Wz see it Stated that since the seat of Government, was established on the Potomac, them have been started and perished, in the District of Columbia, no less than one hundred newspapers.

is now reported by a Virginia correspondent of the New York Times

THE

He has lost sight of the fact that Con giesa did not displace or abolish tho State governments wbich owed theso debts.— These calamities occurred from the action of the people of the Southern Slates, who displaced and abolished the governments which rvera in accord with the Union, and attempted to create others in their places. The Federal Government, therefore, did net displace or abolish iheso States, but v.m tae coutrary, labored strenuously to prevent tho suicidal policy.— The old State governments are dead, and duriug four years wero buried. They do not iivo now, lor Mr. Johnson provisional government* nro not the vld State govern. u:ius. If thoy are, thuy may be cbargaablo with those debts. If the modifications ic them made by Congress are tho old State governments, those modified governments may bo h^ld to assume the old Jebis. It that is tho cjwe, Mr. Johnson 'a gvVernmonts assumed them also and thesQ govurnmo.-.ts yet remain, bv agreement of Co .gross, subject to military supervision, whioh control.-, but does not destroy the «i. Tho difficulty with Mr. Johnson is that bo fondly hugs the delusion that, whilw

GES.

Cincinnati people are in trouble,

Their streets are in shockingly bad condition, and extensive contracts have been let for laying down the Nicholson pav ment, and now thecontraotors are accused of cot half doing their work, and the Street Commissioner is charged with be ing in collusion with the contractors to swindle the tax-payers.

Ms.

JOHNSON

is determined that "my

policy" shall die hard He will not allow it to expire in peace, but is anxious that it shall make its will and provide therein for all the debts which it owes and might owe if it were privileged to assume too obligations of the rebellious States. The last effort which Mr. Johnson makes in the face of Congress, is, he thinks, a terrible effigy, such as will scare the souls of fearful adversaries. Mr. Johnson hints —he does not affirm—that if the Reconstruction bill is enforced, the consequences pecuniarily will be tearful. Congress may, perhaps, become responsible for the wholo cost of conducting the govern ments in the Southern States, Congress may be compelled to assume the'debts of those Stales before the Rebellion. The President kindly oinits all reference to the dobts incurred during that struggle. These are the disastrous consequences that may follow from the substitution of the policy of Congress for that of tho President On the contrary, it Mr. JohnBon's illegal governments bud not been meddled with^ no tucb ulurming consequenccscould have followed. Ti.ese governments would hav cost iho country nothing those debts would have rumuined liens against the Status which created thorn. In making these insinuations, Mr. Johnson has been strangely unobservant of the figure which

cuts by the same arguments. If Con gresB, by declaring that the forms of government existing in tho South are sub ordinate to the authority of the military commanders, thereby makeB itself responsible for the State, county, township aod municipal expenses of that region, which the President declares to be four, teen millions of dollars a year, it must bo because the former governments, which required those expenditures bavo been superseded. In that case, the first offen dor was Mr. Johnson himself, because his provisional governments are gross inva sions of the previous rights of the old gov eanmvnts. Ho totally overthrew them, if they had any existence at the time when the rebellion was subdued, and of his imperious will inflioled upon the country the necessity to pay for the support of those provisional governments. If Con gress cannot undertake to govern tho.-e States until they arc restored to their functions, without incurring this obligation, Mr. Johnson could not form governments of his own which could release the country from the necessity of assuming those obligations. The same thing is true of the old debts of those State3 They amount to one hundred millions of dollars, Mr. Johnson computes, and.he asks very gravely, "whether,

that,

In the Oil Dominion, a majority of the voters will be negroes. The whites could have registered about 125 000, while the blacks cannot muster mora than 90,000 but maoy of the former refuse to register' on the ground that they will not put themselves on a par with negroes.

the Federal

Government were to assume such obligation, so large an addition to our expendi turcf, it would not soriou3ly impair tho creditcf tho nation Undoubtedly,

that one hundrod millions were nssumed, all the disastrous consequences might follow, but as the Federal Government intends to do nothing of the sort, the suggestion is impertinent and mischevioui. But on the other hand, the President inquires, "whether the reiwsal of Congress to guarantee the debts of those StateSj after having displaced or abolished their State governments, '-vould nut be viewed (U a Violation of good faith and a repudi ation by tho National Legislature of liabilities which these States had justly «nd legally incurred? Tho trouble with Mr Johnson is,that ho is afflicted by a chronic forgotfulness.

ay mai State,

which is, in fact, the State that was abolished, Congress possews no such right bat, in truth, the opposite to his opinion is the actual fact

declared in his speech in

Congress the other day that Juarez was the only man in America who bad the nerve to hang traitors. The statement was a correct one. Certainly that kind of nerve is lacking in the United States.

