Shame, Where is thy Blasli I Since the close of the war nothing has happened which will so shock the moral sense ot the civilized world as the recent con duct and remarks of Gov. Pierpout in ref erence to his refusal to permit Gen. Colston to deliver his lecture on General Stonewall Jackson in the Hall of the House ot Dele- pates. We had supposed, during tbe great Evolution just ended, if there was one char acter who hud acted his part in the terrrible tragedy, and had passed from among us -to render an account of his stewardship on earth, in whom all the elements were so blended as gave the world the assurance of a man, it was Gen. T. J. Sackson. We had thought that the exalted reputation of the citizen, the exemplary character of the'Chris tian, and the brilliant exploits of the soldier lmd rendered the character of Jackson wor thy the admiration of every man who honored virtue, truth and manliness, and hud made him not only worthy the pride of Virginians, but a pride to the American name; nay, an honor to the human race. We venture the assertion that Gov. Pierpout will remain for all time to conic almost, if not a solitary exception, without distinction of party, section or ua- lionulity, Who sees nothing in the character i ^ meeting must naturally be after such a protracted of Jackson to admire. And with the lol [Correspondence of the N. Y. Herald.] Fobtbess Monboe, May 3, 1866. Mrs. Jeff. Davis arrived here this morning. Her youngest child, a sprightly girl, twenty months old, a colored man-servant, possessing the stalwart form and fierce moustache of a Kussian grenadier, four trunks of Immensely large proportions, and a travelling basket of the largest pattern, bore her company. Upon land ing she went to the Hygcia Hotel, adjacent to the wharf, and without stopping to change her travelling dress, or even removing her bonnet, breakfasted and then sent a message inside the fort, announcing her arrival and the permission from President Johnson she bore with h«r to visit her husband. Meantime tbe news of her presence at the hotel spread rapidly, and a reti nue of anxious persons soon gathered about to get a look at her. With admirable imperturbability, not to say an agreeable equanimity of temper—probably the result, to some extent, of past similar experiences— she submitted to the painful necessity of being gazed at. Time, that old and stern teacher of wisdom, and unerring revelator of the mutabilities of earthly dy nasties and hopes, has very sensibly changed her from the haughty and defiant woman she was a year ago. Her tone is more subdued, her manners more quiet and reserved, and she does not seek tp shine as re splendency in flashing diamonds and costly laces. She has a much older look—the look of a woman who has long borne the burden of grief and waged war with conflicting doubts and hopes. But a poor student of physiognomy is he who does not still read in that face and penetrative glance of those eyes a power of will and determination as strong and pertinacious as life it self. At half-past eight o’clock Lieutenant Fessenden- Fifth United States Artillery, waited upon her to es cort her inside the fort. Her child accompanied them. She was taken to General Miles’ headquarters, who received her with every politeness and consideration duo her position. Under other circumstances she might have striven more sedulously, perhaps, to evoke the most favorable impression possible upon the custodian of her husband, but her great anxiety was to proceed at once to her husband's place of con finement and see him. She wanted to see how he had borne his imprisonment, whether he was sick or well, and learn all al?out him. She was not long kept in anxiety Mr. Davis had been apprised of her cqming. Within fifteen minutes from the time of her admission to the fort she was with him in Carroll Hall. Lieut. Fessenden still bore her company. She has remained with Mr. Davis all day, and took her dinner with him. An officer has been constantly in the same room. Their meeting was a tender and affecting one, as such Washington, May 4.—An interview has taken place between the President and a committee appointed by tbe Texas State Convention, who delivered to him an official copy of the ordinance adopted by that body. J udge Hancock concluded^his address, by saying: “We should feel that we had only partially performed our duty to the people of our State, were we to omit expressing to your Excellency our cordial approbation of your course as President of the United States, and particularly our approval of your restoration policy Your wise and patriotic course in behalf of the equal rights of all sections of the country- has revived fresh hope in many a desponding heart that the generation which has exeperienced the most terrible shock of civil war in modern times, will see civil and costitu- tional liberty restored throughout the entire land. “We thank you in the name of the people of Texas for the noble and patriotic stand you have taken in behalf of Constitutional Government The olive branch of peace extended to us by your kindly hand we accept in grateful spirit, and pledge to you the sup port, earnest and thorough, of the people of Texas in all measures that will tend to restore the State to* its pristine position among the States of the American Union. May God preserve your Excellency many years in health and prosperity—an instrument under His guidance to restore the Government of our fathers and preserve the liberties of the people.” THE PRESIDENT’S REPLY. lowiu^ extract from the report ot the Rich mond Examiner, of the opening ot Gen. Col stons lecture, we propose