Wo givp still further extracts from the inter

•. inia Cavalry fame:
SCENES AT TI1K WHITE HOUSE.
After General McClellan liegan his retreat to
the James Iiiver, Lee dispatched Stuart to de
stroy his supplies at White House, the Union
base on the Pamunkcy River.
Not far from us, a‘.s we feasted, were little
mountains of hams of bacon, and boxes of arms,
uniforms and equipments for more than 10,000
men An equal number of the latter we discov
ered in the river, as well as two transports,laden
with whisky and other liquors, which had lieen
sunk by the enemy on our approach, hut which
we raised and secured with little difficulty. A
large number of' railway carriages and new loco
motive engines, and a j ion toon train, also fell into
our hands. In strolling tlirough the more dis
tant camps, I bad the good fortune to secure a
good horse which had been left Itehind by his
Federal owner in the hurry of his departure;
but I lost my prize very soon afterward.
We again extract:
The “plantation,” or estate, of the White
House, was th* property of our Colonel, Wm. II.
F. Lee. Tftis wide verdant flat was covered
with thousands of tents and storehouses, and
formed the main depot of the Federal army, num
bering, lu-fore the late battles, at least one hun
dred and fifty thousand men. The enemy’s cav
alry-, forced to fly fry the celerity of Stuart’s
attack, bad, i’l their rapid retreat, set fire to all
the principal buildings; and from more than a
hundred different points vast volumes of smoke
were rising in the air, while the stately mansion
of Colonel Lee was wreathed in flames. All
over the field our horsemen were as busy as ants,
here rcscueing from destruction quantities of
valuable provisions, there enjoying luxuries of
which they had long lieen deprived, that were
scattered in the greatest profusion on every hand.
1 found General Stuart on the very brink of ti,e
Pitnumkcv, w here lie had established his head
quarters in a drlight fully cool spot, beneath the
houghs of a gigantic plantain, regaling himself
with iced lemonade, which he shared with me,
and which fell upon my tongue like nectar ice,
lemons, crushed sugar, and many other dainties
and delicacies, which we know only by recollec
tion, were liettped around us in large piles, for
the benefit of any one who would reach out his
hand to lake them.
The General was in excellent spirits, and re
ceived me most cordially, losing no time in re
counting to me the results of his expedition, lie
had broken the enemy’s cavalry by his first at
tack, taken many prisoners, capiured untold
wealth and spoil, and, what amused and delight
ed him most of all, disabled and driven off a
Federal gunboat by the lire of his dismounted
sharpshooters and two pieces of horse artillery.
After a l'ew minutes’ rest, my curiosity led me
through the burning encampment. Neverinmy
life bad 1 seen such enormous quantities of com
missary stores—never had I supposed that an
army of invasion would involuntarily encumber
itself with such an incalulabie amount of useless
luxuries. Hundreds of boxes of oranges and
lemons were piled up together, many of which,
broken, sent the golden fruit rolling all over the
ground. Great pyramids of barrels of white and
brown sugar, and of salt fish, and eggs packed in
salt, were blazing on all sides.
In one of the houses near by I discovered the
body of a handsome young man, an officer, who
had'been killed in one of the late battles. The
body had been so skillfully embalmed that one
could almost believe the poor fellow only slept.
1 set a guard over the corps to protect it from
casual injury, and it was soon afterward deliv
ered to the relatives of the deceased. The report
was circulated in camp, and obtained some ere
deuce, that it was one of the French Princes, of
the Orleans family, who were then serving on
the stuff of General McClellan, and had taken
partin the recent engagements; hut this story
was never believed by General Btuart or myself.
THE BATTLE OE MALVERN HILL.
Leaving White House, Stewart overtook Lee
at the sanguinary battle of Malvern Hill, which
is thus alluded to by his chief of staff - :
For the lirst time at Malvern Hill, in the pro
gress of the American war, was it satisfactorily
shown how important in a battle is the concen
tration of a large number of pieces of artillery
upon one point; and the army of General Mc
Clellan was only saved from utter destruction by
sixty guns, which, being very favorably posted
in his centre, poured dismay and death into our
attacking columns. The effect was more disas
trous! him had been before produced by artillery.
In this battle our losses were very heavy, and I
may say that the victory was ours only from the
ignorance of our position on the part of the ene
my, who retreated exactly at the moment when
he had gained the most important success.
