The Crescent gives an incident in this morn
ng's Issue, illustrating feature of Southern So
ciety since the war. A relic of the past is seen
in man, bearing upon his face and body the
impress of many years. This man walks the
streets daily, bearing the marks of misfortune
amid the friends be had known in better years.
but with an appearance so chsnged, one can
hardly recognize in him the Mercutio of the
Crescent City, the gay. witty aad elegant gentle
man, who was at one time the very leader of
fashion. Seedy habiliments, bent body and
wrinkled face, have neariy ooliterated all in him

fifty thousand dollars a year. and received a
single fee of fifty thousand dollars upon a claim
on real estate in the lower part of the city This
wealth he scattered with princely generosity and
royal profusion. He was a Lucullus at home,
and his Inequalities aspired to all the magnif-
cence of the ancient Roman nobleman.

Southern people. 1t is not a rare sight here to
see threadbare man passing by his own fine
house in possession of the military, casting one
sad glance toward it, and then moving on as
cheerful and assigned as if he had come from the
familiar doors. In every Southern city can be
seen the same noble men, ruined by the war, yet
content in the thought that the sacrifice was

Ravagcs OF war I'm virginia.

A correspondent of the New York Tri;-
bune, who has travelled by railroad from
Washington to Richmond, says.
1T was depressing to travel l6O miles
over country that nature created for gar
den, and to witness the ravages of civil war.
In no other part of our whole country can
so much of the desolating effects of war be
seen, as in this trip. As far as the residence
Between Alexandra and Gordonsville, 81
miles, but one Church remains standing
The Catholic church at Fairfax At Ma
nassas, where 40 or so houses stood before
the rebellion, now 40 or SO chmneys and
cellars tell where the village once stood; not
a house remains. There were no signs of
cultivation, and the land had all returned
to its original state of meadow and patur-
age. Here and there, loborers, living in
tents, was culling out the best of the grass
and cutting it for winters use. But the
vast majority of natures products for that
hundred miles distance, will go to seed to
decay, and only be useful in manuring the
land for another year. 1t was one vast pas
ture-feld of nature, without creature to
food on its juicy richness. The timber has
all melted away The labor of man for
two centuries has almost entirely disappear
ed, except the railroad running through it,
And the railroad had evidently been greatly
frightened during its construction; for when
it met hill it lodged around it; when it
came to a rise it skinned over it, and it
sunk deeply in the bosom of the valley, in
in fact it accommodated itself to nature s
desires and the lay of the land"

A miserable, helpless collection of ne
grocs, numbering about three hundred,
came down the Southsidc railroad Saturday
evening, from the counties of Charlotte,
Mccklenburg and Nottoway, principally,
sent here, we suppose, because of the ina
blity of their former owners, and the un-
willingness Of their natural protectors to
provide for them. The band consisted of
women, children and helpless old men, and
they could not but have excited the sympa-
thy of every beholdcr. They were taken
to the pen on High street, where the mill
tary authorities will doubtless do their best
to supply their wants.
What is to become of these poor crca
lures in the future is question still un-
solved and filed with the most serious and
painful suggestions.
We can state, on the authority of one of
our ablest physicians, that the average
deaths amongst these individuals who come
down to enjoy their freedom in the "Pen, "
is from six to eight per diem. This, of it.
self, ought to bccnough to keep them away;
but in addition to this, they will find very
little consolation from the soldiers of the
Federal army to whom they generally e
for any redress. We suppose that thos,
who go back to their former homes altel
II trip down here, are very much like tn,
fox in the iabc-thcy want all their fricnd
to come down and try the same thing tha
they did. We noticed quite caravan on
the street last Saturday Of all ages, sizes
sexes and complcxions.

The Secession Doctrine Of All.
OIItiOuists.

General Frank p. Blair, in his speech at
the late Republican meeting in Lexington,
Ky, thus paid his respects to the secession
theory of the Abolitionists. lie said;
But certain statesmen aud politicians of
some of the New England States have ta-
ken il into their heads that the rebellion
has carried certain states out of the Union.
They adopt the doctrine ofthe seccssionists,
and proclaim that the Union was virtually
dissolved. MIR. Chase and other gentlemen
distinguished like him, have given their
opinion, not, probably in so many words,
but really in effect, that these States have
ben out of the Union--that the Union has
actually been dissolved 10y the acts of seces-
sion of these States. In that respect they
do not differ from jeff. Davis or any other
gentleman of that kind laughterl, the DIFF
ference between them being about the same
as the difference between tweedle DUN and
tweedlc dee. One side saying they are out,
and the other you are out. One saying,
let us 60 and the other let them go'-be-
cause this is exactly the thing Mr.. Chase
did say. Now they claim-these same pol
iticans claim-that the UDion having been
dissolved, and these States having been sub
jugated, they have the right to impose con-
ditions upon their return to the Union.
Among the conditions is one that Congress
has right to prescribe who shall be entitled
to the elective franchise in these States. "

New England.

As New England seems determined that
the negro shall vote, and that he shall re-
ceivc a certain price for his labor, the prop
or way to accomplish this is to have the ne
groes moved into New England. This
would place the negro under the exclusive
control Of New England, and that country
could then have the matter of miscogcna-
ton, negro suffrage aud negro wages all its
own way. There could be no more quarrel
ing over the negro, and New England, as
well as the rest Of the country, would obtain
permanent peace.

1t would have been much better for the
President if he desired any additional inlor

Several thousand dollars have been OK

well. On the 18th inst, the Indians shot

were on their track, and then chased the
keepers ofthc dogs when they came. The
dogs cost about eight hundred dollars each.
