Heavy on the Radical*. *
Tli« heaviest denunciation of the radicals we have
v«t seen is In a letter from (len. Shields, addressed to
a committee in Macon, Missouri, regretting his in
ability, on account of sickness in his family, to ad.
dress i* Johnson meeting in that place. The following
is a sample of the document:
The leaders of the present Congress are giving the
iuo-t convincing proof that a single despot, however
cruel, ran be more magnanimous and merciful than
the inflamed fanatical representatives of a free people,
fhey arc not content with trying to humiliate, degrade
and dishonor the whole Southern people en masse,
j.-ynl and rebel, but they are determined to perpetuate
that degradation and fasten it upon their innocent
|i<>etcnty, by divesting them of ail political power, and
investing their slaves of yesterday with full political
power to dominate oveu them. They imagine, and,
jt^rhups, rightly, that no human punishment could
• legrado the Southern whites like that of investing
their recent slaves with power to decide upon their
destiny. There is a coldly Calculated, refined viudlc-
11veuess in this that would do credit to the denizens
of a darker region than their .Ethiopian policy can
ever make the South. Aud besides the gratification
• >f impish revenge, this policy promises them pecu
liar political advantages, for it is one of the charactor-
iuica of this cohl-blooded faction, that in even grati-
!•. Ing their revenge they never lose sight of their own
immediate interest.
Tlio whole political power of ihe South, wlfcn once
ifiicanizcd, can be made available by suitable agents,
auJcr their Civil Rights Bill aud such other kiudred
measures as they may be able to pass over the Presi-
itrid\s veto. The swarm of ageuts with which they
inti lid to inundate the South under this bill, wouldbe
in intolerable affliction under any circumstances, but
in n it is remembered that this brood of mean, pet-
iv, hungry officials are to bo sent there to take charge
,ii die negroes and sustain them against the whites,
, I to enforce negro equality, we may form some
-ill'll! idea of the pretty little radical pandemonium
ili**y mean to establish in that devoted region. To
• \.-ii discuss the ^constitutionality of this bill would
i,. to uting it with too mndh respect. No man who
mi !• i stands our system of Government will dare to
arge that Congress has the power to enter the States,
v. lect out a portion of their citizens, change their
oil status, place them under special‘protection, send
-jM’fial agents to sustain them against the rest of the
utizens, and remove them when necessary from
under State laws and State tribunals, aud place them
under the solo guardianship and protection of the
lieutral Government. It would wrong their intelli
gence to suppose that any of the men who voted for
that bill believed it constitutional. President John
son could not act with such men. No American who
has a white conscience can. The conscience has to
be blackened in America, or crimsoned in Europe, to
make a Republican sufficiently black or sufficiently
red to do the work of a thoroughly radicalized
fanatic.
li the country is to bo saved from going the way of
all tlm oilier Republics on this continent, we will owe
it under God to Andrew Johnson. If we are ever
ajain to have anything worthy of being called a Union,
ive will owe it to his loyalty and intrepidity. But a
Union kept together by bayonets, or w hat is worse, by
a swarm of official vermin, appointed under Civil
hivhts bills to interfere with the laws, tribunals and
rights of the. States, aud the hereditary constitutional
liberty of the people, is not worth an hour’s preserva
tion. No. Let us have a real Union—a Union of
hearts, laws, rights and privileges, or no Union.' The
people will have no radicalized Union, with New Eng
land for its head and Texas for iU tail. AVe will have
uo Union With eleven States out or Africanized.
The war, it is true, has made us a patient people,
and taught us to submit to any kind of govern
ment,bill this must not be mistaken for a blind, igno-
r.iut or slavish submission. We will start up wide
awake some bright morning and conclude that a
rump Congress and a rump Union at the same time
arc not quite the thing for this country; and so sure
a* we op n our eyes to this fact, we will do what Col.
Pride did with the rump Parliament—send the rump
Couuross to seek the devil—anywhere else except in
Washington, and bring back a whole Union, in all its
utaaty and majesty, the greatest and noblest political
structure in the world. To effect this peaceably, we
mast have a thorough organization of the people.

