Tao New York Express, In an article on the “ Capabilities of the South,” utters the following acuUmcnt: “If tho North," It says, "will be content with non-lnt«rfbrence with Southern so ciety—if it will let tho people, white and black, act in their own Interest*—If it ceases all politi- ! cal proselyting, it will soon find labor more set tled, education mors diffused, agricultural pros perity more general, and tho country more pros | perous." Never was truth more timely uttered, tor the reverse of all this is unhappily the case, i Tho North, or rather that political party in the | North, which now governs both North and South, will not let the latter alone—to take care ot its own interests. It Is even now laboring with i to make political proselytes, rather than promo- . ting, as it should do, tho material interests ol a ravaged land, thereby advancing the prosperity • of tho whole country. The efforts of this radi cal party in the North, are now being zealously directed to secure tho treedmen’s votes, rather I than to promote their eduration and Impress : upon them the necessity of labor lest they perish by the way. It Is rather directed to array the , black against tho white man, his former owner, , than to promote good will between the two races. | Into the political cauldron the Ircedman is to be ■ harried that he may emerge therefrom, on the ’ day of election, seething hot with real to uphold by his vote the radical party. Tho South is not ( to be let alone to take care of her own interests. ; With all her iron, and coal, and slato, and mar- 1 ble; with all her lead, silver, and gold mines; with all her water power and fertile soil; enough to constitute her the greatest producing country on tho American continent, variety of produc tions considered, and to make her, by well-di rected labor and the use of capital, capable in a few years of attaining all her former prosperity and contributing largely to tho support of the government; she will not be let alone, but must pay tribute to a parti/ in tho North at the hazard of her every important interest, and at the risk of converting into barbarism a race which they de sire to use for political purposes, that they may retain political power. He, however, “ who dis poses while men proposes,” and wno, in His wisdom, has ordained tho freedom of the slave, will surely save tho South and the dependent race that has just been freed, from the fate of becoming victims to political demagogues and office-hunting politicians. Wo lay this Hops to our heart, aud slinll ehcrish it there, till “ the good time cometh.” memorial Ceremonies. The Newbem (N. C.) Journal states that the carrying out of the programme of the ‘‘Memorial Association" at that place on Thursday, the 2d instant, wss, as regarded a procession, prohibited by the military. A large concourse, however, of citizens assembled at the cemetery to witness the laying of the corner-stono of the vault pre pared to receive the Confederate doad. Tbo ceremonies, says that journal, “ were imposing and appropriate; the prayer by the Itev. Mr. Yaas was a noble one; the ode sung by a few of the ladies and gentlemen was solemn, yet touchingly beautiful; the oration was chaste, admirably written, and delivered in a style well suited to the occasion. “ At the close of the oration, tho persons se lected descended into the vault, and deposited within the cemented pillar the following arti cles : A copy of the Holy Bible; first Confede rate flag; second Confederate flag; Confederate battle-flag; photographs of Davis, Leo, and I„l.—..— . ii „r ..oi :— rut. the officers of tho Ladles’ Memorial Association the names of the Mayor and City Council; Con federate money of all denominations; a Mexican dollar contributed by a Confederate soldier army and navy buttons; a United States silver half dollar.. a-lffiiV Tn&ntffo'WH8 was capped, and securely cemented, tho doxol ogy was sung, tho benediction was pronounced, and the large and attentive crowd retired from the scene.” All over the South similar ceremonies mark tho appreciation of our people for their Confed erate dead. In but few instances have tho mill tary authorities, much to their credit be it writ ten, interfered in any manner to prevent tho mournful ceremonies attending tho discharge so solemn aduty. What though these dead were arrayed in life with arms in their hands to de fend what they esteemed to be their dearest priv ileges and rights, have they not expiated with their lives, what may be esteemed by tho victors in the contest .their error or their crime; and may not their countrymen, and countrywomen their widows, sisters, and brothers, mourn over their sad fate, and deck their graves with flow era, mementoes of the past? Christian sympa thy does not deny, nor does enlightened patriot ism prohibit it. Loyalty to the existing govern ment is not violated in the discharge of these solemn rites; nor is disrespect, in