LONDON, November 89.-Occasional ar? rests of Fenians continue to be m ado by tho Government authorities in ireland. VIENNA, November 29.-A morning jour? nal positively denies that there is any truth in tho rumor that the Austrian Go? vernment is concentrating troops in thc Province of Galicia. Sews Items. NEW ?OUK, November 2s.-The TieralcFi speci?l from Toronto sayfc the news re? garding the contemplated Fenian rising ?n .'roland lias caused intenso excitement Tho Globe, Telegraph and Leader issuei extras, which were eagerly purchased. 1 rumor is true, the Fenian movement, s< far from doing tim prisoners undersell te nee any good, will infinitely harm them and from the tenor of tho London Times article, copied to-day in the daily papers the hopes that were heretofore indulged ii by their friends, may prove fruitL .--s. A special from Montreal says arrange monts for the removal of the Fenian pri Boners from tho jail in this city to Sweets burg aro completed. The prisoners wil bo accompanied by a strong military guard Fears are entertained of a raid from Vcr mont to Sweetsbii'-g lo release them. Th greatest excitement is manifested in thi city over the news of the outbreak in Ire land. The anxiety to hear from tho Fenian it: surrcction in Ireland is very great. Th very meagre and unsatisfactory telegram purporting to have como over the cabh give rise to tho belief that the Englis Government is exercising 11 ceusorshi over tho Atlantic telegraph, or that th sensation news 13' manufactured by inti rested parties in the city. Arms an officers are known to have- been sent t Ireland from this city. Cue regiment 1 S^<vto militia, has furnished 150 men a officers, and a large accession is expectc from the british army. A special to the Herald, dated Toronti November 2(5, says tho Lev. J. A. Atta preached last evening, in tho Episcopi Cathedral at Kingston, to a large ai dicnco.in favor of annexation to the Unitt States. Also, that a mooting is called i Montreal to discuss tho benefit to be di rived from annexation. At a meeting of the Republican Southe) Association to-day, it was resolved to mei in Washington, December 3, and to reniai i^i session until Congress adjourned. A special despatch from Nashville sai half a dozen franchise bills have passed lirst reading in the House; all of Diemen brace in their provisions colored suffrag and two of them thc universal amnesl feature. It is now generally thought th; a bill guaranteeing qualified negro suffraj will become a law, but present indicatioi > suggest a strong doubt as to thc success tho amnesty doctrine. A bill lias passed tho Legislature, pr ?viding that in all trials, civil or crimim in any of the courts of Tennossee,it sin bo good ground of "challenge for caust as to thc competency of any juror, th such person is not a qualified voter of tl State. The bill also provides that a pers, guilty of rape, as now defined by the Te ^jiessee statutes, shall suffer death by han Htog, boothe jury may commute the punis ^p?tiL 4- > imprisonment for not less than t ^nor more than twenty years. Fifty-seven radical members of tho I gislaturo have published a call for a Uni Convention, to meet in Nashville n< February, to nominate a candidate for G vernor. A Washington lotter says a bill has be prepared, and will be introduced during t first week of tho session of Congress, : pealing the Act of July, 1862, which e powers the President to grant full or cc ditional pardons to persons engaged rebellion, if it becomes a law, it courir tho President to tho constitutional pop to pardon after triaf and conviction. It a part of the radical programme. ? Despatches from New Orleans say t radicals aro again endeavoring to hie mischief. The State Executive Commit has issued an address and resolutions,! nouncing tho President as a traitor a sympathizer wit h robt ls and a usurp and calling upon Congress to abolish t present rebel State Government and g thom a military or provisional ono, w negro voters as tho basis. Gov. Wells no oarty to it, and says In; can run I machine without the assistance of th revolutionists. ST. LOUIS, November 25.-Late Mont:: advices relate fearful stories of the crin and desperate lawlessness of the'TOUg-1 and adventurers in Virginia City. A I days ago, a desperate encounter occur in a saloon, which resulted in tho inst killing, by knives and pistol shots, of se ral persons ?ind thc severe .wounding many others, it is also stated thal evi thing is at starvation prices; that the vv ther was very cold, and that great dest: tion was prevailing. NEW ORLEANS, November 29.-Advj from Vera Crme, of the 21th, and Tamp of tho 25th, state that two French and Austrian frigates were in thc former r and ono Austrian 111 the latter. Maxirni] is living in private. Gen. Orizaba Laza is at tho city of Mexico. Tin; Imperial had only four or Jive towns -tho res Mexico is in tho 1 ninds nt thc Liberal pa At the city of Jalapa, tho Imperial ga hon surrendered to the Liberals on lltli inst., and the garrison was trcatei prisoners of war. WASUINOTON, November 29.