The SaraniaE Daily Herald 8AVANNAH, THURSDAY FEBRUARY 22, 1866. Tl»« WhUtUr, •• You have heard," said a youth to h|l aweethenrt who stood ~ While he sat on a comsheaf at daylight’, decline— “ You Bave heard of the Danish boy’s whistle of wood, I wish that tho Danish boy’a whistle was mine 1“ "And what would yon do with it? TeU me,” she said; WhUe an arch Bintle played over her beautiftU fee*. “ 1 would blow it,’* he imwerod, “and then mj maid Would Hy to my aide, and would there take her place.” Is that *11 you wish for ? That may be yours Without any magic/* the fair maid cried. slight one’s good nature secures! ” “I would blow it again,“ said the youth, “and the charm Would work so that not even modesty’s check Would ho ablo to keep from my neck your fine arm.” She smiled, and she placed her fair arm round his neck. “ Yet once'more would I blow it, and the music di vine. Would bring a third time an exquisite bliss; You would lay your fair, cheek to this brown one of mine, And your lipe stealing past it would give me a kiss.” The maiden laughed out in her innocent glee— “ What a fool of yourself with the whistle you’d make For only consider how silly ’twould be To sit there and whistle for what you might take.” Tlie Charges Against Jefferson DmvIb The Northern papers of the 17th inat contain the following: •■The President on Friday transmitted to the House of Representatives communications from the Secre tary of War and the Attorney General. In reply to a resolution requesting him, if not incompatible with the public interest, to famish any report or report* made bv the Judge Advocate General, or any other officer of the Government, as to the grounds, facte or accusations ui>on which Jefferson JJ*”'!’ T C *SP.®° Clay, Jr., Stephen R. Mallory and David L. Yulee, or either of them, arc held In confinement . “Tlie' Attorney General says to the Preaidtmt ‘Sundry reports of the facte which go to show that Jefferson Davis and other rebels have been gnil^f of high crimes have been made to you. as toe chief ex ecutive officer of the government Most of toe evidence on which they are based was obtained ex parte, with out notice to the accused; and while they were in custody in military prisons, their publication might wrong the government, or the accused, or both. While I see that much wrong may flow from the pub lication, 1 cannot see that any good would come from it. In my opinion public and private justice alike de mand that they should not be made public.’ “The Secretary of War says to the President-: ‘These reports were made for your own information, and contain abstracts of evidence and ex parte proof in possession of the Bureau of Military Justice. Pend ing anv action in respect to the parties accused, the publication of the report 4a. in my opinion, incom- patible with the public interest.* “The President concurs in these opinions.” General Sherman and the President’s Policy. On the 8tli instant General Sherman was publicly received in the city of Detroit In response to an ad dress from the Mayor, he said: ‘•I never expect to again command a military force. We arc too powerful for our peace to be destroyed in the future by a domestic or a foreign foe. The coun try lias too many men such as those whom I now see around me, some of whom accompanied me through the piue forests of Oeorgia and the Carolinaa, fbr Its quiet to be lightly disturbed. [Applause.] Michigan herself alone, and certainly when backed np by Illi nois, Indiana and Wisconsin, could raise an army large enough to not only repel, but crush any force or power that should dare infringe upon our borders. [Cheers.] Our national affairs will soon be restored to a sale and permanent basis. Congress, when it has finished a certain arnbunt of talk, as all popular assem blies must, will speedily settle all questions. [Ap plause.] “A year ago you were anxious for the army which I had the honor to command. It had disappeared from your -sight; you heard nothing from it and knew not where it was nor where it was going. Exercise equal faith now, and matters will come out as well. [Cheers.] I know the man at the head of affairs at Washington, and all we have to do is to trust him. [Applause. 1 Exercise forbearance and patriotism and give the Pre sident our hearty and earnest support. [Applause.] We certainly have a bright prospect before us.” Endorsed by Grant and Sherman, and by the solid worth of tho country, there is but little reason for un easiness in regard to the ultimate triumph of tho Pre sident’s policy.

