however, which they regarded with something Ike SUI
p%erstition. We refer to the singular habit he had
of raising his hand aloft, and then suddenly letting
the arm fall at his side. On many occasions ne made
this strange gesture as his veterans moved slowly be-
fore him, advancing to the charge. At such moments
his face would be raised to heaven, his eyes closed,
and his lips would move evidently in PRAYER. The
same gesture was observed in hin at Charlottesville
while gazing ut the body of one Of his old command.
lie was plainly praying, with his hand uplifted, for the
welfare of the dead mans soul.

SOUTHERN NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. ExTRAoRDI-
HARY.-According to the Mobile Advertiser, niue hun
dred negroes held a meeting last Sunday evening in
the direction of Dog River. After long talk and care
full deliberation, this meeting resolved, by a vote of
seven hundred voices 10 two hundred, that thew had
made a practical trial for three months OF tie freedom
which the war had bequesthed 0 em-tha It's real
tiles We're far from being 50 tattering as their imag-
nation had painted it-ttIat they had discovered that
the p~rejudiceS of color were by 10 means confined to
the people Of the south; but on the contrary, that il
was stronger and more marked against them ia the
strangers from the north than in tile home people Of
the south, among whom they had been reared; that
negroes, no more than white men, could live without
work, or be comfortable without homes; that their
northern delivcrers from bondage had not, as they had
expected and been taught TO expect, undertaken to pro-
vide for their happy existence in their new state of
freedom; and that their old masters had ceased to t Ike
any interest in them or have a care for them; aud fin
ally, that their ''laSt state WAC worse than their first, .
and ii was their deliberate conclusion that their true
happiness and w]ellbeing required them to return to
the homes which they had abandonel in a moment of
excitement, and 60 to work again under their old mas
tiers. And 50 the resolutions we're passed, and at last
accounts the wanderers were packing up their little
sock Of movable goods, preparatory TO the execution
ot their sensible purposes.

The PERSONNEL OF THE MISSISSIPPI CONVENTION
We looked in upon this body, YESTERDAY, while in Ges-
sion, and are sati~f d that the people have acted
wisely and well in the selection Of delegates, A more
spber, grave and dignifed body we have never seen
under the roof of the capitol. Brilliant intellect and
sound, practical sense, are combined together i'll the
body. In election OF president, the convention gave
earnest of its intention TO put none but the best men
on guard during lis deliberations. Shall Yerger was
"chain lightning as judge of the circuit court, aud he
will make an able, dignifed presiding officer Of thi>,
the most important body that has ever assembled in
this State.
There is no mediocrity in this body-the lions of
t e State are here, and if wise and pudent counsel
can accomplish anything for this peopIr they will do
it. Their duties are OF tremendous responsibility, and
they are going to work at it like men who knew what
was expected Of them, and we're determined to do it.
We were impressed with more than ordinary solem-
nifty as we ga2ed upon those grave and reverend gem
tlemen, selected for so onerouS a duty, but we were
impressed also with the conviction that the people have
confded their destinies into the custody of men who
were equal for the emergency, and will meet calmly
the tremendous responsibility devolviug upon them
From the bottom Of our heart, we thank God that
Mississippi has sent out her best men to NEE: this
most perplexing and difficult phase Of history.

GEg. Dick TAYLOR AND THE PREsIDENT-Washing-
ing Oh, Aug. IL desire 70 correct the lying reports
Of the press about Gen. Dick Taylor's interview with
president johnson. lie was received most cordially.
He told the president he had two favors to ask: ITO
go to Liverpool, and to sc my brother-iu-law, Jeffer-
son Davis The president said You shall have
permission to go if YOU wish, but | do not want men
like you to leave the country" The president said he
would consider the request for an interview with Mr..
Davis. He at once granted a pardon to Gen Taylor,
and next day brought up before the cabinet the prop
osition to see Mr.. Davis.
No decision was arrived at, secretary Stanton getting
into a violent passion aud denouncing it. He went
back to his Office and instructed Gen. Hancock to issue
an order to prevent paroled Confederate officers com
ing to Washington without his sanction. This was
specially intended to keep Gen. Taylor away, but the
president wrote TO him that he was at liberty to 20
wherever be pleased. He is expected in Washington
to-day. VfRIrAs.

THE LABOR ACKNOWLEDGMENT BETWEEN
THE PLANTERS AND FREEDMEN.-Ensign G. c.
Neil, who left here on tue army transport, w.
w. Frazier last week, for the purpose Of visiting
the planters on the Cooper river, and enhghten-
ing them as to the orders of Gen. Hatch con-
corning the making Of contracts with the freed
men, returned to this city last evening. He called
upon the various planters in st. Thomas and st.
Dennis parishes and found them cheerful and
willing to do all in their power to promote the
interests of the common country. Their great
annoyanees are the depredations committed by
rowing bands of idle and dissolute people, the
majority of whom are colored. They are eager
to obtain a supply of field and farming imple
ments, and are also in want of horses mules and
wagons. Large crops are not looked for this
season. The planters received him ana his asso-
ciates with the utmost civility, and spread before
them the best that their houses contained. In
their conversation they admitted the total failure
of the rebel cause, and expressed themselves
solicitous to see harmony and reunion again pre-
vail. During this trip he had the pleasure Of
witnessing the signing of contracts OF labor be-
tween fifteen planters and men who were formerly
slaves. The contracts were made in accordance
with an order issued by Gen. John p Hatch In
the course of his travels ensign Neil discovered
fifteen pounds of powder in the possession of
negro, and while in the act of destroying the
mass he unfortunately remained too near and
received an ugly burn on one side of his face.
His injuries are not serious.

Why Gen, Butler, who has never achieved any
