The steamers of thie line ere all new, and their re
markable speed la due to their construction ; the most
approved modern model* of the fast Hudson river steam
ers having been adopted.
The superiority of these models gives them great ad
vantages over the boats of the old style of naval con
struction, and the newness o! their boilers and ma
chinery guaranties to the public their ported safety.
It Is hardly necessary to inform our patrons that, with
tbeir powerful machinery and fine water lines, they do
hot require the slightest approach to "racing'' lo enable
them to attain a much better rate of speed than any
boats in these waters.

MR. PENDLETON'S SPEECH AT SPOT
SYLVANIA, ON THE SECOND OF OCTO
BER.
Mr. P. adrcs-sed. in a speech ot r.esc two Loure.
a large and attentive aodieno*. IIo oalled the
attention of all per* tin piesent to the fact that hn
Wuuld i a! e no reference to the positions oropis
i n i, the me:ita or demerits of uny p. is o who
w.ib a candid. t» f.-r the district. He did so as the
only n.tnns by which bo could protect him-e'f
sgniuat the foul and infamous a-penions which
at eviry appearance on his part in the canvass,
(except at Goochland ) he had unwittingly evoked
troin the m serable agei ts w ho had been bourht
up from the debris of the vanquished and unhappy
CVnfederncy ti be the fitting inn ament* of ca«
luniny and t'aRehood. in behiif of the worst men
of the worst party that h .d ver appeared in
American politics. Of course, he would m ike uo
is. aes with aach charict is. He intended only to
brand their falsehoods lu appropriaie terms, in
relation to some few points on which it was
propef he thoald be distinctly under-, toid.
A paper in Richmond, described in the North as
tbo ‘ true organ” of the “ Union party'' r^pre
eeuted^that he. (M*\ P.) was certainly me enemy
of Andr. w Jubu-on—a: I a-t affiirned sub.-.tac
ti illy as much. Tins falsciio ■ wanot publish**!
by mislakc-, for the man who nitered it says he
was piesent at Mr. P.’s sp-e.'h in Richmond", and
is he speaks the truth 8s to be.ng (resent, lit
he -rd precise y the contrr iy.
Mr. Pendleton said on tbit rccasioic-mphaticai
ly, that he believed M r. Johnson intended f-ilrlj
and pa'iiotlcally to do ful justice to the South—
and that he, Mr. P expected to give his a. I minis
tration a cordial supp rt— nd he spoke also, ic
the same sp rit of r.ls be had «?en or heard of
Governor l-'eirpolnt. So much for'*e truth ot
that allegation. As for the o .tit, Mr. P.’s speech
in Ric. mo: d had been caiefully rep rted iu the
Whig of tire next day, and in ti a fo lowieg
words: "In re pect to the oath o- office lie said
that he desired to be very explicit, and to be
perfect'y understood by every man in the district.
He thought it was a wretched policy on the part
of the ouUidc Staie3—tbeii existence depending
on an early odm iw'on to the in id* -to rendt"
Washington a delegation whose chief qualifies
linn nr.na.ao.S in a MlHii-Ma »a »hm.t on.
terms a cinqnero.- may imp >se-t o submit is not
tbe light w. rd ; thnt is iaevitab e peihips. bat to
court and solicit u coo:inaatioc of it policy which
excludes fiom the Notional Legislature almost
every man who has really any qu il.fication for
such a place, at any ®no. ami especially ft such
a time as this.
“To fetter their own delegation n ith unnecessary
re frictions and e.xSorted pledget is obviously a
bad policy. Itisss ii sending negotiator* upon
a mirsinn nlm st hop: less, with instructions in
their po-kets to surrender at discretion. * Not so
do [ think.’’ said Me. Pendleton. "I believe the
objectionable onth may and wdl be modified if
the Southern Mat s will rend men able and
willing to nuke manifest the t r ipnety of such u
modification and the na'ionaiity of such a pulic:.
and not pick up de egatta upon ti e sin-'.le and ex
clusive ground that they c»n take any oath., and
for a teit iu Congress will t ike any oath.
I am not referring to any of that c owd of can
didates who nre offering their services in the
third district; for realty, I am not aware of any
lnvful impediment to the taking of the oath in
the carta of any on* ot hem ; an l if there was, I
ah >uld certiinly take no advantage of it.
• T can nfford to.apeak thus, for, 1 suppose. if there
is a resiiectahle m tn south u dm I’otomao who
can take the outs I can: nor hud I evor a doubt
on that subject, as to my own cise—especially
sioce niv neighbor, the Hou. John if. Botts, has
announced what will he reapeded generally as
the true and catholic exposition of the joint ieso
lution ns it stands; iu which he nu-uraina that
to succor a wounded or suffering soldier is not a
crime intended to bo punished n that act. for he
has even done so much himself. 1 agree with Mr.
Botts on that point, but dissent total/ from si! the
furegoiog part of his letter. 1 re-ardtlm Joint
