governing .power, Mexico has one
friend left among the civilized na?
tions, wo cannot conceive which it is.
The very name of Mexico must bc
obliterated from tho roll of nations,
and its Indians, liko the Comanches

boles in the mountains, thus to perish
out of the earth, if we mistake not
tho feeliug of the American and all

BEOISTKATION IN "MISSISSIPPI.-Re?
gistration in somo parts of Missis?
sippi seems tobo progret. wig quite
differently from its genera, course
j in Louisiana. A correspondent of
tho Vicksburg Herald writes from
Morton, Juno 0, that in that lo?
cality the negroes take no iutertst
in the registration, a number of them
oven avoiding it; some who are much
older denying that they are twenty
one years of age. On the first day,
fifty-eight whites nnd twenty blacks
registered ; on the second, forty-seven
whites and fivo blacks; on the third,
thirty-four whites and six blacks.
Total 139 whites, thirty-one blacks.
The grasshoppers have stripped
100 miles of country u Missouri,
and are still hopping amt hungry.
A SENSIBLE Vraw OP BucorraTBUo
HON.-Tho Bichmond Whig ho? ar?
rived nt the folio wi ug sensible and
practical conclusions:
Our opiuion is that the preseut is
the proper timo to heal tho wounds
inflicted by tho war, to build up
what is thrown down, and to restore
what is destroyed.
lu the great process of reconstruc?
tion, upon which we are about to
enter-a reconstruction not only po?
litical, but social and industrial-we
of the South aro required to play a
part-an humbler part than is agree?
able, or than has been our wout
but still ?an important part. Wo
must, however, remember in tho
beginning that we cannot, by any
action of ours, change the status of
tho Northern people or of the South?
ern negroes. Their status is fixed,
and will be maintained, no matter
what we may do. But we can make
our own condition agreeable or dis?
agreeable, that is, our action will bc
influential in moulding the action
of thoso upon whom it devolves to
determine our future position in the
Union. We must remember by day
and by night that wo aro in their
power, not they in ours. Any oppo?
sition we make to them will bo un?
availing for goo.l, and eau only harm
ourselves.
If we want peace we must prac?
tice the virtues pf peace, and if wt
want to get back into the Union wc
must pursue that mode indicated bj
those who have the power to pre
scribe. All historical precedent;
show us that tho conqueror 011I3
throws down his arms when th?
conquered succumbs, and that he
grants peace only upon his owi
terms. The general rule is not goin;
to bc relaxed in our case. Of tin
we may rest assured. We may alsc
just as well banish from our mind
tho delusion that we can quarrel ou
way back into tho Union. Wo hav
found out that wo can neither Ugh
ourselves out of <>r into the Union
and we will ere long find ont thu
quarreling is just as f hitless, am
not half so manly as fig -ting. Feel
iug convinced that it is impossibl
to light, and not wishing to degem
rate into common scolds, we hav
resolved, for ourselves, to confori
to tho situation, and obey a necessit
which is as irresistible as death.
"Brick" Pomeroy, writing to hi
paper from New York, uses tho fo
lowing language:
"There is ruin ahead. Losses au
bankruptcy will be familiar won
from now and fora long time, till tl
financial balloon rises high out 1
sight in tho cloud of repudiation 1
our national debt. The West is 01
of moue}-, grain and cattle. Tl
South is on the verge of famine. Tl
war developed thieves, swindlers ai
speculators, and destroyed over tv
millions of producers. The intern
revenue receipts last year were for
por cent, less than was expecte
while the expenses of Republic!
Government were sixty per cet
more than was anticipated. Tl
makes a difference of 110 per eel
against the people, the working me
the producers of the country, w
are the bulling pads between bon
holders and ruin. Hundreds of lei
ing merchants in this city, who
turned large incomes in the spring
liSGU, return none in 18G7, wh
those who do are ashamed of t
small exhibit." C^SSSl

flTlir. "Ladies' Society in aid of tho Suf
JL fering and Destitute Poor of the South"
would respectfully and earnestly call tho
attention of the gonorous Northern public
to thc groat distress amt fearful suffering
now prevailing in the Southern States,
betters are daily received from the South,
from thc G enerals Commanding, Govern?
ors, ministers and eminent citizens, fur?
nishing tho most heart-rending details of
thc actual want, famine and starvation in

