Canby not to interfere with the United States Courts; ami also to make a full report of tho difficulty which occurred between him and tho officers of the Court. The Court was re-opened yes? terday. Tennessee Convention. CINCINNATI, May 4.-The Convention called to consider the propriety of organ? izing a separate State Government for East Tennessee met at Nashville yester? day. The President of the Convention was authorized to appoint a committee to bring certain resolutions before the Legislature. From Washington. WASHINGTON, May 4.-Henry S. Fetb, of Savannah, was confirmed by the Senate, to-day, as United States Attorney for Georgia. Lewis L). Campbell was confirmed as Minister to the Republic of Mexico. Tho Committee appointed by the Texas Convention formally delivered a copy of the ordinance papsed by that body, to the Pre? sident, who expressed the hope that Texas, together with all the other States recently in rebellion, would soon be restored to their normal condition, and that their citizens would be admitted to full partici? pation in ita blessings and protection. The proceedings in the Senate were un? important . The House passed the bill to establish the grado of General in the army, io which Gt-n. Grant will undoubtedly be appointed. Judge Sharkey, in his evidence before the Reconstruction Committee the other day, explains very tersely and satisfactorily why the Southern people have elected men who were identified with the fortunes of the Confederacy during tho war to lill all the offices. Says the Judge, "We really had no material of respectabili? ty to run against them." This is true, and it is the testimony of a Union man. Our most respectable and intelligent people, with few ex? ceptions, went into "rebellion." And j yet the radicals would have us pick ap all ?he incompetent, inexperienced | men, and.place them in positions of power and profit. It needs no argument to demon? strate that our ablest and purest tuen j were either secessionists or were iden- j tified with them during the war. nor : need we now attempt to prove that j those very men lire tho persons upon | whose fidelity* the Government can I repose in the greatest confidence, j Even before the "Reconstruction i Committee" it has been shown that the late Confederate soldiers, of all our people, are best disposed towards the United States, and give their an- ' thority the most cheerful support. How incomparably superior and pre? ferable are such men-how "much more valuable to a nation and all its : interests than deserters, skulkers and time-servers. It seems that the manly virtues and I open sincerity of the Southern people j are not yet appreciated by the radi? cals of the North. We believe their | soldiers ?md sailors know us best of all and like us best. These know the difference between a secessionist and a so-called "Union man" at the South, and it will be found, both in political j and personal matters, they will trust ! the former sooner thau they will the i latter. They show their discernment and sense of justice by such senti? ments. The Southern people recip? rocate these feelings, and like to-day the brave men who fought them bet? ter than they do the radical sneaks and cowards who stayed at home and are now furiously brave, when the war is over.-Richmond Times. NSouthern papers report great da- i nage from the late storm of rain and feil, which seems to have been gene- \ k| from Texas to Georgia. All the rivers and bayous were out of their banks, and the crops will have to be ' replanted. The Arkansas River, near its mouth has been out of its banks for many weeks, and planters are much disheartened, as the high water now coming down the Missis? sippi will complete the rain caused by the long continued flood of the Arkansas. The counsel for Isham Henderson, charged with complicity in the Go? vernment frauds at Nashville, entered a plea in bar against the jurisdiction of the Court on Saturday, which was overruled. Tho Secretary of State . has telegraphed to General Thomas that the President upholds his action in refusing to release Henderson on a writ of habeas corpus. - - THE NEW YORK DELEUATION. Mr. Raymond, himself, a member, who has already come out against it, says that the New York delegation in Congress did not agree to support the proposition as a whole which was reported by the Reconstruction Com? mittee. Probst, the murderer of the Deer? ing family, has been sentenced to be hung. He received the sentence un? moved, and made no remarks. The day of execution will be fixed by the Governor. Interesting Report. Tho report just made by tho Pro? vost Marshal-General of the Uuited States of the details and operations of the Federal conscript laws during the late civil war is an exceedingly interesting paper. During the first eighteen months of tho war, the Federal Government relied for re? cruits