thrifty persons, with one accord they boast of
the better wages paid there, Of their indepen'
dsnce Of the personal constraint of masters in
business, and declare that abolitionism is not
only humbug with which to delude those Of
the North who have just about sufficient edu-
cation to make them pestiferous members Of
society, but q source of future evil against
which they are as ready to contend in arms
when the final struggle may come on, as are
the native sons of the South.
We never yet knew an Abolitionist who
professed to give his experience in the South,
who was not either so crazy or so lazy that he
could not make an honest living any where,
and therefore had taken to Specializing on the
fanatacismt and the sectional prejudices of the
ignorant in the North, as last resort to get
bread outside Of aims houses. The persons
to be consulted as to the real condition of
white labor at the South, by northerners really
anxious to learn the truth, are those of their
brethren, who, having gone South, have sufi
cient brains, industry and character to thrive
in their new homes; of whom there are tens If
not hundreds Of thousands-not the few dis
appointed blatherskiters who run over the
country maligning the South for their own
want of capacity and character to earn a
reputable livelihood anywhere.

Washington and its Poor.-We have re-
spectfully to say to honorable members of
Congress who have heard the arguments used
in both halls of Congress Of late, that /" this
w ashington does provide for those belonging
within its limits who are in need, as regularly
and amply as any other city in the world.
The present extra demand upon its citizens
arises from the fact that some three or four
thousand persons from the districts Of indi-
vidual representatives have recently been
collected here with their families, by theGov-
to construct sundry public buildings
The inclemency of the season has necessa-
rily caused those experimenting the construc-
ton of the works in question to deprive them
temporarily of the means of support; thus
throwing many of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. honest,
and deserving people, as they are-partially
upon the charity of our city, on which the
late Indictment season has drawn heavier, far
heavier drafts for provision for the needy
among those who are really our own people,
than ever before.

Business in Washington As we antici-
pated, the organization of the House has
already given new life to business in this city.
In the course of the last week it received an
impulse which will soon be doubled in its bene-
6sial effects for all of US who are in business in
the Federal Metropolis, from the millionaire
banker to the humble artizan who mends the
boots of his neighbor.
The Steamship Paoifc-we hear that the
Secretary of the Navy has promptly acceded
to the request of 1t. Hartstene, U. S. N, to
permit him to sail with the brig Arctic, in

out twenty days to-day. Those naval men
who know the Pacific we'll, entertain no fears
her safety.
