at tho great meeting in Kingston on Wednes-
day night, II Il evident that the movement has
plenty Of vitality in it There are many
agencies at work to intensity the anxiety for
annexation among the Canadians. First, there
is the fear Of another Fenian invasion; next,
hostility to the confederation scheme Of the
government party, and again, very serious
distrust in the imperial government as pro-
tector in time Of trouble. These sentiments
operate very strongly with many Of the COM
meroial classes and also with large majority
Of the French Canadians, who, though NOT
willing TO have the land overrun by an In
vading force, see the advantage Of connection
with the United States to their future pros
perity and security, under stable govern
ment like ours. We are not surprised, then,
TO SEQ this desire for annexation growing
apsce; and while it Il . matter Of little mo-
ment to us whether Canada comes into the
Union or not, we cannot fail to observe the
importance Of II 10 the Canadians, and ere
quite willing that they should reap all the ad-
vansages Of such move II they choose.
DIRTY STREETS AND SHORT DRxssEs.-For
some time past the streets Of this city have
been extraordinarily dirty. During the reign
Of poor Boole, who has recently been suffering
from numbness Of the brain, Broadway was
kept clean, even If all the other streets were
filthy; but now Broadway Is sea Of slippery
mud, and pedestrians 70 across II at the risk
Of their necks, rs well 40 of their apparel
Worse than all, the sidewalks are almost 90
bad a. the carriage way, and elicit . general
grumble The street cleaning contractors are
not doing their duty, and should not receive
their pay. II Twill not satisfy the people to get
rid Of the jobbes Of the ''ring" II they are
only to be humbuggsd by another set Of men
who promise largely but sweep end hoe very
little.
II Is one Of the most beneRcsnt dispensations
Of Providence, however, that The fashion Of
short skirts should come into vogue just when
our streets are dirtiest. Not long ago the
ladies used to be the best street cleaners, drag
ging the dirt after Thorn with their trailing
robes. This was . very good thing for the
contractors and che dry goods merchants;
but very bad thing for the pockets Of hus.
bands and fathers, who stared with horror to
see hundred dollar dresses employed M
brooms. The dressmaksrs OF Paris have
changed oil that Nothing csa be more CON-
fsrtsbie, more becoming and more convenient
thaa the latest style Of small crinolines aud
short dresses Ladies' oan now walk without
dragging their skirts and ride In cars and
omnibuses without taking up three times the
amount Of space for which they pay. Some
women. with large ankles have complained Of
the Ian fashion upon tho ground that the
ladies' feet are conspicuously displayed; but
we havo yet 10 learn that II Is any more In
delicate for q lady TO show her feet than for =
gentleman TO riiow his, and gentlemen have

BURNING OF CoLUMBIA.-In the Senate
on the 1st instant, Mr.. johnson, of Maryland
read portion of letter from Gen. Wade
Hampton on the subject of the burning of
Columbia, South Carolina. General Hamp-
ton controverts the statement recently pub
ished by Gen. Sherman, that Columbia was
burned by his CHampton's) orders. He asked
for the appointment of special committee
of Congress to investigate the subject He
says his State is debarred from representa-
ton, and has no one to impose the taxes
which she is called upon to pay, none to vim
dlcate her or her sons from misrepresentation,
injustice and SANDER, and he asks Mr. John
son to see that justice be done in this matter,
though the Heavens fail.
MIR. Sherman said he could not allow this
charge of this most impudent rebel against
the whole army to be entered upon the re-
cord without some answer
The charge of Gen. Sherman, in relation
to the burning of Columbia was in an Off
cial report, and was fully sustained by re-
ports of other officers. Sherman did not
charge that Hampton gave an explicit order
on the subject, but simply that his previous
orders in relation to the burning of cotton
caused that result. Sherman read from the
various official reports to confirm the charge
against Gen. Hampton.

