Cities and towns. who use no other light than
wax candles, and no other sweetening than
honey. As there is no cessation in the floral
production, so there is none in the labors of
the “little busy bee." who “improves each
shining hour" all the year round. and does
not, like the lazy bee at the North, go to
sleep in the fall and wake up in the spring.
To show with what facility these two articles
are obtained here, I will mention one in-
stance that came under my observation.
Soon after my arrival here. a waiter in my
hotel placed some fifteen to tWenty wine box-
es around the wall in the rear of the yard,
leaving an opening for the bees to enter.
Having occasion to IeaVe recently, he gath-
ered his Wax and honeya-thirty-two pounds
'of the former and bin gallons of the latter,
which he sold at 30 cents a pound and 50
cents a gallon. The bees came without even
an invitation, and received no care or atten-
tion whatever. Quite a business is done in
this way in the grounds of the old Convents
and among the ruins of the buildings—using
old barrels, boxes, pieces of the hollow palm
and coeoanut trees for their habitations.
Turning from the often-s of this to our own
counuy, it is exceedingly painful to ace the
angry and dist-.ourtcoua dissensiens in the
papers and among the leading politicians
upon the right of sufi‘rage. A large portion.
and I fear the majority. are in favor 0! with

the advantages are equal, 1 can see no found-
. ation whatever for the arguments rrenerally
used against allowing them the privilege.
To say that they are materially deficient in
capacity for moral, social and intellc clual im-
provement. is per vertinz the truth of history.
Why. at the hotel when I put up there are
~ several members of the National Convention,
and I meet others daily. nrgroes and mulat-
toes.- who speak three and four languaues,
are well read in history. and for general in-
telligence. and urace and dignity of manners
will cornpire favorably with any legislatiVe
bitty in the United States. I have before
expressed my abhorrence of amalgamation,
in your columns. and that I eou‘d neVer view
It otherwise than as a crime and a sin against
Gdd and our nature. But who are the ag-
greas ire? Educate the blacks and they would
feel it to beldegrading to their race to cohabit
wi'h any other, for they have been the vic-
tims. ‘The dictates of a common humanity,
too, ought to move us now to do all we can
consistently to alleviate their condition and
olivine them, for they did not intrude them-
seIVes upon us, but were kidnapped and
brought into the country against their will,
and for the basest of purposes. Retributive
justice has at length tried and punished us
for our complicity and participrtion in the
great crime of African bondage by the four
years of war, with its terrible loss of life and
treasure. and the consequences enteiled upon
us f-rr many years to Come; and how nruch
better it Would be for us now to make a Clean
breirht of It, acknowledge maniully our Last
errors, and show our penitence by striving to
elevate them in the scale of humanity, in-
stead of endeavoring to keep them as near as
possrb'e in their former degratlel condition

Would Hrtrli become useful membersof the

of the South have been vr-ry much indebted
for 'thI-ir security against insurrection. Bur

A large vessel, with a. very valuable cargo.

bound from Liverpool to Matamoras. has

been wrecked on this island. A small por
tion of the most valuable articles, chiefly for
lndien’ apparel, was saved and brought in
here and srld. Suzie that were intended to
adorn the swarthy belles of Mexico, may now
perhaps be scattered in your section, and
adorn some of the fairer-skinned belles of
Connecticut. The “Old Ocean” is very
whimsical and capricious in the service she
renders to the people in different parts of the
globe, in bearing the products from those of
one section to another-sometimes appropri-
ating all to herself, and then giving those of
one country that which had been prepared
especially for those of another; and thus dis‘
appointing one to the gratification of the
other. Among the goods saved and sold
here, was a large service of plate, cutlery.
&c., ordered for a wedding present, with
many other articles washed away with the
wreck. The articles saved were bought by
the Italian Consul and presented to his
daughter on her marriage last. Saturday

No, for we have had all these, and I think
more than Bridgeport, but it was her harbor,

EDITORIAL LETTER.
Wasnrseron, Feb. 8. 1866.

Another notable Week has just. cloned-
The Senate, yesterday, aforendurirg the
almost unendurabl‘e lure of Garrulons Davis,
adj rurned over Io‘londay. while the House
(oxcrring its Speaker. that he'mie—ht fly up to
Hartford and give his great LeC'ure there to-
night) hus devoted the day to docnssion ot
the immensely important Freedman's Bu~
real] bill. .

But the most significant events of the Week
in Congress are the passage. of Roscoe Cont.-
ling‘s Corr~titutional Amendment. s'imn ated
no doubt by the entirely novel and-somewhat
remarkable message from the President ad
dread to C-InureSs through the medium of
the Ass iciucd Press; the prssaue oi the
Personal Liberty and Freedman‘s Bureau
bills in the Senate—and the Speech oi vener-
able Thaddeus Stevens in n ply to Mr. Ray-
mond of New York. And here let me re-
mark that, in the opinion oi Competent judg-
es, the abstract oratory of the present Con
areas is equal to the days of Win, Webster,
hlay,C lIIIOlIn and Benton. Greatoccasions
draw out great men, and the speeches of
Shelli-burger. Bingruon, Kelly, Deming, and
now of Mr Stevens, will be read in after
years and declaimed in schools by American
youth. as among the finest specimens ol Con
gressional eloquence and oratory. The speech
of Mr. Stevens on Thursday was something
more than eloquent—at tithes he rose to a
grandeur of sentiment and purpose which
carried conviction to any listener of the
speaker‘s great love of junior, uf'lris sympram
thy for the oppressed, of his undying putri-
oiism; and when he came to scan the New
York gentleman‘s closing eulogium upon
dead rebels, and his classifying them with
our own patriotic dead, the “old man elo
q-:ent" gave utterance to an outburst of irr-
tiignant invectrve that was perh-Ctly fearful,
andwhich has led the jocose ever since to
indulge in the expression oi "the late Henry
J. Raymond." So, when referring to thin
tune. but a few short years in the future.
when the Representatives of a great and tru-
