-Of the Radicals elected to the Virginia Con,
vention twenty-five are negroes; o majority OF
them very ignorant, and some of them notorious
criminals. That Is q fair specimen of the sort Of
Republican government for which the Radicals
are SO loudly camoring.
-Advices from Washington purporting to be
reliable, State that the Government will be ready
to proceed with the trial of Jefferson Davis on the
25th. Both sides desire that Chief Justice Chase
shall preside with Judge Underwood, and it is
therefore possible that it may be postponed short
time, to enable Judge Chase to make his arrange
ments to preside.
"A private letter from Glasgow says that, al
though the price of cotton is nearly as low as it
was before the war, there is no demand for goods,
and the manufacturers are as badly off for orders
and the operators for work, as they were in 1857.
he adds: 'There is more starvation in Glasgow
and its neghborhood just now than at any time for
ten years past" ....
"A Radical spread eagle orator, who recently
addressed a meeting in New York State, wanted
wings to fly to every village and hamlet in this
broad land there to tell the story of Andrew John
sons perfdity to the Republican party He wilt
sang out: 'sDry up, you old fool you'd be shot
for goose before you flew mile.
The Augusta Chronicle says: 'sWe heard
yesterday that number Of colored men, working
on plantations owned by gentlemen here declined
showed their yvvd 'u-nu. m not participating in
contest which is destructive of the best interests of
both races. To their credit be it said this action
was Of their voluntary accord. ..,
The Augusta Chronicle has election returns
from all the counties In Georgia. except twelve, on
the question of Convention, which show that s,
POI votes more than half of the registered voters,
were polled. The returns show that but very
few whites voted. In the Districts having negro
majorities, the white delegates elected are mainly
Yankee emmissaries and Freedmen's Bureau off,
cials.
The statements recently published giving
the number of colored pupils attending school
throughout the country are incorrect, making the
ponnhor 02Q 000 rnoro thon fhoro roollv Ton
Howard says the corrected number, as reported to
him officially and unof6cally, is 100000 distribu-
ted as follows: In regular schools at the South,
100000; in plantation and family schools, 100000;
in schools at the North, 100000. -
"A negro doctor, heretofore stationed in
Fredericksburg, left there Saturday with white
Bureau school marm under his charge The wo-
man was put into the ladies' car, and the darkey
attempted to follow her. The conductor refused
him admittance. when the Doctor quietly susided
and went into the negro Car. What the ''Buroo"
joins together, conductors ought not to put asun-
der!
In Kansas and Minnesota, at the late eec-
tons, the proposition to allow negroes to vote was
submitted to the people, and it was rejected by a
large majority. There are but few negroes iReith-
er State and they were born free, yet these North
ern people will not let them vote, but their Repre-
sentatives in Congress want to force the Southern
white people to put themselves under negro rule
almost entirely. Great hypocrisy and inconsisten-
cy.
1t is understood that strong effort will be
made on the assembling of Congress- to repeal the
tax on cotton. The New England manufacturers
are said to favor the repeal and their voice is all
powerful in Congress nowadays There is every
probability that the tax will be reduced more than
one-haE, if not absolutely withdrawn. Its effect
upon the planting interests tend to cripple it, es-
pecialy during the present condition of affairs at
the South, growing out of the total overflow of
the labor system.
Brownlow is elected to the United States
Senate, and will make fair representative of all
that is bad in our body polite: We should like to
hope, but cannot, that attaining this once high
position, he will use the fading energies left him
by expiring nature, to do some good, (if good
can come out of evil, before he is gathered to his
Father-the King Of Piutonian Shadows" He in
tends to be the "Governor of Tennessee" until his
term OF Senator commences, in lS6S.-Menphis
Avalanche.
"A Radical meeting was held in Richmond
few days ago, at which Louis Lindsay, colored
delegate elect to the Convention, made a speech.
Aluding to the discharge Of negroes for voting the
dren should suffer for food, the streets of Rich
mond should run knee deep in blood Hethanked
God the negroes had learned to use swords and
guns" All efforts of the more peaceable negroes
to stop these demonstrations were wildly voted
down. The citizens here are apprehensive of trou-
bic.

started IN April 1861, from New Orleans as a
private in the Chasseurs Pied, and, being dis
charged for sickness at Richmond, in October off
