Mr. Hteadman for some months was a resi dent of thjs city. A few weeks since he re moved to Athens, we believe. No matter, however, whete is his residence is, ho is a use ful and estimable member <J society. His praiseworthy liberality is a good examplq for ull to follow. We know of no p-ivate indi. viduul who has, eilher before this war began or since, bestowed such princely giPa upon char itable objects. Long may lie live to enjoy the high esteem of his fellow 'Hitizsns he so richly deserves, and (ho ample fortune which he still bus left. Would there were more men like Mr. Stead, man scattered throughout the Confederacy.— 'Then there would be let s want, less vice—so ciety be improved, and the virtuous would be spared the many scenes of degrading demoralisation which now meet their view on every side.

Mrs. Seago told them that, they were at liberty to search the house, provided they exhibited their authority. This they tailed to do, and after indulging in a few oaths, left.

Unprincipled men will doubtless perambu late the country under the pivleuctr ol hunting up deserters the more fully to'gratify lic it' plundering propensities, uud every one would do well to make such show tU-U* papers before admitting them in the house. The times demand extra vigilance on the part of those residing in tpo country.

From Bexsacvi.v. —The Montgomery Appeal learns from an officer from Mobile that on Sat urday last, a courier batl arrived at Pol lard fiom the vicinity of Pensacola, with dis patches to the effect that tho Yankees' were substituting troops ftoui other localities for the negro and other iu fan try troops at Pensacola. With these new importations uni their cavalry —the latter estimated at 3-,000 —it was pro posed to make a demonstration on Montgome ry Hi Jlarcb, when the condition the roads will admit it. Reports iu Montgomery weie that three lo comotives were landed at Pensacola which ware to be used in transportation. Tho latest on dit, and not the least, cumbustiblo, is, that the managers of the railroads between Mont gomery and Mobile, have received orders to have the track torn up, upon the first approach of the foe.

They are preparing tor, a demonstration upon some part of the country, and, perhaps, in dif ferent directions they intend to operate. At Morganza they Lave collected a large negro force, for what purpose we have not learned, but it is supposed they will make an effort to disturb the Trans-Mississippi country. the last ten days a considerable force has been collecting at Natchez, mostly it is said„by par ties recently out from there, of mounted negro troops. They are increasing tbeir foice at Eaton Rouge, too. Vicksbutg and Memphis serm to be the only points on the Lower Mis sissippi but the enemy have been concen trating troops at for the last week or so. They evidently intend some grand raid on au-exten ded scale in South Mississippi, probably with the View of reaching the Mobile and Ohio tail road at some point below Enterprise. The Yankees have been in Corinth but 'do not hqld the place. There is a great destruction of breadstuff's in north-east Mississippi. Unless something is done for the relief of the people there will be severe suffering among the citizens. Trains run no further north than Tupelo, anil it is thought that unless Geu. .Forrest’s com mand remains iu the locality that th i trains will not come so far. There is scarcely any coin along the line ol the railroad above here. Gen.

Maximilian I. has been visiting the State of Morelia, where he was received with every de monstration of respect and enthusiastic alle - giance. His Majesty, on approaching tho city of Morelia, halted his body guard ami advanc ed into the city alone, thus displaying his con tinence in the faithfulness of the people wjio had been represented as inimical to his govern ment. The city was illuminated and the peo ple and the authorities vied with each other in manifestations of devoted loyalty. Letters from the capital intimate that the Emperor intends soou to visit Vera Cruz, and thence o iuteyds to extend his trip by sea to Montery. The Republicans under Canales have been defeated by the Imperial troops under com mand of (Jen. Cartina. The engagement took plaee at GuorioCfe, and was conducted on the puitbf Gen.

Among the killed we regret to notice ihe name of Seuor Puente, an old member ot the editorial fraternity, and a gentlemen of?nhny estimable qualities. 'I he Monterey Monitor argues at length in fa vor ofdircct trade, between Houston and Browns ville, instead of Oamargo. Reports from Mexico state that tho Repub lican anUy, under Poi fine Dias, has gained a splendid victory over the imperialists, and that Ortega was besciging the Morelia, com pelling, bv this investment the imperialists to evacuate the whole State of Joleseo. Insur rectionary said to be greatly -on the increase. The most noteworthy act of Maxiinillian for some time.past has been the issuing of a de cree forming a-council of State The council consists of a President, eight couucellors and eight auditors. The duty of the council is to draft projects for regulations, decrees and laws, to form, a court of appeals-, to form itself a su premo court and to give m inions upon all questions laid before it by fne ministry.

While crowded with women mid children some fixed ammunition was exploded, destroying tho house and caus ing the death of tliieo hundred persons. Ihe sight was a most pitiable one, and beggars description. The ti lines immediately spread with Ihe greatest rap dily, and it is feared that a large portion of the city must have been destroyed. The fire was iu progress when tho Fedor .1 trot j a landed, and they immediately tendered assistance and protection to the firemen engag ed in staying the conflagration. The explosion is supposed t-* have been purely accidental, some boys having been seen ougaged in amusing rhems fives well shells. L was eoitainly not caused by any military order.