upon the enthusiasm which sent so mauy thousands to the field as soon as Fort Sumter fell, and the Conscript Bureau was not establish? ed until the early part of 18G3. At that time the military ardor of the North was no longer At fever heat, and 400,000 additional troops were required for offensive military opera? tions. Few. if any, volunteered, and thousands were deserting the service as the terrible disasters of 1803 were followed by a long period of inac? tivity upon the part of the Federal armies. The insufficiency of the system of recruitment previously pursued had been demonstrated, and the army was diminished by the ordinary casualties of war, hut more rapidly by the expi? ration of the terms for which the troops were engaged to serve. Tho General Government, through this Bureau, assumed direct control of tho business which had heretofore been transacted mainly by the State Go? vernments. Tlie Provost Marshals j of the several Congressional Districts, j aided by a Commissioner and Sur- j geon each, were recruiting officers. ! Springing directly from the people, and at the same time exercising the authority and representing the ne- ! cessities and wishes of the Govern- j ment, they reached the masses and were able, without abating the re- i quirements of tho conscription, to j promote volunteering, and to ex- | amine, enlist, muster, cloth*; and for- | ward recruits as fast as they could be obtained. The quotas of districts and sub-distriets were made known. Each locality was advised of the num? ber it was required to furnish, and in the event of failure, then the draft would follow. The report of the Provost Marshal General, which has just been sent into the Senate and ordered to be printed, shows that the aggregate number of men capable of perform ing military service in the Federal armies during the late war was 3,254, 571?. and of this number 1,(?00,016 1 were in service and fit for duty when the war ended. The Confederate ; force ill the held at that time could not lowe exceeded 130.(100 men of all anns. The statistics of this report are exceedingly interesting, and we present the following condensed .sum? mary of the most important of these statistics: "1,120,021 men were raised, nt au average cost (mi account of recruit? ment, exclusive of bounties) of ??.*..S4 per man, while the cost of recruiting of 1,350,693 raised prior to the or? ganization of the Bureau was ?34.01 per man. "76,526 deserters were arrested and returned to the anny. "The quotas of men furnished by i the various parts of the country were : equalized, and a proportionate share of military service secured from each, thus removing the very serious in equality of recruitment which had j arisen during the first two years of tile war, and which, when the Bureau was organized, had become an almost insuperable obstacle to the further | progress td' raising troops. "Records wert' completed showing minutely the physical condition of 1,014,776 of the men examined, and tables of great scientific and profes? sional value have been compiled from this data. "The casualties in the entire mili? tary force of the nation during the ?-war, as shown by the official muster rolls and monthly returns, have been compiled with, in part,"this result: KILLED IN ACTION OR DIED ?*"*WOUNDS IN SERVICE.

[Richmond Times PHOORKSS OF MANUFACTURES.--The Chicago Republican, of the 10th in I stant, says: "Moro than forty new factories', the majority of them, we believe, for the production of woolen goods, are to be erected in Illinois this summer. The capital employed in them will exceed $1,000,000.' The benefit of these new undertakings will be great to all classes of the community, but the interest which will be most pro? fited fey them, will be that of agri? culture. " The people of Illinois appreciate the advantages which a multiplicity j of manufacturing establishments will ; confer upon their State. The South? ern States will be compelled to manu? facture more of what they use than has ever been done yet. In recon? structing the industry of the South this object should bc kept steadily in view. The manufacturo of cotton is that which should engage the atten? tion of thc Southern people, lt can be made moro profitable than any other branch for tho reason that the cotton is grown nt thc door of the i factory. TROUBLE rs CHATTANOOGA.