A Child of the Regiment.
When Sherman’s army stopped at Smith
field, N. about fifteen months since,
there was found with it a little girl, five or
six years of age, of bright countenance and
pleasant ways, evidedlly well-bred tlius
far, who, the soldiers said, followed them
from Mouth Carolina, Georgia or Tennes
see. The corps to which this little girl
seemed attached eamped near the house
<tTa lady who had a little girl of nearly the
same age, and the two little ones became
so fondly attached, that the lady in
duced Him soldiers to give the child to her,
and she has been with her ever since.
The child has dark eyes, and is quite pret
ty. She had been so long with the army
that she could give no intelligent account
of her home. The lady who has posses
sion of tliis little wanderer is very much
attached to her, and treats her in every
respect as her own daughter.
Parties interested are referred to the

EQUAL RIGHTS CONVENTION.
I{r\ant Denounced as a I.iar, Swindler,
and Beggar.
’l'li<' Georgia Kquul Rights Association
of ftsiedinen, of which J. K. Bryant is Pre
sident, met in this city on Wednesday, and
adjourned on Friday night, after a session
of t hree days. Delegates from twenty-four
counties were present. The object of the
Convention appears to have bhon to organ
ize a political party in the interest of the
Freedmen and their equality under the
law. A leading object appears also to have
lieen to investigate the conduct of Bryant
both as Editor of the Loyal Georgian and
also as to the alleged swindling of freed
men. After an e.r parte hearing, without
summoning wit nesses against. Bryant, the
investigating committee reported favorably
to him, adding, however, a resolution con
doming the attacks on Gen. Tillson, which
luive appeared in tiie Georgian, and de
manding t lint they- shall cease.
Just before the Convention adjourned
General Tillson, on Friday night, on in
vilation, addressed the Convention in a
longlhly speech, in which he gave utter
ance to many sound and valuable sug
gestions as to the policy the freedmen
should pursue. 11l the course of his ad
dress he denounced the conduct of Bryant
as injurious to their race,and characterized
him as a liar a scoundrel and a beggar
He declared that Bryant is engaged in
wringing money from the hard earnings
of the poor freedmen under the pretence
of being their friend, while his chief object
is the promotion of his own interests. He
expressed a contempt for any man who
would prostitute himseli to ‘such shame
less practices, and warned t hem to beware
of him.
Tho Convention passed a resolution
thanking the General for Ills speech, and
the information it contained. Bryant was
present, as chairman of the meeting. Wo
understand that before leaving the city a
large number of the delegates expressed
their opinion t hat Bryant is a rogue, and
their determination to discountenance hint’
Gen Tillson deserves the thanks of all
lovers of truth and honesty, and especially
of the freedmen of Georgia, for tlius boldly
stepping forward to expose the infamous
character of Bryant, and prevent the ad
vantage which the ex parte investigation
might have afforded, to secure a con
tinuance of tho subsidies lie is drawing
from tiie pockets of his confiding dupes.
Tlu- New Homestcail Law.
Few of our rend th, we imagine, arc ful
ly aware of tlu* nature of a measure recent
ly adopted liy Congress, and approved by
the President, called the “Southern Home
stead Law.” It is hailed by tho Radicals
as one bright spot in the dark record of
enormities piapotoated by the President,
that lie npprovodVhe bill. Under its pro
visions, public lauds in the States of Ar
kansas, Alabama, Florida, Louisiana and
Mississippi are withdrawn from the mar
ket, and, until January 1,1667, will be open
to loyal settlers only, after which they will
lie free to all. Tho importance of this
bounty to loyalty, may tie seen by refer
ence to tin l following statement of the sur
veyed public lands remaining unsold in
the States named, in February last :
In Arkansas, 9,298,015.70acre5.
“ Alabama, 6,732,058.68 “
“ Florida, 19,379,635.61 “
“ Louisiana, 6,228,102.45 “
“ Mississippi, 4,760,736.03 “
Os this immense area, at least thirty mil
lions of port's are saiil to Ih> arable land,
and it is estimated by the friends of the bill
that three hundred and seventy-live thou
sand homesteads are thus tendered as a
reward for what is called loyalty. For six
months no erne who participated in therobel
lion can get a foothold in this rich domain,
which is tire common property of all the
people, and it will therefore be a race be
tween freedmen and Yankees, who shall
gobble up the largest portion of the tempt
ing prize. For our part, we do not hesi
tate to say that our jMirtialitios are for tho
freedmen. They were generally faithful
during the war, and contributed material
ly to our facilities for prosecuting the
struggle, and to that extent ehallenge the
preference indicated. Many of them are
indisposed to cultivate the lands of their
late masters, and dosin' to set up for them
selves. This bill presents them a fair op
portunity. and we are assured that the
clause excluding rebels from these lands for
six months was inserted, “on the assurance
of the managers of the Freedmen's Bureau,
that this .sprier of tone would he sufficient to
accomplish the object of the hill —that is,
to enable the negroes of the five States to
enter land under it. (Jen. Howard is to
send out special instructions to the agents
of the bureau to take every pains to in
form the colored people of the nature of
the act, and to induce them Us select home
steads on the lands conferred by it.” (AYe
quote from high Radical authority.)
