The San Antonio Ledger says: "Many Of
our freedmen and women are being turned
out Of their homes in our city in default Of
paying rent, and are camping about the city
The freedmen who went into the country to
work last spring, are receiving food for them
selves and children, and men and women re-
ceve fifteen and twenty dollars month be-
sides. So that man and his wife will have
at the close Of the year about three hundred
dollars in their pockets-while those that
lived in town and rented houses will, at the
close Of the year, have empty pockets, and
find themselves next winter in the mud on
the prairie in the suburbs Of the city and
many of them will be in the penitentiary,
and their children in their graves. This is
the result of refusing to work in the country
for love or money.
1--WE saw yesterday negro man who went
into the country last spring, and he will raise
this year over two hundred bales Of cotton.
He has under his employ near thirty darkies,
but he says some Of them are of but little
account. He will make several thousand
dollars this year. This shows what freed
man may do.

The September gathering at Philadelphia
was intended as an offset to the Restoration
Convention of August.
1t is well known that these delegates, who
are heralded Us Of the South, and who have
thus arrayed their hands against her people
and their interests, were, with but few ex-
ceptiOns, without any warrant of election,
either by popular assembly or convention;
without any authority to speak Of, for, or
concerning the Southern people; without
any constituency, seldom to the manor born,
and either political renegades or adventures
And yet it is by the representations ofthese
that the South is to be judged. 1t is by
them that she is declared traitorous and dis
loyal. II is by them that her citizens arc
denounced, their property demanded to be
confscated, and their rights of suffrage, Of.
flee, and representation to be forfeited.
The Conservative Convention ignored
party for the sake Of the Union. The other
body ignored the Union for the sake of party.
The establishment is that the masses at
the North should be so easily deceived, and
that they should place any reliance upon the
statements or base any action upon the rep
reservations of body which was IN impos-
ture in its organization, and without any title
to credcnce or patriotism.
How long will the tide Of passion, msrep-
rcsentation, and prejudice continue to over
whem the country When will common
sense and reason again resume their sway

A New National Song.

AT the immense mass meeting Of Union
Conservatives in Union Square, few nights
ago, was sung for the first time in public the
grand national song of "God Bless our
President The words, forcible, eloquent
and poetical, were composed by L. n. La
MONT, late adjutant of the lOlst New York
infantry, and the music was arranged by
CHARLES +. WHITE, late lieutenant 18th
Pennsylvania cavalry. 1t is capital song,
both in words and music. 1t has the true
ring and we are not surprised to hear that
orders for copies are "piling in upon the
publishers.

THE Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle has informa-
ton that Governor JENKINS borrowed only
enough by the sale Of Georgia bonds in New
York to meet the pressing engagements Of
the State. He could have sold more bonds
at 80 cents on the dollar, but refused to do
so, believing that they ought to command
more. The bonds were secured by mort
gage Of the Western and Atlantic railroad,
in accordance with IN act Of the Legislature,
approved March IL, 1866. 1t is said that the
Governor has, since his return home, sold q
small amount Of the bonds at 81 l-2 on the
dollar. They ought to bring dollar for dol
lar. Ninety-fve cents is the price now offered
in New York. r.

In the rebel History of the War" issued
by Pollard, Of Richmond, q statement is
made in relation to Gen. Pemberton, which
the editor of the jackson (Miss.) Clarion
fatty contradicts. Pollard wrote:
las last resort he retired behind his
works with weakened and somewhat dis
pirited, but still glorious little. army The
unfortunate commander appeased the clamor
against him by an apparently noble candor
and memorable words of heroism. He said
that it had been declared that he would sell
Vicksburg, and exhorted his soldiers to fol-
low him to see the price at which he would
sell it--for it would not be less than his own
life and that Of every man in his command.
Those words were not idle utterances; they
deserve to be commemorated."
The Jackson editor says:
The writer of this CHANGED to be at Gen.
Pemberton's headquarters on the morning
Of the 18th Of June, when cOurier--D. G.
Walker, Of Johnston's cavalry-reported to
the General having left General Johnston's

Gus. The courier brought with him 20, 1000
percussion caps, sundry dispatches, and late
papers. In one Of them was an article laud-
atory Of Gen. Pemberton, and calculated to
inspire outsiders with hope. Referring to the
events Of the 22d of May, the article con-
cluded thus:

THE OCEAN TELEGRAPH.

