Howard, who has made an exten ded tour at the S®nth, looking after his ‘ snug little farm”—the Bureau—has just returned to Washington city and has declared that even he, “the head of the hated Freedmen’s Bureau,” could pass through all the South and be treated with civility, and gives this as the strongest proof of how quiet, law-abiding and peaceable we are. The Radicals announce daily in flaming big letters the outbreak of a “new rebellion," how men are hanged, drawn and quartered on ac count of their political opinions, how negroes are killed by hundreds for the fun of the thing, aud liow a reign ol terror exists for the lrooly- loil. The testimony is conflicting. Either General Howard is a copperhead and a rebel sympathi zer, or the Radical editors are well lying under a mistake. Spoon Butler and Shoddy Atkinson. The hero of Fort Fisher aud the great finan cier of Massachusetts, like our own Fitzpatrick and Bryant, and lor a similar cause, are waging deadly feud. Atkinson did not. approve of But ler being nominated for Congress in the Fifth District, and went to work to get Mr. Richard Dana to run as an independaut Radical candi date in which he succeeded. Hence Bntler is as mad as a hornet and he is giving Atkinson fits in several newspapers. Atkinson kicks hack and of course is poetic. What would Atkinson be without poetry V Like the Shoe-Blacking maker’s daughter, Atkinson could declare : “We keeps a poet,” Atkiuson’s latest apropos of Butler who is called “ihe great unscrupulous,” is as follows : “Whom friends and foes alike despise, Whose sonl squints through his devious eyes In which, and In his face, you see The devil's likeliest eftigy.” Butler is f urious at the verses, at Atkinson, at Dana, and at a number of Radicals who seem to “despise” him very positively. He says that his opponent Dana is already “a dead cock in the pit,” aud Dana thinks that the cock is all in Butler’s eye. A. C. MoNEILL, Huntington, Tennessee. M. H. WRIGHT, H. V.

Detachments, when necessary, may be made to points in the vicinity of each post; but in no case, nor on any pretext whatever, will de tachments be sent without a commissioned offi cer, who will be fully instructed by the post com mander. III. The troops will be considered as m the field, and supplied with the necessary camp equipage; the men to be furnished with com mon tents if practicable, and if not practicable, with shelter tents. Commanding officers are permitted to hire quarters, temporarily, when it can he done lor reasonable rates; but this will not preclude the necessity of carrying tents, as the commands, in all cases, must be in readiness to move at the shortest notice, with all supplies required for their efficiency. IV. The time of the movement will be con sidered as thirty days, and the Quartermaster, Commissary and Medical Supplies will be taken on that basis. V. When there are no Medical officers to be detached with the commands, the attendance of private physicians will be authorized on the terms provided for in the Regulations of the Army or the instructions of the Medical Direc tor at these Headquarters. VI. Company property and such supplies as are not required in the field, together with the sick and infirm, will be left at the posts from which the commands depart. VIL Officers will be held to a strict accounta bility that their commands Are properly supplied with everything requisite for the discharge of the duties assigned them, aud that they do not contract accounts based on their failure to do so. While accounts thus contracted will be paid, yet if the expenditure is not approved, and the ser vices and property properly accounted for, the accounts wjll be forwarded to the War Depart ment, recommending the stoppage of the amounts thereof from the pay of the officer contracting them. VIII. District commanders will instruct post commanders in their duties, and the relative po sition of the civil and military powers. They will furnish them with copies of the circulars from these Headquarters, of August 27th ult., and October 1st hist., (the latter of which was forwarded September 15th to district command ers) in which the instructions of the War Depart ment are set forth in full. They will impress on post commanders that they are to act in aid and co-operation, and in subordination to the civil authorities; that they are to exercise discretion and judgment, unbiased by political or other prejudices; that their object should be exclu sively to preserve the peace and uphold law and order, and they must be satisfied such is the ob ject of the civil officer calling on them for aid ; that they must, in all cases where time will per mit, apply for instruction to superior authority, but they must at all hazards preserve the peace, and not be restrained by technical points when in their judgment, under the rules above set forth, it is their duly to act. Post commanders on being notified of the proposed holding of political meetings, may send an officer, and if necessary a detachment, to watch the proceed ings and see that the peace is preserved. IX. To the people of the several States com posing the Department, the Major General com manding appeals that they will co-operate with him and the civil