A WORD For THK " IIETEs

" Emancipation says the N. 7. World,
Ehl doubtless, In the next generation, be
coed to the negro race. If they are meanwhile
trained to habits Of thrift and VIRTUE" Vety
true and also this, that emancipation will
doubtless, In the nc1t generation, be good
10 the white race, If they ere meanwhile
tra!ned to habits Of thrift and virtue. The
system Of slavery has reduced bath these
races at the South to state Of woful IN
thrift and low order Of virtue. It Is difficult
to determine which color has received the
greater Injury. Many believe that tho true
elements Of manhood remain. most Intact
among the black race. The whites are GER
talnly In most deplorable condition. They
are unaecustomed to work and consider H.
bor disgrace. Their business operations
have been conducted on plan precludfnE all
ideas Of: thrift and economy Their lands
bare been exhausted with utter recklessncss
regardless Of future production, and every
thing has been dorc In the most shi{sless way.
Their disregard and violations OF the
laws OF God, ind their assumed relations to
their fellowmen 40 prostitutsd their inuate
ideas Of vlrtue that the distinction between
right and wrong became very doubtful in
their minds. and they have been capable of
the most enormous atrocities with, apps-
rently, no Just conception Of the crime.
Slavery las perverted this white tacc To
very degraded condition. 1t becamc unfit to
appreciate tho nature and blessings Of free
end enliehtened form Of government, and
attempted to escape from the rule Of liberty
aud equal rights and establish an empire
founded on cas:e and human oppression.
They staked their all in desperate struggle
10 rzeserve their p;lde and power. They
rare utterly failed aud are bankrupt in every
sense. slAyeEy has bcEefk them Of psoperty,
political rights mud recuperatiyo power.
Emancipation has rendered It possible for
+eood - to come to this unfortunate white
race. Not Immediately, however: coerced
fmanrInatton fas snoi1ed their temnar and
despo1led them Of their human ehattcl,

SERIOUS TROUBLE AMONG THE Ne
G1oEs.-A correspondent of the Balti-
moro Duay Gn=cHe, writing under date
August 30, furnishes the following:
Last night the whites were consid-
erably startled by cries of rally" !"
turn out" &c, and they awoke to
find some four OF five hundred negroes
armed, marching up and down the
streets, and statloning men ut their
doors to prevent their cgress. The
negroes We're provided with weapons
of all kinds, lnuskets, carbines, pis-
tolls, &c, and We're firing up and down
the street, whilst large crowds of them
in the centre of the town were listen
ing to a speech of one of their num-
bcr, and greeting him with frequent
cheers. They kept it up until day
light, and finally wound up with cries
to the effect that they had cleaned
OUT the ID rebels, and with threats
pas to future and similar action. The
whites, of course, anticipated violent
and the few that have any
arms were obliged to be on the watch
inside their houses all the night. No
troops were sent up from Fortress
Monroe to put down the riot, and the
small provost guard stationed in the
town yas of no use whatever, and
made ND attempt to quell the disturb
ance, bnt only added additional vio-
lence to the scene by its drunkenness
and qualreling.
Although no one was injured, still
these proceedings show that the ne
groes are armed, organized, and dan
gerous. Many of them have been in
the service and are able to use their
weapons with effect. OF course the
white people feel very insecure, and
as but few have any arms, and being
In proportion to the blacks rs but one
to one hundred, are at the mercy of
the latter.

abolished, 1T IS clear it can only be
done safely and wisely by the States,
md ecclusirely by Meia' authority. So
tar as the proposed amendment of the
United States Constitution to accom-
plish it is concerned, that is an affair
for the Legislatures OF the States.
The Convention ought to have nothing
to do with n matter already, By the
''egulc,' course of the Constitution,
committed to the Legislatures of the
States. But may not the Convention
IN each State decree the emancipation
OF the slaves? Of course they can; !;
although they are not called on to do
SO by the oath prescribed i'll Presi-
dent Johnson's proclamation. That
oath is Ito abide by and support"
President Lincoln's proclamation de-
clarlng emancipation. One may abide
by and support Il law without urging
further Legislation concerning it.
Every man who takes his seat in our
State Legislatures, or in the Congress
OF the United States, swears to sup
port the Constitutions of the respec-
tive States and of the United States.
But does this oath obligate him to
'AeSA viz NOlISt1llClOu VI CilC kCGuUC OF
the United States? Does the support
of any law require one to vote for
amendments to it, which others may
deem it cxpcdicnt to offer? Certainly
not. To support Il llw or constitu-
ton, may mean merely that you will
abide by it, and will not violate it
yourself, or aid others in violating it.
This is all that all the oaths contain
Ell In constitutions require of legislu-
tors. The oath required by President
Johnson's proclamation, therefore,
does not obhge any member of State
Convention to pass an ordinance abo-
fishing slavery AS to the intimation
that unless the Conventions abolish
slavery the States will not be admit
ted into the Union Of the United
States, it is unnecessary to trouble
ourselves. The Conventions are as
sembled to return the States to the
Union, by an expedient and form
which the authorities of the United
States have themselves ordained. If
the States re-adopt the Constitutions,
with which they have been heretofore
members of the Union, they cannot
he rejected. We have not doubt
they will be admitted

