Important Dsridoii, .1 ndge Underwood presiding in the United States District Court now in session at Alex andria, Ya., has rejected the application of Francis Smith, a former member ol the bar of Virginia, to be admitted to practice in the above named Court Mr. Smith asked to be admitted to practice on taking sn oath that he had not aided the rebellion since he re ceived his fall pardon ftom the President, in June last, assuming that the act of January, i£6s. requiring an oath that be had never aided the rebellion was an ex po3t facto law, and therefore unconstitutional, and that the pardon under the constitution absolutely canceled all former acts of disloyalty. Judge Underwood held that unless the applicant could take the oath required by the act o Congress above referred to—which Mr. Smith says he cannot and could not be admitti and to practice in that, court The petition \vn s accordingly refused. This case decides r. number of applications in which the same reasons are assigned*foi admission. Active Operation* In Mexico. Tm: CiTV OF MtTAMORAS BeSKIEG FD I'.Y TIIK Liberals. The New York Herald of the l’Bth says: From Mexico wc have advice of continued fighting and uncertainty. The heroic city ot M itamoras is fairly beseiged by the liberals under General Escobedo. There is a garrison of eighteen hundred men in the city, andtbe a Hacking force consists of tweuty flv® hundred or three thousand meu, exclusive of Cortina's predatory bauds. Efficiently handled, the imperial troops should suffice to hold the city : but the JutuisW think so meanly of Me jia, the general in command, that they assert that, with a little more ammunition, they j could carry the city by storm. The republi- , can forces had captured the little town ol Bateorzo, in Laon, and secured musketry and ammunition, “Moreover,’’quaintly adds the officer in command, “the merchants of that city furnished the SIB,OOO tor the use of the troops " At the pass ofCabras the Juar istr, also claim to have defeated nine hundred imperialists with two hundred cavalry, and arc further said to have occupied the town ot i t 'aravnjal. Matamoras papers make light of find entirely deny these successes. Juarez is sit Chihualio, with five thousand men. From Hay tl an<l St. Domiu^u. The latest intelligence I'rotn those turbu lent Islands is as follows: According to the last advices the rebellion in llnyti was still unsuppressetl. The rebels held out at Cape Haytien, and President Gef frard, in his journey Jo the front, was de tained by the Necessity of improving the sanitary condition of his army at Gonaives. He has issued an inspiring address to his troops, telling them it must not be said that the handful of rebels at Cape Haytien can impose revolution on the entire republic. Intelligence received from St. Domingo, by way of St. Thomas and Uayti, stales that by the submission of pimental to Cabrcl ail danger of civil war is averted. The popu lace, delighted at this, gave thems< lve3 up to a three days’ festival. Mutual congratula tions and amusements were their sole occu pation during that time. The Condition or Winr—The Washing ton correspondent of tiie Philadelphia Press says: * i There are many who are beginning to be lieve that Wire will break down completely and die before the end of the trial, or before he can be justly punished. He is n man of nervous and delicate frame, and one won ders as he looks upon the criminal, how it is that so much cruelty could be done up in so flimsy a package. His eves.are sunk en, his hair grows wirier and graver every day. and he seems to be without any friends but his lawyers, who are such prolessionaliy—noth ing more, and his spiritual advisers. His wife visits him. Wirz feels that he is aban doned, and abandoned, too, when he Wants iriendship the most—when it is food and drink indeed to him. Haggard, pale and despairing, he experiences something of the horrors he once so coolly inflicted on others, Singular Naval Fund.—A fond o'" a f ju gular character lias accuuiutal? and j n the Fourth Auditor's office ofth«T fcasurv which has reached 5h, 000, 000, It is made up of unclaimed duc uDS Avho nave win , . , , . . „ y .oved m the naval ser v.ce. and from fie es sos &r h -s piojrosfu to i(11)d this accumulated sum, and.rocorac , j, a ssugo of an act es tah'.islnr jg R home for those who have been jnjur' tor life whilst engaged in the naval Service, tha institution to he supported upon The interest of the naval litud. Tho Supreme Court of the Albany Dis trict unauimously decided, at Geuerttl Term, that the shares of the Stockholders in National Hanks were exempt from taxa tion by State authority. It is understood that an appeal from ths judgment will tic Jieard lo the Court of Appeals. Negro Testimony.