H'lXjU.vnTEBS, ITU MILITARY DIST.,
(MISSISSIPPI AND An KANSAS,)
VlCKsnuitu, Miss., May 13, 1HG7.
I am glad to seo that tho attention of the
gentle and humano ladies of the North is
being turned towards the sad and desolate
condition of this onco happy land.
Yon, Madam, surrounded"with tho plenty
and comforts of a wealthy city, can scarcely
appreciate the fact that,* in many parts of
thc South, whole communities are, by a
failnro in crops and thc absence of money
or its equivalent, left m want of tho neces?
saries of life; and that poor women, with
large families of helpless children, so ac?
customed to depend on tho labor of others,
that uow. with no husband, brother or
servant to ...lp, and no money, they do not
know what to do or where to go for food;
but are left iu the solitudes of these South?
ern forests, in rags and gaunt, with hunger,
subsistiiiR on what the mother or larger
children can shoot or pink up in the WOOOB,
or ou what the few neighbors, nearly as
poor as they arc, can bring them.
Officers of my acquaintance have mot
with such mothers, long after dark, out in
the woods, with an old gun just tired, and
the coon or possum just killed; havo gone
home with them and met the group of little
starvelings waiting patiently mother's re?
turn with some of l\\9 only sort of food
they had tasted for weeks; and women and
children have been found within sixty miles
of the capital of a Southern State, during
tho past year, who had starved to death "
their lonesome cabins. These cases of
great distress arc rare in Southern cities,
for there, even thc most delicately bred can
generally lind some work which they can
do to keep tho wolf from thc door: but the
farms or plantations in tho South aro pe?
culiarly secluded, with miles of forest or
swamp" between thom, poor roads, and tho
stock and animals nearly all taken by tho
war, the famine, tho lloods, or tho thieves,
who in such times infest a country, aud tho
distressed families aro often, by "the time
necessity makes ?them want to leave, too
sick to travel on foot, and there is no other
way to go.
Your proposed entertainment, Madam,
should it produce only funds onongh to re?
lievo a small fraction of the destitution of
this country, will bo a good beginning, and
may bo followed in other cities North by
similar appeals to people who havo happily
never felt tho desolation and the horrors
which follow in tho tracks of great armies
of invasion. God speed your society in thc
good work, is thc wish of. Madam, vours
truly, E. O. C. ORD,
Brevet Major-General.
HKADO.UABTF.U8, FIUST MILITARY DIVISION,
RICHMOND, VA., May ll, 18G7.
Mr.*. Ilarlmre Mather- MY DEAII MADAM:
I shall ho too glad if anything I eau say
will aid tho society in its noblo work. A
largo proportion of "thopeoplo of the .South
have suffered and many are still suffering
almost to the limit of enduranco from tho
devastation of war and subsequent failure
of crops. They are making overy possible
exertion to revive their various branches
of industry and become eelf-Bupporting.
The liberal assistauco which tho Northern
peoplo aro well able to give, will relievo a
great amount of distress, and will no doubt
bo sufficient to placo tho poor of tho South
beyond further suffering for food. Tho
recent manifestations of an almost univer?
sal desire throughout tho South for a really
fraternal re-union with the North, may well
servo to stimulate tho generous sympathies
of tho Northern people, while nothing could
do moro to foster and encourage tho growth
of a healthy sentiment in tho Sontli than
tho generous rid which it ia tho mission of
your society to invoke. I sincerely hope

HEADQUARTERS, RE<ONO MILITARY DIVISION.
CHARLESTON, S. C., May 13, 18G7.
The excellent purpose yon havo in viow
cannot bo too much commended. Tho lib?
erality of the Government of thc United
States, and the muniiicent contributions
already made for tho relief of the wide?
spread destitution in the States, leaves
great numbers unprovided with food and
clothing. And until an abundant harvest
enables tho people here to do more for
themselves, I trust tho ever generous and
prosperous committees of tho North will
emit niue their noble gifts to this Impover?
ished and a?lictcd population. With my
boat wishes for the success of your under?
taking, I remain, Madam, rory respectful?
ly, DANIEL E. SICKLES,
Con manding Second Military District.

seraneo of my poor help in this your gen

eminently your due for tho generous sym?
pathy manifested by your organization foi
thoso among us in distress. Wishing you
Rod speed m your noblo work, 1 am. Ma

GREENSBORO, May li, 1SG7.
Have just roturncd from a tour through
thc section made memorable by "Sher?
man's march to tho seaboard." Poverty,
Buffering and destitution of tho {utopieeau
scarcely be realized-living in hiv 8, rudely
constructed of charred boardr, of rails,
boughs and mud, you aro met by hollow
eyed, emaciated forms, whoso ll tit words
are "bread*1-for something to stille thc
cravings of hunger. In one place, 1 wit?
nessed thc body of a child boriuMo its last
rest, on a board, in the same rags in which
it died. In another, four females existed
for a week on two pounds of corn, together
with some roots. On tho road, 1 met an?
other who had walked twelve miles to beg
some food for her children. Many other
instances eau bo given of sad suffeiiug
from actual want ot food. Very truly,
FREDERICK WATTS, M." D.
