WOMKN AND THE WAR.
Woman has more or less given cast to eve
ry i* Ocular age of the world’s history. From
the earliest traditional periods of the great
volume of the world, dowu to the times in
which we live, times whose history is yet
vivid in the minds of the people, the part wo
man has borne is indefatigably a prominent
one. The periods of Roman history that are
most illustrious, are those in which her wo
men were most virtuous and patriotic. When
the gates of the temple of James were flung
open, and the women bade their fathers, hus
bands and sons go to battle for their country
or for conquest, the Roman eagle spread its
wings in triumph over the battle field. Then
every Roman matron was a Lucretia, every
Roman mother was a Cornelia, every Roman
maiden was true to her troth.
And so in the history of other nations.—
Though woman has seldom been instrumen
tal in inaugurating any especial epoch, there
are numberless instances in which she, by her
virtues and indomitable perseverance and fi
delity, have shaped them. She is always true
to the cause of her countrymen. She sends
her dear ones to the field to do battle for her
and her country. While the “world is full
of Florence Nighlengales” it is equally full of
Archedamias, who are ready to say to their
faltering champions, even when success is
bid under a gathering cloud of revrses,
We are brave men’s mothers, brave men’s wives,
We are ready to do or dare;
We are ready to man yonr walls with our lives,
And sun g your bows with our hair.
In our own t*me, and in the war just ended,
the women of both sections of the country
have left the impress of their virtues upon it,
and history will record many deeds of their
noble self-sacrifice and devoted patriotism.—
On this subject the Louisville Journal speaks
better than we can. In its issue of the 10th,
it says : “we believe it was Thackeray who
said, “ the world is full of Florence Nighten
gales." The great satirist who was no spaci
al admirer of the gentler sex, yet he was wil
ling to do women justice when the severities
of his nature were relaxed, and the pulsations
of his heart were freed from the restraints of
a cold, rigid intellectuality. It is true that
the world is full of Florence Nighlengales—
fa ler by far than grave-yards are of “ guilt
less” Cromwells, or “mute inglorious Mil
tons.” Our late terrible visitation by the
sword has shown this conclusively. Almost
every hamlet throughout our widespread
country has furnished its ministering angel,
who has bent in gentleness over the wounds
of the wounded soldier, and poured out oil
and wine with words of kindest encourage
ment.
•• Some there are who heedlessly accuse the
ladies of the land of having been instrumental
in bringing about those feelings of bitterness
and estrangement which were the cause of our
internecine troubles. But the charge is founded
on exceptions, and, in any general sense, is al
together untrue. In the South there were no
female politicians before the war ; and in the
North political eccentricities ware indulged in
by only a few of the moat unwomanly of strong
minded extremists, who were willing to unsex
themselves tor the questionable advantages of
notoriety. It may therefore be assumed that
the women of America bad no agency in bring
jog about the war. As soon, however, as the
I thunder of the first gun was heard, there was a
f d.vision of the female clans, and all their sym-
L patties were enlisted either on one side or the
[pother. There was no weighing of cou.equences
waiting tor those convictions which arise from
PLlogicai deductions ; judgment, in most women.
. / is subordinate to the affections, and the affec-
V lions clustered around those fathers, husbands,
sons and brothers who had armed themselves
for the strife on opposite sides, each firm in bis
convictions—each determined to achieve suo
ce-s.
•‘When the struggle, fierce and deadly, kept
on from year to year, and the severities of the
cutup became irksome to the contestants, then
it was that the influence of woman was felt in
all its powers —then did the Flotence Nigbten
g lies appear I The Northern women, strong in
their patriotic confidence—strong in the num
bers who fonght bn their aide—strong in the
sympathies ot the great outer world—found
eucouragement everywhere and gave it without
•tint. Their duties were scarcely sacrifices !
Tbeir labors were the labors of a whole-hearted
■ar’
“ With Southern women the case was d ff r
r 'Snt. Though the ‘heart of the rebellion’ was in
their hearts, yet in ministering to the cause they
were obliged to j-übmit to privations of the ut
most severity. Nursed in the lap of luxury, as
many of them were—accustomed to every im
aginable indulgence which gallantry could
o mrnand or money purchase—they were wil
ling not only to relinquish these, but to-become
bumble toilers—manufacturers of their own
apparel, spinners, knitters, and weavers of sol
diers’ clothing—because, in their mistaken pa
triotism. they held the cause of the rebellion
sacred! Though frequently called to mourn
the loss of loved ones whom they had sent forth
with words as heroic as those of 'he Spartan
mother to her favorite son—‘Bring back your
shield or return upon it’—still there was no
flinching, no timidity, no shadow ot doubt as to
ultimate success. Had their hopes, which gave
color to their confidence, but proved prophetic,
history would have embalmed their mimvs, and
their deeds, in song and story, would bare held
a chosen plaee„ But it was not thus to be. Th *
attempt which they consecrated in their ‘heart
of hearts’ as a glorious revolution proved only
a gigantic rebellion, and in bilterness of spirit
tnoy were obliged to acknowledge their defeat.
