We have been shown a copy of an address to "the colored people of tbe United State," which purports to be issued by a committee, appointed t n Mass mru'tiu" of the colored citizens of Massachusetts, held in the city of New Bedford in August last, and which is being very indus triously circulated among the colored people of this country. The object of the address is to induce the colored people to vote for Grant and Colfax, and to accomplish this an appeal is made lo their cupidity, by holding out hopes to them that in the event of their success the govern ment will distribute a large amouut of money .among the colored people- " the result of iheir labor during the last three years of their slavery, which the govcrnnent took charge of, gold, and put into the treasury of the govern ment." This is all done for the purpose of de ceiving the colored people. There is no such .fund on hand as the address refers to, and its authors knew there was not when they wrote the address. The colored people will no more .obtain any money from that sluice than they obtained the promised forty acres and a mule. The colorod people are also urged to report the names to the Committee of the colored people jvho refuse to heed their advice. This is done for the purpose of frightening them into mea sures. The colored people may rely upon this: No such report will ever be made, or if made .will amount to nothing. Salisbury Xorth Staff.

Sensible Man.- -During his remarks last .Saturday night, General Blow stated that the time was when a man could sit down in hio store, or place of business, and trade came to .him ; but the newspapers contended that to suc ceed itoic, you must advertise your goods or wares, or fail of success. And, said G en. B., this is true : advertising is one of the great ele ments of success, and every live business man understands this and avails himself of it. Xor folk Journal. - Gen. Sherman on Universal Neuro Suffrage. Gen. Sherman made a speech to the returned Federal soldiers, at Chicago, in August, 1SG5, in which he thus referred to ne gro suffrage : 'I want those who have been in the South, to bear testimony to the condition of these freed negroes. My opinion is that they are not fitted for the exercise of the franchise. I want them to get a fair price for their labor, but I do not think they are fitted to take part in the legisla tion of the country." Gen. Sherman's views, although he supports Grant, are in marked contrast with those of the leaders of the Disunion party. The basis of set tlement agreed on by himself and Gen. John Eton, at the close of the war, proved him a man who possessed much magnanimity, and if this action in that matter had been sustained, our country would now be more prosperous than it is. The Insurrection in Spain. The cause of Queen Isabella seems to be be coming daily more hopeless. The rising be comes more and more general. When we con sider that the telegraph wires have been cut and all railway communication seriously disturbed, the news must be admitted to reveal a state of feeling all over the country which is fatal to the prospects of Queen Isabella. 1 1 .ft. red of the present jrovernment rather than any desire for constitutional reform seem to be the dominant characteristic of the revolution so far as it has gone. No cry has been raised in favor of a re public, nor has the popular voice yet pronounced with distinctness the name of a substitute for Queen Isabella. Thus far the revolution, though it has been general and somewhat determined, has been wanting in point and purpose. It is not enough to be decided on the removal of the Queen and her hated ministers; there ought to have been some agreement among the rebel lead ers :is to the kind of erovernment which should succeed. It will not surprise us if this want of definite aim and purpose proves fatal to the hopes of the revolutionists. That some change wiil be effected there can be no doubt, but the danger is that the change will not be sufficiently radical to allay discontent and to render future rising unnecessary and unwise. So far as we know the facts, but one definite proposal has been made, and that has been made by the friends ol the yacen. n e reur to me proposal that the Queen should abdicate in favor of the vounir Prince of the Astuiias. the Queen's J only sou and of course the heir tothe mouarchy. We have no notion that such an arrangement would satisfy the revolutionists. Wc are less satisfied that it would give lasting peace and con- tentuient to the nation. The Prince is only in his eleventh year. His appointment, therefore, could have no other effect than to revive all the horrors of the regency of which Spain in the early years of Isabella had such bitter experience. There are two-other candidates for the throne the Prince dc G:rgenti, who is married to the Queen's eldest daughter, and the Due do. Mout pensier, who is the husband of the Queen's sis ter : but as the one is a Neapolitan Bourbon and the other a member of the House of Orleans, Napoleon is little likely to sanction the appoint ment of cither. The only other possible claim ant is the heir of Don Carlos ; but his chances are small. An Act to Punish Bribery and Coercion in Elections. The General Assembly of North Carolina do enact: Sec. 1.

We have received, from official sources, a statement showing the total cost of the govern ment buildings and grounds and improvements in Washington city, including the lighting and cleaning of the same, and all expenses connected therewith, and nd that up to June30, 18G3, Congress had appropriated in all for such pur poses 841,501,550.28.

