It to also well known that Colonel Farrow held position under the Confederate Government—a Government he very eneeringly denounces, now that lie Nitre Bureau baa ceased to be a paying institution.

Tbe battfe-fiekfe of our country are still red with the blood of n colored soldiery, and, strange aa it may appear, the life- current ot one colored officer is yet unshed— from the humiliating fact that while wo were deemed patriotic, intelligent enough to don the uniform of a private in the ranks, we were not considered worthy of carrying a sword or wear- ~loe.

Conflected with the foregoing, we embrace the present opportunity of presenting also to tbe colored people in this vicinity the following “ POLITICAL VIEWS OP A COLORED LADY " which wc copy from the Baltimore GateUe, and which we commend also to their attention as embracing a far more patriotic and sound appre ciation of the condition of her race, and what to required of them, to promote their prosperity and happiness, than has yet been uttered by any ot their self-styled, and pretendsd, white radical friends.

The following is ths oonclu ding portion of her lecture: “Now I bold that between the white man and the colored men of the South there is a comma-' nity of Interests.

The following sketch of a somewhat prominent character will, says the Chattaanooga Union, “ bring back to mind one who used to make her appekranoe aa a wondering star in this city during the war.” It will also bring back to the mlnda ofmnnyof our own citizens, ths sams" wandering star” who, alter the war closed, honored Atlan ta with her appearance jand during her ttay in it, created no little sensation by her “ last driving and other eccentricities. The last authentic in telligence from Mexico in regard to her and her Prince renders it doubtfoi whether they will ever have the gratification of seeing the Emperor ol Austria to receive their reward. He had been condemned to death, and she was in prison, biding her fate: The Princess Saim Balm, a very pretty little woman, now in her twenty-seventh year, is not “on American lady,” nor was her maiden name Le Clerq. Her father, who has resided in Can ada tor several vears, bears a very different sur name, and to a Oolonel in the British service.— Previous to bis residence in Canada he served in the East Indies, where hiadaoghler was horn, her mother being a half-caste Hindoo. It is ty clear, from these premises, that tbs Prin- Halm Balm is not. and cannot be, “n niece of President Johnson.” Ten yean ago she nr- rivetTlB Philadelphia with “a plentiful scarcity” of money, having, indeed, only the clothes which she then wore. Her story, which there Is no reason to discredit, is that her father having treat ed her so harshly aa to make home unhappy, she had fled from Canada. At that time, acoordli u> the date of her birth in the Almanach Gotha, Mias Agnes Le Clerq (*a she called her self,) wanted some months ot sweet seventeen, but she looked three or four yean older. She left Philadelphia early In 1868, and Joined traveling circa*, where she soon became a sort of “star." She married one oi the horse-rider* ot the company, by whom she had one child.— Inasmuch aa she married her present princely spouse in 1883, it is to be presumed that her first husband died. Tbe Prlnceas is alike active in mind and body, capable of enduring privation and fatigue, quick at resources, lively in conver sation, and easy in her manners. 3he speaks French fluently, having learned the language in Canada.