the slightest degree, shown to that flag which now waves in triumph over the wide bounds of the American Republic. Wo ore gratified at being able to state, that iu this vicinity the solemn ceremonies referred to are progressing with no interference from the military authorities of this district, to prevent or restrict them. This district is for tunate in having as its chief commander a sol dier and gentleman, who, while executing with fidelity to the government the high trust reposed in him, docs not think it proper to interfere with the sad tribute which a vanquished people pay to their valiant dead. Personal, Wo had the pleasure of a visit yesterdny from Mr. T. O. Jacob, of the Monroe Ailcertiser, a sprightly weekly paper published at Forsyth, in that county. Mr. Jacob will remain in our city for a day or two, aud will call upon our mer chants and business men for the purpose of pre senting the claims of the Ailcertiser as an adver tising medium to them. We cordially commend both the gentleman and his journal tp them. The location of the latter, and its circulation, render it valuable as an advertising sheet, while as a family paper it Is u most excellent one. Hunnlng lo Seed. There is no mistake about it—the signs indi cate that the Rndical party North is getting in a bad way. The thousands of unemployed me chanics in every city and town, tho stoppage of hundreds of factories, the destruction of the shipping interests, and the oppressive and crush ing taxation on labor and industry while bloated and ill-gained wenlth goes free—these, the work of Rndical legislation aud Radical policy, are doing the business lor the party, and will ulti mately bury it beyond the hope of resurrection. We would respectfully suggest to Mr. Wilson and his missionary co-laborers now in the Ter ritories, that they had better hurry home; their services ure needed more In that direction than this. As to those Southern men who, under the mistake that the party is to endure forever, are rushing frantically into its meretricious embrace, they would do well to call a halt occasionally, and go to thiukiug a little—their new-born zeal is ouly likely to lead to disappointment—yea, to political death. The Cemetery at Raleigh.—There are now buried in the memorial cemetery at Ral eigh, N. 0., three hundred and twelve North Caroliuians, forty-six South Carolinians, forty- four Georgians, eight Alabamians, eight Missis- sippians, four Virginians, two Floridians, two Tenuesseana, one Texan, one Louisianian, one Arkansian, three Confederate States navy men, and one hundred and six unknown dead.— Total, flyo hundred and thirty-eight [roa taa nrrm.ua»Koa».l Ii*t No* (« Wrong,or Sanction VTroac, Through Four of Confiscation. Mr. Enrron—I was recently favor*!) by tho Hon. Robert C. Bchenck, of Ohio, with a copy of the late speech ot Hon. Thad. Stevens, of Penn sylvania, on confiscation and other matters; and having read it carefully, and considered it in all it* bearings, I am constrained to say that his de signs and policy in relbiencc to tho Boutlioro people, ought not to receive the sanction of tho American people. In saying this much, I am but reflecting tho sentlmenta of every true Union man Sonth. By this, I do not mean Union Leagues, who have divested thomselves of their liberty, by secretly subscribing to an oath to support the edicts, and obey tho calls, of the Republican Congressional Executive Commlttco, or of a grand council of a secret political order ot Washington; for it seems to me, that this Union League party, in their "iwM Aunt for office," have lost sight ol the Union under the Constitution, and havo by their new affiliations, become mere office seeking partisans, and allies of n class of men, whose purposo is to hold power, and whose governing principles de mand the overthrow of the Constitution. Tho true Union men ot tho nation, as I under stand them, have nover yet given their sanction either lo tho suicidal and disorganizing doctrine of secession, or the equally pernicious and dan gerous doctrine of tho higher-law abolition party. No. They were true to tho Union under tho Constitution during tho long, long night of re bellion, anxiously hoping and praying for the triumph of conservative wisdom; and that mad dened and crazy lenders, both North and South should return to their senses, and again rcaumo their places in society as good, law-abiding citi zens—chastened and made better by disappoint ment in visionary and impracticable schemes. When tho rebellion collapsed, and the war closed by the surrender of the Confederate army, we felt that punishment enough had fallen on the poor deluded men o( the South. Their hearth stones desolate, their fields laid waste, their towns aud cities in ashes, their estates wasted; their millions of property in slaves taken lrom them, their money exhausted, and nothing left but fenceless, uncultivated, and houseless (arms aud