Seventh and Chestnut sta. EVENING BULL ETIN THURSDAY, DECEMBER 28, :sus THE SOUTHERN BLACKS. The insurrection of the whites at the South, which the Northern copperheads hoped would succeed, having proved a dreadful failure, they are now hoping for an insurrection of the negroes. They are thirsting , for more blood, and this ": - rte they would be willing to have their slaughtered, simply for the cid allies `pair predictions and pleasure of having b...„ their theories verified. According to the copperhead organs, there were to be, about Christmas time, risings of the blacks against their former masters, all .over the Southern States. We have been treated to essays, edito rials and letters by the hundred, pre dicting such a mode of celebrating Christmas, and the writers of them have been looking for several days for news of the fulfilment of their prophecies. How eagerly they have snapped at every rumor of the kind. How they have chuckled when they have heard of a drunken negro attacking a white man, or a drunken white man attacking a negro. A row among the rowdies of Alexandria was magnified into an inci pient insurrection, and, in flaming and jubilant head-lines, it was paraded be fore the public. But it was only a drunken row, in which the white drunkards appear to have been more numerous than the black ones; for fifty or a hundred of the latter were badly beaten. This is the extent of the "rising of the blacks," so far as heard from. It is a grievous disappointment to the Northern copperheads that nothing more serious has occurred. It is a still more grievous one to receive such very pacific despatches as come from various Southern cities. From Petersburg we have this comforting message : "There have been no disturbances caused by the negroes, who have behaved themselves very well in this county. They have been quite orderly for the season, and never before wee so few seen on our streets during the Christmas holi days. There is no apprehension or un easiness in the public mind about them." At Norfolk and Portsmouth there were a few drunken brawls, but nothing serious. At Richmond, "There never was more harmony between the whites and blacks at this season. No aggressive disposition has been shown on the part of either." At Raleigh, N. C., "There never was a more orderly Christmas week. Thus far the blacks have be haved well. No apprehension of 'dis turbance from them here or elsewhere, so far as can be learned, exists." A like favorable report comes from Wilwing ton. N. C. We are sorry for our Copperhead neighbors, although we cannot help thinking that the public good and the preservation of human life are rather more important than the gratification of their hopes and the fulfilment of their predictions. The .truth is, the blacks have been shamefully belied by them ever since the beginning of our troubles. It . was , positively asserted that they would rise against their masters and mistresses, when the war began, and would slaughter, ravish and burn indisl erirninately: But they were singularly quiet and docile during the whole war, waiting and expecting their freedom in God'sgood time, with a kind of patience and faith; hat seemed like the result of inspiration. It was predicted, too, that negroes employed as soldiers would be insubordinate and cruel, and that they. would, incite the slaves to revolt. But nothing of the kind occurred, and with a few rare.exceptions, the' negro soldiers were well-behaved,and they never made mischief among the Southern negroes. This nuifonn docility and good behav- for of the Southern negroes, under cir cumstances calculated to try them, and to tempt them peculiarly to,. acts of dish order, establish for them a fresh claim upon the kindness and forbearance of the whites everywhere. They have sud denly been transformed from a state of dependent vassalage to one of entire freedom; they have to learn to compre hend this freedom, and the obligations and duties it imposes on them. Having been kept in dense , ignorance all their lives, it is a wonder that they should know these already so well as to behave in, an orderly manner during the holiday season. It shows that they have more commonsense than they have been cred ited with among the negrophobists, and that they are material for making good and orderly citizens. They should be encouraged in this, and thus they will become industrious and will contribute far more to the general prosperity as freemen than they ever did as slaves. STONEWALL JACKSON. The New York Daily News of yester day contains an eloquent editorial appeal in behalf of the family of "Stonewall" Jackson. Somebody, whose name un fortunately is not given, has written to Hon. Benjamin Wood, asking him to start a subscription for this object. This "somebody" is sure that Stdnewall has friends enough in New York, and hopes that they will at once have their "names honored in the columns of the News by eontributing to this most worthy ob ject." Mr. Wood endorses the appeal with an enthusiasm