A0."We are in favor of negro suffrage as they suffered in New Orleans" was one of the transpareneies lately carried in a Democratic procession in Baltimore. Such an atrocious a. yewal of sympathy with the most cowardly, un-. provoked murders that ever diagraced our histo-
 ry; to which we find no parallel short of the Spanish crueltiss of the sixteenth century; could not have found public expression anywhere north of Mason and Dixon's line. Yet in the
 face of.such actions thus openly approved We
 hear Northern Conservative orators pratiog about Southern kindness towards the African race. And it is true that Southerners are, as they always have been, kind to negroes, but under what circumstances While negro behaves like dog he receives the kind treat

Manifest Improvement.

The Charlottesville (Va.,) Chronicle, COM
menting on the changes which the war has
wrought in the South, expresses conviction
that those changes are destined to prove in the
highest degree beneficial, and that section Of
the Union TO enter upon a career of prosperi-
ty hitherto unexampled in its history. In the
course Of an article which is, in the main, emf
nently sensible, it makes the following compar-
ison:
"Our loss is matter of sentiment-it is
that of our distinctiUeness as race. Virginia
the South-has lost its Individuality. What
became of the Etruscan town of Veil after it
was taken by M. FurIus Camillus? What be-
came of the Samnites? They were incorpor-
ated in the Roman State-and they became
Romans themselves-but Etruscans and Sam
mites no more. Perhaps their destiny was
more brilliant as members of a united Italy,
subdued into that unity by the power of Rome,
than if they had maintained their autonomy,
and persisted like Sparta and Athens. We
shall be assimiated to the North, as Etruria
was to Rome, and shall be free American citi-
zens, as Italy came to constitute Rome"
To us who know what mere Pigment OF
the Imagination this "distinctiyeness ofrace"
always was, the above sounds slightly absurd /;
but on the whole we welcome with sincere
pleasure the admission it contains.
The conceited notion, born of the ignorance
ofthe plantation, that Virginia or Carolina
was greater than the American Union, ridicu-
lous as it seems to us, has been the cause of
many of the mistakes and errors of the south
ern people; and if once we can be qnite sure
that the logic of events has driven it out Of
the Southern mind we may hope to see its
place supplied by that nober sentiment Of ma
tionality and enlarged patriotism which has
hitherto been almost wholly confined to the
North.

Natural History nlustrated-Beautiful Draw

N atural history NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Li@"
ings h
We have been allowed to examine series
of very beautiful drawings, executed py MT
Edward S. Morse of this city, and intended by
HIM to illustrate course oflectures upon Nat
ural History which h is now engaged an pre-
narino. These drawings represent something
like one hundred and fifty specimens of differ
emf orders of the Animal Kingdom. The sub
;ects are largely drawn from the wonders of
the sea and shore. Curious Sea Urchins, Coral
Builders and Star Fishes, delicate Sea Ane-
mones, and any number more Of which we do
not even know the names, all exquisitely COL
ored in imitation of life, but magniied so as
to give to their minute forms the appearance
which they assume under powerful micros-
cope. A great number Of insects, also, are
here represented in such manner as to ex-
hibit the wonderful perfection of their struc-
lures, and the curious weapons Of otfense and
defense with which they are furnished. These
drawings have been made almost wholly from
living specimens, and they are executed with
a faithfulness and accuracy which give them
the highest value, ard which would be expect
ed by all who know the close and carefui de
votion to the truths of science characteristic
of their author. . sa.gs...l ygses sd
% The course of lectures which these works
are intended to illustrate have been prepared
with especial care, the object of Mr.. Morse be-
ing to embrace in them very large amount
of interesting and valuable information pre-
.Nsa
scented in manner which shall combine the
accurate methods Of science with the familiar
and popular style which is acceptable to a
mixed audience. The extensive and varied
knowledge of their author on matters pertain
ing to natural science, and his ardent devotion
to the subject, are SO well known that there
can be no doubt of its skilful treatment at his
hands. Literary and Scientific Societies, or
Lyceums which may be seeking such course
oflectures as will be a source at once of inter-
est and profit, will do well not to neglect the
opportunity here offered them. .a...,

