we find many sensible and "plain peo-
pie, " who greatly relieve the tediousness
of this vanity fair. We have made some
most agreeable acquaintaRces among
them, and hope in the hereafter to see
them again in our journeyings near
their homes in the East Many south
srnsrs are here, now and then one hav-
ing q "niggef along, to remind the north
srners, perhaps, Of their chivalrio origin
and claims to superior consideration and
attention. E-a.
Among other gentlemen of note now
here 10 General Thomas Francis Mea-
CHER. He is going to Montana Terrific
ry, Of which he has been appointed Sec
retaFy. We heard him lecture, q few
evenings ago, on the duties of Irish citi-
zsns TO the Government. His address
or lecture was polished and eloquent
The atssndspce Of Irish was not particu;
Iarly large, owing doubtless to the fact

perry General H. announced himself
distinctly in favor of admitting the ex-
slaves to the rights Of citizsnship--a
position, In regard to which much may
land will be said pro and con The gem
eral hatred oof the Irish to the negro is
proxsrbisIS hence General N. could not
expect mseh sympathy on this point
from his countrymsn here The reason
of this intense hatred has never cen
clearly explsined--at least not iE> ..rint.
In commenting on the small attendance
referred to, an acquaintance said that
he accounted for this Irish hate on the
| principle that likes diskked each Other
and that whenever you found an Irish
man dsuouncipg the negro, yon might
set him down as not being much above
or unlike the object Of Bis abuse. With
out endorsing this view, I give il as mJ
opinion that no man who fesls himself
the superior Of the negro has any excuse
for feaFipg his competition. Neverthe,
