A MeWe editor, speaking of Rev. Henry
Ward Beeoher, «mo the following language,
to wtt* the Nashville Union objects :
Wo intended eating something to-dav
about Henry Ward Beeeher, but a special
nano, and te mo not allowed to introduce
anything dirty or vulgar in them. We are
•any: we would have liked to introduce
hia. especially as we learn that the Honor
able (God save the mark!) Salmon P.
Chase and his brother, Prod. Douglas Chase,
have appointed him to run the eburehes in
Alar nan.
Well, we imagine it better eou One can
net ightvrith a ebianey sweep without get
ting blanked, or ploy withs poppy without
bin fooo linked. He is after all on
ly the poaperatiee of a puppy, as pronounced
In Spanieh alky—eon of a Beeeher.
We agroo with the Union in eondemning
the nee of eooh language by a Southern
journalist. is wrong in itself, discredits
bk a the dignity of the press, and unjust to
Mr. Beeeher. This gentleman has ever
been a consistent oppoaer of slavery, and, as
nook, baa said and dona many things calcu
lated te impreae the South with a belief of
bia implacable hatred of her people aud in
stitutions. Bat it should be borne in mind
that he wae the ftret to speak in oar behalf
and urge a universal amnesty. Besides this,
Mr Beeeher does not belong to that low or
der of foaatioa who, without intelligence,
are impelled to opposition solely by the in
stincts of a bitter end ignorant prejudice.
Ha ia a man of high intellectual attainments,
prominent among tko loading Divines of the
North, and one to whoaa opinions, however
much we may dissent from them, no incon
■dtrabk weight of importance attaches. To
apply the above quoted language of our
Alabama ootemporaty to sueh a man, is not
of serious eonseqaenee to the party assailed,
it is true, but it betrays either ignorance or
e culpable disregard of the amooities which
should characterise hightoned, honorable
pram controversy. For Heaven’s sake let
not the Southern press degrade itself by
adopting the pot-honse slang and low vitu
peration of Northern radical journalism.
There sen be no excuse for the use of Buoh
harsh expletives, for the man to whom they
would justly apply, would be unworthy of
journalistic notice.
Rblxasx or How. A. H. Stxpuxms ame
Othbbs. — The Augusta papers contain tel
egraphic information of the release from
prison, on qmrole, of Messrs. A. H. Ste
phens, Geo. A. Trenholm, of South Caro
lina, Judge Campbell, of Alabama, and
ex Gov. Clarice, of Mississippi. The news
of Mr. Stephen's release will be particu
larly gratifying to the people of Georgia,
and will, we doubt not, tend to promote
the spirit of harmony and reconciliation
which is gradually possessing the minds of
our people. By this act of clemency, too,
the President will have strengthened his
own hands for the work of reconstruction,
aa Mr. Stephens will, doubtless, give it the
aid of his great mind and personal popu
larity. Upon the whole, we look upon
this event aa an indication of brighter and
happier times for the South and the entire
country.
Atom!.—ln a recent message, Mayor
May, of Augusta, computes the immedi
ate debt of that city, including bonds past
and coupons ior interest due on bonds,
at $150,000, which amount, be state®, is
covered by taxes due the city. As to the
bonded debt not due, the Mayor assures
the public there need be no apprehension,
as the city has ample property to pay all
its debts, even it that property were thrown
upon the market in its present depreciated
condition.
Referring to the noble charities of Au
gusta, tbs Mayor says, ratioD* are issued
weekly from the “Purveying store” to five
hundred families.
He suggests tbs construction of a levee
to protect the city from the disastrous ef
fects of freshets. Also the rescinding of
the tax of $1 per bale on cotton brought
to the city.
A.together, the message may be taken
as a favorable exhibit of the condition of
our meter city, for which she is probably
not a little indebted to the administrative
abilities of the Mayor himself.

HAPPI If*:**.
