@A Affairs in Alabama are represent
ed by our exchanges in the interior as in
a better condition than almost any of the
cotton States. With few exceptions, the
people are well satisfied with the order
Of things, and bend every effort to re-
claim, as far as may be in their power,
the losses Of the war. The freedmen re-
alize that work is necessary for their sup
port, and readily enter into contracts for
the year at from seven to ten dollars per
month. Considering all circumstances,
the agricultural prospects of the State
are excellent. Planters are entering in-
to cotton raising on a large scale ; the
freedmen work with alacrity and the
most favorable results are expected. La
Dor is fully equal to the demand. Saw
mills and factories are being restored and
built. Strangers are cordially welcomed
and meet with all the information and
assistance they desire. 100

t PLANr1NG IN M1ss1ss1PP1.-Es SouM-
ern Cyltivator The prospects OF the
Prairie Planter are somewhat be- inningto
brighten. The negroes are taking more
interest inthe crop and working much
better under theirnew regime. than we
had supposed they would. About one
half of the best laborers left the praries
during the Christmas holidays ; this re-
quired planters to offer better inducements
to laborers to remain, and l think about
one half of the prairie lands of Mississippi
will be cultivated. Cotton will be plant
ed to the exclusion o~ffverything else, all
through the cotton STATES !; and when the
heavy tide of emigrtion sets Southwark
next summer and fall, provisions will ne
cessarily be high. For a full and entire
development OF Southern resources, dur
ing this day Of her metamorphosis, full
granaries are more essential than repre-
s%entation in Congress, as it is. j. G.P
EGYPT STATION, NJ. & 0. R. R. Miss,
Feb. IL, 1866.
There is a suggestion in the above
which is worthy the consideration of our
planters. That provisions will be high
next fall is a conceded fact, especially in
the article of corn. This should be well
borne in mind before the planting Of the
grain begins. Putting in a good crop OF
corn will pay nearly as we'll as cotton,
and if the caterpillar should visit us this
season, it will be something to fall back
upon, and it will bring a good market
price. Planters putting in large crops Of
cotton to the almost exclusion of corn
should seriously reflect upon this. It is
not enough that corn should be planted
alone for their own use, because there
are many Others wholly dependent upon
them for their supplies. Too much "cot'
ton on the brain " may sometimes prove
a deficiency in another part of the body.

From Baltimore.

BALTIMORE, August 16.-The great steamboat
opposition on the Chesapeake Bay, which has
been carried on for the past fifteen months, be-
tween the Old Bay line and the new OIL cary
line, was to-day terminated by settlement
which involves. it is said, the payment to Ar
cher O'Leary and G. K. Garrison, of New York,
OF $780, 600, and the transfer by the old line of
the fine steamer George Leary, the old line now
being left in possession of the valuable Balti-
moIe and Norfolk routes.
The dedication of the National Cemetery at
Antletam, which was to have taken place on
the anniversary of the battle, on September
l6th, has been postponed for one year in conse-
quence of inability to have the necessary ar
rangements completed in season for the coming
anniversary.

Scenes and Incidents.i

There i5 no very perceptible improvement in
the appearance and accommodations of the
Wigwam this morning, although IN the way OF
ornamentation there are added stuffed eagle
with spread wings, and a small and inferior
lithographic engraving of Andrew Johnson
behind the chair.
At about halfpast nine O'Clock the spectators
and delegates commenced bling, and great
running and scrambling ensued to procure
seats. Those seated in the gallery were
not before debarred from communication
with the floor, but to-day a long board
railing extended around the entire auditorium,
precluding the recurrence of yesterdays diffi
cult of crowded gangways. At twenty minutes
TO ten the Chairman of the Convention, Mr..
Doolittle, entered, accompanied by the would be
Governor (Clymer), Crowen, of New JERSEY.
and Senator CoWan. They were loudly Gp-
plauded.
The great feature of to-day's session was the
probable appearance of Alexander H. Stephens,
and at the entrance OF every crowd OF delegates
their features were eagerly scanned through
opera glasses by crowds of gorgeously attlred
ladies, who took advantage of the fine weather,
and were looking beautifully.
The delegates were collected together in
groups of five or six, and conversng pleasantly
with each other. Particularly motto cable
among these confabs was a social chat between
Doolittle, Reverdy Johnson, and other noto-
rieties.
After the meeting was called TO order, at
eight minutes past ten, the blessing of God was
invoked IN an eloquent and impressive prayer
to the God of Nations, by William Reed Snyder
OF Barnegat, an apparently very young, though
earnest man.
The enunCiauon of the principles OF the Con.
yentlon was presented to be read by Henry j.
Raymond, and after each paragraph the Secre-
tary was interrupted by uproarious applause.
After the reading of the fourth clause the
Convention arose to a mau, and the excited
delegates gave vent to their enthusiasm in
stentorian cheers. There was a recurrence of
this grand scene after the eighth resolution.
On reading the tenth resolution-an express
sion of confidence and respect in Andrew John.
sons policy-a scene of unexampled uproar
ensued.
This was The last resolution, but 1t was dis
covered that one resolution had been omitted.
This was the seventh resolution. 1t was read,
and proved to be of vital Importance, as 1t
related to The Institution of slavery
The resolution declared 1t TO be the wish OF
the Southern people that it no longer exist
within the borders of the Southern States. or
within the jurisdiction of the United States."
The other resolutions had been passed unani-
mously. This one was also submitted and
passed with no dissenting voice.

THE new ORLEANS RIOT.
Opinion OF a Distinguished OiIlcer.
THE REBEL POLICEMEN TO BLAME.

distinguished General, high in position in
New Orleans, has written private letter to this
city, under date of August 10, from which we
are permitted to make the following extract
This city is quiet at present, but there is no
security for Northern men, except in the mill
taTy control. II the troops were removed there
would be no security. In the late riot, the
police did nearly all the shooting and stabbing
as is shown by the result, for no policemen were
killed, and only two or three were wounded by
firearms. Counting contusions, and all the num-
Der OF policemen wounded will not exceed a
dozen; while the negroes and Convent,onsts
killed are at least 'orty, and the wounded about
two hundred. There is no doubt in my mind,
as to who were the rioters. The inve- -tigation
will establish IL on the policemen. These people
profess to be Mr.. Johnson's friends, but they are
IN fact hio worst enemiesn
