[From Our Regular Correspondent.]
Washington, May 5, 1866.
The Joint Committee’s programme of reconstruc
tion does not appear to give as much satisfaction to
the faithful everywhere as was expected, consider
able dissatisfaction being manifested with it among
the radical followers at home. The plan does not go
far enough to suit aome of the more advanced spirits.
It is considered here as merely a political movement,
made by the committee through policy to supply what
the country was calling for, a geographical plan. But
it is understood that the originators of the plan do not
expect to pass it. It is this consideration which pre
vents the extreme wing of the party from breaking out
into open mutiny. But for the assurance, that there
was no serious probability of the plan becoming the
law, the extreme radicals would more noisily mani
fest their discontent with it. The extreme radicals
think public sentiment at the North is ripening in
their favor. They hope too to profit by the patience
of tho South becomiug exhausted, and producing im
prudence. Hence they are willing for delay. The thousand and ten.

Dep&rtment for a valuable official document contain
ing a complete list and classification of the total casu
alties in the several armies raised in the various
States, to suppress the rebellion. We believe this is the
first time the public have had such a record, and we
give, therefore, a brief summary of its results, which
shows the aggregate death, on the battle field directi
and subsequently in hospitals from wounds, together
with the aggregate number of troops raised under all
calls, reduced to the three years standard :

It is said that there is an alliance offensive and de
fensive of the closest cli aracter between Stanton and
Seward. This is a curious fact, but there is no doubt
about its truth. If Stanton had announced himself
distinctly against the President’s policy at this junc

it is probable that upon the adiournthent of Con

From this, it appears first, that of killed in battle
and of wounds, there was ouc officer to every eighteen
enlisted men, showing greater suffering from tho
chances of* battle of officers, who, with full ranks, con
stitute about a twenty-fifth part of the army, than of
enlisted men. Secondly, it appears on the other hand,
that only one officer to every ninety men has died of
disease. The several cases of this remarkauid dispro
portion are evident. Officers are better sheltered than
unlisted men. Their food is generally belter in quality,
aud more varied in kind. They are not so much
crowded together in tents, and are therefore less sub-
ject to contagious and epidemic diseases, i’hey have
superior advantages in regard to personal cleanliness.
As prisoners of war, too, they are generally treated
more leniently. Another favoring and by no means
least potential cause of a psychological nature, is the
superior elasticity of spirit aud moral power ot endu
rance, which is given to a man by investing him with
a commission and its accompanying authority, respon
sibility and hopes of advancement.”
Another fact worthy of notice, is:
“ The extraordinary mortality among the colored
troops from disease. It is seen, that, while but two
thousand nine hundred and ninety-seven died iu ac
tion and-ot wounds, the enormously large number of
twenty-six thousand three hundred. and one died of
disease. Among the white troops the proportion of
deaths in action aud from wounds to the deaths from
disease, is about as one to two; among the colored
troops as 1 to 8. About, one hundred and eighty j
thousand yolored men were enlistecl in the army dur- i
ing the war,* of whom accordingly nearly one out of j
every seven died of disease. -Ifie general proportion !
among white troops is one to fifteen. These figures
indicate conclusively, that the pegro; in tho condition i
in* which, the war found-him, was less capable than !
the white man of enduring the trials, physical and*,
moral, of military service. It may be assumed, that !
where one died of. disease, at least five others were i
seriously sick, so that a very large proportion of the |
colored troops must have been constantly upon the :
sick list.”
A showing of this kind, it strikes us, is quite as apt ;
to provoke moral reflections as merely to enlarge one’s i
notions of military economy. The cruelty of making ]
the unhappy black race occupy so prominent a place !
in a war, for which lie is unfltted by nature, and in j
which death was his sure portion, will at once occur
to the xibilautbropic mind; while the inhumanity of i
the “ radical” clamor which insisted upon giving him j
that jiosition, will remain an eternal monument of
their heartlessness aud hypocrisy.

