tchnrUr Colfax’* Speecli.
Though the work lias not actually be
gun, we see signs of life at "Washington
which betoken the near approach of the
day when Congress is to assemble. The
usual preliminaries are being transacted
Some of the members have already pre
sented themselves, and, for reasons we
have not curiosity enough to enquire
into, have resorted to speech making-
Their remarks are caught up eagerly bj
the reporters of enterprising journals,
and before they have had time to grow
cold are given to the public throng ou
the country.
We do not attach much importance to
opinions expressed under such circum
stances. We would not play with straws
'in such guste of wind. No harm can pos
sibly arise out of this love for speechify
ing and it may answer a very good pur
pose by lowering the pressure and insur
ing a steady, easy working of the ma
chinery. High mettled thoroughbreds
require to be sent around the track several
times before they can be relied on to
pass well under the whip without a break
up. We can see no objection to ex-
Bpeaker Colfax trying his pasterns, either
to gratify his friends, who wish to see
him speed himself, or, as his political
enemies have it, to prepare himself for
the race for the Speakership. The same
with ex-Clerk McPherson. It makes lit
tle difference what they said or did. They
would, in any event, be set upon by the
opposition' press, embittered as it is by
the reoent defeats their party has suffered,
and their remarks tortured into meaning
whatever they would, for political effect,
have them say, and which it would be
creditable to their good sense not to say.
Mr. Colfax is represented as having in
dulged in fulsome praise of President
Johnson, at the same time delivering
himself of considerable radicalism by the
way of baiting that wing of his party.
We believe nothing of the kind, and to
show that our belief is well grounded,cite
the fact that his speech elicited very
sparing comment from the Union papers,
whicli would not have been the case had
he attempted to blow hot and cold, as his
enemies ai'e pleased to assert. Mr. Col
fax and Mr. McPherson have too much
political good sense to endanger their
prospects of re-election to the position
to which they aspire, to parade their
views at such an unfavorable time, unless
they, in every essential particular, agreed
with those entertained by Mr. Johnson.
We are not forced to accept an exparte
statement, come from whichever side it
may. W e can afford to wait a few days
patiently, and see and judge for our
selves as to what is likely to be the true
feeling towards us.
Since the above was in type we have
received a full report of Mr. Colfax’s
speeoh, which we print entire in another
oolumn.

BT MISS CARRIE CORR1KITE LESTER.
Mr. Editor .—Allow me to express to yon
my heartfelt thanks, for the kind courtesy you
hare extended to mo during my visit to Savan
nah, arriving here about ten days ago, a per
fect atranger. 1 have written a short sketch
for the column* of your extensively read jour
nal, which fact may seem strange to many,
that I, a Southern lady, a correspondent and
agent of the New-York Daily News, should pen
an article for a Republican journal, and" more
especially when the Editor of said paper is held
up to the admiring crowd as a righteously ▼ 6
abolitionist, a thief of printing rubbish, a nasty
wide-awake Yankee, daring to be so mean as
proclaim the truth, and encouraging »
propensity to uphold the cans ® . ,
spitefully remaining neutral to the
Chatham Countyj.il board. Having observed
that this grim journal is read secretly, if not
boldly by nearly every family in Savannah,
hence my choice for publication of my sketch.
A Sketch—The Confederate Soldier,
Dramatic.
Mr. and Mrs. Watkins made their first
appearance at the Theatre last evening
before an appreciative audience. The
performance was a • real dramatic enter
tainment, such as is seldom afforded thea
tre goers in Provincial cities, and those
of our citizens who failed to witness the
natural and touching rendition of the real
Irish character in Katlileen Mavoumeen,
missed a-genuine treat. We intend to
give these excellent artistes a more ex
tended notice in our next issue, for they
: are really meritorious people who adorn
flhe theatrical profession, and tend to
elevate the public taste for the legitimate
drama.
