THR RosHCRANs MISSION AND MANIPEsro.
ten Rosecrans reached Washington last night
from the White Sulphur Springs. He says
that his visit was satisfactory, that the temper
aud tone of the Southerners were worthy OF
patriotic appreciation, but that there is no au-
thority for the statement that he intends to is.
sue an address signed by those with whom he
has been in conference. As his visit was for
the purpose Of ascertainIng for himself their
feelings and views, he does not know that any
publication from him will be required or
may become necessary. The propriety OF any
such course rests exclusively with himself
His positive denial that he has brought with
him a manifesto from the Southern leaders at
the White Sulphur Springs, together with his
lnumatlons that he may publish a statement
with regard to his conversations on political
subjects with them, are regarded as an iudica.
ton that there was some hitch about agreeing
upon the substance and form Of the proposed
address, or getting the desired signatures to il
The whole upshot Of the matter, aud all the
private information received, confirm the be.
lief that the most important political subjects
under consideration at the White Sulphur con-
feTences Were connected with the conduct of
the campaign in the reconstructed and unre-
constructed States.

THE NEGRO EQUALITY QUESTION IN THE
GEORGIA LKGIsLATURR.-In the House of As.
sembly Of Georgia yesterday the resolution to
unseat negroes was resumed. The chair de.
clded that each negro shall have 4 hearing by
himself, or by attorney. Mr.. Bryant made
speech OF two hours. He said that man is a n in.
fidel who does not see the hand Of Providence
in the affairs OF this nation during the past
seven years. Men who praie of negro supe-
riority and supremacy show they are afraid
four millions of negroes will control thirty-six
millions of whites, and are not deserving Ar.
glo-Saxon blood. They who say our ances.
tors fought TO make this white mans Gov.
eminent belle history. They fought to est iblls
an sylum for the oppressed of every nation.
He said the Declaration of Independence was
contract with the Almighty, and he who de.
nies that II refers to the negro as free and 60 ua
is an infidel. Where the Declaration says,
''we, the people," it means negroes well as
whites: and il is surprising that Irishmen,
coming from land of oppression, are first 10
JOIN ia the howl of down with the negro He
said that il negroes were ineligible, no laws ell
acted were legal. To turn out these men is
revolution. When Governor Brown decided
that these people had no right 20 hold office il
was the great mistake OF his life. We want no
such Republican in the party. II the negroes
are unseated we will appeal from tie House 10
the people. We are nearing a terrible abyss
Let the people pause before they take the leap.
Persons who are melting negro instructions
mistake their bravery. They are tho brave
men OF the country who stand firm and fight

THE SKrTKMBHR SEssIoN.-Senator Morgan
Is now here. In conference with Commissioner
Rollins and other Republicans the question Of

though it has been agreed tnat the matter
should be left open as yet, the opinion is quite
decided that no call for q session at that time
will be issued. Should a session for any rea-
son be called, 1t will probably be simply with
view 10 take another recess until October,
and not for legislation. II Is the opinion that
il is too late for an attempt to distribute arms,
authorize militia organizations, or any other
legislation to effect any practical purpose.
Senator Morgan having conferred with vari-

Canton, Ohio, has curious sensation.
The Stark county Democrat says it is en-
undisputed fact that a young lady aged
sixteen years, named Anna Brown, re-
siding in Canton, has snake in her
stomach, Its head has been seen in her
mouth number of times by many peo.

twenty or thirty, when for brief time it
was out as far as the lips. The attending
physician was about to grasp it, when
movement ofthe girl, who was in spasm,
prevented, and the opportunity was lost.
The doctor thinks it is ofthe tape species,
and very long, probably twenty yards.
The girl, for some seven years, has been
afflicted with spasms of a severe eharac-
ter. By laying the hands on her stom-
ach at times, its terrible motions and
contortions can be easily felt. The
head of the snake or worm is quite black.