MEssRs EpTroRs II see in the Progress
of Wednesday remark, that in the May
celebration of the negroes, military autnori-
ties prevented them from carrying banners OF
flags in their procession that might nave
caused disturbance.
Now, am one of number OF Yankees
present that really wish to know how far we
may be able to go in this community III the
way of indulging ourselves, when fit of pa
triotism overtakes us, without causing
disturbance.
Must we be careful not to whistle the Star
Spangled Banner or" yankee Doodle in
the streets If one of my negro boys wishes
to indulge himself in = trainin display,
how must advise him as to his banners, to
avoid his being mobbed by the loyal citizens
of Raleigh? Has negro any right to show
Joy over his emancipation? If so, how far
may he go without offending the people who
"have accepted the situation and voted
themselves loyal to a fault in Conventions
and Legislatures, and thus escape the implied
mobbing of the Progress
The State has voted the act of secession
nullity, hence they have voted that the rebel
FLAG was an illegal one. Negroes labored
and fought to conquer it-negroes were made
to labor to support it. If they wish to glo-
rify over its fall, how far may they do so
without offending the people who have voted
1I
More nearly home, how far may I rejoice
over its fall without offending the people of
North-Carolina?
We have a strong interest in this. We
have no admiration for the negro, and by
education do not half as well affiliate with
him domestically as the Southern people do,
but the negro question is bound for some
time to be the exponent of good or bad feel
ing between the different sections OF our
fru haDoa involves interests (ll-
rectly
am one of large majority of the Yam
KEGS present who are here not to cOnciliate,
but to be conciliated. We accept a man for
what we find him to be, and not an atom
more or less. We think we have done
enough in keeping out Of our hearts a hate
for a people who have made such a bloody
and expensive effort to denationalize us on
the soil where we had been proud once to
call ourselves Americans. Now, we wish to
know, after all our wounds, our expended
treasure, and mortuary of our dearest rcla-
tives, how far we may be permitted to re-
joice over victory without being mobbed by
loyal Carolinians
AS to the good taste of constantly remind
ing defeated people oftheir defeat, it is not
a matter for discussion, but to say that a
slave shall not glorify over his emancipation
is a tyranny of soul, only to be entertained
by some person below the powers of mic
rometric measurement.
Knowing that you are well advised on the
condition of public sentiment in this COM
munity, knowing that the Southern people
feel themselves agrieved by any report of
their disloyalty, knowing that you can re-
spond categorically to these questions, and
thus while doing the residents justice, give
us full information, appeal to you.

FIRE IN PETERsBURG.-Somee excitement
has been occasioned in Petersburg by the
firing of two churches in that City belonging
to the colored people. The churches with
some effort were saved. The Petersburg pa
pers repel in the most earnest terms any in
ference that any of the respectable white
people of that place approveof such conduct,
but on the contrary they deprecate and con-
demn it.

PERSECUTION OF UNION MEN.-In the
Senate, on the 1st instant, Mr.. Trumbull pre-
sented petition of one hundred and forty
six citizens of Staunton, Va, representing
that the troops having recently been with
drawn from that place, Union men are being
persecuted by rebels, and praying that the
troops should be returned for the protection
of loyal men.

TAX ON CoTToN.-We learn that report
is in circulation that Congress has passed a
law taxing cotton five cents per pound, and
also prohibiting the sending cotton out of
the country for sale. We know of no such
law, We feel sure that no such law has been
passed.
We advise the people to pay no attention
to idle reports.

Gross OUTRAGE IN LENoIR.-We learn
from the Goldsboro' Neacs that VIM. r.
Loftin, six miles from Kinston, was attacked
on the night of the 2Sth ult, by twelve or
fifteen mounted men of both colors purpose
supposed to be horse-steaing. Lottin was
shot in the arm, and a negro living with
him was shot in the face. Several of the
robbers were wounded and driven off, leav-
ing horse and coat, which may cause the
capturing of some of the party
DIR. Bartlcson's house and out-houses were
also burned, and he was shot several times.
1t is supposed that the same party was con-
cerned in both outrages.
We learn that at the late term of the Supe-
rior Court for Lenoir there were many pre-
sentiments and indictments by the grand
Jury In the case of Mr.. Perkins, of Wayne,
for an attempt to rob and murder him, the
jury failed to agree, and there was mistrial.
Crime seems to be on the increase in Le-
noir On the night of the Gath April man
named James Laurie robbed of his
pocket book and watch near Kinston, by
some negroes. Recently the gin house of r.
W. King, Esq, was fired by an incendiary
and consumed, with cotton screw, cotton
seed, corn, &c.