If people vv(Hild be at hail the pains to
procure happiness which tli«*y tak# to ren
iimii i jjjnlwirjMiJMf ** r
more agreeable. It is singular what ideas
of happiness prevail in the world. Most
pereous seek its attainment, not in what
they have, but in what they have not im
agining those to have it in greatest perfec
tion who possess the greatest amount of
worldly gear. This is a, lamentable mis
take, the lessons of life should teach. Ihe
happiest people we have ever known were
amoog the poor, or moderately wealthy
classes. It is not so much in the amount
of our possessions, as ia the use we make
of them, that happiness oouwists. The
millionaire may be, and frequently is, a
miserable man, while the beggar is com
paratively happy. Happiness is content
ment, but perfect happiness is unattainable
on earth, because of man’s transgressions.
The same spirit of discontent which mars
the happiness of men now, was the one
which prompted original sin. The garden
of Eden, with all its glories and blessings,
failed to satisfy our first parents’ craving
after the unattainable. This Paradise,
with all its rich treasures of animal and
vegetable life, its gorgeous pictures of
earth and sky, of running streams and for
ests green, its fruits and flowers, its sun
gilt hills and shady vales, its health-giving
zephyrs, freighted with the fragrance ol
Nature’s choicest plants; this heaven on
earth, where angels might have dwelt in
bliss, was rendered the discontented
abode of man, because, of all its rich pos
sessions, the fruit of one tree alone was
forbidden him. With everything to ren
der him happy, Adam became miserable
himself, and entailed misery upon the
world, to gratify a vain desire for some
thing he needed not.
As with Adam, so with all who have
descended from him. We imagine that
happiness consists in the attainment of
something we do not posses, when indeed
we have that which, with contentment, can
make us happy. With the terrible exam
ple and fate of Dives before them, men
will persist in the delusion that wealth is
happiness, and so wear out their lives and
burthen themselves with care in its pur
suit. Now we imagine that, even in life,
Lazarus was a happier man than the
proud, arrogant upstart who refused him
even the crumbs that fell from his table.—
And why ? Because the jK>or, despised
and grievously afflicted beggar possessed
a source of happiness which the riches of
Dives could not purchase— contentment.
Contentment predicated on the assurances
of Him who has promised an eternity of
bliss to them who make His word the
standard of their faith, and Ilis service
the measure of their duty.
Neither the possession of riches nor im
munity from pain constitute real happi
ness. We have seen the poor and the af
flicted with the light of a joy beaming
from their countenances, which nothing
but a God-given contentment could have
inspired. We do not say that all men can
be Christians, but we do believe that no
real Christian can he seriously unhappy;
and we have often wondered that, iD the
great contest after happiness, there are so
comparatively few who seek its attainment
through so eertain a channel. A clear
conscience, a contented mind, and a firm
faith in the protecting care of Him who
notes even the falling of the sparrows, are
the true sources of happiness, and these
the poor may have equally with the rich.
The Christian virtues are essential to hap
piness, and knowing this, it is remarkable
that the world’s energies are directed to
its attaiment by every other means than
these. Show us a contented man, and we
will show you both a happy and a Chris
tian one.
Bo ends this moral homily, inspired by
that little imp, the editor's evil genius, who,
lacking the contentment of which we
preach, rondel's himself and us unhappy by
an unceasing demand for “more copy.”
or a letter received here, says a
Washington dispatch, from un officer of
the 15th colored troops, on duty on the
Rio Grande, opposite the Mexican town of
Rinosa, says Cortinas and his thieving band
were there the other day, and levied a tax
to the amount of 8*2,000 in gold. “Corti
nas is looked upon by the respectable por
tion of the inhabitants as nothing more
than a guerrilla and thief, but he has so
large a number of adventurers with him
that it is policy to humor linn. Since we
have been in Texas he has captured two
Mexican boats, and has them tied up on
the Texas side of the river. The author
ities winked at it. From what I cun see,
there is still r doubt in the minds of the
intelligent portion of the Mexicans as to
what to do. They say, unless the United
States take the matter in hand, it will be
impossible for them to undertake to drive
out the invader; but they are in hopes that
the sending of our troops down here means
something, and they are very kind to us.

is quite important.
Cotton at Jefferson comes in briskly.
The Shrevesport South Western, of the

the exhorbitant prices of freight in New

The Wertz Trial.
