Rust (t,rrecto-rubigo rem) has been fear fully destructive in its ravages on th e whe at Crop in many sections this season. In the immediate vicinity of Chambersburg there is scarcely a field that has escaped its withering blight, in some instances utterly destroying the graln and in others damn aging it in various degrees. We noticed one field, in good soil south of the town, in which the straw was perfectly black and no grains formed in the heads at all save in exceptional cases and thewbut im perfectly developed: and in nearly-if not quite every field within a eirctiit of three miles the rust has made its Woi'ic with more or less destructiveness. -Rich and poor land ; highi. low and rolling : good and bad - aiming; early and late sowing —all seem to have been visited with the fatal scourge. We have wheat on low, strong limestone land; on tumbling-stone and. on slate—on old and new laud ; on heavy and light, and not one field escaped the rust. None of it is totally destroyed: bat between the rust and the milk-weevil we have lost fully one-half the promised yield, and will have both inferior grains and straw. But while the immetlltfte vicinity of 'Chambersburg is thus affected, we believe that the rust has not prevailed generally throughout the county. In Green, Mont gomery, Washington and Antrim it has not been seriously destructive. andwe be lieve that the Northern part of the county has in a great measure escaped also. Why there should be rust on the most fertile farms aroand Chambersburg, and the coun try five miles distand measurably or wholly escape it, is most unaccountable ; but when it is : considered that the enemy is but imperfeetly understood, none of its apparent freaks or singularities need ex cite surprise. When the origin of rust is perfectly mastered, a remedy will proba bly appear ; but 2ve must confess that Jest at present it seems to defy all human in vestigations for an effectual remedy. All we know of it is that it is a mushroom of the family of the uredines. It developes upon both surfaces of the leaves, upon the stubble and upon the beads with the ap- _ pearance of little oval points, pulverulent,. projecting, at first yellowish in color and afterwards becoming black, when its work of destruction is complete. The little streaks which at first form in parallel lines at the side of the fibers, finally spread and run together, forming large patches. If the streaks formed by the rust be at tentively examined upon the stalk, and particularly uPem the leaf, the epidermus or exterior coating of the plant, it will be found.that the sap escaping through the split gives birth to the Arm ther it is raised from the ground by the rains, carried through the air by the winds, or absorbed in the earth with the nourish ing juices of the plant, is not a settled question. It almost invariably shows it self when a hot sun suddenly succeeds protracted rains. It, is at the time when the evaporation of the water left upon the stocks and leaves, going on too rapidly, occasions' cracks in the vitreous varnish which covers all parts of the growing stock. and thus permits the sap to deflect from its ordinary course, that this enemy fastens upon the stock; but whether the mushroom is formed by the mere sap es caping, or whether the sap is thus trans formed by exterior causes, we do not pre tend to determine. Certain it is that as soot as the surface varnish of the stock is broken or split, the sap, or vital nourish ment of the grain, escapes and flows down the outside of the stem instead of reach ing its proper destination to 'Perfect the head, and both stock and grain languish or die. 'The leaves quickly begin to dry up and the crop ripens prematurely with a partial or total loss of the grain. Ex cessive heat and moisture alternating evi dently are the immediate causes of the development of rust ; but the primary cause or causes, which must be fully un derstood before a remedy can be assured, have yet to be mastered by the scientific agriculturist. The experience of wheat growers has established the fact that in sections where there is a natural humidity of the soil and frequent mists, the rust has been most de-, structive. In some sections of South Car olina the cultivation of wheat has been entirely aband4ned in consequence of the prevailing misti+and dampness of the soil, while in the vicinity of the sea the rust seldom effects the wheat crop injuriously. But the action of the rust ill this immedi -ate section this year seems to defy all pre viouslAtccepted rules touching its origin. We haVe it on high, light, dry land as well as on heavy moist land ; and the abund ance of lime in the land seems to have been powerless to arrest it. Fields but recently limed have shared the same fate as lands not limed at nil, thus dispeliug the long accepted theory that Hare is one of the most succesful foes of the rust. The theory laid dowil by the best wri ters on the subject is thit silicious or san dy soil best resist rust, and for that reason the application of lime, ashes &e., to the soil has been invariably reconarimided as a protection against this remorsetns agent -of destruction. The vitreous material or shining varnish that coats the stock and leaves is of the same material as glass, and is the resisting power to the escape of the sap from the stock in its passage from the roots to the head. The greater the thick ness of this gloisy coat and the stronger the stock, the greater will be its resistance to the moisture or other atmospheric in fluences which cause it - to crack and pre sent false isSues to the sap: - It is there fore naturally held that this layer of vit reous material will be stronger in propor tion as the soil itself contains or is sup plied with the elements of its composition.

