A9-- The Louisiana "registration'' under Sheri dan shows S9,O00 negroes to 43,000 white men!- Sentinel, Aug. 9.
 There are more negroes registered n Loaisiaao than there are negroes of al ages and seres ia Nt entire iStdte, which exhibits the ability of General Sheridan in a new light. No wonder that the Rad. icals want to impeach the President for removing him.--Sentine., Sept. 27.
 The exact number of negroes registered in Louisiana is 62,865. According to the census of 1860, the number of "negroes ot all ages and sexes in Louisiana was then 35O,373.
 The statement, therefore, with which the latter extract commences, is an outrageous blunder, and one for which the editor o the Sentinel is the less excusable from the fact of his having formerly been resident of Louisiana himself. We hope to see i corrected forthwith

gST The Sentinel takes our statement, g. week since that 1t is the natural channel of Episcopal news. in high dudgeon. Our contemporary wishes it distinctly under stood that it is not an Episcopal organ.
 We take great pleasure in endorsing this statement, chiefly on account of the wor- thy Christian denomination which it strikes us is the real party aggrived, if any,
 What we did state is an undeniabie fact. easily explained: Most of the Episcopal churches in this county were founded by Democrats, who, at time when Congrega- tional ministers were denouncing their prominent men and measures from the pull pit, left that church. Even now, unless we are mistaken, the Episcopal congrega- tions in agricultural districts are composed ! mainly of Democrats some cases entire ly so. The members of the Congregational church are, on the other hand, as far as our observation goes, mainly Republican. As natural consequence the communica- tions of Episcopalians in this county are generally sent to the Sentinel, the paper that circulates most largely among them those of Congregationalists to lis or to the Eerol9.
