MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER S.

The New York Herald urges the merch ants
and business men Of the city "to hold meet
ing for consultation, and select q strong COM
mittcc to 60 to Washington and prevail upon
the President to use his influence with the
South to secure their acceptance OF the constl-
:uti0nal amendment, as means OF preventing
The Radicals from destroying the country
Is that it? Why the Radicals say that is the
leaders-that if the constitutional amendment
could be adopted, they would still go on dc
&lroying."
IIr. J. W. Forncy, in his letter, in the
Washington Chronicle of yesterday, predicts
that Gen. Gearys majority for Governor Of
Pennsylvania will be largely over twenty thou
sand. and that the Radicals will secure sixteen
or eighteen Of the members Of Congress from
that State. His letter is in the most cyultant
and iubilant stran--wrtten in the style Of an
expected conqueror, and is full Of oy,espccially
at the anticipated triumph over the President
who is abused in the roundest terms.
The Memphis Appeal calls for 4 convention
Of delegates from all the States of the South to
meet at some central point to vindicate the
Southern people from the aspcrsons cast upon
them by Northern Radicals What good would
such a Convention do? What citec; would it
have in restraining Radical violence? None
whatever.

The Polish Archives Preserved.
THE SECRET GOVERNMENT.

The Pal Nal Gazette says that the Polish emil
grants resident in Paris, and especially the
Society OF Polish priests which have been formed
in that city, have succeeded, though not'without
great difficulty, in preserving the diplomatic
archives of the famous and most mysterious
National Government. The collection includes
great many very interesting and important docu-
ments concerning the relations between Poland
and Rome. These have been sent to the Pope.
The National Government appears, according to
these papers, to have been neither clerical nor
revolutionary. 1t was, above all, national.
Without troubling itself with the question OF the
temporal power, or being mixed up in any way
with the intreues of legitimists or reactionists,
the secret Government of Poland shared the SEN
timents OF the whole of their countTymen in re-
gard to the oppressors OF their religion and
liberty, and professed q natural attachment for
the head of the Catholic Church. Among the
documents sent to the Pope are to be found au-
thentic copies OF the addresses which the Ma
tional Government sent to his Holiness IN 1868
the first of which was seized by the Austrlans on
its way to Rome, while the second was sup
pressed by the messenger TO whom 1t was m
trusted. The religious principles of the myste-
rous body which for two years carried on the
Government of Poland, and which was blindly
obeyed by the nation are set forth IN the instruc-
tions given to the faithless agent who made
away with the second despatch. proof is thus
supplied that there was really no foundation Tor
the assertions of the Russian and Prusslan au-
thorites that the last nsurrection was OF an alto
geJher revolutionary cha racter,
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1866-01-25

From the Tribune.
So many have written us asking information
as to the prospects and profits of oottonplanting
at the South that we propose-being unable to
answer their inquiries specifcally-to set forth
the little that we know on the subject, leaving
every one interested to make what he can Of it.
The leading facts are as follows;-
/. Cotton is now selling at prices nearly equal
to 40 cents in gold for Fair Upland, when IL is
known that the average cost of producing the
staple does not exceed 10 cents (gold) per pound.
This is the great fact.
2. Cotton land is abundant at the South, and
may be bought or hired at moderate rates. Five
millions of bales Zone million tons) OF the staple
were grown In 1860; and it is not supposed that
more than half so much will be grown in 1866.
And, if not, the price can hardly fall below rs
cents (gold(.
8. Labor is abundant at the South. and good
cotton hands can be hired there at $40 to $40 per
month"; besides shelter, meal, and meat. And at
such prices all that can BE- obtained for cotton
over ten cents per pound ought to be divided
between rent and pront.
4. The negroes will gladly work for employers
who are likely to treat them well, as they lin
their innoCence) suppose all Northern men will,
OF course. Some of them, who have been cruelty
treated of old, and especially those who have
been cheated out OF their earnings since they were
free, are reluctant to engage with their old mas
tiers or other Southerners; but even these can
generally find hands il they will. If any choose
to employ whites, they can generally be suited
by making proper etfort.E
5. AS to location, we think well of Arkansas,
Southeastern Missouri, West Tennessee, Northern
Georgia, with portions OF Alabama, Florida,
and Texas, South Carolina, lower Virginia,
Mississippi, and the greater part of Louisiana,
seem to evince bitterness, sullenness, and
vengelul brooding over the downfall of slavery
and the Coniederacy. We presume this spirit IS
not universal, even in these localities; but 1T is
certain that there are many neighborhoods, and
even whole count es, wherein immigrants from
the North would not be allowed to hire negroes,
buy land, and grow cotton Undisturbed. But we
cannot undertake to say positively where such
immigrants would, and where they would not
be welcomed. Personal inquiry must determine.
Suffice 1t that we are confident he who chooses
to grow cotton, kno VS. no and has the requi
site means, can easily find favorable location.
s. As to going South without money, or with
very little, and trying to grow cotton, we could
not recommend it. No one must expect to do
better in year than to double his capital what
ever it NAV be. ...
4 AS to time, it is not yet too late, but soon
will be. A month hence will be too late to set
out.
8. Whoever puts seed into the ground braves
the risks OF frost, drouth, hail wind, insects,
etc. etc. Nothing future is absolutely certain
but we believe growing cotton in 1865 affords
as fair prospect of profit as any other business
on earth.

