Is IT True ?-r-Akiu to the defamatory and
unfounded reports of certain Bohemian writers
from the North, who dish up sensational trash
from the South for Radical journals, are some
of the falsehoods concocted by certain officials
connected with the Froedmen’s Bureau. At
this time there appears to be a systematic plan
on foot to villify the Southern people by re
presenting them os disloyalists and perjurers.
The object of this falsification is evident, as it
proceeds not from love for the Union but from
selfish nnd pecuniary motives. The Congres
sional Committee of Fifteen have their agents
In the South who may be compared to the
scriblers Bill Arp represented as coming down
to tlie borders of Dixie, standing on tip-toos
looking over, and then running back shouting
look out! he aint dead yet; the viper still
squirms. Such is the nature of the testimony
published by the Reconstruction Committee.
That portion whieh suits their purpose is em
bellished and magnified, und then given to the
people of the country. Tlie testimony of the
men who are true to the principles of Constitu
tional liberty, and who believe the system of
government now in operation at the South in
compatible with republican liberty, is carefully
excluded from publication, and as carefully put
away, never to resurrected until the Radicals
arc either defeated by the Constitutional party
or successful in their nefarious and despotic
scheme of territorial vassalage. Restore the
South, and wlmt becomes of the immense pow
er and patronage now held in and out of Con
gress by the Radicals and their parasites?—
That moment the Government reverts to its
•Constitutional conrse, and all the unconstitu
tional institutions now in operation become
abolished—Othello’s occupation is gone, and
many now in good, soft, remunerative positions
return to their former unprofitable and insig
nificant positions in civil life. Hence the pow
erful incentive to represent the Southern people
disloyal and to prevent the South from occupy
ing her rightful position in the Union.
The following extract, which we find in one
of our Charleston exchanges, contains state
ments entirely new to the people of Georgia:
“The Assistant Commissioner of the Frced
men’s Bureau, for the State of Georgia, informs
the Bureau that ‘the condition of the freodmen
in commendable. They are all at work under
Government contracts, no laziness being thought
of by them. There is a great prejudice against
educating tile ’Veedmcn, and attempts have been
made to break up the schools established by the
colored people. There exists a hatred deep and
I’jiUrr, coming from the bottom of their hearts,
among the whites, against our Government.—
This lee,'jog they teacli tiieir children. We
Cec this leehttg in ten thousand ways; neither do
they attempt to conceal it from us.’ He repre
sents that ft Is impossible fiir any people to be
more < truant and patient to obtain knowledge
than the freedmen of his district. ‘They also
exhibit, an anxiety and watchfulness unparallel
ed in their efforts not to be offensive to their
former masters.’ In the opinion of the Assist
ant Commissioner, ‘ilia withdrawal of protec
tion to the freed people, who are now indus
trious, energetic and. obedieut, would entail
much suffering upon the loyal refugees*# well
us they.’ ”
That there exists jt “hatred deep and bitter,
eomJug from the bottom of their hearts,” to
wards she Government, is not true. But, If the
Radical party constitutes the Governm* u t of
the United States, there may be some truth in
the foregoing statement. That there is any ha
tred towards the Constitution, as interpreted
and administered by Andrew Johnson, is with
out a shadow of foundation, ns the people of
the South have conformed, in all respects, to
his requirements, and are now doing all in their
power to sustain his policy, and restore the
Union to its former greatness anti prosperity.
As to tlie freedmen, they are equal before
the law, and this clagß will, ere long, find out
*>y sad experience who are their best friends
the Radicals of the North or the people of the
South.
The Metropolitan Record is one of the
ablest as well as one of the most dignified jour
nals now published. Although issned in the
city of New York, it is confessedly a Southern
paper, and boldly defends the rights aud inter
ests of the Southern people. It is not a recent
convert to the Southern side. Throughout the
war, and from its very inception, it has defend
ed the South aud her institutions against the
onslaughts of the Radical party. “ When 'twas
treason to love her and death to defend,” the
Re cord advocated the Southern cause, und its
editor, John Mulally, suffered incarceration for
liis principles and defiant denunciations of the
Abolitionists. Hence it is that four people
should give a liberal patronago to this journal.