Grand Parade of the Firemen at Hilton
Head, S. C* '
On the 26th hast., your correspondent had the plea
sure of witnessing one of the most pleasing and excit
ing scenes that has ever taken place — within the
memory of the. oldest inhabitant—on the. Island of
Hilton Head, S. C.
For a considerable time past there has been estab
lished here two steam fire engine companies, respect
ively known as No. 1, and No. 2, and on Saturday last
they paraded in the square, and then marched along
Merchant’s row, as far as the United States General
Hoapital, then by the left flank to the beach, aud back
to the square.
On starting, No. 1 took the lead, and oq arriving at
the store No. 12, kept by Mr. Peter Wakefield, an old-
established resident of Hilton Head, Mrs. Wakefield-
accompanied by Mr. Wood, another well-known and
respected citizen here, appeared on the stoop with
three beautiful wreaths, which Mrs. Wakefield was de
sirous of presenting to Engine Company, No. 2.
The procession having halted, and the officers of No-
2, consisting of Mr. James Hoey, Foreman, Mr. An,
drew Graham, Assistant Foreman, Mr. Charles
O’Dowd, Treasurer, aud Mr. -John McConville, Secre
tary, stepped forward on behalf of the compsuy, when
the following appropriate remarks were made by Mr,
Wood, on behalf of Mrs. Wakefield:
Mr. Foreman and officers of Steam Fire Eugine
Company, No, 2, of Hilton Head, S. C.—Mrs. Mary
Ellen Wakefield, through yonr humble servant, be;
your acceptance of three wreaths for the decoration of
yonr engine; and she sincerely trusts lhat all your
contentions with the fiery element may always be
crowned with success, and without injury or loss of
life to any member of your honorable body. Being
conscious of her own demerits, and of the very small
value to bo placed upon what she offers for yonr ac
ceptance she requests me to say that, to make up for
her deficiency therein, her prayers for the triumph of
your efforts, when duty calls you out, will ever be that
God will keep you in health and strength, and that
you may ultimately win a wreath of a far different
nature to any one of these she now offers you—a wreath
not only of victory over the conflagrations you may
contend with, but a wreath of victory from Him above,
which, when your duty here below is completed, it is
hoped will be one of an imperishable nature: Gentle
men, will you do Mrs. Wakofield the honor of accepting
her offering?”.
Mr. Hcey* having accepted the wreaths, made the
following reply:
•‘Mr. Wood, you will please convey to Mrs. Wake
field the grateful and heartfelt thanks of the officers
and members of Steam Fire Engine Company, No. 2,
for her very pretty and acceptable present, and that
we consider it not only docs honor to herself, but adds
to our engine a more graceful decoration than that
which it now wears. Please say to her that we sin
cerely thank her.”
The procession then moved forward and marched
to the places I have hereinbefore mentioned. Ar
riving at the square on their return, they were ad
dressed by Mr. McGregor, who holds the position of
Chief of the Fire Department, who delivered a most
eloquent address to the companies, winding up by
saying that oe soon as the engines were housed he
should be glad to see the two companies march to
the Billiard Saloon of Mr. James Mulligan, aud he
would meet them there.
Your correspondent being desirous of seeing the
end of the performance, went to Mr. Mulligan’s store,
and very soon the two companies marched in,
taking one side of the room, and No. 2 the other. On
Mr. McGregor’s arrival the fraternization of the two
companies commenced, one member of each company
getting up and going to the bar. shaking hands, aud
drinking together, then falling back and' giving place
to others, until the whole of them had wet their
whistles. Some of the members of No. 1 made some
very neat little speeches, and I regret that I do not
kuow their names, in order to reoord them, but at the
cloeo Mr. McConville, Secretary of No. 2, made quite
a hit iu a laughable speech, which put everybody in
th«best possible good humoh, and to-day the two
companies stand as a band of brothers.
The inhabitants of Hilton Head are very proud of
their Volunteer Fire Department, and I am sure that
each company is very proud of the other, and I pray
to Heaven tliat they may always continue so.
Hurry.