CH A ttHERSBURG, 1. ) 1 - , WEDNESDAY, JULY IQ, 1865. • lEI We give herewith an accurate engraving of the design adopted for the proposed Monument to be erected in the Soldiers' National Cemetery on the battle field of Gettysburg, the corner stone of which was laid on the 4th inst., with most nnpo, sing ceremony. The design Nby James G. Bat terson, of Hartford. Conn., and the monument is to be executed in marble or bronze, butv,-e would suggest that the latter be employed in its con struction, and that the metal be mainly supplied by cannon captured from the rebels during the war. There are several precedents for this— one, well known, being the Napoleon column, in the Place Vendome, Paris, the material for which was supplied by the cannon captured by French soldiers from the enemies of France; just as, some years later. the Achilles Statue in Hyde Park, London—a votive offering to the Duke of Wellington, "from the Women of England"— was made ft om French cannon taken by the itish twope, in the six-years' Peninsula cam paign and at Waterloo. The superstructure is sixty feet high, 'and con sists of a massive pedestal twenty-five feet square at the base, and is crowned with a colossal stat ue representing the Geliing of Liberty. Stand ing upon a three-quarter globe, she raises —with ber right hand the victor's wreath of laurel. while with her left she gathers up the folds of our na tional flag under which- the victory has been the materials which enter into the compo sition of the glassy ,surface of the stock and leaves, a greater quantity will neces sarily be absorbed and the plant thus be enabled to resist the rust more success fully. This theory, it must be confessed, has not proved reliable this season ; but we regard it nevertheless as a wise one inasmuch as it would IYe but good farming even if rust was unknown. Bad as the rust has been in some of the well-limed lands, it might have been much wore had the soil been deficient in that quality. Another rule deemed reasonably cerain to protect wheat from rust is early liar i-esting—or rather early sowing and the cultiyatiOtt of early varieties so as to make early harvest ; but it too has failed this year. The wheat crop has not been so nearly ripe by the middle of June for many years as it was this year, and yet the rust has attacked it almost without regard to its advanced state. We believe that the white wheat has escaped it rather batter than the' red, perhaps because it is, a little earlier: but it was by no means proof against the destroyer. We had , a large field of it on rather high and well hinted land, and it is half destroyed by rust. We cannot, therefore, since all pre cautions have failed this year, pretend to oiler any certain remedy for rust; but there are several general rules which may be adopted with the assurance that they will do good generally if they do not com bat the rust-with entire success. Sow no wheat that has been rusted in eyeu the least degree, and stubble no ground that has rust this, year. Whenever it is prac ticable lime fallow ground, and give ashes with the barn yard manure to oats stub bles. Sow only clean seed from fields II hide have entirely escaped the rust, and in selecting it look well to early varieties. Late wheat can scarcely escape rust in this section, and if it should, it will pretty certainly breed the milk-weevil in untold n anthers. With this precaution we may sot entirely escape rust; but it will give the best assurance we can Suggest against its return to devastate the golden fields in I SUGI LoSt; DRESSF,S.—" We do not see one lady in ten walking in the streets,'• says a venturesome contemporary, '• uithoutaconstmtfidgetingwith the long skirts of her dress. Some pin them up in regular spares giving them a rumpled appear. ance ; others wear• pages, or an elastic cord juht below the waist, pulling up the dress just as oter grandmothers used to do when they went to scrub the kitchen; others fi ;laically seize the sidebreaths, holding them in front, having the appearance of a desperate determination of sitting down the first convenient opprtnity. Some walk on, letting their dress hang, are suddenly brought upon the front breadth . stumble, flounder, pull up, and try it again. Now all this could be avoided.

THE TWO PRESIDENTS. Hon. John W. Forney delivered the Oration before the Literary Societies of Dickinsdn Col• lege on the 2.Bth ult. His subject was "The Two Presidents," Lincoln and'J.ohnson. Like all Mr. Forney's productions it is eloquent in diction and his tribute to the Presidents is as eloquent as it is just, while his vindication of President Johoson's policy is replete 'with wisdoniand patriotism. We give the concluding 'portion of the address:• It would seem as if it was intended, that these two men should be brought closely together, iu thb last few weeks which made the one .a glori ous martyr and the other the chief of a great peo ple. When the day of the second inauguration of Mr. Lincoln approached, Governor Johnson rwas at Nashville, engaged in his efforts to reor ganize Tennessee and bring ber