The train was running at a speed of thirty miles, and strange enough, thc little bird ea japed unin? jured, notwithstanding the crash of glass and sudden Rhook. -The. rapid immigration from the North and West is already changing the entire popu? lation in some sections of Spottsylvania and Caroline in Virginia. In the neighborhood of Spotteykania Courthouse, a dozen Northern men have como in and are now actively at work. In thc vicinity of Guiney'a Station, on the Richmond, Fredericks burg and Potomac Railroad, twelve miles from Fredericksburg, large sales have been recently made. -The Daricn Canal Treaty has been reject? ed by the Colombian Senate by a large majori? ty, on the following grounds: ''First, that it does not sufficiently guarantee tho sovereign vantages to Colombia are not sufficient; third, that the works should accrue to Colombia at the end of one hundred years, whether the constructors have received pay for them or not." -A letter from New York says: ' lhe oppo? nents of the excise law have won a great ad? vantage in tho Assembly in getting through an amendment which exempts' lager beer from t he provisions of the bill. Republicans voted i or it, as well as the De noorat*, it would ap? pear, in ordo:- to conciliate the German politi? cal element. The lawyers say that the amend? ment can be so c otis trued as to permit the sale of that beverage on the Sabbath day. " -Some mificbievous boys in natchez, Miss., a> few nights since introduced a new feature i nto the festivities of a colored fair being held in that city. These odious wretches placed oayenne pepper upon the hot stove and set .all the dusky damsels to sneezing to that ex? tent that all the hooks and eyes were burs ted off their dresses. They then, for the benefit of tho -dusky lords, ID trod uoad in theegg-nog cro? ton oil as a lubricator, and possibly to-equalize or neutralizo the effects of the fusel oil already i n tho admixture. The fair did not prove a .very enxineut success. -As one of the "Forty Thieves" at Niblo's was stealing ' home the other night, she heard the plaintive cries of an infant, and going to a barrel that stood upon the sidewalk, she look? ed into it and discovered a child about six : -weeks old. She kindly took the little waif ta her home, and the next morning brought it to -the theatre, where, m the preseeoe of the en? tire, theatre, it was christened Lydia Palmer Jarrett. The "Fortyregistered an oath to protect and educate the little wanderer, and es-ch one is to set a par La weekly stipend for the "purpose. They all hope that, like its name? sake, it will "never say dye." -The following is an extract from a letter . of HOD. Benjamin F. Wade, of Ohio, in reply *o an address of the National Exeoutive Com? mittee of colored men : "But, in my judgment, -much more remains to be done; for lean never believe a government perfeot while it is possible for one mao to appropriate the avails 'ofthe labor of thousands, while those that perform tho labor pine away their life m pov? erty and destitution, or to monopolize an un? limited exteut of God's earth to the exclusion of others. These evils are yet to be corrected; and may I not expect that you who have been . BO lately emancipated from the foulest opprea sionand injustice will take the lead in these great and necessary reforms V -To the various paper productions of this paper age-paper collars, paper shirts, and even paper waistcoats, bonnets and hats-must now be added paper coffins. M. Szerelmey, their inventor, seems to have a belief in the universal adaptability of pa;.er to all tho needs of civilized life. He undertakes to coat ships with it, and make them impervious to shot; ho employs it in the manufacture cr construction of rocket cases, powder canisters, railway car? riages, drain pipes, and party walls. He claims that it is at once lichter, stronger, barder and cheaper than any other material hitherto in use for these purposes, not excepting iron and steel and stone. His object in introducing it io the manufacturo of coffins is to obtain what so many people rather absurdly consider a de? sideratum-a perfectly air-tight, water-proof and damp-defying shell which nothing from without can penetrate, and nothing from with? in can escape. -Inoori?ct and incomplete lists have been published of the States which hive acted upon tho proposed Fifteenth amendment to the constitution. Tho following statement has been carefully prepared, and is believed to be correct: Kansas ratified the amendment Feb? ruary 27; Louisiana and Nevada, Maroh 1; Mis? souri, March 2; Weet Virginia, March 3; North * Carolina, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin, Ma. ch 5; Mamo and South Carolina, March ll; Massachuse tts, March 12; Arkansas, March 15; and Peuusylv tuia Mardi 25. Thc Assembly of New York rafi God the amendment March 17; it is yet to be acted upon by tho Senate. The Legislatures of Missouri, Kansas amt Nevada, in .heir haste to act upon the amendment previous to adjournment,, ratified a tele? graphic report o? it, and, as there were errors in that copy, their action is declared to bo in? complete. This being the . case, tho Legisla? tures of those States must again act upon the tt?endmeit at their next session. The Legis? latures of Georgia and Delaware, on the 18th of March, rejected resolutions ratifying the amendment. The Legislature of Rhode Island postponed its consideration until May. Seve? ral Democratic members of th? Indiana Legis? lature resigned their seats in that body to pre? vent, through lack of a quorum, the ratifica? tion of the amendment. CHARLESTON. TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL 6, 1869. Forney in a New Light? Sudden conversions are sometimes both lasting and sincere; but it will be long ere the South has any faith in the new-born love and gushing admiration of John W. Forney. This person was our bitter and unscru? pulous enemy. The columns of his two papers-the Washington Chronicle and Philadelphia Press-were filled with slan? der and abuse. Faots were garbled and twisted in every oonoeivable way. Every foible was magnified until it became a crime, and