The BALTIMORE SCnUTzENFEsT-THIRD
DAY.-The Baltimore Commercial Of yesterday
speaks Of the Schutzenfest, in that city Of the
day before, as follows: "As on the two previous
days the great Schutzen festival was again
crowded to excess yesterday by many Thousands
of our citizens, including all classes, sexes and
ages, and all seemed highly delighted with the
entertainment afforded them. Owing to the
threatening aspect Of the weather during the
morning. but few persons visited the grounds
during the morning, but about noon the crowd
began to arrive, and from that hour until 8
o'clock p. m. a continuous stream Of human be-.
ings poured into the enclosure, the cars being
literally crowded to excess. The prize shooting
and prize bowling occupied the early part Of the
day, until about Up. m, when the several bands
of music began an instrumental serenade to
those present, which was greatly rolished.
About 3 o'clock tho Punch and Judy show
began, and about 5000 persons gathered on the
lawn in front of tho tent In which the perform
ances were being given, and an hour was spent
in noticing the performances Of automatons,
operated by an individual, who also possessed
the art Of prestidigitation. The festivities last
evening were very brilliant, and the dance was
kept up to q very late hour"

The Tennessee LegisIature.

A recent number Of the Nashville Press
and Times thus speaks of the work perform
ed at the last session of the Legislature of
that State:
The Legislature which met in October,
1865, has wrought for itself a name which
men will "not willingly let die" 1t is with
out precedent in American history, and
"none but itself can be its parallel" Like
Hercules of old, it has heroically performed
twelve labors, for which men will feel ever
lasting gratitude.
The first labor was the ratification of the
amendment to the Federal Constitution, for
ever abolishing and forbidding slavery in the
Union.
The second labor was the colored testimo-
ny bill.
The third labor was the civil-rights bill.
The fourth labor was the great railroad ap-
preparation BILL
The fifth labor was the metropolitan police
bill.
The sixth labor was the East Tennessee
and Northern Railroad bill.
The seventh labor was the loyal suffrage
bill
The eighth labor was the reimbursement
of nearly $4,000 colorcd voters.
The ninth labor was the universal free
school bill.
The tenth labor was the ratification of
the second constitutional amendment, after
two weeks struggle with the Presi-
dent.
The eleventh labor was the expulsion of
the boilers from the House.
The twelfth labor was the loyal jury bill.
Hercules himself does not show brighter
record.
If Hercules slew the hydra, did not the
Legislature slay the hydra of treason? If
its heads still grow out anew, we trust they
will soon be scared to sprout forth no more
forever.

WINE CULTURE.-A writer in the
London Medical Times and Gazette
shows that there is no lack of a plentiful
supply of wine from France and other
countries of Europe, and asserts that
there is wine enough in the world for
all. From this we learn that there are
100000 proprietors of vineyards in
France, 1000 varieties of wine cultiva-
ted, 5,435, 900 acres of land devoted to
vineyards, and crop in 1864 of ], $780,
100000 gallons of wine, worth $780,
100000. 1t is one popularity of the
vine culture that it has, as it were, it's
own zone, and intrudes on nothing else
"See," as Burgundian once said of his
country, "the hills nourish the vine,
whilst the arabic fields below them
yield corn for bread, and the meadows
on the river banks are pastured by fat
beeves." IF we extend our view from
France to the Rhine, Switzerland, italy,
Austria, Hungary, Greece, Spain and
Portugal, we find vast quantities ofland
fitted for vineculture.
In wine countries the value of new
wine in good seasons is the value of the
cask that holds it. Two wines from the
department pHerduH which alone pro-
duces twice as much as the whole king
dom of Portugal, are offered for sale in
London at very low rate. The first
is sold i'll casks at the rate of fifteen
cents a bottle, and the second at six
cents the bottle. One of these is de-
scribed as ca stout, rough new wine,
adapted for family USE"
Before long the home supply of wine
in the United States will be sufficient
to meet all the wants of the inhabitants.
The two States of California and Ohio
yielded in 1860 upwards of a million of
gallons; Kentucky, the third on the
list, gave return of nearly 1so,soo :;
next Indiana, $500; and thsn New
York, 1000; North Carolina $4,000 !;
Illinois, $4,000; Connecticut, 5000 !;
Virginia, 10000; and Pennsylvania,
$4,000, &c, &c.

