A recent letter from Cincinnati, lu the New Orleans Picayune, contains the following advice to the Southern peo- pie:
 "lhey say, urge upon your people to be
 atient and calm; not to feel that the vic tory is complete yet. One little riot in the South would undo what has already been done. Let every editor make it a point to urge this in every issue That the Radicals VII use every means possible to draw you into riot you may expect; but if the people will watch them, and head them of for one year or nine mouths longer, the victory will be complete. 1 ,eel elated and know the Southern people will and am so fearful they may feel too jubilant and overdo the natter
 The New York Herald also furnishes his much on the same subject:
 Our Southern friends should not 20 of at tangent upon tie signal evidence If 3 leturnng sense of reason among the Rads- eal majerities of the North, tacy should not burrah because they are out of the woods. They should keep calm and col lected-we will not say subdued," for they have acknowledged themselves 50 req y They should not be to exult7 ant; they should utter no taunts, make no hreats, or do aught else to arouse anew the Spirit of relentless prosecution with which they have been pursued by the rad icals snce the congress- 1nal project of re- construction was first broached. The end Is not yet. Much remains to be done, and it behooves the Southern people to tax still further the measure of their patience, until the clouds that hover over hem are entirely dlspelled, and they are again blessed with serene political sky.

avalanche of invectives and denunciation

Gen. o. Brown, chief of the Freedmen's

from Norfol lkexplaining the difficulty on
the Taylor farm. The negroes have been
allowed to remain unmolested on the farm
up to this time. Taylor was pardoned
| year ago and has been trying to oust them,
but they persistently refuse to leave.
| The agent of the Freedman's Bureau ac-
companied the party from Norfolk to Tay-,
lor's farm to persuade them to leave, offer
ing them place on Gen. Wise's farm,
still in the hands of the Bureau, but they
assembled and refused to compromise, aud
declared that they could remain on the farm
and; defend what they claim to be their
rights.
Steps will be taken to ejeetthem by civil