Cannot the evil be remedied ! —Selma Reporter Feb. 18. An Important Decision oy Secretary of Treasury'. —The following is the reply of the Hon. Secretary o* the Treasury, to an inquiry propounded by Hon. W. E. Smith, Represen tative from tho Second Congressional District of this State, in reference to soldiers’ tax on auctioneer’s commissions: Treasury Department, C. S A. [ Richmond. Dec 13th, I SG I j Mon. IF. 2? Smith, Home of Representatives: Dear Sir: —I bad the honor to receive your letter of tbe22d nit. inquiring if the soldiers’ tax of ‘‘one lifth the present tax,” was to be levied on auctioneer’d commissions, from the sales made before the pas age of the Act im posing the soldiers’ tax. 1 have the honor to state, in reply, that the point being involved in some doubt, it whs .sub mitted to the Attorney General. His decision D, that the law could not have a retro-active operation, and applies only to the commis sions on sales made subsequent to tho passage of the Act. The Tax Collector will be immediately in structed accordingly. • - Very Respectfully, G. A. Tueniiolm, . Secretary of Treasury. Volunteer Troop j for the war —ln the Confederate House of R- pvesentatives, on the 10th ult, Mr Henry, of Tennessee. intioduced' a bill to receive volunteer troops lor tho war. The bill provides: That all persons uot now in the service, and those who are absent without leave, shall he anthemed within three months cast, of the Mississippi river, and within six "months west of that river, to form themselves into volun teer organizations of companies, elect their company officers and tender their service to tho President of the Confederate Stales as vol unteer- tioaps during the war. Such organiza tions shall conform to existing laws, anil, when tendered to the President, shall be organized into battalions and regiments, and shall be subject to all the regulations, which govern the army of the Confederate States. Mr. Henry said he entertained Do feeling of opposition towards thu conscript law, and this bill had been introduced in no such spirit But he was convinced by information derived fsorn a number of trustworthy sources, that a measure such as this would add tons of thous ands of soldiers to our armies who would nev er enter the service as conscripts. The resolution was referred to the Military Committee, A Gkm at EuiiOß. Oa« sad, unpardonable error or negligence on the part of the govern ment, has been the withholding from tin; sol diers of the army, their just remuneration for valiant service in the field.* We pen these re marks in no demagogue spirit, merely to win the applause of one class of the country at the expense of another in power, uo matter bow ibrelict in duty the latter, or how deserving and patient the former. We have witnessed many instances of in justice to the BoUlier-citizen, from the appa rent, indifference of the government or the carelessness of its officials in this respect. We are not in a position to know the causes which may exist for the temporary wilhhold ingof pay, but we know this one fact—which is surely enough— tout lbe men are kept out of their monthly wages longer than is usual with governments that conduct wars, and longer than 13 absolutely necessary. These men ought to be paid immediately. Wo con versed with one au hour since, who had not received his pay for twelve months! Such an evil as this is more demoralizing tha'n a dozen disastrous Franklins or Nushvilks, and and -mandsiastaut remedy. —Montgomery Mail. Wo at (jEoi ora has bonk for tiib Cau.-f' Lately the House ot Representatives called on the War Depattment to furnish that body with the number of men each State lias put into the service, and was informed in reply, that Ihe furnishing of the desired infoimation would iuvo’ve such au amount of labor as lo render it im practicable. It" this be f rue, it shows a grors neglect of duty on the part of tne War Department in keeping its records. The business of that De pavtm.-nt should he so kept that it would at any time be an easy matter to refer to such information. We give it as our opinion that Georgia has contributed more men .and means in carrying on this war than any other State, for the fol lowing reasons : The report ot the Commis sioners of Taxes shows that she pays largely more taxes than any other State, and nearly double the taxes of any State, except Virginia; and we have before us a letter from a member of Congress, which states that the records in Richmond show that Georgia ha.s lost more men in the war than any other State iu the Confederacy. —Macon Confederacy \ f Taxes ix Florida. -’1 be Governor cf Florida has notified tax assessors aad collectors in that State that he shall hereafter inquire all taxes due to be paid iu the treasury notes of the State, or in specie. This requirement, he says, ‘•is made in compliaye with existing laws, which it is necessary should be. observed.” Ileierring to Uij order the Floridian says We are not clear as to the authority tor this mea sure, and also doubt the policy of it at this t ; me. It will work great hardships to many persons who are in the army and have taxes to pay, and will also have' a tendency to still fur ther depreciate the Confederate currency.” If Florida has such laws upon her statute' books, of course Gov. Milton cannot do otherwise than enforce them, but that they shou’d be at once so modified as to embrace the national currency, no oae can doubt, and we are astonished it has not been done ere this. There can be no mis take as to the effect the enforcement ot such laws will have upon the credit of Mr. Tren hoim's currency. Public Opinion Disregarded. —We learn by gentlemen direct from Richmond, that it was conceded in that city there was no probability that Gen. Johnston would brrrestorcd to com mand. The almost unanimous expression of Cougre-s, a.nd the wishes of the people and the artsy, failed to produce the least impres sion on the Administration.