CoLoRED VETERANS OF 1815.-The New
Orleans correspondent of the N. Y. "Her-
aid" giving an account of the celebration
of the battle of Jan. 8, 1915, says: "But
the portion of the procession that attracted
most attention and respect was the fast
dwindling and venerable body of the sur
vivors of the "good fight" AS the old he
roes filed past, preceded by the identical
standard which forty-fve years ago they
had crowned with victory upon the plains
of Chalmette, every head was uncovered,
and the people cheered and cheered again,
while, from the windows and the balconies,
the waving of handkerchiefs and the win
ming smiles of the belle Creoles everywhere
greeted the brave old men. 1t might be
well for the believers in the "irrepressible
conflict" to note the fact, that not the least
honored among our "old defenders" were
squad of "colored veterans of 1815," who
marched side by side with those whom, in
former days, they had so efficiently aided
in repelling the British invader from our
soil.r

FUNERAL OF SLAvE.-The Fredericks-
burg (Va.) "Herald" of the 16thinst., says:
''The funeral of Armistead Walker, the
servant whose death was announced on
Saturday, took place on Sunday afternoon,
the 9th inst Although the day was incle-
ment, between eight hundred and a thou
sand colored persons were in attendance,
as also three or four hundred whites, in
Guiding large number of ladies. The
services took place in the African Baptist
Church. The discourse was preached by
Noah Davis, (colored, }, of Baltimore, FORM
erly of this place, and for years an init
mate associate of Armistead's in religious
work among those of their own color. The
sermon was remarkably appropriate, and
was listened to with great attention by both
whites and blacks. Had the day been
fair, several thousand colored persons would
doubtless have been present, besides many
more whites, for Armistead was not simply
respected, but was highly esteemed for the
many sterling qualities which shone con-
spicuously in his everyday life."

JNo. A. CoPELAND's HEAD.-A CORES
pondent of the "Congregationalist," writing
from Austinburg, Ohio, says: Il learn
from a reliable source, that when Prof.
Munroe, of Oberlin, went to Winchester,
Va, after the body of Copeland for his
friends, the students were SO incensed when
they found that an order was issued for its
delivery. that THEY INHUMANLY CUT OFF ITS

the memory of man runneth not back, there
have lived in the heart of Africa, in trop-
ical climate, millions of negroes, cultiyat-
ing the earth, manufacturing garments,
working in iron, steel and gold, inventors
of musical instruments, and living what
the old poet of the Greeks calls "blame-
less" life; and these negroes never saw a
white man, much less served him. Proof
of this is to be found in the writings of
Livingston, Barton, and Homer, and if
Charles OConor would like to have proof
to his own eyesight, let him go to De
Chaillu's collection, 635 Broadway, where
he will find what the negro is at home
Proof second: Tropical Africa is the only
paIt of the world which the white man has
never conquered, and which, moreover, he
dare not undertake to conquer. So that
the facts which Mr.. O'Conor, leader of the
New York bar, adduces in support of his
great law of nature in regard to negro
slavery, fatty contradict his law-the cob
ble-stones fly right in his face. He may
be capital lawyer, but he is poor phi
losopher He must come down peg or
two below Bacon, and Lavoisier, and New
ton, and Daubenton, and Franklin, and
even black Banneker. These men, ac-
cording to their several degrees, are known
to all time as the ministers and interpre-
tiers of nature" while this first essay in
philosophy, carrying him infinitely beyond
his depth, makes the leader of the New
York bar" but lstSus nature.
Peradventure we may be too hard ON
Mr.. O'Conor He is but recent student
of the laws of nature, which is very diff
ferent study from common and statute
laws; these vary-those are unchangable
Mr.. O'Conor is not only tyro in the laws
of nature, but it must be very recently that
he has come to the conclusion that in mat.
tiers like the one he discusses nature has
any law whatever. So recently as Sep
tember, 1857, he said, in the Supreme
Court of the State of New York, in the
case of Lemon, &C.: "The judicial depart.
ment has no right to declare negro slave.
ry to be contrary to the law of nature, i'm.
moral, or unjust, Or to make any rules OF
decisions tending to its suppression found
ed upon such ideas. The laa0 Of nature
as contradiStinguished from human laroS
he conceived to be something acholly imag
mary and unconstitutional as regards he
principles aOhich lie at the foundation Of
human society."-(Nea0 York Evenimg
Post, Oct. 1, 1857
Can any one who compares this quota
ton with the quotation from his speech at
the Academy of Music doubt whether Mr..
O'Conor was bred and born in Ireland ?
We utterly deny that he could have been
born in New York, or that he is, as has
been maliciously asserted, "a cross" be-
tween the Sixth Ward ami St. Patrick's
Cathedral. 0, Bar of New York, what a
splendid leader youhav ! 1t was said Of
Mr.. Humphrey Davy that had he not been
the first of philosophers he would have
been the first of poets. If Charles O'Conor
had not been the first oflawyers he would
have been the first of-we refrain, but
with the Saturday Press" earnestly be-
seech him to "Stick to has last"

consist Of a very weak cOnglomerutiOn Of stud. The
strongest point decidedly, is against the Republicans
but as there are none Of them at present in Virginia
that part Of their werk measuraby thrown away. We
are all against the sectonasm Of the Republicans The

The Brunswick CGA.) Ad0Oeate Breckenridge paper,
condemns in the strongest the duuiOn speeches
Of Mr. Toombs, and says We here assert our sol.

Don't the Advocate understand that there are some
Breeknridge orators whose hearts desire to see their
candidate beaten and like Seward at the North, who is
pretendiDg to advocate Lincoln making the most Of

Toombs and company is to bring about the election Of
Lincoln. and then force dissolution of the Union!
