COLUMBIA. Sunday Morning, April 8, 1866. Dlrcet Communication wit!? Europe. The New York Southern Exchange notices the fact, that Congress has been applied to assist in the estab? lishment of a line of steamers to ply between Charleston and Liverpool. The Exchange says: "The object of the promoters is to establish a regular line of mail steamers between the Southern States and Great Bri? tain, and also to promote emigration. For this purpose thoy solicit a sub? sidy from Congress and in return guarantee to bring out to the South? ern States 5,000 emigrants, able bodied laborers and mechanics, an? nually." Although we do not believe in the principle, at any time, of asking Go? vernment aid for private enterprise, but more especially at this time, when the radical majority in Congress would be sure to refuse any appro? priation to aid any South Carolina enterprise, yet the proposition re? ferred to is a most important one, not only as regards the interests of the Southern States, but in a national point of view. The ExcJiange remarks, very truly, that in the rise and progress of trade and commerce, much depends upon rapid and certain postal communica? tion. Hitherto, and at the present time, ail mercantile advices passing between the commercial cities of the Southern States and England and France, had to be sent via New York or Boston, and, consequently, there is a great loss of time, and, in pecu? liar seasons, a heavy loss in a finan? cial point of view. It is estimated that, by this proposed line, Southern merchants would receive their cor? respondence six days earlier than they now receive it. By its means also, they could obtain their Euro? pean correspondence more regularly, and be thoroughly posted up on the movements in cotton and other _ Southern products, and be prepared tb take advantage of a rising or hold? ing bank on a fallrag market in Liv? erpool, Manchester, &c., without | .being obliged to receive their intelli? gence second-hand from New York or Boston. This would certainly be a great ad-1 vantage, both to the mercantile and agricultural interests of the Southern States; but to the latter interest the proposition to bring out labor? ers, at the rate of 5,000 per annum, is of the utmost importance. At present, the great drawback to the retrieval of our shattered fortunes is not only the want, but the uncertain? ty of our labor, agricultural and arti? zan. The experiment of depending upon the labor of our former slaves has yet to be fully tested, but in the meantime, while that experiment is going on, we must suffer from want of labor in both these departments of industry. Our eotemporary concludes that if "the proposed line of communi? cation between the Southern States and Europe could effect no other good than inducing a healthy emi? gration from the over-crowded cities and towns of the united kingdom, would find constant and well-remu? nerated employment on arrival South, in developing the rich and inexhaust? ible agricultural resources of that portion of the United States, the cost in a few .years would be xepakl more than tenfold." We would be glad to see this im? portant enterprise succeed, but are averse to the project of seeking Go? vernment aid. The Government, we presume, would contract with the Company for carrying tho mails, but we have no doubt that any other sWrnodc ol seeking assistance from the Congress, as now constituted, would be unsuccessful. THE FUTUKE.-Our special de? spatch, yesterday, announced that Congress had passed the civil rights bill over the President's veto. From subsequent despatches, we are in? clined to believe that the bill was only passed by the Senate. MISPLACED CONFIDENCE.-The St. Louis Republican says that Speaker Colfax was so confident tho President would sign tho Freedmen's Bureau bill that ho wagered a box of cigars on it with a member of thc House. On Tuesday morning, tho member found the box ou his desk, endorsed: "From a victim of misplaced confi? dence." The honorable speaker wns n4t the only victim. L m Fort Samter. A correspondent, writing from Charleston harbor, gives the follow? ing animated description of that fani? mons locality: In the centre, in mid channel, like a grim sentinel, stands Fort Sumter, bowed, broken and desolate, A shapeless pile of earth and sand and brick, it bears no likeness to its for? mer self. Where the new cross of tiie Confederacy and the palmetto flag of General Kipley were so proudly flying in April and July of 1863, only one single banner, and that the red, white and blue, now waves. Scarred and cracked, its walls seem ready to fall. The face toward Cum? mings' Point is crushed and broken into a steep hill of mingled sand, and brick, and shot, and shell. The face toward Fort Moultrie by a solid work "of interwoven palmetto logs. Yet the structure of tho fort is