Though the devil, we read, was ga liar
a." from the beginning" we doubt that he never
equaled the above in combined falsetoOd and
malignity. How utterly baseless it is viii be
seen by the fall and clear testimony of our
correspondent, which we print herewith. The
negroes work abundantly and willingly whenever
paid for it-why should they work without :
Let. Gen. Sherman advertise that be will give
twenty thousand of them ten dollars per month
and soldiers rations, guaranteeing !hat he will
not remand them into Slavery, aud he can
have the men coming in faster than be can set
them to work. Give them fair chance, and
they will work well enough.
There ought to be some condign punishment
for this wholesale ltleling of the powerless un-
fortunates who were in lifelong bondage till yes
,erdny, and are still in the darkest ignorance.
No one could do it who was lot lost 10 oil
feelings OF humanity or sense of shame.

A Republican was recently demonstrating
with one OF the leading conspirators 10 IasiJ
the result Of our election for Mayor. "Why,
Opdyke's majority isn't over three hundred, "
was the pcttish response. The idea Of a Re
pubhcan's expecting to be returned ne chosen
to an Office ia this City, when his majority
wasn't over three hundred, seemed 10 him the
hight of absurdity and unreason.

II our Board Of Aldermen should oyerrule

the Legislature will thOughtfuily consider the

without one the last ten years, who believes
that our City would have been worse governed
or so heavily taxed We have capital PO-

good while to run; we have CrotOn Water and

HOW I'D HAVE GOOD CIDER.

progress Of the vinous and ace ic lamentations

served in just such state as NAV be desired. A
correspondent Of the Boston Journat says:
"Put the new cider in clean casks or barrels,
and allow il to ferment from one to three weeks.

is hes attained to lively fermentation, add to
each gallon three fourths of pound of white
sugar, and let the whole ferment again u til it
possesses nearly the brisk pleasant taste which
is b desirable should be permanent. Pour out
quart Of the cider, and mix it with one quarter
Of IN ounce Of sulphite Of lime for every gallon
the eask contains. Stir until it is intimately
mixed. and pour the emulsion into the liquid
Agitate the contents Of the cssk thoroughly for
