WASHINGTON, d. G., October pa
Your correspondent has just re-
turned from u visit to Baltimore. The
city is quiet at present, awaiting the
action of Gov. Swami in the case of
the Police Commissioners.


The Union men in conversation
freely ayow their determination to
stand by she Commissioners. They
say they are in possession, that they
will act only on the defensive, and will
carry their case into the Courts and
abide the decision, aud that if violence
is used it must be invited by the reb-
els; but they will resist to the utmost
any high handed attempt to usnrp the
functions intrusted TO them by the
Legislature of the State. They say
that great numbers Of rebels here
perjured themselves to take the Reg
istry oath, and that loyal measures
shall be exhausted before such shall
be allowed to act as judges OF elections
and as policemen with power over the
dearest interest of the loyal people.

and other places IN st. Louis county. Not word Of
denial of these statements has been uttered by those
organs which ready to defend the Governor

Soon the sunshine hides them dry.

Men of might have tried its truth,
And many lips have breathed its maxim
In the listening ear of youth; m
And be sure, throughout lifes journey,
Many wounded hearts would heal,
If we all are friends and brothers,

A WARNING TO RADICALs.-The New

advises the Radicals to beware Of attemp-

ton One of those days, and that soon,
the Democrats will inevitably be

also may not then be ready to
do? If it is to be the settled doctrine
now that the Constitution can be 50
amended as to deprive States of all their
powers by the mere force of two-thirds
vote in Congress and a three-fourths
vote of the States, the Journal pertinent
ly asks who can doubt that there will be
fanatics and madmen leading the people
on to amend the Constitution so as to
crush New England into one State in
stead Of six, in spite of all the prohibi-
tons of the existing Constitution. Will

CABINET CHANGES. Washington
Mtelligencer quotes the declaration Of the
Tribune, that the Radical members Of the
Cabinet have decided not to tender ther
designations, but to give the President
the opportunity of removing them and
says:


with surprise we read the above in
the New York Tribune. The attitude in
which it rashly exhibits honorable in
cumbents of the great Executive offices
exposes their honor to shameful asper-
sion. 1t is possible that great public
ministers may heretofore have secretly
stood in such relation to President,
but this is the first time that any such has
ever been openly recognized as willingto
remain in the position Of constitution

ing himself Of being unwelcome. This

BITTERNESS OF THE RADICALS TOWARDS THE SoUTH
The following extract from letter written by Hon
G. c. Langdon, of Mobile, to the Mobile Advertiser
will give readers pretty good idea of the bitter
ness expressed by the radicals in congress towards the
south


lnstenlng to the debates in congress- the first thing


that struck me the extreme bitterness of the rad
icals towards the white people of the SOUTH l ex-
peccd to find hostility, but did not anticipate such
d.e seated hatred and bitter intolerance are daily
manifested The debates 10 which | have listened
have been confined, excessively to measures relating
to the negro and the "rebellon." Nothing else was
talked of while present; and in these debates,
YOU may rest assured wicked "rebels" fare badly


The sole object of all measures introduced, and the
tendency Of all the radical speeches. are to elevate the
negro at the expense of the white Of the south
raise up the former, and oppress and humble the
latter To accomplish these ends the vilest SANDERS
and the most garng and shameful misrepresentation
of the motives and conduct of people, are INDUCED
in with perfect freedom and the most reckless audac
ty the great misfortune is voice is heard in our
defence. The slandered south has not single repre-
sentative the floor to repel these assaults and vind
cate the honor and fair fame Of her people, and the
few friends have there from the north dare not or
think it impolitic to do So


Oh, how it made my blood boil to listen to the
sneers the taunts the insults and the slanders that
freely induged in towards the already op-
pressed and sorely afflicted, but honorable and pa
triotic people of the sauth Oh for an hour on that

congress- the feeling toward the south is exceedingly
kind and liberal but the black republicans in con
gress, under the lead of Sumner in the senate and

thirsty as tigers. How long these two madmen will
continue to control congress, remains to be seen.

STONE WARE CLAY.---A correspondent at
Eugene City, Oregon, informs us that an ex-
tensive vein Of the purest Stone Ware Clay was
discovered some months since at Buena Vista,
on the Willamette river, II miles below Albany,
Lane County, Oregon, and is now being work
by ajoint stock company, consisting of a
farmer and three sons by the name of Smith.
They have brought their ware into the market
and it is pronounced by competent judges full
ly equal to the best ever made in London. As
soon as the necessary buildings can be erected
they hope to supply the whole Pacific Coast
with this article for which so much money has
heretofore been sent East. Some portion of
the clay is said to be the same as that used in

Mn. EDIToR Although it may be too late TO do
any good this spring. | beg To differ with you in
regard TO preserving the maple tree for making
sugar from, in an article under the head Of Agri-
cultural, dated April 6, 1866, as | have expert
meuted with the maple, and observed in cutting
the timber in your State and here IN Michigan'-
In every case whore the holes have been plugged
up, or where spiles have been used by driving in
TO the holes, the tree has black or dead streak
up and down the tree from six to twelve feet each
side of such plugged hole whereas by the other
way, viz boring small hole into the tree, and
driving tin or sheet iron spout under the hole,
the black streak is two feet in length. and
often not over four inches.


Now for the reason Medical men and many
others know that if an injury is inflicted in the
flesh, aud the surface healed. or otherwise closed
so that the deeayed matter is not allowed TO es-
cape to the surface, then 1t works deeper and
deeper, until II reaches the more vital parts, and
sometimes causes death. To certain degree 1t
is Just SO with vegetable matter, The tree is
wounded, the sacearine matter issues, and II left
open for nature 10 beal the wound dries up, and
no sour sap held back TO penetrate the grains Of
the wood aud kill the timber Just as far as II goes.
My way is to use a hali-ineh bit TO tap my trees

metallic spout under the hole It does not pene-
trate, nor even reach the wood therefore does not
injure the tree at all.

are eight miles OF logs. The average width OF
the river is sixty five feet, so there are enough
J logs TO make fourteen million feet Of boards des-
tined for Chicago, and before this drive OF logs
gets 10 the lake where they are to be sawed there

DEMAND FOR NEGROEs.-We had conversat ton
with a gentleman yesterday who had just returned
from trip among the planters in the river coun-
ties in central Alabama. He reports that since


the lst of January negroes have lbeen anxious
to contract and have beeu taken by planters at
fair prices, and that the demand for labor is so


great through that section that he did not see or
| hear of single unemployed freed man during his
trip. We, ourselves, know of numbers of negroes
who have voluntarily left Mobile for the purpose
| of going to work upon plantations in the cotton
| growing districts of the State.


We are glad to note this settling down into the


proper channels Of the dispositions of the colored
population. That they are fast becoming unde-
ceived in regard to their status is evident from


their actions, and they know from experience that


the surest way to the feelings of theate masters,
is by acting as they have now commenced.
