FORTRESS MONROE, April 25.-Senatol
Wilson arrived by special boat from
Norfolk this morning, and was received
by General Burton in the fort, and a
lutte of" eleven guns fired. He ad-
dressed large audience of white and
colored, proportionatcly mixed, at But
Ter School-house, near Hampton. lie
urged the colorcd people to vote for the
party which was founded on humanity and
equal rights to all. They were to assist
the Republicans North by modifying the
State Constitution and securing the pro-
lection of their rights. He impressed upon
them the necessity of education and IN
dustry.
With them, he said, depended the sue
cess Of the election for a convention and
the Republican party in Virginia. He re-
garded Mr.. Johnson as the sole cause OF
the unsettled condition of the country,
speaking forcibly against his policy, and
reminding them of their former slave state,
trusting the future would be fraught with
far more glorious aspirations. There
would be no impeachment to southern repre-
scntation in Congress if they elected Union
men. He would leave Virginia with the
full conviction that Republican Governor,
Legislature, and two senators, would be
elected. He was frequently interrupted
by applause.
Senator Wilson proceeds to North Caro-
lima this afternoon for the purpose Of speak
ing at Ncwbern and Wilmington.

FRENCH lRON-CLADS IN ACTIVE Con-
sTRuCTIoN FOR ARNING.-By special cor
respondence from Cherhourg, France, we
learn that the Emperor Napoleon is busily
engaged in periecting the development OF
his fleet ofiron-clads in that port, the work
being carried on with that ceaSeless ac-
tivity which we lately reported as being
applied in the same direction in the naval
station at Rochefort. Four iron-clad war
steamers-a ram, a siXteen-gun frlgate OF
four thousand tons burden and peculiar
build, with two corvettes-are in course OF
construction at Cherbourg, and an impera-
tive order from the Minister of Marine for
their speedy completion has caused the
workmen TO "swarm like ants" in the
shops and on the grounds. The corvettes
are destined for great speed, and each OF
the four vessels is to be furnished with an
iron spur. A large and swift army trans
port is also on the stocks for rapid finish.
Napoleon's anxiety to insure the perfect
organization of great iron-clad fleet be-
fore the close of the present year not only
indicates resolution to 60 to war, but re-
veals also determination to fight, if posi-
BILE, only when he is prepared. Should he
be permitted to use his own time, II is
quite likely that he will use his new and i'm
mense naval power to blockade the ports
OF Germany, and thus-the London Times
appears to lear-intlict damaging loss on
the trade of England while battling with
her ancient allies on the continent.-Ne,c

Another AtrociouS Murder I'm Phiia.
aclpllia.

PHILADELPHIA, April %. About 2
O'Clock this afternoon, Mrs. Magilton, aged
>.N.y-two years, was found murdered at
her residence. Her throat was cut with a
razor. and seven confused wounds were on
her head, inflicted with hammer, which
was left beside her. Information was first
given 10 the husband OF the deceased by
George Wiuucmorc, who was taken into
custody on suspicion. Wimcmore was a
friend Of the family, and had taken tea
with the old couple, who lived alone, the
previous evening. Nothing was missed
from the house, and it is not known what
could have prompted the murder.
The razor has been identified as the pro
party Of Wiuncmore. 1t is supposed that
the unexpected return of the husband pre-.
vented Wiuuem0rc from plundering the
lnu>r.
WIuromore was a soldier in the late
war. and was in debt to the tavern-kecpel
where ho boarded. He was anxious TO OBJ
tain money TO cmigrate to Montana.

THE GREAT CRIsIs.-However unwill
ing we may be-and we are most unwill-
ing--to acknowledge the possibility that
Europe may be once more convulsed by a
war between the Latin and the Teuton
races, we cannot conceal from ourselves
that the position of affairs is extremely
critical. Petty and trivial as this Luxem-
bourg question is in itself, it appeals to
those national iealousies and susceptible
ties which, to far greater degree than the
ambition of rival dynasties, have been the
cause of the great wars that from time to
time have devastated the continent. We
cannot wonder if the Germans view the
annexation of Luxembourg by France as a
national disgrace. Telegraph.

