Save Me from My Friends.
In Ui(' Cincinnati Commercial, of the 27tn
ult., a Republican paper, and, therefore, not
likely to “misrepresent” its own party, we find
a letter from Jackson, Mississippi, giving an
account of certain operations of the “freed
men’s friends” in that section. It will he seen
from the extract given below, that certain offi
cers ol negro regiments, being mustered out,
have been making from S2O to S3O on each of
their %<jiiliers in hiring them to the planters;
and the extracts also open another chapter of
the mysteries of cotton stealing. Still, we
have no doubt,-the evidence of the parties guil
ty of these ilieit transactions, concerning loy- ;
alty at the South, would be greatly appreciated j
by the Reconstruction Committee :
-CALCULATION ON TUB DAHKEV’s MUSCLE, OK j
“SAVE MB FROM MV FBIENS.”
Seven regiments of United States colored in
fantry are now being mustered out here. Hosts
of planters and their agents are eager to hire
Sambo to take up the shovel and the hoe, and
go to work on the plantations as soon as he
lays down the musket and the knapsack, re
ceives his discharge, and pockets the last dol
lar due him from Uncle Sam. There is quite a
lively competition in securing his services.—
Twenty-five and thirty dollars per month and/,
unions ape offered. 1
Officers of these regiments frequently receive
twenty or twenty-five dollars for every hand
they secure. Some of them pocket in this way
the snug little sum of SSOO or SI,OOO. There is
no patriotism and less love in such transac
tions. This final shave of the gullible African
evinces considerable Yankee shrewdness and a
great deal of selfishness. It seems quite proper
to these gentlemen that the poor negro soldier
should give his late officer a parting gift of
twenty or thirty dollars as a memorial of re
spect. So many ex-soldiers have had their
“eyeteeth out” in this manner that those re
maining unemployed are indisposed to enter
into any contracts where officers are at ail con
cerned. The men who pay the largest bonus
for securing hands, generally pay the lowest
wages, and make the hardest masters, and
this idea is beginning to penetrate the darkey’* i
head.
SPECULATION ANII SUDDEN' WEALTH —SOME-
BODY'S CORNS PINCHED.
Tliis is akin to the cotton-stealing specula
tions in which certain regiments were engaged
on the Mobile and Ohio railroad. It can never
tie told how many hundreds, and it may be
thousands, of bales of cotton, belonging to the
United States Government, and which it was
the duty of these regiments to guard, were
stolen by them and sold to citizens. Privates
suddenly became rich, wore the finest suits of
broadcloth, sported gold watches, and had
thousands of dollars in greenbacks and United
States bonds. How far these regiments were
pervaded by this leaven of rascality, this mania
for surreptitious gain, deponent saith not. Such
discreditable, swindling operations deserve not
only ventilation but investigation. If these
charges are susceptible of palliation, let the ac
cused vindicate themselves against the asper
sions of countless defamers. We would.be
glad, for the reputation of all concerned if such
opprobrium were removed, and an honorable
record established for all our great Uncle’s
nuu tial sons.
Very Good.
The late Major General in the Federal army,
says the Mobile Hegister, who writes the follow
ing letter to the Governor of Mississippi, sets a I
good example, it it should be generally fol- j
lowed, “ Adams & Co.’s Express ” would do
“a custom house business” in bringing home
all the piano fortes, books, pictures, watches,
jewelry and “ silver spoons” which were
eloined in the process of crushing out the re
bellion. We wonder if even “the beast” would
not strain a point in his natural character and
disgorge. We. would like to see the inventory i
of his personal confiscations:

Cotton Picking by Machinery.—A cotton
picking machine has been invented which it is
said will do the work of twenty men, and dis
4ieiise with the labor of extra hands. The in
ventor claims that it will gather cotton at dis
tances ranging f rom six inches to six feet, that
it will gather it as elcau as the most expert
hand ; taking the cotton only from the bolls
winch are fully ripe and well open, leaving the
undeveloped pods uninjured, and not harming
the plant.
Os course, the difficulties infinitely exceed
those attending the mowing and reaping ma
chine. But these difficulties have been over
come by the ingenuity of a New England man;
and the most skillful experts of Massachusetts
pronounce the invention a success. If this
proves true, the machine will be more effect ual
Ilian the cotton gin in stimulating the produc
tion of the great staple. The commerce of the
world will be once more revolutionized by the
enormous increase of the cotton crop; and this
timely invention will be of incalculable value,
both to its proprietors and to the country. The
model is now in this city, under the charge of
Gen. Hunt, a Tennesseean; and it will be of
fered to the capitalists of tliis vicinity. If it
answers the expectations of those who have
seen it, our manufacturers will be fortunate in
securing the property of this great invention.

