Col. Stokes in BOstOn-He Goes the
Whole Negro.

The Boston radicals had q meeting in
Faneuil Hall on the 3lst of May. Gov.
Bullock presided The meeting was
composed Of the elect, was enthusiastic
but not large. Col w. B. Stokes, OF
Tenn, was there; Mckee, of Kentucky,
was there; and so was Boutwell,, the
right bower Of Fred Douglass. They
made speeches which, the Geographic
reporter says, supported the doctrines
of the resolutions which were before the
meeting, complimented Congress, and
severely denounced President John
son. Col. Stokes severely de-
nounced President johnson" Think
of that Col Stokes, who had been
pretending to be the bosom friend and
confdant of sandy" as he Familiarity
calls the President, denounces his
patron before an audience of Boston
radicals. He has descended into the
Clover deep" and joined men whom
Governor Johnson picked up out of the
cutters in 1862, stripped off their rags,
washed, clothed and fed, and put
money in their purses, but to encoun-
ter their venom and malice, at the
most important period of his political
life. Farewell, Col. Stokes johnson
has endured your support; he can with
stand the shock of your opposition.
But what will the people of the
Mountain District think Of the Colonies
abandonment of them, and going the
whole swine-equal rights, political and
civil, for the negro-the right to vote
and to hold office Here is what the
resolutions he spoke in favor of de,
clare:
j. That the same spirit which caused the
rebellion still threatens to postpone, and d
NAV, unless conquered, prevent q benefcen
and permanent peace.
2. The contamination Of the work o
National security and safety demands til,
earnest cooperation of the entire loya
people.
3. Thanks to Congress for its courage
frnncsg and fidelity IN resisting the admls
sion Of rebels TO Congress.
T. The true doctrine OF reconstruction d
that defeated rebels have no civil or polltl
cal rights which loyal men are bound TO re
spect; and that all loyal men, without re
gard 10 race or color, are entitled to equa
rights as citizens of a Government whIcl
derives its just powers from the consent q
the governed
5. The restoration Of political power
the authors of the rebellion would DO an &C
OF unparalleled political folly.
6. The exercise by Congress Of the powe
70 exclude the whole people Of the reb'
States from representation involves tn
power 10 exc ude part and admit part.
T. The right OF Congress 10 prescribe tn
qualifications OF voters for the election {
President, Vice President and members
Congress is essential in the harmonioJ
workings Of our republican system, and
the very existence Of our republican gov
ernmeut.
s. Sectional animOsities had their o'Igi
in denying equal civil and political righ
TO all men before the law.
O. call upon Congress to carry out tn
principles OF the foregoing resolutions

Soldiers meetings have been held in
York aud Cumberland counties, Penn
sylvania, recently, and resolutions
adopted by them endorsing President
johnson and condemning the opposi-
ton TO him. The following from the
series adopted in York county will do
as a sample:
d" ResolDed; That having fought for the
Union, and assisted in restoring the nation
al authority throughout the land, we are
unalterably opposed to the Radicals OF Con-
gress who are attempting to do what the
rebels failed TO do-subveTt our free iustltu
tions and destroy the Union.
RcsOlUcd, Thatwe will stand by Andrew
johnson in his noble efforts TO defeat the
bold bad men who stand In the way OF the
restoration of the States to their full constl-
tutionsl rights, and that We believe that IN
his magnanimous policy is only to be found
"A sure road to restoration OF Union oil
hearts and Union of .ates, and peace and
prosperiIyto the land.

TIE Test OATH-When Judge Trigg
decided that the test oath, as applied
to attorneys practicing in the United
States Courts, was unconstitutional he
was bitterly denounced as an encour-
ager of treason, and a quasi rebel. lie
was pioneer, and the first to render
such decision; but its justice and Wis
dom have since been affirmed by SINH
lar decisions by Judge Darrell, of the
Federal Court at New Orleans; Judge
Busted, at Mobile; and Judge Erskine,
at Savannah. And it is understood that
majority of the Supreme Court coin
eide with these learned Judges of Dis

The New York Times, in the follow

what radicalism leads to:
Suppose matters 10 stand in 1865 substan-
TALLY rs thoy stand to-dsy-none OF the
gouthern States represented in Congress.
Ia il not reasonably certain that they viii
all be represented in the Democratic Ma
tional Nominating Convention, aud that

cratic ticket, constitute msjority OF the
electoral college-what viii be the result
1t NAV be said their votes viii not be
counted. Congress, containing only
Northern mcmbers-tho South not be-
ing represented IN twill reject them.

cratic party IN the North, ac4uiesce IN a.!

would present 90 the country and the world
the aspect Of majority of the people in
sist3ug upon their right to control the Gov
erBment, as against the unconstitutional
usurpGtIon Of the minority.
The case stated as possible by the
Times will prove to be a certainty, but
we do not think the Radicals will dare
TO resist the will of a majority for q
moment If they should, the leaders
would have q wonderfully short shrift.
There would be no general war. The
whole affair would be settled in the
most summary manner.

