Canton, Dee. 14, 1683.
Ouk Negro Population. The Rich
mond Whig Bays it is not unusual to hear
a negro congratulate himself that be is
not a white man. While the latter ii
subject to conscription, and may have j
hardships to undergo in the army never
experienced by a plantation slave, Sam
bo remains at home and enjoys himself,
undisturbed by apprehensions of con
scription or "impecumesity." How dif
ferent the treatment of the negroes who
fall into the power of the base Yankees.
The poor wretches no longer boast of
their advantage over the white man.
They are summarily forced to take up
arms, and treated as creatures only fit for
"food for gunpowder."

Victoria and Leopold A rumor has originated
In Belgium that the Queen of England is disposed
tc marry a second time, and tbe London press is
very indignant. At the same time, while they pro
nounce it a "foul and dangerous calumny, '' they also
state that (ears about Kiug Leopold's visit to Eng
land the present month. Tbe advice of this " crafty
diplomatist," as they style him, is said never to
have been given to or taken by the Queen Without
injury to her welfare and honor."
Censure is most effectual when mixed with praise.
So, when a fault is discovered, it U well to look np
t rirtoe t her it cjwpsnv.

Mr. Foote said that ho was not surpris
ed that tbe gentleman from Georgia (Mr.
Gartudl) should rush for wind with such
extraordinary ze-i MB the defence of the
President. It was well known that this
gentleman held the .President in great ad
miration. In a speech before the Georgia
Legislature, the gentleman told us that
our noble President was not only a great
man a patriot a Btattsman but he wns
a Christian. More even he was a sec
ond Washington. On that nocturnal ec
casion, he recollections of which he
hoped would never leave the gen'leman,
he had desciibed the President as our
a-do rn-ble President after the fashion
of the Romans, whose senators spoke ol
their rulers as our great and deified hm
peror, etc.
Mr. Foote continued to urge his reso
lution on the House. He was in favor of
raising the soldiers' pay to twenty-two dol
lars a month, and that in gold and silver
or its equivalent, and of increasing their
rations.
jT A resolution was introduced in the
Senate on Thursday, which may prove
the source of a great reform in the Con
federate Administration. A law is pro
posed to limit the term of office for the
Cabinet ministers to two years. At the
expiration of that term they may be re
nominated, and the Senate can confirm
their nomination for another, and another
term, if it think proper, or can reject
their nomination, if their administration
has been worthless and unsatisfactory to
the country.
