Benjamin WaUtlna Leigh and the I .Southern Aristocracy. This gentleman, wag appointed by the General Assembly of Virgin a to prepare and collate the reviBeireode of- eighteen hun dred And nineteen. Too years lattte tie was flecufl B'?emJ)?T,-of.the Virgini? C^n?Um-, tioniil Oooventit^h In that body & quei tion arose as to the extension of the right of suffrage. Mr. Leigh opposed the mea tare, and in theooor*^ of his speech made the following observations: ''They tell us that oar peatantry will .rjspjn the scale of intelligence. It may Be so, but others will 011 their places, equally unintelligent, equally incompetenf. Thp men who delve the soil and dig the mines and hew the timbers, never yet were capable of n dis creet exercise of political functions .and they pever will be. In the nature of things, those, who think must govern those who toil.". At a Btill later, period he delivered himself as follows: "It Is remarkable. I mention It foj the furiosity of the fact," says Mr. Leigh -'that if any evil," physical of morale arise in any,of the States south of as, it never takes a northerly dlreotion or taints the Soatbern breeze; whereas if airy plague originates in the North, it is sure to spread to the Southaud to invade us saon er or later; the influenza, the small pox, the varioloid, the hessiap fly, the circuit court system, tjiiivcBS^L Sorruai, all;come from theNortb; and they always cross above the falls of the great rivers; below, It seems, the broad expanse of waters, interposing, ef fectually arrests their progress." So much for Mr. Leigh. Then the Editor of the Richmond Enquirer, of the 2d inst., adds: "Against such invasions as these we are now fighting;" that is, against the small pox and'omvassAi. surrmea, which to,the distempered imagination of those.arrogant aristocrats, n o doubt, exhibit equal hor rors Let it not be supposed that Benja min Watkins. Leigh wae at all more aris tocratic or arrogant, than th.fi generality of. the P F. V's around him. On the contra ry, he was a very favorable specimen of; what the Southern papers call a "high toned gentleman*". He aot?d his pp;tj creditably in that aristocratio state of so-, elity, iD whioh "all above is tinsel refine-' ment and all below is barbarism and bru tality." He did not go as far as R. M. T. Hunter, who -declared that the "capitalist ought to own ttio laborer,"" nor even as those newspapers' who nsed regularly to declare that they "hated everything with' the word free attached to it, free soil, free speeoby-free churches, free schools and free niggers." But the mystery of myste ries is tbat,it-la ouft "democracy" wh(f champion, tfife-i cause of) these haughty and imperious m6d, who' boitlly pro claim- that as Boon as they "get rid of the Yankee connection they I ioteod- to shape. *11 their institutions J a to .a {high toned aristocracy. It'ia the Nomocracy .who . meet, in lodges of Knights of the Golden Circle and plot lor the disgrace.ot our nationaL.arms and the rnin of our national canse. It is the de mocracy who dash lifce a whirlwind through t e streets of our little county towns, and vextbe doll ear of night by shouting with aU. the strength,of . their luqgs, '.'Hurrah for Jeff. Davis. Hallelujah." Fellow-citizens, friends, brothers, you are utterly wrong in this matter. You have been.led.to the very verge of crime bj "Wicked, cunning, and" unscrupulous lead ers. If those bad men-can win a triumph for southern institutions, or if they can de taob the northwestern States from the XTaiori and attach them to the Southern Confederacy, they confidently expeet their reward-from their Southern masters. But no reward Is in store for yon. Yon are champfonitlng the cause of your natural enemies, of haughty and imperious men, who would* net set you with the dogs of their Books, - who would not permit the slightest soCl*t~ intercourse between you and tbelr circle. War is sometimes Inev itable, bat it is always a calamity, .and the reasons against it are always weighty. N6 doubt the.peace party Jn Revolutionary times- thought they had weighty reasons against the war of independence. So the peace party o(|5?14, thought, no doubt, that they bad weighty reasons against the last war with Great Britain.

