CONSTITUTIONALIST. /nav^u t , AXJGHJSTA. t'&Aj, ■ w .—... TUESDAY MOENUTG, 00T. 26.1.860 OUR DEAD AT GETTYSBURG. Several months ago, we heard of Gen. Meade’s complaint that the "Confederates who fell on the field of Gettysburg had no resting place, even in the bosom of their mother earth. He was anxious that the United States authorities should gather to* gether their bones, bury them in one vast charnel-pit and erect over the relics of be.- roes a monument to ffe#petoa& their “ crime.” Horrified lest this .new applica tion of the sweat-box should be practically essayed, we earnestly implored our jieoplje, now that they had recovered from the mis fortunes of war, to clear away the stigma resting upon them as upon those who shamefully ■ forget their fallen. brethren whose bones whiten a hundred battle-fields and are the sport and mutilation of ob scene animals. To our disgrace be it said, little or nothing has been done in this mat ter; so little, indeed, that some of our former, if not present, enemies are forced to intervene personally and make an appeal to the more humane of their iotea'people. The most conspicuous of these is Hekry, Ward Beecher, who thus speaks : ▼ * “ When we went over that fleldlast Sum mer we were shocked at the neglect which on every side forced itself upon the sight. Six years have gone by, and little or noth ing has been done to save the dead from desecration and outrage. The shallow graves have been laid bare by the elements; the bones have been torn out by rooting swine. Some bleached skeletons are point ed out by the guides down in crevices of rocks and in the ravines of the Devil’s Den. Many bones have been carried away as memorials. Some officers lie buried on the edge of fields aiong the roadside, perishing headboards marking the spot. We found pits and graves in twos and threes around the points of sharpest conflict. We walked about the fields at the foot of Little Round Top, and at every step, in nooks, and under the edge of rocks, the driver pointed out superficial graves. He also said that in multitudes of cases examination would show that the skulls had been carried off. “ Can any one suppose that the spirit of. patriotism is enriched by a contempt for the dead! Shall we suffer a neglect, in spired by animosity, to prolong in time of peace the savage severity that can scarcely be justified in the sternest cxigenciesof war ? “ All the men who fell in the civil war with, arms aimed at their Government, were, nevertheless, men and citizens. Mis taken, deluded, grievous Wrong, they have paid the penalty. They now lay scattered along thousands of miles in unknotfu' graves. It is some consolation to a widowed mother whose only son is slain, if she may mourn over her grave. There are thou-, sands in the land who have lost all, and have not saved eveu a grave. Mourning they knew not whether to turn their faces eastward or westward when, by imagina tion, they seek the places where their be loved lie. “ Col. Meade told ns, in a conversation on this matter, that when he was in com mand in Georgia, a poor and feeble widow came to him, having traveled some 600 miles from Texas, asking help to get on some COO more, to the field of Gettysburg, where an only son had been slain, that she might carry back his bones. Had she reached the spot, and had some angel guided her steps to the place where lie fell, she might liave found that what the swine,had not broken up, the rains haid -■Wished away, or thoughtless strangers had pock eted. Happily Gen. Meade turned back her steps homeward. .» ■ “ Convicts and criminals of every hue, if they die in prison, are decently buried.— We disburden the gibbet tenderly and give sepulture to murderers. Can it be possible that a great and generous nation will much longer sutler the Confederate Dead to be dishevelled and neglected in utter and con temptuous neglect?” These eloquent and passionate, as well as Christian, pleadings are addressed to his fellow-citizens of the North who, with him, believe that we were rebels and traitors. If his rebuke to them is stifaglng and vitriolic, how terribly is it aggravated when applied to the people of the South. If it is shameful for the North to disregard our dead and leave their skeletons as the prey for beastly swine and curiosity-hunt ing jackals of the human species—what epithet shall we apply to the people of the South in the same connection? It'is not at Gettysburg alone that unclean things revel over all that is left of our kindred who surrendered their lives for our sakes. How dare we imagine ourselvesworthy of liberty, if we have no consideration for the departed brave? The Tennessee Senator. —The new United States Senator from Tennessee, Judge Henry Cooter, is “to the manner born.” He was appointed to a Judgeship by Andrew Johnson and served until 1866, when he accepted a chair in the Fac ulty of Cumberland University. Under Brownlow, he several times endeavored to resign his judicial functions, but without avail. He was a member of the State Seu ate, under the new regime, and ran as a Conservative. Before the war, he was a Whig; daring the war, a Unionist; since the war, he has been a Conservative. He defeated Andrew Johnson by securing a coalition of Etheridge men au»l cx-Con- I'ederates. One of the latter, a prominent General, was so bitter against Johnson that he would rather have the eleven wounds which lie received in the war all torn afresh and eaten with the gangrene than that the man who had robbed, plundered, insulted and murdered the Southern people, should be sent to the Senate. Mr. Cooper does not take his. seat until 1871. Before that time we may have the deluge. Congressional Thieves.