GRIM STATISTICS We learn from the Charles
ton Mercuay that General Howard's official re-
port, which we have not seen, states the de-
crease of the negro population of the South, to
have been ], 3OS, 900 since their emancipation
IF these figures represent the real mortality a.
mong our colored citizens, it requires little pro-
phetic power to foretell what the fate of the
whole race will be, unless they improve their
condition.
This awful loss is attributed to casualties of
war, epidemic diseases, intemperance, and reck-
less living.
We trust these grim statistics will not be lost
upon the thoughtful and intelligent freedman.
Bayne, Henson and that class should devote
their talents to the moral improvement of their
people and we hope they will at once attack
and resolution.

we'll as at. a large fire. The other said, II new

many degrees to the northward, where it was
SO cold that it froze our words in our mouths SO

We have seen in our time many obitu-
aries, but never before one like the fol-
loving from the La Crosse Damocraf;
Major General Curtis, Of Iowa, is dead.
There is not much TO say. of him except
that he was Republican politician like
Washburn, greatly oyerrated as a states
man or soldier, but good man for that
party. As q bnsiness man he was success.
hl. He was kind as a neighbor, good
friend when It was for his interest to be
one He went into the war, as he told a
distinguished Senator now living, to
make money enough to pay q five thcus-
and dollar mortgage on his farm, ana ms
military career was splendid success
in that respect. He was clear-headed,
firm in his opinions, and strategist
who believed the best way TO conquer
an enemy was to draw out their cotton
rather than their ERE, and to place
his troops in advance OF the males
belonging to his enemy, rather than
behind them. He has, We trust,
gone to reap his reward for his devo-
ton TO his principles, with Brown,
Lane, Lincoln and the other Repub-
lican martyrs Of the nineteenth century.
His initials we have forgotten or we
should give them here, but he was Gen.
eral Curtis, from Iowa. Green and
quickly grow the sod over him and all

Beauregard's Speech.

At Canton, Miss., the Congressional
excursionists were met by Gen. Beaure-
gard and others Of distinction. OF the
speech of that great soldier, the New
York Herald says;
Standing npoa ground still moist with
fraterpal blood, he tells the National
Legislators that the South has thrown
behind her forever the doetrnes and
principles for which she fought so long
and 50 obstinately. He tells them he
expresses the sentiments Of the fighting
men Of the South when be says that be
favors consolidated Government;
that the doctrine Of State Rights is bu-
ried opt OF sight, and that slavery can
aever be re established. even II the power
10 DO so existed. General Beauregard is
incapable Of practising a petty deceit,
and what be seys may be relied on. He
is, moreover, immensely popular at the
South, and as good a mouth-piece tor
those who recognize his leadership
as any man from the Po3omae to the
Rio Grande. We ksos that his speech
made uost favorable impression
upon those TO whom he addressed
Il, and that with the echo Of bis last vsrd
there arose in their minds feelings Of
conhdence and reassurance. To this
Senator Wade besTs testimony. Taking,
then, he character Of the speaker into
consideration We must believe that the
majority Of the people Of the South, the
sense and siHeg 81 that section, are de-
sirous Of peace al concord, and en-