Apart from these considerations, however, the
Record is one of the best papers, and our
friends desiring a really able journal from the
North should subscribe to it. Terms, 14 per
year. Mr. F. Walsh will reoeivo subscriptions
at this office.

Worthy of Thought. —At a recent public
meeting iu Buffalo, New York, to sustain the
President, Dr. Brunck, editor of the Democrat ,
a German paper, made a speech, in which he
sketched the disaster* which followed those
nations of the old world that imposed unjußt
disabilities on those whom they conquered.
Among others he contrasted the English policy
towards Ireland and Scotland and the result,
v saying:
“The English policy toward# Scotland had
been just, and brought with IT me spirit Os
unity, so that in national feeling the two coun
tries are inseparably one ; while In Ireland,
where a different policy, ignoring differences of
character and adaptation of local institutions,
has been followed, the more powerful nation, at
a time of peace and when no new oppression
had for many years been instituted, is rocked
to her centre by the hatred and uprising of the
jpeople. As Asdrubal made bis son
iswear eternal hatred to the Romans, so shall
we, by the exclusion of the Southerners, be
the m eans of teaching ineradicable, pernicious
and hereditary hatred to their children. From
these evils it wm not too late to save the coun
try.”

Memorial Tribute.
Died, at Milledgeville, on Tuesday, February
27tli, 1866, General John K. Jackson, of .Au
gusta, G»., aged 38 years.
The quality and degree of a man’s character
and capacity, and the consequent extent of the
field of usefulness wherein they are displayed,
cannot,in general, be more accurately measured
than by the nunlber and sincerity of those be
reaved of his removal. The simple rustic,
whose circle of duty is circumscribed by the
bounds of the little plot he cultivates, may be,
when stricken by the touch of Azrael, as deeply
deplored as the noblest inteUect and largest
soul that ever consecrated its energies to the
improvement of humanity ; but the few, strag
gling forms which gather around his bier sug
gest the humbleness of the lot whose condi
tions he satisfied, and the narrowness of the
sphere in which he revolved. The leaf falls,
and the forest misses it not; the violet blooms,
and is forgotten ; but when a fountain spring,
whieh feeds and fertilizes a whole landscape,
runs suddenly dry, or one of the vigorous oaks
whose branches give hospitable shade and shel
ter to the woodland tribes, lies uprooted by the
storm, the shock is sympathetically distributed
and felt throughout the scene of disaster.
It is no mere figure of speech which thus il
lustrates the vacancy created by the death ot
General Jackson in the community of Augus
ta. He was one of its purest men. He was one
of its profoundest lawyers. Useful in peace;
self-sacrificing in war; amiable in deport
ment, charitable in disposition, energetic in
conduct; upright, manly and noble at all times.
It matters not to sketch the biography of such
a man. So fleeting a testimonial could not per
petuate his memory, were it not permanently
inscribed on the tablets which attest the history
of his city, State and section. That he com
menced the practice of his profession with
promise; that his subsequent exertions more
than fulfilled the most favorable auguries af
forded by his youth—these are household
words in the community in which he was boru
and lived; that he met the outbreak of a gigan
tic war with the pure devotion of a patriot, and
led the charging columns of his countrymen
on battle-field after battle-field, through the
whole scope of its western developments, with
the skill, endurance and gallantry of a veteran
soldier this has established him, forever, •
among their household gods.
The missiles of many bloody conflicts had
failed of their shining mark. A tender Provi
dence had embraced him in its protecting arms, :
and directed every hostile shaft from his bo
som. Safe from the perils of a contest, unex
ampled for tlie moral obstinacy and material
grandeur of its operations, he returned to his
family and friends to brighten the sunshine of
home with his loved presence. But a little
while, and the final summons came. It found
him calm, collected and resigned ; prepared by
an unspotted life to imdergo the ordeal of that
judgment whose decrees are eternal and irrevo
cable. He shrank not before the shadow of the
mysterious valley, but with a chikl-like trust in
the goodness of his Maker and the purity of his
own heart, looked hopefully forward to the
glory beyond it.
