Good Hit at Sumner. --The York Leader gets off a good thing in the shape of an address from Charles Sumner to the Negro Brotherhood, from which we make the following extracts: Brethren of Color,--A crisis has occurred to the affairs of the Negro Brotherhood. Combinations of perfidious white men have prostituted the government to the most ignoble purposes against you. Be not deceived by the wiles of General Grant, or any other agents of Mr. Johnson who may appear among you. They tell you that your freedom only means that you must work. It is thus that they wish to degrade you. This truth now comes to us with great force, since Andrew Johnson has engaged in the white washing business. He has adopted the great and peculiar profession of the brethren of color, and there is no longer any hope for us except to strike for our rights.

ollowing unscrupulous statement of Rev. Dr. Bacon, of New Haven, as published in the New Haven Palladium. In his visit to Richmond, he found no middle class in Richmond! "There are some white mechanics"--"but they occupy miserable shanties, generally." This veritable Doctor says: "There were two hundred and fifty white children, as poor and ignorant as the blacks, attending at the Laboratory School, and they need the aid of the people of the North. When I mentioned this fact to President Johnson, his answer was, 'I am very glad to find that anybody knows that there are white folks at the South!' We must do much for the poor whites. Many of these children were barefooted, and all poorly clad. The dwellings of Richmond are all either very large and imposing, or small and squalid. There are none for the middle class, for there is no such class. There are some white mechanics and workmen there, but they occupy miserable shanties generally — very unlike the New Haven mechanics.
ces, cannot have been written without full deliberation: "The object of General Schofield's visit here is, as we have already said, altogether conciliatory, and has in view only certain explanations of a passage which will be found in President Johnson's message. The presence of General Schofield among us is, therefore, only an additional proof of the excellent disposition of his Government towards France. After this complacent explanation, utterly inconsistent with the asseverations of Boniface that the General has no mission at all, the Pays goes on to adopt the stale and absurd story that General Logan is merely accredited to Juarez because President Johnson, having the patronage of a salary already voted, wished to give it to a personal friend. [from the London Pall Mall Gazette, December 9.] It is a singular coincidence that the General has come to France just at the moment when the rumor of a counterpart of the September Convention having been arranged bet

The Times says the passage in President Johnson's message which concerns England ought to be read in a friendly spirit. The Morning Post says it evinces a desire to keep on good terms with those they acknowledge to be their friends. The Telegraph is very eulogistic, and says th
Cynthiana, Kentucky, consisting of four white men and two negroes, recently made their escape from that institution, leaving behind them a written request to "clean up the prison by the time they returned from their holiday excursion. " The New Bedford Mercury says "nothing is wider from the truth than the charge that the Republican party is more anxious for power than it is to hasten the reconstruction of the Union." The Mercury will have its joke. --Prentice. Sumner called President Johnson's message in relation to the South "a whitewashing document." Use a ton of whitewash upon Sumner's political character and the whitewash would turn black, not the character white.--Prentice. Eleven negroes have been recently sentenced to the penitentiary from Montgomery county, Alabama, and seven from Tuscaloosa county. At this rate, the penitentiary of that State will be soon filled with this class of prisoners. General Howard asks the modest sum of eleven millions and thre
