From the Baltimore Sr.n. B .. Probabilities of Snv.grat'on Soufhward. B Every day brings fresh evidences B V'that the people of the Southern B 'States have set themselves to work B -to rebuild the waste places, and to dev elope the arts of peace with the same energy which they threw into | the struggle of arms, and the same I . fortitude with which they bore the I crushing disasters of war. Their I stand has been taken with regard to I the constitutional amendment. They I . have rejected it with unanimity, and I. having done'so, they wait with no hes1' itating attitude to drive any bargain I of political compromise, but leave the I governing majorities with whom presA +/-. tlioir own COUSl CUff punw ?.v sels, while they turn their hands with diligence to the work which- lies at their own doors. The overflowing prosperity which invited luxury and <-repose before the war induced the mistaken belief that the people of the . South were deficient in the sterner K. ' virtues which combat adversity and | - .. wrest plenty and prosperity from re!; . luctant nature. There never was a greater miscon ception." Instead of the listlessness , v. -'- of despair having overtaken them, the ' truth is dawning upon the public mind -Ij. that quiet fortitude characterizes their -'present political exclusion, and their H^^lHance with the anxieties and cares r - of misfortune is but a bridal which v'- ' will give birth to hopes and efforts which crown the land with plenty, and its towns and cities with the triumphs of industry ajid the arts. Heretofore - . emigration nas set wuu a sicauj umv rent from the older States of tlie South / ' V to the West and Northwest, nor was there any compensating emigration from Europe. One principal caaisc of this disastrous course of migration "was the system of large landed pro'' . prietor&liip. The small farmer felt himself out'of place amongst the large land owners, and those who wanted ?~ land to cultivate with their own hands could not find in the market parcels small enough for the compass of their / means. The alternative was to emigrate to those States where the landed distribution was more general and equal. But circumstances have changed all this. The impossibility of concentrating large bodies of laborers necessitates the subdivision of the lamls of the ySouthern States. Land is and will be in the market, abundant and cheap,- in parcels of any size, from the y market garden to the farm of forty and eighty acres, and larger orsmalv. Ier, as the wants of the community y may determine. Capital being un V able to monopolize land, which, without labor, is of comparatively little , J value. The greater fertility of the ''y lands of the South, the larger profit 3? which the production of its staples - J? yields than those of the "West and Northwest, will necessarily attract ^ - the agricultural industry of European L. emigrants, and will, in time, create a refluent current of migration from the \ Middle and Western States, where land is already becoming comparatively high and difficult of acquisition. The policy of granting the lands . for public enterprise, or selling them B at a minimum in small' tracts, or be^?retuwing homesteads upon actual scttiers at nominal prices, which was carried out in the Novthwestern Sta tes so happily, from the circumstance of the General Government being the universal proprietor of the territory, has been the great secret of the rapid -I--'- a -p it Or , _ _ mi.. ueveiopmeiJL 01 mosc otaics. xnc necessary subdivision which will take place of the large plantations of Virginia, the Carolinas, Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi, it is fair to suppose, will exert, to a more or less extent, a corresponding ' influence upon the course of population. There is another circumstance which has not been, generally estimated in-connection with this subject? that the nature of the soil and the character of - the staples of the South will give employment to children and -feniales in many rural occupations for which their strength is inadequate in higher lattitudes. Por example, in the culture of cotton there is need of many more hands to gather the product than to cultivate the plant. This is labor of the lightest, sort, in which fingers will accom ? * . J. .1 _ . 