of New York, in sup­
port of the report ofthe "Central Directory,"
takes the public by surprise, and in view of
his unfaltering adherence to the President's
policy, is regarded as somewhat significant.
The vote was 128 to 37, a two-thirds vote.
The indication thus furnished by the action
of the House leads to the conviction that the
measure will be adopted by the Senate, and
then all that will be required is that the Leg
islatures of three-fourths of the States adopt
it, aud the formal work of reconstruction will
have been perfected.
THE
terrible mob which the rebels of Mem
phis represented through the telegraph as a
negro insurrection, and which Copperhead
fklitors, in sympathy with rebels, still insist
was a nagro mob, resulted in the death of
some seventy negroes and the burning of a 1
the negro buildings in Memphis. And yet
with all this loss of life on the part of the
eetored population. Copperhead journals
would have us believe that it was a negro plot
of armed soldiers which the whites simply
•ought to defend themselves against, and that
only two whites lost their lives, one of whom
fell by the hands of an Irishman, under the
following circumstances as detailed by the
Memphis Commercial:
DEXKIP.—Yesterday
af­
ternoon, Ben. Dennis, a brother in-law of
Dr. Dickinson, and an old resident of this
city, was shot and killed in what is known as
Frank's Saloon, on Bank Alley, between
Madison and Monroe streets. The circum

'There's a boy (pointing to a negro named
Reuben, a barber on .fefferson street), that
has shaved me many a time. I have as much
confidence in him as I have in any one. aud
were I compelled to ask a favor to-morrow,
he is the first I should go to.' During the
delivery of these remarks, Michael Keenan
was in the back room, partaking of his din
ner, and when he heard Mr. Dennis make use
of them, us came forward and saiil: 'What

particular subjects, namely: Surgery, Prac

Among these was one by Prof. Hughes on
surgery another on Iyphtbeum, by a gentle
man from Philadelphia, and another by a
gentleman from this city on army diseases, as
*ritness«d during the war. The subject of
cholera was considered in committee of the
whole, and a Dr. Marsden, from Montreal,
made a very extended address on the proper
sanitary regulations for the prevention of its
introduction into this vicinity. This elicited
considerable debate from gentlemen from
Hew York. Philadelphia, Boston, and other
cities, all of whom seemed to have particular
plans of their ow i which they were extremely
anxious to impose on the attention of the As

desultory debate was very materially added to

revival which commenced In Springfield, 111.,
some weeks ago, still continues with undi
minished prwer. Union meetings for prayer,
as well as for preaching are held in the open
air, because there is no room to be had of
sufficient dimensions to accommodate the
multitudes that attend the meetings. Hnn
dreds, if not thousands, have been added to
the several churches of the city since the
commencement of the meetings, and the
good work is still going forward.
The State Register, which was at first dis
posed to sneer at the movement, now says:
"There can no longer be a doubt in the
mind of any hut that the revival at present
in progress among us has been instrumental
not only in bringing individuals to a sense of
their duty and a change of conduct, but, at
the same time, has exercised a wonderful in
fluence upon the whole community. While
many have been converted among us, we be
lieve all our cjU£en8 hare beep more or less
benefitted, and should the interest in the re
form be kept up, it is to be hoped that even
more may yet be apcomplished. What the
officers of the law and the vigilance of the
authorities have failed to effect, has been
quietly brought about by the influence of
these religious meetings. We refer to the
moral reform in the community which has
taken place within the past four weets—
evidences of which are constantly observ
able.
Even the fears for the safety of life [and
property, which pervaded society so receiitly.
have been expelled, as it were, by an un
known power, and a sense of security seems
now to be felt by our citizens, such as has not
been known for several years. If we are
wrong in attributing this change wholly to
the religious influence brought to bear upon
society, we must
it in this manner
at least partially account for
about such a 'cforin—a reform that has only
been noticeable since the inauguration °f the cotton grow
those meetings. The number of converts'
being weekly received into the several

evidence of the fruits ofthe revival. est«r

with the Second rresbyterian Church, and
other denominations are having their ntmi

The Charleston Courier of May 5th con
tains a very interesting collection of intelli
gence concerning the growing crops in differ
ent southern States. In these districts we
find accounts in most respects highly gratify
ing of the conduct of the freedmen, and a
hopeful statement of labor. The Sumter
(S. C.) Watchman reports onr planters are
applying themselves with a diligence which
must secure at least a measurable degree of
success. The freedmen, too. as a general
thing, are working with a zeal and earnest
ness exceeding the expectations of our peo
ple at the beginning of the year. A Georgia
correspondent of the Macon Journal and Mes
senger, from Barber county, on the 2'itb,
writes Where there is no bureau the freed
men are working well, and some are very well
satisfied May and June will try them.
The Atalanta Commercial Bulletin has the
following from a correspondent in the
Sothwestem part of Georgia Owing to the
great scarcity of labor the cotton crop for
this year will barely reach half the amount
produced in 1800, which I think was
estimated at four million of bales. I am
clearly ofthe opiuiou that 1.500,000 bales
is a full estimate for the coming'crop. This
State at the pres-ent time possesses more
negroes than her sisters, yet she will hardly
,, -r make half a crop with few exceptions. There
