The New York 'Thelma published, a few days ago, a melons letter from Richmond, evidently from she pen of &cultivated man, intimatieg that the: purpose of Sumas' frustrated mission to. Washington, was to protest against the employment of negro troops in our armies, and to threaten a re sort to the same instrument, In case we persisted in prosecuting the war in so un christian and ungentlemanly a way. We learn now that the press-gang of-the rebel government has been instrinned to gather up all the,lighl cosepkzioned slaves In the Confederacy. This, we suppose, may be considered the entering wedge, and we may look, of course, if the war continues, to see a gradual deepening of the shade, until we come dein to the' lowest stratum, in the unedulterated ebony. We shall have means, however, in that event, for ganging the condition, of the Confederate cause, by a reference to the color of its defenders. The flush of the Anglo-Saxon, revealing itself through the transparent skin, and caldera eye, will bespeak the still lingering hope, that struggles with the demon of despair. The rigout and copper will be a shade worse, but still they will betray the kindred blood, and blood, as the proverb says, always tells. The brown will indicate ea approaching crisis, r ani the bleekin all its varieties, from the high and lustrous polish .iff Day and biartin, down to the dull, soot?, hue of the denizen of the Gold Coast, will be the mi. 14 Gulf. The bat is about the color which animal bodies assume when decomposition has set in, and this is the complexion to which the C. S. A. "must come at last," as it gravitate downward in the grand pro cess of sluing; Suet as the standard of hu manity declined in the wars of the first Napoleon, from the Anakim tcrthe Lilliputian man. When the bleaching process, which preceded the rebellion, is thus reversed, we shall have only to wait until the black flap is superseded by the black flog-bearer, to 840 the end of the struggle. The Roman Em pire began with Augustus, and ended with Augustutue. The rebellion opened with the dreaded Mack horse Cava t ay. It would be a 'curio= dmenericstr, if it should expire with the lank skinned Infantry. But how is the delicate leek of inflection to be performed, under 'orders such as these? Is 'it by the genealogical tree, which shall indicate precisely the extent of the adulteration? Will Jan. Davis send ' the chemists, with lancets in their hands, to tap the vital current, and analyze it? Will he send the philosophers, with their quadrants,' to measure the facial angles— or thephysiologlete, with their microscopes, to scrutinise the _structure of the hair—or the Doctors of Divinity, with their Alosses, to fathom the still darker problem of here ditary sin, and decide precisely how much of the guilt of Hata, and the responsibility for his fault, has been bleached out of his unfortnnate positivity ? Or will they con trive some instrument to determine the quality of the enbanticalat pigment, or measure or graduate the depth and inten sity-of the coloring An ingenious mo alnico—a dyer, no doubt—is said to have invented, some thirty or forty years ago, a machine for measuring the intensity of bins—a color , by the way, not unwind with the secession soldiery—and why not blacki We like this ides of the measurement of shades and colors hugely, because it is so artistic and ea suggestive.

Governor Seymour boa de olared tide very emphatically in sundry of his public speeches, although Alexander Stephens, Vico President of the Southern Confederacy, in &carefully preparedepbecll, once as empatieslly denied it. Such as those wrongs were, the Federal Government is about, not only to repeat them in a more grievous farm, but to add to their number. • • • Let us make a little cata logue of the wrongs which the South has yet to endure on being received back into the Union. We shall give it free speech and a free press. Vehemently as these are disliked by the sisveholders, we must impose them on the South, which for years has denied them both to those who reside within its borders and to the stranger from the Free States. All this must be changed and a new order of things must begin, In which the dimension of any question of polity or I legislation shall be strictly unfettered, and a traveler from the Northern States may say what he pleases of any institution of the South, without the risk of being hanged on the next tree. There is no doubt that such politicians as blr. Vallandighama friends in this city and elsewhere, who have lately been' clamoring for freedom of speech, will taken malicious pleasure in witnessing this infliction, but this is what we cannot help. The South must prepare itself to submit. At present the South, with all its natu ral advantages and resources, is almost without commerce and without arts. Its noble harbors gave acmes to insignificant towns, almost mare hamlets; its people are so =skilled in mechanical employments that they cannot patch up their own rail ways or build the engines and oars which r o an n them. We will condemn the South to a state of things which will give it flour ishing towns, ample markets for the pro. ducts of its rich soil, an active commerce, and thousands 'of mills bumming on th e streams that rush from its mountains. We will mate for it a condition of things which will invite emigration, improve its agriculture and husbandry, and make it the seat of prosperous communities. It is a hard case, we admit, but such are the consequence; which must follow the policy now adopted