Btailitiet of the Bunerior Court for PRICE TWO CENTS. ALTIMORE7 SATURDAY MO.RNING, DECEMBER 30; 1865. OS'S" I Advice of General Curtis to Virginia Freedmeu. On Sunday night Major. General Curtis, by request, delivered an address to the freedmen of Lynchburg, In the i African "church in" that city.

The Virginian gives the subjoined sketch of his remarks: The General stated that hehad been frequently inquired of by letter and in person on the streets, end at his office, respecting the subjects that he proposed to to wit: the rights, duties, Sc, of the colored people. In the outset, he told them that they were free and that no human power could remand them to bondage. But there were reciprocal duties involved in their new They must hire to their employers for fair compensation, and remember that the condition of the country and of their former' owners was such as to preclude the possibility of their receiving extravagant, wages for their labor. He told tnem that they would be required to labor and would not be permitted to rove about and depredate upon the people; that Lhey lead moral lives; and re--spect their marriage vows more than they had done, and that it was their interest to keep their race pure. He said that in engaging with farmers they must hire themselves bytne year, a9-a shorter term was too precarious and uncertain for the farmers, who might be left without labor at the very time when it was needed most.

He encouraged them to make contracts, which the white man would be compelled to abide by, and they also would be required to fulfill. These obligations, he said, must be mutual. He said that the legislature of Virginia would doubtless confer upon them the right to testify in court; and thus, protected in person and property, they would have all the rights that white men have, except those political franchises of which it did not become him to speak, and with which he had nothing to do. In -reply to an interrogatory as to whether, in the construction of the new courts for freedmen, the coloied people would be obliged to select as their representative in the court a citizen of the county, or would be privileged to a "Yankee," he told them they had better select some honorable gentleman, a citizen, well known to them; and that he felt assured, by the results of his observation and conference with gentlemen of high respectability, there was every disposition to do them justice. He said, moreover, in connection with the labor question, that if they refused towork for the white people, laborers would come from other sections to fill places, and thus deprive them of the means Qf living.

There were plenty of white men, he said, who did not consider labor dishonorable, and they would come to work the Southern lands. He told them that he supposed the idea that they were to have any portion of the lands and houses of the white people was pretty well exploded. They could get nothing but what they work for, and those of them who had good homes, with former masters, should remain where their services are desired and will be remunerated. A delicate allusion was made to the vague reports of meditated insurrection, atd the general told them that even though they had three thousand stand of arms they could not succeed in a revolt twenty-four hours, before the power of the government would be felt to repress them, and that such a purpose, carried out in practice, would be the rioeni wf tneir race. Wo Lave thus attempted, only what was promised, a mere outline of the general remarks, which were both timely and judicious, and seemed to be well received by his auditors.

Such addresses from the representatives of the government, all over the State, would serve to dissipate many errors, and result in much good to the people, both white and colored. The Relations of th United States with Mexico. The Washington correspondent of the New York Times writes: correspondence of onr government with France in regard to Mexican aftairs will be sent in to Congress as soon as that body resumes its session. Unless I am misinformed, it will not answer the anticipations which have led to the cfi'ering of some of the resolutions that have passed in Congress, inasmuch as it will show that our government has at no time had any purpose or thoiigut of abandoning the Mouroe doctrine. On the" contrary, it has pursued the coarse which seemed most likelv to secure the practical FROM WASHINGTON.

Tns attorney general's office. Wash' Dec. 29th. Attorney General Speed, in asking an appropriation for contingent expenses, says that the carpets and furniture of his office have been subjected to a largely increased amount of wear and tear from usage by the large number of applicants for pardon, who from day to day frequent the office, so that much of the carpeting is tattered and worn into shreds, and new carpeting is needed more now than ever. sorghum convention.

An order has been issued from the War Department, revoking one heretofore issued on the same subject, ar.d providing that military division ar.d department commanders will reduce the civilian employees in the several corps and staff departments of the army, within their respective commands, to the possible number.

At all posts, stations, and place? wh ire troops are on duty in sufficient nam iters to furnish details to take the places of civilian emplovces without injuriously affecting the efficiency of the ti oops for the strictly military duty required of them, the civilian employees, except clerks, will be discharged and extra duty men substituted for them. When civilians are retained preference will be given to persons who have been honorably discharged from the military service, those disabled by wounds being first preferred. All civilian employees who have not been in the military service will be discharged as fast as thc-y can be replaced by those to whom preference is given in this order. Department commanders will see that no unusual or unnecessary number are retained, and that every facility is given for properly and efficiently guarding and protecting the public property.

