The Uegroca at We*t Point
The Washington correspondent of the
Now, York £w», writing to that paper
under date of June29ih, writes : 4 *It te
finally settled, beyond all question, that
we are to have a negro cad^t at West
Point, as James William Smith, the cob
ored boy from Colombia, S. C., has pass
ed the examination and gone into comp
■with his white comrades. The feeling on
this subject at West Point,and all through
the country has become intense. The of
ficers and professors at West Point do
not express their feelings froely, but prop
erly maintain a discreet official reticence
upon tbo exasperating question. Not so
the cadets, however. They are outspok
en ; and their feelings, ns expressed to
oar reporter before the result of the ex
amination was known, were so deop and
solemn as to seem comical.
Michael Howard, tho unsuccessful Mis
sissippi mulatto, has gone to Washington,
where he will enter the Howard Univer
sity and prepare for another trial at West
Point next year. There are other colored
boys in that institution who are striving
for the same object, and tho probability
is that there will be enough negro cadets
in the Military Academy next year to
keep ono another in countenance. This
is very desirable for them, as one black
cadet among so many white ones must
have a critical time of it, Wo learned
tliatit is tho determination of Smith 1 !
classmates to make him so uncomfortable
that he will be forced to resign. They
are laying their plans with the utmost
hcartlcssncss. They say they will run
him off of guard, take his gun from him,
deluge him with slops, call him names,
ostracise him in every way, and drive
him from the Academy.

C*8* The careful correspondent at Cai
ro of the Cincinnati Commercial writes to
i hat paper as follows : “ It is now general
ly conceded by all the steamboatmen who
haye given tlie subject much thought
that the Mississippi river, from New Or
leans to St. Louis, is about tbe same
length at the end of every fivo or six
years; and the fact is explained as fol
lows: During that time every bend in
tho river has lengthened a little, some
very much, by the constant caving oi the
banks. This, of course, makes the river
longer. But at intervals of about five
years’s average, a cut off occurs, or a new
chute is thrown open to navigation, which
shortens the river, and counterbalances
tho lengthening process. This counter
balance is not thought of by the casual
observer, because tho lengthening pro
cess is going on daily, and even hourly,
and is seldom spoken of, whereas the fact
of a new cut off, shortening the river so
many miles, is published fur and wide.-
There have been enough cut offs formed
since 1844 to havo shortened the river
nearly 300 miles, but for the counterac
tion spoken of, and the distance is the
same to-day as then.”
£££>*■ A profound excitement ruffles the
1 >osom of the Methopist Episcopal Church
in Cincinnati. Mrs. Eliza Van Cott has
been licensed a regular Methodist preach
er by a quarterly feonference in Troy.—
More than a baker's dozen of the minis
ters of that denominution held a meeting
iu Cincinnati on the 20th ultimo, and
solved against the Rev. Mrs. Eliza an not
in harmony with the Scripture, nor to be
nil owed ns a prudential measure. Dr.
Wiley cut her scriptural footing entirely
away, and left her no Gospel standing
wliatever. The cliairman, Rev.'Moody,
discovered that she wrs bom out of due
time, and thought tho proceeding “one
of the efforts of rationalism and infidelity
to raze the Christian ^ministry.” One of
the speakers admitted that John Wc6ley
•lid license women to preach, but they
improved on his methods after his death,
and stopped the women. Dr. Rust, of
the Wesleyan Femalo College, sounded a
cry of alarm : “We arc floating to perdi
tion on this tide of revolution.” Dr. Bug-
bee modified liis expressions by saying
that he was not referring to Mrs. Van
Cott or any other woman; and other
speeches indicated thatthere was a wide
divergence of opinion in the matter.