1 . il 1 piisn a greatiuciu more man maniy strength. The whole family of the farmer can profitably aid in gathering the crop. The child twelve years of age will perform as much or more of this \vork than the man, and for this reason the returns of a farmer yrhois the head of a family will be far beyond the profits of the grain or grass grower of the Northern States. Experience "has shown that the culture of cotton is for this reason proportionately far more successful with small farmers than upon the large plantations. Perhaps the. system of small farms compares with that of . large estates more advantageously in respect to the culture of cotton than any other one agricultural product. This is well known, to the people of the- c.otton districts, 'although we be : ^ . jjjj ^ ; lieve there-is a very general impression elsewhere that tlic profitable cultivation of cotton requires large outlay of capital and labor. The. foregoing are hut very few of the considerations which justify the j belief that a current- of emigration will soon be directed towards the j lands of the Southland that thcrava| ges which the war has made will be obliterated within a briefer space than has been anticipated, and the population more than compensated for the diminution it lias borne. o From tlic Charleston Courier. Washington, January, 15. Senator Cowan, of Pennsylvania, has been nominated Minister to Ausj tria, and it is probable that he will j be confirmed, as the Senate, from courtesy to its members, give their assent to any Executive nomination of i the body, 'without referring it to a committee. Mr. Cowan is one of the - * . l ! ablest men of the Senate, anci certainly one of-tlic most independent and high-toned men 'that have distinguished it. He was elected as a Republican, and became Conservative from principle. He had great hopes that the Conservative cause 'would be retrieved by his own State, and that it would triumph at the Fall elections. Ho now freely declares his belief that the Radicals are plunging the country into revolution and anarchy. He thinks that the people will filindly follow tlieJfc infuriated leaders, and that the President will be*impeached or that the Executive and Judicial power will'be subjected to that of the revolutionary power of a political Congress. In -the interesting category, which took place between him and Mr. Sherman, in the Senate, yesterday, Mr. Cowan gave vent to his opinions and policy on that subject. Ilis words produced a startling effect, and were treated by Mr, Sherman as threats. The- conversation referred to appears in the Congressional Globe, but not in the newspaper reports. Mr. Cowan is a German scholar, and will do credit to the country as its representative in Austria. There are various projects before Congress in relation to the currency, and will be a hundred more. The Committee are slow to produce any plans of finance. Tlicre arc intrinsic difficulties in the-questiQn', which. v;jll operate against every plan.i? The schemes so far offered neither contemplate a reduction nor an increase of currency. The general tendency of opinion is adverse to the Treasury policy of expediting the payment of the national debt, or of an early resumption of specie payments. Until our exports shall for two or three years exceed our imports, it will he useless, if not impracticable, to resume specie payments. The prospect is that, as the sc'ssion is half gone, and as politics will engross the attention of Congress, nothing will be done in relation to finance. The Secretary of the Treasury is of the opinion that Congress will not act upon the matter; therefore the gradual withdrawal of the greenbacks, at the rate of four millions a week, will continue. . , Nebraska and Colorado will have a hard struggle yet to get intothe Union as States. It is uncertain : whether the President will sign the Bills, and there will scarcely be a twothirds majority for than. LEO. Washington, January 10. The Senate is "disposed to stir up the Mexican muddle, at least so far as to inquire into the action of the Executive in regard to it. It is avow! ed that President Lincoln and Mr. ' Seward had intended to recognize the Government of Maximilian immediately after their.auguration, in March 180-5. It is even intimated by the opponent^ of Mr. Seward that the Executive has been remiss in not driving Maximilian and the French out of Mexico ere this, and that he is responsible for the continuation of the chaotic disturbance in Mexico. The Senate will not be able "to obtain all the information it is proposed to ask as to. the internal working of the "muddle." Mr. Seward is as igrirvrniif 111 rr>?v:i ril is. The Sherman-Campbell mission was got up with the express view to obtain information as tollie military and political condition oi" Mexico, and it proved a total and ridiculous failure. All parties and factions in Mexico, were found to be opposed to any interference in tlic aflairs of the country by the United States. "The House Committee on Foreign Relations have had this subject u; dor consideration, and merely <!, lern.ined to do nothing about it' at present.? They have no intention to prnpn e any thing that will tend to interfere in tlic internal concerns of Mexico. After the French-troop;-; have withdrawn, and. Maximilian abdicates, Mexico will be relit with factious, . and a dozen .aspirants to power will -J appear in opposition to .Juarez. That the Govertime it can then- hit-pose between tliu*luuliom iwtli any wjeucli r s ..J y y , " :.