to leave this wor thy Governor alone in his unenviable glory : UulU'6 and Gentlemen :—I had hoped to-night to have addressed you in another place, but in a convor- nauon which has been accurately reported in one of the morning papers, [the Examiner] the Governor of Virginia ret used me the use of the Hull of the House of Delegates for uny “such purpose as to deliver a • ulogy on the most honored and beloved son Virginia nas produced in modern times, triisses.) (In order that the reader may better know tiic character of this ‘‘conversation’’ to which General Colston alludes, and the accuracy of which lie testifies to, we reproduce it here, as printed in the Examiner ot la6t Thursday, tin. Examiner.] * * The Hall of the House of Delegates should invtt been offered to Gen. Colston without solicitation, but, m default of that fitting courtesy, he approached thu so-called “Governor” of Virginia to ask for it. The following brief dialogue will A show how he and his application were received. Uu entering the Governor’s room, Gen. Colston pre sented to him the letter of invitation he had received from many of our most jiromineut citizens, which was taken and read. As the Governor returned the letter, General Colston remarked pleasantly: ••Governor. I suppose now that the war is over, that every Virginian feels a pride in the fame and charac- Urnf ‘Stonewall’ Jackson.” Cierpoint.—“Nosik ; 1 feel nojiride in Jackson as a Virginian, and can see nothing in hie character wor thy of admiration.” After some further remarks, Pierpout asked, con temptuously, “What is there in the character of Jack- sou to admire ? He was a kiud of crazy enthusiast, with a good deal of bigotry otX’romwell in him. That vyas all.” *}< it- 'ill Colston,—“I merely called, sir, to ask you it l .-••uld get the use ot the hall for my lecture.” Pinpont.—“No. sir!” (very emphatically.) “I will nut lend the Hall of the House of Delegates for any Nith purpose !” Amt then he again asked, derisively, “What was there- in the character of Jackson to admire * •it un til Colston.—“It is useless for us who difl'er ?= • widely, sir, to discuss that subject. You must ex cuse me lor doing so. Good morning.” And the General departed. lu viotuug bid ttblo ami eutertaiQiug lif.ure, General Colston, Limselt' a ills tmeuisbed and worthy follower of the dis tinguished soldier, very truthfully remarks: Hi WHS beloved by his soldiers, admired by bis enemies and tbe world. Jarksou’s name WA3 honored - an [ j,,. world over, by friends and foes alike, and It iv'ia reserved for one to no eaUs himself the Governor c .r Virginia to sag that he felt no soil of pride in Jackson, and could see nothing for admiration in character, but the soldiers who fought- him did not think so; the soldiers of the Federal army always respected and appreciated him. The soldiers of both armies had not been unmindful of the generous spirit exhibited by both of their great leaJers; it was only iku demagugnes, who kept out of the battle, that kept howling tor blood and confiscation. Tile Policy of Humanity. .General Frank P. Blair, of Missouii, one ot the few Republican politicians who ilia- tiuguished himself by personal gallantry, has lately written a letter to a meeting in 8t- Louis, in which he gives utterance to the fol lowing magnainmous and generous senti ments He says, in speaking of the Radicals: ••Such persons are most persistent in urging meas- 'livs .1 unnecessary harshness and indignity, in order i 'imtjteand goad our vanquished opponents into not a >ii resistance which will justify the infliction of still greater cruelty. If those brave and unfortunate people could only be driven by their insults and con tumely to such acts it would fill the soul of their ma- iiguant persecutors with unspeakable joy and satisfac tion, b- cause it would afford the pretext they seek to d-iiv to the iSoUtbcrn people the rights of freemen and tree States. These Jacobins feel and know that it is necessary to disfranchise the white race at the South affording them their only chance of retaining power and position. “What civilized nation on earth would hesitate an instant, if the opportunity offered, to incorporate with themselves the brave and heroic people of the South, who?.- Fortitude and endurance, in a mistaken cause. 1 kallcLge the admiration and respect of the world ? Would France or England, or any other civilized paver, heistate to give such men the full and equal rights accorded to all other citizens ? Would not those nations be most happy to claim as their own such men ■if- Lee and Johnston, and a host of others, and to con fer upon those living heroes the rewards which genius and courage have always commanded? Would they fail to Louor and cherish, as apart of their own glory, h.'- memory ot that illustrious throng of the dead, led ,; y Stonewall Jackson ? Their fame belonged to our tisino and nation, and their survivors, animated by an c lual courage sud devotion, and inspired by what we iiopeand believe is a better cause, will hereafter con- triouto equally with the noble spirits of the North to ftie renown of our great Hepublic. ‘ Kilow-citizeus, those who wish .well to thecoun- • > and would secure its greatest happiness, can have b fiigber aspiration than that the peace you celebrats be perpetual. ’With respect, yours, ' “FRANK P. BLAIR.” In publishing tbe above extract, the Cin- f unati Enquirer says “these are the senti- Ilj tnts ef every one who would lay claim to fin: title of statesman nr patriot. They are •he views of all who desire to see peace and S'-'Oil feeling once more prevail between the factious of our common country.

