IN his Jail Journal John Mitchell
Of be,iuns days 1882 in Richmond
says:
"And speaking of the organization
Of the Confederate army let me men
ton here very surprising part of its
history. The officers being elective,
and the time appointed for new
election falling last summer, just
when the enemy In overwhelming
force was pressing upon Yorktown on
their way up the peninsula to-
ward Richmond. the elections were
held there and then, on the lines, in
the trenches, in actual presence of the
enemy. Was there ever before an in
stance of an army changing, by elec-
tion, the whole body of its regimental
officers on the very eve of battle
Yet here 1t was done, quietly, regu-
larry, without moments excite
ment or confusion. This, as well as
several other examples l could men-
tion, has brought me to the c0nclu-
sion that Of all races OF men In the
world, the Southerners have the
largest amount Of sang froid, of gen.
uine impassihle GOODNESS and steadi-
ness. Yet the very contrary Is the
current and received idea Of their
character. Southern impulsiveness,
Southern passion and wild blind
fury-this Is the cant--the direct OPP
posite Is the fact" r~- ..

A LETTER in the New York Tribun,

A LETTER I'm the New York Tribune
gives deplorable account of the NOR
tality among negroes in South Caroli-
ma. In the city of Charleston 1t Is
shown to be three times greater than
among whites, by the mortality sta
tistics, and in the country 1t is esti-
mated at very nearly the same ratio.
Birth.strangled negro babes are said
to be "strewn" by the way side
throughout the country thus gotten
rid of on account of the nomadic
habits into which the negroes have
degenerated. The writer Endorses the
the opinion that. nothing will serve to
keep up the present standard OF cot
ton production but white labor, and
looks forward to gradual but COM
plete emigration of all negroes at
present In the Atlantic States, to
Louisiana, Texas and Mississippi.
This picture appears to us slightly
overcolored, but 1t Is nevertheless
partially correct as regards the ten
denotes of the times. How much
prospective legislation has done to-
ward producing such a state OF affairs,
the northern people, unhappily for
all either connot or will not see but
there Is little doubt that the salvation
OF the negro race can only he perfec-
ted by the people among whom
he must be utterly dependent for sew
eral generations to come. We sup
pose II will take years before the
blindness OF northern fanaticism VIII
awaken to this truth meanwhile,
the work Of degradation aud death,
pictured In its Inception by the Tri-
bune's correspondent, will have made
giant strides IN its path of desolation.

CINcINNTr, June 9.--The interna-

a resolution favoring regular system
Of apprenticeship, wherever the infiu-

The practice of printing newspapers
outside, away from a home Office,
was dis-approved, but no remedy was
suggested. -.i.l.-, .7fg
A resolution was adopted protest
ing against the use of public money
by the Postmaster General to print

The next Convention is to be held
In Baltimore.
The project Of establishing a home
for disabled printers was considered
impracticable.
A resolution declaring this Union
the highest authority I'm the printing
business, and having power to estab-
lish general rule In regard to quail
fications for the admission to subor-
dinate Unions, was offered. This had
reference to the admission of negro
printers under the rule adopted yester-
day, leaving the subject Of admission
to subordinate Unions. 1t was claim

others, then their charters would be
forfeited. t birs..., ..e.|

If you think 1t worth publishing,
which effectually protected my
melon, squash, cucumbers and other
vines from that destructive pest,
the striped or cucumber bug the
past season with only one application,
viz: A strong solution of hen house
manure-say one peck of the manure
to one and half gallons water-let 1t
stand twenty-four hours, and sprinkle
the plants freely with it after sunset.
The above was suggested to me by
negro woman living on my place,
who has some practical experience in
gardening, and says she has used IL
for years, and has never known the
first application to fail to drive them
off, and they never return
