Let us be Men
That is the motto. No matter what
may be our fate, or what may have
been, heretofore, our sufferings, let us
still cling to our manhood. That the
incarnate demons of the' North can’t
take from us. They may steal our prop
erty, devastate our fields, plunder our
houses and desolate this fair land of
ours, but they can’t go further. The
man they can’t molest. That still stands
erect, grand and powerful, amidst the
gederal wreck.
We confess there are yet some craven
spirits in the Mouth, who would “ crook
the pregnant hinges of the knee, that
thrift may follow fawning.” They
would sell their country and their birth
right for a mess of pottage. They
would betray their kindred and their
countrymen for filthy lucre! They
would turn us over to the “tender mer
cies” of our enemies and gloat over our
troubles and misfortunes. It lias been
done.' Men to the manor-born, reared
among us, and bone of our bone and
flesh of our flesh, have, in Lite hour of
misfortune, turned against us and hiss
ed /Oil the--hell-hounds of fanaticism.—
This is a humiliating confession, yet jus
tice and truth require us to make it.—
Can we not tell who, in every .communi
ty, is against us ? Let them be spotted
and branded ns too mean and detestible
for our companionship. Is there not
one man, at least, in this community
who, sharing the hospitality of a noble
people, was dog enough to turn against
them and to inflict upon them the most
serious and flagitious wrongs? And let
him budge and we will throw his name,
in big capitals, before this whole com
munity', Our people shall know who it
is that has wronged them, abused them,
and misrepresented them, by lies the
most s-ystematic and villainous. As y T et
we mention no name, nor any circum
stance which will give a clue to the mis
erable wretch ; but it is enough to know
that we are upon his track, and, by' the
grace of God, we intend to protect this
innocent people from bis venom and
vituperation.
Are we cowardly spaniels that we
must yield to every insult, simply be
cause we were overpowered and had to
succumb ? Is that our manhood ?
Never ! Then let us he men.
Orr if South Carolina.
This gentleman wo do not pretend to
comprehend. Ilis character and move
ments are, to us, inexplicable. But a
few weeks ago we find him hobnobbing
with Massachusetts at the Philadelphia
Convention and locking arms with one
of her delegates and marching into that
body. Now we are informed that he is
trying to get his Legislature together
for the purpose, as is alledged, to pass
the Constitutional Amendment. - bo,
take him all over, and he is an incompre
hensible enigma.
There is one thing, however, which
may be said of him, that he is an unscru
pulous politician, without the lofty in
stincts and endowments of political
honor and rectitude, and will do any
thing to promote his selfish aims and
projects. Representing, as he does
the great State of South Carolina, which
was foremost in the work of secession,
arid more clamorous than all the States
to destroy the Union, one wonhl have
thought he would have had more self
respect and more pride for his State and
people than to place himself in an atti
tude so wanting in manliness and digni
ty.
Can it be, by the way, that the naugh
ty old State has bad 'such a downright
good hasting that she is now willing
for this miserable abortion of a soil to
hand her back to her punishers as a
thoroughly corrected child, with all her
had ways subdued and her temper prop
erly adjusted and equipoised! We
used to think a good deal of the proud
old “ Palmetto,” and we should-dislike
very much, to see her cringing and
whining, like a whipped spaniel and
parting with her ancient character for
manhood and independence! That
such will he her sad end, no one doubts,
if she follows the lead of her present
Governor. Hold on to the willows, dear
‘‘Old Palmcito!”
Courage. —An exchange remarks
that some of the blackguards at Cape
Girardeau, who hadn’t the courage to
follow Gen. Frank Blair in the war,
had the courage to break the windows
in the hotel where he slept.
Civil Authority Entirely Re
stored ix South Cakouxia. —Gen.
Sickles, who commands the Military
Department of South Carolina, has
issued an order restoring to the civil
authorities in that State all the functions
that have hitherto been withheld from
them by the military. The order de
clares that “ Inasmuch as the State
[ Courts are now open to all persons, with
equal civil rights therein, without dis
tinction of color, all cases—civil and
criminal—in which the parties are civili
ans, must be turned over to the State
tribunals, and all civilians, now in milit
; ary custody will be surrendered to the
Sheriff of the district in which tiie al
leged offence was committed.” This
: order practically, annuls the authority
of the Freedman's Bureau in South
. Cardinia.
r,*a„Genernl Butler, in a. speech made
at. Hamilton, Ohio, the other day, dc
defended himself from the charge that
he caused the suffering of the Union
prisoners at Aiulersonvillo and else
where, by refusing to make an exchange
and threw the blame on General Grant.
