There is universal expression of regret AT
the failure of the National Express jmla-
ny which has been in existence about one
wear 1t had but recently extended ITS Dus-
mess to this section OF the country, ana was,
seemingly, meeting with good success
We have seen the cause of the failure re-
ferred to the dilatoriness OF STOCKHOLDERS III
paving up installmeuts when called upon
Aud much stress is sometimes laid upon the
unfair competition and prosecutions OF the
other company, (Adams); but, while both
causes NAV have contributed something, III
our opinion, the main cause Is to be found
in incompetency. Since the surrender,
there has been a commendable wish, on the
part Of the public, to see our Confederate
soldiers and officers. who have been impOv-
erished by the war, and thrown ont of en-
ployment at its close, get INTO place ana
position III the business affairs of life. They
have been a preferred class, and in gratitude
for their sacrifices, it was right that they
should be. But correct idea has been
badly carried out in practice. Where there
was a place to be filled, officers and soldiers
have been thrust into them with little re-
gard to their fitness for the particular posi-
ton. 1t has been done as If the end to be
reached were to secure place for Conted-
crate soldier which would yield support,
rather than the success of the business. To
this reckless haste to secure positions on the
part of the applicants and to push favorltes
into place ON the part of the management,
we suspect. is mainly attributable the fail
ure of the National Express. 1t was General

ability, honestly contessing to their incOm-
potency and deplOringi it. And now we have
the result, which need surprise nobody, in
the failure of the enterprise.
We have referred to this SO particularly
/ because we thought we found moral i'll it
to profit by Soldiers should have the
preference i'll allotting positions but only
| the places they are fitted for. One Journal
we noticed deplored the failure of the EX-
press Company because great many needy
! persons were thrown out of employment. If
all these persons thus thrown ont of en-
/ ployment had gone to some business suited
/ to their capacity, however humble. how
much better it had been for them As it is,
/ the most of them have been really harmed
/ by taking employment at an unreasonable
/ time. For the best for the soldier, give the
/ soldier the preference in that he is fitted
| for. If he asks only for labor, give him la
Dor and fair wages and many of our brave
soldiers had better, perhaps, to mend their
fortunes, begin where some who aspire to
fill, viii have to end.-Meridian Messenger.

THE CRoPs.-The summer has clos
ed, and we are grieved to say that the
prospect before our farmers is even
more gloomy than at the close OF
spring. A protracted drouth at crit
zeal period, more damaging in its eff
fects in consequence of the heavy
rains in the spring. seriously injured
the corn crop, portions of it proving a
total failnre-not making nubbins
enough to replace the seed that was
planted The rains which then set in.
and which we hailed with so much JOY
on their first advent, proved almost as
detrimental as the drouth. Cotton
shed its squares, blooms, and young
bolls; that which was planted on
branch bottoms was overfowed and,
in many cases washed up, and many
fully matured bolls have rotted. Corn
in many places was blown down by
the winds which accompanied the
rains, and has rotted or sprouted-
Peas, also, have been damaged, and
we think the crop is seriously injured

From THE LAND WE LOVE, For
September, we extract the following
good thing, which will be appreciated
by the boys who used to ''wear the
groy."
From an officer of Humphreys old
Brigade of Mississippians we received
during the war, the incident below
showing the appreciation Of the Mis-
sissippi boys for the gallant youths
who kept out of the army.
The Brigade was at a halt by the
roadside with stacked arms, when a
nice young man rode by well mounted
and well dressed He was instantly
greeted by a hundred voices each
charging him with using some of the
many tricks, by which, under the ex-
emptions of the Conscript Bill, the
Government. was cheated out of sol
diers He's twenty niger chap,
cried one "No, he looks to poor for
that, he's the overseer, cried an
other He's a potash biler."
. Wrong there, Jim, he's been poking
around camp, picking up old hides to
soak in lanyard" * Maybe, he's a
magistrate take off your hats, boys,
to the sgatire' g Halo, Mister, "
shouts a bare-foted lad have you got
contract for shooting soldiers
- He gave bale of cotton to the con
script officer" " Nary bale. he bib
ed the fellow with his mammy's old
setin turkey hen * Mister, can you
elk them things in the telegraphy of
fee" Send Susie Ann, lock of my
hair over them thar wires Our
young hero with flashing eyes and
tilated nostils showed, by boldly
challenging the whole Brigade to sin
Gle combat that other motives than
fear had kept him from the battlefield
Thereupon, young ---stepped out,
and with polite bow asked pardon
for the rudeness of the Brigade, . the
bows will have little fun, -bnt they
mean nothing of it, they have been
lOnm away from civilized society.
roughing it in camp--hope that you
will pardon them stranger, since they
are true soldiers, fighting for our be
loved country; tbs not often they do
such outrageous things" The citizen
much modified answered courteously,
:, Well, | suppose that was foolish for
getting mad at their jokes, and / am
glad to hear that they do not often
play such tricks upon inoffensive trav-
elers' Very seldom indeed, " re
piled the polite soldier with bland
smile, "never indeed to my certain
knowledge unless some cussed fool
comes riding along, and then they
can't help it, you know"
Our informant did not tell us what
comfort was afforded by the last con-
solatory remark, but we think it prob
able that the youthful warrior never
passed Humphreys Brigade again.

