Mr.. Truman. the travelling correSDOn-

Mr.. Truman, the travelling correspon-
dent of the New York Times, in the
Southern States, writes as follows:
| do not care who that man is be he as
radical as Mr.. Sumner himself, if he is
financially disinteresteu, and entertains
regard or a respect for private opin-
ions, as all true gentlemen do, he may
travel the South from one end to the oth
er, and at the termination OF his journey
he will declare that the great body Of
the people Of the South are loyal, aud
are conducting themselves as true Amer
lean citizens. Send down an ass, who
starts with the opinion that to Sc loyal
the Southern people must sing hosah-
mas over their defeat, or go into costa
cies over the uniuriing Of the American
flag; that they must worship Gen. Sher-
man and curse Gen. Lee, that they must
trample upon, instead OF streW flowers
over the graves of their fathers, hus-
bands, sons and brothers, and he will
pronounce against the loyalty Of the
people. There are many others who
meander the turbid stream of sOulleSs
fanaticism in the same canoe. Those
snivelling Tax Commissioners and their
associates at Fernandna, Fla, who have
sold out two or three cities for almost
nothing, declare the entire South dis
loyal. The greater portion Of the agents
of eolored schools and many OF the Off
GERS OF the Freedman's Bureau iadorse

gust next, to devise measures 'sto pre-
serve the National Union, to vindicate

gether those who are unnaturally sepa-
rated;o to which Convention THE PFC

"GoD SAVE THE QUEEN."-Queen
Victoria is, just now, experiencing the
bitter truth, "Uneasy lies the head that
wears CROWN" She is harassed on all
sides. No sooner had she reached her
secluded summer homein the Highlands
of Seotland, than she is summoned back
to London, to form a new cabinet. She
makes haste to respond to that summons,
and enters Il fast railway train, and has
a narrow escape with her life, owing to
collision near Forfar. On her arrival
in the capital. she finds tumultuous
popular agi. alton threatening the pub
lie peace, while from the Continent come
woes innumerable to add to the catalogue
of her griefs. In this German war she
has near relations fighting against each
other. On the one side is her brother
i'll law, the Duke of e-Cobnrg-Go-
tha, and a son-in-aW, Prince of Prussia.
On the other is another son-in-laW,
Prince Louis of Hesse, and her cousin
the King of Hanover, while her new cou-
sin, Prince Teck, has been summoned to
the war before his honeymoon is half
spent. TO make the situation still more
melancholy, her eldest daughter has inst
lost child, While that daughters hus-
band is allowed no time for mourning,
but has to take the field; and her sec
ono daughter, whose husband is on the
other side, has been compelled to send
home her children to England for safe
ty, while she herself is about to be con-
fined. Add to this the want of friend
illness that exists between the Prince of
Wales and his intended brother-in- law,
the Prince of Augustenburg, rival of
the Princess of wales father, and we GER
tainly have combination ofmisfortunes
but to well calculated to aggravate the
constitutional misanthropy, under which
her Majesty has been laboring ever since
the death of Prince Albert. Jour-

Il sud Prospect IN Ge0rgi0.

The Augusta (Ga.) Journal, takes a
very discOuraging view of production in
its own State. The cotton to be raised,
if sold at 80 cents a pound, will not pay
the deficiency in corn by 100000 900.
These calculations are based upon pro-
ducing ope-half Of the. old cron of corn
and one-tifth of the old crop of cotton.
Wequote:
sThe more we think over the matter.
the more our concern for the future in
creases, and the more imminent appears
to us the West Indian fate of bankrupt
cy, ruin and starvation in the midst of
all the endowments of bounteous nature
for wealth and profusion. We must
pitch upon some plan to made good re-
turns Tor our agricultural investments,
whatevet they may be, Or give up the
ghost as farming country. 1t is now
to plain for doubt or dispute that our
first essay under the free negro system is
going to sink us heavily in debt-partly
from the inevitable difficulties in the
way, and partly from the anticipations
OF such a price for cotton as would en-
able us to buy corn and meat with ease
and economy. We shall raise little cot
ton and get no price for it. We shall
have to buy great deal of corn and
meat at high prices. A pound Of meat
is worth now pound of cotton less the
tax, and it can be produced with half
the labor. We are all wIcng, and must
begin again; and the misfortunes Of a
failure are much aggravated by the
emergencies of our eondition.o

THE TACToF WoMEN.-A great deal Of
the unseltishness, and consideration, and
tact of women is the result of long spent
days in humoring the moods, and noting
the capr ces, and studying the tastes Of
those whom they have been thrown in
to contact during their girlhood and
their youth. Little things at such q
part of their life women thus begin to
learn to be delicate tacticians and diplo-
mats of no mean skill. Hence comes,
perhaps, their keen power of observing
and remembering trifies, not tomention
their habit ofiudging of character from
small outward peculiarities.

could show some good and suitlclent
cause for not doing so, besides his lail-
ure, refusal or inability to take the test
oath.
