Mr. WILKINSON (Abolitionist.) I

indeed I thought, thero was some mi-take
about it, because 1 did not know that any
colored persons woro comininioried with
tho rank of Major by tho Piesident of ths
United States; and 1 was in hopes, fur
tho honor of the country and for the honor
of tho cupital, that thore was some mistake
in regard to it, Sir, I hopo this roferouoa
will bo made , and that tho Committee on
tbo District of Columbia will sro to it that
no corporation ehall hereafter commit such
aD outrngo,
Mr. HENDRICKS (Drmoerat.) I
would have given a silent vote on this res
olution, except for the explanations that
bavo been made by tho Senator who intro
duced it and'the S?rator from Minnesota.

Mr. WILSON In reply to the queh
ti on olthe Senator I will say that there is
uo donbt that it is true. In th is cao these
persons were fa iced into tho interior car,
and tho gentlemen told mo ho rode nearly
all the way nsoue, when tbcro was room
for a largo number of other persons in tl o
car, IIo inquired about if of two officer.,
and iho answer was that thoso cars woro
lor "tho nirgers !"
Mr. HKNlHilCUa. Du.ing tho very
cold "inter weather toward tho commence

of Seuators, the veterans from the potonnc
aud tho Rapinam eamo into tbi3 city in

want ot Ore ; and jet neithor that Senator
nor any other Senator felt that tho causo
of humanity anil right required thorn lo
cull tho tutentiou of thu Senate to tho cir
oumslnnec.
I am Fati.-iVd, sir, that tho Senators
havo now declarid tho end to which wo
are to como, and that by the xction of iho
Federal Government, the so'IiI as well as
the political tquutity of the negro is to b"
foicod upon the white race, if that bo
the judgment of tho country wo shall have
to accept it. iho peoplo that I represent
in this Chamber have not yet adopted that

A Voice From Alabama.
Tho lion. D. U. Humphreys, who has
abandoned the rebel cause has issued an
duress to his lollow citizen ot Alabama,
some portions of which the public have
already seen. Speaking of an alliance
wjtb fiomo rurej power ho says:

would hold us in subjection to its will j
As 1oiiit as tho political construction re I
maiiied, the South nevor was at tho nioroy
or will of the North,"
Mr. Humphrey's seems to differ from
many of the people of the N"rth as to the
restruetion of our libeities, for he says:
"A'ud I am satisfied that the Stato of
Alabama can make peace upiu terms of
i qualt) in the Union. The property of
the country tiny be saved, and above all
the honor of tho State aud tho freedom of
tho people may bc secured by peace. 1

those who presumptuously and arrogantly
say that tho Southern iSUitus can make

Such are without reason and aro blind to
facts Nature has bound tho South to the
United States Oovcrnment, and the work
ot man has followed out in all tho improve
ments that have been made, the great do.-i!n
of Nature. How can Tennessee scnorate
herself from Kentucky, or Alabama sep-
orate from Tennessee; or how can the
South get along without. tho ports of New
Orleans, and Pensacola. nud Mobile 1
Or how can tho States of Missouri, Illi
in 'a Indiana, Iowa, Wi.scHisin, Mtehigin,
Ohio enjoy the free, unrestrieted unmoles
ted navigation of iho Misissippi without a
common law rogulatiug tho intercourse,
and that regulation ol'itsolf, with tho views
citcrlatncd, ainu ints to Union ? Iho
great Northwest is unwilling to dissolve
the old Union, and they make common
cause with the Ecat and Middle to hold
all together.''
A Painful Narrative.
The following is an extract from a let
ter written by a lady rc.idmg at Sea'on,
near Axmiuis'.er, England :
There is a small fishing village near
hero that i literally p!ague-.-tnekeu with
measles ; the children aro dying by dozeus.
I'he inhabitants are ail Mtilor? and fishtr
mun, aud at this time of thu year always
ui want. Tbe children do not die of the
complaint, but of weakness abd htarvation
afterwards. We are all at work boiling
soup and doing wbat we can for tho pour
starved thiogs. They come over tho hill
twenty at a lime, aud receive a blanket.
abeel, 4II. ot h.eail, '-lot. ot tea, and lour
yarih ol'fliunel. The bell is toiling con
st inth ,anJ five or six children aro brought
over hero in a cart to be buried daily.
The village altogether is like a thing you
dream of. The mothers themselves look
like hungry wolves, without a feeling left
for their dead children. 1 nave only seen
ens woman crying, until I said a kind
word, buch as "The suinnwr is coming,
and better times, please God,'' and then
thuy sob us if they would go into hyter
ius Irom Weakness. In ouo den I visited,
there were sis children lyiujf before the
fireplace, and I nsl.cd tho woman if they
were hungry. '"No," she said, ' thank
God they are not so huugry as I am, for
I have nothing to give them. I could eat
the Uble board." I can only give them
mv work and sticurrth. and tho dead

Singular Discrepancy.

a letter from him to E M. Stintou, Sec

letter with a slight variation. In General

of this letter are: 'If I save this army
now I tell you plait.ly that I owo no

Southern Women.
The correspondent of tho Tribune, an

women: "i shall never bo dono admiring
