The Free Negroes and the South.

That class of politicians opposed TO ths
Presidents proclamation, which ho proposes
TO issue ou the Ist of January. for the gen.
cral emancipation of the negroes belonging
to those in rebellion at that time. are trying
TO mako tho people Of the North believe
that, as snon as the negroes are liberated,
thero will be an influx Of this entire popu
latinu into the Northern Statee.
The statistics Of 1850 develop the follow
ing facts: Virginia had "a ,333 free negroes,
while Ohio had 25 279
Maryland had II 723 FREQ colored persons
with only 90 OGS slaves. At this time Nsw
York had only 40 G69 free negroes
| The District oc Columbia had l0,059 free
| negroes and 3 6sS slaves. Delaware had
then IS O53 free negroes. and 2 200 slaves
North Carolina had 81 463 FREQ negroes.
Alabama had 2 2C3 free negroes. Georgia
had 9sl free negroes.
Illinois had only G 536 free negroes In :
diana had only II 2G2 free negroes; While
Louisiana had 1862 free negroes.
The white population Of Indiana was 977,-
l54, while the white population of Louisiana
was only 254 49l while Maryland, with a
population Of Az 943 whites, has popula.
lion of free colorcd persons of II ,623; and
New York, with a population of 3,Ol6. .325
whites, has 40 069 FREQ negroes.
These statistics clearly show the tenden.
cy Of the black race to remain in southern

Nothing but tho temptation OF freedom has

move that loadstone of liberty. By making

which VIC now have will soon disappear.

Voices Of Animals,

Thcrn is n chapter in tho natural history
of animals that has hardly been touched

tercstinp with reference to families. Tho

sido companions to the lions and tigers and
panlhcrs Of tho forest and jungle. This
last may seem a strange assertion; but to
auv ono who has listened critically to their
sounds aud analyzcd thor voices, the roar
of tho lion is but gigantic ni1n, bearing
about tho samo proportion to that OF tho
cat as It's stately and majestic form docs to
the smalIOr. softer, more peaceful aspect OF
tho cat. Yet, Notwithstanding tho differ
ence in their size, who can look at the lion,
whether in his moro sleepy mood, as he iies

The Widow.

To be alone in crowd, is indeed ter
rble, bu: TO be alone with grief in the
midst Of the thoughless, is thousand
times worse. So hard is it 10 stitle back
the sigh and drown the tear, so hard The
struggle lha, the hearts bitterness may
not be read of men.
We have seen The anguish OF the wild
ow'S face when she first mingles with So
ciety. The effort 10 keep even serenity
was melancholy one, little glance OF
devotion from fond husband TO lis wife,
or kind attention, and the tear started
till the eyes were brimmed. And then we
have noticed how the hand WAS clncheG
around some trihing object, a fan, the
string Of a relicule how the lips were
pressed together, the eyes gazing at what
they saw not-the quick fitting, hard
smies-the quivering Of the chin and
we have thought, "Oh what agony must
she be suffering, merely TO hide her suffer
ing. 10 hide the sorrow that lies deep
down, knawng at her heart
Wonder not that such trials add years
to The brow, and saP2~@ay the freshness
Of youth and beauty. II she has loved
truly, and that love has been returned
if the husband has been kind and tender,
supplying the places Of father, mother,
brother and sister-if he has watched
over her in sickness and in health-theu
indeed must she feel her loss an irrepara-
BILE one.
AT any rate, her situation is not sub
ject OF the cruel mirth that SO often finds
its way into the newspapers, and is the
comment upon thoughtless tongues. For
our part we can see neither wit nor sense
in the attempt to create laughter at the ex-
pense of the poor widow. She has trials
enough, heaven knows, striving with pow
! erty, which her honorable pride forbids
her to make public. She has often lifted
her head from a bosom that has always
sheltered her in veal or woe-to cringe
before the cold civililies of the slop-shop
clerks. She has gone away from tie
tomb TO eat the breBd Of dependence, per-
chance, and moisien her scanty food with
tears. God help the poor widow in her
loneliness, and forgive those who with
careless gbes and cutting mrth make her
soul feel a double poverty.

Two Fruits of Friendship,

No receipt openelh the heart but true

less.
The second fruit Of friendship is health.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. &C. 1862.
The President, Commander in. Chief OF
the army and navy, desires and enjoins tho
orderly observance of the Sabbath, by tho
officers and men in the military aud naval

measure of strict necessity. The discipline
and character of tho national forces should
not suffer, nor the cause defended imperiled
bv tho Proclamation Of the name and day OF
the Most High. At this tImo of public dis
trcss, adopting the words of Washington in
1875 men NAV find enough to do in the SER
yce of God and their country, without Aban-
douing themselves to vice and immortality.
The first general order Issued by the Father
of his Country after the Declaration of In

our constitutions wore founded, aud should
ever be defended. The General hopes and
trusts that ovory man will endeavor and act
as becomes a Christian soldier, defending
tho dearest rights and liberties of his coun-
