[From the New York Herald, 20.] The following correspondence has taken Elace between a colored committee of the Tnion league iu Savaunah and Senator Sum ner : Savannah, June 15, 1865. Hon. Charles Sdmner, Boston, Mass : Sir —We, the undersigned, committee of the Union League of Savannah, Ga., have the honor to present to you these our peti tions to his Exce lency, Andrew Johnson, President of the Uuiied States, signed per sonally by the hands ol some three "hundred ancl fifty loyal citizens. f We respectfully ask that you will present them to his Excellency tne President, and we beg that your honor will use all your influence in our behalf, and oblige, Very respectfully, your humble servants, Jos. C. Jackson, Chairman; George R. J. Dolly, Corresponding Secretary; Benjamin W. Roberts, Peter Duncan, Joseph S. Tison. Boston, July 8, 1865. Gentlemen —Your petition asking for the right to vote has been forwarded to me here, with the request that I would present it to the President. I regret much tba* «h --r a>/iu wo»utngcon uas prevented" me from doing this in person; but I have lost no time in forwarding the petition to the Presi dent, with my most earnest recommenda tion. You need not ask me to use influence in your behalf. I cannot help doing so to the extent of my ability. Allow me to add that you must not be im patient. You have borne the heavier bur dens of slavery; and as these have ended, be assured that the others will end also. This enfranchised republic, settiug an example to mankind, cannot continue to sanction an odious oligarchy, whose single distinctive element is color* I have no doubt that you will be admitted to the privilege of citizens.^ It is impossible to suppose that Congress will sanction any governments in the rebel States which are not founded on the consent of the governed. This is the corner slone of republican institutions. Os course by the ■‘governed’’ is meant all the loyal citizens without distinction of color. Anything else is a mockery. Do not neglect your work; but meanwhile prepare yourselves for the duties of citizens. They are yours of right, aud I do not doubt that they will be yours soon in reality. The prejudice of caste and a false interpretation of the constitution cannot prevail against justice end common sense, both of which are on your side; and I may add, the constitu tion also, which, when properly interpreted, is clearly on your side. Charles Sumner. Surrender of the Stonewall —The offi cial correspondence attending the surrender of the ram Stonewall to the United States is published. The Spanish Minister declares the reasons on which the demand for the Stonewall wa9 made, insufficient, but, never theless, turns her in to Mr. Seward, in order to avoid “discussion without object.” He requests that the Captain General of Cuba be reimbursed in the sum of $16,000 for ex penses incurred. Mr. Seward fully accedes to these terms, and avails himself of the oc casion to offer “renewed assurances of his highest consideration.” % Movements of Tkoops.— The steamship Empire State, which arrived at* Hilton Head yesterday, will probably take North on her return, the 28th lowa and 181st New York regiments, which were mustered out some days since, auct have been awaiting trans portation to New York. Blind Tom. —This noted blind .negro piaD- Ist is giving concerts in New Albauy. Soon as the Masonic Temple can be engaged, Tom will pay our city a visit, and give a series of concerts. — -Louisville Democrat ■ ■ ■ U. —The grave of President Lincoln’s moth er is in Spencer county, Ind., and is mark ed by no monument or headstone. Mr. Lin coln intended to visit the grave this summer and erect a monument, an bssay on Education. j RY P. JEHU MALONE. The multiplicity of elaborate essays and orations wkich have appeared in the Ameri can press or rung in deep and eloquent reverberations throughout the College Hall and at the public anniversaries, have been prelusive to an age of mental inactivity, or what is the same, total indifference to mental culture. It is certainly difficult to realize the wide-reaching influence, that universal education wields over the destiny of nations; and since common consent or a reciproca tion of ideaß and aims cannot possibly exist among mankind, no system of universal ed ucation can ever be upheid. In sheer abso lutisms and some few governments of mil der type* coercive measures are adopted to secure the intellectual advancement of all classes, but in purely democratic stiuctures it would perhaps be considered a circum scription of political liberty, at once oppres sive and unjust. But Blackstoue would have a little individual freedom surrendered for the common good, and certainly in our country, where we, with cool determina tion, anogate to ourselves the right of uni versal suffrage—where the constitution guar antees die elective fianchise to every one— some elevated and independent regime for the rapid progression of all classes in erudi tion, is more vitally necessary than in any other lafad on the globe. Intelligence should rule the polls ; independence and high-toned patriotism should distinguish the press ; and it these renovations are not created, the elec toral system will be, as heretofore, a