to stand perpcndcularly, the truck, as it
arrives beneath the car, catches it and car

truck of course sips past it. and the car
stops. a spiral spring attached to the
iiange prevents Gny unpleasant shock ut

combination Of iron and wood, the fango

by the passage Of the cars, while the motion
will bo delightfully."- easy. The company

that United States Attorney General Evarts
has issued instructions to all the District
Attorneys in the United States, ordering
them to discontinue proceedings against
"nll persons accused of reasonable offences
for acts committed during the late rebel
hon." This, of course, covers the case of

INTERESTING FROM CUDA.-Cable de-
spatches from Havana state that Gen. Dulce
has issued an amnesty proclamation, which
releases all political prisoners, terminates all
trials for political Offences now in progress,
and holds out unconditional pardon to all
insurgents who lay down their arms within
forty days In the meantime we learn that
the 1nsurrectionists were closely pressing
the siege of Neuvitas, and that tho garrison
had turned one Of the churches into for
tress. A detachment, sent by land for tho
relief of the garrison, was defeated by the
insurgents who, it seems, have no artillery.
but are well supplied with Spencer rifles.
1t thus appears that Cen Dulce's path in
the 'ever faithful isle" is not strewn with
roses, however amiable and pacificatory he
may personally be. The isle may be "eyer
falthfur'-but to whom? That is question
the future will solve.

What Cheer Brings tho New Year.

What Cheer Brings tho New Year.
The ianitor of the year looks at us with
various expressions in his various faces.
Pity, hope, endurance, pass over them, but,
like our own fate nothing is fixed save an
unquiet peering into futurity to ask if it
holds grace in store for us. Yet, why should
this be SO? We have much to regret but
also much to encourage, as the Now Orleans
Times truthfully asserts. We have fertile
lands and genial climate; we have indus
trious men and helpful women, and with all
these we have strong faith in the revela-
tions of II well plowed furrow. 1. will not
matter much who is President, if we make
good crops this year. We want wealth back
again to a ruined country, aud in its suite
when did success fail to follow? Agricul-
ture is an important question at all times
and among all nations. With us, it is of
paramount Importance, for it is upou its
recuperative principles that we rest our
hopes Of the Reinstatement of old privi-
leges, and a release from pressing difficulties
Now that the political campaign is over, we
believe there is a general inclination to turn
from the impracticable to something which
promises certain and speedy results We
must eat, drink and be clad, wag the world
rs it ray. The politics Of the closet can
wait, whilst the labor Of the fields demands
Immediate action. In view of the compara-
tive success of last year, we presume the
great staples, sugar., corn and cotton, will
meet with much attention. Large crops
will be the object of those who can hire
sufficient number of laborers, while the
small farming system, which works brayely,
will content moderate desires There was
much complaint last year among the small
farmers, that the market was glutted with
produce, which reduced the prices, and en-
tailed much loss. The cause of that is
easily found in the pressure Of tho times,
which required sacrifices for immediate ne
cessitics. All rushed their crops in ut the
same time. Those who were able to hold
back realized their fullest expectations in
the advanced prices they secured. We arc
fully of opinion that what the new year
brings us, remnins with onr own efforts
We have ceased, perhaps, to pine over the
prosperity OF the past; but we have not
ceased to despond over the uncertainty of
the future. Weak hands droop listlessly
down, and feeble knees give way under a
pressure of difficulties, but the strong and
stout-hearted only grow the stronger for the
impcdiments in their path Within the last
year. the soil has yielded us living, but we
now crave greater results The bountiful
bosom of orr mother Outnra vial1, -,
abundance i'll no niggard measure, but we
arc no longer satisfied with the mere sup
port of life. We want the golden tide of
prosperity once more to lavo our shores,
and, God willing, we will not have long to
wait

IMPORTANT II TRUE-Thc statement of
our special telegraphic correspondent at
Atlanta, of the rumor prevalent there that
letters had been received from Washington,
to the effect that Gen. Grant advises the
members of our Legislature to adjourn until
after the inauguration of his administration.
If true, is the most significant and, to us.
hopeful, indication of the probable speedy
realization of the force OF the General i
oracular declaration Let lis have pence, e"
which we have yet been able to discover.
1t IS quite clear to our own mind that his
desire for postponcmcnt Of any further
action of our Legislature is based upon the
idea that nothing more is necessary to be
done To eutltlc thp State to its full and con
plete powers as q member of the Union
and equal in all respects with those known
and designated i'll tho iorgon Of The day as
loyal States"
In this view nj the situation. wc wonil hc
Sratificd to see the Legislature adopt the
course he indicntcs although we expressed
the opinion that Self-rcspect and Il decent
regard for the honor and feelings of their
constituents required the Legislature to
proceed with the regular business, OF the
session without regard to the wishes Of
radical Congressman or the effect which
such Legislation might have upon the action
of Congress- II, however, Gen Grant in
timates wish that all legislation be- sus
pended until he gets the machinery Of his
administration in good working order we
believe that members will best consult the
wishes of their constituents by prompt
and cheerful compliance with such request
We take much encouragement from this
reported desire of Gen. Graut. and believe.
that ii his wishes are cheerfuliy and gene
rously complied WITH it will go fur to
strengthen him i'll what we believe to be
his earnest desirethc restoration of cor.

NEGRO MESSENGERS IN THE TREASURY De
pARrMENr.-The attempt made by the Sec
rotary of the Uniied States Treasury TO
effect a slight change in the Department by
discharging number of the negro messen-
gers who have enjoyed the advantage of
office for many years, and filling the vacan-
cles thus created with ex x.sodiers, who have
rendered the country good service in the
field. The Secretary, after much delbera-
ton and inquiry, issued an order discharg-
ing about II dozen of these sable mercuries;
and, in so doing, he brought down about
his ears large-sized hornets nest, in the
shape of an avalanche of paper remon-
strnnces from the heads of the bureaus
VIII ch had thus been deprived of their mes
sengers. The written protests not appear
ing to have tho desired effect of procuring
recession of the order. the illustrious
heads waited upon the Secretary in body
and stated that it was impossible for them
10 conduct the business of their offices
without their colored messengers. They
succeeded In convincing the Secretary that
negro messenger was as necessary to the
correct transaction of Government business
IN their respective bureaus as was the head
of the bureau himself, it seems; for the
Secretary took everything back, negro mes.
sengers included.
