Till, body WAS H» W<rg cut *li a
cotmnlcraMe Amount of work, in re<mrd
to tk< South, anil the prawnt indicwtim*
air that thin work will not be oomph-tod
until the close of the session. It m-outs
singular that, with such An overwhelm
ing majority m , both brain.lies of the
National Legislature, the Radicals
should Hesitate to carry out their pro
gramme to the lulluot extent. "e
really believe that i( is their intention to
do AO; but various eiren instances mai
arise to induce them to modify their
action eery to isnlrmUy. At ill events,
we hope so.
On Monday last, hills were introduced
And referred, which were ol a more
moderate character; and, at the some
time, it iaaiMionncad, tkat the confute*-
ting fever is abating. Ibis is gratifying,
and it is to bo hoped, is only the pre
cusser of more liberal And generous
policy toward the South.
The conciliatory tone of the Presi
dent's Message has, doubtless, had a
good effect upon the Congress ; and, it
the Sooth will ouly be patient and con
servative in its act.ou, good may result
yet. Let ns not lose faith yet iu the
good sense of the American people.
Rich. —The following dispatch, which
we Sod iu the New York Associated
Press papers, shows to what straits they
are reduced in order to make a little
capital:
I.OVISVILI.K SCFFERINO FOR WANT OP
NEWS.
Lovisvili.s, Ky., Pec. fi. —Since the
Louisville press announced themselves
iu favot of the bogus Craig Association*
we hear many complaints from inteili
gent citizens and business men of the
meagerness ol the telegraphic reports.
Now.directty the reverse of this is the
truth. Since the Western and Southern
Press cut loose from the New York
Press and set up for themselves, the
character of the reports has so vastly
improved, and they are so much more
full and comprehensive and in every
way so much better than our old reports)
that we and our readers are delighted at
the change. It is aufheient to say that
the Louisville press now publishes, every
morning, more, fuller and better reports,
and from a great many more points,
than the boastful New York papers.
But their bag of wiud is punctured, the
people see and their readers understand
it, and they very naturally felt sore at
their .discomfiture. —Louisville (Ay.)
Courier.
History op the Confederate Navy.
—One of the editors of the Mobile
Tribune is endeavoring to collect mate
rial for the purpose of writing a history
ol the Confederate Navy. He requests
all late officers of that branch of the
Confederate service, and others connect
ed with it, as well as officers of the
United States Navy, to send to the
Tribune office whatever information ther
possess on the subject.
The editor referred to in the above,
savs:
The service performed hy the late
Confederate Navy was small compared
with that done by our glorious army;
but when we consider that the number
ot men employed in the navy did not
exceed that of a full brigade of the army ;
and that the sailor can do nothing with
out the help of the ship right, we shall
see that the deeds of our little navy are
worthy of being put on record—worthy
the nation that ntl.ied en nujsxe to the
standard of Johnston, Lee and Beaure
gard. By this brigade of .Southern sea
men we saw accomplished the battles by
the Merrimac, the Albemarle and the
Tennessee; the cruises of the Alabama,
the Florida, the Georgia, the Shenan
doah, etc., and the daring expeditions of
M nod, Pelot and “faconey” Head. The
writer of this wishes to embody the histo
ry of the whole in a brief aud simple
narrative.
E.vousn Workmen-.— “An operative
who knows what it is to have the
screws put on him,” makes a curious
statement as illustrating the coercive
power of the working-men's aseocia
tions of England :
“For myself, and such of my fellows
as I could name, if I durst, 1 inay truth
fully avow, that we would not give six
pence for the right to vote, knowing
well that we would stand as much
chance of being allowed to exercise it
freely at an election as we have of
using our discretion in joining or with
holding onrselves from a strike in our
trade. A word aliont that. Let a
skilled workman, with a wife aud family
depeudaut upon his exertions, receive
notice that unless he conforms to the
laws of the So-and-so strike, he will be
looked on as a ‘black sheep,’ and
dealt with acceordingly, and where is
his independence? Why sir, it is a
mockery and a shame to talk about it.
We hold out, perhnps, fox a time and
then down go onr names and we join.
Some, perhaps, even of the better in
structed among us, may think that this
is all right ; but what I maintain is,
that we have no option given us of de
claring onr rest opinions. We must
yield to numbers.”^