Business Interests Worth the Attention OF
Congress.
From The World.

From the WoTtd.
The political situation and the temper of the
majority of Congress are such that we take it
for granted those who have on intelligent inte-
rest either in the prosperity Of the United States,
or of Canada or the British Provinces, or in free
dom of commercial intercourse between them,
have abandoned all hope of the resHsctation OF
the Reciprocity Treaty. Whatever arrangement
is made for the future, and some Arrangement
onght speedily to be made, between our Govern
ment and the Canadian Commission OF which
Mr., Gait is the head, must, as we judge, be based
upon The present facts, and not upon the old
Reciprocity Treaty. Were such a conclusion 10
be at once adopted by the Commission from our
Northern neighbors, they would successfully rid
themselves of the trouble OF encountering the
mass of intelligent opposition and unreasonable
prejudice which united in terminating the pre-
sent treaty arrangements. Taxing up the sub
ject de nOuo, there will doubtless be large,
difficult, and conflicting interests to adjust, but
these will be managed easier than they would be
If the adjustment were TO be based upon sub
stantial renewal of the old treaty.
How vast the Importance of this subject Is
to the commercial prosperity of the United
States is to be judged by comparison of our
intercourse with our northern neighbors and
our intercourse with other foreign countries.
We have been at the trouble to collect the
figures necessary to such comparison from
the "Report on Commerce and Navigation" for
the year ending June 80, 1864.
The following table Is a condensed summary
of the statistics in that volume, and shows the
tonnage and the exact proportion of American
vessels which cleared for and entered from all
The ports of the United States, for the ports of
the world, during the year ending June 30,
1864 -

VESSELS WHICH CLEARED FOR AND ENTERED FROM THE
AFOREMENTIONED COUNTRIES.
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1866-01-25

These figures exhibit as nothing else can the
Importance and the vastness Of the interests
which the termination of the Reciprocity Treaty
leaves unadjusted and requiring adjustment.
More than half our whole American tonnage
is here to be seen clearing for and entering from
the ports OF Canada and the British Provinces
east OF the great lakes to say nothing of British
Colum bia. And it might be added were we not
concerning ourselves at this moment exclusively
with the interests of the United States in the
narrowest sense, that to the aggregate of foreign
tonnage entering and clearing from our ports,
the tonnage of Canada and the British Provinces
bears a similar proportion; the total foreign
tonnage entering being for the same year 8, ,47i,-
219, and clearing being s,74l,l ,l3l, Tothese mon
strous figures our northern Deighbors contribute
respectively l,446,957 aud l,724,993.
The second table exhibits these same people
buying and selling us about one-teuth of all we
buy and sell with all the world outside our own
boundary lines; more than we buy or sell with
the Spanish West Indies; double what we buy
and sell with Hamburg and Bremen; more than
double our Il tai exchanges with France, aud
more than all we buy and sell with Mexico,
Brazil and China put together.
To these vast and real interests we invoke the
attention of a Congress engaged in stirring TO
flame the smouldeImg embers of civil strife

Curious Statements about Italian Bri-
gandage.


Naples letter writer says:-"Curious details
reach us from the CalabrRs as to the daring
character OF bIigandage, and the sympathy
which it receives from the country people.
About the beginning of the month information
was received that portion of a band was con-
cealed in house near Catanzaro; but the mas
ter OF the house, man siXty-eight years OF age,
denied TIE fact, and no incident would have
followed had not his daughter been observed to
remain tiXedly near a rock close to the door.
This awakened suspicion, and the girl being
compelled to remove, the stone underneath was
uphted and discharge of musketry from be-
meath saluted the soldiery.
''Ihe firing was returned, and when it was
found impossible to induce the brigands to sur
render sulphur and tagos were thrown in.
The first who came out was the mistress of the
chief, then the Chief called CoTea, and two of
his faithful followers, Dardano and Trapasso
Brought Immediately to trial, one hundred and
fifteen crimes, many of them assassinations
were imputed to them. Correa and Trapa5so
were condemned to death, and we're shot on the
l4th amid the great rejoicing of the population.
The woman was condemned TO twenty years of
hard labor. Correa, formerly in the Bourbon
army, was one of those who were impludently
dlsbanded in 1861, and in addition to his other
crimes might have committed many more, had
it not been for his capture, as the cavern was
found supplied with provisions enough for
twenty men for six months.
"The statistics of brigandage in 1864, pub
lished by the Italian Minister of War. show that
it has diminished, while they prove its ferocity.

@A company OF capitalists is exa:
mining the falls of the Coosa above
Wetumpka, with a view to erect an
extensive factory at that future Lowell
OF the South. This will be but
the pioneer of others. for the situa-
ton at Wetumpka being once de-
veloped, nothing can prevent that
village from becoming the manufac-
turing seat OF Alabama.
Gentlemen from New Orleans de-
clare that the peace of that city was
never so perfect as at the present
time Since the recent riots there
has been no disturbance of any kind,
and all the stories of negro insurrec-
