FROM NORTH OARO-
From the National Intelligencer, 17th uH...
The Third House of Congress The
Star Chamber Exposed.
We cannot forbear recording on? de-
lVbcf»tc conviction that the object of in
stituting the.Joint Committee of Fifteen,
usually denominated the ^Reconstruction
Committee of Congress,” was to work a
revolution. We have repeatedly argued,
in support of this opinion, from the acts
declarations of leaders, as we had
jTtffrflc necess ter them. In the following
somimfirfcartion, dtl additional 9”d ftost
lizqwrtatft Insight is aftofilcd into the
method whereby an artificial public opiti-^tpossi'ble to canvas^ tfieutyor to offer con-
ion in the North should be manufactured, j tradietpiy evidence. My sole parpose is
such as would render more plausible the *,to aid the committee, eo far as this State
preconcerted reasons to be assigned for a is concerned, in the ascertainment of
series of measures fatal to the liberties of i truth, and to guard against ex parte testi
mony from unknown or irresponsible
sources. If, therefore, the committee
will at any time furnish notice of the
points onf.which evidence is desired, or of
prejudicial testimony which it is neces
sary to meet, my colleagues and myself
will gladly avail ourselves of its permis
sion to offer such relevant proof as may
be in our power.
I am, very respectfully, yours,
W- A. Graham.
Hon. Wm. P. Fessenden, Senate U. S.
To prevent misconception, I esteem it
proper to remark that in giving these let
ters to the public, no reflection is intended
on the motive of the committee, much
less on those of its honorable chairman
in the Seuate, as a gentleman with whom,
through a personal acquaintance of many
years, I have ever maintained the kindest
and most respectful personal relations.—
But it is obvious that, from inadvertence,
or a different view of the subject on the
part of the committee, or from misappre
hension on my part, I have been disap
pointed in the expectation of being al
lowed to hear what was imputed to my
State as demerit, and of counteracting it,
if I could-^a mistake from which some
injustice has resulted. My inference,
from the correspondence, certainly was
that the committee, when they should
reach the matLer touching North Carolina,
would notify us of the points on which
evidence was desired, and would afford an
opportunity to apply to adverse testimony
the ordinary tests of truth, as well as of
combatting it, if, in our judgment, proper
to be done, by witnesses called by our
selves.
I was, therefore, surprised, a few days
since to lcnrn that the committee bad
made report of the evidence taken by
them, and obtained an order for its publi
cation—a proceeding which, in a legisla
tive body, as in a court of chancery, I
the Senate ■ presume, implies that all the evidence
that body, j has been taken that it is designed to re
ceive. This inference is confirmed by
the application for and adoption of the
additional order to print 10,000 extra
copies. It imports that the case, as to
the facts, is fully made up, and that upon
these it is to be submitted to tbe judgment
of the two Houses of Congress, and the
still higher arbitrament of public opinion.
Now, I most respectfully protest that, if,
upou anything contained in all this evi
dence, the people of the State of North
Carolina shall be condemned, or kept in
a state of condemnation without a hear
ing, when she was entitled to be heard.
Cf all tbe testimony received by the
committee, there is not a single affidavit
having a specific reference to her; and
bring forward countervailing evidence, by requesting that there might be sum-
if this supposition be not correct, by moned another officer of the Frcedmen’s
Tecumseh.

FROM THE HON.
SENATOR ELECT
LINA.
For tbe National Intelligencer.
The debate in the Senate, on yesterday,
upon the order to print ten thousand
copies of tho report of the Joint Com
mittee oil “Reconstruction,” detailing
the evidence taken before that committee
as to the condition of political sentiment
in the several States of the South, and
their fitness for representation in Cou-
gress, in which allusion was made to the
Course pursued by the committee in refer
ence to the State of North Carolina, and
nn application submitted by me that her
members elect should be permitted to
bear what might be alleged to her preju
dice, and, if they deemed it proper, to
cross-examine the witnesses against her,
if any, and to adduce other testimony,
renders it necessary that I ask of you the
favor to publish the following correspon
dence. It was instituted solely for the
attainment of truth, and thereby, as I
trusted, to protect the character and rights
of the State and people I was deputed in
part to represent. The President of the
Senate, at my request, had done me the
honor to present my commission as a Sen
ator elect. Though it wan laid on the
table in conformity to precedents in other
cases, and I was not admitted to the ex
ercise of the functions contemplated, it
still, in my conception, devolved on me
the duty, in conjunction with my respect
ed colleagues elected to both. Houses,, to
observe the proceedings of the publtc
authorities, and when occasion might
seem to invite or justify it, to intervene
for explanation, so far as it might be al
lowed, in defense of the interest and
honor of our State and the fair fame of
her people. Seeing that an order to
authorize the committee to send for per
sons and papers had passed
on motion of its chairman in
Mr. Fessenden, of Maine—a proceeding
understood to imply that evidence is to
be taken and a searching and thorough
investigation to be had—*1 applied for
Heave to be present at the examinations
•pertaining to the State of North Carolina,
as will be seen in the letters following:
I had no desire or wish to he examined
as a witness myself. I should have con
sidered myself rather as occupying the
place of ^olfnseror advocate of the State.
