On our first page we publish a communica tion from Major General Early, a distin guished officer of the Army of Virginia, in -vindication of the truth of history, which we feel confident will be read with-interest and gratification by all who cherish a-sincere veneration for the character and memory of the Christian patriot and hero, Stonewall Jackson. It will be seen that Gen. Early, whose opportunities for knowing what trans pired in the military councils of the’army were certainly superior to those of the writers whose statements, he controverts, not only , agrees with us in the opinion that General Jackson never advised a night assault, in which our troops were to be “ stripped naked and armed with Bowie knives,” as Pollabp, but gives the most con; sons to prove that no such extraordinary movement was ever contemplated by him. Apart from its personal interest, as vindi cating the characters of the illustrious dead and.no less illustrious surviving chief of the Confederate armies, the letter of General Early is a valuable contribution to the un written history of the great hut unsuccessful struggle for constitutional liberty. As such we commend it'to ou .1 V, -JEEen Reconstruction Committee, - JL f » [ivonto Governor "Wabmoth, of Louisiana, published in General Meades' The portion, too, placing Federal troops at the order of Provisional Governor Bullock receives opposition, because it is maintained that if Georgia is to be remand^ again to military rule that General Meade should be master of the situation as before, and that any such thing as giving regular troops ex clusively to Bullock to manage would be not only a reduction of, and a criticism upon, : General Meade, bnt would only precipitate tBBGdshed, and probably arouse violence in the State. - Indeed, the attempt to-recast Georgia in a “trooly.loil”;jnQuld will .be sure to receive opposition from many of the Geor gia Radicals themselves; The Bullock par ty, comprising, with him who gives name to it, a white man named Davis, and three ne- A Blunder.-—President Johnson in that p tion of his message in which hVtreats'of the public debt, and which so exasperated the loyal Senate as to make them forget the dig nity of their station, committed a blonder which is being - very generally commented -upon by the press, since it has been pointed oat by the Richmond Dispatch. : In speaking of the public debt the President says: ’ “The general impression as to the exorbi tancy of existing rates of interest has led to an inquiry in the public mind respecting the . sion is becoming prevalent, that; the. amount which it obtained was in real money three or four hundred per cent, less than the obligations which is issued in return.’’ Upon which the'Dispatch remarks: As one hundred.per cent, less than any.ob ligation or bond is just nothing at . all, it is quite absurd to speak of three or four hun dred per cent. less. This mistake, which is so frequently made, grows out of the fact that in adding, the percentage .is limitable, and may go np to thousands; bnt in subtract ing, to reduce any sum by 100 per cent, is to reduce it tonS. To raise a tax from fifty cents to one dollar is to increase it 100 per cent.; but. to reduce it only fifty per cent. To raise a tax from one dollar to ten dollars is to increase it by 900 per cent;; "but to reduce it from ten dollars to one dollaris to -reduce it by only ninety per cent JL 4 Mr. Carl Schurz, it is said, will be sent to the United States Senate by tie Radicals of Missouri, in place, qf Mr. Henderson, and several of the Radical newspapers have already applauded the wisdom of the choice.

