Newspaper Scandal
It hst been frequently eaid that a
penny-**liner may deal with an indi
▼id nl up North with impunity ; but in >
the Spilth the cow-skin was the penalty
for putting one’s name in print It
is trn|h to a great extent. A man at
the N> ith may be assailed and villiiied
a</ libitum, by scriblera, without at
tempt rg any mcansof redress, unless
the writer heedlessly brings himself
) - within the reach of the law, when fc
■ suit t« r damages is instigated, and the
poor ‘poll” of the garret is mulcted of his
last pt noy. But in the South such dirty
affairs arc usually settled by a summa
ry application of cow-ekin. ;
W. have recently had two examples
of this. One in the case of Mr. Pol*
lard, of the Richmond Examiner, who
cowhided the correspondent of the New
York rimes for mentioning his name
too fr ely in his communications. The
other in the case of Mr. A. T. btewart,
tbe great millionaire. He has caused
the arieat cf the New York ctfrrespou.
<le»«t us a St. Lottis journal, and has
sued the proprietor of the Journal for
lib, ). He had firaVbeen defamed in the
Po/ier Gazette, and commenced legal
proceedings against the proprietor who,
however, evaded the consequences by
amid- apology. The other case is not
yet decided.
The Nation concludes a bit of gossip
on this subject, as follows:
We Americans, who have so much
civil liberty, have singularly little in
dividual freedom, and it is to be ac
knowledged that the palladium of our
libe;ties is often made to bear rather
b< avily upon us. From thrones; and ’
crow is, and usurpations ot political
Enver we are tolerably safe ; but we
ive our tyrants, nevertheless. The
number of chiels among us taking notes
with a view to printing them is out of
all proportion to the census, and the
‘•Sweet little cherubs who Bit up aloft”
in the filth stories of the daily newspa*
per ■ ffices, writing articles, have a sharp
er toth for private character than could
be wished. There are laws for libel on
our statute-books, but they have hereto
fore been of very difficult and infrequent
application. Now that Mr. Stewart,
however, has Heroically illustrated the
fact that they do afford certain redress,
we hope the lesson will be lost neither
np u our professional brethren nor their
vic tins. It was, of c«u ae, Mr. btewai-t’s
unlatbomable purse which contained his
success; but then, it-is usually rich and
prominent men who are assailed, aud
these have the means of defence made
kn-wu to them. We imagine, that if
they pursued and prosecuted their cue*
viu^.'q.Ma«ir r SIV' sttsic loxusncAl,''
• nW-do'm’trcftab protest public as well
as private reputation. We have grown
to have a sad character for morals, or the
want of them, in our large cities, by
virtue of justsuch stories as Mr. Stewart
has shown to be false. The ginger is
now and then hot in the mouth, it cannot
be gainsayed; but in many cases the sa
lacious conlet with which New York cor»
respondents, and, lewd journalists of the
baser sort, enrich the newspapers is utter
fiction. Unless the tendency to scandal
is in seme way checked, we shall have,
with a really not very wicked civilization,
such a state of things as exists in some
European countries, where unspotted
reputations are unknown, and purity of
lif: is no safer from infamy than its op
posite.
Orphan’) Home.
The following is a synopsis of the prin
ciple features of a bill which has been
introduced into the Legislature by J. A.
W. Johnson, Chairman joint Committee,
proposing to establish an Orphan’s Home
in this State.
It is to be established at or near At
lanta and is to be called the “Georgia
S ; tte Orphan Home’’ “ and is to be
the properly of the State.
The Governor shill appoint a com
mittee. of three who shall delect and pur
chase or receive by donation, at or near
Atlanta, a piece of land suitable for the
purpose, ant to superintend the erection
thereon of suitable buildings.'
The. Governor shall appoint nine trus
tees who shall take the property in charge,
bold in trust all donations intended as
endowments, &c.
The officers of the Home are to be
appointed by th® trustees and cmsist- of
a Superintendent, Treasurer, Matron
and such tedchers as may be necessary.
The children of deceased Confederate
and State Soldiers-ate te have the pref
erence over all others, next to this class
all other indigent orphans, and last the
children of indigent and distressed pas
rents who are not able to support them.
Orphans and indigent children, re
commended by the Ordinaries of the re
spective counties shall be received into
said Home, io proportion to the number
•f indigent children in each county.
The last sale of negioes in the Valley
of Virginia, was made by a gentleman of
unton, April seventh, eighteen hun
«d 'and sixty-five. He sold two negro
children, aged nine and twelve years, for

