THE SABBATH in NORFOLK Is obser-
we'd among the blacks after the manner
of heathens. No man can pass through |
the streets bordering the river without |
having his ears filled with curses and
horrible speeches. Blear-eycd and foul
mouthed women and nastier men, BAN
DIV names aud indulge in blasphem0us
.phrases that would shock the sensbili-
ties of harlgmaii Half nude boys fill
the vacant lots and burned districts, or
wherever else the sun strikes and it is
marbles and hop scotch, from daylight
to dark. No one seems to care for these re-
fuse. The rags in the gutter reach the
junk-store at last but the blacks i'm the
gutter do not appear to have friend.
The agents of philanthropy who have
come from the North on moral missions,
do not think it worth their while to at
tempt their reformation. The Mayor of
the city thinks he is deharred from med
ding with this class of Sabbath break
ers, because they are blacks. Well, then,
| if ii be the business of the Freedmen's
Bureau to look after these people, why.
in the name Of God, don't the Freed
mems Bureau do it? We put this ques-
ton to Colonel Brown, to General How
ard and to the persons paid for such work.
Here are streets filled with people, who
could work, or go to school, or do some
thing useful; and because of divided
Jurisdiction, they are allowed license
that was never granted to white man
in America. Great strapping BIZ elk loaf
ers wander about as airy and as impudent-
ly, as If the whole effort of the war was
to break the chains that bound them
to order. Yesterday right in front of the
office of this paper, II pistol discharged
in the coat pocket of one of the colored
fancy and carried away his coat-tail. We
wish 1t had carried away the peroration
of his spinal column. He was greatly
frightened; first, lest the printers should
suppose he had fred his piece at some
one, and second, lest he had hurt him
self. What business have these sort of
people with loaded reviewers? Are
these implements included in their
freedmen" rights? We trust General
Torbert will issue an order tn disarm the
blacks. Pistol shooting is a midnight
practice III Dirty Waterand other streets,
and it is time it wasstopped or taxed 1t
may be said, since the shootinground the
marble Washington the other day, that
, pistol firing is harmless practice but
; we do not think so, and want 1t stopped
Let these Sabbath breakers and week
:. day loafers--men and women, boys and
girls--be put to some employment; and
that right away. There are decent col
ored men and women in town, who
-, should not be COMPOUNDED with the class
: : we have been urging upon the attention
of some one in authority.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER l5, 1866.
pennsylvania Reserve Association.


TIE old Pennsylvania Reserves had an in
teresting meeting at Harrisburg yesterday,
at which an association was formed, some
thing after the style of the Association of the
Army of the Tennessee, for the purpose of
cherishing old memories, perpetuating friend
ships, and promoting national ,nonor, safety
etc. 1t Is without political or sectarian bias
A meeting is to be held on the 30th OF May
next, the anniversary of the battle of Bethesda
Church, and yearly thereafter at such place
as may be decided upon by those present at
the meeting. At these meetings the order OF
business shall be First, an grafton; second,
report of the Board of Directors; third, elec-
tion of officers; fourth, a banquet.
An election was held for Board OF Direc-
tors, composed of tn rec members from each
regiment, and a meeting of the Board OF Di-
rectors was held afterwards, at which the
following gentlemen were elected permanent
officers of the Board President, Governor
Andrew G.. Curtin; Vice-President. Briga-
dier-General II. G.. Sickel, of Sd Regiment
P. r. c.; Treasurer, Colonel J. p Taylor, of
1st Cavalry P. r. c.; Recording Secretary,
Adiutant John @. Harvey, of 1st Regiment
p. r. c.; Corresponding Secretary, Colonel
John Fl. Taggart, 18th Regiment P. r. G.
Associations of this kind may be made of
great value to its members and Of good inf
enCe upon the public. We wish this one
gteat success.

publican party, and the liberal and inspiring
character of It's doctrines, commend it espe-
cially to young men.
NIne-tenths Of all the soldiers, too, are with
us, and are working enthusiastically for the
success of the Union cause. Besides, we
found everywhere the impression prevailing
that much larger vote than ever before will
this fall be given to the Republican organi-
zation by our iellow-citizens of Irish descent
There is, too, a quiet but very percept-
ible. feeling among Moagbtful men OF all
parties, that in this Constitutional question
involved in the great contest, Congress has
the right Of it. The people are not ready to
see the functions Of the great popular branch
OF the Government, the Legislative depart
ment, usurpedby any other department. The
freedom and integrity of the loW mdling
branch of the Government, springiug directly
from the people in their various districts, and
responsible to them every two years. is
matter which appeals powerfully to the
deepest instincts of the American heart.
Politicians may ignore this fact, but it will be
materially felt on election day.
We regard all the omens as of the most favor
able character for the triumph of the Union
party in all the fall elections. Vermont and
Maine have struck the keynote OF what will
prove to be general song of victory.