plantations; without means to repair, or to hire labor to till them. And yet Mr. Stvvens is not satisfied. Further confiscation aDd spolia tion is demanded to satisfy the revengeful, dark and malignant promptings of the unchristian spirit of an old, infirm, but talented and danger ous man Not satisfied with the blasted hopes and wrecked fortunes of deluded secessionists—not satisfied with the infinite mischief he has done the black man in our midst, by the loo great and sudden change in his relations with tbo white man; more, and still more is demanded. More property must be seized, and not only this—i deadly antagonism is to bo engendered between tbe laces; and the black man Is encouraged to plunder the white man of his “jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment;" and to go forth full-handed, after spoiling tho whites of their possessions. Not satisfied with the already developed evil fruits of the “ higher law ” doc trine, he foreshadows and encourages tbe lurther “ plagues of intestine wars”—race against raco in deadly conflict. Can he by such egregious folly expect to restore peace, re-union, and prosperity, to our now distracted country? Does he look upon the measures and policy he advocates ns refining process, by which the heterogeneous and incongruous elements of society, can be amalga mated and come lorth homogeneous ? And Is he not ignoring the old constitution, and trampling it under foot, that ho may substitute another, more in conformity with tho higher law doc trines, which drove our hot-headed Southerners uu euu iu pumsuuiL-m. oi seovssiuuisis r ii sucu are his views and purposes—if more punishment has yet to he inflicted—if more property has yet to be taken—if thefts and robberies are lo bo en couraged—if tho plagues ot intestine wars, are to be re-cnactcd—if race must yet war against sink, and tho mighty waters of the ocean close over us forever. This horrible programme of Mr. Slovens cau surely never prevail. Thcenligbtened and intel ligent North can never sanction propositions so monstrous; aud even Iho black man of the South, unlettered as be is, will not hesitate to re buke tho author of such stupendous contempla ted mischief. Ruin, final, irretrievable ruin to our whole conn try, will ensuo from the adoption ol his measures, and I cannot closo this letter without warning our people, North and South, black and white, to rebuke and shun these doctrines and purposes of tho Republican party, as enunciated and held forth by their great leader, the Hon. Thnddeus Stevens, as they would the scourge of pestilence or tho withering blasts of a deadly sirocco. Here it wns my purposo to close this commit mention, but having just received a copy of the i Daily Opinion," containing an article from “A Union Man," I beg your further Indul geuee while I briefly notice said article. The writer begins by speaking of me as “ formerly a Union man." 1 was once recognized ns a Union man. Then I was opposed not only to secession but was equally opposed to the higher law doc trine of tho abolition party, and I am not now conscious ol having undergone any chango of sentiment. I then opposed all higher law doc trines which threatened the integrity of the Union. I ain equally opposed to them yet. Having undergone no change ol sentiment, I feel no dishonor in being applauded by those who, in the delirium ol tho secession mania, threatened me with banishment, or with a halter. Nor do I consider them dishonored In acknowl edging nu error. 1 can forgivo them. They knew not what they were doing. They are now convalescent, and are willing to do me justice, aud lo make amends for tho past. 1 have never deceived them. They wanted me to go witli them out of the Union. I refused, telllug them they were going the wrong road. They have found by sad experience that I told them tbe truth, and are willing to do me justice. When they were wrong, I opposed them; when they are right, I am with them Higher law abolitionism was wrong, and I opposed it. It is yet persisting in wrong,^ud 1 yet oppose It. The Union, under tho Constitution, made us prosperous and happy. Opposing the Union by secession, involved us in a war and desolation. A return lo tho Union, under the Constitution, even with slavery abolished, would Bgain make us prosperous aud happy. The Republican party, os I understand them, are opposed to the restoration ol tho Constitutional Union; and consequently, they will have to do without my vote, or my support. The writer alludes to “ tho party that saved the Union.” I do not know ol any party which wus exclusively engaged in saving the Union. Douglas men, Bell men, Lincoln men, Demo crats, Whigs, and Republicans, all engaged in opposing secession ; and their united efforts were successful in the suppression of rebellion. And yet the “higher law" abolition party claims all the honor—(of what? not of saving the Union) and the exclusive privilege of