+" The terms of the Alabama resolutions are un-
Objectionable, certainly to us, and to all truly
Southern men ; but the danger is, that harmoni-
Gus organization Of national convention cannot
be obtained, If Southern delegates appear there

necessitate their withdrawal"
The Delta knows very wen that the New
York Softs and entire Northern administration
party hold opinions antagonistic to those inn
bodied in this resolution. It says, further:

Aid for Kansas.

The efforts which are successfully making in
different places to raise funds for the Free
State Kansas emigrants, may be laadable, or
they may be reasonable, according to the ma.
ture and design Of the aid afforded, and the
purposes to which it is to be applied. If it is
designed to be employed in resisting the laws,
either of the United States or of the Territory,
the design is criminal, and no patriotic citizen
in the due Exercise of his faculties, will be
guilty Of it. If on the other hand, such "aid'
is designed for the relief of the destitute, for
the building Of houses, or for the purchase OF
lands, and is sure to be applied for these pur-
poses, j, may be n harmless, or even benevo-
lent act. Orders have been issued from the
War Department, directing Coils. Sumner and

A Letter to Colonel Preston s. Brooks.
UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA, May 3lst, 1876,

UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA, May 3lst, 1856.
To Hon. PRESTON S. Brooks
Dear Sir:-As Southern men and lovers Of
our country, we would herewith express our
approval of your late conduct in avenging as
you did, an insult cast upon an aged relative,
and the State which you represent.
Our hopes and belief alike assure US that the
stand which you have taken in this matter will
do much towards arousing Northern fanaticism
to a sense of its dangerous and untenable posi-
ton, and that this yencontre upon the floor Of
the Senate will go far towards preventing the
conflict which seemed likely soon to take place
upon the stage Of the Union.
Ard while we regret the existence of such q
state of circumstances as rendered your action
necessary, yet we regard the course pursued by
you as that properly to be followed towards
those men who; shielding themselves behind
parliamentary usage and privilege, have long
been engaged in vilifying the Southern part OF
the Union, employing language which Southern
gentlemen can neither consent to answer in a
similar strain, nor submit to in silence.
And therefore, as testimonial Of our re-
spect and esteem for you, we beg leave to pre-
sent you with goblet in the name of body
of young men of the South collected at the
University of Virginia.

COMMITTEE:
The Brooks and sumner Affair.

1t is amusing, in this latitude, to see how
much is made of personal rencounter, by the
Abolition press and the Black Republican
party of the North. 1t is great political issue,
TO be sure, that is to stir up whole people
Suppose Sumner had given Brooks a thrashing
with a gutta percha cane, for words spoken in
debate, does any one suppose the South would
have given it second thought. They would
only have told Brooks to try it again, and if
he could not do better, to do as well as he
could. Sumner, however, is martyr. He
was knocked down with a small hollow cane,
that broke to pieces, and killed, almost. He
has been laid up, and regular bulletin as to
the state of his health have been issued, to
make the most Of the occurrence.
Any number of lies have been told on the
subject. Sumner was knocked down and
beaten, we have been told but he was not
struck at all after he was down. Sumner was
NONRESIDENT in the affair, was another version
but he did resist the best of his abilities but
the resistance was not very successful 1t is
not certain that Sumner is seriously hurt nor
is it at all probable. The weapon was not
sufficient to do any great damage; but it is
convenient to be very i'll. Sympathy does some
good when all else fails.
Well, let all that choose feel sad about mat
ters pub lblS enort W niaBuiiy personai as
sault upon the highest provocation deliberately
given, into a matter Of great national gravity,
is simply ridiculous and it will be SO regarded
by the rest of mankind generally. Sumner
used free licentious tongue, and met free
cane-that was all Why didn't he fight bet
teri If he had used his fist as well as his
tongue, he would have come out much better.
He is big enough and ugly enough If he
had given no personal provocation, the case
would be different; but he gave an unwarranta-
BILE insult, and might have expected just such
resentment as be met.-LouiSuille Journal.

The instructions addressed to Governor
Shannon by the President on the 23d ult., a
copy Of which was sent to Colonel Sumner and
BY that officer have been published, disclose
the policy Of the Administration in reference
to the unfortunatet troubles now rife in the
Territory Of Kansas. The repression Of law
less violence, and the prevention of civil war,
have been the prominent and pressing objects
which the exgencies Of the moment demanded
of Executive decision and energetic action
and it would appear that a misapprehension OF
orders previously issued to the Governor OF
Kansas, had delayed the recourse which those
orders in fact authorized, to the military power
Of the government, and had produced the less
efficient, and under the circumstances obiec
tiouable substitute, Of civil posse TO aid the
Marshal and other officers Of the law in The
service and execution Of process. The follow
ing is the telegraphic despatch addressed e
Governor Shannon by the President Of IN,
United States on the 23d Of May:
"Since my telegraph Of this morning wa,
sent, the Secretary Of War has laid before m,
Colonel Summers letter to you Of the 18th inst

dent, and hope that before this reaches you