enough for a dozen campaigns. Once
more, at Fredericksburg, the ever-vieto-
rious Southern army and the ever-beaten
Northern legions were brought face to
face. For one thing let us give due cred
it—there was never before on army which
so often and so terribly beaten, so
out-generaled, out-fonght and out-march
ed, and yet held so well together. With
ono man out of every three stricken
from the rolls of the battles of Jnne, it
had braced itself to meet another sanguin
ary scourging iu August, and was none
the less ready to cover Sliarpsbnrg Heights
with 1C,000 of its dead and wounded in
September. In December, with full ranks,
silken banners, superb artillery, and all
the pride of war, they “ came up to the
scratch once more smiling, ” as pugilists
say, os though they bore tho unstained
prestige of a dozen victories. Thus from
the “loins of the frozen North ” a new
multitude had reinforoed the veterans of
the two years of vicissitude, and their
united masses overhung Fredericksburg
and the little Southern army in occupa
tion thereof. Brave little army, shed
ding its best blood at every step, * it al
ways found the weak spot in the enemy’s
armor; and as unerringly and as fatally
as the sword of Achilles, it pierced to
the vitals. On the day of the December
massacre under Maryo’s heights, one
more deep-wound was scored through the
rich mail of tho ill-starred Hector.
After an infinite annoyance from tho
Mississippi rifles, which called down a
tremendous fire of artillery from his bat
teries, Burnside had succeeded in throw
ing liis pontoons across tho Rappahan
nock, and then the grand divisions filed
over in solid mass—one steady stream of
regiments and batteries, bands and ban
ners, crossing into that shattered city,
and deploying toward that grim height
beyond. There was no battle hero—it
was only a vast massacre. In the face of
such defences, held by such men, the Old
Guard of Napoleon, the Tenth Legion of
C»sar, the Macedonian Phalanx of Alex
ander, would linve quailed and fled. A
division would pour out from, tho city,
form a beautiful and imposing line, ad
vance by brigades steadily up within rifle
range, perhaps spurt up with a cheer
within a few yards of the stone wall that
encircles tho hill, and then when the river
of men had diminished to a mere waving
rill, they broke and fled in panic to the
horror-stricken army waiting in the outer
streets of the city. And then a fresh di
vision, leaping into line, went through
the same ordeal, and left the green mead
ow tesselated with their dead. Hancock
led 5,600 men to the assault—in fifteen
minutes 2,013 of them were shot down.—
Then in rapid succession tho commands
of French, Howard, Sturgis, and Getty
marched out, entered the line of fire,
broke, and streamed back across the fields.
When tho order came for the Irish brig
ade to storm tbo hill, tho whole Northern
army held its breath. This was tho finest
body of men on the field ; it had held the
works at- Gaines* Mill against inundating
masses of Confederates, and when orders
come for its retreat, it marched out in the
twilight with flags flying, music playing,
and company lines ns nicely dressed as ii
on review. Hill’s division could hardly
help cheering at their splendid audacity.
So now they moved out with tho battle-
light on their faces, and as they entered
the jaws of death, they gave a wild Fon-
tenoy yell, and dashed toward the wall.
Minutes were hours—inches were miles—
in that corpse-strewn field. On they went,
beyond the point reached by any pre
vious command—on and on ! In three
xuinntes more they will have crossed the
flame-scarped wall; bntthe roar of tin
cannon above and the rattle of tin
rifles below swells louder; every bul
let finds its billetthe line doubles
into a V; the flanks melt away; the
cheering ceases; tho advanced colors stop,
waver, turn back; the invincible Irish
brigade is broken and in full flight The
‘ oys in gray jumped upon and over the
all, cheering ana exultant. They want
ed to charge back, to enter tl c city, to
show how they used tho bayonet and l>ore
the flog. But iu tho twilight another
dense array was seen approaching. It
was Humphrey’s division, 4,000 empty
muskets, ordered up by General Burn
sides, against the entreaties of his corps
commanders. With deadly" earnestness
they came on. The fire slackened at some
points along the Southern line, as ammu
nition failed, but one more long crash of
rtiell and canister and rifle-balls, and
Humphrey fell back, leaving 1,700 men
piled on the field. It was the last attempt

