NEGRO SUFFRAGE.
The Alexandra, Va, Election.

WASHINGTON March 5, 1867.
The President to-day virtually com.
meDced to enforce the Military Govern.
ment Reconstruction bill. Ia view of
trouble at the Alexandra. Virginia, mu.
nicipal election, he directed Gen. Candy
to station troops in the city. 1t was ex-
pected that a riot might take place, as it
was the first election in the South since
The passage of tho bill for the more eff,
cient Government Of that section. It is
claimed by the Republicans that under
the provisions of that bill negroes have
a right to vote, and they have been urg-
ed to exercise the privilege to day. Gov
Pierpont says that under the Military
Fill, all male citizens over the age of
twenty-cne years, except those disquali>
fed, are eatitled 70 vote, and that there's
fore the colored people are undoubtedly
entitled to the elective franchise to-day.
This position of the Republicans is con-
tested by their opponents, who contend
that negroes eaIRct vote until Conven,
ton is called to reconstruct the State, and
tho Commissioners of Election find them
selves ina quandary They held meet
ing yesterday morning, at which COM
mittee was appointed to proceed immedi-
ately to Washington, and consut the a.
torrey General upon the question Of the
legality of such negro votes as may be ats
tempted to be polled to day. The Re,
publicans, in anticipation of unfavorable
action on the part Of the commissioners,
held meeting, and appointed commit.
tee of four each, two white and two black,
to take lists of such votes as the Commits
sioners may reject. Undcrthis arrange
ment over one thousand negro votes were
polled to day. without any trouble The
Attorney General declined to give his
opinion. on so short notice, and the
whole matter was laid before the Cabinet
to. day.

THE BANKRUPT BILL A LAW.
Tariff Bill Proposed bye n. Moorhead.
The President Will Send no Mes
sage to Congress.
WASHINGTON, D. G., March 4.

There we're great fears entertained this
morning that the President would not
sign the Bankrupt bill, but they were re-
moved few minutes before noon by the
announcement Of the fact that he had ap.
proved it, A pamphlet edition of the law
is to be immediately promulgated.
Mr.. Moorheaa, of Pennsylvania, asked
but iailed to obtain leave in the House
to day to Introduce thetarif bill, defeat,
ed in the Thirty Ninth Congress. AS
the objection to its introduction came
from tariff men, it is considered as sig
ni6cant of an indisposition to consider it
at this session. .,
A joint committee of the swo Houses
appointed to,day FOR that purpose, waited
upon the President this afternoon, and
informed him that the Fortieth Congress
had organized, aud was ready to receive
any message he might be pleas d to make
The President replied that he had no
communication to send in. There will
not, therefore, be any regular message, as
is usual on conzening a new Congress
The reason is apparent.

SPEAKTO HIM ABOUT HIS SOUL

At meeting for prayer and fasting
last Tuesday, brother who was, think,
the best man amongst them, made con
fession of cowardice, and we all looked
at hir and could not understand how he
could be coward, for bolder man do
not know. lie told us that there was
ran in his congregation who was a. rich
man. II he had bern poor man, he
would have spoFen to him about his soul;
but. being wealthy man, he thought it
would be Rking too much liberty. AT
last one Of the members happened to say
to him, "Mr. SO and 50, have you found a
Saviour" and bursting into tears, the
man said, Thank you for speaking to me |;
have been in distress for months and
though the minister might have spoken
to me. Oh, wish he hal; might have
found peace" | an afraid, that often
and often you good people have sinners
convinced ofsin sitting by the side of you,
and when in the place of worship, and
when the sermon is over, you ought to
get word with them--yoa mi ght be the
means of their comfort; but you forget it
and you go your way. Now, is this
thing to be forgotten. as if it were no
great offence2 Let me give you picture
which may set it forth. See yonder poor
wretchcs whose ship has gone down at the
sea; they have constructed poor, totter
ing raft, aud have been swimming on it
for days; their supply of bread and wa>
ter is exhausted, and they are famishing
they have bound hand kcrchief to pole
and hoisted it, and vessel is in sight
The captain Of the ship takes his tele-
score, lo,ks at the object, and knows that
it is a shipwrecked crew "Oh w says
he to his men, eve are in a hurry with
our cargo. we cannot stop to look after an
unknown object; it may be somebody
perishing, and it may not be, but how ever
il is net our business" and he keeps on
his course His neglect has murdered
those who died on the raft. Yours is
much the same case, only it is worse, be-
causo you deal with Immortal souls. and
he deals with bodies uhich he suffers 20
die. Oh, my brother, I do implore you
before TIE Lord, never let this sin lie at
your door again /; bat if there be ore who
is impressed aud needs a word of com.
fort, fycn the wings Of mercy to such a
soul, and help to cheer him as God ena-
bies you.-Spwgeoa.

