... _ --i Th? Message xlio Governor, in kia ^gifessage? to the Legislature, euumett-aTfos^Eiosub jects td'which ho desires the attention of that body. Tbs first is one of groat importance,.es it is highly de? sirable that the Court? of the State should extend over pcrs' . pf color, and, iu order to do -this, it: is abso? lutely aQ?oaacg^wte?l&rito? States laws, to maie no distinction in the . adnrinistiition- of *tfe4 *law?s bet-ween the freedmott'and .^be white*/fZYe believe thai, the transfer of cases wherein freedmen aro concerned to tho civil Courts will materially dimi? nish crime and misdemeanor among them. All the -?oasons set forth by Governor Orr, as well as the recom? mendations .)aseei upon them, skow that he has thoroughly studied the whole subject, and the measures pro? posed should, in .he main, be adopted. He recommends a new prison sys? tem, by establishing in this city u State penitentiary. We have ex? pressed onr views in relation to this matter, and we think that the condi? tion of the communities throughout the State not on]v render the erec tion of this institution desirable, but, for the sake of peace '?nd order, ab? solutely necessary. In this connec-. tion, the Governor's recommenda tian.'as to tho necessity of a thorough revision of oar laws on vagrancy, will command attention. The condition of the population in most of our towns and cities, where the vicious aud idle most do congregate, furnish daily evidence, that vagrancy should bo suppressed, under severe penalties. The remarks of his Excellency, on the mode of relief most proper. for unfortunate debtors, ure excellent. While agreeing with tho Court of Appears, as to the unconstitutionality of the Stay Law, he makes several suggestions which, if adopted by the Legislature, would contribute greatly to the relief of debtors. The Governor's suggestion, as to providing subsistence for the needy rvrrd substitute, seems to us to be the only feasible one to accomplish the object. We have no doubt but that the State, with au unsullied credit, could borrow money ou her bonds. This matter we have referred io else? where, anv we ai'3 glad that the Go? vernor's views are in accord with our own. Tile wholo message is a clear and succinct review of all the measures which should claim the attention of the Legislature at this extra session. Legislation on other sublets can be very properly deferred te the regular session, and if tho Legislature just follows the suggestions of the Gover? nor, transact their business as well os he has prepared it for them, the members will eu.ru the hearty "well done" of their constituent?. We commend to all a caref' ' perusal of this business-like document. {;?;*. ness and Politics. We see it stated in our exchanges that speculation in stocks, gold, &c, has somewhat abated in New York, while the regular commercial busi? ness is improviug, and may be said to bu active. Buyers from .he South lind West are numerous iii tho com? mercial metropolis of tho country, and our exchanges from that city say that these buyers have considerable capital; Ono oauso of this, it is stated, is the adynnces made on tho incoming cotton crop. This improven, ^nt in business, and all this prosperity, tho National in? telligencer says, ( right to convince the Lrtsiness people of the North that there is some value in tho Union. It is in the hope of a restoration to their rights in the Union that tho Southern people aro now making such efforts for tho recuperation and development of their resources. The truth is. to Nustain tho corn mevcitd interests of tho North, there must be cotton exported, and, yet, radicalism has thrown every obstacle in the way of this export, and the ..onsequeneo will be, that gold must be. exported, and, conpecpiently, raise 1 he rate of premium, and in tho samo proportion depreciate the national .nirrency. Surely "tho solid men," not only of New York, but even of .Now England, engaged in cummer . tal pursuits, must seo that tho doc? trines and policy of this faction is destructive to tho best interests of the country. A.* ^*Imm??r?tIo? nad Bmlgimtlom. Yiiginiafe ktalriugihe lead itt the jinattor fi pvbri&Pg* tho ?eee??ary labor tflfeultiva^hci?xich.domain. .Air. ?^chardso?, ^redden %? of jj ?he |} tate (Association, *rgftnizei]fjIor-ithe purpose or inducing settlers to come to that State, gives notice that several hundred immigrants aro ou the way, and will shortly arrive. Ho requests' those who are disposed to partition off their lauda to avail themselves of the c . portunity thus presented. These immigrants, generally, aro a superior ' class,-and great benefit is' ar.tici pated from their advent. ' We think our own Stato ought to organize such an association, hot only by granting charter privileges, bulby going vigorously to-woTk to obtain information from dur former large planters how nun?h land could be secured for industrious immigrants and settlers. The question of labor, e?peeially in the department of agri? culture, is tho most important beforo tho people, and organizations and as? sociations furnish-thc"only solution of the problem. We hope the Legis? lature Will take tili? subject into con? sideration, and aid, by all proper means',, the effectual organization of labor societies throughout theState. The Legislature liai another im por? tant duty to perform towards li?o people, and that is, to provide suste? nance for thom at the lowest rates possible. Wo have no doubt but that corn can be imported from the W<:st and laid down hore nt about one dol? lar per bushel, aud a million of bu? shels distributed judiciously among the destitute, which have suffered most from bad seasons and iusuffi cient labor, would bo a great benefit and blessing. Unless some such mea? sure is adopted, there can be little doubt that, to avoid tho evils of des? titution and starvation, many of the people of South Carolina will emi? grate to tho West and the North? west, where the.staff of life is more plentiful, and obtainable At about one-fourth the price that now rules here. While, therefore, we ought to encourage every project to procure labor to cultivate the soil, wo must not neglect to avert, by appopri ate measures, the depopulation of the State from the apprehension of scarci? ty, if not. of famine. AM Important Demand. We