1 tUffhli) Jntrlligenrer. Confederate Hriulnlicences. Wo givp still further extracts from the inter esting article contributed by Col. Hevos Vox Borcke to Blackwood's Magazine. The author w as Chicf-of-StatT for Gen. Jeb. Stewart, of Yir- •. 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. From the Cincinnati Esc^uinr. Important 3Ieaaase (Tom Cor. Perry. Executive Department. ) State of South Carolina. - November 7,186-5. ) 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. ADOPTION ET SOUTH CAROLINA OF THE ANTI- SLAVE RT amendment to the constitution. Columbia, S. C., Nov. 13—The constitutional amendment abolishing slavery passed both houses of the South Carolina Legislature today with but little opposition.

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 years, and that I am otherwise qualified to vote at the present election.

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.

Printer’s fee 75 cents per square for each insertion. 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.