Ben. Butler at the Confessional.—Ben.
Butler, in acknowledging the receipt of divers
“ beautiful presents,” being the leaving of a fair
recently held in Philadelphia under the super
vision of the colored “ladies” of that town, and
sent to him as a peculiar mark of esteem, talks
about their being “rich and intrinsically valua
ble,” and says that they “shall be laid up, witli
other treasures,” for his posterity. Now, with
out wishing to be considered meddlesome or
curious, we would like to know (wherein Ben’s
“other treasures” consist 5* Have they any ref
erence, for instance, to spoons or bank notes!
Let Butler make a Clean breast of it while he is
about it, and enlighten the public a little upon
this point. That is all.— New York World,

r_ W ASiriNGTpN, April 9.—The galleries of the
r House of Representatives are crowded to their
r fullest capacity. Many persons are unable to
: obtain seats. There are also many spectators
on the floor. The great attraction is the Civil
Rights bill, returned from the Senate to-day,
i and which at a quarter past one was taken up
t '.»y the House for action.
j New York, April 9.—The Tribune's Wash
, ington special says: Alexander 11. Stephens
continues to receive many calls from those who
■ have been admirers of his course for the past
i five years, and those holding high positions,
who are now disposed to make a hero of him.
He has become very much disheartened as to an
early admission into the Senate, and says he
shall go back on Wednesday. He has not the
slightest doubt but that lie will yet have a seat
■ given him in the Senate. He estimates the com
ing cotton crop of the South at three million
bales. . .
It is generally expected that the President
j will in a few days release Jeff. Davis and Cle
ment C. Clay on parole. There is no probabili
! ty of their ever being tried for their participa
tion in the conspiracy by which tlie President
j was murdered. It is not unlikely that Con
! gress will again call for the testimony that has
i so far been kept secret, audits existence known
lo but few persons. Judge Holt has expressed
his opinion in writing that it was enough to
convict them, and no one is more surprised at
their not being tried than Judge Advocate
Holt.
A Washington special says six of the. Alex
andria rioters have been convicted by a military
commission, and sentenced to hard labor in
Albany jail. John Menkin, for five years; Jno.
Lawler, two years; Jno. Travem, Joseph Hors
e »nd Gilbert Simpson, each six months.
Oscar Meykin is not yet sentenced, as he is
liable to trial for murder. When the criminals
left Alexandria for Albany, the female sympa
thizers, and others, met at the depot and cheer
ed and waved their handkerchiefs as they left.
As Gen. Banks has never submitted a report
! ot the battle of Cedar Mouhtain, Va., and the
siege of Port Hudson, the Secretary of War has
called him for said reports, which the General
is at present engaged in preparing.
Reports were received Saturday by the Com
missioner of Customs from a revenue officer
stationed between Ogdensburg and Rono’s
Point, detailing the capture of several cargoes
of smuggled goods, consisting mostly of
liquors, and amounting in value to several
thousand dollars.
The Times' Washington special says : Adele
; gation from the Western Press Association are
urging upon the Ways and Means Committee a
reduction of the present duty on unsized paper
from twenty per cent, to a duty not exceeding
six per cent.
The Treasury Department received, a day or j
two ago, a statement from the bank Superin- j
tendent of Albany, New York, showing the
number and condition of the State banks in j
existence in that State. It appears that there j
are one hundred and four institutions issuing
their own notes. The amount oi their circula
tion up to January Ist, was $’.1,000,000. All the
State banks, after the Ist July next, will have
to pay ten per cent, on every dollar they pay
out, whet her in their own notes or those of
oilier banks. Before the present national bank
ing system went into operation, the banks of
the Stale of New York had a circulation of
$20,000,000.
The Commissioner of tin* General Land Office,
having received a number of communications
from soldiers and others who have served du
ring the late war, announces in reply that there
is no law granting land or bounty land war
rants to soldiers or sailors engaged in the late
war against the rebellion. The acts of the 3d of
March, 1855, and 14th of March, 1850, apply
only to persons who had served in the army anil
navy prior to those dates. The homestead act
of flic 31st of March, 1800, grants a homestead
of one hundred and sixty acres to soldiers, sail
j ors and citizens who reside thfreon a period of
J live years, at a cost ofslOand the register’s and
i receiver’s fees. Soldiers and sailors may file
applications for a homestead while in the mili
tary or naval service, and the period thereafter
in which they may remain in service will be
counted as a portion of the five years’ residence
required.
The Herald's Washington special says : Con
siderable sensation was created Saturday in this
city by the sudden death of a couple in a fiuuily
of colored people with all tlit* symptoms of
cholera. Investigation disclosed the facts that
the habitation of the family was in an extremely
filthy condition,‘and that others of its members
were likely to suffer from that cause.
'l'lic Times' Washington special gives the
statements of Major Walker, of the sth U. 8.
Cavalry, regular army, respecting the political
and social condition of South Carolina. The
Major, who served will', disjjue'tjoji throng** the
war, Has Just refillftifnTtoin that section of the
country, and gives a most encouraging aecojunt
of these matters. He says the freedmen every
where are busily and peacefully at work, and
there seemed to be no signs of idleness or dis
content anywliere. Tlie only serious troubles
in that State lately have resulted from the
depredations and outrages of a guerrilla band J
calling themselves regulators or reformers, j
This band, about 100 strong, led by a notorious j
ex-rebel officer, made it their chief business to j
molest tin' freedmen, but by degress began to !
plunder blacks and whites indiscriminately, and j
the latter manifested a willingness to aid in ex
terminating them. As fast as captured they
will be tried as outlaws, and, if convicted,
executed.

