STEPHENS BEFORE THE RECONSTRUCTION COMMITTEE. * The testimony of this Georgia statesman before the Reconstruction Committee must elevate him in the minds of her citizens, and endear him to their affections. He has shown himself from the commencement of ■ the conflict betVeen the North and South an eminently wise man—as one of an admirably balanced mind, deserving of the highest po sition in public affairs. The committee of fifteen appear to have been resolved, not only to learn Mr. Stephen’s views on the present state of political opinion in Georgia, but his own abstract views on the principles of par government; and he, in that spirit of candour which is one of the most conspicu ous traits of his .character, made what may be called “a clean breast of it." 1 He. drew the line between an abstract right and the practical assertion of that right with admira ble judgment and discrimination. There are many in the South who entertain precisely similar opinions to those expressed by Mr. Stephens, who resisted as long as resistance promised to be effectual, the conflict of arm* in the assertion of the reserved sovereignly of the States, but who, when the conflict came acknowledged that to the States of which they were citizens “to the manor born,’’ the ultimate allegiance was due. Mr. Stephens was in that category ; so was Gen. Lee. If the general question is brought before the Supreme Court, this, of double allegi ance with that of the limits of State soverigu- ty, trill be presented. The construction given by that court to the Constitution will be a netv settlement of the relations ' between the Federal and State Governments. As the convention of 1787 established, for a period of eighty years, the real character of these relations, so will that tribunal, as the great expounder of the Constitution, settle the questions (for how long a period no one can say) which have been re-opened by late events. The great lights which shed so great a lustre on the deliberations of that august assembly—the Franklins, the Hamil- ' tons, the Madisons, the Randolphs, the Ma sons—the most illustrious men of the South as well as the North, were unanimous in their views as to the reserved rights of the States ; we shall soon perceive when the Supremo Court assembles, to what extent its exposi tion of the Constitution is in harmony with not only those great lights, but those lumin aries that presided in that tribunal at its first organization, the Marshalls, the Starys, and the “Washingtons. age. . Among the targe number of gentlemen on board eu route for this piece and intermediate points, were Gen. Tiltaon, in charge of the Freedman’s Bu reau of Georgia, Gen. Gordon of Brnnawick, and Gen. Wayne of Savannah. The first named gentleman whose headquarters are at Augusta, will visit severa. localities in the northwestern portion of the State, for The purpose of adjusting some matters of a busi ness character between the whites and blacks. 6en-.. Gordon and Wayne have embarked in the lumber business at or near Brunswick, ai^d are now actively engaged in the erection of a large number of saw milts, which, when completed, will make that hitherto unim portant point one of the principal lumber marta in tile South. ; W- Fcmandina is one of the few Southern towns favor ably situated for commerce, which have not recovered, as yet, from the disastrous effects of the late war. This may be attri buted partly to the Inability of the Directors of the Florida Road, which connects this jiotot with Cedar Keys, on the Gulf Coast, to make ar. rsngements at an early period alter the return of peace for repairing the damage it sustained during the war. Another circumstance which has operated prejudicially to the interests of the town and road was the protracted imprisonment of Mr. Yulee, to whosp linanciai ability and indomitable energies the State is mainly indebted, not only for thta but for other im portant branches of internal, improvement within her border. I am pleased to learn that since the’releaae of thi9 gentleman ho has resumed his position as the Chief Manager of this enterprise. It is now confi dently predicted that by the middle of May the trains will be running as of yore from one terminus to the other. This