expect when our communications with the
West are completed:
Richmond is the only city in Virginia
which comes up to the dignity Of place in
the table; and yet, from the mistaken
policy of certain Missionaries, she was set
down as subordinate, and it was attempted
TO overslaugh her by running railroads
around her. 1t was deemed more impor.

deprived of these advantages of "coopera-
ton" he must sec how he can secure them
by his own independent industry. The
great bulk of masters, as JOHN RANDOLPH
once said. were slaves to the negro. Inc!
cannot be expected to give up their estates
to him.
But there must be no amnesty because OF
alleged injustice to the negro! DOWNING,
the mulatto-who, If he was IN Haytl,
would have to take refuge i'll n little corner
among the mulattocs to avoid the hostility
of the negro--protests against it, and so do
negro conventions. It is great piece Of
impudence as we'll as injustice in these peo-
pie. Without employment from the white
man they cannot live; and why should
they causelessly war upon him ?-upon

can do them any solid and lasting good?
Well, these things will all have an end.

DwELLERs in the Hub are excited over the
scarcity of water. Though the Cochituate
register does not mark as low figure rs it
did in 1864, still Dudley and Dug ponds,
which could then he relied upon for fresh
supply, are now dry. So nearly exhausted
is the Cochituate reservoir that. if no rain
falls during the next fifteen days, and the
same amount Of water is used, only very
few gallous will remain. "The Water
Board" have already cut off the supplies
for ali manufacturing purposes, and threat
ened to extend the order to buildings used
for offices, small shops, Sc. There are in
Boston $50 manufacturing establishments
using water in large quantities and employ
ing large numbers OF operatives. BY the
prohibition Of the Water Board they are
compelled to suspend operations, thus in
juriously affecting domestic industry and
throwing numbers Of laborers out Of en-
ployment. kven now the prospects are
dismal. not only for Boston but for many
other parts OF the country, in this unex-
ampled drought.

The Negro against Amnesty,

We have not yet seen that negroes have
been in favor Of amnesty. They are too
much inclined to slavery to be indepen-
dent, and they follow the commands oftheir
malignant leaders like dogs their masters.
They do not perceive that they are making
war upon tie only people who can help
them, and siding with the descendant and
heir Of the slave-rader upon the high seas,
who bought their ancestors, ut the rate OF
gallon OF New England rum for dozen
of them, and imported them to this coun-
try. This, Of course, nobody can be sur
prlsed at. Such blindness and Wiliuness,
however, is capable Of any imaginable
caprice and infidelity, and those who use
the negro now may look to become the OBJ
Jects Of his hate and eXecration al some
future time.
~~-T hfS mulatto, DOWNING, who keeps the
restaurant in the Federal Capitol, and who
smuggleS whiskey TO guests, against law,
in plated metal cups, has recently honored
Richmond with visit, and he illuminates
the New York Times with letter, giving
his impressions Of the state of things in
Virginia and his conclusion against am
nestu. What impudence! What insutter.
BILE assurance No white man, not blinded
by prejudice and brutalized by malice,
could read what he says without indigna-
ton.
DOWNING arraigns the white people OF
Virginia upon the accusation that they
don't give bread and board to negroes. The
accusation is false ; for the farmers have
nearly ruined themselves in their effort to
turn free negro labor to acknowledgements
Ing negroes with the greatest kindness,
sharing their meat and bread with them
and ut the end of the year they have not
made enough to pay the wages OF the ne
groes and their taxes. What more can
they do: Shall they give their lands-all
that they haye-to the negro! When The
Government deprived them Of their pro-
perry in negroes, it took from them what
was under the Constitution as much pro-
perry as the Land or anything else that the
northern farmer holds us property. Was
The southern farmer required TO support
the liberated slave: Was not the sacrifice
forced upon him enough as his part Of the
contribution to abolition?
The negro is free. He knows how to
work. He ought to be able to take care OF
himself. The effort to take care OF him has
been failure. Let him try to manage his
own affairs. He will be liberally treated: :
and when he shows his capacity to improve
lands and pay for them he can easily buy
them.