Another clique : of Republicans from that State, headed by Joe Brown, the last se cession Governor, are expected on next week, in time to press their views upon the-Judicia ry Committee of- the Senate in favor of the collection of all alleged inequalities by State action. They declare that the power of Con gress over Georgia, even upon the broadest hypothesis originally claimed for that body, was concluded as to Georgia when that State was represented in the. House;, that; any re newed meddling will wreck the party there, and.the constitution of the State accepted by Congress distinctly mokes negroes ineligible to office^ Bullock represents the carpet-hag element. Brown the scalawag element Each is at hitter war with the other. It is announc ed that Hill and Mules, Senators-elect, de cidedly agree with Brown, and that Senator Sheehan's statement-that Mr. Hill deplored the expulsion of the colored members, was without authority. .It is understood that Messrs. Wilson and Edmunds are preparing a bill to supercede Mr. Sumneb’s, in which they will provide for the declaration of the eligibility of black men to office, but will leave the handling of the Federal troops to General Meade, not to Bullock in the first instance. It is also stated on what is deemed good authority that the reference of the bill appor tioning arms to carpet-bag governors, where with to equip negro militia, means the quiet shelving' of the proposition for good; and, moreover, that the President-elect is not averse to snch a disposition of the measure. Rice, of Arkansas, is incensed at this dispo sition of the bill. So are the other carpet bag Congressmen. They unite in declaring that the legislation of the session is to be cut to suit the alleged taste.of an Executive not yet inaugurated.' CORRUPTION IN HIGH PLACES. Senator Mobqan, of New York, and the great black and blue Peter Codpeb, are re ported to he engaged in a secret movement to buy up the Virginia and Tennessee Rail- Toad, with a view to an extension of the line from Chattanooga to New Orleans. These gentlemen, says the Bridgeport Mtmier, are known, far and neai* as large operators or {amblers, in money, and how far they have aided to keep np the disorders at the South by “reconstruction,” with a view to this or other gambling operations, they can tell bet ter,. probably, than others. Where “mam mon” is the great god of worship, men so un tiring as these gentlemen are in their devo tions are not apt to be illiberal in the aid they beStiyw; .where the results are sure, in Cgfend, to bring-a large dividend to their pOCkfte. nYY*J V IV1W4 How many of the “carpet-baggers” in these two States, and how many of the revolution- arycabal in Congress, are connected with them ih this conspiracy, is probably also bet ter known among themselves than to others- Bnt, undoubtedly, their - design was to have enough engaged with.them in the plundering scheme to make it a success. ' This is but a limited, miniature view ofthe demoralization that exists in “high places.” Among officials and men of distinction, .money is the god that is moBt fervently and sedulously worshipped, and vice, immorality, corruption, fraud, and rascality run riot among them. — ► !•< < : ticxv Phase of tlie Negro 5 aewtion—A Protest from One ofthe Students Against tho Action of the Faculty. * PcrKCETON College,.

For ney’s Tress says: “War has taught us by dear experience that it is not wisdom to risk its approach unprepared, and Mr. Garfield's bill will in ail likelihood meet with a warm’ response from every side.” • r —* • • • * : ; • T “hr is now well understood in well-informed circles,” writes the Washington correspon dent of the New York World, “that Hon. E. B. Washbuene is to he Secretary of the Treas ury in General Grant’s Cabinet. This is the only Cabinet appointment decided upon, but upon this you may rely.” A break occurred in the Main Croton water pipe on Third Avenue, between-Thirty-third an & Thirty-fourth streets, New- York, which occasioned serious damages to property in the vicinity. A large quantity of water es caped, deluging the cellars of the adjacent buildings. One drag store suffered $500,000 the: cabfet-baggers after the TOMB OF WASHINGTON. . I We copy the following article from Forney’s Philadelphia Tress, from which it Wouid seem that the carpet-baggera are almost “working up a case ” against the “ Ladies Mount Ver non Association,” for the purpose of recon structing that institution, or, in other words, of getting possession of jjthe tomb of Wash-,, ington. The Tress says: If all the rumors about the management of the Mount Vernon'Association be correct, the design of purchasing the estate and tomb of the “Father of His Conntiy ” has been ter- r .bly warped. Instead of its being a shrine which patriotic pilgrims may visit with pride, it is a place which engenders sadness because of neglect, and which mortifies the heart, because it is controlled by those who revere' not the conntiy or its founder. The Commer cial Bulletin says: ' We learn that a family of eight Southern persons occupy the mansion, bring in ease I and comfort, and admitting visitors to a view 1 of only three of the many rooms in the man sion; that officers and soldiers of the United. .States army are forbidden to enter the grounds except upon payment of a fee, while fire companies and pic-nic parties from Alex andria and other Southern, towns are readily admitted without charge. • whole country. The public would like to know how this family of eight ladies is com fortably supported in the home of -George Washington; by what right they Shut out visitors from all but three rooms in the house; what becomes of the half-dollar fees paid by visitors—whether they ultimately find their way into the tills of the family grocer and butcher, or are carefully added to the fundB of the Mount Vernon'Association. There can, of courae, be no reasonable ob jection to the residence at Mount Vernon Of two or three agents of the Association, as custodians of the property. They-may be Southerners or Northerners, for aught we care. But if the loyal people of the country who go on a patriotic-pilgrimage to the tomb of our first President, are to be taxed for the support of a dozen idle, penniless representa tives of a decayed “first family,” it is right that visitors should know it ■ How Gen.