Who Can Vote Under the Proposed Franchise
PiUl

The opponents of the Franchise Bill which
passed the House of Representatives on
Thursday, find it impossible to fight against
it successfully on fair grounds, and are COM
PEELED to resort to every kind of misrepre-
sentation in order to prejudice the public
against it. The Union and Amr7ricnn, the
original secession and disunion organ in
Tennessee, has a characteristic article upon
the bill, from which we take the following
extract:
20 1t is useless here to recount our objections
to the bill, which are, we truly say. not per-
sonal 1t is unconstitutional; DESTROYS pub
lie liberty, is fraught with evils which. if it
is continued will be entailed to coming gen
erations; stands in the way of justice, and
fraternity, and is full of evil. Under it,
there will not be five thousand honest men
in Tennessee who can vote; and we want it
executed, because we believe the first civic
duty of the citizen is obedience to law for
the further reason that We want those who
are willing to perjure themselves, to define
and exhibit themselves in their true color
and for the additional reason that we desire
to ascertain how far a free people can be
made the slaves of a rcvengeful, passionate
and accidental oligarchy."
These statements are grossly incorrect, as
we can easily show. The bill is, in fact, a
very liberal one, more so, in fact, than the
is desirable is that there are no provisions in
the existing act to secure its faithful enforce
ment, as there are in the bill
The following classes of persons can vote
according to the provisions of the bill now
proposed:
1st Glass: All who voted in November
1864, or at the election for ratification on the
22d of February, 1865. or at the March cleo
ton 1865. This class embraces at least
twenty-five thousand.
I'd Glass: All persons who have been h.n-
orably discharged from the Federal army
This class will number twenty-five thousand
more.
Sd Glass: All loyal persons in East Ten
nessee, living within the rebel lines at the
time of the November election, 1864, or of
the February and March elections in 1865,
and could not vote for that reason This
class numbers not less than twenty thousand
4th Glass Loyal men in West Tennessee
not allowed to vote by the rebels This
class will number, say not less than five
thousand.
5th Glass: Non-combatants and non-par-
ticipants in the rebellion; say at least three
thousand.
9th Glass All appointees of Governor
johnson and Governor Brownlow say two
thousand.
These six classes number not less than
eighty thousand persons, which is about the
number of persons that will vote under the
pending Franchise bill

LYNCH LAW IN MIssoURI.-At Rockport,
in Atchison county, Mo-, on Saturday even
ing, the 9TH ult., between and o'clock, a
mob of between 100 and $50 men attacked
the sheriff of the county and took from his
hands the prisoner Robertson, who had been
arrested for the killing of Capt. Hunter, a
son-in-law of Bill Lewis. The crowd took
Robertson to a grove near Maj Werlands
farm on the Nishnebotone river and there
Notwithstanding he plead with them for trial
at legal tribunal-they hung him by the
neck until he was dead
Citizens of Nebraska City, who were on
board the steamer which was leaving the
woodward when the affray between Hunter
and Robertson took place say that Hunter was
the aggressor, and that Robertson was on
the defensive. Hunter had been in the
Union and Robertson in the Confederate ser
vice, and in Missouri it is in accordance with
the new constitution for ex-union soldiers to
KICK, cuf and beat ex-rebel soldiers when
ever they feel inclined, and it is not lawful
1or the latter to defend themselves. If they

UNION COUNTY BoNDs.-The Magistrates
of Union county met last week and levied a
tax to pay the interest due on County Bonds
issued before the war for internal imnrove-
ment purposes. This shows a commendable
spirit on the part of the Magistrates to main
tain the credit and standing of their county
Such obligations have to be paid at some
time, and it is much better to provide for
them promptly without being forced to do SO