The Canal.

The Lynchburc Tirg'ntan has informa-
ton flom one of the United States off.
GERS recently engaged in the survey of the
mountain section Of the james river ana
kanawha canal which concurS entirely Win
what we have heard with reference to that
survey. 1t is that the route is shown TO he
entirely practicable. The engineers were
greatly surprised at the exceedingly tavora-
bic nature of the Allegheny ridge for the
purpose of tunnelling, and leading men,
Der of the corps declared that three years
would be ample time in which TO finish the
proposed nine-mie tunnel through the
Allegheny. The informant Of the F1rJ'mdn'
who is represented to be gentleman Il
distinction in his profession" expresses
the most decided opinions about the
prospects Of the canal. He declares
that the West is unit in favor OF q
large appropriation by the Government
for its construction, and that many east
ern members Of Congress will favor the
measure as giving al additional outlet to
western produce, and diminishing the pro-
liabilities of establishing manufactures in
the Vest. G., by increasing the means
and diminishing the cost of shipping west
"rn produce TO the Atlantic, agriculture i'll
the West will be more remuncrative. and
the people there less inclined to abandon
tillage and 90 into the mills.
But this informant, whom the F'rg'nidn
considers so reliable, thinks that there VIII
lie DO appropriation by Congress to the
canal this winter, there being already cut
out for Congress more business than it Will
probably dispose of, and the disposition
will lie to take up nothing new. There is
no doubt, however, that the James river
and Kanawha canal has recently assume
dignity and popularity in the Union II
had never before attained.

FINE PAINTING BY A VIRGINIA ARTIST
There is on exhibition ut the bookstore Of
WooDnoUsE d PARuAM an oil painting OF
great merit. It is by Mr.. HENRY TURNER,
OF Rappahannock, brother Of Mir. Speaker
TURNER. 1t was done in Dusseldorf while
the artist was perfecting his studies in the
superb school of that city. The scene is
fancied; the idea was suggested by an
event in the life of BAYARD, in which the
knight was wounded. and was nursed and
restored at an elegant and hospitable
chateau near the field OF battle. The pic
ture is styled "The Convalescent." The
knight is reclining in bed. Two ladies
are Keeping him company-onc engaged at
her handiwork peculiar to the time, and
tue other singing and accompanying herself
on the guitar. Articles suited to the re-
ireshment Of the convaescent are arranged
on the table. In the background is 4 SER
want. The persons in the figure are re-
marka5le for their stateiness and grace,
md the details are admirably and faithfully
nortr, we'd. The drapery is wonderfully
wrought. his picture is indeed superb
work Of art. and ling the achievement OF
a native artist, we may regard it with pecu-
liar pleasure. We commend it 10 puOllc
examination.

TRASspLASrIHG SHADE TREEs.-We are
informed By one having experience !.
transplanting trees that the fall is much the
bcs, time for doing SO, though they can be
successfully transplAnted in any mild wea-
Their in the winter. Many planted in the
spring are lost and this has been very no.
ticeable in our Capitol Square and other
public as we'll rs private localities. There
is one tree which must be planted in the
spring, after the buds are considerably
swolen-vz the "forcst poplar" or tulip
tree. 10 plant it III the fall or winter IS
only waste of time. 1t has very porus
root, which will certainly die and rot ii 1t
docs not commence to grow and put out lis
tibrous roots at once. Many poplars are
constantly being lost by being set out IN
the fall or winter.
Small trees are much more certain TO I'VE
than large ones, and where the large ones
live, they become stunted, and the small
ones soon outgrow them.
When transplanted, the tree should nave
some Of the top cut off; and if the tree Is
large. much Of the top should be removed.
While this precaution is not necessary in
moist climates like England and Scotland, it
is very important here.
