The Herald’s Fortress Monroe correspon¬

ell. Each still lives on the expense of Uncle 
Sam, and lives well. Each occupy the same 
casemate alioted them on their entrance here. 
Each daily read the newspapers and other ad¬ 
ditions to his reading matter allowed him by 
recent orders, and smokes hib pipe, and that 
with agreeable relish. Each takes his hours’ 
daily walk, and while enjoying good health, lives 
in the expectancy and hope of soon being tried 
and learning bis fate. 
Seeing in the papers an extract frorfi a letter 
from Jeff. Davis to Mr. Gillett, one of bis coun¬ 
sel, may give some an impression that he is al¬ 
lowed freedom in writing letters, which is not 
the case. He was allowed to write the letter 
referred to, by the Secretary of War, and this 
was read, and is the only letter he was allowed 
to write. He has grumbled a good deal on this 
score, but the grumbling has done no good. 
As to his trial, the impression prevails here 
that itwill take place directly after investigation 
is concluded in the case of Capt. Wirz. Where 
he will he tried is less a settL d question than 
ever.

From South Carolina. 
Late advices from South Carolina represent 
that the question of suffrage may prove some¬ 
what embarrassing to politicians in settling the 
basis of representation in that State, 
A strong party (says a recent correspondent 
from South Carolina) will he in favor of fixing it 
on the white basis: while the low country inter¬ 
ests have heretofore controlled the legislation of 
the State by the preponderance in slaves. 
To insist now on the negro forming any por¬ 
tion of the basis of representation will be more 
or less compromising upon the question of 
negro suffrage. 
The Herald’s Charleston correspondent of the 
20th, says: — There have been recently arrivals 
from tbe interior of large stocks of cotton and 
considerable numbers of planters, and the busi¬ 
ness of the city has experienced a very encour¬ 
aging revival. The planters are loud in their 
complaints that since the colored people have 
been emancipated they have generally deserted 
the plantations, and cannot he induced to work 
except under the compulsion of the military. 
In consequence of the desertion of the negroes, 
the planters say that the cotton and corn crops 
of the State will give little more than half an 
ordinary yield. 
It is estimated that through the havoc and 
repudiation consequent upon the rebellion and 
its failure, and from the emancipation of the 
slaves, the value of property in South Carolina, 
which was $400,000,000 in I 860, has been reduced 
to $50,000,000 at the present time. 
The test oath required by the act of 1S62 of all 
persons on entering upon the duties of a United 
States officer, has given rise to much discussion. 
Gov. Perry, while at Washington, was given a 
list of the various Federal offices in South Caro¬ 
lina, and was requested to nominate suitable men 
to fill them. The Governor’s appointments are, 
with one or two exceptions, ineligible in conse¬ 
quence of having held office under Jeff. Davis. 
The mustering out of troops continues. The 
interior of the State is being gradually stripped 
of its garrisons. The country people are some¬ 
what alarmed for fear of trouble with the freed¬ 
men, the report being that all the troops in the 
State are to be withdrawn. 
Considerable political excitement begins to be 
manifested in various parts of the State. 
Affairs at Washington. 
Orders have been issued to muster out 
thirty more regiments of infantry, cavalry and 
artillery. 
The temporary frame hospitals and other 
buildings in tbe city, which cost the govern¬ 
ment on an aggregate about one million dollars, 
(the occasion for their use having passed away 
in the termination of the war,) are being sold. 
Buildings which cost Government $45,000, are 
now selling for $5,000. 
The Acting Second Comptroller has decided 
that hospital stewards of the regular army, dis¬ 
charged before the expiration of the period for 
which they enlisted, are not entitled to nnac- 
crued installments of bounties. 
The wife of Louis Washington of Biair, Ya., 
is now importuning the Government for the res¬ 
toration of their farm, which was confiscated 
in consequence of the rebellion of her husband- 
Lonis Washington is a relative of the Father of 
Lis Country. 
The Secretary of the Treasury represents that 
the Government is in an easy condition as to 
funds. The receipts of Internal Revenue have 
been fully equal to the calculations heretofore 
made. 
The income receipts on the 81st ult., were 
larger than those of any previous day—$2,411, • 
115.25. 
Returns received at the Provost Marshal Gen¬ 
eral’s office 6how an increased activity in recruit¬ 
ing for the regurlar army. Regiments which a 
few months ago numbered only two or three 
hundred men now number five, six and seven 
hundred. Many volunteers • who have spent a 
short time at home among their friends, are 
again entering the military service of the United 
8tates. The regular regiments are mostly to be 
employed at the West. 
Among the many mail routes recently estab¬ 
lished by the Postmaster General, are the fol¬ 
lowing:—From Nashville to Johnsonville and 
Tennessee News Items. 
The N. Y. World has the following from 
Nashville, Tenn., dated the 31st ult.: — General 
Steadman has issued an order forbidding post¬ 
masters, express agents and letter carriers to 
deliver letters or packages to persons who have 
not taken the oath of allegiance in his Depart¬ 
ment of the State. 
Col. Enos has been appointed Superintendent 
of the Chattanooga Railroad by the Company. 
Major Thomas Cowley has been appointed 
President of the Western Tennessee Railroad, 
and Major H. H. Taltnadge has been appointed 
Superintendent. 
Captain Kirk, the notorious guerrilla, who 
was to have been tried by court-martial for the 
murder of General McCook in 1S62, was shot in 
prison by the guards. 
Major-General J*lin H. King has been ap¬ 
pointed commander of the “ Department of 
Augusta.” _ 
Advices from Mexico. 
The Tribune's Matamoras correspondent 
Bays the French are very touchy concerning a 
war with the United States, and brag greatly. 
They say in case of war with Mexico, so long as 
it was under French support, 50,000 men could 
be thrown on the line of the Rio Grand at once, 
which we could not hope to fight with success, 
even with two men to one. Also, they say a 
force of 26,000 French could be marched into 
the interior of the State. 
The Estafette, the French organ, declares the 
Empire a failnre, and advocates a French Pro¬ 
tectorate, or tbe country must be absorbed by 
tbe United States. Mexican independence, it 
says, is impossible. There is continued fight¬ 
ing, with frequent Imperial disasters. The patri¬ 
otism of the people is Increasing; the prestige 
of the French troops is gone. 
The breach between Maximilian and the 
French is daily widening. 
The French expect a war w’ith the United 
States in a short time. 
The clergy generally are in open opposition 
to the Empire. 
There are numerous hands of Confederates in 
the city of Mexico. What they are waiting for, 
aud how they live, no one knows but themselves. 
Kirby Smith is near Matamoras on a planta¬ 
tion owned by a planter from New Orleans. 
All, apparently, have lost confidence in*the 
Emperor Maximilian.

