The dominant blacks will have their black preachers and teachers for churewies and schools where both races have to resort. The militia officers and the police will be blacks. City officials will be blacks, and in council there will be justices of the peace, post? masters and constables. We shall have in Congress several black Senators and forty Representa? tives. These, after the fashion of giving office and patronage here, will insist upon having their share of offices in thc departments, and in custom houses, and for assessors and collectors of internal revenue, for cadet appointments in the army and navy, and for appointments abroad. One or more Cabinet officers must, as partizan politics go, be black. Prac? tically, Mr. Sumner or Mr. Thaddeus Stevens might call on the President, or at the Departments, and be obliged to await their turn, several black Senators or Representatives beinp: there in advance of them. On social occasions, the latter would be obliged to follow a black that ranked him, ac? cording to etiquette. The Congress? men, black and white, must sit to? gether, converse with one another, and, in fine, do all things with poli? tical equality, and power must pre? cipitate sociality. If such a state of things will not result in amalgama? tion, then all history, pliilosophy and fact go for nothing. [ Washington Intelligence): The Natchez Courier, of the 25fh ult., says: "An important rumor was in the city yesterday, to the effect that a number of negro regiments in this State are to go to work on the "levees, and their places to be supplied by regulars. In Louisiana, we are told the same, step is to be made. We give the above as a rumor, although there is no doubt of its reliability." A gentleman in Hartford, Conn., found the end of a human finger in a bologna sausage he was eating, a few-dajB ago. ?2astern Hay. ALOT of superior EASTERN HAY, for sale low for cash.
