He enumerates many difficulties that opposed the organization of schools in that State, one of which was the dangue fever, which nearly all of the teachers took. The two principal causes which pre- vented teachers from coming there were the reputed unhealtbiness of the State and the hostile feelings of the people towards the blacks and all those who manifested an inter- estin them.

Correspondence of the Boston Advertiser J resenta‘ = cerning the President's of Wednesday to the negro delegation which called on him and others would probably, factious ends, endeayor to show that the Pres. ident was taking sides inst the colored ple, or was at least lees vorably disposed te. ward them than be had been. The President res; that no one could fairly and truthfully do that. He was now whathe had always been—the friend of the r and the lowly. He had never broken jaith with anybody, and if bis past conrse and his former language were not a sufficient «uar- antee that he meant well toward the colored people, and would endeavor to secure to them & fair chance, nothing he could oy do now would give any such guarantee. je thought, however, that it was best to Pianly, and he did not believe that the effort now making by some who call themeelyes the n * spe- cial friends, to force universal aiicege upon the States, was wise or jndicious. He thought it tended to embitter feelings, while our effort should be to cultivate calmness and confidence. He believed it would result in great injury to the prospects of the colored people. He did not know whether Mr. Douglass and his friends expected bim to talk to them; but he thought it best to take the opportunity to state his views. He would repeat that he was, if he knew his own heart, the colored man’s friend. He had great faith in the people, and would endeavor to carry out their will. The Representative then said that some per- sons might take or profess to take the Presi- dept’s speech as an indication that he was at variance with his party friends, and that «ome others might endeavor to found upon it the charge that he was pre; paring to gO over The President smiled, and answered that if the party which opposed his election indulged in any great expectation on that score they were likely to be disappointed He might differ with individuals of what was called the Union party as to the means to be used, but he considered himself in general accord with that pee as a whole, in the ends to be reached. ie was not a party’ man,and be meant to sink the partisan in the patriot. But, so far ashe understood the sentiments of the Union party, he was in general accord with it. The Representative finally, after further consideration. said something about the distri- bution of offices, about executive patronage. The President remarked that he was the ser- vant of the whole people, but he could not en- trely forget by what party he had been placed in his present position. and supported in the administration of the duties entrusted to him. He proposed to fight his battles within the lines of spc see A which elected him to office, He might differ with some of his friends, and he should feel wholly at liberty to so differ, and to state the ground of his contrary belief or opinion; but he considered himself identified with the great Union party, and had no desire or intention of being found outside. He intend. ed to exercise his own judgment, but was read: to yreld tt when he found it was not castaines by the judgment of the people. He had no bigs prc with those who opposed the war for e Union, and while he ho} the whole country would approve the endeavor to restore the Union, be could not forget thatsome men favored and some opposed the cause of the Union when it was in peril. Grn. Crawrorp’s Oster oF STarr.—Oar readers will remember the arrestin New Or- leans, by order of Gen. Sheridan, of Gen. R. Clay Crawford, as he was about leaving that city, in consequence of alleged connection with the recent disturbances on the Mexican fron- ter. Crawford had with him as chiet of staff one Arthur F. Reed, whe claimed to have once been colonel of the 40th United States colored infantry. Col. Lester, of that regiment, says in a letter to the Nashville Union “Permit me to correct an error which ap- pears in your paper of the 28th inst. Col. Ar- thur F. Reed is there mentioned as colonel of the 40th United States colored infantry. When assumed command of that regiment as col- onel, at Knoxville, on the 13th of April, 1965, 1 found a lieutenant colonel of that name in it. On the 24th of that month I placed him im ar- rest, and preterred ten charges and twenty-five specifications against him. He was tried by general court-martial at Gireenville, East Ten- nesse, found guilty of nine charges and their +pecifications, and two specifications of the tenth cbarge, and sentenced to be cashiered; senience approved by general court-marual, order No. 43, headquarters ‘ntof the Cumberland, Nashville, Tenn., dated June 14, 1565; copy of orders received at headquarters 4th United States colored infantry, June 26, 1865, since which date Lieut. Col. Reed ceased to belong to, the 40th, or to the United States service. The condnct of this man leads meto the belief that he was either pee insane, that he was the greatest fool thatever outraged. the United States service.” CnEsarzake Bay anp Poromac Trow- WATER Canal Comrany.—The United States Railroad Journal remarks: seein aan This is a most important project io berland coal trade, and also to the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, which Iast year carried 263,- 22 tons of coal, being 45,360 tons more than Was carried in any previous — Iné2, when the canal was opened. ith the Chesa- peeke Bay and Potomac Tidewater Canal opened to n&vigation, a boat passed through it will be almost to Bordentown on its way to New York, whilst a boat passed down the Po- tomac to its mouth, and thence up the eake, reaches Annapolis on its way to New York. And ‘as the route of the new canal crosses the Patuxent river about midway between Bladensburg and Annapolis, an abun- Cant supply of water can be thrown into the summit level. We believe this proposed canal will be built, because ef its manifest utility and intrinsic merit, and because, moreover. of the transportation facilities and advantages it ae open to the two important interests above named, and likewise to the cities of Washing- ton and Annapolis, and to the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal. It will shorten the water 1oute from New York P! and Bal- limore to Washington 7 two-fifths of the present distance via mouth of the Pos tomac. This is, indeed, a cut-off sufficient not only to commend the pian to italiste, but fo assure dividends to lers on the money cost of the work.
