The glorious news from Connecticut
which we announced in our last issue is
confirmed, and every lover Of old jefferson
ian principles can now rejoice from the full
ness Of his heart that the tide is turning
against those who would, if they dared and
were further upheld, turn our country into
vast military camp, and not only dictate
how we should vote but, as in Massachu-
setts, what we should eat and drink. The
result, We feel sure, is ''but the beginning
of the end and in our next State election
Wisconsin will send greeting to the old
Nutmeg State.

INSPECTION OF FIsH. -The laws Of the
State relative to the inspection of fish have
been materially altered during the present
session. Fish caught along the shores of
Lake Michigan must new be inspected at
the place where caught. Formerly the law
was quite lax in this respect, and fish was
shipped to Milwaukee and Chicago without
inspection, and frequently without proper
curing.

We were mistaken, few days ago, in
saying that the Brigsdiers in command
of the Districts composed Of what were
ence States, have no power under the
Bill and Supplemental Bill of abomins-
tiOns to remove and appoint judges.


The first section of the original act sub
jects those districts to the military, and
not to the ciUH authority of the United
States and section six is in these words /:


SECTION 6. Alid be It further enacted,
That until the people of said rebel states
shall be by law admitted to representa-
ton in the congress of the United States,
any civil government which may exist
therein shall be deemed provisional only
and IN al respects subject to the par
amount authority OF the United States,
at any time to abolish, modify, control
or supesede the same and in all elections
to any office under such provisional gov
ernments all persons shall be entitled to
vote under the provisions Of the fifth sec
ton OF this act and no person shall be
eligible to any Office under any such pro-
visioEal governments who would be dis
qualified from holding office under the
provisions of the third article of said con-
stitUtional amendment.


It Is not Congress. but the paramount
authority which the bill has expressly
declared to be the Military authority Of
the United States, that may at any time
abolish, modify, control or supersede the
provisional Government of the States.
The General may destroy the Govern
ment in whole or part, at his pleasure,
may annui every law in force in State,
and every right Of every man may
annul all contracts, even that of mar
rlage, and, if he likes, hire the white

A correspondent of the New Yark


World, writing from Richmond, Va, on
the 9th Of March, says:


TERRIBLE DEPRESSION IN TRADE.


If trade continues IS dull and employ
ment as scarce as it is now, two thirds of
the business men of the south will fail,
and thousands of artisans and labOrers
will starve. The general distress here is
frightful. People having property and
who are anxious to sell to keep them
from want can get little or nothing for it.
A house that would bring five thousand
dollars year ago would not bring two
now, and 80 in respect to lands and all
other descriptions OF property. Respect
able and once wealthy families have had
TO dispose of everything of any value in
their possession to keep themselves from
starving. What they are to do in the
future is to them q perfect mystery.
The prospect is a dark and dreary one.
All seem to have the most agOnizing ap-
preheDsiOns of the future, for they see
not ray of hope to cheer and encOur-
age them. Pieces of property are being
daily sacrificed by forced sales, under
deeds of trust given to raise pittance
for the purpose of meeting present


wants-in short, warding off starvation.
No one not intimately acquainted with
the condition of the people here can
| form any idea of the extent of the suf-
| fering which now prevails. A highly
respectable and talented gentleman told
me, as late as yesterday, that he had


been fasting for two days for want of a
| trifling pittanee Of quarter or half a
dollar to purchase a meal. This is but
one of a thousand such instances in this
city: and the most discouraging feature
| in this sad scene is, that no one is able
| TO relieve his distressed and suffering
| neighbor, however willing he may be 10
| do so. / have heard many regrets
! that death had not taken them
before they were brought to their pFeseu {
| awful condition. Even if relief could be
obtained by soliciting it, it is questiona-
| BILE whether many who are sufferip g


would not endure any privation, short


of death, rather than reveal their pow
/ ertv by an application for aims. 1t is 8


natural pride in parties, especially, who


never before experienced want, but there


is reason TO fear that it is INDUCED at too


great a cost. A million, or twenty mill
lions of dellars would not cover the dis
tress now existing at the south. II is


too general to be relieved fully. par
tiaI abatement Of it is the most that can
be done by any effort OF charity. The
south is to-day one sad, desOlate scene of
mourning and sorrow. The people seem
persuaded that an early retribution will
| overtake the authors of such woe and


suffering.

