A WONDERFUL sTORY,

The following wonderful story is said
to have been taken from the logbook Of a
vessel which arrived in New York:
In the course of the voyage, that dread.
ful disease, ship fever, broke out among
the crew. One of the sailors, among
the first victims, was accompanied by his
son, lad Of fourteen years, who was
strongly attached to his father, and re-
manned with him day and night, and new
er could oe persuaded to leave him for =
moment. l
A large shark was seen every day fol-
lowing the vessel, evidently for the pur.
pose of derouring any one who should
die and be committed to the deep.
After INJECTING few days, the sailor
died. AS was the custom at sea, he was
sewed up in blanket, and for the pur.
pose of sinking him, an old griudsttons
and carpenters ak were put in with
him. The very impressive service Of
the Episcopal Church was then read, and
the body committed to the deep.
The poor boy, who had watched the
proceedings closely, plunged in after his
father, when the enormous shark swal.
lowed them both. The second day af.
ter this dreadful scene, as the shark con.
tinued to follow the vessel-tor there
we're others sick in the ship-one Of the
sailors proposed as they had a shark
hook on board, to make an effort to take
him.
They fastened the hook TO a long rope,
and batting it with piece ofpork, throw
it into the sea, and the shark instantly
swallowed it. Having thus hooked him,
by means of windlass they hoisted him
on board. After he was dead they pre-
pared to open him, when one of the sail.
ors, STOPPING down for that purpose, sud-
denly paused, and after listening a few
moments, declared most solemly he heard
low cultural sound, which appeared to
proceed from tie shark. The sailors, af-
ter enjoying hearty laugh at his ex.
pense, proceeded to listen for themselves,
when they were compelled to admit they
heard similar sound. They then pro.
ceedcd to open the shark when the mys.
terry was explained.
1t appears that the sailor was not
dead, but in trance; and his son on
making this discovery when inside the
shark, had, by means of a knife, ripped
open the blanket, Having thus libera-
ted bis father, they both went to work
and righted up the old grindstone-the
boy was turning, the father was holding
on to the old ship carpenters AK, sharp
ening it for the purpose of cutting their
way out oftheir Jonah like prison, which
occasioned the noise heard BY the sailors.
As it was the hottest season of the year,
ard very little air stirring where they
were at work, they were both sweating
tremendously.

soon as possible, is general throughout the
Southern States. In short, we may say that
the work goes on bravely since the Souther-
ners have learned wisdom through their suf-
ferings and from recognizing the fact that they
are utterly helpless and in the power of
Congress.
But great and surprising as is the revolution
which has been effected and which is now
going on in the South there is much to be
done yet and many things to be avoided The
South has always been afflicted by a set of
small, narrow minded politicians, bummers,
and long haired, brainless and sophomorcal
young men of the press. These men, like all
men of small mental calibre, are very fussy
noisy, impudent, and irrepressible II will be
difficult to keep them in the background, but
they must be kept there or they will prove
very mischievous, and may retard the good
work so happily begun. Let the southern
people, white and black, ignore these pestilent
and noisy agitators, and trust in such men as
Wade Hampton, Lee, Longstreet and others
like them. AT the same time they should give
the cold shoulder to the craol-brained and
equally pestilent emissaries of the New Eng
land radicals; for these will be sure to SOW
dlscord and hatred between the negroes and
whites. By all means let them avoid the
radical parsons and strong-minded women of
the East who will spread over the country
locusts to devour their substance and pro
duce mischief.
Looking to the future, and to harmonzing
the North and South, making us one people
again in heart as well as in ouT political rela-
tions, the Southerners should at once adopt a
ticket for the next Presidential term. General
U. s. Grant and General Robert Il. Lee should
be that ticket, and it should be at the head of
all their newspapers, and inscribed every
where. Independent of the excellence and
popularity of this ticket, it would operate as a
splendid flank movement upon the politicians,
and would give to the South powerful infu-
ence. We advise the Southerners, too, to carry
out the ideas of the radicals to the fullest extent,
and push the revolution these radicals inau-
gurated to the utmost limit. In doing this, they
should send a large delegation of negroes to
Congress. If taken in proportion to the black
and white population, the negro representatives
would constitute nearly half the number Of
members entitled to seats in Congress from the
South. This could be easily done, and there
are plenty of negroes ambitious and sensible
enough to seize the opportunity. And why
not Only let these members of Congress be
bona tide Southern negroes, and not newly inn
ported ones from the North. This would pro
duce an extraordinary effect upon the North
A wonderful reaction would take place here
The radicals themselves would swallow theil
own dOgmas and theories, and we should see
the greatest agitation and the most surprising
sOmersaults among the politicians. Such are
the phases, features, and probabilities of recon
struction, and we commend every politician
who wants to be up to the times to study then
carefully.