Of all ■deas which ever entered the human mind, Unit of treating the people of eleven great States, one-third of our whole population, fieiing j u their sovereign capacity, as criminals and outlaws, is the most pre posterous and atrocious. Yet such ia the v ’ieiv of the radicals. Such is the pro gramme they have put forth to the country. ^ is difficult to say whether cowardice or cruelty is the greatest element in their scheme. Both are largely in it and assist to tonke up the revolting compound.” Sharp.—The correspondent of Nuremberg narrate, an Winsing incident connected with the dispute in Oirmany. Several Her in mi states having expressed a (Osh to provide their troops with “needle guns,” i ' r uwu obligingly furnished them with the arms re- quired and took their old muskets in exchange. As, however, the new rifles can only be used with ammu nition furnished by tlffi PruaBisn -government, Prus- va may, by withholding it, prevent a shot from being ed oy those States without her consent. in to, ml'? ^onnto Wednesday ordered that the govern- with h ,‘ftising in Washington be given to the paper another ^ rge8t circulation. Thia will give Forney separation, and particularly under the circumstances attending their separation. And we let the curtain drop over their talks of the past, their realizations of the present and hopes for the future. She confesses finding Mr. Davis in better health than she had ex pected; but still avers that he is much feebler than when brought here. She is every way satisfied with the treatment he has received, and acknowledges that everything, saving his restoration to liberty, has been done for him that could be. To Dr. Cooper, his medi cal attendant and adviser, she is especially thankful, and gives the unqualified credit of keeping him so well and cheerful as he Is. It is not known yet whether she will stay at Dr. Cooper’s during her so journ here or at tho Hygeia Hotel. It ia also not known yet how long she wiU remain here. Mrs. Davis left Montreal on Monday at three P. M. She has traveled night and day to get here. Tho President thanked the Committee for tho kind and complimentary manner in which their Chairman had alluded to hia efforts in restoring the States lately in rebellion and insurrection to their primitive rela tions with thu Government of the United States. He was gtetified to learn from them the unanimity of the people ot Texas who had accepted the results of the war. He expressed the hope that the State of Texas, together with all of the other Stato9 so recently in re bellion, would soon be restored to their normal con dition in the Federal Government, and that their citi- zens, while bearing its burdens, would be admited to' a full participation in its blessings and protection. Tbe President said he had the utmost confidence in the ultimate restoration of the Union, and that time and patience would solve the problem. Much would depend on the people of the state of Texas, if they coutinued in the good work bo auspiciously begun) and by obedience to law demonstrate their loyalty to the Government. Then, he trusted, the * day would not be far distant when the work of restoration would be completed by the admission of their Senators and Representatives to fill vacant places in Congress.

