We take the following passage from letter
Of the regular Washington correspondent of
the New York Evening Post:

gave sufficient evidence that the statement of

ence TO him land which las been doubted in

speech, that he would never draw his sword so
long as slavery was protected by the Govern
ment. The tone of his remarks on this head
was not very encouraging. That | may not

He was not fully satisfied with the drift of af-
fairs He believed the President to be an hon.

A Fair HIT.

From the n. Y. Tribune
The New York Herald has entered upon a
discussion with the Angto-A frieqB-the organ
of the colored people of TINS city-upon the
respective merits of the two papers. As it is
IA interesting question, we copy the reply OF
the African 70 the Scotehman:
TIE n. I. HERALD AND THE ANGLo-AFRIcAE.
In an article in the Herald, of April /, en-
titled THE Negro in Town." that paper takes
occasion TO poke fun at the comparatively
stringent pecuniary circumstances OF our hum
bic issues, monthly and weekly. A friend, On
reading this fling, bids US not TO be diseour-
aged. He assures US that one of the largest
newspapers In the city was
Born in garnet, in a kitchen bred;''
that said paper, twenty odd years ago, emerged

day the editor made nioet pIteous appeal for

save his paper from ruin. This frlend--a CO.
lored mechanic then, g retired merchant now
had made up his mind to go and lend the
editor In question three hundred dollars, when,
ON opening the paper next day, he found d
violent attack against the negroes. This shut
up that gentlemans pockets, but he understood
mat a eoIored brother, Jour namesske, but no
relation,) did lend the editor of that sheet The
three hundred dollars, and thus saved the
New York Herald from an early death. So

On the James River-Rebel Battery and
Ruins Of Church, jam esloW a Island.

jamestown, the first settlement in British
America was founded by the famous John
Smith and bis companions, May ID, 1907.
Our sketch represents all that now remains of
1.-THE tower of the church, which is undoubt-
edly the Oldest in America. The first church
was burnt in the winter Of that year, since an
old history says, "Good Master Hunt, our
preacharSlost all his library, and all he had
but the clothes on his back. This happened
in the winter, in that extreme frost, 1907
The spring approaching, Mr.. Scrivener and
Capt. Smith divided between them the re-
building of Jamestown-the repairing our
palisades, the rebuilding our church and re-
covering our storehouse. All men thus busy
at their labors, Master Nelson arrived with his
lost Phoenix" 1t would seem that similar
fate attended this second church, for Sparks,
in his life of John Smith, quotes from that
chivalrous mans account this passage: In
March, 1917, they set sail for England and in
May they arrived, under command of Samuel
Argall at jamestown, where they were kindly
entertained by Capt Yearley and his COM
psny, in n martial order whose right hand
file was led by an Indian. In jamestown he
found but FIVE or six houses the church down,
the palisades broken, and the colonists dis
psrsng themselves about planting tobacco"
From these extracts it is evident that previous
to 1917, or ten years after the first settlement
of jamestown, there had been two churches
destroyed. The tower. therefore, sketched by
our artist, and which stands the solitary relic
OF that once famous town, undoubtedly be-
longed to the third church erected here. 1t
is, in all probability, about 240 years old.
Close to this old tower the rebels have erected
an earthwork battery. The land on which it
stands, and the surrounding country, has been
long in the possession of the Amber family,
and il in pretty good cultivation.

Breckenridge on the Double euiok.tep

The slime made by breckenridge shoddy
followers on the morning of the fifth in their
retreat from Baton Rouge, deserves public
mention. They began the retreat at ten
o'clock, and at twelve they were ten miles dis.
tant from the scene of their in lorious repulse.
This is certainly the " best time on record"
Mr.. Breckenridge always ran well before the
people. He understands running. On this
occasion he ran to fight another day, perhaps !;
but 1t is our judgment, jefferson Davis, when
he hears of this exploit will hang him up to
dry, right beside MI. Mansfield Lowell. Why
not Breckenridge is no more of soldier
than Lowell. But let US forget him. He is
the meanest traitor ever raised in Kentucky.
just think of it. He had fifteen regiments
of infantry, body of cavalry, and ten pieces
of artillery, and yet he was pushed off the
field by a force not one fourth his numbers.
To our apprehension, this fight at Baton
Rouge is, in its results, one of the most signal
victories Of the war. What with the total
rout of the ragged starvelings of Breckenridge
the "skedaddling party" as somebody sty led
them yesterday-and the destruction of the
ram Arkansas, the day deserves to be remem-
bered,-N o. Delta
