FREDERICKSBURG, May 26.-The annual

Of whom we noticed Gen. r. T.. Lee.
After the services, the Council organized, but

The proverhial hospitality OF the good people
of Fredericksburg, is, can assure you, exhibit
to daa freely and generously as ever, in spite OF
the changes of the war. ..,,
The church in which the Council meets still
bears the scars of the wounds inflicted in that
terrific bombardment; and the private houses
are not without signs Of the same. The room

The Spanish Cortes is now debating the
clause in the constitution which refer 10 the
colonies Senior Castelar, said that il Spain
had followed the example of Eagland in re-
Spect to Canada, by granting the Liberties
which the colonies now claim for themselves,
the outbreak in Cuba would have been pre-
vented. Serrano replied that Dulce granted
the required liberties when he assumed charge
Of the Cuban government, but party spirit
blinded some OF the inhabitants. by demon
STATIONS OF physical force the rebellion had
been suppressed, but the moral disorder was
disappearing very slowly. When the normal
state of the island is restored the home Gov
ernmcnt, acting in conjunction with the Depu-
ties Of Cuba, will suppress slavery and punish
all persons engaged in the slave trade.
The Spanish Government will soon issue 4
decree requesting all citizens OF that country
residing in foreign countries who may own
property in Cuba to register their names with
the nearest Consul and take the oath of allie
glance to the mother country Failure to do
so will render their property liable to seizure.
An accurate classification of the members
of the new French Corps Legislatif cannot yet
be made, as all the elections have not been
decided and the returns 10 some cases are IN
complete. In fifty-nine districts the result is
so close that ballot Is necessary. vi tue
candidates whose election is sure, forty: one
were not members of the last Chamber. The
Opposition gain six new members, but lose
three old ones.
Fourteen arrests have been made at Leghorn
in connection with the attempted assassination
of Col. Granville. 1t has been ascertained
that the cause of the assault was political ami.
mostly, growing out Of the conduct Of Colonel
Grenville at the siege of Rome in lS49.

To tie Editor cCHe Alexandria Gazette:
understand that petition is in circulation
around and in the village OF Manassas, Tor q
negro man named Pinn to be appointed post
master at that place. The petition has appen,,
ded TO it the names of few black men and
some few white men, but the latter are mostly
negroes. Pinn, | believe, is hotel keeper at
Manassas, on the Richmond Maison Doree
order, and also is grocer and commission
merchant. -.
The black branch of the Radical party in this
county iii may make the dlstinctlon) held q
meeting this week to elect delegate to the
general Black convention to be convened In
Richmond; so learn by published notice OF
last week, and the meeting, according to that
notice, was called by order OF the Trustees.
A new Office in political matters! Is the Rad
ical rarty of Prince William held in trust ?
For whose benefit? Is the deed on record
Who would own debt secured (?) by a re-
corded or unrecorded pledge OF such an institu-
ton? Perhaps the blacks are held in trust
for the benefit of the white Radicals LII the
deed requires 'the party OF the other par,
to hold the blacks I'm trust" bodily, l should
hate to be 'trustee."
1t is rumored that some men have signed TINS
paper who don i even get their mail matter from
the postoffice at Manassas, and hence have DO
interest whatever in the postofhce there. Can
this be so? Surely Radical should hvac more
decency than to try to force black postmas ter on
n community of which he is not member. -
Since Grant thundered forth his election proc,
lamation the black snakes are beginning to crawl
| in this county. But when the 9th OF July
comes, 'the seed of the woman will brulse the

ADVICE TO RADICALS. Horace Greeley, in j
letter to the Wheeling Intelgencer, tenders
the following advice to the Radicals Of West
Virgins, aud asks them TO "hear him
Every year one thousand of your rebels
die; and one thousand Tor more o! their sons
become of age. You cant disiranchise them.
You have now five thousand majority. Six
years at furthest will convert this into r rebel
majority Of one thousand Then the rebels will
be enfranchiSed in spite OF you, and the blacks
will be left under foot-and you under est
mate these at two thousand.
Go your own way, and see II the rebel don t
have you under loot in less than six years.
speak from wide experience when tell
you that your house is built on the sand. 1t
cannot stand. Every year will see the passions
of the war cool, and the demand for amnesty
strengthened Now you can amnesty the rebels
Soon the question will be, Shall they amnesty
you? Look at Kentucky, and Maryland, and
read your certain fate in theirs.
Yours HORACE GREELEY.

1t any reliance is placed upon hope that
any considerable portion OF thecolored people
OF this state, will do otherwise than vote tor
the Wells ticket, and for the most ultra radical
candidates for Congress and the Legislature,
we think that idea may as well be dismissed at
once. Doubtless, in few localities, there are
some respectable and right Judging colored
men, who will not work in the traces-but, as
a general rule, it will be otherwise. This is an
opinion formed from what we hear reported,
aud what We see in the newspapers. The Con-
servatives, on that account, must only be more
determined, and earnest ia their efforts to de-
feat these Radical leagues and their allies and
coadjutors The Lynchburg Nirginian says
''from what is seenof the temper Of our colored
population, and the influence Of the loyal
leagues over their actions, we think it useless
to reason with u majority Of them. They will
hear nothing, or believe nothing, except what
is told them by their drivers AMI new consc''
ence keepers.'