A correspondent of the Richmond dispatch, writing from Loudon county, the grcit wheat region of Virginia, states that the farmers in that section have almost universally adopted the plau of drilling their wheat, instead of the old method of sowing broadcast. The advantages claimed for this method arc : 1. Only half the quantity of seed is -cquired; thus saving $1.25 in the seeding of each acre of land. 2. The wheat is covered a uniform depth, and is protected from the fieezes and thaws of winter by having its roots protected. 3. Where manures are used, their whole force can be applied directly in the drill, at a saving of over fifty per cent, in quantity. 4. The facility wiih which weeds, cockle aud other foreign vegetation can be cleaned from the ie culti drills, and the case with which it can vated. 5. And lastly, though not least, an in creased yield of from 25 to 100 per cent, over the broadcast method. . In most of the wheat-growing States, theseed drili is brought into use for seeding wheat. The land being first broken, the drill drawn by two horses opens the furrow, drops the seed, depos its the manure in the trench, and covers. The drill covers nine rows at once nearly the same breadth made by the broadcast sower is easily managed, and does the work of half-a-dozen plows in covering the grain. The system of drilling is an improvement, iu the science of wheat growing, that should com mand attention at the South. The cost of a drill is about eighty-five dollars; and when used by a large farm, or by several farmers uuiting iu the purchase, would pay for itself iu a few sea sous by the saving of grain alone. As the seasou for seeding wheat is close at hand, we commend these facts to the consideration of wheat growers. Wild Pigeons.

Warmouth,the "carpet-bag" Governor of Louisiaua, has vetoed the Civil Rights Bill, giving negroes the same entree to public conveyances, theatres, hotels. &.C.. as white men. A perfect storm was raised by the negro members, when the veto message was received in the Legislature. They denounce what they term his ingratitude and treachery, and threaten him with impeachment. lhe wmte members ot the Legislature are confident of sustaining the veto. A Patriotic Reason. Of all the vile hum bugs we know of, the greatest is the reason given by the Radical bondholders why ether people's property should be taxed, but not theirs, 'lhey say it would lessen the national credit to tax the Bonds! Xcry tender are they of the national credit when their own interests are concerned. If the millions that would result from taxin" these bonds were only applied to making a be ginning of cancelling some of them as they shall become due, this course would raise the credit of the government more than anything that could be done; for the world would then see us really beginning to pay our debts.

We don't know how much it would cost to dis charge one of them ; but we know that it costs seventy-five dollars to fire one shot from some of our big guns at Fortress Monroe. Revenged. Romantic Episode in the Career of a Detective. From the New Orleans Picayune. "I'll tell you of au incident I never reflect on without regret," said Mr. F as he turned to the reporter in response to his request for anoth er story : -The life of a detective is not one of excite ment merely. It is sometimes crossed with events as wild aud startling as ever gave color ing to romance. No emotion, no passion or phase cf character, is hid from .us. We learn to play upon the feelings, the hatc and affec tions of men and women, as unerringly as the pianist ou his instrument. Whilst the. casuist would hesitate to take advantage of this, the ne cessity we are under compels us to omit no op portuuity which may lead us to success. "I say this, because the incident I am aboitt to relate reveals what a woman will do when ex cited by jealousy and thirsting for revenge. u We were on the treck of a man who had robb; d an Havana jeweler of almost incalculable wealth. He had fled to the United States, and, we believed, was in the Southern country. At this time New Orleans was full of Cubans' and visitors from all parts of the world. One cou ple, peculiar from the rest, excited the attention of the fashionable world, and became the favor ed pets of society, which in New Orleans that winter was perhaps the most brilliant on the continent. Their lavish expenditures, and al most Eastern magificence of apparel and equip page, excited the admiration and envy, it may be, of their .fashionable acquaintance. They, too, were Cubans. The man, inheriting all the peculiarities of the Spaniard, was, in personal appearance, a type of his race. But I cannot describe to you the woman that passed as his wife. She was the most beautiful creature I ever saw. The ideal of the poet, when he paint ed the dark-eyed maiden of Khorassan, was re alized iu her person. She seemed to me like some living beautiful idol for men to worship. The tint of the olive was on face and brow, and in the dark, luminous eyes a wealth of affection; j but they told, too. ot a spirit resentful or injus tice, and fierce m wrath as the glare ot her na- ; tive sun.- By the devious paths we pursued, when on the trail of the criminal, ws traced "our man" to the city. We new he was here, and we searched for him incessantly. But, as if to baulk our exertions and put to shame our efforts, this was all we could learn. The Spaniard was the only person who answered the description of the criminal. But what folly to suspect him! the petted courtier cf society the millionaire he would have laughed our suspicion to scorn. But still we hung around him. By a strange, magical influence it was impossible to divorce ourselves from the belief that he was the party we were in search of. This constant attendance at the places he frequented, this hovering around the sphere iu which he moved, made us at last acquainted with the fact that his wife was unhappy and ill-treated by her husband. He had begun to neglect her, and pay assiduous court to a fashionable belle. One night we saw him enter the theatre with a fair American, and entering a private box was paying her the most devoted attention. Shortly afterwards a woman, whom wre at once perceived was his wife, but evidently disguised, entered, aud passing aiound the dress-circle took a scat directly fac ing him. By a strange coincidence she waa r.ght by nic. She looked ;t the couple in the box long and earnestly ; her face, which we could see from our position, gradually changing to an ex pression of the most fearful and vindictive pas sion I ever beheld. Accustomed as I was to every phase of human emotion, it appalled me. At last she arose and left the theatre, followed by an attendant. Now was our tunc. I got up quietly anu was oy ner siue wnen sue readi ed the street. I was determined on a stroke of 1 1 11 T - T I, policy, which, if I read her couutenance aright, would place the man -in our power. If I was mistaken it could do no harm. Actuated by this impulse I placed myself iu .front of her and raised my hat. "Madam, pardon me." "What do you wish, sir, and who are you?" "My name is F . This is my friend Mr. I . We arc detectives, and in search of the robber of the Havana jewels. We believe you can point out to us the man "1 can, I can 1" It wa3 almost a shriek, so fierce and bitter hissed the words, "Come with me, come with me!" It is useless to detail what followed. The next morning the fashionable world was shocked by the intelligence of the arrest of Don C 11 . but it was still more surprising that he was betrayed by his wife. We recovered near ly 8100,000 in jewelry and gold. But to the poor woman the result was terrible. She was but the victim of his perfidy; but the moment she saw him arrested all of the old love that had .ruined her returned. She clung to his neck with a wild, frantic despair that was terri ble to see. The anguish of the young face will haunt me to my dying clay. 1 he next day she disappeared, no one knew whhher; but the day afterwards the body ot a beauutul unknown wo man was picked up on the lower coast a suicide .