AVe take this occasion to caution the
freedmen against Ix'ing swindled by tliosg
who will volunteer their good offices to se
cure for them grants under the law refer
red to. The occasion will tie seized upon
by an army of cormorants of the AA’ild,
French and Bryant school—who, in the
guise of friendship for the freedmen will
seek to till their filthy purses by securing
these grants, or by purchasing them for a
song after they are secured.
The measure must be regarded as an enor
mous out rage upon the white people of the
South, and the richest field for corruption
and fraud that has been offered since the sale
of cotton and other Confederate property.
While approving, as we have, the general
spirit of justice manifested by the Presi
dent toward the Southern States, we feel
bound to condemn the policy which thus
punisheg before they have l teen convicted
of offence, white people of the South, de
priving them of their just share of the pub
lic domain.
The Philadelphia Convention—Who are
Entitled to Seats ?
We take pleasure in transferring to our
columns the following frank and manly at
tic! e from the Constitutional Union, pub
lished in Washington City, in relation to
the requirements of representatives in the
proposed Convention. This* article is in
response to an inquiry from the Richmond
Enquirer, which pajier opposed the Con
vention because it thought the call excluded
all those in the South who sympathized
with, or aided the South, in the war.
We hope that we shall hear tio more
complaints at the South against the Con
vention on account of the qualifications
proposed for its representatives. Leery
man in the South who Is not an enemy of
the United States Government, and who,
in good faith, intends to support and defend
the Constitution of the Lnited States and
the laws made in pursuance thereof, is in
vited to fellowship in the new organization.
[From tho Constitutional Union.]
A Candid Response to an Earnest “En
quirer.”
Tiie Richmond Enquirer asks ns to In
form it what tiie people of tiie Moutli are
expected to do in reference to the National
Union Convention of conservative and
patriotic citizens, to be held in Philadelphia
on tiie 14th of August; and whom they
must send to represent them. We had
supposed that the consistent and unswer
ving course of this journal in upholding
the rights of all the .States, and the invio
lable sanctity of the constitutional pri
vileges of all the tcAifocitizens of the thirty
six United States was a sufficient ex
ponent of what wo conceived to lie the
duty of tiie South at the present crisis.
But, as the Enquirer asks for information,
wc give it as briefly and clearly as possi
ble.
Avast majority of the people of the so
ceded States entered heart and soul in tho
defence of their newly erected government
against the efforts Os the United States to
enforce obedience to the requirements of
that Constitution, which applied to the
Southern as well as Northern States. The
result of the struggle was in favor of the
< i institution of the United States. The
Southern States had struggled manfully
and with terrible earnestness in supportof
their theory, hut the endoftho war demon
strated the fallacy of their ideas, and the
truth of our own. We had fought this war
to remove all obstructions to the execution
of the laws of otor common country, over
that portion of our common country \vhich
endeavored to break away. Wo, were
successful, and as the result of our siuecess
tlie Southern people remained our fellow
countrymen, governed by tiie same con
"stitutibnal laws tiiat we were. One of
those constitutional laws —tiie validity of
which was finally and forever decided by
the war—was that every State is entitled
to representation in the National Legisla
ture, and to the right of managing her in
ternal and domestic concerns just as she
pleased, provided she did not interfere
with tiie constitutional rights of any oilier
State.
Os course if tho people of tho Southern
States are entitled to representation in Con
gress they are entitled and we expect them
to be represented in tho proposed National
Convention of Eastern, Western, Northern
and Southern patriotic Constitution-loving
citizens. Os course it is not intended that
any enemy of the country shall represent
the Southern people either in Congress
or in this proposed convention, and we do
not suppose for a moment that any mail in
the Southern States, if any there be,' who is
an enemy to the Uni tod States Government,
will so fiir forget his manhood or tiie pro
verbial honor of the Southern people as to
present himself where lie is not wanted and
whore lie will certainly not lie allowed to
enter. The question then is, whoarethoene
inies of the United States Government ?