scarred arid cracked, and broken above and around and behind these additional defences. The casemates, closed and covered by immense frame-work of heavy beams, and this again thick with earth, can be entered only by winding passages, damp and drip? ping with moisture. The casemates once entered, it would hardly seem {lossible that any human being could lave lived any length of time within them. The guns were slimy and mouldy, and the carriages were sweat? ing with a slimy moisture. Climbing out of the stone port? hole and through tho more widely extending one in the palmetto logs, you could look down around the base of the fort, where the ceaseless tide had woven over each of the stones a mantle-like, thick, green, wet floss, and see fragments of shell and broken bolts. You could look to the right and see wi sre the wall had crumbled and fallen into the sea. You could look above and see the logs rent and gashed, and the brick wall with great scars, and ragged cracks, and wide seams, as though a little more of the storm of iron shot would have beat it down beneath the surface of the sea. You would look to the left and see the closed ports, the rough repair? ing, the broken parapet. In the interior, the sandy earth was supported in its irregularity by num? berless fascines and gabions, and dotted herc and there by dark holes, which admitted us into the damp caverns. What had been the parado was now green and slimy with the stagnant moisture, over which were scattered pieces of an old exploded ? gun, scraps of iron hoops, a few de? cayed barrel staves, iron and leaden shot scattered from schrapnel, and bits of soiled clothing and broken bayonets. From the tall flag-staff in the centre a small Union banner was waving. Aud this was all that re? mained of Fort Sumter. From Mobile. A correspondent of tho St. Louis Republican gives an account of the state of feeling in Mobile and Ala? bama in general, which differs some? what from the statements of General Thomas. Writing from this city, on the 1st inst., lie says: "In no city of the South, perhaps, was there a greater amount of hatred or hostility to everything and everj body from the North, than in Mo? bile-at least, such was tho opinion of the North-and yet, now, that 11 have been here nearly one yeal-, I am satisfied that here, as well as every? where else in the South, it was more in theory than in practice. It was the ideal and imaginary "Yankee," as a distinct race or class, that they hated, but I am sure it never went so far as to proscribe individuals. It was your puritanical, long and pious faced, wooden-nutmeg Yankee that j they hated, and they love to hate him yet. " As an evidence that there is no proscription of persons merely be? cause of their birth-place, I may mention the fact that four out of the five present members of the Legisla? ture from this city are men of North? ern birth and education. Many of the leading citizens here ure from Northern States, and yet there are but comparatively few living here. Alabama, although one of the first States to try the experiment of se ces-1 sion, and one of the last brought under Federal jurisdiction, has shown a willingness und anxiety for recon? struction us surprising as it is com? mendable. The people have accepted the result of tho war as none but a brave and honest people would or could, and I know that I speak tho sentiment of many who ventured their lives for tho salvation of the Union, when 1 say that the conduct of the radical party in Congress is not only in bad faith towards them, j but is misrepresenting the brave and \ noble-spirited people of the United States. "Ono of tho very first legislative! acts of the Legislature was the rati- j fication of tho proposed amendment to the Constitution of the United States to abolish slavery, and I am sure that both the Legislature and the people acquiesced in good faith. Be? sides, tho Legislature has persistently refused to enact any class legislation, and in every act has shown a disposi? tion to accept the abolition of slavery as a necessary and legitimate conse? quence of tho war. " How is it that Alabama is counted as a State for the purpose of amend? ing the Constitution, and yet ex? cluded from a participation in \ht> ordinary legislation of I'ougress^^k EX-POST MASTER-GENERAL REAGAN. A letter from Judge Reagan appears in the Nev Orleans Crescent, from which we learn that he has sought the retire? ment of plantation life, resolved to forget the vexations of public affairs. The following extract ought to assure the most timid that the Judge, at least, is not a momberoi Gen. Grier son's "secret organization" for the overthrow of tho Government: "I am orchardist and gardener my? self, and when not engaged at this, or in the necessary superintendence of the freedmen, I work on the farm constantly with my