Senator Brownlow, ofTennessee, well
known as most aggressive Republican,
has Published another argument in the
shape OF an open letter in earnest oppo
sition to the civil rights bill The tone
of the letter is exceedingly temperate,
and its arguments are conclusive as to
the danger incident to compulsory flu
sion of white and colored schools in the
South which would result from the pas
sage of the bill The Senator SAYS that
the recent county elections in Tennes
see were contested with exceeding Bit
terness on this very question, and that
the republican party, simply because of
its advocacy of the bill, was defeated
by fifty to sixty thousand majority.
This fact proves incontestibly that so
far as that State is cdif6etned the PEG
pc, irrespective Of color, are awake to
the Importance of not putting in jeop
ardy the present educational system
merely to satisfy the fanciful theories of
fanatical few.

We publish in this issue the pros
ceedings of the Railroad Convention at
Staunton The extension is demands
by Southwestern Virginia, not as
measure which wit! build up Baltimore
or benefit the B. & q. r. r. but as
one which for about 200 miles supplies
an industrious people who have no
railroad facilities, and develops the
material interests Of the State Of Nr-
. ginia. A glance at the proposed route
will convince any one of it's importance.
It will begin in Botetourt and Thn
through the counties of Craig, Giles,
Bland, Tazewell. Russell, and Scott.
Besides these, Lee, Wise, Buchanan
and several counties Of West Vir-
ginia will be enabled to reach market
by this road. When we consider the
great extent of country now without
railroad facilities, the vast mineral
wealth which will be developed, no
less than the great conveniences afforded
those people, it does seem very singu-
lar that even East Virginia should op
psse the enterprise. That there should
be opposition in the Valley, a section
which could not possibly be injured,
but which on the other hand would be
the recipient of go cd, is a fact which il
difficult to explain. The valley rail,
road without even a connection at Sa
lem can only be a local road. Thu
proportionate cost Of transportation on
local road must certainly be highe
than upon road having in addition {
large through trade The amount o
money expended upon the line Of mer
local road, by the company will be les
than if it were through line. The con
veniences of travelling will be less. Il
every view the people of the Vale.
of Virginia will be benefited by thu
building of this road and they will en-
dorse the request made by the conven
ton that the Legislature of Virgins
grant the necessary charter.

The crisis is eliminating in Louisi
ana, and the conflict has fairly begun in
which the long suffering and grievous
ly oppressed white citizens are asserting
and defending their rights and liberties.
New Orleans may now be styled the
Paris of the South, where barbados
obstruct the streets and a determined
citizen soldiery defend them. On the
l4th inst, committee appointed by a
mass meeting Of the citizens OF New
Orleans waited upon Gov. Kellog to
protest against the conduct of the State
authorities in Selling arms belonging to
private citizens, and to request him to
abdicate General Dibble, a member
of Kellogs staff, conveyed the message
to the Governor, and returned the reply
that he (Kellog) declined receiving any
communication from the committe ap~
pointed by the mass meeting. Where
upon the committee reported back to
the mass meeting still in session, when
the citizens were advised to go home,
get their arms and ammunition, and re
turn to execute the plans that would be
arranged.
At 4 o'clock P. M. proclamation
was published in an extra edition of the
Bulletin receunting the wrongs and
grievances inflicted upon the citizens of
Louisiana by the usurped government,
and calling upon all male citizens of the
State between the ages of Is and As to
arm and report to their proper officers,
for the purpose Of driving the usurpers
from power. Appointments of officers
and General Orders were then issued by
Lieut.. Gov. d. B. Penn, in the absence
Of Gov. McEnefy.
The people seemed to have responded
with alaerity to the advice given them
by DR.. Beard, one of the speakers at
the Canal street meeting. By 8 P. NJ.
armed men were stationed at the in
tcrsction of all the streets on the south
side of Canal street, from the river to
Claiborne street. About 4 P. M. a
body of metropolitans. numbering about
five hundred, with cavalry and artillery
appeared at the head of Canal street
and took position.
General Longstreet, who was com
handing, accompanied by an orderly,
then rode up and down Canal street, or
dering tue armed citizens to dispense.
Some desultory firing soon after oc-
Cured along Canal street, and some few
casualties are reported on both sides.
The metropolitans are said to have
broken at the fire, the citizens are now
building barracks along Poydras
street, having already captured the
city hall and taken possession of the
fire alarm telegraph. The police tele-
graph lines are worked by a battery
from the city hall, and have been de
tached therefrom, rendering them use
less.
There is one company OF. United
States troops here, but they remain at
the custom-house, spectators of the
OF the lively scene being enacted in
front of them. The State authorities
seem to have great confidence in their
ability to deal with what they term an
armed mob, and say that unless the
people dispense there will be bloody |
work to night. Barbados are erected
on all streets leading from, Canal,
between Poydras and Canal, and the
peoples party hold all that portion Of
the city above Canal. The metropoli
Ians are massed in and around jackson