To-night we are promised the Hidden
Hand, which has enjoyed a long and
prosperous run at the principal theatres
North. *
Presentation of a Treasurer of tlie
Bnal Israel Congregation in New
York,
On Monday evening a oommlttee of the abovo
ooo gregation presented to tbeir Treasurer, Mr
Berleyn, a beautiful and oostly goblet and pitched
of pure silver, with the inscription, “Presented to
8. B Berleyn, r,sq , by some of his friends of the
congregation of Bnal Israel, in token)of respeet for
hi* able and faithful servioes as true tee and
treasurer of said congregation.” |The ceremony
and festivities were held at Mr. Berleyn’* resi
dence, 115 Chatham Btreet. There was a select
and very pleasant party present on the occasion,
A banquet was spread by Mr. Berleyn, and
speeches were made by Messrs. Leon, Solomon,
Cbute and others. Toasts, pleasantry and
champagne entertained the comnany to a late
hour. The testimonial oost some ave hundred
dollars.
On Sunday afternoon there was a great stam
pede among our colored brethren assembled in
the African Churoh. For some time past digging
has been going on under it, for the purpose of
fitting up a school room for their accommodation.
Paring the *ervioe, one of the pillars was noticed
to bo yielding and the sexton rushed in and with
*re*v want of preeenoe of mind exaggerated the
daagsr greatly that the doors were not big
enough to a' l »w of the Afriean exodus. Many
jumped from tnC window* and in the fall some
damage was done. We heard of one woman who
had her ankle broken aCd of several who reoeiv-
ed severe contusions in getting oat. The fire
bells were rang, and since Wilson'* raid to such
scene ha* occurred among the oolored population.
[Mont. Advertiser, 21st.
vralor General Palmer Indicted by a
Kentucky Grand Jury. . •
Louisville, Nor. 21,1865.
Major Genral Palmer boss indieted by t&e
Grand Jury of this eouuty for enticing stave* to
tUt 8t*tt of
The sorrow, gloom, and inexpressible woe
and desolation which for four years has o’er
mantled our beloved country with a pall of
terror, besprinkled with the blood of America’s
brave sons, ha a been more keenly felt by the
Southern people than our more fortunate
countrymen. Scarcefy a family escaped the
sacrifice of placing upon the war-altar some
dear male relative to engage in a cause which
felt that duty called them to embrace.
This was the general feeling North and South.
Both have suffered, both have shed bitter tears
in mourning for the brave dead but the soul
stirring agony has been our share ; the priva
tions, the woes of want, and made to see out
cherished homes laid in ashes, our babes crying
for bread, our soldiers starving, ragged—if onr
patient conduct and silent privations claim not
the admiration of the world—we truBt onr
morals will not be gibbeted for the cruel de
light of a S*et of false journalists, who are not
content in the politicial humiliation of the
South, but must try to spot our fair names, we
can only say with the old Bard, “Heaven, par
don all such base calumniators.”
Circumstances have so willed that the author
has heard the last remarks of many a dying
Federal and Confederate soldier, but no event
has so affected and sadly interested me as the
history and death-bed scene of Walter H—a
Confederate soldier, who received his death
wound during the memorable siege of Vicks
burg. I first saw him lying upon the couch at
the Officers’ Hospital, situated on Front Row,
Memphis, Tenn. On the right as you enter
the building, were the wards for the Confeder
ate officers, and on the left were those for the
Federals—all tenderly and kindly eared for by
their country—the snow-white couches, and
general order of neatness, and skillkul atten
tion of physicians have received the heartfelt
thanks of widows and orphans whose relations
have shared these comforts.
Walter H was a frail and delicate youth,
possessing almost a girlish beauty, still a face
so attractive that your admiration and sympa
thy were at once aroused ; that calm but ex
pressive eye, the soft, gentle smile ever resting
on that pale, earnest face, which told the be
holder that the invalid was gifted with great
decision of character, lofty and generous views
of life. 1 learned his sad but short history.—
He was the pride, joy and hope of an only sis
ter, who had received his infant form from the
arms of their only remaining parent, who was
soon to make them orphans. Years slowly
and happily glided by, to-morrows still were
lost in yesterdays, ever finding the sister-
mother faithfully discharging her duty to the
idolized brother. All that wealth could pro
cure was lavished upon Walter to promote his
happiness and future life. Not a cloud came
to darken or obscure the sunshine of his boy
hood days. He zealously studied, placing his
standard high, possessing all those qualities
which made him capable to boldly dare the
wildest storm, to reach the gaol of fame, and
there enroll his name among the good and
great of America’s gifted sons.
