This Finishing Touch Yet to be Applied
to the War. —All regular warfare has ceas
ed. The armies of rebellion are dispersed,
and the belligerent power of the Confederacy
has departed with all its other functions.—
There are yet scattered through the Southern
States, however, roving bands of guerrilla®,
who are preying alike upon friend and foe,
if, indeed, they have any friends among the
inhabitants of the soil, who must necessarily
be the greatest sufferers by their depreda
tions.
The finishing touch in the winding up of
the war must l>e the extermination of these
pests. The way to finish, them is to declare
them outlaws, and treat them as such where
ever found. They can no longer be regarded
in any other light than ns highwaymen and
brigands. Brigandage is a Spanish and Italian
Institution, which may be suffered to exist
in Mexico and portions of the old world,
but cannot flourish in this country. The sol
diers of the guerilla chief Mosby deserted
him, but Mosby bimseif declines to surrend
er. It is said that General Hancock had ord
ers to give him one hour iu which to surrend
er, and if he refused, to declare him outlaw
ed, and to deal out to him the penalty of out
lawry. His own men are now hunting him
for a reward.
This order Is undoubtedly an indication of
the course the government intends to pursue
towards all the rest of the guerillas, and it is
a proper and most effective way to get rid of
them. Michler and his band of outlaws are
In this region still, or were, up to the middle
of last month, when they made a raid upon
DaufUskie Island, robbing, burning and mur
d%ing. A like band of outlaws lately tore
up the railroad at the very gates of Charles
ton. We look to see these fellows captured
shortly by some of Gen. Gillmore's troops,
and hanged to the nearest trees.
SxVannah Theatre—Benefit of Miss
Florence La Fond. —We are highly pleased
to learn that this excellent actress and esti
mable lady, will be the recipient of a benefit
on Tuesday evening next. We have no doubt
that it will be one in reality, and such a one
as will convince her of the firm hold she has
upon the affections of the public. Miss La
Fond has, by her quiet, unostentatious and
lady-like demeanour, on and off the stage,
won for herself hosts of friends she docs not
dream of, who are anxiously awaiting au op
portunity to testify their heartfelt apprecia
tion of her merit. Miss La Fond has been
called upon during the season to sustain
most difficult and fatiguing characters, lor
which her physique and general style of acting
are hot fitted, nor have they brought her
true powers in her own line into requisition ;
but she lias nevertheless invariably acquitted
herself admirably, and has beeome a univer
sal favorite. She will present the far-famed
play of “The French Spy” with, all the ori
ginal-music, combats, etc., and an entirely
new and excellent afterpiece. We bespeak
for her the largest and most brilliant oration

Thieves at VVoek.— -'Last night the police
picked up on the pavement south-east comer
of Whitaker and Broughton streets, at the
store of Air. I. Epstein, a brace and bit. The
parties who were using the burglarious tools,
upon hearing the approach of the police,
had stopped their work on the store of Mr!
Epstein and fled. • A stftre on Liberty street
was also visited by burglars, but they were
driven off. These depredations occurred
prior to 10 o’clock in the night. Our city,
it appears, is infested with daugerous charac
ters, and all should keep on the alert for
thieves and burglars.

THE DAY OF HUMILIATION AND FEATER CHANGED
FROM MAY 25 TO JUNE 1.
Whereas, by my proclamation of the 25th
instant, Thursday, the 26th day of next
month, was recommended as a day for special
humiliation and prayer in consequfcce of the
assassination of Abraham Lincoln, late Presi

attention has been called to the fact that the
day aforesaid is sacred to large numbers of
Christians as one of rejoicing lor the ascen

known that L Andrew Johnson, President of
the united States, do hereby suggest that