-It is sta that Gen. Garlield, member of Congi from Ohio, purposes, on the lirst day of next ses-ion. to give notice of a bill ] viding for the assembling of tho fort Congress on thc lift li day of March ne: the (lay following tho adjournment of present Congress. Any such move, h ever, will be opposed by a great nuinbi radical members. The Republican, of this morning, st; that there is not only no authority wi ever for tho crossing of our military fo over the Rio Grande, but a positive o: against such a movement. In connec therewith, it says that if it should pi true, Gen. Sedgewick will have viol; orders, and will bo forthwith relieved i duty and ordered under arrest. Although no formal official commun tion has been made to this Govemm there is no doubt that information been verbally furnished of Napoleon's in tention to remove-the French troops from Mexico at tho earliest practicable time the arrangements for that purpose now being in progress. The reason why the first detachment of one-third of the troops were not embarked in November, according to i he Emperor's own programme, is that the other two-thirds might have been se? riously damaged hy the Liberals, who were persistently pressing them. To obviate such a result, it was deemed more prue ont to remove them all at once. There is now no doubt this will be done. The last news received by the Govern? ment respecting Maximilian is that he was at Orizava, tito French officials refusing to leave Mexico unless bc formally resigned Iiis crown. Gen. Lowry and Maj. Hilyer, the Missis? sippi Commissioners sent here to ask tor thc release of Jeff. Davis, left for home this evening, having become convinced that there was no prospect that their request would 1?; complied with at present. Market lli-ports. NEW YORK, November 30- Noon.-Gold 40$.

DEATH OE HON. CAVE JOHNSON. Hon. Cave Johnson died at Clarks ville, Tenn., on the 22d ult., at au advanced age. The deceased was extensively known throughout the country. He "was frequently a mem? ber of the Tennessee Legisture, and for many years a prominent member of the United States-Congress. Sub? sequently he was Postmaster-General -a poition which he lilied with signal ability. It is tile fashion in California for gentlemen to take their families to the country and camp out for a month. They pitch their tents and lead a sort of gipsey life, shooting, hunting, fishing and cooking. Tin; doctors ob'ect to the fashion, as it is condu? cive to health. There are any num? ber of ladies who can handlea double barrel gun with effect, and bring down their birds with the noncha? lance of old sportsmen. A new and fatal disease is killing the hogs in Fleming County, Ken? tucky. Mr. D. Johnson has lost UN hogs by what ho calls diptheria. H<; says he examinined them very closely, and found a yellow, thick substance around the wind-pipe, and nothing wrong with their entrails. They run a bloody substance from their ears and nose. He foots up his loss in hogs at over 81,000. The Washington correspondent of tho New York Post states that a Cabi? net meeting was held on Thursday last, tit which important business re? lative to Mexico was transacted. Despatches were subsequently sent, in cypher, to Gen. Sherman and Mi? nister Campbell. Recent despatches from Paris are said to complicate the Jlexican question, and may lead to important results. SHARP PRACTICE.-We see the fol lowing, which may be set down as a case of the sharpest kind of practice cu the part of a flirting fair one, going the rounds of the papers: Said a gentleman on presenting a lace collar to his idolitrada, "Do not let any one else rumple it." "No, dear, I'll take it off," retorted the naughty beauty. The Richmond Times, of Tuesday, I says: "Underwood, 'so called'Judge of the United States Court of the Eastern District of Virginia, having failed to reach Richmond, there was no session held yesterday. It is not beleived that any Court will be held this terni, though wt; have been ana ble to obtain any defiunte information on the subject." Tlie Legislature of Georgia pro? poses to secure native teachers, by providing that every Georgia sol? dier, under .thirty years of age, maimed in the service, may be edu? cated at the State .University at the public expense, for such length of time as he will give his obligation to teach after leaving tho University. A letter is published in Thc Daily flews, stating that the Government has voluntarily re-opened the case of the privateer Alabama. Mr. Seward, in behalf of tho American Govern? ment, demanded the settlement of the claims for damages by that vessel some two months ago.

