The secret of this power is not far to seek. Into these airs the negro race have poured all that suffering which they bore with such heroic meekness, and the sunny humours that cheered them in their slavery, and breathed hope to them in the midst of their de despair. - spair. despair. When sung by those who natu naturally - rally naturally respond to their influence, and who can touch them off with those simple lights and'shadows that deepen their ef effect, - fect, effect, no wonder that these airs find a ready echo in the hearts of those who lisen to than. This is one ot tho>e touches of nature that makes the whole wor: kin. It is this that forms the< tr secret of the power ot the Jubilee Singers. Thal power is of couise in increased - creased increased by tne splendid quality of the voices and the beautiful balance main maintained - tained maintained in all tbearts.

Curling the Conscience of Freemen. --Adair" the Augusta correspondent of the Southern Cross makes use of the fol following - lowing following minly utterance in his letter of the 14th instant: "Some of our city patriots have dis displayed - played displayed their patriotism by discharging their colored workmen because they"' cast their ballots for the cnadidaUs whvm their conscience told them to support. They seem to justify them themselves - selves themselves for doing such a mean act, V saying these employees is voting fo^ Hayes and Wheeler, voted in opposi opposition - tion opposition to tneir interests, and consequently bad not performed their duty faithfully to them ! I am really ashamed to chronicle such an outrage on civil liberty, and more especially of its having occurred in a Southern city whose political record for fair dealing has been without spot or blemish. Old Richmond could afford to allow every colored voter within its limits their rights to choose whom they pleased to cast their ballots for, and yet come out the victor, so that such arbi. trary measures cannot have a political justification, and I trust such an act of injustice will nevar be repeated again, at least, in the Southern country.

No man ever prospered in the world without the co-operaiion of his wife. - If she unites in the mutual endeavors or rewards bis labor with an endearing smile, with what confidence will he re. sort io his merchandise or his farm, fly over lands, sail over seas, meet difficul difficulty, - ty, difficulty, and encounter danger, if he knows that ha is not spending his strength m vain, but that bis labor will be reward rewarded - ed rewarded by the sweets of women!
