are on their way to Washington to be
mustered out OF the service. They
are expected soon to arrive. Other
colored regiments will undoubtedly
be recalled shortly from the South, as
the work of reducing the volunteer
military force goes on. It seems to
be the policy of the War Department
to relieve the people of the late re-
bellious region as fast as possible from
the distasteful presence of darkey
guards"
So the work goes on, and before
Congress assemblies it will find that its
occupation in the policy of restoring
the Union is gone. President John
son, with great consideration for that
august assemblage, has taken an i'm
mense amount of labor off its hands :;
he will have reduced the army to a
peace footing, diminished the taxes o
the iaboring classes, put an end to
such unconstitutional measures as the
confscation law, restored every citi-
zen to his rights, and left it nothing
to do but to admit the Representatives
from the South. For this they should
be duly grateful; but should they on
the contrary manifest any dissatisfac-
ton ut his course, they viii find out
that their opposition will be de-
nounced by the people as factious, if
not seditious, and that they had better
submit to the logiic Ct accomplished
facts.-N 2. Metropolitan Record.

From Wnshsc.:c:.

WAsB1NGros, October 24.-Pre>i,lcnt
Johnson received dispatches from 81 Louis
to-day, from Nathan Ramsey, stating that
the Missouri State Convention to sustain
the President, is a glorious success
The Department Of State is in receipt Of
dispatches from the Consul of the United
States at La Rochelle, in which the progress
OF the cholera al that place is ;udei to in
substance as follows: The cl "a seems
to follow the railroad from ID .,scilles cis
Aries and Mines towards Bordeaux"
An interview between the President and
the Secretary OF War, Secretary Welles and
Gen. Grant, yesterday, gave rise to a ridi-
culous rnmor that our relations with Eng
land were about to assume a hostile att;-
tude. and that all our naval vessels were
Immediately to be put in commission.
The Cabinet session to-day was quite
protracted, all Of the members being pre-
sent. 1t is quite probable that the English
question was under consideration. Mr..
Seward was at the White House some time
before the Caoinet meeting.
II is now rumorcd that Mr.. Cushing will
superscde Mr.. Adams as Minister to Eng
land, and that Sir. Adams will return and
become Secretary of State. This change,
for geographical reasons, will involve Other
important changes in the Cabinet
The rumor published to-day about the
trial Of jeff. Davis is sufficiently stamped
as false by the declaration that it is to
take place before the United States Supreme
Court at Richmond. 1t is well known that
the Supreme Court does not even have orr
ginal jurisdiction in cases of treason.

The Metcalf Cotton Case.

NASHVILLE, October 25.-The facts and
documents in the Mctcalf (garnishee) est
ton case at Augusta, Ca, which Will there
be published, contradicts the representa-
tions made by the special Washington
despatch to the New York Times. It is
claimed that the action Of the War Depart
ment was based wholly on legal construc-
ton of jurisdiction, not on any charges Of
wrong-doing. The question Of jurisdiction
is still an open one, and the assertion that
the courts were opening in Georgia is un-
true, for the Governors proclamation open
ing them was not issued until seventy-6ve
days after the date Of the cotton order.
MetcaR was tine rebel cotton agent st
Augusta. The question now being dis
cussed is, whether the cotton is not the
property Of the United States. Instead of
the cotton ordered to be sold for s3O0, 900,
it would have brought sl,70O,O0O. It is now
worth $1,000, 900. Herschel V. johnson,
Judge Stevens, Of Georgia, and ". C. Pat
terson, Of Philadeiphia, are counsel for the
garnishee.
A man named Paine: who has for several
years been the cashier in the Quartermas-
ter's Department, was arrested yesterday,
while en- route for Europe, charged with
defalcations to the Government. He was
released on bail. The case will be inyesti-
gated by the military authorities.

To pardon such Offenders as our Govern
ment has pardoned and yet to keep Mr.
Breckenridge in exile, il he is willing to
come under the prescribed Obligations, is
all unreasonable and unjust discrimination,
according to our opinion. We do not know
what Mr. 3. will or will not swear or promise,
but We would lay our life that he will do

General Steedman, commanding this de-
partment, and General Wilson, command
ing the district, are both in town. They
arc in civilians clothes, and appear without
any display. In fact, there is scarcely any
evidence Of the town being under martial
restriction; certainly none is exercised
over the convention. On his way here
General Steedman addressed the leading
negroes Of an adjoining county, and disa-
bused them of the impression that has
somewhat obtained, that land was to be
divided among them after Christmas. He
urged upon them industry, and that the
blacks remain III employ Of their old mas

for seven districts. A State election was

Late and Important from Mexico.

WASHINGTON, October 23.-The solution
OF the Mexican question will be one Of
the most important, and among the first
matters that will claim the attention Of
Congress, now soon to assemble. Some
authentic intelligence has just been re-
ceived here from that unhappy country :;
and although it is not Of startling, it is
OF an important nature, since it will no
doubt constitute the basis upon which the
President and tho members Of Congress
will act, in their decision Of the matter.
This news confirms all the statements in
my recent letters, in relation to the absolute
downfall and extinction of the Mexican
Republic. It will DO remembered, too, that
the term OF Office for which President
Juarez was elected expires on the 30th Of
November. No pretence, even, Of electing
successor, has been made and it seems
to be by no means improbable that this
fact, and the events which have led to such
state OF things, taken in connection with
the other facts mentioned below, may in
duce our Government, however unwilling
". to bow to the stern logic Of events, to
follow the course that we have always
hitherto pursued, and to recognize the only
existing de Sacto Government II Mo1;;co.
Your readers will remember that some
week ago, Juarez, driven from one portion
to smother, had brought up at last, at Ell
Paso, the jumping of place, and that when
the probability OF his being compelled to
take fight into the United States was sug-
gested, the imputation was vehemently
denied, and even drew forth letter from
Juarez. In that letter, dated at Ell Paso,
August II, he said:
Patoni, Corona and villegra are opcl at
ing upon Durango, Pucbuta, in the State
OF Gnana]uato ArtesSa, Resuler, Salazar,
can; Alvarez, upon Iquala and Cuerne-
vaca Garcia, who has replaced General
Diaz, in the States Of Vera Cruz, Oajaca,
Chiapas and Tobasco; and Escovedo, Man
dez, Cartina and A,suierre, in the States Of
Coahuila while Generals Rosales, Rubio,
Pesquierra and Garcia Morales are operat-
ing in the States Of Sonora and Sinaloa.
All these chiefs are Of the opinion that
the time for attacking the enemy with sue
cess has arrived, for the reason of his weak
ness through the large distances over which
his lines are extended.

The RESURRECTION IN JAMAIcA.-We see
by the late news from Jamaica that the
negroes were in insuIrection in the Eastern
part of that island, and that Il British
steamer filled with troops was sent there
to quell the outbreak. We imagine that
this ''insurrcction" will be found to amount
simply to strike for higher wages. The
blacks have nothing to rebel against except
the oppression of their employers. The
Government which liberated them, we are
them oppressive laws against which they
would be forced to rebel. II is quite pos
sible, however, that the philanthropists,
who have obtained the free labor Of the
negroes for their own advantage, have ex-
tended their philanthropy to reducing the