There Is difficulty somewhere at the bot
tom ofthe Atlantic Ocean. Mr.. FKID's cable
is in trouble. Itdont talk WELL and when II
does talk, it announces the important facts that
"cheese is active" that pork is heavy" or
that some woman is "condoling" with some
man, neither Of which is worth q gold dollar
. word to the American press, nor worth an
American copper to the American people.
The New York Herald, commenting on
the subject, says:
.AN The wires across Newfoundland are get
ting out Of repair too often. They have
broken down at least half score Of times
within the past month. This is not right
The Atlantic Telegraph Company are now
coming money at the rate Of 1--we million dol.
lars in gold per annum. They have thus
sufficient income to keep the Newfoundland
line in repair, or to build half dozen other
Newfoundland lines. They charge us full
price for cable news which lies over for
twenty-four hours at Trinity Bay, where
there Is no newspaper published, where there
are not more than five persons able to read
and write, and where our special dispatches
at gold dollar letter, or eight thousand
dollars q column, wouldn't procure for the
operator Goldfish for his breakfast. These,
we presume, are accidents which cannot well
be avoided in the early working Of the line.
But they are accidents Of that peculiar kind
that show how important il is that the pub
lie here should not be dependant on one or
two ocean lines, controlled by o single COM
pany. We have noticed more than once
that after the Newfoundland wires had been.I

man, has recently experienced religion, and
joined church at Cambridge. He has con-

Accidental Death Of an E.-Msmbsr Of Con


PouaHKEEPsIs, Sept. 2-Mr. John B Steele,
Of Kingston, New York, who represented the 1hir.
teenth district Of the State In tho Thirty seventh
and Thirty eighth Congress, and who was at one
time county judge Of Ulster county, was killed at
Kingston to-day, by being thrown from . wagon.
He lived only three hours after the accident, which
occurred under the following circumstances; Mr..
Steele, having hired horse and top carriage ut q
libery stable, was driving through ono Of the
streets Of Rondout, whom the horse took fright and
started of at q violent rate Of speed, hurting the
unfortunate gentleman from the vehicle. On
touching the ground Mr. Steele's head struck the
curbstons. He was picked up Immediately, but
was then insensible, and, being conveyed to his
residence, expired in about three hours after re-
ceiving the injury.
Mr.. Steele was the. leader Of the Democratic
party In Ulster county. New York, and was to
have received the nomination for Congress. He
leaves o wife and one child. r
Mr.. Steele was brother Of Major Con. Steele,
who distinguished himself at the West during the

Western Crops.

The St. Louis Democrat thus sums up the
condition Of the crops at the West:
"A season Of this kind is unpropitious for
the corn crop, and we regret to state that in
many large sections of the country strong
apprehensions are felt that the frost will find
many fields Of that grain unripened. Through
Iowa, as far as our Information extends, the
weather is more suitable for the maturity Of
the crop, and the prospect for harvesting u
heavy yield was never better. Such is the
intelligence from Mount Pleasant, Fairfield,
Chicaugua, Danville, Fort Madison, Batavia,
Nevada, Davenport, Keokuk, and other
places. At Cedar Rapids, on the 18th inst,
corn was considered out of danger, but n
few preceding days had been very cold and
wet. We fear that along the Missouri river,
and throughout belt OF country extending
a hundred miles or more north and south OF
the line Of that stream, the damage will
prove serious.
1.-THE same apprehension exists in regard
to that portion OF Illinois embraced within
the same limits, for the path of the storms
seems to be in due west and east direction
as the severe vistations at Cincinnati and
this point, strongly indicate. But although
this section has been upon the verge of q
frost for some time past, it has so far cs'
capped, except in few isolated cases where
low lands peculiarly exposed, have invited
that late autumn vis!tant Ten or twelve
days Of good forcing weather, as the farmers
term maturing sun, would place the corn
in secure condition, and insure an UMPIRE
cedented yield of the best grain. And such
yield is needed by the country at large"
