MIR. EDrroR:-The Sentinel publishes 8 long article from the N. Y. Nation against P. T. Barnum. Doubtless there is per sonal enemy of Barnum's on the editorial staff of the Nation. When the Museum was burnt the Nation then came outagainst Barnum and rejoiced at the destruction of the Museum, and did all it could to prevent his efforts at establishing another, hoped some one else would then give the public a museum as is amuseum" and in every way it (the Nation) sought to depreciate and be- little MT.

Universal Suffraea

There has been great change in North ern opinion within the past year relative to the necessity of immediate universal sui frage at the South. When the 39th Con- gress finished its first session, last summer, few of us thought universal negro suffrage desirable. Impartial Suffrage was general ly supposed to be the safest mode of sol wing the great question of the proper treat ment of the negro race; and this measure we thought would be secured indirectly by the adoption of the Constitutional Amend ments. Since that time the New Orleans Massacre, the scornful rejection of the Amendments, and the unanimous declara- tions of our officers at the South, conserva- ti~u. +a.~asa1- they are, have convinced Nor thern Union men that they must go to the root of the matter, and give Southern ne- groes full civil and political rights, or the abolition of slavery will only be half &C., complshed, the Union only half restored.
 On the one hand we find the bitter, un- compromising disloyalty of the aristocracy, so crippled, indeed, that it can no longer injure us, here; but powerful enough to continue at the South the old tyranny of caste and of treason. On the other hand, we find great class just emerging, ignorant and debased, from slavery, but willing to work and steadfastly loyal; who can only help us and themselves by being given the suffrage unrestricted by property or educa- tional qualifications. Most, even of those classed as Conservative Republicans have at last become convinced that
 unfit as such class may be for government, they will, when armed with the ballot, prove the greatest and the only possible restraint on disloyalty in the very regions where disloyalty is most dan gerous. They have become convinced, too, that such restraint has become absolute " necessary; and that strong as the cen tral authority now is, it cannot afford to sanction State governments which enfran- chise all who fought against us, and dis franchise all who fought for us. Those of us also who believe that Universal suffrage is the necessary outcome of American in- stitutions, have become thoroughly con- vinced of the impolicy of avoiding an issue, which, in another generation, would al- most certainly prove bloody one, but which may now be settled without blow
 b9r We see that the South is at last wa king up to the necessity of Reconstruction. We have news of large meeting of freed men held in Columbia, s. C., on Monday, which was addressed by Gen. Wade Hamp- ton and other prominent South Carolini- ans This is one of the most favorable signs of the times. If Southern whites will only grant negroes full civil and polit- ical rights, there will be no conflict of races, and intelligence will naturally take the lead; but if ''White mans tickets are nominated, they will necessarily drive eve " negro into opposition to them.

She makes them speak when she 10 still
They laugh, they dance, they mock, they play,

Sweet lurlng eyes be still, be still
Ny eyes are only grey.
Ny rival has black lustrous hair; -

And prisons hearts in meshes rare,
With wlfal ringlets straying down
Ny hair Is only brown.
Ny rival has dazzling grace,
And witchng ways to win her will;
She meets the world with sweet, bright face
Yet only seems to work it Ill;
But ah! with such dazzling graceI
While am shy aud still.
When the knight comes the chevalier,
The one that's worshipped of US two,
He meets her jest with merrier jest,
Gives glove or flower at her behest,
Somewhat more cold than others do.
Then me comes straight unto.
He says my hair is soft bright brown,
he says my eyes are honest grey,
And in his own, sweet love leaps high,
/ am his darling, onlyI,
Whom some day he will bear away,
And pass my rival by.
