Com**, Secretary of fftyts left 8-5 w Childhood Memories. It is Sabba*li: tbo air is chilly and cold, but soared alone in my room, with tho warm blazing fire before me, I heed not tho Coldness of wintry air, | save as the sigh of the winds passing | breath reminds me sorrowfully of the | sad fate of the poor, who have no fire j before which to warm their frozen hands ami feet. In their dignity, I scantily-furnished rooms, mayhap, it ;is as coltl and chilly as on tho street to-day, ami I cannot meet tho breath o tho wind without desiring to he near tho fire. God, help tho poor!— Many ami many a time you children, my little readers, have prayed thus; hut you, encased in warm furs and. comfortable clothing, with kind indul gent parents to satisfy your every want, know not the full, deep mean ing of those little words. “God help the poor!’’ You pray it, but the while a dimpled, pleasant sniilo wreaths about your joy beaming face, and the words fall from your lips almost un consciously, you knowing so little of their, true meaning. Study them, children, and try to impress upon your minds their full power, and then you yourselves will, perhaps, in many cases be tho instrumentality through which your invocation will he answer ed. I have roceivod a sweet letter from an old, old unforfrotfon friend to-day, and childhood memories throng, like bright dreams of a pleasant, flowery land before my oyes; hut with them, too, comes a shadowy sadness that spreads athwart my soul a hue of grief. This far- absent friend, whom 1 love even yet as though ’twere only seven days bince we parted, when, alas it has been as many years, was in early boyhood time playmate of myself and poor brother. \\ r o three have sat upon the greonward beneath the wide-spread heecheu bows and and listened, with happy hearts, to the sweet wild song of tho forest birds, as tho echo of their mellow ma tin calls floated softly like windsome wind-melody among the troos. We have wandered over the fields filled with the rich aroma of gentle summer flowers and the beautiful, ripe, golden grain. Many a time we have left the old school house upon the hills em bowered in wreaths of green leaves,and in midday in tho summer time, when the lacy sun slmne warmly forth, went down the hill to the brink of a tiny stream and sotting upon its moss grown hanks washed our naked feet in its limpid, silvery waters! v\ e were so happy then in innocent, lovely childhood; and, would to God, that it Could have beer, so forever. But it’ was not to be. Ido not believe we had an impure thought my younger brother and I. Our almost holy moth er taught us love, and Heaven and prayer. But the years come on apaco and we were separated - 1 did not see him frequently after that, hut our love was yet strong, as I feed it re newed again to-day. TIo was weak physically, aud inclined strongly to consumption- Wh-en tho rebillion broke out, he was among the' first to go with others of my relatives. Ho began perceptibly to decline in health, aud died, though not far away,on a bloody field, or in a rudely constructed hos pital, but iu tire arms of our heart broken mother I knew it not, being miles away at tho time; hut a letter from home brought me tho vtoelul news. O, woo shall know the feelings of my grief burdened- heart, as I read the line announcing his death,through fresh-wept, burning tears! Who shall tell the deep agony ot my weary bruin! To-day, those olden memories crowd again upon my soul, and I see my poor poor Vi us as in our last parting-,, a genuine smile of lovo resting upon his lips as he said to me, half playful sly, a last “good bye.” Noblo gener ous boy! Happily lie know not that it was our last earthly sight of each other, else our parting had been more tender-, more affectionate it could not have been; for, with all my faults, my neglect es them, 1 do lovo my broth ers, my sisters. But most of all now, I lovo the memory of his lost, dead one; and oft times, when alone, liej fromthe v o and iu le intrusion thoughts of him comes stealing ovt-r mo anil my tried heart with grief. 1 can seo in my souls \-i\ T id imagery the bent form of my trial-how ed mother as it kneels beside his (my brother’s)m§und which rvill be grown over with green grass when the birds and then mild spring comes, and turning her tear-wet bluo eyes to Heaven, meekly asks our Father to bless tho living ahsout oues, whose happiness lives about her heart tenderly as tho love we cherish for her kneeling figure. She knows her boy sleeps there, with the two other pure souls “gone before,” and she blesses God that her days aro only a few more, when she will he gathered to him. But, ah mother ! who shall bless us when thou art gone? 1 re ntembe, now, for memory is busy, when a little child, how I knelt mo oft at thy feet and murmered as th\ lips syllabled the words for my untaught ntind, “Now I lay me down to sleep.” ’Gus, too, was thero. dear mother. But my wailing heart trembles now, AVhen I know that he i-no more,and we all ate parted—you almost alone.