From tlie Far West. 
An exploring party consisting of Prof. Den¬ 
ton, Geologist, of Boston, Major Hitley aud 
others, have reached here, (says a letter from 
Denver of Ang. 30 ,i returning from an expedi¬ 
tion through Western Colorado, beyond the 
Rocky Mountains aud Utah. They report that 
they have m&de important discoveries of coal, 
petroleum and shale on the proposed ronte of 
the Pacific Railroad. They also bring dispatches 
from Gen. Hughes’ corps, constructing a new 
wagon road to Salt Luke, which will shorten tbe 
distance fully two hundred miles. 
The people of Washoe and along the Placer- 
ville route, are greatly disappointed at the 
change, as It effects their Interests unfavorably. 
Opinion gains ground that under the present 
plan of building the Pacific railroad it must be¬ 
come, when completed, a very expensive monop¬ 
oly, having the power to charge such rateB for 
freight or passage as may necessarily retard the] 
development of the country traversed. 
Newspapers urge that as the Government fur¬ 
nishes means for constructing tho road, it ought 
to induce its army engineers and soldiers to take 
entire charge ol the work, and complete it 
speedily ou Government account, thus retain¬ 
ing the road in the hands of the Government 
when completed, making it one of the cheapest 
roads in the country, which would result in mak¬ 
ing it an implement in the developement of the 
agricultural and mineral wealth. 
We have but few changes to note, this week. The mar¬ 
ket remains firm. Mess Pork has advanced 50c Batter