own hands, and can do as much work with apparently as little fatigue as any of them. I make fence, grub, and pile and burn brush, plow, etc., and am as tho? roughly bronzed as other laborers. "You eau hardly imagine tho sense of relief and repose of mind I enjoy iu the absence of the cares and per? plexities of official and public life, or the great interest I take and the en? joyment I experience in my retired and quiet life." JEFF. DAVIS, THE STATE PRISONER. The New York Herald, commenting upon the protracted and cruel im? prisonment of Jeff. Davis, without a trial or any preparations for one, says that the President is blamed for al? lowing him to be kept there; but it is not the President's fault. The fault lies with the Chief Justice ot the Supreme Court, who declines to try Davis for high treason, because he is at a loss where to try him so as to secure his conviction. He will not try him in Virginia, because he doubts whether a jury can be empaneled who can be made to believe that the ac? cused is or was a traitor. He will not try him in a loyal State, like Penn? sylvania, where overt acts of rebellion were committed with the connivance of Davis, because ho is afraid that, being so far removed from the actual theatre of the rebellion, a jury may be moved to clemency. Congress fails to provide a solution for this di? lemma, and in the meantime the prisoner lies incarcerated. In thc hands of the Chief Justice, or of Con? gress, rests the responsibility of ob? taining a decision in the case of Davis. That he is entitled to a trial is acknowledged on all hands, oven by the most radical. That he must be eternally imprisoned-in other words, made to wear an iron mask, according to tho fashion of feudal times, without a trial, is a stigma upon our republican institutions. Let Jeff. Davis be tried somewhere-in the District of Columbia, in the Capitol, if the Chief Justice cannot find a moro convenient or suitable place-or let him be liberated under a proclamation of general amnesty. Two APOSTLES.-Two remarkable sermons were preached Sunday in this city-one from the pulpit of a Cathedral, breathing peace and good will; one in a Puritan temple, howl? ing strife and hatred. Bishop Lynch, pleading for the misery of the .strick? en and suffering, counseled "calm? ness, love and good feeling;" Presby? ter Cheever, belying tho national triumph, reviled, in priestly billings? gate, tho chiefs of the people, who shrink from oppression an i are re? building their ruins. Which bears the Divine commis? sion-he who urges submission "to tho lawful power which has asserted its rights by force," or he who flings dirt upon rulers whose moderation is wiser than his fury? Which is the Christian pastor-the. Southerner, whose voice is raised in persuasion of fraternal love, instead of complaint over injuries, or tho Northerner who denounces the powers that !>e as "hypocrites and robbers,*' because they are not wild with his own mad? ness?-Aforo York World, 1st. THE NEGRO TROOPS.-It having been rumored that the President hail issued orders for mustering all the colored troops ont of service, that negrophilistic radical, Mr. Wilson, of Iowa, on Monda}-, offered, in the House of Representatives, a resolu? tion instructing the Committee on Military Affairs "to inquire whether said reports aro true, and, if so. to report to the House all tho facts in connection therewith." We sincerely hope that the reports are true, and that the fact will bc reported to the House, and fully discussed. We have no doubt that a vast majority of the people of these United States are heartily tired of petting tho negro and taxing the white people for his support, while he is permitted to idle all the day long at some freedmen's depot, or to strut about the streets in soldier clothes. Let tho matter be discussed.-Aforo York News. THE CROPS.-Wheat is reported to have suffered during the severe wea? ther in February, and the yield will, at best, be light. The Northern and Western sections of the District have suffered most in this respect. Oats have been partially killed l>y the severe freezes of the winter. Thc crop is not encouraging. Fruit-especially the peach crop was destroyed by the severe frosts of last week. Very few trees have any fruit left upon them. Apple trees are not yet fully in bloom, and may es? cape this season. The warm rays of a vernal sun are bursting the buds in every direction, ?md developing nature's beauties in all their fullness and glory. [ Yorkville Enquirer, A Nsw CABicATUBE.