EDITORS: YOU will obligo by pub? lishing tbo subjoined as information to tho Legislature," and to tho people of the State : BBEADSTCFFS rou SOOTH CAROLINA.-A late number of tho Darlington (Sooth Carolina) Southerner contains an editorial giving a plan for bringing corn direct from tho west. At this season of tho year, the proposed method is impracticable, as wa? ter navigation must soon close and the transportation will necessarily be confined to railroads. As usual, in such cases, tho rates of freight will bo advanced, which must advance at proportionate rates tho price of breadstuff's. Of course much will be said about extortion and fabulous prices, but this must bo regulated by the demand. There aro occasions when corn still in this market at a loss of 15 to 2D cents per bushel. Corn sold in this mar? ket on the 31st of October last at iL.30 per bushell Tho price in New York and balti? more at the same time was from SL28 to $1.30 per bushel. The cost to lay corn in Charleston is from 25 to 35 cents per bush? el, according to freight, whether shipped in steam or sail vessels. This includes the cost of the bags. " The policy ol' the plant? er or consumer is to buy at the nearest wholesale market. Corn has advanced in tho last four weeks in all other mari?t s about 50 cents per bushel. Ly next spring, when all the avenues arc open, the price of corn will decline, lt is estimated that tho corn crop in tho United States will be one thousand millions of bushels. The wheat crop ?M not so good. California, though, will have twolve millions of bushels ot wheat to spare. There are now live hun? dred thousand bushels of wheat on the way from San Francisco to New York. There need not be any apprehension about the supply of corn. Charleston will receive millions ot bushels. On anaverago, it can bc purchased tit lower rates than if brought from abroad. This fact is well known to all practical business men. The idea ot extortion has exploded, since the commerce of the world is open to all of us. Tho old saying is, water will lind its level : and so will corn. The writer remembers when there was a great cry of scarcity of corn in this State, in the year ISL). At one time during that year there were afloat, in this port, one hundred thousand bushels of corn in ves sels from various ports of thc country, and the same thing will happen again. There should be no apprehension in regard to thc future supply of breadstuff's. There arc cause* for prices to romain high until next spring. Tho t)ld crop is now entirely exhausted, and thc new crop is not yet ready for mar? ket. Navigation will soon close. The pre? sent stock in thc city of New Yolk i- itisuf ticicnt for the winter supply, and tho re? sources of transportation are limited There is also a largo demand for Europe The deficieucy in the wheat crop will havi to bo made up in corn, of which one then sand millions of bushels will bc made thh year. CHARLESTON, November 2, 1SGG. 400.000 bushels corn sold in one day ii New York at $1.36. Tho Chicago finies says there is a groa lack of transportation facilities to mov? thc crops, and that nearly the entire grail crops aro still in tho hands of the pro duccrs from this cause. This would bardi; have been tho case had the freight charge, and prices of grain bei n more reasonabli earlier in thc season. We quote: "Tin great 'West is now experiencing, anew, tb wants of sufficient moans of transport? tion to move the grain crops and transac the other necessary business of tho cohn try. From the interior, everywhere, conn the complaints that the railroads can ll o supply tho cars to bring in tho grain a fast as the farmers and interior dealers ar delivering it, or desire to deliver it at th stations. And in this city shippers o grain corni,lain that there are not a suffi cient number of vessels to move the grail forwatd as fast as it is received, while th shippers of flonr and miscellaneous pro duce complain of inadequate railroad fy oilities for thc proper accommodation < their business. The season of