I will endeavor, how (ever, wl~ithI rentewed eniergy, to meiet youm wvishesx in tihe mxatter'. TPhe serious diflienlt~y that I ap~prehentd is the wvant oif that WVisdomn whieb is necessary f'or the great work. I shall be happy to work in any hartness thant promiers relief 1.o outr distressed people and harmonv to the nation. IL matters not whether 1 bear thxe mantle of Mr. Davis or the mantlo of Mr. Sonneir, so that I maiy help to bring the glory of "peaco and good will toward melt." I shall set out by assumning a propo sition that I hold to be self-evident, viz: 'The highsest of humn laws is the law that is established by appeal to airms. TIhie great pirinciples tha:t divided po litical parties prior to the wvar weure thoroughly discussed lby our wisest statesmen. 'When argutmentt was ex lasted resort eas bad to compromise, When compromise was unavaihng,. dis cussionl was reneowed, and expedients were sought, but nono could be found to suit the emergency. Appeal was filnal ly made to the sword to determine which of the claims was the construe. Lion of constitutional law. The sword has decided in favor of tihe North. and What they clanned as principles cease to he ptinciples, and are become laws. The views that we hoH censo to be principles because they are opposed tc law. It, is therefore our dittv to itan. don ideas that are obsolete and conform to the retiuirements of law. Tile military bill and amendments are peace offeri ng. Wo should accept them as such, and place ourselves upon hem as the starting poult from which to meet ftulre political issues as they : ise. .Li'o other Southern men. I natural ly sought alliances witt the Demtocratic party, merely because it was opposed to the Republican party. Btt as far as I can judge, there is nothing tangible about it,, except. the issues that were staked upon the war and there lost. Finding nothing to take hold of except prejudice, which cannot bo worked into amy good for any one, it is proper and right, thit I should seek some stand point, from which good may be dono. I f I appreciate tile priuciples of the Democratic party, its prominent features oppose tihe enfranchisement of the coi ored man, and deny the right to legis. late ution the subject of suffrage, except hy the States individually. These two features have -t tendency to excludo Sotht Iern I.en1 from that party, for ithe colored man is already en franchised here, and wo.cianttot seClI alliance 'with a party that, lild restrict his rights. The exclusihe right of the States to legislate uapont sufflrago will Iake the eilrancluseiment of the blacks, whtetlhei for hetter or for ,vorse, a fixt.ure anongst us. It appears, therefore, those who cry loudest against this new order of as a public cailamity are those whbso principles fix it uponit us without remedy. Ffence it becomes us to insist that st. frage shouild be extended in all tle States, and fully tested. The people ofthe North should adopt what, they a tnisinhe, the so;1, remove 1;qLy it lii-ukv, Shludremove it by the remedy under republican principles of uniform laws upon tisffllaige. Ifeverv man in the counttr will meet. thli cnsis with a proper appreciatiott of our condition, atnd comO fairly up to his responsibilities ont to-merrow tihe sun will smile upon a happy people ; our fields will again yield their increaso our railroads and rivers will teem with aitmidant conmmnerce ; our towns and cities will resound with the timult of trado, and we shall be invigorated by the blessings of A hnighty God.