Crtk Speech.
We make the following extracts from '
° . i
the speech of Col. Hillyer, delivered in >
New York ou the 9th da\- of February,
iust. We wish we could give the whole
of the speech. Its length precludes its
publication. It is fair, opon, honest,
manly—the speech of a soldier. lie has
been among us, before aud since the
mighty struggle of the past four years,
and he tells a truthful story of our senti
ments and opinions. He said the people
of the Soufh considered the President’s
i plan of restoration with caution and de
liberation.
‘‘Amid their deflated homes, with
heavy hearts and crushed pride, they ac
cepted it in good faitti, and have perform
ed their part honestly aud manfully. I
speak wherof I know I have lately re
turned from a visit to the South. I
traversed largo portions of Tennessee,
Mississippi and Alabama. 1 met men
from Georgia, Florida and Louisiana. I
talked with people of these States of all |
conditions. I talked with men,from the >
North-who have settled there since the j
war. I talked with Federal officers and '
employees of the Treasury Department. :
I talked with black men as well as white ,
men—with women and children. lat |
tended their churches and theatres. I
read their newspapers. I went, whenev-> i
er I had the opportunity, into their social j
circles. 1 listened to conversations on !
their street*corners. I was determined
to know bow that people felt, and what |
they intended. My observation taught
me that the Southern people have very
little love but a great deal of respect for
the Yankees. As long as the. new-made
graves are unsodded—as long as there
are empty chairs in every household.sug
gesting the occupants of those ir-aves —
we cannot expect that they will be in*
. dined to kiss the hand that has smiitm
them. But the manhood and courage
and endurance which is essential to the
success of even superior numbers, and
which thwarted them on so many battle
fields, raised the Yankee character ip
their estimation far above what it was
before the tvar. Whatever may be said
of the South, it must be admitted that
they are a brave people To deny it is
’ to rob our heroes of all that made them
heroes. Brave men, under most circum
stances, respect each other and trust each
I other. Grant and Sherman, to-day,
would place the most implicit reliance
1 upon the plighted word of Lee qr John
! ston. It is only necessary to cultivate
1 respect and confidence. Kindly feeling
f will soon follow. My observation taught
me, next, that the people of tbe South
accept the result of the war as the.full
. and final determination of the que-tion
-of tbe right of a State to secede. Most
I of the original secessionists of the South
> are, to-day, earnest and zealous loyalists.’’
Os the late slaves he speaks as fol
lows:
» “Tbe suggestions so industriously
circulated in the North that the people
r of the South are looking forward to the
r time when they can re establish slavery,
< is false as false can be, and without the
shadow of foundation. My observations
further taught me that, as a general
rule, tbe people of the South have no
animosity towa-d the frebdtr.an. On the
contrary, they have a much more genu
ine sympathy .nd exercise more practi- ,
S9 l .UhHosqjthy tojardjthem than many
there was ftn animosity ttelween the ra.
ces, it was between the non-slaveholder
and the negrc. If a war of races should
ever come upon that people and results
as it necessarily must, in the extermina
tion of the negro, it will be the result
of the action of over zealous friends,
abroad. The happiest negroes I saw in
the South were those at their plantation
houses. Tens of thousands of this un
fortunate race, who, abandoning the
plantations, have congregated in the
city, are homeless and helpless, are rot
ting away in filth, and destitution and
disease. The experience cf army’ offi
cers is almost unanimous that the ma
jority of the freedmen who have become
camp followers, have found that thfe
road to freedom leads but to the grave.
Gen. John D. Stephenson, a distinguish
ed officer lately in command at Atlan- -
ta, Ga., told me in Washington a few
days ago that he had seen so great mor
tality among the freedmen about the
camps that he was satisfied the negro
could not survive either the diseases or
srtces of the white man—and yet to
those who leave their homes these are
generally the first, fruits of freedom.— I
The prevalent opinion at the North that
there was no sympathy between the
master and slave at the South is a great
.error. The history of this war should
have taught us better. When it com
menced we all thouglA that the sound of
our arms marching South would be the
key-note for insurrection throughout the
Rebel States. On the contrary, tbe re*
lation of master and slave was but lit
tle disturbed outside of the trail of our
•army. Slavery would exist throughout ,
the South to-day, notwithstanding the ■
war, were it always true that “who !
would be free himself must strike the ’
blow.’’
He spoke of the pilgrimage of Gen.
Carl Schurz through the South—which,
Col. Hillyer says was made at bis own
suggestion and request, and not in ac
cordance with any desire of the Presi
dent, unless it was a desire to be rid of
his importunity—for the President well
knew that Carl Schurz was not the man
who would have opportunity or discrim
ination or impartiality on atrip through
the South to enable him to look'into the
Southern heart, and feelings and feel its
pulse. He was known before the war.
“General Schutz was known to them, as
a child of German radicalism, a man of
genius, but Utopian in politics, tran
scendental in philosophy, and sceptic 1
in religion.
♦‘With the narrow prejudice which'
so often accompanies strong convictions,
he bated most vehemently, not so much
the political opinions to which his wi re
averse as those who entertained them.
Regarding him, therefore, as their big
ot te<l and implacable enemy, coming
not to ascertain merits but to exagger
ate faults, he was, of course, denied I