And ir the committee had intimated a
wish for such information, would have
taken pleasure in furnishing them the
address of gentlemen in every section of
the State, whose acquaintance, whose in
tegrity, whose intelligence, whose loyalty
and interests, and identification with the
country, qualified them to speak of the
condition of affairs and the state of feel
ing and opinion towards the Governmont
of the United States with full knowledge;
men whose ambition has been chastened
by the fires of adversity, whose afflictions
and sacrifices would satiate a generous
foe, whose desire is to re-establish the
constitutional relations of all the States
with the Federal Union, and, as prepara
tory to this, to disarm the spirit of re
venge and the remorseless passions engen
dered in a great revolution, which, by
reason ot its want of success, many are
unable to distinguish from a petty rebel
lion.
And before Congress and the people,
to which this evidence is submitted for
their verdict and judgmeut, I respectfully
claim that the State of which I am a
citizen and a servant, is not to he affected
injuriously by any evidence received by
this committee. She has in good faith
submitted herself to all the requireinants
in that scheme of policy prescribed by
the President from the Potomac to the
Rio Grande ; is obedient to every law of
the Union; is with heavy sacrifices pay
ing the arrearages of taxes of former
years to the United States, as well as
present levies, and not arrogantly, but
confidently, appeals to that sense of jus
tice and those remembrances of ancient
friendships which shall restore to her the
full fruition of, her rights 9 a State in
the American Uuion. «

Sir: Observing that you are first
named in the Senate’s branch of the com
mittee upon the admission into Congress
of members from the Southern States,
and having forwarded to the President of
(the Senate, to be laid before that body,
any commission as a Senator from North
‘Carolina; perceiving, also, that the com
mittee has been authorized to take evi
dence in the matters submitted to it by
sending for persons and papers, I tafc%
the liberty of respectfully suggesting
through you to the committee that it will
fbc but justice, in the conduct of its pro
ceedings in the premises, to permit the
‘delegation elected from each State to be
present at the reception of all evidence
touching such State or any of its mem
bers, with the privilege of cross-examin
ing witnesses and of introducing counter
evidence, if they shall deem if proper.
And for myself and my colleagues, I,
with deference, request the exercise of
this privilege ia relation to all evidence
having reference to the State of North
Carolina or any of her members elect.
I am, with the highest respect,

Washington, Jan. 24, 1806.
Dear Sir: It is not customary to allow
a cross-examination of witnesses before a
committee appointed to report on a sub
ject not involving individual trials. The
•committee is supposed to be desirous to
ascertain the truth, and capable of mak- am0D "
ing all the examinations necessary.
The committee is quite willing, how
ever, to examine any witnesses who may
be produced luring knowledge of the
subject matter, to any reasonable exient.
I he credentials of members claiming
to be Senators have not been referred to
the committee, and there k no probability
that they will be.
Yours, very respectfully,

Hon. W. A. Graham.
Hillsborough. N. C., Jaa. 29, ’66.
Dear Sir: I am much obliged by yours
of the 24ih. I had supposed the province
of your committee ki embrace that of a
Committee of Elections and Privileges,
before which I take the rule to be, with
out exception, that persons claiming to
be members are permitted to hear what
may be adduced against their claim?, and
State will not do justice to its negro pop-
alatioa in their new condition of freedom.
I do not design to impeach the integ
rity cf t his gentlest**- He is spoken of
in terms of high respeet by persons of our
common acquaintance. It has so hap
pened that I have not met him. But
surely his opinions, loosely expressed, as
they are in his affidavit, (a*d nothing
more fully illustrates the importance of
cross-examination than the want of pre
cision in the language of his statement,)
formed by intercourse, as he admits,
be rewarded as above by
Stevens, Sumner, efc al.