New York, April 9.— The Herald's New
Brunswick special says: The reply of the Gov
ernment to the address of the Legislative Coun
cil was communicated Saturday evening, just
previous to the adjournment oi' Parliament. It
endorses the .Confederation recommendations
embodied in the address to the Queen. The
docliment took the Government party in the
lower house completely by surprise, and forces
upon them the necessity of resigning, as their
policy is anti-Confederation. Important action
is expected in the House to-day. Botli parties
are preparing for a severe contest. The Gov
ernment, it is thought., M ill go out by Tuesday.
There is great popular excitement, and much
indignation is felt at the Governor’s course. —
Tlie anti-Confederation party say that an at
tempt to force tlie Confederation upon them,

The Pope and the Prophets.— A. few days
ago it was reported tliat Pius IN had prophesied
tiat lie would have to leave Rome this year
return next year, and die the following year. A

capable of making and uttering such a forecast.
No Pope has ever completed the twenty-third
year of his Pontificate, if Pius IX should live
untij 1809 he would do so. But as no Pope has
ever done so, he will not. Therefore lie must die
in 1868. But lie lias always talked of fresh per
secutions, and about his being compelled to
leave koine once more. Again tlie Church must
triumph. Therefore lie must return. There
will be only time for all these necessities by
leaving Rome tins year. Therefore, &c.
[Correspondence of the Cincinnati Commercial.
The Reconstruction Committee.
I am sorry to observe a disposition on the
part of the Reconstruction Committee to sup
press, in the pretended publication of General
Lee’s testimony, the most important portion
of that distinguished officers examination.
I violate no confidence in giving it, as follows :
Q. What kind of shirts did you wear during
the war?
A: Calico, sometimes, and sometimes woolen.
Q. You are married, are you not ?
A. Yes, I am. *
Q. Well state to the committee what kind
of under-clothing your wife wore during the
unholy strife.
A. I was not aj home much of the time and
can’t say.
Q. What color was it ?
A. J don’t know.
Q. Wasn’t it gray ?
A.. I never took notice.
Q. Don’t you know that the Indies of the
South formed a secret cabal for the wearing of
gray jretticoats during the war ?
A. I do not.
Don’t you think they wore more gray
than blue in the article of clothing to which we
refer ?
A. Ido not know. Never investigated that
subject.
Q. Is it true that the women of the South
wear Jell'. Davis’s picture in their bosoms ?
A. I never took notice. Should not be sur
prised if some of them did.
Q. Do you think a Freedman’s Bureau agent
would be allowed to marry into a first family of
Virginia ?
A. If a young lady belonging to a first family
were willing, I suppose he could.
Q. How long will it be before pumpkin pies j
become a favorite dish in the late rebellions !
districts ?
A. Ido not know. Some people like them J
now.
Q. Is there not a great aversion to codfish, as ;
a Yankee staple of diet ?
A. 1 do not know that there is.
Q. Do they like pork and beans in Virginia.
A. Some people do.
tj. Wlmt’s your opinion of the Fenians ?
A. i have not given the subject much atten
tion.
(j. How are you on Schleswig-Holstein ?
A. I have not made tip my mind on that sub
ject either.
Q. Which side do you sleep on?
A. The right side, generally.
Do Southern men generally continue to
sleep in arms, notwithstanding the cessation of
the rebellion ?
A. Those who are married do, I believe.
There are other parts of General Lee’s testi
mony not yet published by the Committee on
Reconstruction. I trust I have given enough
to show, when contrasted with what has here
tofore been given to the public, that the most
significant portions of the examination—those
bearing most directly on the great problem of j
reconstruction, are wilfully suppressed.

Testimony of the New York Times Cor
respondent.—-Mr. Ben. C. Truman, corre
spondent of the New York Times , was before