Resolution, a: in uil respect-, a most palpable vio
lation of the letter and spirit of the Constitution.
“! assume that M '. Bolts' opinion will be ac
cepted. as it was formerly, and with all clue duco
rum, solicited by u 1st of most rcsis* table gen
tlemen—ami with it promptness ,-nd a precision
which shames the mummery <■(' the Delphi Oracle,
was it given, not for the benefit alone oi the wer
thv gotitle.i en who (ought information hut was
published that till might profit thereby.
• As far as it applies to my own case I accept it;
and when the time cornes, moaning to a-.t with
the best men of the South, {which section is alone
concerned tn the question,} if any such are alloiced
to be elected, I will lake it > r not t..ke it, as is
most expedient iu my judgment st the time.”
Mr. Pendleton said that he had known Mr.
Johnson for twenty years, and Mr. Johnson knew
him, and he had no hesitation in saying that a
thousand such witnesses con.d m ike no impres
sion on his mind against a y thing that he, Mr.
P., asserted—that ite President was an expert
enced and sagacious rr.an, and was sate to ftoid
such cattle at their proper valuation.
Another falsehood was ihat Mr Pendleton re
joiced in the death of some < ifleers who bad
plundered and roblie-i and insulted him and his
f rnily . and regarded it. as .-. spe de! interposition
of Providence that t^sy fell in the first light.
The man answers bis own calumny in the esme
breath iu which he uttered it wh.-n he says Mr.
Pendleton disclaims,an/ belief iu .pedalprovi
dences.
Mr. roua.ctaa attumsu irut it v. as an unoiiu
gated and impudent Ulth- d—for ihut he had
kind fee'ings for two ol the gene-uls referred to—
nnd though lie d ee nat or did u >t particularly ad
mire < r profe's to p.dmi-e or respect the two ot.iers
he LrVci diesiccd of fetling, tcuc-b b si ol profess
ing to feel jrrmiliratioQ at their ier-tonM rrrijfnr
tanc. His o wn heart is intupib.e of such feeling.
c.,en towatd3 the hireling h.lsinc-r he reierre.1
to for if that lellow had reached tho natural end
of hia career at tbe hand* of either of the late
parties to the civil war.be Mr. !*., would not he
..ntu.cd at even his agonies wittier he sullerrd
iiy the irmtrumentality of the civil or milita>y
lurtnsof criinia.tl justice.
In i-Iation to that eminent -t tosrnan. who is
the con fenced leader of the blaclur portion of the
Uia jk Uepublican party, the Hon. Thadenat-tevent,
Mr. Pendleton suppi sed it would be Lard to or
ganize a cou t that would convict him, Mr. P. of
disloyalty tor ..ny opinion be might form or ex
press in leup’Ct to that DOtorium gentleman. He
spoke of Stevens as a pub'h man without the
nighto.-t relcrence to hit privat- virtues orn«
eoaai respectability, lie ned known him by
repat .thin fro-n the rime r f the“buckshot war”—
nnd if the editor can liud turns in wh ch to ex
press no re abhorrence ol i nad !en' -r-veus as t
public m m than Mr. P hircs if i * heps leave, if
tbe words bo fit tor & gentlemans mouth, to
adopt them.
Mr. P. said that, in his opinion the most vindic
tive and embi'tefed men of the Radicals of New
tugrind were more deserving -Loro-pect. or iither
less deserving the ex, ( rations of the Sou’.l.err.
people, than those per.-ors wfio were tho m.st
clamorous and im.o.tinent advocates of the wsr
—the most proscriptive of a I, .owards scu-d and
true men during the w.-r—and then the first, as Is
notoriously tin- fact to take uevvice tinder snob
men and masters, is to serve whom Was as had
,s to sell their souls to the Devi'.
He did not mean to teaks an individual appli
cation— uuhippiiy t' ere was a i mall class of suoh
men in tbe houth, but if p-ressed very hard, he
c-ruld name a tew, the most precious scoundrels
that had ever lived in Vi einia in his day. and
to whom i tie discipline of the state Penitentiary
was tar more appropriate than the high digm
, jpg of a restored government to wbKb come of
them had the impudence to aspire. Such feliows,
Lid they tried in the times o' Jesus of Naziretb.
would hiveenvl d J"da i I.-carioltis b -.rgam.
Mr P wound aphis address witb be distinct
de laration that he had not a doubt of be eg able
to cive t ■ President Jonnwn a cordial support
that he u«d not -he sural es' doubt, if elected, he
would be admitted w ithout hesitation and a rea
more to the satisfaction of ail decent men in tfii
N rtb tLau would be foil at the cn masse ap
pearance ol ail that vile crew ana *e:e endui
voring to steal in'o Congress or smuggle in their
friends or tools, not upon any mettti of their
own but by so narrowing tb<* door of adxUe.ou
as to rarke the entry of a man of respectsb e pro
portions an i-nporsibllity. He w.s of opinion
thit a man who could vote and \et wcrsUl net
vote and give an independent and honest vote for
the man. in his own opinion. Ikibi qnalifi dtj