—A- contributor to the Atlantic Monthly shows that a session of Cougross costs $4,000,000. Among other items, the country has to pay its legislators for scissors, snuff, hair-brushes, and extra morocco desks. A dead Congressman costs for transportation a short distance uo less than $2,144 65. The Sergeantat-Arms frequently makes SSOO a day on the call of the House. A Congressman can send, under frank, anything from a pair of boots to a paper collar. The most startling item of all, found lu the record of contingent ex penses, is this: “12 cotton stay-laces , $6.” An Ugly Caricature. —The editor of the Revolution, Mrs. Cady Stanton, thus depicts the male monster of the period as she secs him: “As man now is, with his tobacco ex haling from every pore, opium, wine, excess, nervous derangement, dyspepsia,erysipelas, rheumatism, scrofula, catarrh, consump tion, sore eyes, bad breath, decayed teeth, brittle bones, and moral weakness to cor respond, the less he repeats himself the bet ter.” Surely there must be faults on the other side wheu such things are repeated. Caustic.— The Washington correspon dent of the Baltimore Gazette says : “ A woman—a pious and an inoffensive woman —was choked to death in Washington, in 1865, upon evidence of conspiracy not a tithe as strong as that already adduced against General Grant and his “ brother-in law” of being privy to the high-handed en deavor to ruin the credit of the country by depreciating its precious currency'.’* EauL Derby— This famous nobleman, lately deceased, was the fourteenth of liis line which was deduced from the time of the Conqueror. He owned vast estates in Ireland, and was so generous a landlord that lie at all times inspected his property in Tipperary unarmed and unattended. He is succeeded by his son, Lord Stanley, | Who has already acquired great reputation as a statesman. Alaska.—Qeu. Hap. H. Thomas reports Alaska as worse than worthless. So the seven millions in gold paid for this barren waste were as good as sunk in the sea. Glad to Hear It.— The Richmond Ex aminer says: |‘“Dirt eating’ in Virginia has not yet assumed that morbid and disgusting form when a lump of clay furnishes a more sump tuous repastft^aKißaftfik Os g©AJ-:old fash •< it* Going the whole Recon air action hog IT the bacon’and greens Os modem progress.

The Sun continues to unfold the secrets of the “ gold pool,” and the developments are of a most startling character, seeing that not only President Grant, but Mrs. Grant also, are made to figure as parties personally interested in the great gambling speculation-which culminated so disastrous ly on the 24th of September. The follow ing statements, the editor says, have been furnished by Mr. Jay Gould,-President of the Erie Railroad, in his own handwriting: (Extract from Jay Gould’s statement. HOW A SUB-TREASURER WAS APPOINTED. The first Mr. Gould saw of Mr. Corbin was in the latter part of May last, when Mr. Corbin sent for him, and they had an interview at Mr. Corbin’s residence, 37 West 27th street, regarding the appoint ment of a sub-TreasOrer in this .city. Mr. Corbin represented to Mr. Gould that he could control the appointment, and wanted to know how he and Mr. Gould could make money by having the inside track. Mr. Gouln understood that the appointee was to be Mr. R. B. Catherwood, the son-in-law of Mr. Corbin. Mr. Catherwood was an old friend of Mr. Gould, and the latter was auxious for his appointment. Mr. Cather wood told Mr. Gould that he would take no action in the matter without first con sulting Mr. Corbin. WIIY CATHERWOOD WAS DROPPED AND BUT TERFIELD was TAKEN UP. At a second interview Mr. Corbin in formed Mr. Gould that he had dropped Mr. Catherwood, fearing that his connection with the President’s family might lie the subject of scandalous comment, and that he ■had fixed on General Butterfield as the ap poiutee, and could get letters from Mr. A. T. Stewart aud others, which would make things appear easy and natural. He said lie could control Mr. Butterfield, in fact, . that he owned him, and that he had con sulted with Mr. Catherwood and the ar rangement was satisfactory to him. The understanding was that Mr. Cather wood was to receive one-fourth of the profit from whatever, was made by any financial operations undertaken upon account of Mr. Corbin and Mr. Butterfield. CORBIN MEETS THE PRESIDENT. Shortly after this Mr. Corbin requested Mr. Gould to meet Geu. Grant at his (Mr. Corbin’s) residence, which he did, and sub sequently accompanied the President to Boston, where he attended the Peace Jubi lee. On the way Mr. Gould spoke to Gen. Grant in favor of the appointment of Gen. Butterfield, and immediately after the Presi dent’s return the appointment of Gen. But terfield was