Tbe Northern General Assembly, (G. S.) of the
Presbyterian Church is now in session at St. Lou
is. and its proceedings are exciting great interest.
The radical spirit overrides every thing, and as an
evident’ 0 of their temper, we notice that they'have
excluded most of the delegates from Kentucky
Presbyteries, because of their alleged sympathies
w :h the South. The talented Rev. Stuart Robin-
sea and Dr. Wilson of Louisville, are among the
excluded members. The ground of their expul
sion is steed to be the resolution passed by Lon*
is; 111 & Presbytery, refusing to obey the unchris
tian requirement of the General Assembly which
demanded that applicants for church membership
x:i<i candidates for the ministry should ha made to
confess that slavery is a sin, and if he sympa
tic--d with the rebel lien, they had committed sin
and now repented. This offensive measure is re-
* stc-d by strong minority, and it is thought tLat
a number of Presbyteries will join the Church
South. _
PRESIDENT JOHNSON’S POLICY.
iiie President end his Cabinet were serenaded
in Washington on the 23d iust. I Its policy and
administration was endorsed in speeches by ail
his Cabinet but two—Attorney General Speed,
and Mr. Harlan, of the Department of the Interior.
Those gentlemen declined to speak, but wrote
letters to the “National Union Club” who had
notified them of the intended serenade. Mr.
Speed simply asks to be excused from speaking.
Mr. Harlan was rather tart, liis “political affilia
tions,” he says “have cot been doubtful in the
past, and that it cannot be expected that he will
do or say anything which would tend to divide,
weaken or demoralize the great Union organiza
tion until the purposes of its creation shall have
been fully accomplished.
Post Master General Dennison expressed the
opinion that the difference between the President
and Congress are not irreconcilable—that, they are
not as wide apart as at the opening of Congress.
Mr. McCulloch said, “Jbave desired and hoped
for the continuation of the great Union party,
with which I have been evpr identified ; but if its
leaders can present nothing better than the pro
gramme of the committee, I am greatly apprehen
sive that its days will be numbered, aud that the
epitaph that wjii be wiitteu on it will be ; ‘It
knew how to prosecute the war with vigor,but it
lacked the wisdom to avail itself of the benefits of
victory.’ ”
Mr. Stanton, in a written speech g-oes into a re
view of the leading measures advocated by Pres
ident Johnson in which he said he concurred and
that he should continue to recognize the constitu
tional powers of the different departments of the
Government
Secretary Seward was absent, but has a long

Important to Surveyors and Engineers.
Our attention has been called to a new inven
tion which we think must revolutionize the meth
od of surveying and laying off lands, leveling for
roads, canais, Ac. It is the invention of J.
biliey, E«o., an ingenious citizen of Staunton,
Yv.rnid happily combines with the common sur
vey c‘s compass, the advantages of a sui veyor’s
transit, and with a system of graduated arcs, ver
niers. iVc.; saves lon g calculations from the tables
cf logarithms, and enables one to read off almost
immediately the area of the land passed over at a
STeat saving of time and brains. There is also
connected with it a telescope with spider’s lines,
Ac., which can bo used to perform any engineer’s
work that requires a level, and thus dispenses
with the necessity of using a cumbrous and ex
pensive instrument which is a great desideratum-
As before stated, this is a Southern invention, and
•s such, it gives us pleasure to learn that it has
keen introduced with great success at a number of
bio Universities and Colleges of the United States,
having supplanted all others at West Point. It is
aow introduced into most of the Colleges in Vir
ginia and North Caroliua, and is highly prized by
all who have used it.

HOMICIDE.
El IAS Mahon died on Saturday last, from the
m' wounds received from a negro man
rimed 'iRtiv. We understand (hatthe negro "’as
the aggrieve party, and that Mahon shot him
through tiie thigh : the negro then struck Mr. M.
0rer the head with a pistol he had in his hand,
knocking him down, and injuring his skull. Tho
u ’po is in rather a dangerous situation from his
wound, the ball missing the femoral artery about
au eighth ot an inch.

