at the Inland Navigation Company, with
the Stcamcy pamasotka left piialka on

a fresh army of New England "school

the persuasive cloquencc of these enter
prising virgins fails 10 accomplish this,
then John Chinaman is hopclessly lost,
and can never enter into the particular
fold set apart for righteous minded New
Englandcrs. All this is very pleasant for
the Southern people. Some persons
might say that the South can protect its
own interests, and regulate its own la
Dor system without the interference OF
Massachusetts. But it would be grave
error to even suppose the possibility of
such a thing. In Massachusetts is To-

the Union on the basis of baked beans,

and has not yet concluded its labors in
that direction. When it does "hnish'

! Gen. II. MORGAN has letter in the
Albany NearS, on the situation in Geor-
gia, the pith and marrow of which is
embraced in the following extract:
"The present Legislature never will
rcscat the negroes, nor will it pass the
10Th amendment. These arc settled
facts. For myself, have been a sub
missionist as long as intend to be, and
gone as far as intend to 60, to crafty
the unhallowed will and domincering
spirit of corrupt Congress. The more
VIC yield. the more Congress demands.
If there is no sovereignty left in the
Statc-if we are to have TO rights only
as Congress, in its hate and malice, sees
proper to exc them out to us, the sooner
we know the truth, the better"
GEORGIA IN CoNGRESS.-A spe cial
dispatch Of The Sth, to the Charleston
News says:
The Georgia Conservatives are making
efforts to counteract bullock 5 represent
atoms regarding that State, and have
furnished records showing Joe Browns
inconsistency on the eligibility question.
One to the Chronicle & Sentinel of the
same date, says;
There has evidently taken place a
change in the tactics of The leaders of The
extremists, with regard to Congressional
action on the affairs of the State. 1t was
beloved that in view of the rccommen-
dation made by the President on this
subject in his message, that one of the
first measures passed by Congress would
be an act providing for second and
more thorough Reconstruction of the State.
To-day, however, there seems TO be a
prospect that legislation on this matter
will not be as hurried as it was at first
anticipated, but will be delayed little
at all events.
