No people ever suffered front War more than we of the late Confederate States, so called. We are bankrupt, our social fabric shattered, our ener gies paralyzed, and even hope dead within us. We have lost everything we most prized, and have not been permitted the privilege of saving our self-respect and honor from the gener al wreck. But despite all this woe and want, we did hope thattf)ur peo ple had J earned one lesson which would, through patience and persever ance, in a measure,atone for the loss of our personal property,apd publi? pros perity as a people. We have often ex pressed thig opinion, and heard others make use of it, that we had learned one great lesson, which would do more than all else to repair our ruined for tunes, and recuperate our wasted en ergies—that was the important lesson of ECONOMY. Vow sadly we have been disappointed, let the experience of every day proclaim. Instead of practicing the most rigid economy in all things, we are to-day, in propor tion to our advantages, and surround ing circumstances, a more extravagant people than we ever were before the War. Day after day, and week after week, stocks of the finest goods, em bracing mostly articles of luxury, ap pear in our midst and disappear, as if by magic, to be replaced again and again with others mpre costly and more luxurious. The wonder is, where all the money comes from to keep our merchants so busy buying and selling. But the money doqp come from some Source. There is something mysterious in all this to us.

By the Mails. . • New York, Nov. 11.—The morn ing papers contain the following in re lation to the execution of Wirz and the fact in connection with Wirz’s im prisonment, which it has not been deemed expedient to publish hereto fore, may now be given to the public. This is no less than the attempt to poison Wirz. When Mrs. Wirz came here it was the desire of the Govern ment to give her every facility for en joying interviews with her husband, with only such precautions as were in- despensably necessary. The first in terview of Mrs. W. with her husband, was in his ceil just after the com mencement of his trial. Their meet ing was not all of a character that would be expected betweeq man and wife under such circumstances. There was no appearance of tenderness, no embrace or kiss, no tears, no apparent emotion of any kind on the part, of either. The lady’s first words were : ‘How are Wirz?’ ‘Well,’ he answered in a gloomy voice, ‘I am getting along pretty well.’ She looked at him a moment and her next words were : ‘When did you • have on a clean shirt last? I never saw you look so dirty in my life.’ Wirz replied that lie had one on within the last week, and began to complain of his misfortunes. Their conversation throughout was cold and flippant, and indicated either that their relations had not been very pleasant previously or that they were not really married. She took leave of him in the usual manner, and Gen. Baker, the officer in charge, made arrangements that she should see him twice a week. The second interview was*as cool and de void of affection as the first. The third interview was on Sunday, Octo ber 20. The two exchanged common place salutations, as before, and in dulged iu common-place conversation. Gen. Baker saw Mrs. Wirz draw pff her glyve and saw again a motion of< her hand, as though there was some thing in it .which she desired to con ceal. As she rose to go, she stepped up to Wirz, and for the first time made a movement to kiss him. Gen. Baker stood at tlieir side, where he could see the m eting of their lips. It was not a quick, passionate kiss, and General j Baker noticed that they occupied a longer time than necessary, and that i the government of thi^r !ips was rath- jer peculiar for a kiss. 0 I As their lips parted, General Baker iwas convinced that she had passed) something from and that he was about to swallow it. He sprang toward Wirz and him by the throat, partly choking him tor an instant. -.General Baker manded him to open his mouth, and as j he did so spit out a little ball which I T/ie President dissatisfied with, the ac tion of North anti South Carolina.— Washington, Nov. 10.