Fr ON tie n. Y Times, May 81.
Observant gentlemen who have recent
ly travelled extensively through the states
OF the late southern confederacy, say that
men are much more abundant there than
they had anticipated. The able-bodied
male population are by no means killed off
by the war High officers Of the confed-
crate army say that jeff. Davis told the
truth literally last winter when he pre-
claimed in a public speech in Georgia
that tro thirds Of the southern conscripts
had deserted from his army. The rebel
chief declared that this immense proper
ton Of his troops were absent from the
ranks without leave; in other words, they
bad escaped to their homes, and were de-
termined to stay at home. The confeder-
ate military authorities could not spare
from active duty the heavy details of men
and officers that would have been requir-
ed to traverse the vast and thinly settled
regions of the south for the purpose of
hunting down these fugitives. And, cons
tens of thousands and hundreds
of thousands of men were enabled to es-
cape hated service, though many of
them had from time to time to conceal
themselves, or resort to evasion or flight.
The southern confedcracy, at the be-
gining of this year, had about two hun
dred thousand troops actually in its SER
vice. These were drawn from popula-
ton of about six millions, including to
some extent the border states, as we'll as
the trans Mississippi states. Now, allow
ing one tenth of the population as capable
of bearing arms Ga large proportion for
the south), we would have six hundred
thousand men, in all, fit for military duty
Two-thirds of these, or four hundred
thousand men, according to the estimate
of jeff Davis, were at their homes in their
respective states, evading or refusing mil
tary service; and by the recent disband-
wont Of the armies of Lee, Johnston and
Toylor, one hundred thousand more able
bodied men have been sent home, making
quite half a million now in the states Of
the south. There are Of coures, modifying
elements upon these statements; but they
are not such as to materially alter the
facts.

Death of Hannibal, the Zig EIe
phaFlf.
From the Bedford fP, Ino,;ror Nov

From the Bedf ord Pa Inquirer, May IL.
The world-renowned performing animal,
"Oid Hannibal" who for almost half
century has been the greatest wonder of
the animal kingdom, died in Ceuteryille,
IN this county, on last Sunday morning,
che tn instant, at 7:31 O'Clock y. NJ
Hannibal was attached to the combined
menagerie and circus which exhibited
here ON last Friday. He displayed evil
dences of indisposition and fcebleness sew
eral days previously at McConollsburg,
and 1t required great labor and persever>
ance to get him across the mountains to
Bloody Run. On Friday he was very i'll,
having steadily refused food for several
days. lie left here on Saturday morning,
with very unsteady step, Tor Centerville,
where he died on Sabbath morning.
Hannibal was the largest animal ever
exhibited on this continent. His hight
was eleven feet and eight inches. and his
weight was ascertained to be ID, 600 pounds
or y tons. He consumed three hundred
pounds of hay, three bushels of oats. and
forty-six gallons of water per day. He
was supposed to be in his Sixty sixth year
at the time of his death. For thi.tysix
years he traversed this continent at an ay-
erage of three thousand miles per year,
the greatest curiosity ever exhibited to the
wondering millions
The watchman who spent the last night
with the living Hannibal, reports him as
having been very restless during the
night, frequently shifting his position,
lying down and getting up. At one time
he endeavored to break loose from the
stump to which he was tied Some time
before his death he got on his knees on
ali fours, and remained in that position
half an hour. When it became apparent
that his end was approaching, a crowd of
persons assembled to see this ponderous
and tremendously vigorous animal expire.
Fears were entertained lest in his diving
agonles some one might be hurt, but all
precautIon was unnecessary. Hannibal
at the time above stated stretched himself
at full length and died without struggle,
without qulyer, as if family sleeping
His proprietors were telegraphed from
Cumberland, who gave orders that he
should be inferred without robbing him
Of any of Eis natural ornaments.

LIBERTY. "A Mrs. Josephine Grif-
fing, who for Is months has been super
vising freedmen" in the capital of the
United States, Washington thus writes
to the editor of the Providence (R. ID
Journal: "The shanties Occupied by the
negroes in Washington, are twelve by
fourteen feet on the ground, generally
made of rough boards not battened, the
garrets, cellars, and, as a last and not un-
frequent resort, the stables, are full to
overflowing. In some cases three families
composed Of twelve or fourteen persons,
live in one Of these rooms, most of them
sleeping on the floor with little that indi-
Gates civilization or humanity-with old
rags for their beds, and the yermin
brought fropl the army and propagated iu
the unavoidable filth of their condition,
aggravating and almost devouring them
alive. Ten thousand Of these women and
children have no change of undcrgar-
ments-no bonnets, no sheets, and no
means of bettering their condition" Mrs.

ing and shelter.

fluid lamp (two burncrs) with oil, leaving
one wick burning, when the oil caught
fire, exploded in the can and set fire to
their clothes. The man ran to pond
near by aid plunged in, but before the
woman could reach the water every parti-
Gle of her clothing was burnt off She
died in short time afterwards. while Mr..
f. was so badly burnt that he was not ex-
pected to survive his injuries. A sad
warning to all who carclessly use coal oil.

