Death of General DUFF Green.

We have the report by telegraph that Gen.
Duff Green, of Alabama, and widely known
throughout the country as a political writer,
died at Mobile on the 10th. Gen. Green was
many years ago the publisher of the United
States Telegraph, at Washington, and at that
time was official printer to Congess. He has
also been connected with many public enter
prises during his long life, including railroad
and banking interests, located chiefly in the
Southern States. Since the war he lived in
the South, chiefly in Georgia, and his health
has been failing for some time. f

Plain Talk to the CoIored People.

On our first page we print to-day, circular
from the Assistant Superintendent of the
Freedman's Bureau, in Charlotte, N. C. Capt.
JOHN G. BARNETT. This Circular should be
read by every freedman in the South. We
publish it here for their benefit, as we think
many things it contains, will be found as APP
plicable to those persons in this community as
they are to the freedmen in North Carolina.
1t is about the plainest talk we have yet seen
emanate from any of our military men to the
darkies, and while it tells them of their short
comings plainly and boldly, it also urges them
with friendly voice to adopt wiser and a
better course, if they desire to enjoy that free
dom which circumstances have put them III
possession of. ne
This advice to the freedmen about vo-
ting comes as near a sensible view of the mat
ter as any we have heard. He tells them i
they had the right to vote in their present ig
norant condition, they would be but tools il
the hands of designing men and politicians
The uneducated white man can readily Civ
this as his own experience, NOTWITHSTANDING,
he has had to do with political matters all hi
life; and, surely, Sambo, who has had nothin.
to do with them, would be in raw way il
the hands of professional politicians VIII
would use him just as they desire on all occa
sions. Read the Circular:

From PHILADELPHIA.

Philadelphia, November 17.--Within the
past few days immense frauds against the In
ternal Revenue Department have been dis
covered in petroleum operations. Three of
the largest wells at Pit Hole have been seized
by the Government officials.
The Government claims one hundred and
forty-eight thousand dollars, of which eighty
eight thousand is owned by the United States
Petroleum Company.

The Protestant Episcopal Churches of
the South

The Protestant Eiscopal Churches of the
late Confederate States" assembled in Angus
ia, Ga, on the 9th inst Virginia, Georgia,
Alabama, South Carolina and Mississippi were
represented. The Bishops were all present
except the Bishop of South Carolina, who was
absent from sickness. A Conference Commit
tee composed of Bishop Elliott from the House
of Bishops, and DIR. Andrews from the House
OF Deputies was appointed, the Select Com
mittee made its report, declaring that they
had upon sufficient grounds separated from the
Protestant Episcopal Church of the United
States, but the results of recent events, and
the charity and brothery love-which pre-
vailed in the proceedings of the general con-
vention of the Protestant Episcopal Church of
the United States at its late session in Phila-
delphia led them to resolve:
l. That in the judgement of this council it
is perfectly consistent with the good faith
which she owes to the bishops and dioceses with
which she has been in union since 1862, for
any diocese to decide for herself whether she
shall any longer continue in union with this
council
2 That it be recommended that wherever the
word Confederate occurs in tie Standards of
this church the word United be substituted
therefore.

The Insnrrection in Jamaica.

The instruction In Jamaica has reused the
ire of the London Times, and it declares the
outrages utterly without excuse" We are
averse to occupying SO much space in the dis
cussion of the freedman and his probable fate,
in the future Of this country, but the lessons
taught us by recent events in Jamaica are SO
freighted with warnings to the people of the
South, that we consider 1t our duty to give all
the facts and opinions bearing on the case If
the negro has acted in Jamaica as the London
Times says he has acted, without provocation,
it behooves all in authority in the South to
guard with watchful eye the interests of the
whites of the South But hear what the
Times says:
no grievance whatever, we do not say to JUS
tify, but even to afford colorado pretext for
insurrection. They live, in the first place,
under a government which has conferred upon
the negro race greater practical benefits than
any other In the world-a government which,
at an enormous cost, effected their complete
emancipation, and has given them as absolute
rights of citizenship as are enjoyed in any de-
penney of the Crown. They possets all the
forms of British Governments Governor, a
Privy Council, a septennial Legislative AS
semblyI and all the familiar features Of British
life, even down to rectors, church-wardens and
vestries They enjoy absolute equality, they
are many times more numerous than the
whites, and are quite capable of holding their
own. There is even one of the leading journ-
ais of Kingston which is conducted and owned
by blacks. There is but one inconvenience to
which they are subjected, and which they share
with the Irish and some other equally oppressed
nationalities-they must do more OF less work
and that inconvenience to negro is, no doubt,
that they are able to make almost their own
terms with their masters, and that they obtain
enormous wages. In fact, If they have recoH-
ed, 1t can only be that they are bat too soeu off,
and haze time to indulge in dreams of Repub-
hcan Independence.
But even if the instruction should prove
more troublesome than we can anticipate,
there can be no difficulty in crushing it speedi-
ly by prompt action. 1t is sufficiently la
mentable that we should have to employ our
troops in so unwelcoms task and in SO I'M
wholesome climate but the negroes, after
ALL must be the greatest sufferers. 1t may
very likely prove, indeed, that they have in
ficted an injury upon their race beyond the
boundaries OF their own island. At this mo-
ment, when the negro question is the great
problem of the United States, it will certainly
not dispose the minds of the Americans to-
wards treating the black race more kindly to
know that in one country, at all events, Mey
haze been capable Of a soanton insmrection
against a government from sohich they had re-
ceivsd nothing bit benefits, and ander which
they possessed almost eDery right that eoen the
extreme Abolitioaists sooaAd confer upon them.
