= SUFFERING. sGosfEDERATE TRooPs;
There are still lrseveraf thousand Confederate
soldiers sick, wounded and dying, scattered
along in the hospitals, ,sout buildings, sheds,
ETC., throughout Virginia, Carolina, and
other portions of the Atlantic States, who
are utterly destitute Of means, and unable
to reach their homes. The government has
been very kind to- them in furnishing trans
pcrtation as far as the ,;lines.of railway we're
, in order; but once landed at the ternai'ss,
these poor fellows were compelled to accept
such accommodations as they could; aud In
country such as the South now is, We
need not tell our.readers that their care was
anything but what It should be. Not that
the people among whom they were thrown
were not willing to aid and nurse them, but
they lacked the means to do so, and thous-
ands of these sufferers are at this very hour
languishing and dying for want of mere
trife of that assistance which our city has
extended to 30 many in like condition and
distress. Who will aid them They were
once our foes, to- be sure, but they we're
brave men, and they are now our brethren.
Rev. G. K. Marshall, of Mississippi, whose
name is household world in the South,
and one Of the true apostles of peace, has
called upon US to say that he will receive
donations of money, blankets, or clothing,
in aid of these gallant fellows; and any.
thing forwarded to'him, in care of the pro-
.prietor of the ST. Nicholas Hotel, will re-.
ceive his personal attention and disburse.
ment ~ A'.
/, We commend him to.the confidence, and
his good work to the benevolence Of our
readers. s.--M X. Wor1d.a=

Ex.GENERAL MANSFIELD LovELL.-
We have been amused by q report, which
seems to be pertipaeiously insisted upon BY
the Northern papers that Gen. Lowell has
become an associated editor Of the New

engaged dipping extracts with editorial
scissors, preparing monstrous narratives Of
horrid murders, beautiful bnrglaries, i9ge.
nious forgeries and sublime swindlinga.A :
We are somewhat reluctant TO spoil q good
story, but as we are in the habit Of shaking
hands with General Lowell every third day
in the week, and had che pleasure, yester-
day, Of crushing q cup Of Madeira with
him, we must insist that he is not, and
never has been, scissors .clipper or sensation
editor in any of the news Offices Of the
great Gothamite city. SO farefrom it, the
General is now absolutely playing Cinoinna-
tus in his retirement. He farmsit within

Feeling in the South.

Capt. MooRE, an Assistant Quartesrmrlaiss'teelr ~
who was sent to Andersonyille, Georgia, Tor the
purpose of marking the graves sof Union soldiers
for future Identification, and enclosing the
cemetery. has made an interesting report, IN
which he says: q
"While encamped at Andersonyille, l was
daily visited by men from the surrounding
country, and had an opportunity of cleaning
their feelings towards the government, and
with hardly an exception, found those who had
been in the rebel army penitent, and more kind
" disposed than those who had never taken a
part and anxious to again become citizens OF
the government that they fought 50 hard to de-
stroy." @ ust
Just so every where We have at home
many examples. Men who have tested steel
with steel are courteous, tolerant and kind to
each other. It is only the skulkers who are IL
liberal-one set superlatiyely loyal, others ram

Conflict of Jurisdiction.

We have always regarded the division of
Virginia as the prime misfortune of the war
We have even dared to regard the act by which
a scparate State was created within the limits
of another State as contrary to the letter and
snirit Of the Federal Constitution. This opin-
ion would be of course strengthened by the
doctrine that the Southern States have never
lost their individuality, or lapsed into the con-
dition of Provinces, by their war against the
Government Of the United States. all this is,
perhaps, now immaterial We have still to
regret a separation which viii, we think, i'm
lure both States. 1t shuts off the Western ter
ritory from its rightful outlets to market, and
condemns it to trade forever over lines which
may be held by selfish or inimical hands. 1t
shuts out Virginia from that access to the pro-
ductive interior essential to the development of
her commerce, and it destroys the territorial
integrity of a Commonwealth which herself
conquered from the Indians, planted and pre-
sented to the Union five of the most prosperous
States of the Union. That the impolicy of our
own councils has prepared for this separation,
the writer does not doubt, but still this error
might and would have been prevented by a
more Just and liberal policy. We might even
hope that demonstrated unity of interest and
return of fraternal feeling may even yet render
such reunion not impossible.
We observe that Governor Boreman has gone
so far as to forbid by proclamation an election
of representatives to the Virginia Legislature,
to be held in jefferson county. Wecannot see
on what ground this is done. Whilst Virginia
lay bound and helpless, much of her best ter
ritory, as of Greenbrier and Monroe, and along
the line of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad,
has been seized, and the only limit of the Sc
cessionists seems to have been the value OF the
annexation. We are fortunate in having
Governor who has shown determination, as
at Norfolk and Alexandria, to resist all en-
croachments upon the rights or domain Of the
quod restQt of the Old Dominion. We shall
confde that in the conflict of jurisdiction which
has arisen over Jefferson county, he will con-
tinue to show himself the friend and champion
of this dismembered and forlorn old Common.

Negro Suffrage.

Senator DooLIrTLE, of Wisconsin, one OF the
ablcst Of the Republican Senators, takes decided
ground against theattempt to impose negro sui
race on the South. He calls it an insane project,
that of insisting that the government of the U.
States. while endcayoring to establish peace in
those States, should adopt policy leading to
a bloody war of the races, by forcing negro
suffrage upon the people of the South at this
time, against the unanimous opinion OF the
white race-what most of the free States will
not do, though the numbers are so small that
they could have but very little weight. de
quoted the opinion of both Gems. Grant and
Sherman, against the project.
