Hearadon, deceased. EADY HEARXDON. June 6-40d Administratrix i Jell Unti* on the Future of the South ern Blacks, and Fcnianipiin. From the recent work by Surgeon Craven entitled the “Prison Life of Jefferson Pavis.” we extract his views on the question of negro emancipation and its results, and the late abortive invasion of Canada in behalf of Ire land •’ Mr, Pavis referred to an account he bad been reading of an attack on a negro named Davenport, in Connecti cut, for marrying or living with a white woman. Also to the New York riots, in which mobs rose suddenly upon the blacks, hanging them to lamp posts and roasting them at slow fires. The papers bore evidence, from all sections, of increasing hostility between the races, and this was but part of the penalty the poor negro had to pav for freedom. The more political equality was given or approached, the greater must be the. social antagonism of the races. In the South, under Slavery, there was no such feeling, because there could be no rivalry, Children of the white master were often suckled by negroes, and sported during infancy with black playmates . Old enough to engage in’ manlier exercise, it was un der.black huntsmen the young whites took, their first lesson in field sports. — They fished, shot and hunted together, eating the same bread, drinking Iron) the same cup, sleeping under the same tree with their negro guide. In-pub lic conveyances- there was no social exclusion of the blacks, nor any dis-i like engendered by competition be tween white and negro labor. In the bedchamber of the planter’s daughter it was common for a negro girl to si ep as half attendant, half companion ; and while there might be, as in all countries, and among all races, individual instances of'cruel treatment, ho was well satisfied that between no master and .laboring classes on earth had so kindly and regardful a feeling subsisted. To suppose otherwise re quired a violation of the known laws of huL’iau nature. Early associations of servict, action and support were powerful. -To these self-interest join ed. The horse hired for a day may be fed or not fed, grcom’ed qr not gropmed, when returned to the stable. The horse owned by us, and for whicii we I ave paid a thousand or fifteen hundred dollars, is and olject both of pride and solicitude. His grooming, stabling and feeding arc cared for. If sick, he is doctored, and cured if pos sible. When at work it is the owner’s interest that he shall not be over taxed. • The attainment of political equali ty by the negro will, revolutionized all this. It will be as if our horses were j given the right ot intruding into our i parlors, or biought directly into com- \ petition with human labor, no longer | aided it but a$ rivals. Put large gangs ! of white laborers, belonging to differ- j ent nationalities, at woik beside each other, and feuds v. ill probably break 1 out. Endeavor to supplant a thousand Irishmen working on a levee or canal ‘ by a thousand Germans ready to ac cept lower wages, or vise versa, and military power will he required to keep ‘the peace.- Emancipation does this upon a gigantic scale, and the most aggravated form. It throws the whole black race into direct and aggressive competiton with the laboring classes of the whites, a fid the ignorance cf the blacks presuming on their freedom, will embitter the difference- The principle of compensation prevails everywhere, through nature, and the negroes will have to pay, in harsher social restrictions and treatment, for the attempt to invest them wit! politi cal equality. To endow them with the ballot by act of Coagress was im possible, until the trunk of the Con ptitution, already stripped of maDy branches once full of shade and pleas ant singing birds, was torn up by the roots Each State had the privilege of deciding the qualifications of its own c tizens ; and Some of the States most clamorous for universal negro suffr'ge in the South where such a measure would send unlettered blacks to hot!. Ilou-es of Congress, and pass the State Legislitures and judiciary altogether into their hands, themselves refused the ballot to the negro, though not numerous enough in any district to decide the majority ot a pound keeper. The present Fenian movement for Iteland was a farce to make angels weep The last attempt was made in IS4B, when the population of Ire land was more than a mdlion larger— the movement originated at home, and all Europe in a convulsive and volcan, ic condition. History gave no example of an oppressed race that hud accepted exile returning with success to liberate their native land. The aristocratic lefugees of the French Revolution indeed got back to their country, hut only under the swords of a ec mbination in which England, Austria, Russia, Prussia, and the German States were enlisted, with their whole military re sources. It was a mere catch penny clamor of designing demagogues in its cis-Atlantic aspect; nor could he see that in Ireland there was au organiza tion or even a vigorous purpose to accomplish the object proposed.— England’s control of the seas was absolute, at least so near home, against any less combination than the natives Thomasville, Georgia, ‘Wednesday.-July IS, iB6O. / V—2 I ■. %, • %/ of France and Austria. To land men in any sufficient quantity, in Ireland ! would require desperate sea fights by navy with nfivy, and a transport fleet costing for vessels and their equip ments no less than some hundred millions. .The men engaged in this business are either rogues or fools.— He had no special cause to love En- I gland, nor dislike; but such imprac ticable'and pigmy threaten.ngs of her . empire would be ludicrous’ if not too sad. Against the rocks of her coast storm clouds of a thousand fi Id. the Fenian power had dashed with clamor of waves and mist of spray, but next’ morning the sun shone bright again, the air was calm, and only in a shore strewn with wrecks could evidence be found of any past commotion. • Tlir fcrliTs ITlonroo Pri*oiic r : —A Wai-niiis; from the Kiciiniosu! Tinieti. When Napoleon Bonaparte died on the prison rock of St. Helena, at the . time he breathed his last and tor hours after his death, one of the most , tre mendous storms, that ever swept the face of land or sea was fiercely raging. Dark clouds -draped the canony of lleaven like a funeral pall, while the struggling winds, with dread and mournful sounds, seemed to give ex pression to • paroxysms of grief and agony. Vast waves thundered furi ously against the rockbound shores of ‘ the lonely Island, as.if they sought to tear it from, its adamantine base.