A Question Easier Asked than
Answered.—The New York Times,
asks, “ Where and how did Tennessee
get out of the Uniou ?” It puts the ease
thus:
Mr. Johnson of the United States Sen
ate, and Mr. Maynard, of the House of
Representatives, remained in their seats
as loyal Representatives from the State of
lw thaD'on7fourth*of"the~p€Op!e j alter the ordinance ofMcesaioD
of the State; hie ratme statement of a 1 war adopted b, that State. If the, "ere
design to repudiate tile rebel debt (trhat: entitled to the,r seats then, Congress of
is meant by this I do not comprehend);;
his sweeping denunciation that “ Union j
men and freedmen stand a poor chance I
for justice in the State eourts,” (an asper
sion upon the judicial officers of the
State recently chosen by a Legislature
elected under the restricted system of
suffrage ordained by the proclamation of
the President and Provisional Governor,
as well as an injustice to the general sen
course regarded the secession ordinance
as null and void. If, therefore, secession
did not take Tennessee out of the Union,
when, and liow did she get out ? If Mr.
Mavnard was entitled to his seat in 1861,
after Tennessee had seceded, why is he
“ kept out in the cold ” now t
sheep and hog f had been eaten. Many
of the soldiers swore they wouldn’t eat
it; while others, just as determined, said
they would eat anything, “ Daddy Long-
legs,' 1 as they humorously called Gen.
Gardner, would issue to them as rations.
But the beginning- was everything—who
was to take the initiatory in the matter,
so as to give the example to others, “ there
was the rub.” Gen. Gardner, brave as
lie is nobJcbcaried, offered fifteen pounds
from the first mule killed for his own
mess, to show his that he was willing
to eat the same dainties provided for
them. His example was followed by
nearly all the command. Among the
officers of the post, there was a certain
Arkansas Captain, eommissary in Gen.
Beal’s brigade, who eould not bring his
mind to the “ sticking point.” Swallow
the undiluted mule he wouldn’t, and he
couldn’t; and finally swore he'd be aurn-
cd if he would not starve first. His
brother officers often joked and quizzed
him upon his delicacy in the matter, but
of no avail—the Captain could not be in
duced to Bolace his “ internal arrange
ments ” with roast or fried mule, no mat
ter how hungry he might be.
One day, while sitting in the rear of
our quarters, indulging in an excellent
hash, the only dish upon the table except
“ hoe cake,” the captain stepped up, and
seeing us busily engaged at the meridian
repast, inquired the nature of the dish
which seemed so luxuriant to the palate.
We invited him to partake of such as we
had to offer and satisfy himself on the
point.
“ It is nothing but a hash made of a
piece of the last milch cow in the port,”
encourageingly said we and continued
eating as if life depended upon its rapid-
ity.
“ Hash, eh! last milch cow killed !”
soliloquized the captain, as he slowly sea
ted himself and commenced “ shovelling”
out a plateful of the fragrant hash.—
“ Why, I thought the last cow was killed
a few days ago ?”
“ Oh, no, there was one saved on
the sly by the butcher, but old Frank
smelt it out, an<J gave order* to have it
killed at once—got a nice piece from the
butcher for old acquaintance sake,” said
we, as if beef had been a common article
of consumption with us all the time.
The eaptain sahDbo more, but “ went
in ” with an appetite. The dinner was
enlivened by many sallies of wit on the
part of our guest at those condemned by
cruel war, to partake of the “ hybrid ”
character of meat just then in vogue at
the post; nay, he even invited himself to
dine with us until our “cow meat” should
be exhausted.
The dinner over, pipes filled with fra
grant leaves of the blackberry, a common
substitute for tobacco, were passed around,
much to the gratification of the captain,
who declared that he had never dined
more sumptouslv at any time since he had
honored Port Hudson with his presence.
“ Glad to hear, cap, that you are pleased
with our poor fare.
“ Poor fare ! I think it was excellent.
Now, you see, if I had dined at my quar
ters, I should have been compelled to eat
that confounded mule meat, or have
gone hungry for want of something bet
ter. Thanks, however, to your kind in
vitation, I have avoided the nauseous dose
for one day more, at least.”
We allowed the captain to get his pipe
under full headway, before we again
broke the silence.
“ Captain H , you have been very
complimentary upon the dinner set before
you to-day, and are under many obliga
tions for it; but do you know what you
have eaten ?”
At these words he turned deadly pale.
“ Know what I have eaten ! Certain
ly ! You said the hash was made of a
piece of the last milch cow in the port I”
“ So we' did, captain, but truth may as
well be told now as at any other time.—
That hash was made of mule meat!”
