Hon. A. H. Stephens delivered speech at
Charlotte n. c., last week, in which he sta
ted that she had every confidence in Gel.
Lee, and in the ability Of bis plans and move
ments; that the taking of Vicksburg and Port
Hudson was not SO severe blow to the South
as had been feared that there was no cause
for encouragement that the South would yet
gain her independence; that q reconstruction
Of the Union was impossible; and that while
ne built no hopes upon foreign intervention
vet awhile, he did not believe that the leading
foreign powers ever intended that the North
and South should be again unlted-they pre-.
ferred that the separation should be perma-
nent-but they considered both sides too
strong now and did not deem it good policy
on their part to interfere and put an end to
the war.
CONFEDERATE PRISONERS. About one
hundred and twenty-five Confederate pr,

ing picket duty, near Manassas, in the early
part of the week Among these were Capt.

femen Dulany Bruin, VIM. barley, Richard
Roland, Elisha Jackson, VIM Lewis and Geo.
Lyles of the Mount Vernon Guards, also,

INQUEST. Acting Coroner ". L. Penn
held an inquest yesterday afternoon, at the
Empire House, upon the body Of Elizabeth
Cunningham, young women about twenty
years Of age, who arrived in this place on
Thursday last, and died on Sunday night. The
investigation disclosed the fact that the de-
ceased came TO her death from natural causes,

BY JOHN MAHIN.
The Courier vs.. the Courier.
Our exceedingly anxious neighbor down the


Avenue was out again on Saturday in one Of
his characteristic leaders, in reply to the en-,
appearing in our paper Of the 1st day of Jan
ury; in which leader we exhibited the mora
effect the expected proclamation Of the Pres
ident, (giving the boon of freedom to an op
pressed and enslaved race,) would have upon
the equally enslaved whites Of the down.
trodden country of Europe. Unable to con,
trovert the self-evident truths which were
contained in our leader, he resorts to the old
worn out cry of equality" and "surplus Of
labor The folly and utter absurdity of this
cry has already been proven in a conclusive
manner, but the Courier still harps upon the
phrases In one and the same article, the
inequality of the races is placed nearly
alongside Of '.jostling"of free white me-
chanics from their work shops, by the swarthy
African, and ''swarms Of negroes are to be
transported to the counting houses of the
North" &c. Such reasoning-if this sophis-
try can be called by that name-places the
odium of inferiority upon the whites, else why
should these places be re-supplied, unless an
improvement could be effected by the change?
What necessity could exist for the supplying
of places which are now we'll filled, by
''swarms of negroes" unless these negroes
are better able to fill the places? The idea is
simply preposterous, and an insult to the in
telligence of Northern society. But what
need to enlarge upon this subject? No one
possessing grain Of common sense believes
that any such results are to foil ow from the
liberation of the blacks. No mechanic
believes heis to be jostled from his place by
an ignorant negro. And so with all other
classes of men. Even the editor Of the
Courier, when penning the article, was we'll
aware of the folly of the thing He does not
believe there will ever be general immigra
zion of the blacks to the North, being we'll
aware of the fact that their habits, disposi-
tons and natures are unsuited for this section
of the country.
In the Courier of Dec. 10th, we find the
following: H
colored individual drop
ped in our Office yesterday, for the purpose of
telling us that he was getting discouraged
'up Norf' He was anxious to return where
he could get something to eat without so
much care. He sighed for the land Of Dixie,
and was bound to get there by some hook
or crook. Success to him." .a..t
The idea contained in this paragraph
is that the negro is unable to obtain
a livelyhood in the North, where
he must enter into competition
with free and intelligent white man, to
which he was not equal. But there is no
necessity for wasting words on this. We
think that the old bugbear of negro equality
is pretty well played out, and that at least
the majority of citizens are not very much
troubled about negro competition.

q Inventive genius has been operating
upon the eye Of needle and produced an
improvement which enables the needle to be
threaded as well by the blind as by the sharp
sighted. 1t is done by means of a lap joint
in the eye of the needle. By laying the
thread over the eye and drawing it down to
the joint that portion. of the eye under the