SERIOUS SrABB1NG AFFRAY IN Mo-
B1LE.-Yesterday morning, in the Of
tlce of the Battle House, Mobile, Col.
Charles Forsyth, son of the Mayor of
Mobile, stabbed and cut Signor De

The assault occurred in this wise: For
syth accused De Veyga of seducing his
(forsyth.s) wife, whereupon De Veyga
slapped Forsyth in the face, when
Forsyth stabbed and cut De Veyga so
severely that he is not ex xpected to re-
cover. Mr. De Veyga is u native and

some time, however, on the staff of
MAJOR Gen. Maury, while that officer

Letter from Madame Lcvcrt.
The Mobile 73.i6me. of the Oath,
gives publicity to the following private
letter from Madame Levert, CT Mobile,
now temporarily stopping IN New
York:
FIFTH AVENUE HOTEL, Aug. 6, 1865.
DEAN FRIEND: write to tell you of
our safe arrival here, at this magnifi-
cent hotel. We had Il most delightful
voyage to New York There was not
wave sufficient to rock the immense
steamer, the North Star, or cloud to
dim the sunlight during all the weeks
of Our sea wanderings.
find New York full of Confederate
officers, (many just out of prison. J
They are most kindly treated here.
AT superb supper party given to US
by Mrs. T., there were five Con-
federate Generals-IIarmaduke and
Wheeler among the number-and
colonels, majors and captains in pro-
fusion
The Copfcderates are dined and
supped by the very men they fought
against. Every one expresses the
highest admiration of the Confede-
rates, and have not yet heard one
word of bitterness against the South.
Two publishers called on me, hearing
[ intended writing t'Souvcnirs of the
War" They made me great offers if
| will publish. I have serious
thoughts of doing so. I assure you
[ will do justice to the heroic Southern
soldiers. I often feel it my duty to
let the world know that the annals of
all times do not hold parallel to the
self-sacrifice and heroism of the
Southern soldiers. They were cursed
In many Of their leaders, but ennobled
in others. I wish you were here to
enjoy this delightful hotel and these
pleasant days. Major O., of Texas, is
here. He says that ''Ben Lane is the
most gallant man in the world, and
the coolest in battle.''
Although we have not sent our cards
to any one vet, many of our friends
have found us out, and throngs have
been to see me, inviting us to dinners
and parties (supper parties at this
seasonD and every one manifesting
the greatest respect and delight to see
us once more in New York.
1t is said there is an effort being
made by politicians here to get ND
another revolution in the South. So
much money was made during the
war that they wish it to begin again.
God grant it never. never may.
An Old friend to wlfom NY beloved
papa rendered some great service in
the ''long long ago." invited III

to Europe, Offering to pay all +
expenses. Iwould gladly have gone.
but o., and n, preferred to remain
here rather than cross the Atlantic
again, to stay three months, and We
declined. Was not this offer evidence
that there is gratitude even in this
hard age? [ am just as grateful to
the excellent friend Of my dear papa

VOICE OF THE "GIBRALrAr OF DE-
MocRAcY. THE Democracy of the
time-honored Democratic County of
Berks, Pennsylvania, held one of
their "old-fashioned' county meet
ings few days since, and adopted !.
series Of eloquent and forcible reso-
lutlons. We have not room to pub
lish all their proceedings, but cannot
omit the resolutions endorsing the
restoration policy of President John
son, and approval of the Congression-
al course Of that firm and faithful
sentinel and leading Representative of
the Democratic party Of that State,
the Hon. S. E. Ancona:
RcSolceI, That the time will soon
come when' the passions of the war
have cooled, and nothing remaining
but its terrible burdens and its dark
and bloody memories, the people will
universally recognize the infamous
conduct of the Black Republican ma
jority in the Congress Of the winter
OF 1860 and 1861, in refusing their
support to any scheme of Cancellation
even to submit the Crittenden Com
promise to q vote Of the people. An
drew johnson said, on December Is,
1860: ''This Congress here to-day has
1t IN its power to save this Union,
even after South Carolina has gone
out: Ii Washington and Jefferson
and Adams, Notwithstanding their alb
horrencc of the foreign slave trade,
did not feel dishonored in permitting
its continuance for twenty years, in
order to create the Union, the Sum
ners and Wades and Wilson's might
we'll have yielded something of their
fanaticism to preserve it. The future
will hold them responsible.
Resoireei, That we approve and en-
dorse the constitutional principle an
nonnced by the Executive of the Uni
ted States, that to the people of the
respective States alone belongs the
right to regulate the qualifications of
voters; and we believe that any at
tempt to interfere with Oh control that
right, either by military force or Con-
gressional trickery, will be palpable
usnrpation Of power, which will in
good time be corrected and avenged.
W"shinyton Union.