We have always earnestly contended that
tho past evils should be forgotten. Tho
proposed Convention is called for the pur
pose of digging the grave and formally
burying tlu- corpse of sectionalism, come
from what quarter it will. Wo consider
the Southern people as much our country
men as tho Northern, and we extend the
hand of fellowship to the Virginian and
South Carolinian as quickly and as earn
estly as wo would to tho Pennsylvanian
or tho Massachusetts man. The war hav
ing ended, ends all doubt as to the per
petuity of tho Union, and as for the Con
stitution, neither North nor South threat
ened its sanctity or proposed its invasion,
iuntil Radical folly culminated into insani
ty and attempted treason.
' We, therefore, earnestly conjure every
Southern Stato to send representatives to
this National Convention. We urge them
to send their wisest, ablest, and most mod
erate statesmen. Every white citizen of
South, whether he fought in the Confeder
ate ranks or not, if ho accepts tho results
of tho war in good faith, and is willing to
maintain the union and harmony of the
entire country, with the rights of each in
dividual and of each State guaranteed and
fully protected under the Constitution of
our fathers ; every such white citizen of
the South is entitled to, and is expected to
be, represented in this National Conven
tion. Such is our understanding of the
spirit which prompted the call for, and will
preside over tiie deliberations of this Con
vention. As an assembly which is to in
clude every patriotic lover of his country
from the St. Croix te the Gila, we endorse
it. As a'convention eminently catholic in
its tone, and strictly conservative in its
temper, comprehending the i vhole country,
and not merely a petty section of it, we
most cordially approve of its call —and ap
prove of it on no narrower or more limited
grounds.
We trust the Richmond Enquirer is sat
isfied with our answer, and informed.
Anil we sincerely hope that every journal
in tHe South,and every citizen of the South,
will meet us with the same kindly, frater
nal, patriotic spirit in which wo have res
ponded to the interrogatory of the Rich
mond Enquirer —and with the united
strength ol all the conservative patriots,
from the whole country, Massachusetts,
South Carolina, Now York, Ohio—North
and South, East and West—wo earnestly
hope (as we sincerely believe) that we will
be able to restore tiie glorious old Union
of our fathers to its former normal condi
tion of happiness, harmony and pros
perity.
Protest of the New York Chanipcr of Com
merce Against the Tariff Bill.
The following remonstrance against the
tariff bill now in Congress was offered to
tho Chamber of Commerce of New York,
at its meeting on Thursday by ex-Major
Opdyke, and it was accepted and approved
without a dissenting vote:
To the Honorable the Senate ami House of
Representatives of the United States, in
Congress assembled :
The Chamber of Commerce of the State
of New York respectfully remonstrate
against the passage of the bill now before
the House of Represcntativas, entitled “A
bill to provide increased revenues from im
ports and for other purposes,” and ask
leave to submit for the consideration of
Congress the following objections thereto.
In the first place the title of the bill is
misleading, the inhanced duties it pro
poses being in many eases so high that
they must prove prohibitive. Its adoption
could not fail to diminish rather than in
crease the revenue from imports. The
proposed enhancement of duties is chiefly,
if not altogether, on imported articles
which come directly in competition with
similar domestic products, such, for in
stance, as iron. wool, woollens, worsted,
linens and cigars. These are all leading
articles of our import trade, and no one
familiar with that trade can doubt that
the exorbitant duties which this bill pro
poses to subject them would greatly dimin
ish tlieir import and thereby lessen the
revenue of the Government at a time when
its gold liabilities are increasing, and it
seems especially impolitic to do so coin
cident with the abandoment of many of the
existing sources of internal revenue. There
is reason to apprehend that the joint ef
fect of the two measures so reduce
the reveuue of the Government as to leave
the aggregate insufficient to meet its cur
rent expenses and maturing interest, and
tints waste the public Credit.
But your remonstrants object to the
measure on other and broader grounds.—
They believe its adoption would prove in
jurious to commerce by diverting it from
its established channels, by lessening our
foreign trade, and bv leaving our large
mercantile niariue without adequate or
profitable employment; it would mar the
prosperity of agriculture by increasing the
exist of its supplies without enhancing the
prices of its products, Avhich are governed,
as are those of all exportable commodities,
by the foreign market value. It would in -
jure mechanics by increasing the cost of
living without enhancing wages : and, fi
nally. through its exorbitant production, it
would endanger the prominent prosperity
of the manufacturing interest itself, which
it Is specially intended to protect and fos
ter. it proposes to increase that produc
tion by adding from ten to fifty per cent,
to the present high rates of thirty at the
moment when the amended internal reve
nue laws relieve that interest from a heavy
excise tax. The joint effect of the two
measures would be to confer on that inter
est a rate of protection ranging from fifty
to one hundred per cent.; and this pro
tection will be absolute with the excise
taxes annulled, and the premium on ex
cliange and on the adverse effects of a de
preciated currency. This degree of pro
tection being at least twice as large as that
interest has hitherto enjoyed under the
revenue laws, we may expect to see it en
gender a homo competition which will ul
timately pfove fatal to its prosperity. We
may also expect to see the people soon be
come so restive under the unwarrantable
boon conierred on a favored interest as to
demand its repeal, and the substitute of a
tariff strictlv grounded on the principle of
revenue. This, combined with the ap
peals of home competition, would he liable
to involve the manufacturing interest of
our country in general bankruptcy.