~s - ci.al effect is doubted. It must cither remain neutral, and adhere to its principle of non-intervention, or conquer the country, and undertake to govern it.. The Senate Bills for the admission'of Colorado and Nebraska,'which passed the Senate, have come back fi;om the House to the Senate, with a proviso that the Legislatures of those States shall pass laws extending suffrage to negroes, through in the Constitutions adopted by those States suffevage is allowed only to whites. Congress thus assumes to alter a State Constitution, and instruct a State Legislature what laws it shall pass. This action is strange enough, but it is less remarkable than the declaration made in the House of the prin ciples upon wincli the action was Phased. It is avowed, as the solemn determination of the Radical' party, that no State shall ever bo admitted .into, or restored to the Union, which shall not establish negro suffrage "as its fundamental law.' Further, ike determination was expressed to impose equal suffrage upon all the States now in the Union. There are from five to. ten negroes in the two States of Colorado and Nebraska, and the number is not likely to be increased. Therefore the question is not a practical one; but it is intended to establish a principle of interference in State Govovnmcnts, setting aside State Constitutions, and over-riding oven the popular will as expressed at elections, in order to establish the depotism of a Radical Congress. % General Cameron, the Senator elect from Pennsylvania, has, in his speeuh upon the occasion of his-election, gone deeper into Radicalism* than even his competitor, Mr. Stephens, ever did. Gen. Camc/bn declares that the Southern States neither arc or ever can he loyal to the Union.- By the Union he means, of course, the Radical party- as now organized. lie says that social, more than political influences, govern the South. The Sout hern States have, and for a length of time must have, a very large colored population that were lately slavery and no one believes that voluntarily these States will ever extend suffrage to this nonulation. No Southern Slate ever can surrender the right of suffrage; .and the Itadiccls know it, and .will jsieze upon it as the means far keeping the ten Slates out of the Union,-and of grasping despotic powers; * ? 1 LEO. ' Keporlcf Lhe Revenue Commissioner. ' Outside of the settlement of the affairs of the South, there is no measure which so urgently demamfs the consideration- of the Government lit -Washington as the adjustment, on a fair and equitable basis, of the system of taxation which is to he enforced for the payment of the national debt and the support of the governmental establishment. As the passions arising from the war subside, the tarijf and internal revenue systems will exact more earnest thought, and require a higher statesmanship than the present Congress appears to possess, which will only- be noted in the future for its promotion ol sectional stme and partisan bitterness. Under any system of revenue, the payment of the interests,: and a provision for the gradual extinction of a debt of ?2,500,000,000 will seriously embarrass many branches of national industry; buif when marked, as arc some features cf the present system, by great inequality and unfairness, it will be a wonder if many.pursuits do not decline and die under its withering: operation. The people of the rlorlh arc already giving their attention to the diminished prosperity which at present attend the pursuit of great branches of trade which were formerly very successful and growing, but which have since, and during the war, ceased to he the wealth-creating machines which they were previously. The Commissioner of the revenue,"Mr. Wells, has lately made a report oh financial system of the Government, which is attracting considerable at ! tcntion, and its views and opinions arc being noticed at length in many of the public journals. JIc slatethat, while the ejast of suh.-istmee lias advanced ninety percent., 1 lie wages ofla.bor.bavo only increased sixty. This fact exhibits moat strikingly the impoverishing ('feet which a heavy system of taxation lias in diminishing the limited means of I fie laboring classes. Massachusetts has suffered ?the decrease in the nuiiiberof hands employed in many branches of the ! i-ottoil ihaniifaeture i:i that Slate having veaehist iiiiriv-o-c per cent., am! in the assumption of raw cotton iil'iysi.