A dispatch to the New York World from
Washington City dated the 17th instant says: In
telligence has been received here to-day, and
communicated to the proper authorities, relative
to the situation in Mexico Agent Leman has
arrived here, whose word con lie vouched for,—
He says that on his way from Tabasco to New
York, within the past two weeks, he met an agent
of Maximilian, who stated that affairs were nearly
in extremes for the Imperialists; that every re
ported victory of the Imperialists brought with
it no substantial result, and that on account of
their inability to draw supplies, etc., from the ru
ral districts, the war against the Liberals was car
ried on at a dead expense.
He further adds that he had beeu dispatched
by Maximilian to France, to ask for one hundred
millions of dollars and forty thousand troops,
and that if Napoleon failed to furnish men and
means, the evacuation of Mexico by the French
must certainly follow.
Suicide oe Preston Kino.—Referring to this
lata unfortunate incident, it is stated that cotem-
poraneously with the receipt of his resignation
at Washington ot the office of Collector of Cus
toms at New York, came the news of his shock
ing death. Mr. King, it is also said, was once a
victim of insanity, “ and there is not a shadow
of a doubt that the exactions, perplexities, anxi
eties, labors, and responsibilities of the notorious
Custom House at New York, again brought on
that awful form of disease which precipitated his
tragic end”—so says the Intelligencer at Wash
ington.
White’s New York Tyfk Foundry.—We
cannot too highly commend this establishment.
Our paper, in its typographical execution, is evi
dence of the excellence of their material, as well
as of their mechanical taste; and so is what we
use of their material in our “Job Room.” Prompt
and reliable in their execution of orders; always
“up to the mark” in what they undertake to do;
we commend White’s Foundry to the patronage
of all engaged in the printing business, who de
sire to replenish or to establish themselves in the
newspaper or printing business.
Personal.—We had the pleasure of seeing in
our sanctum on yesterday, Colonel R. J. Moses,
representative elect from the county of Muscogee,
iu this State, to our next .-General Assembly.—
After the Colonel’s hard service for years past,
we were pleased to see him in tine health and
spirits. His services in the Legislature will be
much needed, as will be those of all of Georgia’s
sons, who, like him. have labored to advance the
interests of the State which has resumed her loy
alty to the “Union.”
The South Carolina Legislature.—The
proceedings in another column of the South Car
olina Legislature, embracing a most interesting
correspondence between the President, Mr. Sew
ard, and Governor Perry, will doubtless attract
the attention of our readers. Taken in connec
tion with the article we copy to-day from the
Washington .Vational Intelligencer, the reader
can almost clearly see what is expected of every
Southern State.
Gen. John C. Breckinridge.—A telegraphic
item dated New York, the Ilth instant, says that
a Captain who accompanied Breckinridge from
Europe to Canada has arrived at San Antonio,
and savs that Breckinridge lias announced his
determination to remove t^Texas. should the
President pardon him.
A correspondent of the National lnteUigen-
ue safZ Messrs. Curtiss, Ridgeway, Barbour,
Davis and Hodge, elected to Congress from Vir
ginia, will take the test oatli without scruple.—
Of the other two, Messrs. Stewart and Conrad,
he adds, whether able or not to take the test oath
he i9 not informed.
The New Orleans Picayune says that Judah
P. Benjamin has written to his friends in that
city, that he has been received and treated with
kindness and generosity by many of the promi
nent statesmen of England: that he is awaiting
the legal term of residence to qualify him for
admission to the English bar, in order to resume
the practice of his profession in London or Liver
pool, and that he manages to support himself
very comfortably by giving counsel and legal aid
to hi9 friends and oilier-, in regard to legal mat
ters in this country.
Gen. N. B. Forrest.—This gentleman, we
are pleased to see has associated himself in the
commission, grocery, and general factorage busi
ness, with the firm of Tate, Gill Able, at Mem
phis, Tennessee. Iu a paper of that city he pub
lishes the following card:
It will tie seen that I have associated mvself
iu business with the linn of Tate, Gill & Able.
I propose to try, by close attention and correct
ness of dealing, to’ make it the interest of my
old friends to extend to me a fair share of their
patronage. N. B. Forrest.
