The Vicksburg Herald thus
speaks its views: elf any Radl-
cal was ever black enough In his
views to suppose the people of
Mississippi would endow negro
schools, for their ilk to teach the
rising ebo-shin hatred of his form
err master, but his best friend,
then such chaps had better take
to marching on with John Browns
soul; they will hardly reach the
object of their desires short of the
locality where John is kicking
and waiting. The State has not
opened them, nor has she the
slightest idea of doing any thing
of the kind"

purchaser should desire an increase

Freedn1en's Bureau.

Captain John C. Burnett, AS
sistant Superintendent Freed
mems Bureau, has issued circu-
lar to the Freedmen of Western
North Carolina and the adjoining
district of South Carolina, which
will be to most of them somewhat
interesting and very surprising.
He commences by telling them
that he has heard that about
Christmas they expect to receive
the mules, horses, farming utensils,
and a portion of their former mas
ters' plantations. If it is true
that such are their anticipations
he informs them that they may as
well dismiss all such idea at once,
for the Government has nothing
to do with their masters planta-
tons, and has no right to dispose
,, of them in any manner. And fur
thermore, he adds, that if they do
not labor-have not labored since
they became free-during the win
ter they will be in a situation
worse than slavery-they will
have nothing to support themselves
upon and must, with their fami-
lies, perish. He assures them that
the Government will not feed
them, nor will it help them in any
way, and if they do not labor hard
and establish for themselves char
acters for industry and integrity,
their race will pass away and they
will be known only in name. He
furthermore says:
"Since | have been among you |
have discovered that a majority
of you look upon your former mas
tiers as your enemies, and upon
the Yankees as your only friends.
In this you are mistaken. | am
from the North, and know well
the feelings that exist their to-

dom, and in that freedom the peo-
pie of the North will ever protect
you, unless you become unworthy
of their protection.
"The South is your natural
home, and Southern men will be
your friends. The majority of
you were raised, have grown up on
the same plantations with your
former masters, and | know it to be
a fact that there is feeling, SYM
pathy, existing between you that
does not nor never can exist be-
tween you and the people of the
North. If Southern men are your
enemies, it is your bad behavior
that has made them so. The fact
is that you know not how to ap-

have read with deep interest in a New
York paper copiouS extracts from the
"Prison Life" of Mr.. Jefferson Davis, as pre-
sentcd to the world by DR.. Craven, who, as
an enemy during the late American war,
was preiudiced against the head and leader
of the armed Con:edcrateS, but during a
long professional attendance by the sick
bed of the illuStrious prisoner, became his
friend and admirer. The style OF DR.. Cra-
ven is admirably clear, unaffected, and
free from pedantry, and the scenes he de-
scribcs as an eyewitness are so deeply
interesting that they cannot fail TO awaken
throughout the world the sympathy Of
all who appreciate true nobility and
undeserved suffering. | have also been
presented by a friend with Il copy of DR..
Cravens book, and regret to find, on read
ing it, that Mr.. Davis indulges in I'M
friendly animadvcrsions on those who at
the termination Of the war thought proper
to leave the country.
believe that, closely confined as he
was, Mr.. Davis remained in entire igno-
rance of the circumstances which made
this course on our part not only correct,
but patriotic. But if there are any who
entertain a different opinion, think but
respect the feelings OF our compatriots
abroad when request suspension of the
opinion until release of our ex-Presidcnt
from confinement, and his freedom from
persecution shall have enabled us, with
propriety, to defend ourselves and should
this be not conceded, for one would pre-
fer to rest under undescrved censure
rather than add the weight of feather to
the cares which already so cruelty oppress
our former chief.

VALUABLE DIsCovERY.-A Limbourg
newspaper mentions that the following
substitute for ordinary lighting gas has
been discovered. 1t is gas composed of
atmospheric air, steam, and hydrocarburet
vapor. This gas is inexplosible, portable,
and economical. 1t neither destroys nor
fouls the apparatus or pipes, and does not
require any heat to be employed to make
il. nor is the construction of i gasomcter
necessary.
The light given by this gas is clear and
brilliant, and has neither smoke nor un-
pleasant smell, and the process Of iabrlca-
tion is so simple that each family can have
it's apparatus and make its own gas.
Moreover, it seems that the gas can re:
place steam az moving power for small
machines Of from ono to four horse power.

made himself conspicuous at Philadelphia,
is, like Secretary HARLAN, Of the same
State, Methodist prcachcr-in the north
ern or political branch of that church. He
is Eirginian by birth, but has resided
without the State for many years. He
formerly preached in the counties border
ing upon the Monongahcla river, and is
still we'll remembered throughout north
western Virginia. He is an eccentric man ;
is hurley fellow, with stentorian voice
and uncouth manners is always ready to
express his opinions, and by no means
choice in his language. He was elected
chaplain of the United States Senate some
eight or ten years ago, but, as might have
been expected, was not reelected upon the
expiration of his term. At the time of his
election he was staying temporarily in
Fairmont, in Marion county. He preached
one of his political sermons while there,
and then, as now, spoke his mind very
freely in regard to the designs Of the Abo-
lition agitators. OF one of these wide
mouthed northern Methodist preachers,
who lived not thousand miles from Fair
mont, and who was noted for a vain-glo-
rious estimate Of his own abilities, DEAN
once said, "IIe regards a compliment to
any other preacher as an insult to him
self"
Some twenty years ago DEAN was
preaching at church in Monongala
county, and was much annoyed by the
habit which his hearers had of turning their
eyes from the pulpit to see who it was that
was coming into church. Brcthren,"
said lie, "give me your attention, and |
will tell you the name when any one comes
in" A worthy old countryman soon en-
tered, and was amazed to hear the preacher
call out, "That's brother ELI MERRIFIELp."
Another entered "That's PAUL HArS."
One afcr another was announced, but
very soon DEAN astonishcd the whole con-
gregation by cXclaimng, GA little old
man with blue coat and white hat :; |

Selves
DEAN is a bitter opponent Of the Radi-
Gals, and understands and still believes in
that theory of the nature Of our form of
government which JEFFERSON, MADISON,
and their compcers, laid down as the true
one. He is true Eirginian at heart, as
witness the eulogy which he last year went
out of his way in public address delivered
in the West, we believe it was, to pro-
nouncc upon her distinguished men, and
which culogy has recently been repro
duced as part Of one Of his late speeches.
He is not one of your compromiscrs-not
he; and we cannot imagine by what means
he was induced to keep out of the Phila-
delphia Convention. He is no doubt a
useful man in his State, and one Of the
only kind that can operate successfully
against the Radical extremists. We should
not cry if he succeeded HARLAN in the
Senate.

YORK RIVER ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS OF
THE WoRK.-It gives lis pleasure to state
that the work on that most important
route to the scaboard, the York River rail-
road, is progressing very satisfactorily. 1t
is only few weeks since the company
commenced rcconstructing the road, and
though there were many difficulties to
be overcome, the track is already laid with
substantial rail to 4 point some five miles
below Richmond. Everything is now
moving on smoothly, and it is expected
that the road will be in running order
through to West Point in November next.
The accomplishment of this great result
will be due almost entirely to the efforts of
the energetic president, Alexander Dud-
ley, ESD, whose whole soul seems to be
devoted to the work. We noticed yester-
day at the depot in this city a splendid new
locomotive, the "West Point" which has
Just arrived from Patterson, n. j., and will
be at once placed upon the track.