Negro Witnesses in the Virginia Courts.—In

European Stocks.—The effect of the war in Europe
on the securitise of the several European powers has
been most-marked within a year past. For instance,
the French three per cents., on the 12th, stood at
64 > a , as compared with 67%, at the corresponding date
of 1865: tho French Credit Mobilier at 565f., as com
pared with 770f;the Spanish Credit Mobilier at 292%t.
as compared with 482%.; the Austrian five per cents,
at 61 %, as compared with 75%; the Prussian uur-and-
a-halfper centa. at 95, as compared with 102; the
Italian five per cents, at 40, a9 compared with 65%.
It will be seen that Italy lias gone the most to the
wall.
Deserters.—It has been ruled by the Second Audi
tor of the Treasury, whose decision has been sustained
by the Second Comptroller, that no bounty or arrear
ages of pay should be given to the widow or heirs of
any individual who deserted from the service of the
United States, no matter how short the desertion, not
withstanding he may have subsequently, served out
the term of his enlistment. In the prepared bills now
before Congress this policy is adopted, and all deser
ters are excluded from the benefits thereof.
The Case of Mr. Davis.—The Baltimore. Sun says
it ia reported that Mrs. Davis haa come to Washington
to urge that her husband be trtnsferred from Fort
Monroe to some prison or fort further north, where
there is less danger from the peculiar diseases sug
gested by the surgeon who made the report to the
President of Davis’ health as being prevalent at For
tress Monroe. Among the latest rumors is one that
the trial of Mr. Davis will be postponed until August
or September.

# THE FTRE
has been the principal topic of the week, and-‘who
set it?” is promiscuousiy asked on ’Change, and in
every public place, until the qnery has become a by
word and semi-joke. The illumiu dion it afforded was
equalled by the great kerosene fii at the Erie Rail-*
dock in Jersey city some thi. ■ years since, or j
that at the burning of the negro orphan asylum and i
other buildiugs during the riots. The night-hawks of j
Brooklyn (where they keep gas-light posts only to ob- '
struct sidewalks) were enabled to walk home without
breakirg their limb's, and the sleepy roosters and j
“other people” in Jersey arose from their beds as if
sunrise had taken a fresh start.
LITTLE SYMPATHY
seems to be vouchsafed the stockholders of the Acad
emy by the mass of our people—probably from the
fact that they have generally placed themselves in
antagonism to popular amusement and made their
building exclusive for the rich. On the board fence
around the mins can be seen all sorts of jokes in
chalk, such as “This house open to the public to
night!”—”31im attendance last night! “—“Reserved
seats on the comer!”—“Colored people not ad
mitted!”—“Who set it?”—“Get insured I"—“Where
was Max?”—“Where was Bennett “Flora Mc-
Flimsey’s gone home!”—“Beware of the dog!”—
and a number of others. Large crowds of the
curious visit the rains daily.
OUR MUSICAL PEOPLE
regret the fall of their temple very much, aud wil-
anxiously await its rebuilding. Aside from the
ipoouiea, who only Went there because it was fash
ionable so to do, there is a very large class of our
community who really appreciate good music, aud, as
the best native and foreign musical taleut always
centered at the Academy they perforce had to submit
to the lorquettes of the gassing swells in order to
feast their ears to “concord of sweet sounds.” They
now will transfer their allegiance to the new French
theatre, where tho English opera, from Boston, will
open in a few days. Irving Hall, and the German
theatres will come in also for a good share of musical
attendance. Tho latter are noted for their excellent
music.
A HINT FOB BOSTON.
Our Brooklyn folks have a most pleasant occur
rence in May, which they call the Union Anniversa
ry of the Sabbath SchoolST The programme, general
ly, comprises a meeting of all the Sabbath .Schools at
their school houses, where they form, aud then
march to a rendezvous, where they meet other schools,
aud they form one immense procession on Xafayettc
Avenue, through which they march with bands of
music to Clinton Avenue, and after countermarching,
return to their school again. All the children are
dressed in their best, and they do dress children pret
tily in that city; the various Sabbath Schools have
their splendid designated banner, each class its pret
ty banneret, and aa they march through the five broad
avenues mentioned, numbering some fifteen to twen
ty thousand, one of the most enlivening and hopeful
scenes that can be produced in any civilized country
on the earth is witnessed. Thousands of people fill
the streets to view the moral pageant, and the happy
foces and 8weet songs of the little oues attest the de
light they experience in thus serving in the "Army of
the Lord.” Such a similar spectacle on Boston com
mon would fill the modem Athens with thousands of
visitors. After the parade nearly all the children on
reaching their schools find an elegant collation await
ing them, and many a litUe one ia made happy by the
present oi a neat box of sweetmuata with some
scriptural motto upon it to take home as a keepsake.
The children date all their affairs in Brooklyn from
‘the anniversary. ”
THE CURFEW BELL