The negroes in New York liavt held a State
Convention, and after declaring their adherence
to negro suffrage, have passed a resolution that
every section of the country should be repre
sented by negroes in Washington the coming
winter
The following encouraging view of the ne
gro suffrage question, we extract from a recent
article in the Louisville Journal:
In Colorado, Wisconsin, the negro suffrage
party was badly beaten, and yet the Republicans
were victorious, thus demonstrating that eveu in
States regarded by us as radical, there is an over
whelming popular sentiment against negro suf
frage. It the people of the loyal States are un
willing to grant, by their own State action, the
right of suffrage to the negroes iu the midst of
them, they will cartainly oppose, what our South
ern friends seem most to fear, any interference
with the subject by Federal power. Hence, we
repeat, that, since the overthrow of the ultraists
in the lata Republican State Convention, and the
defeat of negro suffrage wherever it has been pre
sented ns an issue before the people, we feel au
thorized to pronounce the negro suffrage party,
led bv Chase and Sumner and Phillips, as dead
utterly and forever. The people, by overwhelm
ing majorities throughout the loyal Statrt, have
decided in favor of constitutional and conserva
tive principles, and the}' are determined to sus
tain to the uttermost the. President’s restoration
policy. Such is the true interpretation of the fall
elections, from which the people lately in rebel
lion should derive unmingled satisfaction. We
doubt not, however, that the radicals, misinter
preting the result of the elections as widely as our
Richmond cotemporary has done, will make a
daring effort in the approaching Congress to de
feat the President’s policy, but they will be over
whelmed then as signally as when they were at
tempting to control the State Conventions. We
hope that they will make an open lick at the
President, for in doing so they will make them
selves unmistakably known, thereby wholly dis
connecting themselves from the conservative na
tional element on which the Administration must
rely for success. The true friends of President
Johnson will constitute a majority iu the next
Congress, and they will construe the fall elec
tions as meaning an emphatic support, in every
particular, of the present restoration policy.
Such, we believe, is at once the accurate and
cheering view which our Southern friends should
take of the late elections, and, inspired by them,
they should increase their devotion to “the wise
and liberal policy of reconstruction inaugurated
by the President.
The Gale on the Coast.—For some days
past a sdVere gale has been experienced on our
coast, and apprehensions have existed that ves
sels hound to this port, might have encountered
it, and felt its effect. By the arrival yesterday
evening of the brig Rush, Capt. Itaynor, from
New York, we learn that the British ship Mariana,
Capt. J. J. Coombes, 49 days from London, bound
to this port, in ballast, was wrecked on Tuesday
afternoon last, while attempting to reach this
port. She had stood out and off for several days
without finding a pilot, anil the gale coming on,
was driven ashore near the second outer buoy on
Tuesday morning last at nine o’clock. By three
o’clock in the afternoon, the ship commenced
breaking to pieces, and will be a total loss. The
brig Rush, Capt. Raynor, from New York, liove
in sight, and was enabled to save the officers and
crew of the ship, together with a few of their ef
fects. The Captain, officers and crew of the
wrecked vessel were landed yesterday afternoon
at our wharf, and express their thanks to those
who rescued them by their timely assistance.—
The Mariana was a iirst class ship, of 1,000 tons
burthen, and left London on the 27th September,
for this port, where she had been consigned to
order. During the past week the weather has
been very rough and hazy on the coast, and fears
are apprehended that other vessels have been
wrecked.—Set can nafi Herald.
Who Is It ?—The Richmond Times, of the
10th instant, contains the following choice mor-
eeau, which will be of interest to some of the
fair young ladies of Augusta:
Scrimmage between two Jealous Females.
—We learn that, on Wednesday morning, an in
teresting “set-to” took place in a fashionable dry
goods store on Broad street. It seems that two-
young ladies, each of whom labored under the
delusion that she was the sole recipient of a cer
tain young man’s affections until a few days pre
vious, met for the first time as above. Words
soon culminated in blows, or rather, in smacks
and scratches, and, for a while, silks, laces, curls,
waterfalls, ribbons, furbeloes, fringes and flounces
fairly flew. Watching his oppotunity, a fearless
“knight of the yard-stick” finally interfered and
separated the fair belligerents. Their respective
wardrobes were so much disarranged and their
dear little faces so much scratched, that basins
and water were in immediate demand, and hacks
were subsequently brought up to convey the
feminine combatants to their respective homes.
Rumor hath it, that the gay young gallant who
has been paying attention to both, and about
whom they scratched and gouged, is really the
affianced of one of the wealthiest and most beau
tiful young ladies in Augusta, Georgia. But
then the Richmond girls knew nothing about
this, you know.
