AMONG THE LACRELB. ' BT HENRY W. LONGFELLOW. The sunset’* gorgeous dye* Paled slowly from the skies, * . And the clear heaven was waiting for the stars, A a side by side we strayed A down a sylvan glade. And found our pathway crossed by rustic bars. Beyond the barrier lay A green and tempting way, Arched with fair laurel trees, abloom and tall — Their cups of tender snow Touched with a rosy glow, And warm sweet shadows trembling over all. The chestnuts sung and sighed. The solemn oaks replied, And distant pine trees crooned in slumberous tones ; While music low and clear Gushed from the darkness near W here a shy brook went tinkling oyer stones ■ Foft messes, damp and sweet, Allured our waiting leet, And brambles veiled their thorns with treach erous bloom ; While tiny (leeks of flowers, Which own no name of ours, Added their mite of beauty and perfume. And bark ! a hidden bird To sudden utterance stirred, As by a gushing love too great to bear With voiceless silence long— Burst into passionate song, Filling with bis sweet trouble all the air. Then one, whose eager soul Gould brook no slight control, oaid, “Get us thread this pleasant path, dear friend— If thus tho way can be So beautiful to see How ranch more beautiful must be tho end ! “Follow I this solitude May shrine the hannted wood, Storied so sweetly in romance and rhyme— Secure from human ill, And rarely peopled still By Fauns and Dryads of the olden time. “A spot of hallowed ground By mortal yet unsound, Sacred to nymph and sylvan deity,— Wheie lolled Apollo glides, And bashful Daphne hnleH Safe in tho shelter Os her laurel-trees !’’ “Forbear !” the other cried— “U, leave the way untried ! Those joys nre sweetest which we only guess, And the Impatient soul, '1 hat seeks to grasp the whole, Defeats itself by its own eagerness, “Let us not rudely shake The dew drop from the brake Fringing the borders of this haunted dell ; And the delights which are— The present and tho tar Lose half their charm by being known too well! “And ho mistakes who tries To search all mysteries— Who leaves no cup undrained, no path uns tracked ; Who seeks to know too much: Brushes with eager touch The bloom of Fancy from the brier of Fact. “Keep one fair myth aloof, From liurd anil actual proof; Preserve some dear delusions as they seem, Wince the reality, How bright soe’r it lie,! Shows dull and cold beside our marvelous dream. “Leave this white page unscorcd, This rare realm unexplored, And let dear Fancy roam there as she will; Whutever page we turn, However much we learn, Let there be something left to dream of still. Wherefore, for aught we know, The golden apples grow In the green vale to which that pathway leads ; The spirits of the wood Wtill haunt its solitude, And Pan sits piping there among the reeds ! “ttrbcl War IJerk’s l»iarj.” A REBEL WAR CLERK’S DIARY AT THE COM FEDERATE CAPITAL. By J. B. Jones, Cleik in tho War Department of the Coaled orate States Government, author of “Wild Western Scenes, &c ; &c. ‘2 vole. Philadel phia: J. It. Lippincott & Cos. Mr. Jones, as we learn Iroin this record, was formerly editor of the Southern Monitor, which was published for sumo time at I’hiladelpbin. He was hiiuselt a Southerner, and ho made his uaper tho medium for disseminating such ex treme views that he provoked tho hostility of the loyal citizens of Philadelphia. Having rho sagacity to lur»ste that the storm which had been gathering was about to burst, Mr. Jones precipitately started for the South, via Wash ington, early one morning, just belore the bom bardment ot Sumter, leaving his family to pack up and follow at their leisute. lie took his de parture, as the result proved, not a day too soon. Arriving at Richmond, April 12, the day of tho bombardment of Sumter, he had on ly been ihero tour days when he got news that a mob numbering “ten thousand’’ had visited the olliee ot tho Southern Monitor, and alter displaying a rope with which they intended to hang tiiu fugitive editor, sacked the concern ami smashed the signboards outside (he build ing, wearing the splinters away in their hats as trophies. Mr. Jones made tho following entry in his diary upon tlie evening of April 12. Describ ing a scene he witnessed in the apartments ol Gov. Wise he says : A test question indicative of the purpose of the Convention to adjourn without action had that day beeu carried by a decided majority. The testimony lately taken before the Re construction Committee