We have the pleasure of seeing in the City,
Mr.. Thomas W. Conway, of New York, form
erly Commissioner of the Freedman's Bureau
of the State of Louisiana. Mr.. Conway is
an eminent Republican, and true friend to
the colored man. We welcome all such pa
triots to our midst.
Mr.. Conway has recently addressed the
people of Richmond and Petersburg with
great acceptability to his hearers. The
Washington Chronicle says of him, "he is
world famed for his benevolence and devo-

Tennessee.

The Conservatives, so-called, of the South
answer to the Copperheads of the North
They are one and the same. The former are
for the most part ex-rebels, and the latter
hung on th e flank of the government during
the rebellion, and greatly embarrassed 1t IN
its efforts TO save the Union. Put such peo-
Dle in mower. and all the fruits of Union
victories would be lost, and the colored peo-
pie would soon be reduced again substanti-
ally to a state of slavery.
The true men of Tennessee, headed by
Gov. Brow.nlow-that glorious old patriot
are vexed, as we are in this State with these
pestilent Conservatives. There was Con-
vention, so-called, of these malcontents and
sore-heads, at Nashville on the 10th, at which
Emerson Etheridge was nominated for Gov
ernor. A. great to-do was made over the
colored eople who would attend this Con,
vention, but after much drumming and dec
larations of glove" for the negro, only sia
colored delegates were present! Oh my
country! Only sir! Such indifference by
the colored people to these ex-rebels who
Glove" them so much, is calculated to disgust
all such disciples as Brother Pell with the
work of sef-government. But, as is usual
the fewe the colored people the greater the
treason manifested by those present. The
papers tate that
"While the resolutions were being drafted
speeches were made by Mr.. Dorsey B. Thorn
as, Colo mel Cameron, and colored man from
Pennsyl vania, named Joe Williams.
The peeches by the white men were vic
lent upon the Radical party, North ant
South, and Colonel Cameron stigmatized th'
Union OILERS who were now in the Radica
party a 5 Abolition thieves. He said that tn
Radical party was full of infamy, and til
late Confederates full of excellence, whicl
made the infamy OF the Radicals more hid
eous. These remarks were loudly cheered.
The negro Williams declared that he wa
afraid of assassination by the Radicals, an
claimed the protection of the civilize
world"
This colored man, Joe Williams, entere
the Union army and deserted. One of tn
officers OF his regiment exposes him in
card in Brownlow's Wing.
Tenn .ssee will no doubt go radical by a
| immenas majority. So mote it be.

How RAIN FALLs.-Whcrc does the rain
come from You answer, - From the clouds -
But where do the clouds come from You
may think the wind blows them over you.-
But if it blows over you from somewhere
else, it also blows them from over you to
other places. The fact is, the water Of the
clouds is just as much over you on clear
day as on cloudy or rainy day On fair
day, when no clouds are seen, the water is
divided up into such small particles that it
does not obstruct the suns light, and so you
see no clouds or water A change of tenn
perature in the atmosphere, as when a war
mer or colder current of air meet, causes the
small particles Of water to unite in pairs
and the pairs unite, and these quadruple
drops unite, and SO on, until hundreds or
thousands of the small invisible particles
unite in one, and even that one may be MANY
hundred times smaller than pins head. A
mass of these combined drops which are still
small enough to float in the air, reflects re-
tracts, or bends out of their course so many
of the suns rays that they stop and often
darken its light. 1t is thus that clouds gather
i'll clear sky. When enough drops unite
to make one too heavy to float in the air, it
begins to fall. 1t meets and unites with
many Others in falling, and often so manv
unite that great rain drops are formed by
the time they get to the ground. Each large
drop is made up of thousands, perhaps mill
ions Of the small drops that float in the un-
seen air in clear sky.

THE RULING POWERS OF THE FU-
TUEE.-Senator Sherman, en- route for
Europe, made a speech in New York,
last week, in which he gave utterancc
to the following opinion
In my judgement recent events Gle
monstrate beyond doubt that there arc
two great nations now looming up to
dispute the future history of the world,
and they are Prussia and America
France will doubtless be always brave
and potent, and will probably control a
large portion of Southwestern Europe,
and Great Britain will maintain for Il
long time its old influence I; but Prussia
is to be the great European Power ofthe
future.

An Illustration of the way in which
the Colored People are going to vote.
The following passage occurred between
a rebel preacher, DR.. Burrows, and the COL
ored people. in the meeting recently held in
Richmond, Va, by the Conservatives or
oligarchs with the hope of influencing the
colored vote. A friend who was present as
sures us that the report below is correct
DR.. Burrows tested the colored people of
Richmond, and found them unanimously
against him:
Rev. DR.. Burrows, formerly of Connecti-
cut, but now and for the past fifteen wears a
bitter advocate of slavery, had the most un-
happy experience of all. He made the clos
ing speech, in the course of which the fol-
lowing occurred:
Twill you vote for me 2" asked Mr. Bur-
rows.
"No; never" said the colored men.
"Will you vote for Mr.. Mcfarland 2"
"No." said the colored men.
"Will you vote for my friend, Mr.. John
son 2" he continued.
eve won't" was the reply.
"Well, then, will you vote as ask you to
vote 2" said the doctor.
Never" answered the good loyalists.
"Will you vote as Mr. Mcfarland, or Mr..
johnson, or Mr.. Daniel wants you to 2n he
again inquired
We will not" was the response from the
entire colored audience.
| Here the doctor seemed to lose his heart,
and he backed down as if out of breath
He gathered strength and said:
Perhaps put the question wrong; I'll
now ask you, will you vote as any man wants
you?"
"We'll vote for our rights" was there
ply.
The doctor was glad to bring his remarks
to a close in haste.