> GOLD WATCHES.
^ We havc^bera)reading several articles upon the
Gold Watch-Tirt', and have been struck w ith the
returns ol the Northern and WFstcm States, but
particularly with New England. Yfe dislike to
call into question a man’s, or State’s veracity, hut
we are under the impreasiou that tb«-re has been
some hard swearing among the descendants of
Plymouth Rock, and that they have been econom
ical of the truth in their tax returns, or they have
liiled to give in any tax at all. Whether there
has been any special act in the different legisla
tures of the New England States relative to the
gnd watch and rilver ware tax, freeing the con
sciences of their citizens from any duplicity, and
allowing them a broad margin to swear upon, we
know not; but we are not prepaied to receive any
■ ich returns as vve have seen reported from New
England as a true return, or the beginning of a
true return. Peijury must be a virtue in certain
sections, as Greeiy was astouisked, that Southern
men could not be found by the thousands who
were ready aud willing <o t ike the “tost oath,”
and was lost in mental abstractions as to such a
phenornanon,' reasoning, that if the same state of
affairs had existed at the North as did at the Souih,
that the “test oath,” would have been no impedi
ment in the way of filling every office in the coun
ty in a twenty four hours notice.
Eut to go back to the gold watch question. We
soe it slated that the six New England States
returned altogether only 92, of which only 13
paid a tax on a value above -flOU. Strange to say
that neither Rhode Island, nor Connecticut, nor
Minnesota, nor Iowa, nor Kansas, nor Nevada,
nor Colorado has credit on the tax books for a sin
gle gold watch. Wonderful economy among
those people; Dot only in the way of gold watch
es, but in the way of telling the truth.
Illinois gives in four gold watches, Michigan
•fie. There are no returns as yet from North Car
olina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama,
Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, or Texas. When
they do report, something like the truth will be
told. Camden district, S. C. lost by Sherman’s
army 2,100 gold watches, besides pecks of silver
spoons and forks, &c., &c. Those gold watches
are to-day scattered through the whole North West,
and their possessors are about as truthful as they
are honest.
We had a curiosity to see what returns the
county of Baldwin, aud city of Miliedgeviile made
in gold watches. Baldwin county votes about
600. We iound frefni the tax books, that there
were one hundred ar.d twenty fee gold watches re
turned, aud thirty-one valued at from £150 to $200.
One of our citizens received a few days ago, a let
ter from a man in Ohio, telling him that he had
his gold watch, taken when in Miliedgeviile in
1S64, and that if he would send him $50 lie would
send his watch to him. The name ot the owner
was on the watch. Unfortunately, the widowed
mother of the owner of the watch, lost at the time,
all of her silver ware and a gold watch of her own
and an amount of gold coin.
Just think oi it! that the county of Baldwin,
with 600 voters gives in more gold watches than
the whole of New England, aud a half dozen of
the Western States thrown in. The gold watch
tax is a tarcc North, or the peopie of tiiat section
are unworthy of being trusted upon oath. We
were aware that the Yankee had the reputation ot
being shrewd, cunning, money saving, money
making, but we were not aware, that they would
perjure themselves to save a dollar or two. Let
us bear an explanation from New England.
If we have dene injustice to any one, we will
make the amende honorable.
Hew Northern Policy Works on its Otrc Soil.
Below, we publish some extracts from a private
letter written by a lady who formerly lived in
Georgia, but is now resident iu one of the fertile
valleys of New England. It tells its own story ;
shows clearly, that while the “speculators,” shod
dies, “Bulls” and “Bears,” are bloated to displo-
sion, the masses who procure their living by hon
est industry, are seeing “sights,” and feeling deep
ly the results of Radical Policy.
“Dear , You say I must come and see you.
How glad I would be to do so ! But it is impossi
ble. Now I will tel! you all about myself. I as
sure you it is with the strictest economy I can get
along. We have sold everything we could well
spare; our horse, buggy, sleigh, farm wagon, and
Buffalo robe. All are gone, I have bought but
two yards of cotton cloth in four years, I have cut
up my sheets into gowns, and stript my pillows of
their coverings to make other articles of clothing.
I have no more that I can cut up. And now I
must buy, if I have any thing more. 1 have a
pair of shoes on my feet now that I have worn for
two and a half years, and expect to keep them on
til! next winter. As my feet go -to the floor, I
starch inside a piece of thick cloth. When that
wears through, 1 put in another piece.
My husband is very kind—does not drink coffee,
tea, or spirits. I make two pounds of coffee and
halt a pound of tea do me a year. I have a corn-
fertable heme, about seven acres of land, keep two
cows, one hog, four hens and one crower: and for
this little I pay a tax this year, of Forty-one dol
lars and fifty cents!
We cut hay sufficient to keep our cows—have
pasture for them, raise some vegetables, but we
buy our grain and flour. We give thirteen dollars
a barrel for second rate flour—fifteen dollars for
first quality. I sell butter and get a good price
for it—forty to fifty cents a pound, so that we
Jiave much to make us thankful, but have no
money to spare to travel on.
BP Judge Erskine of the United States District
Court held in Savannah, renders the following as
his decision in regard to the constitutionality of
the test oath. Judge Law and Governor Brown

