In d lloa condition in those States
where he has been free over half 10
century. Indeed, the policy OF. those
States has been to rid themselves Of
the colored man. The statute books

that laws have been passed to his dis
advantage. Many of those States

to be his peculiar friends. Even the
proclamation which lie now celebrates
was not intended as "a boon to him,

elected, that slavery in the United
States should not be interfered with.
Since the'war what has been done to

The plain English is that England,
Spain, France and Portugal have
made, in times past, millions of dol
lars by the trade in the colored man,
and their example has been followed
by the States which have cried out
against the South, and now both the
white and colored man of the South

neither must look for aid save to God

forgotten the ties of affection which
bound their hearts in childhood to
their old colored nurses, and those
black boys with whom they sported
on the green, and however much
they may now be looked upon as po-
litical foes, or political tools. the
voice from the West calling the black
man "beast! soulless brute!' cannot
awaken any genuine, rational sympa-
thy in the South. We agree with
the Richmond Dispatch, in its able
review of recent silly work which
attempts to prove that the negro is q
soulless beast, "that the Southern
people and the Southern press owe it
to themselves and to the world-to
their self-respect and to their reputa-
tion for intelligence and humanity
to repudiate and disown such weak
and false pretences as those which
have been put forth by tAriel.
Such allies impair, instead of adding

EPIPHANY, OR TWELFTH DAY.AThe
9th of January is called Twelfth Day,

The primitive Christians celebrated
the Feast of the Nativity for twelve
days, observing the first and last days
with great solemnity. Twelfth Day,
also called cold Christmas" was at
one time festival inferior only to
Christmas; and in England several
old customs are still observed. The
observance of the day is now confined
to the Catholics and Episcopalians.

The New York Herald asserts that
the radicals at Washington are
obviously alarmed. Messrs. Po;ne-
roy, of New York, Washburne, of
Indiana, and Cullom, of Illinois. left
the national capital on the I'd of
January and hurried to Richmond.
Their object was to address the Vir-
ginia Reconstruction Convention,
and enlighten that body on the poll
tical topics Of the day, especially on
the subject. OF negro reconstruction.
Ben. Butler himself proposes to
start for Richmond, on a crusade in
the same direction. His main object
is, it is said, to edify the colored race
in their new and important position
in Southern politics, rather than to
attempt the hopeless task of controll-
ing the movements Of the Southern
whites. Ben. Butler has not decided
to extend his tour to the other South
ern States, although he has not aban-
doned his designs upon the leader
ship of the black voters of the South.

"King Cotton" has received a
heavy blow and great discourage
ment in the New World latterly, and
some people are of opinion that he
may as well abdicate. A discovery
has lately been made in Missouri
which seems to offer q substitute for
the cotton plant. The new plant is
called the ransie, which gives fine
fibre of great strength and glossy
white, and it may be used for cloth
or combined with silk or wool. It is
not affected by heavy rains, and en-
dures heat as we'll as cotton. 1t
yields 800 pounds per acre, and gives
two crops in the year. The Mexi-
cans grow it with great success,
where the rain is much more preva-
lent than in our Southern States.
