From the Richmond Timcs.l
g The steps which have been taken to pro-
vide for the widow and orphans of that
great Confederate soldier, Stonewal1 Jack
son, will, we most sincerely trust, be crowned
with the most splendid success No eloquent
appeals. no labored eulogies upon the i'm
mortal dead, are needed to stimulate the
generosityrof people TO whom he gave his
life, and who are the proud inheritors OF his
vast renown. The name Of the famous Chris
tan warrior carries with 1t spell which
will open the hearts of friends and enemies
alike. Candidly approving all which has
been done, to place the family OF the re-
nowned Southern hero above want, we regret
that the people of the South have in any IN
stance deemed il necessary to beg perrnis-
sion Of the Federal authorities TO collect
money for this sacred purpose.
Such request is an undersigned reflection
upon the officers Of the army of the United
States. We feel assured that they have
neither expected nor desired that their per-
mission should be obtained. Their consent
is, as a matter Of course, invariably. and
gracefully granted, but such requests pro-
ceeding from high spirited people, must
ill the gentlemen 10 whom they are address
ed with surprise.
We know not what there may have been
in other States in the conduct of the Federal
officers which rendered such humble petit
tons necessary, but their action here has
placed them far above the very suspicion of
an intention to interfere with our citizens III
their most praiseworthy efforts to relieve the
wants of the helpless widows and orphans OF
Confederate officers.
The manliness aud self-respect Of the peo-
pie of the South are compromised by these
applications, and the fact that they are even
made, brings most unmerited reproach upon
the military authorities. The idea that the
permission of any official is necessary for
the collection of fund for the family of
Stonewall jackson is revolving to our people
The very report in other countries that such
requests had been made is well calculated to
bring reproach upon a people who have
achieved well merited reputation for yalor
and heroism. Nor have we at the South
military despotism so oppressive and mer-
ciless as TO render it necessary that we
should have TO hambly petition for the priv
ilege of helping orphans and widows.

MISSISSIPPI.

An extra session of the Mississippi
Legislature convened on Monday The
message of the Governor is lengthy and
full of interest. In reference to the
condition of the people of the State, he
says:
From every portion of our State APP
peals have been received for immediate
relief from the burdens that Cypress all
classes of our citizens. The desolation
and ruin of our fortunes-the heavy in
debtedness, both foreign and domestic,
of our people-the scarcity of the neces-
saries Of life-the want of means
TO procure them-and the uncer-
tainty of our future treatment by
the Federal Government-has sunk the
public mind in gloom and dependency,
and renders the task of meeting the ne
cessities and demands of the people a
difficult one indeed Painful appre-
tensions exist that the Federal tax on
the only production Of our labor, and
the suits now on the appearance and
issue dockets Of our courts, will turn
thousands from their homes in want and
restitution From Federal taxation

mail announces that experiments for the
purpose of determining the best breech-

conducted on large scale at Aaran, in

Explosive Bullets.

For some time past numerous expert
ments have been made in France, with
the object of perfecting an explosive
bullet, which, whilst it would explode by
a slight shock, could be carried on the
person with safety, and without the risk
Of dampness destroying its explosive
properties The problem to be solved
was to discover a kind of powder of cheap

handled and carried about, and be put

explosion from accidental shocks, and
which at the same time would success
fully resist the effects of dampness A

Mercantile Gazette publishes some re-
markable statistics relating to the block
ade running trade, which was carried on
during the American war. Nassau, IN
the Bahamas, was the chief port whence
this trade was carried on, and in conse-
quence Of it the imports at that place rose
from e234,O2O in 1860, to 1896, III
in 1864, and the exports from El5I,-
$50 to e4,673,39 an increase
that must be without parallel in the his,
tory of commerce. Cotton was the chief
staple Of this trade, and figures for
nearly four millions in both the imports
and exports during the war. One hun
bred and sixty-four ships connected
with the blockade running trade entered
Nassau; l02 of these made successful

upon local topics, they expressed the
hope that the National Congress would
dspassionately consider the state of the
country, and direct its efforts to the full
restoration of the Union and the removal
or modification of all disqualifyhg acts,
especially the test oath. They also ad-
verified to the case of jeff Davis, and
urged his speedy trial or release on bail

POSITION OF TENNESSEE.

we are informed tnat lennessec ID u
State of the Union, on an equal footing
with the loyal States An amount OF
gas wholly disproportonate, has been
turned on the subject. The truth is,
the State is not admitted, or if admitted
at all, is admitted in contradistinction to
the people BRowNLow's Government
is Misunderstanding else If the State
stood as Ohio stands, the people who in
habit it could amend or abolish their
Constitution and frame one in
accordance with their wishes. But
we are solemnly warned that this cannot
be done. Ohio can reform her institu-
tons in accordance with the wishes of
her people, and no power, State or Fed
eral, will interfere Neither would dare
to do so. Why? Because the State
Government of Ohio is the product of
popular sentiment, and a majority of its
people would enforce the right to govern.
That is republican State Its institu-
tions embody the popular will, or the
will of numbers Any attempt by
minority at home, or any department of
the Federal Government, to deprive the
majority of the constitutional and pre-
scriptive right TO govern, would array
the masses Of every loyal State against
them, even to the point of revolution. A
minority acceding to power by virtue of
a public calamity, could not, after the
restoration of order, exercise it an hour
longer than its term expired. If usurpa-
ton should attempt TO perpetuate it, it
would be violently overthrow. The
public sentiment of the people every
where would trample it in the dust.
Bar in Tennessee, minority did,
during state of war, assume 10 alter
the Constitution, and did actually install
itself as the State Government When
the war ceased, it was supposed that
authority would, under our Republican
system, flow back into the hands of the
people Time proved the suppostion
delusion At last, the members elected
TO Congress were admitted TO seats, and
the State was declared restored to the
Union on footing with the other States
And still, those who would vindicate the
rights Of the people of Ohio to control
that State in all its departments, and to
the full republican extent, would sustain
by force Of arms the assumptions of
minority of the people Of Tennessee to
govern absolutely the great majority
