[Richmond Cot. Cincinnati Gazette—Rep. Paper.) Yesterday as I sat conversing with the agent of the’ Freedmen's Relic t Society, in bis tent, on Capitol Square. Governor Picrponl's pur iy torn. was notictd coming toward us. He stepped into tbe tent, and with an ap pearance of having been greatly shocked at some incident, said that uc had called to converse with the agent on the subjtct ol at fording temporary re.ief to a lady iron) Ash land. who had just called to see him at his residence, and who was the grand daughter ot Chief Justice Marshall, toriuerly Chief Justice of the United Stales. This lady, the mother of eight children, and ttie wife of an aged and deenped husband, bad come a dis tance of eighteen miles iu order to ask for food to keep her family from starving. She told her ptain aDd sad story. Before the wai he. husband had disposed of all his real estate, and had invested the proceeds iu rail road stock and net roes. When the war Jiegan this railroad stock was changed to Confederate bonds. The day betore the evacuation of Richmond, they ■were surrounded with all that an abundance o. means could procure—were independent ot tue world. Tlie day following they were destitute, penniless, and obliged to seek for n means ot subsistence wherever it could be j obtained. Mrs. said that nothing but ( the love she bore lor her helpless and de- j pendent children would induce her to make this humiliating application for relietat the hands of strangers, but she could not stand idly by and see them starve. Her husband is old and a cripple, bhe, though advanced jn years, could yet make an eflort toward driving from their door the presence of pinch ing, squalid want. Tbe war, which found them in affluence, now left them in destitu tion, and humbled by their reverses, they craved through this noble-hearted and heart - b okeu wife and mother, the simple charities which Northern Christians, in the benevo l.nce ot their hearts, could afford to offer all poor persons, whether friends or enemies. .Sue was supplied with Hour and other arti cles. and was assured .that she need not hesitate to make further application in the future, for the descendant of one of Ameri - ca's most gifted and useful sons, however degenerated, might yet expect that gratitude and reverence which" this nation must always observe. 1 nis is not an isolated case. There are many similar ones that Lave come under the observation of those who are affording Tcmpdrary relief to the suffering poor. Nut two months ago a descendant of Thomas Jefferson applied for relief to the agent ol the Christian Commission in this city, but befote doing so she offered to shovel flour with a scoop, from the barrel, it by so doing she eonld obtain food lbr herself and family. There are many families its Virginia who where equal to those I have mentioned, be fore the war, in points of wealth and posi tion. but who are now struggling hopelessly in the most reduced circumstances. They do not appear to fully realize their situation, but seem to be completely paralyzed iu every faculty of the mind. They were reared in all the luxuries of Southern homes, and only reflected on the manner in which they could invest their wealth, and add happiness to that which they already enjoyed- To-day they are more helpless and destitute thau the most ignorant and grovelling negro who was once their slave. Their pride revolts at the idea of lestoring labor of any kind for a support and their effeminacy would be a se rious drawback should they have an inclina tion toward resorting to manual labor. They need minds to think for them, to devise ways by which they may prevent themselves from approaching to the verge of starvation. The State of Virginia has nothing to offer its citizens in the way of relief, and no provis ion can at present be made for the future support of the destitute eitizeus. The peo ple have discovered that in the Northern States dwell generous, self-sacrificing men, and they depend upon them for assistance. Unless an effort in that section is promptly made, great suffering will exist here this wiu ter. Some have died from actual starvation, and many' more are destined to. unless assist ed. In some of the counties huge crops of grain have been raised, but there are thous ands who canuot ouy, and this seeming abundance will not avail them. Iu this country of abundance let it not be said that so much suffering is allowed to exist. The Church Militant. By the new constitution of Missouri, every priest, preacher, or religious teacher, prior to the exercise of ecclesiastical fuuctious, is required to take, an oath to the effect that he has never manifested “sympathy” with those engaged in rebellion against the linked States. Some ot the clergy have taken this oath, others of them still stand out stoutly ugaiust it, and the Missouri papers teem with edito rials, communications, and controversies on the subject. Archbishop Kenrick, of the Cath olic Church, has issued a pastoral to his cler gy, telling them they must not take this oath, but if threatened thereby with a conflict with the civil powers, to report the ease to him for advisement. Owing to its peculiar polity, the Catholic Church :u Missouri is thus a unit in its opposition to this requirement ol the new constitution, and various Protestant denominations, though less ununim. arc