hurd, Miss Ware, of Philadelphia; Mr. Hines, Mrs. and Miss McCrcery, Miss Gay, of St. Louis; Mr. and Mrs. Ord, San Fran ?isco; Mrs. Schliecker, Baltimore. It may be remarked that there aro very few gentlemen on thc list of Ameri? cans; there is always a far larger pro? portion of ladies, while I remarked that of Europeans thero were more than doublo the number of gentlemen than ladies. * * * * The Empress does not look so young as she did a year ago; then, at a short distance, when dressed in ono of her exquisite toilettes, she did not look more than twenty; now, although still very beautiful, and still retaining the graceful out-line of thc neck and shoulders, which is one of her pecu? liar charms, she looked thirty and over, though not forty, which age sho attains on her next birth-day. It ivas remarked that her dress at the ball was, for the first time, too youth? ful for her. Nothing could excel its elegance and simplicity, apart from tho crown diamonds winch set it off. The dress wo s of tulle, of many skirts, tho upper one, as light as gos? samer, showed, through its transpa? rent folds, a trimming of green water grasses, which fell wavily from the seams of an uuder-skirt. The cor? sage was trimmed with a sort of wreath of the same grass, over which hung a fringe of diamonds attached on the left shoulder by a knot of diamonds, and on the right by a long diamond loop-a knot of diamonds fastened her bolt in front. [N. B.-No points were worn, j In contrast to the fresh green, her Majesty wore a ribbon of three stripes, the inner ono white, the two outer ones of rose color, the decoration of the Order of Civil Merit, lately sent to her by tho Em I peror Maximilian, as an acknowledg? ment of her devotion to her people during the cholera. This beautiful toilet was completed by a garland of grasses, attached in front with ^dia? mond star, a necklace of diamonds as large as hickory nuts, and heavy dia? mond ear-rings. Apart from the jew - els, the dress might have been worn by a girl of sixteen. Her Majesty's taste has heretofore been infallible. She will, in all probability, soon dis? cover that stately silks and satins arc most becomiug to her. TUE UNITED STATES AND MEXICO. The feeling in Washington as to the exact relations of the United States and French Governments on the Mexican question, is by no means settled or defined. There is a strong party at tho national capital who are in favor of pushing matters a little. Although the French Emperor has signified his intention to withdraw the French troops from Mexico, signs are apparent that their places are to be suppled immediately by other foreign forces. All this is to be done at the instigation of Napo? leon. Our Government, it is report? ed, is seriously considering this winde question, and a spirit is manifested not to tolerate any chicanery or inso? lence on tho part of France. We do not believe an open rupture will occur between the United States and France on account of this Mexican imbroglio, but we would not be sur? prised to see some very sha* p corres? pondence before long. Fights be? tween thc Liberals and Imperialists are said to be of almost daily occur? rence in Mexico since the last de? spatches were received. RECONSTKTJCTION IN GEORGIA.-Hon. James Johnson, ex-Provisional Go? vernor of Georgia, appointed by Pre? sident Johnson, informed tho Presi? dent, the other day, that the Freed? men's Bureau was still an absolute necessity in that State, to protect both whites and blacks; that the rebellious spirit AMIS still untamed and malignant, and that more troops should bc sent there without delay. This is the testimony of one in whom the President has placed the greatest confidence. [Nashville Press and Times. And if that is, indeed, the testi? mony of James Johnson-which wo very much doubt-we shall believe the report that he vowed vengeance upon the State for the failure of the Legislature to elect him to tho Se? nate, and has taken thc opportunity of a mission to Washington, on which he was despatched by the people of Columbus, to intercede with the Pre? sident for the removal of tho negro troops, to carry his plans of retalia? tion into effect. Nothing more unju t to the people of Georgia could be stited than is here ascribed to Provi? sional Governor Johnson. j Macon Journal. Testimony Before the Reconstruction Committee ns to the State of Feel? ing in Florida. The following is an outline of thc the testimony of those with regard to Florida. J. A. Meeks, Collector of Customs in that State says tho gene? ral impression among the people is they havo been overcome, but not conquered. There has been no material chango for the better in any portion of tho States lately in rebel? lion. The people have a bitter aver? sion to what they call Yankee or Northern men. They have no love for them. Ho would not know where to lay his hand upon a man who really loves the Union at the present day. He would just as soon expect to find a white raven on tho sand? banks of Florida as to find a Union man who has always resided there. Thero might be some, but he had*not found them. Those who arc apparent? ly friendly arc deceitful. JFrom cir- J cumstances and from what ho wit? nessed, if they had tho power they would destroy tho Union men. Tho presence of thc military in Florida is necessary to secure the rights of pro? perty and the lives of citizens, both white and black. Wm. Marvin testified that when he was appointed Provisional Governor of Florida, it was purely under mili? tary control. He detailed tho circum? stances attending the troops taken by the Federal Government to re-orga? nize tho State. The number of per? sons wHb were pardoned under the amnesty oath did not exceed 7,000. On being questioned as to the election of delegates to the said convention, ho said lie did not think any ticket was run in