Sept 21, 1SGS. J. KOESSLER & CO. Love and Small Pox. The San Francisco correspondent of the San Jose Mercury writes the following: When I tell you that three or four thousand people were vaccinated in this city last week, you will readily understand that a yellow flag waving in the breeze will create a degree of con sternation and excitement that will at least rid that immediate neighborhood of ali the noise and disturbance of hawkers, passing: foot-tramps and frequent visitors. Well, a certain popular, but very eccentric young lady, who has a string of beaux, conceived the romantic idea of testing the sincerity of her devoted admirers, who pro fessed to exist only ou her smiles, and often avowed a willingness to die for her. She avail ed herself of the temporary absence of her par ents in the country, took a servant into con fidence, procured a yellow, flag, nailed it to the gate, aud awaited the "breaking out" .of the news. It broke, and the tidings spread like wildfire ; the neighbors urged each other to re port the case to the health officer, and insist that she be taken to the pest-house. Two or three "devoteds" sought the vicinity to make assur ance doubly sure, and on spying the signal re treated hastily, denying themselves even the light diet of a smile. The family physician was questioned, but hadn't been summoned, and at last an officer boldly ventured to investigate the case and learning the trick, promptly removed the flag, not until the fact was fully established that she was abandoued to her fate, whatever it might be, by the swarms of summer friends who lived in her smiles, aud iu the prospects of her father's account. Tidings of the Fate of Sir Johii Franklin's Expedition. On last Thursday Dr. Goold arrived in New York, having reached New London, Connecti cut, iu a whaling ship from Cumberland Inlet. lie met Captain Hall at Repulse Bay, who had in his possession the watch that had belong ed to Captain Crozier, of Sir John rtankhn s Expedition, as also a gold chronometer and several small articles that had been the property of the officers of that ill-fated company of dis coverers. Captain Crozier and a steward of the Erebus, or of the Terror, died in the neighborhood of Southampton Island, about C5 N. latitude, whither they had gone, hoping to meet some whaler for the United States or Europe. The natives stated that a considerable num ber of Sir John Franklin's men had starfed from very far North to reach Southampton In let, but that they had all perished on the way, with tho exception of Captain Crozier and the steward. It was the belief of Captain Hall that the natives killed these men ; for they could not have perished from starvation, as Captain Crozier was a first-rate hunter. It is supposed that Capt. Hall may . obtain further traces of the unfortunate Expedition of Sir John Franklin in King William's Land where, as the natives report, the last six sur vivors deposited under a pile ot rocks such ar ticles as they could not carry with them. When Mr. Goold quit Capt. Hall, the latter waa pre paring to start to find out this place". We shall then know some details ot the late or the com pany of explorers up to the time when they were reduced to six survivors. Capt. II. was to have started last March, with five Europeans and some Esquimaux. The last winter is said to have been the mildest ever known in the Arctic regions, the lowest point to which the thermonetcr fell hav ing been only forty degrees below zero not colder than it was in some parts of Maine. A Matrimonial-Year. Some wiseacre has discovered the fact that the number of mar riages is in direct proportion to the price of wheat ; the cheaper the wheat, the greater the number of marriages. At least that has been the rule in England and Wales for the last twelve years, and the rule of course must work in the same way on this side of the ocean. This, then, ought to be a memorable year for marriages, for the harvests are splendid in near ly all the States. It is an ill wind that blows the parsons no good.

Kilpatrick reports a singular and horrible circumstance which took place at Arica, on the south side of that city, during the recent fearful earthquake. As the earth opened and yawned, there came up fire hundred mummies, who stood in lon lines facing the sea, every one of the skeletons in perfect preservation, the hands doubled up and supporting the chin, the knees drawn up, and the feet supporting the fleshless body. This must have been one of tho most frightful sights possible, apd quite beyond description. Tho spot where the mummies now stand was once an old cemetery sonic ninety yeara ago, it is said and these skeletons are doubtless the fabled In cas and Indians who either buried themselves alive, or were interred in this maimer.
