Serere on Grant, An Important Circular. Jturtau of JitfuoHi, FYeedmsn and Abandoned A recent article entitled “A Plain Talk with General Grant,” in the Bound TabU thus orjti- cites General Grant for aaaooiating with sport- mu characters: We are glad to know that Gen. Grant has lelt New York. Not bat that we doom bis presence an honor to any city, but for his own sske we rejoice that he baa gone elsewhere. Prond of hnu us our Lieutenant General; admiring him as the deli rarer of his country at a time when it teemed almost doubtful whether its armies would succeed or trail their banners in the dust; rever encing him as a moral hero in that he showed that he could be magnanimous in the hour of victory as well as brave in the day of battle, we rebelled more deeply than we have the heart to express his conduct during hie stay in the metro polis. Wo are no negro-worshippers, but there was that in this man that could not but win our re spect. Thero is oertaioly stuft’ in him that ho- ruejt aro mado of. Less than live years ago be was a plain tanner in the West, respected by all with whom he camo in contact, beloved by those who knew him best. To-day his nagie >* men tioned with honor by the civilized world. He ranks with the commanders ol history. Hence forth lie will be mentioned in the same category with Napoleon and Wellington and Washington, as a General who lead great‘armies to victory ami ever stood ready to treat a vanquished foe with magnanimitv that only great minds arc ca pable of. And when he had won his last greatest triumph and a nation was rejoicing over the overthrow ot oneot the vastest rebellions of his tory, instead ot entering, in the role of victory, tlieoity whi:h had for four years resisted all as saults, he quietly bast-ned to bis office in Wash ington, and made arrangements for the reduction of our armies. There was something graud in this What wonder, then, that the people regarded him with snoh high respeot! It would have been a greater marvel if that measure of respect bad been withheld. Latterly, however, his course has pained the better class of the community. When first ho left the capital and rccoired at every step the ovations of a grateful people, there was reason for believing that he accepted them reluctantly and was simply traveling about on business connected with his position as Lieut. General. But since then he has been on other tours, and lately has paid a visit of several days’ duration to the metropolis. This was well enough in itself; but there were incidents connected with it which do him no credit. It would have been well for him, well for the position which he fills so ably, and well for the country which holds him in such high esteem, if the daily press had not recounted them to the public. Would that lie had possessed one true friend to dissuade him from yielding to the alluremonts which were so adroitly placed before him. But he yielded, a«d the scandal has ere this coursed along the electric wires throughout the length aDd breadth of the land. Who were the raeu with whom Lieut. Gen Grant consorted during his slay in New York? Prominent among them was one Geo. Wilkes, a notorious “ sporting man,” and aiitor of a so-called u sporting” paper publisHBr in this city. This is the person who, a few years since, went to England as the champion of a low fellow by the name of Heenan", and backed him in his foht with an equally low fellow named Tom Sayers. The last mentioned per son has never been in this counfry that we are aware of; and as for Heenan and Wilkes, we are sure that neither of them ever gained ad mittance into the society of gentlemen, still less of ladies. Concerning Wilkes, we haVe never hoard a word against his personal character. All wc know or care to know about him is, that he is not a person of whose acquaintance n true gentleman would venture to boast. Wo h;ar of him as figuring at prize-fights, billiard matches and horse-races, rather than in the society of the intelligent and refined. Yet this is the man with whom Lieutenant General Grant went out to ride. Together thoy viewed a display-of what a daily paper terms ‘ ‘tfie crack horse flesh of the vicinity.” q’he promi nent sporting men of the city, we learn from the same paper, were present, as might be ex pected. Heading of this we instinctively re cur to Washington, and wonder if he would have lowered himself so far as to consort with the leading “sporting men” of his day, and view the “crack horse flosh of the vicinity.”— We think of Lieutenant General Grant's hon ored predecessor in office, and ask if the vener able Winfield Scott would accompany such a man as George Wilkes to .a popular raco track to see a lot of horse-jockeys show off a pack of race horses. Wc recall the name of Abraham - Lincoln, and resent as a personal affront the thought that, with all bis peculiarities, he would havo allowed himself to be chaperoned about New York by a leading “sporting man." We are not unmindful of the fact that a pub lic muu is, by virtae.of his office, oftimes com pelled to meet those whom he would spurn in private. We make all due allowances for the persistency.with which persons of low associa tions will foist themselves dpon their betters; but wo are unable to excuse the Lieut. General of (ho United States for meeting, on terms of familiari ty, men who havo yet to eross the threshold of decent aooloty. Those who seek his society are not to blame. Dogs will follow saen, and show signs of delight at the recognition of their pres- ouco. The responsibility attaohes to the mdn, not to the ours. Ho is It as regards the hupian specie*; A man is known by the oompany he keeps, and he who consorts with characters whom good society ksohewi malt expeot to be judged accordingly. We speak thus plainly became of the high es teem in which, In oommon with the American people, we hold General Grant The country owes him a debt, for the payment ofgwhloh no emolument that It eon offer him i§ * cc g?8a t __ But he owes it to himself, tc 'the country, and to bis high position, to keep at a respeetful distauoe tho men whom he hal allowed t<v associate with him in this otty on terms of inch familiarity.