Regarding his experience in stump* iug Vermont for the Democratic ticket, General Waddell, of North Carolina, rays s * . •“AUwsiow hus hasu arada to qnes lions asked in regard to the poIHi a* status of the negroes in the South' These were expected, of course, but he was not prepared to bdlieve that any in telligent person would inquire as one prominent gentleman did, ‘if it was pos sible for a negro to make a living down there.' Suuh an inquiry afforded a good opportunity to impart infontutioo, os well aa to marvel at a profoundly telf- suffiuieat spirit with which a Yankee will undertake to manage affair* of which be has absolutely no knowledge whatever, especially if they arc other people's affairs. - .
