Bea-It is stated that Gen. Carl
Schurz, the talented editor of the
Daily Post, Of Detroit, has sold his
interest in that establishment, and is
going to st. Louis to take the editorial
charge ofthe Westliche Post, the Ger
man Radical daily paper of that city,
and that he will start literary week
~ paper there, to be published by the
same firm. Gen. Schurz will find a
magnificent field for his political and
journalistic talents in ST. Louis. The
German population of st. Louis and
Missouri constitutes a very large ele-
ment ofthe popular. Within circuit
of 100 miles around st. Louis there
are more than halfa million of Ger
mans, and a constant flood of emil
grants swells thier numbers. They
have nearly all attached themselves
to patty of freedom and equal rights.

a Hard Joke.

The latest, grandest joke is that
the war department formerly made
full report to Queen Victoria's gov,
eminent Of all the English and Irish
subjects Of her dominions resident
in the United States and claiming
British protection during the late
American war. Such subjects are be-
ing drafted for the British service in
Ireland and India, and The u. S. War
departments have ordered their de-
livery to man; twelve hundred
such have been already drafted.
The poor draft sneaks and deserters
are having hard time Of it--having
q0ta friend on earth nor country.

NEW 4 Ohn3 4AAesA w A0s
The Tribune's Columbia, South
Carolina correspondent, last evening,
says one of the most remarkable
meetings ever held in South Carroll
ma took place to-day, the occasion
being q celebration, by the negroes,
of the passage of the bill enfranchis-
ing the black race. By invitation,
Gen. Wade Hampton, Ex>U United
States Senator De Saussiere, Edward
Arthur, Hon W. ]. Talley and Jas.
r. Gibbs, addressed the meeting, al,
SO the Rev. David Pickett and Bev~
erly kash, both colored. Sentiments
were expressed highly honorable to
both sides. The negroes are graft
fed with the spirit Of political affili-
alton with which they have been
met, and the citizens are equally
pleased to find the colored men 'iden-
tilted with the true interests Of the
State. Should convention be call
ed the latter will probably nominate
and support the best men in the
country, and as declared by Mr.. Nash,
will urge Congress to repeal the
clause which deprives them of the
services of those in whom they have
the greatest confidence.
Theabove bit Of news is set down
as ssregarkable," but there is nothing
in it that is strange to those who
know true Southern character. Ev-
cry rebel in five years will swear
that he has negro blood in his veins
If thereby he can get into Office.
And every Northern copperhead
will swear that from the very FIRST
he favored negro suffrage. All this
show about prejudice against colo,
is not even skin deep.

Mr.. Gown: Perhaps you would
like to hear again from your some-
time correspondent.
The HERALD comes everv week.
and is as eagerly looked for as q let.
ter from home. I always read the
local items first, and then the mar
riages, afterwards the deaths. By
the way wouldn't it improve your
excellent paper to announce the
births, also? It is custom in Eng.
Gsh newspapers, and with the Spring,
field Republican, which I take. Why
shouldn't they be announced?
You have had some interesting
discussions in the HERALD OF late.-
The one on "Divine Providence" some
time since was conducted in an ad-
mirable spirit. You would crafty
us by letting the names of two such
gentlemen be known. The discuss.
ion of the "Fruit Tree" question was
very instructive, especially the letter
from GAINESVILLE giving the experience
Qfdistinguished fruit growers. That
article I Lave laid away for reference
in case hecome a resident of Wis.,

But who is x. Y. q. that threshes
your railroad men so handsomely? |
surmise that he is an old litter
But who is he? Is he a young Ivan

noticed in one of your late papers
an article headed "Strifum Ddmnunl
Argunsentuna, which is about as good
latin as Sir Thomas More puzzled the
pragmatical professor of Bruges with
"Litrum averia carncae, capita IN vetito
manic, STINT srreplegibilia." You can
ask the man who gets up the latin
for your paper to translate.
Spring election for State officers is
