Horrible Masacre of a Family atßailt Sfrinos, Ala. —We received intelligence last night of the most diabolical and revolting slaughter o( a whole family at Baily Springs, Ala., consisting of Mr. Wilson, two grand sons, sons of Judge Foster of this irtate, Mr Taylor, the overseer, his wife and two daughters, by four bushwhackers, a few days ago. They first placed-Mr. Wilson over'a fire to extort from his money, and afterwards took him to a spring to drown him, but the poor old man died before they got. him to the water. After tins they returned to the iiouse and shot Mr. Taylor, one of his daughters, aud one of the young Fosters, dead* Mrs. Taylor was shot, wounding her mortally. Also, her daughter through the shoulder, and the other young Foster in the arm. He feign ed death and thus escaped. The fiends were taken into the house by the family as an act of charity, as they supposed. The military are in pursuit of the murderers.— Nash Ilk Jjispatc)., ]2 th’ Important to Railway Travelers—The Ins have the Right of Way.— Those who have traveled in the cars or Who have been at the stations—aud who has not—h ive ob srnved the confusion incident to the meeting oi passeugers on the platforms and on the doors, one party trying to get out. and the other to get in. It must have occurred to many that this confusion might and ought to be avoided by regulation. It appears that at,the circuit, lately held at Waterloo, a de cision was given incidentally on the right of way among passengers. It was that passen gers in their egress from the car have the right of way, h reasonable diligence is used in exercising that right This decision will be regarded as just, lor it is clear that the places of those who leave eaunot be taken until they are permitted to go out; hence it is useless for new passengers to go in. The Buffalo Commercial Advertiser suggests that railroad companies might establish'rules in respect to this matter, which would serve the public and protect them from accident and plunder. It is to require passengers to enter by the forward door and leave’by the rear door. If this were accepted as a rule, the people would all be passing the same way, and those who came in could take seats vacated without a moment’s delav. [From the Philadelphia Evening Telegraph ] A Letter from John S4«ari J>I»IL The following letter from that most distin guished and accomplished friend of the Unit ed States, Mr. John Stuart Mill, was receiv ed a few days since b? a gentleman of this city. It was written in the course ot private correspondence, and not intended tor the public eye. but its spirit is so generous and sympathetic*, and its suggestions so wise, that we cannot refrain from laying it before our readers. Tbe illustrious author, we have no doubt, will forgive this breach of confidence when he shall see tlie use we have made of his words in enforcing, as we do elsewhere,, an important principle of public duty: “4s to tlxe mode of dealing with these great questions, it does not become a foreign er to advise those who know the exigencies of the case so much better than he does.—• But as so many of my countrymen arc vo lunteering advice to you at this crisis, per haps I may bo torgiven if I osier mine the contrary way. Every one is eagerly incul cating gentleness, and only gentleness, as if you had ahpwn any signs of a disposition to take a savage revenge. I have always been afraid of one thing only—that you would be too gentle. I should he sorry to see auy life taken utter the war is over (except those of the assassins), or any evil inflicted in mere vengeance; but one thing I hope will be con- sidered absolutely necessary, to break altogther_ the power of the slaveholding caste. Unless this is done, the abolition of slavery will be merely nominal If an aristocracy of ex-slaveholders remain masters of the State Legislatures, they will be effectually to nullify a great part of the result which has been so clearly bought by the blood of the tree States. and their dependants must be effectually outnumbered at places, which dan only be of- Xectea by the concession of full equality of jkrhticai to negroes aud by a large inr- ol settlers from the Norlh-both ! Of.them being made independent bv the ownership of land. With these things in ! addition to the Constitutional Amendment ! (Which will enable the Supreme Court to set i aside any State legislation tending to bring 1 back slavery in disguise), the causq of free ' dom is safe, and the opening words of the i Declaration of Independence will cease jo be a Teproach to the nation founded bv its uu- ' ihors. “I am, dear sir, yours very truly, “J.