back into the Union. He telegraphed me, asking if his pres ence was absolutely necessary, adding that his heart w,as in his work,and that he would rather aid in sending his adopted Commonwealth back to the hearth-stone of the old Union than to be Vice President of the United States. On con sulting with mutual friends, and especially with Mr. Lincoln, it was decided to insist upon his presence. How warmly the departed sage re garded "Andy Johnson" a hundred instances might be cited to illustrate, His knowledge of the citizen, the Senator, and the military gover nor was sufficient to inspire confidence; and the terrible sufferings of the hunted and' outlawed refugee made Andrew Johnson the object of his keenest sympathy. They were at Richmond al most on the same occasion, and reached Wash ington a few hours apart from. each other—in time to hear the greatantelligence that closed the rebellion. lam not of:those who think that when two men, whom God seemed to have made almost copies or counterparts--whose lives were so alike, and whose patriotism so equal and so genial—are suddenly severed by the bolt of death, ) it is a dispensation to be received if not with something like satisfaction, at least with a very ready resignation. I accept the decree. It would be most impious to quarrel with the in scrutable fate that permitted it, and I thank . Heaven that *e have, in Andrew Johnson, a pa triot so tried and so true, and so ready for the fierce emergencies of the future?:, But the loss of Abraham Lincoln cannot be replaced. It was as if some great orb had fallen from eternal space into everlasting chaos, jarring the whole earth, . and making the very pillars of the skies to trem ble. Our country is not.destroyed, but be who saved it died in the effort of saving it, and. can no more be replaced than the mother who gives her own life for that of her offspring. And how be yond all price is the example of Abraham Lin coln. It has almost revolutionized parties. Not nie strong word that Mr. Lincoln said when he entered office, and maintained when he was most violently assaildd, has ever been mollified and ex plained, but rather literated and strengthened; yet is it true that long before the assassin stole away his life, be had almost conquered antago nism and dumbfounded envious faction itself. - I may be answered that, "Success wins sometimes more than virtue;" and this is true of vulgar minds. But Lincoln's Victory was 'in this: he never let go the helm. bark, thick, and tefii pestuous were many of the - heavy hours of the past Tour years; but the star of hope shone stead ily on the altar of his heart. The darkest month of the year 1861 was the month of April; the . darkest part of the year 1865 was the middle of the month of April. The rebellion broke upon us in the'first and ended in the last. The earli est martyrs to the cause of liberty gave up their lives in April, four years ago; and the most pus. frions martyr of tbu century gave up his life in April of 1865. We were unprepared for war In April of 186.1 ; we were prepared for peace m April of 1865 ; and when the faithful recorder shall conic to compile the materials, for the illus tration of the close of this mighty struggle, he will be overawed to note that a month which commenced with such fair prospects should have So gloomily ended. Early in the month, the first VOL. 72,.:.. WHOLE NO. 3,714 fruits of Grant's masterly strategy were; gathered. On the 2d of April he annountt the triumphant Ince es aof oar armies, after the days' hard fight ing. On the. 3d of April, he isent word to the President that he had taken Petersburg and Richmond, and was in full pursuit of Lee's re treating army. On the 6th of April Sheridan, and Humphreys and Meade and Wright repor ted_ the continuous triumph of their conquering columns. •On the 9th of April General Grant telegraphed the Secretary of War that Lee had surpendered the army of Northern Virginia upon the terms proposed by himself. On the 11th of April, al of gmtjtjAde to G o d, forgiveness to his foes, and love for all, Mr. Lin coln spoke from the windows of the Presidential mansion these words- Which, precious as his last on earth, sound like the syllables of inspiration as we read them now. The rejoicing thousands had called upon him the evening before, but that he might weigh and condense his opinions he asked for time to deliberate. - On the P2th we had an other day of jubilee. and on the 13th the night was set apart for .pe;:ial illumination. -Never did the political capital of the nation - shine more resplen dently in the robes of light. It was as if Peace and Reconciliation had joined hands over the graves of the illustrious dead : --as if war and woe had fled to the extremest shades., The next was Friday, the 14th of April—another morning of happiness. But what a night As Igo back to that:dreadful recollection, I go back to the fright ful agony, that made millions mourn. I was in Richmond when it was announced that Mr. Link coin had been murdered. It seemed to me ag if Nature had taken a pause—as if, between the lading night- of war, and the dawning blushes of peace stood our farewell sacrifice—as if having just learned to love, to. revere, to depend upon him, to place our cares and hopes in his keeping, as in a sacred repository—he should be called away. As Elijah was swept from earth to Hea ven, so was our deliverer taken froinus. If there is a solace for