In lrobiIe-Letter from

S0AeAGo 18CAA[s
We have been furnished with copy
of letter from Mistress Charity John.
son, formerly slave of one our Oldest
and most respectable citizens. Charity
Is as black as the ace of spades, but it
will be seen from her letter that she is
not devoid OF cunning, and some Of the
arts sometimes resorted to by so-called
fashionable bellies of another COLOR
Charity appears to be Every happy" in
her new relations, having married a
white man and having "a house all to
herself" The letter is addressed to hes
"dear cousin" Kitty, of this city, and
reads as follows: ra- sal s.t 4
Kitty, I am married now to a nice
Young gentleman, and he is iChie man
too! But that is nothing strange to you,
for you know that wouldn't have a
Niger as long as there is SO many white
men that tcant8 colored ,rires. He is a Lou
isville gentleman, and he thinks am
the "belle Ct MOBILIZE" and I am going to
keep him thinking so as long as'he has
cotton to sell; but, when the cotton is
gone, don't know what he will think
then; but "a long as he has got q bale OF
cotton IiriH lore him still His name is
Joe Harris, and that is the name 60 by
as long as the cotton holds out. But as
soon as it is gone I think will change
my name to Johnson again. Direct to
Charity johnson, Mobile.
The above shows conclusiyely that
Charity has cut her "eye-teeth," and we
would suggest to her tChite hege ioro
that he would do well to watch his BLACK
wife,or the Courts of Mobile might be
troubled with case of Grim. con, which
would afford to our esteemed contempt

we prospered so well, but from which, in
latter days our rulers have strayed so
far. Such being the purpose Of the ma
tional assemblage about to convene in
Philadelphia, how important it is that
the honest patriotism, the genuine
Unionism of this State be represented

that our delegation be composed of men

In order that these ends may be attained

State, .suhjsct 70 the. action Of the Con-
-veatjen to assemble June Dth. The
with that he should present his name
to Be used in that connection, has been
% hequently and generally expressed
that he has eonseated to the arrange
meat aU
~Coa. Wright caaae to this State about
i years ago and il thoroughly identi-
fed with the interests Of the State. He
was. chosen TO represent this county in
the Sixth, seventh, Eighth, and Elev-
enth General Assemblies Of the State.
At the last county convention he was
selected a. candidate without any oppo-
sition, and was, ON the assembling Of the
Legislature chosen Speaker Of the House
Of Representatives, over which he pre-
sided with marked ability and success.
His industry integrity and ability, to
gether with his thorough knowledge Of
the workings Of our State and county
governments render him eminently
qualified to fill the position for which bt
Is a candidate.
Col. Wright was, at the organization
of the 24th Iowa Infantry, appointed
Major of that Regiment. He was pro
NOTED about the time the regiment wa
transferred from the Mississippi to the
Shenandoah Valley. He commanded
the regiment during most Of the time II
WAS in the service, and remained with

hope he may, and expect he will, receive

New Position.

Newspapers and leading politicians
In the interest of treason, have, with
great unaninity, decided on a plan for
getting unparaoncd rebels into Congress.
and for restoring to rebel communities
privileges which they so lately rejected
with scern. The Daily Neps, New |
York paper, representing set Of trick
sten who ought not to be called politi-
cal party, publishes the plan as follows:
"They Congress- stand armed with sto-
len and unlawful weapons to dispute the
passage of duly elected members Of Con-
gress to their rightful seats in the Ma
tional Legislature. Then why does not
the Chief Magistrate of the Republic
interpose his authority to prevent this
outrage against the representatives of
the States and the people? He has the
power to do 80. He is Commander in
Chief of the armies Of the United States
and has at his disposal an armed and
disciplined force amply sufficient to pre-
serve the peace at the seat Of Govern
ment and to enforce obedience to the
laws beneath the roof of the Capital OF
the Republic. Let day be fixed for the
Southern States and people to take their
seats in Congress. The seats are there
ready to receive the rightful claimants
Let them enter, take possession of theil
Gown, and fulfill their official functions
Should violence be offered them by any
nAa or number Of men under any pre-.
keAae hatsocUer, let the President send 9
detaehment of Federal troops to preserve
<order il the Capital"
This Is the whole Of the plan, the au-
,thorsaiF Of which is disputed between
Northern and Southern traitors. Thai
the execution Of such plan would b.
rank treason will not be disputed by an,
except him who regards rebellion ane
treason nothing but an innocent mani
feaaA&son Of political opinion. That the
suggestion OF such a plan evinces the
basest disloyalty and dishonesty, will b
admitted by all except those degencrat,
political relics who persist IN running OF
WY unpopular liIhIL5, dhA ALL
hheir defeat to the extreme fanaticism O
the great mass of the people, and who ar,
80 lost to all sense of political righteous
ness, that they fail to discover why it i
that the people will persist in supporting