monu ment of corruptibility, and continued revolution will be the inevitable re sult. It is* true that sometimes to polish intellects is tantamount to consum mating talents and quickening predilections lor operations that eventuate natioual sub version and ruin, not to notice smaller crime*; but it is the exception, not the rule, and be comes a palitable subterfuge when brought forth in argument against the improvement of the mind. It is unmitigated uoust ns'e to say that too much education exists any wutre, lor it has been determined by philos ophers iu a.l past time that a consciousness of ignorance is the fiist of our discoveries, as we climb towards the lofty piuacle of intelli gence. Too much, then* cannot be seen umoug any people, since the preservation of social labrics, must be paramount to all oth er earthly considei atious, and this with its attendant qualifications lor virtue and in tegrity, wilt secure to any great people an establishment of their institutions as j/ereq,- nial as the ebb and How of the tides. To obtain this politically necessary improve ment, let female education be something more than a mockery. Ignorant mothers seldom, if ever, bring up cuildren to lives of greatness and usefulness. Besides, woman wields over society at large au influence, gen tle and imperceptible, though mighty iu its results, it rnigut seem that we are witness ing a decline in the human intellect —that the vigor ot the mind is waning and deteri orating by little as time advances; but this is apocryphal to say the least; if we are de clining iu anythiug it is in energy. There are advantages commanded by tUe student of this day, that his predecessors upon the vast stage of life never kuew. Compelled to master, by intuition, without the assistance of books, and plodding moodily along when the Still hour of midnight, revealed uu star lighting up the vault ot Heaven, the man of science prepared to establish facts for the' wonder of all after time. Gazing into the broad ocean-like expanse of most beautiful amethyst of which he knew nothing, and concerning which those whom he had el bowed into oblivion had traced no intelli gence, he was lelt without aid to solve the problem, and to find the vast infinitude ol revolving worlds with their magnificent re tinue of attendants mysteriously identified with his fate. It has been, and is, an age of progression—the field of experiment and en terprise is illimitable, and the mental stamina ot the present, with proper application, will present a versatility and depth not surpassed in by-goue days. A little legislation upou this subject plight not be out of place—it would uot beau exercise of atbitrary,power to build up and enforce an educational regime when it will conduce to the advantage of the country, and her best interests are thereby to be indemnified. The Interview of the South Carolina Delegation with the President. —The South Carolina Delegation, headed by Gov. Perry, had an interview with the President on the afternoon of Wednesday, the* 19th. The New \ ork Times’ special dispatch says that this delegationjwas suggested at various town, meetings throughout the State, and the members had been selected and were on their way to this city before the news that Gov. Perry had been appointed Provisional Gov ernor of the State. Gov. Perry first heard of bis appointment when he had'got seventy miles from home. In the course of the inter view ot this afternoon, Gov. Perry assured the President that South Carolina would be represented by her Congressmen in the month ot December next, and doubtless by the first day of the session; that the State would adopt the amendment to the constitution abolishing slavery; that the pariah system will be abolished; that the Presidential Electors will hereafter will be elected by di rect vote of the people, and, in general, the btate laws will conform to the spirit and form of those of the Northern States, an and to the Federal Constitution. The * Speech of Gov. Perry at Green ville, S, C.—The speech delivered by Benj. F. Perry at Greenville, S. C., July 3d, is re printed in full in the New York papers, and is exciting no littb comment. The New York Times remarks: It is rather surprising to hear a South Car olina mouutaineer like Mr. Perry—to say nothing ot the delicate office he holds—de clare that “in all history there is not a more perfect model of a pure and great man, (save Washington; than Robert E. Lee.” One would have supposed that a fitter sub ject lo r eulogy might have been found by an official who lias gained bis present position upon the faith placed by the Executive in Mr. Perrys solemn disclaimers of any sym pathy with secession or its advocates. But allowance will be made for the sort of au dience the Provisional Governor had befoie Urn. StriMfcent Regulations for Freedmen In Afacon. The Macon Telegraph of the 18th instant says : Capt. Nunan, 3d Ohio cavalry, commander of the post at Milledgeville, publishes some Very sensible fulea for the guidance of freed men and former masters, in that section, which are to remain in force until further or ders are received from headquarters. Be cause they are practical, in the absence ot the conU'Hing power ot the freedmen’s bu reau, pMcopy them as fellows: Ist. Ifce former masters of freedmen must not allov any vagrancy on their plantation, all that cm w ork must be set to work, and if they f*i to do it the punishment will be severe. * 2d. Freedmen going from one plantation to anotbe: on a visit, are required to have permissive from the proper authorities to go on the premises where they intend to visit before t«r can enter. 