establishes the tact that President Liucolu ottered to order the evacuation of Fort Sumter if the Virginia Slate Convention would adjourn .sine die. ami without passing tho Secession Ordinance The tact stated by Mr. Jones shows olearly that the compromise offered would have beeu ac cepted by the Convention bad it beeu tiually tendered. Why it was held back by the oue empowered to submit it time wilt undoubtedly develop. Under date of April 26, the following record is made: K.v President Tyler and Vice President Ste phens are negotiating a treaty which is to ally Virginia to the Confederate States. This paragraph for instance, more thau con firms all that lias been affirmed regarding the critical condition iu which the rebels were just previous lo the battle ot Bull Run : June 18, IStii —We dare not make known the condition ot the army—tho awiul tact which may be stated here—and will not be kuow until alter years—that we have not enougu ammunition at Manassas to fight a bat tle. I’bero are not pureussiju caps euough iu our army tor a serious skirmish. Then, again, this entry sheds light upon th cause of tho lamentable repulse our lorces sus taiued at Ball’s Bluff : Oct 20.—A lady, just from Washington, after striving in vain u> procure au interview with the Secretary of War, left with me the programme of the enemy's contemplated move meats. Bhe was present with the family of Gen Dix at a party, and heard their purposess disclosed. They meditate au advance im. mediately, with 200,000 men. Tbe head ot Banks’ column is to cross near Leesburg, and, when over, a movement upon our flank is in. tended horn the vicinity of Arlington Heights. This is truly a formidable enterprise, if true. We have not 70.000 effective men in Northern Virginia. The lady is in earnest, aud remains here. 1 wrote down the above information and sent it to tbe President*, aud understood that dispatches were transmitted immediately to Gen. Johnsou, by telegraph. Two days later Mr. Jones tells us that tbe attempt to cross the Potomac was made "in accordance with the programme furnished by the lady troui Washington,” and how it ended we all know. Jan' 27, 1862 —What genius! What au dacity in Lee! He has absolutely taken the greater portion of his army to the north side of the Chickahominy, leaviug McClellan's centre and left wing ou the south side, with appar ently easy access (o the city This is -(to the invaders) impenetrable strategy. The enemy believes Lee’s main tore«s are here, and will never thick of advancing We have so com pletely closed the avenms of intelligence, that theeuemy has not been able to get the slight est intimation ot our strength or tbe disposition of our forces. V e also have repeated glimpses of the dif ficulties witn which Ue had to contend, and oi tbe straits to which he was repeatedly re duced, as follows: * Sept 1862—A letter was received from Gen Lee. to-day, dated Martinsburg, giving a sad account of the army. It seems that with out additional power given the President by Congiess to enforce discipline, he fears the army will melt away, lie suggests that incom petent officers be reduced to 'the ranks, and that more stringent regulations be adopted. He 1 in no condition to advance now, since r o many thousands ot In.-, mea ate permitted to wanner away. We shall be afflicted with fresh invasions— and-tbat, if nothing else, may cause the straggler* to return. Ad ti e paragraph jnst quoted was written immtdla'ely ><*• >' 'be rebel campaign into Ma ryland. amt following the battle of Antietam. when I'. sident Lincoln had such hard vo r k to get McClellan to leave his camp and cross the Potomac. And ail through the war these same and ffi ultieg hampered Lee. Nov. 13, 1683. Gen. Lee dispatched the I’r. si dm: yest-ntay, as foi ows : '■ Okamjb C H.’ Nov. 12—For the last five day wo have received three pounds of corn per tune, Rom Richmond, per dry.