Butler said that the United States held
00,000 Confederate prisoners, and the
Confederacy held only 30,000 Union
prisoners ; that his plan was to go on
exchanging man for man until he had
gotten all the Union prisoners, and
then to “ twist” the 30,000 remaining
Confederate prisoners until lie “got the
negroes out of the rebels.” We dont
know certainly what be ment by
“twisting” the Confederate prisoners,
but the term sounds very much like
some of the torturing devices of the
Spanish Inquisition, that we used to
read about.
Corrox Tax Unconstitutional. —
Revcrdy Johnson of Maryland, in re
ply loan inquiry from Hon Charles J.
Scott, of Wilks county, Alabama, gives
it as his opinion that the tax of three
cents, imposed by the act of Congress
is unconstitutional, and he believe
the Court will so decide. The Wilcox
dimes says the planters of that county
are concerting measures to have the
question tested in the Superior Court.
A Southern Invitation to the
Jews. —The Richmond Winy thus en
dorses the world renowned business
i sagacity of this long despised race: -
I “Terrible indeed must be the inclus-
I trial condition of Ireland, when the
j Israelites avoid it. Neither climate,
; distance, danger, nor other causes de
ters them from settling in a country
in which they can turn a penny.—
Where there are no Jews there is
no money to be made. Where there
are no ricefields there are no rice-birds;
where there are is no wild celery there
are no canvas -back ducks; where there
|is no trade there are no Jews. Wo
: hail their presence in such numbers
i in the Southern Statess as an auspicious
sign. Instead of diminishing here they
have probably increased. In this city
: numerous squares, almost entire streets,
are monopolized by them, and a soberer,
! steadier, and more industrious and law
! abiding class of population does not ex
ist. They interfere with no one, mind
j their own business, observe their religi
; ous ceremonies, and pursue their own
! peculiar enjoyments and indulgences.
|We hope they may never leave us.
| When they do, we shall begin to fear
that we are giving over to ruin—that
what a distinguished ex-Governor would
call “the doom of Devergoil’ awaits us.

Terrible Accident—A Man of
; Nerve.— The Aurora Herald says :
On Friday afternoon of last week, a
voting man named Reuben Covalt, em
ployed in the car manufacturing estab
lishment of the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy Railroad shops in tins city, mot
with a most frightful accident,, which
nearly terminated his life. A belt con
necting wijh the main shaft had become
separated, tlie broken portion revolving
upon the shaft. Young Cavolt imme
diately volunteeted to ascend a ladder
and disconnect the fragment of belt, and
in attempting to.looscn tethe beit wrap
ped around Ids right arm, drawing it
over the shaft, and entirely severing bis
arm between the elbow and shoulder. —
In this operation it was only by almost
superhuman exertion that he was pre
vented from being drawn entirely
through the narrow space above by
bracing bis left arm against the upper
floor, in which event lie would most
certainly have been killed. As it was,
he maintained his position for a minute
until the machinery was stopped, when
young Covalt coolly descended the lad
der, examined his mangled lioulder;
and was afterward borne by his fellow
workmen to the office of Dr Abner
Hard, on Broadway, where re-amputa
tion was performed. He was at last
j accounts cloiug well.

Republican.
President David nncl tlie Federal Spies,
Webster and Donnelly.
From a communication of the Rev.
John Dj Keiley, published in the Pe
tersburg Index of yesterday, we make
the following extracts —Webster a
native of Kentucky, was hung at Camp
Lee in 1802, and it has never been de
nied that he was a spy in the pay of tire
authorities at Washington. His osten
sible business in Richmond was block
ade-running and carrying letters to anil
fro across the lines. Tt was his practice
to submit all letters entrusted to him to
the Federal authorities. Mr. Iveiley
says of him :
The first time I ever saw him was on
the occasion of my visit to Parke. He
was heavily ironed, looking greatly dis
tressed and anxious, and at first seemed
unwilling to give me his confidence.