—A gentleman of an Inland town in Georgia was recently arraign ed lor assault and battery. He escaped by 1 buying the witnesses ut half a dollar apiece - ! After the trial was over he himself gavp a full account of the whole transaction to the Provost Marshal, stating that the bribe was not to secure himself from justice, but simply to illustrate the value of negro testimony.— So says the Athens Watchman. Negro Bcpfraor.— The National Intelli gencer thinks it very clear that no party which might oi ganize on tbe proposition to force negro suffrage by Federal usurpation on the Southern States could succeed before ihe people. It adds, “we dp not believe that there are three Northern States which omd sustain such an issue, if to-morrow 'o "U<f squarely presented." <n m »wfe i AHttx mm roc ad fiats! *Tlie last titimVf It not lest dlYCfiltl -d It Its Content! than Its predecessors, but ol mrircunequal merit lu its original mailer The i .it al article “Tee Rot of the Women" wants force, and is not without rather un due severity. The writer accuses our women of extravagance in dress, furniture and equipage— *f slavish imitation of foreign, particularly French fashions. Them can tie no doubt that a spirit of extr.ivag.ooCJ char acterizes our people. It ; , always allied ts the diminished value of money, but it is no more the peculiarity of our women than of the men, nor of our time* than of past pe riods and former generations. This is no doubt a luxurious ago. Money is tqp freely expended because it is too little valued, but whether the ladies of our day are more chargeable with a devotion to extravagance aud the imitation of l’arisan modes than were their mothers before them, is very question able. The description at all events docs not apply to Southern women, for the war uas left them too poor to indulge in extrava gance and luxury. The biographical sketch of Peter Force is j not without interest, who shares the honors I <it a Bibliople with any of his craft in Europe, j “A l’lia for Tobacco" wifi no doubt be J liai cd with pleasure by the devotees to the j weed. It balances the benefits of its use j with the evils from its abuse with imparti ality. “Our Public charities” docs justice to ! that general spirit of benevolence that charac- ! teriz.es our people in the erection of asylums for the forlorn in almost every class of life, but the policy Will be questioned by true pbilanthrophy of building Foundling Hos pitals, notwithstanding the plausible plea which the writer offers in their iavor, as ! holding out a premium to vice. * The article, “Shall Sectionalism still curse us, is written in a good spirit,and with those ! discriminations between social and political I privileges to the uegro luce, and between ua- I tural and complete civil equality that belong I to the subject. “Party Dishonesty—Reasons | for Hope," is a review of the proceedings of j the two conventions recently held at Albany ! and Syracuse. It augurs hope from the i “military clement" that enters into the com i position of the two tickets. The writer i seems to think that men like “Grant, Btacr- J man, Thomas, McOlellau, Duel, Lee, John | son, nil leading Generals—North and South, ’ 1 are more worthy of public confidence than : the lawyer—than “Stanton, Holt, liuth-r, ; ! Schenck, Carrington and Wallace.” “Whal i the Public Want," is a caustic paper on the deficiencies of Journalism in the United States. We are apprehensive that the au thor's standard fqr Journalism will not be ! answered while it is subject to the tyranny | of opinion as it is in the United Slates, j With a boastful claim to independence it is j really less independent than English journal- j ism. The Keviws are written in a severe, al though impartial spirit of criticism. Among the notices of books that ou the “Lectures on tiie University of Cambridge in Erglaud, by William Everett, son of Edward Everett, deceased," is in the highest degree trenchant and caustic. Tuat ou “Sacred Poetry" is discriminative, showing taste and judgment in this walk of, the Muses. U«p<l« Going South. There are said to be one hundred steam ers now running regularly from New York to the Southern ports, including thirty-three to New Orlcaus, eleven to Charleston, twelve lo Savannah, nine to Wilmington, six to Mobile, seven to Baltimore, six to Newborn, live to Richmond and four to Grlveston. Eighty vessels were reported loading last week. The amount of goods taken now bv the. South is equal to that before the war. " The great demand at present from 'he Southern States is for the common description of goods, more especially in manufactures ; the cheapest prints and cottons, the coarsest linens, the common contract shoes, and all the {other cheaper lines. Machinery and toois are in active demand. This demand for cheap goods is in direct, contrast to th e oidera forwarded by the West. In Ohio, I’.