From the Times.

Ine miSs1sD1ppt LeVees-NeceBStGY OF
National Help.
From the Times
The spring floods are spreading devastation
in districts already dispirited and poverty
stricken. The despatch we published on We'd
nesday from New Orleans tells the beginning
of the pitiful story. The feeble attempts that
have been made to repair the Louisiana levees
have proved inadequate, and the richest re-
gion of that productive State is now under
water-whole parishes rendered useless for
the season, themoney expended in their Guilt
vation lost, and thousands of freedmen de-
pIived of the labor ON which they relied for
the years subsistence. OF the extent of the
calamity we can yet form but an imperfect
conception. For while the despatch speaks
only of isolated breaks and a-partial overflow,
there are reasons for apprehending much
wider desolation. An article from the New
Orleans Times of Thursday last describes the
levees generally as insufficient for the emer-
gency. Not only are they everywhere lacking
in solidity and height, but the flood they
should stem, besides being month earlier
than usual promises to be of almost unprece-
dented magnitude.
Before the war private associations of plan
ters, sustained in some cases by the credit of
their States, served to reclaim and protect the
choicest sugar and cotton-growing lands of the
South. Military necessity led to the cutting
OF the levees at various points. Time, and a
succession Of floods, have aggravated the de-

| Let us have a republic in which all men are
| equal before the law
The impeachment of the President-whioh
ought to have taken the place of the adjourn
ment of Congress-now hangs fire on account
of unexpected opposition to the measure by a
| bevy of Presidential candidates. IL cannot be
| denied that the deserved elevation of Mr.
Wade to the presidency of the Senate has
| proved a check upon the impeachment of Mr.
| Johnson. For Mr.. Wade, in case of the Presi-
dents removal, would temporarily succeed to
the vacant office; that is, he would be the
! acting President of the United States until
! the nomination and election of new Presi-
| dent. OF course, his chances of becoming the
new President would be greater than any
other mans. Accordingly, every other can
didate is afraid of impeaching Andrew john
! son, because Mr.. Johnson's removal would
make Mr.. Wade the acting, and probably
the actual, President. l have been surprised
to notice that so many of the popular favor
ties of the Republican party-the magnates
here in Washington-are candidates for the
next Presidency. This ambition crops out in
their conversation. True they always allude
to the subject deity and silly; nevertheless,
they never fail to allude to it, sooner or later
believe that man cannot spend day in
| Washington, in confidential intercourse with
the leaders of the Republican party, without
seeing that a dozen or twenty of the most dis
tinguished of these gentlemen are setting
themselves forward, either prudently or inn
prudently, for the Presidential succession. l
do not complain because these men want the
honor of that high Office. But object to their
conniving at the retention of Andrew Johnson
in his present chair for the sake of advancing
their own chances of sitting in it. 1t is of more
importance, just now, to get rid of one Presi-
dent than to think of making another
1t gives me delight to mention that my
friend the negro is in fine spirits in Washing
toni bile is going to win the approaching
municipal eleotion--to be held next June.
This foreshadowed fact makes many of his
most respectable white fellow -creatures-old
residents of that city-very blue. Accord
ingly, when friend of mine came here day
or two ago to deliver a lecture on '"rhe Cor
ner-Stone of Reconstruction, three fashion
| able Washington churches, in solemn success
sion, refused to grant the use of their edifces
to man who was to advocate negro suffrage.
But the sstone which the church trustees of
| Washington have to-day rejected is to become
in six weeks the head of the corner. This is
revenge.

except to say that Congress having adjourned,

] departing members. One cannot always
travel in good company.