every merit was hidden out of sight. The whole aim of "my two papers-both "daily," waa to spur on the Radicals to greater excesses by dedaring that a South? ern man was a deeper dyed villain than ever graoed the scaffold, and that Southern society was one sweltering mass of impu? rity and corruption. Eaoh new enormity received his cordial support. Of every de? fender of the law and the constitution he was the implacable foe, and the profusion of Billingsgate which year after year was heaped on President Johnson is not all forgotten. And yet within the last few months Forney has turned over a new leaf, and now cannot say too muoh to cheer and console the South. In a leading article, one of many, which lies before Us, Forney Bays that the South will start next year upon the career of gen? eral prosperity which is in store for her. The superior intelligence, greater energy and increased motives of interest of the former slaveholders, will oarry the whole section forward and upward. The people says Forney-have awakened from their lethargy, their energies have been brought into vigorous play, and they seem to work under the inspiring conviction that they have a brilliant future before them. Romantic tendencies have been cast aside and the faots of every day life taken up. The surplus profits of the year will reach sixty or sev? enty millions, "And the extent of leverage "that euch a sum oan auord ia past our "powerB of approximation, when flaped jn "to succeed and willing to diligently work "for saooess." This is the strain in which Forney writes at this moment, and this is his pioture of our future : "But the inevitable result of this Buocess "must be Southern independence of the "North to a large extent, and this the North "must expect The South, under the new "order of things, will soon manufacture for "herself. She will also out loose from "Northern ports, and establish direot steam "intercourse with Europe for herself. Even "c.. ~ 'his has been done to a great extent, "sufficiently BO to show what increased ef "fort is oapable of doing. We know that "just as soon as the business of the section "will call for and warrant the increase of "the means of European oommunioation, "the necessary oapital will be forthcoming. "Let plenty of cotton and breadstuff's be "produced, let railroads multiply where "they are needed, then steamship lines for "foreign ports will follow, and the hum of "busy factories will soon be heard in local? ities where deep silence has reigned; and "the result of all these will be overrunning "prosperity. This is no exaggerated pic "ture. The signs of the times are signifi? cant; and there is a deep prophecy in "some of the changes now going on that "most of us will live to see fulfilled in the "bright future of one section, destined to "shed a benefit over all others embraced "within the national domain. Let the "Southern people be not discourrged by "any temporary drawback. Patience, per? severance, well directed industry and "time-these are agencies which, when "combined, no drawbaokcan withstand." This is no more than the truth, -whatever the source whence it comes, and it is sig? nificant in this instance, because it proves that Forney is convinced that more is to be made by praising than by abusing the South. The profits of his land agency are more to him than any abstract idea. What he desires is to be on the strong side, be? cause ii is the strong side which controls the almighty dollar. Aud we ni ed no more satisfactory evidence that the shrewd Northern Radicals begin to see in the South? ern sky the harbingers of an unexampled prosperity, than is found in the circum? stance that the most thorough and persis? tent of them all paints all things a roseate hue, and predicts for the whole South a bril? liant and happy future. We oare but little what Forney's notions may be. ' We have no fear that he will throw dust in the eyes of our people. All that oonoerns us is the fact that, for once, what he says is true, and that our goal is and shall be Southern commercial inde? pendence. Whether he is guided by self interest or unmixed philanthropy, Forney is helping us on. The glowing words whioh he utters will be heard whero our voices could not reach. They will aid in convert? ing the North from its pet theory that the Southerner cannot and will not work, and they will go far to convince the radical Re? publicans that honesty is, after all, th 3 beet policy, and that a nation which boasts of two thousand millions of debt cannot afford to make light of the people who give to the jountry an annual gold value of more than two hundred million of dollars. Forney, at lust, ia in the right path. As he was the forerunner of many of our mis? fortunes, so may ho now be permitted to tell glad tidings to our people. IT IS amusing to seo bow ecgerly tho Radi? cal press makes one swallow of the new Ten ure-of-office law as finally accepted by both houses. Only a single point taken out of the former law, they assort, in favor of the Presi? dent ; ouly a single ono inserted in favor of the Senate. Now the simple truth is, the Sen? ate bas even more power than it had before. Its power over removals, and therefore over appointments, is naked and unqualified. Ihe President may remove without cause now, and suspend during the recess of the Senate as freely as be pleases ; but he must make nomi? nations to the vacancies thus temporarily created within thirty days after the commence? ment of the nest session of the Senate, and that body oan refuse to ratify them ; in which case he is required to nominate "another offi? cer," justas soon as practicable, and the Sen? ate can reject all his nominations until satis? fied. Under the former law the President could remove only for causo, and must present his reasons to tho Senate. This left the Sen? ate an extremely limited control over the offi? ces, since there would be BO few to vacate and to fill. They, of course, wanted that feature changed, but change i in such a way that their power would be enlarged, not diminished; and that is precisely what is now accomplished, to their evident satisfaction.