THE SENTIMENTS OF THE NORTHERN
PEoPLE.-Thc proprietor of this paper has
lust returned from a visit to the North and
eastward. The sentiment which every
where greeted us was to the effect that the
northern masses regard the reconstruction
act as tinality, and that upon the accept
ance of its provisions by the South, re-
admission to Congress would follow. Bust
ness men said 10 us that contiScation would
not he resorted to, but that the North
earnestly desired the building up of the
South and our consequent prosperity. As
surances were freely offered that upon the
rehabilitation of the States capital and i'm
migration would flow in upon us If we
would take some pains to open channels for
both. In a word, we felt satisfied that the
temper of the northern mind, which on
our visit in November last we found at
white heat, had now cooled to degree
which assures us that reconstruction under
the military act is meant in good faith by
the people, however it may have been in
tended by the party Observation-Disclosures

The Alexandria State Journal, Radical
journal, misrepresents the meaning of a
sentence which recently appeared in the
Dispatch, but more than atoncs for the fault
by making the following appeal for south
ern orphans:
SOUTHERN ORPHANS AssOCIATIoN.-The
Book of Books says "Charity never
faileth," and in faith of that blessed as
surancc, certain large-hearted men and
women have been moved to appeal to the
American public for aid in behalf of those
little ones in the South who have been
doomed to orphanage by the calamities of
the late war. These persons have been in
corporated by our own Legislature; have
received the sanction of the Government
by remission of all revenue fees; the
Common Council of Richmond have agreed
TO donate at least ten acres of land as an
inducement to have the institution located
there; and now the managers, through the
medium Of Grand Charitable Presenta-
ton Concert, solicit substantial aid from
the public, as will be seen by their adj
vertisement in another column, to enable
them to carry out the enterprise. In
vincible as is our opposition to the cause
which has made so many fatherless chill
dren in the South, we should be ashamed
of our own heart if it inclined to cherish
the slightest trace of bitterness against
the innocents; nay more, if it did not
prompt us to say and do as much as in us
lay to succor and relieve them. If there
is a Heaven-ordained object of charity on
earth, it is poor, moaning orphan child ;
and when its little hand is extended, and
its tender voice is heard in piteous quest
for relief, as they are in this grand scheme,
he or she must be made to differ pitifully
from his kind who will not respond.

The Georgia and Mississippi Injunc-
ton Case.

The Georgia and MISSISSIPPI ln1unc-
ton Case.
WASHINGTON, April 26.-The Supreme
Court bench was full to-day. Many dis
tnguished lawyers were present.
Mr.. Stanbery opened by promising that
he would treat the question in its legal
aspect. The political questions dividing
the country were not to be discussed here ;
but for clear understanding of the sub
iect it was necessary to state what the acts
of Congress are of which the States COM
plain as working excessive injury to, and
deprivng them of, their constitutional
rights. He explained the reconstruction
laws, remarking that the States lately in
rebellion have no republican government
capable of congressional representation,
narrating the restrainsts demanded by the
mplainants-stopping Stanton, Grant,
and other high officers. He maintained
that this was no case provided for by
the Constitution to come before this
court. The controversy was not with
these men as citizens, but as high Off
Gals, and was not within the jurisdiction
of the court either in the reason or the
spirit of the Constitution. He dwelt upon
the damaging consequences of veto
| by judicial tribunal selected for life and
beyond the peoples control. The injuries
set forth in the complaint were only con-
tingent, and might never happen. In con-
cluson, he argued that it was political
case, durable only by political remedies.
Mr.. O'Conor followed. He said the idea
of the complaint was to show that what
was ordered to be done by Congress was,
! in length and breadth, unconstitutional
and void, and therefore the court ought
| to order an Injunction. In general
terms, the Georgia of l176 was to be
wiped out, and a new Georgia substituted.
| Georgia occupied the position of body
polite and corporate, and court of equity
could prevent and restrain any attempt to
divert the purposes of its corporation or
violation of its charter. He took issue
| with Mr.. Stanbery's assertion that the mis-
chiefs complained of were contingent, and
might never happen. The parties named
in the complaint had already taken steps
in enforcing the laws which are complained
Of as unconstitutional.
A further hearing Of the motion was
| postponed until next Friday, when Mr..
Robert j. Walker will plead in behalf OF
Mississippi, and Mr.. Stanbery will close.

upon himself to address certain married
lady an anonymous letter, which was shown
by her to her husband, who determined to
find out from whence it came. He direct

hoping by this means to entrap the writer.
The correspondence eliminated into an

proceeded at once to castigate the indi-
vidual for his assurance with well-sea-
soned hickory, and ending by cropping one
of the ears of the gay Lotnario, in order
to remind him of the Ubiquitous procedure
he had been guilty of. The injured hus-