Xu contemplating such a life, we cannot but
feel that mourning for its author is equally vain
and inappropriate. We should mourn for the
mourners; for the bereaved wife—for the
stricken children—for the devoted brothers
who survive him, and who acutely feel the un
reasoning and uucontrolable agony of so sud
den and unexpected a separation. Time, with
its soothing balsam and dimly obscuring finger ,
will gradually mollify the harshness of thch
now impetuous sorrow ; and then, iu the pur
moonlight of a tender memory, will be revealed
the gentle face they so deeply loved ; not dark
ened and disfigured by the merely mechanical
transformations of death; but bright with the
reflected beauty of its own serene exaltation,
and whispering in tones of silver the Divine
assurance, “He is not dead, but livetli!”

Release of Admiral Semmes.— Presiden*
Johnson has ordered the discharge of this gen
tleman, who, it will be remembered, was ar
rested at his home in Mobile some mouth
since, and carried to Washington to be tried ns
a pirate on the high seas. The Washington cor
respondent of the Philadelphia Ledger says :
The release of Semmes has been foreshad
owed twice in the Ledger's dispatches, and the
sudden “hitch” 1 have spoken of while the
work of securing evidence was in progress, wa
the President’s own act, and the result of a fu n
examination of his case bv the Executive is thr
order issued this morning for his discharge fror,.
further imprisonment. At no time, it is said,
was the arrest approved by the President or the
Lieutenant General,' it being the opinion of eaeb
that the prisoner was fully protected by his
parole. The letter of Semmes himself, backed
by the legal opinion of Judge Hughes, his coun
sel, was so conclusive on this point that the
President was satisfied his further retention w»=
no longer either just or advisable. It is th
purpose of Semmes to return to Alabama im
mediately^
Fire and Marine Losses for tue Past
Two Months. —The heavy fire and marine
losses during the months of January and Feb
ruary of the present year, says the New York
Herald, have borne hard upou weak insurance
companies. In January there were seventy
three nf“ 8 > wllere the loss at each amounted to
$20,000 aud upwards, a ud the total value of the
property destroyed was within a trifle of ??,-
000,000. There were forty-six of the same class
of fires in February, attended with a loss of
nearly $5,000,000, making about $12,000,000 for
the two months. To this must be added at least
$3,000,000 worth of property destroyed where
the loss was less than $20,000 at each fire. The
marine losses for the same time aggregate $9,-
000,000, and the losses by steamboat disasters
on our lakos and rivers to a million more. Here
is a total of $25,000,000 for two mouths ! Strong
companies will, of course, weather these peri
odic seasons of disaster, but weak ones must
inevitably go under.
A Cdrious Case. —A very curious lawsuit is
now progressing in France, arising from some
legacies test by Mr. Couvreaux to the servants
of the hotel at which he was stopping at the
time of his death. M. Couvreaux, a gent leman
of wealth and position, was a perfect mouima
niac on the subject of guillotines, one of which
he had fitted up in his room, and, after experi
menting on numbers of dogs and cats, he be
came convinced it was the only method by
which a man couid die without pain. Accord
ingly, one evening, he tried the experimeet on
himself. It was most successful, and his head
rolled pleasantly on the floor; but whether he
suffered any pain or not is, of course, unknown.
Ilis relatives contest the will on the plea of in
sanity.
Affairs in Jamaica.— ln Jamaica, the Com
mission of Inquiry sent out by the English
Government to investigate the causes and pro
gress of the late rebellion is busily engaged in
its labors. There is on the island, as in Eng
land, great differences of opinion about the
revolt of the negroes. One party thinks that
barbarous and uncalled for measures were taken
for its suppression; whilst the other party
thinks no punishment was too severe for the
rebels. The former are crying out at the enor
mous expense of the treason trials now in pro
gress—over two thousand dollars a day; while
a deputation of the latter recently waited upon
the deposed Governor Eyre, to thank him fc
his vigorous measures in suppressing the rebel
lion.
