THK PRESS a.ND THE PEOPLE
There never hr.- been a time io the history of
this Republic when there was so greet ft duty
devolving upon the Press ot the South. The
social condition of the Southern people has
been completely revolutionised end the minds
•I the people need hirtber preparation before
they will be able fully to accommodate them
aelvea to the circumetaucee into which thev have
been precipitated. The people are somewhat
loat in the maze of d fficulty by which they are
surrounded and in consequence are turning
eagerly to the Press ae their only hope for
guidance. This throws a heavy responsibility
upon that great lever ot power. Those who
stand at the helm feel that the burden is a heavy
one, but, as far as we have been able to ob -
serve, they are coming manfully up to the woik.
We know that the people expect too much of
the Press, and are disappointed in many in
stances of their expectations; but we have yet
to learn that an error on the part ot those who
write tor the public eye is passed over or molli-
Ced and. excused as shou d be the f ults of a
brother. No man is meapable ot wro g do
ing. and unless one is detected in the commiss
ion ot intentional wrong the censure should be
light. Even the stern majraty ot Law lo< ks
with lenience upon the gravest crime if the in
tention to commit that crime is clearly disprov
ed. Is it then just or right that an error, on the
part of those whose business it is to advise and
counsel with their fellows, should receive con
dign punishment at the-hands ot unrelenting
criticism t We trow that no thinking man
would demand so much. The editor is not
more infallible than are most people and conse
quently should be treated with the same degree
of allowance that is meted out to others. Wuen
be shows a disposition to persist in a course ot
policy which be knows iff antagonistic to the
opinions entertained by the m .sees of the peo
ple, then is be to be justly anathematized; but
bo long as be evidences a disposition to advise
the people for the common good, it were chari
table, and even politic to be a little blind to his
faults.
While the editor is the servant of the people,
he is by no means bound to become the expon
ent of tbe too often ill-timed opinions of every
individual. He casis his dignity aside as
■•on as he becomes the tool of any party. To
express tbe views of all who are ready to make
suggestions to him would render him as unrelia
ble as the weatber-cock. Two individuals sel
dom think alike on any important issue, hence,
if be advocate tbe opinions of all, be would be
absolutely powerless of doing good. It is the
province of the Press to tnould the public sen
timent, and not to drift along in its wake. He
should not ask himself if a certain course would
be popular with the people, but rather would
Itbepronm, of grroa It adopted and earrfed tnrt.
That after ail Is the only line of duty he can
mark out for himself. Though a great truth
may be branded as it issues from bis pen, if it
M a truth it will finally substantiate itself. The
same sentiment that threw Gallileo into prison
for tbe promulgation of a great truth is still ex
tant, and operates with tbe same.pernicious in
fluences, and always will. Tbe world- will
never be found fully prepared for a new theory
even though tbe demonstration were as plain as
tbe demonstration of a proposition in Legendre :
but
*■ Truth crushed to earth will riee again,
Tbe eternal years ol Cod are hers ;
But Error, wounded, writhes with pain,
And dies among her worahipere.”
But we did not set out to write tbu
on this subject; we merely intended to
counsel tbe people to close tifeir eyes as much
as poesib.e. to tbe faults of tbe Press and co
operate with it cordially in the great labors that
are devolving upon it Wbat those labors are
tbe people well know; and they know, too, that
it tbe Press is left to prosecute tbe work single
banded and alone it will fall far short of its
object Let tbe people then put a stout should
er to tbe wheel. Work is tbe great reconstruc
tion agent which is to restore our wasted coun
try, and of tbis work there is an allotment foi
•very individual. Let us get tbe public mind
right on tbe important questions that are harass
ing it, and society will soon regulate itself, and
settle down into a state of quietude and -pros
perity. We must expect some
which will have tbe tendency to retard the
work, but a determined effort will smother all
such tbreateniogs and tbe work will go on to a
full accomplishment. The Press is simply tbe
lever, tbe people is the power. Together they
are übiquitous, divided they are powerless.
The editor of a deceased paper in
Buffalo hae libel suits to the amount of $200,-
000 on his bands” and we suppose by the
time bisown lawyers are done with him, he
will have a very poor suit on his back.
>QL.Were Sbakspeare now alive to iae
one of the prevailing fashions, he would probs
ably exclaim :
“ Ob, wbat a “ fell” is there my country
men?"