still, to a great extent, of the same mind. The Baptists, in particular," are notoriously recu sant, and in a late number of the S'*. Louis Republican appears a long and ably written protest by the General Association of thut sect in the State. This proiest declares that the oath is iu conflict with the Constitution of the United States—interferes with the free dom ot worshipping God —ex post facto in its operations—and makes every minister who refuses it a witness against hiinseif. Besides these legal objections, the protest sets forth others ot a moral and religious nature, as that such oath is uujust, aud iu its taking makes an implied admission that the decrees of earth ly authority are superior to the mandates of the Great Lawgiver oi Israel. Por these rea sons which, whatever their validity, are set forth with no little beauty of illustration— hiits clergy ol Aiisaouvi dt'CiJirc tliev wiil not take this oath, and cion- their m»ini lesto by saying. •• If we should so?ar form mir legitimate calling (which i-, m ..rea li Christ and him tru.-ihed to our fellow uieu j as to preach treason, we refusenotto be tmn rshed os other men are- punished. But we are forbidden to pre acn the Gospel—as w - cannot serve two masters-we must disob. v We can never render to Osar what belon g to Go<l. Ivow, as the new constitution of Missouri makes it an indictable offence tor an eeclesi asitc to preach without having previously taken the oath, am as, ot course, the Gover nor is bout to enforce the law as it status with no respect to persona, it is evident U.U attitude ot the great body of the Missouri clergy will lead to a collision between Churcn and State. The Governor, if tm e to bjs <iath of office, must see that recussaat clergy men are indicted, and, it found guilty pun isbed. Tbe clergy, it true to their convic tions of duty, must go ou preaching till, By force, they are drugged down out of their pulpits, in tbe face of the congregation, to whose spiritual needs they minister. The issue is fairly made up for the fust time in the hint or y ot American Republic. betweeu Conscience ou the one side and the Law on he other. Some time since we spoke of some such conflict as likely to be resultant from the war; but had no thought it would have been brought about so soon,oral so eariy a day the tiiaie should meddle with the Church in a mere matter of the feelings. How the matter Will end we know not, but for one, place our- JWvi s firmly on the rock of the United States y»*titution—it Ido treason, let me suffer tbe vou Mi r°lr l ‘ e S rlmiLi “ ucl_ if 1 think trea r. ’ tl wd not man, judge the wicked -Aagueia CWMuuonfjut THf KNOXVIM.S TftAOEOV* Tht Tftia Story ol tSla RsrrMt Hcmltlili «»•« Lynching at KnoiVllW. Tcnti. Nashville, Sept, 7. Young Baker was tbe son of Dr. Harry Baker, a prominent physician, who was un fortunately killed dining the Sand* iY raid in East Tennessee in June. 1863. He was 16 or 18 years oid, hut very small of his age.— He had been iu the rebel army, but had al ways been considered a very quiet, gentle manly young man. H»U, who wa* quite a large n.an, was in the Federal army a short time, then clerk in the custom boure at Nashville, where be married ; afterwards re moved to Knoxville, and was appointed | clerk ol the Circuit Court. On the day ol the homicide, Hall was standing in tbe ' “Mansion House - ' bar room, when he saw i young Baki r go into the County Court clerk s office, just opposite. Hail immedi ately started acroßS the street, remarking to the bystanders that they now would See him give a rebel “the d—det thrashing ever a white man got." He then attacked Baker in the office breaking his caue the first blow.. Baker backed out of the oflke down the steps, Hall following him up. Baker using his arms to ward off the blows. When Ba ker reached the pavement be drew a pistol and fired, the ball taking effect in the head, near the ear, while Hall was in the act of strik'ng. Hall died instantly. Baker was immediately arrested by the sheriff and ta ken to jail," which is now in the hands of a civil (?) officer and some half-dozen colored soldiers. The night following a large crowd of men, beaded by a formerly United Slates officer, proceeded to the jail, which wassur rendered without the show of resistance.— Baker was taken out quietly and given in charge to four or five men, who took him a few feet from the jail-yard to a shade tree, and after forcing bun to mount aa old chair, they tied the rope to a limb, where he was banging next morning at breakfast-time. Tiio jail guard (?) say that he died bravely, telling the mob, after tbe rope was adjusted, that they were a “pack of cowards and to “come and face him, and see how a brave man could die." Improvements at tile Capitol. The Washington correspondent of the Portland Daily Press thus describes re cent improvements in the Capitol, at Wash ington : “On the 18tli September, 1793, General Washington laid the corner-stone of the Capitol. The' edifice has passed through various mutations since then,having been par tially built, then sacked and burned, so far as it was combustible, then rebuilt and fur , nislied, and now in later years so enlarged ! aDd remodelled as to change essentially its architectural character, and obliterate the original design. Only now at length, when our political institutions seem grounding