Reconstruction.

President Johnson is proceeding very cautious
ly in this work. The apparent unwillingness Of
the Southern Legislatures.to adopt those meas
ures which he has informed them are ''indspen-
sable'' 10 the restoration Of the States, has put
him on his guard and has evidently, shaken his
faith in their patriotism and honesty, He has
given directions that the Provisional Governors
of the several States, shall exercise their .func-
tons until relieved by special order. This will
probably settle the question against the admis-
sion of Repfesentatives to Congress from the Sc
coded States. r.. ''t@AsH

Indian Summer.

Short and beautiful is that lovely season
through which we are now passing. 1t is the
last football Of Autumn as he yields the sceptre
to his stern successor. The landscape is bathed
in warm, rich haze, while hill and valley,
meadow and upland, still adorned here and there
with gay Autumnal tints, shine with a subdued
but royal splendor. The sky overhead IS blue
as sapphire, curtained with few fleecy clouds
that hang in utter idleness. The insects, nvig-
GRATED by the genial warmth, have come forth
to add another hour to their brief day of Life.
and are sporting in the sunlight, unmindfu of
the morrow frost. Everything is invested with
certain dreamy languor, and nature herself
seems apprehensiye that each day may be her last.
This is the Indians hunting season, his har-
vest time, when he gathers in his store of wild
game for Winter usca From this circumstance,
the season gets its name An Indian tradition,
refers it to one Of their deities named Coutanto-
witt, who resides in the South, and sends warm
winds and sunny weather, favorable for hunt
ing.
Whittier speaks Of the season In this wise =

DIsGRAcRTUL PRocERDIRGs Wholesale arrest of
Boys .@aFor several weeks past there have been
>innumeTAble complaints from persons residing
near the city limits, onthe York turnpike, of two
rival crowds of boys, who have been in the hab-
it for several Sn adays Of meeting near Frisby'
woods and engaging in what they term stone
fights bat in. which they have several times
used pistols, andppon one occasion two carbines,
resulting ia the wounding Of two boys slightly.
The windows in the houses in the neighborhood
have been nearlyalI broken, several persons pass
ing on the road struck and injured, and in fact
the whole neighborhood had become alarmed and
left their houses. The participants were all boys
from IL to l6 years of age, who, upon the APP
proach of the police would scamper away, and
being feeter of foot than their pursners invariably
made good their escape. They had finally be-
come such intoerabe nuisance that the police
authorities were again appealed TO on Saturday
last and yesterday Captain Mitchell detailed about
fifteen policeman in citizens dress, TO break Up
the fights and arrest the paftieipants About noon
this force proceeded to the locality named and

the hands of proper men. That the best men
have not, mall cases, filled the position may be
known from The large number of appeals that
come before the circuit Court at every term.
1t is not possible for the Governor always to
select the best men from mere personal acquaint
ance. Aud we have no doubt he would be glad
to receive Recommendations for the appointment
of suitable persons throughout the county.

The Young Mems Christian Associ-

HI1Ous
This isfan association, organized by young
men of Baltimore, Tor mutual religious and INTEL
lectual benefit. There is nothing secteransin Is
character, being composed of members Of all re-
ligious denominations. Many young enfrom
all parts Of the country become permanent or
temporary residents Of the city as clerks, sales
men, students, mechanics, &C., who are thereby
cut off from the restraints of horne and the salu-
tary influences of religious associations. To sup
ply this want, to throw around this large and in
tereSting class chain of brothcrly sympathy and
guard them against the vices of city life, this as
socatiop was instituted Through the earnest
labors of its friends it has become firmly estab-
lished, and is now one of the leading social and
moral institutions Of the city AT $50 w Bal
timore street, they have good-sized audience
room for business and religious meetings besides
large library and reading ROOM furnished with
the leading literary and religious periodicals of
the day and choice collection of books for the
use Of members. The reading room is open dali
ly to all who wish to enter. They also publish
a monthly Journal, devoted to moral and reigi-
Gus reading and advertising. This Journal is dis
tributed gratuitousy throughout the city, and
will be furnished to Sunday Schools and INDECENT
neighborhoods throughout the country, on the
same generous terms. ..ftgs ,sse eaasg
The association has also made arrangements
to have course of lectures delivered at the Mary

day, evening, November 18th, Mr.. Oscanyan,
the celebrated Eastern traveller, delivers the first
of the course on . The Women of Turkey AS
none but the best lecturers will be employed, they
will no doubt be both interesting and profitable.
Tickets for any single lecture or for the entire
course, can be had of l.. NJ. Haverstick, at the

with copies of "The Young Mems journal" and
will send the same TO any Sunday School officer
