The Illinois Constitution.

The most remarkable feature of the new
Constitution of Illinois, is the Punishment
of free negroes from the State. 1t throws
the emphatic " Order No. g." of General
HALLEcK, entirely in the shade. Here is
the Illinois order, as issued and ratified by
the people:
No negro or mulatto shall migrate to or set.
tie in this State (of illinois, after the adoption
of this constitution.
No negro or mulatto shall have the right of
suffrage. or hold any office in this State.
The general assembly shall pass all laws
necessary to carry into effect the provisions
of this bill.
No intelligent contraband," though
crammed to the eye.lids with " important
intelligence" can be admitted hereafter into
the State of Illinois. The moment he places
bis foot upon its prairies, he will be sent to
the nearest Jail, and at the first convenient
opportunity will be taken to the State line
and ordered to leave forever. And what is
still more striking about the matter is, that
in issuing this broad and sweeping order
for the exclusion of negroes, a large majority
of the voters of Chicago, which has always
been considered a Republican city, have
participated.
The order seems to US unnecessarily
stringent, and is repugnant to our sense
of Justice and natural rights, but we must
concede to the people of Illinois the right
to manage their own domestic affairs in
their own way, "subject only to the Consti
tuition of the United States"
The Chicago papers received last night
indicate that the majority for the new con-
stitution will not be very large.

"A female teacher in one of the pub

"A female teacher in one of the public
schools in Washington is accused of severely
reprimanding one of her scholars for dar-
ing to offer composition, the theme of
which was The Star Spangled Banner"
The child was told that compositions on
subjects of that kind would not be received,
and that an attempt to offer them hereafter
would be punished.

The foreign trade has suffered more in
proportion in this branch than any other,
and the above comparison is full expana-
ton of this result. Only $34,62O6l8 in
foreign dry goods landed in New York in
eleven months This is only half the total
landed here during the eleven months which
included the crisis of 1857.
This is a sample of conversation be-
tween Colonel Marshal of the 18th New
York and rebels at Pamunkey:
Proprietor-Colonel Marshal, 1 believe?
Colonel M.--You believe right, sir.
Proprletor--Well, Colonel, you have tram.
pied down my clover field and completely
destroyed it. Do you intend paying for it?
Colonel M.--Well, sir, are you loyal?
Proprietor--Yes, sir.
Colonel Mare you willing to take the oath
of allegiance to the United States?
Proprietor-No, sir.
Colonel M.-Then get JEFF. Davis to pay you,
and get out Of my tent you Internal traitor.