Of the fifty carriages that followed the hearse
containing thi* body of Lord Palmerston, forty
were empty. The Queen sent an empty carriage
bv way of paying her respects. The Prince of
Wales had a ball the night after Palmerston died.
A London letter says:
“The Queen of England was represented at
the funeral by Yiscount Bury and the Grand
Chamberlain. If you ask why not by the Prince
of Wales, I cannot tell you; but if you were here,
and asked many people, they would tell you it
was the jealousy of the Queeii. It is the popular
and more than popular belief, that this jealousy
is not diminished, and that it is carried quite be-
yound the bounds of reason and moderation.
“Though the prince of Wales did not appear
in the funeral procession, he went to the Abbey
to make some atonement for having given a ball
at Kelso on the night following the death of the
Premier. He did not see why Lord Palmerston’s
dying should stop his dancing; but some people
were of a different opinion ; and as we have a
Queen’s party and a Prince’s party, who would
Ik* glad to l>e a Prince Regent’s party, the faux
pas was made the most of.
A Family Wedding Coat.—Tha Staunton
Spectator, in the following, gives an account of a
coat that lias proved a veritable heir-loom:
“ Many years since, an old German citizen of
Pendleton county, when about to lead liis fair
• frow ’ to the hymeneal altar, purchased a broad
cloth coat in which he was married. His wife
presented him with many children, among whom
were eight sons, every one of whom wore married
in the same coat in which their father married
their mother. The youngest of the sons had
secen sons, even* one of whom were married in
the same wedding coat, and after the youngest
son of the seven, or the youngest grandson of
the original owner of the coat had led his blushing
bride to the altar in his venerable grandfather’s
fashionable wedding coat, he sold it for the sum
of $10. What has become of the coat since- it
was sold we have not been advised, but suppose
that some one is keeping it for the purpose of
getting married in it.”
In a Hurry to get Married.—Last Monday,
while Judge Lamberth was holding court, in the
the usual style of solemn dignity, ^characteristic
of legal deliberations, a man came into the court
room? and, approaching the Judge, who was in
intense deliberation of some knotty point of the
law, said, “I want to get married.” ' “Well, well,”
said the Judge, ia liis usual bland tone and style,
"just wait a little, I am engaged on the Bench
now, but imi attend to your case shortly.”
The man retired and in a short time returned
with his blushing bride, and, leading her upon
the stage where the Judge was seated, insisted
that lie could wait no longer. So the Judge,
calling some of the parties to witness the cere
mony, married them in due form. The man then
called for his bilL But the Judge refused to re
ceive more than the usual fee for license, and at
once resumed the investigation of the case on the
Docket, while the lawyers and other persons in
the court room intensely enjoyed the novel inter
ruption.—Bwwe Courier.

To the Hu nor able the Senate and liaise of Bepre-
sentattoes :
Gentlemen: I had the honor of receiving
from the President of the United States the fol
lowing telegraphic dispatch on the 28th Octolier
last:
“7’o B. F. Perry, Provisional Governor:
“Your last two dispatches have been received,
and the pardons suggested have been ordered.
“I hope that vour Legislature will have no
hesitation in adopting^ the amendment to the
Constitution of the United Stat&s abolishing
slaver}-. It will set an example which will no doubt
be followed by the other States, and place South
Carolina in a most favorable attitnde liefore the
nation. I trust in God that it will be done. The
nation and State will then be left free and un
trammeled to take that course which sound poli-
cy, wisdom, and humanity may suggest.
'(Signed) “Andrew Johnson,
“President of the United States."
Three days afterward I received the following
telegram from the President, dated
Washington, Oct. 31.
‘‘ToBenjamin F. Perry, Provisional Governor:
“There Ls a deep interest felt as to what course
the Legislature will take in regard to the adop
tion of the amendment to the Constitution of the
United States abolishing slavery, and the as
sumption of the debt created to aid in the rebel
lion against the Government of the United States.
If the action of the convention was in good faith
why hesitate in making it a part of the Constitu
tion of the United States ? I trust in Goil that
the restoration of the Union will not be defeated,
and all that has so far been well done thrown
away. I still have faith that all will come out
right yet. This opportunity ought to l»e under
stood anil appreciated by the people of the South
ern States. If I know my own heart, and every
passion which enters it, it is my desire to to re
store the blessings of the Union, find tie up and
heal ever}- bleeding wound which has been caused
by this fratricidal war. Let us be guided by love
and wisdom from on high, and union and peace
will ouce more reign throughout theJand.”