For these reasons your remonstrants re
spectfully ask that the bill may not become
a law.
JOTTINGS FROM THE CAPITAL.
Triumph of the New Tariff in the House
—A Sketch of the Leading Features of
the Bill—The Coal Duty—A Crumb of
Comfort to the South—The Case of Sick
les ami tiie Habeas Corpus—The Presi
dent vs. Stanton, «fcc.
[from our own correspondent.]
Washington, Tuesday Night, July 10.
This has been a “field-day” in the House
of Representatives. After a severe and
protracted struggle, the advocates of the
new Tariff Bill have succeeded in carrying
that measure through, the House by a vote
of ninety-five in favor of it, to fifty-two
against it. This unexpectedly large ma
jority for the bill was obtained mainly by
the aid'of the votes of some of the mem-,
bers from the Northwestern, sheep-raising
States, whose good will in regard to the
Tariff had been propitiated by the impo
sition of a very heavy nrotectiwc duty upon
wool and woolens. The readers of the
Chronicle if Sentinel, who have, perhaps,
had neither the opportunity nor the incli
nation to watch the shifting current of
legislation upon this topic, will doubtless
be glad to have a brief summary of the
LEADING FEATURES OF THE NRW TARIFF
in the form in which it was finally passed
by the House. The first and most notable
change which it makes in the existing
Tariff is the heavy increase ol' the duties
upon all kinds of foreign wool and manu
facturers of wool. The next change—and (
one which is designed to render the meas
ure popular amongst the people at large—
is the reduction of tho duties ou tea and
coffee to one-half the existing rates. Un
der the present tariff the duty on tea is
twenty-five cents per pound. This, in the
new bill, is cut down to twelve and a half
cents per pound; while the present duty
of five cents per pound on coffee is reduced
to two and a half cents per pound. The
duty on Railroad iron, about which there
hud been a deal of wrangling, was finally
fixed in the new bill at the rates prescribed
by the present tariff, namely, seventy cents
per one hundred pounds. The Pennsylva
nia iron-folks tried desperately hard to have
this duty increased to one dollar per one
hundred pounds, and came within an ace
of carrying their point.
THE DUTY ON BITUMINOUS COAL,
however, was the most closely contested
point of the whole bill. To understand
the interests involved in this question, it
must be mentioned that, during the exist
ence of the Reciprocity Treaty between the
United States and Great Britain, trade
between this country and the British
Provinces was almost entirely free and un
restricted. The vast number of manufac
turing establishments New
England, all of which are wiven by steam
power, were enabled, as long as the treaty
lasted, to procure the immense supplies of
bituminous coal required for daily consump
tion in their furnaces, from the coal-fields
of Nova Scotia at a very low price, with
only the trifling cost of transportation add
ed thereto, there being no duties payable in
tho case. • But, with the expiration of the
Reciprocity Treaty in March last, the sud
den increase in the cost of Nova Scotia coal,
owing to the addition of the duty which
immediately went into force, became a very
serious item. To remove, or materially
modify this duty became at once the aim
of all the New Englanders in Congress.
They, therefore, went to work and succeed
ed in so far influencing the action of the
Committee of Ways and Means as to in
duce them to frame the coal-clause of the
new Tariff, so as to impose a duty of one
dollar and fifty cents per ton upon all bitu
minous coal imported from beyond the At
latic, leaving only a duty of fifty cents per
ton on such coal when imported from the
British Provinces. The House, however,
urged by the remonstrances of tho Repre
sentatives of tne Maryland and Pcunsyl- •
vania coal districts, (who claimed in this
connection a share of the protection so
liberally afforded to the manufacturers of
“Down East,” in other parts. of the bill)
refused to sustain the discrimination made
by the Committee in favor of Nova Scotia
coal, and the bill was passed, with the
bituminous coal duty fixed at the uniform
rate of one dollar and fifty cents per ton.
This action, if the bill should become a law,
must have a most beneficial effect in the
DEVELOPMENT OF THE SOUTHERN COAL
INTEREST.