Thus the lad grew to the age of twen
ty. When the country was agitated
by the startling cry of war, r and
each State was loudly called upon to follow the
example of its sister State, every true born
Southerner was exhorted to espouse the causfc
of his fellow-countrymen, and thus the morn
marshaled them in arms. The honr of twi
light came to witness the sobs and heart-bro
ken partings, the terror and confusion of be
loved ones, who, perchance, were seen for the
last time. Both the North and South sent
up one common wailjof woe over the outburst
of our country’s strife.
Listen for a moment to the last conversation
between Walter and his devoted sister. The
silent hour of night had crept on apace—the
two were still sitting by the fireside of that
dearly loved home; each incident of the past
was recalled and talked over ; the sister again
dwelt upon the memories of their sainted pa
rents, while the brother pictured ih imagina
tion the beloved faces of those whose care and
protection he had never known, but whose
worth and honor were forever printed on the
tablets of his memory. At length he raised
his eyes to gaze upon the weeping face of his
motber-sister. His soft, white hand smoothed
the fair ringlets from her brow, while he spoke
words of comfort to her, scarcely able to re
press his own feelings. At length he faulter-
ingly said:
“ My own precious sister, I have lived to
loathe my existence when I am told that I
must take up arms against my own country
men. Are we not one family '< our honored
forefathers fought together, bled and died to
gether for the establishment of our indepen
dence. Now, I am forced to help break this
old Constitution—to trample upon our dearly
loved flag. Oh! how rejoiced I Vm that our
noble father lies in his grave free from the
dreadf d1 agonywhich must fill the breast of every
true American. I must protect the land that
gave me birth, the land where lies buried the
hallowed dead of all our family.”
The mom had long stole upon the night,
bringing its fearful excitement before the last
conversation they would ever cqjoy was finished.
The sister’s blearing wasfgiveu. None can pie
tore that fond sister’s poignant grief, when ahe
bid farewell to her only brother, aud saw him
in all his youthful beauty and pride, arrayed in
hi* war habilimento—the last kiss was given,
the fast embrace was token, his sister fainted
in his arms. Walter hastened to the bogie’s
summon, gently piecing the precious form in
i {be arms of a faithful slave with the muttered
words: “O, God protect and watch over her.”
he then was gone, never to visit that homestead
again; his merry voice and joyous laugh were
soon to be hushed forqver.
The faithful sister never lost sight of her
noble brother. Each day brought news of the
deadly strife. Soon the ruthless arm of war
brandished its tyrant sway over her peaceful
town, sorrowfully laying in ashes the homes of
many The horrors which arise out of a civil
war are too dreadful for contemplation. When
Walter’s sister heard of his sickness, that he
was a prisoner at the Memphis Hospital, she
hastened to his bedside. It-was sorrowful to
witness the anxious care which the dying sol
dier manifested for the arrival of his sister. In
bis sleep he would softly murmur her name,
while a happy, Serene smile would play over
his pallid countenance. The last day be spent
on earth I kept constantly by the side of his
couch, watching the patient sufferer, calmly
and silently battling with death. Ever and
anon he would awake from the effects of some
anodyne to gaze around the room for that sis
ter’s face, and then sadly close his eyes in mute
disappointment.
The time and surrounding scene was strongly
appropriate to the last hours of the youthful
soldier. The patients were all silent in the
Who knew more of the facts-than yon? And if
true, why should I be imprisoned when every
other functionary who b*« held a*y of the offices
which I have filled i» at large ?
