TELEGRAMS, «ce. The New Orleans Picayune of the 20th states that several gentlemen who have trayeled jately through Texas, concur in the opinion that there will be a very large crop of cotton raised in that broad Stete this year, some, in fact, th the crop will be larger than in any previous season. Their statement is that the freedmen are generally hiring for the year, while the high prices of cotton have stim: the large namber of emall farms throughoat the State—the thousands of Germans, espe- € whobave done without negro labor for frome yests--to devote their energy and skill to the cultiyatian of the fleecy staple. From the Maiamoras Hamchero of the ist instant, further details of the capture ot Bag- were received, with the additional report that General Canales, of the Liberal ok bad connseled bos men to accept no aid or in avy Way toaffiliate with the Yankee fllibusters. The ous Tepresentations of the lawless oter character of the Bagdad affair ‘s confirmed, Property that could not be readily conveyed aeross the river was de- stroyed, and it was reported that two Ameri- can ladies were killed, and two children, on their way to market, robbed and murdered by negroes. Several Frenchmen, citizens of Bag- dad, bacfbeen assassinated. ‘The House of the Kentucky Legislature, ata Inte ses Ppointed a committee to investi- le by General Fisk, in his tispeech, about discharged negro sol- sbumefully abused at Lexington. ment, allowing General Fisk to be Leard 11 Lis own defence was adopted, but the General was denounced as aliar and slanderer veral members. Le Savannah Republican reports that the 1 Railroad will be completed from Sa- vanuah to Augusta from the Ist to the 10th of February, when the trains will run through to Augusta, Atlanta, and nd other points in Georgia, placing Savanuah once more in full connection with the North. Affairsin Virg' The Lynchburg (Va.) contract for carrying the ton, N. C., to Whitlock, ifax county, Va, 18 been awarded by the Postmaster General to barles H. Walker, freedman. In view of the fact that so few white persons can take ibe required oath of oflice, we think is would be advisable in our country friends who are deprived of mail facilities for this reason, to eelect some reliable freedmen on each post route, and prevail upon him to contract for swuirying the mails on such routes, We pri sume that fewinstances will arise among th class, where conscientious scruples as to swallowing the “test oath,” will prevent those selecied from thus serying the public. A letter was received in Petersburg, Thurs- day froma gentleman in Mexico, who an- nounces the arrival in that country of General Early. He rode on horse back in disguise from Lynchburg to Galveston, Texas, and thence took ship 'o Havana, was wrecked, and finally reached that city, and after a short stay suiled fur Mexico. The people of Rockingham, at the railroad meeting at Harrisonburg, on the 20th, passeda reeointion in fvor of an efficient stay law; one that would protect the debtor, and af the same hme allow the creditor to collect the interest on old debts and secure the principal. A number of gentiemen from the North have recently purchased aiarge body of land in Warwick county, adjoining Elizabeth City, and near Hampton. They design entering mto the wool and lumber business upon a large scale. A meeting of the Presidents of the various Southern Railroads, forming the great through tine from Lyachburg to Memphis, will be held in Richmond in a few days. The object of the meeting is to arrange a through schedule of prices for travel and freight, and to take into consideration otuer important maters per- laining to the companies inguteresty The Danville papers announce the arrival of &# fire engine intended tor that town, and now call upon the City Fathers to give them gas.

A Richmond correspondent of the New York Herald, writing on the 25th inst., says: A wember from Virginia, now nwaiting ad- Mission into Congress, telegraphed here last night that it was the purpose of the Presiden: to place Virginia under a Provisional Govern- mént, Various surmises are afloat as to the cause of this change in the policy of Mr. John- son. I have heard a prominent Senator at- tribute it to the defeat of Charles W Lewis for the Secretaryship of the State, and of Francis J. Smith for the Treasursnip. Some few members of the Legislature disclaimed in behalf of the Governor any predilection for either of the above parties; yetitis well knows that so far as Colonel Lewis is concerned, he did not intimate a wish that he would be re- elected. The friends of both parties make ou that this is a proof of disloyalty, and that their ostracism is the result of loyal sentiments knowingly entertained by Messrs. Lewis and Smith during the period of rebel ascendancy Whateyer the cause, the detriment is very serious. The yery intimation has set the brokers to work, for Scarcely had the despatch been received than an advance in the rate of interest was made, and by consequence a de- pression in all branches of trade. The firet impulse upon the receipt of this news was &@ popular request, thsough the me- dium of & mars meeting, to the Legisiature to dissolye and go home; but by way of amends for past blunders the Legislature ignored their action in respect to the Presidency of the Orange and Alexandria Railroad, by declaring the office vacant. The Senate declared, by re- solnts t John S. Barbour was duly elect- ent of this road, while the Governo: cial message, by an official pree vote, proves Jameson and Quigley elecw@. It would appear, moreover, from the tone of the Governer’s message, that Barbour, in bie estimation, is deemed ineligible, because of his intimate connection with the late rebel- lion; but he does not base his objections to the Senate's declaration of his ele on that score, bnt upon the broad and just ground of the insufficency of votes. Whatever may be said regarding ‘he peen- ar political predil ons of the members ot the present Gene Assembly of Virginia, a more s+}fish and less patriotic body never dis- graced the State. With theexception of Judge Joynes, of Petersburg, in the House, and John H. Lee and Col. Gray, of Rockingham, in the Senate, scarcely a shred of compromising spirit 6 visible, They legislate with peculiar refer- ence to their domestic interests, utterly regard- less of what the State may suffer by their in- discretion. The admonition of a lapse into a sttte of provisional dependency may awake these worthies into the acquiescence of some measures looking to the good of the State.

This bill, if it meets the approbatien of Congress, will clothe the Board of Police with extraordinary powers, and such as are inci- dental only to a municipal corporation. And not only does it materially increase the already heavy expense to this city of supporteng the police, but likewise proposes toappropriate the money of this Corporation to the use of the board for a contingent fund. I regret to add that I was in a hopeless minority in opposing the objectionable features of this bill; and thata request to let us havea copy of the proceedings of the last meeting of the Board of Police, showing by whom and what votes of its members the objectionable features were retained, was unanimously re- fused. Respectfully, &c., RicHarp WALLACH, Mayor. [Accompanying the Mayor's communication Wus a copy of the objectionaole bill prepared by the Police Commissioners :—The bill pro- vides that the chief officer of the police shail be called major; the sergeants shall be calted lieutenants; the roundsmen sergeants, and the patrolmen privates. In addition to the present officers there shall be appointed one captain of police, who shall be inspector of the force, and act in the absence of the major; one clerk in the office of the major, who shall have charge of the records of the sanitary detail; twenty additional sergeants, and fifty patrolmen or by the } privates. The compensation of the major to be $1,600 per annum; of the captain, secretary, and property clerk, $1,200 per annum; of the elerks $1,000 each; of the commissioners and surgeons $400 each: of the lieutenants $700 each, of the sergeants $650 each; of the privates $600 each: of the treasurer and detectives $30 each.