The preliminary survey for this impor tant work was made Sunday, August 7, apd the workitself cotninenoed on the lltb of the same.month. . Tbe neck of land whieh forms the bend in the James River at this point and through whioh the canal is out, is 165 yards across. Tbe excavation is of sufficient depth below water mark to float the largest gunboats necessary in thesleg* operations to be car ried on higher op the river. Upward of fifty thousand cubic yards of earth?most of it dark, blue clay, which is very difficult to remove?have been already, excavated by manual process alone; while tbe steam dredge engaged in removing the deposits from tbe bed of tbe canal, and widening its mouth, does a work equal to about SO tuns per day. This work, It mast be remem bered, bBB been done nnder the frequent? and during the earlier stages of "it# pro gress?the almost inceasaut shelling of Rebel batteries. From 50 to SOO men have been employed on tbe work from time to time. Present force about 200, all colored. They appear perfectly happy digging away in the mud, and, saving their "ourl ?swities," as they call the bits of Iron py ites and olay slate whioh they pick up dating their work for "tbe fust white hos jifer or gemman" that comes along.' , The entire work will, it is expeoted, be complete before December.

The logs are already ap. When finished, tbey will have accommodation for 4,000 sick. Six thousand might be aoeommv dated without crowding. Tbe army is still basking in the glorious sunlight of early Antnmo. Tbe weather is aB fine as heart can wish. Last night there was a smart shower, about 6 o'clock, which was succeeded by one of the finest prisinatio displays, in the shape ef a rain bow, I ever, beheld. The whole camp turned out to greet it. OBHIRAL ORDIRS?KO. 282. War Dkparthsht, Washington, Nov. 14. Ordered by the President:? 1. That tbe resignation of George B.

Tha HUhmond Baquiror'i Argument In Favor of Arming tbe Slavaa. Wrom the Enqolror, Nov. 11. The employment ot slaves as soldiers was never suggested as a proposition pre* ferable to any other, but solely as a reme dy to which dire necessity might eventaal ly drive the Confederate government.? Considerations of a doable character are involved in the measnre. There is tbe moral influence which the conscription of a quarter of a million of slaves to fight tor. their freedom'and our freeiiAnj from Yan kee masters would have upon onr enemies, and the world at large. And there is the physical influence of such an angmentation of onr army npon that army, onr people, onr enemy and our cauee. Nor ebon Id these two considerations be separated In tbe discnssion.of this proposition. . ! The war has been slanderously called the slaveholders war; undertaken for slavery, and maintained and supported solely for the perpetuation of negro slaf ery. Oar.enemies have charged, and much of the world believes the charge, that we have sacrificed the best and noblest of our land, heartlessly and crnelly; to mainUin the negro property of some three bnndred thousand slaveholders. Tbe unparalleled sufferings of this Inhuman war has been slanderously misrepresented as detailed updri the poor and rich or these Stdtfel by the selfish slaveholder for tbe security of bis "human chattels." The people of thtse States know the infamous falsity of these oharges.bat that public sentiment of the world which influences tbe aotioas 'Knd opinions of men and nations will not un derstand tbe base' mendacity of these charges, if tbe people of this country shall decide this question by 1U ultimate effeoV' npon negro slavery. Whether or not slaves shall be conscripted, mnst be decided npon some bigger and nobler principle than tbe evils of free oegroism; tbe people of these States could have escaped those dangers by submitting' to Mr.-1 Lincoln. The President, in that Jacques-Gilmore Interview, indignantly repudiated tbe charge tbat this war was for slavery, and the sentiment of tbe country approved and applauded his declaration. If it sha)l api | pear that tbe necessities of the army de mand more men than tbe wbite population of the country can supply, and the people of this country exhibit an uswiltlngness to make soldiers of tbelr slaves, dees it not give color to the charge tbat the war is for slavery, and that we prefer onr ne? groee to our liberties? If the necessity exists, then, we say, not forty thousand only, but any number, that the nect sity may require; for negro slavery waa tbe mere occasion, and is not tbe object or end of this war. We wonld show to the world the lesson tbat, for national inde pendence,freedom tram Yankee domination, in addition to sacrifices already made, the people of these States are ready and willing, when, tbe necessity arises, to sacrifice any number or aUdf tbe slaves to the cause of national, freedom. - A?d we Would teach the enemy tbat "efhadktfon" has been merely brought to vns attention the fight ing resources of font millions of elavee, and that our spring campaign (ball open with ta army of a quarter of a million of negroes, besides oar noble veterans, and that the scene of operations (bail be tbe country of the enemy. We would respond to General Grant's "cradle and grave" assertion with the battle shout of an army of half a million. < i We wonld snoonrsge our soldiers by adding to tbeir number every man that a negro could relieve, whether as teamsters, cooks, hospital attendants, garrisons of subordinate fotls, as well im,"pioneer and engineerlaljorkrs.