—The Secretary of State to-day telegraphed Provision al Governor Perry to continue to act as Governor of South Carolina until relieved by the President’s orders.4** He says that the President regrets that neither the Convention nor the Legislature had repudiated tl»e war debt of the State, and that South Car olina seems to decline adopting the Constitutional amendment of the Fed eral Constitution abolishing slavery. Yesterday Secretary Seward tele graphed Governor Perry, for,the Pres ident, that an early adoption of the amendment was deemed peculiarly in*- portant, and especially desirable, with reference to the general situation of the Union, and that;the President’s opinion on this subject, before express ed, remains unchanged. The President to-day, in response to an address from delegates from the North Carolina delegation, said that although the State had done well, the acceptance of the Congressional anti slavery amendment was peculiarly im portant to a successful restoration. Provisional Governor Holden had been instructed to continue‘Governor until relieved by express orders. to make, wilt go far toward confirming tbe good opinion the President has on more than one occasion expressed of the South, ern people. He now has the views of a gentleman in whose judgment be has entire confidence, and these views exactly coin cide with his own. The people of the ^South' can bp trusted with the powers which legitimately belong to States in tbe fullest confidence that they will not abuse this trust. This fact has been fully de monstrated in the work df restoration in Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia The people everywhere in the South regard the President as their friend, and they will cordially sustain him in his great work of restoring the Southern States to their place in the Union.— Ndshville Dispatch. Tiif Prospect.—Our readers are doubt less aware that President Johnson has in formed the provisional governors of North and South Carolina, also of Mississippi to retain their places, until expressly ordered by him, to abdicate. This policy we may also expect in Georgia. In common with the people we deprecate exceedingly, that our pro\isional dependence is to be con tinued, and would willingly make any rea sonable sacrifices, to the end, that civil law and a position in the Union might be insured. Our prosperity and security, nay, our very existence depends upon it; and all that is necessvry, is for President .Johnson to indicate clearly to our people his wishes with regard to our conduct and policy, so that we may understand defi nitely our position, to insure compliance and obedience. Our people are not con tumacious and stubborn. They are not only willing but anxious to conform strict ly to the policy of President Johnson.— They see clearly, that their future de pend.* to a great extent, iljkm securing re liable labor, controlled by themselves, in their own way. They appreciate the ne cessity of local legislation and State gov ernment. All they ask, is to he told wliai to do—to *he shown in what they have failed to come up to the. requirements of the administration.— Telegraph. “Tiie Prospect.’’—We endorse every word of our contemporary of tlie Telegraph, in an article we take from him, with the above caption. Geor- not been, for many days, a £‘ a has done everything President Johnson staked her to do as a condition precedent to her restora tion to the Union. If he has any further require ment to make of us, we beg he will do so in plain words nnd at the earliest possible moment. We are all tired of a provisional dependence, and de sire that civil law shall taka the place of military law. At any rate we implore the President To let and rich fla- I us.know what else we have got to do.to Ire able to enjoy the privileges and exercise tLe rights of free citizens of the United States. . . , , , n -ti i Important to those Coxcerxed.*—We tact, that ten stoics now Oll)l>h icre, L ave g 00( j au tJ,ority for saying that all men over where two or three, before the War, were ample enough for all ordinary purposes of trade. But there is an other solution to the enigma, and one that is no less patent than pernicious. Our people,so long deprived of the luxuries they were accustomed to’en- joy before the blockade shut them out, now that they are again admitted, rush headlong and blindly into the most foolish extravagance, seemingly without power to restrain their vo racious appetites. Jeans and liorye- spun are no longer badges of honor; nothing will do but cassimeers and cal icoes, broad cloth and poplins. No one thinks of-laying *up money for a rainy day, but nearly everybody’s motto seems to be, “to-day we live, to-morrow we die.” We are already people, and advice practice economy in all things apper taining to ourselves and our families, may seem to be irrelevant and inadmis sible ; but we are poor, very poor, if we h(*ve not learned at least one les son from the trouble* of the times.— If we choose to throw’ away the only real benefit that the War conferred, we of this day and generation, «or our children, will ever live to see a return of that material prosperity which blessed us and honored us as a people before the evil days came upon us.

Wrong.—We take the following from the Columbus Sun. The Legislature of Georgia assembles at Milledgevillo on the first Monday in December, which is the 4th. Instead of being nominated by the Gov ernor and confirmed by the Senate, as heretofore, Judges of the Superior Courts of Georgia are hereafter to ho elected by the Legislature.

