In slavery the domestic relations of man and wife were generally disregarded. Yirtne. purity and honor among men and women were not re quired or expected. All this must change now tbat you are free. The domestic altar must be held sacred, aud with jealous care must you guard Austria and Prussia. The Neue Frcie Presse, ol Vienna, says Count Blanc, who had proceeded to Gaston to resume negotiations with Prusiia, relative to the Duchies, is to consider Austria’s conces sion of July 10, as definite and unchangeable.

COMMISSIONER, Bureau Refugees, Freedmen and A band'd Lands, South Caroliua, Geoigia and Florida, Beaufort, S. C-, Aug. 16, 1865. Circular, ) No. 2. j To the Freedmen of Georgia, South Carolina and Florida : la entering upon that portion of my duty which relates to your welfare, I deem it proper to ad' dress you a few words of counsel. By the Eman cipation Proclamation of President Iqnooln, the laws of Congress and the will of God you have been declared “forever free.” At the outset of your new career it is important that you should understand some of the duties'and responsibilities of freemen. Your first duty is to go to work at whatever honest labor] your hands oan find to do, and provide food, clothing and shelter for your families. Bear in mind that a man who will □ot work should not be allowed to eat. Labor is ennobling to the character, and, if rightly direct ed, brings to tbe laborer all the comforts and lux uries of life. The only argument left to those who would keep yon in slavery is, that in freedom you will not work; that the lash is necessary to drive you to the cqtton and rioe fields, that these fair lands which you have cultivated Sy luaoy years in slavery, will qow be left desolate. On tbe sea islands of South Carolina, Georgia and Florida, where your brethren have been free for three years, they have mofcly shown how much better they oan work in freedom. Over forty thousand are now engaged in cultivating the soil, their children are being eduoated, and they are self sustaining, happy and free. Some are work ing for wages, others are cultivating the land on shares, giving one half to the owner. The Agents of the Freedmen’s Bureau will aid you in making contracts to work for fair wages for year former masters or others who may desire to hire you, or will locate you on small farms of forty aores, which you oau hire at an easy rent, with an opportunity to purchase at low rates any time within three years. These are splendid op portunities. Freedmen, let not a day pass ere you find some work for your hands to do, and do it with all your might. Plough and plant, dig and hoe, cut aqd gather in the harvest. Let it be seen that where in slavery there was raised a blade of com or a pound of cotton, in freedom there will be two. Be peaceful nod honest. False hood and theit should not be found In freedom; they are th^vioe of slavery; Keep in good faith all your contracts and agreements, remembering ahvays that you are a slave no longer. Whiie guardingecarefuily your own rights, be as careful not to violate your neighbor’s. “Do unto others as you would they should do unto you.” In cases where you feel that you have been wronged, it is neither wise nor expedient to take redress in your own hands, but leave the matter to be settled by three impartial friends of both parties. In cases of difficulty between White men l and yourselves, you should appeal tp one of the j agents of this Bureau in your viainity, who may ! appoint one referee, the other party one> and yott { should appoint a third, and the decision of the majority should be considered final. By this easy •' direouheir^f them, unless the laws In slavery y0Tt 0B , thoughtof t0 . dsy . Haying #t th61r retUrns t0 b6 “t" 19 other - nothing to hope for beyond the present, you did not think of the future, but, liice tbe ox and horse, thought onty of the food and work for the day.

Y r ou are advised to study, in church and out of it, tbe rules of the marriage relation issued from these Headquarters. Colored men aud women, prove by your future lives that you can be virtuous and pure. No people can be truly grest or free without education. Upon the education ot your children depends in a great degree tbe measure of your success as a people. Send your children to school whenever you can. Deny yourselves even the necessaries of life to keep your boys and girls at school, and never allow them to be absent a day or an hour while it is in session. Your liberty is a great blessing which has been vouchsafed to you, and you should be patient and hopeful. The nation, through this Bureau, has taken your cause in hand, and will endeavor to do you ample justice. It you do not obtain all your rights this year, be content with part, and if you act rightly, all will come in good time.— Try to show by your good conduct, that you are worthy of all, and whatever may happen, let no uneasy spirit stir yon up to any act of rebellion against the Government. Strive to live down by your true and loyal conduct the wicked lie and weak invention of your enemies, that in any event you would rebel against that Government and people which have sacrificed so many pre cious lives and so much treasure in your cause. Could yoa rise even against those who .oppress you, or against a Government which has given you a right to yourselves, your wives and child ren, and taken from you the overseer, the slave trader, the auction block, and broken the driver’s whip torever ? I have no fears on this point, and trust you to show those who have, how ground less they are, and that you are willing to leave our cause in the bands of Iver cherish in; the Government.— Ever cherish in your hearts the prayerful spirit, the trusting, childlike faith in God's good provi dence, which has sustained so many of you in your darkest hour. The Assistant Commissioners and Agents of this Bureau will publish this Circular to the freedmen throughout these States, and ministers of the Gospel are requested to have it read in all the churches where the freedmen are assembled.

