| The Washington correspondent Of the
New York Herald, writing ea,the 18th sac
II am informed that General Schofeld, in
his interview with the President the day be-
fore yesterday, gave good deal ofinforma-
ton relative to the arming of the blacks in
his district. The General stated that the
negroes we're pretty generally armed, and
that the whites in this respect were at a
great disadvantage. The propriety oftaking
some measures to prevent dangerous use
by the blacks OF their superiority in arms
and organization was discussed, and it is
probable that some plan will be agreed upon
when the General returns here from his Wis
it to New York. General Schofeld is said
to be of the opinion that the Convention
business in Virginia will prove complete
failure"

what Should the South DO?

The National Iatelligencer of Saturday
has an interesting editorial, from which We
take the following:
tWhatever may he the ultimate Judgment
of the people Of the old free States on this
subject, it is very certain that Ito immediate
relief from the imposition Of negro suffrage
upon the southern States can be expected.
.What, then, it is asked. can citizens Of
the South do in their present situation (? From
what quarter can they expect early relief?
Not from the United States Senate, for that
body will remain Radical for four years, and
resist the repeal of modification of the recon-
struction acts. The House of Representa-
tives may be Democratic Or Conservative in
the next Congress through the elections in
the States now represented. But if the Rad
icals bring into the House, as they say they
will, fifty Radical negro representatives, they
will still maintain majority.
"The only salvation for the South and the
whole country is to be found in the possible
chance that the southern people will reject
constitutions fixing upon them and upon the
whole Union the despotic rule Of the Radical
party through the establishment Of negro
supremacy.
tits absurd to suppose that Congress, in
this case, will revert to positive measures
to confscation, Acknowledgement, &c. The
people viii not tolerate this"
An argument has been published in the
National Intclligencer, which is said to be
tjrsn the pei Of Attorney General Stanbery,
constitutiohality Of the July
session Of Congress, and also Of the contin-
ued sessirn which is to begin next week -
He takes the ground that new Congress
cannot legally convene before the first Mon
day in December, except by virtue of a call
from tie President. The Attorney-Ge General
contends. therefore, that the last Congress
had no authority to pass the act converting
the present Congress in extra session If
that be true, it follows that the whole recon
struction work Of the extra session is null
and void, that the work of the session which
is to commence next week will likewise be a
nullity, and that the establishment of the
Southern military districts, and all that has
been done under their auspices, will be of no
avail. Richmond Whig

Though We have often heard of the large
annual emigration of German settlers to
America. we have not yet heard much Of the
emigration of American settlers to Germany
but it is constantly going on. The expense
of living up to the fashionable level in large
American cities has become so great thai
men with moderate incomes and families to
educate and marry caIluuC stand it, Iney
have found out that living and education ii
Germany cost far less than in the United
States cities, and are settling in many Of The
continental towns, butespecially in Stuttgart.
where, late American visitor informs us,
his countrymen greatly outnumber the En-
glish residents, and have nearly driven them

Inc next DAY was Clear and Mr. Moon
made arrangements for eight Of his neigh
bors to surround the house about half al
hour after the moon went down, which it
did that night about Il o'clock. IF any
one entered the house.. it was understood
that Mrs Moon, at one Of the end windows
up stairs, and one Of her sisters at the other,
we're to raise signal lights Mr.. Moon re-
tired to his chamber in his usual way, SO as
to deceive the burglar, and after locking the
door, extinguishing the light. and rustling
the bed clothes, sat with his gun in his
hand. A short time after the moon went
down, soft footsteps were heard in bis parlor,
but the wind was blowing. and the sound
might have been deceptive. His son crept
down. and peeping into the dining
saw that window had been hoisted Up
on going back and reporting, the ladies
doubted the report He went down sec
ond time, satisfied himself fully, and coming
back, it was determined he should shoot the
rogue as he went out Of the open window.
In few minutes he saw man about TWEEN
ty steps from the house and fred on him
The signal lights went up the man fell
fat and crept off At the same instant
that young Moon fired, man ran between
two Of the guards, about two hundred yards
off, on the other side Of the yard, and was
fred at by che Of them with pistol The other
guard could not FIRE for fear Of shooting one of
his companions. The next morning tracks
made BY coarse boot or shoe, were found
coursing down the hill from that point That
night the store room door was found locked, but

