able
Our contemporary Of the Charleston Mercury
speaks thus of Mr. Frccmont:
The BLACK REPUBLICAN, NoMTNATIoY.-The
black-repubican convention has met and with
singular and most unexpected unanmity,
nominated for the Presidency, John Charles
Fremont, of South Carofina, North Carolina,
Virginia-we know not where he was b0rn.-
He is, however hy nurture and early life, Il
South Carolinian but according to our best
information, those who knew him in boyhood
and youth, and who cherished him for the
promise Of his remarkable talents, found in
him an unsafe friend and selfish companion
If these representations are true, he has now
completed the development of character
which his youth foreshadowed \ scuthcrner
by birth, he is the accepted and forward cham
pion of the worst enemies of the south reject
ing all political creeds or principles in the
intensity of his one idea-hostilty to her
Thus we have the spectacle OF northern
statesman, who, by his long career of wise and
conservative action, has secured the almost
unanimous approval Of the south as the candi-
date for the Presidency and ofn southern man,
untried in politics, save by very feeble and
ineffective career in the Senate, digniGed by
no one act but i>t-ight with brother Sen
ator, taken up by the north on the sole issue
Of sectional war.

CowHIDEs AND CoNslsTENcY.-We hear
great deal in the Free Soil papers of the hor-
rid cowhidings administered to Southern ne
groes. These cowhdes are manufactured en-
tirely in Yankeedom We believe there is not
a single mandatory of cowhides in the South

the negrots here originally, sell us the cow
hides to whip them with, and then make an
awful snivelling over the horrors of slavery

Launch of the Steam Frigate Colorado.


The Norfolk Herald, of the 2Oth ult., gives
the following account of the launch of the
steam lrisate Colorado, already briefly mem
toned:
At 10 o'clock, precisely, on yesterday morn.
ing, this huge lcvialIran began 10 move, and
with increasing force olided beautifully md
mmjeslcaIlNino her destined element where
she was welcomed by salvo from the guns of
the PEN ylvania, and hearty cheers from the
assembled multitude. So completely were the
arrangements of the constructor; Mr. s. II.
Hart y~trat not timber cracked aS she passed
rr1iA9he ways, and her entrance into the water
scNrce' y caused ripple, the impetus being so
slight that she stopped after going about twice
heE length. Il was really the most splendid
launch ever witnessed anywhere and the oc-
caSIoo drew together large crowd of some six
or seven thousand delighted spectators.
The river was swarming with sail boats and
steamers crowded with passengers, and nun.
bcr9 were in the yard and on the opposite shore.
About two hundred persons were on board the
Colorado at the time of launching, and the
ceremony Of "chrisening' was gracefully per-
formed by Miss Annie Dornin, daughter of the
rommandnnt of the yard. Much credit is due
to MIR. Hart for his admirable precautions, by
which he not only secured the safety of the
launch but prevented accidents of any kind
that could tend to mar the OCCASION
The Colorado is, we believe, the last Of the
Xix new steam lrigates ordered by government,
the others having been launched at different
periods.

The New STEAM FRIGArE WARAsu.-The
Philadelphia Evening Journal, of the 18th ult

The Steam frigate Wabash, recently
launched at our naval station, is now nearly
completed. As soon as she is fully fitted. she
will make trial trip, on which occasion a
a member of official dignitaries will be on board
20 witness her performances. The Wabash is
one Of the noblest vessels that has ever loated,
and as war ship, is destined to create sensa-
ton wherever she goes.

Messrs. Editors: The charitable and philanthropic
will find objects worthy Of their attention, by taking
survey Of the inundated district say from the boun
dairy Of the Upper Canal, up Benton, Liberty, and
Howard Streets and oil in the high Jackson
street, in the Fourth District. Walking up Howard
street, yesterday, was reminded Of the inundation
from the crevass in ls4s. That much distress and
suffering attends our feowcitzens in this part ofthe
city, there can be doubt. The water, though fallen
afoot or more still is at that height which prevents
all communication by the baker, market, and milk
carts. Some attempts by kindly disposed persons
have been made to alleviate the distress and wants Of
the INDECENT, but is apparent that much more can
be DONE which would be thankfully and gratefully
received. ~ KS

being shut out from the world by huge snow banks
and ce at the present. in this city, they are shut up

fully sustained by the present situation of the back
part of the First District Of CITY, If any of our
citizens are DESTROYS of rendering some service and aid
at the present moment, it suggested that they go