Lee’s Testimony—The True Pollcy to be Pursued Toward the South. [From the London Times, April 19.] The utmost that can reasonably be expected from a people situated like the Virginians is such a political conformity as Gen. Lee declared to exist. It ia barely twelve months since these men were engaged in one of the most desperate wars of modem times—a war fought out to “the bitter end” with every circum stance of passion and fury. To expect that tbey should now look with positivo affection on their con querors, condemn their most eminent countrymen as traitors and repudiate as abominable the principles for which they sacrificed their fortunes and staked their lives is beyond all reason. It is enough if they know themselves beaten, if they accept the results without reserve, if they cherish no idea of deferred rebellion, and if they are prepared to return to their former position with a resolution to perform all their duties as citizens, and with a readiness to roceivo the warmer impressions which time and intercourse may bring. These are actually the feelings with which Gun. Lee describes them as now animated. More, it must be evident, could not be expected; but if more is desired it is manifest that the result can only be secured by that very policy which the President has avowed, and which the radicals are so fanati cally opposing. If something is still to be done—as nobody need deny—before a Virginian can look upon the'Uiiion as he looked ton years ago, it can only be accomplished, as Gen. Lee affirmed, by liberal anti conciliatory conduct on thn part of the Government. If passivo acquiescence is to be converted into cordial sympathy, it must be by kind and generous treat ment. ” Civil Authority Kully Restored. The following order has just beeu issued by com mand of the President It clearly defines the extent of military authority, and restores all the privileges and protection of the law to all citizens who have uo connection with either the army or navy. At length we breathe freely : War Department, i Adjutant Giseral's Office, J Washington, May 1, 1886.1 [General Orders No. 2.6.) Whereas some military commanders are embar* rassed by doubts as to the operation of the proclama tion of the President, dated the 2d day ot April, 1866, upon trials by military courts-martial and military commissions. To remove such doubts, it is ordered by the President that — Hereafter, whenever offences committed by civilians are to ho triad where civil tribunals are in existence which can try them, their cases are not authorized to be, and will not he brought before military courts- martial or commissions, but will be committed to the proper civil authorities. This order is not applicable to camp followers, as provided for under the 60th Ar ticle ot War, or to contractors and others specified in section 16, Act of July 17, 1862, and sections 1 and 2 Act of March 2, 1868. Persons and offences cogniza ble by the Rules and Articles of War, and by the Acts of Congress above cited, will be continued to bo tried and punished by military tribunals as prescribed by the Rules bf Articles of War and (Acts of Congress, herealtoi- cited, to-wit: .Sixtieth of the Hales and Articles gf War.—All sutlers and retainers to the camp, and all persons whatsoever Serving wilh the armies of the United Stales in the field, though not enlisted soldiers, are to be subjected to orders, according to tho rules aud dis cipline of war.

Nearly every m ithizmg South than Uipy have aireaav uur- »hrt.theu, r.Miimh heads! They do not inn p&thizing aoum man i.npy navq * to improve Southern feeling, they propose to iiimet political disgrace and humiliation on the Southern people. They pronounce them to be still disaffected, or not-sufficiently well affected, and, by way of coucil- aling them, would condemn them to alienation and outlawry. Such a policy stands self-convicted, ror its only result must be to make bad worse. It is not probable that a Virginian looks upon the Government of the Union exactly like a New Eng lander; no reasonable person would expect that he should do so. It is enough for the purposes of pru dent reconstruction if the States lately in secession have abandoned all ideas of independence, aud are prepared to make the best of their position us mem bers of the Union once more. The rest must necessa rily be a work of time, but it will be accomplished most speedily, as well as most surely, through such a policy as the President now advocates. He does not desire to swamp the South with a swarm of black voters, nor to place the. negro m a position of invidi ous and perilous antagonism toward the white man. He asks only for simple professions of political hones ty. s . He stipulates that the Southern States shall fore go their views oi secess.on, acknowledge and confirm the abolition of slavery now and forever, deal fairly with the enfranchised slaves, aud repudiate the debt contracted for the purpose of tho rebellion.' To these conditions they are willing to assent, and tho Presi dent would open the doors of Congress to them and t>o restore the Union. What