- But, it may be asked, of what avail is it to
recount these things at present! Much, we an
swer. The undeniable facta enumerated show
that Southern women are not the listless crea
tures of fashion and tolly that fiction-mongers
delight to paint them. They have a will, a soul,
a character, whicu, if directed aright, is suffi
cient to redeem the past and brighten all the
future. With all their faults we have strong
fi:tb io our SdUlbern women. Henceforth they
■will iznoro the petty ebidfaCter cf ‘pe tel play
thing’ and assume the grander role of ‘helpmale
anti compdniosi.’ A great work is before them.
Let them do it as troe women snould.”
Maximilian has issued a decree order
ing I refugees frdm the United Blates, to
migrate into the interior.
A COCK-aND-A Bt LI, STORY.
The following, says the New Yord Evening
Pott, comes to us from the Associated Press
Reporter ; it bears upon it all the marks of a
genuine roorback, and an extremely fine spec
imen at that. Who is “Judge Carter?”—
What is the extent of “ the South” in which
he has made “an extensive tour?” Did
he go to Texas, or Mississippi, or A übain*,
or where? And why, having made ibis “ exa
tensive tour,” did he “return” to Raleigh?
Is Raleigh now the centre of the universe,
the headquarters of extensive tourists, the
base of supplies for travellers —aud travel
lers’ rates?
And what is the Sou l hern Sun ? Where is
it published ? By whom ? Where did “the
Judge” get his copy ? Does he believe the
very remarkable tale it tells? or does any
one else io Raleigh believe it?
Finally, as there are a certain number of
credulous fools in every community, It is
worth while to alarm them periodically with
such old women’s tales? Or if Judge Carter
and the Southern Sun tell the truth, would
it not be well to substantiate by particulars
such stories as this ?
“ Raleigh, N. C., September I.—Judge
Carter, who has returned from an extensivo
trip through the South, states that tbe cruel
ties to the freedmen, and the number of hom
icides among them, by tbe whites, are in
creasing to a fearful extent, especially in pla
ces where tbe troops are being withdrawn.
“Tbe Judge has a copy of tbe Southern
Sun, which says that if the Yankees aro alarms
ed at tbe killing of a few hundred negroes a
day, in Slates wbere they bat e the protection
of Yankee troops to acertaiu extent, what will
be tbeir alarm after tbe departure of the mili
tary forces, and the re-admission into tbe
Union of these States as sovereign powers,
who will then have a complete organization
of the Mili.ta in each county, which will give
the South a standing army that can bid defis
ance to tbe world.”
From tbe far east, from beyond the
br mil ocean and the land, says the Louisville
Democrat,an awful scourge bus bieu lor months
making its way westward. A terror that mocks
tbe diplomacy of statesmen, that palsies tbe
intellect of the General, that lausrhs at tbe
glittering of arms aud aim es. is m-k i g us re
sistless way to our shores. Tbe Asiatic chol-ra
bas reached Marseilles. In spile i f ail obst ruc
tions, all sanitary precautions, it comes to
wards us, an exhausted, broken people, tried
by affliction and disaster, and helpless from a
long and bloody war.
Our Minister at Constantinople has written to
us to warn us, but the warning can oniy teach
us to mitigate, we fear, not avoid, tbe pesti
lence. It was but thirty-six hours from L .n
--don, and from London to our shores is but
twelve days. All that can be done should be
done promptly ; but the hope is that Pn vi
donce will bend down her silver shield ot frost
before it comes, against which the arms of pes
tilence may strike in vain.
“Arrab-na-Pogue,” it appears, is an
endless play. A London paper, curiously
enough, estimates that it is played simuliaue
ously iu tbtee quarters of the globe —in Lon
don, Manchester, New Yotk, San Francisco,
and Melbourne, Australia, But tbe difference
in time between tbe allies named bas this sin
gular effect—“that “Arrah n>-Pegue” is
played all the day long, for when tbe great
tower scene is reached in Manchester and in
London, Arrah’s cabin doo* is first opened be
fore her friends io New Yoik, and when tbe
New Yorkers rise from the enjoyment of tbeir
play the San Franciscans sit doiyn to it.
The destruction ot lite and limb on
railroads has, of late, reached such a fearful
magnitude that, notwithstanding the familiari
ty of tbe country with death by violence, in
every conc’eivab.e form that wickedness could
devise, the people are really becoming alarm
ed, and the subject is beginning to attract some
attention. From January Ist to August 28th,
1865, we have an estimate of the accid»-n s on
railroads, aud the number of persons killed and
wounded, showing in tbe aggregate 128 acci
dents ; number of persons killed, 266 ; num
ber of wounded, 1.109.