remod eling, aqd controline the powers of govern ment. Andrew Johnson was ali right with the radi cals when his powerful aid was necessary to hold rebellion in check. So was I right with those new-born disciples of the radical party during tho war; but now, because, like Johnson, I remain true to a Constitutional Union, 1 must be spoken of as “ formerly a Union man." I risked life, and reputation, and property, in opposing secession; and I shall not now cower, when threats of conflBcation are held over me by radical Union leagues. Yours truly, J A, Stewart, Mats Kwn. A oo*iut»r«m>EtrE of "the Albany Nmot writes that the fanners of Southwest Georgia, as far m ills observation goes, have planted abundantly of com, and that if the seasons prove favorable they will not only have enough for home supplies, hut a largo amount to export. Tub Netes learns that the planters have had excellent luck in getting a stand of cotton this year. They are now busily engaged in plowing and chopping it out. If no miafortunate bofal tho present crop, It will be one of the best in years. A negro man fired at one of the Savannah policeman on Monday night, the ball missed the party aimed at, but struck a negro woman, in flicting a mortal wound. The murderer was ar rested and committed to jail. The Savannah Notes Herald states that tho steam tug Hope was burned at Dawaon on Sun day morning last. Loss ten thousand dollars. No Insurance. Governor Jenkins has offered a reward of two hundred dollars for the apprehension and delivery to the Sheriff of Tattnall county, of Clement T. Bowln; who, sentenced to the Peni tentiary, recently broke jail. Said Bowln is about Ii feet 8 Inches high, light complexion,blue eyes, very quick spoken, weighs about 100 or 105 pounds. The Rome Commercial says: Already the wheat crop has been cut short from the immense quantity of rain that has fallen. The head Is very short, and the stalk turning yellow In many places. We muat hope lor the best, and not pre dict a failure too soon. Ksntueky—A clean sweep. By the article below, which we take lrom tho Louisville Courier ot tho 7th instant, It will be seen that tho Democrats have made a clean Bwcep In Kc-ntuoky—elected the entire congressional delegation. Radicalism, with all the efforts that havo been made, tho lavish ex penditure ot money, aud tho application of force, appear* to bo of slow growth In Kentucky. The Courier says: By the returns which wo publish this morn- lnir it will bo Been that tho Democracy havo carried every district in tho State, and by ma jorities largely exceeding. In proportion to tho vote cast, thoso given for Judgo Dnvnll last year. Nothing liko full returns are yet in from the Eighth and Ninth districts, where tho Radi cals claimed to havo most strength, and in which they confidently expected to elect their candidates, but enough is given to show that both Young and Adams havo beaten their com petitors. Saturday's work is ono of which Kentuckians mny well feel proud. Our State hna elected an unbroken Democratic delegation to Congress, and thus proves that she is the home of a peo ple who love liberty and are truo to tho Con stitution and the Government ot our fathers. Kentucky speaks with the concentrated voice of her sons her deep condemnation of the revo lutionary principles ol that party which, in enfranchising the negro, seeks to enslave white men. Henceforth let it bo understood tlmtneilhor Radicals nor disorganizers have any foothold in any part of our true and gallant old Com monwealth. The glory and honor of being the first, since the commencement of the cursed reign of radicalises, to send a united Democralic delegation to Washington to battle for the Con stitution belongs to our Stato. BY TELEGRAPH. HEW route ASSOCIATED PBtSS DUPATonss Court of Claims at Wm1i1«I»»b- Washington, May 0.—The Court of Claims U engaged in bearing cotton cases under tho law refunding cotton seized from loyalists. Ex- Senator Cowan is retained by Uio Government, and claims are vigorously resisted. In the case of a Quaker to-day the defense held that mere inaction did not establish a claim to reclama tion. Famine In Sonth Carolina. Tho Charleston Mercury ot the 8th contains reports from different portions oi tho State, set ting forth the distress and suffering among the peoplo for want of food. From these the desti tution is almost beyond conception. We copy two or three of the reports: Waterloo, Laurent District—There are in this smnll neighborhood upwards of three hundred persons, white and colored, without bread; among these are twenty-throe females, heads of families, representing ninety children. Lexington District—1 havo a list of poor, con sisting of old men unable to work, and widows with small children and no resources. These are now in a state of beggary and want. We are in tbe raided region, and one person is not able to assist another. Richland Diitrict—Including the burnt city of Columbia. I have on my list lour hundred and fifty nnraeo, representing one thousand six hun dred and seventy persons, most, if not all of whom most be feu from day to day by charity, or suffer. This list embraces both white and colored. We are in great and immediate want. Sandy Dun, Lexington Diitrict—There is great destitution in this section, both among white and colored. 