even relates that colored regiment,
which had been on duty there, pre-
sented him and his fellow-prisoners,
on their leaving the fort, with well
turned iasttoE, expressing Their their sincere
wishes for their prompt return to
their homes and families.
We are not at liberty to divulge the
many interesting points Of historical
interest which, in the course of
friendly, cordial intercourse, the
Judge expounded in that quiet, clear
style which as lawyer and Judge
had made him so justly celebrated;
but we hope that they will not be lost
to the world, and that the classical
pen which has written so many learn
ed decisions will be employed in
perpetuating the memory If the i'm
portant .-ents witnessed by the Judge.
Governor Marvin, of Florida, in his
message to the Convention, expresses
the opinion that if the colored race in
this country can be fully and fairly
protected In their persons and pro-
perty, they may be stimulated TO be
industrious and economical, in order
to educate themselves and their chill
dren, and improve their physical,
moral and intellectual condition, and
become, not many years hence, the
best free agricultural peasantry for
our soil and climate that the world
has ever seen. But if denied protec-
ton and justice, they will be deprived
of the ordinary motives to industry
and economy.
A writer in the Cincinnati Gazette,
who has made three months tour
through the cotton States of the
South, as the result of his observa-
tions, advises Northern men of capt.
tai and enterprise to go South and
engage in the culture of cotton,
which, he thinks, for the next eight
or ten years, will pay better than any
other Investment. He speaks kindly
of the Southern people, and thinks
the Government might now safely
withdraw the military, and leave the
States to manage their own affairs.
The Lynchburg Tl'yinian, OF the
18th, says in reference to Gen. Kirby
Smith, that this distinguished gentle
man, late Confederate commander of
the Department of the Trans Missis-
sippi, reached this city yesterday
morning, direct from Cuba, where he
has been sojourning for several
months. His many friends will vel
come him back to the country again.
He comes in pursuance of authority
from Gen. Grant to do SO, to be placed
on the footing Of other Confederate
officers Of his rank
Later returns indicate that the
negro suffrage question in Wisconsin
is defeated by at least s, 5000 majority.

ORIGIN OF CAMP LETTINGS A cor
respondent Of the Boston Bee gives
the following version of the origin of
these popular religious gatherings:
cit has generally been supposed that
camp-meetings originated with the
Methodists, but history informs us
that the Presbyterians were first in
the enterprise. I not long since lis
tened to a sermon upon the subject,
from which gathered the following
facts: Two brothers, preachers, one
Methodist, the other Presbyterian,
were travelling in the State of Ten
nessee. They stopped at village to
spend the Sabbath. There being but
one church in the place, "a Presbyte-
rian, it was agreed they should both
preach in 1.-THE Methodist officiated
in the morning and the Presbyterian
In the afternoon. AS they we're very
jealous in the cause, they concluded
to hold meeting on Monday. The
excitement became 50 great that the
house was not large enough to accom-
modate the multitude, and they ad-
]ourned to a grove near by, and the
people came from far and near; some
bringing tents, others covered wagons,
and continued the meetings week
Hence the name Of camp-meetings,
though the Presbyterians have never
made it so prominent in their opera
tions as the Methodists, yet they share
equal in its origin. The Methodists
have ever since observed it, and as a
body feel as much obliged to attend
the annual camp-meetings as the Jews
did their feast of tabernaclcs.

always combining and arranging prac-
hcal Jokes of an elsewhere unheard of
nature. The ladies enter keenly into
this sport, anu dis5in i, vissii s.ie11soi,7a
in it. A gentleman of the French ma
ton who was visiting not long ago,
at the house of great Boyard, was
delighted at the attentions of lady
who formed one of the company. Be
fore the evening was over, she i'm
plored him to write to her. The en-
raptured Gaul complied and, on
going out to dinner on the following
day, learned to his dismay that his
letter was the general topic of conver-
sasion in polite society, and had been
handed about by his fair friend to all
her acqnaintances.
Two other stories are worthy of the
Decameron. A lady of high rank sent
her confidential servant to pay her
milliner's bill. It amounted to one
hundred and sixty ducats, or about
four hundred dollars of our money.
The roguish servant dressed himself
smartly, and sought the milliner. She
was one of the bellies of the city. He
made love to her; and, in earnest of
his wealth and iberality, pressed the
hundred and sixty ducats into her
eager hand. He became her accepted
lover. A few days afterwards, the
milliner saw him behind the carriage
of one of her best customers he let
down the steps the lady tripped in,
and casually mentioned the recent
payment of her bill. The milliner
blushed denial; the story got wind,
and was considered one of the best
jokes of the season by all parties.
The Wallachians, however, some
times meet their masters in practical
Joking. A Russian major made fierce
love to Wallachian lady noted for
gambling and gallantries.
"I want three thousand ducats,"
said the lady pleasantly.
"Here they are," answered the
major, with great politeness; ''but I
shall be at home tomorrow morning,
and the least you can do is to call and
thank me-" The lady went The
major locked the door and quietly
departed about his business. In the
course of the day, there was an un-
ceasing search made for the lost lady.
014c was CIACeu 10 Cl1c mouse Oh UQC
Russian major. Her husband fol-
lowed, and asked for his wife.
"Wife!'' sneered the major, II have
indeed a woman here somewhere, but
she is my slave. have bought her
for three thousand ducats. If she is
your wife, pay me back the ducats,
and you shall have her.
The exceeding wit of this joke sup
piled laughter among all classes for
months, and the major became one of
the most popular men in the country.
Such things seem incredible, yet such
things are.
1t is odd to hob-nob across the
table with man in diamond studs
who has just committed burglary;
to exchange jests with card-sharper;
and to look round on a company of
well-dressed ladies', who are each and
all the subject of some astounding
history.
