Desk Mapam.—A letter from n
rall-bt ar.d ertcrnied yoongfriciid who
fought in all the battle* around Win
ch-*'er, informs me that anme time in
the ensuing month there will be \ dedi
e.-ti nos the c metry, that has been set
upirt under the at j-lee* of tl c 1 .dies
ot that town and vicinity f, r the Con
'ederate dead, who fill in tic lower
Sh'nandoah Valley. In the ci-tait
City of Mcxk-p, I nnd the aceount of
the sti pa inaugurated by the ladies of
Winchester for collecting the remains
and making the grave* of the brave
men wh r. 1 i*t their lives in defense of!
iheir coumry in and arouud the latter
place, at and it ir impossible for me to
give cEp-esrion to the emotion* of grat
titude and adrairu'ion excited in my bo
som on reading that toooui t. Ikn W
that many of those who were thus to bo
eared fur, fell fighting under my c< m
mar>d, among them being a number of
Vila cu personal friends, and this sad
and toucLirg tribute to tbeir memories
effee’ed tne V ry deeply. Since then
1 have anxiously deri ed an opportuni
ty to convey to the noble women of
i WiDobcster, and li e lower Valley of
! the Hhcnendoah, the expiessious of my
I heartfelt thank*, not only for tbeir care !
for the remaius > f the dead, but for
th ,ir kind and devi tod attentkn to tbe
tick and wounded of my command, and
I beg leave to do so through you. I
fully ap; reiivtc the self-sacrificing vir
tues displayed by all my oouotry-wotuen
during tbe war, but there ate peculiar
reasons why I should entertain senti
ments of the warmest admiration for,
and gra'ti'ude to the ladios of Wiocbes
: tsr. It was tho fortune of the trtops
| under my ooroand, to releive to at place 1
j three timis of the enemy during tho '
1 war, and I had abundant opportunities \
of aseertvining as well, the heroic forti
| tud ■ with which tbe ladies endured ail .
I the horrors of its occupation by our '
i erui I and vindictive foes, as tbe unwa
vering fidelity to cor cause which they
' maintained uud. r circumstances of un
u*uat Ic'.nptatuiu to succumb. I was
fully apprmtd < f the care taken by them
lo honor our dead and pruv.de for our
\ woundsd, not only when we w :re suc
cessful, but when reverses compelled
us to leave them in tbe hand -of the
enemy.
When many of my ceuntrymeo, in
ignorance of the great disadvantages
under ahich I labored at tbe tioie of
niy reverses, jnged rne harshly, it was
frem a lady ia Winchester that I r< - !
ceived a message sent through the lines i
of the enemy, that whatever others:
might and , th" ladies of thst place, who I
knew the feaiful odds with which I htd
to eon end with, attached ha blame to
m*. It is not to be wondered therefore
tl *' l feel •• deeply toward them.
God knots how well 1 love my native
j State and ail ber unfortunate sinters of
; the South, and how che< rfully my life
wa« risked and would now be yielded
l in their defense ; bnt to all of us th.’to
| are some wpnta peculiarly gar rod. W ith i
I me the firrt among thrae is the place
' 'i>> c I was horn and where new repose
1 T - oiuins my n other, the pert t*
\V mib ■..! ter, the plains around which
were watered by the biro) of ?o tna
ay i4i “*y brave comrades, anil where
now so r»*oy Inn women weep over the
gravoa of the faltru. It is gad, sad in
deed to be an cjilp fen© my country
and sadder still to mouru the 1 >** of the
mrat just and sacred cause f r which
man evet ‘Sugbt; but th- re is rrme
, comfort in knowing that the struggle
which developed so irueh heroism on
tlie jitrtof our soldiers tnd so many
virtuos in (nr women, ha* not been all
in vain; and wherever I nmy wander,
I will bear with me tbe proud cousola
, tion derived from the knowledge tbs'
my cnun'ry women who were so faith
' ful and devoud durii g all the trials
and vicissitudes of our dreadful contest
|rr independence, now that it i* gone
1 against us, remain true to the memoiie*
|of the dead. Power and money may
I procure oo*t]y monument* and testimo
nial* to oomemorate tbe names of those
who fought and died f.ir the successful
party, but all the power and wealth of
the world, cannot command ao rich a
' tribute a* that paid to the memory of
: the heroic acid of the Cmfedcrcte sr—
j iiiies by the teare of the woman of the
j S >uth.
I beg that you will c ramuni ata thi
j exnro-si nos my feelings to the ladies
of 'Vincbe<ti;r and the Lower Valley,