the Reconstruction Committee to-day, and tes
tified at length concerning the situation of af
fairs in Texas, Florida and Louisiana. Mr.
Truman has made an extended tour of eight
months through the South since the war, and
lias observed tilings closely. He testified that,
tlic 4jco4>le of Texas and Florida particularly
seem to have accepted the situation fairly, and
that, although no exhibitions of what may be
termed patiiotism were manifested, he saw no
acts of unmitigated disloyalty during his trip,
but on the contrary, the people almost every
where expressed and evinced a desire and de
termination to obey all laws, including those
growing out of the late war. That lie conversed
with two-thirds of the ex-rebel generals, and
they all stated that in case of a foreign war,
they would oiler their services to the United
States Government. lie also testified that al
i though there were thousands of people in Tex-
I as wiio were in favor of negro suffrage, he be
lieved it would be impracticable to give the
colored people of that State the right of suff
rage at the present. He did not" think the
great masses of the people would be favorable
to Senator Stewart’s resolution. He thought j
j troops were necessary in Northern Texas to j
protect loyal men, as large numbers of Quan- 1
troll's Shelby's and Duff’s commands, most of
whom were Missourians, infested that neigh
borhood. Otherwise, no troops were neces
sai;y. Mr. Truman testified that lie passed
through all the rieli counties of Florida and
Texas, and ttie freedmen were all at work and
doing well; that there was perfect'harmony ex
isting between former master and slave; that
be conversed with 1 110 delegates in the late, con
vention and other leading men upon the Sub
ject, and they all concurred in saying that the
freedmen were doing first rate. lie said there
could lie no mistake about the good treatment
of the colored people. 011 the whole, he be
lieved that the people of the South, wit h few
exceptions, meant to he loyal and could be
trusted.
Horrible.— The Chicago Times is respon- i
sible for what follows: Miss Clara Barton lias
been before the Reconstruction Committee, and
her testimony will leave no doubt in the mind
of any Radical that the entire South is disloyal ,
and that suffrage, property, offices, everything,
should be turned over exclusively to the ne
groes. Nearly all her testimony is taken up
with the case of a negro named Cato. Cato had
a wife, and she had a baby, and all three lived
with some mean white people in southwestern
Georgia. The mean white people set Mrs. Cato
to spinning; and because -Mrs. Cato only spun
seven “knots” and a half, instead of eight,
“knots,” this mean white people gave the color
ed lady a tremendous trouncing. Thereupon
Mr. Cato and Mrs. Cato and a bundle, (who
ever saw a Southern negro on the move with
out a bundle ?) took to the woods, and after
much tribulation reached Miss Clara Barton,
and related their sufferings. Moved to indigna
tion by this harrowing recital, Miss Clara Bar
ton got a neighboring Federal officer to send a !
force alter Cato’s baby, chickens and lied tixins.
Tliis was done; the baby, chickens and lied lix
ins were turned over to Mr. Cato and Mrs. Cato;
j and the suffering couple were immediately sup
| filled with rations and a residence and nothing
j to do by the Frecdmen’s Bureau.
Tliis is the substance of Miss Clara Barton’s 1
testimony, and which the New York Tribune i
thinks of sufficient importance to give to the |
I world in extenso. It is quite evident to any un- j
1 prejudiced mind, from the perusal of what'Miss
j Barton swears was told her by a negro about
! liis wife and her baby and their (negro, wife,
| baby and bundle’s) overseer, that the South '
: should not lie admitted to representation in
Congress.
There has evidently been no “change of heart”
in the South ; the ficoplc there are “disloyal,”
and the only remedy is “in Manhood Suffrage;”
that is, in disfranchising all white men and en
franchising the negroes.

