FROM the news from the South there
is reason to fear that the widespread de-
fusion among the negroes, to the effect
that their late masters land was to be
divided among them by the United States
government before the close OF the year,
may result in partial outbreaks a dis
patch says:
"The yicksburg Journal has advices,
which if deems reliable, of an alarming
character from Yazoo The people of the
country are reported to be flying to the
towns for protection, and the negroes
are reported to be arming themselves,
who claim that between now and Christ
mas the land must be given them, or they
will take it by force. The colored troops
stationed in the country are espousing
the cause Of the negroes, and serious
trouble is apprehended.
GEN. HOWARD in bis Annual Report Oh
the condition of the Freedmen's Bureau,
gives the following as to who are res
ponsible for this impression;
The ,rording Of the law establishing this
Ruysau, gQre rise to the idea that the lands
ofdisloyal owa9s woald be digided amongst
the Freedmen Soldiers, col0yTd and arhite,
ard Others, at one time spread. and Doubtless
Deagaifed tie same report ill the belief BE-
came qgite prerQleat, IN the interior Of the
Southern States. that tie 90rerEment intended
at Christmas or Netr Years, to effect t?'s
d,risj9a."
Gen. GRANT, in bis official Report OF
the Condition of the South, uses the fol-
lowing language:
Conversations, however, or the sub
iect with officers connected witt. the
Bureau, led me to think that III some OF
the States its affairs have not been con
Quoted with good judgment or economy
and that the belief leideiy spreading among
the freedmen OF Tie Southern States, that Inc
lands of their former 0Waers ,ViH at least, /"
part, be dirid6d among them, has come from
the agents Of thcir Bureau Fhls bettetts Sc

The Factions Stevens.

Mr.. Thaddeus Stevens-a member OF
the House of Representatives from Penn
sylvania, whom Speaker COlfax strangely
complimented with a conspicuous place
on the Committee on Reconstruction
seems determined to prove his utter I'M
fitness for it before the Committee has
had time to sit The pleasant face of the
Speaker mnst have blushed for shame,
we think, when he was compelled to
listen, for an hour or two, to this painful
evidence of the badness of his selection
Stevens is one of. those Legislators who
thinks that everything can be done by a
law of Congress; that improbable ia
dustry can be made profitable by it; that
gold can be established at a fixed price
BY it; that negroes, of whom he says
that 1.-The Internal laws of slavery have
prevented them from acquiring an edu-
cation, or from understanding the
commonest laws of contract, or for
managing the ordinary business of life, !"
may nevertheless be made most intel
ligent voters by law of Congress that
recreant, rebellious, perverse and igno-
BILE communities can be turned into the
most obedient, loyal and liberal of COM
munities by it; in short, the water can
be made to run up hill, and all the ordi-
nary laws of nature reversed, by the
simple act of declaring it 80 by reselu
ton.
This statesman, who receives certain
respect because Of bis age, not his wis
dom, made speech yesterday on recon-
structioH, in which he urged that the
best way of restoring harmony was to
keep the Southern States in hot water for
an indefinite number of years They
have no attachment to us now, and in
order to produce that attachment We
ought to treat them as we should an
alien enemy. They are wrong in their
political opinions, and to set them right
we should not bring them under the free
discussion and democratic influences of
our system, but leave them to themselves
to tester into greater bitterness and
still greater error Those States
have been devastated by war; their peo-
pie have been most dreadfully punished
and humiliated their industries are de-
stroyed, their governments broken down,
their society completely upturned; and
what they now desire most in the world
is peace, order, friendly relations, and
the protection Of their country. They
acknowledge their error they repent
their follies, they submit to the condi-
tions proposed by the President and by
the Republicans, aud they supplicate to
be received in the former family. No,
says Mr.. Stevens, they have their preju-
dices yet, they have convictions of their
own, they do not see things precisely in
the light that we do in the Allegheny
mountains, and, therefore, they shall re
main where they are. No free industries
for them, no local government of their
own choice, no participation in The Gen
eral Government, until they have purged
themselves of their hereditary opinions,
and accepted the opinions We shall pre-
scribe. 1t is not enough to submit to the
laws, they must also submit to our
whims.

advantages, and in mobile desire to
share together the name and the destinies
of that ancient Commonwealth, whose
founders and traditions are the same
and whose divorce is unnatural -s..---s..-.,-
Any asperities and alterations that had
their existence in the past should he OBJ
liberated by the removal of the only "iuse
to which they are referable-s lay = "
There is no earthly cause for ill-WiIl be-
tween the people of the two States-nor
do we see, leaving out of view the selnsh
objects of place.seekers, any reason for
perpetuating adivision, the most promi-
nent incident OF which is the enthrall-
ment upon the people OF all the burdens
and expenses oftwo State Governments
when one would suffice.
This action ofour Legislature, although
Int ip1tiatory and immature, will goout
TO our brethren of West Virginia as an
imposing peace offering, well calculated
TO re-awaken all the old and afectionate
memories and associations of the past.
Nor should its effect be in the slightest
degree abated; on the contrary it should
be increased-by the inconsiderable and
undecided manifestations OF opposition
encountered by these resolutions in the
House Argument on this subject Will
be more appreciated at future stage OF
the proceedings than at present.
On last Thursday Mr.. HANsBROUGH
introduced the following on the same
subject into the House of Delegates:
Resolred, That the committee on the
union of Eastern and Western Virginia
be requested to examine into the pro-
priety of adopting the following appeal:
ESometimes, in the course of human
events. trivial circumstances separate
good friends, as in the case Of Abraham
and Lot-one goes to the right hand and
one departs to the left But when pas
sion subsidies and reason is enthroned,
the remembrance of ancient friendship
prompt the kindly feelings of our nature
to reconciliation and mutual esteem. 1t
grieves us that there has been separa-
ton between us and our Western breth-
ren Bound together by common blood,
a common language. and the iron ho oks
Of interest, what shall separate rs And
bound together by natural limits. Who
shall separate what God has joined to-
getner Sna!I poverty sbali Ilo"ta-

from our brethren And how shall we
divide the glory Of tie Old Dominion
You are too brave and generous to re-
quirr rs, in houdman's key, to say,
"Prav, master forgive us" And We ask
no submission, no humiliation from you;
but with outotretched arms we invite
Won to orr aftectionate and tender en-
brace. And behold how good and pleas
ant it is for bretherh to dwell together