Mr application far amnesty is a full and
faithful explanation not only of conduct, but
*l*o of opinion. My assurance of future obe
dience to the government is given in the
strongest terms. My willingness to aid in
carrying out the policy of the government and
reassuring the harmonious anion of the States
is expressed in language as sincere and strong
as any one has used.
Caii I not, under such circumstances, have
that relief Which my discharge on parole would
afford? If the President is so disposed, let
the pardon depend upon my conduct in the fu
ture. Is this asking too much ? Can it be
obtained ? I would not trouble you again if I
knew any other to' whom I could write, and
who would be able to act in the matter.
Yours, very truly,
A. G. Maorath.

room, breathlessly watching the dying moments
of their beloved comrade. The windows were
opened to admit the evening breeze which so
gently crept into the sick room, fanning the
brow and softly playing with the neglected
locks of the once proud and worshipped Walter
H , The noble Mississippi river just in
the distance, the levy desolate, the by-gone
days of industry given place to desolation, the
hum of voices hushed, the soft rays of a glo
rious sunset just casting its refulgent light in a
mellow, lambent hue over the horizon, while
the soul of America’s noble son was parting
from its earthly tabernacle to seek that holy
peace and rest which the grave alone can give.
The dark shadow of advanced twilight obscured
the distant river, and the melodious notes of
the mocking bird is now heard, when the sol
dier is aroused from his letbargie sleep to the
stern truth that he is dying.
In a clear, musical voice he anxiously en
quires, “ Has my dear sister come ?—I fear I
shall never see her again in this life, but you,
my dear friend, will tell her how dearly I love
her, and that I die happy, praying for the wel
fare of my dear country—that peace shall again
visit onr land, crowning the North and South
with the garland of brotherly love.”
The last words of Walter in prayer to his
mother have been answered. But what pen
cm portray that dear sister’s anguish when she
gazed upon the inanimate corpse of her idol.
She arrived too late to speak with him. No
tears flowed to ease her distracted brain. Her
grief was so great that silence was her only
comfcrter. Not even his name did she utter—
not an inquiry did she make of his last mo
ments—but in listless meditation did she in a
low voice relate their past life. The stricken
one only lived in a dream. Death kindly re
leased her from the burden of life in less than
three months after Walter’s demise from the
cares and sorrows which had laid him in an
early grave.

Return of Gen. Grant—His Official Report of
Military Operations.
General Grant and staff arrived safely in
Washington this morning. His official report of
military operations since his promotion to the
lieutenant generalcy was sent to the War Depart
ment several weeks ago, and has never been re
turned for correction or alterations, as stated in
certain quarters. It will probably accompany
the Secretary’s report to the President, and be
published simultaneously with that forthcoming
document, of which it is to some extent an ap
pendage-
The Ram Stonewall en route to Washington.
The Navy Department is informed that the
Stonewall was at Beaufort on Sunday en route
to this city. The rough weather has probably
prevented her leaving that port until to-day, in
which case her arrival may be looked for on
Sunday or Monday.
The Shenandoah—Hostile Reeling Towards
England.
The feeling here against England for allow
ing the officers and crew of the Shenandoah to
go scot free is one of.undisguised hostility. The
arguments of the Herald are considered incon
trovertible, and all agree that her crew most be
given up to onr authorities under the Extradi
tion treaty. No doubt is entertained of our
ability to prove from her own logbook that she
took many prizes after being informed of the
close of the war.

trouble to my friends, who are able to do any- ! lively, while at “Roark’s corner” the same bust-
thing for me. And the thought that the sight . ness”activity was seen. Our rural neighbors are

GOVERNOR HUMPHREYS TO THE
PRESIDENT.
His Dislike of Negro Troops.
friends is to me a source of inexpressible pain.
S st, st u^.-smu.-su,
prisoners have received to-day, I am forced to
write you and ask if it is not possible to ac
complish my liberation ?