their minds of the idea that at the end of tipis

among tbe colored p oole. Ho Mid them thry

States Govein uea. never had any aaoh purpo*t —
He said the Government will protect you—wea«e
here to proiect you—but if you wan; firm you
must go to work and purchase theta. St Another
vague impression was ente.t ined, tb it th; next
year was to be a sort ol Jubilee—tie. some great
good was rotniLg to them about the firs’ f J\ui
aary—he did not know what. That consq :aa ly
they were unwilling to matte contract* lor next
year. All he knew about this was th.it about
Cbristmu they were going to h*.vo a rnighiy
hard winter. The Government was cot go r.g
to warm them—but they had it in .boi
cower to warm the ms-Ives. Let every col
ored man show ih.it he is capable of ii.s oao
support, and worthy of his fr-cdom. Ho urged
them.to make contracts at unce a id got homo',
it is said the niggers won’t keep contracts, lie
sad had greatexpeneoce, and he believ d the>
would do so. If he does not, we wj. main him.
He begged them to stick to their contraa.-, i.
There was nnotler rldicaloai notion abroad,—
Many colored people h id asked him if they n. • §
a contract for one year, will tnty hue to wjrh
four years for nothing cfterieards * In re My, le
-aid, ‘ I tel. you, you an free;" yon will hive
to work out your contract and no m re. 4, At.
I other remark • the colored people seemed to th...T.
their old masters their enemies. Ha di d no: be
lieve this. The necessity of the cas* required
that tbe two races should live hero t igether—.and
it (honid iu as frienda. The whites have g t no
money at present, sad thero'credpiouleshouid r«
ly expect moderate wages. They wouli get
mare hereafter. 6. Again when you ii re yoor
■ilf to an ump oyer, he is entitled to all your in
ner. Work out your time fairly; d > aery day n
good day’s work; and, iu emergencies, as extra
work. 6. As to joor families you ahoad g»t
them tagether. Captain Craodon urged the co
lined people to show tint tneycjuld make iQuest,
reliable members of society—to p ore thamsolv.-e
worthy of the gre it boon o( freedom which bad
been conferred ou them, tie told the a th it they
should stay in the neighbor oodi whe n they
louud themselves and not rush to the cit es and
towns. Alexandria was not the way to Heaven.
Gen. Voris followed Capt Crandoa. He made
a dear, ulolu, anl straight forward speech, which
struck us aa marking him «< a man -tf ability.—
lie said the colored people had the idea that the
Government, wa-* going to do some great thing
for thorn. The Government h id uo great thing
to do for them, (t had done more for them in tie
«ast six months than it will over do again, Ti 0
Government h d set them/rce. He thought tl#
thinking people of VirgiaU did n t want tort
enslave them. The Government is the p* pi*. la
i short time these gentlemen anuud ms will I e
just as mach apart of the gove nravic ns the
Gutted M ites Officers, lit a little while the mil'.
t.,ry will be gone. The while meu of VUgl-t/a
will make the laws o; Virginia. Tbs color*dpev
plo were Ignorant. They must get somebody to