1 thought bis hesitancy may have been
caused by the sentinel in bis cell, who
was pacing the floor with his gun at
fixed bayonet on his shoulder. 1 get
this sentinel removed for a while, and,
after a little talk, Webster told me the
most favorable side of his case, men
tioned many tilings which it might be
unjust to the living to reveal at present;
and, upon the whole made a rather
favorable impression on my mind. It
ought to be mentioned here, that a
long-continued course of visitation of
prisons and prisoners had developed a
kind of (lower; —half feeling, half
thought, by which the shadowings of
truth and falsehood, in their statements,
were received l was convinced from
some evidence afforded me by Webster,
that there were many mitigating cir
cumstances in his case. That convic
tion was imparted and in a measure
partaken of 'by the authorities. The
execution was put off.
I obtained a passport to go through
our lines to Stafford and Louden comi
ties, to collect the evidence necessary
to verify Webster’s statements. Un
fortunately, I could not get through
the Federal lines; but the poor fellow
was reprieved from time to time and Jt
was only when I had to give up all
hope of getting to his home that he was
executed. Our people wondered why
this execution was put off from time to
time. Hero is the secret. This was
one of the few occasions in my life in
which it seemed tome desirable to be
long to that muddle-headed class, the
money-lovers and the moneyshavers. If I
had had money, then I could have man
aged to have gotten through the lines,
and might have been the ins'rument of
saving this man’s life. The authorities
gave me every opportunity. No more
so than our beloved President. I have
no doubt now—l had none then —that
Webster was, in a good measure, guilty
as charged; but the shocking stearness
and ramrodism which characterize court
martial excluded, in effect, every modi
fying peculiarity that lessened the onus
of crime. I had a voluminous lot of
paper about Webster, which was my
purpose to place in the bands of Bis
friends at the close of the war; but, alas !
the vandals tore them up and scattered
them, along with my other things, on
the 3d of April, 1865. Yet I do not
greatly blame these wicked, because
foolish men. Tlieir buisniess was ruin.
Os Donnelly Mr. Keiley says :
This young man, a native of New
York, but recently'from New Orleans,
was sentenced to be shot as a Federal
spy. In my visit to the jail, be crouch
ed off in a corner, and seemed desirous
of eluding me, but at last 1 got him to
tell me the particulars of his case, which
> were so favorable, that if properly sub
! staiUiated I felt certain that he would
be pardoned. I got a good-hearted
man, Mr. Heath, who now keeps a
grocery store up Halifax street, to go to
a station on the Norfolk railroad and
get me the affidavit of a magistrate and
liis wife, in the immediate vicinity ot
rhe Federal lines, ftmeliing the materi
al points in this cast', and had them
laid with a personal explanation, before
General Cooper, who promised me that
the case would be attended to. I had
previously tried all efforts with the au
| thorities here in vain. On a'Sunday
! morning, on visiting the jail 1 learned
| with dismay, that an officer had been
there a few minutes before, and had
j read the death warrant ot the prisoner,
1 who was to be shot next morning at
i the Fair Grounds. Before going to
i the church I sent this dispatch to the
! President: “A man is going to be
| shot here to morrow, as a spy, who is
innocent—Please forbid it.”
J. D. Keiley.
I received a message shortly after,
saying that Donnely shall not be shot
to-morrow nor any other day, by order
of Jeff. Davis.
On applying at the office of the com
manding general here, 1 learned that
they bad received a dispatch forbidding
the contemplated execution. In my
anxiety and baste I had forgotten to
mention the prisoner’s name hence the
tenor of this dispatch. The affidavits
were recovered and laid before the
President, and in due time the prisoner
was discharged. His aged and venera
i Lie mother sent me afterwards letters
| of thanks, and promises that she would
j pray for me as long as she lived,-
Precious beyond diamonds are these
letters and prayers.
The success attending these various
efforts, and a great many others of like
j kind, led me to blieve that the President
j of the United States would give afa
| vorable hearing to the case of one, who,
in supreme power, was himself so ac
cessablc toappeals oftliissort—one who
unlike these partially guilty parties, was
the idol of us all for his statliness puri
ty of character, and his massive strength
of intellect. I was not so successful as
I hoped to be, on account of the unset
tled state of the country. But I do
not’by any fneans despair. The suc
cess of our Northern brethren in their
elections may soften their hearts, mid
make them more willing to be merciful.
There is so much of intransic deception
in the mere nimbus of political parties,
for the sake of • affecting the votes of
the unintelligent and impulsive, that
1 have no doubt the medium portion
of all parties in this Christian land,
mean well and will try to do what is
right.
