I had hoped that they would have shown themselves worthy of freedom, and by cheerful industry and an honest hfe, would have merited the in creased confidence and sympathies of their -friends. But so far from this being the case, they are actually occasioning a feeling of an- Xioty far'the peace of the country. To such -nn extent does this exist, that in the judgment . Of the best informed officers and civilians.it 'would bo madness to remove the troops from •ur midst,' at least for some time to come. Wc ■de net wish to see' the re-ensetmont in this country, of tho horrors which attended the mutiny in India. As to the district militia, they would bo utterly inadequate unless aided by a regular force. A distinguished officer remarked to me r««eat!y, that he thought the ' present force should be doubled, and I fully eenenr with him. To withdraw the military *. heferetbe country (the freedmen especially) settles down Under the new order of things, would bo like driring an unarmed man into a jungle infested with tigers, or like throwing overboard tho passengers into a sea filled with •harks. It would be a crime against human ity, and a crime not ignorantly committed, for the military an in possession of facts which nood not be ventlktod in your paper. .As a citiiea, I rejoice at the prospective restoration « of civil authority.* * As a lover of peace, I am v grateful for tho good order which has been maintained by the present garrison. And as m friend of both racee, averse to the useless - -shedding of blood, I would deprecate any line ■of policy which would lead to terrible eonfiicts and feerfbt disaster. And such would un- questioeably follow the premature removal of . tin troops. EFF.

Truth ia Guo’s instru ment for the establishment of the permanent happiness and prosperity of man. While falsehood was the introduction of Satan’s lever for the overthrowing of the benevolent designs of God towards the human race. But truth has never lost its power. While error and falsehood have ever bi ought distress and misery upon their votaries and bound them iu oppressive chaius, he who has chosen truth for his portion has found it his guiding star in the way of prosperity, the harbinger of free dom, and the protector of such true spiritual liberty as ealls forth the sweetest songs of praise from the pure and holy, both on earth and in Heaven. But notwithstanding its en lightening and elevating power, its source, and divine authority, truth has found its opponents in all ages of tbe world. It has only been able to eome down to the present generation laden with its rich fruit by facing the most violent oppoeition, and wading through rivers of blood. But galling chains, gloomy prisons, furnaces of fire, and tbe oppressor s sword, have been proved incapable to extinguish the light of this golden lamp of Heaven, which Goo in mercy has given to a benighted world. In man there is a wonderful dispoaition to love that which approves of his chosen course ia life, and bate that which brings to light his errors and reproves him for hia sins. More than eighteen centuries have past since one appeared in the land of Judea, who, though be was meek and lowly in heart, yet gave to the world the clearest evidence that he was possessed of that power which in the world’* primeval state said “let there be I ght and there waa light.” Although hia life ana works gave evidence of his Divine nature, and his instruo- tionl were clothed with ail the purity of the leve of Heaven, and his most inveterate ene mies were compelled to acknowledge that never man had spoken like him, yet this great teach er who eame from Heaven, and wielded the two-edged aword in the most skUlftd sad pow erful manner, by ito use called forth haired from the wicked, revenge from the vile, sad death-plotting schemes trea those who made tho kighoet profession of godliness of all men oa earth. The proud Pharisees, who made a high profession of their love of truth, eould not boar tho sight of their own deformities when they beheld them in the mirror that tho Son of God boM before their eyes. When to their own view waa revealed them ••Wee resembling garnished sepulchres, fair indeed upon the outside but inwardly full of oorruption.