R. g. ten.” On the n k k ot which the President endorsed : " Eave the forage sent up in preference to anything el.-e. The necessity is to absolute as to call ior every possible exertion. . Jefferson Davis.” A curious fact regarding the siege of Vicks burg ia here noted : kept. 'J, 1863. Ordinance officer J. Brice transmitted to the Secretary to-day, through the Oidinance Bureau, an efii .ial account of the ammunition, <fcc», at Vicksburg during the siege and at the evacuation. Much ammuni lion Was destroyed on tbe battle-field, by or der or Gen. Pemberton, to keep it, as was al leged, from tailing into the bauds ot tbe ene my, Duriug the siege he got 250,000 percus sion caps fiom Gen. Johnston’s scouts, and 150.000 from the enemy's pickes, for a consider* alum. There was abundance of powder, 'the lollowing entries serve to show where the responsibility lor liaod’s campaign in Ten ntssee belonged. March, 17, 1864.—Letters from Lieut Gen. Hood to the President, Gen. Bragg and the Secretary of War, give a cheering account of Gen. Johnston’s airay at Daiton. The men aie well fed and welt clothed- They are in high spirits, “and eager foi the fray.’’ The number is 40,000. Gen, Hood urges, most elo quently, the junction ot Polk’s and Loring’s troops wilh tnese, making some 00,000—Grant having 50,000 —and then uniting with Loug street’sarmy, perhaps 20,000 more, and get ting i : the rear of the enemy. Hb says this would be certain to drive Grant out of Ten netseu and Kentucky, and probably end the war. But it we lie still, Grant will eventual ly accumulate overwhelming numbers, und penetrate farther ; and it he beats us, it would be difficult to rally again lor another stand, so despondent would the people become. Gee. Hood depreciates another invasion of Pennsylvania, which would be sure to result mileleat. He is decided in bis conviction that tbe best policy is to take the initative, and drive the enemy out of Tennessee and Kentucky, which could be accomplished to a certainty. Jan, 5, 1805.—The President sends, “for his information,’’ to the Secretary of War, a letter lrorn Gen. Beauregard, dated at Augusta, Ga., Dec. 0, 1804, iu relation to Gen. Sherman’s movement eastward, and Gen. Hood’s Middle Tennessee campaign. It appears lrorn General Beauiegard’s letter to the President that he (Gen. Beauregard) had control of everything. He says he did not countermand Gen, Hood’s campaign, because bhennan had 275 miles the start, aud the roads were impracticable in Northern Georgia and Alabama. But he tele graphed llie Uoveruots of Alabama, Georgia, Ac., to concentrate troops rapidly in Sherman’s bout, ordered a brigade of cavalry from Hood to Wheeler, Ac., and supposed some 30,000 men could be collected lo oppose Sherman’s march and destroy him. He, computed Sher man’s strength at 36,000 of all arms. The re sult shows how much he was mistaken. He will be held accountable for all the disasters. Alas lor Beauregard ! Bragg only played the part ot chronicler ot tho sail events from Au gus:a. Vet the President cannot publish this tetter ot Beauiegard’s, and the country will still fix upon him the responsibility aud the odium. Gen. Beauregard is still in front of Sherman, with inadequate forces, and may again he responsible lor additional calamities.’’ These passages cover the most interesting and important revelations Mr. Jones has to make regarding military operations. Tfie fact that he knew no more is perhaps attributable to his having been permitted to see the Inside of very few important documents, or to his being compelled to judge of the contents from the indorsements they bore. * While the war was in progress, much curi osity was felt regarding tho jealousy between President Davis aud Gen. Beauregard. The lollowiug paragraphs give a tolerably cloar idea ot the origin aud growth of this curious difficulty : Aug. 11, 1861.—There iB a whisper that someiuiug like a rupture has occurred be tween the President aud Beauregard, and 1 am uurazad to learn that Mr. Benjamin is in imical to Gen. Beauregard. 1 know nothing ot the louudatiouj lor the report ; but it is said that Beauregard was eager to pass with his army into Maryland, immediately alter tbe battle, aud was prevented. It is now quite apparent, from developments, that a small loice would have sufficed to take Washington a lew days or weeks alter the buttle. But was Beauregard aware of the fact before tbe oppor tunity ceased to exist ? It is too lute now ! November 2,1861. —1 t has culminated. Mr. Benjamin's quarrel with Beauregard is openly avowed, Mr. Benjamin spoke to me about it to-duv, aud convinced me at tho time that General Beauregard was really in the wrong. He said the General had sent in his report, of the battle ot Mauassas, iu which he stated that he had submitted a plan to the depart ment for the invasion ot Maryland ; and no such plan having been received, as Mr. Benja min says, aud the matter being foreign to the business in hand, the department had seen proper to withhold the report from publica tion. Bat this did not concern him, Mr. Benjamin, because he was not the Secretary of War when the alleged plan had been sent to Richmond. But his difference with the General grew out of an attempt of the latter to organize troops aud confer commands without tho sanction of the department. He had re* buked the General, ne said, and then the General had appealed to the President, who sustained the Secretary. Mr. Banjamin 6aid that General Beauregard had ascertained who was strongest with the President. June 11, 1862.