Tho following interesting letters,
which form .part of the history of an
eventful period,, have just been published
by the Jackson (Miss.) Clarion :
Richmond, Va., Nov. 3d, 1861.
Gen. J. E. Johnston:
Commanding Department of Potomac:
Sir—!Reports have been and are bring
widely circulated to the effect that I pre
vented Gen. Beauregard from pursuing
the enemy after the battle of Manassas;
and had subsequenily restrained him
from advancing upon Washington City.
Though such statements have been made
merely for my injury, and in that view
their notice might be postponed to a
more convenient season, they have ac
quired importance from the fact that
they have served to create distrust, to ex
cite disappointment, and must embarrass
the Administration in its farther efforts
to reinforce thejirmies of tho Potomao,
and generally to provide for the public
defence.
For this public, considerations, I call
upon you as the Commanding General,
and as a party to all the conferences held
by me on the 21st and 22d of July, to say
whether I obstructed tho pursuit of the
enemy after the victory at Manassas, or
have ever objected to an advance or other
active operation which it was feasible for
tho array to undertake. 5 '
Very respectfully, yours, etc.,
Jeffiuison Davis.
I £ EAD-QCARTERS, CEXTREVUiLT, j
November 10, 1861. f
To His Excellency the President:
Sir—I have had tbe honor to receive
your letter of the 3d iust, in which you
call upon me; “as Commanding General,
and as a party to all tho conferences held
by yon on the 21st and 22d of July, to
“Whether you obstructed the pursuit
after the victory of Manassas.
“ Or have over objected to an advance
other active operations which it
feasible for tho army to undertake.”
To tho first question, I reply No. The
pursuit was “obstructed” by the enemy’*
troopsut Centreville, as I have stated in
my official report In that report I have
also said why no advance was made upon
the enemy's capitol (for reasons) ns fol
lows :
The apparent freshness of the U. S.
troops at Centreville, which checked our
pursuit; tho strong force occupying the
wooks near Georgetown, Arlington and
Alexandria, too, that Gen. Patterson, if
needed, would renclT Washington with
an army of more than 30,000 sooner tu&n
wo could; and tlio condition and inade
quate means of the army iu ammunition:
provision, and transporation; prevented
any serious thoughts of advancing against
the Capitol.
To the second question, I reply, that
“it has never been feasible for the army
to advance father than it has done”—tc
the line of Fairfax, C. H., with its ad
vanced posts at Upton’s, Munson’s, and
Mason’s lulls. After a conference at
Fairfax C. If., with the three senior Gen
eral officers, you announced it to be im
practicable to give this army the strength
which those officers considered necessary
to enable it to assume the offensive.—
Upon which I drew it back to its present
position.
Most repcctfully,
Your obedient servant,

Col. and A. D.O.
To the President.
written inquiries hare been made of me in regard
to the constitutions.!itr of ’ the Act taring the
sale*! of spirituous and malt liquors 20 cents
per gallon. That all may understand my views
the subject, I have to xeqaeat that you pub
lish this letter.
The same clause or Sec. 27, Article let of the
Constitution of this State declare that “taxation
on property shall be ad Yalokxm only, and
form on all species of property taxed," and hence
the conclusion arrived at by many that the spe
cific or special tax on liquors is unconstitutional.
And such would bo a legitimate conclusion, but
lor the fact that another part of the asm* Con
stitution as expressly authorizes the Legislature
tolay special tax on the sale of spirituous and
malt liquors, and thus talco liquors out of the
provisions of tho languago above quoted.
Article VI. Section 3, declares that, the “poll
tax allowed by this Constitution, and educational
fond now belonging to this ~ State, except the
endowment of any debt duo tho State University;
or that may hereafter be obtained in any way, a
special^ax on shows and exhibitions, and on the
sale of spirituous or malt liquors, which the
General Assembly is hereby authorized to
assess, and the proceeds from the commutation
for militia service, are hereby set apart and dcs
voted to the Common schools." It would seem
that the attention of those who aro engaged in
resisting before the coarts, the ooUoction of this
tax on account of its supposed nnconstitutionali-
ty, could bo directed to the clause last quoted,
that they would at once abandon the ground aa
Wholy untenable and thus save themselves, as
well as the State, -the unnecessary expenses of
litigation.
Another ground cf resistance as it is under
stood is, that the tax act of 1869 was limHed to
that year—tbe act' taxed the sales of 1889, and
expired at tho end of that year By referecce to
paragraph 8, Section 2d. it will he see that this
ground is also untenable, and that the paragraph
by its own language is perpetual, from year to
year until repealed or suspended by a new tax
Act. .Vter specifying tlie tax levied, the act
goes on to say that “quarterly returns aliall be
made on the first days of April, July, October,
ami January “iv each teab." Ac.—clearly
meaning tho year I860 and each succeeding
year. This is the plain letter of tbe law, as
tlio intention, and other construction
would bo forced and contrary to all known rnles
for the construction of Statutes. If, however,
hould still doubt as to the act being
perpetual by force of its own language, it is pre
sumed that no one will doubt that tho Resolu
tion of tlio Legislature, approved May, 1870,
continues it in force. This is the Resolution:
'Resolved 2d. That for tho same reasons the
tal act of 1863, -be, and it is hsroby continued in
full force and effect, until otherwise ordered by
General Assembly.”
I would aleo call special attention to the pen
alty imposed by tho latter part of Paragraph 8,
Section >, o! the tax act .of 1869, whioh says :
“if any person shall fail or refuse to make his
return and pay said tax, lie shall be assessed
by the Collector, a specific tax of one thousand
dollars, and tho Collector shall proceed toe
lect tho same by execution," etc. I would:
mark that those who resist tlie tax by
crtheless, in i
judgment, bo subject to the poualty, should
they fail to succeed befbr e tlie courts.
While the constitutionality ot tlie law can only
bo determined by the courts, i have deemed it
improper for mo (it being my duty to enforce
revenue laws of the fttate) to state this much
of my views of tho law in question, with tho
view, if possible, of saving litigation and, per
haps, much expenses to complainants as well as
to the State. * Respectfully,