The Decoy Which Makes Young
Men Drunkards.


Go with us to the public houses, where
number of young men are assembled
All IL life and gayety. A few among
them NAV be young and timid. They
approach the counter, and wine, rum, and
brandy are called for. One OF two stand
back, and say, no, gentlemen, We don't
drink; please excuse US. Immediately
tho rest turn and begin to taunt their
friends who refuse to drink, saying they
are afraid of getting eight" of the sold
man. aud some whisper audibly, "Well
they are mean feliows; they are afraid
they will have to spead centl" Here
you see two very sensitive nerves are
touched--Uourage aud Cleverpess. Their
bosoms swsll with pride; rather than
bear these filings of their companions,
they stand up to the counter and join in
the revelry. The ice is now broken, the
first great act of the drama performed
Others follow in natural order unti the
Individual who refused to drink at first,
reels along the ppblie street without
shame.
This is the manner in which thousands
of our promising youag men are led away
by false ambition; and thousands more
will follow in their path unless they learn
the meaning of courage.
We have in our mind a number Of no.

The Elephant as a Walker.

We have, generally found two curious
points overlooked or ignored BY writers
One is the rapid and neiseless moyements
of this animal in the thickest cover; the
other, his capabilities Of passing over
ground for him appar emily unfeasibla. -
The elastic, noiseless football Of the ele>
phant has been frequently referred to by
writer's on Indian subjects, ,and have been
rightly asserted to be the most agreeable
feature in journeying on elephant back.
This peculiarity may be easily explained
by an examination of the structure Of
the animals foot; but thesilent, stealthy
way in which he will pass through the
densest thicket,literally "slippipg away"
when his acute sense of smell or hearing
wsrn him of danger, has been generally
overlooked, and appears to us somewhat
difficult of explanation. Let any one
uuskilled in the mysteries of ''bushrang-
ing attempt to move even few PAGES
in an ordinary fox covert without noise,
and he viii form some idea of the diff
culties presented to the passage of SO
huge an animal as the elephant through
the dense, tangled underground of a South
African bush" Yet that the animal.
despite his enormous bulk, win "draw
of" when within few yards of his pur
suer, without the slightest noise, and
with the greatest rapidity, even in the
thickest cover, is uadeniable. Again
his powers og passing over difficult
ground arc often underrated even by
hunters. When experiments we're fFs
made in India in training elephants to
draw the eun, it was observed with sur,
prise that the animals power Of ascend.
ing steep and rugged ground was faI
greater than had been anticipated. The
gun, light six.pounder, with which the
trial was frst made, was drawn up slope
so steep as to require the animal to craw
upon its fore knees, which it did without
hesit tiou. On the other ham, 1hamp
cred by the gun and harness, the ele>
phant "a small female) showed unusual
dread of soft and swampy ground,

MEXICO.
Gen. Diaz Near City of Mexico.
Macmillan Defeated by Gen. Escobedo
WAsnIsGroN, March 6. 1867.

WASHINGTON, March 6, 1867.
A letter dated Vera Cruz, February
22d received at the Mexican Legation.
Washington, says Gen. Dias has thrown
part of his army between Mexico and
i'eubla, and communication is now very
irregular. For ten days psst we have re
ceiesd no mails from anywhere west of
Orisaba, The telegraph lines arc cut =
The French left Puebla on the l7th, and
arumor is in circulation that Gen. Dlaz
captured that city. The Imperialists re-
port they obtained two victories over the
Liberals, ons ae ainst Corona, at Aten>
iquique, the other against Uaravajal at
Guanajuata. Very little credit is given
to the rumors, and they arc thought to TO
circulated by the Imperialists to keep up
the spirits of their men, who are bee ON
ing mvre demoralised every day:
1t seems that on the 18th ult. Marquee
and Macmillan left the city of Mexico
for the interior with four thousand men.
The general impression i their object to
reach the coast. Others, however, be-
lisve Maximilian is going to negotiate
with Juarea, or to see whether an armis>
tice can be had, for the purpose of con,
sultiog the people. Nobody, of course, T.,
expects he will succeed in this, rs the
people have spoken, and are speaking

THE OLD JSYMPATHY A Mexico let
ter says: The Empire and Southern Con,
federacy are still hand in hand Miramou
told the gentleman at whose house he re
sided while in Zacatecas that the leaders
of the Mexican Empire still held CORES,
pondence with the secessiousts and were
working hard together for each others
interests. That letters had been ex-
changed on the subject between one of
the Ministers of Maximilian and an Ar
kansas General (Hinman or Hindmaa, 1
believe,) and that strong hopes were en-
tertained that the Confederacy and Fni-
pire might SO play the cards that both
would be success.