with the f llowing has'ily written, but
strictly correct account of the founder
ing of the Evcuing Star, md his peri
li u< voyage from mid ocean to the Flor
ida C art.
Left New York Saturday, 3 o’clock
p m. having on board 250 cabin and
stearate paßseugtrs, and a crew of sev
enty p rsons. Ornw.-e-l the B.r at
Study Hock. At (5 p. m.. discharged
pilot. Strong brerzos from the N. E-,
with rain and heavy sea. Monday 8
a in., inode Cape Ilatteras, moderate
breeze and heavy swell from the 8. E.;
crossed the Gulf Stream as usual. At
midday on Tuesday 2nd inst., fresh
gala from N. E., and ch udy, all sail set
ship making c even snots per hour.
F. ur p.,m., blowing a heavy gi.le, with
n tremendous sea ; the ship making bud
Wi atbrr, took in all sail and hauled head
to the sea. At 8, p. m. blowing a tre
mendous hurricane, and wind chmgiDg
to all points of tbe compass; all of the
ciew at their respective stations, to be
ready for any emergei cy in case of acci
dent. 10, p. m., a heavy sea s'ruek
the. ahip, on her Port quarter, carrying
away stearage gear and (blowing oue
of tLe quart! ruiasters over the wheel,
hr akiug bis right arm. Tho ship fell
off into tbe trough of the sea. Hooked,
nleaving tackles immediately, shipped
a heavy sea oarryin; away paddle boxes
and bur ting iu epgiue roi m doors, bo
ti !es breaking steam pipe and filling
tne engine and fire room with water,
putting out the fire in tbe fu-nace. j
Tbe engineers immediately had donkey
firo boiler to pump ship; *ll hards in- j
eluding the male passengures at work
bailing ship. At midnight, a heavy ;
sen struck tho ship, carrying away the ;
donkey pipe, and filling the ship !
with water, putdng out fires in donkey i
b >ikr. Got steam again is soon rs j
possible, the witter gaining las'. All j
of the lady passengers at work bailing ’
water from the aft'r saloon, un J rr the
supervision of the Purser and Steward.
At 4 a. m , Capt. Knapp gave me or
ders to get all the boids ready, with
Oirs, breakers, provissior*, and ci mpi's
scs well secured in tbem, and report to
him, which was immediately attended
to.
At 4:30 a. m I had all the boats
ready as ordered and reported the same
to Capt. Knapp; at 5 a. m., Capt.
Koupp went to the saloon door, and
told (he 1 .dies that he bad done all in
Li-* power to save the ship, that she
could float but a short time longer, and
I for them ill to repair to the boat*, each
!i f which bad an officer stu’inmd at
then', to take charge and see that the
psi-sengcr* were properly placed in the
boat*. Tbe ladies all cainc on dc.k
without any txeifeJtent, and very ca'm
ly took tbeir piaees in ibe boa's. In
my boat there were as osar k» I could
judge between foity and fifty women
I unbooked tho tackles and swung the
duvi t* clour of tbe boat; the boat atill
remaining in her ebooks on deck. Iu
a (*w minute® after tbe boats deaicd
the ship settled forward to tbe top ot
ber rail.*, gave a surge aft, and went
and >wc, oarrying all with b r.
O.i coming to the surface, the first
thing I got boll of was the top of the
after bouac. I saw my boat about
thirty feet from me, bottom up, and a
number of sailor clinging to it. I im
mediately made for it got ou the bottom
and hauled up f>ur ladies on to the boat
with me, and by surging it to one side,
succeeded in righting h< r. I then paid
ay attention to get iug the ladies on
the boat nnd succeeded in rescuing
twenty-nine of them. On examining
my boat I found that everything bad
i) ea washed out of her. We managed
| to get the boat clear of the wreck, but
not until a number of my pasaengors