Disastrous FLOOD ON THE EASTERN
SuoRE-CHINGoTE ISLAND SUB
MERGED.-To-day will be presented to
the General Assembly the petition OF
citizens of Chingoteague Island, Acco-
mac county, Virginia, asking to be re-
lieved from the payment Of the oyster
tax, in consequence OF their great losses
of property by Il recent flood.
Chingoteague Island is sand bank
i'll the Atlantic, lying east and forming
part of Accomac county. 1t is from
three to four miles wide, and about twen-
tyfour miles in nlength. Its Inhabitants,
who number five or six hundred, sub
sist chiefly 10y fishing and taking oys-
ters. Their property consists of their
houses small lots of land, and OF cattle
Among the cattle may be classed rare
and valuable, though very diminutive
breed of ponies, descended from the
Barb, and for which the Island had be-
came famous. In consequence of heavy
and continuous easterly gales, the tides
on the 22d and 23d Of last month rose
to an unprecedented height, and swept
entirely over every part Of the Island,
drowning all the ponies, COWS and sheep,
and obliging the inhabitants to seek
safety in boats. We are glad to learn
from Colonel Kellam, the Intelligent
delegate from Accomac, that none of the
people were drowned, all reaching the
main land in safety. The ponies We're
well nigh exterminated, only five or six
being left. The loss Of the inhabitants
in cattle, and in damage done to other
property by the inundation, is estimat-
ed at one hundred thousand dollars

The Richmond Examiner, referring to the
late Republican Convention in Richmond,
says:
1--WE shall. of course, give faithful re-
port of the proceedings, for it behooves us
to know the plans Of the enemy, in order
that we may the more inteligently combat
his dark. reasonable. revolutionary and dis
organizing designs and save the State from
the horrors of organized anarchy"
Here it is assumed that those who are en-
gagged in carrying out the Sherman act are
enemies to the country, and that their de-
signs are reasonable and revolutionary
We have no doubt the Examiner really
thinks so.
The rebel papers of Richmsnd gave pretty
full reports of the Convention, but in doing
so they omitted nothing calculated to bring
ridcule on it. They put broken and imper-
feet language in the mouths of the colored
speakers, thus taunting them with the igno-
rance which is the result of their former
condition of slavery Among other things
Rev. George Williams, colored. who opened
the proceedings with prayer, is ridiculed be-
cause he sprayed acith his eyes openi" Many
a one has gone to torment with his eyes shut.
As further specimen of the unfairness
with which the colored people are treated,
we copy the folling telegraphic dispatch
which we find in the papers:
LARGE MEETING OF NEGRoEs-INFLAMMA-
TORY SPEECHES.
MOBILE. April 1S.-There was a large
meeting of the negroes last night, 5000 being
present. Inflammatory radical speeches were
made bv both black and white speakers.
Resolutions were adopted affiliating with
the radical party, and demanding the right
to sit on juries, hold office and ride in the
cars The meeting adjourned at a late hour
Most of the colored persons present were
armed and great many shots were fired in
the air after adjournment
Here it is assumed, because the colored
people meet to assert their rights, that their
conduct is inhammatory." The meeting,
which was no doubt orderly, as all the col
ored meetings are, is characterized as violent
and dangerous. This is by the ASSOCIATED
Press" as it is called, which is under the ex-
elusive control of the rebels.
The colored people will see from all this,
as from every thing taking place around
them, that the only safe place for them is in
the Republican party, under the old flag
The man who calls himself Conservative
or Democrat or who refuses to admit that
he is a Republican, is an enemy to the color
ed people.

The Meeting Yesterday.

The meeting of colored people in this City
yesterday, called by Gov. WORTH Mr.. Pell
and others, was a palpable failure. About
three hundred persons were present, and, as
the sequal showed, they were all Republicans
Speeches were made by Mr.. Gales, Mr.
Battle, and Gov. Worth. They were listen
ed to respectfully, but there was no sign of
approval of what they said The getters-up
of the meeting could induce no colored man
to act as Chairman or Secretary and no COL
ored man was present who claimed or adj
mitted that he had any hand in calling the
meeting.
1t was the most palpable egregious, not to
say ridiculous failure that ever occurred in the
State. The predominant feeling in the crowd
was rather that of pity than any thing else
for Gov Worth and his friends.
After the rebel or Conservative meeting
was over, calls were made for Mr. James H.
Harris, James F. Taylor and James Jones.
They spoke to an applauding audience, and
announced themselves Republicans. Mr..
Taylor called on the Republicans in the
crowd to show their hands by lifting them
above their heads and the hands of the entire
mass of coored people were at once en-
Enthusiastically raised.
So much for this insidious rebel attempt
to divide and control the colored vote, and
thus defeat the work of reconstruction.
A fuller account of this meeting in our
next 1t was called as Conservative meet
ing, but adjourned as loyal, enthusiastic
Republican meeting.