Letter from the Ohio.
| Returning Home—A T«lp Down the Ohio
—Comfort* of Steamboat Trave. —Re-
‘ flections—lucidcm a. «&e.» Jkc.
i Ohio River, Between Lou. ts: Gin., 1
Feb. Ititb, 1860. )
My last to you was from New York
i City, since which time I have retraced
i my wanderings, and this first Friday
night of Lent finds me on the way home
—n place that may be neither so exten
sive or magnificent, but dearer far than
all this comfortable Yankee land*
A trip down the Ohio is never unin
teresting, take it when and how you
may. Under pteseut mattage'taent, it is
exceedingly comfortable. This good
craft is U|e Gen. Lyttle, named in honor
| of a man who was killed in one of the
! battles of the late war. He will be re*
j membered more for his literary than
■ military achievements. He wrote those
| noted lines called “Anthony and Cleopa*
■ tra.’’ It is probably the largest boat on
I the Ohio river, and is certainly One of
! the best. Since supper souie one sug
gested, what place could be more com-
I sortable ? and I answered none; for
everything is here that could be sug
gested by the wants of travelers. Clean
and spacious berths, long tables clothed
with spotless linen, and filled with every
delicacy afforded by various markets up
and down the river ; brilliantly lighted
saloons, with cosy easy chairs and mag
azines and.music, to say nothing of tete
a tetes with very fair passengers from
' the frozen North and from the green
Savannahs of the South.
This has been the coldest d>y of the
winter. The riveris filled with minia
ture floating icebergs, among which we
wind our devious way. By morning it
is thought the river will be entirely
frozen over in places; but the officers of
; the boat think we will connect with tbe
Nashville train by morning, nt Louis*
ville. The cheapness of the passage is
i very surprising. You come on board
; j at Cincinnati before 12 o’clock, and foi‘
! $2 you get your transportation, with a
[ ' ticket for dinner and also one for sup
, : per. It is really less than 'one woub'
, have to pay at any respectable bote’
> and the fare is as good here, if not bet
ter.
On my return through Philadelphia
Pittsbur;, Columbus, Cincinnati, &c.,
saw nothing of special interest to a<
to the fetters already written in respe
to them. The weather has been so co
that a mouse was in danger of beii
frozen if protruded through a door
Window.
Excuse the lack of political news •
my letter— I have really heard so ft-
I political discourses. The majority <

