As an appropriate sequel to our leading article of yesterday entitled, "The First False Step,” we annex some pointed remarks of the N. T. Daily An under the above caption that arc worthy to bo read and digested by the Southern people. It says: “An outrage more insulting to the Southern people, than that involved in the proposition, to accord them a general amnesty in return for the concession of emancipation to the negro, could hardly have originated in the malica of their most vindictive enemy. In effect It is equivalent to this: “You are under our heel and exposed to all the fury of our resentment; but if you will accept your slave as your equal, and share with him the rights of a freeman, we may permit you to go un- wliipt of justice.” Is it possible the people of the South can entertain a proposal so re volting to all the instincts of their nature ?— If they please to invest tho negro with tho privileges of-citlzenship, let them so endow him of their free and independent choice; bnt to purchase their security by the surrender of their honor, is a degradation of which we do not conceive them to be capable. They have said the negro is unfit to vote. Will their ex emption from the menace of proscription en hance his qualification .for the exercise of political power? No; if the white men are to bo dragged down to the level of the negro, we trust the people of the South will not be participants in such a perversion of reason Telegraphic News* Washington. March 21.—A citizen, con victed by a military commission at Richmond of the murder of a Union soldier, has been released by the Secretary of War, because of a clerical error in tbe reports. Senators Dixon and Foote arc daily grow ing worse, and there is little hope of the re covery of the latter. Ike Cook, of Chicago, who was sued by the auditor of the post o!ii. .■ fora balar.ee due the department from him as Postmaster at that city in 18G2, has paid up the amount of $5,300, and the case has been dismissed. Another contribution, amounting to nearly $10,000 in value, was received from the Bir mingham (England) Freedmen’a Association, by Gen. Howard, and will be appropriated to the use of destitute colored people in the Sontb. General Spinner publishes a letter in the Washington Chronicle, in which he maintains the correctness of Comptroller Clark’s state ments regarding the amount of Government fund8onbaFd. - . It was currently reported last night that the President has signified his determination to veto the civil right* bill. The counterfeiting of Government coupons has been carried to such an extent that the Treasury Department has decided to en grave a vignette ot tne proper size, to be printed upon all future issues, and thereby render engravings necessary to a counterfeit copy, as in the note bond. Portraits of Sec retary McCulloch, General Sherman and oth ers are executed for this purpose. Richard McCormick has been appointed Governor of Arizona, and not of Idaho, as heretofore stated. Hon. R.

A Mississippi pa per is informed that- lie gives favorable ac counts of the present and growing sympathy of the Northern people for Mr. Davis. At times, lie says, the quarters of tho President (Mr. Davis) are thronged with visitors, and so great is tho crowd that they stand for hours about tne doors, and when they can’t get in themselves, send in their compliments tad assurances of regard and sympathy. IIon. C. C. Clay.—We aro pleased to see that two Republican papers are demanding that 31 r. Clay shall be immediately released or put upon his trial. These papers are the Tribune and the Commercial Advertiser, both of New York city. They both declare that "by the Constitution, by the laws, by pnblic opinioa, by safe precedent, by the claims of justice, he is entitled to a speedy trial or to an immediate release. A great wrong nnd one that ought to be remedied, is done.” Fon the Neck.—There are some articles for the ntek eminently suggestive of strangu lation and sudden taking off. But those rich and handsome scarfs, to bo found at the store of our friends Turpin & Hertz do not rank in this category of throat irritants.

The protest ot an inflexible though unavailing op position will at least save tlieir honor. “We would imagine the South has had a sufficient experience of the policy of purchas ing its rights byn sacrifice of its interests, and bnrtcring its convictions for a contingent advantage. They were told the abolition of slavery, and the repudiation of their debt, were the conditions of their accession to the Union. They enacted a legal nbolition of slavery and pledged themselves not to pay the Confederate debt—are they yet in the Union ? The part of interest, as well as dig nity, requires that the South should submit in silence to its fate, rather than endeavor to It appears from official dates that the Ar lington estate, formerly belonging to General Lee, belongs to the Government, having been purchased at a sale for non-payment of taxes. New York, March 21.—The Herald's Yu catan correspondent of the 10th inst., gives an aceonnt of the seizure by the Mexican Im perial authorities of the American schooner Wilson Crawford, and the impressment of her master, because some powder was found on board the vessel. The master’s sentence was ten years penal labor but he was pardoned by the Empress. Immediately after regaining his liberty, however, lie wiis once more ar rested and sentenced to pay a fine of $500, which he avoided paying by secretly leaving the Country- Woman’s Honor to the Gnllent Dead.

