to the Oyster Bay, where liquor and oysters
were INDUCED In.
Two soldiers Of Dupont's battery, sitting
In the saloon, not liking the appearance OF
the marines companion, followed them from
the saloon, and they positively state that

of but was pursued by the soldiers, crying,
stop thief. Officer Duffy caught DeLyle as
he was passing and turned him over to Of
flcer Hughes. When arrested, DeLyle re-
quested the officer not to "show him up"
He Is held at the Flflh precinct station as q

Z CRUSADE.


Congressional interest in the negro is
on the wsne. The Bureau dead, there
exists no longer 8 resdy-handed machine
for the manufacture Of bogus reports OF
cruelty, neglect and ill-trestment Of the
man ard BROTHER" by the Southern
people. Newspapers and newspaper COR
respondents have exploded the "sym-
psthy dodge" Of the Norfolk and Oge-
chez troubles, and the Northern people
are settling down to 3 belief that, on the
whole, the people CT the South are as
sensible, upright, and humane, as their
neigh6ors-and perhaps a little more 80.
The leading journals Of the North, as
we have shown, are satisfied that
the negroes OF the South sre well of,
are better paid, and mora kindly
treated, than the lsborers Of any other
part Of the world. Therefore, the
grest Northern sympathy for the negro
which has, with loyalty" been the
stock in trade Of the Radical party, since
the close Of the wars fast ebbiag out.
The dear people are realizing, too, that
theft is not patriotism, and that bribery
and corruption are far from being evil
dences OF loyalty. Reason and good sense
are gradually resuming their sway, and
the country is becoming impatient Of
the delays OF Congress and the failure of
that body to prove ITSELF equal to its
Legitimate duties. Coguizant, at least, Of
some Of its deficiencies in this respect
having lost the neg-o, and the work Of
reconstruction having passed into the
hands Of "loyal" Governors like
BRowNLow and CLAYTON-leading
members OF that body, men of the cali
bre Of WILSON, OF Massachusetts,, In
looking about for fresh dust with which
to blind the people to their ~follles, have
hit upon the old snti-Masonie dodge by
which SEWARD first became notorious,
and have resolved to initiate a crusade
against Masonry and Odd Fellowship,
and all kindred secret societies. What
the n of the crusade will be has
not transrired, but if it end, as the New
York feud Of years ago is said TO have
ended, and WILSON be the victim. this
world will be one foolless and Congress be
a gamer. If it is intended, as has been
suggested, to strike the President, through
these great, good and benevolent orders,
the " game Enough the best) is certainly
not worthy the candle"

LONDON, February 6.-The Govern
ment has resolved on the abolition Of
the universally tests.
The Times denounees the Alabama
treaty, and says it is incomprehensible
and without order, and unless there wss
q secret stipulation somewhere to the
contrary, the consideration of the ques-
ton Of the recognition of the Southern
States:.as belligereRts, was plainly pro-
vided for in this treaty, and nothing was
excluded. The defects of the treaty.
have grown out Of, and are owing to the
semi-public fashion in which the nego-
tiations were conducted, bat if the
United States Senate hesitstes to ratify
the project, Eogland will not chafe. It
is desirable that the whole treaty be re-
vised and re cast, as it is nov impracti-
cable, and every claim would have to be
referred to the umpire for final decision,
and if this is a " settlement the Times
asks for a new definition of that word.

Here it is seen that in neither Alabama
nor Georgia did the crop increase one
hundred per cent, but, ia MISSISSIPPI, the
crop increased $50 per cent, and in
Louisiana more than 400 per cent.
The same statistics show, that, while
the cotton crop increased more from
1850 to 1860, in the States just South Of
Memphis, than IN any other States of
the Union, the increase was most de-
cfded in the counties Of Mississippi, Lou
isisRa, and Arkansas, embraced within
wast is known as the & cotton belt, " Of
which this " Ysz0o VaIey" " is the heart.
This Road will run through the fol-
lowing counties, which produced, in
1859. the numbsr of bales named below:
Tallahatehie, 5000 bales; Carroll,
$4,000; Holmes, 42. 900; Yszoo, $4,000;
Madison, 81 COO; Kinds, 81. 900; a total
Of go, 900.
But two counties in Louisiana, and
none in any other State, equaled the
productions of Ysz,o county. Besides
this large yield Of cotton, the counties
named above produced five and a half
million bushels Of corn, in 1859. Mem
phis does not receive one-tenth of the
cotton grown there. This road will
draw most OF that trade this way; and
it would come through Memphis in it's
transit to the Atlantic. Have our mer-
chants no interest in such a fertile re-
giOn within her reach?

PROFIT FoR TIE PLANTER.

We are every day in receipt Of letters
and information from the country that
the policy We have urged upon the
planters is, in bat few instances, tina!
which has been adopted for this year.
Instead Of putting forth their strength
and means exclusively in cotton, planters
generally will have wheat, and corn, and
Oats-some of themrye and bsrley-snd
all the vegetables under cultivation.
The results OF 1865 are an everything
example of the policy Of such 8 course.
By pursuing it, they have not only be-
come independent OF commission mer-
chants, but are sble to commence the
new year with a capital on hand sufi-
Gent for all their needs, snd supplies
and stock in abunda1ce-more than SUI
hcient for their purposes. Another such
year and Tennessee-the whole South
will be placed in a condition to assume
that independence which, before the
war, characterized her by reason
Of financial esss and the generally
industrious habits Of her people. With
money in hand, abundance of food snd
raiment, and a surplus crop, that ia the
equivalent OF gold, the people of the
South will not only be able to control
their own commercial affairs, but par
ticipate, on an independent footing, in
the general commercial affairs OF the
Union. ODr planters, by first planting
for their own immediate wants, and
raising cotton as a surplus only, may in
sure to the country what sll the poli-
ticians and Legislatures combined can
never accomplish.

Except in Dyer, where some little oppo-