1 know of twelve lamitles who are But tering for bread, and am certain there are at least as many moro. The list occupies some three columns in the Mercury, made up ot statements like tbe above. Another Indian Massacre.—The Indians seem to bo having things pretty much their own way. Tbe following is tbe latest from Arizona: On tho 2d of March, two teams belonging to residents of Lopos, returning from Prescott, in charge of two drivers, and accompanied by five men, were fired iuto with guns by a parly of about forty Apache Indians, and ono tnau killed. The scene of the casualty was about eight miles from Lopos, on the side of Date Creek. Two of the men were wounded, and they, with the two others who were unhurt, escaped. Tbe In dians destroyed part of tho harness of tho teams, rifled the wagons and run off tho stock, consist ing of eighteen mules and lour horses. About throe hours nfter the occurrence another train of wagonB came up, and being prepared, attempted to recover the stock. They followed them to a camp in the mountains, to the north ot the road, where they were charged by tho Indiantmnd re pulsed, and the Indians again made off with their entire booty. Internal Revenue Ratter*. Washington, May 9.—The Commissioner of Internal Revenue decided that receipts for mo ney borrowed on bonds require the same revenue stamps as promissory notes. The Comptroller of the Currency directs bank oxaminers not to re cognize such receipts with only two cent stamps.

POUNDS CLEAR BACON SIDES, The Injunction Case.—The correspondent ot tbo Charleston Courier, says, in reference to the injunction cases: It is whispered that four of tbo justices—Clif ford, Grier, Wayne and Nelson—will be against the motion ot the Attorney General to dismiss the bills. It may be surmised also that Justices Davis and Field, who have a political future be fore them, may also be unwilling to evade the question by a resort to technicality. If tho court refuse to dismiss the motion, then tho bills for an injunction will be entertained, and again tully argued, though perhaps not at tho present term. Found.—The Augusta Constitutionalist of the 9th says: Yesterday afternoon the body of Mr. Patrick Gray, who has been missing since Satur day last, was discovered by a fisherman, Mr. U. H. McDermon.in the river at Kirkpatrick’s bend, which is about a mile below tho bridge. Tho body, when found, was lying face downwards, and lmd drifted against the point of land. The coroner’s jury rendered a verdict that the deceas ed came to his death by drowning in tbo Savan nah river while laboring under temporary in sanity. Poland.—“ Tho news from Poland," says the Atenir National, " Is worse than ever, especially that which arrives from the provinces of Volliy- nla, Pndolia, and tho Ukraine, in which the *■ l -~ J — * * *'•» •*•*•*1# awvj, UnaiAfl w'llh Jll) of Poland proper tho post offleo confiscates all letters which are not addressed in tho Russian language, and the persons to whom thoy are ad dressed are fined in proportion to their presumed ability to pay." What a benign and merciful RuBsia8'mt^To rd ’ 9 frlend ’ lhe Cz&r 01 ““ Old Kaintuck.—Tbe Louisville Courier says, among tho other questions settled by the people ol Kentucky, last Saturday, at tbo polls, was that concerning the proscription of men for their an tecedents. Horeaftcr no ono is to bo banned merely because of bis action or sympathy with the Confederate cause during tho late calamitous war. Both wings ol the opposition insisted upon that test, and the peoplo of the State lmvo entered their protest by an overwhelming ma- Jority. Tennessee.—There is said to be some cxclto- ment in Tennessee, growing out of the report that Brownlow’s mclish aro to be sent to the West to give the Indians a taste of their prowess. Tliore Is no sort of doubt about the government having tli« right to send them there, and certain ly such unselfish loyalists will not Hesitate to go wherever the government thinks their services are most Ii ceded. Forney.—John W. Forney, in his speech to a colored delegation which waited upon him just before ho “sailed away to Bea,” said : “I.believe the day is coming, and that it is not ar distant, when, from the State or South Caro lina there will be In the halls of Congress a black man, abler than John C. Calhoun ever wns, and that there will go from the State of Kentucky, at leust as able a black man as Henry Clay.” Found It.