In regard to the blacks, the President says they will find work enough, and for many years to come probably better remuneration than any other class of agricultural laborers 1 in the country. The competition of capital ists and landowners will insure good treat ment and good pay from the planters. That there will be much disorder is to be expected; but there will, be no more than there would be at the North were the number of black laborers sufficiently numerous to enter into serious rivalry with the white laborers. The President is confident that nothing can be safely and permanently done in re gard to restoring the currency, diminishing taxation, and establishing the prosperity of the country on a sound aod enduring basis until representatives from all the States are present in Congress. The idea of legislating for one-third of the population of the coun try, and passing constitutional amendments without allowing them any voice in this mat ter, or paying any attention to their wishes, is full of danger to the tuture peace and wel fare of the nation. They cannot be treated as a subjugated people or as vassal colonies without a germ of hatred being introduced, which will some day or other, though the time may be distant, develop mischief of the most serious character. With regard to the basis of representation, he denounces this as a mere bugbear. It cannot and it will not be permanently set tled until all the States are represented, and no increase in the number of representatives in consequenoe of the emancipation of the slaves can in any event occur until the cen sus of 1870 is taken, until which time of course the three-tifths provision is in force under the last census. There is, therefore, ample time to settle this matter between now and 1870, and it is unwise to agitate it until other matters which cannot bo delayed are settled. The President does not admit that he has been inconsistent. He is as much opposed to treason and traitors as ever he was, and for punishing them severely. But there is no treason and no traitors now. The enemy has fully and fairly surrendered and is pow erless, and a foe thus situated should be magnanimously treated. A generous and self-reliant warrior always restores his dis armed enemy his sword and trusts his parole of honor. The idea of muzzling the press and tying the tongues of the people of the South, after the manner of the suspicious tyrants and the Holy Inquisition of the Old World, he de nounces as absurd. A people should be al lowed to grumble who have suffered so much, and they would be unworthy the name of men if they did not respect the brave officers who have suffered with them, and honor the mem ory of their gallant dead who sleep on a hun dred battle-fields around their homes.

[From the Cincinnati Inquirer, July 24.] At the opening of' the Kenton County Court, of Kentucky, yesterday morning, the remarkable case of the heirs of Prof. W. Byrd Powell against Prof. A. T. Keckeler, was called up for a final hearing. It will not be forgotten that the late Professor Powell had bequeathed his head to Professor Keck eler, and that tbe latter gentleman, after the demise of his friend and preceptor, proceeded to possess himself of the strange token of friendship, the same to be used for scientific purposes. This singular suit has terminated for the present, unless the heirs bring a civil suit for real or imaginary damages. When the case was read from the docket by His Honor, Judge Shaw, Mr. John Car lisle announced that his client tor the defense was in court, ready for trial—that the wit nesses were also present, and the celebrated will wouitt be offered as testimony, it was now discovered that the lawyer for the pros <tecution was absent, and that the witnesses were also non est. . The first trial in this case came ofl tn Juno last, on which occasion the lawyer for the prosecution made a speech, full ol sound and fury, in which Prof. Keckeler was denounced as having violated the sacred soil of Ken-' tucky by exhuming a dead body and remov ing the head of the same. On the present occasion, the chivalrous son ot the soil failed to come to time, and tbe case went by de fault. —, . , The will of the testator was offered In evi dence, and on its being satisfactorily identi fied, was ordered by His Honor, Judge Shaw, to be probated. Prof. A. T-_ Keckeler, of Cincinnati, therefore still retains possession of the head of the esteemed instructor and friend of his manhood. This is certainly one of the most remarkable trials that ever came off in this country. One professor of high science bequeathing his head to another pro fessor, to be used for scientific purposes, and the family of the deceased bringing suit for the recovery ot the missing member aud get ting non-suited, certainly belongs to the ro mantic in the literature of law.