She left the city near ly two weeks ago, not awaiting even t$ hear her husband’s sentence or to see him before his death. On this trial, her cold and indifferent manner toward her husband was noticed and commented upon. It js not known whether Wirz had, by any means communicated Jiis desire to commit suicide .to his wife, or t whe»ther it was not partly at the instigation of out side parties, that she wished to aid him to do so. It is known that Wirz had for a long time entertained no hope of escaping the sentence of death. It is also believed that there were friends of Davis, Lee, and Wind er, who feared something might be elicited on his trial that would convict them by legal evidence with, and make them responsible for the Ander sonville crimes, and who desired that Wirz might be out of the way as quickly as possible. The Insurrection in Jamaica.—A let ter from G. A, Hague, collector of the port of Morant, Jamaica, gives furth er particulars of the negro insurrec tion there. He says: The Brutality is beyond anything you ever heard of, Baron Kettlehol’ts head was cut oft*, and his body cut up from trunk to heel; so was Walter andHitchins, and a‘black man, lately a member of the local legislature, and an educated man and much respected; his body was cut open and his entrails taken out while he was alive, and this done by -women. Martial law is pro claimed. The Governor is here in person, and so is the General. We have a large military force. Many prisoners are taken. Eighty-one are i avc already sentenced to death, and a large | interests at the expense portion of them have been executed already. All our lady friends at Port Morant were taken to Kingston by a gunboat. All the stores at ManchionffiUare cleaned out. Among the killed are the Rev. -V. Herschill of Bath, Mr. Walton, proprietor of the Retreat Es tate, and many others. Dr. Crowdy’s life was spared by taking an opth not the wound* ef any white man. Favorable Reports from the South.— The editor of the Nashville Dispatch thus reports a conversation with Hon. Harry M. Watterson recently returned from a month’s tour in Georgia, Alabama, Mis sissippi and Louisiana, in the capacity of confidential agent of the Government. The President desired correct information in regard to the real conditions and inten tions of the people of these States, and it was to gain this information be dispatch ed Mr. Watterson to the States named. That gentleman has spent a month in mingling with the people of those States, and expressed himself highly gratified with what he has heard and siren. He found the people everywhere doing what ever was in their power to restore the States to their former relations to the Gov ernment. They accept the result of the war in good faith, and no where did he find a spirit of discontent or a desire to get out of the Union. How different a liberal, unprejudiced man sees men and things frem tbe man who carries his pre judices to such an extent that he can see nothing good in the Southern people. Mr. Watterson says that wherever he went, he found the people regarded slavery as dead and tbe question forever settled.— He thinks the -great hpdy of the people are rather .pleased that “the peculiar in stitution has been crushed out, (Hid they now Iook forward for a higher prosperity than the South has ever enjoyed. Their great concern, next to the restoration of civil authority, is to procure the labor necessary' to cultivate their lands. In some sections this labor is being supplied by the freedmeu, but inbthers the negroes have not learned what freedom means, especially is this the case in Louisiana ; but Mr, Watterson attributes this to in fluence which has been exerted by men who have sought to promote their own of those of tbe negroes. , As an Evidence of the peaceable dispo sition of the people, Gen. Steadman, the commander of the district of Georgia, in formed Mr.. Watterson that as soon as the civil government should be restored in that State, there would be no use for the military there. And what is true of Geor gia in this respect, is equally trne of the other States visited. Such reports as his persona! observation and inqury have enabled Mr. Wetterson A petition signed by 15,000 ladies was presented to the President on the 6th in stant, asking for the pardon of Jefferson Davis. The National Intelligencer says “His Excellency the President gave audi ence yesterday to a numerous delegation of ladies from Baltimore, deputed to pre sent a petition signed by 15,000 ladies, seeking ttie Executive clemeucy in behalf of Jefferson Davis. Mrs. Coleman, daugh ter of the lamented John J. Crittenden, addressed the President in feeling and ap propriate .terms, to which he responded in a most felicitous manner, regretting that public policy prevented his yielding to their persuasive and touching arguments. The interview was a protracted one and of tlie most agreeable character, and rthe fair petitioners left the city, carrying with them the* most pleasurable impres sions of the President. In declining, th* President regretted that the national character of the question restrained all private sympathy which they might have awakened in him, and made the important statement that com plete arrangements have been made for the early legal trial of Mr. Davis, accor ding to the laws of the laud. Captain Itynders.—This well known Individual has again “turned up” at yammany Hall, his early character istics still reigning supreme within him, as the following report of a re cent address before that political as sociation exemplifies: Captain Itynders’ Address. ' Gentlemen, said the Captain, bar ing his Jovian 1/rows and standing like a tower, gentlemen, I am almost a stranger to ‘Tammany, where I was driven out some years ago, but an abiding affection for the Old Wigwam brings me once more among you.— Why did I leave old Tammany? Be cause she forsook the jmnciple^of the Democratic' party, and trained with the Black Republicans. Your mnna-l gers are no longer true to Democratic principles. They are trusters, for only tricksters would nominate a man whom they knew could not be elected, and whom they did not intend to sup port, as they nominated Carolan O’ Brien Bryant. Voice—How about the Fenians ? Captain—I shall come to that pres ently. Don’t interrupt me. As I was about to observe— Voice (amid cries of‘Put him out!’) Dry up! JJow about the Fenians '? Captain—1 am never uncivil to any body, but if that dirty, low-lived, con temptible scoundrel doesn’t shut up his jaw, I’ll come there an J kick him. Don’t call him to order. He doesn’t know what order is. He thinks it means something to eat, and therefore opens bis mouth like a damned fool.— (Laughter.) One good kick is worth an ocean of advice to such a miserable unlicked cur.