Curious Encounter.—Two boys had
queer collision is Norwich, Conn., the oth ?r
day. They were running in the street in oppo
site directions, hidden from each other by the
enormous dimensions of an intervening hoc
skirt. They rounded this obstruction at tie
same time, and struck heads before they had
fairly seen each other. One of them wa
knocked out of his senses and injured internal
ly, and the other had his head bruised.
The Mobile Times learns from a gentleman
just from New York, that in anticipation of tlx
dreaded epidemic, the cholera, in New York
this season, rooms have been engaged at all the
farm houses for miles around the city, by th
wealthy people, to apply at the first approach
of the monster.
New and Dangerous Counterfeit.—With
in a few days, says the Louisville Journal, a
splendidly executed but spurious SSO Treasury
note of the new series, 1863, has been circulated
in this city. This note was evidently engraved
and printed by an experienced bank-note work
er. The only variance from the genuine bill
of the same denomination is in the signature
of the Treasurer, which is rather coarser than
the original. We have never seen so perfect an
imitation of money. On this account it is very
dangerous, and our merchants and blnkers,
several of whom have been already duped by
this new issue, should keep a sharp lookout.
Our police officers are now endeavoring to fer
ret out the counterfeiters.
Greenville and Columbia Railroad.—By
reference to the advertisement, it will be seen
that road is receiving and forwarding mer
chandise and produce over the entire route.
We learn that the rates of freight and passage
are to be reduced, which will enable us to ob
tain from Charleston corn, flour, bacon and
other commodities, at much lower rates than
they now command. The Greenville Mounta
ineer suggests a return by the company to the
former system of return tickets, as both benefit
ing the road, and accommodating the public.
We cordially indorse Bte suggestion.

NEWS BY LAST NIGHT’S MATT.
Toronto, C. W., March 12, p. m.—The num
ber of volunteers answering the Government’s
call is largely in excess of the demand. An
official military ordeT has been published by
the Commander-in-Chief in which he regret's
he is compelled, as a measure of precaution, to
call for the service of so large a number oi vol
unteers. Tins step does not result from the
existence of a condition of war between our
sovereign and a foreign State, but is a necessary
performance of duty which lias devolved upon
the Government to make provision for protect
ing the lives and property of the inhabitants of
the Province and against threatened attacks by
lawless men, who use the territory of a neigh
boring power for the purpose of openly organ
izing an enterprise against the sovereign right
of the Queen and the security of her subjects.
The Commander-in-Chief relies witli confidence
upon the loyal spirit of the Canadians to meet
the extraordinary state of facts, and feels as
sured that, if necessary, the entire population
of the Province will come forward to resist any
invasion of the country.
The Commander-in-Chief knows it is unne
cessary to address observations to the officers
and men called out, or the importance of the
strict attention to their military duties, and is
convinced, should the threats be carried into
fleet-, the Canadian volunteers of the present
day will, with God’s blessing, meet with as
much success in repelling such criminal and
vantoh outrages against humanity and civiliza
:on as was given their ancestors, whether they
rare called upon to roll back from their terri
tories the tide of legitimate war or repulse the
attacks of lawless invaders.
New York,♦larch 12.—The World says com

'ormed with great rapidity, and it is calculated
that General Sweeny will be able, when he feels
justified in calling for their services, to procure
wenty-five thousand able-bodied young men,
who have seen service, in tins city alone. It is
-tnown that sixteen thousand cartridge-boxes
md knapsacks were bought at auction last week,
Tom a well-known house in Park Place, and
lu.ir.iiUe> of arms and ammunition are being
lCgotia' it for irom day to day, by officers de
ni 1 tor that purpose. It is probable that Col.
Tresham will command the first Fenian regi
icnt from this city, and a well-known Southern
■ivalrv officer the second. An artillery regi
nent is ptso being raised, and an independent
mtalion for special service, under the command
if Colonel Murphy, a veteran soldier.
The Herald says that movements of signifl
nyice were reported to be in process of prepa
•ation here yesterday, and funds continue to
lour into the Fenian treasury in Washington.