U. S. District Attorney, to the contrary.
Upon argument had on the said motion of the
petitioner Mr. Law, and after full consideration of
the matters of fact and law involved in the motion,
it is ordered and adjudged by the Court, that, the
Act of Congress approved January 24th, 1865, so
far as it was iutend<-d to apply to this case, is re
pugnant to the Constitution of the United States.

[Correspondence of the Southern Recorder.]
Charleston, S. C. May, 1866.
After an interval of thirty years, I have again
visited this city. Great changes have occurred.
The burnt district is likely to remain desolate un
til capital shall be created for its restoration. It
has been estimated that in 1809 the value of prop
erty of every description in South Carolina was
S4<JV,(HI0,00U, and that of this amount seven
eights have been absorbed by the war, leaving
only 50,000,000 of actual value as a foundation on
which to buiid agricultural, manufacturing and
commercial prosperity in the future. Joint stock
companies w ill have to be formed with fifty part
ners to accomplish what the means of one individ
ual formerly permitted. The tax of ten per cent
imposed by Congress on banks of circulation, has
effectually closed up all financial agencies of this
class, so that the accommodations once so benefi
cial to trade, are no longer enjoyed either by the
merchant or the consumer. Large fortunes had
been invested in securities now worthless. At a
time when distress is actually present, the Benev
olent Institutions, of which Charleston had many,
well endowed by private munifieense, are power
less to relieve—all their funds Laving been swept
into the common vortex of ruin. Viewed in a
more pecuniary light, South Carolina may be com*
pared to a giant whose limbs have been pinioned
to the earth alter a vain struggle with a hundred
foes, but whose spirit of endurance and recupera
tion is still intact.
When I look on the ruins of For: Sumter, and
on the Flag now waiving over the Citadel wheie
the sons of Carolina were taught the science of
war, my reflections carry me back to a historic pe
riod identified with the Pinckneys, Rutledges,
Middletons, Laurenses, Uugers, Eiliotts.Lowi.’des-
es, Pringles, Hayneses, Calhouns, and their dis
tinguished compeers. These patriots and States
men passed away in honor, and it was a relief to
commune with the hallowed past as I stood be
side their tombs in the cemeteries of St. Michael’s,
St. Phillip’s, and other church yards in the city.
The dead alone are safe ; the living are always in
peril.
While I have witnessed things here, of which
the novelty did not altogether supersede the pain,
I must refer the whole to the r.eia life which the
North has communicated tp the South by the mis
sion of gun-powder and bayonets, those effective
expounders of international law. A thousand ne
gro men inshoAvy uniforms, with burnished shoul
der-plates, Kossuth hats aud plumes manufactured
expressly to suit the African taste, parading the
streets in white gloves, with glittering muskets to j
lion. The interest on the public debt incurred in
the four years of President Lincoln to free the ne
gro, is not lass than 150,OOOJkMI per annum, found
ed on a liability ^anal to one fourth the taxable
value ot ail the property,real and pcrVmai, in the
United Sta*Cs. To this extent the whole is mort
gaged to public creditors for the sake of the negro.
The lien will continue until this debt shall be ex
tinguished by taxation. The pressure will shake
the Government to its foundation, and the only
compensating result in tLe eud will Le, that the
earthquake was an inevitable necessity to swallow
np all the imaginary chains and manacles which
had been worn by 4,000,990 South*, nr slaves
whose labor produced 4.000.000 bah s of cotton,
which, at 15 cents brought $240,000,000 in gold j
or its equivalent from Europe to this country,, to j
enrich our people.