This be ing accomplished, Gladwin boldly approached the safe and asked for Aaron Smith’s package. The clerk, not suspecting anything wrong, de livered it to him, when he gave a receipt in the name of Aaron Smith, and walked away with the bonds, which he deposited elsewhere. These facts having been obtained by Captain Jourdan, he sought still further information concerning the whereabouts of the bonds, and succeeded in learning where the prisoner had left them. Accordingly, yesterday afternoon the bonds, which belonged to numerous par ties, were recovered and taken possession of by Captain Jourdan. Gladw®[ whose appearance is far from be ing prepossessing, is in prison awaiting a for mal complaint, which, it is expected, wiH be preferred against him this morning before Jus tice Hogan. Another singular circumstance connected with this case is the fact that the clerks of the St. Nicholas Hotel had not been made aware of the alarming mistake committed by them in delivering the bonds to the wrong man til] in formed of their felonious abstraction from the safe by Captain Jourdan yesterday afternoon. They seemed to think it impossible - that such an error could have occurred.

The Atlantic Cable, The condition of tie Atlantio oable remains unchanged. No news had been received of the Great Eastern or of her consorts. The delay at her retain strengthened the impression that some thing might have happened to the tanks in which the oable was stowed, and that it might have been necessary to buoy the oable until the tanks were made good. At an extraordinary meeting of the Atlantio Cable Company, held in London on the 9th, it was resolved to convort the preference shares in to consolidated 8 per cent, perfereutial stock, and to issue additional capital to the extent of 86,000 pounds sterling to complete tbe present cable and oonstruct and lay down a second. The Chair man, Hon. J. S. Wortiey, said he bad no informa tion to give the meeting, bat hoped for reliable information in a day or two. He said the share holders should be encouraged and persevere. The tqeeting was large and unanimous. The latest tests from Valemia indicate tbat the fanlt is 1,175 miles out.

It appears trom ihe facts, as far as they have transpired, that some ten days ago a man thirty- two years ot age, a carpenter by trade, who had been a soldier in the army, and giviDg bis name as George Gladwin, called at the Post Office in New Haven, Conn., and asked the clerk for the letters of Mr. Trowbridge, a gentleman doing business at No. 16 Long Wharf, in tbat city. The clerk, believing that the applicant was duly em powered to receive the letters, delivered them to him. Among this mail matter was a draft drawn on the Manhattan Company of this city by Messrs. Burdick, Frisbee A Co., brokers, 93 Wall street, for 43,966 76, payable to the order of Mr. Trow bridge, and bearing date August 12, 1865. That nigbt or on the following morning Gladwin start ed for this city, bringing with him a woman whom he is pleased to call “Emma,” and took rooms at the Sj. Nicholas Hotel. Gladwin de posited the draft he had taken from the letter of Mr. Trowbridge In the hotel safe for safe keep ing, but withdrew the next day, and proceeded to the jewelry establishment of Mr. Thomas Kirk patrick, corner of Broadway and Duane street, and asked to look at sonie jewelry. He finally selected two beautiful gold watches aud chains, a costly pearl set diamond breastpin, ring, Ac., valued in all at $1,200, in payment for which he offered tbe draft in question, or, if Mr. Kirk patrick preferred, he could take his pay from railroad bonds, which Gladwin exhibited. Mr. Kirkpatrick madeisquiry concerning tbe draft, and, becoming satisfied that it was genuine, ac cepted it and gave Gladwin the difference be tween the amount of the purchase and the lace of the draft. Mr. Kirkpatrick desposited the draft in hia bank for collection. The Bank of the Manhattan Company subse quently pronounced the endorsement of “H.