A 0Phunny PhcIIOw,O

Our neighbor of the Argus is downright
wag His "sarkasms" are equal to Artemus'
best 1t is wonder so brilliant an intellect
should have survived the perils of childhood and
attained full development He talks about the
express provisions of the Constitution and their
"plain" violation by radical Congress, and
when called upon to name the precise language
thus violated, he pulls up his dignity higher
than an Old-fashioned shirt-collar, and says
don't talk to me, stupid" -when anybody that
is anything denies my statement it will be
time enough to state the argument" on which
base my faith! When reminded that he has
put his foot in" and been prating about a
matter of which he evidently knows very lit
tle,-simply repeating, parrot-ike, the sayings
of larger, better-informed and therefore less
excusable Copperhead papers,-he gives his
dignity another hitch and replies: ..r.s.. BID.
The Press will pardon us for not attempting
TO reason with it in matter in which its own
assertion is made to do away with the effect of
a constitutional provision, and it is welcome
to prattle about it through as many columns as
its readers will bear with. five are in a "cor-
ner" because We do not choose to argue aues-
ton with such logician as the Press has
shown itself, so let it be. Much ADLER men
have heen in a similar position by declining
discussion.
This is the very common evasion of a weak
mind; of baffied antagonist, too proud to
acknowledge an error, too weak to "face the
music" and too full of egotism to admit that
he don't know everything. When a man is
cornered and can say nothing, he is almost
sure, if conceited, to excuse his silence on the
ground that he can't "stoop to conquer" 1t is
a convenient though ungraceful door ofescape.
No man in cause susceptible of defence, and
able to defend it, ever resorts to such door,
1t is no disgrace to be ignorant; it is mean in
one, having light, to refuse to let it shine for
the information of the ignorant. We asked for
light but received only darkness. t-.

Among the considerations which should in
fuence our citizens in voting Oh the proposal
for a loan of the city bonds in aid of the Port
land & Rochester Railroad, one of no small
Importance is this: What effect would this ad-
ditional liability have on our negotiations, now
pending, for means to aid in rebuilding the
burnt district of our city? And on our obtain
ing the large sums which are indispensable for
municipal purposes this and the coming year?
Our city bonds are now selling at 81 for 500,
and dull at that! / am aware that many per-
sons think that any amount can be obtained in
Boston on our bonds; but it is not so. The
last sales in Boston were at less than 95 for
500, and other Eastern city bonds were sold
in Boston last Saturday at less than 81 for
800. Nov suppose that only one half of the
100000 asked for by the railroad should be put
upon the market this year, with the certainty
that the remainder would be wanted the next
year, what would be the effect? especially in
connection with the pressing wants of all our
Eastern cities, who depend on Boston for aid
in building the numerous railroads projected
in our State! I could and would add more
now, but my main object is to call the atten-
ton of the thoughtful to this subject, in its
bearing on our own pressing wants. There are
other aspects of this case which should be care
fully examined before decisive action.

CLIPPED FROM THE DIARY OF TRAVELLER
OF THE INDIEs.-Last eve, as the great red sun
of the Orient cast its last keen, sweeping
glances DER its fair dominions, we sailed up
the bright, dancing waters of the "Bay of
Pleasure, called in the native tongue "Ching-
ar-ora," literal translation of which is, "Bay
of Pleasure;" and it is fairly named, for more
delightful valley than that which bounds and
bushes the gentle, gurgling waves Of the Ching
ar-ora was ne'er seen by the broad eye of the SUM-
The gentle ascent which extends far north of
the Bay is all blushing with rosy fruit, while
the great fields to the south, at first glance,
seem slightly undulating sea; but in looking
more carefully you discover this seeming ex-
panse of water to be a broad field of luxuriant
tobacco (called the Chingarora, gently waving
in the balmy breeze. The natives are tall,
naughty, noble-looking race, and are never
without the inevitable pipe, from which issues
huge columns of rich smoke; and as one peers
wisely at you, and puffs as he peers, you are
somewhat comically and forcibly reminded
that
"He who smokes thinks like philosopher"
