rhe mobile ReSnoxal..

After removing Mayor Withers,
General Swayne proceeded TO re-
organize the City Council and Board
of Aldermen of the city of Mobile.
! Among the appointments as Council
man of the Eighth Ward was Mr..
Jones. The latter, not recognizing
! the right of Swayne to remove the
! old board and appoint at will their
successors, declined to accept the
profered appointment, Whereupon
Swayne declared his intention, in a
letter to Jones, to appoint in his place
"a loyal colored man."
A portion of the colored people of
Mobile then wrote the following let
ter to General Swaync, declining, for
themselves and their colored friends
of Mobile, to receive the appoint
ment, and asking for the appoint
ment of Mr. Gideon M. Parker. We
commend not only the example of
the colored people of Mobile to their
race in this city, but take pleasure,
also, in calling special attention to the
tone and sentiments of the letter,
which We publish in full for their
benefit and instructions:
MOBILE, Ala, June 13, 1867.
Brecet Major General .S,cayne, Com
mandiny District Of Aln5dma.
GENERAL: On behalf of the colored
citizens of Mobile, the undersigned,
whilst acknowledging with gratitude
your recognition of their rights as
citizens, by offering to fill from their
number the vacancy in the Council
made by the refusal Of Mr.. Jones,
respectfully decline, for the reasons
following:
They believe that the welfare of our
city and the condition of her finances
demand that the most capable and
worthy should be selected for the
responsible positic- of member of
Council, provided he be loyal
They desire, also, to show to their
white fellow-citizens that they waive
cheerfully their claims as q class
whenever it is evident to them that
tho cause Of peace, the well-being OF
the community, of which they are no
small part, make the doing of this
| the better part.

E..oh, Sling q Ne,v song..e.

MEssRs. FpToRs: Few are aware
on how slight,a circumstance deep
emotion frequently depends. Among
the many influences which surround
us, nonelso suddenly and so power
fully affects the mind as good music.
Operatic singing i'll the house of
prayer is certainly out of place, and
decidedly Objectionable whenever
this species of music is INDUCED in;
but in our walks about places of
public worship, we have never noticed
this popularity connected with any
of the churches of this city.
Trinity Church Choir, it may be
said, is little off from the "old
paths" The classic and ecclesiasti-
cal character of some of the music
for the canticles of the church is very
beautiful, but in no way associated
with Opera 1t is to be regretted
that the melodies of the masters
such as Beethoven, Mendelsohn,
1I"uoci, 1ldS leu, NhOZurt duu OCnerS-
should be taken as operate music.
1t exhibits the musical erudition of
those who have taken upon them
selves to criticise and characterize
every graceful turn and flowing ca
dence into operate airs.
In the house of worship, we are
enloined by the great Psalmist not
only to pray, but to sing, and sing n
new song. Sing praises Justify
unto him with good courage;"
Sing with the voice of melody"
Whatever may be the motives for
going to church, let no one invade
the sacred precincts of the heart, and
question the inmates Of the sa-
cred temple If note from the
cantatrice could but awaken re-
sponsiye chord in the heart of one,
and lead his steps to within the por-
tails OF the sanctuary, let the heavenly
choirs, in their laundering halle
lujahs, sing. AMEN.

ALMOST HUNG.-The subjoined let
ter explains circumstance referred
to in the ALercuy, of Saturday, un-
der the caption of "Almost Hung"
and it is regretted that any lnisappre-
hension of the facts of the case should
have accidentally occurred:
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT S. c.,
COLUMBIA, 18th June, 1867.
To the Editors 0fMe Mercury, Chnles-
ton, S. C.
GENTLEMEN: Under your mead of
Local Affairs" in yesterdays iM1.-
cury, you state that the freedman,
John jenkins, "was almost hung,
owing to strange oversight on the
part OF Governor Orr in sending II
copy of the reprievc Of the negro,
John jenkins, to General Sickles, and
none to the sheriff OF the District. -
The facts are these: The respite for
jenkins was prepared and carried Oy
me to the post Office Tuesday night,
and handed to Mr.. Bell, one of the
clerks. The contents of the letter
were communicated to him, and he
promised to mail it so as to reach
Charleston Wednesday night, which
he doubtless did. The letter was adj
dressed to ''John j.. Carew, Esq,
Sheriff Charleston District, Charles
ton, S. c." No copy of the reprievc
was sent to General Sickles, but a
telegram was sent to him Tuesday
evening by Governor Orr, informing
him that Jenkins had been respited
until the 18th July. L have the honor
to be, very respectfully, your ODE
dient servant,
JAS. S. SIMONS,
Acting Private Secretary.