The New York Exprw makes the following complin e it when comparing tho surrender at Appomattox with tho capitulation of Sedan: The French Council of Ministers, up to Saturday evening, must have ••ithor been imperfectly informed of their losses at .Sedan, or else were afraid to communicate to tho excited' l’arisans tho whole truth. They speak 1 of the swrenv r of B>,“0i) men by | Gen: McMahon, whereas our <lis- ; patches to-day stare that tho number j will reach 120,000. There have been many groat wars within the past half a contury —both in Europo and in this country—and there have been a great many surren ders, but wo cannot just now remem ber so prodigious a surrender as this. A hundred and twenty thousand men with arms in their hands, it sooms to us, should have been capable of some thing better, something more heroic than ahsoluto and unqualified surren der—even though tho enemy largely outnumbered it. We can only com prehend it on the theory that the sol diers wero h idly officered, and le 1 to battle by men who, though valorous enough, do not seem to liavo been en dowed with tho qualities necessary to enable them to “snatch victory front tke laws of defeat.” Wo car. only infer what might h: done from what really ions done during our own rebellion. The Confederate General Lee, with a half-naked, "half starved army, or remains of an army, of some forty or fifty thousand men, we all know, held Gen. Grant at hay be fore Richmond for some six months, with 20D,(JD0 men, mere er less, and only surrendered at last when tho commissariat had distributed the la-t crust and the last ounce of powder. Ls that French army at Sedan hail had leaders with some of Lee’s brains an l pluck, Frenchmen would not have had to blush to-day for so inglorious a surrender. We are rnly too proud to hear our grandold cheiftaiu’s eulogiutn. All praise to tho brave old man!

No blame can possibly bo attached ! to Marshal McMahon for the French sutr-nder. Seriously wounded, lie doubtless was rendered horn du combat. Nor is it to he supposed that ho could even have taken part in a council of war.

Yv’o quote a portion. l)id either of you c "< r think of what war means? Did you ever see a mans head smashed, or his bowels ripped open? Why if you aro made ot flesh and hlottd, tho sight of oho poor wounded man, with tho blood oozing out of him, will make you feel sick. I don’t Kke to drown a kitten; 1 can't bear oven to soo a' rat die or any animal in pain. But a man! ; where’s your hearts if you can think i of broken legs, splintered bones, heads smashed in, braines bloved out, bowels torn, hearts gushing with gore ditches full of blood, aud heaps of limbs and carcases of mangled men? Do you say my languge is disgust ing? How much more disgusting must the things themselves he! And you make them! How would you like to get a man into your palace garden and run a carving khife into his bowels or cut his throat? If you did that you would deserve to ho hanged; hut it would not bo half so had as killing tens of thou amis, and you know very well that this is just what you are going to do. Do you fancy that your drums and sis-s, and feathers and fineries and pomp, make your wholesale murder one whit tho loss abominable in the sight of God ? Do not deceive yourselves; you are no better t tan the cut-throats whom your own laws condemn. Butter? why, you aro worse, for yout murders aro so many Think, I pray you, for your poor people will have to think whether you door no. Is thero so little want in tho world that you must go trampling on the harvest with your horses and met-.?— Is thero so little sorrow that you must make widows by tho thousand ? Is death so old ami feeble that you must hunt his game for him, as jackals do for the lion? Do you imagine that God made men for you to play rsith? Are they only meant for toys for you to break? O Kings,a ploughman te 's you that their souls are as previous in God’s sight as yours, they suffer ns much pain when bullets pierce them as ever you can do; they havo homes, I and mothers and sisters, and their ! deaths will be as much wept over as yours, perhaps more. How can you sit down to eat when I you have caused war? Does not the | blood rise in your throat and choke you? Or aro you only doviis with crowns on?