19* Latest information from Tennessee
seems to indicate that Hawkins has been
elected to Congress over Etheridge. Tbe race
has been a very close one, and is not yet ful
ly decided.
“Suppose” said a teacher to a bright
eyed hopeful, “ there were two bottles on a
shelf, and I were to knock two down, what
would remain ?” “The pieces” answered the
young idea promptly.
lA-Among other appointments recently
made by tbe President, wi notico the name
of Wm. G, Dixon, United States Marshal for
the State of Georgia.
M3F Thomas Francis Meagher has been
appointed Secretary to Montana Territory.
a now sleeping car has been patented
by George M. Pullman of Chicago. It is set
upon sixteen wheels, with two sets of trucks
at each end, with the springs so arranged
that but little of the unevenness of the track
is felt. It is ventilated by registers in the
ceiling, and warmed from beneath by regis*
ters in the sides. By folding doors a smoking
department can be provided at each end.—
There is also a space at each end furnished
with sofas, chairs, Ac , which can be enjoy* d
by persons traveling in a party. It is »o ar
ranged that screens between the berths can
be closed that it will have the appearance of
a splendid day car. Several of these oars are
to be soon placed on the Michigan Central
Railroad.
The limit has uow ceased which Wiis al
lowed the people toi making equitable contraeta
with their former slaves. It will be recollected
that an order issued sometime since required
the people to intorm their negroes of tbe con
dition in which tbe war has left them by the
15tb inst., and also enter into such agreement
with them as Would secure to them employment
until tbe end of the year and at the S ime time
enable the farmers to save their crops. We
have sometimes thought that tbe whites were as
undecided at present as are the negroes. Both
seems to be whirling about in an eddy, unable
•o float out into tbe current. A little time and
i judicious course of action on tbe part ot tbe
white population will obviete all difficulty and
once more set the wheels ot agricultural indus
try in motion. We hope the people will take a
correct view of this matter and not let tbe
country suffer longer from tbis disruption of so
ciety. There is no reason why a full crop may
not be raised next year, and there will be it tbe
people will set to work right.
The negro convention, says the Nash
ville Dispatch ofthe 11th, closed its labors
yesterday. We learn that it was thrown in
convulsions in its last hours, over the ques
tion of finances to meet current expenses,
which amounted to $l5O. The collections
from the delegates fell far short of tbe requi.
site amount, but it was finally talked out of
them. A discussion was also protracted re
garding the printing of tbe proceedings.—
Some wanted ten thousand copies of their
organ printed, containing them ; others held
out f< r twenty-five thousand copies, and oth
ers still for one hundred thousand, that they
might be spread all over the creation and the
Canadas.
g@“The rumor which the “enterprising”
correspondent of tbe Cincinnati Commercial
furnishes that veritable paper with, that the
Southern planters are shipping their negroes
to Cuba, is.simply one of the “ enterprising”
romances that had its origin in the fertile
fancy of one of those contributors which have
less regard for truth than sensation. Why
newspaper correspondents, who are here in
the South, and have abundant opportunities
to make correct observations, will persist in
making such gross misrepresentations, sur
passes us to conjecture.
X *ii—p-T-TE* TrSW. W«nhinrrton save : A
gentleman of tbis city who was in Alexandria
yesterday, says Colonel John S. Mosby attracted
a crowd whenever be made bis appearance, and
bis presence occasioned much indignation
among the soldiers on duty in that city. He
came down from Warrenton to be admitted as a
minister of the bar, but General Wells arrested
him on the charge of having broken his parole.
The Colonel briefly but respectfully contro
verted the point, and tbe General telegraphed
to the Secretary of War for instructions.
8«Y- The New York Herald has come to
the conciusion that the worst punishment
that could be inflicted on Mr. Davis, would
be for tbe Government to maintain a total in
difference to bis past conduct. It thinks
that any other punishment would invest his
offense with the “ dignity of martyrdom.”—
Bennett is a subtle reasoner.
A second attempt has been made to
kidnap Geo. N. Sanders. Tbe plot this time
being discovered beforehand to- tbe police,
and three of the conspirators were arrested. It
seems that some one is determined to have
tbe price that has been set upon George’s
head.
A dispatch from Washington tbe Btb,
o the Cincinnati Commercial says Gen. Ewell
and family bad passed through that city on
their way to Virginia, where they intended to
reside on a farm.
