Speko.— In reply to a ietter of the Secretary of Wan Mr. Speed decides .• First —That the rebel officers who surrendered to Gen. Grant have no homes in.loyal States, and have no right to come to places where their homes were prior to going into the rebellion. Second— That persons in the civil service of the reliel lion, or who have otherwise given it support, comfort and aid, and were residents of rcliel territory, have no right to return to Wash ington under that stipulation. Third —Hebei officers certainly have no right to be wearing their uniforms in any of the loyal States. '1 tie Attorney General adds that such rebel officers having done wrong in coming into the loyal States, arc hut milling insult to in jury in wearing their uniforms; tint they have as much right to wear the traitor’s flag through the streets of a loyal city as to wear tne traitors garb; and that the stipulation of surrender permits no such thing, ami the wearing ot such uniform is an act of hostili ty against the government. President Lincoln lias a verv high opinion o£the llev. Henry Ward Beecher. In speak ing of him recently, he remarked that he considered, Mr. B. the greatest man, all thiugsconsidered, in the country. To prove his position, lie referred particularly to the success Mr. B. met with everywhere in his reccut visit to Englaud; aud the great and favorable change in the seutiments of the British people towards us which crowned •his efforts. LATESf FROM AIOI'STA. Dates to May 2d. The Government Stores Sacked by Lee’s and Johnston’s Soldiers. Private Houses * Pillaged. GO. BEll REGARD'S PRIVATE BAGGAGE DESTROYED. Several Persons Killed. A CALL. FOR A CONVENTION. The Confederate Government Powerless for Help or Protection. (From the Augusta Constitutionalist, 2d iust ) The Aliuir of Yesterday. A most disgraceful affair of mob violence transpired on yesterday morning, which, we trust, for tlie honor of our soldiers and the lair fame of the city, will never be repeated. The sacking of the Government stores would have been proper enough had there been anything like fairness iu the plunder of the property. As it was, a most unequal distribution was made of the spoils, and the parties engaged iu the action have done great injury to their fellow soldiers who have yet to arrive. We do not believe that many of those im plicated were of Lee’s or Johnston's armies, or, if so, tliey were instigated by shameless parties who have avoided the front of battle. This fact is made manifest, by the alacrity with which the truly brave men rallied around General Wright and Colonel Fiser, who addressed the crowd iu a thrilling and earnest manner. To these noble gentlemen and distinguished soldiers our people owe a deep debt of gratitude. The most heinous part of the affair was in the pillage of Messrs, Neal & Whitlock’s to bacco store. The stock of these gentlemen was of private ownership, and should have been respited. We know that some twen ty boxes ot tobacco stored in their establish ment belonged to a gentleman whose whole fortune had been placed at the disposal of the Government, and who resolutely refused to sell his bonds, lest by so doing, bis example should be followed by those less patriotic than himself. The little all that he had saved is now gone, aud the pilferers have-the poor satisfaction of knowing that they have beg gared a man who gave his son and property l'or their benefit. Let there be no destruction of private pro perty. R, is unmanly and cowardly. No true defender of his country should tarnish the glorious record ol the past four years by a moment's rashness and for so insignificant u profit. We understand that Augusta Bolder, of this place, was shot and killed on the bridge near the factory. A man on board one of the guuboats was killed for insuboidination. We have no heart to enter into the par ticulars of this mortifying event, and dismiss it with the brief mention made above. Gen. Bkacheqakd.— This chivalric and de voted hero was one of the sufferers of yes terday, having had his private baggage de molished while at the depot. Shame ! Shame!! [From the Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel, April £3.; TO THE RESCUE. A Convention. Georgians! the time has come for action ; prompt, decisive actiou. Awake, in this hour of gloom and despondency. Let us show ourselves equal to the momentous crisis in which we tiud ourselves to day. The Confederate Government, it is now plain, is impotent to help or protect us.— There is no alternative but to look and work for our own interest, and tbe welfare of our posterity. Now is the time to act! Arise, be up and doing ! Virginia and North Carolina aremoving. Shall the free and sovereign people of Geor gia, in this awful and momentous hour, re main silent, when a dark and bloody state of anarchy is staring us in the face ? Now is the time ! This the hour ! Citizens of Georgia, act while the armistice continues! Who can picture the terrible condition of our State if it. is allowed to expire without de cisive steps being taken on our part, % Listen not to the vain and delusive rumors of foreign intervention and recognition. They are false and have deceived us long enough. .- Gkn. Lee— that renowned hero —is said to favor peace, and has stated that a further effusion of blood is useless. Fighting now is murder premeditated. Negotiation must do the work. Next Tuesday, the 2d of May, is a public day all over the State. Let meetings be held in every county, and let the people speak out in thunder tones. Gov. Brown sought a Convention, but the’ foresight of our Legis lature was such, as to refuse to submit this question to tbe people—where it alone be longs. Nosv let the people move, and save the commonwealth from a state of anarchy and barbarian warfare. Next Tuesday, then let there be a general outpouring of the sentiment of the sentiment of the people throughout the State, calling upon the Governor, through the Legislature for a Convention, or for a convention of the people themselves, free from restraint or delay. Rally Georgians! the crisis is fraught with momentous consequences! A Noble Woman. —There is now living in Charleston, (on the comer of Van Horst and St. Philip’s streets, we think), a maiden lady—B4 years of age,—Miss Ramsey. She is a grand-daughter of Henry Laurens, and, is connected with the Pinckney and Rut ledge families. This lady is the owner of the table on which The Declaration of Independence was signed. When the ordinance of secession was passed in the city of Charleston, by the State of South Carolina, every possible ef fort was made to obtain this table on which to sign that foul and fatal (Teed. Miss Ram sey not only indignantly refused to have it taken from her house hut threatened to shoot, with own hand, the miscreant who should attempt to remove it. We were told these fads by a gentleman on whose veracity* we most fully rely.