navigatio is rapidly drawing to a close, and white will soon set in, with nt arly t he entire grai crops still in the hands of the producers who have boen unable to get it to marke in consequence of tho want of eufficiei means of transportation. Tho great lim of railroad leading Eastward are airead crowded to nearly tho lull extent <>r the; capacity, and tho closing ot navigation wi precipitate upon them an avalanche of bu siness so utterly beyond their ability t transact, that it will be an utter iniposs bili ty to get freight through with even reasonable degree of rapidity. This stat of facts is of almost annual ocenrrenci and unless something can be done to ren edy it, some new avenues of transportatio opened, or the capacity of existing lim greatly increased, the rapid developmei and progress of tho great West must noce; sarily receive a sudden che.dc, and speei Uy lind a limit beyond which it caniu pass." CHARLESTON, NASHVILLE AND MEM?HIS. About fifteen years ago, the city of Cha leaton subscribed largely in money towan building tho Nashville and Chattanoofj and tho Memphis and Charleston Kai roads, with the view of bringing tho Wes ern trade to our city. The reverse h: boen the result. These roads now cari thc trade in an opposite direction, viz : i Louisville, Cincinnati. St. Louis and Nt York, by thc first, and to Memphis ai New Orleans and other large cities, by tl latter road. This is particularly the ca now, as the present rutes ol hvigh s i these roads to our city amount to a pr hibition. Pound freight from Chichina ota Baltimore to Charleston, is at prese ninety cents per ono hundred pounds, through bill of lading is given in Cincinn ti, and the freight delivered in good ord on our wharves. Taking ninety cents aa standard, the fri ight on one barrel of Ho from. Cincinnati to Charleston would $1.80, say for a distance of seventeen hu (Ired miles ; freight on one barrel of llo from Nashville to Charleston, $3.05, ad tance of live hundred and ninety-ni miles ; pound freight sanio distance, fl. per ono hundred pounds. The writer will go back to the time of t year 1S54, and give a true statemi nt w hat has been done. The receipts of win and of Hour from the interior, by taihoa to this city, wa,s one million ot bushels a two hundred thousand barrels, tint fourths of which came fi om Tennessee a over tho following railroads, viz: N? villc ana Chattanooga, Georgia and Ki Tennessee, Western and Atlantic, Geor{ Railroad, and South Carolina Itailroac the total distance from Nash villi -toCliarli ton being 591) miles, and from Knoxville Charleston 51'.) miles. The rate of freigl at that time, was tor flour $1 per barr wheat 32 cents, and corn 24 cents, fri Nashville to Charleston. The height tho ..mount of wheat and flour al. amounted to five hundred and twei thousand dollars, besides freight on ci and other produce. One single linn in t grain trade, that year, paid eleven tin sand dollars freight to the South Carob Bailroad for one special week. When the new crop of wheat of 1801 ea to market in Tennessee, the Claussen .Mi of this city, in tho short time of alu three months, received about 40,000 bu; els wheat, all shit ped over the Nashv and Chattanooga Road-freight per bus! from nine to twelve cents on each road, in all, 40 cents per bushel to Chariest, Ouo small town on tho Nashvii' j and Ch tanonga Railroad snipped 300,000 bushel? wheat iii 1861. The writer, of this has inferniatioii that large quantities of produce would rind its way to Charleston were it not for the high rates of freights. Before the late war,our market has been supplied wii li flonr entire? ly by receipts from the above points men? tioned, also shipments from this State and North Carolina. Large quantities of-wheat, fhmr and corn were expoi ted from Charles? ton to for ign countries, even us' far back as IS 17! Freight on corn from ('ballest?n to Co? lumbia L2 cents per bushel; to Augusta 14 cents. NOVEMBER 14, 186G. November 23, 1800. -Corn this dav $1.00 in this market. G. A. NETJFF?R, Charleston, s. C.