JsSr- But littleTSkion was paid to tbe in
famous test oath of Missouri, as designed to
mix politics with religion, by tbe ministers of
St. Louis, last Sunday, the 3d inst. As a gen
eral thing religious services were held as usual.
Il will now be seen what course the rabid Rad
ical Abolitionists ol that State will pursue. It
is more than possible that Gratiot bastile will
be filled with those members who dired to
preach without fl st taking tbe oath.

The Cincinnati Commercial of yesterday has
the following ridiculous s< ry :
An amusing scone occurred at the Pi oc dx
Hotel, in Levinglon, on Friday night, It,st. At
alate hour allt.be guests of. the bouse were
suddenly aroused bv lhe screams of a woman,
winch seemed to come from a room in the third
story ot the building In a lew miniiros the
hulls Os the hotel were filled with worn'fl and
men in their night-clothes, all b-nt on ascer
taining the cause of the alarm. It turned out.
tbit a young Indy had drearm-d that a man was
in tier room hence tbe disturbance. When lhe
matter was explained h> Colon I Grigsby, the
landlord, the gueto* commenced a hasty retreat
to tbeir rooms, and in the confusion which en
sued many v-ry ludicrous scenes oc< wred. A
young married lady becoming separated Irom
her husband and being a total stranger in tbe
bouse, ran pell m-H into the room of Capt. G.,
of tbe United states rny. She did not discover
her mistake until the ga l-nt Captain, who bad
preceded her but a moment, cried out, “Keep
off. keep.” when another screaming almost
equaling tbe first took place. Several persons,
wnose rooms were on the Hist fl >or, went <iown
one flight ot steps too many, and landed in the
office, where by this time quite a number bad
assembled. A well-known physician Irom
Lou sville got so bewilderen in searching for
his room that he finally squatted down in lhe
hall and called out at the too of his voice for a
porter to come aud show him the way. Con
ductor Taylor, of the Kentucky Central Rail
road, mail agent Morrow, and a well known
Quartermaster, who does not live a thousand
miles from this city, figured conspicuon ly in the
scene, but we me under a solemn promise to
I rfiem not to panicuUrizc their exploits on the
I occasion.

FROM UKNKICAI* HOWARD.
The following order establishes new regu
lations for the settlement of confiscateAlands
in the Southern States :
“War Dkpaht’t, Bureau or Rkfusres, 4
Freedmen and Abandoned Lands, V
Washington, D. C., Sept. 4, 1865. J
“Circular No. 13, of July 28, 1865, bom
this bureau, is hereby rescinded, and tbe fol
lowing rules and regulations are adopted for
the purpose of establishing a defiinite and
uniform policy relative to abandoned 1 reds,
or real property and lands, or real property
to which the United States shall have acquir
ed title by confiscation or sale, or otherwise,
which now or may hereaftqr come under tbe
control of this bureau, by virtue of the act of
Congress approved March 3, 1865, establishing
and by orders of the President, to-wit: Gen
eral Orders No. 110, War Department, June
7, 1865. Abandoned lands referred to in the
law and regulations governing this bureau
are defined according to section two of an
act of Congress, approved July 2, 1864, as
follows, viz : Property, real or personal, shall
be regarded as abandoned when the lawful
owner thereof shall be voluntarily absent
therefrom and engaged either in arms or oth
erwise in aiding or encouraging the rebellion.
“ Second—Property will not be regarded
as confiscated until after the decree of the
United States Court for the district in which
the property may be found has been made, by
which the property is condemned as enemy's
property, and becomes the property of the
United States.
“ Third—All tbe abandoned land or real
property, and all land or real property to
which the United States shall have acquired
title by confiscation or sale or otherwise, that
uow is or may hereafter come under control
of the Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen and
Abandoned Lands by virtue of said act and
order of the President, is aad shall be set
apart for use of loyal refugees an J freedmen,
and so much as may be necessary assigned
to tb.-m ns provided in section fourth of an
act establishing the bureau, viz: ‘To every
male citizen, whether refugee or freedmen,
as aforesaid, '.here shall be assign 'd not more
than forty acres of such land, and the person
to whom it is assigned shall be protected in
the use and enjoyment of the land for the
term of three years, at an annual rent not ex
ceeding six per centum upon the value of
said land a', it was appraised by the State au
thorities in the year 1860, for the purpose of
taxation, and in case no such appraisal can
be found, then the rental shall be based upon
tbe estimated value of the laud in said year,
to be ascertained in such manner as tbe Com
missioners may by regulation prosecute. At
the end of said term, the occupants of any
parcels so assigned may purchase tbe land
and receive such title thereto as the United
8 alas can convey, upon paying therefor the
value ot tbe land as ascertained and fixed for
ihe purpose of determining ths annual rent
aforesaid.’