-A new carica? ture has been gotten up in New York, representing Sumner, Thad. Stevens and "dead duck" Forney sitting in a group, discussing the President's speech. Sumner has a doleful face, and is wiping tears off bis cheek with a moral pocket-handkerchief; Stevens looks like Satan, with fire breathing from nostrils and month; while For? ney resembles a duck, with its feathers turned the wrong way, and from whose mouth proceeds nothing but quack! quack! quack! In the back gronnd appears the Goddess of Lib? erty, waving the "stars and stripes" over thc head of Andy Johnson, and proclaiming, "The preservation of the Constitution and the Union!" The Nashville Union and Adverti? ser, of the 31st ult., complains of Go? vernor Brownlow for asking General Thomas to place a military guard at tin?, voting places in Nashville that day. It says: "This is one of the Governor's modes of creating capital, and of manufacturing public senti? ment abroad against the people who see and condemn the error of his ways, and those of the Congressional radicals-which are one and the same." The Albion newspaper has changed hands. Mr. Yoting, who has conduct? ed the journal for many years, re? tires, and will probably go to Europe. The new owner, Mr. Morrell, is a merchant of New York, engaged iu the straw good 3 trade in that city and Canada. It is said that the price paid was $42,000. Mr. Young, it will be remembered, is the son-in-law of the late A. S. Willington, Esq., of Charleston. CONFESSION OF A MUBDEBEB.-Ed? ward W. Greer, who murdered Frank E. Converse, cashier of the Maiden (Mass.) Bank, has made a full confes? sion of his guilt. He says he was impelled to commit the act from a sense of mortification and despair arising from an embarrassed pecuni? ary condition. The deed was not, according to his statement, pr medi? tated. The criminal is now confined in Cambridge jail. The residence of Thomas B. Pal? mer, near Shallow Ford, in Anderson District, was totally destroyed by fire on Sunday last. The house and kitchen were consumed by the t?nmes, together with every article of cloth? ing, and their entire supply of pro? visions, leaving a large family desti? tute. The enormous profits of the Na? tional Bank Note Company of New York have como out in a recent law suit. During five months, in 18G1, it paid dividends from its accumula? ted surplus earnings amounting to 310 per cent. The $50 shares of the company are now worth 8375. A Washington correspondent, of the 30th ult., says it is not true that Secretary McCul?och intends to throw 820,000,000 of gold on the market. The financial statement of the Trea? sury, on Monday next, will show an increase in specie and in currency, but no redaction in the public debt. A RUMOR -A Washington exchange says: "It was currently rumored, yes? terday, that Chief Justice Chase, with his daughter, Mrs. Sprague, und Miss Chase, with the child of the former, had sot out for New York, en route to Europe. There is great im? probability in the rumor." Mexican news received by way of Brownsville, Texas, confirms the re? ported defeat of the French Genend Douay, at Parras. The Liberals were said to have gained another impor? tant success in the interior of the country. WHAT IT COSTS.-It takes at least 860,000 a month to support the 23,000 lazy and worthless negroes who infest the neighborhood of Yorktown, Va. They aro too lazy to work, and only lit for servitude <>r their present posi? tion of indolence and independence. Tho total imports at New York for January were 830,109,830, against 810,020,117 tho hist month of 1865. Total for seven months, $172,840,174, against 800,387,338 same period last year. The United States Consulat Shef? field, England, in a despatch to the Department of State, says the rinder? pest continuo to fitoadily increase, and has now extended to the sheep, among which it is rapidly spreading. A decision has boen rendered by tho Kentucky Courts of Appeals which virtually prevents either a Con? federate or Union soldier from being prosecuted for acts committed under orders of superior officers. A drunken negro, at Murfreesboro, Tenn., ran against a little girl, the other day. and, angered because she was in his way, deliberately drew a revolver and blew ont her brains. Ho is in custody, and will be hanged. The Anderson Appeal states that a United States soldier was deliberate? ly tired upon by an unknown man, at Hodge's Depot, in Abbeville District, on the 23d ult. The would-be assas? sin escaped. Toronto dates, of the 0th inst, slates that that city is on the eve of another great alarm in consequence of the report of a projected Fenian expedition. Tho death of Mr. Wm. S. Pierio, for twenty-one years commercial editor of the Philadelphia North American, is recorded.

NEW ORLEANS, March 31.-As the banks were closed yesterday and facilities for placing exchange were consequently re? stricted, the movement in cotton was' con? fined to some 900 bales, at irregular prices, but generally within tho limit* of Thurs? day's ^notations, which nc repeat as fol? lows: Ordinary 31@33c~j good ordinary 35ft?36c.; low middling 37@38c.; middling 40tf?41c.

