A straight sword is worn at the belt and a long'truncheon or spear carried in the hand.- This is full dross, worn only on extraordinary occasions.?

In the center o( the squar^ or, more properly, rhomboid, which these wall* enclose, (forming the "Inner WarJ,"eo called,! .stands the " CitadrJ,'^ver "White Towor," a building about 100 feet square. This Tower which is tho most conspicuous part of tho whole structure in approaching tho Fortrcss> was built by Wiilium tho Conqueror, in 1079* Its erection was intrusted to a bisbop whose excellent tasto is manifested in the beauty of the graceful turrets which guard and adorn the four angles of*this ancient stronghold. White Tower ia nearly 100 feet high and divided into three stories with a basement of spacioas vaulted apartments. The Mint which wns formerly situated in tbe Outer Ward, was removed several years since to Tower Hill outside the walls, which, it will be remembered, was the jiluc^ for public,execution of Stato criminals. Having made tbo eircuit of the Outer Ward, the visitor's attention is called to tho Traitor's Gate, opening from the rivor into a gloomy arcliway beneath St. Thomas' Tower and leading up a flight of stone steps nearly .opposite the Bloody Tower in which tradition says the two youthful sons of Edward IV wore cruelly put to death.

Such men, whatever their root1 van, if they should unhappily sneeeed In fastening on the Southern States, universal negro suffrage on the one side, and extensive disfranchisement of white people on the. other, aa seams to be their aim and purpose, will secure the universal abhorrence of all right ipindsd men hi! over the world- Their children after them, instead of rising up to call them bleaaed, will eurse their memories, and hang their heads in shams to bo oalled by their names.

Whilst General Scott and other Bureau agents have been most incouragcingly reporting on the good rcsnljs of a free negro labor, Ucnerol Oii.i.aw, of Mississippi, lias been forced by facts to oiposo the lamentable condition of the negroes in the military District of General Ono, particularly in the State' where thero nro thousands upon thousands likely to suffer for want of supplies, superinduced by the Government policy. We see it stated that in Memphis thero are twenty thousand negroes, without the prospect of living, threatened with suffering from want of lood. In Alabama, also in the flense negro population, tho same calamity is threatened. Wo no t a gentleman and lady, a few days since, on the rail-road, just returning from their former plantation, situutod in Montgomery or Lownds County.