—General Beauregard is doubly doomed. A lew weeks ago, when the blackness of midnight brooded over our cause, there were some intimations, I kuow not wheth er they were well founded, that certain high functionaries were making arrangements for a flight to France ; and General Beauregard getting intimation of an order to move certain sums in bullion iu the custody of au Assistant Treasurer in his military department, forbid its departure until he could be certain that it was not destined to leave the Confederacy. 1 have not learned its ultimate destination ; but the victory ot tho Seven Pines intervening, General Beauregard has been relieved of his command “on sick leive.’ - But I know that his army is to be commanded permanently by General Bragg. There are charges against Beauregard. It is said the Yankee army might have been annihilated at. Bhiloh, it Beauregard had fought a little longer. Here are one or two voluntary confes sions : Jan. 25, 1863. —Gen. Rams has invented a new primer lor shell, which will explode from the slighest pressure The shell is buried just beneath the surface of the earth, aud explodes when a horse or man treads upon it. He says he would not use such a. weapon in ordinary warfare ; but has no scruples in resorting to any means of defence agaiust an army of Aboii tionists, invading our country for the purpose avowed, extermination He tried a few shell on the Peninsula last Spring, aud the explosion of only four sufficed to arrest the army of in vaders, and compelled them to change their line of March. March 2, IS63.—Last night, when it was supposed probable that the prison: is ot war at tbe Libby might attempt to bleak out, Gen. Winder ordered that a large amount of powder be placed under the building, wuh instructions to blow them ufl, if the attempt was made. He was pursuaded. however, to consult the Secretary of War fit,t, and get his approba tion. The Secretary would give no such order, hut said the prisoners must not be permitted to escape tinder any circumstances, which was considered s motion enough. Capt. Obtained an order lor and procured several hundred pounds ot gnupowder. which were placed in readiness. Whether the piisoners were advised of this I kuow not ; but I told Capt. it would not bejusiifiable to spring snob a miue iu the absence of their knowledge ot the fate awaiting them, iu the event ot their attempt to break out—because such prisoners are not to be Coudetned tor striving to regain their liberty. ludeed. it is the duty of a pris oner of war to escape if he can. Here ik a minute which ve recommend to the consideration ot the Committee now inves tigating the tacts upon which was based the proclamation charging Jeff. Davis with com plicity in the assassination of Mr. Lincoln : August 26, 1863 —U. C. . a mad private and Northern man, in a Georgia Regiment, w: ites to the President, proposing to take some 300 to 500 men of resolution and assassinate the leading publie men of the United States— th» war abolitionists. I suppose. The Presi dent referred the paper, without notice to the Secretary of War. Perhaps an inspection of Mr. Jones' manu script would reveal the identity of this “mad private and Northern in m” whose psisonality is thus concealed. Then here is au entry re ferring pt' to the Canadian raids, and estihlishing the complicity of Mr. Thompson Auij'ut 4, 1864. A letter to the Secretary from J. , in Canada (per Captain Hints,) was ict vtd to-day. He gays the werk will n t prooatdy begin before the middle of August. 1 know not what sort of work. But he says much caution is tieee.