place, which has been the commercial outlet for at least two-thirds of the marketable products of the State since the ending of the war, is improving very rapidly; and if its present career of prosperity should not be checked by the reuewal gf railway com munication between the interior and Femandnia, ■uus.t soon secure an amount of wealth and popula tion which will give it unquestionable prominence in the commercial future of the State. I have not yet baeu able to gather any definite infor mation in regard to agricultural affairs in the ipTertor, but will bo able to speak advisedly upon the subject in my next. BMMjamiiii aaaaa rMi* . cutive Committee of the Southern Relief Fair, held in Baltimore on Tuesday last, it was resolved to instruct the Treasurer and Auxiliary Committee to forward, with the f least possible delay, money and provisions to relieve the most pressing needs of the unfor tunate people iu the State of Georgia.. This action was taken in consideration of the de plorable condition of the people of this State as set forth in a letter of Gov. Jenkins re cently published. The plan for distribution of the Kinds accruing from the Fair has no t been determined upon, but it is believed that the nature of the appeal of Gov. Jenkins jus tifies the prompt action of the committee. As will be seen from the following telegram, $2,000 in cash has been forwarded, and $G,- 000 of provisions come to Savannah on Thurs day next by steamer North Point, the agent of the line, Mr. J. Brandt, Jr., kindly con senting to forward it at half rates. Mr. Crichton has advised the Governor by letter of the shipment, the consignees in Sa vannah, being Messrs. Crane &Grayl>iil. He requests the Governor to instruct them with regard to the forwarding of the supplies to the central points which he, injhis judgment, may consider best: Baltimore, April 13, 1865. TV) His Excellency, the lion. Clias. J- Jenkins, (/or- ernur of the State cf Georgia, Milledgevilte, Ga. ; You are authorized to draw at sight on Mrs. Peyton Harrison, Treasurer of the Baltimore Southern Keliet Fair, for two thousand dollars (J2.000) for distribution among your truly poor, suffering people. Flour and provisions will be shipped immediately to Savannah, to your order for the same purpose. Particulars by mail. By order of the President, Wm. Cbichton. This telegram was sent over the wires free ? of charge by the American Telegraph Com puny. The price would have been $12 50 Col. Wm. M. Wad ley, President Georgia Central Railroad, and Maj. John Screver, President Albany and Giiif Railroad, have kindly offered to transport the goods over the respective roads free of charge. Messrs. Crane & Graybill have also offered to forwurd the goods free of expense in Savannah. Literary. CiTERitT and Violet ; a Tale of tile Great Piagv. Under the guise of a touching little romance, the authoress of the above named work has given a deep ly interesting narativc of the frightful plague which ravaged London in 1605; and also a short but thrilling account of the dreadful Are which, raging three days and nights, destroyed thirteen thousand houseB in the same city. Written In a concise bat flowing and easy style, the story holds the attention of the reader nnwearied throughout, who feels none of the ex haustion which attends the reading of works of the popular sensational school of the present day. We are glad to notice in “Cherry and Violet,” and in many of the late publications of our best story-writers, a growing tendency towards a simplicity and purity of language, savoring delightfully of the days of Gold- smith, Johnson and Pope. We have become so painfully familiar with the latest Style of heroine, viz; -the dark browed nez retrousse* tigress-hearted woman” who at present take* the price of onr former -flashing brunette,” the “sister of the artless (often witless) blonde.” that the quain 1 genuine “Little Cherry” of this book comes refresh' ingly novel to our minds. The thoroughly pure and sweet English she uses forms a most pleasing contrast to the ludicrous mixture of baa French, worse Italian, and totally incomprehensible German which pervade^ the majority of tha woaka in which the aforesaid <2ark hroxrta, dc„ /C. »une is to bo found.

