Advice from the President.
WAsn1SeroS Nov. q, 1865

WASHINGTON Nov. q, 1865.
To Il. F. Perry Provisional Governor:
do not think it necessary for the mem
bers elect for South Carolina to be present
at the organization of Congress. On tt,
contrary, 1t will be better policy to presen
their certificates of election after the two
Houses are organized, which will then be
simple question, under the Constitution,
Of the members taking their seats. Each
House must judge for itself, the election
returns and qualifications of its own mem
bers. As to what the two Houses will do
in reference to the oath now required to be
taken before the members can take theia
seats is unknown to me; and | do not like
TO predict. But upon the whole am Of
opinion that it would be better for the
question to come up and be disposed or az
ter the two Houses have been organized.
/ hope that your Legislature will adopt a
code in reference to free persons of color
that will be acceptable to the country, at
the same time doing justice to the white
and colored population.

The Hon. Littleton Tazeweil, who haG

The Government has restored all the rol.

The venerable College of William and
Mary, at williamsburg, It Ia said, has suf-
fered more severely from the cfeCts of the
war than any other literary institution in
the South. The total amount of the losses
including destruction and damage to build
ings funds lost, ect., is estimated at over
$4,000. The Norfolk Day Book states
that the Board Of the College have deter
mined to make an appeal to the English
nobility aud gentry to aid in the resuscita-
ton Of the institution, which, having been
endowed by royal munifcence and the pri-
vate liberality Of Englishmen, is calculated
to awaken mora interest in England than
any other literary institution in America.

Symptoms Of Returning Reason.

One Of the most fagraatly "loyal" journ.
nails published in this city, the Nation
makes the following comment upon the
withdrawal of the rewards offered by Stan.
ION for the capture Of fucker, Sanders
and Co.."
The rewards offered last spring for the
capture of Tucker Sanders and Co., have
been withdrawn. i is to be regretted thai
the grounds for suspecting them Of com.
plicity in the assassination were not more
thoroughly sifted before price was set on
them. The total failure of'the government
to connect either Of them or Davis with the
crime suggests the conclusion that the
proclamation was issued without due
consideration.
The Democratic press which six months
ago should have stated this obvious truth
even in SO milkyJmild form, would have
been denounced rom Dan to Beersheba
FORTS sympathy with secession" if moi
With assassination. But little by little the
night breaks up, and the daylight comes
back to us. It is possible that at no dis
tant day Republicans may be found capa
bile Of comprehending the full extent Of thu
shame inflicted upon our national charac
ter by the whole course of this man Stan
ton towards Davis, Clay and the other lea
ding Confederates who fell into his hands
shortly after the crime Of Booth and til,
collapse of the rebellion.-N. Y.Worid.

Gen. Fullerton's Report on til,
state Of things in Louisiana.

The Washington correspondent Of tho
New York Herald, in dispatch dated
November 10th, says:
Gen. Joseph S. Fullerton returned to-
day from New Orleans to this city, after
an absence of little over six weeks, du-
ring which time he has been temporarily
acting as Commissioner Of Freedmen for
the State of ,ouisiana. His observations
and experience, while serving in this latter
capacity, have convinced Gen. Fullerton
that no able-bodied negroes in the above
State need suffer want, If they will avail
themselves of the demand for labor, which
I is represented to be largely in excess Of
the supply, and the wages greater than any
Western farmer could afford to pay the
same hands. The planters in all sections
| Of the State are anxious to produce heavy
crops, and are picking up nearly all the la.
borers available and willing. not only in
Louisiana. but through agencies for that
purpose in Texas and Mississippi. All
classes of citizens are said to be anxious
for an infusion Of Northem capital; and the
prejudice reported to exist against the en-.
gagement of Northern men in the asricul.
tural or mercantile pursuits in the State is
grossly exaggerated. But a small proper.
ton Of the planters are able to command
much ready money. end these gre obliged
to contract with the negroes for labor by
allowing certain number of shares in the
crop produced. Such planters as have
funds are those who deposited considerable
sums in England at the outbreak of the
rebellion, and this class are offering liberal
wages to all the hands that offer themselves
for employment. In the main, General Full,
lerton regards the affairs Of the citizens and
negroes throughout the whole State as EN-
inently satisfactory and progressing towards
complete harmony in all their relations.

which they were wrongfully deprived, while
the hero of Big Bethel and Fort Fisher was