1 were killed by floating debris (rout the
■ wreck washing over the boat.
! I saw sno'her limit but two persins
1 (passengers) in her. They hating oars
; 1 mo ioned them to puil a- end to keep
! clear of my boat, but they not knowifig
how to manage tier, she came foul of
me, capsizing my boat. On again re
gaining it,, 1 succeed b in righting her |
ami picked up four Indies and fonr j
gentlemen, cabin passengers, the re
mainder having been drowned by the
1 capsizing of the boat. In about one 1
I hour alter 1 picked up another passen
ger, a French gentleman of the opera
troui>e. J alterwurdn saw a number
ol pa- -angers clinging to pieces of the
•'!••• <■ >ly in .it being fail of water,
, and having nothing to manage her
with, it wax impossible for me to ren
. der them any aasis ance, the safety of
| rny taint and passengers requiring rny
whole attention. It is impossible for
metossywhnt become oftbo other
boat*.
On the 4th I picked up six turnips
which I gave to the ladies to out. I
also picked up an awning-post, which
I made a mast of, using my shirt for
a sail, und steering thr boat with a
piece of thwart, I shaped my course
for tho westward.
On Friday, the sth, I had a fresh
breeze from the eastward the boat go
ing along finely under sail. I heard
the gentlemen complaining bitterly for
the want of water, the ladies remain
ing perfectly quie‘. About dark oue
of tbe ladies died.
Saturduy, the tith, strong bieozea
from the eastward, and heavy sea.—
We were all suffering dreadfully for
want of water, und against all of my
warning they would drink salt water,
w hich made them a great deal worse,
some of them bscoiring insane
Sunday, 7th, heavy gal s from rast-,
ward and heavy sea. At about 7we
made a sail uni steered for it She
passed without seeing u*. She was
so near to u* I cou'd see her At
about 9 a. in. oue of the gentleman
pv Wengers jumped o erboard and wis
drowned. At about Bp. m two more
of iny gentleman passengers becoming
insane, jumped overboard and were
drowned. At about 10 pin a heavy
sea struck the boat, capsizing her and
drowning one lady a alone gentleman
The gentleman's name was Frank K
Dcnniv.
I mice eded in righting the boat and
getting on board the three remaining
passengers, one gentleman and two la
dies. 1 then made a drag with my
must and boat's painter, and kept tho
boat’s bead to the wind during the r -
mainder of ‘.he night.
Monday Oct Bth—About. 2 A. M.,
the remaining gentleman passenger
jumped overboard I succeeded in
getting him on board nga n. lie re
mained for alKMlt five minutes, when
he went forward and jumped over
board again and was drowned. He
was a member of the opera troufie. —
The weatner moderating, tho two re
maining ladies and myself rirgod the
boat out with a pie eof one of their
under garments. We then made sail
on the boat and steered to the west
ward. At daylight I found mysc'i in
colored water, and steered to tne
I westward, with light breeze and lint
son, we a l suffering so terribly from
thirst and hunger The ladie became
speechless. Their names were Miss
Addie Norton n"d Mrs. Rose How
ard, of New York
Thursday, 9th—a f-esh breeze •pung
up from tho Eastward, with a h- an
swell. About 2P.M. I in ide the land
and stood for it. About 9 I'. M., I
i made a light but could u t ste r lor it,
|on aocount ot havini; no niii'iageabie
sail. About an hour aft o' - a show ir
ouiiio up; I caught some na'ir with a
piece of their clotlrng and wrung
it into tbe mouths of the ladies, which
ao revived them that they could speak.
A* near as I can judge, about 10 P. M

