The middle course adopted will save the State from anarchy and confusion, while it relieves tire peo. ple of the iron rule of the old aristocrats -the real secessionists-wlio, in the name of honor aid chivalry, have here. tofore .exercised kingly power.

A sobor second thought has induced the authorities to permit thle shipment of rice to the North to a c rtain exant. It was at first considered' objectionable because of the, scarcity f provisions. But it was soon made app rent that the public would be the gaine . by an ox change. It is not so in ch now the scarcity of provisions that s felt as the Scarcity of money. Whet New.York can furnish us 'vith cheap f od, say- po. tatoes at two dollarp a bar I and take our rice at ten cents a po md, we are considerably the gainers by, the opera. tion. Some large shipment have ac cordingly been made on Leq ry's steam. ers, the Alhambra and .Gra da. TiE MADNESS OF FANAT lSM.-The negro is irrepressible. He cannot be kept down. From the begii ning of our history, he has been a disturb'xg element in politics. The grand issueof the war we have just seen closed, ce trod more or less upon,hinm. But with lie end of the armed struggle, new co plications arige in which the inevitable nnd- irre 'pressille negro re-appears as their leading character. Slavery has been practically killed. An amendment to the Consti tution, perfecting this policy, and giving it the sanction of fundamental law, is far' progressed tovard adoption by a reqiuisit mnjority of States. Four years ago, Wendell Pbillips in the wildest flights of his fervid inaginattion, would not have expected to see so much accomplished in his lifetime. Probably the National Anti-Slavery Society, at the '- ginnaing of the war, would havq been rla4 to compromise on the basis of uviat has alrea<y been done, and solemnly agree to agitate no more for a centtiry. -But yet the radicals, not satisfied with the liberation of thme, slaves, 'wish the blacks who ivere lately sweating upon planta. tions,*ivith scarcely an idea beyond Their .diy's tiwk and their rations of hog and hominy, to be given the ballot box; 6f the uses of which they are as ignorant as would be, a Fejee islander of- the prindiples oVan electrical battery. And when the right of suffrage is granted if ever such evil a day should come, and such a blot ever-be put upon our history -rthe next step of these New England derIlshes will-be to claim that the negr6 be- admitted to social equality, and tq intermarry and 6esociate with thawhites. -~ Qmchntond Ties.

I wait. ed five minutes ofter the time, and then blow my bugle for the charge. In twenty milutes my men were over the works, and the firing had ceased. The citizens and Yankees had broken in, the head of whisky and lager beer barrels, and werb alf drunk. They kept up fir ing all the time as rhey went dowq the bill. Hundreds of thlrm rushed to' the river and tried to swim to'the gunboats, and my men shot them down. . The Mis sissippi River was red with their blood for three' hundred yards. During all this, their flag was still flying, and I rush ed over the works and cut the halliards, and let it down and stopped the fight. Many of the Yankees were in tents in front, and they' were in their way, as they concealed my men, and some of them set them on fire. If they were bur. ned to death, it was in these 'tents: "They have a living witness in Capt. -Young. their Quartermaster; and 1 will leave it to any prisoner I have ever taken if I have nmt treated them well." CONDUCT OF THiE FEDERAL AUTWDRI TIES iN GxoRGIA.-The Federal authori ies seem to be conducting themselves with the sme accorum, in Georgia as they have done in Virginia., A Macon pa. per, speaking of their deportment in that city says: If Macon is a conquered city,' as sone people affirm, she is certainly favored with the mildest mannered victors of whom record has been made. instead of being disorderly, or in any way dis turbing the public peace, the great mass .of the soldiery among us are preservers of good order. A very few disgrace their profession, when the eyes of their oficers are not upon them, but we are free to say the-number is small. ' Macon, it is stated, is nearly free from all surplus population. The useless white population who infest all cities have been ordered away, and have been compelled to seek ome other location. The hiridreds of negroes who followed General Wilson's army have left the city. Some of them have returnel to their old homes. N CosT. OF THE WAn TO TUi SOUT. A Southern journal estimates the loss on account of the war to a single State as follows: Thie property, real and personal, in eliuding slaves, held in South Carolina, according 1, the census of 1860, was valned at four hundred millions of dollars. The bank, railroad.and other corporate stocksland personal property pmounted to as hundd millions, and of this property harldy d vestge is left.- The four hundred thousand slaves wore estimated to be worth two hundred millions. The land, embracing some fine)y improved and 'prodtictive cotton' and ice plantations, with costly manions, was Worth dne hundred million dollars; and hese are, to a great extent, devastated by the war.