Kales of flour yesterday in? cluded l.soo barrels at previous prices. Corn was firm, with transactions amount? ing to :l,C23 sacks at our quotations. Oats ruled at Thursday's prices, with sales of 1,850 sacks, and bran was dull without any alteration in rates. ATLANTA, April 5.-Business, yesterday, was generally satisfactory, though per? haps not as buoyant as it * was some days previous. The receipts in heavy Western groceries and grain have fallen off, tbough we have not a figure to change in our regular quotations in another column. Thc cotton market continues quiet, with a small stock on the market, and little com? ing in. Middlings would bring 30 cents, and other grades in proportion. NEW COUNTERFEITS_Peterson's Counter? feit Detector, for April 1, gives the follow? ing descriptions of new counterfeits which have been recently issued: Treasury Note?. - -10s-A new issue, dated March ll), 1862. The red seal is badly executed, as is also the border of thc note, which is made up of repetitions of the letter X. General appearance bad. A great number are in circulation. 50'.,, United States Treasury, (greenbacks,) are in circulation from an entirely new plate, saul to bc the best counterfeit yet made of the Government notes. So look out for them, as some few have taken them. United States fogal Tender Notes.-ls, counterfeit-Large numbers of one dollar counterfeit greenbacks are in circulation. Excepting a few minor discrepancies, the spurious note is an exact fae simile of the genuine bill. The general appearance is also very good. The green ink is of a somewhat lighter shade than that used on the genuine, and some parta of the note look scratchy and blurred. Thc figures 1 on the green scroll work on the lower right quarter of tho note are printed in green: bi the genuine they aro white. The head of Chase is darker. Bill has a coarse ap? pearance. 5s, imitation--the portrait on the right and the figure of Liberty on the left are rather coarse. Well calculated to deceive. 5s and 10s raised from ls. Portrait of Chase on upper left corner. 10s, imitation-the portrait of Lincoln on the left end is very dark, and the eyes poor, while thc; toes of the female on the right end can scarcely he seen. On the genuine they aro very distinct. Look ont for them. 20s, imitation-poorly done-engraving coarse, and the hill looks blurred. Tho green ink used ia lighter than tho genuine. Tho dies and 20s are one-e?.;hth or an inch larger than thc genuine. 60s. altered from 2* -in the genuine 50s the signature of the register is on the left, and the treasurer on the right end of tho bill. In the altered note they are both on the right end, with two strips of lathe work between them. 50s, imitation. They are so well done that all the banks refuse them. loos, imitated. Upper left, spread eagle sitting on a rock. The general appearance of the bill is good. The wings of the eagle art; coarse and the clouding streaky. Thu imprint of thc American Bank Note Company at the top is larger than on the genuine." On tho right end of the back of the bill tho 100 in the circles are inverted thus: "100." In the genuine, the 100 in the circles on the left end read thus: "001;" in the counterfeit they aro thus: "100." The paper is also heavier. NEW YOHK, April Ci. -The cotton market, to-dav, has been heavy. The sales amount? ed to"l,000 bales at 38@39c. Gold 1.274 A letter from London to a firm in Wil? mington says: "Cotton is sure to maintain a very hi-ih value, and we think prices will advance very considerably as noon as stocks on your side get reduced. The con? sumption of American increases, and spin? ners are largely increasing their use of your growth in preference to Indian. _ Funeral Invitation. > The friends and acquaintances of MRS. N. I).

ALMOST A Fra.-The kitchen on the pre? mises of Dr. Lynch took fire yesterday, but was extinguished before any serious damage occurred. We are indebted to Hr. J. Ti. Lumsden for a pitcher of most excellent cream ale. His saloon is convenient to the poet office, and his reputation in compacting certain compounds is well known. We are informed that two prisoners Needham Carter and Hamilton -confined on charges of robbery in tho garrison guard house, in this city, made their ' escape several nights since. RUNAWAY.-One of tho wagons of the National Express Company was carried oil, on Saturday, quicker even than the com? pany profess to move. Fortunately, no damage to life or limb occurred. The light wagon was considerably injured. The freedwoman who was shot some day's since, a notice of which appeared in our columns, died yesterday morning, and an inquest was commenced by Coroner Walker, but owing to thc absence of two very important witnesses, it wa? adjourned until to-morrow afternoon.

To set 600 ems per hour, is the task of an ordinary type-setter at the case." The New York Tribune has very nearly disabused our mind of the impression tha the Yankees were a rapid, go-ahead people.