GEN.JEFF. TH IIFSOS,

GZSZKAL

THE

is evident that all the emigrant schemes of the discontented rebels are corning to a sad end. In Mexico tbe starved colonists of Cordova begged a passage homo from many of the vessels that carry tbe loyal flag while others walked nearly tho whole length of Mexico, and, crossing tho Rio Grande, found themselves happy again under the old banner. Centrul American colonization schemes have met with a similar fate and now we hear from Brazil tho wail of starving Sonthern people who have sought what they cailed freedom there from tho detested government of the United States. Many have reached tbe La Plata valley, and are at Buenos Ayres begging their way home again, or, almost reduced to starvation, are supported bj tbe generosity of the residents of that country.

It is well for the Soath to understand that there is no country to which they can emigrate that ean extend to them the advantages to be found here, and that in truth "there is no place like home."

Sea F(9h and Fisheries.

If the sea is prodigal of life to a degree that baffles our powers of conception and calculation, it is to less a scene of bounties destruction The life of all fishes is one of perpetual warfare, and the only law that pervades the great world of wa ters is that of the strongest, the swiftest and most voracious. The carnage of tho sea immeasurably exceeds even that which ii permitted to perplex our reason on the earth. "We know, however, that without it the population ol tho ocean would soon become so immense that, vast as it is, it would not suffice for its multitudinous inhabitants Few fi-hes probably die a natural death, and some seem to have been created solely to devour others There is probably nne which does not feed on sorr.e other »pecies or on its own Many of the monsters that roam the watery plain: arc pr. vid'.d with maws capable of enyulphing thousands of their kind a day. A hogshead of herrings have been taken out of tbo belly of a whale

A shark probably destroys tens of thousands in a year Fifteen full-sized herrings have been found in the stomach of a cod. If wo allow a codSsb only two herring par day for his subsistence, and suppose him to feed on herrings for only seven months in the year, we have 420 herring as his allowance during that period, and fifty c. dfisb vqual one ma in destructive power. But the quantity of cod and of ling, which are as destructive as cod, taken in 1861, and registered by tho Scotch fishery board, was, say the cvnmissiouers, over 81,000 cwt On an average thirty codfish make one hundred \7eight of dried fish, uud 2,400.000 will eqaa 48,000 flshi-.inu-n. In other words, the cod and ling caught on the Scotch coast in 1861. if they had been k-ft the water, won id have devoured as many herrings as were caught by all the fishermen of Scotland, and six thousand more, in the same year.

TOE

in hii letter to

one of those Tabid Southern editors who have lately been growling and barking, soapping and biting at him and Longstreet and other ex-confederate Generals, for having counselled submission to the "inevitable logic of events" and to the iaw, quite distinctly intimates the mode of treatmefit—sharp and decisive—wbich he mear.s to apply to this .individual flre eater, whatever kind ol a broken down politician the latter may turn out to be, whether an "old dog" or a "little pup." Jeff tells him, "I will l?t you pass until I return South, when I will inquire into your antecedents, and if you are worthy of notice I will teach you better manners.'' The Yazoo editor certainly needs to be taught a lesson, whatever may have been his antecedents.

POPE has the very natural

idea that the paroie ^iven by the rebel soldiers at the close of the war is mora than waste paper and is to be relied upon to compel certain factious members of the former Confederate service to behave themselves and act the part of good citizens. Grant says, in the old unconditional surrender =t) ie, "'your views on the obligations of parole are in strict accordance with owo.' Thus there is perfect harmony on this poiDt, and certain disaffected residents of the military districts may wake up some day to find that they are reported as having violated their paroles and are once more prisoners of war. Let them bewure of "at.empiing to keep up difficulty and prevent the settlement of the Southern question in accordance \Vith the act of Congress."

rebels and copperheads have rare

ly maintained that thnir men fared as bad in Northern prisoner# as ours did in these at the South but now and then some auducious fellow has brought false accu eation against our authorities. For this reason the Congressional Committee appointed to investigate the rebel treatment of prisoners should have been empowered to thoroughly inquire into and report upon the treatment of prisoners on •both sides, General Washburne, of Wisconsin, had a zeal that wa.s not according to knowledge when ho introduced a resolution to tho effect that such a proposition would imply that '-v-i abjsod our prisoners of war. Tne proposition was made, webeli'ive., by Mr. Inger3oll, of Illinois, and his object doubtless was to afford the government and its agents a complete official vindication. Certain it is that such would have been thetequel of tho proposed inquiry. But, without any further investigation tho public is in possession of facts ampie to a general exculpa.ion, although not aj dutailod as could be wished.

