We don’t like the team any bet ter than you did. Your gate post was our gale post. Tho team wasu had oue —the man at the other end of thq ave nue is unhitching it. Tell your folks to be brave in peace as they were in war. -The early winds of spring—the February and March winds are of more account than you dream of. They are blowing the dead leaves out of the for- rest. They are blowing the dead duoks far out to sea. They are clearing avvny the debris—wheeling the little stioks hither and yon. Bolling, (lying and eddying, around (he leaves and the leaves and Lwiggs are leaving their late resting place, and it will not be long, Bill,before all this rubbish will be . re moved and the grass and flowers will again beautify the oarth'as before. And there shall be no more prowling—ho more ponchers. The man at the other end of the avenue is not a clown, buf foon, a vulgar jestar, a low wit, a boor ish story teller. Ah 1 no Bill I llo is a very good man and you Will like him. Wo like him because he is just. The pebple like him beoause he is generous and statesmanlike. . We have been haying sopao little trouble dp this Way Bill. The rovellers who lately sat in our banquet hall were kibtben scullions, but they are going home soon. And when they have alt gone, wo shall have a very nice party there. Time is loosening thu loo in the river. Some of us no how' jou folks have been used nnd We are telling others. Not long sinoo when we told people that our people when fighting your peo ple were stealing themselves rich, they said wo were disloyal and put us in prison. And 1 they pulled down our printing offices. They threw our ty| e into rivers. They-mobbed • us in our places of business. ' They shot at, and ivounded us oil the street. They with held business from us. They sought to array the people of the. North pgainst those who believed in t°Mng fair. They qid. all these things in the name-of Gad and tile great moral party ! But spring fashions are now coming on Bill,and in a little while you and 1 will meet some- whiere /and will .be good friends,;, and your hoys, aqd our boys after a While, will he loving, the same girls and riding 'own the same lane together.

Measrt Editors J Wo h'dvo just., heard, hero that the military authorities 1 of tho United States went lo Canton, in' Oherokeo oounty, in this State, and.; turned out of jail several persons whPi Were cliarged with crihics—robbery, larceny, &c. The reason assigned for; this liberation of thieves and robbers is, that the persons oburgod with tho crimes oro Union men. I am unwilling to bolievq that this report is true. I feel quite suro that neither the President nor apy high 1 military offioer of the United Stated would.countenance theft or robbery in Union mon any soonor than in rebel*. The groat Law Giver has left on reebrd,' "Thou shall not steal," and l am very confident that the military authorities will not protect from a just punishment any one he ho Union man or traitor,! who is guilty of violating both Ih'o lAw of God and of theStato. I write this that the military author ities in Georgia may see it and correct u report that is giving muoli dissatisfac tion j and if the U. S. soldiers have done, without authority what is report ed, that they may bo punished fbr their conduct. If the military authorities have pre vented the trial ol men, charged by the grand jury with violating the crim inal Taws of the land there, must be somo better reason for it that the' one assign-' ed. Court has been session hero all tho, week, and no military or other,authori-. tv has interfered with the admihist'ra-. tion of justiee; and 1 will bo glad to see an official denial of tho reported In terference in Cherokee.
