In the elections which are shortly TO

the public service only men of the most
indomitable resolution and the most
confident and sanguine spirits. Any and

learning, purity-may be dispensed with;

CoERoNG THE CoLoNIsTs.-There is
news from England, and also from the
Provinces, that the British Government
have determined to use influence of q
Iesistless kind to bring the maritime
colonies into the Federation scheme.
Those of them that refuse to become
partners in that political compact are
to be henceforth denied the benefits of
the protection they now get from the
parent State. These refractory Prov
inCes might do without the benefit of
the protection, but they would find it hard
to do without the expenditure of Brit
ish gold, which accrues to them from
the quartering of sundry garrisons
within their borders. There is where
the Imperial shoe begins to pinch them.
Aud there is how they will begin to dis
cover and appreciate the advantages of
the intercolonial union. All this, mean
while, looks as if the colonists were be-
ing invited to cut loose from the parent
State altogether, and seek an independ-
ent political existence, as soon as they

The FIRST AND mE LAST GUN OF THE
RRBELLIoN,-lt appears that the first
and the last gun o. the rebellion were
fired by the same man-that old and
unfortunate fanatic on Southern State
rights, Edmund Rufin, of Virginia.
The first gun for his fancied millennium
of a Southern confderacy was fired by
him at Fort Sumte' in April, 1851 the
last was fired by the same hand, through
his own head, in June, 1866. His name
will thus go down o future generations
as striking Illustration of that insane
enthusiasm with which the leaders of
the late rebellion plnnged into it, and of
the terrible remorsewith which the liv-
ing among them at The end of the strug-
ole came out of IL.

In Alabama the wheat crop is ripe

corn was never known before. Fruits,

the famous Indian peach, are abundant

How TO Grow CABBAoEs.-N. T. T.
in the New England Farmer says;


"When transplant, which l am like
ly to do on a summer day as on any
other, round the plant and immediate
ly lay over it leaf of burdock, rhu-
barb, or grape, and let it wilt down over
the leaf and remain there two or three
days. I then remove them, hoe them,
and place a platform of newspaper
around the plant which may be rapidly
done by tearing up pieces eight inches
square, tearing a slit in one side of the
center and placing little earth on the
edges. This will keep off the cat
worms. If a plant turns to a lead
color pull it up and supply its place
with another, In this way never fail
of cabbages, if don't let the COWS get
in and eat them up.

New YORK, April "a constant
stream of people has been passing
through the room where the remains OF
the late President have been ever since
yesterday afternoon. They pass at the
rate of eighty per minute. At midnight
the German singers, numbering about
1000 voices, chanted dirges. Though the
long line of citizens anxious to view the
remains was kept moving, early this
morning it seemed diminished but very
little, and soon after daylight was length
ened greatly. extending from Warren to
John street on Broadway, and west side
of CITY Hall, while there was another
line of greater length running through
the street on the east side of the hail.
All places of business are closed, while
the upper stories of every building along
the route of the procession are occupied
by anxious spectators.


ONE O'CLoCK.-The procession is now
moving with the remains to the Hudson
river railroad depot. Itisone of the most
imposing and impressive spectacles ever
witnessed in New York city, indeed per-

as also very large number of civic soci-

CINCINNATI, April 25.-General Bris-
bin, Superintendent of the organization
of colored troops in Kentucky, has writ
ten letter to Governor Bramlette, call
ing attention to the disturbed condition
of labor in that State, urging him to call
the legislature and pass the con stitution-
al amendment The General says the
slaves are nominally free. Their mas
tiers can no longer depend upon their la
Dor, and points out the evils that must
arise from the present half slave and
half free condition of the State. He
claims that the passage Of the amend
mont would quiet the minds OF the ne
groes and cause them to remain at home
and till the soil now so much in need of
their labor.


The General says that more than 90
900 of the most valuable slaves have al
ready gone into the army, that Ken
tucky must choose either to have her
slave population absorbed and freed by
the army, or save her labor to the Soil by
granting unconditional freedom to slaves
at home.


The Governor replies, concurringin the
opinion that slavery can no longer be re-
tanned in Kentucky, that labor must be
reorganized on free basis, and says the
war has exterminated slavery and revo-
lutionized the public mind in regard to
it.


Slavery being ended in the rebellions
States, the Governor thinks it should be
ended in Kentucky by the most direct
and speedy means. He regards the pass,
age of the constitutional amendment as
the most practical method, and thinks its
adoption may save the State from the III.

production He calls to mind the patriO
tism of Kentuckians, and says they were

First, That the rebel officers who sur

Second, That persons in the civil ser

have no right to return to the North un-

Third, That rebel officers certainly
have no right to be wearing their uni
forms IN any of the loyal States The
Attorney General adds, that such rebel
officers having done injury in coming
into the loyal States, are but adding in
suit to injury in wearing their uniform ;
that they have as much right to bear the
traitors flag through the streets of a