INSULTING A TEACHER.-A few days since
one of our citizens was informed that daugh-
ter of his had been cruelty punished at the
Congress Street Grammar School. Without
waiting to enquire into the truth of the story,
he went to the school house. The pupils had
been dismissed, but there was quite number
of them in the room with the principal and
her assistants. Addressing the principal, he
made use of abusive and improper remarks.
and would not listen to her when she told him
that his daughter had not been corrected, and
indeed, had done nothing that deserved cor
rection.
Miss Hale, the principal Of the school, in
formed the School Committee in charge Of that
school, of the circumstances, and they offered
the aggressor an opportunity to settle the mat
ter by making an apology, either verbally be-
fore the school, or in writing that should be
read in the school. This he peremptorily de-
clined. ---M At-
Saturday he was brought before the Munich
pal Court upon complaint entered by the
School Committee. On the advice of his coun-
sci he wrote and signed an apology to Miss
Hale for his conduct, stating that at the time
of the occurrence he was good deal excited
on account of the report brought to him, and
did not know what he said. He also express
ed his regrets for anything offensive which
might have fallen from his lips, and assured
her that there would be nothing Of that kind
in future.
i0This being satisfactory to the School Com
mittee, he was discharged upon payment of
costs. -

THE FAIR.-The Freedmen's Fair is the af-
fair which everybody is talking about, the
event which everybody is preparing to cele-
brate, and the occasion which all the world
around Casco Bay-and his wife, have made
up their minds to enjoy and make the most of
for themselves as well as the good cause in
whose behalf it has been instituted by the pat
riotic and philanthropic, the religious and the
earnest men and women of Portland. The
subject occupies all minds, fills all hearts, en-
ploys all hands, and keeps all tongues moving.
Everybody is at work-merchants, mechan-
les, men Of leisure and men of labor, churches
and associations, organizations and commit
tees, the glorious r. FPS, combining the ener-
gy, the tact, the taste and the elau of all our
societies.
Trophies are being gathered, rare pictures
and beautiful, exquisite works of art from
home and abroad, are being collected and will
be exhibited in one of the cOmmOdious rooms
of the City Building. The handy work OF the
fairest daughters of Maine, and, better than
this, the presence of many of these daughters
themselves, will make this one of the most at
tractive occasions of the kind ever known in
our State.
The gentlemen Of the Union Club kindly
purpose to hang the finest paintings belonging
to themselves and friends upon the walls Of
their beautiful Club House in Congress Street,
where they will be exhibited during the fair
week, for the benefit of the fair.
And not only is the town alive, but from the
reports that come to us from all directions, we
learn that the country will not hold back. Al
ready arrangements are being made in the
neighboring towns to give this week of the
fair to the occasion-to the good cause and a
good time. faf

SUPPOSED FLIGHT OF a BANK RoBBER.-
Two weeks since wsmentioned the fact of a
man in Boston paying three hundred dollars
for an extra train to bring him to this city on
Saturday, February Sd, in order to take pas
sage in the steamship Nova Scotian for Liver
pool, which expense he would have saved by
taking the regular afternoon train from Dos
ton.
1t is now supposed that this man was How
ard, the third one of the Concord Bank rob
oers, who had 100000 of the stolen bonds in
his possession. This accounts for his great
anxiety to leave the country, and for bis fear
that he should be too late for the steamer.

OUTRAGEoUs.-A number of young men
(?) took occasion to amuse themselves last
evening, by hooting and making various noises
in the vestibule of the Chestnut Street Meth

on the appearance of the Sexton among them,
the rogues turned upon him like so many
hounds, and it was only upon the arrival Of
others to his aid, that tie villains beat re-
treat. Such conduct is in the highest degree
reprehensible, and we sincerely hope the black
guards may be brought to condign punish