-We copy the following statement from the Chattanooga Union, of Tuesday: About 1 o'clock, yesterday after? noon, some regular soldiers came out of a bar-room with bottles of whiskoy in their hands, with which they as? sailed a crowd of colored soldiers, who retaliated, and drew largo num? bers to their assistance, when more regulars arrived, and a general row ensued, in the midst of which a regu? lar kicked one of his own officers several yards. This same gang of rowdy regulars proceeded up the street, howling and behaving in a shamefully outrageous manner, attacking every poor devil so unfortunate as to possess a sable skin. Friendly pistols were fired, and a crowd gathering, took sides with tho two parties, and a rumpus was kicked up which, fortunately, was bloodless. During the evening, a late United I States officer was stanping in tho door of his store, talking about the officers of the colored regiments not doing their duty in not suppressing the row. His observations were taken up by a couple of officers of colored troops, and another row ensued, out of which the late officer retired on]y to renew the attack when he caught tht"r**two above mentioned together alone. General Lester, however, quieted the brawl, and peaco was once more restored, until the notori? ous Em. Battles carno on the field. She was persecuted, but she would not yield an inch, and fought her own way, smashing things with a vim that astonished all beholders. She was left alone in her glory, and re? tired covered with laurels. Later still, another unfortunate African, near Kunz ?Sr Bohrs' store, was run against by the soldiers, and chased up one street and down an? other, doubling and countermarch? ing on the double-quick, but he was ! flanked hy a detail heading him off, j and the poor fellow's yells were heart rending as they stoned and abused him. This may be fun to the boys, but [ it is death to the darkies. Never be fore have we been called upon tc I chronicle such unwarrantable abuse j of freedmen, and we trust that thc j officers of the Sixteenth Regular? i can, and will, do something toward' j quelling tho riotous conduct of theil i commands; that General Thomas wi! I act promptly in the matter, and re turn them to breaking stones. W( do not pretend to say but that then are a great many good men in this regiment, but we are inclined to tin belief that the majority are by nc means immaculately honest or wei intentioned. THE POLICY, OF HUMANITY.- Gen Frank P. Blair, of Missouri, one o the few Republican politicians win distinguished himself by persona gallantry in the war, has lately writ ten a letter to a meeting in St. Louis in (which he gives utterance to tin following magnanimous and generou sentiments. He says, in speaking o the radicals: "Such persons are most persisten in urging measures of unnecessar harshness and indignity, in order t irritate and goad our vanquished op ponents into acts of resistance whicl will justify the infliction of stil greater cruelty. If those brave an unfortunate people could only b driven by their insults and contumel to such acts, it would fill the sold c their malignant persecutors with uv speakable joy and satisfaction, be cause it would afford the pretext the seel, to deny to the Southern peopi the rights of freemen and free State: j These Jacobins feel and know that is necessary to disfranchise the whit race in the South as affording thci their only chance of retaining pow< nnd position. ''What civilized nation on earl j would hesitate an instant, if the o] j portunity offered, to incorporate wit ; themselves the bravo and heroic pe ! pie of the South, whose fortitude ai endurance, in a mistaken cause, cha lenge the admiration and respect the world? Would France or Eu, land, or any other civilized powe hesitate to give such men the full ai equal rights accorded to all other cit zens? Wo^d not those nations 1 most happy to claim, as their ow such men as Lee and Johnston, and host of others, and to confer upi these living heroes the rewards whi< j genius and courage always cominan ! ed? Would they fail to honor ni cherish, as a part of their own glor j the memory of that illustrious throi of the dead, led by Stonewall Jae son? Their fame belong to our nai and nation, and their survivors, ai mated by an equal courago and de\ tion, and inspired by what we ho and believe is n better cause, w hereafter contribute equally with t noble spirits of the North to the i uown of our great republic." Mr. Killian has followed the t ampio of his Fenian warriors, a left Eastport. Before abandoui tho field he wroto to General Meat asking if arms intended to prob fishermen in their labors were to seized. General Meade replied tl he should seize all arms intended disturb neutrality, and, moreov arrest nil persons engaged in sn work. Mr, Killian left soon aft Tho DeSota and Winooski aro ly i in the port of Eastport, and the J gusta was steaming in at the hr j of our despatches. [New York Herald, 29th Guizot, it is said, has become Catholic. foreign New?. A Vienna telegram, of the 18th, says Bavaria, Wurtemburg, Saxony, Baden and Darmstadt are quite united on the German federal ques? tion, and should war occur they would all be on the side of Austria. Their agreement encourages a hope that peace will not be disturbed. The Berlin correspondent of the London Times says that CotMit Bis? mark has repeatedly tendered his resignation within tho last few days, but has been unable to obtain the sanction of the King to his with? drawal. A modification of tho Cabi? net will probably be accelerated by the Emperor of Austria having in? formed the Emperor of the French that under certain circumstances he would not object to lay the question of tho Duchies before a European congress. The writer says most posi? tively that no concentration of troops has taken placo in any part of Prus? sia, and that tht.