(Signed) “Andrew Johnson.
To these telegraphic dispatches 1 replied that
the war debt of South Carolina was very incon
siderable ; that our whole State debt at this'time
wits only about six millions of dollars ; that this
M as mostly incurred anterior to the war in con
structing railroads, and building a new State-
house, with an old debt of long standing. That
we had assumed no portion of the Confederate
debt, and were responsible in no way for it. The
expenditures which the State had incurred up to
a certain period had all been settled and refunded
by the Confederate States.
I stated that South Carolina had abolished
slavery in good faith, and never intended or
wished to renew it. That the Legislature was
then considering a wise, just and humane system
of laws for the government and protection of the
freeduien in all their rights of person and prop
erty, and that there was no objection to the
adoption of the proposed amendment to the Fed
eral Constitution, except an apprehension that
Congress might, Under the second section of that
amendment, claim the right to legislate for the
negro after slavery was abolished. I likewise
stated that no official notice had ever been re
ceived by the Legislature of the proposed
amendment to the Constitution of the United
States.
In reply to this dispatch, I received yesterday
the following telegram from the Secretary of
State, dated Washington, Nov. 6th :
“7b His Excellency, B. F. Perry, Provisional Gov
ernor :
“Your dispatch to the President, of Nov. 4th,
has been received. He is not entirely satisfied
with the explanation it contains. He deems ne
cessary the passage of adequate ordinances, de
claring all insurrectionary proceedings in the
State unlawful and void ah initio.
“Neither the Constitution nor laws direct offi
cial information to the States of amendments to
the Constitution submitted by Congress. Notice
of the amendment by Congress abolishing slavery
was, nevertheless, sent by the Secretary of State,
ai the time, to the States which were then in
communication with the Government. Formal
notice will immediately be given to those States
which were then in insurrection.
“The objection which you mention to the last
clause of the constitutional amendment is regard
ed as querulous and unreasonable, because that
clause is really restraining in its effects, instead
of enlarging the power of Congress.
“The President considers the acceptance of the
amendment by South Carolina as indispensible
to a restoration of her relations with the other
States of the Union.
(Signed) “Wm. H. Seward.”
The formal notice of the proposed amendment
to the Constitution of the United States has not
been received. When it is I will communicate
the same to you. The amendment may be seen
in the acts of the last Congress, and is' in these
words:
“Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, ex
cept as a punishment foretime, whereof the party
shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within
the United States, or any place subject to their
jurisdiction. Sec. 2. Congress sludl have power to
enforce this article by appropriate legislation.”—
[Approved February 1,1865. [
A few days since 1 addressed a cammuntcation
to Mr. Seward, Secretary of State, by mail, in
which I repeated and enlarged on the views, pre
viously expressed to the President, in reference
to the objections which were entertained in South
Carolina to the proposed constitutional amend
ment. I am happy to find that the Secretary of
State does not regard these objections as well
founded, but considers them “querulous and un
reasonable.” It is true that a plain, honest con
struction of the language of the amendment
would be that slavery was abolished in the Uni
ted States, and that Congress should simply en
force it. When this was done their legislation
would be ended. They could attempt, under
the authority given by this amendment, to pass
laws for the' government of the “freedmen” in
their free state. The Attorney General of the
United States and the President have both been
understood as concurring in this opinion. It
would, therefore, be well, in adopting the pro
posed amendment, to place on record the con
struction which had been given to it by the Ex
ecutive Department of the Federal Government.
It is manifest from the earnest, eloquent and
patriotic terms in which the President lias urged
the adoption of this amendment, that he regards,
as he says, “all that South Carolina has done,
and well done, as thrown away,” unless the
amendment is accepted by the Legislature.
The Secretary' of State is still more explicit in
his language. He says: “The President consid
ers the'acceptance of thearnendment liy South
Carolina as indispensabKWfo a restoration of her
relations with the other States of the Union.”
The reason why this exaction is made of the
Southern States', after they have abolished sla
very, is that they might otherwise, at some future
day, change their constitution, and restore sla
very in defiance of the Federal Government.—
You, gentlemen, have at this time the destiny of
the State in your hands, and I feel assured that
you will act calmly and dispassionately, with a
View to the peace, happiness and well-being of
South Carolina.