such a calamity, it is that he died without shame, in the midst. of his glory, and at the very threshold of the temple of a rescued and purified Republic. Nothing is more wonderful than to see how the President gone, and the President here agree on the questions of the day—the very issues, in fact, which Mr. Lincoln may be said to have; died in the very act of solving. Longyears ago AnZrew Johnson denied.the right of any State to secede from the Union. Ile insisted that rebellion could not destroy a State government This doctrine, universally accepted by loyal men from the first day of the war, is now cheapened by some who would hold it in abeyance to secure an imaginary party advantage. As it is the very kernel of the nut—the very gold of the mine—itt fact, the -vital spirit of the Government—for which our soldiers fought and our statesmen deliberated—it is worth something to know exactly where these two rep resentative characters stood in regard to it. Mr. - Lincoln, on Tuesday evening, the I lth of April, leiZ, in time last speech he ever made, thus met the question, in terms substantially identical with the words of Johnson in the Senate in 18150 and 1861, and in the Presidential canvas of 1864 : _ - - - IZM wm "We all agree that the seceded. States, so called, are out of their proper practical relation with the Union; and that the sole object of the Govern ment, civil and military-, in regard tothose States. is to again get them into that proper practical relation. I believe it is not only it smble, but in fa}t easier to do this, without deciding or even ,considering whether these States have ever been out of the Union, than with it. " Finding themselves safely at home, it would be utterly immaterialithetlier they lied err,. been abroad. Let us all join iu doing the acts necessary to re storing the proper practical relations between these Statt!s and the Union; and each forever af ter innocently indulge his own, opinion whether, in doing the acts, he brought the states from without into the Union, or only gave them pro per assistance, they never having been out of it. The amount of constituency, so to speak,.on which the new Louisiana Government rests, would be more satisfactory to all, if it contained fifty, thirty or even twenty thousand, instead of only about twelve thousand as it really does. "It is also unsatisfactory to some that the elective franchise is not given to the colored man. I LCOlLid prtfc r :kit it were now conferred on the reeerntelligent and on those who serre our cause as soldiers. Still the question is not wheth er the Louisiana government, as it stands, is quite all that is desirable: The question is • Will it be wiser to take it as it is, and help to improve it; or to reject and disperse it ?' Can Louisiana be brought into proper practical relation with the Union sooner by sustaining or by discarding her new State government ?" Ref!rnng to his former views the - new Presi dent who succeeded Mr. Lincoln, said, in his speech to the Indiana delegation, on the .2.2. d of kpril, 1865: •'lJpon this idea of destroying States my posi tion- has been heretofore well knon a, and 1 see no.cause to change it now, and I am glad to hear its on the present occasion. Some are satisfied with the idea that States are to be .lost in territorial and other divisions; are to lose their character at States. But their life breath has been only suspended, and it is a high constitu tional obligation ire hare to secure each of these States in the possession and enjoyment of a republi can form of Gorernment. A State may be iu the Government with a peculiar institution, and-by the operation of the rebelliou lose that feature; but it was a State when it went into rebelliwn, and when it comes out without the institution it is still a State.•' The question of colored suffrage, which Mr. Lincoln would give fn "the very intelligent," and "to those who serve car cause as soldiers," is thus met by President Johnson, m his address to the South Carolina delegation, oil Saturday last: " I will again sffytto you that slavery is gone. Its status is changed. There is no hope you can en tertain of being admitted to representatiomeither iu the Senate or House of Representatives, till you give evidence that you, ton, have accepted and reeoguized that that institution is gone. That done, the policy adopted is not to -restore the supremacy of the Government at the point of the bayonet, but by the action of the people. While this rebellion - has emancipated a great many negroes, it has emancipated stiff more lute men. The negro in South Carolina that belonged to a man who owned from one to fitls hundred slaves, thought himself befter dam the white man who owned pone. He felt the white man's superior. I know the position of the poor white man of the South, compelled to till the bar ren, sandy, and poor soil for a subsistence. You cannot deny how he was, in your eyes. of less value than the negro. Some here iu the North think they can controland exercise a greater in fluence over the negro than you can, though his future must materially depend on, you. Let us speak plainly ou this subject. I too am a South ern luau; have owned slaves, bought slaves, but never sold one. You and I understand this bet ter ; we know our friends are mistaken, and I tell you that I don't want yon to have control of these negro votes against the vote of this poor , NS bite man. I repeat, our