Advertiser sajts: . — tvanuvt »W|B a Gen. Howard t has received voluminous reports .contenting the craelties practised by Mrs. Henry Abrahams, of King Williams county, Virginia, npon her servants. The matter came to.light through investigation set on foot about h month ago. The reports show that on tbe second of June a frefccl-giil named Martha Anne, aged. seventeen, was brought toaiibspital at Richmond. The sur geon stateg that there were upon her body seven uffiirs, all th^result of burns, and all produced wtihin two or three weeks. The largest was nearly two inches in diameter. In addition to these, her entire body was al4 most covered witii scars,’ some old and some coveredjWith recent scales, some the result of burns, and some the result of whipping. She had been so abused that she Was scarcely able to give expression to an intelligent idea. The investigation made before the Judge- Advocate at Richmond proved that this mon ster, lbs. Abrahams, whom halLof The law yers of the city volunteered to defend, has within the last tew years been the cause of tbe death ot four oi her negro servants. An extract from tbe report is subjoined: t “ ‘Lucy Richardson, mother of the girl taken to the hospital, has been made .'blind of one eye, and has been scarred in thethroat with a hot iron. Five of the children of said Lucy Richardson, named Martha Anne and Marv Ellen, twins, aged sixteen, George, aged nine, Francis aged eleven, and Robert, aged seven'and a half years, have on many different occasions each'of them been placed in a nude state before the fire until Iheirfecks Loudon Quarterly Review, in the manufacto- were actually broiled, and then whippecL nes to which these children were consigned, with a birch rod on the back until it was raw, ■ xvas frightful. The machinery in some es- when strong salt and pepper water was rubbed on, and they were whipped again. Francis died in February, 1866, from injuries received at tbe bands of said Mrs. Abrahams by being stamped upon. Tbe children, while being tortured had their feet and hands bouud, and were bucked to keep them from struggling or resisting. The house would be closed while they were beiog burned and whipped, but then their cries would be heard a long way. They would often faint away, and Mrs. Abrahams would continue to strike them with a poker, saying, ‘ ‘ You’re dead, are you? I’ll make you catch your breath.” After the punishment they could not lie nor sit down, and had to stand up a number of consecutive days and nights. Before the children recovered from their injuries Mrs. Abrahams would sear them with hot coals or with a hot iron. She never had a servant without scars from her hands, and never did torture. “ ‘Sarah Dandridge, milkmaid, was told to get all the milk she could in time for a dancing party, and because she did not an swer soon enough, Mrs. Abrahams tortured her to such an extent that she drowned her : selt in the creek. “ ‘Eliza Hill was beat over the head with an iron poker, and pieces of flesh were cut from her headland face with a knife, by Mrs. Abrahams, until she became blind iu both eyes. She afterwards died from these in juries.’ ” A t.aily’ii Vl»it lo Jllount Vesuvius. An English woman who ascended Vesu vius in June, writes the following accouut of her adventure: “We started from Sorrento, slept at. Cas- tellamare, aud set out from there at six A. M., and drove to Resina, where wc mounted horses, and proceeded to climb a very broken and occasional steep staircase to the Hermit age. The ascent required firm fault in one’s steed, and to beep in the saddle involved a terrible strain on one’s back. At the Her mitage we refreshed ourselves, and then toiled on another hour through immense fields of lava—the deposits of the eruptions of ’68—which brought us to the veritable foot of tbe mountain. Here began the real tng of war. Mrs. was seated in a chair with four bearers ; but the rest of us did tbe ascent on foot with the help of alphenstocks and guides. It was trying work, but I was fortunate enough to get the assistance of two guides, one of whom went before with a strap, to which I held fast. We were three- quarters of an hour during this part of the climb; and as it was very hot. It was fortu nate in one respect, that the day was rather clondy. “Our view, however, was not so perfect as it would have been on a brighter day; but we had, through "breaks in the clouds, glimpses of the vast plain beneath, and in it Pompeii restored to daylight.. Vesuvius was rather excited, and there were low rumblings, va ried every two minntes with’ an outburst of i lb* Richmond Times.] >r of the Innocents" seems tp The Scriptures ore still printed by the English Bible Society lit we know not how many hundred languages, $phfTe there are hundreds of thousands of brutalized Anglo-Saxon boys and girls tthdwe^s ignorant, of the divine truths of the Christian religion as are tbe young Brusbjpen Van Dieman’s Land. These lerribleilaCU have just been commu nicated to the. pablic by certain Commis sioners appointe»by Parliament to “inquire into the employment of children and young persons in trades and manufactures not al ready regulated by law.’’ The report em- braces the result ot tbe labors of the Com missioners during the years 1863, 1864, 1866, and a part of the present year. Nothing can, therefore, be more truth!ul and receDt than these reports. The state- meats of the Commissioners are calm, dis passionate. impartial and unprejudiced. Tbe picture which they paint of tbe horrors of white iiotavery are-iafiuitely worse than the jictums of Abolition writera like Mrs. Stowe. Negro slavery, in its most hideous forms, was never halt as abominable as tbe slavery of infants in England. " With the abolition of the slave trade in the colonies a new traffic sprung up in tbe mother country. To supply the vast manu facturing establishments with victims of ten der years, “child jobbers” have for years tra versed England, Scotland and Wales, pur chasing children from their parents and sell ing them again intd worse than Egyptian bondage. The consumption ol human life, says the strikers, and a little giii of el|bt, occasion- , ally relieved by a still younger one of six, . was workin^the heHows. The gross earn ings of this man amounted to two guineas per. week. It may be doubted wfc4Mf the W odd could now produce a more revolting instance of parental oppression than the spectacle of these two young girls, whoee little bands wonld have been appropriately employed in hemming a kerchief or working a sampler, begrimed with tbe smoke, stHyd with the heat, and stunned with the din of a smithy, wielding sledge-hammers and*fo”ging iron chains from morning till night. A single irf- stacce of oppression has often had a fester effect in rousing indignation than the moat powerful denunciation of a general wrong. The picture of these 1 itile.Staffordkhire girls thus unseated by an itffperions freknuster, and that taskmaster their parent, Is well adapted to expose for universal reprobation a system under which such anenormity couM be possible, and to prove the necessity of Im mediate legislative interference.” ” ' e ' We might fill every page of to-day*6 issue of the Tiroes with illustrations of slave’ life in England as horrible, as those which we have gathered (tom the reports of the.Com mission in qiihktion, bnt we forbear. The mental and moral condition of hundreds of tbousaods-of these poor English cbiidreu is proved by the Commissioners to be not a whit -better than that of young Bfottentotar Tbe most brutal slaveholder of the South never treated the young slaves npon bis plan tation with one-tenth of tbe cruelty with Which more than & million of English fathers treat their children. The writers of sensational fables about “Af rican slavery at tbe South’’ never imagined any thing half as bad in connection with “negro slavery^.” as this horrible servitude of English infants. The brutality of the ne- grophitlsts to their own children has no par allel in the history of the. institution witii -Which they waged so long and snccesslul a war. frightful. Tbe machinery tablUhments never stood still. One set of children was worked by day and another by night. Tbe laws of nature were wholly dis regarded, and hundreds of the most sensitive anti helpless of beings were used up annually by lUeit* remorseless task-masters, only to have their places filled by fresh victims. Efforts have again and again been made to check this wholesale infanticide, but the report of the Commissioners show that these efforts have pot been jucceaafuL They state in their report that they have discovered in stances iu which children have gone to work at three years of age, that many began at five, and that in many instances they were re quired to labor sixteen and eighteen hours a day. In many instances the more savage anil merciless task-masters of these poor in fants were their own parents. The Comnfisson with whose statements we are dealing has made four reports, which are a day pass that some servant did not receive ^exhaustive of the whole subject. They/fur nish a vast mass of evidence as to the fearful abuses which exist in the employment of children in many of the leading manufac tories of England. Tuey treat in one of their reports of the employment of children of ten der years in the manufacture of earthenware, lueiter matches, percussion caps, paper mtrkiug, pen making, Ac. In a single dis trict iu England there were 4,605 children between the ages of five and ten years of age who were engaged in manufacturing coarse earthenware, one of the most unhealthy of occupations. The mortality among these successful party an exhibition of magnanior- red-hot lava thrown up about twenty feet. This continued during the whole tu*fo_we1 ^^SlrtioBswas^the*fact“thaTthe parents"<if children was excessive. In one district, ont of 1,120 deaths, 470, or upwards of forty- three per cent, occurred within the first year, and 149, or thirteen per eeBt., before the fifth year of life ; making a total of 619 deaths, or fifty-five per cent, of children under five years of age. In this district young girls and boys were kept at work for sixteen liours a day in crowded and ill-ventilated rooms. Iu the rooms where boys were kept attending to the ovens, the thermometer rose iu