Jlsrnss nrriv.d yesterday afternoon by the South tiarolipa traia, and was roceived and es corted to the Csmatery by a number of the relatives and ftianda of the docoosod. Hr. Barnes held the position of Orderly Bargaant In the Sixth Georgia lleserres. and having bean taken siok and lent to hospital during Sherman’s march through this Stetp* was lost sight of, he having boon ordered first to Cheraw, and afterwards to Sumter, S. C., ut which latter place he died on ‘or about the 18th of Meroh, 18#5. , The scene of his death and place of in terment was ascertained by the merest Oc cident, In a conversation with the lamcnted’s friends and Rev. Dr. Winkler, as to tho missing, it having happened that the latter gentleman had attended Mr. Barnes in hia last hours. William E. Barnes was one of our most energetic citiiens, and was distinguished alike for his seal and honesty. A Fact fob History.— ln his ud drese at Norfolk, a short time since, upon rebuilding the churches of the South, ex- Goveruor Wise stated that “more than twelve hundred churches had been utterly destroyed in the Southern States during the war/’ in addition to the vast number that bad been “polluted, defiled, defaced and impaired.** Think of it! Says the Richmond li’Aiy There was in nine cases out of ten, more likely In nineteen cases out of twenty, not a particle of necessity, military or otherwise, fur this. It wns sheer wantonness and dia bolism. Yet the men who did it havo keen hold up to the world by those who hnumled them on from the pulpit and presses es the North, as Christian warriors—us a Biblo reading and God-fearing race—its the lead ers and exemplars of the civilization of the century —as the champions of a policy “founded on great moral ideas,” with end less balderdash of that kind. Twelve hun dred churches destroyed ! Lot tho fact go into history as an enduring ovidcnce of the spirit that actnnted the hordes against which, for firesides and altars, we con tended. To bb Paid.— A bill has been offered in Congress (with a probability of its boing passed) to pay the Collectors of Internal Revenue who were not able to take the test oath. This is but just, for it would be a shame that the country should accept the services of any class of citizens and then refuse to give them What thoy have earned. It is to be hoped that Postmasters, who have la bored so long and well for the public good, will also receive proper remuneration for their services. Most of those in office were compelled to seek it in order to the support of themselves and families, and it is but just that they should be promptly paid and paid in full. Personelle of the Delegations. — The Washington (D. C.) National Intclli yenccr thinks the Courention party at the .South will “send such men as, by tluir an tecedenti, will most fully give the stamp of nationally to the Convention;” and that “they cannot hare too much regard to the personelle of their delegations.” The organ of the Convention movers says: “The South should not send men who have made themsolves obnoxious by promi noace in secession. The best thing it oan do is to put forward as its political lcadors the men who are fitting representatives of the existing Union sentiment es that sec tion." Verily the oracles of to-day are as am biguous as their prototypes of old. The Cholera on Tybee.—The Mer cantile Index say tho cholera still holds sway on Tybee Island, though no cases have yet oecurrod among the passengers on the San Salvador. There are not many new cases reported on the Island, but this may be because there are only eighty-six of those landed left, there having been forty deaths and three hundred dosertions. Many dead bodies havo been found on the marßbes intermediate between Tybee and the city. It is feared that there are a num bef of doserters in Savannah. The police are constantly on the alert for the arrest of them. The Wheat Crops. —We are now pretty well posted from all sections of the country, says the Macon Telegraph, in re gard to tho wheat crop just harvested, and the conclusion is that while it falls short of an average of other years, as regards quan tity, it is far in advance of the crops for some years past, and of excellent quality. There is an abundance for domestio demand, and a good surplus for exportation. The currency being equal, flour ought to and will be considerably ebeaper. How to Preserve is said that if milk be introduced into bottles, put into a pan with odd Water and gradually raised to a boiling point, and after being al lowed to cool, be taken out, ccrked and set in a cool place, it may be preserved perfect ly sweet for upwards of half a year. The reason is said to bo that heat deprives the sugar of ita power of changing into lactic acid. New Firm.—We take pleasure in call ing attention to the ahnounoement made in another column by our enterprising young friends, Messrs. Baker <fc Taliaferro, who afe holding forth at the old stand of Mr. It. B. Willis, lately deceased.