grand closing-up of all liquor stores and rum-shops
as tho City Hall bell swells oul its sonorous peal at

either in this city or Brooklyn. Many are the ree ling
crowds who now c’nights make night hideous with

North river known on the map as Jersey. It is
astonishing how far a dry crowd will travel for

hundreds of our fast young men make excursions to
Jersey City and Hoboken after midnight to get the in

THE CHOLEfiA
has ceased almost to *xcite alarm, and the first
flurry cf excitement ou the subject has subsided
Many who fled the city have returned, and feel secure
while the very cool weather we havo had lately shall
last. Probably uothiug has been read with more in
terest by our community than the daily bulletin of Dr.
Bissell, who has charge of tho cholera patient^ afquar
antine. The doctox has had a narrow escape, if report
is true; for he had a very severe attack of the dieease,
from which ho fortunately recovered. It is stated he
receives a salary of DU*- hundred dollars per day for
his attendance and aervlces, and many think it cheap
at that. Several of our physicians refused to take the
position at any price. There are now three or four
vessels at quarantine for use as hospital ships, but i t
is hoped they may ride safely at anchor- during the
summer tenantless.
ONE OF THE WOhST VILLAINS
that ever disgraced the form of humanity left this
city for Europe last Wednesday. The present genera
tion know of Mrs. General Eaton, the gay and fas
cinating leader Of social and fashionable life in Wash
ington during tbe administration of Andrew Jackson
The past generation knew and admired her for her
gaiety, her beauty, and her elasticity of spirits. When
her husband died in a foreign land she returned to
this' country, and took up her residence in this city.
Possessed of a handsome competency, she adopted
two of her graudchildren, a boy and a girl, and though
living very retired, stilt she lived happily. While
thus living a smooth-tongued Italian adventurer ap
peared iu the city, who waa employed as dancing mas
ter for the children. He won the love of the children
to such an extent that they prevailed npon their grand
mother to permit him to vfait her house. His plane,
it would appear, were already laid, for in a short time
he had gained the concent of Mrs. Eaton to marry
him. After marriage be succeeded ln getting posses
sion of all her property, except that which she bad
set apart for her grandchildren. Time passed, and
not content with getting possession of Mrs. Eaton ’w
property, which be had used apparently i|i the most
reckless manner, he succeeded iu getting possession
of the children’s property also. Here the generality
of this class of villains stop in their course of crime,
satisfied. Not so with this Italian, named Bour-
ganani. He had obtained the widow—obtained tbe
property—and beggared the widow and her grand
children; but this was not enough to satiate his fiend
ish heart. He set about corrupting the girl, and suc
ceeded so well that she became the very embodiment
of deceit—a complete tool in his hands. This was the
condition of affairs at the commencement of the pre
heat week, and matters were assuming a bhspc that
Nponia Soon bring oat an exposure. Thus waabed, the
villain took passage In the steamer of Wednesdav,
taking the girl with him as his wife. Before leaving
bo wrote a note to his wife, tolling her he had con
verts.! all Her property into cash.'and proposing to
her, if she would keep the matter quiet, he would" al
low her $20 per week.