friends here are Mis taken, as you . : nd I know, as to where the coil- trol of that negro vote would fall. When they come to talk about the elective franchise, I say I let each State judge for itself. I am for free Government; for emancipation; and I am tbr emancipating the white wan as well as the black luau." - It will be seem•therefore, that President Lin coln, while recommending that " the very intelli gent" negroes, and those who have fought-for the tlag, should vote does not once propose that Con gress shall take charge of the subject. All is left to the States. President Johnson takes the same ground iu stronger language. He believes if Con gress,could confer the right of suffrage upon the South Carolina implies, their former masters would control them; and he emphatically de clares that he does not desire thi•, to be so, used as these votes would be against the poor whites ef the State, and fot the/benefit of the aristocra cy of the soil. I might add many other sustaining thoughts. Tile danger of giving to Congress the right to regulate suffrage now is that it may be used hereafter to enable a were party majority to oppress a State or section. In all the so-call ed seceding States, save two, the white popular tion exceeds the colored; and in most of them. largely so. The white people of those States, with almost entire unanimity, are intensely hos tile to the principle of regro suffrage. However unreasonable or unjust this hostility May, be, it is a fact which stares us in the face, and with which the Government is compelled to deal. If, in re organizing these States preparatory to their full reinstatement iu the Union, the right of the :a grees to vote should be guaranteed to them by the interposition of the General Government , would it not have the effect of so uniting the white voters, in all elections, upon candidates of their own exclusive selection that the colored Vo ters, being in the minority, would be rendered ut terly powerless? Even in the States of South c o mm . a.and M, ssippi, where the are in the majority, it is by no means probable that at a first election they would' be able to rally to the polls in suScient , ftmrabers to outvote the more intelligent thouglFless numerous race. It would take time for them to learn that they had the right to vote; and even if aware of the right, they would scarcely have the intelligence neces iary to its exercise in any effective manner. If the effect would be so to unite all white voters on the stuns candidates as utterly to nullify the political power of the negroes, would the,ren elected under such circumstances, probably bh of the class most favorable to the amelioration of the condition of the colored populationl. These are practical considerations which it will notdo to wholly ignore in our eagerness to establish ab stract principles of right and justice., . 4 But let tis leave the question to time—to the care of ,a loyal Congress—to the vigilant fidelity of a devoted Union President, who proclaimed himself the friend of the masses of the - colored race of Tennessee, and will never allow them to be oppressed_ by their -recent masters,_lt _will not be many days before these latter realize, by • the best evidences, that the only way to sectire, the admission of their Senators and members to Congress is to adopt the amendment of the Con stitution abolishing slavery to provide for the education of the colored population, and for the payment of colored labor by a wise and generous plan, and to repeal the odious penal_ codes made necessary by the accursed system ofslarery. Till these things are secured, they will be - kept out of the halls of the nation's legislature. When they are secured, the American citizen of African de scent will have a chance to fit fkiinself for thatrsa•. cred citizenship which ought never to have been bestowed - upon ignorant or lazy men, white or black. Both Lincoln and Johnson agree, there fore, that there can be no destruction of State sovereignty by secession—that the question of suffrage belongs to the States, and not to Con gress—and that slavery is dead by military suc cess, by Executive proclamation, by Congress ional statute, and by the acts soon to be comple ted by three-fourths of the States, ratifying the amendment of the National Constitution forever abolishing it. When the impulsive Romeo, eager to propiti ate hie love, would have hurried the philosophi cal and tranquil Friar Laurence, who promised to hid him in his suit, the patient priest exclaims : Wisely - and slow; they stumble that run fart." Let us take the axiontind the moral to our own hearts. The swift and Vazzling panorama of war, which flashed its meteor changes before our astounded eyes, and achieved reforms that could not have been wrought by centuries of peace. should not tempt us into a spirit of fatal imitation. The fabric of free fdiernment saved in the shock of battle will soon resettle into the regular grooves of law and order. Institutions necessarily set aside, that treason might be punished, and Gov ernment be able to put forth all iteenergies m the /Wale for its existence, will soon - resume their wholesome :influence. •Time, reflection, system, are the essential auxiliaries. Nor, indeed, need we be in haste. Least of all should we appre hend failure, because of present doubts and con tingent difficulties Behold the catalogue of won ders on the page of the last four years' history— wrought