Hamburg, South Carolina, were ar? rested yesterday, for ref using?to allow the freedmen to hold a political meet-: in g iu Union Church, in that town. They are to be tried before ?flifc? commission at Aiken, to-day, by or? der of Gen. Canby. Mayor Watkins, of Columbus, and all the Aldermen, have been removed fotai office by Gen. Meade. Captain M?la, United States army, appoint^ Mayor. ? < The grain crops, North of Atlanta, are very fine J but in middle and South-west Georgia, the rust has mads its appearance. AUGUSTA, May 29.-The Centra] Executive Democratic Committee calls a convention? in Atlanta, on the 22d Joly, to consult on matters ol' general interest, and, if nbeohsary, to nominate an electoral ticket for President and Vice-President. WAH HIN OTOH. l\>?y fro ?-L?te yes? terday, the House passed a resolu? tion establishing a prison in the Capitol, and plaoing Woolley there; he is to be excluded from written or verbal communication, except by order of the House. Schofield's nomination is con? firmed. The confirmation was. pre? ambled with the reaffirmation of the unconstitutionality of Stanton's re? moval. Internal revenue receipts to-day $1,000,009. The diversity of opinion on the admission of Arkansas is becoming more marked, and the probabilities of her admission over a veto is de? creasing. No Republicans object to the Constitution itself, and the points of difficulty apply to all the Southern States. lu the House, a resolution adding three Democrats to the Corruption Committee was lost-53 to 65. The resolution committing Woolley to solitary confinement was discussed very bitterly, and a resolution was offered to reconsider. Fending the discussion, the whole matter was tabled. The House then resumed the Indian appropriation bill, whioh was discussed until the hour of ad? journment. In the Senate, the citizens of Georgia presented a memorial against the removal of the State Capitol; re? ferred to the Judiciary Committee. The President of the South Carolina Convention presented a petition,, asking authority to call the Legisla? ture of that State together; referred to the Judiciary Committee. The admission of Arkansas was resumed. Edmunds moved to re-commit the bill, with instructions to Judiciary Committee to report by bul, plaoing that State under the newly eleoted officers, and continuing it under military authority, with provisoin for its admission when the fourteenth article becomes a part of the Consti? tution. Edmonds said that as soon as a State was admitted, Congres? sional power would cease, and the State Government would have no? thing to lean upon, except the shoul? ders of the President. Conkling spoke against the conditions. After executive session, adjourned. The ataircase of.Niagara Falls, de? scending to the path leading under Table Rock, tumbled down a few days ago.

A correspondent of ?he Charleston Neu>$ writes as fo?flTfS : COLUMBIA, S. C., May 26.-Affairs ia this locality, especially those of a political nature, begin to be of inte? rest. The recent D?mocratie Oonven tioa, so-called, which assembled hore, has.borne fruit. Whether it ia of the Dead Sea order or not, remains to be, tested. Upon the republican platform, to the extent of conceding qualified suffrage to the colored maa, clubs have been organized in many localities in every one of the twenty four Districts represented in that Convention, and the work still goes on. A very considerable number of the respectable colored men of Co? lombia havelikewise formed ? Demo? cratic club, and similar organizations exist in other localities. The mem? bers know each other by a peculiar sign and pass-word, and it is designed to give each one on joining, a hand? some certificate, stating the foot, and recommending bim to the considera? tion of the community. The Executive Democratic Central Committee are working like beavers. Colonel Thomas has editorial charge of the local paper, and stirs the po litical fire incessantly and well. Facta, statistics and opinions ar? gathered and forwarded to Washing ton, to strengthen, if possible, thc protest made in person by the oom mittea daring their lato visit to tin capital. It cannot be said that ma terial benefit has accrued to ourselve aa the result of this visit, bat th? gentlemen composing the committei are satisfied that they have done tin public special service, in laying on cause before so august a tribunal a Thaddeus Stevens and his reconstruc tion cabal, and in directing the atteu tiou of the press of the North to ou unhappy affairs. General Wade Hampton will un doubtedly be selected