THE CRoPs From all parts of the
county we hear that the prospect for an
abundant yield of corn and cotton is
excellent. Indeed if there be no I'M
foreseen accident the corn crop.this year
will be rs large, and the cotton crop
larger than ever before. There will be
about half crop of wheat made.
FRUIr All kinds of fruit is abund
ant, except apples OF these there will
probably be about one-third of the
usual yield
Garden vegetables look finely, and
our citizens have no fears of a failure
of plenty of cabbage, peas, potatoes anG
other table uxuries.-LebanOR Herald

"THE LAND We LovE' is the title OF
new magazine published at Charlotte,
n. C., and edited by Gen. D. d HILL.
The EDITOR tells an anecdote illustrative
of phaser of the character ofStonewall
Jackson and Jubal Early. After the
battle of Shsrpsburg and whilst Jack
son was moving down the Valley to
ioin Lonestreet, Early's division, which
contained the Louisiana Brigade and
other troops not particularly partial to
Maine laws, was considerably scattered.
The Marsanutten Mountains were full
Of old peach and honey, and the men
thought it would be a pity, almost sin,
TO leave so much spoil to the enemy.
Besides. they needed, OF they thought
they needed, something to support
their strength on the forced march.
General Jackson happened to ride in
rear Of this division that day, and he
found the men scattered for miles along
the ROAD in every possible attitude,
from dancing the polka to sprawling on
the ground; in every possible mood,
from grave to gay, from lively to Sc
vere;" some fighting over their battles
again, others of q more sentimental
turn, weeping about the wives and
children far away General Jubal had
expended his eloquence and his en-
phatic Saxon in vain. He had even
spread the report that the mountain
huts were full ofsmall pox, but this had
only stimulated the curiosity of his pry-
ing followers. Conquered at last, he
had gone to camp and was toasting his
Bhins that frosty night by bright fire.
when an orderly rode up with note.
Despatch from General Jackson, Gen
eral." He rose from his seat and fun
bled for his spectacles. But let the
correspondence tell its own tale

state that I think it probable that the rea

Respectfully,
J. A. EARLY, Maj. Gen.
Capt. A. S. Pendleton, A. a. G.
The word saC was duly underscoreC
with the Generals boldest dash. Con
trary to general expectation Gen. Jack
son only smiled and made no furthe
inquiries about the curious investiga
tors, whom small pox could not terrify
The Generals fOrbearance may hav'
been due to the great kindness he fel
toward and confidence he always ez
pressed in his subordinates.

The New York Times says of Gen.
Scott
He was more Jealous of his literary
than of his military fame lie would
endure criticism in reference to his bat
ties, with equanimity, but in matters Of

Letter from General Fisk to RI. Rev.
RishOD Quiutard.

The following is the letter of General
Fisk to Bishop Quintard, turning over
the colored orphan asylum of Memphis
to the Protestant Episcopal Church oil
Tennessee. The eulogy he INDUCES In
towards Mrs. Garfield is not more her
due than it is fitting and tersely ex-
pressed, and we join the General IN the
expression of the hope that the white
Christians of every denomination IN
the State will hereafter control and d.
rect the worship and educational vel
fare of our colored people, and so pre-
vent much of the undue excitement
usually incident to their deYotions =

Right Rev. C. T. Quintsrd, Bishop of Tennessee:
DEAR SIR l have the honor again to
commend to your earnest and tavora-
BILE consideration "The Memphis Col
ored Orphan Asylum" and to request
that at your approaching Convention,
your church may take the institution
under its protecting wing, and make
provision for its future support
Mrs. S. A. NJ Garfield, q communi-
can't of your church, and than whom
none nobler ever gave true heart to the
poor, the weak, the ignorant and the
suffering, has successfully struggled
through much adversely in establishing
the Asylum An extended report OF
the operations of the enterprise will be
submitted TO your Convention. The
good Mrs. Garfield has accomplished
cannot be written. 1t viii be revealed
only in that great day when she shall
receive "Well done good and faith al
servant "-"Inasmuch as ye done il
unto the least of these, ye done it unto
me-"
1 have regarded it as the imperative
duty of the Christian ladies in the late
slave States, to take the initiative in
| the work of educating and Christian
izing the freedmen; and that all aid
extended to the cause by benevolent
| organizations in the Northern States
should be supplementary to the we'll
directed efforts of their brethren in the
| South. Who can be better prepared
to successfully conduct this work than
those whose lives have been spent in
intimate association with the colored
people, and with whom they are to
dwell in the future2 And in so good 8
work for the master, it seems to me
that Christian people of the entire land
should strike glad hands of fellowship.
Trusting that it may seem good to your
Convention to recognize and adopt the
Memphis Asylum, and humbly inviting
the blessing of our Heavenly Father
upon your convocation, | am, sir, with
great respect, your obedient servant,
