1t appears that Secretary Boutwell,,
urged on by the RAIDS, is invoking a law
of Congress passed in 1862, to stop the
introduction here of Chinese laborers.
The act, however, was only designed TO
prevent the forcible introduction of Chi
nese coolies or apprentices. 1t was fear
ed by the RAIDS, that virtual slavery might
thus be revived. Any number of Chi
nese laborers who desire to come South
may do so, without any hindrance., We
presume the indea of forcing them toeome
was never entertained by any person.

The Bitter-End Radical papers claim to
bevery anxious for the State to be admitted
into the Union. Yet. they all rejoiced over
theestablistlment of a Radical paper in Cor
inth, owned and edited by one Jones,
who does not hesitate to say that if it is
necessary for the State to remain out of
the Union for him to get the public print
ing, he wants it kept out. He recently
said to the editor Of the Corinth News,
eff we radicals ACT SMART, we can keep
Mississippi out Of the Union and under
Military rule for at least two years to
"eOme, in which case, then, papers of our
''stripe win get all the printing"
That is it, if they cannot govern the
State in the Union, they prefer for it to
remain out so that they may hold the
offices.

Prince George Coz. Maryland,
July 9th, 1863.
Every foot of territorY from Gordon

Every foot OF territory from 6ordons-
vile to Alexandra has become historic.
Here the two armies wrestled in mortal
conflict with varying fortune Here, q
little TO the right Of the Orange and Alex
andria Railroad, seven miles from Gull
pepper Court House, is SlaughteTs Noun
tain where Stonewall jackson encounter
ed the advance of Pope's army, on Its
way to Richmond, driving it back, and
following the advantage up by his memo
rabIe flank movement by which he gain
ed the rear of the federal army, captured
its supplies, and won the victory of second
Manassas
Here, too, is Brady's Station, the scene
of the victory won In fight exclusively
Of cavalry, between the Confederates
commanded by Stuart, and the Federals
who out-numbered them two to one
And here, too, is the battlefield of
MANASSAS, on which was delivered the
Arst great fight of the war. In the failure
of the Confederates to follow up this vie
tory, and strike a decisive blow at the
capital uniformed persons have found
occasion to censure Mr. Davis. He has
been charged with having prevented an
advance; and thus to have thrown away
an opportunity which might have changed
the results of the war. But the cores
pondence between himself and Gen. j.
E. Johnston is extant, showing that W hen
Mr. Davis applied to that officer to know
if his army was in a condition to pursue
the retreating army, he replied that it
was not, and that an advance was wholly
impossible. The responsibility of the
course that was determined upon, there
fore, did not attach to Mr.. Davis. In
deed, the step could not have been taken
except in opposition to the views of his
generals.
In this region, vast fields once in
high state of cultivation, are returning to
a state of nature. The negro population
has been greatly decreased; and the whites
are not in sufficient Numbers to cultivate
the lands. In consequence of the search
ty of timber, the proprietors have not
been able to re-enclose them.
In this section, as in the region known
as the Valley, crops of corn have greatly
suffered for the want of rain. The yield
of wheat, however, has been unusually
large.
Next to the battle-felds of note, the
town of Charlottesville is the most inter
esting spot along this route. 1t is the seat
of the Virginia University, of which Mr..
Jefferson was the founder, and within
few miles of Monticello, the home which
he improved and embellished, and In
which the last days of his life were spent
1t is sad reflection that it is going rap
idly to decay. Still, it is an object Of
great attraction and very many pilgrims
wend their way thither to pay grateful
homage at the shrine of the immortal
statesman, who proclaimed the imperish-
able truths of the Declaration of indie
pendence. E. B.

The conduct of Ames' appointees has
become so outrageous that we devote
special attention to them in this issue, and
give extracts from our exchanges, to show
how they are deporting themselves in the
different sections of the State.
In Choctaw county, the Sheriff is at
tempting to force the the payment of taxes
that have already been paid to the Sheriff
whom he relieved. In Issaquena county,
the courts of Justice which were once so
much respected have become a mockery
for which all have contempt. The Sher-
iff off Yallobusha, fogetting that every
citizen has right to the protection of the
laws, telegraphs to the Marshall of Holly
Springs, 'arrest NJ" and Mr.. NJ. is ar
rested. In thity-sir hours another tele-
gram says relieve NJ" and Mr.. NJ. is
relieved without knowing for what offence
he has been confined in the Marshall coun-
ty Jail.
As GROWING one to these outrageous
acts, a cOnserrator of the peace in Clark
county, by grace of Ames, inficts cruel
corporeal punishment upon a colored
man, whom he had previously confined
in the Enterprise lookup, for no other rea-
son than because the colored man refused
to s,cim out into the Chickasahay so that he
might be shot and his BODY hid. Our cor
respondent from Quitman, gives correct
account of the affair, and shows conclu-
sively that no real attempt was made to
arrest the perpetrator of this crime by
the other appofntees Of the place. -
The Judge Advocate General of this
department, reports that there are not
enough troops in the State to prevent
violence and outrage. OF course there are
not, and would not be if they were doubled
twenty times over, 50 long as the General
commanding encourages it by appointing
to the civil offices the lowest and most worth
less men he can find in the State. Or falling
in this, imports the villains of other States
for the purpose. OF course there are not
troops enough when the civil Offices un-.
derstand thattheir duties consist in organ
izing Republican clubs, attending mid
night meetings Of the most unprincipaled
men in the communities in which they re-
side, and stirring up strife between the
black and the white people of tie State.