It grieves us to chronicle a most villainous outrage,
which transpired near this'city on Sunday night.—
Col. Benteen, late of the U. S. A., and Commander of
this post, purchased recently a farm near this city,
which be was improving for his own residence. Tho
farm lies about two and a half miles from tlie city, on
the McDonough road. For some time he has been oc
cupying a tent on the premises. His lady arrived
here on Friday night and was quietly domiciled with
him.
About ten o’clock on Sunday night, four men dres
sed in citizens’ clothes, went to his horsodot aud de
manded his horses,of tlie negroes. Tlie negrofcs re
fused to give them up aud the ruffians fired on them.
Healing the firing, the Colonel ran out of his lot to see
what was the occasion of it, and he was beset by the
four ruffians. Resolving to defend himself, he drew
his repeater and commenced firing, and fired until he
emptied it. In the meantime he was tired at by the
robbers, and snot twice in tho leg-and once in the hip.
The robbers then demanded his surrender, and think
ing further resistance would endanger the safety of
his wife, aud that the scoundrels were intent upon
robbery, he ceased resisting. They then told„ him
they wanted his fine roan horse, and bade him unlock
Ins stable. He told them to get iu as best they could.
They broke down the door, entered and took four fiue
horses and escaped with them. This was after they
iwd searched the colonel. They found nothing upon his
person, however, for as soon us he ascertained the in
tention of the marauders, he had cast his watch and
money into some bushes growing near, and secured
them again after the thieves had left.
During the firing Col. Benteen was shot iu three
places, but not dangerously. One negro was shot in
the head, one in the back, the pole of the tent ifi which
Mrs. Benteen was, was cut off above her. letting the
tent drop down upon her, and a small negro girl who
was iu the tent was. slightly wounded iu the back.
The Colonel says all four of the men were dressed
genteelly, and talked well.
No. fracQi of them had been discovered further than
their tracks to South river up to a lute hour yesterday
evening. A party of brave men, however, are out in
pursuit* of them, aud it is to be hoped that they will
be apprehended and brought to justice.
By an action of the last Legislature, the crim| of
horse stealing was made punishable by hanging. We
think tlie times demand a rigid enforcement of th»s
law, for the outrages committed by these horse thieves
are crippling the resources of the farmer, and retard
ing the progress of agriculture wherever such depre-

The Silk sAeb of South Carolina.—Dr. B. G. I
Wilder, late surgeon oi lhe 55th regiment Massacliu- ■
setts volunteers (colored), gave the first ol’ four lec- |
tures upon the -above subject, in Boston, Tuesday '
evening. The Jpurnal give the following brief but iu- !
teresting synopsis: c ^ j
The first of this species *of spider was discovered *
by the lecturer, on the north end of Folly Island, I
while iu camp there in August, 1863. He wound from
its body, in one hour and a quarter, one hundred and
fifty yards of yellow silk. The next year another offi j
cer wound from thirty spiders, three thousand foul !
hundred and eighty-four yards, or nearly two miles of i
Jhe silk. A single thread oi this was .strong enough i
to sustain a weight of from forty-four.to one hundred )
aud seven grains. In 1865 Dr. Wilder showed his
specimen to Prof. Aggasiz aud others, to whom the
species was new. lieturning to Charleston, he re
sumed his researches, and after a variety of adven
tures and disappointments, succeeded in getting &
number of the Spiders.
In the course of the season these all died, from lack !
of knowledge as to their habits, mode of living, &c. | -
From the eggs deposited, however, many others were '
produced. It is the habit of the stronger to devour
the weaker, so that out of several thousand only a few
hundred were raised. . The fact, however, was clearly
demonstrated that they could be raised and live
through a Northern winter. In the succeeding lec-
;s the nfetliod of securing the Silk, aud other facts
in regard to this interesting discovery will be given.'
Specimens of tlie silk were exhibited, which wore
of a golden yellow and a silver white, and as brilliant
as the metals in appearance. It is elastic, while the
silver colored thread is non-elastic, and is used for the
main stays of the web. Dr* Wilder has a lot oi these
ooiders living in the Cambridge Conservatory, and
many young uu«ms ... um m -
tor lias made full communications to the .American
Academy, and to the Boston Society of Natural His
tory.

Crinoline is Dead.—We .give a positive statement,
on the subject from d London letter, which our fail-
readers may take fyr what it is worth. The writer
says, under date 34st March:
“Talking of fashion, crinoline is done for. it has
gone out of the fashionable world all at once, like a
melting snow or a vanishing rainbow. How could a
poet say, ‘A thing of beauty is a joy forever?" Only
ibe servants and very common people now wear the
wonderful expansions, and they will drop tliqin as
soon as they get a good loot at their slim betters.
The sudden change is very droll. You meet a lady iu
the street, and look behind her to see n she has not
dropped something. The rotundities gradually col
lapsed, and all at once vanished, and are now, ‘though
iost to sight, to memory dear.’ But what is to become
of the manufacturers of those wonderful articles
which the French call cages? Can they be used iu
the fisheries; or foe hen-coops? Now we have the
gored dresses aud trains of tho first empire, which, iu
a month’s time; will seem so becoming aud beautiful
that we shall wonder how- w r e could ever have admired,
any other fashion.”

