How far and how rapidly it may-proceed it - . . . i ' I ' 13 not possible M presaut V reujcc, nor is th'ere any very settled opinion as to the' causes of the movement, It is, spoken pf among small minded poli ticians iji thq south as the work of em missariesin the interest of northern Re publicans. This idea is very shallow, t not to say silly, for there is no evidence ofany . organization about the move ment at all. It seems that the very person? who start from their homes ori , the Mississippi valley go blindly to wards some; place of which they have very little information. They report to nobody and are managed by no agents! jThere seems to be. a epohtas , nietyfabout the migration as remarkable aa is its suddenness and extent. It bears none of the ear-marks of a scheme. It is true that now that it is started, a .' society, or eocieties, have been organ ued with a view cfl regulating the movement, and ministering to the wel fare of the new - emigrants. These so cieties seem to be on; a plan similar to j the "Karjsas Emigrant; Aid Society," of j several years ago, whose 'object was rather to guide and. control an emigra tion which promised I to be inevitable than to Stimulate the emigration itself. It is said too that certain railroads in the territories and in he western and Pacific states have been or a"fe taking steps to acenre negro labor in place of Chinese. It is even: said that Mr Hunting) ou, President of the Southern Pacific Railroad, which start from San FranciscD and ha now approached within about one hundred miles of Tuc- s n in Arizona, and is aimingat El Paso, is desirous of attracting colored labor ajong ; the line of his great highway. There Jtnay have been other induce ments held out in that vast region west of the Mississippi. But no agjeiits'seern to hayejbeen operating in the south ! excepting vagrant ticket sellers for the steamboats. . ' ' Andyet the movement goes on and is increasing. It is stated that Senator Jonas of Louisiana asserts that 3;000 have left that state alreaay. Probably j . an equal or greater number jhave deft Mississippi and Tennessee. ..If the tide continues to increase it will not be long before the labor system of the 3oulh . will be seriously ; impaired ;iu certain ; localities. The loss of 100,000 laborers from the south would be nearly as great j a calamity as if a conflagration had laid "in ashes Charleston or Savannah or Memphis. , . . - ' ' ' . j -I j" Cm ' ' THE BRUNSWICK I'llAUDS. We learn that the conduct of the i -. - - it -. .- individuals of Brunswick; county, who ' took and are now holdingvthe offices of , Clerk, Sheriff Register of Deeds; and Treasurer, after the Supreme Court had expressly, though collaterally, declared they were not elected, was dictated less by choice than by necessity. Like . the wife of the Patriarch who demand ed of her husband children or else she would die, these gentry must-have office or else they would perish. They were born with lusty appetites, and the -customs of society forbade them to go naked: They must be fed and clothed. Though the necessity of their existence ; may be doubted, yet as long as they livfi thA demands of bellv and back must be met. Dig they ' could not, begging produced small returns, so they , set up,' on the slender capital tf their wits, a shop for the reception and drs posal of stolen goods. . ; ; We shall say something about the probability of their success in their newtrade, in our next. Tlie Greenback Surrender. -We publish the following from the National Eepubliean. "The Nationals, or Greenbackers, as they are pleased alternately to call themselves, delivered the goods on hatifrday, ana now everything is serene. This w as we expected. The laws of gravitation; have wrought their legiti mate mission and landed these patrieU can loses hold upon his political with and virtue and begins to 3ally v?lth strange political gods he inevitably I abandons . himseli to the deepest po litical prostitution upon the first favor- ablev opportunity and bid.

It is well that this masquerading' under the pretense of Republicanism on all national ques tions not purely financial, sheuld come to an end thus early, for htreafler if anybody is deceived and cheated it will be the Confederates. We had hoped better things of Messrs. Weaver and De La Matyr, but when men get to going bad, there is little hope of check ing their course until tbey hare run their race. We may now xpect that De La Matyr will out HeroA Herod in his devotion to the worst phases and plots and Bourbonism, undsr the di-. rtciiiig finger of Senator McDonald and the conservative- counsels of Sena tor YQorliees. The flesertibn of Re pub! Uranism by Mr, Weaver will sub ject Jimi to the judgment or a con stituency that has been cruelly betray ed, and which hold him to a rigid accountability. No Iowa Republican can throw himself into the arms of the Confederacy in this crisis without pay ing a penalty that no statesman who desires a future can afford. However, the sale and delivery-have been accom plished, and now , wo leave these rer creanti to principle t occupy the bads they have deliberately prepared for themselves. The fate of the apostate is to be "unrcspited, unpiticd, and un reprieved." Greenbackism has digged its own grave in this surrender to the enemies of the Union, and its pliant subjects will realize the fact that "a grave, whereycr found, preaches a short and pithy sermon." It is due, to our own, immediate Representative, Hon. Daniel L. Russell, to say, that he was not present to vote on the important questions, being de- j t lined at home 'on imperative business, j in Brunswick county court. He was 1 paired with Mr. Bland, of Missouri. I Senatorial Labor3. During the Forty fifth Congress 1852 bills were introduced in the Senate. The following shows the number Intro duced by each Senator, , viz: Ingalls, j 87, Mitchell, 83; Dorsey,78; Plumb, 69; CockrelF, 53; Spencer, 01; Vorhees, 4d; Burnside, 38; Eaton and Paddock, 37 each- Sarcent, 35: Beck and Merrimon, 31 each; Maxey, S3; Edmunds, Harris, Howe, Kernan, McDonald and Morgan, 32; Cameron, of Wisconsin, Ilereford and Wallace, 81;Kirkwood, 30; Dawes, Matthews and Whyte, 29; Booth and WTindom, 27; Allison and Rollins, 2G; Garland 2o; Bailey, t erry and Jieilogg; VJ ill 1AUU. dJj XJMIXjJ j J- VjllJ wuvi .v-"U(,6l 24; Conover, 23; Chaffee and Davis, of 111., 22: Hamlin, 21; Bruce, Christian- cy, Jones, ot Fla., and Witners, 20; , c TT ... i rr, , . .,; lioar, Morrill and Teller, 19; Anthony, Board of Health.

