DemOraIizatIOn OF southern So

Getty.
The Southern oligarchy 9 few brief
years sgO seemed TO have the world in
q sling. They ruled their negroes on
their Plantations, they ruled the poor
whites and made them vote as they
pleased; they rule the North, the South,
the East and the Wcst-in 8 word, the
whole country. But times have sadly
changed. Their pride has been their
ruin. Being defeated st the ballot box,
they appealed TO the cartridge box, and
have teen STEADILY losing ground from
the day the frat SHOT was fired at Fort
Sumter. Half their territory have been
taken from them, hundreds of thousands
of slaves have deserted them, or refused
TO desert their homes with them; and
now we are told By the Richmond Wing
that the slsVes within their military
lines arc confederatiBg" With deserters
from their armies, and and will not work
unless they are closely watched. The
Whig says:
"Negroes left TO themselves will not
mske their own support. They will be-
come consumers, instead Of producers,
apsrt from greater injuries they would
commit, from their utter generalization
that will ensue, especially where they
are in large gangs, if relieved of the re-
strsint Of their managers. The country
is now full Of dsserters and stragglers,
hiding ia our mountains and swamps, and
in many instances cOnfederating with
negroes in marauding upon planters.
Remove the planters, and the country
will soon become an easy prey TO demor-
allied soldiers and skulkers and to ne
grOts who will become rapidly barbara
anized"
Deserted by the great body Of the
North, deserted by The poor whites, de-
serted by their slaves, the oligsrehs have
only the COpperheads left TO serve them.
SIC transit, ETC.
The remedy proposed by the Wing is
what might be expected of an organ of
the oligsrchy. Il is to provide by law
that the planters may be made an excep,
ton 10 the general rule, which forbids
The employment of substitutes.
In other words, the slave sristOcraoy
who cannot get into Office, are to be privi-
legged to stay ct home, while the DOOR
whites fight their Wash. CErOn.

Recent English papers refer in very
serious terms 10 the trihing and now al
most forgotten disturbance among The
negro troops ~ Fort Jackson. The Times
and the Index, the rebel organ published
in London, magnify the occurrence into
an cminous sign Of widespread disaflee-
ton among the colored soldiers. The
details Of the affair are curiously mis-
represented. A Rebel correspondent of
the Index states that the negroes not only
revOlted, but with truly barbaric taste fer
CHASTITY spectscles hung thirty al
their white officers over the walls
of the Fort. Two white regi-
ments, which were sent down TO sup
press the mutiny, were repnlsed, and
81 last accounts aeet Of gunboais was
preparing to reduce the Fort by q regular
bomb1rdmentl Ga these statements the
Iadsr found the theory "that another
great wall Of defence viii rise no "be-
tween the South and its ASSISTANTS" and
that the negroes are rapidly catching
the wild enthusiasm of the white popu-
lation in defence Of their country"
These statements require no refatation,
and IL would be cruel 70 deprive disheart-
ened secession sympathizers in England
the comfort they appear to find in them.

in these trcublous and litigous times the
big-wig lawyers look upon twenty FIVE,

one hundred and twenty Thousand
dollars for conducting two suits, and also
the case Of the most notorious of our
radical Republican attorneys, whose fee,
in certain celebrated mining company's

Mr.. j. w DolJear-Sir: We are de-
lighted and surprised at the ease with
which you have, in few hours, enabled
US to master the principles of Phonog-
raphy.
The system is brief, simple and admit
rably adapted to the wants of society.
1t can never be opposed, except by those
who are ignorant of its principles. Your
peculiar method of teaching it, renders
its attainm. Mt not a task, but an attrac-
tive pleasure. The text book you nse
(Pitman's ManusD is admirably arranged
for the pupil. By the invention of this
wonderful art Pitman has placed his
name high on the roll of human bene-
factors, and we think it should be taught
to every child in the land.
To occupy the idle hours of camp life
it might be taught to every company in
the army, without in the least interfering
with the duties Of the soldier, prevent q
worse use of those idle hours, and, we
believe its attainment would be valued
as highly as the pay received from the
Government.