any of the counties which could bc called in opposition to the reconstruction of the Union. About one-half of the delegates previously belonged to thc Confederate army. Nearly one-fourth of those who now claimed to be Union men all the time avoided lacing drafted into the rebel service, and did not participate in tho movement. The other fourth rather sympathized with seccssionism. The examination was not com? pleted, as Governor Marvin had to leave tho city. Rev. L. M. Hobbs testified that in Florida the feeling against the Go? vernment was bitter-much more so than it was three or four months ago. Thero was a time. when the people seemed to be very much disposed to do anything that the Government would require of them. They are now quite bitter, and say what they would not have dared said three months ago. They talk treason on the streets without any concealment. The great majority do so. Thc ma? jority of the lower classes, and a few iiitelligjut meu, whom ho regarded as honorable men, suppress the ex? pression of such opinions, but they are much in the minority, and can have bui little influence in the affairs of the State Government. The change in tone is because of the leniency manifested by the present Adminis? tration. The Philadelphia Press, of the 8th inst., says advices have boen received at thc Freedmen's Bureau from Geor? gia, iu which tho condtion of the freed people occupying the sea islands is reported. On St. Catharine's Island, were six hundred freedmen, two hun? dred of whom wert; former slaves of tho owner of the island, all in a desti? tute condition. Since May, 1805, tho island has been under the control pf a Mr. Campbell, a colored pi-eacher from New York, who has under him some ten or fifteen colored agents of the most crafty character, who cut tho wood oil thc island, and sell it, em? ploy freedmen, and pay them in li? quor at tho most exorbitant prices. Mr. Campbell, the agent, has distri? buted all thc laud on the island, a large portion of which has fallen into the possession of himself, his sons aud immediate friends. Tho assistant commissioner applied himself to reme? dy theso evils, and has at length done so, to the satisfaction of all parties concerned. FoKNEY CoJirniMENTS TUE PRESI? DENT.-There is a class of inconsist? ent Unionists here, who aro disposed to compromise with the Executive; or, in other words, to keep him in the party. They are willing to sacrifico principle, ignore the existence of the great loyal Republican party, and allow tho friend of a faction to dic? tate to and over-ride a majority. It is gratifying to know that our Repre? sentatives remain firm and consistent. There can be np compromise. It is impossible to convert or commit tho President to the policy as announced and reiterated by the saviours of tho Union. His actions indicate that he agrees with the remnants of tho re? bellion, affiliates with Norlhern Cop? perheads, and remains true to his Southern instincts. [fatter io the P?-ess. A special despatch to tho Cincin? nati Commercial, gives some particu? lars of thc disaster to the steamer Lockwood. The explosion toro away the cabin as far back as tho centre of tho boat, killing thirty persons in? stantly and scalding and wounding twenty-fivo others. Tho boat took fire and burnt till she sunk. Tho steamer Mepham, going down the river at the time, landed her bow against the stern of the Lockwood, and .saved every person not killed by the explosion. Among tho killed were .fames King, of Staten Island, and Clem. Graham, 2d Engineer, of New York. A bill bas been introduced into the Louisiana Houso of Representatives, granting to G. T. Beauregard and several other persons the sole right to excavate and keep free from obstruc? tion tho mouths of the Mississippi River. A depth of water of 18 feet is to be constantly preserved cn the bar. Valuable franchises are granted to the corporation thus formed. The London Daily News believes that tho Government has acceded to tho propositions of the Roman Catho? lic hierarchy in Ireland, and that henceforth tho Senate of the Queen's University in Ireland will consist of half Protestants and half Roman Catholics. At a recent meeting of revenue oflicers in Atlanta, a committee, con? sisting of Messrs. Moses, of South Carolina, Bowles, of Georgia, and Speed, of Kentucky, was appointed to proceed to Washington, and urge upon the authorities tho necessity of modifying tho test oath. $1,G00 in gold for tho freedmen from thc Birmingham ?{England) Association, was received Tuesday in Washington.

CHARLESTON, Mardi 12.-On Saturday last, the demand for cotton was good, and 280 bales were sold during the day, at 37 to 39c. per pound for strict to good middling The market closed buoyant, with an up? ward tendency. MACON, March C.-There was but little demand for cotton to-day, caused by tho telegraphic nows of the state of the" New York market, and only 50 bales were sold, at prices in no instances exceeding 30 cents. - SAVANNAH, March 0.-The receipts of cotton since Hie 2d inst, have been as fol? lows, viz: 8,106 bales of upland, 186 bales Sea Island, and 375 bales of domes? tics.

But little has been done during the week in the upland market until within tho past two days, when a rather better demand sprang up, and considerable quantities of cotton changed bands, buyers who had previously withdrawn from the market again entering; and holders exhibit moro firmness, though prices have been very ir? regular, owing to the unfavorable advices from Liverpool. There can bc but little doubt that the great bulk of the cotton from the interior has reached tho sea? board, and the receipts are daily falling ort", wo give as the quotations of this day at the close of business, viz: Ordinary nominal; low middling, 30 to 37; middling, 38 to -; strict middling, 39 to - ; good middling. 40 to -.