Southern Modesty. Some of the Southern visitors to Washing ton behave as if they had an undisputed right to the pardon for which they have applied, and are correspondingly importunate. This retards rather than facilitates their object, for the President continues to act in such a manner as to assure them that pardon is an act of clemency .and not of right. The larger num ber of applicants are, however, more consid erate. The Pardon of Mr. Foster. It has been stated in some of the papers that a Mr. Foster procured, the other day, a pardon un der the Amnesty Proclamation by giving a agent at Washington a fee of $500. -*. m the ease are substantially ** ' , in applied to a gentle"- . ‘, ows j ” oiteT the papers *•' .-an in Richmond to prepare rpt,s5 -ut his pardon and urge its passage.— _-.o gentleman did so, and the warrant was made out and forwarded to the President. It lay on his table, with hundreds of others, awaiting his signature. At length Mr. Foster became im patient, and offered a claim agent of this city a fee of $500 to procure it from the President. This gentleman, who has a national reputation, called upon tbe President at one of his general recep tions ;;ml requested him to take np Mr. Foster’s pardon and sign it, indorsing the applicant and leaving the impression tbat Mr. Foster was a per sonal friend of his, and he asked for it upon that ground He in no manner represented himself as Mr. Foster’s attorney. The request was granted, and the pardon was delivered to him. There is authority for stating that hereafter no pardons will be delivered to agents or attorneys. They will be delivered either to the applicants in per son, or (what is more convenient and less harass ing to the President) will be sent to tbe applicants by the mails ft cm the State Department. Amnesty Blanks. The immediate attention of County Ordinaries and Clerks is called to the proviso in Gov. Johnson’s Proclamation, authorizing the above officers to procure at the office of the Savannah Republi can the requisite number of blank forms for the administering of the Amnesty Oath. The Republican Job Printing Office, having recently been established, is well supplied with the latest and most approved fonts of type, and we are now prepared to furnish thp blanks in such quantities as may be required at the shortest notice. The civil officers upon whom has been devolved the duty of administering the oath, will please bear this in mind. For the information of the above offi cers we would state that all blanks or dered at the duly authorized offices as enumerated in the Governor’s Proclama tion will be paid for by the State. If procured at other offices they will be obliged to pay their own bills. soon obtained a minute description of Gladwin, and, heariog that he returned to Now Haven last Thurday with his travelling companion, Emma, despatched officer Woodbridge alter him. On reaching New Haven detective Woodbridge car£ fully proceeded with tbe business he had in hand, and learned that Gladwin had offered for Bale a watch to a man named Bradley, with whom he was on intimate terms. A strict watch was kept on Gladwin’s boarding house, and on Monday evening officer Woodbridge succeeded in arrest ing him, aad finding iu his possession all the jew elry he had obtained from Mr. Kirkpatrick. The prisoner was placed on board the first train for New York yesterday morning, and arrived here in the aftemoqn, In a conversation with Captain Jourdan the prisoner stated that he had fonnd the draff, with seven $1,060 bonds of the Tiffin and Fort Wayne Kailro&d Company and other papers, in Broadway, and had left the bonds at the store of Messrs. Kohlsatt Brothers, corner of Broadway and Keade street, till he should call for them. The prisoner also oonlessed to forging the name of Mr. Trowbridge on the book of the draft. Of course the Captain did not believe that part of the prisoners story where he stated that he had fotmd the draft and bonds in the street, and intimated in an unmistakable man ner that it was useless to attempt to deceive him, as he knew the whole trnth of the matter. This brought the accused to terms, and he frankly confessed that be had obtained two hundred and four thousand dollars’ worth of the Tiffin and Fort Wayne Railroad Com- pany’s bonds from the safe in the St. Nicholas Hotel, without the knowledge of the hotel pro prietors or any of the clerks. The plan adopted by Gladwin to possess himself of the honda, and that, too, witbont exciting the ins- pieiona of the persons having charge of the safe, shows him to be ad expert in that line of business. As the draft which Gladwin had de posited in the safe was returned to him he saw a large package in the iron receptacle address ed to Aaron Smith, and carefully noted the handwriting on the package.

Townsend, “Asst. Adjt. Gen.” Troublous Times in West Tennessee— We have received intelligence from West Ten nessee which shows that Old Adam still walks abroad in some localities. The Union men are very unpleasantly situated in some neigh borhoods. The rebel citiaens are very bitter toward them, and are disposed to inflict many petty indignities upon them, and even commit acts of violence on the least pretext. Conse quently, many a man lies down at night un certain whether or not his repose will be dis turbed by the burning of his bam, or even of his dwelling. The precincts of the hallowed roof-tree afford but slight protection against men whose souls have been steeped in treason. On last Sabbath, within ten miles of the vil lage of Savannah, near the memorable battle field of Shiloh, two rebel soldiers in foil uni form rode up to the bouse of Dan. Shipman, a discharged Union soldier. A faithful dog gave warning of their approach, and Mr. Shipman took down his gun and went to the door. The two soldiers made their appear ance and Shipoufn opened fire on them, when the rebels returned a few rounds and galloped off, without doing any injury. Union men frequently receive threats of assassination and violence. A scouting party of our troops rode through the counties off Lawrenoe, Perry and Hardin, some ten days ago, and made an impression on three bushwhackers, by firing a few slugs of lead through them, which it ia hoped trill keep them more quiet than the am nesty oath would,—KathtiUh Press, JA§.
