the following case OF cool robbery:
A robbery, as cool and bold as any

returned to find bis horses, wagon, pro-
duca, etc, had been stolen. This, in the
middle OF the day, in a crowded street,
with tie owner of the property but

rascality.

Coon ADVICE TO THE Co1oHED
PEoPLE.-General Palmer recently
addressed 1000 coiored persons at
Louisville. He said that, In the
nature OF things, for years to come,
the colored people of the country
must be iabo.ars, but their interests
and the interests of white labor will
be identical. He expressed his graft
fication at the general kindness Of
the people of Kentucky for theirlate
slaves, which he said was true, not
withstanding some cases of brutality
and outrage, the work of abandoned
persons in different parts of the State.
He urged upon his hearers industry
and thrift In the cultivation of the
land, and good feeling towards all,
as true solution Of All questions
between the races. n
The speech Of the General was
enthusiastically received, and the
utmost good order and kind feeling
prevailed during the delivery.

Via Havana we have news of
another revolution in San Domingo.
Cen. Paez is now President of the
Republic. Ex-President Cabral has
accepted military position under
the Government of which General
Pedro Guillermo, who seems to have
managed the whole affair, is the
practical head. The revolution was
peaceful.
News from the City of Mexico to
the 10Th, and from Vera Cruz the
23d, had been received by the steamer
Vera Cruz at New York. By q decree
dated the 10th, the Emperor Maxi
milan conceded to Don Manuel B.
Cunba Beis, the exclusive privilege
for ten years OF introducing Asiatic
coolie laborers into the imperial ter
ritories. The Empress was on her
return to the capital, having reached
Vera Cruz.
Advices from Japan to November
18th, state that the Commission had
gone to Osaka, to ascertain if the
Tycoon intended to withdraw from
Yeddo, and reside near Keato, the
dwelling-place of the Mikado. If so,
they would then be able to discuss
the question of indemnity, and the
proposition of opening new port,
and try to settle the difficulties created
by Nagato, and demand q reduction
of all duties to an al colorens rate of
five per cent. on imports and exports.
1t was also hoped that they might
come to clear understanding of the
legitimate power Of the invisible
sovereign of Japan, the Mikado.

How A VIRGINIA CHURCH WAS

him to raise a subscription for the
purpose of repairing the little church
edifice. The Major promised to do

The Fenian Brotherhood.

The Senate, as it is called, of this
organization is now in session at New
York. At their first meeting, on the
I'd instant, there was q very large and
enthusiastic audience. There was no
lack Of enthusiasm for the cause Oh
the purpose for which either branch
of the organization was convened.
The principal attraction in the assem-
blage was the presence of large
number of ladies, who seemed to take
the greatest interest in the proceed
ings. Speeches endorsing O'Mahony
were delivered by number of his
enthusiastic Fenian admirers, and
much anxiety was evinced for the re-
suit of the Convention.
General T. w. Sweeny, the Fenian
Secretary of War, publishes mani
festo to his countrymen, upbraiding
them for their dissensions, and en-
treating them to forget their quarrel
and return to duty in the great task
of freeing their fatherland. He re-
commends convention Of delegates
from the different circles of each
State, to decide on whom they will
repose confidence, O'Mahony or him
self, and then allow the successful
man to carry out his plans.
A French Fenian organization has
sprung up along the New York bor-
der among the French Canadian resi-
dents of this State, and, like the Irish
Fenians, they have got to quarrelling
among themselves One faction is
anxious to plunge headlong into war,
declare against England, establish a
Canadian Republic, with its capital
and departments at Elmira, New
York. and to invade Canada. The
other faction is opposed to any such
rash action, and the Head Centre, or
Chairman of the Convention, has ad-
dressed rs q letter, which we publish
this morning, and which explains the
plan, purposes and difficulties of the

One Northern Mans Experience in
the South.