3d. All freedmeu in the city and vicinity will immeiiately get passes showing where they bel<*g, And all coming to this post on business virewequired to have a pass from their forgrt masters, otherwise they will be arrested. 4th. Freedtnen that will -use any disre spectful foiguage to their former masters, and those that will not obey what proper orders arejiventhem, will be severely pun- ished. sth. Th practice of stealing and killing stock by fredmen has been very extensive on the platations, and in order that this may be pu a stop to immediately, all em ployees oi freedmen, will have a daily in spection (f the freedmen’s cabins, and if anything i-found iu them that does not pro perly belog to them, it will be reported at this post f< farther examination. 6th. A certain class of citizens in this city make it a pactice ol trading with freedmen from the nountry, which encourages the freedmen t steal aud plunder from his form er master; he following rule will be ob served belie the purchase is made here after : 7th. Fredmen peddlers are required to have a pner from their former master, showing thr have proper authority to sell the ariicleshat are enumerated on the pa pers, and a. freedmen not having the writ ten authors to sell, will be immediately arrested by he civil marshal or military au thority. A/ freedinan or white person har boring or feding freedmen that run away from their ormer masters, will be immedi ately punLled by the military authority. |i , . ■ .i The AcfiirTAL of Miss Mart Harris.— On the 19fbinst., the twelfth and last day of the trial of iiss Mary Harris tor the mur der of A. J Burroughs, a large and excited crowd asstoled in the court room. The ar gument of te counsel ot the deceased, Mr. Voprliees, tis an eloquent and moving re cital of the sory of. an innocent ’ girl ruined by a faitnles lover, and of the frenzy, amounting most to insanity of the victim, ( evincing itsei in attempts to commit suiAde, and culmifiamg finally in the murder of her betrayer. Ts sympathy of the spectators at the trial wi entirely with the accused, and the appe. of the counsel was frequently applauded, 'u the conclusion of the argu ments of camel, the Ju dee, in a few re marks, submfcd the case to the jury, who, after an abseee of about ten minutes, re turned with a erdict of not guilty. On this announcemen there was great excitement. The men thre up their hats and burst into loud applause women waved their handker chiefs and wet with joy, and numbers rush ed towards libs Harris to congratulate her. The acquitted lady fainted, and was taken from the corn room in an insensible condi tion. The Releae of Gen. Ewell.— A despatch from Boston sates that the wife of General Ewell proceeded to Fort Warren on the 19 th inst., with an rder from President Johnson for the release of her husband. On taking the oath of al giance he was liberated, and both left for tb South last evening. The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald sys: General Ewil has been permitted by the President to rturn to his home in Virginia on parole, to report once a week by letter to the Secretary f War. President Lincoln havmg directe, under date of the 23d of March last, tba Mrs. Ewell should have the benefit of his amesty proclamation,*aud she having taken ie required oath, President Johnson to-daj permitted her to return lo Nashville, her ormer residence, and take Eossession of tb property, as decreed by the hstrict Court jo Tennessee. —The Petorslurg (Va.)

In the present condition of the country, It is of par amount importince that the Church should have an organ in the South for the dissemination of Catholic Doctrines, and the defence ol Catholic 'i cachings and Practices. Tne sudden, radical and unexpected changes which have taken place in ihe organization oi Southern in stitutions, political, religious and social, make the support or' a Catholic Journal in this section an im perative duty on Ihe part of each and every member of the Chureh. If then the Catholics of the South desire the publi cation ot this Journal continued let them go to woik. without delay in its behaltl and sir soon ns a sufficient number oi renewed subscriptions are received it will again be regularly issued. TUe past tone of ’1 he Pacificator, Religious, Polit ical, and Literary, wilt be its best recomiuenoatiou, and a guarantee of its future conduct, Mr. L. T. blouse having withdrawn from the con cern, the paper will hereafter be conducted soie,y by the subscriber, who earnestly appeals to the Catholic* of tue couth, and to ail others friendly io the cause, to sustain The Pacificator by a liberal patronage. The catholic clergy throughout the South are au thorized to receive Subscriptions. ISP” Publication will be resumed as soou as the par ties whose names are now on the hocks renew their subscription*.