by the government, and which cannot be avoided without revoking that policy and incurring national diegrace. At present there prevails among the poor white population of the Southern States • lamentable degree of ignorance, which makes them the servile tools of the more ln telligent and wealthy. This ignorance, we Jeer, is accompanied with some correspond ent degree of deprsvity. Slavery corrupts The morals of the masters, and the eiample of the educated and opulent masters cor rupts the morale of the poor whites. There are no schools for the poor worth speaking of, nor any means of improving their char eater under the fatal influences we have mentioned. Here is another wrong lobe inflicted upon the South. With the change we make in their institutions we give them schools; we educate them to the knowledge and appreciation of a' better standard of conduct; we keep them out of vice by dis couraging idleness and showing them that labor is honorable. The rebel States have a great deal of 1 trouble with their postoffice. They at first fixed the price on a single letter at fire cents; this was found not to defray the ex- pease of carrying the mails; it was there fore fixed at ten cents, which we fee,r will' also leave &deficiency in the revenue. We ' will add to the list of themejrs they suffer at our hands by carry all their lettere for three cents each, unless they should 1 1 very earnestly petition the governmen for ' leave to pay as much as the conveydnce really costa WI, in which case we may pos -1 sibl relent and allow them the privilege of p y aying five or ten cents instea d of three There are three millions of human be ings la the rebel States, hitherto kept in a state of compelled ;servitude, ignorance and degradation—a relation which ear -1 raps both them and those who 'claim to own. theta as slaves. These people are a part of what we call the South. We lave declared them free; we shall commit the further wrong of keeping them so; we shall insist on retaining them in a condi tion which shall inspire them with self respect, enlighten their understanding, teach them the obligation's of truth and re gard for the rights of property, introduce among them what may now be ;mid to be unknown, the marriage relation and in every way elevate their characte r. There II another set of slaves in the rebel States whom it will be our policy to eman cipate, - for, until we do this, we can never live with them in peace. These are the masters themselves, the bondeuives of their own passions, as hie Jefferson, half a cen tury ago, declared them to and who have ever dace, by the cumulative effect of a great wrong, persevered in from year to year, been passing rapidly to a more degraded state of servitude, and a more fearful degeneracy. We mast, as a meas ure of self-proteotion, place tide class in such relations to their fellow-men of the black race, thst they will find themselves under the necessity of exercising the same control over their passions as other men; that they will be restrained from the lux ury of flogging women, forced to observe a certain decency in their domestic life, sad led, by the same inducements which exist lathe free. States, to occupy them selves with some branch of honorable in dustry. The emancipation of the bond man is no less an emancipation of the master. On looking over our list, we see that we have omitted some wrongs which the re flection of our readmit will no doubt sup ply, but we must yet add one more in con clusion. Finally, then, as the consummation and crowning wrong which we meditate, we will make the Southern States, with their inhabitants, members of a great empire, with free institutions from its extreme Northern to its utmost Southern 11=14 an empire _prosperous, peaceful and happy; great beyond allgreatness of theold world; as illustrious in the arts of peace, as it has shown itself to be formidable in war; too strong in-its resources and the spirit of its people tole trifled with by other pow ers, yet compelling their respect by its fair ness and justice, and by that abstinence from all encroachments on their rights to which both the temper_ sad the interests of its people will ever incline it.

Sev eral women werein attendance three weeks ago, wearing the seceseion badges: "On coming out of church at noon a Miss Jumper remarked to an intimate friend whose name was Dollarhide that she would appear much' better in church without that butternut pin, whereupon Mies Dollarhide _th a w a large dirk and struck at her; but the blow was warded off. She then ad vanced and struck again. This blow cut off all the ootds and nerves on the inside of the left arm. She struck a third time, a part of the dirk striking on the breast bone. At this moment they were separa ted by the friends of Miss Jumper. The preacher stood in the door, witnessing the whole scene. When it was over he swung his hat and shouted at the top of his voice. Three oheere for Miss Dollarhide." "The next Sabbath after the above scene was enacted, two ladies appeared at church with pistols and bowie-knives in their belts." Counterfeiter ofed Treasury Notes ,!.1 . rest. H. it. Webster, of Albany, was arrested on Tuesday lastby H. R. Lowell, deputy marshal, on a charge of counterfeiting Treasury notes. He was brought before Commissioner Roger, at Syracuse, for ex. amination. It appears that Webster had been in thtl habit of writing letters to per,. eons ell over the state, in very many easels to postmasters, offering to sell them fac similes oited States Treasury notes, do
