The writer rebukes with calm hut with
ering severity die temper of the public
papers and utterances of the victors in
the fratricidal strife, in which it has
been'popular to brand Lee, Stonewall
Jackson and Jefferson Davis aa mea
worthy .to be ranked with Arnold and
Burr. He refers to the “ unseemly
and unnecessary” device, of placing the
names of the dead officers of the Union
army on marble tablets in the Chapel
at West Point, where in the language
of the Board of Visitors, “ the recre
ants who fought to destroy their gov
ernment” have no place.
He also introduces, with telling
force, an extract from Badeau’s His
tory of Gen. Grant, in which the rea
son which led 202 of the old army of
ficers to espouse the Southern Cause is
justly stated to have keen that they
held ** the authority of a State para
mount to that of the Union.”
The declaration of Mr. Anthony
Trollope, an English writer of strong
Northern proclivities daring the war,
is introduced, to show the reconstruc
tion policy which “ subjects the late
Southern Slave-owner to dominion
from the .African who was yesterday
his slave,” is the “ most terrible condition
ever imposed upon a fallen people.”—
The Italian has been made to feel an
Austrian over him; the Pole to feel a
Russian over him, but the crowning
political animosity has been illustrated
by the Republican from the North—
who himself rejects all contract with
the negro—but makes him the arbiter
of the destiny of the conquered.
Words of fire like these come with
withering force from the impartial
stand-point of British criticism, and
coupled with a fair statement of the
animating cause of the struggle, and a
fair review of the character of our
leaders, will make for the South a re
cord in history which, from the ashes
of her desolation, she may contemplate
with pride.
We have not space to follow the re
viewer through his admirable stretch
of Lee’s personal character, and mili
tary career, in which the marvels he
accomplished with his ragged and half-
fed veterans are truthfully delineated.

we come across isolated facts, now and
then, which eppea! to'our individual
experiences, and touch our individual
sympathies. Here, for instance, a let
ter lies before us, in which a gentleman
in a Southern State tells us quietly that
in I860 he was worth, in real and per
sonal property, between $100,000 and
$125,000, upon which he paid an an
nual taxation of $125.
Now, his negroes, stock and fencing
gone, and his land reduced by the dis
orders of labor add the times to a mere
fraction of its value twelve years ago,
he has to pay taxesto the amount of $600!
Can simple fact speak more eloquently
thto that? His estate is reduced to
less than one-fourth its former value,
and his taxes nearly quintupled in their
gross sura, while, relatively to his es
tate, they are twenty times ns great as
they were! This gentleman is not a
Ku-Klux; but put the case that a
fraudulent government were to multi

Astor, Vanderbilt, and other property-
holders North, would not they seek
remedies outside the law ? The amia

The Herald Max amoxg the
Outlaws.—One of the raciest inci
dents of the Bohemianisn of the New
York press, is the visit of Henderson,
a Herald reporter, to the Lowrey gang
of outlaws in North Carolina. He
spent several days wit!, them; and was
at one time reported to have been shot,
but the latest is that he made his escape
in safety.
The Wilmington Journal, of Satur
day, says:
The wife of Heniy Lowrey, the out
law chief, was at Moss Neck depot yes
terday as the train passed that point,
whither she came for the purpose of
delivering a dispatch from Henderson,
to lie sent North from this city. She
states that the correspondent was at
Lowrey’s cabin, near Moss Neck, on
Friday evening about six o’clock, when
Tem Lowrey, Stephen Lowrey and
Andrew Strong suddenly entered it and
roughly told him to get up and go with
them. He told them that he was ready,
hut fast ssbl pswubsbb to send off a
dispatch to his paper, which was ac-
corued him, when he wrote the dispatch
and gave it to the Lowrey female, who,
as we have seen, fulfilled her promise
to deliver it to the conductor of the
train. Henderson;then accompanied
the outlaws, .bound for the recesses of
the Scuffletown swamp. '
It was reported here yesterday, the
report coming from Shoe Heel, that
Henderson had been killed by the out
laws, but the report is generally dis
credited. - '
quoting with ’ him some time, try
ing to mducehim to come over and
testify beftneitoh some very impor
tant matters to the State and him-*
self. The Committee proposed to
allow him to come under fifty 9f