Outrages off Kcgro Troops In Mississippi. [Correspondence of the Baltimore Gazette.] Natchkz, April 7 th, I8CC. This community is much agitated on account ol .-ionic recent outrages committed by negro troopa, not under proper discipline. The : outrages are of such a nature that I think myself justified m asking you to give them publicity, in order that the world may have some taint idea of the humiliations and insults vre aro subjected to by riegro troops and their infamous olh- c. s*. A very large hotel was set on Are by incendia ries two weeks ago in this city. The negro soldiers got liquor, and becoming intoxicated, got into a row •mu attempted to steal and plunder during the excite ment of the fire. The police interfered. The negroes shot one of the policemen, and pursued another a square, trying to kill him. The officer in command, .U’Galet, who is notorious as having been the leader of ihoTiand of negro troops who committed the terrible outrages on Sicily Island, which were so diabolical, ordered that these transactions should not bo pub lished. However the officers of justice have succeeded in securing the murderers and bringing them to trial. Whether they will be allowed to carry out the decision of the court remains to be seen. Last Friday, the 29th of March, ten nogro soldiers from the Cth United States heavy artillery, ccdorod, went at night, seven and a half miles distance from Natchez, to the residence of Mr. E. G. Rogillio, a planter, and cl decant Confederate soldier, a young man of twenty-four years, an only son, a quiet, good, respectable, and, four years ago, a wealthy citizen. They called him from his room, addressing him by Ins fittbrlquel of “Mass Bose,” a name that was given him by the servants in the neighborhood. As soon as lie arrived at the door of his apartment he was seized, carried out into the yard and h«ld under guard whilst the negro soldiers pillaged ths house and grossly in sulted the ladies of ths fumly—bis mother and sisters. They then brought some olothss to him, which they forced him to put on. They carried him off with them. The gentlemen of ths neighborhood started out the next morning in searoh of young Rogillio. They searched the forests, the bayous, dragged the ponds and creeks without success, until Sunday morning, when Dr. Douglass Bisland, on his way into Natchez, ac cidently rode into s thicket of wood near Mr. George Marshall’s residence, three miles from Natchez, where he discovered lying dead upon the ground, about forty yards from the high road, the body of Mr. Uogillio. He had evidently been fearfully tortured and mutilated jirevioua to being shot through the heart. One eye was pierced by a bayonet wouud, right forefinger cut ofl‘, head mashed, finger marks ou I the throat, lace terribly bruised, one wound iu the ab domen, a bayoneut wound in the left side, shot both ! by minnie and pistol balls, and his front teeth knocked our. Any one of the numerous wounds would have been mortal. The body was so injured that it had to be interred immediately without change of clothes, it is currently reported that aftolOeneral addressed his negro troop9 a few days since, CdTising them to “cut and slash the d—d rebels wherever they met them.” In the quarters of Levin Wailea there are twelve houses occupied by negro vagrants, who live by steal ing,. and have their rendezvous, greatly to the annoy ance of the citizens. This fact has been reported to THE RECONSTRUCTION COMMITTEE AGREE UPON AN ULTIMATUM. The Fonr Conditions.

City Treasurer. lie acted well his part Is, that he coma out of the anny as poor as any ono, giving all he had to the can.se he loved so well. He served in this department up to the time of the evacuation of this city, after which lie served in Gen. Jos. E. Johnson’s army to the time said ttrmy surrendered to the United Sates authorities at Grecnsbory’, N. C. With the exception of a few month iu 1861, he remained in the army during the whole war. His military career was “without spot or blemish” upon his character as a private, an officer or eutleman. Wo need not add that ho is fully qualified to fill the position he now asks from the voters of Chat ham county. He is a lawyer by education, a graduate of the Lumpkin Law School of the State of Georgia. At the time of his return to Savannah in June, 1865, after many urgent solicitations from the “paroled prison ers" ho consented to deliver an addreaa for the bene fit of a disabled young member of the Savannah Volunteer Guards, who had lost both eyes, that he might help the ladies of thiscity in sending this bravt youth to an asylum in Baltimore to learn a trade for his support. A more charitable or patriotic under taking few have had the honor to perform with such credit. He again, ever ready to assist the citizens of his county, delivered an address before the Metro politan Fire Engine Company (of which he is a mem ber,) which address wo are inclined to believe will not be forgotten by those who had the privilege of listening to the esteemed orator. We therefore call upon yon to give him tbo office, which we are confident he will fill with credit to him self and to his county, and which he justly deserves— none presenting stronger claims to the same, either on account of his military careor or his ability.— Citizens of Chatham support our soldier friend, one who stood true to the last iu our cause, and who has done all in his power to assist those who suffered with us in that cause. Support him citizens 1 support him soldiers t “Your poor heart can now be at ease, be at rest; One comfort is yours, that the noblest and best— You stood by your banner, you heard the last gun, And can now say with pride—‘I, my duty have done.’ ” i>.