- linois, and other grain-growing States, Use demand is fot*tho highest priced aud richest goods. Responsible houses state that never itas the demand for the higher classes of goods been so great in the West as dtaring the pres nt season. In the Southwest, tend in the Mississippi Valley, irom Cincinnati all the way down to New Ot leans, lint goods wanted are nearer the class called for iu Wes tern orders. In the West the abundant crops have onricbod the great array of pro ducers, aud the clfect is seen in a. desire for the finest and best articles the market affords. In the Mississippi Valley, and the South west, they have also been, enabled by the re tiring title ot war, lit recover from the heavy but not exhausting loss, incurred in the enr ly part, ot the rebellion. —tSashvitle Eisjmtch. Immense Rush or Female Ofmce-Skek- j ebb at Washington.—A Washington letter ! sa_V9 : The Secretary of the Treasury has already within a short time recorded the names of over four hundred importunate female pj titioners foir places, beside* ov*-r a thousand male office seekers. In the other depart meats, where female clerks are employed, ’■j e Hke proportion) of applications is filed. Many ot the petitions iuym the Northern States come fortified by s; n-cial recommenda tions trom Congressmen, and a great num ber ol them are tb* wives or sisters of de ceased soldiers. Tho simple statement of this latter fact is by applicant generally deemed sufficient to secure a clerkship. Now the truth jf ti le matter is, and it should be known all over tbe country, that in all the depart Aleuts there has been a re duction iu the clerical force, and notwith standing this there yet remains tho full strength to c /induct the business of Uio gov ernment eti/ily aud promptly. The Secreta ry ot tho Treasury is jaow considering how best lio way dispense with the services of about fi’.ty female clerks without throwing these Uciies upou the world without meaus or occupation to support them, so that, in stead of having positions to give to new ap plicants, there will likely by a further re duction in the number ot cletks, both male and temale. Mistaken fok a Negbo.— John Williams, a West Indian, with rather a dark complex ion was attacked near the corner of Plymouth and Jay streets, on Sunday night, by aotne Irish women, who mistook him for a negro. Mr. Williams, who is a sailor, was in com pany with tbe lady with whom he boards, at 343 Water street, New Y'ork, and her two children, lie escaped from the infuriated women, who thought he was abducting white j chililreo, but was protected by Sergeant t Grows, of the 42d-Precinct Police, who con ducted him to tho ferry, and he returned 1 home safe.—A'. )' Stm.

[tffcMttsit.l4i.iLj Tb the Yttqj of Chatham Cenaty. My name, teigttlidr « tb ttiCnnntenf my brother. Mr. Waring Russell, having been introduced to the public in a somewhat in vidious connexion, in the card of Mr Nor nood. published In the .Savannah Daily Her ald of the 2d insl. I feel it incunibcul upon me to state, iu my own defence, certain fuels which arc well known in tills coainmaitv. In the first place Mr. Norwood denies that he prosecuted my brother Waring h> r hiihery iu 1864, as he asserts has been alleged against him. He states in his efforts to ex onerate himself that “we got the names of many pel sons, who it teas said, had sold their votes," and furnished these names to the Grand Jitrv, and that upon the testimony of the men who were thus introduced Mr. Waring Russell was presented. Air. Nor wood further states that be did not furnish the Grand Jury with my brotber’9 name, or appear against him before either the Grand or Petit Jury. The complaint against Mr. Norwood is not that lie, in tbe legal sense ot the term, became the prosecutor of Mr. Wariug Rus-ell, but that smarting under a political defeat, he sought au unmanly mode ot re9eutiug the rebuke which the citizeus of Savannah and the soldiers of the army, aud not my brother, had administered to his pre sumption. I conceive it hardly necessary to assert the well known fact that at the Octo ber election in 1863 I beat Mr. Norwood badly for the Legislature, that I received not only a large majority of the votes polled in Savannah, but also of the votes of the army. My brother, Waring Russell, was no candidate for office at this election, and sim ply participated in it with the friendly advo cacy of a brother. The defeat of Mr. Nor wood was the sole ground for his malignant championship of the political virtue of this community, and impelled him to that violent animosity which sought its gratification in the ruin of my brother's name. Had Mr. Norwood known or believed that Air. Waiing Russell had been guilty of bribery there would have liecu something manly in liis vindicat ing the outraged honor of the county, by boldly standing forth as his prosecutor. His worst enemies could have only pronounced this conduct a sort of heroic revenge. But I regret that there is nothing heroic about Mr. Norwood, lie did not manfully assume the responsibilities