*: per cent. One of the most striking feat lives of the decline.Iwis been in tiie shipping interest, which, before the war, was the pride and boast of the country?the registered tonnage engaged in the foreign trade, having i in live years, failen oh'over fifty per rent., and formerly exceeded that of (heal: llritain, hut is now thirty-three per cent. less. In November lasi 1 there was hut a single vessel hi. course ?? - I y s . . . t of construction at the ship-yards of' New York, -and only one or two at Boston; and the report says that, in the opinion'of experienced New York ship-owners, "that no voyage, with an American vessel can be planned at the present time from'the United Stal es to any foreign port with a reasonable expectation of profit.'"' "In magy branches of manufacture" (the report states " the internal rates of taxation, superadded to the high prices paid for raw materials and for labor, sweep nearly all the profits into the coffers of the Gpverninent." Charleston News; Wf JOB ISMAIY Fradsey, 25, , The District Ccurt3. The system inaugurated by the estnhlhhnient'of these Courts, will soon bo in full operation throughout the State.. Though how,to us, similar courts have boon established in, ,we believe, all the States of the Uni'on, and in most of them have been in operation for many years. In England, also, .courts of this description have long bevn usefully employed in tho administration, of justice, and in- some form or other, courts of limited and local jurisdiction have prevailed wherever the common iaw has extended. In South Carolina the want of such courts has long been felt, and as early as 1785 county courts were established to meet tho demands of just ice. After an experiment of a few years duration, they were abolished as impracticable ou account of the sparseness of the population and the difficulty of procuring competent judges to preside over them and administer the laws. Under the system of society prevailing hero until the adoption of the present constitution, tliepolico 5f tho country, and the criminal law * affecting more than three fifths of the people of tho State, were administered under the military latf-s, and tho courts of Lin gist rates and Freeholders. The majority of onr people had tlion no civil rights and owed no civil duties?they could neither contract nor be contracted with?sue not ba sued, nor could they it old or transmit property, and hence wero never seen or heard in a-civil court. , Now, all this is changed. The same personal duties and liabilities) aro <heirs, us ours, and under the operution of the laws of-Congress, to which ;those of the State have prudently been made to eonfbrm, -they have ac-. ess to tho samo tribunals o^ustice to secure those rights "-"'1 /vnCnrnn tlm nrvrfnr'nm'npf! r,f those mill .UUiUiV/W Uiv ? duties. The elfec-t of those lutVs would havo been to rnoro than double tlic number of litigants,.and the business o: the superior courts. The District Courts, however, wiil meet this increased demand for justice, civil and criminal? Their jurisdiction is .exclusive in jili easels of larceny ^ud misdemeanor, vagrancy and bastardy. They have common law jurisdiction, concurrent will: the suprerior courts^ in a 1 civil causes not involving the title to land, in whicl: the amount claimed does not exceed one hundred dollars, which sum limits tlu summary process jurisdiction of both courts'. Though the proceeding in sucl eases in the. District Courts is by summary process, yet tho defendant is cn: titled to an imparlance, and judgment cannot be rendered before the 'second teun of tho court. In tho suporioi courts judgment in summary proci-r. eases may be bad a: tho first term.? By tho Constitution^the District ('ouri I lias jurisdiction in all civil onuses whorein one, or both of thojvirties, are person? of color, and of all criminal eases where! in the person aceu.-ed is a person ot'eolI or.

If acquitted, and the judge is satisfied, that tho pros-! edition was witnout pronaoie cause, ho may order the prosecutor to pay the | costs of tlio prosecution. A new item of costs in the District Courts consists ' of a-docket fee of one dollar in civil cases, invqjja&g less than fifty dollars, and two (fonars if .the sum demanded exceeds that amount', two dollars in every criminal case, and the like sum for the report of the judge in case of "appeal. A traverse of a criminal case in tho courts does not operate to continue it until the next term.