It is said that the Fenians, in order to exhibit
he perfidy of the British Government, will
iiortly make some astounding developments
in regard to the direct assistance given by
agents of Earl Russell to the late rebellion in
the South.
The World publishes a special from Albany,
which says private atul reliable information
from Burligton, Vt., siatcs iii.it
150,000 men and 200,000
■attern, have been transported quietly, during
the last ten days, from New York, and from
Troy to Burlington, Vt., where they now re
main concealed, awaiting the advance of the
Fenian armies. An abundance is said to be
deposited at Detroit, Buffalo, Ogdensburg,
Plattsburg and Montpelier. Three companies
of Fenian volunteers, commanded by efficient
officers, have been organized in Burlington,
for service in Canada.
Raleigh, N. C., March 7.— The State Legisla
ture adjourned ihis morning. The bill allow
ing negroes to testify in all'cases where they
ire concerned in person or property, when ju
risdiction shall be restored to the courts in the
States, was passed. The usury laws were re
nealed so far as to allow 8 per cent, interest to
be paid when an agreement to that effect is
made by parties.
New' York, March 13.—An Albany special
states it is believed Governor Fenton will par
■lon young Ketehum ; on what grounds it is
not stated.
The report that another robbery of bonds
ind securities had been committed has proba
bly grown out of the fact that containing
*500,000 in securities, belonging to a well
known banker in this city, deposited in the safe
of Mr. Lord, was taken therefrom at the time
the robbery of the 8150,000 was effected. The
5500,000 was in bonds, which, for the most
part, cannot be recognized.
The seizure of whisky distilleries continues
to excite comment in business circles. Dr.
Whitman, under whose special authority they
were seized, returned to Washington, leaving
the factories in eharge of officers as soon as the
seizure was effected. An examination of the
hooks of the establishments seized will be made.
The proprietors ot the establishments will be
required to appear, and will be subjected to a
-igid examination in regard to their previous
business.
Some of tire firms whose establishments have
been pounced upon say they are ready to meet
any charge that may he preferred against them,
as they are confident that they can satisfy the
officers ol the law that no fraud on their part
has been attempted on intended.
They claim that they have made returns with
legal authority, and kept their hooks open at
all times for inspection of officers. The
seizure of distilleries will not be confined to the
city.
Evidence has been procured of extensive
frauds practiced by whisky manufacturers,
whose establishments are on’the other side of
he East and North rivers.
The London Globe , of February 36, says :
We have authority to state that there is no foun
dation of any sort for the rumor that Earl Rus
sell had begged permission of Her Majesty
to resign, and recommended the Duke
of Somerset as his successor. The whole story,
from beginning to end, is a pure fiction.
A meeting was held in Liverpool to-day,
Wednesday. Eighty-eight pounds was sub
scribed in the room, for the purpose of afford
ing aid to Fenians now in penal servitude.
The Cork Reporter, of March lgt, says that
emigration to the United States has already
commenced on a large scale. It is not the poor
er eiass that are departing, but those who could
live at borne if they could only be taught to be
content with their lot.
New York, March 13. —The Commercial's
special says the President told some Congress
men yesterday that he regarded Louisiana more
oyal’than she’ had been since her purchase, and
south Carolina more loyal than she had been
"or thirty years.
Secretary Seward has assured the English
Minister that the Fenians will not be permitted
o commit any overt act, and that the Govern
nent will issue a proclamation in any case of a
violation of the laws.
The Post's special says the Ways and Means
Committee will soon report a new tax bill in
avor of five ceuts per pound on cotton and five
->er cent, on all incomes, extending the exem
ion clause in the latter to SI,OOO.
New York, March 13.—A Washington spe
•ial says a bill is in preparation to be offered in
empowering the Secretary of the
’reasury to dispense with naval officers in the
■venae service at the different ports, if not de
mental to the public interest. Most of these
nffices are mere sinecures.
New York, March 13.—1 tis reported on
V eil street that another great robbery of se
•urities hnd occurred. No particulars, except
hat the loss will amount to half a million of