ot a priseeutor. lie sought to creep into his euds by collecting with re vengeful industry Ihe names of men who “ft was said had sold their votes." and furnishing those names to the Grand Jury. Air. Nor wood did not appear before the jury as a prosecutor—this wuuhl have been unsuited to his mode of seeking revenge. He did appear as au interested spectator at the trial, filled with the mean appetite of surfeiting upon the ruin which lie had projected. The result of the trial was that my brother, Air. Waring Russell, was honorably acquitted. The statement of this truth was not, however, consistent with the spirit which dictated and controlled Air. Norwood's card. It is also well known that the jury desired to bting iu a verdict of malicious prosecution, so un founded wa9 this proceeding against my brother, Mr. Waring Rus-ell, and were only prevented by the tact that it originated in the presentment of a Grand Jury, and that no one stood forth ss prosecutor. This fact, not very creditable to the manliness and courage of Mr. Norwood, at the time, was too damning a commentary upon his own statement to appear in his card. In the second place, Mr. Norwood states that I have pronounced au article published by him on the morning of the occupation of this city by tbe United States forces, to be a truckling, dough-iaccd article. I plead guilty to this grave accusation. Ido regaid this article as unworthy of the position oc cupied by Mr. Norwood and vaunted flfith so many brave words. I believe that lam not singular in this opinion, and if I am, I think 1 shall lie so no longer after a candid statement of facts. On the 18th of December, iB6O, Air. Norwood addressed the “Sons of the 8 iutb," and citizeus assembled at the Fire men’s Hall, upon the occasion of raising a secession flag, anti the papers of the clay pronounced his speech “thrilling and patri otic." On the 3d of Alay, 1861, Captain T. M Norwood, of the Chatham R ties, received the first Confederate flag presented to a com pany in Savannah, iu fervent and eloquent terms. It is unnecessary to multiply examples.— At that period Mr. Norwood was the Cap tain of a company, devoted to the cause of secession. He was ns enthusiastic and re bcllious as the loudest, and proclaimed his devotion to his sectiou with all his strength and energy. But a change came over the spirit of his dream. His military ambition proved as unfortunate as his political aspi rations. His company dissolved. His Cap taincy perished, and the hardships and trials of a private soldier's life presented a fertile Held for the exercise of his patriotism and devotion. But, alas, “wars rude alarums” were fruitful of medical, as well as military miracles. The Conscription law was passed and with unfailing alacrity fasteued upon Sir. Norwood the grevious afllictions of a cane and a pair of goggles. The law was screwed a little lighter, and it lifted Mr. Norwood in to a buggy—his stick being no longer sulfl cicut to prop up his feeble frame. Still burning with a patriotic desire to serve his bleeding country, be became for the second time a candidate for the Georgia Lfgislalure, determined that if lie did not serve iu the ranks himself, lie would not forego the patriotic pleasure of compelling all others to do so. At this time, the per tinent question was asked in a Savannah pa per, why Mr. Norwood did not serve in the army. He only replied by a firmer adhe rence to his cane and to his goggles, and these interesting badges of devotion to his country were not dispensed with until the occupation of the city by General Sherman removed them as if by some magic influence. For these reasons I do consider the article published by Mr. Norwood unworthy of auy man who assumed so emphatic a position at the outbreak of the war. He was not called upon to write it, and it was a re idy abandonment of princi ples and a complaisant truckling to the pow ers that were, which I feel confident did no', elicit their admiration, and certainly does not mine. It was au error in Mr. Norwood to sup pose that being no longer exposed to the in dignation and contempt of his own people, be could propitiate a brave foe by proclaim ing bis own shame. This article was con sidered so time serving and servile that even the friend of Mr. Norwood, Mr. James R. Sneed, the former editor of the Republican, toil tilled upcu u> deb*, iff tbe Mttf.ii lx 14- gtsph, (t think} aflv participation la or tc< sponßMrili'y f»r it. I snbmit to the judgrftent of acaudid public whether or not my opiuloa of this article is correct. Inconclusion, I beg to ask whether Mr. Nor wood's antecedents entitle him to success iu a contest, the result of which, he regards with indifference, where “dcleat will be no cause for regret, and success Will bring no joy," that is, to Mr. Norwood biuosclf, for to tbe county and State the result will be of vital and enduring importance.