r<-present them. They inu-t show ti tb»se m n
who would make laws for them, that Uiey would
make good citizens. Must s cure their c n9d?n e.
The goverumeut hid .set them lreo , bat it haa
11 t stopped work. All had to work. Formerly
they did not receive the eirniagd of their is
bor; this was now secured to them. Heretofore
they had had families from whom they »vru of
ten separated; this will nevor be again. He
urged the n to provide for tueir families—not oa’7
to feed them, and clothe them, b it to «totals
(hem. He told them chat soon the Govern j;a:
would remove the exercise of its authority over
them. They must therefore look to tSe ’white
gentiemen among them for counsel and prelec
tion. There were good men here who ca-e-1 for
them. They couldn’t leave Virginia—should they
go North, thjy would (1 id human nature thi
same them as here. The Yankee was just .n so!
llsb as the Virginian. He did not believe in at.
tempting to regulate wages. This matter would
adjust itself. At present they canid not uxpict a
great deil. He urged the n to make con'rnct-s
and if this would uot do, he commanded them (o
iet ubaut making their arrange neats for tiio
winter. As to the cities, they coal In’t sup
support themselves there, if they went there They
couldn’t learn uow treks. Men donh get $Jb a
month at Fortress Monr a—th.;s> who te.l you
this lie. Gove'nmeut don’t want labor r*, it has
discharged hslf a millioa in the Mat live mouth*.
Tnere are 0 000 colored people in Chert hteivilla,
and probably from 6«h to 801 who don t k-.otv
where they will get a meil next week. Geuerai
Voris urged the formation ot School*, inett.rated
neatness and cleanliness; and urged the < >1 .r d
p -nple to be honest. He sa d be huw a man at
•.hat moment who was a Uiief— he had not only
stolen a sheep—he had stolen a hog. If they
stole not only the iudividua! would sutfar. but
the race would suffer lor it lie rmcOgimended

to what had been said. He etw many friend*
who had heard him speak in the same ways-,
those who had addrested them. Hn did not free
them nor approv ■ of the manner ia wh>ch tusy
were treed - bat he acquiesced in the fact, and
meant to regard ti.ee bred peopio <.* frenim;:,.
and wished them all prosperity. He was satis cod
that the community h=re was most ii.idly de

them. Bat lie had merely risen to .hjw hi i/w
pathy with the ocefi-dDn, and would not prolong
hi* remarks.
Captain Crandon here arose again to make a
single rrmark. A new idea h.d been saggae'.si
hr General Howard In connection with the Free 1
man's Bateau; it xvua this, that a Frteimar.'t
Court should be established, to cousitt of tires
white 1 er-on*, one tho Agent of tb; B i-ean, nso
chosen by the back men, and a third by t s
ivhi'e in'cti. This court was to decide all qu >3
t.yn-. excepting high criarnal offenc e. bx wee_t

Governor Morton and Reconstruct ion. —
Governor Morton, of lad-ana. made a tpeec ; re

strong ground in favor of Prcsioent Johnson's
programme for the re*tor;t on of the Southern
States. We give the foilowing extnets

It is to pay the highest compliment to the Institu
