Ma. JoHS FoRsYrH, the editor Of the Mo-
bile Register, is writing letters to his paper
from New York, detailing his interviewswith
Mayor Hoffman and other johnson leaders,
and giving as follows his theory OF the cons
ing coup d etdt- for which. it will be noticed,
he makes the mistake Of no, considering
Democratic gains necessary:
"But the final struggle in the great nation.
al contest will be at Washington in the or
ganization of the next Congress- LII the
Conservatives hold their own, the South will
be counted III the organization. and the two
will constitute quorum. Washington will
be the battle ground; whether q bloody one
or not will depend on the fighting temper OF
the Radicals The true Union men do no,
regard the present rump as Congress of the
United States. in the meaning OF the Constr
tuition, and their purpose is to organize a
Congress the Constitution. If the struggle
resolves itself into an issue of force. theIwar
Of revelation started al The center will widen
its circle, and soon set the whole North In a
I blaze
The Richmond Times con,emplates the
same event, and carries It's look into futurity
still further, predicting an entire revolution
in our form Of government, resulting 10 m
Andrew johnson monarchy. We quote q
few sentences:
"Call it despo,ism if you choose, but Il
this complexion must America come q

The Richmond Times, a leading organ OF
the Southern wing Of the John Copper
gives vent t. the aristocratic hate of the sris-
tocracy which burns in the hearts ofthe chiv-
airy against the mudsiils of the North who
have overthrown them on the field of battle,
and propose to hold the reins of Government
in their own hands till the spirit of treason
is broken, if not utterly exterminated from
the aristocratc South.
Here is what the Times has to say Of the
masses Of the people in whom the sover-
eighty of the State inheres in our form OF
government:
"The depraved and vicious elements OF
the Northern population which have seized
the reins Of power and seem determined to
keep them, at all risks and hazards, may we'll
fill us with forebodings when we contemplate
their nature, with knowledge from history
of how such forces act. When power is in
the hands oil the lowest stratum of society
when the rude. coarse, unthinking masses oil
the people, fred by every explosive passion
aud dangerous prejudice which the skill aud
ingenuity OF vile demagogues can impart tc
the mad rabble and seethng mob when, WI
say, power is so vested and so perverted i
takes no prophet to assure the world that i
will be loosely, wantonly and cruelty abused
and that II will alone be kind aud merciful t
those VINO are able to protect themselves. "
1t is the rule Of the majority after all tina
the oigarchy hate and contemn and wa
against, and always have done in the South

Correspondence ofthe Cincinnati Gazette
NASHVILLE. Tenn, Oct. 10.
! send you the following statement in re-
gard to the riot said to be under consder>
alton here, and which caused considerable
excitement, though in a quiet way.
About h week ago the city police arrested
large number OF colored men upon the
charge ofeagrancy. They took them before
Recorder Wilkinson, who of course fined the
most OF them and those who could not pay
charges VT re sent to the workhouse. About
fifty were thus secured.
For some time back, Messrs. Beach i
Cheatham, cotton planters in Mississippi,
were IN this city trying to obtain hands to
pick cotton for them. They must have hands,
the crop must be taken care of. Whalwas 10
be done to secure menl Nothing less than
to obtain the services of the city police, and
the above named arrests and commitments
were the result
These gentlemen then livery honorably;'
step forward and offer to pay the fines of the
Migrants IN the work house" he offer
was accepted, and these Migrants SO OBJ
tanned, were sent, without their consent, to
Mississippi, to pick cotton under guard.
these poor fellows were so taken away from
their homes and families, without their
friends having any knowledge Of their where
abouts.
When their wives and families heard of
this outrage, they made complaints, but not
threats. This was construed into conspir>
acy to raise an lnsnrrection of the blacks and
to murder the whites. This outbreak, hows
ever, did not oecur;sor although the blacks
have good cause, those about here have no
other ideas than such as become peaceable.

The New York Clipper gives an account Of
III. passengers who persisted on the ship
wrecked Evening Star, hound for New or-
leans.
First on the list is Mrs. Cunningham bur'
dell, whose name is still familiar to the pup.
lie in connection with most shocking and
mysterious murder in New York city, some
wears ago. The Clipper says "she had es'
tablished an exsensivs and fashionable ~as'
son ds orisettes, in New Orleans, and was
returning to that place from visit to Phia-
d.lphia, Baltimore and Boston, where she
had collected fresh troop of yeung girls,
known as nymphs du pare, whom Mrs. Cum
nineham was conveying to the Crescent City,
in order to promote her nefarious business,
which was assuming vast proportions. ms
nditres, du salon has gone to the bottom OF
the ocean in company with thirty employees
and co-workers in crime =
Miss Julia Mortimer, the Misses Fowler, Lou
isa, Mile, Clara and Emma, all actresses or
dancers, and Wylde Harding, fonrth husband
of the notorious Belle Boyd, the Spauldins
and Bidwell opera troupe, and the Nicolo
troupe numbering in all about eighty per-
sons. we're also amongst the lost.
Resides these we're a number Of profession
al artistes. Edward S. Berry, clever Irish
vocalist, Edward Murray, a song and dance
man; VIM. Wray and wife, magician and dan
seuse; Mamie Z. Let's and Mary Du-
vail, singers and dancers, end the
French opera troupe. Among the pas
sengers was the opera troupe Of Mr.. Paul Al
haiza, comprising ffty>nine singers, ar.iste'
and musicians, whom the manager had en-
gagged in Paris. Mr. Alfalfa reached New
York BY the steamer Vile de Paris on Sep
TENDER 2sth with his company. He put hi
troupe at hotel, to wait the sailing of thu
Evening Star, and on the 2ath they took pas
sage on that i'll fated steamer.
Such general massacre of that class o.
people who were hurrying 10 New Orleans in
pursuit of business or pleasure, was never
chroniced before.