The following is from the "Washington

Our farmers, who were somewhat un-.

that their fears were groundless. The dry
weather just at that time was rather of
benefit than otherwise, by preventing the
corn from overshooting itself and the
cotton from attaining too luxuriant- a
growth. "We had a fine rain on last Taee-
doy, however, which will probably make
a large portion of the early corn, and was
just sufficient for the cotton crop.

Bullock Preparing for
Sweep,
We find the following in the Atlanta
Georgian, of Friday last:
“Straws show whioh way the wind
blows.” and from a few little straws we
floating through the gubernatorial
atmosphere j esterday, it was quite plain
that a current Jmd set in towards some
sweeping change in the system of State
administration. In tho first place, there
will be an attempt to re-elect State-house
officers. Tho Governor's man Friday,
whom he lately pardoned of all offences
against tbe State; whom he washed and
regenerated, whom ho purified from all
his post political sins; whom be bos made
a thorough B alloc kite of the most ap
proved stamp, seemed to bo lobbying des
perately. This was one little straw.
Another .of greater importance was the
presence of the gentleman who, if rumor
is to bo credited, is to bo run for tho
State Treasurer.
Tho change is not to stop with State
House officers; it is to spread out all
over the whole State, and tho Jndiciary,
from the Supreme Bench to a Notaiy
Public, is to be reorganized. If this £s
done we may rest assured that no man
will be allowed to rit upon the seat of
justice who will not pronounce the shibo-
ieth of liis Excellency. And what is tho
plea for these sweeping changes ? Noth
ing in the world but that oft repeated,
stale, thread-bare argument that tho
State government is provisional; the of
ficial terms being from the time the
State is rocognized by Congress. The
same sophistry may tie used to sanction
other changes, and who can tell to what
extent they may reach, and tbe agen
cies that may lie employed to carry
them through.

Small-Pox Claims.—Nearly every
county in the State has ono or more
claims for expenses on account of small
pox eases, we learn that many of them are
being presented at the Executive De
partment for payment. Upon inquiring
at tho Capitol, tho Xew Era was inform-
that there is much misunderstanding ir
connection with these oases, arising out
of a cofiict between a section of the
Code aud the text of the act of the Leg
islature upon which tho section was sup
posed to have been founded. The Coae
makes it tho duty of the Governor to
draw his warrant in payment of the bills
when audited by county authorities, and
tho act of 1866 expressly declares that
the counties shall levy a special tax to pav
such bills. The attention of judge Irwin
was called to this contradiction between
the Code and the act, and in a letter to
Governor Bulloclr he explains by saying
that the error occurred in this way:—
His copying clerk, in making up the copy
for the new Cede, had the several acts
before him, and copied the 3d section of
the net of 1862, instead of tbe 3d section
of the act of 1866, which was not discov
ered until it was too.late to moke the
correction. The act of 1862 and the act
of 1866 are exactly the same except
tbe 3d section. Seo tlio several acts of
1862, 1862 and 1865 title small-pox.—Au