made public. Some time In July Mr. Gould again met Gen. Grant at Mr. Corbin’s honse, by invi tation of Mr. Corbin. Mr. Gould asked him what would be the financial policy of the Government,and the President replied that, as he was anxious to secure high prices for farmers’ produce, po gold would be sold be fore the first of November, except the regu lar sales of two millions a month. MrJ ! Gould then asked how he would obtain means to purchase Government bonds, and bis answer was that the internal ravenne receipts were unexpectedly large, and the currency balances in the Treasury would be sufiieieut without selling gold. Mr. Gould further inquired how he expected to keep money easy, to which he replied that there were from twelve to fifteen million dollars going out in pensions, and that he intended to increase the fractional currency from thirty millions to fifty. GEN. GRANT PUTS UP A MARGIN OF SIO,OOO or $12,000. Shortly afterward, on the strength of this information, Mr. Gould purchased seventeen thousand dollars of Government bonds on the joint account qf himself, Mr. Corbin, Mr. Catherwood, and General Sat terfield. Mr; Corbin then informed Mr. Gould that he had received a margin of ten or twelve thousand dollars from Gen. Grant, with which to carry $300,000 of Government bonds, which were held for the account of Gen. Grant, as Corbin said, by Messrs. Stone, Nichols & Stone, Mi'. Cmitfilirolcers. Mr. Corbin said he was aaniotis to re turn flic money advanced by (ten-. Grant and to show him a profit on the transactions so far as it bad gone, and desired Mr. Gould to pay Stone, JEf leb.Qls & Stone one per cent, more Chan the market price, and then to carry the bonds for the account of Gen. Grant until they should reach 135, without having any margin or security. Mr. Gould agreed tp do this, reserving, of course, the right to sell the bonds at any time, if neces sary, to protect himself, apd on July 29 lie paid Stone, Nichols & Stone §364,500 for those bonds, which was SB,OOI j more than they were worth on that, day, and which represented profits that Mr. Gould’s firm anticipated would accrue under the Gov ernmental policy pi buying bonds. THE CLIQUE LOSS s§o,ooo. The transactions thus entered lqt.9 be tween Mr. Corbin and Jus. associates re sulted in an eventual loss of $50,000. The bonds were sold with ihe assent of Mr. Corbin. 41 OPERATIONS FOR A RISE.” -V Foreseeing from ttje shpri intefeat in gold, and the absence of Government sales, an advance in the price was inevita ble, Messrs. Gould and Corbin detromined to enter into a speculation fbr the advance. Mr. Gould visited Mr. Corbin daily, and sometimes twice a (lav, to consult with him on the subject, meeting there almost always Mr. Catherwood, and Gen. Butter field occasionally. Mr. Corbin gave Mr. Gould orders to buy several distinct lots of gold, besides taking a joint interest in the other transactions. Among Other lots, he directed Mr. Gould to purchase $500;- j 000 in gold at onetime, which be did at] the price of 132. 1 When the martet had advanced to 137, Gen.. Grant. This was the first intimation that Mr. Gould had rqoMyed that, th§ Pre- his Jagjßy, weifl iilenaßfc ejl«ll m riSMKet. Hffaßd thelgbkl ac cordingly, and gave Mr. Corbin a check for |25,000 on September'# 'Their interviews still continued to be very frequent, morn ing and evening, and At Several Mr. Cath erwood was present, i T Y.3C IIaIf)AM ;U7IIT fir secretary Boutwell rung in. In September they discovered that a number of bankers and brokers, who were supposed to be very influential with Secre tary Boutwell, had undertaken to bear the gold market on a large scale. After they Bad made enormous short sales, the com bination sent one of their number to escort Mr. Boutwell to this city, and arranged to Jive him a handsome dinner at the Union league Club, where they exerted their ut most influence to induce him to sell gold. Learning of this movement, and in order to checkmate it, Mr. Corbin procured from Grant a letter, to be delivered to Mr. well , peremptorily instructing Mm not to sett gold. THE PRESIDENT’S LETTER. This letter Mr. Corbin gave to General Butterfield, with instructions to deliver it tp Mr. Boutwell on his arrival; but various circumstances having excited Mr/Corbin’s suspicions that Mr. Butterfield was playing tjini false, he proposed to Mr. Gould that a safe messenger should be sent to General Grant with a letter from him which, as he Said, would settlp all of them, i This letter he read to Mi?. Gould, Who thereupon sent Win. O. Chapin to Washing ton, Pa., to deliver it. Mr. Corbin after wards received a letter from Mrs. General trant, in which she expressed great anx ty to have these speculations clo'sed. One reason she assigned for closing the matter pf the bonds was, that it was impossible to tell what effect Cuban affairs might have upon them. Another was that the President feared that he was influenced by these speculations, though he tried not to be. $150,000 PROFIT. When gold reached 141, Mr. Corbin in formed Mr. Gould that he had just sent a letter by mail to General Grant, in which he told him that he was out of all speculations, either in gold or in bonds, and that as an impartial