Ahirty five ten's of mail matter is daily
received at the post-office in New York, and
tbe same amount sent off, making seventy tons
or one hundred and filty-eix thousand eight
hundred pounds of matter to be-handled daily.
A Toronto letter to the New York
Herald, speaks of the feeling for annexation
to this country as gradually strengthening
among the people.
The New York Herald mentions tbe
stabbing of a man at a recent bail in that
city, and concludes by saying the “ supposed
stahber escaped.”
We suppose, if any stabber escaped, it was
tbe real one.
B®* The State Treasury at Austin, Texas,
was recently lobbed of thirty thousand dol-i
lars. So says a New Orleans dispatch.
The Second Comptroller lias decided
that men re-enlisting in the Veteran Reserve
Corps are not entitled to the S3OO Govern
ment bounty, paid to three year enlisted men
in active service.
Railroad communication between
Washington and Lynchburg was re-establish*
ed on Monday the 14th.

BY TELEGRAPH.
Nsw York, Aug. 12.—The Herald’s Wash*
ington ep cial says that a large Cabinet ses
sion was held to day, and report says that it
was rather a stormy one. The President’s 1
reconstruction policy is understood to have
been discussed in all its length and breadth,
and he expressed bis determination to adhere
to it, and carry it out regardless of opposition
or consequences
Tbe Herald's New Orleans correspondent,
says continual ai ts of lawlessness are report
ed in portions of Texas b rdering on tbe Rio
Grande, and bnmds -of tbeives invest tbe
country, driving off stock and stealing wbat
they think worth taking.
Gen. Weitzel commanding 25tb iv my corps,
has issued an order, stating that it is proba
ble that tbe command will remain in Texas,
and urging officers to the utmost vigilance in
of improving tbe corps, and bring
ing it to tbe highest point of perfection.
Gen. Canby, commanding in Louisiana,
addressed eu important communication to
Gov. Wells, of that State, reo.uestipg him to
warn tbe local civil officers against attempt*
ing to enforce police laws for the regulation
ot negroes which are in conflict with the act
establishing the Freedman’s Bureau, to the
agents of which the supervision of these mat
ters exclusively pertain.
Time’s Washington special says: Robert
Ridgeway of the Richmond "Whig, and John
Barbor, President ofthe Orange and Alexan
dria Railroad, t*day, announced themselves
for Congress from Virginia -y.
Since August 1 t, there bes been mustered
out of service 60. regiments and batteries,
including an aggregate of over 20,000 rrien.
Receipts for Internal Revenue today
amounted to $1,305 995,09. -
The Railioads in Virginia are rapidly ap
proaching completion, and will shortly all be
in running order. Cars will run from Lynch
burg to Alexandria on Monday, Richmond
and Aquiu Creek roads will connect at Fred
ericksburg in a few days, thus doing away
with the present staging of ten miles. Steps
are being taken to re-open at once the Man
assas Gap road to Front Royal and Strasburg
and the unfinished Loudon and Hampton
road to be pushed to completion at an early
day.
The Railroad to Lynchburg will open for
travel next Monday, under the Superinten
dence of Wm. McCafferty, Supt. Orange and
Alexandria Rai road.
The Herald’s spe ial says that Mr. Grier,
of tbe original South Carolina delegation, is
in the city, dud reports affairs in that State
progressing to the entire satisfaction of eve
ry one. Gov. Perry has been well leceived
by the people of that State. Mr. Grier knew
nothing of the reported collision between
tbe civil and military authorities, until he
read it in the radical papers of the North.—
He pronounces it a fabrication throughout.—
Gen. Fullerton, of Freedmen’s Bureau, re
turned to tbe city last evening, from a tour
of observation in Eastern Florida and Cen*.
tral Georgia. The trip occupied about four
weeks, and was productive of much valuable
insight into the operations of tbe system
adopted by the bureau for the developement
of the freedmen.
From close observation throughout the
S ate alluded to, Gen. Fullerton is inclined
to believe that the number of whites and
blacks who receive rations, is about equal.
The railroads ami other facilites for travel,
are rapidly being restored to running order
in Georgia and Florida, and in passing
through the country there is no danger wbat*
ever to be apprehended. The crops are re
ported to be looking so promising as to put
all fears of a scarcity of breadgtuffs in those
States al rest.

New York, Aug. 12.—The dry goods market
trade of this wet k has been ihoderately active
without «ny important changes in value. The
partial stagnancy of money has checked the
tendency to speculation in some lines of goods,

ness io the prices. The Southern dem ind is be
coming gradually more important.