But as the cod and ling caught were certainly not ono-tenth of tho*e loft behind. wo may fairly estimate the destruction .f herrings by those voracious fish uione as at kstt ten times as great as that effected by all the fisheimenin Scotland. Sea birds ure scarcely lass destructive to fi»h than ii»h uretoeach other. The colon goose cau swallow and digest at ioast six lull-sized herrings per d«y, It has been calculated that the Island of Su Kiida. assuming it to be inhabited by 200,uQO of these birds, feeding for seven moaiQs in the year, and with an allowanco of five hi-rrings eaca per day, the number of fisb for the 6ui..uicr suoaisteuce sicgie species of bird cannot bw under 214.000,000. Compared with the enormous consumption of fish by birds and by each other, the draughts made upon the population of tee sea by man, with all his ingenious fishing devices, seem to dwindle into absolute insignificance.—Edinburgh JRcviexo,

LITTLE GIRL THAT HJE.

MEETS

There's a little girl that meets me, And with laughter ever greets me. And to kiss her oft entreats me.

As I stray

Long the path of life so weary, Where the saddened heart and wear? Shades the sunlight standing near me,

On my way.

She ha* eyes as bine as hearen, (Only ag about eleven), But unto her God has given

Such a heart,

That forever she is singing, And liar sweet voice ever ringing, Beauty o'er the rapt heart bringing,

Sweet as art.

With her tunny hair so curly, With her teeth ao white and pearly, I have met her late and early.

By tbe way,

And I take her hand and press it In my own, just to caress it— •'Pretty little band, God bless it!"

I do say.

May the world smile ltindly on her, benedictions fall upon her, Angels be her gnide of honor,

As she goes,

Through this world of oars singing. Peace to troubled spirits bringing, No grief her pore heart wringing,

With Us woes.

May the sweetest harp in heavenBrightest crown that e'er was given, Where waves of life are driven,

Past the throne—

Echo to her dainty finger, 'Ponher pure brow ever linger, While each angel be a singer,

Calling home.

Crops and Politics at the South. [from the St- Louis Dispatcb. A gentleman of this city, just returned from a protracted visit to Alabama and GeorgiM, informs us that tho crops in those States thus far fulfill all the expectations that their appearance in the spring inspired. Tho wheat harvest is over, and proved to be unexpectedly fino. Many counties bad raised two hundred thousand bushels. The corn also promises well and what with their good crops of these articles, the people of the South will be at least h»lf supplied. Tho cotton is now waist-high, thrifty and promising. An unusual freedom of the fields from insects is noticeable. Many estimate the coming crop at a full average and the moderate estimates do not place it under three million lk!e The people are contented with t'aeir material condition, and greatly re1 eved by the grain harvest, and the prospect of a good cotton crop. At the 3arnu time, they are kept in a state of torturing suspense by the unsettled problem in which they are tho chief element.— They do not know how long Congress will continue to make sport and experiment of their condition, and the subject id to them one of constant and ever-pres-ent anxiety and conjecture. .Tne negroeB are new working or. shares with the planters, and, as a general thing, are working as faithfully and efficiently as they did before the war. In the towns and cities, however, they aro ab3croed in politics aud addicted to meetings and demonstrations, to the neglect of their labors. The ynly whites who take any public part in political movements are the soallawags who are bidding for negro votes.

The Company respectfully submit, that tha above statement of facts fully demonstrates the security of their Bonds, and as additional proof they wonld suggest that the Bonds now offered are lees than ten million dollars on 617 miles of road, on which over twenty million dollars have already bsen ei penned —on 330 miles of this road th* cars are new running, and the remaining 1ST miles are nearly coi/ipleted.

At the present rata of premium on gold these bonds pay an antioat interest on the present cost of

Nine Per Vent.,

and it Is believed that on the completion of tha road, like thi Government Bonds, Ih.y will go above par. The Company lnts-n to sell bat a limited amount at the present low rate, and retain the right to advance tbe price at their option.