“What I” said he,springing to his feet;
“ and you allowed me to eat it without
telling me what it was ? Look here, sir,
if I thought you meant to insult me, I”
—here he broke dowa—he could contain
himself no longer. The “ retohings,”
“ short comings,” asd “ upbeavings ” of
oar guest, •«* be better imagined than
described. Suffice to say, that after tbe
joke had exhausted itself at his expense,
he “ came down ” as quietly to his mule
meat as if he had been accustomed to
that sort of x beef” all his life.

—Of all the “smart” instances of
Yankee ingenuity, perhaps the smartest
is the trick played upon the authorities
of New Brunswick, after their recent of
fer of $3 for the snout of every bear kill
ed within the colony. A large number
of snouts were recently brought in, chief
ly by Indians, but in course of time it
was discovered that most of the trophies
were imitations only, cunningly manufac
tured of Iudja ruboer and gutta percha
by clever manipulators in the State Of |
the play ©f his countenance would have
told plainly what he said. Its effect on
the wild, untutored, superstitious and
warlike assemblage may be conceived;
not a word was said, but stern warriors,
the “stoics of the woods,” shook with
emotion, and a thousand tomahaws were
brandished in the air. Even the Big
Warrior, who had been true to tha whites,
was for the moment visibly affected, and
more than once I saw his huge hand
erloteh, spasmodically, the handle of his
knife.
And this-was the effect of his delivery,
for though the mother of Tecumseh was
a Creek, and he was familiar with the
language, he spoke in the Northern dia
lect, and it was afterwards interpreted
by the Indian linguist to the assembly.
His speech has been reported, but no one
has done it justice. I think I can repeat
the substance of what he said, and, in
deed his very words:
“ In defiance of the white warriors of
Ohio and Kentucky, I have traveled thro’
their settlements, once oar favorite hunt
ing grounds. No war hoop was sounded,
but there is blood on our knives. The
pale faces felt the blow but knew not
whence it came.
“ Accursed be the race that has seized
on our country and made women of our
warriors. Our fathers, from their tombs,
reproach us as slaves and cowards. I
hear them now in the wailing winds.
“The Muscogees were once a mighty
people. The Georgians trembled at our
wai-whoop, and the dens of my tribe, in
the distant lakes, sung the prowess of
your warriors, and sighed for their em
braces.
“Now your very blood is white, your
tomahawks have no edge, your bows and
arrows were buried with your fathers.—
Oh! Muscogees, brethren of my mother,
brush from your eyelids the sleep of slave
ry; once more strike for vengeance—once
more for your country 1 The spirits of
tho mighty dead complain! The tears
drop from the weepiDg skies I Let the
white race perish!
“ They seize your land ! they corrupt
your women 1 they trample on the ashes
of your dead!
“ Back ! back, up into the great water,
whose accursed waves brought them to
our shores!
“ Burn their dwellings! destroy their
stocks! slay their wives and children !—
The red man owns the country, and the
pale faces must never enjoy it 1
“ War now 1 War forever 1 War on the
living! War on the dead ! Dig their
very corpses from the graves! Our coun
try must give no rest to a white man’s
bones!
“ All the tribes of the North are danc
ing the war dance. Two mighty warriors
across the seas will send us arms.
“ Tecumseh will soon return to his
country. My prophets shall tarry with
you. They will stand between you and
the bullets of your enemies. When the
white man approaches you the yawning
earth shall swallow him up!
“Soon shall you see my arm of fire
stretched athwart the sky. I will stamp
my foot at Tippecanoe, and the very earth
shall shake.”—Claiborris Life of Gtn.

Hints from a Young Farmer.
Ir is said “ a word to the wise is suf-
ficicient.”
Always take one or more newspapers,
for every number will give you infor
mation which will benefit you in dollars.
Be admonished that a stich in time
saves nine, or the laying of a rail, or nail
ing one board, may save the ninth repeti
tion and unruly stock.
Colts must have a great deal of exer
cise.
Don’t be afraid to plough deep. A
few more oats in the spring will make
many more at harvest.
Early fruit trees should be protected
from the frost by spreading straw around
the roots.
Feed your fowls the year round if you
would make them profitable.
Give your calves, which yo* intend to
raise, a little fine hay, and as soon as pos
sible, turn out to grass.
Have a separate pen into which your
pigs ean go and get shelled corn and
milk.
Innovations upon old precedents should
be rare.
Judge not hastily, but examine veil
before you decide.
Keep clean of Shanghais.*
Lime should be accesible to poultry.
Never half do a thing; you uiay thus
lose more in one day than a month can
restore.
Often inspect your stock and keep a
sharp look out for disease and accidents.
.J’ure water should be supplied to eyery
thing.
Quality, not quantity should be the
maxim.