Governor Smith would send him
an assurance, under the groat seal
of the State, that be should not be
arrested.until his pardon by Conley
was finally il.-cided by the courts.
This, of course, the Governor had
no authority to do, which ends the
mutter of Blodgett’s testifying.—
He feels safe in South Carolina, as
King Scott assured him that under
no circumstances would he sign a
requisition for his arrest from Gov.
Smith. Scott, doubtless, has a fel
low-feeling for Blodgett Bullock
Liberal Railroad Policy.
The Reading Railroad Company in
Pennsylvania offer to guarantee fifty
per cent of the bonds of comparies or
ganized at suitable locations in the coal
regions of the Schuylkill Vailey, for
the establishment of iron works. The
same general oiler extends to other in
dustrial enterprises established on a
large scale, the object beiog to create
n greater market for coal, and increase
the value of their 85,000 acres of coal
lands, os well as to increase the busi-
ness of their railroad. The policy of
tiie Beading Railroad might be wisely
adopted by railroads in other sections,
penetrating coal and iron beds. Such
local traffic Is for more valuable than
the through business which almost all
riur old railroad companies have spent
ao much in reaching out to secure, and
which new combinations may at any

Applications for office still continue
to pour in upon Gov. Smith. I be
lieve there are nine Judges and
Solicitors General to appoint, and
I am informed that there are eighty-
three applicants for Judges’ places,
and ninety one for Solicitors Gen-*
cral. I learn that no application
has been received from the Macon
circuit What is the matter with
the lawyers of your circuit? Do
none of them want office? Perhaps
it is just as well for them that they
have not applied.
I learn that Gov. Smith has come
to the conclusion that the terms of
the four years judges do not expire
until January, 1873, and that con
sequently he has ho power of ap
pointment, but that it will devolve
upon the Governor to be elected
next fall. This position is correct,
in my opinion. If Bullock bad
not fled, we certainly would have
insisted that be had no right to ap
point judges after his administra
tion had been condemned by the
people. If the precedent is now
set for an out-going Governor to
appoint the judicial officers of the
State, you will readily see that no
newly elected Governor, fresh from
the people, will ever have the
power to appoint the civil rulers of
the peoDle. Then it is said, also,
that if the term of the four year
judges expires in July, does not
the term of the Governor himself
expire also? Bullock was elfected
for four years, and three judges
were appointed tor four years. Are
the four years of the Governor
longer than the four years of the
judges? *
I learn that the Bond Commit
tee has made some very strange
discoveries in relation to the passage
and signing of the second State aid
bill to the Brunswick and Albany
Railroad bill. The bill was passed
on the 7tb of September, 1870, and
approved on the 17th of October,
1870, nearly forty' days ufjer its
passage.
The friends of the bill say that
was occasioned by a joint resolution
requiring the presiding officers of
the two bousesi to withhold all
State-aid bills from the Governor
dntil all bad been acted on by the
Legislature. This resolution was
approved October 17th, 1872—the
same day of the approval of the
bill. It appears from the journals
that the chairman of the Enrolling
Committee reported on the ISth
October that the bill had been en-
rolled and was then ready for the
signatures of.foe , presiding officers
of foe House ana Senate. This
was two days after it had beeq ap
proved by Bullock. It further ap
pears from foe same journal that
oh foe 2ofo pf October Bullock
sent a message to tbe House inform
ing them that be had approved that
identical bill. ( Yet the original bill
qow on file in the office of the Sec
retary of State shows, in Bullock’s
own bandwriting, that heapproved
it on October 17th. This bill gave
that road $1,880,000 of foe gold
bonds of the State besides the $15-
000 per mile in the first aot grant
ing State aid. Two' days after he
sent his message to the House in

truest test of a departure from the way

For the past two seasons has been most satisfactory, as a SPEClu
COTTON PRODUCER, notwithstanding all the draw backs and JW
dential difficulties it had to contond with.
Results have oertaiiify’ demonatated the necessity of modifvi ug
COMPOSITION OF FERTILIRNRS to the physical and chemical
dition of the soil, equally as to the production of plant root) necessary
lor particular crops. Therefore I have prepared a Fertilizer 3
Adapted to the Requirements of Each Xiod of Soil,
No. 1, for Light Gray Sandy Land* Cash, $55 Per Ton
No. 2, for Red Clay Land, Cash, $H0 Per Ton.
For each kind, $5 per ton additional will be charged for time tn i*j ot
November next.
The SPECIAL PECULIARITY that all have, remarked in this prepa-ntion
is, that it
Not only increases Hie Crop two to three fold
BUT SUSTA INS THE PLA NT A GAINST DRO UGHT & HE A T. ’
Numbers of our most respectable planters attest this fact. The limits of
an advertisement will not admit of the introduction of much testimony
but I am kindly permitted to refer to a number of the most distinguished
Planters in the State who have used this Fertilizer, and expressed their
unqualified approval of its value, viz :