-sary. I suppose it to he tbe destruction of the Federal army depots, Ac., in the United Slates. Mr. Valiandigham receives this “first rate notice Juiut 22,1863. —To—day I saw the memoran dum oi Mr. Outd, of the conversation held with Mr. V.ilandigbam, lor file in the archives. He says il we can only hold out this year that tbe peace pariy of the North Would sweep the Linco.n dynasty cut ot political existence. He seems to have thought that our cai se wvs sink ing, and feared we would submit, which would, of course, be ruinous to his party ! But he ad vises strongly against any invasion of Pennsyl vania, for that would unite all patties at the North, and so strengthen Lincoln’s hands that lie would be able to crush ail opposition, and trample upon the constitutional rights of the people. Mr. Valiandigham said nothiEg to indicate that either he or the party had any othjjr idea than that the Union would be reconstructed un. der Democratic rule. Tbe President indorsed, with his own pen, on this document, that, in regard to invasion of the North, experience proved the contrary of what Mr. Valiandigham asserted But Mr. Valiandigham is for restor ing the UDion, amicably, of comse, and it it can not be so done, then possibly he is in fa vor of recognizing our independence. He says any reconsttucticn which is not voluntary on our part would soon be followed by another separation, and a wotse war than the present one. Here is another political entry : March 7, 1865.—A letter was received yes terday from , belma, accusing the Assist ant Secretary of War, Judge Campbell, his brother-in-law, Judge Goldthwait, aud Judge Paisons, of Alabama, with disloyalty, and says Judge Campbell is about to issue passports lor delegates to go to the Chicago Convention soon to assemble, Ac., Ac. He says Judge Camp bell is the P’ocche of the South. The letter is dated August 23, 18G4, and tho President note sends it to the S.cretary “for his information ” Here are some specimens of the personalities with which the diary is spiced : June 3, 1864 —Mr. Hunter, being short and fat, rolls about like a pumpkin. He is every where, seeking gtidings from the field. It is said the enemy, at last, has visited his great estate in Eisex county; but he’ll escape loss by “hook or by crook,’’ He has made enor mously by his crops and his mills; neverthe less, he would sacrifice all for the Presidency— and independence. June 13.—At the conclave of dignitaries, Hunter, Wigtall and Secretary Seddon, yester day, it is reported that when Mr. Seddon ex plained Grant’s zigzag fortifications, Senaior Hunter exclaimed he was afraid we n -ver could beat him; when i-enalor Wigfall said nothing was easier—the President would put the old folks and children to praying at 6 o’clock A. M. Now il any one were to tell these things to the President he would not believe him. Sept. 22.—“ When the cat s away, tho mice will play;’’ is an old saying, and a true one. I saw a note of invitation to-day from Secretary Mailory to Secretary Ssddon, inviting him to his house at 5 P. M. to partake of “pea soup’’ with Secretaiy Trenholm. His “pea soup” will be oysters and champagne, and every other delicacy relished by epicures, Mr. Mallory’s red face, and his plethoric body indicate the highest living; and his party will enjoy the dinner while so many ot our brave men are languishing with wounds, or pining in cruel captivity. Nay, they may feast, possibly, while tbe very pillais ot tho Government are crumbling under the blows of the enemy, Tbe jealou ties between the State Executives and the authorities at Richmond were carefully watched, and noted in the North during the war, but such entries as these show that these controversies some times become more acrimonious than wes generally supposed : Sept 3, 1863.—G0v. Jos. E. Brown .tele graphs that the men [militia] in Georgia can not be compelled to leave the State ; but if the Government will send them 5,060 arms, he thinks he can persuade them to march out of it, provided he may name a commander. The President indorses on this : “If they are militia, I have no power to appoint ; if C." S. troops, I have no power to delegate the au thority to appoint.” Dec. 25, 1863 —No war news to-day. But a letter, an impassioned one, from Gov. Vance, complains of outrages perpetrated by detached bfidies of Confederate States cavalry, in cer tain counties, as being worse than any of the of Egypt ; and says that if any such scourge had been sent upon the land, the children of Israel would not have been follow ed to the Red Sea. In shbrt, he informs the Secretary of War, if no other remedy be .ap plied, he will collect his militia and levy war against the Confederate States troops! I placed that letter on the Secretary’s table for his Christmas dinner. As