We have been permitted to publish the following interesting letter to the Governor from Judge Gibson. Tho letter was was not intended for pupli cution, hut it gives so clear and correct a statem nt of the whole matter, that , we have solicited tho priviledgo of presenting it focur readers. Will tho Macon TTyniph and other papers that charged the Governor j with having authorized and instructed I the colored people to take the law in their own hands, publish the letter of Judge Gibson? The letter is as follows: Augusta., September 10, 1870. Gnrernor : I am just home from Louisville, Jeffers n county, tho scene |ot the recent riot and insurrection. I feel that it is both due you and tho ; high position you hold, to give an im partial and fair statemont of all tho ! fads developed on tho trial, or that I could ascertain from citizens of in,- , telligonce aud reliability. On Friday, the nineteenth (19th)' of August, a colored man was arrest ed and confined in jail for mnliciout mischief; on Saturday, tho 20th, a l ; ii'l of colored men, variously estima t "l (V un fifty to one hundred, appear 'd or and; streets and demanded the k v- of the jail, to release, said colored man so confined. Upon being refus ed the keys, they proceeded to the jail" where, upon being mot by some of tho citizen ;, they wero persuaded to desist ( tjoe Fye, the head and organizer of this hand, then went ami sent runners to various portions of the county, when he succeeded in obtaining a it ire determiu! 1 and desperate set of men, whom ”o ]o 1 to the jail (or rath er followed), and, with divers implo ments, broke upon tho outside door of tho jail, and ralea-md the prisoner, after which loud shouting and re ports of firearms rvere heard; various throats were made; also very great ex citement prevailed, and many rumors were spead over the county and ad jilining counties, which caused the collection of many armed white men in Louisville. Some of thorn seemed to be ay-ill organized, as they had chaplains, surgeons, bandages, com missaries, etc., etc The colored peo ple too, assembled on many of the plantations in unusal numbers, and many of thmn cameos near Louisville f.s a u;il and a half. If any portion of tl;' n wero armed, it was v.try poor ly Cudjoe, like many'other leaders in fho pr -t, bed left iu pursuit of some soft or hiding place, leaving his be guiled and deceive 1 followers to suffer the cons quencos of their folly. Thus matters steed until the timely arrival of Lieut Meier, with a detatchntent of Lui ted States troops, who, with tha Sheriff and other civil olficors, soon arrested the leaders, (Cu ljoe himself having boon taken in his flight at or near Macon ) anil most of the promi nent privates. Notwithstanding this great provocation, not a citizen of Louisville or Jefferson attemped at any time, to vindicate or punish this great outrage by violence of any sort, hut they were prudent, calm and firm throughout and to the last, and to-day are, almost to a man, fully satisfied with tho results. Cudjo s clubs that he had organized seemed to have a I4th, 15th and 16th law; one to collect wages by seizure an l sale, another to relieve each other when imprisoned or imposed upon, and sixteenth, if refused the ballot, to go in a body and take the polls. To beguile and deceive his confiding race into his clubs, he assured them that he "as backed by Gen. Grant and Govenor Bullock, and had authority from them to organizo. When his deluded followers would have charged him thus, poor Cudjoe would deny it. In order to authenticate his deception thus practiced, he ha-1, it seems, two' small hooks from which ho would oc cn ionaily road his laws and authority, none of his poor deluded followers be ing themselves able to read. There is not the first particle of testimony, uor could any ho obtained after the most thorough investigation, to sus tain Cudjo s assumption that either’ 0.-tieml Grant or Govenor Bullock had any agency in t»e matter or had even seen Cu-Ijo, and no citizen with whom I conversed, gave any credonco whatever to Cudjo’s statements. —The punishment inflicted, I con-- scientiously believed sufficient and just and the general impression seems to he that the evil is fully corrected.— Time alone can tell. I presume Lieut. Miller will make his report to General Terry, to whom the peace and order of the State aro greatly indebted, and. to whom, tiio citizens of Jefferson, I ir. iist express my entire approbation of their noble bearing and conduct as well as prompt action, throughout this trying ordeal. 1 am, Governor,very respectfully,.