BSrWE HAVE LEARNED NOT TO BE
astonished at anything. Yoars of experience and a
correspondence extending throughout all nationalities
of the liahitahle globe, have turned theories into facts
and established a basis from which we need not err. —
We are not surprised at sucli facts ns tho following,
although the persons who write them are. We know
the persons and circumstances, hence feci at liberty to
endorse their statements:
“ New Bedford, Mass., Nov. 24,1583.
Dear Sir : I have been afflicted many years with
severe prostrating cramps in my limbs, cold feet and
hands, and a general disordered system. Physicians
and medicines failed to relieve me. While visiting
some friends in New York who were using Plantation
Bitters, they prevailed upon me to try them. I com
menced with a small wine glassful alter dinner. Feel
ing better by degrees, in a few days I was astonished
to find the coldness and cramps had entirely left me,
and I could sleep the night through, which I have not
done for years. I feel like another being. My appe
tite and strength have also greatly improved by the
use of the Plantation Bitters.
Respectfully, Judith Russel.”
“ Reedsbury, Wis., Sept. IS, 1863.
* * * “ I have been in the army hospital
for fourteen months—speechless and nearly dead. At
Alton, 111., they gave me a bottle of Plantation Bit
ters. * * * Three bottles restored my speech and
cured me. * * *
C. A. Flaute.”
Tho following is from the manager of the Union i
Home School for the children of volunteers:
“ Havemkykk Mansion, 57th St., )
New Y ork, August 2, 1803. \
Dr. Drake: Your wonderful Plantation Bitters
have been given to some of our little children suffer
ing from weakness and weak lungs, with moHt happy
effect. One little girl in particular, with paius in her
Jjeaih loss of appetite and daily wasting consumption,
on whom ill medical skill had been exhausted, has
been entirely restored. We commenced with but a
teaspoonful of Bitters a day. Her appetite and
strength rapidly increased, and she is now well.
Respectfully, Mrs. O. M. Dkvok.”
# * * iij owe much to you, for I verily
believe the Plantation Bitters have saved my hie.
Rev. W. H. Waggoner, Madrid, N. Y.”
* # # “Thou wilt send me two bottles
more of thy Plantation Bitters. My been
greatly benefited by their use.
Thy friend, Asa Ccriiin, Philadelphia, Pa.”
* * * “I have been a groat sufferer from
Dyspepsia, and had to aliandon preaching. * *
The Plantation Bitters have cured me.
Rf.v. J. 8. Cathorn, Rochester, N. Y.”
* * * “I have given the Plantation Bit
ters to hundreds of our disabled soldiers with the
most astonishing effect. ■ G. W. D. Andrews,
(Superintendent (Soldiers’ Home, Cincinnati, O.”
* * * “The Plantation Bitters have
cured me of Liver Complaint, of which I was laid tip
prostrate, and had to abandon my business.
H. B. Kingsley, Cleveland, Ohio.”
*, * * “ The Plantation Bitters have
cured me of a derangement of the Kidneys anil Uri
nary Organs that has distressed mo for years. It acts
like a charm.
C. O. Moors, No. 254 Broadway.”
&C., Ac., Ac., Arc., Are.
The Plantation Bitters make the weak strong, the
languid brilliant, and are exhausted nature's great re
storer. They are composed of the celebrated Cahsaya
Bark, Wintergreen, Sassafras, Roots, Herbs, Arc., all
preserved in perfectly pure in St. Croix Rum.