I came out, I met Mr. Hunter, President of the Senate, to whom I mentioned the’subject. He said phlegmati cally, that many iu North Carolina were “proue to act iu opposition to the Confederate Slate? Government.” Not the least amusing part of the diary are the passages scattered through it, showing to wliat sad straits the writer was now and then reduced for his supplies of food and clothing. Here are some of these records, beginning with tho latter part of 1863 and. running through 1864 : * Nov —My wife tc-day presented me with an excellent undershirt, made of one of her dilapi dated petticoats. Anew shirt would cost S3O. Common brown cotton (and in a cotton coun try !) sells fob $3 per yaid. Jan. 7.—A doz a n china cups and saucers sold at auction to-day for SI6Q. Col. Preston, Conscription Bureau, several members of the Cabinet, &c., ieasted at a cost of $2,000. It is said that tbe Jack was turned up and Jeff, turned down in a witticism, and smiles at nem con. But I dou-’t believe that. -Feb. 21.—1 know my ribs stick out, being covered by skin only, for the want of sufficient food; and this is the case with many thousands of non-producers, while there is enough for all, if it were equally divided. March 18.—My daughter’s cat is staggering to day, for want of animal food. Sometimes I fancy I stagger myself. We do not average two ounces of meat daily, and soma do not get any for several days together. March 21.—The following conversation took place yesterday between the President and some young ladies of his acquaintance, with whom he promenaded : Miss—Do yon think they will liko to return to the field ? President—lt may seem hard ; hut even those boys (pointing to .some youths around the monument twelve or fifteen yeats old) will have their trial. Miss.—But how shall the army be fed ? President —I don't see why rats, if fat, are not as good as squrrel. Our men did Vat mule meat at Vicksburg ; but it would be an ex pensive luxury now. After this the President fell into a grave mood, and some remark about recognition caused him to say twice : “We have no friends abroad!"— Netc York limes. Industry. Nature instructs you to be active. The brOok runs busily over the pebbles and never stays. The streams hasten to join the large river, and the river to meet the sea. Countless seeds are quickeninginto life, and strike their roots down' ward. Presently the plant burst from the earth —it puts forth its tender leaves and its young blossoms —the flowers in every variety of color and fragrance, are spread in the sunbeam. The grain appears like a soft green mantle over the field of the laborer —it puts forth ‘‘first thii blade —then the ear—then the ripe corn in the ear ” The vine reaches out its tendrils like hands, and takes hold of some prop, whereon to hang its clusters- The trees are busy in perfecting the fruit for man. The spider throws her giit tering thread from shrub to shrub, and runs to and from the bridge of her own building.

Asa part of the history of this inquisition we pres;nt the te s t mony of Gov. Sharkey, pf Mississippi. It will te s**en that Gey. Sfcarkey doe< not endorse the efficiency of the Fi*edmen s Bureau, or tbe necessity of other pressure to | secure order and loyalty. TESTIMONY OF WILLIAM L. SHARKEY. Governor William L. Sharkey, examined by Mr. Boutweli : I will state, in general terms, that when I went out to Mississippi as Provi sional Governor, av. ry large majority. of the j people—l do not know but fifty to one—were perfectly reconciled to the condition of things. I and very anxious to be restored to their for- i mer position in the Union : 1 think they were sincerely and honestly so : tfiat was the cur rent sentiment, beyond all doubt, at that time; the rebel military leaders were perfectly satis fied, and I do not kuow but, as a general rule, they were the most ioyal part of tfie communi ty ; they gave up honorably, aud all said they were disposed to accept things as they found them ; but there were a few men within my own knowledge, who had done but little during the war, who were dissatisfied; but a very large wujoJty of the peopbe were as loyai, to use the term in its proper sense, as any people in the United Stales—that istosay, they* were willing to obey tbe Government and its iaws, aud tupport and sustain it, and I think they are so yet; I should make this re mark, however ; the people came up freely aud voluntarily, aud did, as tbey supposed, all that