as one of th delegates to attend the National De mocratio Convention, whioh assen bles in New York on the 4th of Jnbj I am unable to mention with certoii ty the name of any other person. Th representation of South Carolina i that Convention by gentlemen of to great an eminence-especially greatness attained by their heart identification with our cause dnrin the war-however much it may satisl ourselves, will, it is feared, do mot harm than good, A distinguished New Yorker, wi was in this city but two or three da; ago, and who is likewise a delega to the National Convention, exprea ed the hope that those comparative unknown at the North would be se thither, in preference to the famo men whom we delight to honor, b who on that occasion would bocon the target of vituperation, and. I taking on active part in deliberador actually become a thorn in the si' of the Democratic party. There a many who believe we shonld refra from seeking any alliance of the so: until the platform has been fram by the North and West. Local affairs are interesting outsi of the city only as they indicate t sentiments of tho Republicans. T Democratic candidate for Mayor Colonel J. P. Thomas. The "V Populi" have nominated Major Jo Alexander, "a bonnie Scotch mai and a most estimable citizen. It believed that, notwithstanding hiss vices for the Confederacy during t war, a t-.ajority of the Republic* will sustain him. In like manner, t Republicans will sustain Major D. Miller, the presont efficient Clerk the Court. The tyranny of put opinion hounds him because he 1 allowed his name to be used by " niggers" as a candidate. Yet Ma Miller carried the first company fr Columbia into active service, and i cripple for life from wounds reoeiv His record on the Southern sid? the house is as good as that of mi of his fellows; whilo on tho Repu can side, it seems to have been misfortune to havo acted in s< I good faith towards tho colored \ pie, as to secure their respect i support. Dr. Neagle, tho Comptroller, ( doze, the Secretary of State, E. K. Jillsou, the Superintendent Education, DeLarge, the Sena and others, officers elect, have gat! ed hero, and are making arrai menta to pitch their tents. T. J. Robertson is said to k "open house," and is the kindest "perlitest" man in the whole cc try to every individual that ow vote likely to be cast for him i candidate for United Statos Sent He is as keen as a briar, and boa friends at work all over the SI wining, dining, &o., thu new n hers. The general impression is that Sawyer will be his worst a gonist, but that if Robertson is e ed, Rutland, of Fairfield, a candi of about 250 pounds avoirdu] Trill, in hi? dioappuiuluieut, trip np and roll on him. The conte a very active one. Lieutenant-C nel Willard is declared to be a ct didate for tho Superior Court, Moses will undoubtedly bo an the supremes. The Speaker of House will probably be F. J. M Jr., the Inspector-General. The Senate will, of course presided over by Lieutenani vernor Lemuel Boozer. There suspicion that D. H. Ckambei th? Attorney-General, will opec litigation some of the many eas contract based on Confederate cur? rency, and so cree to a financial roTolution; bat mach will depend on the oharaoter of the BUrrorrodings. In short? the devil ia to. par* and there ia avery large cauldron of p'ftoh h?VbQ Legislature will not be eon vened by General Canbr. rxnfil wan days alter the signing of the ratifica? tion bill by President'Johnson, or its passage ojrer bis veto by the House._ PRESTO. LMMIOKANTS AT NEWBIBBY.-The first batch of any considerable num? ber of German immigrants, (says the Newberry Herald, of the 27th. inst.,) i arrived here on Wednesday last, nnder the |care of the Rev. T. 8. ! Boineet, the energetic persevering and working President of oar Immi? gration Society-about twenty-two i In nnmber, stoat, rosy-cheeked, in? telligent-looking . men, women and children. Their arrival was an occa? sion of great interest to the commu? nity, and, ?'ueu viewed as the fore? runner of a large and continued influx, we cannot bat reel gratified at the prospect before ns-an increase of white population, greater prospe? rity, enhanced value of property and more abundant products. Under the title of tho "Steam Bird," Mr. J. H. Symthies, of Pad? dington, England, barrister at law, proposes to introduce a "flying steam engine," fitted with wings, flapped by the action of steam. Liquid fuel is to be used, and seats are attached for one or two passengers. COLUMBIA AI ARK. KT. Report for Week ending Friday, May 29. FBCBKIX OFFICE, COU:MU?A, S. G., MATJ30.