—■ Scorching lightnings • shivered the granite . crags, and high above the wails of the tempest and crash of this awlul elemental strife came the boom-’ ing of signal guns from vessels in distress, as they were whirled through, the darkness of that night and the dangers of that sea down to destruction. Amid such scenes as these the soul of Napoleon took its flight. -Supersti tion did not fail to connect as causa and effect the death of such a great man and the coincidence of such a storm. The friends of the imprisoned and exiled Emperor saw in this hur ricane a manifestation of Heaven’s anger and vengeance at the conduct of his enemies and the inhumanity of his jailor. Certain if is, that this remark able tempest was. not without its effect upon the mind and conscience of f ] udson. Lowe. .. •’ ‘ ‘ ir Jefferson Da.vis, like’ Napoleon’ Bonaparte, shall die in. prison,', we know not whether there will ho a physical storm simiia.” to. this to herald his entrance into eternity, • arid strike terror into the hearts of his enemies. But this we know—that tl e death of such a man in prison, after the world : now knows what he has suffered, will j arouse a moral storm which will sweep fi-om the centre to the’ circumference j of Christendom, and pillory to shame 1 forever on the page of history the actors in the dark tragedy of Fortress Monroe, The Death of Davis in pris on will be an indignant theme before which the deeds, of the. Inquisition, j and the crimes of the Bistile, and the I murders of London Tower, and the ! horrors of the Austrian Dungeon, will grow radiant with the light of justice and mercy. It will be in va : n, then, ! to place the burden of such a sin on Miles alone. He may alone be the 1 guilty party ; but the name, fame and reputation of the American people, as represented by the blood-hound party in power, will have to reel and stagger under the gigantic infamy, never to be relieved by death or burial in obliv ion. No penance, will then atone for the treatment of Mr. Davis, f r the world will only recollect Ills virtues and his, injuries. For the Radical party there will then be eternal shame and degradation, and for Miles there will be peace and happiness neither here nor hereafter. Wherever he may go, conscience will lash him with her scorpion sting, and the hissings of the universe will follow him. In the song of every bird he shall hear, ‘‘Oh ! the shame, the shame and in the rustle of every leaf breathed upon by the summer’s softest zephyr he shall hear tl.c harsh rattb of the nmnaclcs and the | iteous moans of his victim. — Will he travel by seat’ Then a spec tral form from Hampton Roads will haunt his imaginations and fill his dreams, clothing the crest of each wave with a winding sheet and shouting vengeance in the foam of each bil . low. We repeat, if Jefferson Davis shall die in prison, let all amenable for it psepare to meet a tempest and deluge of wrath and shame, such as never i before avenged a deed of wrong to the living or the dead. O IVidth of the Streets of London. — There are in the city of London four hundred and forty streets, and in only seventy of them is there room for more than two lines of vehicles to pass at a time for the entire length. In one hundred and eleven streets one line of vehicles only can pass; one hundred and one have no exit, and are not thoroughfares at all.

This, however, is a very short-sighted policy.. .It is almost like taking .in the.sign-board from one’s store door, or hiding, one’s light under a bushel.

CONFIDENCE GJtHKE l.\ CINCINNATI. Blow Ihr Bnuki'r Cot ‘•Siiot.” The latest and most magnificent swindle that has transpired in Cincin natti foi many years, has just come to light. The following are the particu lars as near as we ‘are .able to ascer- , tain ; A short time sT.ce a well dressed and el lerly looking gentleman, pre sented himself at the counter of the Third National hank, and asked the privilege of depositing for safe keeping an iron box, which the depositor claim ed to count in 820,000 in gold. The j appearance of the gentleman presenting the box, and the heaviness oi the box itself, carried to the mind of the re ceiver of the bank a fairness, and he 1 took in charge the ‘box of gold’ as a special deposit held at the risk of the j owner. The box in the safe, of course,. 1 became known to all the officers of the j bank, and they congratulated them- | selves that they had been selected as the custodians of so valuable a treasure. Days passed on and the ‘box of gold’ remained uncalled for, until a few days ago the gentleman who deposited the box drew on the bank a draft for a considerable amount of money which amount rumor on Third street places at SSOOO. The ‘box of gold’ Was again lifted and eternally examined, | and its weight induced the bank to ! cash the draft which was drawn upon them, believing that the ‘box of gold’ was ample security for the amount of ; the draft Soon after the payment of the draft the officers began to entertain a fear : that ‘all was not well,’ and they again I concluded to examine the aforesaid box. They sent for Schroder, the , locksmith, and the box was opened and found to contain, instead of that j precious dust of California, the pure gold, only the probable weight in shot, regular*buckshot ! The bankers saw the extent of their swindle, and the security for the amount of the draft paid, in point of value fell below zero. S’lir SccMMtracltoa jl Bar ■nm rut The-following is the constitutional . amendment ‘reported by Mr.'Stoveas’. Committee of Fifteen, as amended by .the Senate, and now .pending in that body, —ls it should pass the Senate in j this shape, it must go back to the ■ House for its concurrence in -the amendment of the- 8d section. The radicals say that thirty-five Senators, I including Mr. Doolittle, will vote lor .the amendment hi this shape, and that there is no doubt at its passage .by the j Senate, ‘by the ‘requisite two-thirdT’ vote.’ It is understood, however, that- • when it goes back'to the House, Mr. | Stevens will oppose if, as nothing but the wholesale disfranchisement of the ’ , rebels, as provided for.by the 8d see : tion as reported from his committee, | will satisfy him. It is quite apparent that there is but little hope of- obtain- ! ing the ratification of three-fourths of the States ‘to a constitutional amend meat, which does not. even'command the hearty or unanimous support 61 one [ political party. .
