AMERICA.

Our adviess from New Tort are to the 22nd nit.
A Charleston correspondent states that the majority
of the South Carolina planters, though so recently
the most unoompromming advocates of slavery,
have already begun to look on emancipation as
really a benefit to them, and are inclined to the
opinion that compensated labour will in the end be
far more profitable and satisfactory to the land-
owners of the State generally. Meanwhile it would
appear that there is considerable ill-feeling in
Charleston between the soldiers and the citizens,
and we learn that there have recently been some
breaches of the peso°, in which the coloured
peeplc of the city, as well as the coloured soldiers,
have been mixed up. General Bennett, the post
commandant, has consequently found it neoreary
to issue special orders, requiring all citizens to
deliver up fire-arms in their paeesion, to refrain
from assemblages and noisy demonstrations on the
streets, and to remain at their homes after eight
o'clock in the evening. The soldiers are also re-
minded of their duties, and warned against the
perpetration of any outrages or the exhibition of
any discourtesy to the people.
The Herald of the 19th says :—" The health of
Jefferson Davis is said to have been failing rapidly
of late, though he is supplied with plenty of fresh
air, good food, and such opportunities for exercise
as the contracted limits of a Fortress Monroe ease-
-1 mate will permit. It is also said that one of his
eyes is almost entirely blind, and that the other
gives indications of soon becoming so. The only
reading matter allowed him is the Bible, to the
i perusal of which he devotes considerable time, and
he is not permitted to write or receive any letters."
