We have valued friend, now somewhat
beyond the age people call the prime Of
life, who is . philosopher: none Of your
charlatans; but q genuine philosopher.
He is profoundly versed in knowledge,
natural and moral. But he is not practi-
cal-not very. He is one of the purest of
men--one Of the most honest and the most
kind-hearted Of men; and his very know
ledge of the causes and their effects in the
economy of mankind keep him very un-
happy. His latest cause of disturbance Is
the partial manner in which the economy
Of life operates. Why is it, says he tha'
one man pays with the labor OF an houf
another mans labor for ten hours or twenty
four hours? This he considers all wrong,
and growing out of the swindling nature oil

views. and listen attentively to his indig-
nant comments. We can, however, give
him no consolation, save to refer him to the

The Spring Elections.


II will be seen that General SCHoFIELD
has suspended the municipal elections OF
Fredericksburg. We suppose the elections
in other towns will be suspended for the
same reasons which governed him in the
case of fredericksburg. The general
elections in spring for Governor, &C., Legis-
iators and Congressman, will no doubt be
postponed for even stronger reasons than
apply to the towns.
The clothing of the negro with the cleo
tive franchise is so great q step towards
his elevation, that even Congress seems to
consider that it must be done with some
degree of system, as much to protect him
as the community. The registry IS con-
sidered an essential part of the system Of
the franchise. In their new relations the
freedmen are not very easily placed,
whether we consider residence or name.
The great body of them have had no sir
name until since the fall of the Confede-
racy, and they are not very well known by
names they may have since adopted. To
begin with voting just as they are, with
no registry and no clear understanding as
TO who and where they are, would very
much confuse the matter of voting and Of
protecting the elections from frauds not
10 much to be feared from the freedman
as from his vicious advisers.
TO regulate these matters requires time
and care, and General SoHoFIELD, being
Irregular army officer, knows how impor-
tant system is for the preservation Of har-
mony and security in political affairs.
The Legislature that is pointed out in
the Sherman bill to act upon the constitu-
tional amendment, &C., Is required to be
elected under the amended constitution.

Of the General Assembly until the Consti.

ment as to the time the Governor, &C.. and

The Chronicle and the Bee.

The ingenious editor of the Charlottes-
vile Chronicle has in these "parlous
times" turned his attention to that gentle
theme of domestic economy, the Bee. Two
entertaining chapters has he given to his
readers upon this insect, the type of in
dustry the world over. The study of the
Bee is delightful one for that picturesque
village, at the foot of the mountains.
Where could be more happy home for the
Beef Where could he find more album
dant supply of food
We find the editor of the Chronicle much
taken with the Italian Bee-an insect we
have read of but have never seen. We
have been taught to consider him greatly
superior to our own. Are there any in
Charlottesville ? If so we hope they may
be cultivated carefully and distributed
freely.
But has our friend himself ever cult
waited the Bee? The Chronicle has its
honey, and whether from Mount Hymettus
or Monticello, it is always very pure; but
has its editor really nurtured, and raised,
and tended the Bee? Did he ever come
to the conclusion that he had gotten into
the good graces of that dear little insect,
and proceeding to handle him with all the
gentleness and delicacy of a maiden, receive
two several stings at time and one on
the probocis at that? and sting there SO
disfgures the facial angles Did he ever

Bee from that detestable, dusky, dusty

self rewarded on opening the hive with
mass of filthy web, dead bees, black trash
of eaten comb, and number of fat, nasty
worms, just putting on their wings to go
forth to new depredations How like an
ultra Radical that wretch is! How with
his destructive movements he saps the
fruits of industry, and with his tenacious
web paralyses the energies and destroys
the life Of labor?
When our friend of the Chronicle takes
the degree of Bee cultivator we shall ex-
pect even better essay than any he has
yet put forth. If he would tell us Of the
moth, and how to circumvent him, that
would be good. The moth proof hive we
have heard of, but never seen. We begin
to think it is as easy to shut out the moth
as the Radicals.

WAIT AND SEE.-The New York Times
throws out the following hints, which are
not untimely in this latitude:
"These wait-and-seeites,' as our corre-
spondent styles them, are only hurting
themselves by their sullen inactivity. Ac-
ton will be taken under the act Of Con-
gress. The loyal whites and the enfran-
chised blacks will take steps to elect dele
gates to q constitutional convention, under
the direction of the Military Governor.
The delegates will be elected, the conyen-
ton will meet, and State constitution
will be framed and adopted. If the dis
loyal whites do not choose to exercise the
power left to them, they merely leave the
whole field open to the rest of the inhabi-
tants, who will thus be enabled the more tho
roughly to have their own way. In fact,
the practical effect of the do-nothing policy
is precisely what Congress sought to bring
about by the Louisiana bill. The blacks
and loyal whites are admitted to the ballot,
while all others are disfranchised."