I addressed a communication to the Secretary
of the Treasury at Washington a few days since,
urging that in case the Legislature should assume
the payment of that protion of the direct tax for
which South Carolina is liable, that the Federal
Government should receive her bonds for the
same, or suspend the collection of the tax for the
present year. I would advise the immediate as
sumption by the State, of her portion of the di
rect tax, which is about $366,000. This will re
lieve the people from the immediate payment of
it to the Federal tax collectors, and enable the
State to make some arrangement in reference to
it with the Treasury Department or Congress.
In my communication to the Secretary of State
I urged the propriety of withdrawing the colored
troops from the interior of the State to the forts
on the sea coast, and requested that white troops
might, for the present, be retained in Charleston,
Georgetown and Beaufort.
I have forwarded the resolution you sent me
the other day, in reference to the schoolhouses
in Charleston, to General Howard, and asked
that they might be restored to the proper author
ises. 1 made the same request in regard to the
Military Hall in Charleston.
[Signed] B. F. Perry.
The message was, on motion, referred to ap
propriate committees.

General Blair, after waiting for several to cast
their votes, said: “ Gentlemen. I offer to cast my
vote, anil am ready to prove to you I am twenty-
one years of age, and have been a resident citi
zen of the State of Missouri for over twenty

oath of allegiance which I have subscribed and
sworn to. 1 decline to take the oath prescribed
l>y the new Constitution of Missouri, and desire
you to decide that I am entitled to cast my ballot
without taking said new Constitution oath.”
Mr. Riilgely rejfiied: “We can’t decide so,
General, but must decide exactly the reverse,” to
which Mr. Thompson assented.'
General Blair then said: “ Gentlemen, I require
you to say whether my ballot is rejected only be
cause I have refused to take the new Constitution
oath ?”
The Judges answered: “Entirely so; for no
other reason ; liecause you refuse to'take the new
Constitution oath.”
General Blair inquired: “ Do you regard me
in all oilier respects as a qualified voter?”
Messrs. Ridgely and Thompson replied: “ Cer
tainly ; your vote is rejected upon that ground,
and that ground only.”
The ballots for Messrs. Peckham and Daily
were then folded by Mr. Ridgeley and marked by
him “rejected,” and General Blair quietly left
the poll.
The Negro Restless.—In Jamaica, Hayti
and San Domingo the negro is iu motion. The
race everywhere se$ms to be moved by a deter
mination to do something. Perhaps long dor
mant faculties are being aroused by a supernatu
ral impulse. But with an aimless purpose and a
darkened understanding, the poor negro acts as
men who fight the air. In San Domingo, the
black man is temporarily at rest, the Spanish in
vaders having been driven away. In Kayti
there is a momentary relief from attempted revo
lution. In the United States the negro is gradu
ally settling into the place assigned to him by a
reconstruction of society, and will plod on with
such assistance as may be vouchsafed by special
sympathizers and well disposed government. In
Jamaica a revolt is said to be in progress, of which
no satisfactory explanation is given, though it
will be remembered we spoke only a lew days
ago of widespread disaffection in that island,
caused by a belief on the part of the negro pea3-
antiy that the colonial authorities were negligent
of their interests. As remarked by the Kingston
Standard:
“Naturally indolent, and acquainted with but
lew artificial wants, it was only to be expected
that the emancipated negro should obey the un
checked instincts of his nature, and prosecute
labor to the extent merely of satisfying liis no
tions of abundance.”
The poverty of the old planters and the suffer
ing entailed by the negro’s own indolence, have
led to disaffection, first apparent in secret milita
ry organizations, but now violently manifested.
At the request of the English Consul, Spanish
war steamers have left Cuba to aid in restoring
order. These movements in the West Indian
archipelago are all probably in some sense sym
pathetic—Journal of Commerce.
Gen. Grant’s Reai. Name.—The Milwaukie
Hews says that a prominent and reliable citizen
of Wisconsin was told by Gen. Sherman, when
on his recent visit to Milk'aukie, “that Gen.Grant’s
real name is Hiram S. Grant, and not Ulysses S.