Jouali's Grave.
I had almost forgotten, says an East-
•n traveler, to say that as tbe village of
Ninevali, the spot where the miraculous
gourd grew is still pointed out. The
mo spet, according to Moslem tradition,
the site of Jonah’s grave, and a mosque,
not very handsome, ha3 been erected up
on it. We succeeded, after a great deal
of trouble, in getting an order from the
Pacha to view the interior, and greatly to
tho dsigust of the guardian of the shrine,
ho ha*l to let \js in, making us, however,
take off our boots, and grumbling loudly
tirnt never before had a Christian foot de
filed tho mosque. But we saw nothing
worth describing. The reputed tomb is
covered up with rich draperies, which
are never removed.

The Diamond Glasses
Manufactured by J. E. SPENCER, New York,
which are now offered to the public, are pro
nounced by all tbo celebrated opticians in the
world to be the most perfect natural, artificial
help to the bum sit eye ever known. They are
wound under their own supervision, from min-
cto crystal pebbles, incited together, and derive
their name, “Diamond," oft account of their
hardness and brilliancy. The scientific principle
on which they are. constructed brings the core
or centre of the lens directly in front of the eye,
producing a clear and diatmet vision, as iu the
natural healthy sight, and preventing all un
pleasant sensation, such as glimmering and
wavering of sight, dizziness, Ac., peculiar to all
others iu use. They are mounted in the finest
manner, in frames of the material- used for that
S ow. Their finish and, durability cannot be

Geoiigul.—The Waaliiligtoa press cor
respondent appears to think that Con
gress will adjourn without final action on
the case of Georgia. We believe ho is
mistaken. At least, as a party advantage,
the Democrats o! tho North would desire
notliingbetter than to go into the fall elec
tions with tho Union still disrupted.—
If the Radicals hare any sense at ou, they
are obliged to see this and manage their
cards with better skill.
Onr night dispatches rather confirm us
in this opinion. The Georgia bill came
up ia tho Senate yesterday, tho House
amendment was uon-coucurred in, and a
committee of conference appointed. The
Senate’s objection to the House bill is,
doubtless* its appearance of favoring the
view of Bullock with regrad to the ex
tension of the present Legislative and
Executive terms, the words “in 1870”
having been stricken oUt of thd bill. As
it is essential to the Radicate to pass the
bUl-in some shape,, it is probable that
these words will be reinstated by the con
ference committee and the bill, thus
changed, meet the approval of both
houses. It ia' very evident to ns that
neither' house has any countenance for
Bullock’s outrageous pretensions, and
that the motion to'strike out was caiyied
in tho House on the belief that Cbngrees
had no right to interfere in the Georgia
election and should leave the whole aues-
tion to the jadicial authorities of the
Jptate. Bullock and his friends however,
have given their vote a different construe,
tion, and to prevent his cbntemplatedont-
rage, or the collision tlmt the attempt
would inevitably lead to, will now feel no
scruple in giving an unmistakable ex-
S rcssiott of their opinion on the subject.^—

Clerkship SalakucsJ in New York*—
A New York correspondent r of the Bos
ton Pont says there are salesmen in the
first named city wh<» make each from
85,000 to $20,000 a year, and adds that
“lastyear a man was discharged from
one of the principal houses in New .York
because he had made, by salary and
missions, over $25,000 in one year. The
head of the firm thought that was too
muoli for one man, and gave him notice
that ye might leave. Another salesman
made $20,000 thp tame year in the same
house. It would bo easy, to name a score
of buyers who receive regular salaaies of
from $8,000 to $10,000, and whose ex
penses to Europo and back, twice a year,
are paid besides. Then there are many
Boorea of salesmen who get $5,000 and up
wards, hoiqo of tnese drawing during the
year os much as $8,000. Of course they
must bo first class men, and they are the
samo men who become, iu time, the great
merchants of the metropolis. It lias fre
quently happened daring the past few
years that salesmen have cleared more*
money than their employees. When
business is dull the employer may not
make a dollar, but, whether he makes oi‘
loses, the salesman draws his salary and
commission regularly.”