consumption on the former scale of slave labor
and the reduced supply under free labor, will be
attended with general trisects in political economy,
of th* most painful character. The sufferings in
flicted on the South by the war will thus recoil on
the fanatics who fomented it, and worse still, on
millions of innocent people who had no agency in
the selfish efusade. Within the next five years
the world will be convinced of the delusion which
brought on the war, which if not criminal in the
motive, ha3 at least proved disastrous. The ele
ments begin to herald the approaching storm in
the North.
My sympathies for the people of C'hrr’.eston a;e
not so much aroused from the mere loss of wealth,
as from other considerations more sacred in their
influence on the heart. Two extreme cases will
show my ineaniog.
During the American Revolution of 1776, an
eminent citizen cf Soutlr Carolina, by the bold
ness and dignify of address which no other man
could have brought so happily to bear, succeeded
in obtaining from the King of France, the aid
which secured our national independence. Such
was the favorable impression made on Louis XVI
by the Carolina envoy, that he presented him with
a Gold Snuff Box, on which was the likeness of
the King set in diamonds, the money value or
which was then estimated at $10,OOU. Fof
more than eighty years this memento has been in
the family, an object of pride from its peculiar as
sociations. But the surviving members of that
ancient and honored house have been reduced by
the war from affluence to poverty, and have been
compelled to place this princely relic on sale, fer
which a citizen of Baltimore has offered $3,"00.—
The offer has been declined, with the hope of ob
taining a more liberal sum, as the proceeds of a j
proposed raffle at $10 per share.
The other case is that of a widow who owned
350 slaves and several Rice and Sea Island planta
tions, worth probably half a million of dollars In
gold, all of which has been wrested from her and
her children by the fortunes of war. In her ex
tremity she has had to part .ith even her gold
thimble, as the last vestige of property with which
she could purchase bread. The agents of the
FreedmenV: Bureau are no doubt cultivating the

officers in command ot the department. Freed-
mens Bureau, post &c. The half dozen negro
Regiments which had been on duty in Charleston
after the evacuation, had been withdrawn before
my arrival, except one Regiment, I believe. Ne
gro soldiers are very common in the British do
minions, and the people of the South are last
waking up to the value and beauty of the English
system of government, especially its vigilant pro
tection of individual rights. As we are under the
necessity of living in the same political communi
ty with the freeduieii, let us make advances and

