FADING AWAY.

The following, from a Louisiana paper,
is supposed to demonstrate the fact that
the colored race cannot long exist. unless
they live in a state Of slavery. 1t says:
Ii, is frequently observed by those who
"make a note" Of things as they pass
along, that negro women are rarely trou-
bled with infants in the last year or two.
This is an ominous fact. Few negro
women have children, and when they do
their increase soon "returns to the dust as
it was" Formerly, these women had
comfortable homes. regular employment,
plenty to eat, and lived in families. Now
they are wanderers, and almost outcasts.
When their children are sick they neglect
them, and most Of them die. When
grown negroes are sick they have but lit
lie feeling for each other. If they have no
money they need not send for a physician,
and they die BY thousands and tens OF
thousands all over the South. The daily
mortality among the negroes is equal to
the ravages of an ~unsparing peshlence;
and still no note is made Of the astound-
ing fact. Where are the Louisiana ne
groes who cultivated these fields, and per-
formed domestic labor in 1851: Nearly
half Of them are in their graves, and thou
sands of the other half are travelling with
excited and rapid steps to the same stop
ping place. It is proverbial that the free
negroes Of the NcEthern States have only
increased by accessions from the slave
States. In Hayti they have been decreas-
ing ever since they ceased to be slaves. In
the other West India Islands where slavery
has been abolished the same facts hold
good. They are s~elf-doomed or immo-
lated by their Republican friends on the
altar of freedom. They are fading away
and will continue to fade, so long as they
live with q race Of white men who have
no special interest in averting the ca
lzmity.
There is much food for reflection in the
foregoing extract. How much truth there
is in its statements, however, we don't
know-but if the negro is dying off as is
represented-if death gathers them in
at the rate Of an hundred per cent. in four
years, it is indeed well, for the Almighty
has His purposes. "The judgments
Of the Lord are true and righteous alto
pether." Better that the poor negro
should return to the dust as it was. than
that he should remain a slave any longer.

ARREST FOR FORGERY. Some time
abou, the 22d of last month, two letters
containing drafts payable to Michael
Dwyer, who is now in Virginia City, were
taken from the Express Office Of Wells,
Fargo s. Co., in this city, by some party
who personated the party to whom they
were addressed. One of the drafts drawn
by Paxton, Thornburg s Co., Of Virginia
City, and payable at the London & San
Francisco Banking Company's Office for
the sum Of $500. This draft was cashed
by a banking house at Sacramento, and
the second, drawn by Messrs. Clements s.
Co., Virginia City, on Messrs. Grain,
Switzerland & Co., at the Bank Of British
North America, in this city, for $264, was
cashed by the parties on whom it was
drawn. The drafts were returned to the
drawers in due time, and the endorsement
of Dwyer in both cases found to be for
geries. A description Of the party who
procured the money or the drafts was fur
nished to Capt. Lees and Detective Ellis,
and after following him from point to
point. and tracking him to q dozen differ
ent banking houses and business places,
they last nigh, found and arrested him.
He proves to be q young man who gives
his name as ]. w. Stewartson, and has
highly respected connections in the Pacific
States. When arrested he confessed the
forgeries at once, and said to Capt. Lees,
'Oh, if l only had the last fifteen or twenty
days of my life to live over again /! Heaven
only knows what I have suffered since I
did it," He says he gave 5000 Of the
money for safe keeping to a fellow who
run away with it, and left the country on
the last steamer, and there is no reason to
doubt his story. 1t is a sad Cases.. F.

JEFF. DAVIS.

1t is quite time for the Government to
determine what disposition shall be made
Of the case Of JEFF. Davis. In this opinion
we do not take the personal comfort Of the
prisoner into consideration, nor the wishes
Of those ardent friends who were so lately
his co-partners in the attempt to destroy
the Union. But we think that some de-
cision should be made in the case in order
that the Government may not be a subject
for European criticism in connection with
this matter. As the case now stands, the
whole three branches Of the Government
the Legislative, the Judicial and the Exc
cutive-are apparently at a loss to deter
mine what action to take relative to JEFF.
Davis. Congress has done nothing but
TO ask the President for information upon
the subject; the President announces thai
he can do nothing because the Chief JUS
tiee is MOI, ready ; the Chief Justice declares
tina, he will do nothing until the President
restores the civil status Of Virginia, where
Davis has been indicted; and hence the
different branches Of the Government pre-
sent the spectacle Of doubt, hesitancy and
uncertainty concerning their respective
functions. 1t is certain that the people are
in favor Of having the case Of Davis finally
disposed Of without further procrassina-
ton. If he is to be hanged, or imprisoned,
or exiled. or set at liberty, let the decision
be made, finally and irrevocably. We
believe that the interests Of the country, as
well as minor considerations, demand this
course. The Government should aim to
make the people forget, as far as possible.
the bitter events Of the civil war, and there
is no one circumstance better calculated to
keep alive the smouldering embers Of sec
tional hatred than the uncertainty that ex-
lists respecting the fate Of jeff. Davis. II
his case were disposed Of, he would soon
be forgotten, but now he is the cynosure
Of oil eyes, North and South mystery
respecting his eventual fate feeds the popu-
lar curiosity ; the Southern people feel that
he represents them in the hour Of advers-
ity Just as much as he did when "the
pomp and circumstance" of high office
were his. In this way Davis is still exert
ing a bad influence, and the Government
is accountable for it. He should be tried
at once, in order that his name may be for
gotten as quickly as possible. and also
that the Judiciary may establish a prece-
dent respecting "the greatest Of all
crimes"

