unprecedented in our history is to meet at New Orleans on the 10th ot April It is to be composed whol ly of colored men and its announced ob ject isto promote the union of the negro race in the North end South for coinmer cid and political purposes The scheme may be fraught with serious consequences It is of the first importance to the late slaves that our politics should be Colorless: that a man should be elected to ollicc not because he is black or because he is white but because he is worthy of the trust Il they persist in this apparent effort to es tablish an impcri'vi in imperia it will definitely delay that second emancipation from demsgogism which they seem to need almost as much as they did their first from slavery We shall have a Caucasian and an African party Common sense and very little of it ought to suffice to teach the negroes what the result of such a division would be It is essential to the prosperity of the country that they should be educated and their condition otherwise improved as quickly as possible but this is not to be done by political combination We hope that wiser councils may prevail so that the Convention will devote itself to the careful consideration of all schemes of general improvement and ignore poli tics so far as may be A Magnificent STrrcrutiE The New Tensas and Mobile bridge (or bridges) on the Mobile ami Montgomery Railroad

constructed of wood but its pil lars or supports are iron cylinders which rest on a solid surface of wooden piles driven down evenlv with the bottom of the stream and the nd of the interven ing morasses It has been three years in course of construction at a cost of about anl now that it has been successfully completed is perhaps the longest structure of the kind on the globe It shortens the distance hence to Mobile by about twelve miles of travel and three hours of time and feenres a continuous route of railroad' between Montgomery anil New Orleans Alto gether it is a wonderful work and
