To show one of Saunders' progress ive ideas, he put the question: "Should the publio schools be discontinued?" This is a splendid sample of old fogyism. The next question should have been, "Shall the pro visional manager be discontinued?"

It is now about fifteen months since the local arrived in Wilmington, which was then a rebel stronghold, and actually the onlv seaport in the Confederacy where there was any business doing, and he remembers, as if yester day, the impressions he had on his advent. It seemed as if every man or boy he met was afraid of him, and dreaded the idea of his con- scripting them, or putting them into government service in some way. Nobody seemed at their ease, and war talk, was the only talk with all parties, and in their talk it was an established sine qua non that Wilmington never could be taken, and Fort Fisher was impregnable. The local coincided, in a manner, with these opinions until Gen. Bragg assumed command of this de- partment, then he was satisfied that we were "gone up." At this time business was tolerably brisk, owing to the number of blockaders that came into port, bringing almost every desirable arti cle, and taking away heavy cargoes of cotton, besides stow-aways."

The labor question is assuming a perplex ing phase here. This week thirty negroes at work on the R chmond and Petersburg rail road, getting $15 per month and found, have struck for higher wages.

John llrisrlit. From the New York YoV President Johnson, it is said has sent an invitation to John Bright to visit this country the guest of the nation, and has sent one of our finest frigates, the Colorado, to England, to bring him to our shores. Mr. Bright will receive from the American people a welcome such as no foreigner has i e ceived since Lafayette. Like that noble "Frenchman, John Bright has been the true as well as wise friend of American liberty like Layfayette, Bright was our friend when all the world, was against ub. ne mauiimeu iu iustice of our cause when all thought it would fail; and when even he, pernaps, aespairea oi our success, he still had the courage to assert before our enemies that we ought to suc ceed. The greatest orator of England, one of her wisest statesmen, dear to her "plain people as the courageous and ablest asserter and de fender of their rights Mr. Bright crosses the ocean to receive the homage of another na tion's gratitude, affection, and esteem. The "plain people" of the two leading nations of I the world unite to do him honor, and when be is welcomed to the shores of America it will be not as an Englishman, but as a friend of the oppressed, a defender of the weak, the as much work. I think these evidences will show the north that we are trying to work the negro and he wont work. The advertise ment which brought these negroes to the com pany was for "colored laborers" no whites being advertised for. In Nottoway, on the farms in one neighborhood, the negroes "pass ed the word" among themselves that they would not go to work in the field hereafter until nine o'clock, A. M. Of course this was not submitted to, and the "mutineers" were driven off. On one farm the fodder is all standing ungathered. We can all understand here that some allowance must be made for a race of people who are just emerging from the darkness of slavery into the light of free dom, but very few of us are willing to foot the bill for those little freaks the enfranchised in dulge in before they become steady-goirrg freemen. Every effort is now being made to secure white labor. I wrote you some days ago about the arrival of one hundred Swedes. Since that arrival the company for their importation has extended its sphere, and thousands are now to be imported instead of hundreds. A company is now being formed to import Eng lishmen, and Mr. John Perry, of Ashland, an Englishman, is to undertake the management of the scheme. All these laborers get $15 a month and are found, just what the neg.'oes got who. have struck for higher wages THE XEWSPAPEBS.

They find her eruiltv of man slaughter, but in view f the fact that the shot that killed her servant was fired fired in defence of her aged mother, they assess the punishment at $1,000 fine. The citizens generally are relieved at this verdict, for through her trying sorrow, Misa Neely has bad the warmest sympathy of all tbe citizens and soldiers. She comes through the fire unscorched. Every one who has ever made their mother's knee the altar of their prayer to God, fully sympathize with the "act, and have followed the progress of the trial with anxious minds and 'hearts.