Wilmington, N.

iec. 29. The fScers of the Equal Rights League (colored) have published an address in Wilmington, disclaiming the secrecy of the organization, and saying that the object of the league is to secure, by political and moral means, as far as maybe, the repeal of all laws and parts of and National, that make distinctions on acconnt of color. They add: This is our object in all its and breadth. We, therefore, aspire to the condition and privilege of freemen.

Is not this a nationalaspiration? Is it not the dictate of self respetr "We ask an opportunity to be shown Worthy to be free, or propose to attain the condition and privileges of free men by becoming intelligent, bv industry, by virtue, by nietv. If the object is a noble one, worthy of free men, the means proposed for attaining it are moral ana poaceiui. We disclaim the remotest calculation of en forcing our claim by Does any one sug gest insurrection? irown upon mm ana denounce him. The address closes: "We do pledge oui selves to maintain good order. Our arms, ana our lives necessary, are at the service of the government, to quell and inaurrectioD.

Having done that, we shall demand of the lawful authority protection for our property, schools, presses and churches."

LOCAL MATTERS. Tear's Day. Monday will be the first Xtic day of the new year, but although the Legisla ture of the State has made it a legal holiday, there will be no general suspension of business. The banks will be closed, and as a matter of course all notes maturing on Mondav must be paid to-day. To a more or less extent the making of social calls will be indulged, as very many of the ladies are sepposed to be "at home." for the day.

Being the commencement of the year 18C0, doubtless large numbers of the business men of the community will make it the occasion for a fresh start in the great "race of life," but all should attend to sottling up the old accounts before entering upon new ones. Traders and all others wiil expect bills to be settled, and as payments in one quarter supply the means for payments in another, satisfactory liquidations may be reached all around by promptitude in the beginning. Many may resolve to lead a difl'erent end better course of life than heretofore. To-morrow (Sunday) evening; the customary "watch-meetings" will take place in all the Methodist Episcopal churches, when the old year will be taken leave of and the new one inaugurated. The city offices will be closed on Monday.

Statistics cf Trade tcith the South. The trade between Baltimoie and the South, particularly the nearer portions of that section of our conn-try, has been steadily on the increase since the close of the war, as is evidenced by the large number of fine steamers and sailing vessels at present employed in the trade. The first arrival from the South, after the close of the war, (beyond what had been the army lines,) was about the latter end of April, when the little steamer Emma Dunn, from Richmond, came into port with a cargo of tobacco and cotton. Since that period, up to the close of business yesterday, there has been received at this port by steamers and vessels bales of cotton, of whtch 2,048 bales came from Richmond, 1,503 bales from Savannah, bales from different points in rsortn Carolina, oi Daies irom JNorioiK, 413 Dales from Petersburg, and 322 bales from Charleston. Of tobacco the i eceipts have been 17,515 packages, 5,554 boxes and 1,780 cases manufactured, and 3,923 hhds.

Besides the above, immense qumtities of shingles, staves, lumber, dried have reached this market from the rivers of North Carolina and Virginia, all of which have found ready markets. State Convention of Colored Men. This body met again yesterday morning Bishop Wayman in the chair. Lewris H. Douglass Imd William E.

An address to the colored people of the State, adviEing them as to their duties as citizens, was offered. Several committees reported; the 'one on finance recommending the payment of $25 to George T.

Mr. Seward, in reply to a letter from a number of New York merchants on the Chilian-Spanish difficulty, soliciting the friendly intervention of the United States government to mitigate the ruinous losses likely to occur to our commerce by this trouble, siys that the good offices of the L'nited States have already been tendered to that effect, and are still continued, not without hopes of satisfactory results.

Arrival of Capt. Semmes at Washington. Eaphael Semmes, late Commander of the Alabama, arrived at Washington on Thursday night, in charge of Lieut. Lyman P. French and Sergeants Cassidy and Jones, United States Maiines.

and was at once taken to the Navy Yard, where he was placed temporarily in a room hastily fitted up in the dispensary building over which a guard was placed. Ue will, how. ever, be moved from his present quarters to more commodious quarters adjoining the Chapel, new being fitted up for him. From the Star we take the following in relation to his arrest: He was arrested at his place, Spring Hill, about four miles from Mobile, on the evening of the 15lh by Lient. French and the sergeants above named, on an order from the Navy Department, as he was sitting quietly in his parlor reading a paper.