themselves more fully than ever bclors upon the cver.asting and immoveable principles of justice and right, ami so appioximatingas surd stability aud permanence, is the Cap itol at last approachiug completion. THU DOME. “The dome, its grandest feature, is now finished externally, and stands in its grace tul majesty against the sky, a monument of modern architectural skili. Si symetrical and beautiiui is it, that you hardly realize its magnitude ; but when you climb its giddy height, and clamber among the network of irou bars and beams between its outer and muer shells, yon are not surprised to learn that eight thousand tons of iron and one million of dollars have been used in its erec tion. The great fresco that is to ornament the upper section of its interior surface, forming the vaulted ceiling over the expire of the rotunda, oue hundred and eiglily-six feet above the floor, is now progressing iu the hands of Mr. Constantino Brumidi. THE PORTICOES. “The ease in porticoes of both extensions arc now completed, except a iew blocks yet to be added to tbe one upon the southern or Representatives' end of the building. The tympauum of this portico, moreover, has not yet received any statuary like those groups which form so pleasing a feature of its fel lows. Both are supported by double rows of Corinthian columns, and" presuit, now that they are completed, a front of rare magnificence. Four more porticoes smaller tiian these, and to be supported by single columns, yet remain to be built, viz: one on the northern and another on the southern end or face of the Capitol, and are on the western front of each extension. Tbeamount of marble already used iu these works is truly astonishing, and still the Capitol is mu sical with the clink of hammer and chisel, while huge blocks on every hand are slowly assuming the forms, of pedestal and base, shaft and capitol, frieze and cornice. The time necessary to complete the exterior ol the Capitol will, of course, depend upon the force employed. At past rates of progress two. or even three years, will bo hardly more than sufficient. THE LIIIRARY. Avery extensive enlargetaeßt of lire Coa giessional Library ia now iu progress. A uumber of small rooms adjacent to tbe Li brary, formerly used tor the meeting of the committees aud for other purposes, are be ing demolished, so as to form two spacious halls, one on the North and tbe other on tbe bouth of tbe library room, and connected with it so as to form two L’s. The apartment at present occupied by the library is niuelv leet in length by thirty-three in width, anil the new rooms are of the same width, aud ut-arly as long. Since, however, the)’ will contain three galleries, whereas the old part nits but two, they will each be about equal to it in capacity. The new rooms are to be tiuislied in ail respects like the other, that is to say, iu rich and tasteful style, and per n-'Ctly file-proof. The iron shelves and oth er casting, necessary to fit these spacious halls h.r their intended purpose, are to be furnished by the architectural iron-works of New York. The nottb room.is to be finished according to contract by the lkst of January, und the south by the first of July, 186(1. The cost of the enlargement is estimated to be $160,000. When completed the library wi.l occupy tbe entire centre-part of the western frout of the Old Capitol, will con tain 150,000 volums and will be worthy of our capita! and uatlon. The enlargement Is going forward upon plans made by Mr. T. I . Walters, late Capitol architect.” The Chiniiso i.s California, — Albert I). Richardson, in Lis last letter to tiie N. V. Tribune, gives a succinct description of our country’s population; There are fifty thousand Chinese on the Pacific coast. Coming E ,st instead of go ing West, tbe organic law of emigration is against them, and nature enforces iter own statutes. Hence they do not settle, but merely nts,y ; tike no root; briug few wo men save prostitutes; import from home their food, ot which rice is the chief staple ; send home their money; send home even their d<-ad embalmed, twilight land, nursery '■* the human race, where the Orient join the fXcideni. Industrious and frugal, serene and quiet under heavy taxes and frequent kicks, poor John Chinaman puts money in his purse and revels in dirt and degradation. Iu the mines, only gleaniug where the white man has reaped, at the year’s end bis is the larger ’•pile.” When he finds a rich lead, by mys terious but invariable coincidence it belougs to some American—inexorable policemim who bids Johnny “move on." The divine 'bd't of numbers and of race is against him. tVriect in imitation, where temale labor is scareo, be proves unrivaled at nursing cook ing, washing and honing. He dandles ba bies unrusted to him with so much caution and tenderness, that all the material instinct must lurk somewhere under his long pigtail in Ins yellow face or his mooney eyes. My friend lias a masculine domestic named Afoy, who scrubs floors, washes dishes and cooks dinners with grave and deliberate fidelity. A Southern paper says there have been too many camp meetings in that section for the past few years. I might have added, also that therq has been decidedly too much prey. amwgrArgiM. daTjlXy JOURNAL & MESSENGER, Published Every Mormug and Eyenme. MACON, GEORGIA, GORNER OF CHERRY ARO TNIRO STRUTS.