his opponents desire, or profess to desire, we may collect from the examina tion to which General Lee was subjected. They de mand impossibilities, for it is simply absurd to re quire that the South should humbly and thankfully kiss the rod after tho fashion they prescribe. The policy of the President, on the other hand, is a policy not only of moderation, but of promise. It bids fair to bring back the South to those sentiments of per fect concord which the radicals pretend to demand. It is Gen. Lee’s opinion that such a policy, aided by the indispensable co-operation of time, will really pro duce this effect, but it needs no argument to show that a policy of provocation and oppression continued after victory must intensify and perpetuate that very hostility which it is intended to extinguish. T reason In Georgia. An extract from a private letter from Georgia, to a gentleman in this city, says: “Our country here is in turmoil, and talks loudly of war. To the shame of many who have held high po sitions formerly, they prophecy another clash of arms. The President, according to their plan, is to l»e tho head of the rebels, and then ‘wo poor secesh will get i .x.* ” lg ia to be all on the „ _ man talks war. What >lish heads! They do not inina that a |K>wer ner» to do in that event. I hope that this will prove only a temporary Hurry. It all depends on Johnson; though I believe that at his nod all this section would rally to him against Congress in twenty-four hours, and be ready to organize for another con test.”—Detroit Dost. We give the above as a specimen of the letters that are written North by radical enemies in our inid9t. Tlie Caster Celebration at Rome. The London Times' correspondent ia Borne writes that the Easter observances in April were impres sive. As soon as High Mass was finished in St. Pe ter’s thousands thronged out of the church, and then the Papal procession, each individual clothed in the gay and splendid habiliments of Ea9ter, emerged and ascended the “ Scala Begis,” pausing now and then, however—canons and bishops and cardinals—to turn round and gaze downward and through the long cor ridor, on the mass of human beings which extended far as the eye could see to the Ponte St. Angelo. Meanwhile the great bell of St Peter’s announced the approach of the Vicar of Christ; there was the most profound silence, and then a few moments later, the buzz of a multitude of voices, the shouts of officers to their troops, and the sound of the trumpets told that Pius IX had taken his place in the balcony from which he and his predecessors had so often blessed the city and the world. A scene of marvelous grandeur it was, and yet one marked by contradictions. Full eighty thousand faces gazed upwards on one venerable old man who, though physically weak, controls the minds of millions, and holds empires in continual agitation. # Below were swords and bayonets aud cannons—above were the crosier and the cross ; below were brilliant uniforms and men of war on foot and on horsebaok—above were priests of Christ aud the representative of the Prince of Peace himself. Raised aloft in his chair of State the Pope recited a prayer, and in so clear a voice that not a tone was lost; then stretching forth his arms as if to embrace the multitude, he gradually withdrew them, clasped them in the attitude of silent prayer, and finally bestowed his bemliction on the city and tho world. The cannon of St. Angelo announced the fact; cannon from other points repeated it; one after another they thundered away, while all the bells in Rome chimed in and swelled the general chorus. The day terminated with that magic spectacle, the brilliancy and fairy beauty of which no political or religious feeling can mar. Standing on Monte Pincio, for instance, there is soon after Ave Maria, a sudden burst of light, and by some invisible architect a temple rises in the heavenfi, tlie cupola of such ex cellent proportions that the mere beauty of its form attracts and fixes the eye ; but then also it is radiant with and formed of light. Once, twice it changes, and then at the sound of the great bell the silver is changed for the gold. It is almost too beautiful, as an Italian would say, and otten as I have seen it, I joined in them voluntary exclamations of wonder which burst from the crowds about me. Aud miuated the Easter of 1866 in Rome. ter- Mexico. CHIHUAHUA L’APTUBED BY TRELIBERALS- HARD FIGHT- 3an Francisco, May 2*:—Consul Goodey (liberal), has official commuications dated El Paso del Norte, March 3(ltb, annmincinc tbat the liborals took the city of Chihuahua March 26th, alter two days' liard fight- iug, capturing three hundred prisoners, among whom was Julio Carranca, the Imperial Mayor of Chihuahua. On the 23d tbe liberals captured the city of Hidalgo del Paoral by assault. These victories, it ia Bald, will restore the state of Chihuahua to the liberal govern ment. In Coahuila, at Santa Isabel, the liberals had (to feuted the imperialists, killing one hundred and thirty- one, and capturing one hundred and six. Brejant, the French commander, was slain. The enemy's artillery, baggage and munitions of war all fell into the hands of the liberals. — On Thursday last a torpedo, which had been sunk for three years and one month in Charleston harbor, exploded off the beach of Sullivan's leland, near bat tery “B,” in about eight fathoms of water. It is sup posed to have beeu exploded by the dragging of a ves sel’s cable. It lifted an immense volume of water, and presented quite a grand appearance. KT— The failing health of Jefferson Davis ia said to be the reason why the President has consented tfaliow Mrs, Davis to visit him. The Methodist Conference.