TT There are evidences of increasing
activity in the Russian camps along the
Danube. Preparations are now making
on a grand scale for crossing the river
and an active campaign. There is very
little TO report as yet, either along the
Danube or in Asia, except these prepa-
rations, and perhaps little more
vigorous prosecution ofthe siege of Kors
and Batoum.

the fact that within short time after
being killed, Mr.. O'Connor's seal had
reached an advanced stage of decompo-
sition; and thirdly, In getting these af-
fldavits, take care that he avoids those
who claim that the seal was dead as q
smelt when shot; then finally, stick to
his text and affirm persistontly that the
specimen is genuine. Perhaps the last
mentioned method will answer the pur-
pose without the use of the other
means, as no one cares to deny it.

old flag The spirit Of rebellion is dead
and buried at the South all they ask
now is breathing space, that they may
"get the hang" of the new order of things.
Not far from where / was living were TO
be found the little headboards Indicating
where thirty or forty Union soldiers were
laid aside to sleep the sleep that knows
no waking; and when Decoration Day
came round Southern maidens laid flow
ers upon these deserted graves-a sweet
womanly tribute, very touching in my
eyes.
The two races do not affiliate socially,
nor is it desired by either. The negro
does not enter white school or church.
He does not wish it. He prefers his own
way amid his own people. He accepts
help in the way of books and papers, and
if white speaker goes among them he
is listened to with respectful attention.
Mr.. Appleton Oaksmith has lecturcd for
them in aid of their school, and others
have done the same, which they well APP
preciatc, but they as rule keep to them
selves. The women are inclined 20 re-
gret the old times when Christmas brought
q wholesome supply of new garments, and
the festival lasted twelve days instead of
one. and the nurses saw 10 the chill
dren, they having little care for them;
but tho colorcd man is proud of his citi-
zcnship, and anxious to give his children
the benefits of more learning. Like the
whites, the colored people ure mostly
Baptists and Mcthodists. They join the
churches very young, at twelve and four
teen, and are very rigid observers OF reli-
giOn.
The people Of the South are by no
means the fire eaters and madmcn which
they figure in Northern papers. They
are rcstivc under the fear Of being de-
fraudcd of their votes, and it would be a
shame to them were it otherwise. am
not sure but we shall have to look to the
South for the preservation of the Consti-
tuition They arc perfectly willing to
give the negro all his constituted rights.
but they do not like to have an inferior,
ignorant race put ovtr them by Northern
bayonets, and il would be n shame to
them if they we're. Let them alone, and
they will adjust their own affairs in the
best way. They are simple-m,nded,
teachable, religious people. Their former
status has left them in the rear Of pro-
grcss, but they are advancing in the right
path, and they only need to be let alone,
or, what is better, that the thousands OF
unemployed workmcn Of our Northern
cities should go South and carry their in
dnstries with them, where they will find
mild winters. easy sustcnance from land
and sea, and farms to be bought for a
mere song Capital is wanted at the
South, but The white man is doing mis-
best. He worlss hard, even the women
going in.o the felds-the prejudice
against labor is much stronger at the
North than it is ut the South. To me it
has citen been quite touching to see per
sons of both sexes meet the inevitable of
toll with cheerful patience quite differ
cnt from the sour moroseness and foolish
pride by which they are supposed to meet
it.
Very respectfully,

venting the settlement Of several estates,
Dy declaring that certain papers and

Ever and anon this hrnzen tale was told
On the morning in question, n reference
was begun by Gen. NJ. G. Butler and afr.
Jno. r. Abney, and again Bouey told his
stereolyped lie. Hereupon these two
gentlemen called Il meeting of the bar,
and it was determined to enter the office,
open the safe, and penetrate the mystery.
All the bar attended the ceremony. A
blacksmith was also there. And by
ISLANDERS. The huge safe, after being laid
lovingly upon its back, then upon it's
belly, and then upon either side, gently
yielded to the blacksmith's chisel; and
what do you think was disclosed? Noth-
ing-not an individual thing The scene
was intensely amusing, hut we have not
time ~ describe it. Bouy, who has sur
rendered the Office to Jesse Jones, as
Clerk of the Court, was not present.
Jesse was also not present, but before
leaving, uttered q lofty and viriuous pro-
test Jesse, whose father might have

for stealing and perjury, tried. convicted,
and sent to the Penitenliary. And if

ENGLAND's New CLIMATE. The issue
of the New York Herald of Sunday last
contained q pretended cable dispatch
from London, which, iftrue, conveys in
formation of tho most startling descrip-
ton. It states that the winter has been
one nf nnexamnled savaritv sn that all
the papers are discussing the extraordi-
nary manifesta.! >os of nature, and grave
ly disputing whether it has not been
caused by q detection Of the gulf stream
from the coast of England, If the de-
fection has taken place, the change of
climate will probably be so extreme, tho
dispatch says, that tho English nation
will be compelled to emigrate en- a,a&se,
possibly to America, possibly to some
other favored country. The publication
os this news, it is almost unnecessary to
say, is an exclusive enterprise of the
Herald. The nation will not embark for
our shores until the delicate negotiations
now pending on the subject between the
State Departments at Washington and
her Majesty's government are satisfacto-
rily concluded. Inducements of Wild
lands viii have to be offered to the
Queen dIu,d Derby. as was done in the
case oil the Mennonites recently.

THE FENCE SToRY.-A man who
prided himself Oh his morality, and ex-
pected to be saved by il, was constantly
saying: "I am doing pretty we'll ON the
whole; sometimes get mad and swear.
but then l am perfectly honest. work
on Sunday when am particularly busy,
but give good deal to the poor, and 1
never was drunk i'll nv life" This man
hired canny ScOtchman to build fence
around his pasture lot He gave him
very particular directions. In the even
ing, when the scotchman came in from
work, the man said: "Well, .Iock. is the
fence built, and is it tight and strong ?''
II Gamma say it is all tight and strong, :"
Jock replied, "but it is a good average
fence, anyhow. If some parts are q little
week, other parts arc extra strong. I
don't know but may have left gap
here aud there, yard or so wide; but
then made up for it by doubling the
number of rails on each side OF tho gap.
1 dare say that tie cattle will find /. q
good fence on the whole, and will l,nr it.
though Gamma just say that it is perfect
in every part" "What ?" cried the man,
not seeing the point, ''do you tell me that
you built a fence around my lot with
weak places and gaps in il? why. YOU
might as we'll have built nc fence at ali.
If there is one op": ling. or place where
an opening ca. be made, the cattle will
be sure to fin it. and will all go through.
Don't you kn,.w man. that fence must
be perfect, or it is worthless ?" az used
to think so," said the dry Scotchman,
"but / hear you talk so much about
averaging matters with the Lord. il
seemed To me that we might try it with
the cattle. II an average fence will not
do for them, | am afraid an average
characte: will not do in tho day of iudg-
mpnt."