the SOuth.
It is gratifying for us occasionally
now to find one man from the North
who reports his experience among us
as favorable since the termination of
the war. Mr.. Carl Shurz, doubtless,
would recommend Mr.. True as fit
candida for trial by Military
Commis on, but there are many
Southerners who would consider him
a truthful and honest man. The
Rochester IN. ~ Democrat has the
following:
We We're gratifed last Saturday at
receiving call from our correspon-
dent at Madison, Ga, Mr.. B. F. True.
who left that place December 2. He
went from Lima, n. Y, in advance
of company that had been organized
in that place for emigration to Geor-
gia. Mr. True has secured by lease,
with the privilege of purchasing,
some twenty-five hundred acres Of
land near Madison, upon which the
company are to commence operations
in the spring. They will take out
improved agricultural implements,
with skilled farm laborers, to show
the freedu N how to plow deep and
till the.la' thoroughly, and to take
charge OF gangs. Cotton planting
begins in April, and the latest pick
ing takes place in December, when
ginning and baling for market begin.
Mr.. True brings a very favorable
report as to the temper of the people
where he had been sojourning. There
seems to be considerable genuine
loyalty, with IL general desire for
peace, and the consequent return of
prosperity. They regard emigration
from the North with great favor, and
give practical men, who come with
the intention of remaining, a warm
welcome. The negroes have no con-
fidence IN the Southern whites, and
work for them with the greatest re-
luctance, but gladly engage with
Yankees. They are not worth much
until they have looked about, after
recovering their freedom. They like
to loaf about for while, and see a
| little of the world, when, as general
thing, they return and are contented
to work. Many remain in the towns,
hanging idly about, and become 8
prey to starvation and disease, which
is sweeping them off by hundreds.
The freedmen in Georgia are, how
ever, better off than in most other
States.
Mr.. True expects to return to
Georgia this week, prepared to com
mence operations for the opening of
work on the company's plantation in
the spring,

DEATH OF Rev. W., A. MCSwAIS.-

DEATH OF Rev. w. A. MCSwAIN.-
The announcement of the death of
this distinguished divine, though his
precarious situation was known to
many, cannot but carry pang of
sorrow to the hearts of his many
admiring friends and to the Metho-
dist. Episcopal Church at large, of
which he was an eminent and loved
pastor.
Our readers will remember that,
some weeks since, Mr.. McSwain,
unfortunately, had his leg broken, by
jumping from his buggy, in appre-
hension of danger from an unruly
horse. He suffered intensely with
the broken limbs, but his physicians
think the broken bones would have
healed, had not diarrhoa fell upon
him, which running into a typhoid
dysentery, with the inflammation at
tending the fracture, proved more
than his system could bear, and whia1e
terminated fatally on Mondaz l
ing last, about 1 o'clock. &
Mr.. McSwain had been -
and efficient preacher for O. ~
five years, having served al -
Srant in almost every cornd -
State. He was, for tim\
ing Elder of the Cokesbury f. :

Captain Sem,ncs.

We learn from our exchanges that
Judge Hughes, one of the counsel for
Captain Semmes, has made applica-
tion to the Secretary of the Navy to
have the day fixed for the trial of the
accused. The Secretary of the Nav
declined making an order of tue
character requested, on the ground
that it is at the present time imprac-
ticable to make the detail of officers
to constitute the Court, there not
being a sufficient number of the
proper grade now employed. The
counsel engaged for Semmes are
Messrs. Hughes, Denver and Peck,
of Washington, and Pendleton Col
ston, Esq, of Boston. Semmes has
not yet been removed to the Old
Capitol, but is confined in the navy
yard, in a room adjoining the chapel
The room is in the second story of
the building, and is very comfortably
furnished with bed, sofa and table,
and it is also carpeted. The marines
at the yard are charged with his
custody. A sentry is constantly on
duty at the door of the room, while
outside the building, under the win
dows of the room, another sentry is
stationed. No one is allowed to speak
or hold intercourse with him, except
one gentleman, who holds pass from
the Navy Department, understood to
be his counsel. He spends most of
his time in reading, having brought
with him some of his favorite books.
His meals are brought from restau-
rant near by and paid for by the
Government. Under the circum--
stances, I've is quite cheerful, but
seems t. be anxious that the trial
she'll take place speedily.
