Ouk Negro Population. The Richmond Whig Bays it is not unusual to hear a negro congratulate himself that be is not a white man. While the latter ii subject to conscription, and may have hardships to undergo in the army never experienced by a plantation slave, Sambo remains at home and enjoys himself, undisturbed by apprehensions of conscription or "impecumesity." How different the treatment of the negroes who fall into the power of the base Yankees. The poor wretches no longer boast of their advantage over the white man. They are summarily forced to take up arms, and treated as creatures only fit for "food for gunpowder." Victoria and Leopold A rumor has originated In Belgium that the Queen of England is disposed tc marry a second time, and tbe London press is very indignant.

At the same time, while they pronounce it a "foul and dangerous calumny, they also state that (ears about Kiug Leopold's visit to England the present month. Tbe advice of this crafty diplomatist," as they style him, is said never to have been given to or taken by the Queen Without injury to her welfare and honor." Censure is most effectual when mixed with praise. So, when a fault is discovered, it well to look np rirtoe her it cjwpsnv.

Mr. Foote said that ho was not surprised that tbe gentleman from Georgia (Mr.

Gartudl) should rush for wind with such extraordinary ze-i MB the defence of the President. It was well known that this gentleman held the in great admiration. In a speech before the Georgia Legislature, the gentleman told us that our noble President was not only a great man a patriot a Btattsman but he wns a Christian. More even he was a second Washington. On that nocturnal ec-casion, he recollections of which he hoped would never leave the gen'leman, he had desciibed the President as our a-do rn-ble President after the fashion of the Romans, whose senators spoke ol their rulers as our great and deified hm-peror, etc.

Mr. Foote continued to urge his resolution on the House. He was in favor of raising the soldiers' pay to twenty-two dollars a month, and that in gold and silver or its equivalent, and of increasing their rations. jT A resolution was introduced in the Senate on Thursday, which may prove the source of a great reform in the Confederate Administration. A law is proposed to limit the term of office for the Cabinet ministers to two years.

At the expiration of that term they may be renominated, and the Senate can confirm their nomination for another, and another term, if it think proper, or can reject their nomination, if their administration has been worthless and unsatisfactory to the country.