Holden, By this arrival we are also placed in possession of tlie following highly important proclamation of Gov. W. W. Holden.'which we are enabled to give entire Whereas, By the Proclamation of Andrew Johnson, President of the LYiited States of America, dated May ;>9th, 1865, I have been appointed Provisional Governor of the State of North Carolina, with instructions to “pre scribe, at the earliest practicable period, sucli rules aud regulations as may be necessary and proper for convening a Convention, compos ed of delegates to and chosen by that portion oi the people of said State who are loyal to the United States, and no'others, for the pur pose of altering and amending the Constitu tion thereof; and with authority to exercise within the limits of said State all the power necessary and proper to enable such Joval peopU.of the State of North Carolina to re store said State to the Constitutional relations to tlie. Federal Government, and to present such a Republican form of State Government as will entitle the State to tlie guarantee of the United States thereof, and its people to protection by the United States against inva sion. insurrection, and domestic violence":— And W hereas, It is proper that tlie people of the State should be informed as far as may )>-, at tiiis time, of the measures that will be necessary to attain this end, so that they may be ready to oiler an intelligent and willing co-operation in the same And Whereas, It is also proper that tlie purposes of tlie Federal Government in rela tion to the people of tlie State should be made known, so that the loyal may receive assur ances of protection and encouragement, and the disloyal, if any there be, may know that the eye of authority is upon them, and that they will not be permitted wita Impunity to resist the laws or toVliskrrb the peace of so ciety v Now, therefore. I, William W. Holden, Provisional Governor as aforesaid, do pro claim and declare _ Ist. That a Convention of the people of North Carolina will be held, at as early a period as practicable, to be composed of the number of members to which ihe Counties are respectively entitled in the House of Commons of the State Legislature. No per son will be* a candidate for tlie Convention, and no person will vote for members to com pose it, who shall not previously thereto Jun e taken and subscribed the following oath, prescribed in the Proclamation of the Presi dent of tlie United States, dated May 20th, 1865: “I, , do solemnly swear or affirm, in presence of Almighty God, ilial I will hence forth faithfully support, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States and the Union of the States thereunder; and that I will in like manner abide by and faithfully support all laws and proclamations which have been made during the existing rebellion with reference to the emancipation of slaves. So help me God.’’ Aud no person not well affected towards the Federal Government,and not loyal there to, will be permitted to take said oath, or to vote in said election. . Measures will be perfected as early as practicable for administering the above oath to such petsons as may he entitled to take it, and for providing them with certificates of the same as evidence of their loyalty. The said oath is regarded as a part of the bene lits of the Proclamation referred to, and will not be administered to auy of the classes ex cluded by said Proclamation, save on the ex hibition by them of a lull pardon from tiie President of the offence they may have com mitted against the United States. 2d. The Convention thus to be called will alter or amend ihe Constitution of the State, and will submit said Constitution altered or amended, to the voters of the State at the ballot-box for their acceptance or rejection. 3d. The Convention will provide lor the election by the people of a Governor and members of the Legislature; and the Legis lature will elect two Senators to represent the State in the Congress of the* United States Inasmuch as there are no civil magistrates in this State, nor State officers of any kind, ihe Provisional Governor, by virtue ol au thority in him vested by the President of the United States, will proceed Ist. To appoint Justices of the Peace for the various counties, loyal men, by whom the above oath will be administered, and who will also conduct the elections, through I subordinates, for members of a convention, ! m accordance with instructions from this of h( e, and agreeably to the laws of this State in lorce previously to the 20th dav of May, I*ol. \ J ■Ah Superior Courts of Oyer and Termin er will he held, when necessary, by Judges specially appointed and commissioned to dis pose of criminal cases. « 6d. The Justices of the Peace, appointed as aforesaid, will be authorized to bold Courts for the transaction of all such busi ness as may not be of the class of cases triable by a iury. The Justices by a majority of their whole number, will also be authorized to appoint their sheriffs and their clerics for the time being, and for such other officers as may tie indispensable to a proper transaction of business. And they will also ba vigilant and will exert themselves to maintain the laws and to promote the peace of society in their respective counties; and especially to arrest, and commit for trial, when the Courts may be held, all offenders against any law of the State in force previous to the 20th of May, 1801, and to allow bail where the case is bailable; according to the usage of tlie State. 