—A New Orleans dispatch of the 1st insl. says: The probation system was to-day stricken out of the discipline by the Oeneral Conference. Class meeting made a privilege. No test of membership any longer. Church meet ings monthly were ordained. Love feast kept intact with closed doors. The Committee on Finance made a final report.— The salaries of ministers are to be regulated by their congregations. Bishops’ salaries are to be raised within the Episcopal Districts in which they labor. A Sad Catastrophe.—Capt. Faulkner, of the schooner Corsican, which vessel arrived at Oswego on tho 4th inst, from Hamilton, C- W., reports that when off' Oakville he picked up a skiff containing two boys nearly exhausted, and a girl who had died from expo sure. It was ascertained that the skiff had drifted out from Oakville with the two boys and three girls, but two of the girls were washed overboard and drowned. Their ages were under 15. Dead Duck Eoos.—We clip the following paragraphs from Forney’s Chronicle: The course of Andrew Johnson reminds ns of a man who deserted a bad cause (with which, in spite of all his professions, he heartily sympathized.) when con vinced that it was sure to fail, and who, after years of professed devotion to a good cause (to which he was as heartily opposed,) deserted it when he apprehend ed that it might succeed. “Let us take good oare to maintain ‘my policy’ within the lines of the Union party”—as the impeni- teut traitor says to the rejoicing Copperhead. Another Doo Fioht.—On Saturday night a dog fight came off at a saloon on Erie street, between the celebrated dog of ’Arry Jennings, of Boston, and “Pepper,” Joe Neil’s dog, of this city, which resulted in the death of Jennings’ dog, after a hard-cortested fight of two hours and twenty minutes. The dog killed, during the last three months, has fought iu Chicago, St. Louis, and other cities in the coimtry, for large sums cf money, and, until this last encoun ter, defeated his opponents in eWty instance.' No money was staked on the match. TYVas to have been for $500 or $1,000, but owing to some misunderstand ing, the money was not put up, and the dogs were fought on their “respective merit*.” Jennings, we understand after the fight, which result* ‘ of his “champion” dog, bought the Bail per,” the victor, paying $600 for him.—Buffalo Ex press. Disgraceful Scene in a Church.—A disgraceful scene, worse if possible than any ot the riots which led to Mr. King's retirement from St. George’s in the East, was witnessed at Northmoor, near Bristol, on Easter Sunday. The incumbent of Northmoore is an extreme “ritualist,'’ and great preparations were made in his church for the Easter Sunday service. On Satnrday night, however, the church wag entered, the decorations were destroyed, the clergyman's “rib bons”—aa tbe Bishop of London would ssy—were ent to pieces, and the sacramental wine was drunk. On Sunday morning the church was crowded to auffoca- tion by a mob of ruffians, some of whom coolly lighted their pipes and began to smoke, while others raised -the most discordant noisea. “We won’t go home till morning” being among the sounds which rendered it impossible to proceed with the service.— Engl ish Paper. Whitewashing a Fine Abt.—There is a strong probability, says the Richmond Times, of “Bummer Butler’’ being whitewashed into a Rtqte of moderate respectability. During the past fortnight his prospects have brightened very materially. In the first place, two valiant bank officials rushed into print to vindicate Butler from all suspicion of having pocketed the funds of a savings bauk. In the seednd place, the counsel of a New Orleans broker, named Smith, from whom Butler took fifty thousand dollars in gold, gave him u certificate last week that the seizure was properly made, and the cer tificate so delighted B. F. that he straight way paid over the fifty thousand dollars to Smith’s attorney. The certificate was well worth the money, and so emboldened Butler that he at once swore that the great rebel lion had bankrupted him. After the skillful whitewashing of Cata- line by Louis Napoleon in his life of Caesar, the elaborate defence of Nero and Calligula by Thomas De Quincey, and the complete vindication of-Judas Iscariot by a German philosopher, we think there is a strong prob ability of somebody’s making one of these days, a “whited sepulchre,” at least of But ler’s reputation. —It ia reported that “trichina spiralis” has ap peared in Quebec, breaking out upon tbe Ain of bosun beings.