one of them to one hundred end thirty de grees, and in fanothex to one hundred and forty-eight. In the third the thermometer burst from the’intensity of the heat. The Commissioners report that the boys were kept in constant motioq throughout the dtfv, each carrying from thirty to fifty dozen moulds into the stoves, and remaining in them long enough to take the dried earthen ware away. The distance thus run by a boy in the course of a day of not more than ordi nary work- was estimated at seven miles. From the very nature of this exhausting oc cupation children were rendered pale, weak and unhealthy. Iu the depth of winter, with the thermometer in the open air sometimes below zero, boys, with little clothing but rags, might be seen running to and fro on errands, or to their dinners, with the per spiration standing on their foreheads, “ after laboring for hours like little slaves.” The inevitable result of such transitions of tem perature were consumption, ■ asthma and acute inflammation. The number of children employed in the exhausting labor 61 monld- rnnjung was found by the last census to be 1,850. The most painful portion of these were there. Mr. L. says that the oral totally different from what it was two yearn ago. It is much less deep, and seems to have been filled in far more than it wa^.aud to be still filling. When quite full there will, F suppose, be another great eruption. In spite of the horrible appearance of the crater, with its patches of sulphurous smoke, three of us determined to go down into it. We scrambled down through a quantity of loose small lava about thirty feet, and at each step we sank up to oiup kitees, and seemed to find •no footing. It Meemed as if we should‘be buried by the rubble that we set in motion abotnjS. That perii, bad as it was, was no thing-compared to tbe danger of suffocation by the horrible sulphurous steam. The air, too, was frightfully hot, and in many places we could not stand for more than half a minute, so scorching was the ground beneath our feet. The whole surface of the bottom of the crater was like a stormy sea that had been petrified, while through cracks we could see the lava glowing red-hot only a few inches below us, and the fiery red contrasting start lingly with the dense blackness everywhere else around us. We had sometimes to take a bold luap from one rock to another, as the lava gave way beneath us, and threatened to let us through into this nether furnace. I tore my dress sorely by the sharp rocks, and cut and burnt my boots to pishes. Bo Much for Vesuvius. • • ' -* - ‘ -.children themselves were generally the b-masters who imposed this slavery upon their- offspring. Fathers were even found who scrupled not to employ their little daughters of from eight to ten year? of age in running* for a whole day ip and out of those heated furnaces. f . The practice of dipping the earthenware into a mixture of borax, soda, potash and carbonate of lead for glazing it, was also found to be followed by the most fatal con sequences. The clothes of the workers were constantly saturated with a poisonous com pound. which produced paralysis and epilep sy in adults, and epilepsy in children. By constantly handling the pieces of earthen ware the fingers of children became so deli cate 'and sensitive that they bled on the slightest abrasion, and the process of ab sorbing of the poison was thus more certain and rapid. .y , In other branches of manufacture they re port the sufferings of the childrea as equally frightful. Tbs manufacture of lucifer match es produces one of the most painful and loath some diseases which ever afflicted humanity.

It appears that a young married lady placed her sleeping infant—a little cherub three months old—in a cradle and left the room. Five or ten minutes afterwards she heard a piercing shriek from the little inno cent, and immediately rushed to its side. She arrived in time to see a large rat jump from the cradle and escape through the open door. Upon raising the infant she found it cold in death, the rat having bitten through the cheek, producing spasms, in one of which the babe had died. The. corpse was laid out in the parlor, wad being left unguarded a few minutes, a swarm of rats entered and attacked it,.devouring nearly the equire face and arms before their presence was discov ered. The house in question is literally swarmed with large, ravenous Norway rats, which fosquentiy? attack, grown persons, and are a source of terror to the occupants. —The oomidktion of ProT- ^ 0 !- Jobajon, of Georgia, to a foreign missioil was rejected by the Senate. v-f'L A lady at Atalanta, a few days ago, poisoned three sick children, giving them laudanum, supposing it paregoric. Before the mistake was discovered, they wore too far gone save their lives. The lady is rich, and these children would have been her heirs. ’ Foal play is believed to have occurred, and sus picion rests on a young man, a distant rela tive of the lady,, to whom her property will He is thought to have, changed the bottle of paregoric *for laudanum, know proof, however, exists strong enough to justify hi* arrest Philadelphia Age. consequences. - . . .

