Richmond Sentinel.

The publication of the Sentinel newspaper,
which was suspended by the fall of Richmond,
has been renewed under the editorial control of
Richard NJ. Smith, Esq, a gentleman well
known in this section of Virginia as the former
able editor of the Alexandria Sentinel
The Sentinel is large and handsome paper,
printed on new type. 1t gives the latest and
most reliable news, full and accurate report
of the stock, money and produce markcts-and
is a strenuous advocate of the annexation of
Jefferson to Virginia proper, and allother coun-
ties desiring such a destination.
The Editor says:-''The Sentinelwill, in good
faith abide by the late pacifcation Of the
country; but it is Southern newspaper, owned
and conducted by Southern men, whose pecu-
liar sympathies and interests are all identified
with Virginia and the South"
Mr.. j. J. Palmer, formerly of the Winches-
ter Yirginian, is now travelling agent of the
Sentinel, and is now amongst his old friends Of
Jefferson for the purpose Of bringing to their
notice the paper to which he is an attache. The
Legislature win meet at Richmond on the 4tb
December The proceedings viii be ofno lit
tie interest to our people-and this is therefore
IAN appropriate time to subscribe for the Senti-
mel.
Persons desiring the paper will have their
wishes attended to by leaving theirnames with
Mr. ANRRoSr w Tn AMER CharlesthO-,, who
is authorized to act as Agent for the Sentinel

Gen. Grant and mexico.

Gen. Grantrcccntly attendeda Union League

speech by Vice President Beekman, who, after
alluding to his victories in the late war; referred
to the foul wrong of the French occupation Of
Mexico advantage being taken Of our domes-
tic troubles to invade and subvert neighbor-
ing Republic. s. 9wi e I ~
Gen. Grant replied briefly, but significantly,
saying there is onesentiment in your address in
which heartily concur as to the futureofM exi-
co. v5xQ
We have no doubt Gen. Grant could, in one
month, if he would say the word, have 1907 900
men across the Rio Grande. The spirit of the
American people is rife for the enterprise of up
setting the French-Austrian Empire in Mexico

The Constitutional Amendment.

The amendment proposed by Congress, for
ever prohibiting slavery throughout the United
States, has been adopted by the Legislatures of
twenty-four States. Delaware, Kentucky, and
New Jersey have rejected it, but the latter will
doubtless adopt it at the next session. Twen-
ty-seyen are necessary.
1t is this amendment which President john
son requires the Southern States to adopt be-
fore there can be full recognition of their re-
storation to the Union; and on this subject we
find the following article, half sarcastic and
half serious We clip it from the Washington
Chronicle:
The Charlottesville Chronicle, in its remarks
on repudiating the rebel State debt and adopt
ing the Constitutional Amendment abolishing
slavery, says:
"The President has made these points sine
QuQ non to the admission OF States TO their full
rights, and what power have we 10 resist him?
Whom shall We appeal to? We think there
is something much more important and much
more practical for the South 20 be doing than
crying over spit milk, OF attempting to recOV-
CT what has been split. The discussion on the
subject Of the reputation Of the debt III the
Georgia State Convention was perfectly tragic,
and OF course perfectly ludlcrous. Members
talked about '.nghts the 'honOr Of Georgia
and SO on. What stuff Who's got any
~rights?7 What has the ''hOnor of Geurgia
to do with paying or not paying the State or
,.,,nntNr d46tS contracted Tor the war when
Georgia is whipped out Of her boots, and not
allowed 70 pav. If she wants TOT We hoped
the Era OF Gas was over, and that the people
were entering on a morning OF Common Sense.
! Bur notwithstanding the vapWIng and silly
speeches aud strenuous resistance that was
made in the Georgia Convention, We see that
the ordinance repudiating the debt has passed
BY a very large vote-quekened, no doubt, by
the Presidential spur We just say tins: scc
are for sustaining the President; and tSalilg
and excepting negro sufirasel we will 90 any
pNgrame lie lays down.