*' '? Bnt the discussion has been clouded by the proposition of freedom after the war; and some say that if freedom tgjrsoognised. as a boon to be given as the reward for' fidelity, a blow is stroc^ at, slavery. We believe that but outt State in ihe {Confed eracy forbids manumission. In Virginia i'ady;peM|oii''6iay emancipate any of bis slaves by last will in-writing, or by deed recorded in tbe courts of bis county or corporation." Is this statutory boon a de nial that slavery is the best cpnditipn /or the nsgro?- Unquestionably not) and yet fidelity to the master Is here permitted to be rewarded with emancipation. Now, cannot Sdelity to the national canse, at" tested by endurance of hardship, by gal lantry ' in notion . , and exposure to death, 'v bo rewarded with freedom without any compromise to the relation in which those are still held who have given no assurance of such fidelity ? We can not see that reward for faithful servioes in the least conflicts with the reasons and arguments whiob support and sustain ne gro slavery. We hold the belief that the negro is best off, ia in "the right place," when he has a good master; but the negro may think otherwise,and talus populi which inducer Ills employment aa a soldier demands sacrifices that shall secure bis fidelity. This 6aorifice is made in offering t)im his freedom for faithfulness. Nothing is yieldJd/tQ the Ignorant prfjfldicoe.of tbe world, a simple bargain is' struck. The negro wants his freedom; whether a boon pr a curse he wants it, and for it may be willing faithfully to serve In the army of hiB country. That country stands in need of those services; one is offered for tbe other. It hag no tou^b of philanthropby about it?no sympathy or connection with abolitionism. . But who should give this freedom? The master, the State or the Confederate gov ernment? The master if be will; bnt if not, then the State or the Confederate Stales govern ment. We are wholly opposed to the com pensation for the negro. What! conscript a son,1 a husband, a father, and pay for tbe slave? The negro pays for himself when he fights for his former master, just as the eon reaps the re ward, of hig services in the ffeedom of his country.. Bnt these are minor points. The great question is, does the necessity exist? This Congress should first ascertain, and then the ques ts properly debatable. SKETCHES IN GEORGIA A OOHVXBSATION WITH A SIBIL IZ QOVIU OB?HABITS OF TUB "POOB WBITS8." A correspondent of the Boston Journal writes aa follows from Marietta, Georgia: "Daring the Ove days' armistice between the national army and lha Insurgent for ces, several of our officers had talks with, prominent rebel leaders on the politics of the day. What I say now is from tbe best authority, as1 the names enclosed for yoar private inspection will show. "Br Governor Harris (rebel,) of Tennee eee, said to General ?? Ton can never subjugate us. It is Impossible, air." "General : "That may be true; but it Is possible that we may be able to ex terminate you, and if you will not submit we will certainly do so." "Ex-Governor Harris: 'Well, you may be able to jlo tbptjit Is tbe only way in whiob yon ever can subdue, us. Sir, the peace men at tbe North talk peace! peace! but we will acoept no peace except on the basis of our independence. "That was the substanoe, and as nearly as I can recall them, the very words in which our General reported tbem. ft un questionably expresses the opihlAnrfof the leaders of the .rebellion.. Their power must be nttarly overthrown, and no terms made with tbem If we recognise tbem as tbe rightful leaders of the Sooth, when tbe subjeot of reconstruction oomes np for settlement, the lives of oor soldiers and the countieBS treauaure Wo have spent will have been all in vain. "We cannot too often keep this trnth in mind?{hat an tljei loyalists alone of tbe South sain vie hereafter trust; a troth which the NiagKM/^i^lpjpa^iats entirely ignored or overlooked. m ? Dtrruto, ohswiho and smokisb. . "I have more1 than once incidentally al luded. to the Mevftfence of dipping and smokiog asi practiced by the women down here., Iii traveling -by railroa4 every one haS chances ,!enoii^tf to ??