— True, ours Is a democratic government, bat that is no reason why a proper degree of respeot should not be paid to onr rulers on tbt one hand, and the rulers on the other, should not maintain tho self-rsspsot that is due to their office. The existence ortho former is, in great measure, de pendent upon the latter. And If the highest officer in the army sees fit to hob-nob with bores employes from Ibis city‘to a point about fifty _ ... _ , iqUirifp.' the following ia published for tho information and guidaaceof Officers and Agents of this Bureau. L This Bureau does not propose to aupport or remove from the plantations, or homo ot their late inaatera, the helpless and deorepid freed peo ple or young ohildren. If the former have child ren who are able to support them, they must be required to do so, if not, there is no other alter native but that their former owner* shall pro vide for them until the Sute makes provision for their support. The parents of the latter, if able, must support them, it not, Agents will en deavor to bind them out, together with orphans •ud thoss whose parents oan not be found, as set forth In Circular No. 8, from this office. It must be apparent to the people that it is im practicable for the Bureau to remove aud pro* vi le fir the very large number of destitute and helpless freed people who are scattered through out the 8tate Besides, It should ns remembered, that there Was an implied eontrsst between the master and his slave, that in return far bis servioc (he slave should be fed, slothed and lodged, during his old age,and where the former sieve has fulfilled the conditions nf the contraet on his part,the form er master Is pot absolved from his obligations, by the freedom of the slave, for whloh the latter ia hi no way responsible. Honor and humanity teqnire that the former master shall not attempt to osotpe from or evade hie responsibilities.— Evan suoh oolored people as are able, by their labor to provide for their old. worn oat parents, have a right to expeot that the former owners of parents, will, if able, assist them in beaiiog this harden. Justice tequires this. It would bo shameful to impose the entire burden upon those whose only meins ofjmpport is their labor. Very few per sons have been found in tbs State, and they by no means the most estimable, who do bpt re gard tha matter in the light elated. II. In upper and middle Georgia, whera land is comparatively poor, end but a small quantity of cotton or corn can be raised to tbs aore, plan-, tera oiler from twelve to thirteen dollars per month, with board and lodging, to full male, end eight to ten dollars for lull tamale field hands, the laborer to furnish his own clothing and medicines. Along the coast and in South western Georgia, and ip other portions of the State, where good crops of eottoq, rice, corn or sugar cau be raised, planters offer fitteeu dollars per mouth, board and lodging, tb full male, aud ten dollars to full female field hands. In all portions of the State, planters are found who prefer to give a portion ot the orop, which, with a favorable season, wonld probably give the labor a sum equivalent to that abwe mentioned. Usually, they offer from one third the gross to one half the net prooeeds.— They aro at liberty to pay money or a portion of the orop as may be preferred by the parlies. Ill Freed people who have sufficient proper ty, or are so situated tbit thoy oan support #iem« selves and families, without making oontrads for their labor, hare the right to res fuse to make contracts and moat be protooted in this right; but in all other cases, [comprising the vast majority of tho freed pooplej it is absolutely neoeisary that they make contracts, to ensnre a supply of food and escape starvation the coming year. It is also Impera tively nsoesiary that contracts bo made in time, to prepare'for raising orops tho ensuring season, Freed people have the right to se’eot their own employers; but ff they continue to neglect or re fuse to make oontraets then, on and after Janu ary 10th, I860, officers and agents of the Bureiu will havo the right, and it shall be their duty to make contrsosfor them, in all oases where em- >loyers offer good wages and kind treatment, un- ess the treed people belong to the class abo\e exooptod, or can show that they can obtain better terms. Contracts so made shall be so binding on both parties, as though made with the full con sent or the freed people. IY. Article II, of tha amendments to tl*p Constitution of the United States, gives the people tho right to bear arms, and states that this bright ahull not be Infringed." Any person, white or black, may be disarmed if oonvictcd of tnakiog sn improper and dangerous use of weapons; bat. no military or civil.officer has (lie right or authority to disarm any clans of people, thereby pfaejng them at tho mercy of others.

Great Destruction Among the Vessels—Another Break Up of the Ice Expected—Precautions Being Taken by the Underwriters, Harbor Masters, fcc. St. Louis, Dec. 18, 1865. The sceno of tpe toe djswtpr pn tfio river yesterday was a most excitinjone. The Ievpe was a perfect promenade of all kinds of peo ple, gazing at and commenting upon the awful scene of smashed and sunken steamers which tho ice gorge of Saturday evening had caught and crumbed in its relentless grip. Tho river wan frozen solid, and huge chunks of ice, five inchos thick, wore piled up in sbapeloss masses around the doomed steamers, fiatboats and broken wharves. A group of four boats, tight ly jammed together and so damaged that it is not easy to distinguish one from another, lip in the stream, on the verge of the channel. All the others are crushed againgst the bank— some broken fairly in the middle ; other with their bows stove in, pilot houses, upper decks and chimneys carriod away. The vessels injured moro or less aro as fol lows: Attondod witfi the following symptoms; — Indisposition to Kxer^loq, Loss of Power, Logs oi Memory, Difficulty of Breathing, Ge neral Weakness Horror of Disease, Weak Norves, Trembling.

The records of tho Insane Asylums, and the melancholy deaths by Consumption, bear ample witness to the truth of these assertions.