observer he was decidedly of the opinion that it would be very dangerous to sell gold. He then said that at the present price of gold there would be about $150,000 profit; that he wished Mr. Gould to give, him a check lor that sum, deducting the $50,000 loss on the bonds. ANOTHER LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT. ! Mr. Gould replied that it was utterly im possible for Mr. Corbin to be entirely clear of the speculation until all parties interest ed had sold out; but consented to give him k check for SIOO,OOO on account, and he (Corbin) said he would immediately write a private letter to the President explaining his real position, the other letter being in tended for use in the Cabinet meeting. Some time before this Mr. Corbin told Mr. Gould that the brder had been actually issued from the Treasury Department for the sale of gold, and that General Grant had countermanded on receiving a letter from him relating to the subject. In conclusion, the World not inaptly says: “ If it had been Andrew Johnson instead of Ulysses Grant, to whom such facts had been brought so nearly home, bow the Re publican organs would have howled ! Wliat a clamor they would have raised! — Especially if President Johnson had been notoriously in the habit of accepting pro fuse and expensive gifts, and in return be stowing important offices upon their au thors. Had it been Johnson instead of Grant, nothing short of impeachment would have satisfied the Republicans; and if the evidence had been believed convic tion would doubtless have followed. We will not treat General Grant with such reckless want of candor as was practiced towards Mr. Johnson.” The Sun thinks: “ The part which General Butterfield has acted has been hardly less injurious to the President than that of Ms- Corbin. The circumstances under whicli General Butter field entered upon the duties of his high office were not creditable to the Adminis tration. His trust is one of the largest in the country, and at the same time it is of a strictly pecuniary chajacter. He stood before the world ,; promiiMiftTil tb#instiga tor ami collector of the largest donation ever made to General Grant. His instru mentality in this was considered by many persons creditable to his head and heart, l>dt It was inconsistent with duty on the part of the Administration, and a true sense of propriety on the part of General Butterfield, that he should afterward be appointed to the offiqe of Assistant Treas urer, and that ha should afciept atul hdld, that, office. And the worst apprehensions which could, be entertained in regard to isuch an unfit, appointment—or if not the worst, those sufficiently bad—are already realized. General Butterfield is found up ’to his eyes in speculations in'Government | bonds and gold. The elaborate statement made in his own behalt, in the New York Times, has so startled the community that the Evertipg Post ■ demands his retirement from office. We believe that journal speaks the,general sentiment of the community, and that General Butterfield will be obliged to resign.” The Journalof Commerce, which, through out, has leaned; Strongly towards thq Presi dent and his friends, is now moved to say : “ The public interests demand a search ing and unsparing investigation of all the facts of the affair. Those high officials, whose names have been freely coupled with damaging assertions of rumors, should be first to court a sitting inquiry into their alleged complicity with the gold ring.” DID MRS. GRANT SPECULATE ? The Iribune answers this query, thus : “ If Mrs. Grant did speculate, there is no evidence that she did so with the knowl edge and consent of her husband, or that she knew any more about the intentions of the Government than Was known by all the world. She would not have been the first woman who ever speculated in Wall street without her husband's knowledge.” Hulbert and the State Road.— There must be something in the repeated rumors of the retirement of Hulbert from the State Road. Os late the Atlanta Intelligencer has published a couple of articles in defense of his administration of this great work. These articles bear the marks of Hulbert’s handiwork, aud ! have beqp mailed to U3. We shall not republi|h them, for we did not go on the Press “Excursion, and are under no obligations to become his cham pion aud defender. When we go into an inquiry as to his official potion, we desire data and figures other than such as are fixed upon by him. From his own deeds and words, we believe him to be a thor oughly unscrupulous man, and for this reason, despite Ids eqeigy •- and activity, unlit to be entrusted with the direction and control of the property of the people qf the State. We know that the road has been to a large extent rnn in the interest of the miserable faction to whose hands Federal bayonets have consigned the State govern ment of Georgia. Hulbert may have man aged tlve road well and honestly. When convinped of this by the proper exhibit we shall say so. At present we do not believe that the people can be benefltted by any change Bullock may make «1 the superin tendency of the road, or that Urey can be worsted, even by the appointment of Blodgett in pldcc of Hulbert.

