81 CONTRAST.

II would be difficult TO imagine a greater
change in society than has taken place in
Gold Hill and Virginia city within three
years. This metamorphosis is az wonder
full as the quick influx OF the original
population of these communities. We
have no, so large a population as we had
three years since but that does not wholly
or largely account for the difference in the
business and social condition of affairs,
relations. then and now. In 1868 stocks
were up, and every other man was a bro
ker, while few were broke. The specula-
tive mania seemed TO form a part Of the
enduring character OF the citizens OF this
locality ; that it was Impossible to separate

Kentucky excep, he should abdicate his
Office in behalf Of Jefferson Davis. This
is also the feeling Of the rebel conservatives

domination of the South over the whole
country. the restoration Of slavery, and
their own appointment to all the profitable
Offices. They have been disappointed
hitherto, and will be hereafter.

Important Order by Gen

Negro Equality.

The following, written by a gen.
tleman of intelligence, who has
made the Scriptures his principal
study for many years, furnishes
food for thought. We commend
it to the attention of all radicals:
Among correct and upright peo-
pie, intermarrying with the negro
race has always been objected and
forbidden, from Abraham to the
present time. Abraham ''made
his servant swear by the God of
heaven and earth that he would
not take wife TO his son Isaac Of
the daughters of Canaan. Gen.
24::3. Why? Because they were
negroes.
And "Rehel1ah said to Isaac, /
am weary of my life, because of
the. daughters of Heth: if Jacob
take a wife of the daughters of
Heth, such as these which are Of
the daughters Of the land, what
good shall my life do me?'-Gen.
27:46. Why? Because they were
negroes. What good shall my
life do me if my son should be SO
silly as to marry a negro? What
most reasonable opposition is
here expressed to marriage with
the daughters of Heth? Why?
Because, as just stated, they were
negroes, as were the Canaanites.
This opposition to intermarrying
with negroes, as thus expressed to
Abraham and his daughter-in-law
Rebekah, has existed among cor
rect people, as stated above, from
Abraham to this day.
1t is most wonderful infdelity
and infatuation beyond degree,
which would put the negro on an
equality with the white man!

TERR1BLE.-The Boston Journal
states that the lady teachers of ne
gro schools at Grenada, Miss, were
obliged to board with negro fami-
lies, as no white families would
receive them. This is adduced to
show that the Southern people are
"disloyal' and rebellious, and, of
course, unfit to be restored to their
rights! Yet, what have these
women to complain of? They
ought to be ashamed to make such
a complaint. They went South
protesting to regard a negro as
good as a white man; and, of
course, if they are honest, they
can have no objection to boarding
with black people. Indeed, they
should do it as matter of duty to
their own sincerity, and
as an example to the "poor, delu-
ded Southern whites" And we
are glad they were forced to prac-
tice what they preach.

The War in Europe.

PARDUBITz, June 29.--The
Prussians were completely defeat
ed yesterday, by the Austrians,
under Golentz, leaving behind one
third Of their army killed, wound
ed and prisohers. They with
drew to Prussian territory, towards
Glatz. The Austrian cavalry, I'M
der General Eiilphane, dove the
Prussians out of Jacin to Furnau,
and compelled them to evacuate
Melinc and Leipsic, and retreat.
The Prussians engaged were Of
the army of the Elbe.
A Cracow (Austria) dispatch
says the Prussians attacked AISLE
Ivinlett on June 29th, and were re-
pulsed with heavy loss.
The Austrians acknowledge that
the Prussians have destroyed their
railroads, and seriously interrupt
ed communications with different
points.
The Hanoverian army has sur
rendered to the Prussians, and
have been allowed to return to
their homes.
A desperate battle was fought
at Bohemia, near Nachade and
Frouton, of which there are con-
flicting accounts.
A Berlin dispatch claims that
the Prussians drove the Austrians
on the 9th and 26th ultimo, cap
turing eight thousand prisoners,
while the Vienna kilograms claim
that the Austrians captured eight
guns and many prisoners.
The Austrians are said to have
lost four to six thousand killed
and wounded, and the Prussians
one thousand. There was great
rejoicing at Berlin over the alleged
Prussian victory, and the people
presented an address to the King.
The general Telegram Company
of Great Britain furnish addition
al particulars concerning the en-
gagement at Costega.
The left wing of the Italians
was attacked at various points 81
simultaneously, and crushed before
the remainder of the army could
come to its aid. After the battle
the army of the Archduke advanc-
ed in pursuit of the Italian army,
which up to that time, had main
tanned the position it held previ-
ously.
1t was, however, driven from
VALLEJO and compelled to recross
the Mincio, the Austrians also
crossing that river, and taking up
their position in Italian territory.
The two armies then stood facing
each other, the Austrians at Valla
and the Italians four miles to the
northwest at Solferino, and it was
probable that another engagement
would be fought.

