WHAT THE SOUTH MUST DO.
Eetter from Judge w. NJ. Byrd of Selma

We take thefollowing letter from the Times
of the 18th ult., written by prominent citi-
zen of that place. The. Times informed the
Judge on his return from Washington, that its
columns were at his disposal, and in accepting
the offer he. states that the President exhibited
kind and generous spirit towards the South,
and that the best and surest way of saving
what we have left of the institutions and lib
critics Of our, country is to yield to the Presi-
dent S administration a cordial and decided
support. The Judge then goes on to say:
From what | heard, at Washington, and
from all sources, | Wilt state, that it is expec-
ted of the South that she will:
1st Declare the African race free by the
organic law Of each State.
I'd. That each State will secure and guaran-
tee by her constitution. cirH rights to the
Freedmen; political rights such as suffrage.
sitting on juries, &C., are not expected to be
conferred on them at this time; these are mat
ters to be left to the discretion of the several
States.
But the freedom of the African race and the
guaranty Of their civil rights are prerequisites
to the reconstruction of State Governments and
their re-admission to the Union.
The question then is narrowed down to this:
Will we make a constitutional declaration of
the freedom of the African race and guaranty
of their rights or remain indefinitely under a
military government?
This question our Convention must decide
for us. Very truly,

THE EIGHT sEOUR' DEMONSTRATION
LAST NIGHT

The eight hour demonstration last night was
one of the handsomest and most formidable
in point of numbers that has been seen in
Baltimore for long time. No one one could
look upon the seemingly almost interminable
line and not exult at the reflection that here
was an clement Of substantial advancement
worthy of the highest regard that which must
at last be relied upon above all others to keep
all interests in motion. Remembering how
mnch the world is indebted to a class of men
who of all others make the world of matter
subordinate to intellect; that these are the men
who build cities, and ships, whose inventive
genius in the construction Of the myriad ma
chimes which minister to human comfort, Is the
marvel of the age, what consideration Is
their due as against the mouthing dema-
gogues, who with the mere gift of the
CAB" attempt to control society? Rapidly
assuming that position of importance
which should have been freely conceded to
them long ago, more and more will their in
fuence be felt, and heavily responsible will
they be for the use of an influence so potent.
We trust that this will be appreciated by all
concerned; and that in the purpose to gain
what they SEEK that nothing will occur to
make any regret the movements in which they
are now engaged.

The people had spontaneously expressed their
adherence to the Cabral administration. in
cluding Pimentel himself, who readily sub
mtted to their sovereign decision. The latter
had gone to St. Domingo city, where he WAS

are highly esteemed for their services to the
republic during the late war.
On the lst September the popular elections

A Strange Statement---1IOw William L.
Yancey Met His Death

From the Nashville Republican Banner Sept Is.
As you enter the cemetery at Montgomery,
and turn to the right, you will perceive a col
onade of maple trees leading off to quiet
glen. Beyond is a grassy knoll, and leaving
this to the left, you will approach a pleasant
level green sward. Here you will be tempted
to pause before plain slab of white marble,
of the most humble description. 1t bears a
singl inscription: "William l.. Yancey." His
last words were: ''Put me out of sight" and
1t is SAID that he was constantly muttenng,
toward his latter end, those lines of Pope:
Let me live unseen, unknown
And unlamented les me die
Nor mound, nor monument, nor stone.
Tell where lie'
His death was quiet and painless, after year
of acute physical and mental suffering. He
was strict churchman; man OF quiet man.
ners. a handsome declaimer. and a fair scholar.
He was never wealthy, and it is understood that
he left his family without an independence.
The time has come when the circumstances
of his last illness and death, with the occasion
which suddenly convulsed frame from per
feet health into a wreck and mere shadow.
may be mentioned as historical fact. Vii.
liam l.. lancey came to his end by violence.
1t was towards the close Of the second session
of the first Confederate Congress, that he broke
from the counses and influence of Mr. Davis.
and became, with Mr.. Henry S. Foote, lead
er of the opposition. Mr.. Ben. Hill, a Senator
from Georgia, had likewise changed his front.
and was remarkable for the earnestness, per-
sonal interest and persistency with which he
sustained the measures of an administration to
which his allegiance had been given but late
in the day. Mr.. 1ancey, it will be remember
ed, had returned from an unsuccessful mission
to Europe and was representing Alabama in
the Confederate Senate
The question of a navy was under discus
sion in secret session. The debate ranged be-
yond the parliamentary limits, and Messrs
1ancey and Hill became animated over the abb
stract doctrines of State rights and the divin-
ity of slavery. High words passed, and finally
the lie was given by Mr. Hill. Mr.. Yancey
leaped forward and, as he aimed blow at his
adversary, was caught in the arms of the lat
ter and violently thrown back over desk-
Mr.. Hill Is man of wonderful muscular de-
velopment. Mr.. Yancey was never very
heavy, though 1.-the and active. In the fall
his spine was seriously injured, and when the
by-standers rushed upon the two and dragged
the one from the other, the great fire eater lay
unconscious upon the floor, with little trckle
of blood oozing from his lips. He was carried
to his hotel, a vote of secrecy was passed, and
the encounter hushed up. No one in Rich
mond, except that body of men, knew of the
circumstance for six months after Mean
while the victim did not recover He drooped
from day to day. He became lstless. hope
less, and vacant. He was transferred to his
own home, where his commissions ceased few
weeks before his death, which was tranquil
and calm.

EEaiIs Arctic NJediaiOn.
ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS.


The Journal Of Commerce has received from
Captain Chapel, of the whaleship Monticello,
some additional news of Captain Halls Arctic
expedition. Captain Chapel brings advices
from Captain Hall, to the 5th of August. and
states that the first letter received from Mr..
Hall was written some time in March. Capt
Hall was still at Repulse Bay in August, but
was expecting to leave Immediately after the
first great snow storm, occurring probably
about the middle of the present month. for
Boothia Felix Peninsula and King William S
Land.
1t has been matter of wonder why Capt.
Hall did not avail himself of the summer
season to make his journeys, but Captain
Chapel states that travel can only be success
fully accomplished during the winter months,
when everything is thoroughly frozen up. In
the summer the lakes and streams are open,
thus preventing the sledges from crossing
These months are taken advantage of, how
ever, In forwarding supplies of provisions.
&c., say for ten, twenty or even fifty miles.
When Captain Chapel left there was a con.
siderable fleet of whalerS still at Repulse Bay.
Captain Hall had evidently retained his jour
nal until the last ship was about to return
home, so as to give the latest possible infor
nation. The document is expected by the
whaler Black Eagle, due about the middle of
valuable information. A cousin of Alberta
native companion Of Captain Hall-was one of
a party who discovered the body of one of the
crew of Sir John Franklin imbedded in the
ice, from which it was with difficulty dis
lodged The date of this discovery is at
present unknown, but the Journal may throw
light upon it. When last heard from Captain
Hall and party were well and in the best of
spirits. They believed that their journey to
Boothia Felix and King Williams Land would
be made successfully.
Captain Chapel passed the winter at Repulse
Bay very pleasantly on board the Monticello.