tbe negro lias been injured by the war, and is en
titled to our sympathy. The North is bound by
every sentiment of honor and moral obligation to
educate aud feed the negro since taking him out
of the hands of his former guardian who best knew
bis faculties and how to make them useful. Let
teachers and missionaries from tfceNorth come for
ward, and no obstacle will be interposed by tbe
people of tbe South to the laudable work. The
large public school buildings, aud several private
residences in Charleston have been converted by
the Yankees into schools and hospitals for freed-
men. while teachers of white children are compell
ed to rent rooms as best they can, to accommo
date their pupils. Such is war, with the disabili
ties of peace!
By this allusion I mean no disrespect to the mil
itary officers in command here. Most of them
have acted with a moderation aud propriety which
I could hardly expect from conquerors. Their ex
ample iu this respect has done much to revive my
old reverence for the military character when
Scott and Taylor represented the U. S. army.—
What cause I have had to modify niv opinions
since, it is unnecessary to disclose iu the midst of
a Reconstruction campaign in which the Radicals
are trying to defeat the humane policy of the Pres
ident. Suffice it, that my nature is forgiving,
though at times impatient. I hope that tbe North
ern and Southern mind, with corresponding inter
ests, may become reconciled in a steady effort by
the people of both sections to understand each
other, and above all to do justice to the poor negro,
who is ically nothing more nor loss than the Ele
phant wou by tbe North iu wager of battle, but
who in fact is to forage upon the South, with oc
casional pickings from the Froodmen’s Bureau.
The commission to inspect this mongrel concern,
now in progress, will bring to light many curious
devices of Norther u origin respecting this same
Elephant. 3i is keepers find it difficult to manage
him, and I should not be surprised if he broke
loose from their custody outside, and regaled them
with tbe sweet odor of his proboscis in drawing-
room and sanctuary, by dennuiuiug ciril rights
through a judicial medium.
The Radicals have tern tlic Constitution into
shreds by attempting to stretch it over the negro,
and are now trying to patch it with raw cotton at
five cents, as a perpetus.l tax cn the South. On a
crop of 2,000.tkJO bales, this export duty would
amount to 380,000,WH>, about six times the expeu
diture of John t>uiucy Adams, whose re-electiou
to the Presidency was defeated in 1828, because
it cost the Treasury §13.000,000 per annum for
tlm support of goveruiucut during iris admiaiitra-
June 5. 1 S>6
Ail the trials and sufferings to which they have
been subjected, have only developed a new phase
ot character in the people born and raised in
Charleston. Not a word of murmuring or com
plaint escapes them. Their houses shelled, their
furniture stolen, and all their earthly possessions
swept away, no self reproaches or vain regrets are
indulged. They acted in the beginning on whr.t
they honestly believed to be a correct principle,
the right of self-government, and this conviction
they still entertain, though of course they vieid to
th* arbitrament of the sword as final, without the
power or the inclination again to assert their cher
ished theory at the hazard of war. State Rights
and State Sovereignty are ideas of the p>2sr, fond
to recall to be sure, just as we revive with melan
choly pleasure the memory of a departed friend.
I fear that President Johnson will not be able to
preserve a solitary plank from tho wreck of the
Constitution, to serve as a pattern for adjusting a
new government, after the madness of the Kadi
cals shall have established their negro despotism.
Take the people of South Carolina as we tied them,
brave in misfortune as in battle, aud ready to do
and suffer whatever the noblest manhood dictates,
we can never feel less than admiration for their
heroic Tirtues. and to wish for them a speedy re
turn of prosperity^anu happiness.
I have much more to say about Charleston, its I i~t~nT*<=»
present and future, its many establishments, and
its generous and indomitable citizens, which I
must defer to another occasion. M.
Governor.

Again we are impressed with iho truth, that earth
is not man’s abiding place. It cannot be that
our life is a bubble, cast up bv the ocean of eter
nity, to float a moment on its waves and ti.en sink
into nothingness. Else, why are the gtorions as
pirations which leap, angel like, from the temple
of our hearts, forever wandering about unsat
isfied ? Why, too. are endeari* » forms presented
to our viaw, and then taken from ns. le.n lug the
tide of onr ulfeetions to sweep back in icy torrents
upon our hearts? Ah.no! we are created for a
higher, nobler destiny than tiiat of earth.. There
is a realm where the rainbow of hope never fades,
mid the faithful, who here pa. - before ns like
shadows, will there b* in our presence forever
Ijet this thought comfort the grief-stricken. The
subject of thi« notice had been a ntt-iaher of the

strict sense of right, maintained his clni-tian in

husband—gentle, indulgent and provident as a
father, and sincere as a friend. He leaves a large
circle of mourning relatives and friends, who
should emulate his virtues ; their influence, as a
