A Beautiful Picture.

JJ The Washington correspondent of the Fulton (O.) Democrat, speaking of the Capitol says:

In the galleries, in one promiscuous crowd, were white and black, both male and ^female. Verily, one would believe that '^Sambo's millennium was at hand 1 Negro women in gaudy apparel might everywhere be seen if you glanced at the lau., dies' gallery, while your humble servant '"V stood shivering in the hall peeping thro' the glass doors, while "Cuffy" filled the cushioned seats of the Gentlemen's gallery, absorbed in the,discussion of measures pregnant with importance to him. /Scarcely have they perfected an organi- ... zation, and the words of the holy man as -.'he invokes God's blessings upon their deliberations died upon their ears, ere bills in' rapid succession follow each other relative, not to the future of the Govern- .... .ment—not to perfect its complete restora--tion and permanency, but to the future of the negro. In both Houses are measures, not onlync if pending'to accord in this district the right of suffrage to the negro, *v.'i. making io a penal offense to refuse his ^ffvote, but on yesterday a resolution was passed in the ffq^e instructing the Judi- .' ciarj' CommitteetO report an amendment -to the Constitution which shall provide r'- 'substantially that no State shall make any distinctiotf in tko

A movement is now on foot among the Radicals tdVstablish a negro bureau in the northern states. The object is to provide homes for the negroes, and the establishing of schools' p.nd colleges for their education. If this measure is carried through Congress this session, our State will havo a bureau with its countless hords of officials in full blast among ul'before the middle of next summer. We fail to see any legislation for the benefit of white people yet inaugurated at Washington. Everything is for the negro.

A RHANOC^E -VTS are being mtulc, we understand, by a doggery-keeper of this city, to open out a branch hell-hole in the pleasant and quiet village of Waveland. Will her good citizens succumb?—Journal.

The "doggery-keeper" is MrT EDWARD ROESSLEIT, a quiet, respectable citizen, noted for minding his own business and letting that of his neighbors alone. In all matters of public improvement he has exhibited a liberal spirit, having given freely out of his own pocket to support the Freedman's Aid Society, the Sanitary Commission, the Christian Commission, nr.d, at a large expense, in illuminating on the receipt, of the news of any victory to our arms during the war, and keeps constantly over his head, behind his countcr, a picture of the lamented Lincoln, and other badges of loyalty. Helms also given two hundred dollars as a donation to the East and West Railroad, besides taking stock in our new Gas Works. Such citizens are an honor to the community in which they live, and their good character and honor cannot be assailed with .impunity by ruv: '-".ntihle and uncalled for attacks. If Mr. It. opoiis a business estauiim.... "the pleasant and quiet village of Waveland/' he will do so according to law, and all good loyal men, who believe in maintaining the laws, will see that he is protected, notwithstanding the invitation of the Journal man to have him mobbed and his property destroyed in the exercise of a legitimate business, far more honorable than the publication of an abolition newspaper.

Shocking Tragedy—A House Burned and Four Children Perish In the Flames. 0"» tho most heart-rending accidents by fire, that has ever come to our notice, took placc on the opposite side of the river, and about two miles from Bella Plaine, on the night of Thursday last. Tha name of the unfortunate family was Shilock, composed of Mr. and Mrs. Shilock, and five children, the oldest some eight or ten years of age. During the night Mrs. Shilock awoke and found the house in flames, when she immediately sprang from the bed. and remembering the four children in the other room that was reached by a passage, she rushed to their rescue.

Mr. S. followed in an instant later, but in his passage broke through the burning floor, and fell into the cellar. By a desperate efTort, almost suffocated by heat and smoke, he again reached the bed which he had left, and grasping the sleeping babe, threw it through a widow he broke out but on turning to see what had become of his wife, he was met by the flames, and but barely escapod by the window through which he had thrown his child. Upon reaching the outside, he heard the cries of his wife from tho entry way or narrow hall, who had been frantically endeavoring to gain the room occupied the children, until she herself had become surrouuded by fire.

Through almost superhuman exertion he succeeded in bursting in the door, and rescuing her, although both were terribly burned. They now-used every exertion to save the children, but all to no purpose, and soon they were enabled to see the four standing together in tho middle jf th^room clinging to each other, with their eyes raised toward heaven, in which position they were consumed by the flames, in full sight of their agonized par ents, who could lend them no aid

More Negro legislation.