Under no circumstances cease to


remember that the contest at the polls


in this State, to take place on Tues


day, October Sth, will decide issues


involving all that is important and


essential to the peace, permanence


and prosperity of the nation. The


Union Republican candidate for the


humblest Office in the gift of the peo-


pie represents great principle, and


his election is necessary to secure


the success Of that principle. The


Union Republican party saved the
country from treason. Had the Cop
perheads been let alone, the slave
holders rebellion would have been a
triumph. We would have had q di-
vided country. JEFF. Davis would
have been enthroned tyrant in the
South, and the people of the North
compelled to pay tribute for his sup
port. Union Republican policy and
Union Republican bsyonets defeated
these dangers. Nevertheless, the
Copperheads of the North are still
the friends of traitors and are strug-
Cling now for political victories for
power to revive the war Of treason.
Hence, We assert, it is necessary to
defeat the Copperheads at the ballot
box as it was to vanquish rebels on
the battle field. Had the rebels sue
ceeded, the national debt would have
been repudiated. Let the Copper
heads be victorious at the polls and
they win do what the rebels failed to
accomplishment WILL REPUDIArs

Does any man doubt the Copper
heads desire to create financial cri-
sis in which the business Of the
country may be wreckeds Here Is
the proof: Three years ago they
cried Justify against greenback cur

drawn and metal at once substituted
for paper. Had this advice been
then taken, bankruptcy would have
been entailed on every business man
| in the land. The same men are now
the eager advocates an Of increase OF
greenbacks to the extent OF two bill
lions. Their object is the same II
both cases. They wished to damage
the public credit in the first place by
crying down the currency; failing IL
this they now wish such an over

clamorous for an enormous increase

CHAPEL HILL, N. O., June e5.-The Presidential
party arrived here this afternoon, and were
welcomed by the President Of the University,
DIR. Swain. In the course of his remarks he
said, that in the republic of letters there should
be no parties, and paid a high compliment to
the honesty, integrity. and administrative
ability of the Executive.


President Johnson returned thanks for this
manifestation Of friendship. not only from the
faculty and scholars of the University, but the
large cencourse of friends present He would
be false to the State of his birth were he to say
that this demonstration was not peculiarly
gratifying to him. No matter what advantages
might be conferred by institutions of learning
and kind friends, man to succeed must rely
upon himself, upon his own energies. He was
rejecting, while walking along the road and
cOnversing with a cavalryman, that forty-one
years ago he walked over the same ground
alone, and, he was going to say, almost penni-
less, with scarcely money enough to pay ex-
penses. Although he could not boast, as many
who now heard him, of learning, and although
he left his native State for no crime, but to
seek his fortune elsewhere, he could say in all
the warmth of his heart that he was still proud
of old North Carolina and loved her still. In re-
turning among his friends, he claimed no honor
but an earnest effort to perform his duty. His
obj ect had been to sustain the institutions Of a
free government He had laid down as q funda-
mental tenet that merit alone in the broad
sense of the term, should constitute the dis
tinction in society, and that when we under
take to perform our duty we should have good
conscience. He had always made the public
good his aim and the Constitution of the
country his guide. He was for sustaining the
Constitution, made by our fathers and
cemented by their blood, in it's integrity.
When we depart from the Constitution our
institutions will relatively suffer. The Govern
ment which has no power to enforce the la ws
fails In its great object, and public rights are
all at sea. He trusted that one of the leading
studies of this University would be the princi-
pies of the Constitution and free government
tution as the palladium of our safety and our
liberties and by it in the future, as in the past
he intended to stand. Our principles of
government were If properly understood
sufficiently expansive to embrace not only all
the States of this Union, but the entire civil
lized world. He had been invited to Chapel
Hill, and would tomorrow be proud to witness
the University commencement.


In conclusion, the President encouraged the
pupils of the Institution, who were here atten-
tive listeners, to works of usefulness, remind
ing them that the path of honor was open to all.


The PRESIDENT was frequently interrupted by
applause, and at the conclusion of his remarks
an instrumental band performed several patri-
otic airs.
