The other parts of the county have hitherto escaped this frightful malady. Should the disease extend the landed proprietors have expressed their readiness to subscribe in order to supplement the assurance fund. A meeting was held on Saturday at the Shire-hall, Bedford, and a mutual assurance association was formed.  fact, so freely have pardons been bestowed that a regular trade has sprung up in them in Washington, I and brokers send circulars round the South offering to get a pardon for any one on receipt of $6OO or $7OO. This system whs brought to the President's knowledge last Sunday, and he was so annoyed at it that he has refused to entertain any fresh applications at pi esent. lie has ordered the "go-betweens" to be rigorously hunted out, and is much vexed at having been already imposed upon in so many instances.  The Boston " regenerators" are again urging Mr. Johnson not to hasten the work of reconstruction. The Abolitionists are probably the real originators of this new crusade against the South, but it cannot be denied that there is a large class who do not pretend to love the negro as a brother who think the South is being restored too rapidly. Perhaps this sentiment was put in a more moderate form than ordinarily in a remark made by a shrewd observer of events :—" It would be well to give the Southern people time for calm reflection. The whites and the blacks should have the opportunity to accustom themselves to their altered relation; and gradually the masters would accept their new responsibilities. A good provisional government and a standing army sufficient to repress disorder would have been best for all." The Boston people go further than this. As in their first address, they cry out for negro suffrage, as if that were a panacea for reconciling all differences of race, class, and station, and argue that if the masters are not willing now to look upon their slaves as free labourers, they will be perfectly ready to do so when the blacks are placed on a political equality with themselves. This reasoning continues to be unsatisfactory to moderate men of all parties. Two circumstances have occurred within the last few days, which show that there is every disposition to deal fairly by the negro. One is that in North Carolina on a trial for murder the evidence of two black witnesses were received, the Judge overruling the objections taken by the counsel on the ground of colour. The other occurred in this city.. A black woman was walking along the street, when two men pushed her off the path into the road. She asked what they did that for. They answered because she was black. They made the same defence before the magistrate, and it was so unsuccessful that they were sent for two months each to the Penitentiary.  Many statements have been made to me with regard to the quantity of cotton now in the South, but for the most part they seemed so little worthy of trust that I did not feel justfied in repeating them. They were generally, to the effect that larger stocks of cotton have been hidden in the South than was commonly supposed, and the [supposition is borne out by the receipts which have latterly taken place in this market. A published return makes out that 103,648 bales arrived here during the past six weeks, and that last week alone 19,404 bales came in. The same authority, and I believe it to be a good one, says :—'• At New Orleans, on the 11th inst., there were 81,568 bales on hand, with large daily receipts, and the stock at Mobile is also considerable, though it is kept down by the deficiency of inland water transport to fetch it from the interior." It has been estimated that there were:so,ooo bales in Florida at the close of the war. Altogether, it is becoming evident that there is more cotton in the South than people here conjectured, and, as the means of internal communication are .estored, whatever there may be will soon find its way to market. Many planters are said to be sending down cotton to be warehoused at New Orleans, dreading the constant raids which are made upon their property by discharged Confederate soldiers.