It will be seen by the above that taore' than one-fourth ot all tne bills were introduced by seven Senator, while two Senators introduced none and two otn ersbut one each. It will be seen from the aboye that our own Senator,. Ransom, showed his .- sound sense by only introducing one bill in the last Congress. ; Senator Ransom is one of the most Useful members of the Senate, he don't make any spread-eagle speeches, and but very few-of any kind, puts orrC no airs, but works all the time for theood of his state. And when he does speak, either in the Senate or before any pommittee, what he says is heard and respected. xKMmy-lv The Boston Globs is rlmijrhface Bourbon, and it says it o thinks that General Grant cannot carry a single northern state.

Wre publish below resolutions passed by the Board of Aldermen of the city: Inasmuch as the Corporation of the City of Wilmington has been, by the hand of death, recently deprived of the services of one of its important officers, the Mayor and. Board of Aldermen de sire to place upon- record their testi- j monial of his valuable services to the City of Wilmington as its Attorney, of his genial disposition as a friend, of his sterling qualities as a man, of his ability and integrity as a lawyer, of his intrepid courage aa a soldier, and of his public spirit as a citizen. Col. WILLIAM STEWART DE VANE was born in the county of New Hanover, March 24th, 1828. Adopting the profession of the law, he was a stu dent under the late Chief Justice Pear son for two years, at Richmond Hill, in the county of Yadkin, and wa3 ad mitted to practice at the Bar in the year 1853. . He immediately entered upon the practice of his profession, and formed a law partnership with Hon. A. A. McKoy, now one of the Superior Court Judges of the state. This law firm continued to enjoy the emoluments and honors of a succeesful and lucrative practice, until it was dissolved about April, 1SG3, at which time Col. Devane entered into the service of the Confed erate States Government. -His intre pidity, his faithfulness, his fidelity, in fact his entire record at once honorable and brilliant during four weary years of war, is a part of the-history of his native state. North Carolina. In 1866 Col. Devane took up his resi dence in Wilmington, where he spent the remainder of his life engaged in the practice of the law in partnership with his brother, Major D. J. Devane. In the year L1868, when political strife was at its highest, he was chosen by his party as its standard bearer in the contest for, the honorable position of Judge of the Superior Court of the Third J udicial District, haviug as his opponent the Hon. D. L. Russell, who was the- Republican nomine for the sam e position. This is but an imperfect outline of of the services which Col. Devane has rendered to the state of North Carolina and to the people of the south. His intrepid courage both as a soldier and a citizen, hi3 charming social qualities, his generous heart, were attributes that endeared him to all with whom he came in contact; and we, the " Mayor .and Board of Aldermen of the City of Wil mington, appreciating his services to the corporation, feel that we are paying but a faint tribute to the memory in thus placing the above upon record.; we therefore . Resolve, That we deeply deplore the death of Col. William S..Devane, and we direct as a testimonial of our grief, that the City Clerk and "Treasurer be instructed to set apart a page of the records for t he inscription of these reso lutions. Resolved, That we tender to the family of the deceased pur heartfelt sympathy in their sad bereavement. Resolved, That a copy of these pro ceedings be transmitted to the family of the deceased, and also to the city papers for publication. L. H. BOWDEN; j Chairman Committee. Of the many very excellent traits in Col. Deyane's character, we desire to mention one: He was always the first to congratulate his competitor. In 1868 when he ran against Dan. L. Russell for Judge of the Third judicial District of N. C, politics run very high; so much so that it was dangerous for Re publicans to canvass some parts of this District. Throughout tho whole can vass Col. Devane treated his competitor as a friend, and after the election he was one of the first to congratulate Judge Russell on his election, and du ring the balance of Col. Devane's life he was a very strong friend to Judge Russell. He was a true gentleman in every sense of the word. j Anthony Howe, Esq., one ' of our ablest and most respected colored citizens, was being tried ( for some offence in the Criminal Court in this city on Wednesday last, and he had summoned six j'or eight of ! the oldest white citizens of the city to prove his general character, which they estab lished to the satisfaction of the court and jury. When one of the witnesses was put on the stand, he was asked if he knew the character of Anthony Howe? He said, he did. He was re quested by counsel to state what it was. "Well," he said, "while Anthony was a slave he knew nothing in him to con dem, but since he had been free, he knew nothing in him to , commend." But thi3 man, who was so anxious to condenm Mr. Howe for submitting to the Emmancipation Proclamation of Mr. Lincoln, was made to admit oy Mr. Darby, the defendant's counsel, that the character of Justice Howe, for honesty, truthfullness, and sobriety wa3 , exceedingly good. That old bundle of hate needed a raking, just such as he got from Mr. Darby. NE W AD VT3EMENTS.
