All hearts felt shock like that OF personal bereave-

the minds Of the people it seemed for time to op
press all hearts like nightmare. The pulses of life
throbbed heavily, and human utteranee failed under
the crushing sense of which parayzed the land
But soon the currents Of feeling began to flow and
for many days heartfelt expressions Of coincidence
and substantial manifestations of sympathy have been
flowing towards Richmond like great tide, and no
rght-minded and true hearted man can help feeling
this vast development OF unaffected good will stri

The CoLoRED DEMoNsTRArIos.-We learn from the
Grand Era Torch Light, neat little paper published
on board the steamer Grand Era, while under way,
that there was much difficulty in getting deck hands
in New Orleans on Saturday the 30th ut as the
"grand demonstration in honor of the adoption
of the Fifteenth Amendment was made on that day
Only about one hundred and twenty-five white men
took part in the celebration, of which number nine
tenths, according to the Bulletin, employees in
the Custom house, post-oifca, State and municipal
offices. Gen. Longstreet wss one of this number,
conspicuous in carriage literally covered with stars
and stripes" The Torch Light thus throws further
light upon this dark subject:
Our "rnen and brethren had huge jollfcation in
New Orleans on Saturday last, in honor of the Fif.
teenth Amendment. From appearances we came to
the conclusion that they getting to be ashamed of
their color as the young girls on the ableaux ap
peared to have been selected on account of their
being well i" bleaehed.n