Grant, as he is usually designated. Gen. Sher
man stated that the name by which Gen. Grant
goes w’as acquired by the blander of the member
of Congress who recommended Gen. Grant for
the military academy, when he handed in the
name of Gen. Grant to the Secretary of War.—
After his appointment to We3t Point the embryo
Lieutenaet General endeavored to secure a cor
rection of the error, but the officers of the acad
emy declined to do so for the want of authority,
ana referred the matter to the War Department,
where for some reason it was neglected. The
modest student of military tactics finally flanked
the difficulty by assuming the name which acci
dent and the official record assigned him. His
mother, however, never forgot to call him ‘Hi
ram,’ and Ulysses never fails to respond to the
call.” Whatever of truth there may be in the
statement, we cannot say.
War Stories.—Among the Confederate pris
oners at Point Lookout, Maryland, there w 7 us a
cocoanut-headed, coal black little contraband,
who had fallen into the Federal army’s hands at
Gettysburg. Upon being told that he would be
released if he would take the oath, he swore lie
wouldn’t, and actually stuck it out.
The prisoners, for amusement, drilled the little
darkie into repeating a number of answers to a
number of odd questions, which brought master
contraband out one day in strong relief, much to
the amusement, and much to our hero’s own as
tonishment at the effect, liis answers produced.
One day the officer of the guard, a new comer,
finding “contraband” among the other prisoners,
the only one of his race there, said: “Why, you
black little rascal, what the devil are you doing
here, I should like to know ?” To which quoth
Cuffee: “Use pris’ner w’ar, sail.” “Well, who
are you, anyhow ?” said the officer. “Contra
band” got up, gave him the military salute, and
said.: ‘T’se de innersent cause ob dis unnatural
an’ farisidal contest!”—N. O. Picayune.
Frances Bentley, his wife, to satisfy an attachment fifa is
sued from a Justices’ court 911th district, O. M.. in favor

Deacon Johnson is a great temperance man,
and sets a good example ot total abstinence as
far as is seen. Not long ago he employed a car
penter to make some alterations in his parlor, and
in repairing the comer near the fire-place, it was
found necessary to remove the wainscotting, when
lo! a discovery was made that astonished every
body. A brace of decanters, a tumbler, and a
pitcher were cosily reposing there, as if they had
stood there from the beginning. The deacon
was summoned, an^s he beheld the blushing
bottles, he exclaimed,
“Wal, I declare, that’s curious, sure enough.
It must be that old Baines left them there when
he went out of this ’ere house, thirty years ago.”
“Perhaps he did,” returned the carpenter;
“ but, Deacon, the ice in the pitcher must have
been friz mighty hard to stay so till this time.”
What; Protection Means.—The Chicago
Tribune knocks over some Western protection
ists in- this way:
“We hold that the government has no moral
right to say that we shall pay a Massachusetts
manufacturer five cents more for a yard of cot
ton cloth than it is worth, under the pretense of
protecting him, when he has long since passed
beyond the need of protection. We say, more
over, that the West will not quietly acquiesce in
such nonsense.”
Death of Wm. J. Sassnett, D. D.—The
death of this well known gentleman took place
near Sparta, Hanoock comity, Georgia, on the
3d instant. He was a man of much prominence
in the M. E. Church South. At onetime he was
for a period of several years professor of moral
and mental science, and the higher English
branches in the Emory college in this State. Lat
terly he was president of the East Alabama Col
lege. His death is an irreparable loss and will
be regretted by all who knew him.—Macon Tele
graph.
Hon. John H. Reagan has issued another ad
dress to the people of Texas, counseling them to
acquiesce thoroughly in the order of things, and
to bury pa$t animosities.
The Second Baptist Church in Richmond has
unanimously called Rev. Hon. J. L. M. Curry, of
Alabama, to be its pastor. Mr. Curry represent
ed Alabama in the National Congress before the
war, and while it was in progress held a seat in
the rebel Congress. Since the close, of the war
he has been preaching.— Washington Union.
A New Thermometer.—Messrs. St. Claire,
Deville and Troost have invented a pyrometer
capable of measuring a temperature reaching as
high as 1,530 deg. C. At this beat, the inventors
state copper and sliver are vaporized, and feld
spar perfectly fused.
A good story is tolil of a country gentleman
who for the first time heard an episcopal bishop
preach. He had read much of the aristocracy of
the Church, and when he returned home he was
asked if the people were stuck up. “Pshaw, no,”
replied he, “why the minister preached in his
shirt sleeves!”
A clergyman, at the examination of the
young scholars of his Sunday school, put the
following question:
“Why did the children of Israel set up a golden
calf?” “Because .they had not money enough to
purchase a cow.”