-o is not a trace of any measure capable of being con? strued as aggressive. Peace meetings continue to bo held in the large towns throughout Prus? sia. The text of Prussia's reply to tho Austrian despatch, of the 6th ultimo, is published. It dwells espe? cially on the admitted movements of i Austrian troops on the Prussian fron? tier, by which Prussia was led tD take defensive measures, and says if Count Mensdorff, after the Emperor has passed his word that no aggression is intended by Austria, si iii continues to make military preparations, it can? not bo expected that Prussia-an equally clear denial of hostile inten? tions having been given hythe Kiug should relinquish those defensive measures which were called forth by the attitude of Austria. The Prussian answer to England's remonstrance is said to bo cold and haughty. The Austrian answer says: i "Austria does not ask an inch of land in the Dueliies, nor will she accept it. j Prussia wishes to annex tho Duchies, ! and Austria is bound to support the' rights of the Schleswig-Holstein peo- ', pie. She will not dictate to them, but requires that tho will of the peo? ple and of the Diet should be re- I spected. The Prussian and Austrian troops should be withdrawn, and the people should choose their Govern ment by universal suffrage. Austria i accepts their deci ion, even if in ' favor of Prussia." A Copenhagen telegram nays that ! the Government of Denmark has j received communications which com? pel it to assume a lest* positive atti? tude in the German dispute, and it has adopted resolutions of nu impor taut character. RUSSIA. There was great re: ?icing at St. ! Petersburg, and elsewhere, on account of tho Emperor's escape from the at- j tempt to assassinate him. The man who attempted the Em pcror's life is a Russian, a land owner ; of small means, who considered him- j self injured by the emancipation of i the serfs. Ho discharged a pistol withiu a few feet of tho Emperor, and the shot would probably have : taken effect, bad nota peasant turned asido the assassin's arm. This pea? sant has been ennobled for his effort, i lt is said that the emperor, with per- I feet presence of mind, himself seized ' tho culprit, asking him quietly, I "What have I ever done to you, that you should seek my life?" The Glasgow Chamber of Com? merce has resolved to memorialize the Government "to alford the post office authorities the necessary facili? ties for tho despatch of a mail to bombay once a week on a fixed day."

The gross frauds perpetrated upon the masses of the Fenian Bro? therhood for the last four months, in the name of patriotism, have at last come to a close. Ever since Decem? ber S, ,.aen the Senate, headed by Col. Roberts, left the organization located at Union Square, tho O'Ma? hony party have been weakening gradually and imperceptibly, and it was only by the most, desparate false? hoods, and the most profuse expend? iture of the moneys taken from the pockets of the honest members of the Brotherhood for the ostensible pur? pose of liberating Ireland, that the Union Square establishment has ex ted, and received life from the heart's blood of the organization. On Saturday last, the Eastport con? tingent of the grand army of invasion called on John O'Mahony and de? manded that they should receive re? muneration for the loss of time and employment they had suffered in the wild goose chase. O'Mahony refused at first, and denounced Killian as a traitor who had sold the "cause" to the enemy; Killian having already asserted the same thing of O'Mahony in the streets of Eastport, stating that the reason why his invasion scheme had come to grief was because "the administration had refused to sup? port him in the field." (Meaning John O'Mahony.) This did not satis? fy tho men, however, and Colonel Walsh and Captain Gaynor, it is un? derstood, presented pistols at the head of O'Mahony, having previous? ly locked the doors of the mansion to prevent his escape. O'Mahony, after a slight delay to gather his scattered faculties, paid the demands of the men, and they loft on theil way rejoicing, with twenty dollars percapit<i in their pockets. A committee has been appointed to bike charge of the Union Square headquarters, and tho books, papen and rooms therein, until Janies Ste phens arrives, for the purpose o making a proper investigation.