—AW .'South. VIEWS OF GEff. ROB’T E. LEE. HIS PROMISE TO DRAW HIS SWORD II DE FEICE OF VIRGINIA AI.OYE. The Doctrine of Slates Rights Surrendered with the War. The South Anxious for Peace Two Years Ago. A correspondent of the New York Herald having sought and obtained au interview with Gen. Robert E. Lee iu Richmond, thus reports the General’s views as expressed in conversation: OF.N. LRK, VIRGINIA AND TIIE REBELLION. The General's attention was directed to his written aud spoken determination to draw his sword in defence only ot his native State, and tlie inquiry was raised as to 'what he considered tlie defence of Virginia, and what degree of deliberation he had given to that expression. He stated that, as a firm and honest believer in the doctrine of State rights, he had considered his allegiance due primari ly to the State iu which he was born and where lie. had already resided. And; al though he was not an advocate of secession at Ihe outset, wlien Virginia seceded he hon estly believed it bis duty to abide her fortune. He opposed secession to the last, foreseeing the ruin it was sure to entail. But when the State withdrew from the Union lie had no. resourse, in his views of honor and patrio tism, but to abide her. fortunes. lie went with her. intending to remain merely a pri vate citizen. When he resigned his commis sion in the United States army he had no in tention of taking up arms in any other ser vice, and least of all in a service antagonistic to the United States. His State, however, called for him, and, entertaining tlie fixed principles he did of State sovereignty, he had no alternative but to accept the service to which he was called. When he made use of the declarations that have, been so extensively quoted of late, he had accepted only a commission from Vir ginia. Subsequently, when Virginia attached herself to the Southern Confederacy, the same political impressions impelled him to follow' her, and when he accepted service under the rebel government lie did so on the principle that lie was defending his native State. And yet, by the act of accepting such service he was liound in honor to serve in any part, of the confederacy where he might be called, without reference to State lines; aad the reconciliation with his former avowal, if any were necessary, was found in the fact that Virginia, standing or falling with the other Southern States, in defending them all he was defending the oue to which he considered his allegiance primarily due. THE SIGNIFICANCE OF UIS SURRENDER. As the effect of his surrender, be was free to say it was a severe blow to the South, hut not a crushing blow. It w’as of military, not political significance. I asked, w r as not that surrender a virtual surrender of the doctrine of State lights. “By no means,” the General leplied. When the South shall he wholly subdued there will then undenia bly be a surrender ot that doctrine. But the surrender of a single army is simply a mil itary necessity. The army of Northern Vir ginia was surrendered because further resis tance on its part would only entail a use less sacrifice of life; But that army was merely a part of the force of the South.— When the South shall be forced to surrender all its forces, and return to the Union, it indisputably,by that act,surrenders its favor ite doctrine of secession. That principle will then he settled by military power.” STATE RIGHTS.' On this question of State sovreignty the General contends that there exists a legiti mate casus belli. ’* In the convention that formed the organic , law of the land, the question of defining the relative-powers of the States, and their relation to the general government, was raised, but after much dis cussion was dropped and left unsettled. It has remained so unsettled until the present time, This war is destined to set it at rest. It is unfortunate that it was not settled at the outset, but as it was not settled then, and had to be settled at sometime, the war raised on this issue cannot be considered treason. If the South is forced to submission in this contest, it of course, can ouly be looked upon as the triumph of federal power over State rights, and the forced annihilation of the latter. THE SOUTH ANXtOUS FOR PEACE TW'O YEARS AGO. With reference to the war in the abstract, the General declared it as liis honest belief, that peace was practicable two years ago," and has been practicable from, that time to the present day whenever the General Gov ernment should see fit to seek it, giving any reasonable chance for the country to ‘escape the consequences which the. exasperated North seemed determined to Impose. The South lias, during all this time, been ready and anxious lor peace. They have been looking for some word or expression of com promise or conciliation from the North upon which they might base a return to the ; Union. They were not prepared, nor are they yet, to come and beg for terms; but they were ready to accent any fair aud honorable terms, their own political views being considered. .. The question of slavery did not lay in the way at all. The best men in the South have long beeu auxious to do away with this in stitution, and were quite willing to-day to 6co it abolished. They consider slavery for ever dead. But with - them, in relation to this subject, the -question has ever been, ‘“What will you do with the freed people?” That is the serious question to-day, and one that cannot he winked at. It must be met practically and treated intelligently. The negroes must he disposed of, and, if their disposition can he marked out, the matter of freeing them is at once settled. But unless sotnc humane course is adopted, based on wisdom and Christian principles, you do a gross wrong and injustice to the whole ne gro race in setting them free. And it is only this consideration that has led the wisdom, intelligence and Christianity of the South to support and defend the institution tip to this time. KXI’.ILSI.ITION SCHEME. And now that they have lost in the issue they feel that they have no interest, left in this country. It is the opinion of General Lee that unless moderation and liberality he exercised towards them the country will, lose its best people. Already he says t hey are seeking to expatriate themselves, and numerous schemes are started lo go to Mexico, to Brazil, to Canada, to France or elsewhere. He is called upon frequently to discountenance and suppress such under takings. The couutry needs these young men. They are its bone and sinew, its in telligence and enterprise, its hope for the future, and wisdom demands that no effort he spared to keep them in the country and pacify them. DIRECTORY.
