On the morning of the 16th; we entered
one of the most cleanly and comfortable cars
it has been onr' good fortune" to occupy in
some time, and were a little surprised at this
state of things, until greeted by that prince
of conductors, Mu Lunsford, who has been
so favorably know* 1 in this capacity for sev
eral years. If a man so far forbot hitnself as
to spit on the floor, 6 broom, vr as ipypediately

seemed tobeon board fAr no otlrtgpnrposc,

decency, plead with to abandohTjpe filthy

The all-absorbing topic oa^tbejlain was
the eclipse, and we heard one innoifent look
ing old lady inquire if it would (ftuse any
stoppage of the train, as she wqs , i$,a hurry
to reach her destination. Smoked glasses
wene profuse at the different-stations, but not
so on the train, and the condhctor thought'
he had discovered- a’n ! -incendiary, when at
one ti^ne lie found a darkey in n certain part
of the coach, witli’a torch-light, trying to
smoke the window-glass.. But the most ludi
crous arrangement W saw fori viewing the
eclipse was a piece of’glass, with a covering of
(lark cloth which had a hole in tlie centre for
looking through. 1 We; leave it, to philos
ophers to decide whether or not that wasjpro-
tection to the eye.
A considerable trade was carried, oh (luring

notwithstanding the remonstrances of ’the
conductor, some of both sexes persisted in

From Mississippi.
New. York, Oct- 23.--The Herald’s Jack-
son, Mississippi, correspondent, presents an
unfavorabl e state of affairs.
The State legislature, which met last Mon
day, has some difficult work before it, the
worst of which is probably, the revocation
of State ordinances, which were in a shocking
condition.
The debt of the commonwealth is iarge,
and though many of the people favored a
second resort to repudiation; it is thought
that Mississippi has had enough of this, and
will not try it again, except so fur as regards
that portion of her indebtedness contracted
to assist the Confederacy, all of which it is
believed Will be ignored. b» n.
Another knotty question with which the
members will have to deal is that relating to
the • admission of negro Testimony in the
courts, i Amajorify of them are said- to be
in flavor of Governor Sharkey, who insists
upoh the position of United States ‘ Senator,
and: Joy their choosing as State printer a gen
tleman who favors it. These are only two of
the j difficulties which this legislature will
have to wrestle with. r .j- r
As industry generally .throughout .the State
has been paralyzed. by the war, there is a
great lack of the native energy necessary to
resustitate a better condition of things. Some
practical but cruel jqkcs are being perpetra
ted ion (ho MissRsjppi negros, with the story
that on Christmas day the . government in
tends to give each one of them a tract of
land, and hence many of them refuse to en
ter into contracts with the planters for a pe
riod -extending-beyond that time.