LoxostnEEST. Whly is a blusht like ai littlo girl Becauso it becomes a womtan. A Oolorod Prophet Forotells the Woo of his Peoplo., TIE WHITE MAN snAT-IL JOIN Wil a STnANGE NAITION. Acorresponden~t living in Riw, aiba county, 'Mississippi, lias sont ui ai curious prophesy rucently made b2 a colored preacher named Lewis Sax ton DeCosta, and causing, it is said inmediato sensation among the blaok, in that part of Miss.sissippi. DeCos ta is a very old man, who claims tq bi the son of African parents; his fa ther was a prince, having beun, wit Saxton's mother, kidnapped sonio di tanco up the Niger, by a slaver, whi sold them to Pedro lauclio, the grea trader, at the Galinas. They subsc. buontly belonged to, the DeCosta es. tato, in Florida, whoro Lewis wai raised. After forty years of slavery, he got his freedom by naving from v burning building the children of hih mistress. Ho is said to be a man of remarkablo purity of : life, and an army officer (Captain Van Vlcot) who heard him in Georgia, declares that he was the. most eloquent man lic over heard in his life. During the war lie could not be induced to give aid to either the Federal or Confeder ate side, his unvarying reply being that it was his mission to comfort the liarts of his people. Widely known and everywhero regraded with ex treme veneration by the blacks, it is not strange that they should be deep ly moved by his words. A VISION. Lo I my eyes are open and I see clearly. For many days [ fasted and prayed ; I put. away from mu all imal ice and sought to make my heart otcar, my life before God. Alas, the hea.t f man is prone to evil. Like the dumb ox, lie learns wisdom slow ly. I con feissed Iy silts; I trust not iml myself. Then wisdom came ; my eyes saw the present and fituire. Tihe great books of timo w'er opened. So profound was my astonishment that I hungerod not, although I had fasted long i asked the one who stood by mc "what means these records ?"' The shining one said, "They are the lives of - nations-mnighty peo trace." "Don't clod always raiso up thoso who have been debased," I asked. No,' lie replied, "more often debase mncit. g.C:i before extinction ; Open thinie oyes and see the future of thy people. They are proud. They trust in theiselves rather thanl inl GOd. They have forgotten the gospel rule, "bless your eiiuiiies, pray for those who wrong you."' Thley speak bitter ly. They are led to hate. They are made to stand in hostile array. Look abroad iow, and see the vision of the fulture-." Then I was lifted up and through the blne -ky of a suiimer day. I saw 11 my peoplo. I saw themiii working in plantations and shops-I saw them in s.-hools and churches. They were soictiiies wronged, sometimes cheat ed, sonietimes shianefully abused be cause they were black, but men wanted their labor ar d they were slowly rising above wrong and and preju dico. Then there went forth two, bearing vials of wrath, and theso they poured out upon thme whole lad. Tholie hoe sountd of bunsy labor became hushed. Bly people left thie field and the work. shop. Weeds choked up the cotton, 'Thlo weeds smothered the corn. The workshops slept. Seome lay all day unuder the shaile trees in vainl hope of somietimo taking all the property of the white man. Others crowded into l iquor stores and spent their time in speakinmg bitterly of the past, and wishing for revomige. ''The white peolo upon whom thec vials of wrath were poured became bitter against thme colored man. They saidh there are ten millions of um whites, while there are only five ii liens of these blacks. Why should we bear wvith them longer ? They seek nowv to oppress us. They are otui enemies. We will put such burden upon them that they wvill be driveni out or blotted out as a people. We no longer need their labor. We can lire meon from Asia. We can gel these men w~hio will work harder, and be glaid to got for a year's woric what we pamy a black man for working oni month. Then I saw millions of people broumght w ithi exceding swiftness froni Asia, and they filled up the whole southern counitry, aind thoy wvere every whore proforred to colorod mnen, . anid they settled in the land. Then hard' laws were made against the blacks anid they became outcasts and v'aga. The angel brought me back to li own plaeo andt said, "They that seal strife and bitterniess shall perial thereby," and I wep~t luch for thec calamitIes of my people. , A remnant may be saved If they seek peace wvitl all men, and labor as Godi has appoint ed. themn.

L The New York Sa is showing hom the needle womon in that city ar< are paid. After reimarking that th< average wages of even the most skill. ed do not exceed $5 por week, it adds: In order to earn even that much v woman must be skilled in soi par tienlar branch of sowing. Those who have not had Oxperienco in tle clas. of work that they engage to perform --cannot obtain as much in tie aver. age as flvo dollars a week. How tlhosc poor creatures manago - to live is a iystery that we cantliot penetrate. 1any of then have helpless children to sulpport, othors have 11god imr-onmts to provide for, and all are the victims of poverty. During the last two or thrce weeks wo lave daily pILblish ed communications from young men on th question of saving money. Among the writers of those letters aro many who receive from $15 to $20 per week, and who yet argue that they can barely support themselves on such salaries. Now, if a young man, free and with out encumbrance can barely get along with $15 per week, how can a woman live on one-third- of that sum ? Think of a sewing woman with two or three helpless children eking out an evistenco on $5 per week ! Yet there are many which do it. Wi thin a stonto's thro*w of JBroadway, with its beauty, wealth and extravmganec, thero are many poor vomen toiling early and late for $5'.4 week. We can imagine low thajt littance must be doled out.

They even go so far as to aver that a letter to thbat effect was transmitted to the President.n- fortnight ago, and that, though thme latter is endeavoring to per. snade him to consider his resolution, the ormier is inflexible. The 15th of Sop. teomber it is further said, is the time fixed for his retirement, 1 give yen these reports, as all other reports, rumors and gossip of a political character are giveo in this correspondence, for what they are worth.