Washington, October 14.—The Werta
commission reassembled to-day. Judge Ad
vocate Chipman made some remarks exone
rating Dr. Mudd from the charges made
against him by witness Delby yesterday
that he Mudd in two instances removed his
thumb from the arteries of prisoners so as
to allow the blood to spirt in the faoe of the
Doctor assisting him and laughed at it as if
it was something fanny. It was not his,
Chipman’s, intention nor that of the oonrt
to attach blame too improperly to anybody.
Col. Chipman then offered in evidenoe the
consolidated return of Andenonville Prison
ers dated September 11th, 1864, with the
view of renewing the idea that Werts was ab
sent during the month.
During the proceedings Baker made re
marks to which Chipman replied that the
counsel had assumed an a faot that which
was not true.
Baker said if the truth did not show the
fact to be as he stated, he would not ask
another question.
Col. Chipman—The burden is on ths
counsel to show it.
Baker said the Government had refused
to subpoena Mr. Bowles.
Col. Chipman said that was false.
Gen. Wallace here interposed, and said
the controversy must close.
Baker—l ask court—
Gen. Wallace—The explanation has gone
far enough. Take your seat.
Baker resumed his seat —I wish to ask
the oourt a question. 1 will oomot the
statement outside.
Gen. Wallace to Mr. Baker: Youroourse
is becoming intolerable. Do you wish to
proceed with case B ? if lam allowed the
same privilege the government is. Judge
W yan has been ordered to go on with the
examination of witness B. Ido not diso
bey the order of the court. Tho Judge
here subsided and the examination was re
sumed. The witness then testified that he
was one of a delegation of aix persons ap
pointed to come to Washington and present
a petition to the U. S. authorities for an ex
change of prisoners. Gen. Winder and
Werts assenting to the errand. Chipman ob
jected to this, there was no evidence to show
that the original petition ever reached the
(J. S. authorities. B. said so far from con
spiring, that Wertz sent prisoners to the
U. S. government to effect an exchange.
The court was cleared for deliberation and
decided to sustain 001. Chipman’s objec
tion.
The Burnt District.
That our country friends and such oi
our citizens as do not come “down town”
may have some idea of the rapidity with
which the “Burnt District” is being re
built, we have jotted down some of the im
provements in progress:
On Main street, between Eighth and
Thirteenth, thirteen bouses have been built
and are occupied, while thirty-two others
are being pushed rapidly to completion.
Most of these are substantial brick build
ings, and among them are throe banking
establishments—Tho National Bank ol
Virginia, corner ol Eleventh and Main
streets, Lancaster & Co’s., opposite the
old Exchange Bank, and Purcell's, corner
of Main and Thirteenth streets—each of
which will be very handsome structures
when completed. Most oi the houses re
ferred to have iron fronts to the first story,
and are built with the design of being made
four stories high, though some of them
will not for the present be roofed in over
the second story, the remainder of the
building to be added hereafter.
On Cary street five buildings, all briek
but one, have been completed and are oc
cupied. Nineteen others are being built
The three tenements being erected corner
of Cary and Thirteenth streets by Messrs.
Harvey, Armstead, & Williams, will be
one oi the handsomest business houses to
be found in any city.
On Fourteenth street two iron front
tenements of four stories are near comple
tion, and twelve others, all brick, are going
U P- m
On Thirteenth street one building is
completed and seven others progress
ing.
On Twelfth street two wood tenements
have been finished, and one handsome
brick house of two iron front tenements is
under way.
On tenth street a handsome coach shop
and Snyder’s machine shop, connected
with his foundry, are almost ready for oc
cupation.
Two buildings on Bank street are near
ly finished.
Thus we see that in the “Burnt District”
twenty-two buildings have been rebuilt and
occupied, and eighty others are in various
stages towards completion—all of them
used or to be used for mercantile purposes.
This statement does not include premises
where work has been begun cleanng out
foundations, or £he number of houses be
gun and completed on the basin bank. We
think that the amount of work which, even
from our imperfect showing, appears to
have been done by our people in the
tast three or four months is sufficient to
establish their claim to do common de
gree of energy and enterprise.— Richmond
