LOUISIANA CRoPs.-Louisiana planters are
in good spirits. They have been remarka-
bly, favored in gathering their cotton and the
cane has ripened well. One planter has al
ready made seventy-fve hogsheads of sugar
in single week and will make altogether
this season 400 hogsheads. The Baton Rouge
Adocate, 5th inst, says:
The cotton picking is pretty generally
finished, and but little remains to be gather
eel. The general frost has stopped the ma
turing of the few unopened bolls, and the
tale of the cotton crop is told That it will
reach a million of bales is question open
and debatable. Some think it will not, and
few, if any, claim that it will be in excess
of that number
The Houma Sivic Guard, of the Sd, has
the following:
Since our last issue several planters have
commenced rolling From all we can learn
the yield peracre will prove an average one.
The weather continues very fine.
Cotton pickers have had a splendid season
for saving their crops Cane has magnif-
ficent season for ripening. Hay makers have
been greatly favored. Gardens have been
thirsty, but where they have been properly
worked, they have not yet suffered much.

From Washington.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-The following was
telegraphed to to the New York Times by the
special correspondent from this city: Chief
Justice Chase called at the White House this
evening and was closeted with the President
for about an hour. Before his departure, Mr.
Seward, Governor Randall, Mr.. McCulloch
and Mr. Browning arrived and remained in
consultation with the President until 10
O'Clock. 1t is believed that this meeting was
for consultation upon most important sub
ject based upon sn effort now making by
leading men Oh all parties to induce the Pre-
sident lin consideration of general amnesty,
to induce the people of the South to accept
universal suffrage with qualification either
of property OF intelligence. Prominent Sou
them men are cooperating with the Repub-
licans and Democrats in this effort.

LEGISLATURE of North

| The Legislature of this State assembled in
this City on Monday last See proceedings
of first days session in another part of this
paper.
In the Senate, Hon. NJ. E. Manly, anti
Howard amendment and old secession Wing,
was elected Speaker; and in the Commons,
r. Y. McAden, Esq. anti-Howard amend
ment and old secession Wing, was elected
Speaker. Neither of these gentlemen has
been regarded as belonging to the original
secession party, bnt they are identified with
the Worth Vance Graham faction. They
are i'll this State what Stephens is in Georgia
They began to fight late, Were not thoroughly
subjugated, and now want their rights p
They will be apt to get them. Personally
they are clever gentlemen, and will make
good presiding officers.
The Union men of course had no showing
in the organization of the two Houses. Their
very touch is regarded as communicating to
the chivalry." When they attempted to
make choice between those in nomination,
the more bitter of the jeff Davis Radicals at
once left the candidate voted for by them,
and went to the most ultra Radical in nomi-
nation.
1t is a significant fact that though both
the Speakers referred to the peril in which
the State is placed at this time, no allusion
was made to the American Union That
concern is considered absolete by those in
power in this State. Judge Manly was
pleased to say that 'our liberties were not
oohOlly lost" With the exception of the
nameless horror of the CONSUMPTION and mob
law, We move amid the same scenes breathe
the same atmosphere, and hear the same SEN
timents we heard during the rebellion.
The message of Gov. Worth will be sent
in to-day, Tuesday. We expect to publish
it in our next

known, the public no longer hesitate what anti

Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun.
The President and COngress---PositIon
of MIR. j ohnSon-HiS future Course.

| WASHINGTON, Nov ii, 1866.
The following is portion of a commune
| cation addressed by member of the Cabi-
net to friend of the Administration in New
England in relation to the position of the
| President and his attitude towards Congress-
| The writer says: Notwithstanding his
| long public career, few men seem to be less
understood than President Johnson. That he
! is man of strong convictions and earnest
! purposes is evident from the manner in which
he advocated and pushed forward important
| measures in Congress like the homestead
bill and the stand he took against secession
and in favor of the Government during the
late civil war. He believes that the manner
in which he proposed that the Government
should deal with the Southern States was
not only a magnanimous one, but the only
one likely to result in speedy and hearty
reconciliation between the two sections: and
he has felt it to be his duty to sustain his
views by the exercise of such powers as the
Constitution had clothed him with But
while this has been, and doubtless will con
tlnue to be, his course, he will violate no law,
nor fail to perform the duties which are leg
ally devolved upon him. He will veto every
bill that he may regard unconstitutional, no
matter how unpopular it may be for him to
do so. But he will execute with unscrupu-
lous fidelity all laws, and especially those
to which he has declined to give his official
sanction.
THE apprehensions which you seem to
feel, and which many others share with you,
that Mr. johnson will attemptto force South
ern representatives into Congress, or do any
other imprudent thing by which the public
peace will be disturbed is entirely unbound
ed While he will exercise fearlessly the
power which he possesses under the Consti-
tuition in furtherance of the measures which
he thinks are best calculated to promote the
public veal, he will not quarrel with Con-
gress for pursuing the same Independent
course. He regrets the disagreement between
the Legislative and executive branches of the
Government, and would, doubt not, yield
much to effect reconciliation. He will not,
however, sacrifice his principles. nor violate
the Constitution, according to his interpreta-
ton of it. no matter what pressure is brought
to bear upon him. He means to do right as
he understands the right, and will trust to
time for the vindication of his course He
will be as true to the Constitution and the
Government as President of the United States
as he was true and steadfast to the Union il
the darkest days of its trials