in the progress of this triumplituit war for human freedom. In an age that, compared with the last generations, seems like an age of miracles, the ovetthrow of the rebellion was the grandest and moat sublime of miracles. The ma lignant prophecies of. our enemies everywhere, which they are now so anxious' to forget, glare upon them from the page of history, like so many reproaches of their ignorance and their hatred. In war, on land and sea, in finance, in statesman. ship, in diplomacy, in the inexhaustibility of our resources, in our inventions, in the.wondrons pros perity, and comfort of the loyal people, in the de liverance of four millions of human beings from slavery. in the disbanding of a multitudinoui ar my, and the dismantling of a uaritirger than that of any.of the nations of the coati, we may find not only the material for felicitatlen but for a su perior and a solid consolation. There is- no lion in the path of our future so fierce as those which have been subdued and slain in the paths of the past-. Let us, therefore., confide our destiny to the constituted and constitutional agencies of the Government, and to that benign Providence which has ‘iritched over us from the perilous beginning to the victorious close. A. 8AJ..1.00:c DUEL—Perhaps the most remark able dhel ever fought took place in 1803. It was peculiarly French in its tone, and could hardly have occurred under any other than a French state of society. M. Le Granpre and M. Le Pique bad a quarrel, arising out of jealousy concerning a lady engaged at the Imperial Opera. They agreed to fight a duel to settle their respective claims ; and in order that the heat of angry passion should not interfere with the polished elegance of the proceeding, they postponed the duel for a month, the lady agreeing to bestow her sidles on the sur vivor of the two, if the other waslilled ; or, at all events, this was inferred by the two men, if not actually expressed. The duelists were fight ing in the air. Two balloons were constructed precisely alike. 'On the day denoted, Le Granpre and his second entered the car of one balloon, Le Pique and his second that of the other; it was iu the Garden of .the Tuileries, amid the immense concourse of spectators.' The gentleman were to fire, not at each other, but at each other's bal loons, in order to bring them down by the escape of gas ; and, as might hardly have served the purpose, each mronant took a blonderbus in his car. At a given signal the ropes that retained the cars were cut, and the balloons ascended. The wind was moderatt, and kept the balloons in about their original distance of eighty yards apart. When half a Mile above the surface of the earth, a preconcerted signal for firing was given. M. Le Pique fired but missed. M. Le Granpre fired and sent a hall through Le Pique's balloon. The balloon collapsed, the car descended with frightful rapidity, nod Le Pique and his second were dashed to pieces. Le Granpre con tinued his' ascent triumphantly, and terminated his mrial voyage successfully at a distance of seven leagues from Paris. A SAILOR'S DESCRIPTION OF A DANCE.- Hama had any fun with the land lubbers till Thursday night at a dance. When I arrived in the cabin found 'em all underweigh of a Spanish dance. Took my station in line with Susan Tuck er—fell back and filled, then shot ahead two fath oms—hauled up on starboard tack to let another craft pass, and then came stern on another sail— spoke her and bore round against the dun, and fell in' with another sail in full chase. Passed twenty sails on same course and went half across to the other shore. dropt astern—fell back— couldn't fill, so let go anchor and hauled up far repairs. Next time I was drawed into the current by Cowtillion, but didn't make much headway. Shot ahead with Betsey Stark and sailed over to the other coast. Took a turn opposite, ranged abiast towards other crafts and took astern again— moved round to starboard—passed near partner's light and made sail for berth. Third time run me into port to the time of the. mpest—the Yankee tar's favorite. Proceeded along the coast accordlig to the regular order of sailing—bore ahead again—rounded to--then passim adversely yard-arm to -yard•arm locked astern with the whole squadron in circular order of s ailing—Sally Jones uaanceuvring and making s ignals when under fall sail. Finally anchored after a heavy squall. , THE New York Daily News, edited by Ben. Wood, one of the most ultra Democratic papers in the - country, and which has served the rebel cause us faithfully during the war as any paper in the South, on the -.2t , th ult. came out squarely in favor of negro suffrage. This will undoubtedly surprise the Democracy in some quarters who are accustomed to shape their opinions according to their directions from headquarters. The ground taken by the News - is that nothing stood between the colored man and full citizenship but slavery, and now this impediment is gone througtLthe ac tual operations of the war, and the liberate : A black stands himself a citizen, and as the abstract right to vote inheres in every citizen, why not hi the na tive black man ? It speaks of it as a measure de manded by the best interests of the Smith, and says that many of the leading men in that section are favorable to the measure, and that in negro suffrage the acute and well instniett. - 41 Southern statesman beholds a now world of political power.
