Waceks 1n New Yorx —A Letter from New York says: The firet of May promises to be usbered in with a general demard for higher Wages on the part of the laboring classes. The Laborers’ Union Benevolent Societies have re- solved in tavor of striking for 33 per day on and afterthat date. The bosses are to be im- mediately notified of the fact. In cases where serious objections are offered on the part of the employers, it would appear, $3 is to be insis- ted upon. Efforts are also making to make the affair uniform by bringing into it other labor organizations. Though business of ali kinds continues dull, and but few new build- ings are going up, thus rendering employment for brick-layers. masons, ca‘ and other mechanics ex: ie! steadily advancing rents, with the high prices of all the necessaries of life, seem to almost torce these efforts to obtain higher wages in order to live: yet, as things look at chances for obtaining the advance, it must be acknowledged, are far trom encouraging ia neti aeoaiaemineretniers Senator WiLson at Per wRG.—Sena- tor Wilson, of Massachusetts, addressed a numerous assemblage in front of Jarrett’s Hotel at Petersburg, Va, last night. The colored element largely predominated and were enthusiastic im their manifestatious of approval and applause. He spoke upwards ofone hour, prociaiming himself a Radical and entirely committed to Radical principies. He pronounced slavery to have been the cause of the late war, and said neither the North por South were guitless in the conflict. He said the negro now was as much a citizen of the United States as the President. and entitled to all the privileges of the white man, and ought to exercise the right of franchise as a free man, He disclaimed all intentions, on the part of Congress and the North, to degrade and hu- miliate the South.