—Quite a commotion was kicked up in Kansas City a few days ago, growing out of the report that the body of a child had been found in an out-of-the-way street of that flourish ing borough. The indefatigable coroner at once summoned a jury, and they, proceeding to the place indicated, dug up—a rag baby / Dreadful Burlesque on Marriage Cere mony.—George Francis Train, in a recent speech in New York, said; “Our modern marriage service should read thus: Clergyman—Will you take this brown stone front, this carriage and span, and these diamonds for thy wedded husband? Yes.— [Laughter.] Will you take this unpaid milliner’s bill, this high waterfall ot foreign Imir, these af fectations, accomplishments and feeble constitu tion for thy wedded wile? [Loud laughter.]— Yes. Then, what mammon lias joined together let the next best man run away with, so tlmt the first divorce court may tear them asunder. Texas.—General Griffin has issued an order forbidding ex-Confederates in Texus to sit on juries. The Houston Telegraph, says; The truth is, trial by jury in this State, either in civil or criminal coses* is now in the bauds ot euougt, Wimu'uierfiirtfM'&Cato'lv’liirilah’IidHiKlIir lake the test oath to make a grand Jury for a Cir cuit Court.

The day will be a public holiday in the city, and pre parations will ho made by tho Masons to enter tain 25,000 visiting brethren. President Johnson and General Grant havo oceupted invitations, and are expected. Accident at St. Loal*. St. Louis, May 9.—The derrick used in re moving tho walls of the Lindell Hotel gave way, precipitating four men from the fifth story. Two were killed. A meeting of master machinists, manufactu rers, and contractors passed stringent resolutions against the eight hour system. St. Loal* Item*. St. Louis, May 9.—The negroes held a meet ing here to-day, and demanded equal rights in the cars, public balls and tbe school fund. Capt. D. C. Coleman, who was provost mar shal here, has been sentenced to the penitentiary by court martiul. He brings action against Gen. Dodge, Becrctary Stanton, and others, for false imprisonment. Railroad Convention. Cleveland, May 9.—There was a Railroad Convention here to-day to consider tbo difficul ties connected with the frieghtingbusiness. Near ly all railroads in the country are represented.— The sessions arc secret. There was a collision on the Bellelontaine and Indianapolis road, by which two engineers and one fireman were killed, and two men in jured. Suicide of a Kentucky Senator. Louisville, May 9.—Hon. Elijah Hise, just elected to Congress from the Third District of Kentucky, committed suicide, leaving a note that tho stale of the country and advanced age induced him to seek refuge in death. The Castor Bean.—A Texus paper men tions that a gentleman of that State bus plant ed fifty acres iu castor beans and intends to manufacture the oil for the market. This plant grows no where so luxuriantly as in Southern Georgia and Florida, a tact which addresses itself to tho consideration of our planters, now that the cultivation of cotton 1ms ceased to be profitable. Significant.—There is a general cry by the laboring classes in all tho Northern and Western cities for bread and employment. The Boston Herald estimates that over two thousand men have been thrown out of employment by the closing of the bar-rooms iu that city, and at least five hundred stores iu the city proper, and East and South Boston, have a “to let” placed on the shutters. Hard Knot,—Among the curious things of the Exposition is a bar of iron about as long and as thick ns the pole of a carriage, tied in a knot, os though it were a ribbou, without a ves tige of crack or flaw, ond tbe visitor is assured that it was tied when cold. Impeachment Committee.—A private dis patch from Washington says the Impeachment Committee announce “that several important witnesses have bean called." A regard for com mon decency demands that this “ Committee ” be dissolved uud allowed to leave Washington Messrs. Johnson and McKutt, dry goods mer chants, of Cincinnati, havo been arrested on a charge of arson. A lew nights ago a fire was discovered in their store on Pearl street, and there was every indication ot an attempt at ar son. Thoy had a policy for $12,000. Kansas.—Thousands of cattle have died in Kansas, during the past winter, from exposure aud lack of proper lood. The mortality has been especially severe in the Southern part of the Stale. One company has lost twelve thou sand in two or three weeks. A 1 ERitiHi.E Blow.—A keg of powder ex ploded near Fort Leo, New Jersey, Tuesday, blowing a man named McCalley fifty feet into the air, and “ landed ” him into the river. He swam ashore, ami is still living. Closing the Polls.—The Supreme Court of Ohio has decided that the closing of the polls on election day, for the purpose of going to dinner or any other purpose, is a violation of law and vitiates the election. An Item.—All uioug the Truck of Shcrmau’e army in South Carolina, women ami children, black and white, are perishing for lood.
