skill or intrepidity, and one In which every
Christian feeling was ignored. With no
earthly excuse, he burned his own cousins

Military Institute and Governor LETcHERs
house-hc hung one Of the best of men for
defending the honor ofhis house from out

to pillage and lay waste the land-ano Win
. superior force, fed from before uenefai
EARLY without hardly firing gun! Such
q culogy of such man would be utterly
out Of the question. 1t Is quite sufficient
to say that this General was outlawed by
President DAVIS for his brutalities. We
believe Mr.. DAVIS did say of him that
when they were both younger and much
together he thought HUNTER conscicn-
tious and honest man but he had been
entirely changed by radicalism.
Common report gives to the rather ia
nous Colonel HALpIN, the "MlLEs O'REL-
LIZ" of General HUNTERS staff, the credit
of writing out the "Prison Life" from DIR.
CRAvEN's notes. The understanding be-
tween them was that they were to divide
the profits. These have, it is said, already
risen to the enormous sum Of one hundred
thousand dollars! Oh, most shrcwd and
calculating" "man of the North y!
What under Heaven is there that he will
not make money of The war enriched
him-psacc is filling his pockets to rcplc-
tion-fanaticism to free the negro opened
the field for robbery and devastation-the
hypocritical pretence that when free he
must DO protected, establishes bureaux
with thousands Of sinecures for lazy parti-
sans, and fills the land with emissaries who
rob the negroes and fill their own pockets
with rentals and perquisites-and even
the prison life of Mr.. DAVIS: that
life of misery and persecution which fills
a nation with pain and sorrow, is the theme
out of which two representative men of
the North at one dash make themselves
comfortable for life. Oh, ingenious people.
Oh, unparalleled community of money
loving, oney-getting- in-every- citi-
zcns, the world never saw your like, and
it is to be hoped never will again! Those
sharp and ever-vigilant Greeks who, with
their shallops, infested the Adriatic and
the Archipelago, occasionally "doing"
the villages near the sea along the Medi-
willy Greeks who were
said not only to hold their own, but to get
other peoples to boot-what were they
compared to you! They were fishers with
pin-hooks compared to your wholesale
hauling in of wealth with your widespread
and impregnable and unacceptable nets.
The future historian will drop the pen and
sit paralysed with admiration of your feats
when in his narrative he comes upon those
exploits of yours, which in the world are
without comparison and without rivalry!

STATE CONSTITUTIONS ". CIVIL RIGHTS
BILL.-A colorcd Taxpayer having been
drawn as q juror at Virginia City, Nevada,
one of the counsel objected on the ground
that the Nevada Constitution did not allow
of colored jurors. The opposing counsel
claimed that the Civil Rights bill annullcd
any conflicting provision of the State Con-
stitution. The Virginia Enterprise says:
A very animated discussion ensued be-
tween counsel, both exhibiting considera-
bic warmth in their arguments, and the
point was finally submitted to the honora-
BILE Judge for decision. Judge Burbank
said he should in this matter endeavor to
do Justice to all parties concerned. He
was liable to be in error i'll his opinions.
He had been before, and might be on this
occasion. He ably reviewed the points at
issue as presented by counsel on both
sides. He would give no arbitrary dcci-
sion in the matter of the Civil Rights bill,
but did not consider that it amullcd the
provisions of the Constitution of the State
of Nevada. He was Of the opinion that as
far as the qualifications of jnrymen were
concerned, the people of the State of Ne
vada could only be governed by the Con-
stitution of the State, which clearly de-
clarcd colorcd men disqualified from serv-
ing on q jury. He therefore discharged
Mr.. Brown, who at once took his leave.
The courtroom was crowded with into
rested and attentive spectators, this being
looked upon as test case, and the con-
Guiding remarks Of his Honor were once or
twice considerably applaudcd by the spec
tatorS present.

The Radicals on the Convention.

The Radicals of the present unconstitu-
,ional Congress during the last week
amused the world with curious capcr.
In caucus assembled they solemnly re-
solved that "no Union member Of Con-
"gress would countenance the Philadel-
"phia Convention! AS no one desired
or cxpcctcd that they would favor or sup
port the Convention, 1t was entirely unnc-
cessary for them to publish their determi-
nation TO the world. We can hardly un-
dcrstand this movement Of the Radicals.
As all their acts and the entire frame
work of their policy and measures are
doomed to destruction, we cannot but con-
slider their friendship fatal; their support
certain ruin. Had they taken the
Philadelphia Convention into favor, and
nourished it in their bosom, the victim en-
folded in the coils Of the constructor would
have better chance Of life. Therefore
the nation is under lasting obligations to
them for opposing this scheme by which
the people, through their representatives,
ara for the first time since the war to as
scmble in earnest deliberation on the gene
raj welfare of the nation, in order to see
if they cannot save the Republic from the
ruin that threatens it from Radical hands.
These Radicals are either mad or con-
ceit has got the better of their judgment,
and they imagine that they are firmly fixed
in authority and cannot be disturbed. Can
they be so deludedl Can they believe
that their power is so pervading and indis-
putable that a mere expression of opinion,
a mere shake of the head of disapproba-
ton, is sufficient to place under the seal OF
condemnation any measure that may be
proposed! Do they believe themselves
the Lords paramount! The hundred and
thirty or more tyrants whose voice
is supreme and whose ipSs DIRT none
dare disobcy' They may: for they
have presumption and impudence equal to
any conceivable folly and conceit.
This ridiculous resolve Of the Republi-
cans gives the very best reason why the |
Philadelphia Convention should be held,
and why the South should be fully repre-
scented in it. We hope the Virginia public
will not hesitate moment longer aboutit.
You may depend on it that when Black
Republicanism has fairly developed itself
upon a question, the very opposite side
from that they take is the true one, not
only for the South, but for all good and
loyal people.

DR.. craven's Book-Mr. Davis.

It needed no ghost to come from the
grave to tell US that DR.. CRAvEN's book
was very fanciful production, and that,
though the general opinions and senti-
ments attributed to Mr.. DAVIS were in the
main correct, they were nearly all greatly
ampliied by the book, and some extrava.
CANT beyond credibility.
We need but refer to one passage in the
book TO illustrate the positive miuepre.
sentations that occur sometimes in its
pages; though il Is but just to say that
they are not very numerous. Mr.. DAVIS
is made to spesk Of General HUNTER as
"his beau ideal Of military gentleman.
"the soul Of integrity, intrepidity, true
"Christian piety, and honor" Eulogy
could hardly go further. The opinion OF
mankind would be decidedly opposed to

him had really ever been uttered by him.

Good speed! Will kind Providence send

is matter Of caucusing, and an issue