Speeoh of Senator Sherman--His Views on Roconstruotion. Senator Sherman of Ohio, spolco at iCanltonl,'Ohio, on Tuesday lost. \ye Imake the following extracts from his speeh on (usLtionis of natiocal im. port : At the last sFssion of Congress I took t1n part in new propositions for reeoistruction until near the close tf the se.Sion. Even uow, if tile South, With the spirit that actuate-s Gen.

L know what I say to you is true when I declare that a majority of Republican Senators and momlers would have admitted any rebel State upon its adoptiog the amendment and complying with its terms. But dur ing the seOsion it was said by many Southern 1m3en1 that the Southern poo ple would gladly accept the amend ment, bat the machinery of Johnson's loyal legislatures was in disloyal hands. They said they bud no promiso from Congress, in so many words, that if they accepted the amendment tey would be admitted. It was to inect their difficulties, and settle definitely the status of the rebel State Govern. mnCt ai of the colored people that the l10oonstruccion Act of the last regular rols(in wats pas ed.

Somo llembers wore in favor of limited confiscation of land ; some in favor of military government; sonic in favor of trcating the amendment as alroady adopted by three-fourths of the loyal States; but neither of these measures Illet the assent of Con gross. As to confiscation, it would -o a proper and just measure of punish, mont in som cases to take . the land of leading rebels, but a general sys toni of confiscation s a 1modo of pun ishment is so miusual a measure in our country and its evil effoets oin the innocent as well as the guilty has beenl (iiu nfe(? .. ixautrio us in Ireland before I agree to it. Military governments ought to be only temporary soafiOlding for civil governments. They are so regarded, and their continnance should not be an hour longer than to enforce that object. Tumr R.:n GUANrTi..-The condition in which the Red Guantlet arrived at I avaun, dhie to the ignorance, rascalit y or culpable neglect of those who had her in charge, is a sad commentary on the folly of our people who rush off blind folded to Brazil and olher foreign coun tI ics. When the people tako a shoot in the direction of some llrecipice or other, it is useless to shout to themi till a few of the bell wethers have made the jimip and disappeared. In making such a comiIpatrison we do it in no spirit of levity, for thn sIfferinugs and disapfpoint ments endured by the poor people who left this city in the Rod Gnlillet, are matters too serious for jest.

Just when the black cap had been dra wn over Jerry's faice, a well dressed l.>nt rowdyi-h looking follow reached ever thyrough the dripping crowd, and in a wicked whimnor said to a main 1:cfur him: "'Look' hero I I've told you three Limes to take that umb~rella from before me ;if you don't do it this time, tl kilt you on thee spot."

The Yelverton Martiago :caso. No person can read the conclusion of the final appeal to the Hons of Lords, in the caso om Mrs. Yelverton, wit hout indignation at the dceci.:it that, the baw Lords have co'me against a well educa Led lady, whose whole course of life was irieproachablo from first to last, iind who was so acknowledged by Mr. Yel verton as his wife ; that both in Scot land and inl Irelaid the legality of the first, Marritge was declared in t!:o lower Courts il her favor. It, was even prov ed that, Mr. Yelverton met her in the best society, during tho Crimean war when she volmteered as one of Miss Nigh itgiale's assistanlts. '.l'hey were Pubicly considered engag"ed. There was a professed marntge, which sio never doubted to be real, and ec"losms tically supposed to be perfect by the laws of the Catiolic Church, to which she belonged. But lie, being a Plo'es. taut, the marriage was beld noc to bilid him, although ie lived with her public ly as his wife, and introduced her as such every where. ven lwhen brought to the Comillittee of the 1 Ioutse of fjords, three of the Law Lords were in favor of atfliming the idgnt of tlho court b. low, and pronolneing thu inarria go valid, vhile tiree were of the opposite opin io:1. Lord Broughiam, however, having fiiled to write out Iii opiniion, the lim jority of written jiu-Igmenits carried the day. It was even shown that, ono or two of tloso whose decisions were ad verse were nJ imnptrejudiced, having previously given adversQ juidgments inl courts below. But it was found that, by ancient Scottish usage, ono of the paritieS miht refer the cauise of the oath to the other, when the party thlus tending the refer encC is unt1able to adduce proof of the facts alleged, and to this the initired woimant wislhed to challenge her husband Major Yelvertoit. But this is now for mally denied her, because by tImt oath Airs.