After passing th r cugh three Ire 1-
ers, and tui iking we were safe, tbe
i fourth breaker s'ruck tho boat, rolling
! her over and over, throwing us ad three
1 out. It being very dark, I could no'
see either < f the Indies ; limy w- re much
exhausted they must have been drowned
immediately. I swam to the shore, arid
a* soon as I got on the beach I Imke-1
for m) boa’ and found her 1 it* a fen

but could not find tbem; [ then strolled
along tbe beach to find assistance an 1

Gkn. Tilson, and Henry County.
—We find in the Constitutionalist of
the 13th a letter to the Chairman and
Secretary of the recent public meet
ing in Henry county Gen. Tilson
cites several instances of cruelty and
abuse of freed men in that county, and
one murder by a gang ol outlaws.
He complained of the neglect of the
civil authorities to suppress, and pun
ish these proceedings, and adds :
I shall hold the prisoners und main
tain a garison in Henry county until
1 the conduct of the people, and the ac-1
tion of the civil authorities warrant the j
j belief that the laws will be enforced 1
i und all classes of citizens protected.—
i Longer to trust mere (lossession, would
1 be *.o indulge in crimin 1 credulity.
As the publication of the resolutions
sent me, tend to give the impression
that the Military Authority have act- j
edin an oppreeire and tyranical man
ner, withoutdua investigation or knowl- !
edgo cfhwta, I shall publish the fore
g ing statement.
1 have altogether mistaken the char
acter and intentions of the people of
th s State, if, after reading this state
-1 meat, they shall decide that my action
1 has been hasty, ill-considered or too
severe.
I am gratified to ad j that this is the
first instance in this State when the
cflorts to restore t''e Supremacy of
civil law, in a manner to protect the
j rights of all citizons, irrespective of col
or or condition, has proved so nearly
a failure.
A moat Horrid ,Ha»acre.
Oue of tho most brutal massacres that
has ever become our pdnlul du'y to
chronicle, occurred near Cedar Bluff,
Cherokee c 'unty, Alabama, on the mi r i
ing of Monday, the 15th in t:
Mr. A'thue William* was moving
with liis family f?nm Bartow county of
this State, to Texas, and Sunday even
ing last camped for tbe night on the
Cba'looga Riv-r about two miles from
Cedar bluff. Tho appearance indicate
that himself, wife and two children were
all sleeping on i-ni bed that was spread
I out on tbe ground.
When found about dac-hreak on
: Monday morning, Mr. Williams and
these two cfci'dreo were still lying npon
the bed, dead »Dd it on fire. They bad
been killed with an axe that, wan King
| near. Mr. William’s head havtrg been
literally split open and the ehi'dren iinr
ribly mutiUted.hut alNeera to bare been
1 killed instantly, as their bodies still re
am lined upon the bed Mis W. having
received a t'rrihlo blow upon the bead
by the ax" o her l ift check, destroying
her left evo and breaking her jaw bone,
with her el”that on fire had roiled down
the bluff to the wafer’s edge, and, when
fouud, though speechless, was still alive
when our informant left this awful
sceno.
No clue is given to the perpetrator
oxcept that a eegro, bart-f oted, Culled
nt a bouse a half a mile from the place
at ten o’clock oo Sunday night and got
a drink of water. These tracks were
traoked to tbe place, and Mr. William’s
shoes being gane, tracks with shoes
were found going from the plaoc. We
understand the negro was a stranger to
j the gcutlem.vn where he got the water.
Trial of .Hr. Davi*.
It. appearsoonclu-ively fr the cor
respondence between the I' e-iio,.
n'd tho Attorney General, that M*
Davis is certainly to be tried for treas
on, that the President had done every
thing in hi* power to bring him to tri
ll 1 , and whatever delay may or ha* oc
curcd in tho trial, cannot bo charg and
upon hitr. It further appears from the
c rruspoodcnce, that Mr. Davis will rot
ho held to answer to any charge against
h m as a military prisoner.
Mr DavVs trial will take yl.ee
whenever the District Atter iev, and
the court shall thiuk proper, sft-r Con
g-e*J has made some further legislation
to tbe a-signment of the judges (f
t t- Supreme Cou-t- to the Circuits.
We do not. roi how the trial can well

Chief Jusiiee will be engaged in the
Sup'ome Ci urts for several months af

S'-are lybe practicable f-r him to hold

We arc glad to a*cer'aio, a* we do

this bra ch of the subject hurried
him into steps ii reference to procuring
tiic te.-timouy of Conover and O’herj,
wb'ch to say tiie least of it, hnve serv
el to wiiu and Mi. Holt more than Mr.

We think Mr. Halt owes it to him
self and the cause of eternal tru'h and
justice, which can nev rb ■ violated
with impunity, to come ou‘ ope riy and
say, whether he is not suti tied that 'he
llia*B of f.d e and [etju-od testimony
in his b n Is, • owt ver honestly sought

New Itcßiil:!tlous About tlie
Cotton Tut.
The Commissioner ol Internal Rev
enuc haw issued additional regul itioug
concerning the transportation of cotton
iu bond. The bond may be given by
the consignee in the district to which
the cotton i*to be shipped and tiansmitt.
ed to the coll 'ctor of the district in which
' tbe cotton is produced. The bond beieg
pr perlv filed, the Assessor will iisue
permits based upon the weight as re
ported by tlio owner. Any want of
accuracy in such retort of receipts is to
bo corrected by the certificate of tbe
weigher at the point, to which the cot-
I ton was shipped. This avoids tbe ne
'ee.sity of having the oatton weighed by
a government oflfi ip prior to shipment.
The old r gnlations still remain in foree
I and w.ll bo observed whenever parties
wish to Birip in tbe manner there pro -
vided.