ANOTHER OPERATION OF THE KNIGH1S OF THE ROAD.
[From the Atlanta Intelligencer, 8th inst.]
A bold operation took place about a mile out on the
Peach-Tree road on Saturday. A two-horse Govern
ment wagon had been sent to the freeduien’s. camp to
convey rations, and was returning to the city empty.
When it had reached the corporate limits, or there
abouts, two men armed with Colt’s repeaters stepped
from tlie bushes and demanded the driver to halt, at
the sametimo presenting the pistols to his head, with
the modest request that he would deliver over “those
horses.” The party having in charge the wagon be
ing unarmed, no resistance was made, when the two
highwaymen quietly unloosed the harness, mounted
the horses, and galloped off in regular “ Dick Turpiu”
style. The transaction took place iu broad daylight.
No suspicion is attached to any one in particular.
The perpotrators aro supposed to belong to a regular
organized band of horse thieves known to be prowlirig
around the country adjacent io this city, and doubt
less a part of the same gang who committed the out
rage upon the premises of Col. Benteen on Sunday
night. •
Death of Count Gurowski.—Count Adam de Gu-
rowski, who died on the 4tli iiist, at Washington, ot
typhoid fever, was a Polish publicist of note. He was
born in'in the Palatinate of Kali6tz, and even as
school boy showed so livolya sympathy with the Polish
cause that he was expelled from Hie gymnasia of War
saw aud Kaliatz. He was one of tiio projectors of and
participate s iu tlie. revolution of 1830, and was sent
us all a^eiit of the Re|Tublicana to France. After the
suppression of the insurrection he lived several years
as an exile in France, where ho adopted many of tho
views of Fourier. In 1836 he was, in consequence
a book in which he advocated the idea of Panalavis
called to Russia and employed in the private chancery
of tho Emperor. This situation he retained until
1844. Iu 1849 he cameito the United States, where he
has resided ever since.. He was the author of numer
ous works in the Polish, German, French and English
languages, some of which attracted considerable at
tention.

A Bold Robbery.—In New York one day last, week,
a lady on returning to her house, the rest of the family
being absent, discovered two-thieves In the bouse, en
gaged in packing up silver ware, silk dresses, &c. The
lady immediately calied for help, when one of the
thieves seized her bv the throat, slid placing a revol
ver at her head, threatened to blow out her brains if
she made any further noise. He then held lier until
the other thief bad left with about.il,000"worth of sil
ver ware, &e., and then took her to a room in the qp-
~ which
per part of the house and locked her in, after
he made his escape.
(general Grant and ths Regular Arait.—A ru
mor is being-circulated that Lieutenant General Grant
has stated that Congress must increase tlie army, as
he could not get along without more troops. The in
correctness' of this statement wiU be apparent when
the well known fact is remembered that the reorgan
ization of the army waaeffected entirely in accordance
with the views of General Grant; nor has the Lieu
tenant General expressed himself, on any occasion, as
dissatisfied with the present strength of the army.—

Gex. Lia: FOB Pbksident.—The Mobile Register
has placed at the head of its odiums ihe name of Gen.
Robert E. Lee as the State Rights Democratic candi
date for President in 1863.
The Memphis Argus thinks the time has not yet
come to propose the name of Gen. Lee for this high •
office. It says: -
* * “Surely, they arc po good or true friends
of this grand old man, who, in the present posture of
affairs, would drag his great name into the filthy arena
of nartv strife. Not till a now and better spirit shall
—Chief Justice Bigelow made short work with a di
vorce case which came before him at Springfield,
Mass., a day or two ago. It was an application of a
wife for divorce from her husband, on the ground
of extreme cruelty. It coming up in testimony that
the woman had been beaten and otherwise ill used by
toe husband, the Judge at once decided the case iu
he»* favor, taking occasion to remark that in case of
any reference by the husband to the wife, he should
not hear all the points before deciding in favor of the
latter. The woman might forget cruelty*toward her
self, but the Court would not.
of party strife. Not till a new and better spirit
prevail in the politics of this country, and the country
shall call for its beet men to stand and serve in high
places? will it be possible or appropriate to dignify the
Presidential chair with a second, and ‘greater than
Washington.’
“If, in tho approaching political struggles, it be
comes necessary or advisable, or proper, to designate
some conservative candidate for the Presidency in
1868, in our opinion he—our present leader, the great
statesman of Tennessee—is the man.”
The Federal Land Tax due from Alabama to the
United States is $529,313, which the State has re-
qusted Congress, through the Secretary of the Treas
ury, to permit her to take from the shoulders of the
people, by paying the amount in bonds
having twenty years to run. The President for
warded the application of Governor Patton in be
half of the State, with the approval of himself and
Secretary McCulloch. The matter was referred by
Congress to the appropriate Committee, and there it
hangs fire.
The Habeas Corpus in Texas.—Another proclama
tion from the President* having reference to Texas
and referring, explicitly to martial law and the^ habeas
corpus, may soon be looked tor.