4th. The Provisional Governor will ap point the State Directors and State proxies in the various corporations in which the State is interested, as the exercise of such power by him cannot be avoided. But tlie control of the Railroads, the Asylums, and other corporations lu which the State is interested, thus unavoidably to the extent committed to him, will be relinquished for the action of the Convention when that body shall have assembled. Such in brief is an outline of the policy deemed necessary to reconstruct the govern ment of North Carolina, and to restore tiie State to its Constitutional relations to the Federal Government. And now, as Provisional Governor of the I invite the loyal people thereof to re sume with cheerfulness, and with confidence, in the future, their accustomed pursuits; and I invite those who have been driven from the State by despotic power to return; assuring all loyal citizens of the State that they will be protected in their persons and property, and encouraged in their exertions to improve their condition. j. also exhort them not to cease to take an interest in public affairs, but to unite with me in the purpose to reconstruct the State Govern ment through the aid of loyal citizens ; and to be vigilant and active in discouraging dis loyal sentiments, and in ensuring the election of known Mends of the Federal Government to every office. Your experience, fellow-citizens' during the rebellion, should attacli .you by# the strongest ties to the government of tlie United States. You have just been delivered by the armies of the Union from one of the most corrupt and rigorous despotisms that ever existed in the world. Many of you have been forced, for opinion’s sake, and be cause of your love for the flag of your fathers, to fly from the land of your birth or of your adoption, aud seek a refuge among strangers, to escape the hand of arbitrary power Many of you have been torn * from your homes or hunted down like wild beasts in the forest, and forced into tlie rebel armies as conscripts, to fight for the continued en slavement of the colored race, and also lor a s state of slavery for yourselves and your children. Some of you have been subjected No imprisonment and tortures on account of your opinions; some of you have been de prived for years, up to a* recent period, of treedpm of speech and of the press, and of every essential guarantee of liberty, and of protection to person and. property, which is contained in the Constitution of*the United States. You are once more free citizens of the United Slates. By your sufferings in the past, and by yoar hopes for the future, I ad jure you to guard well your freedom. Re member that all that you have, and all yoft can hope to be, and all of good that is in re serve tor your children," are indissolubly bound up with the American Union. The “ unity pf government which constitutes us one people,”' should be more dear to us than ever, on account of the sufferings through which we have passed. In the language ot Washington, “it is of infinite moment that you should properly estimate the immense value of your national Union in your collec tive and individual happiness- that, you should cherish a cordial, habitual and im movable attachment to it; accustoming your selves to think and to speak of it as the pal ladium of your political safety and prosper ity ; watching for its preservation with jealous anxiety; discountenancing whatever may suggest even a suspicion that can in any event be abandoned; and indignantly frown ing upon the first dawniog of every* attempt to alienate one portion of our country from the rest, or to enfeeble the sacred ties which now link together the various parts.” To tlie colored people of the State I would say, you are now free. Providence has willed that the very means adopted to render your servitude perpetual, should be His instru ments lor releasing you from bondage - It now' remains for you, aided as von will be by the superior intelligence of the white race, and cheered by the sympathies of all good people, to decide whether the freedom thus suddenly bestowed upon you, will be ables- sing to you or a source of injury. Your race has been depressed by your condition in slavery, aud by the legislation of your former masters, for two hundred years. It is not to be expected that you can comprehend and appreciate-as they should be comprehended and appreciated by a self-governing people, the wise provisions aud limitations of Consti tutions and laws ; or that yon can now have that knowledge of public affairs which is necessary to qualify you to discharge all the duties of the citizen. No people lias ever yet bounded at once into the full enjoyment of the right of self government. But you are free, in common with all our peo ple, and you have the same right, regu lated by law, that others have, to enter upon the pursuit, ot prosperity and happiness.— You should henceforth sacredly observe the marriage relation, and you should provide for your offspring. You can now not only learn to read yourselves, as some of you have been able to do heretofore, but you can in struct others, and procure instruction from others for yourselves and children witlMiut fear ol punishment. But to be prosperous and happy you .must labor, not merely when you feel like it, lor a scanty support, but industriously and steadily, with a view of making and laying up something for your selves and your families. If you are idle you will become vicious and worthless; if vicious and worthless vou will have no friends? and will at last perish, “in the sweat of thy face slialt thou eat bread all the days ol thy life." The same Providence that has bestowed freedom upon you,-has told you that .diligence in business