Memphis, August 12.—The affair and

Tennessee connected with tbe Custom Hoose
and the United States public property at this

COI.OHEL MOSBY.
Thcßichmond correspondent ofthe Philadel
phia Enquirer writes as follows of Colonel John
8. Mosby :
When tbe life of John Singleton Mosby comes
to be written, it will show a succession of startl
ing personal adventure unsurpassed by those ot
any partisan chief on record. That Mosby was
always hanging on the outskirts ot our armies,
cutting off our trains, capturing our stragglers,
and barrassing us in every possible way tbe
people generally know; but they do not know
that he went in and out of our cmnos at bis own
pleasure, and was never once detected.
It, is eaid (and undoubtedly truly) that while
Burns.de lay opposite Fredericksburg, in tbe
winter of 1862, Mosby dined with him in the
guise of a Union farmer from across the river,
and gathered with his shrewd cun.iing, from tbe
v-nial table-talk, much valuable inlormatiou,
with which he regained the rebel lines without
molestation,
One ot the best things told of him occurred
thatsame winter, and in the same neighborhood,
burnside, that winter, was literally badgered by
Mosby. -He seemed übiquitous, and at last it
became dangerous to go from camp at all, as
the least ramble was sure to result in capture
by Mosby. At last Burnside became wearied
out, and determined to capture the partisan,
and to tbis end sent detatchmeuts to scour toe
country thoreugbly, and bring him in dead or
alive. One day one ot these detatebments, led
by a Lieutenant Colonel, was going up the
Dumfries road, when, from a house in sight of
tiie Federal lines, a man em-rged dressed in
the uniform of a Federal C.i| tain, and ait -nded
by oue orderly, dre aed in our cavalry blue. .
At the gate were two horses marked U. S.,
and furnisbed.with our regulation saddle and
bridle, and, mounting, the Captain rode up
and accosted the Colonel, who was still
marching up the road. Tbe Colonel informed
bis new companion that "he was in search of
this——Mosby, and asked if he had heard
anything of him. Tho Capta n had heard
•nd knew to a certainty that, an hour before,
Mosby had been at Jones', four miles.up the
road. Visions of promotion and newspaptr
paragraphs dancing before him, the Colonel
ordered “trot, march,” while the Captain,
with bis orderly dashed across a field to a
farm bouse to get some milk, he said, before
returning to camp. Arrived at Jones’, the
Colonel found that Mosby had, indeed, been
there, but also found that he had departed in
the direction of Burnside’s camps. Buck tbe
Colonel beat in baste, making inquiries eve
rywhere, but finding no trace. Arrived again
at the house from which the communicative
Captain had appeared, the woman accosted
him. and this colloquy ensued:
Woman —Kurnel, who was that ere Y’ank
Capting met ye hear as ye was gwine totber
way ?
Colonel —I don’t know his name, but he
belonged to a Massachusetts regiment.
Woman—Yeas, well kneow aint you sold 7
that air was John Mosby,
Colonel—ll 1
And ho rode back to camp and eaid noth
ing whatever about his morning’s work, ex*
cept to report that he had not captured him.
Some of bis men did, however, and that story
floated about tbe army during the rest of the
war.
Many such things as this are told of Mosby,
and his power for mischief was sensibly felt
in the Valley last summer and autumn, that
Phil. Sheridan used to swear at him in his
most hearty style. Mosby now is a citizen of
th“ United States, no better and no worse
than the thousands of other Virginians who
have laid down their arms.
Feeding Pigeons in Venice.—lt is a bl; •
toricttl lad that upwards of a hundred year*
ago some bird fancier of tbe city of Venice
died, leaving a bequest of money to be ex
pended in feeding pigeons in that city. Trava
elers say that at the hour of 2 o’clock P. M.
is the time fixed for the performance. It is
an interesting sight. A friend described to
us a few days ago, the exhibition as he saw
it. A short time before the hour for feeding,
tbe pigeons began to assemble and perch
upon the buildings near the place, and set
themselves at work in making their toilet for
dinner. A town clock near by struck the
hour, whereupon the pigeons, as if they un
derstood tbe signal, simultaneously descend
ed to the plaza whore the bird seed was de
livered to them. After obtaining their dinner
they returned to tho cotes in the dilfsrent
pails of the city.