The Executive 3Iansion.—We regret to •re that certain newspaper correspondents are raising objections to tho expenditure of $20,000 by tho late Legislature to repair and furnish the Executive mansion at 31illedge ▼file. F„ r decency’s sake, gentlemen, drop the subject. There is a wide difference be tween vigilance over tho public treasury and meanness., The Legislature was extravagant in sonic things, bnt not in this, and the charge •houhl not-be laid at their door. The man- don was without even a respectable article >f furniture, and the interior was greatly shopped'to pieces and defaced by the Fcde- al army when it passed through. So far tom $20,000 being an extravagant appro- piation, wc are only surprised that it re tired no more. Anna Dickinson Rampant.—It appears Hat all the strong-minded ho-womcn of the Ntrth are turning against the President.— Jme Swisslicltn—the lovely old dame!— “ptehed into” him like a thousand of wild cat! a week or two ago; and now we see that the charming Anna, for want of some honest empoyment, or somebody in breeches to take care of her, has strayed all tho way out to Chicago, just to call the President a traitor, chargj him with striking bands with the Assasans of Lincoln, and hold up the negro as thovery pink of perfection for responsible public offices. We advise Jane to marry one of her ibony immaculates, if she can find one onr to have her, and after a year's experience start on another lecturing tour. * Thank God, tho South has none of these Peripatetic female scolds!

Here occurred, on the morning of the 4th of October, that des perate conflict, so well known to immortal fame, in which Col. Wm. P. Rogers, of the 2d Texas regiment, commanded on that and the previous day a brigade of Texas and Ar kansas sharpshooters. Col. Rogers fell, fighting, within tho fort, aqd is buried just without the ditch. Of all thc Confederate dead on this field, Colonel Rogers is, I am told, the only one who was properly bnried; that is to say, the only one who was buried deep enough to prevent thc rains from washing the dirt away and expo sing his bones. lie, it is said, was buried under tbe immediate supervision of General Rosecrans, who had a substantial paling placed around the grave, and a headboard, with this inscription: “ Col Geo. Rogers, 2d Texas Regiment, Killed Oct 4th, 1802.” As will be seen from this (which is an exact copy,) General Rosecrans made a mistake in thc first or Chistian name of Col. Rogers. It 8houldrcad: “Col. William P. Rogers, 2d Texas,” &c. It will be remembered by many of your readers that General Rosecrans, in some official correspondence with Generals Van Dorn and Price, soon after thc battle, spoke in most glowing terms of the gallantry of Coi. Rogers, naming him, I believe, “thc bravest of thc brave.” He also complimented thc entire division to which the knightly and peerless *hcro belonged—Maury’s—and said that "the brave dead of so gallant a division should never want for fitting burial at his hands”—or words to that effect. No doubt the General fully intended to carry out this promise, and probably issued orders accord ingly ; but those orders were certainly never fittingly carried out, as will appear to anyone who rides'ovcr the field—as has appeared to hundreds and thousands who have ridden, over it since the close of the war. In the northwestern angle formed by tho crossing of the railroads, from Corinth out to and beyond the outer line of works, three and a half miles distant, the whole of this great battlefield is dotted, hero and there—in some places thick as meadow molehills—with the graves of Federal, and thc exposed remains of Confederate dead. The Confederate dead, it clearly appears, were merely covered up on the ground where they fell. The Federal dead were all neatly interred, in the usual way, with head and foot boards in every instance, and in most cases, I believe, were enclosed with wooden palings. I saw but one Federal grave where the bones were at all exposed. I saw but one Confederate tumulus where tho bones— generally tho skulls—were not more or less exposed orscattered around in all directions. At the outer line of tbe entrenchments, where a portion of 3Iaury’s Division made thc as sault, I saw two human skull bones, one pel vis, and two jawbones, lying on a stump, with no trace of a grave or tumulus nearer than fifty or a hundred yards. In front of thc outer breastworks, not far from tbe same spot, I saw two tumuli, where some* six or eight Confederate dead had been covered up on the side of a hill. Here several of the skulls and the feet of most of thc bodies had been uncovered by the action of thc elements, and were lying around upon thc ground, al- War Chess, or the Came of Rattle. . Among those gallant youths, natives of this city, who reflected honor on their mother State, as well as the city in which they were born, by their conduct in the war, is Colonel Charles Richardson, son of the late Captain John B. Richardson. No man fought more gallantly or was more faithful to his duties as a soldier in'all its phases of trial, adversity and sufiering. He was dangerously wonnded near the close of the war, and possibly disa bled for life. He is still, in moving about, dependent upon the assistance of crutches.— So dreadfully wounded was lie, indeed, that he was left on the field for dead, and the sur geons thought lie could not possibly recover. Being possessed of a considerable degree of ingenuity, he amused hitnscif in his hours of helplessness by indulging his inventive facul ties. One of his achievements was thc matu ring of a new game which he calls “ War Chess; Or, the Game of Battle.” When sufficiently able to travel, he went to New York and sought aid in bringing it before the public. Tiie liberal and enterprising book publisher. 3Ir. C. B. Richardson, of thatxity, (neither relation nor to that time acquaintance of Col. Richardson’s,) took an interest in his case, and, though foreign to his specialty of book publishing, undertook to get tip the game and bring it out. This he has done in handsome style. War chess is played by two persons witli figures representing soldiers—cavalry, artille ry and infantry—belonging to opposing ar mies, operating on a board traversed by a river passable at three points—a bridge and two lords. On one side is a city to be de fended, the capture of which is defeat to the side defending it. On the other a wagon, representing the supply train, the loss of which is defeat for that side. A book of ex planations with plates illustrating moves, ac companies the game. Persons wl.o have seen this game pronounce it a most ingenious and interesting game of strategy. The board is inorocco-covcrcd, and the figures arc in bronze, handsomely and artistically finished. It will lie for sale in dif ferent cities, but may be ordered from New Yoric, and received by express. Price, ten dollars. Address' C. B. Richardson, 540 Broadway.—Lynchburg News.