is requir ed of all his creatures; and yon can not expect that your race will escape ulti mate extinction, if you wilfully violate or disregard this, one of his great commands. Freedom does not mean that one may do as he pleases, but that every one may, by in dustry, frugality, and temperance, improve his condition and enjoy the fruits of his own labors, so long as he obeys the laws. I have no prejudice against you. On the contrary while I am a white man, and while my lot is with my own color, yet I sympathise with you as the weaker race; and I cannot forget that during the rebellion many of you (ought for the preservation of the Union, and that those of you who remained at home in the then slaveholding States, were, for the most part, docile and faithful, and madejno attempt by force of arms to gain even their own free dom. I will see to it, as far as I can.' that you have your liberty; that you are protect ed in your property and persons; and that you are paid your wages. But, on the other hand, I will set my face against those of you who are idle and dissipated, and prompt pun ishment will be inflicted lor any breach of peace or violation oi law. In fine, I will be your friend, as long as you are true to your selves, and obedient to the laws, as !o‘ug as you shall labor, no matter how feebly, if hon estly and earnestly, to improve your condi-, tion. It is my duty, as far as I may, to ren der tlie government “a terror to evil doers, and a pride to them that do well—and this I will endeavor to do in relation to the whole people of tlie State of North Carolina, “with out tear, favor, or affection, reward, or the hope of reward.” And now, “with charity for all, with mal ice towards none,” I enter upon tlie discharge of the duties assigned me by tlie President, earnestly and solemnly by invoking the good people of the State to aid me in the work of reconstructing the government, and in re storing the State to the protection, benefits and blessings of Union. Done at our City of RalelgWthe 14th day of June, in the year of ourAord, one thou sand eight hundred and sixty-five, and in the 89th year of American Indepen dence. WILLIAM W. HOLDEN; Provisional Governor. By the Governor - Jos. NY. Holden, Private Secretary LETTER HtOM VAI-LANDIGHAM, C. L. Yallandighara’s recent letter to the Young Men’s Democratic Association of Lancaster, Pa., gives at great length his ideas of the present position and duty of the Democratic party. Setting out with the as sumption that tiie Democratic organization will be maintained, he proceeds to argue the question of reconstruction, holding that the slavery question is no longer in the way.— Os President Johnson he says: “In any event, he is entitled at the hands of the Democratic party to a fair, candid and charitable consideration of the several meas ures which he shall propose, though most assuredly, at the sarnie time, it will be the duty of that party to render a strict, firm and* fearless judgment upon them, and to act accordingly as they shall be found to merit support or to demand opposition.” fl(- says of ’slavery “As to file hitherto vexed onestimi nf “As to Uie liitiierlo vexed question of slavery, ailow me to say for myself that from the very first to tlie last, with consis tency and with persistency, I opposed all agitation of the subject; not for the sake of the institution—l repeat it, not for the sake of the institution, but because I had been taught it by the fathers to believe, and did trfily believe, that it could end only in civil war and disunion, temporary or eternal— whether right or wrong, let the history of tiie past four years decide. The [trice has now been weighed out, and in part paid. A heavy score yet remains. But I will not essay to reckon up and adjust tiie appalling account of debt and taxation and suffering, crime, and blood in the past or yet to come. Again, I accept the facts; rejoice, indeed, if under the new order of things we and our children may enjoy the same measure of private happiness and public prosperity which was permitted to us and to our fathers under the old Union, ‘part slave and part free.’ And now, it without slavery, reuuron and a pacification real, sincere and lasting, to gether with welfare and security to tlie peo ple of all tlie States, can lie made sure, let slavery utterly perish. But in no event let the question stand no longer in any way.” He thinks the old Democratic party needs purification : “Without more of courage, more vigor, more audacity, if you please, in grappling with great questions as in former years, the Democratic party cannot, ought not to sur vive, and must give way to some other younger and more vital organization. If it is to remain in its present comatose state, now, at the beginning of anew epoch in public affairs, it were far better that it should be buried out of sight at once. Certainly Ido not advise that it shall move without occa sion, and waste its superfluous vigor upon tlie air. Rightly to be great is nut to stir without great argument; and it may be months before policies and issues are suffi ciently defined to require it to act at all. But the repose of conscious power and the lethar gy of threatened dissolution are very differ ent things.” pipping nicllis[enfe. PORT OF SAVANNAH, JUNE 17. Arrived.