The fact that the qualified voters are to have a free and unbiottd choice in tbe plan of recon struction, and the election ot delegatee, folly es taMtohta the foregoing proposition*. It necee •arily follows that ail such important questions as to trite shall perform Jury duty In tbe States as reconstructed, are to be fa abeyance under the military rule, and any net whleh Interfere* with a free choice unitor the tows, to not to be exer cised, and ta violative both of their spirit and letter. Tbe military commanders may, by vir tue of the power of bayonets, use tliolr office* to violate the righto conferred upon the people, and to oppram ell, or e portion of them, and there may be no authority both willing and able to control them, but this does not give them tbe right Any man may, with Impunity, violate every principle of truth and honor, and if he have power, may perpetrate wrong and Injustice upon the helplem, but if he does, he will be a cruel, unprincipled tyrant. As it to clear that many of the acta of those commanders, such as the one referred to, find no warrant in the laws of reconstruction, and their faithful execution, the conclusion to that they are not actuated by the principle which should gov ern mMiert in command, but prostitute their of- flcee to do the work of party, and become Indeed only mere Radical emissaries Their purpose as developed by such acts to not to reconstruct the Union, hut to build up and perpetuate the Radi cal party. < Ae p means to this end they abuse the high trust reposed in them by the Govern ment, by interfering with the choice of the elec tors, and by Axing, by their note, the institutions of the States In advance of their conventions, so as they cannot be changed when these shall as semble. No more Important question to to be solved than the qualifications of our fotura ju rare. It to perhaps the most solemn to be con sidered, tor it concerns the purity of the waters in the very, fountains of justice, and aflecu the people in their most sacred private rights, from tbe highest to the lowest, from the richest to the poorest, and should be left to their calm and care ful consideration, uninfluenced by any power whatever. But what to the truth? It is that these com manders are giving such directions to the means of reconstruction ss insures the accomplishment ot their will, Instead of that of the people.— When the conventions come to net, they will find that negroes are already jurors, and have been so tor from one to “live years,” and they oanqot.turu. them out of the Jury box without producing MflyfrinM excitement, and this they will forbear to do although tbe judgment ot a majority may be In Its tovor. Akin to this, and a part of the same bad spirit, is the order touch ing official advertisements. First, ell State offi cers are forbidden to apeak against reconstruc tion, although bolding office does not change their states as voters, and to all the voters is ac corded freedom of choice. Then they must give all their patronage to the press ot the political party who aeetph the plan of reconstruction, aod to no otbere. Thus military/oree to used to “abridge the freedom ol the press and of speech,” guaranteed by tbe United State* Constitution, and recognized by the acts ot reconstruction.— The press who have opposed reconstruction are punished for so doing, and those who cannot sur vive without official patronage are suppressed— As to these, Gen. Pope might as well have sent a file of men to take possession of the press aad materials, end to olose up the office. The differ ence is as to the means of suppressing, not as to the principle. Thus we see that the officers oi a free constitutional republic ere administering their departments upon the principles of military despotism, as practiced by absolute monarchical Russia. What p combined paradox and horror I Every negro is a ready-made instrument, in the hand* of our enemies, to be used for the tor ture of thq whites in every variety of way that cunning can devise. These acts are, in General Pope, inconsistent end absurd, for be believes the only reconstruction to bo obtained to the reconstruction ot Tennessee—and to that he is opposed, end so ought any sensible man to be. And so will any reconstruction he, based upon the disfranchisement of the moat virtuous and intelligent, and the enfranchisement of the most vicious and ignorant. It Is simply the inaugu ration, by fundamental law, ot eternal etrfe and discord. Such necessarily becomes the leading permanent institution of the new governments.

A few years before the advent of the wicked rebellion, a Mexican with hto wife, a beautiful daughter, and two strong, bold sons, moved into this little valley in which to situated the cave, and in a most secluded spot at the foot of the mountain he built him a stone house, and what was suspicions about it, was ito fortress like appearance, there being loop-holes at differ ent point* As time went by the owner of this stone dwelling made himself pop ular in this neighborhood by his liberality and his general refinement; hto daughter was the fairest flower of tbe valley of tho “Helotea/’ and hto sons and himself fine specimens of the Mexi can cavalero, and they seemed well off.

At last they were indicted, when numer ous stories of mysterious murders were told In connection with the stealing raid* They eluded all search. During the rebellion the matter was dropped; but the boys were hunted by con script officers but managed to keep hid in the hills near their fortress.

A Sad Qatabtbofhb.—As a public Journalist, we are compelled this morning to chronicle one of the most heart-rending disasters that, we think, has ever happened in Savannah, and which has laid waste the happiness of a home and family. Miss Daley, a young lady aged from sixteen to eighteen years, the daughter of Mr. Michael Da ley, one of our oldest citizens, accompanied her father North some time sinoe, and while there was called back by the serious illnem of her sis ter, who resides la this city. Tsaving her fether at New York, she took passage on the steamer Herman Livingston, which, after a safe voyage, amved here last nignt About nine o'clock. Mum Daley, young, and impatient nodonbt to greet her relatives, was among the lint to start, unaid ed and alone, to cross the gang plank, which in the darkness afforded but precarious tooting even to thoee who were practiced, and had experience of its dangers. When about midway between the vessel and the wharf, her feet slipped, and wlthont n cry she fell Into the dark water be neath, which wm rushing up with the force of a flood tide, and sustained for a moment by her clothing, carried her towards the stem or the vesee), when she sunk without rising again. Out of a crowd on tho wharf, not one could be found breve enough to risk ikeir life to save the drown ing girl—n sad commentary on the selfishness ot human nature. Her shawl and bonnet, we believe, were recov ered, and at the hour we write, efforts are being made, with drags, to find her body.—Savannah Republican, id inetaiU.