which none but a thorough-bred traitor could feel towards a brother traitor'. He declares that "all America will, one of these days, claim the honor of being the country of this great captain and simple hearted Chris tian hero," which, considering the way in which America evinces her eagerness to perpetuate the memory of her real heroes and her own captains, we should regard as rather dubious. The Honora ble Benjamin goes on to insult the pa trietism and the common sense of the American people by the assertion that they are entirely indifferent as to the sides which men took in the late rebel lion. He says: "Little will the people of after times reek whether be flashed his stainless sword in defence of his native State and her endan gered homes and temples—in defence of the weak against the strong—or whether he fought for the Stars and Stripes of the im perial Union." In other words, our future generations are to love treason as they do patriotism. They are to revere the man who tore down our country's flag and trampled it in the dust, as they do the man who • They are to place died Ili dPfenee , our Arnolds beside our Washingtons; our Davises beside or AM our Lint-.tolag. It this prediction of ilenjamin Wood't ever to be fulfilled, it will be in a time so remote that history will have become apocryphal and the traditions of the period in which we live have merged into the idlest fables. It will be "one of these days" before "all Americans will be proud of the fame of Stonewall Jack son, and will enrol his name on the proud list of American heroes and sol diers." We have ho patience with this mock sympathy for the men who, but for the courage and patriotism of the North, would have destroyed the fabric of our glorious Union; and none but an in grained enemy of his country would have the impudence to come before the American people with such appeals as this of Ben. Wood's. Stonewall Jackson was no doubt a brave man and an able one. He was Lee's right arm, and Lee never achieved any success after he died. More than this, he was probably a man of excellent personal character, equal in I this respect, perhaps, to thousands of the officers and men of the Union armies. What of all this? He was a traitor. A deliberate and voluntary traitor, only the more dangerous because of his military ability. He deserves, as does every man who occupied the same position, nothing at the hands of the American people but perpetual infamy, and the men who seek to excuse sun palliate the crime, and to avert or miti gate its proper punishment, are recreant to every principle upon which the loyal masses of the North engaged in and fought out this terrible war. Stonewall Jackson has left a widow and child in needy circumstances. Be fore they bee ,me widow and orphan he had filled tLe homes of the North with widows and orphans. He had produced a wide-spread desolation which can never be repaired. He had done more, per haps, to imperil the life of the Nation than any angle one of the rebel elates. There is an astounding audacity in coin ing now and inviting contributions at the North for this man's family. Aud yet the appeal will probably meet with many responses. Not only in New York but even it , loyal Philadelphia, we are well supplied with men who have lived for four years under the pro tection of our flag only to de sire and to plot its destruction. We have men enough whose sympa thies are all with treason and the agents of treason. We have doctors and lawyers and divines (?) who will be glad to help such a noble cause as this. We have men who saw, through successive summers, our brave soldiers necessarily detained around our public offices under thebroilingmid-daysun,withoutoffering them a cup of cold water in the name of the Union, but whose doors flew open and whose tables groaned with dainties as soon as the same streets were croWded With - the discharged inmates of Fart Delaware. Those men,who make merry over the testimonial which Congress has' doled out to the %family of Abraham incoln, will be delighted to contribute to the family of the traitor Stonewall Jackson. , THE DAILY EVENrN(T BULLETIN : PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1865. The full returns of the State census of New York have been efficially pub-, fished.' The population of the entire. State in 1865 was 3,880,727,- being a decline of 48,950 since 1860, when the United States census was taken. At this rate of decline, and with Pennsyl vania increasing in population as she is, we shall soon be able to claim for her the title of the Empire State, as well as that of the Keystone. The fact is, Pennsylvania is growing by the decline of New York. Our oil, our coal, our iron and our vast industrial interests of other kinds are tempting people away from New York. After the next Na tional census it is not improbable that we shall be entitled to as large a repre sentation in Congress as New York, and that will be a good thing for the country at large, as well as for Pennsylvania.
