Colonization of the Africans.

Senator S. G. Pomeroy has, by request
of the President. consented to organize
emigration parties of free colored per-
and been commissioned accordingly
This genteman's former experience in or
ganizing emigrant expeditions for the set
tlement of Kansas and Colorado. affords
guarantee of happy consumation of his
present plans. The Government proposes
to send ont the emigration in good steam
ships. and provide them with all the neces-
sary implements of labor. and also susie
nance until they can gather harvest
The Senator has prepared an address with
the sanction of the Preaident, in which he
exhorts colored men to avail themselves of
the opportunity that presents itself to Sc
cure the elevation, freedom and social po-
sition of their race upon the American
Continent He proposes on the lst of
October to take 100 colored men as pio-
neers, to equal with their families 500
souls, under the provisions and appropri-
ations of Congress, to Chiriqui. New

Washington. All persons of African de-
scent are invited to send their names, the
number, sex and ages of their families to

Sixty acres of lend are to be given to each
family of over FIVE persons, 40 to those of
less number. and 20 to single adults
One eighteenth of the land is to be reserv-
ed for school purposes, and is to be for
feited unless a school and church be built
within three years. Alr. Pomeroy is au-
thorized to build store houses, arsenals
and other buildings. The Chiriqui Tran
sit Company offered the Government,
some years ago, four mil ions Of acres for
$500. 900. and have recently offered it to
Mr.. Lincoln for $4,000. They were.
however. persuaded by General Pomery
that it was for their interest to give it TO
the United States, reserving a right of
way. town site. and the mines The
land thus appropriated. stretches from sea
to sea. and is represented to be fertile and
productive of rice, coffee, cotton and sugar.
There is said to be harbor on each coast.

The Black H0rsemen of the Shel-
1 andoah Valley.

The t.Black Horsemen" of the rebels in
Virginia have become celebrated for their
achievements. ani have done more, per-
haps, than any other rebel military organ
ization, to inspire our army with apprehen-
sion and the enemy with confidence
Their history is not devoid of interest
Several years ago the leading Shareholders
of Fauquier county, Virginia. organized
secret political association. under the title
OF "Black Horse men," The Black Horse
was regarded as a symbol of the negro
ra ce; and no one was admitted to member
ship who was not slave owner. War
renton was the place of meeting; and. like
the Knights of the Golden Circle. secret
pass words and signs were employed to
apprise the initiated of the presence of
brethren. They were bound by the obli-
CATION of mutual aid in defense of their as
sociation. and of Southern Rights" gen.
orally. They controlled the political mat
ters Of that section of Virginia, and no
person who did not subscribe to their con-
stitution and principles could be elected to
office
The raid of John Brown was the signal
for them to assume military character.
They appeared in force. and were found to
represent the whole district of country
They were brought out to defend Harper's
Ferry and assist at the execution of Brown
and his coadjutors. 1t was the parading
of these men around the scaffold OF the
brave old man that caused that barbarous
delay of ten minutes after the adjustment
of the rope and cap and the placing of the
victim on the drop, prior to performing the
last act of the tragedy.
Upon the opening of the war. the COM
mander of the "Black Horsemen," gave
notice that he intended to make every at
tack on Sunday. and invited all the people
to unite in prayer on that day for the sue
cess of the rebel cause. so that. perhaps,
they might be invoking Heaven in bis be.
half at the very time that he was charging
upon the Union army. The people of the
valley are enthusiastic in their adherence
to this organization. and they cling to its
symbol, the s'black horse" or negro, with
romantic devotion, as did the Cameronians
of Scotland two centuries ago. to the Sol
emn League and Covenant. They are per-
fectly fanatical in the matter. They detest
Northern men and adore the rebel cause.
Perhaps nowhere. not even in South Car
olina. Mississippi or Arkansas. are the
population SO yenomous in their treason
and hatred OF the American Union.-New
York Post.