The Washington correspondent of the New York Times says:"Mr. Raymond also introduced a bill to amend all existing naturalization laws, by striking out the words which limit their operations to white citizens, so that black men can be naturalized and receive passports. Another section declares that all persons born or to be born in the United States shall be considered citizcns of the United States, and entitled to all

Courts." When the word "white" is stricken out of the naturalization laws, the negro barbarian from Dahomey, or from the Hottentot country, can be made in a brief period, an American citizen and a sovereign of tho "freest and best Government upon the earth. The Chinaman, the Malay, and the Digger Indian, can also be taken into our political system, and help mold and govern it. Is there not a good time coming, when these little distinctions of race and color are abolished?

The Perils of the Sea—Narrow Escape of a United States Vessel A Graphic Dcxsclption.

A correspondent writing from the United States propeller New Jersey, off the Texas coast, gives a graphic description of a storm and the narrow escape*of* that vessel. He says a "norther" sprang up and soon began to blow'- fiercely. From Indianola south to the Rio Grandatlicre is no harbor where the New Jersey might run in for safety, so the captain was compelled, reluctantly, to order-her headed to the north, and her engines to be slowly worked ahead sufficiently to hold our own against the wind. At best it was a forlorn resort.'

The sun went down behind a thickbank of clouds, and thedykness quickly became almost perfect. "The few dim lights on the ship were lighted up only to make the darkness more visible. Thewind was howling furiously, the waves had already reached a prodigious hight and force, and the cold had become intense. Supper was scarcely tasted by any except the officers, who hurriedly and in silence swallowed a few moutlifuls and t'^.n^sought the deck. Most of the pnsseugoss collected in the cabin around the single dismal lamp, while a few, moro curious than others, lingered about the pilot-house to watch the sternly-knit'tcd brows of the captain, and learn what they might from tho orders and movements of the officers. Little satisfaction qould be got, except that the barometer was falling rapidly, and that neither officer nor sailor would sleep that night.

The wind continually augmented till II o'clock, when it reached a maximum, and remained nearly steady through tho night—a tremendous gale. Its ghostly hollow roar through tho rigging—a noiso that none can hear except at sea-—fills the mind with fear, as a hideous dream in the night.

A little after eleven it was whispered among the few that still sat by the dim lamp, "the hole port bow is. stove in, there's a hole as large as a door!"

In a momeut one has gone on deck, and returned. Oh, Heavens! it is true. Five minutes later a tremendous wave broke through one of the aft ports, and 1 the water came rushing over the floor of.?J the cabin. Horrors! is she sinking? Iljf

At this moment a foolish, terrified man came rushing jrom the deck, crying out, "Oh, God, save us! She is one-third fill- "^1 ed with water, and the Captain don't ex- via pect her to live five minntes longer."

Throwing himself in a chair he buried his face iu his hands. His poor, friglitened wife heard him, rushed from her room and falling on her knees before him with a Bible in one hand, with tlie other convulsively clasped his knees, piteously Bobbing, "Oh. Ilcnry! Henry! Our.poor Willie! Shall we see him no more? Must we, oh, inu?t we go down in tlm'cpld cold water and never see him more?" |||j

Soon it bccamc known to the passengers that the water had reached the lime that JJ was on board, and that the ship was in imminent peril of being fired. Was there 'f! need of this last, cruel news? Is there no hope? Is every avenue of escape cutg'f off? Then many a check grew blanched as if its possessor already felt himself feebly gurgling and gasping in the blue depths beneath him and there were bloodless lips moving in prayer that nev-1 er prayed before and the breath of many

was hot and quick as though aliready shortened by the clutches of the grim Old Man of the Sea.

Thus wore away this night of terror, and the cheerful light of day at last shone round ug. If the eye of a mother rejoices to behold the signs of returning health on the cheeks of the. first-born: that had long toppled over the grave, ihem did our eyes exult in the first gray beam of. the morning. When at length tho sun looked out for a moment from behind a sullen cloud, and scattered a shower of jewels on the tops of the cnrling waves, humqn happiness could scarce be greater. The w.ind had greatily slackened, tho leaks had been arrested, the threatened fire had been averted and, more grateful