Every other Governor of a reconstructed State
is at large. Every other judge ot the United confined in jati, while the former ga e
States who resigned is at large. Every other “fJ
judge of the Confederate States is at large. Why
should I be detained ’ What have I done V Who
strove in the State more earnestly than I did-for
years to avert a separation ? Who was held
more responsible than I for having stayed the
action of ’tho State ? And when I did resign,
what other course could 1 pursue than that which
I did pursue, in resigning at once, that a succes
sor might be appointed ? Would this be con
demned ? If so, what was the alternative V Was
it to continue, and either thwart the action of the
g overnment, or renounce opinions which I
onestiy entertained '! If this be true, what is
my offence but in having such opinions? And
can that be censurable when with me the conclu
sion was not a matter of choice, but of necessity,
because of the 'convictions I had. I could go
further; for you know that because of an adher
ence to the like convictions, I became obnoxious
to the government at Richmond. The opinion 1
had of that government had excluded me from its
confidence and deprived me of itafavor. Certain
ly, in the entertainment of my opinions and in
the adoption of my conclusions I have shown
that I was endeavoring to geek the truth, and in
the search I maintained consistency.
If Judge is opposed to me it esn only be
from some private piqne. To Mr. Seward I am
wholly unknown, and what can Judge——have
against me? Can I not point to my course da
ring the time that I held the commission ol the
United States and ask him, or any and sil else,
to say in what is there wrong ?
Am 1 not entitled to claim that I met the Court
of the United States in South Carolina, an effete
institution, little known or respected, snd that
under my auspices and direction it had risen to
as great consequence and enjoyed ns mnoh res
pect and confidence as any other court in the
State ? Was it not known to all that in the in
crease of its business the road was opened for
the lawyer of South Carolina to the Supreme
Court, where but few before had ever found their
way, aod that the unhappy convulsion which
shook the country alone prevented that more ex
tended intercourse from which so much good waa
expected ? Or will it be said that I closed ths
court and stopped the - action of the government?
Could I close the court, except so tar as I was
the judge, by my resignation ? Could not a suc
cessor have been appointed? Could not Judge
—have opened the court ? Could not all busi
ness have been under the law transferred to the
courts in Georgia ?
No matter what my private opinions may hats
been, you know that opposition to the movement
in the Stats wsi utterly idle. You know that the
only organized party iu the State by whieh oppo
sition had been made was broken up, and that its
leading members in different parte of the State
had dissolved its unity. You know that in th*
summer of 1860 Mr. Boyce published his letter, in
whieh he urged separate State aotion in’the even-
of Mr. Lincoln's tlootion, although bo had boon
one of the leader* of the ahti-seOesrion party in
1850. You knew fhat soon after Mr. Orr pub-
liahed hi* letter, in which he oottnselled' a more-
mint a* soon as four States were ready to »®t»—
You know that these and other leaders haring
that spoken, there oeme to be bat oae parpoee
•rer/where, and all talk that upon the happening
of the eoatlngenoy which was then contemplated
the ohoiee must be made by all whether they
would go with the State. I* net aU this tru* ?—
SPIRITED REPLY OF THE CHIEF MAG-
18TBATE.
Jackson, Nov. 21, 1865.
The bill conferring certain civil rights upon
freedmen passed, the House to-day, with a sub
stitute for the fourth section. Freedmen ore
allowed to testify and be witnesses when a par
ty to the record; but not cases exclusively be
tween white men, by a vote of 56 to 30.
Gof. Humphreys telgrapbedon the 18th inst.,
to the the President, that the colored troops at
tacked and took possession of a passenger-train
at Louderdale Springs, and insulted the ladies,
tbeir officers being unable to control them.
He further say* the Legislature have memo
rialized for the removal of the troops, and are
willing to extend the right to freedmen to testify
in court if tbe troops are withdrawn. The Presi
dent replied that the troops would be withdrawn
when peaoe and order oould be maintained with
out them.
Measures should be adopted, giving protection
to all Freedmen in their possession, which will
entitle them to assume their Constitutional rights.
There was no disposition on the pert of tbe Gov
ernment arbitrrily to dictate, bat simply to ad
vise a policy that is beneficial.
