MORE FRATERNIZATION.—The Pensacola Observer brings a report of a meeting of white and colored citizens, at which the speakers were Mr. Mallory, a member of Jeff. Davis' Cabinet; a white officer of a Union negro regiment, and Hays Satterwhite, an old colored man, the counterpart, apparently, of Beverly Nash. Their speeches breathed the spirit of the Columbia meeting. Mallory counseled a frank acceptance of the situation, a ready compliance with the law, and the cultivation of friendly relations between whites and blacks. He declared that the negroes, being free, are entitled to, and may be safely trusted with the franchise, and he called upon the whites to do all that is possible to promote their improvement, in order that the friendly relations of the two races may be assured. The colored speaker, as well as the white speakers, condemned the separate organization of the blacks, as a political party. The meeting, it is said, is one of several of the same character that have been held in Florida.