authorities in sustaining law and order, in preserving the peace and in avoid ing those scenes of riot and bloodshed, and the wanton destruction of property and life, which has already, in some instances, been enacted in the Department. He urges abstinence from all inflammatory and incendiary appeals to the passions ; discountenancing the keeping open of liquor shops on days of political meetings and of election ; the abstaining from carrying arms, and asserting the individual right of construing laws by force of arms. No just cause is ever advanced by resort to violence. Let there be charity and forbearance among political oppo nents, whatever may be the lesult; let each good citizen determine that all who, under the law, have the right to the ballot shall exercise it undisturbed. It there are disputed points of law, let them be referred to the courts, and let not mobs or political clubs, or other irresponsi ble bodies, construe and undertake to execute the law. This appeal is made iu the earnest hope that the Major-General Commanding can rely on the good sense and correct judgment of the mass of the people, and that he will not be compelled to resort to the exercise of the power with which he is intrusted, and which he will most reluctantly employ. But he thinks it his duty to make known, that so far as the power under his command will admit, he will not per mit the peace to be broken, and that be will not be restrained in the conscientious discharge of his duty by technicalities of laws made when the present anomalous condition of aflairs were neither anticipated nor provided for. By order of Major-General Meade. R. C. Drum, Assistant Adjutant General. Official: C. D. Emory, A. D. C. Horrible Case of Miscegenation. A Father Marries a Negro Wench, and Compels Hla Daughter to Marry a Black Negro. The Columbia City (Ind.) Post, of the 30th ultimo, gives the details of a horrible transaction which has recently occurred iu Whitley county. A man by the name of David M. Long, of Smith township, in that county, married a negro wench for his third wife, and beat bis daughter by a former marriage, a girl of sixteen years of age, until lie compelled her to take a buck negro. The facts are thus detailed : A white man by the name of David M. Long, a Republican in good political standing with his party, and who has been a citizen of the place for many years, has been successful in gulping down the last plank in the black and tan plat form . Tiiis monster has been a widower twice. His former wives were respected by all who knew them. By these marriages he had five children, two boys and three girls, who, too, are respected and esteemed. The memory of the dead and the fair fame of the living have been blackened by this unnamed beast, by uniting himself to a negro wench in marriage. Knowing that he could not procure a license in our county for such an alliance, he takes his muscle material with him fo Michigan, where, by the laws of that State, the twain were made one flesh. This little victory of Republican principles being won, he returned to his family—with her to whom his little ones must bow, and whom they must call by that endearing name, mother. Those children, who had often in their fond recollections for the loved in the grave, amid blinding tears, whispered that sweet name ia their prayers, now are commanded to forget the treasures of the tomb. Before them stood the rejiulsive form of their father’s wild choice. Her, to call mother 1 There was too mneh of forget fulness toward the dead iu this. The little ones, who had no one to whom they could look for protection but their father, whom they had never disobeyed in the least, now for the first time declined obedience, when, to obey, would be a sacrifice lo their honor. To embrace her aud call her mother, seemed to them more of the character of a punishment than a duty, and they refused, and for tiiis refusal, the eldest daughter, sixteen years of age, was whipped and beaten by him who claimed to be her father, un til she was literally covered with bruises. After being so cruelly beaten she sought and found re fuge with one of the neighbors. She was fol lowed by her father, found and driven home, with the threat of taking her life should she in the least disobey him. He told her that, unless she did return to the family within fifteen minutes, he would cut her heart out. She returned, but to meet a worse fate than death. During her absence, ar rangements had been made for her ruin, and one •Pompey (colored) w’as awaiting her return with a conveyance to take her to Michigan, where they were, after their arrival, married. Great excitement prevails among the people of Smith township, and threats ot violent pro ceedings against the unnatural beast have been made. Counterfeit Notes Afloat.—We learn that a number of counterfeit two-dollar treasury notes have been put afloat in this city, and onr readers had better examiue-closely all notes ot that denomination which may be offered to them. The counterfeits are printed on paper so like that used by the Treasury Department as to be well calculated to deceive, but in a close scrutiny of the engraving the spurious notes may be detected, as the vignette is poorly exe cuted.