The Springfield Republican thus notices toe on*, p,Turing of radical wrath upon the President: “The colored viaitafron to toe White House has ac complished Us obvious purpose. It has given occa sion for a- fresh onslaught upon toe President The Worcester “Freedom Club” has promptly issued its anathema against him for declaring against forced ne gro suffrage-in toe South, in which they say that he ‘rivals the inherent injustice and meanness that be long to men brought up in slavery.’ Rev. Mr. Hep- worth, white Unitarian, and Rev. Sella Martin, black Baptist in Boston, (reached angrily about toe presi dent on Sunday, both alike grossly caricaturing the President's position, and denouncing him for treache ry to the cause of freedom and humanity, of which there is no proof in his words or acta. The Worcester Spy prints a letter from Washington full of scandalous personai'ubuse or the President and follows it np with an editorial attack, In which the President is berated for Baying that the extremists who stand in toe way of the restoration of the Union ’must get out of toe way.'” Thu New York World aaya the radical storm is ra ging all through toe country, and in a short time “Andy” Johnson premises to become the beet abused man in the United States. A strange story is told of two sisters at Berlin.— About three years ago one of theae young ladies was engaged to be married, but on toe' bridal morning bocame so ill that she could not possibly go to toe church. The bridegroom was a desirable one, and he was a fish who, it seems, had not easily been hook- ed. There was, therefore, great danger in delay, so instead of poetpoulng the marriage the second sis ter covering herself In a long veil, personated the first and duly went through toe ceremony. The moment it was over she transferred toe bridal drees and orna ments to her slater, who was thus considered to have all proper claim to this husband sho married by proxy. It iB only recently that a discovery has been made of the real facts, and proceedings are about'to be taken not only in toe civil, but also in too criminal courts of Berlin. Plantation Sales in Mississippi.—Hie Jackson MissiKsipQiau states that W. M- Pickett's fine planta tion on Big Black ri ver,'two thousand four hundred and forty acres, fine steam gin, hogs, cattle, corn, Ac., has been sold for f20,060 in gold. Another plantation, of two tlniusaud eight hundred apd twenty sores, near Calhoun station, with full supply of stock, meat.ikc., sold for $25,000 in gold. The company that purchased these plantations have also leased several others, and intend to sub let to emigrants from the North, who will settle on the land and farm at their own expense. rsTLUKSCE op a Tbue Wire.—A sensible, affection ate, refined, practical woman makes a man’s nature all toe stronger by making it more tender—puts new heart into alibis strivings—and givea dignity to his prosperity and comfort to his adversitw Every true Rfo wields a stiU greater power when it feels a living heart drawing it with irresistible force Into every po sition of duty. ^ The Coloked Troops.—We learn, from toe Federal Union, that Governor Jenkins has telegraphed the' President, importuning' him, in toe name of the people; who are quiet and • orderly, and need no mtu- tary restraint of any kind, to remove toe negro troops from tbe State. We hope this is true. Their presence is wholly uncalled for, and is cresting heart-burnings and bloodshed wherever they go. No community feels itself safe with snot an element in its mia^ we deserve to be rid of toe reign of terror.

The Opening of the French Legislature Tho Paris correspondent of the Hew York Herald says of toe opening of the French Legislature : “The ceremony was remarkable from the ihet that for the first time toe Prince Imperial, instead of coming in with toe Empress as a child, and remaining with her in toe Tribune, occupied a place at toe aide of the Emperor, as heir to toe throne of France, toe Prince Napoleon occupying the seat on his left; The Empe ror was evidently vary anxious to know toe impression his inrndi created among the American community in Parts. This morning. In conversation with an Ameri can professional gentleman who is greatly in his'eon- fldence, he asked him what was fte feeling among the Americans relative to that portion of bis speech relating to toe United States and Mexico. Upon be ing informed that it waa highly favorable, his Majesty replied he waa very glad of it, as it wsa his intention and desire to asaura* toe United States Government that hit feelings toward it were of the most amicable nature." ‘ We observe an utqpslTe migration of toe “an. bleached” westward.