We are permitted to make the following extract from a letter addressed to a distin guished Georgian iu this city, by a gentle man uow residing in New York, well and fa vorably known in Atlanta, his home for many years and until recently. We do go on account of the souudnees of his view*, and his excellent advice, in regard to the “National Union Convention,” and the im portance of Georgia, being represented in that body. The letter is dated the 18th in stant : “Since writing you this morning on a lit tle matter of business, I have thought it not improper to address you on £ subject of grave ’ importance, and of common in terest not only lo us but to the whole coun try as well. I allude to tbe Philadela- phia Convention of the 14th proximo. I do not know your sentiments, or indeed those of my other personal friends in Georgia, but I have regretted to see so much apathy exhibited in regard to so Im portant a question, and I learn that in some quarters there is a decided opposition to any participation in the Convention.— You will understand that I sympathize with and respect these feelings, for I have told you that I never expected to take an interest in politics again, that I- thought it better to throw the entire responsibility of conducting the government upon the hands of tbe dominant party.

DIVIDENDS ity, aud a display of justice which the lire and prompt surrender of the Southern issue demanded. Unhappily this expecta tion has uot been realized, aud reqeut mani festations iu Washington indicate the adop tion of a policyot the most threatening char acter, making it proper, in mv judgment, for the South to unite upon lair and digni fied terms with the moderate men of all sec tions, in an earnest effort to sustain this Pres ident, and carry out the policy which he has inaugurated. It may now, I think, be safely assumed that tbe radicals intended: 1st. Tqdoad the South with onerous tax? aliou, Ivy taxing cotton, tariff*, Ac. - 2d. To force upon you negro suffrage 3d. To retain control of the patronage of the government. 4th. Under any circumstances to keep tbe Soncb in a territorial condition until after the next Presidential election. And I think it may be assumed that if the Conservative paity can be kept disorganized, and a strong Radical majority secured, an effort will be made in the next Congrefu to impeach the President, and perhapsTnaaga- rate a sweeping system of confiscation against the South. , . Uudoubtedly there -is a very large body of ‘' votes North and West opposed to the wild and unjust policy, but they aiRL.powerless because disorganized. I have; however, every reason to believe that they ate prepared to meet the Southern people upon fair and reasonable terms; and I believe a platform of principles can be adopted, upon which all good men can stand without dishonor. I would not have Jbe South compromise ’ her dignity in the slightest degree; but ity on 1 select wise, aud mbderate delegates, who shall demand admittance, qpon exactld the same terms as those from Ohio and New York, I must believe that .good will result. The Southern delegations conld, of coarse, retire if measures should be proposed incon sistent with, their rights or honor, and in that event the Sonth wonld be no worse off than she now is. It seeiqa to me that the Teasnn- abie prospect of organizing a strong party to holl the radicals in check, to sustain the President, and to give the .country justice and quiet, demtyjds of the South to rise above all feeling, and while sacrificing no principle, make one more manly effort for their rights. As I write, we get tbe news of the great meeting in Reading Pennsylvania, which is a step in the right direction. Let us meet advances in a quiet but pandid.way; unless some common ground of qnion and effort can be found and occupied, the future is in deed gloomy and almost hopeless."-^Atlanta Jnteltfienee. . , ;i . „, Horned Rattlesnakes.—As a measentoof the Panranagat expedition and a specimen of the reptiles pertaining to tbe hitherto- 4b- known desert regions of the southern portion oi California, a queer species of raltlsaushe was captured and brought iu from Death Valley, which is now in possession of Rev.

The snake is about a foot long, of a dark brown color, havii^ only two rattles oh his tail, while his head is adbrued with a pair ot horns about half an inch in length, formed of »~fle*by suhstsace, and somewhat resembling those semi on a horned toad.
