WoMEN's FREEDMEN's RELIEF AssoCIA-
TIoN.-An association of the above title was
formed yesterday as an auxiliary to the Penn
sylvania branch OF the Freedmen's Union Com
mission. Mrs. Aubrey H. Smith was chosen for
PRESIDENT, and Miss. Susanna Baldwin for Cor
responding Secretary Several letters were read
from tersons in the South, in which it was
stated that IN the valley of Virginia, at Wash
ington, and in various portions of the South,
there is great need of supplies; that clothing is
very much required, especially for the women
and CHILDREN, some of the latter being insutl-
ciently Clad The letters were in some instances
written by school teachers, a number of whom
have been sent South by the Pennsylvania
branch of the Freedmens Union Commission.
1t was resolved to send to destitute localities
such clothing as is IN the hands of the Associa-
tlon. and TO take prompt measures for obtaining
additional supplies.

A Republic or a Kingdom.

Mr.. Smith, of Hardeman, intro
duced into the House of Repre-.
sentatives on Wednesday q bill
described by the Reporter as fol
lows:
"To authorize the Governor to
issue writs of election. 1tprovides
that no election for officers except
Governor, Electors for President,
and Representatives in Congress
shall be held until writs are issued
by the Governor, prescribing the
time and manner of holding such
elections"
If this is not making Of the Gov
ernor King, or at least a viceroy,
we know nothing of the powers
and prerogatives of such characters
tits very palpable that it is new
born species of absolutism totally
inconsistent with the rights, and
subversive of the liberties of &
free people.

Women in Mems Clothes.

The papers frequently contain
accounts of women who have as
sumed the masculine garb, and la
Dor like men for an honest living.
We saw a lady ourself, a few
months since, walking down Col
lege street, in Nashville, with her
hair tucked up under beaver,
and frock coat and "bifurcated
integuments" on her person, as
though she had a right to their use
and custom. How can woman
so unsex herself with such glorl-
Gus privileges as her own inherit
lance? Her" ploughshare" should
be her share in the quiet felicity
of the domestic circle, and her
4'cradle" should be the feather bed
where her husband and children
sleep, proud of her care, happy in
her smiles, and ready at all times
to prove their affectionate devo-
ton to her better interests.

Another Message.

BrO,cnlooC has sent another mes
sage to the Legislature, accom-
panied by the military orders pub
lished in the OJ8crrer last week,
in WHICH be says:
All experience has shown that
military courts are alone compe-
tent to punish military officers,
ana that soldiers and army en-
ployees shonld be amenable to
military law alone. Nevertheless,
rebel lawyers and rebel grand Jul
ries persist in fomenting prosecu-
tons and damage suits for acts
done by soldiers and army employ
ees-and done too under militia
ry orders and in the line Of duty.
The changeableness Of military
orders, the uncertain duration Of
the military occupation Of the
State, and the liability of a change
of commanders, renders it neces-
sary that the more stable protec-
ton of legislation should be extern
ded to the loyal people Of the
State.
| therefore recommend that you
embody the class OF cases reclted
In the orders of General Grant
and Thomas, in an act of the
General Assembly, and strictly
prohibit the courts from taking
nnu cnrnizarice of them.

Will there be War?

j We see little to apprehend, in
! war shape, in the recent captur'
of the Mexican town of Bagdae
by a company of United States
negro soldiers. Too many of the
negro troops in the Federal army
are disorderly fellows, and require
the strictest control to keep them
from perpetrating variety Of out
RACES. They have an instructive
love for plumber and destruction,
and if let alone would soon raw
age the land and despoil its inhab.
itants of honor, property, and life.
1t was probably body Of just
such soldiers, mere brutes in hui
man form, that committed the
raid into Mexico, robbing all the
stores they could break into and
running off with the proceeds
The act of these thieves cannot
be justified. The "Monroe prin-
ciple" has nothing to do with their
buccaneering enterprise. This
government is no more response
bic for it than was the British
government for the Canadian raid
into St. Adams, Vermont. The
French government cannot de-
mand satisfaction for it, as Mr..
Druyn de Lhuys has already in
formed Minister Bigelow that
France does not govern Mexico,
and MaXimiiian will hardly care
to provoke war with the United
States on his own private account.
No doubt this government is ready
to explain" if called upon, and no
doubt the marauders, if caught,
will be shot without benefit of
clergy and without American in
That will end the diff
liculty. We can expect no better
evidence of discipline on the part
Of soldiers who have in them so
little of the moral stamina of
white heroes, although the fana-
tics Ill Congress assert that these
negrocs are quite equal if not SUI
oerior, to white men, and that the
most bestially ignorant of their
lass, the late Southern slaves,
merit the franchise more than
white immigrants from other lands.
Massachusetts,, for instance, would |
Keep foreign-born white men out