•■Fourth All lands or other real property
within the several States, viz : Virginia. North
Carolina, south Carolina. Georgia, Florida,
Alabama, Mississippi, Tennesse, Kentucky,
Missouri, Maryland, Arkansas, Louisiana and
Texas, to which tbe United 8t tes bas acquired
or shall acquire title by confiscation or sale, or
oiber abandoned real property in those states,
provided said pioperty, whether confiscated or
abundon-d, remaining unsold or otherwise dis
posed ot shall have been properly trans
ferred to the bureau upon requisition of the
Commissioner or Assistant Commissioner shall
be considered as under tbe control ot tbe Com
missioner ot Refugees, Freedmen and Aban
don Lauds, for tbe purpose hereinbefore set
forth and for tbe time authorized by tbe act
establishing the bureau ; and no part or par
cel ot said confiscated or abandoned property
shall be surrendered or restored to the former
owners or other claimants, except such surren
der or restoration be authorized by said Com
missioner.
“Fifth Assistant Commissioners will as rap
idly as possible cause accurate descriptions ot
all confiscated and abandoned lauds anil other
confiscated and abandoned real property that
is uow or m-y hereafter com- under their con
trol, to be made, and besides ke ping a record
of such themselves, will forward monthly to
the Commissioner of the Bureau copies of such
descriptions in the manner prescribed by cir
cular No. 10, of July 11, 1865, from this bu
reau. They will, with as linle delav as possi -
ble, select and set apart such confiscated and
abandoned lands and property as may be
deemed necessary tor the immediate use of ref
ugees and freedmen, the specific division of
which into lots and the rental or sale therof,
according to tbe law establishing tbe bureau,
will be completed as soon as practicable and
reported to the Commissioner. In tbe selec
iton aud setting apart of such lands and prop
erty care will be used to take that about which
• here is tbe least donbt that this bureau should
have custody and control of.
“Sixth -Whenever any land, or other real
property that shall come into the possession of
his bureau as ‘abandoned,’ does not fall under
the definition of ’abandoned,’ as set forth in
ection two of the act of Congress approved
T uly 2, 1864, hereinbefore mentioned, it will be
'ormally surrendered by the Assistant Commis
nitier of tbe bureau for the State within which
' ach real estate is si'uated, upon its appearing
■nat tbe claimant did not abandon the property
tn the sense defined in said section and act.
“Seventh—Former own-rs of property held
by this bureau as abandoned, who claim is
restoration on the ground of having received
lhe pardon of tbe President, will, as tar as
practicable, forward tbeir applications to tbe
Commissioner of the Bureau,through tbe super
'll tendeuts and assistant commissioners of the
districts and states in which the property is
•itnated. Each application must be accompa
nied by : Ist. A copy of special pardon of the
I’iesident of the United States, or of the oath
under his amnesty proclamation when they are
not embraced in any of the exceptions therein
■numerated. 2d. Proof of title. 3d. Evidence
that tbe property bas not been co fl-cited o
libelled in any United States court, or, if u
helled, that proceedings against it have been
discontinued. Officers of the bureau though
whose hands such applications may pass will
endorse thereon such facts us may assist, tbe
Commis ioner in his decision, stating especial
ly the use to which the property is put by the
bureau. O. O. Howard, Major-General.

Aband d Lands.

“Andrew J hn son,
“President, of lhe United States.”
No Confiscation unless found Guilty of
Treason. The correspondent of tbe New York
Express Says:
"1 l ave just learned a very important recent
declaration made by the President to the Ala
bama Delegation, who complained to h m of the
blighted effect ot the proceedings in confisca
ion in that State, and be replied to them that
<1 confiscation could take place or have a legal
fleet, except alter n legal conviction of tbe
■arties tor treason. Y"U will at once realize
he effect of such a decision, for it will upset
nd render null and void every act of confi-ca
,’on that has been enforced at the South, as I do
■ iot believe in any one case have parlies been
■ reviously tried and convicted ot treason.
"I have this information from a Irie.nd, who
i ays he was told it by one of the delegrl.ion to
whom it was made, all ol whom are highly gea
ifled by it. It. is certainly the only proper and
■gal course ; for, by what rule, precedent., or
iw, can we punish a man as a traitor, without
>ving praved him to be such. It. is like hang
up a man for an alleged murder and then
tying him. I also understand that Chief Jus
ice Chase has expressed the same opinion.”
®egr“ A Washington special says the num
ber of troops on the pay and muster rolls of
the United Slates Army at the present time is
as follows: Regulars, 13,000’ white volun
teers, 100,000; colored troops, 90,000. The
□ umber of men in the field is estimated it
105,000.