&? Women smo king. They do it openly, sitting, ve^r of ten, with their chairs tipped back at tbe doors of their houses, The pipes that these danghtera^of ihe Sontb'dellgntto patron ise are frequently, I think generally, made oat of oorn cobs , whittled down; for stems they use oaae and goose-quills.' Tbe cus tom is oammetslyjC^nmf Ui it is universal amongihelower classes."' ' "I walked os foot (Mo Decatur, Ala bama, to Athena,' 'twelve oK fifteen miles, and during this trip first saw fur myself tbe apparatus and praetiee of dipping. As this is,an .Indoor pastime! the traveler has less chance to see it than its twin sister, smokiog. - It wis at McDonald's station, I went into .a house, a large log cabin, and asked ii they would get me dinner. There were two girls and?.few children in the bouse. One- -of \ht' girls eeemed about eighteen yesrs of age," tbe other atorat fif teen. But I found, that they wero* each three years younger than my. estimate. . "They.called the woman of the boose, the sister of tbe elder girl. She came In, said I might dine tbeie if I would wait, and lay down on on ? bed in either one of the tw?^?qn? .that served for kitoben and^lnipg apartment. I will not stop to deMribe.eiifettJSooux. 'It is enough tossy that it ao4 everything in It was cheerless add Hide and dirty; {hat It bad nooellar or cloeeta, -and only a thin floor; and that throngh both sides and floor tbe wind 'tnigbtjsater, and the rain might enter even though the .kipg of England could not enter. "Afur dlmrer?baam, corn bread, and buttermflk-r-wM eaten, the'girl wlfocook ed it, quite ? pretty young creators, before going out for somff water, went to her sis ter's bed and tried to slide a tin boil saw under pillow beneath her apron. I playfully protested, sod asked her if (be dipped snuff. Tbe sweet sisters seemed to Uke it as a matter of coarse, and were Dot all bart by tbe insinuation. They both defended the practice?said it saved the teetb; that all tbe women in their coantry either dipped, or smoked, or chewed, and sometimes all tbreel " 'Bat do tbe rich folks do so?' I asked. "Boobf said tbe younger girl, 'I guess they do?and get drank at home, tool' "Notwithstanding that broadside, I still protested against young girls Indulging in dipping. " 'Did you notice tbat girl that was in lit tle while since?' asked the recumbent mat ron. 'She can dip as well as any of them.' "Now tbe girl referred to was not thir teen years of age?a sickly, yellow-skin, ned child, in tbe last stages of consump tion, a disease of wblch her father lay dy ing. "Inquiries since that time have shown that the women spoke the troth?that tbe practices of dipping, chewing and smok ing are almost universal here among the women. "A gentleman who had been a music teacher in tbe 'best sooiety' said tbat dip ping is almost universal among the wealth ier classes, and that, altbongb tbe yoaog ladies practised it slyly when in comphny not tolerant or familiar with the custom, as soon aB tbey became tolerably well ac quainted with him tbey openly pat their boxAB on t(ie piano' and used it as tbey practised tbeir lessons! "A northern lady uow'living in Alabama said tbat many of ber female visitors kept themselves in a constant state of semi intoxication with snuff whenever tbey called on ber, and that if I would move the eofas and loaoges at houses where ladies visited I would see evidences enough of tbe practice on the floors and wall be hind them. "Tbe poor whites whom I have met in this state admit without the least hesita tion tbat all their women dip and smoke and chew. "Perhaps some of your readers do not koow bow dipping is done. A little rag is tied on tbe end of a stick about tbe size of a penholder. Tbe rag is moistened in the mouth of tbe fair, dipped in tbe saaff, and then tbe gnms are rubbed with it. "We have a great many things to learn yet before we 'clook-psddlers," and 'mud sills,' and 'greasy mechanics,' and oar wives and daughters can attain to the same stage of refinement and good breed ing that has been reached by the southern chivalry and tbeir most courteous dames I 'FLBASB DBOP DS A PAPS&.' "At many of the block-houses, stockades and other places where onr soldiers are stationed, in Kentnedy and Tennessee, tbe traveller by railroad will notice a board with the request, often rudely painted? ?Please drop us a paper.' Peopla at Lome do not know how tedious at times tbe life of a soldier is?especially when be is sta tioned to guard a bridge or garrison a fort at a distance from tbe cities. Even in towns so far from tbe North as this is, it is almost impossible to get a newspaper, and the retailers sell them so high tbat many soldiers cannot afford to buy them." 1864. fALL WOE, 1864.