REGISTRATION IN NIIssIssIppI.-In
the interior Counties and away from
the larger towns in Mississippi, the
negroes are not registering. a letter
from Morton to the Vicksburg He
r0Gd, dated June 6, speaking OF the
disposition of the negroes in that
locality, says: "The negroes appear
to take no interest in it here. Some
even go SO far as to deny that they
are twenty-onc years old, when some
of them will hardly ever sec twenty
eight and thirty again"

The Richmond Times reports a
singular explosion of latch-key,
with which gentleman was opening
his door few days since. The report
was as loud as that made by an ordi-
nary pistol, and the force of the ex-
plosion shattered the key-ring and
scattered the keys, blowing button
off his glove and injuring his hand.
The cause assigned for the explosion
is this: The lock was Of brass, and
had been heated by the sun, and the
key being OF steel, and also heated,
had, by coming i'll contact, caused a
thcrmo-elcctric current This cur
rent often causes All explosion, the

SOUTHERN FAMINE. "A letter, dated
Atlanta, Ga, from the Rev. II. c..
Hornady, states:
Farmers come to me begging for
aid, saying that unless they can get n
few bushels OF corn they will be
obliged to abandon their crops and
sink into helpless despair. The poor
widows and orphans are in great dis
tress. Last evening, an intelligent
Christian woman told me that hel
family, all daughters, had been two
days without food, and that they had
all become i'll from fasting. There
are thousands Of women and children
to-day in her situation. Whole fami-
lies have not a bushel of corn, no
money, no credit, nothing"

COLUMBIA. !.
Thursday Morning, juno 90 1857.
Spread OF sfanufaoturing.

Weare gratifed to observe that, in
some portions of the great grain.
growing regions of the Northwest,
the subject of the establishment oi
manufactures is, at length, being
taken up by the people. With the
magnificent water-power in that Sec
tion, taken in connection with the
high bounties they have to pay to
the Eastern manufacturers, the only
wonder is that they had not embarked
in the business long ago.
1t is proposed to erect o large cot
ton factory at the falls of st. Antho-
ny, and the people of Minneapolis,
Minnesota, who have the under
taking 1nder consideration, believe
that it would be very profitable.
One of the papers say that water
power there is certainly much cheap
er than in Lowell, Lawrence and
similar places; labor is as cheap; the
cost of subsistence, in that land of
wheat, of meat and of general plenty,
would certainly be much cheaper
than in the East, where breadstuffs,
beef, pork, lard and cheese are largely
procured from the West. Why, then,
it is properly asked, should not a
yard of cotton cloth be manufactured
as cheaply there as in Lowell? We
quote from Minnesota paper:
"HThe cotton to go East is first
sent from the plantations by steamers
to- ports of shipment, and there
transferred to sailing vessels bound
to Boston, New York or Philadel-
phia, when, for use here, it would
be put on board o boat on the
lower Mississippi or tributaries, and
not again unloaded till it reached
within convenient drayage distance
OF the place of manufacture. Ger
tainly, there would be a saving on
the freight of the raw material.
The writer urges the above reasons
Cor going into the business exten-
sively. With the exception, perhaps,
that, at present, the South is not q
grain-growing region-it is improving
in that respect, however has al
the Advantages noticed above, only,
perhaps, to n greater extent. II
manufactures were established in
these States, the cotton, or the bulk
of it, could be hauled from the plnnta.
ton to the factory, or to its agent i'll
any town or city. We have abundant
water power; We can raise provisions,
and the double commissions, drayage,
wharfage and storage, which make
up long array of charges to be de-
Quoted from the amount the cotton
sold for, would be avoided.
With the South, West and North.
west engaged, even moderately, in
cotton and other manufactures, the
days of protection by high tariffs
drawbacks, &C., would be at an end.
Tho consumers, in every section OF
the country, would be relieved of q
heavy burden, and be enabled to live
in comparative comfort, as prices OF
all the articles they need would as
suredly tumble down. We hope the
good work will go on.

THE LUXEMDUEG AFFAIR. If all
the facts are considered, Napoleon
outmanmuvred Bismarck in the Lux
emburg affair. The former wishes
the Prussian troops removed from

II war upon that issue. Bismarck
wished to hold that position, and thus
menace and threaten France Napo-
leon gained his point by diplomacy,
and prevented war before he is fully
ready for all the consequences which
may flow from n collision between
France and Prussia. These are con
siderations of great Importance, and
they are all on the side Of France,

tise. If they try it regularly and

He was an honest, industrious and