From North Carolina.
New York, Oct.23,-—-The JTereiJeVs Raleigh
correspondent says of the North Carolina Con
vention: ni”' ■ If . .. •
A singular announcement was made by the
chairman to ; thc effect that after diligent
search, lie was unable to procure a national
flag to hoist over the Capitol, and had to send
to New York for one.
The timely receipt of a telegram from Pres
ident Johnson, says that' North Carolina
should at once repudiate qvery dollar of in-
deptedness contracted to assist the rebellion,
and prevented the staying off by secession of
members, a vote on tlie ordinance completely
ignoring that dept, as they had tlieir plans
already laid for the purpose, but upon readr
ing the President’s dispatch, the ordinance
was taken up and passed amid great cheering
and enthusiasm, there being but a few dissent
ing votes, -a mil ' ' • //.
The proposed amendment, to submit to a
vote of the people was not adopted.
The ordinance which was not passed for the
organization in some of the counties of S
military force to suppress outlawry, has, it is
understood, the approval of the national
military authorities.
‘ Resolutions were adopted., requesting the
president to restore to the people of North
Carolina all their old constitutional rights,
and remove the military and transfer the poto-
ers to the civil authorities. 1)1
Emigration to the South.
The Washington Constitutional Union of
the 20th inst., speaks thus of foreign emigra
tion to the South, and its effects upon the
country: .
The tide of foreign emigration has poured
[its first wave upon the South in the shape of
a number of Danes, ; wIio entered Virginia rc-
cently td make I that:’commonwealth their fu
ture jipme;; We are rejoipefl to see this. The
white population of Virginia is small, and,
through the effects of the late war, has been
uery much reduced. At no time was it as
large as the actual necessities of the case de
manded. The resources of this State are far
superior in number and availability of devel
opment to any other State, in the Union, and
hitherto they have scarcely been touched.—
The mineral wealth of the State far exceeds
any other—the soil is most admirably adapt
ed for cultivation, and is exceedingly fertile,
while water power for manufactories, and tbe-
fihest harbors for commercial purposes on this *
continent combine-to render Virginia one of
the most favored spots on earth. Population
only is wanted to use these advantages. •
The emigsation to the South will also-settle
finally that much mooted question, what shall
be done with the negro 7 It is clear to those
who have studied the negro etbnologically
that he and the Caucassian race cannot
livo in the same society upon even politi
cal, much less social equality.. If the whites
are numerically equal or superior, the ne
gro is cither enslaved or exterminated.—
In this case lie will be exterminated.' He
will -be driven out ofithe country. Buch
wiil be his, fata, and that here and there can
be found one superior in stamina of charac
ter or force of intellect to the great body of
tbe race will not affect the general result,—
Encourage emigration and we get rid of the
negro. Let the Southern people persevere in
this good work so begun, and a few years will
reward the. effort by the prosperity and suc
cess which.will be so splendidly achieved.
Massachusetts and Crime.—The frequen
cy of murders of the most unnatural and hor
rid character in Massachusetts, is hut tho le
gitimate result of the infernal fanaticisms of
which that State has been the prolific and
debauched mother. Wives poisoning and
cutting the throats of their husbands—hus
bands murdering their wives by the most
subtle as well as diabolical mcaur.—infidelity,
shameless, open and secret, to the bonds oi'
matrimony by both—children murdered by
parents, and parents by children—women
and girls ravished and murdered within
sight of cities and public thoroughfares—
burglary, robbery, incendiarism, and the
whole catalogue of inferior crimes, make
up the devilish veDgcance that has
overtaken a people, who, from the first
settlements upon this continent, have^een
the lean .and lank; vigilant and never-tiring
promulgators of fanaticism, disturbers of
peace and public virtue, and ungenerous,
cruel, unforgiving tyrants, whose chief delight
has seemed to be only to destroy that wTiich
is peaceful and good to all men, to rob their
neighbor of everything which a well dispos
ed community may justly value, and to sow
discord, contention, strife and ill-will where-
ever their deviltry could be made effective.
But recently, at Dedham, Massachusetts, a
wife arose at night and first shot and killed
her daughter, then her husband, and then
herself- The usual Puritan plea of insanity
is set up—-a plea thatmight save the necks of
the Massachusetts fanatical Puritans.—JVeie

A Return to Specie Payment.—The
Washington correspondent of the Boston
Traveler comments thus upon the prospect of
a return to specie payment:
“Upon the gold question. Mr. McCulloch
will have a word to sav one of these days.—
Ho did not attempt to’ conceal his opinions 1
and purposes. Tie means to bring the* coun
try liack .to the .specie basis and a redeemablo
currency. He is doubtless aware of the op
position he will meet with in congress from
the speculators, but the great iuterests of a
nation are not to be sacrificed to the selfish
ness, of a few individuals.; It is an important
and significant fact that the leading hankers of
the country urge the secretary to contract the
currency rather than to extend in Jay Cooke,
the eminent financial agent of the govern
ment (in the sale of its loans) advocates a
speedy resumption of specie 'payments—that
is-within a year from this time. Very much
depends upon congress, but the secretary of
the.tre^ary. will be very decided in his re
commendations on this subject. The presi
dent is with him most heartily, I hear, on the
question of making the paper currency re
deemable in coin.
pgf* The telegraph department of the Rus
sian government has fixed the condition up
on which the lines across that country may be
put up. The government grants the exclu
sive right to the Company for the transmis
sion of dispatches between Russia and Ameri
ca for thirty-three years, and grants them an
allowance of forty per cent, on the net pro
duce of all dispatches.
ET TheWirz trial, it is estimated, will
cost the government at least one hundred
thousand dollars.