THE FAMOUS MOTHER GoosE's ME1o-
D1Es-Mr William L. Stone, of the Journal
Of Commerce, delivered recently, in New
York, q lecture on the early newspaper press
of America, in which he gave some interest
ing "reminiscences of Thomas Fleet, founder
OF the Boston Weekly Rehearsal, 1871. He
stated that this odd genius married Eliza
beth Goose, one of twenty-one children :
was so annoyed by the peculiaritics of his
mother-in-law, that he wrote, to ridicule her,
the famous Mother Goose's Melodies"
We confess to q decided admiration for
"Mother Goose and feel sorry that she
owes her origin to so uncharitable a source.
We suppose the Melodies" were collection
of the nursery rhymes of our English ances-
try, made perhaps by loving mother who
understood the tastes of the little ones

A meeting OF the citizens of Craven was
called to be held in Newbern, last evening,
to nominate a candidate for the State Sen
ate, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the re-
signation of the Hon. N. E. Manly.-Senti-
nez
There is no good reason under the sun, on
the earth, or "in the waters under the earth,"
why the present Legislature of this State
should again assemble. That delectabe
body always excepting some thirty of its
members who are patriots and loyal men,
has inflicted infinite injury on our people
1t is now in the hands of Gen. Sickles. Ifhe
should allow it to meet again it will be nee
essary to fill the vacancy in the Senate from
Craven. The Unionists or Republicans of
the two races will be able to carry the Coun-
ty by large majority. Judge Manly is the
last avowed secessionist who will be elected
to Office in this State.

Destructive Freshets.

The western papers contain accounts of
most destructive freshets throughout the
Mississippi Valley. The streams that take
their rise in the Alleghanies have overfown
their banks, sweeping off and destroying life
and property. The damages sustained in
Tennessee and other Western States, are
frightful.
At Chattanooga, on the 18th, the water
was from twelve to twenty feet deep in the
City. Many houses were topping over, and
some were floating away. Many lives were
lost, and the City was well nigh destroyed.
The Mayor was exerting himself to procure
food for the people, many of whom had lost
all they had.
Twenty-seven lives were lost at Helena,
Arkansas, mostly colored people.
twenty-five dead bodies were seen float
ing down the river, on the 18th, at Bridge
port. Alabama.
Considerable portions of Arkansas were
overlooked, and there is great loss of proper
ty and suffering among the people.

Woman has ever been a ministering
angel by the bedside of the sick and

stituted her the mother and the nurse
of our race, it is peculiarly meet that
she should have free access to the best
sources of desirable knowledge medical

ADVANTAGES OF LATINA very good
member of the General Assembly of Rhode
Island once moved to translate all the Latin
phrases in the statute so that the common
people could understand them. The exui-
site folly of such a measure was by no means
obvious to the great body Of the Assembly.
1t was quite as likely to pass as not. a
good solid argument against it would prob
ably have carried it through. The late Mr..
Opdike took the ground that it was no adj
vantage to have the people understand the
laws. They were not afraid OF anything
which they understood. 1t was these Latin
words that they were afraid of. Mr..
Speaker, there was man in South Kings
town about twenty years ago, a perfect nui-
sance, and nobody knew how to get rid of
him. One day he was hocing corn and he
saw the sheriff coming with a paper, and he
asked what it was. Now if he had told
him it was writ what would he have cared ?
But he told him it was a capias ad satiyaci-
endum, and the man dropped his hoe and
ran, and has not been heard of since" Nor
has the proposition to translate the Latin
words in the statutes

BE Kind to the Freedmen.

