EASTERN NEws.-The telegraphic dispatches
for the last weekare unimportant. The amend
ments to the Constitution, reported from the
Committee Of fifteen, and subsequently amen Ied
in the Senate, have passed the House, and are
at once to be submitted to the States for raif-
cation Judging from the comments of the
Eastern papers, the chance for adopting the pro-
posed amendments is very Slim The radicals

they ignore negro equality, AID union men are

CARRoLLroN, Miss, May u, 1866
In the last weekly Clarion and Stand
ard You take ground in favor of Ma
tional Convention. This l think is
right; in fact, my opinion is that moth
ing else can save US from utter and com
plete ruin. But to enable a Conven-
ton to do it, the democratic party
North must abandon their organiza-
ton. About this l have no doubt
Now, sir, | have been 4 life long dem
ocrat and regret very much to believe
it necessary. have always voted for
the National democratic ticket: for
Jackson in %, for Van Buren, in SO
and 40, Polk in A, Cass in '4S,
Pierce in y. Buchanan in Sc. and
Douglas in 90. But | believe the
time has come when the organization
has to be abandoned to save the
country. Well, if that is so, how can
we be most apt to bring about that re
sultf By sending democrats to the
Convention who are in favor of the
reorganization of a party composed
of all the supporters of the Admins
tration, whether they may have been
democrats, wings, or republicans. l
think a democrat would be more ant
to succeed in persuading democrats
to overcome their party pride and
fraternize with their former enemies
l do not wish to be understood as
saying all of the delegates should be
democrats; but the democrats should
be for reorganization If the friends
of the President attempt to sustain
him by supporting the democratic
nominees, we are gone beyond q con
tingency. For instance, do you be-
heve Mr.. Seward could be elected
Governor of New York, if he was
nominated by the democrats No.
sir; the republicans would curse him,
for having gone over to the dem
ocrats, and wish that his throat had
been well cut. l have taken this as
the strongest case | could think of:
no doubt such will be the case with
all. You can't carry Republicans to a
democratic organization, nor can YOU
carry the democrats to a republican
organization. Then we must have a
new one; and as we are trying to get
into the Union, and the Presidents
supporters are trying to get us into the
Union, why not call it the Union par
ty But / care not what it is called. |
if we can only get up an organization
that will win, that is all | care for.
If you agree with me, there is no
time to lose in trying to bring about |
so desirable a consummation.

A correspondent of the n. o. Time

A correspondent Of the n. q. Times,
writing from Shreveport, May 80,
says:
l have seen and conversed with
many intelligent planters from differ
ent sections of the country, and think
that can give you q very fair state
ment as to the prospect of the grow
ing crop. | find among them a great
variety of opinion as to the prospect !;
one stating as his opinion that there
will be two-thirds of an ordinary crop
raised, others less than half, while
Others again believe that we can
scarcely expect more thaa the fourth
of an ordinary crop before the war
From the testimony of all, and from
what / have seen, l am inclined to the
opinion that in the absence of serious
| disasters hereafter, we may look for q
crop in this section little short of an
/ average half crop. The planters, how
ever, have many serious difficulties to
| encounter. The whole of the Red
River bottoms or pretty much the
+ whole, will have to be replanted, and
may measurably fail The hill lands,
too, will undoubtedly fall very short
on account of bad stands, grass and
inefficient labor on the part of the
freedmen. Such & season as this, too,
is likely to breed the caterpillar, and
other insects and worms, that always
prove destructive to cotton when they
appear.

MILITARY COMMISSION TRIALS lille
GAL.-Judge Nelson, of the Supreme
Court, delivered an opinion some
time since in the case of James Eagan.
a.prisoner in the Albany Penitentiary,
that the trial of a civilian by military
commission, is illegal and the convic-
ton void The Indianapolis Herald,
in commenting on this, states that the
Northern soldiers have keener ap-
probation of the horrors of these mill
tary tribunals than citizens generally.
This is quite natural Many of them
have. doubtless, suffered from mill
tary tyranny, violence and injustice
We have more to expect from the lib
erality, and sense of justice, of the
Federal soldiers than from the men
who skulked from the army but HOUND
ed on the war at a safe distance in the
rear. No people can long preserve
the semblance of republicanism whose
citizens are liable at any time to be i'm
prisoned and tried by an irresponsible
military commission;
1t is gratifying to see that there is
honesty enough in the Judiciary to
condemn these military commission
arrests and false imprisonments, and
we trust to hear no more of these des-
potic inquisitions.