was required of taem; they met ail the demands of the President, and with great cheerfulness; wnat changes may have occurred since 1 left there I cannot tell; but I do not think any material changes have taken place; still, you know wheii men do all that is re quired of them and all they think is right, pressure does not in auy degree contribute to their loyalty, and I have been very much afraid that the condition of things here would shake their confidence in the Government; I was so well satisfied with the temp-r, disposi tion, and wishts of the people that I did not think it necessary to submit the amended con stitutiou to them at all; I was perfectly sure that the people were fully and fairly represent ed; tbe members of the convention were elected on the genera! proposition of reforming the constitution, and I have uo doubt they represented tiuly the sentiments of a large ma jority of the people of tbe State. Q What is the general condition of the freedmen in Mississippi—are they diepored to labor, and are they laboring andreceivim; fair wages ? A. They have gone to work with a great deal of good will, and in most parts of our State they are hiring freely and cheerfully; tho freedmen. as I hear lrorn all parts of the States, are doing remarkably well; I have heard from one of the Northeastern c: unties of the State, in which it is stated there is not an idle freedman ; however, there is no disguis ing the fact that the FYeedmeu’s Bureau and the colored troops there have done more mis chief than anything eiee ; the great amount oi of complaints originate from the localities where the negro soldiers ate ; Ido not say that the negroes do nut make good soldiers, hut they encourage the congregation of freed men around them, aud irom the freedmen come crime and depredations ; in some parts of the State the freedmen are receiving ex ceedingly high wages. Mr. Alcorn, my col league in the Senate, authorizes me to state that in the seven counties he mentions, one county in particular, if labor could be had, a thousand freedmen could be employed at twmty.five dollars per month. Q. In addition to their board '! A. Yes, sir; board them, and furnish them with sugar and coffee, and give them twenty live dollars a month over anl above their board. He told me that a thousand freedmen could find employment in that oue county if they cou'.il be had; aud I think that on the Mississippi generally they are" getting almost any wages they are pleased to ask;, I do not believe that there is now in the State very little over more than half the number of freed men that there were formerly of slaves, cer tainly not more than two thirds; they have died oil; there is no telling the mortality that has prevailed among them; they have died off in immense numbers; I should say that very little more than half the amount of land that was under cultivation before the war will be under cultivation this year; we are disposed to think that the majority of the people of Mississippi, would rather take their chan ces in the Union than take them in the Con federacy, even it it were possible to establish it now ; I always believed it would be their ruin if it was established, and I believe, I think I Can say with great certainty, that no portion of the people of Mississippi expect ouo dollar of the rebellion debt to he paid ; there is one class of debt which is not properly a revolutionary debt. In a time of great scarcity the Stato un dertook to relieve the community by issuing bonds on cotton, which were loaned to the plauters ; that was not a revolutionary debt at all; it was intended merely as an accommoda tion to tbe people ; but even that was void, for the reason that the State had no right to issue, bills of credit, aud our valid constitution did not allow the taith of the State to he pledged at all, so that I regard every species of our debt as a nullity, and our former history shows that we are not very much inclined to pay our debts Ido not think the rebel debt, med be considered any obstacle in our way at all, for I do not think any portion of it will ever bo paid. I think the people are desirous of giving the freedmen a lair chance ; perhaps a man is in clined to make up his judgment from limited means of information, but I believe that if the people had m opportunity to restore slavery and it was left to their vote, as a general thipg they would vote not to do it; if each man could get his negroes back by voting