Since the days of Titus Oates, in Eng
land, the world was never before SO pro-
hic in plots. We have the plot to assas-
sinate the President, the plot to introduce
yellow fever into the country; the plot to
burn down the Eastern cities; the plot to
destroy the Croton Water works in New
York; the plots to set free the Confeder-
ate prisoners in the North. In short, un.
der the protecting care of secret Govern
ment detectives, whose vocation would
otherwise be gone, we have them of every

THE LoYALIsTs OF SAN Francisco
There must be precious set OF abolition
"patriots,' says the New York Day Book
in the city of San Francisco. No sooner
was the lawless act of Booth reported in
that loyal city than the men who pre-
fcssed most loudly to condemn it, fell to
work immitating him, ana proceeded to
mob every democratic paper in the city.
They destroyed the Offices of the Demos
cratic Press, Occidental, Monitor. News
Letter, Echo du Pacifquc and Yoz de
Mejico. Was there ever such a shameful
outrage perpetrated under such circum-
stances q? 1t is not pretended that these
journ; ID had said or done anything to
render them particularly obnoxious, but
the abolitionists thought the occasion one
in which they could act out the real devil
try of their natures with safety. And it
turns out that so far they have not been
molested for their crimes. We trust,
however, the time is coming when they
will be made to feel the heavy hand of Vi
olated law. Such wretches are not fit to
live among white men. They ought to
be banished to Timbuctoo,

The Albany Evening Journal, the New
ork Tribune, and the New York Inde-
pendent having discussed the "colored
suffrage question very much in the same
temper as Phillips, Sumner, Boutwell,, etc.
the Wisconsin, prominent republican
newspaper in Milwaukee, makes copious
extracts from them, and thus comments
thereon:
"The government has taken its position
against negro suffrage distinctly and une-
quivocally, just as President Lincoln did,
at first, against emancipation. But he had
to back down from it just as President
johnson will be obliged to in this CASE
From his course is now disapproved by the
leading presses and members Of the union
party, and is approved by the entire cop
perhead party. People may turn mp their
noses at the opposition of Wendell Phil
lips and men of his type But when such
men as Prof. Amasa Walker, of Boston,
take public issues with the president, and
the consciences and hearts, not only of the
religious bodies, but also Of the loyal press
and the loyal masses are opposed to the
president on this question, he must change
or be without party to support him, or
throw himself into the arms of the cop
perheads."
This agitation is commenced thus early
with a view Of controlling congress. 1t is
hoped that the president will call it to-
gether before the regular time of meeting,
and that it will attempt something decisive
against his plan Of reorganization. The
present congress is generally supposed to
be quite as radical as the last one, but We
appfehend it will shrink from contest
with P,esidcnt johnson He is not in the
habit OF backing bown, and those who
hope for an acceptance of Wht'ngism by
him will be sadly disappointed We shall
see if the conservative element in the re-
publican party will be bulhed into submis-
sion by the radicals. If it had sustained
President Lincoln against their assaults,
instead of cowardly joining with them,
there would not now be such boast of
triumph obtained over him from those
whose pressure was his grertest afflic>
ton during his administration, and that
which caused him the most serious en-
barassment.-C Chicago Times

y meeting of farmers representing
Goochchiand, Louisa, Albermarle, Caro-

on Tuesday last, for the purpose of con-
sidering the question of the remuneration
to be made for negro labor hereafter
After deliberation, it Was determined to
fix the hire Of field hands at FIVE dollars
per nonth-the negro to furnish his cloth
ing and pay his doctors bills. The sum
Of one dollar Per day for hands during
harvest was fixed upon This is an i'm
portant movement, being the first fixing
the pay for the negroes in Virginia :
These prices will rule throughout the
State, and very likely throughout the

paid for agricultural labor in Europe, and
should be satisfactory to all parties. We

been determined On, the negroes will 90
