PETERSBURG, Jan. 1.-The freedmen of this
city and the adjacent counties celebrated their
freedom by marching in procession through
the principal streets and public speaking on
the popular lawn. The weather was very
unpropitious, but great numbers participated
in the celebration. The different societies of
freedmen donned their badges and turned out
with banners. The occasion was one of great
rejoicing with them, and everything passed off
ia perfect order.

very few exceptions. Those who apply for aid
are generally those who are improyident, and
who have no Just appreciation of the necessity

as free people, in most cases arouses in them

Emancipation Celebration.
BOSTON, Jan. THE new city government

After the Inauguration ceremonies the Com
mon Council met and unanimously elected

Nearly all the cities Of the Common wealth

day.
The great event of emancipation was cele-
brated at noon by the ringing of church bells
and firing OF salutes on Boston Common; also,
at Cambridge, Lexington, Dorchester, Charles
town and other localities. The population
were especially jubilant, indulging in mill
tary parades, and a great meeting IN Ire
mont Temple in the evening, where several dis
tinguished gentlemen made patriotic speeches.
Two hundred policemen paraded to-day,
with Gilmore's Band, making an imposing ap-
pearance. The snow and slush, however, rem
dered the streets execrable for marching.

OF the world, ut the hits in the Nasty letters,
and have bsen Disguised also in common d
the Vapid nonsense which IN double degree
pervades them. But we have never been more
thoroughly disgostod than by his unfseling
traVesty OF Morrissey's candid and honest
letter IN reiation to his past life and futu re
Intentions. That letter was honorable to the
winter. 1t challenged the admiration of every
one who cesires to see human nature work
lte way above the mass of vice with which it
too often finds itself encumbe The man
who could not sympathize with the father in
MS desire to leave good name to his son, is
oestitute OF the qualities that make manhood
hoDie. The man who could outrage the
feelings OF she parent writing such an ex-
planation OF MS past life and future desires,
by turning 1t into ridicule is base beyond the

A HOPEFUL SIGN.

! Our telegraphic dispatches speak OF CON
sultation of Judge Chase and Of leading dem
ocrats and republicans, with President John
son, upon the negro question, and Of a pros
poet that a general amnesty will be offered
to all the people of the south providing they
will grant qualified suffrage to such of the
. colcrsd psople as are capable of exercising
it. This is a hopeful sign-hopeful for the
peace, harmony and prosperity of the coun-
try and gives some ground for the belief
that the negro question may thus be forever
put to rest, and the people left free to attend
to other matters
"a In our opinion ii is the very best thing the
south cando. 1t would, at once, give peace
to the country, and res.ose good feeling
throughout the land.
u We earnestly hope President johnson,
who we know is governed by the highest mo-
tives of patriotism, will bend all his energies
TO bring about such a promise at the ear
lest possible day.