to restore slavery, perhaps the people might vote to re store it; but if you should submit the general proposition to strike out the emancipation clause from the Constitution and allow the people to acquire slaves in the future if they can, I am satisfied they would vote against it; I think they have no wish to he encumbered yyith slaves again. The rest of his testimony relates ebb fly to the political antecedents of the Congressmen elect, aud other State officers, and is riot of spe.ial interest to our readers. Washington On Dit. It is promised “that when thejoint resolutions from the Reconstruction Committee and the accompanying legislation are perfected, a meas ure will be suggested extending to the people of the South such financial assitance as will reach in ail sections.” The semi-official publication of the discussion in the Cabinet ot the Reconstruction report, and of the adherence to the President’s plan, ot all of the members present but Secretary Har lan, excites considerable comment in Congress and political circles, generally. The publica tion alluded to was approved by every member of the Cabinet before it was made public. The Senate has ordered that the Government advertising in Washington be given to the pa per with the largest circulation. This will give the Dead Dock another chance. The House has passed a bill inaugurating a gigantic system of internal improvements for nearly all the lakes, harbors, and rivers in the country. One hundred thousand dollars far im proving the mouth of the Mississippi are among the items. Buffalo and Oswego also come in for a good share of the appropriations. The nomination of Gen. Roussau’s brother, as Minister to Honduras, has been laid on he table. Hon. John Hogan has been informed by ine of the Judges of the United States Supreme Court, that the Missouri preachers’ and lawyirs’ test oath law was unconstitutional. The le cissiou will not be officially made public uitil next winter. The Art of BEinG Polite.— First and fo*?« most, don’t try to be polite 1 It will spoil al! If you keep overwhelming your guests with 4, tentatious entreaties to make themselves it home, they will very soon begin to wish they were there. Let them find out that you ms happy to see them by your actions rather that words. Always remember to let bashful peopfe aloue at first. It is the only way to set then at ease. Trying to draw them out has some times the contrary eflect of driving them out— 1 of the house ! Leading the conversation is j ! dangerous experiment. Better follow in it! wake, and il you want to endear yourself i< talkers, learn to listen well. Never make a <usf about anything—never talk about yourself— ant always preserve composure, no matter what •; solecism or blunders others may commit. Re member that it is a very foolish proceeding tc lainent that you can not offer to your guest a | better house, or furniture, or viands. It is fafi to presume that the visit is to you and not to these surroundings. Give people a pleasant im pression of themselves, and they will be pretty I sure to go away with a pleasant impression of your qualities. On just such slender wheels as these the whole fabnc of society turns; it is your business then to keep them in revolving order. Wen.

Judge Underwood, who is now in Washimgton, states that thifgrandjury which meets at Norfolk, on Monday next, will bring in a true bill against Mr. Davis for treason. As soon, therefore, as the House Judiciary Committee have acted upon the subject, which will probably within the next sixteen days, the Government will be ready to proceed with his trial, provided Con gress throws no obstructions in the way. The committee, however, are trying very hard to make out a case which will warrant them in recommending his trial before a military corns mission. In this they will fail, for the President does not intend to have him or any other person connected with the rebellion, tried in any other way than before a civil tribunal. Amnesty Pardons Granted. The President is now preparing an answer to a resolution of the House requiring a statement of the number and names of all who have been granted amnesty pardons, arid a particular state ment of all the confiscated property that is re stored to original owners. The value of the property is not stated, but the number of pardons is something over 7,000, and, with but few ex ceptions, the persons pardoned were private citizens. Rescue of Two Children.