The Freedmen in South
Carolina.

The agents of the Freedmen's
Bureau, with all the powers vested
in them, have been unable to
make reliable laborers out of the
freedmen of South Carolina. The
Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette says in his dis
patch of the Sth instant:
GA copy of the order respecting
freedmen, issued week age by
Gen. Scott, the commander Of
South Carolina, has been received
here. He regrets the disposition
of the freedmen along the coast
and in the vicinity of Charleston to
break their contracts for labor,
and to idle about their houses or
roam over the country. He says
their disregard of their obligations
will cause an entire failure in the
crops, and must result in destitu-
ton and starvation. In order to
check the evils of theft, vagrancy
and drunkenness, which hesays are
increasing rapidly, he directs that
the men or women who leave the
plantation on which they are en-
ployed, to labor by the month or
a share of the crops, or as renters
of land, and thereby neglect their
growing crops, be at once arrested
as vagabonds, and put to work on
the public roads. Negroes employ
ed on plantations, who do not
give their entire time to their crops,
will be taken therefrom as vaga-
bonds, and their children, if they
have any, will be bound to such
persons as will take care of them,
and teach them habits of industry.
A prison will be established for all
persons of color, convicted of such
crimes as are not punishable by
death, when employment can be
furnished, and all convicts will be
compelled to work from sunrise to
sunset. a
The occurrences which have Ia
ken place in South Carolina are
just what the planters feared at the
opening of the season, when con-
tracts for labor were being enter
ed into. To grow cotton success
fully, it is necessary to have relia-
BILE laborers. Indeed, scarcely any
crop can be grown successfully
without such labor. There is
reason to fear that the action of
the freedmen in South Carolina
will be disastrous to the cotton
crop in that State, and cannot
but be injurious to the freedmen
in bringing upon them the odium
of unreliability.

In Brief the whole story of the
present European war which, before
it ends, may prove to be one of the
most sanguinary and widespread
of modern times, may be thus
told: Prussia coveted two Ouch
les, Schleswig and Holstein, be-
longing to Denmark, and secretly
persuaded the Duke of Augusten-
burg to claim them as hereditarily
his own. Prussia next induced
Austria to cooperate with her in
insisting upon this German claim.
The two made war upon Denmark,
and possessed themselves by force
of the Duchies. This done, Prus-
STA, at the secret instigation of
France, which desired tosee Aus
tria involved in war in order
that its new protege, Italy, might
re-annex, if possible, the province
of Venetia, ignored both the Duke
Of Augustenburg and Austria, re-
solving to keep the Duchies her
self. Austria, of course, prepared
for war with her faithless and
cunning associate, and had the adj
dress to bring over to her side
nearly all the smaller powers
which, with Austria and Prussia,
compose the German Confedera.

might be engaged with Prussia.
And thus stands the present "situ-

brought on the whole trouble while
affecting to be the friend of peace,

Italy, if necessary, to possess her.

supposed to nave promised France
for such a timely interference
against Austria, the German PROV