IMPORTANT CABINET MEETING.-A
very important Cabinet meeting was
held in Washington, on the 9th, attend

Even Secretary Seward, although his
health is yet in precarious condition,
stayed throughout the whole session,
and the indications are very plain that
matters of an important character
were under consideration
The statement comes from an au-
thentic scource, the telegraph says
that the case of Jefferson Davis was
discussed at this meeting of the Cabi-
net, and a decision arrived at rs to the
course that will be pursued with refer

This was petition for mandamus requiring the

RECONSTRUCTION.

Report of the Committee of Fifteen.
"A special dispatch to the Boston Advertiser
furnishes the text of the report submitted to
Congress yesterday by the Committee on Re
construction. The report in its present shape
was, after five hours session, agreed to by
all the twelve Union members of the commit
tee. The first section of the proposed amend
ment to the Constitution emanates from Mr..
Bingham. 1t was brought forward by him in
crude form on the second day of the present
session, and in another form was favorably re-
ported from the committee about six weeks
ago, as separate amendment to the Consti
tuition. The second section, in rough shape,
was introduced into the House, in the last
week OF January, by Mr.. Broomall, of Penn
sylvania, and was moved in the Senate in its
present form, almost word for word, on the
18th of March, by Mr.. Grimes, after the de-
feat of the Blaine amendment, and substan-
TALLY at later hour of the same day, by Mr..
Sumner. The third section was proposed in
committee, it is understood, by Mr.. Grimes,
and has the endorsement of the New York
caucus held on Thursday evening last. The
ideas embodied in the fourth section have al
ready been endorsed by the House, an amend
ment to the Constitution embracing them
having been adopted by that body during the
month of December. It will be seen that the
second section is entirely unlike the defeated
Blaine proposition, in that it holds out an in
ducement to the late slave States to at once
admit the more intelligent of their negroes to
the right of suffrage, and to admit others from
time to tine as they become fit to exercise the
right inteligently. The third section, 1t is
presumed, will lead to much discussion, and
propositions for its amendment are already
under discussion to some extent.
The first part is joint resolution proposing
an amendment to the Constitution, and is a:
follows:
"Be 1t resolyed By the Senate and House o.
Representatives. of the United States of Aass
erica, in Congress assembled, Two thirds O
both houses concurring, that The following ar
ticle be proposed to the legislatures of the sew
eral States, as an amendment to the Constitu
tion of the United States, which, when rati
fed by three fourths of said legislatures, shal
be valid as part of the Constitution, namely
"Articte-. Section 1. No State shallmak,
or enforce any law which shall abridge th,
the privileges OF immqnities Of citizen
of the United States; nor shall any Stat,
deprive any person of life, liberty, or property

person within its jurisdiction the equal protec

The members of the Third Parish Church
held meeting last evening to, see whether
the Church would concur with the Parish in
reengasing Rev. Mr.. Walt IN and continue him
as their pastor. When the question came up
there was evidently deep and earnest feeling
upon the subject. Several speeches were
made, or rather remarks were offered by sew
crai, ror arru usurnsp renewing rne can - Dur
all were characterized by moderation and
Christian propriety. Mr.. Walton was handled
very tenderly by those who voted against con-
curing with the Parish, and those who voted
for him seemed to be actuated by that spirit
which breathes in every line of the New Tes-
lament. The meeting was very pleasant
one, and all seemed to be anxious to do what
is best for the interests of this Church and
Society and for the advancement of the cause
which all profess to love 10 well.
The vote stood twenty for concurring with
the Parish and fourteen against it. And it is
but just to say that several who voted against
concurring, remarked that they should have
voted on the other side if they could have
been assured that Mr.. Walton would accent a
new call. The members of the Church are
evidently much attached to Mr.. Walton, and
the ties that bind them to him are hard to be
broken. But we believe from all that we have
heard upon the subject that these ties are al
ready sundered and not to be mended. Mr.
Walton has no desire to swing the Church
into an independent position and destroy thai
fellowship with other Churches which ha.
heretofore so happily existed. To continu,
him as their pastor must necessarily tend Il
such result, and it is far from his heart to b.
instrumental in bringing it about.