Ther ^ not auother mail left in the South f S his place, pnd the Richmond n,° cn take pers scarcely exaggerate when ' £ say that the Confederacy could Lett >- have lost fifty thousand men. q 0 J in council, his peculiar excellence Was in the field. We know of no man 0il either side that surpassed him, if any equalled, in handling an army. We are, in some respect, better judges of his military talents than Southern men, since we felt the blows they only <4frlt. It is certain » 0 niQU has impressed the imagination of our soldiers and the whole community so much as he. An unknown name at the beginning of the war, save to his brother officers, and to his classes in the military school at Lexington, Yj r . ginia, his foot steps were earlie*Hu the field from which" now death has withdrawn him. But in two years he has made his name familia^in every civilized land on the globe .1s a Gener al of rare skill, resource and fenenrv. No other General of tlie South could develope so much power out of the slender and precarious means, by the fervid inspiration o#his own mind, as Jackson. He had absolute control of his men, seeming almost to fascinate them. He drove them through march es long and difficult, without resources, feeding them as best lie could ; he de livered battle as a thunder cloud dis charges bolts, and, if the fortunes were against him, then, with more remark able skill than in advancing, lie held his men together in retreat, and with extraordinary address and courage, eluded pursuit, sometimes fighting, sometimes fleeing, until lie brought oil' his forces safely. Then, almost be fore the dust was laid upon the war path, his *face was again towards his enemies, and he was ready*for renew ed conflict. His whole soul was in his work. He had to doubt nor parley- ■frigs within himself. He put the whole force of his being into the blows for the worst cause man ever fought for, as few of our Generals ha»e uverjearu- ed to do for the best cause for which trumpet ever sounded. Henceforth we know him no more after the flesh. He is no longer a foe. We think of him as a noble-minded gentleman, a rare and eminent Christian. For years he has been an active member of the of the Presbyterian church, of which he was a ruling elder. He nevw, in all the occupations of the camp, ox temptations of campaigns, lost the fer vor of his piety, or remitted his Chris tian duty. We know that before every impor tant move lie spent much time in pray er. He had so put his soul to the keeping of his Master that he was re lieved from all thought of self, and had the whole power of his life ready for his work. Officers of Fremont’s, army, who pursued him in his famous retreat from the Shenandoah Valley, found him to be greatly beloved by the common people, among whom, in former times, he had labored in pray er meetings, in temperance meetings, in every Christian word and work.— No wonder he fought so well along a region whose topography ho had map ped down with prayers, exhortations and Christian labor. He was unselfish. He fought neith er for reputation now, nor future per sonal endowment. He therefore did not fall into the ruinious habits of our Generals, who are always neglecting to do the things that can be done, be- . cause they are small, but squander time and men aud patience in getting ready for great battles, which elude them or defeat them. He incessantly struck on the right and on the left, and kept alive the fire in the hearts ot the ill-clad, poorly fed and overwork ed men, by the excitement of enter prise and constant -relish ot victories, small in detail, but whose sum all-important. Let no man suppose that the Xo>y l will triumph over a fallen son with in - suiting gratulations. No where ei^e will the name of Jackson be n l0,e honored. Not for the adhesion to the cause of slavery, but for his devou 1 piety, and for his military genius. We not unfrequently find men are unfortunately deficient ,iu one or gan, although remarkable for their in tellectual acuteness and perfect p^J sl cal health in other respects. ^ 8 ! n timated on yesterday a melancjioh m- stance of this sort in the Ne^ ^ or Tribune.