have noticed several para? graphs in the newspapers relative to a demand soon to be made by Secre? tary Seward on tho British Govern? ment. A Washington correspondent gives the following statement con? cerning the matter: "Four days, before Secretary Ho? ward's departure for Chicago with the President, was devoted to Hie preparation of au important Stato paper. I am not able to assert whether its promulgation will be immediate, or delayed until the return o: the Executive trip. There is no doubt that the document in question, which is no less than a reiteration of the re? newal of the demands of the Govern? ment for restitution at the hands of England for losses of American ships owners by thc Anglo-Confederate pi? rates, is conceived with unusual ela? boration. "The Secretary, during the time indicated, has been almost invisible at the State Department, being con? tinually engrossed in the composition of the above despatch. In length, it will bo of excessive wordiness. In conjunction with the spirit of th6 de? mand, several clerks of the Depart iv: mt have been preparing a synopti? cal statement of tho claims referred to tho Government for British liqui? dation. The lists are full and have beeu carefully revised. While the knowledge that these just debts are again to be pressed upon her Majes jesty's Government may give un? doubted satisfaction both to the claimants concerned and tho nation generally, it does not seem at all likely that an international row is to ensue on this assertion of diplomatic 'stiff upper hp,'or that our Govern? ment will escapo the practical as? sumption of the demands Hms urged against a foreign power. This phase of the mutter arises from tho fact that England has of late boen patting in such enormous claims against thc United States for losses of English subjects in the South by Federal seiz? ures of property during the war, thal the accounts to be rendered by either Government will very nearly off-sot tho other's indebtedness. Herein Secretary Seward recognizes au op? portunity for indicating a degree . courage and stamina for which he ia generally discredited." The Atlanta Intelligencer mys : "Tia miscreant who murdered, last winter, our lamented fellow-citizen, J. R. Crew, has at length been apprehend ed, and now remains in custody al Milledgeville. Ho tums ont also tc be the murderer of Mrs. Rollins, o? Wilkinson County, for which offene? he was arrested and confined in jai at Columbus." From WsihlBgigsv v The- correspondent ?T tho Nev? ^Jforlf Herald wri^'rv, < If?a understood that'.the fact of a shit for damages having .been oom meu?ed against Secretary . Stanton was kept quiet by the Government in order to preveut the institution of 1 numerous other similar snits; "but the Herald having Smoked tho case out, d?Epite tho reticence of the G?vern ment, tho courts of the District aro already threatened with a surfeit of business growing out of ?ults against this official. " Summonses in suits for damages representing sams varying from 310,000 to $50,000 have already been issued, and others aro threat? ened . A nuruber of sui ?.s against the same i>ersonagu have been com? menced in Pittsburg and other parts of the country. The "long pent-up animosity of the people seems sud? denly to* have been let loose.- It is, however, but proper to warn parties ?who consider themselves aggrieved by Mr. Stantons official conduct du? ring tho war, that there need be no haste in getting their claims into court. The principle that is to de? termino the personal responsibility of officers of tho Government for extra ' legal conduct during the wa? will bo settled in tho Smithson case-which will probably be tried iqgtfbvouiber- j and tlien other aggrieved parties can j guide themselves by that decision, and save delays and costs to them? selves. Judge Edmunds, who has retired from the office of Commissioner of tho General Land Office, will imme? diately assume tho . duties of post? master of the United States Senate, to which he has been appointed. . Hun. < IL Browning will assume the management of the Interior De partmei... and Joseph Wilson, Esq., becomes full Commissioner of the General Lund Office, a position Tor which ho is eminently fitted by the | experience of a life-time and nativo ability, learning and research. The followiug circular, addressed to Assistant Treasurers, designated depositaries and officers of national i banks, has great importance: TltEASUKY DEPABTJTENT, TREASURER'S O FFICE, WASHINGTON, Sept. 1, ISGfi. Thu attention of assistant tieasur ; ers, designated depositaries, and of? ficers of national banks designated as snell, is hereby called to that portion of the circular issued from this office November 19, 1804, which enjoins that in the cancellation of coupons paid by them, care bo taken not to punch from the same either the num? ber or dates. A diregard of this in? junction has, in many instances, sub? jected this and other offices of tho department "to great inconvenience, inasmuch as coupons thc dates ur i numbers of which have been thus re j moved in tho process of punching I have delayed, if not entirely prevent j ed, tho reimbursing of the treasurer for his payment of the same. Here I toforo payment for tho remittance has beeu made by him without regard to the coupons so defaced; but, in view of the fact that such defacement is needless, inasmuch as there is upon each coupon ample space for cancel? lation without destroying any essen? tial part, and as by such reckless can ! cellation ih? evidence os to tho ma? turity or even legitimacy of a coupon is destroyed, it has been determined that hereafter all coupons from which either tho dato or the number has in any way boon removed will be return? ed to the parties remitting them, and payment thereon withheld until the dates or numbers shall be fully estab? lished by affidavit or other satisfac? tory proof. P. E. SPINNER, Treasurer United States. THE.ARMY WORM TNT LOUISIANA. Tho Baton Kougo Advocate, of the 20th, says: So far weean learn of but few plan- I rations that are not moro or less in fected by this destructive worm. The prospect fer saving the late plant- ! ed cotton is dim, and the old cotton ? cannot escape without injury. From j letters from R?pidos wo learn that tho worm is making its approaches on Bod River.