No matter from what standpoint we
view the present condition of those who
were formerly our bondmen, and oul
changed relations with them, we arc
bound by all the motives which impel
action, to be kind to the freedmen, and
to do all in our power to improve, ad'
vance, and elevate them intellectually
and morally, in order that they may
become useful and valuable citizens,
and qualified for the intelligent enjoy
ment of the new privileges with which
they have been invested, and the proper
discharge of the new duties these
privileges involve.
By act of Congress the former slave
has been made the full equal, political
ly, of the late owner-been made full
grown citizen. AS such, he must be
recognized, and as such, he must be
treated, for, under the supreme law OF
the land, none have superior or higher
rights.
But this is not the consideration
which should actuate us. We should
be moved by nobler and more elevated
and elevating motives; and we feel and
know that, with the great mass OF our
people, these will be the governing
principles of our conduct toward this
class of our population.
Without any agency of'theirs, and al
most without wishing the boon, they
have been made free. During the later
period of their servitude they not only
did not take advantage of our then
weakness and strike for themselves;
but plowed our fields, made and hus-
banded our crops, took care OF our
property, and even, in some cases, de-
Tended their then masters and mis-
tresses. For all of this, we owe them
debt of gratitude which can be paid,
and paid without any loss of selfrespect,
by treating them with the utmost kind
ness, and convincing them we are re-
ally their truest friends. And to whom
should they look with more certainty
of sympathy, and aid, and receiving in
struction, than to those with whom they
grew up IN the most intimate relations,
and who, though they claimed the pro-
duct of their labor, always provided for
their wants, and exercised over them the
tenderest and most watchful care :?
And why should not the former owner
still care for those who, though now
free, once so faithfully served, so sim
cerely respected, and in many cases re-
ally so loved him and his? Who so
we'll understands his nature and his
wants, or how to show the kindness to
which the Freedmen, rs class are so
susceptible, which they so heartily APP
preciate, as those who nurtured them
in infancy, and so tenderly cared for
and protected them in old age? Sure
ly, the dictates Of humanity, of former
ties, of Christian duty, and of calm rea-
son, and even cold, calculating selfish
ness, all demand that, to "be kind to
the Freedmen is a requirement of our
situation we may not and should not
neglect. Let us be kind to the Freed
men.--4tlaot0 Era.

The Vote by BALLOT.

The Senate of the United States having
voted down, on the 14th, Mr. brakes propo-
sition to take the sense of the people of the
rebel States as to whether they will call Con-
ventions, that gentleman next proposed that
the said States should conduct all their cleo
tions by secret ballot. The first proposition
was voted down, but the second was not dis
posed of before the Senate adjourned over
to yesterday.
The proposition to take the sense of the
people on the subject of Conventions seems
to us unnecessary. It is settled that the
States will return to the Union, and to effect
this, Conventions are indispensable. If
there be but five thousand loyal voters in
State, it is their right and duty to restore
the State to the Union. So faras North Caro-
lima is concerned, Senators need not indulge
apprehensions. There is no good reason
why they should keep her out under the
Sherman act. If admitted under this act,
she will be more reliable Republican State
than New Hampshire or Connecticut.
The question of the mode of voting might
also be left to the States. We prefer the Sc
cret ballot. The pressure of the landholders
on their tenants will be considerable, and
the tenant ought to be armed with the secret
ballot, so as to protect himself against this
influence. This State has heretofore had the
closed ticket in all elections by the people,
and the u,rd goce in elections by the Lcgsla-
ture.s In 1864, when the great struggle for
the Union was going on in this State, Gov.
Vance, the Davis candidate for Governor,
caused his tickets to be prepared of yellow
paper, so as to spot and put in the army all
who voted tickets of a different color In
this way, under the immense pressure of the
State and Confederate despotisms, he obtain
cd ten thousand of his votes and silenced
ten thousand more There ought to be
law in this State requiring all tickets to be
white, and making it an indictablc offence to
print them of any other color.
