General Sherman Ieft here this morning
The En4xirv says the late heavy rains had
a disastrous effect on the oat crop. Another
heavy. rain commenced falling here at ter
o clock last night, and continued till m early
hour this morning.
The Gasette's Chicago dispatch Of the 18th
says after suspension Of "a hours, rain re
commenced falling this morning and has con
timed with no prospect Of cessation. Ad
vices from all parts Of the Northwest, how
ever, agree no serious damage is done to the
crops.
The Gdzettes Cairo dispatch of the 26th
says the Galveston corespe.dent OF the
Houston Nescs writes under date of July la,
that orders had been issued to the officials ai
Matamoras to prepare aecoutremenfs for thir-
ty-five thousand troops of the Empire, the
troops TO consist of French, Anstrians and
hgerines. The reason given for this coIlec-
ton OF troops Is because we hare . similar
number q Brownsville and adjacens peints.
French officers assert there Is no reason why
the United States should send An army ol
eighty or hundred thousand men to Texas,
unless she designs aggressive movements on
Mexico. The spirit Of the two armies il de-
ssEibed 9 heing hostile, and there is no alkha-
ton bGtwoen bar oe6cms and those of The
Empire.

New York corrcsponaence Gin. Gazettel
For wonder, the New York press j. more
nearly united on this NEGRO suffrage than
they often found on any subject Of the
Ave great morning papers, three, the Tribane.
Heruld and Nesrs, are fairly committed for
negro suffrage; the Times is not committed
against ii and only one, the World, actually
opposes IT, The E1esing Post, of course,
agrees with the other Administration Jour
nals and among the weekly papers, even 30
studiously anpohtical . journal as Harper's
Weekly, zealonsly supports the same view.
The leading newspapers are also buslly en-
deavoring to influence the country press, by
correspondence and by private circulars, to
an equally open stand and the responses
they receive correspond mainly with their own
views.

They Do AND THEY Dos' TIT is nothing
uncommon in the series Of trades of abuse Of
the colored people constantly gushing forth
from the Copperhead press, charges that they
are all too lazy to work, and don't work, and
won't work, except as slaves under the lash,
followed in the same article BY charges that
they are coming North and getting all the
situations and depriving the lalooring white
men OF employment
1t is only mean men that abuse oppressed
and helpless men by wholesale, but even
mean men ought to stick to some show OF
consistency in their abuse
The colored men either work or don'twork,
either they will work or they won't work
