nant-general Sheridan the Missouri, from Chicago; and Major-general McDowell the South, from Louisville. General Sherman, the Commander-in-Chief, is stationed at St. Louis. Each military division consists of two or more departments. The division of Major-general McDowell, of which New Orleans forms a part, consists of two departments:--a Department of the South, and a Department of the Gulf. That of the South comprises seven States: Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Florida, except the forts in Pensacola Bay, from Fort Jefferson to Key West. The Headquarters are at Louisville, where General McDowell resides. That of the Gulf comprises three States: Louisiana, Mississippi, and Arkansas, with all the military stations in the Gulf of Mexico, from Fort Jefferson to Key West, except the forts in Mobile Bay. The Headquarters are at New Orleans, where General Emory commands, under the orders of his superior officer, General McDowell. Gener

But for her Negro population, Georgia would have an English look. The Negro is a fact-though not the fact of facts — in Georgia.

sed by the success of this new policy. Working through the Negro rather than against him has begun to pay. Chamberlain is changing front; for, with his new Assembly, he could never hope to do in Columbia what Kellogg is attempting to achieve in New Orleans. A case has just occurred which puts his feeling to the test. For many months complaints have been coming to his Cabinet of great disorders in Edgefield county. Edgefield county lies on the Savannah river, bordering Lincoln county in Georgia; a region in which the coloured people have a great majority of souls. There is a Black militia, a Black general, and a Black staff, as well as a Black sheriff, a Black judge, and other Black officers in Edgefield county. The White inhabitants are treated as a subject race. If any White man resents an insult, the Black militia is ordered out. You cannot call out the State militia, say the citizens it's against the Constitution; but the Negro captains and colonels in Edgefield county kn

outhern States Virginia was the worst. She had the least excuse for slavery, and she held the largest number of men in bonds. She was the supreme Slave State. Georgia, Louisiana, and Alabama had some shadow of excuse. They wanted labour on their land-white labour, as they fancied, was impossible; and they could only get black p the harvest, for the country is one of the healthiest on the American Continent. The air is dry. No marshes, and few stagnant pools exist. Ague, the plague of Georgia and Louisiana, is hardly known in Virginia. The rainfall corresponds to that of France, the sunshine to that of Sicily and Andaluz. A man accustomed to no great This salubrity of the climate tempted the Virginians to convert their pleasant homesteads into breeding-grounds; into nurseries from which the slave-markets of Georgia, Alabama, and Louisiana might be fed. Lucre tempted them. In many Southern States the Negro race began to fall off as soon as the African slave trade was suppr

kapoos, who cannot be caught, and the Comanches and Cheyennes, who cannot be taxed. A mere fringe of sea-board, the young Republic lay along the shores and inlets of a narrow mountain slope. From Penobscot river in Maine to Attamaha river in Georgia the inhabitable land was seldom more than a hundred miles in depth. Here and there a fertile valley ran up two or three hundred miles, but the foot of the Alleghannies usually came down within a hundred miles of the sea. At one point only had t and nothing like a free use of that river could be obtained from the French viceroys reigning at New Orleans. By nature and events alike the young Republic seemed confined to her original seat, the shores and inlets running down from Maine to Georgia. When the War of Independence closed, not a few good men were saddened by the out-look. The nobler passions, called into activity by the war, were spent, and nothing but the ordinary waste and wreck of civil strife was left. Even Washington

s staggered to perceive that the older and richer States are no better educated than the rest. Nobody would expect to find a shining literary light in Texas or New Mexico; but almost everyone would fancy that New York and Pennsylvania would in point of common schools hold their heads extremely high. Yet New York and Pennsylvania rank among the lowest of the pure White States. In New York there are nearly two hundred and forty thousand persons who cannot read and write, and Pennsylvania follows closely on her neighbour's heels. Virginia is, however, the greatest sinner. In a population of one million and a quarter she numbers nearly half-a-million of illiterates. Georgia, Tennessee, and the two Carolinas follow in her wake; Virginia, being the recognised leader of her Southern sisters. Whether she goes right or wrong, these States seem ready to go with Virginia into right or wrong. To sum up all. The native Americans who cannot read and write amount to nearly five millions!