— Montgomery Ap peal. The Washington Chronicle states that Gen. Wm. E. Anderson, of the Florida State troops, who was captured in the raid on Marianna, has been sent to Fort Warren, Boston, together with most of the officers captured at Fort Mor gan, Mobile. •-iV TELEGRAPH?. NORTHERN NEWS. Northern papers contain copious extracts from Southern and Eastern papers ou the events of the peace c uference. The general conclusion is that there is no prospect of peace hxeept through continued war. The New York gold market is buoyant ui> dor a conviction of protracted war. A prominent Democratic member of tho Federal Congress stated, on the passage of the slavery amendment to the Constitution, that lie believed this legislation would cost the country half a million lives and a thousand million dollars in addition to tho losses and expenditures already sustained. It closed the last door to h movable surrender for the South, and she would continue to fight to the bitter end. ” - The prisoners captured on the Florida have been released, and placed on a British steam er. The Army of the Potomac is in raotton, and gie.it objects are intended to be acconmltslied A -great battle is expected hourly. The New York Times argues tbai if the Ten nessee electoral vote is not * received, Andrew Johnson is not constitutionally Vice President, Tennessee notheingin the Union. Schofield has been assigned to the coommand of the Department of North Carolina, Ord to Virginia and Palmer to Kentucky* Havana advices state that GwiiV is !n that city enrouto for Europe, having failed with Maximillian. A large force of Yankees .is reported at Memphis; destination unknown. IYIESB IIHPA'IC!! The annexed news has beemprepared by tho Agent of the Associated Press aad'oflicially ap proved : Sherman’s force consists of about fifty ihons and men . He is advancing ou Charlotte rap idly—destroyiug effectually the railroads and everything along his route, leaving a wide track of desolation. It is now thought it is his intention to reach Greensboro if possible, and destroy the Danville railroad." His policy appears to be to avoid all fighting and uot to endeavor to cap lure fortified places. The wagon train.-qof the Army of Tennessee are arriving and rendezvousing at Washington Ga. It is reported that Columbia was occupied by the enemy for a short time. Oa Sunday, F%b. 19th, the endlny confronted a portion of Cheaiham’s corps, two miles from Newbury Court House. The enemy’s force on ly made a strong feint on the place, simply to cover operations on Columbia. They re ired rapidly on Sunday night and burned (he bridge at Alston. The enemy destroyed the railroad and thgn pushed on to join the main body which was marching towards Charlotte rapidly. The Railroad between Charleston and Branchville has not been molested by the Fed erate. The South Carolina Railroad between this city and Branchville is being repaired. The Wilmington Railroad beyond the Wa teree river has not been disturbed. . Orangeburg was only partially destroy ed. The trestlework and bridges on Ihe South Carolina Hoads North and West ot Branch ville are destroyed. A gentleman who left Newberry Court House on Tuesday morning last brings tire in formation that our forces fell back from Co lumbia, on Thursday, last, and the enemy en tered*it on Friday. Out forces fell bade in the direclion of Winnsboro, and at last accounts tho enemy was moving in that direction from Columbia. What damage the Federals did to Columbia has not been ascertained. A correspondent writes us that the last heard from the enemy in Washington, Ga., was that they were at Newberry Court House ou the Greenville railroad, on their way •to Abbe ville, It is also stated by parties just from beyond Columbia that the bridge and trestle work over the Congaree this side of Kingsville had burned. It is said that nearly all cf ihe stores had been removed from Columbia. The Treasury Department , with its employ ees had been sent to Charlotte, according to ono report. According to another it has been sent to Greenville. It is stated Sherman has destroyed the bridge over the Wateree. Charleston is reliably reported to have been evacuated four days .ago under the supervision of Gen. Beaureguard. All public property was destroyed. Sherman’s left wing crossed the Saluda riv er at Alston, the junction of the Spartanburg and Greenville Railroads, destroying the bridge at that point. The advance guard was near Chester C. IT. Passengers go to Richmond now by way of Washington, Ga. The enemy’s right wing under Foster, was in the vicinity, and probably now occupy Charleston. The enemy are destroying everything in their route. They have desolated Barnwell District. The last straggling parties in squads of two to fifteen, passed along between the (Uh and 12th, burning nearly every line mansion on and near the Savannah river. Most of the Greenville road from Alston to Columbia, a distance of twenty five miles, is nearly destroyed. It 13 said that the enemy got possession of Kingsville before they advanced on Colum bia. There were ■ throe severe fights between Branckville and Columbia. Some fifteen prisoners were brought into Newberry on Saturday ; not much information could be gained irom them. . All the stoves in Columbia, it is stated, were emptied.of tfcc-ir contents by the residents and soldiers before tire enemy entered the place,. The public stores have ail been removed from Newberry. . -T Tl. «£» ■ Looses of South Carolina. —The following is a recapitulation of the whole less of South Carolina, billed in battles, disease or accident, since the war begun.