Lieut. French, on entering the house, at once informed him of the object of his visit, at which Semmes expressed great astonishment, and claimed that he had been paroled, and ihst this arrest was in violation of the parole. Lieutenant French made the circumstances attending the arrest as pleasant as possible, and informed his prisoner that he would allow him until twelve o'clock the following day to arrange matters with his family, which privilege he accepted, and at noon on the 10th he announced himself as ready (having taken leave of his wife and three daughters,) and the party at once proceeded to New York via Mobile and New Orleans. On the passage he was quite cheerful, and talked freely about his arrest and of his conduct during "the war, and his prospects of an early tiial, expressing himself willing to stand the trial, and arguing against the legality of his arrest. Semmes has the same look of audacity for which re was noted in his vounser davs here.

He wears a moustache and imperial, which are perfectly white, while his hair is yet dark. He is now about 50 years of age, and is about 5 feet 8 inches high, of rather slender build, and is dressed in a pair of gray pants, vest and coat, and a dark overcoat. Pardoned. We understand that John Lamb-son, of this county, has been pardoned by the President. His interest In the estate of his father, was confiscated, in Jnne, 1864, and was advertised last week, to be sold In January.

A part of the estate was sold en Wednesday, and brought over one hundred and four thousand dollars. Mr. pardon relieved him from any loss bevond the few dollars of costs amnrmtinT establishment of that policy, and at the same time save the country the expense of another war. The whole matter will now be handed over to Congress for its action, and if that body sees fit to insist upon a more hasty solution of the problem, even at the cost of war, no obstacle will be placed in ils way. The whole responsibility wiil be placed on its shoulders.

MuRiEnors Outrage. An affray occurred at the Continental, at a late hour Wednesday night, in which Gen. J. T. Owens, who was aoout to start for Washington, Prof.

Rogers, of the University, and Mr. Poultney, a merchant, were more or less badly treated. It seems three persons, armed with pistols, entered the Continental, and one of them, whose bravery was apparently based upon whisky, stepped up to Gen. Owens and said: "Yon are a traitor to your party." The General gave the offensive individual a back handed slap on the mouth, aad then knocked him down. The other two rowdies interfered, one of them drawing a pistol.

General Owens informed them that he was not armed, hereupon the intruders put their pistols in their pockets. Mr. Poultney and Prof. Rogers, who has only one nrm, took hold of one of the fellows, for the purpose of delivering him into the custody of a police officer. He was at once rescued.

Mr. Poultney was knocked down and robbed of 140. His diamond breastpin was torn from his shirt bosom. It was found, however, under his vest. While this was going on.

Gen. Owens, not being on his guard, wa3 again sud- cenjy attacxed ana knocked down and kicked. Prof. Rogers, we understand, escaped Eerious in jury. Philadelphia Press.

Pharaoh's Serpents. This toy, which has been sold in large quantities in this city and else-wLtre during the holidaye, was made the subject of remark by Dr. Stephenson Macadam, at the November meeting of the Pharmaceutical So ciety of Great Britain, held in Edinburgh. He said this "new toy is composed of a highly dangerous and poisonous substance, called the sul-pho-cyani of mercury." It contains two poisonous ingredients, viz, mercury and sulpho-cyauic acid, either of which will kill. By experiments made it was shown that one-half of a six-penny Pharaoh's serpent is sufficient to poison a large-sized rabbit in an hour and three-quarters.

A large dose destroys life, but takes a longer time. Dr. Macadam says: "The toy is, therefore, much too deadly to be regarded as merely amusing, and seeing that it can be purchased by every school boy and brought home to the nursery, it is rather alarming to think that there is enough of poison in one of the serpents to destroy the lives of several children, and the more so that the so-called Tharoah's serpent is covered with bright tin foil, and much resembles, in outward appearance, a piece of chocolate or a cornSt." The Shootino of Joseph H. Edwards at Norfolk. On Wednesday night shortly after the entertainment began at Oxford Hall, Joseph H.

Edwards, the keeper of a restaurant oa High street, came into the hall manifestly intoxicated, and by his obstreperous conduct soon raised a cemmotion. A guard had to be sent for, and upon their arrival Edwards became still more boisterous and insulting. The sentry ordered him to leave the hall, and tried to get him to do bo by coaxing and persuasion; yet this would tot do, so after Edwards had fired twice at the gnaid, he raised his gun and shot him in the right breast, the ball passing out at the shoulder blade, and also bayonetted him in the left aim.
