' :. .Soldiers, we know you are all opposej to negro suffrage. With yoti it was a waste of words and an insult to arguo this question farther. You are all opposed to negro equality, Th all its shape's, and heartily indorse' the words of your inVincit le commapder.'old Te-cumseh Sherman, that " the negroes, are not fitted for the exercise of the elective franchise, I want them to get a fair price for their labor, but I do not think they are fit to take a part in the legislation of the country ."- How, soldiers and loyal citizen., v?an thin new negro agitation be stopped ? How can we prevent -the distracting strife to which it may give rjse, and which-tnay be prolonged tr years to come ? - The answer is brief and sufficient. lefeat Governor Stone- and hi ticket, in October next, and negro suffrage agitation in Iowa will be numbered -with the things that were. How pan this desiraMe result be most effectually accomplished f By organizing immlUiately for tbe fight ; by meeting in convention at Pes Moines, on the 231 inst. and presenting a white man's ticket for the support ofthe soldiers and other loyal citizens opposed to negro suffrage and Governor Stone. : Let every county in the State be represented there by lull delegations. When County Conventions can not be called conveniently for lack- of notice or time, let 'our,' friends induce true and reliable men to represent them at the Convention of the 23d. Iet us have, then and there, a grar.d outpoHng of soldiers and loyal citizens, and nominate a ticket, the success of which, at the October election, will consign Governor Stone and negro suffrage to that obscurity they so richly deserve.

York Herald, furnishes the following account of the result of 4grd eliffrage n tljat part of Cenlral American : ,. -"C, ''. Tlore'wrTtfen in regatoffairs"1nlrs: State ta because I have taken a prejudicial new of matters and things, and have .not -taken pains to tutorm myself properly as to their true condition. 1 will now give you au outline of a conversation J had a tew evenings since with a native, or PanarHa--a entletiiah of eil'dca-tion and refinement t)kie who knows and thoroughly understands . his country, and who would upon no account say. any thing against it. 1 wanted soni; information on the subject, and frankly told him so, and what ue I intended to make of it. The first question I put, was: "What is the population of the city of Panama and suburbs arraba)?' Answer "About twelve thonsand. incln ling foreigners-Secdhd " W hat proportion of t h e t wel ve t h ou-eand are, pure white?" AnBwr "Lose than two thousand." Third Of the children born atliong this population what proportion are. legitimate?" Answer "About three-tenths, and these nearly al together among the whites, for there are but few marriages among the blacks." He went on to say that on one occasion he took a census of au adjoining department of this State, and among eleven hundred persons he lound seven married con pie only.-What I have here given you is a very fair pic tUre of the state of society hereabdtit. and you will find it about on a par no wofse tlian other parts of the world wherein the negro has, by mistaken sympathy, been brought above his proper level, from knowledge of what the Southern States ;weie prior to the' rebellion, I feel perfectly safe in asserting that notwithstanding Mrs. Stowe, Fanny Kemble Butler and others there were more legitimate children born among the slaves than there are among what is termed "fredtrteH.'' Morality among them here is a thing almost unknown, and some of the cases of incest you hear of are of the most revolting and d if gut. ting charac ter. I will say one thing, however, in favor of the class who are natives of this' soil that in every thing they are as far advanced above the Jamaica negro as it is possible to be-. " The latter has very likely acquired soirle littleedu-cation; this at once makes him saucy, arrogant, desirous of aping all the manners and customs ofthe white men. The Jamaica mulatto is far worse, and can excel the. world fur impudence, and in nine cases otit ofj ten is ilt-tVfly worthless. They are shunned by the natives, and the lowest, term one can ue here toward a black or mulaito Is to say that he is a "Jamaica Nigger." Thia cuts like a two-edged eword, and is more telling in its effect than if yoa were to use the vilest words known in ;be English; language. I had tutended to drbp the black subject, hu thought that a little information from the best source about ''Mostjuera's progress in civilization" would bb't be amies, and might throw some light upon what may be expected in the United States should the same course be pursued with the "freedmen" there as has been in this Coil h If y, and among the West Jndia islands namely, ontversal eaffrage.- : . : - TheSsars important facts and perlioeet tb' the real issne which the people of this country are called opoo to, decide.

An attendant approached with a lighted torch. As tbe water springs upward from the w.etl the torch is thrust into the main- column, and suddenly a spectacle is presented "the lmpreBBjoa 'of which ' will not soon fade from memory. "In an instant the whole mass was ignited, and a grand column of fire shot upward with the rapidity of lightning. At one instant blazing with intense brilliancy to the height of eiirhty feet, at another, detaching a sheet of flames which leaped upward as if to pierce the'sky: At another tiiiie the livid fire as though in anger, would dart hither and thither through the watery column now enveloping the whole in a sheet of flame, abd nbt springing up through the center Or the cone-like iuafls, until it leaped forth ,av crown- ine flame at the top.

In Williamsburg, Clermont County, O., on the 4th inst., the negroes had a celebration; which was attended by two or three hundred white Republicans, .as well as those of the black order.1; The reporter for. tbe Clermont $n says : "The sjieakefs (negroes) were severe in the extreme in their denunciations of the Democratic party, but profuse in their laudation of the Aba.

We have heard it told .that before the war there : were, .more, than twentv-five thousand negroes in Ohio, and that cumber has been more than doubled during the past four years. 1 The lines are open and the dar kies are allowed to come through in clouds. Now. the Oberlinitea, Benjamin "Wade and General Schenck ' and alt that kiud of people. and there are a good many of them, want to pit the rngger oh an equality with us, and give the votes to balance ours. Now, this is a meaning question, for, before two years, we will hate a hundred and fifty thousand negroes in Ohio. ' What Ve want to know is. whether you are in tavorol glrtng themlhe right to vote in Ohio now, or at any future time. You are right.