[From the Jackson Clarion, 19th- Excitemeni at Dry Grove, Mississippi At a recent meeting at Crystal Springs* a Radical (colored man); interfered in a qnarrel between two whites, and drew a pistol on one of them, a Conservative. Meeting him at Dry Grove the gentleman, Mr. Wells, on whom the pistol was drawn, inflicted punishment on his assailant with a whip. That night (Saturday) a body of forty or fifty armed Radicals (negroes) or ganized a mob and visited several bouses in the neighborhood searching for Wells, and telling the females of the families that if they didn’t reveal his whereabouts they would cat their throats and burn the houses ovsr their dead bodies. In their marauding expedition, we are informed they visited the house of an old and peacea ble citizen of tbe community, Mr. Collins, aged seventy years, breaking his skull. His son retaliated by shooting the mur derer, and was himself killed or badly wounded. The next day (Sunday) the mob con tinued its depredations, and among other outrages, sacked two stores at Dry Grove. In ti(e meantime the alarm had been given, aiid the white men of the neighbor hood collected for defense, and started to arrest the proceedings of the marauders.— They were ambushed by the Radicals, and flred into. . One of the number was killed and tvyo wounded. They killed two of the rioters, and the Others took to the woods. Between twelve and one o’clock yester day, a detachment of soldiers was sent to the woods. All of this might have been avoided if tbe Military Commander had promptly heeded the appeals of the citizens of Dry Grove, when a messenger came up Sunday night and made a statement to him of the condition of affairs. He was told that the be inifllMJn writing, and Waiufe Utt' to do Ibis, VP*) his return he was informed that General Ames had goije to bed, and that he could not see him until morning. Early in the morning he called upon the Military Commander and was told that the olßee Sours begafl at nine o’clock, and no business could or would be transacted until that hour ! Drilling SFHEAT.-Thff season approach ing for seeding down Wheat, we could urge the benefit, of drilling in the seed with a machnie, instead ofbroadcastsowing. Noth ing in agricultural practice, now-a-days, may be said to be better established than this, as every one kfiows who has ever tried it; and the reports last season in the De partment at Washington, from all sections of the country, showed the gain iu bushels !>cr acre to be in some sre.’ions 20 to 25 per cent, with the. drilled Wheat. Iti is Toil ml to he much less liable to be thrown out by frosts or Winter killed* and the free action of the atmosphere through the drills iu the field, the uniform depth at which it is cover ed, causing an evenness in the growth, to gether with at least,* ope scek less seed being required for sbwiffg, tfre all advan tages which belong to drilling, connected also with securing a better taking of the grass seed. Drills, as with other, farm machinery, have been greatly improved in the last few years, and are now constructed not only to sow wheat, oats,wye, etc., in given quan tities, but also to sow with it grass seed and fertilizers iu the rows, with the grain ; so that the soil beipg previously i well pre pared, the whole is finishedAt one operation, and the ground left in nice, smooth condi tion. The ridges left by the drill are level ed down by the frost of Winter, giving ad ditional proteoUqp to the tender roots of the grain and .grass,— T*ractical Farmer.