The condition ot these tumuli, I am told by gentlemen residing in the vicinity who have examined every part of the field, is a fair specimen of all the rest In one place (as I was informed by Capt 3Iask, of this town, who, with Col. Polk, rode over the field with me) the bodies of two or three Confederates were placed by the side of a log (to save la bor, I suppose), and a little dirt thrown upon them, the dirt had nil washed awuy, and there the skeletoni'lie, wholly exposed and uncarcd lor, “like tbe beasts that perish 1” A description of the Confederate dead on d>e battle-field of Corinth, will, I presume, answer ior that of most of those who fell in the desperate and sanguinary battle of Shi loh ; and it is earnestly to lie hoped that thc public journals of the South will, at an early day, call attention to thc subject, and urge the people to move in the matter immediate ly. to the end that remedial measures may be adopted, and thc demands of common human ity satisfied. All over these fields of carnage thc bones of brave men from every Southern State lie exposed to the action ot the elements above ground, nnd are rapidly hastening to decay. Especially interested in this subject, and in seeing that justice be done in thc premises, are West Tennessee and North 3Iississippi, and 3Iemphis and New Orleans, whose gal lant sons perished here by the hundred and by the thousand, in a cause which, though now torever lost, they honestly believed in volved the salvation of a great principle and tho defence of their native land from unwar ranted invasion. Shall the memory of these brave nnd earnest men be thus dishonored ? Shall thaf memory bc held so cheap by us, thc survivors, that wc may deny to them the poor tribute of decent burial, and a com pendious monument, here at Corinth, to per petuate at least, their daring and their devo tion to principle ? Forbid it, Ilenven J The cause for which they struggled has gone down beneath the stem decrees of fate; but they were none the less good men and true.

In reply that famous rough-ide-r writes thc gentlemanfollows: “If you have any desire to visit the historic scenes of Virginia, I hope you will not be de terred by any apprehensions for your person al safety. You will be just ns safe from molestation here as in the streets of'Boston.

Dublin, 1st February. N. A. Bocnusa. HOW THEY DID IT. Something about Parties. “Pierre,” the intelligent Georgia correspon dent of the N. York Daily News, writes in a late letter The Southern mind is like a clean sheet of paper, upon which no political watchword have yet been inscribed, and upon which it were perfectly futile to attempt to.re write the names of those defunct party organizations whose reeking skeletons alone remain to of fend the pdblic sense, It would seem to bc the part of wisdom, therefore, to consult the feelings—it may be the weakness of the people, both North and South, even in thc matter of the name by which thc friends of the Constitution and the enemies of Radicalism shall be hereafter known and designated. It were too much to ask these Republicans who, under thc intelli gent Iq)d of Seward, Dixon, Doolittle and Raymond, are sustaining the President, to go over in a body to the Democratic party, and be known in the future os Democrats. It were quite as unreasonable to expect those stem and faithful Democrats who have stood by the Constitution and the right through* evil as well as good report, to forget the past and range themselves under 3Ir. Seward and the Republican banner. It were still more un wise to call upon thc Southern people, im- E ovcrislied, wronged and bruised, as they avc been, to volunteer in the service of cither one of these parties. What then should be done ? Thc answer, in tbe opinion of the people of tho South, is plainly this: As contradis tinguished from the Radicals of the Stevens and Sumner school, the Northern Democrats, .the moderate Republicans, and the whole of the Southern people are conservative in their views, and desire tlic^early restoration of the so-called rebel Statcs'upon just and constitu tional principles. Why, then, it is asked, should not these three great divisions of the people come together and form one party ? And having done so, why shonld not this party take tho name of Conservatives, Con stitutionalists, or Constitutional Unionists? The integrity of the Union and the preserva- of the Constitution are the great stakes at is- , • , * , , sue.