South at air, do so more with a view o
learning its material prospects and coi
ditiona—whether Smith, Jones or Brown,
to whom they may sell a bill of goods,
or send a lot of machinery on commis
sion—will be able to sell and meet their
notes. Cufle'e is no longer on the brain,
and the unqualified opinion of your cor
respondent is that the mass of the peo*
pie would’nt give the toss of a copper
whether he votes or not. It will be
sometime before Cuff lias that glorious
right of a freeman conferred upon him,
in the Northern States, at least.

j visited General Gr int, before whom he
i laid his grievances and of whom he

after listening to Pollard’s representa
tions, quietly informed him that he
would receive any written communica
tion addressed to him from Richrnoitd,
but that he could not at present give
' his decision in the matter. The sup

Grant, who announces his intention of
suppressing all newspapers in the
South which have the audacity to come
out in similar bold denunciations of‘
the Government.

Vera Cruz dispatches to the Ist inct.
state there was great activity in French
military .attai s at Vera Cruz, but not of
a character to indicate early evacuation
of the cotfUtry by the Europeans. French
troops in large numbers were arriving
from the interior, and embarking rapidly
on transports. It is understood they
were bound for defence at Tampico,
which was seriously threatened by the
Republicans, and it was even intimated
that they were intended for the frontier
• service on this side of the line of the
Paoueua liver, in order to be there in
readiness to meet and check the advance
of the allies, the Liberals in Mexico and
from the United Sta e-i. There was a
rumor that the Imperialists had already
been compelled to surrender Tampico,
though an account of a severe defeat of
the Republicans in the vicinity of that
city comes to us by tbe way of N-w Or*
leans
Large-qualities of military stores were
still arriving at Vera Cruz, and being
sent into the interior, and an Imperial
train, valued at $600,000, was recently
captured by the Republicans.
The report of the commission appoint
ed tiy Gen. Weitzel, to investigate the

Washington, Fet>. 17 —The house to
’ day is devoted to speeches
> Mr. Lawrence offered the foliowiig:
.Resolved, That it is the deliberate
. sense of this House that the condition of
the rebel States fully justifies the Prcsi
' dent in maintaining the suspension of
• tbe writ of habeas corpus iu those
1 States. •
• Resolved, That it is the deliberate
, sense of this House that the condition
of the Rebel States fully justifies the
President iu maintaining the military
position and control thereof, and he is
entitled to the thanks of the nation for
employing the power for tbe protection
of Union citizens and the freedmen in
those States ; that no State was out of
the Union but that all State governments
were destroyed in the Rebel St ites, that
when Rebel governments were over
thrown the people were left without
S ate governments, that it is the duty
of Congress to guarantee Republican
State governments—that until this is
done there can be no law for a full
State Government. Tiaitors will at
once control them, and the nation could
impose no terms, nor even judge when
it would be safe io admit representa
tives. The President alone may set up
a State government wi bout any control
by Congress. It would be a fearful
power iu hands less trustwo: thy thao
those of the respected Chief Magistral-.
He demanded in the name of the con
stitution and the pc iple, t i:,it Congres
as the agent of the States, had the right
to guarantee those governments. The
war power had a right to and did st t
aside the Rebel governments. It mu.-t
be because either, first, that original
governments continue,’ or second, that
they were suspended, or third, that they
are new.
Mr. Licence said; in the course of
his remarks, that it would depend on the
people of the rebel States when recon -
struction would be complete—it would
be complete when loyalty returns. —
Let us close forever the approaches of
internal fends, and all return to the an
cient concord aud the national prosper
ity, and when we have done this, Jet us
hereby, in this temple, foiever presene
honorable peace with the world, and
eternal brotherhood with each other.