The French Mission and Mr. Jm. Gordon
Bennett.
The New York Herald thus speaks with
reference to the report that James Gordon
Bennett, th% Editor and Proprietor of the
Herald, was offered the French Mission by
Mr. Liacolif*-.
“The offer of the French mission by the
late President Lincoln to Mr. James Gordon
Bennett, and his declination of the offer up
on the ground that he could serve the coun
try better at Lome, have been the subject of
comment in all the leading journals of this
country and of Europe, the Herald alone ex
cepted, and the topic of gossip and discus
sion in the sa/ons of New York, Paris and
London—the world's three capitals—and of
society everywhere that the news has reach
ed. We have not vet heard from India,
China and Japan; but we presume that the
papers and the courtiers of those remote re
gions are equally engrossed iu this absorbing
nit ot intormation. Judging from the sensa
tion which the report has caused at home
and abioad, Mr. Bennett will soon have the
pleasure of beiug carefully canvassed 'at tire
extremest points to which civilization ex
tends, and a letter or newspaper finds its
way.
The journals and the gossips of course
take variously diverse views of the offer and
of the declination. Some contend that the
offer was never made at ail. Others that it
was made to some other person of the same
name of whom the world nevy heard be
fore. Some that it was made and accepted.
Others that it was made and an answer with
held. Some that the declination was from
tliis motive. Others that the declination was
from that motive. Thus the most contradic
tory opinions, amusing to Mr. Bennett not
less for their variety than for their proluudi
ty, have been solemnly expressed iu edito
rials, flippantly expressed in correspc ndence,
and wittily or charmingly expressed in the
salonx of the three capitals. In the mean
time the Hgrald, which must be conceded to
have the best sources of information upon
tuis subject, has said nothing whatever about
it. A brief editorial from tiie pen of our old
and tried antagonist, Mr. Horace Greeley—
the author of the “American Conflict,” and
the rival of the Emperor Napoleoft and his
“Life ot Caesar”—has been transferred to our
news columns without remark or endorse
ment, merely to allow our readers to see
wlial was said of an event so much talked
about and written about. Beyond this, which
was due to our readers as a matter of news,
we have maintained a persistent silence.
The time to break that silence has not yet
arrived, but it will arrive shortly. The offer
of the French mission was one of the last
acts of the great and good man who has
been taken from us, and it will remain as
part of his history and of the history of the
country. At the proper time the public will
be furnished with all the particulars of the
offer and of the declination, with the full
correspondence upon both sides. It is true,
as has already been suggested by the tenor of
this article, that the offer of the French mis
sion was made bv President Lincoln to Mr.
James Gordon. Bennett, the editor of this
journal; and it is also true, as stated by Mr.
Horace Greeley, that the offer was respect
fully declined by Mr. Bennett, on the ground
that at this great crisis he could serve the
country better here than in Paris. Tins much
Mr. Bennett is willing to have stated in order
to gratify and satisfy those who have devot
ed so much time and attention to the thor
ough elucidation of the subject. But for the
paiticulars and the correspondence the jour
nals and the gossips will be obliged to wait
a little longer. It is certain that the excep
tional compliment to an editor, tQ which Mr.
Greeley called especial attention, was by no
means unappreciated in the spirit in which
it was intended.”
Among the two-thousand persons that at
tended the funeral of Richard Cobden, there
was only one peer. One minister, Mr. Ad

other prominent* members of the House of

Those in each thousand yards could be con

indications of the breaking us of the ice.—
That would send the ice down river and

A California editor, on the occasion of the
New Year, sent the following “bulletin to bis
subscribers: ” ‘ ‘My paper enters on iis sixth

There i9 anew system of instruction in
France, by which people learn to read -in a
remarkably short spare of time. It is called
the LeAdrian system, from Leflore, the iu
ventor. Twenty-four soldiers who never
knew a letter of the alphabet learned to read
fluently in less than a month, and one of
them read at the end of the tenth lesson.
“Don’t submit to be crowded off the pave

have, but we would like to know what the

The papers are making appeals in behalf
of the birds. There is a robin that sings by
our window each morning, the destruction
of which would be a gross outrage. It sings
sweetest wben the day is dreariest, as if it
were trying to inculcate a lesson of patience
and hope. We say spare the birds.
The new three cent piece is a very pretty
coin. It is composed of nickel, and is al
most the same color, as our silver coin. On
the face there is a head of the Goddess of
Liberty, surrounded with the words “United

“three” in Roman letters, enclosed in au
olivg wreath. ,
In Saratoga, Rev. Mr. Beecher expelled a

permitted to sleep under his roof.

Dick Turner, the former turnkey of Libby,
is now imprisoned there, and is in the most
abject fear and trepidation. Some of his

The New York Sunday Times says a good
word for the physical health of the children.
Os course lie alludes to New York when he

is arrived at that out of every one hundred

this city, ninety-nine pounds are adulterated

A pupil in England eluded punishment by
running out of school, when the teacher,
somewhat vexed, promised another scholar a
reward of a shilling if he would bring the
runaway back to the schoollicuse; but be
fore this was accomplished, the boy who had
escaped heard of the ofleied reward, and
sent word to the teacher that he would “ re
turn anil take the licking for sixpence cash
down.” Boys are pretty much alike all the
world over.
The House of Assembly of Prince Ed
wards Island has rejected the plan tor a Can
adian Confederation by a majority approach
ing to unanimity. All the maritime provinces
have treated the proposal of the Quebec Con
ference with great coolness; and the pros
pect of a closer union upon the foundation
laid by them is now nearly hidden in a down
east fog.
Os our departed President and of the lega
cy he left, we may say with Byron:
They never fail who die
In a great cause. The block may soak their gore;
Their heads may sodden lu the sun : their limbs
Be st-ung to city gates and castle walls—
But still their spirit walks abroad. Though vears
Elapse, and others shaie as dark a doom,
They but augment the deep and •weeping thoughts
YVhizh overpower all others, and conduct
The world at last to freedom.

No. 53. /
Hereafter, no private buildings, except such flt> are
abandoned op confiscable, will be used tor military or
Government purposes within this Department. It is
believed that there are, at all the Military Posts, suffi
cient public buildings and abandoned or confiscable
private ones, to answer all the needs of the service.
The use of buildings owned by loyal persons subjects
the Government to claims for rent, aud thus becomes
au unjustifiable source of expense.
Each Post aud District Commander will forthwith
report to these Headquarters, all buildings used by
himseif or the officers of his command, with full state
ments of the location and size of such buildings, the
number of rooms in each and the name of the owner
or owners, with such information as he can obtain as
to their residence and loyalty or disloyalty.
