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

to proceed to Washington, and urge
upon the authorities tho necessity of
modifying tho test oath.

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

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. Tho exports during the same period
have been 5,:?H"bales of upland, 88 bales of
Sea Island, and 82 bales of domestics, as

on hand and on shipboard not cleared, on
March 0th, of 14,249 bales of upland, 884
bales of Sea Island, and 1,070 bales of do?
mestics.
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