KIDNAPPING NEoRoEs AT THE SourH.-
In a recent Senate debate, Mr.. Sumner
read the following from a Florida letter:
Another big trade is going on-that Of
running negroes to Cuba and Brazil.
They are running through the country
dressed in Yankee clothes, hiring men,
giving them any price they ask, to make
turpentine on the bay, sometimes on the
rivers, sometimes to make sugar. They
get them on the cars. OF course the ne
gro don't know where he is going. They
get him to the bay and tell him to 90 on
the steamer to 60 around the coast, and
away goes poor Cuffee to slavery again.
They are just cleaning out this section OF
the country Of the likeliest men and
women in It. Federal officers are mixed
up In it. too"

The following extract from a letter

like q night to a small niger. We were
forty.eight days on the trail from Walla-
Waila to this city! We walked every

showed every day and night. The last

two comrades froze ears and fingers, but
whenever / felt like freezing I thought Of
my dear friend Aleck, and warmed up !!
He is worth o ton Of good coal and q blast

timber, within four miles Of the summit Of
the Rocky Mountains. The snow is about
twenty inches deep, and there is not the
slightest chance to work at mining until
April. I have succeeded in getting q placer
claim, but don't know whether there is
anything in it or not. As far as l can
find out, the country is spotted" Some
men have been exceedingly fortunate. and
more have nothing for their pains. There
are large tracts of the finest farm lands in
this Territory, and if the mines really
prove rich, there is every reason to antici-
pate prosperity. But 1t will always be a
cold country to live in. 1t 10 as cold as l
ever saw or felt in Vermont. This is
called a pleasant day ; but I am, neyerthe-

without burning, and the ink freezes in

butt end Of the North Pole was punching
me in the back. Frozen feet and hands
are common as flea bites in California, and
two of my neighbors have died from cold.
Provisions are plenty, but very high. For
instance, -four is $34 per hundred, beef %
cents per pound by the quarter. bacon IS
cents, sugar so cents, syrup IS cents per
gallon, beans so cents per pound. l
brought quite a stock Of coffee, and have
traded it for beef, which is more filling at
the price. III don't "winter KILL" I in

ing spring and summer. and get out before
another winter. One like this will do me.

NECESSITY OF PRESERVING THE
PRESENT MILITARY STATUS In
THE SOUTH.

" II. AL
General Grants opinion concerning the
withdrawal Of troops from the Southern
s,o,.s indicates that the Government will
no, &C, hastily in removing the military
restraint upon the South. General Grant
thinks il would not be advisable to with
draw the United States troops "until
there is full security for equitably main
tanning the rights and safety Of all classes
Of citizens in the States lately in rebel.
lion." 1t is not difficult to see the scope
Of that language. The condition in re-
spect to the equitable rights Of all classes
has reference to the freedmen, and by it
the late rebels are informed that so long as
they continue in their present attitude
toward the negroes, the military ought to
be retained. But it is not only the con-
duct of the people toward the freedmen
that has occasioned the opinion which
General Grant expresses in the sentence
we have quoted. The evident antipashy
with which the Government is regarded
by a large class at the South has not
escaped the notice Of the military
authorities. Such instances as that
which recently occurred at a Mobile
,heaser, for example, when the citizens
Kissed down the old national air,
yankee Doodle" are calculated to make
the Government somewhat cautious in re-
moving the troops. Suppose the Govern
mens should withdraw the troops, in COM
pliance with the wishes Of the late rebels,
what would be the consequence: That
act would constitute a termination Of the
war de jtve. 1t would place the Southern
States precisely in the position Of New
York-with all the attributes Of constitu-
tional State sovereignty. Suppose, then,
that the late rebels should commence o
wholesale persecution Of Union men ; sup
pose they should abuse the negroes and
reduce them to practical slavery ; suppose
they should ventilate their rebellious feel
ings to the extent Of verging upon actual
rebellion-whss could the Government do?
Nothing. 1t is only in case of open re-
bellion that the Government can transcend
the civil powers of a State. We do not
say that Southern States would act thus;
we do not believe they would do so: but
do not the actions Of the people indicate
that there is a possibility of such danger ?
1t is that very possibility which General
Grant foresees when he declares that he
would not a, present recommend the
withdrawal Of the United States troops"
