SAVANNAH, SATURDAY, MAY 18. 1866. CHARMS .OF RURAL, LIFE, ITlie May number of De Bow's Review contains the exquisite poem by Wm. J.

The New York Tribune presents to its readers tho following table, "showing the efTeot of the proposed amendment to tho Constitution upon the Congres sional representation of the slave States:” “A new census would probably somewhat modify ihese figures. The loss of life in the late war is not introduced because the amount is unknown; nor is the migration of the black race consequent upon free dom. But we believe the result will be substantially as we state it below. The lirst column gives the population of the slave States in 1800, taken from the United States census; the second column the voters in 1860; the third col umn presents the number of male citizens of color ah.,ve t ho ago of 21; tho fourth column, the present number of members each State is entitled to, and the last the number to which she will be entitled when v PRATT, IS.
