The International Workingmen's Associa-
tion has issued an address to the National
Labor Union of the United States, urging
the workingmen OF America to use their in
fuence to prevent a war between America
and England the clearest regult OF which
would be for an indefinite period to "hurl
back the ascendant movement of the work.
ing class on both sides of the Atlantic" The
signers of the address seem clearly persuaded
that the war between America and England
If war there should be-will be the result OF
the Vaccinations of the despotic rulers Of Eu-
rope, who, to the democratic mind, are the
authors of all evil. "We need hardly tell you" !"
they say, shat there exist European powers
anxiously bent upon hurryiDg the United
States into a war with England" Russia
seems particularly interested in fastening
this event, in order that she may escape the
competition of America in "the export OF
raw produce" "To convert the American
plcughshares into swords would just now
rescue from impending bankruptcy that des-
potic power which your Republican states
men have, in their wisdom, chosen for their
confidential adviser" Aside however, from
the particular interest which Europe feels in
gripping the power of the United
States, is it not, the address asks, the
general interest Of the common oppressors Of
the workingmen TO turn their fast-growing
international cooperation into an interne-
cine war? The address is signed by the of
ficers of the association, viz; B. Lucraft,
Chairman, a chair-maker; Cowell Stepney:
Treasurer, trunk-maker; j. Geore Eccarius,
Gen. Secretary, tailor; and also by the MEM
bers of the General Council. consisting of
workers in various handicrafts, OF British
French, German, Swiss, Belgian, Danish, and
Polish nationalities.

THE AFRICAN RAcE.-The New York
Tribune has some interesting speculations
upon the colored population. 1t says:
The inevitable ineriority of negro to a
white man is pointedly illustrated by one or
two facts in letter from North Carolina.
About half the colored children in the schools
of that S.ate-children born, Of course, dur
ing the existence Of the patriarchal system
are so nearly white that Nobody can tell to
which race they approach the closer; but
since the war has given the freedmen the con-
troll of their own families. amalgamation has
almost wholly ceased, proving that it was the
whites, not the blacks, W 10 were responsible
for it of old. The colored people are going to
school with great assiduity, and are supposed
to have contributed more money for educa-
tion in 1868 than the whites. About 10000
of them in North Carolina have learned to
read since the close of the war, and probably
not 10000 whites in the same State have ac-
quired that much education during the same
period. of course it must be evident from
this that the social and political elevation of
the freedmen is a sin against God and nature,
not to say moral impossibility.
AS further illustration of the effect Of the
Curse of Canaan in keeping white people up
on higher plane than the rest of mankind,
we may add that the Northern gentlemen
and ladies who have sacrificed home comforts
for the purpose of teaching these poor colored
people are sometimes treated with every kind
Of indiguity by the high-toned white native.

LOSING AN OFFIcE.-The New York
World is in pain because Hospital Steward
Torny is discharged from the service Of the
United States for marrying the daughter of
Mrs. Surratt. The order for the discharge
has recently been issued from the War De-
partment. Now Torny had right to marry
this daughter if he chose to do so. And If
she was pretty and well behaved we don't
blame him. The cause of his removal proba-
bly, lies deeper than his marriage We should
not wonder if there was little of the virus
Of copperhead left in his heart along with
the love be cherished-for Miss Surratt. Now
this virus has done great deal OF mischief in
our country, and we fear it still rankles in
many bosoms. If one is iunoculated with
this poison and has it bal, we think he is
hardly fit to hold an Office Of profit and trust
in our government. We want men in Office
who are honest and patriotic and not those
who still feel occasionally pangs Of grief thai
the great rebellion didn't succeed.

Miss Anthony is said to have written the
following, which is taken from the Revolu-
ton newspaper. Is it possible to think of a
more unnatural and unpromising state of So
cial order than such doctrine threatens, if il
be really meant for anything more than pet
ulant fault-fnding:
We would suggest that every young girl be
taught the use of firearms, and always carry
a small pistol for her defense. Moreover, that
she should be accompanied by an immense
Newfoundland dog whenever she is in danger
of meeting her natural protector. What a
shame to teach our young girls to look up to
man as the source of light and wisdom-sthe
head of woman, as Christ is the head of the
ChuIchw
To go to the root of all these outrages it
will be found in the idea that woman was
made for man. and every man has feeling
that he has right to any pretty girl he can
entrap.
If women could completely disguise them
selves in male attire, that would be a great
protection in going about the crowded cities.
Something must be done that our girls may
be free to roam up and down the earth at
pleasure. There are many good reasons for
laws that forbid man to assume woman's at
tire, but there is no reason in the world why
woman should not seek safety and indepen-
dence in the costume that secures it.