Persona of sedentary habits, troubled witli weak
ness, lassitude, palpitation of the heart, lack of appe-
distress after cuting, torpid liver, constipation,
Ac., deserve to suffer if they will not try them.
They are recommended by the highest medical au
thorities, and are warranted to produce an immediate
beneficial effect. They are exceedingly agreeable, per
fectly pore, and harmless,

ARTIFICIAL LIMBS.
SOUTHERN
LEG AND ARM CO.,
MADISON, GA.
THE Artificial Legs and Arms (Uren’s Patent)
manufactured by this Company, have met with
! the unqualified approval of the most skillful and dis
tinguished Surgeons and men of science in France anil
. England; and after the closest and most rigid exami-
I nation in this country, a Commission was Issued by
' tlic Surgeon General of the United States, in his
I “ Circular Order,” May 13th, 1865, to have them fur
! nished to each soldier who had lost a limb in the Fed
i oral service.
i THEY ARE CONSTRUCTED OF WILLOW,
COVERED WITH RAW-HIDE, HIGHLY
| ENAMELED, FLESH COLOR, IMPER
VIOUS TO WATER AND UNAF
FECTED BY HEAT.
A Medium Size Ann weighs only 21
ounces, and a Ley from 4 to O pounds.
Notwithstanding their lightness they are very dura
| hie, requiring hut little expense to keep them in order,
l and so simple in their construction that a common me
, ehanic can make any necessary repairs in a few tnin
; utes, and so strong that it is impossible to split it with
an axe or break it with reasonable force.
We imitate nature to the life, and make the limit
the shape of the corresponding leg or arm, and finish
it as perfectly as possible. The natural motion very
often is so perfect that in large number of cases it is
impossible to tell which is tlie artificial from the sound
limb.
THE ARM
is the wonder of the age and challenges the admiration
of the world. A person whose stump is one or more
inches in length and retains a healthy degree of force
ami rigidity, can, with this arm, at will,
Raise the Artificial Hand to liis Mouth, Forehead or
even to the top or back of bis Head,
Put on or take off liis Hat,
Cany his Valise or Cloak,
Use the Hoe, Axe or Plough Handles,
Roll a Wheelbarrow,
And by securing a knife, fork, pen, nail brush or other
implement into the part of tlie hand prepared tor it,
lie can
Cut liis Food and Carry it to his Mouth,
Write with Respectable Clearness,
Wasli the Remaining Hand, |
Play tlie Violin,
Hoid the Reins in Driving, etc., etc.
THE LEG
is equally as useful and beautiful, and as perfect a
piece ot mechanicism as the arm. Tlie ankle joint is
so constructed as to give the natural motion with the
assistance of the toe joints to the foot, wiileh being
connected to tlie upper part of the leg by artificial
cords running over pulleys, secures a proper lever
power, the whole resting upon a huff base, making the
step light, elastic, natural and easy. Persons wearing
one of these legs
Readily Walk Five Miles —Plough all day long,
Do Carpenter or Cabinet Work,
. Go Up and Down Stairs, with case,
Mount and Dismount a Horse,
And with practice Run, Jump and Dance,
With two Artificial Legs Walk two miles Without
Resting,
Drive a Wagon—Make Salesmen or Expressmen,
Telegraph Operators, Ac.
Our workmen are PRACTICAL ARTIFICIAL

of their own manufacture.

* * We are well acquainted with the gen
tleman and take great pleasure in recommending Him
to any who have been so unfortunate as to lose either
an arm or a leg. He understands his business perfect
ly, and wears an artificial leg himself, of his own make,
on which we have seen him dance; and we defy any
one not acquainted with the fact to detect it. We
have examined these artificial limbs, and have no hesi
tancy in pronouncing them tlie best we ever saw. Let
the maimed and crippled rejoice that the Good Sama
