THE GENERAL AssEMBLY-Thisi interest
ing body representing the interests Of the
Presbyterian church in the South, finished
their iabors and adjourned sine die yesterday.
We have given much space to their conclud-
ing proceedings which viii well repay the
reader for his trouble. The Pastoral Letter
is a superior document, both in matter and
style. It is worthy Of note that q proposition
to establish liturgy, as part Of the church
worship, received sixteen votes. The advo-
Gates Of the change are quite hopeful Of
success at the next General Assembly.-Ma-

The Maintenance of Order.
rom the Mem phis Commercially

From the Memphis Commercially
The disorder and crime which it has been
our painful task to record, within the last
few days, enforce the dVty upon our citizens,
not only of vigilance but of unusual calm
ness, caution and prudence in dealing with
the circumstances of the case, and also in
avoiding any pretext for the renewal of the
outrages which have occurred. Apprehen-
sions have seized the minds of many persons
that even more violent scenes are meditated
but we see no ground to indulge such fore
bodings if all classes will act with becoming
prudence and moderation, discarding all
prejudice and resolving to discountenance
any act or language which may lead to vio-
lence. In the mean time the city authorities
will of course exercise proper precautions
in policing every part of the city and pre-
venting large and riotous assemblies. We
feel authorized in saying they will be sup
ported by the General commanding the Dis
trict
The very panic which is the natural re-
suit of apprehensions, generally indulged,
has a tendency to bring about state of feel
ing that may precipitate an unfortunate col
lision which all good citizens should use
every exertion to avoid This state Of feel
ing ought to be toned down to calmness and
moderation, and by no means ought the ap-
pearance of threatening to be exhibited.
Such ignorant freedmen as may have i'm
bibed the idea that the white citizens have
unkind dispositions toward them, should be
so treated as to reassure them of the kind
feelings of those whom they may have be-
lieved to be their enemies. There are not
many who have adopted such view, but,
on the contrary, we believe that the great
mass Of them will readily believe in kind
disposition, of which they have had evidence
all their lives, if encouraged so to think, and
if we are not too ready to visit the sins of
the worthless and vicious upon them. 1t is
proper that kind dispositions should be en-
couraged, to prevent any probable scenes of
violence. The law should take hold of the
guilty, but not mobs, in any case, which lead
to retaliation. When this begins the wisest
cannot see the end.

The London Times willing to Give Up
Canada.

The London Times indulges in 4 friendly
editorial towards America.
Apropos of Secretary Stewards reply to the
Lincoln coincidence addresses, after lauding
the efficiency of the United States Govern
ment in times of great and unparalleled
difficulties, the Times says word or two
about the present feeling in England towards
the United States. ave have not the least
objection to the United States increasing to
any extent and annexing any amount of
territory or number of States, so long as it is
done honestly, above board, and By our
appeals to the sympathy and good sense of
the people If the population of our OWE
provinces, or of Mexico, freely and spon-
taneously declared that they thought this
their best chance of peace and prosperity,
the British people would only feel the most
passing regret at the loss of a name and the
proportionate aggrandizement of the United
States. Only as a great State we cannot bear
to be ousted, outwitted and coerced, and TO
see our own people suffer for their loyalty"

THEVIRGINIA SENAToRs.-Th Philadel-
phia Inquirer, a bitter opponento of the Presi-
dents policy, says in its Washington cores
dence of Sunday last:
John Minor Bolts, the ex-Rebel Major
General Anderson, of Tredegar Iron Works,
and Brigadier- General Archer arrived here
together yesterday, from Richmond. The
two former are candidates for United States
Senators, and will probably be elected as the
present Legislature is disposed to ignore the
doings of the Alexandria Legislature. This
move to choose Senators is an alliance of the
Union men of the John Minor Bolts and +.
II. Pierpoint pattern, and reconstructed
Rebels of the Anderson stripe.
Owing to the completely of Bolts in Rebel
contracts in the early part Of the rebellion,
he cannot take the test oath. Gov. Pierpoint
is in favor of his election, but though he is a
plant tool in the hands of all the Virginia
politicians they will never allow him to be
chosen to any important position.

by the reading Of any Of these powerful 70
Electors Of public opinion.
Had we time and space We would like to
look at tho reverse Of the picture. Wha'
has all that beautiful region that has oee"
accused by slavery, done for literature
Where are the Southern poets-the SOUTH
ern bi.torian,-thc Southern reviewers!
Echo answers. where. II all the books writ.
ten within the past Inrty years in the whole
land Of secession, whether in poetry or prose,
should be gathered into one mass to DO
burned up as was once the great AleSandrian
library of Egypt, how small would be the
loss to the literary world! There never was
slaveholding literature there never can
be. Slavery can be maintained only in a
community where the mass Of the people,
whether black or white, are kept in igno-
rance and degradation. There can be no
common schools-no universal education IN
slave region. From the very nature OF the
case, therefore. there can be but few writers
or authors. The most distinguished indivId'
uals of this class have sprung not IRON the
aristocracy not from the rich and the ex.
alted-so much as from the humber classes
from the self.made the selt.educated -
from those who have struggled through dill
fculties.
If these things be ~, who can doubt the
triumphant issue Of the contest we arc wag.
ing with the originators Of the rebellion and
the blighting influences engendered by the
constitution they sought TO uphold? The
issue is in behalf OF human freedom -of
universal liberty and knowledge - the over.
throw OF oppression and wrong. A God OF
infinite justice is on our side. The public
opinion of mankind is in our favor and the
literature Of the age is the eloquent reflector
q that opinion.
