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. Lvtiy man who wants to preserve the Constitution nud the Union ought to enter a Johnson Club. We we .t to the noble stand takeu by the President to >U-I iu him : and what is more, we owe it to ourselves sr.d to the country, anefto the principles 6f constitu- nuual liberty, to sustain his policy so long us lie sus- ik.iib Lbe Constitution and the Union. .

At the breaking out of the [From an Occasional Correspondent of the News and Herald. 1 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.

Negro Witnesses in the Virginia Courts.—In the Virginia Circuit Court, sitting at Alexandria, on Friday last, when the case of the Commonwealth vs. Roe (a white man charged with felony) was being tried, the Commonwealth’s attorney asked that he might be permitted to introduce negro witnesses to Up war he was the pusior of St. Mark s Cthurcb, in : testily, glaim-ing the right to do so under the provi- ttiilaJelphia.

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.

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.

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 was not more regularly obeyed by old-time Puritans in putting out their lights aud quenching their fires at nine in tho evening, than now iu this city is the- grand closing-up of all liquor stores and rum-shops as tho City Hall bell swells oul its sonorous peal at midnight.

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.
