DONATION AT ALBANY.-Thc friends
Of Rev. K. Hadley il Albany, met at
the Methodist chapel in that town on
Thursday evening Of last week. to en-
JOY social visit and to give him d
substantial proof Of their friendship.
The weather was quite bad yet not
withstanding this fact the house was
filed and all seemed anxious to enjoy
the occasion as much as possible. The
meeting was called to order by Ches-
ter Hyde. Esq, and the usual number
Of officers appointed for the evening.
Prayer was then offered by Rev. Geo.
Putnam which was followed by excel
lent music from the choir
Remarks were made by J. c. Dow,
Esq, by Revs. Geo. Putnam and Mich
OILS, and others. After which came
songs and mirth and laughter, which
proved an excellent appetizer to pave
the way for the coming supper, which
it is needless to add was of the very
best quality and eaten with a hearth
good will. A collection was then ia
ken up which resulted in the sum OF
*182,14-$154,64 of which sum was
presented to the pastor by J. G. Row
ell, Esq, the remainder going to pay
for oysters. Mr.. Hadley responded by
kindly and feelingly thanking them fol
their gifts, saying it was far the lar
gest he had ever received; compli
mented them for their good order anC
the nicely of all their arrangements
thought they had sustained their an
cient fame in regard to donations anC
that there had nothing occurred since
he had been with them to mar his hap

THE CATTLE PLAGUE INCREAS-
ING.-Latest foreign advices indicate
no abatement of the 'Rhinderpest.
or plague among the cattle-which
threatens now such a curtailment Of
the ordinary supply Of animal food
throughout Great Britain. as must
inevitably affect the Provision mark
cts. In the course of the past
month the increase Of the disease
had been mo st marked. During
that period the attacks have risen.
from a previous monthly average,
from 1000, to upward Of $4,000,
and the deaths, destruction includ-
ed to upward Of $1,000. Between
the 4th and the 18th of November
the number Of cases increased by
fifty per cent. In the ensuing week
things were not quite so bad, but
there was a further increase still
The London Times assumes that the
deaths, instead of 100 a week, are
at least four times that number, and
if winter does not bring a change
for the better the losses may be 5000
or 5000 a week.

has expressed himself in the same old
way, of the wrong and corruption of
slavery. But he was bound to win
wealth and place, and by this ambi-
ton largely has his course been con-
trolled. 1t is easily conceived that he
may yield gracefully to the defeat OF
rebellion, and even that he may rejoice
in the opportunity to cid in recon
structing the government Of the rebel
states, on the basis Of freedom.

THE TEMPER OF THE SoUTH.-The
American correspondent Of the Lon
don Times writes a. follows from
Columbia, :. c., under date Of Nov.
20:
The Southern people are, repeat,
convinced that the National Govern
ment and the Northern States are
determined to keep them, IT. the words
OF one Of their number. "as Austria
keeps Hungary, and Russia Poland"
Occasional strange acts of the GOV
ernment further help to keep them in
state of fretting and uneasiness.-
For instance, an order has lust been
issued by the administration demand
ing the restoration to it of all the
horses and cattle taken by the Con
tederateS during the war. Now. see
ing that Sherman scarcely left a horse
or an OK alive wherever he went. and
that other raider" carried off every
thing wherever Sherman did not 90.
this looks like a bad Joke at the ex-
pense of the South. 1t is something
worse than that, however. An in
former has only to 90 to the Provost
Marshal and declare that q certain
inhabitant has horse belonging to
the United States. He gets $50 for
his pains, and a guard is sent to take
away the horse. There are not a
few wretches in every Southern town
who will drive a profitable trade bv
means Of this new order. Then ar
rests are still too frequently made
for offences committed during, or i'm
mediately after, the war If the gov
eminent allows its hot-headed officials
to continue these practices, it must
not be surprised if it renders undying
that feeling which has been so often
expressed in these words: ave are
different people from the North,
and can never be united. Our bloods
do not run at the same temperature
and we never can be friends with
them"

The LATE HENRY WINTER DAVIS
The memory of this true champion OF
freedom should not be allowed to
pass away without something more
than the mere mention of his official
career. Mr.. Davis was one Of the
very few young men of the South
who arose with an inyincible hatred
Of the institution Of slavery. and al
though he was born in border State.
the ohgarcy was still powerful enough
there to impede his course and wound
his sensibiIities by social and political
persecution. But he could not be
kept down, and he lived short as
his life was-not only to triumph
over his foes, but to see the whole
system against which he arrayed him.
self pass away forever.
And if, in the unceasing conflict,
he had acquired, or unduly confirmed,
tn Os G combative tendencies which
made him almost as ready to attack
friends as foes, we should, over his
grave at least, excuse these traits as
but the dust and scratches brought
from a noble struggle. As an orator
a scholar and u man of varied accom-.
plishments, Mr.. Davis had but few
equals in political life. His protest
against the course of the last admin
istration on foreign affairs, signed by
Mr.. Wade and himself, though unwar
ranted and injudicious in many re
spects, was one Of the most finished
and vigorous pieces of political writ
ing which has appeared for many
years. Had he lived, he might have
worked free ofhis acerbities of temper
and have won an enduring fame
Peace to his ashes.
