THE Forrest Register advoca-
tcs the passage of the 18th Amendment,
because it thinks the success of the
measure will spite the Yankees. It
says:
1t makes no difference to us. The
negro has already acquired the right
OF suffrage, it says. and it wants to force
on the people OF the North what the
North has already forced on TIE South.
IT there is but ono negro in New Eng
land, it wants him TO walk up to the
ballot boz, side by side with Butler and
Ranks; and If he is molested let the
United States army be sent to protect
him. 9
The Register does not seem to be
aware of the fact that five of the New
England States have long permitted
colored men to vote, while the exception
al State, Connecticut. is now wheel
Ing into the impartial suffrage line.

terrible FAMINE IN THE NORTH OF
REPRESENTATIVES by mail from the
countries on the Baltic sea tell of n ter
rlble and widely extended famine now
existing there. y letter from one of the
central district of Esthonia says that
the distress Is indescribable. From the
23rd of May to the 18th OF August, last
year, no rain feIl,a the summer crops
were scorched. Bread can now be
scarcely got, even at the most exorbi-
tant price, and, as the roads are impas-
stble by reason of the extraordinary
wet weather, no help from abroad can
reach the people. The debiliated CON
dltlon OF the population, and their herd
ing together in the larger villages in
the nope OF getting food aud shelter has
enEcndered disease, which is making
fearful ravages.
."All heart for work Is gone ont Of
the peasants" says this letter. I.Thair
once fresh and hopeful faces SHINY orlv
the darkness of despair. Children are
deserving their parents, parents their
children; some wander about the c;Iur
try, begging and plundering-olhers
flock into the towns TO swell the agsre-
gate OF want and misery already gain
cred there, and perish in scores by fam.
inc and disease. Crowds have to be
turned away for want of means to sup,
ply their need. and their imploriry
faces haunt me night and day.

This Aternoon's Ouotnti,
Emigration TO the United states.

The emigration OF Preston operatives to the
United States says the Pau Mall Gazette of April g. in
consequence of the strike, Is perhaps the wisest
movement they could have adopted. The workmen
are merely following the course of the trade. For
some years past America has required less manufac-
tured cotton OF us simply because she has manufac
tared more for herself. The figures given in Mr.
Wells report show that whereas in 1860 there were
rather less than five and quarter millions of cot
ton spindes at work, in 1868 there were seven mil
lions The Increase seems destined to become per-
manent, and operatives who can find no work in
England are likely to be in demand in the United
States. We hope the same experience will follow
the experiment to be made under the sanction of the
Admiralty The closing of two great dockyards
throws some thousands OF persons out Of employ
ment, and picked number are to be sent away in
the vessels soon to be despatched to Canada for
troops The emgrants will probably go by prefer
TO the United States and they skilled ar
tsans, they will in all probability escape the prva-
tions which would probably await them here Already
the streets OF every large town are filled with the
or any of the colonies, it might be well to consider
the needs of the parents.

subjects were thus filled by these petty de-
linquentS. Besides the Inconvenience mentioned
by the Keepers his Honor said, the maintenance of
this class of prisoners was matter of greateXpense,
costing the City Treasury thousands OF dollars 1t
was also represented that many of these commit
ments were made principally for the purpose of
securing the payment of costs to the aldermen and
constabes. II this was true, 1t was great wrong,
requiring the speediest correction Therefore he
would request the Grand Jury to visit the prison,

A Wilmington Sensation.

At a late hour on Sunday night last, as a young
lady, residing about three miles from the Rising Sun
Hotel in Christana Hundred, Delaware, was walking
on the railroad track on her way home about half q
mile above the City Railroad Depot, Wilmington, she
was stopped by two negroes who had suddenly
emerged from the woods directly in front OF her.
One of them seized her by the and attempted to
drag her into the woods, when she commenced
screaming, which no doubt prevented the villain
rom Gonsummating his diabolical purpose; She was
then thrown forc6y to the ground and while one OF
the negroes held his hand tightly on her mouth TO
prevent her making any noise the other pnioned her
hands and feet, and while they carrying her 10

man fortunately made his appearance, when the ne
groes dropped their victim. took TO their wagon and

The Annexation Fever Spreading Effect Of
Summers speech.
Correspondence from Montreal (Canada) to the
N Y. Tribune says
The desire Of the people OF the New Dominion to
cut loose from their dependence upon the mother
country has received powerful impetus from one
or two recent events and, whatever course may
finally be adopted there can be little doubt that u
great political change OF some sort Is not far distant
Several private meetings of influential persons have
recently been held here for the purpose consider
ing the great question OF change In the form OF gov
ernment, and the general dissatisfaction with the
present state OF things s more and more openly eX-
pressed. The newspapers are at last beginning TO
meet the question face to face, and giving utterance
TO the sentiment which has long been widely dinused
among the people, though few had courage to eX-
press il publicly. There Is party in favor OF inde-
pendence; but larger party, believe, aims AT an
neXation TO the United States, and will make
itself prominent. The acquisition OF the Hudson
Bay Territory has given additional force the argu-
ments OF the anneXat0nsts, and IL il felt that such
magnificent domain as the New Dominion now
promises TO be ought no longer TO be dwarfed and
kent down by dependence on transatlantic govern
ment The proposal that Great Britain shall surren-
der her North American possessions as a set-oli
against the Alabama claims has created "A deep sem
sation in certain circles and not few regard II with
