The New York Tribune publishes a long report, read by H. W. Beecher to his congregation, of a meeting between Hon. E. M. Stanton, United States Secretary of War, and General Sherman, on the one part, "and a number of colored class leaders, deacons and divines, on the other." This latter body chose "Garrison Frazier, a colorey which Mr. Beecher himself could employ. Of course the sentiments expressed an opposition to slavery and to the rebel Government, and warm friend ship to the United States. Being asked in what manner they would rather live,--whether scattered among the whites, or in colonies by themselves,--the reply was that they would prefer them, and the young men would enlist. It is my opinion that it would be far better for the State agents to stay at home, and the enlistments to be made for the United States under the direction of General Sherman." General Sherman having retired, the question was asked: "What is the feeling of the colored people in regard to G

The leading commercial and manufacturing men in the North must look with considerable solicitude at the anticipated consummation of abolition triumph in those States whose peculiar products have made the United States one of the first commercial and manufacturing nations of modern times. The probable amount of cotton and rice which will be raised by free labor is a most interesting question to solve. At best, it is not certain that voluntary negro labor will equal the amount produced bive to an active life. If it should turn out that, after becoming free, they will work no more than is necessary to supply the few wants of man in a fertile country, it would be a sad trial to the commercial and manufacturing interests. The United States would, in that event, be no longer the great cotton and commerce Republic, and would become a very commonplace, Canadian kind of country. Its decline in material power and greatness would be compensated, however, by the elevating considerati

; and there fore we promise such systematic measures, in this regard, as may seem to be necessary and proper. 5. "That we have unshaken confidence in the ability, patriotism and devotion of President Davis; and applauding him for what he has accomplished in furtherance and support of our country's cause, we would cheer and sustain him in the performance of the high duties of his responsible office. 6. "That the appointment of General Lee as General-in-chief of the Armies of the Confederate States is received by us with great satisfaction; we confide in his ability to use to the utmost possible advantage the means placed at his disposal; and we trust that he may be preserved from all peril, to glorify with us the only Giver of all victory. 7. "That with reference to the employment of negroes as soldiers in our army we defer to the opinion of the General-in-chief that it is expedient and necessary — and therefore we will not withhold from him such an element of strength; it b

Important from Mexico. [From the New York Tribune, March 6. Advices received in this city through private sources from Mexico state that the war in the United States is attracting the special attention of the Imperial Government. The police are directed to arrest all who express their sympathy with the Union cause, and one man, named Valders, has been sentenced to a year's imprisonment for speaking favorably about the United States and predicting the speedy end of the rebellion. The Imperial Treasury is constantly getting lower. The hostility of the church party to the Emperor Maximilian is on the increase. The friends of the Juarist caan for delivering the passport to the American Consul at Matamoras is the non-recognition of the French-Austrian authorities in Mexico by the Government of the United States. The Times also says that it is reported that Generals Caraval and Cortinas are marching on Matamoras, where General Mejra, with 4,000 troops, awaits thei

. We presume the company would not have risked its property by leaving it at so exposed a point as Hamilton's crossing unless they had felt satisfied that some understanding had been come to with the enemy that it would not be molested. The common report was, that the enemy would interfere neither with the road nor the tobacco while this bacon tobacco traffic was going on. The whole thing seemed ridiculous enough, it must be admitted; but there can, at the present time, be no report so absurd as not to find believers. The loss of the tobacco is a small matter. There is much more of the article still left in Richmond than either Government or people know what to do with. The negro soldier bill. House bill to increase the military force of the Confederate States by putting negroes into the army was passed by the Senate yesterday by a majority of one, with an amendment limiting the percentage of negroes between eighteen and forty-five that shall be taken in each State.

the Seventeenth Pennsylvania cavalry. The affair took place near Middletown, thirteen miles south of this town. An order has been issued discontinuing furloughs to officers and enlisted men. This looks like an early resumption of active military operations. From South Carolina--a flagship sunk. A dispatch from Philadelphia, to the Baltimore American of Monday afternoon, gives the following, which is all the Northern papers have from Sherman's field of operations: The United States steam transport Massachusetts has arrived. She reports that our naval forces captured Fort White, a splendid work, mounting seventeen heavy guns, situated just below Georgetown, South Carolina; after which the sailors and marines landed and captured Georgetown. The rebel cavalry made a charge on them in the streets, but were gallantly repulsed, with a loss of several killed and wounded and some prisoners. Our loss was one man killed, belonging to the navy.