The bituminous coal fields of Virginia
and North Carolina are admitted to be the
best and most extensive on this continent.
This fact Avas becoming generally recog
zed just preyious to the out break of the
war ; and the coal interest of those States
now needs only a little encouragement in
starting, and some improvement in the
existing facilities for transportation from
the coal fields to the seaboard, to assume
an importance of which the Southern peo
ple, hitherto, have little dreamed. The
necessary encouragement will be at*
fordedby this bill, if it should become a
law ; and we shall behold the novel spec
tacle of Yankee vessels thronging to the
shores of \ irginia and North Carolina in
quest of the fuel that is to keep in motion
the looms and the spindles of Lowell.
Thus, from the selfish feat of the North
upon the tit-fits of legislative and govern
mental plunder, there falls, by accident, an
occasional crumb of comfort to the un
represented and misrepresented communi
ties of the South.
Beyond the items given abo\-e, 1 do. not
know that there are any features in the
new bill that would specially interest your
readers, unless I except the duty on salt,
which has been increased to thirty-six
cents per one hundred pounds, in sacks,
at to twenty-four cents per hundred.pounds,
in bulk. The
GENERAL TENDENCY OF THE PROPOSED TA
RIFF,
is to increase the duties imposed by the
existing Tariff from one hundred to
one hundred and fifty per cent. hen it
is remembered that these duties are inva
riably payable in gold, which, under the
blundering financial .policy of Congress,
will at least maintain its present premium
of fifty per cent, it will be seen that prices
of all imported articles are likely rather to'
increase than to subside to the ante-bellum
standard.
There is a good deal of speculation and
wonderment amongst the newspaper gen
try here, in regard to the relations between
THE GOVERNMENT AND GEN. SICKLES,
growing of the recent contemptuous refu
sal of tne latter to obey the writ of habeas
corpus, issued in the case of Stowers and
others, by the U. S. District Court at
Charleston. I know positively that the
I President decided two days ago to order
Gen. Sickles to obey the writ and surren
der the prisoners into the custody of the
Court: yet we are surprised by the tele
graphic announcement from Charleston
that Sickles is sustained f/*e Secretary of
]\7ir. Certainly things have come to a
; pretty pass, if the avowed will of the Pres
ident U to be overridden and nullified, at
the pleasure of one of his subordinates. It
is well known that such was the case too
often during the administration of Presi
dent Lincoln ; but it remains to be seen
how far President Johnson will submit to
the insolent dictation of the tyrant of the
the War Department. Butternut.

Advance in Cotton— Market Reports—
Surrender of .lie Hanoverian army—
Desperate Battle, &c.
New York. July 12.—The Persia has
arrived with Liverpool dates to the 30th
and Ist, via Queenstown,
The Hanoverian army has surrendered
to the Prussians, and were allowed to re
turn to their homes. A desperate battle
was fought in Bohemia, near Nachad and
Traulenau. Conflicting accounts have
been received. _ -
A Berlin dispatch claims that the Prus
sians drove the Austrians on the 27th and
28th, capturing 8,000 prisoners, while the
Vienna telegrams claim that the Austrians
have captured 18 guns and many prisoners.
In the fight of Tralenau the Austrians are
said to have lost from 4,000 to 6,000 in
killed and wounded. The Prussian loss
was 1,000. There was great rejoicing at
Berlin over the alleged Prussian victory,
and the people presented an address to the
King.
Vienna dispatches, on the other hand,
assert that Benedek prevented the junction
of the army of Prince Frederick Charles
with the army of Silesia, and was succesful
in the engagements of the 27th and 28tli,
killing and wounding a great number of
the enemy.
The London Times says it is difficult to
decide the result, as the action was not de
cisive.
Indefinite reports have been received
from the Italian army, which appears to
have changed its plan of operations.
Derby has been forced to form a Cabinet
exclusively Tory.
There is a threatened trouble among the
London populace about the reform ques
tion.

REVIEW OF THE AIGISTA MARKET,
FOR THE WEEK ENDING JULY 14TH, 1866.
REMARKS—The weather, though ex
cessively warm during the week, has been
favorable for vegetation—though rain is
again needed at j>resent—and agricultural
interests in this part of the State present
rather a more cheering aspect. Cotton,stiU
small and unpromising, is growing
rapidly, and with a favorable fall, may yet
produce a half crop to the area planted.
Corn looks well, and with favorable seasons
promises a fair yield. The wheat crop has
been lighter than was estimated, and very
little is coming to the market—a pretty
sure indication that there is little in the
country to spare, as the price is high, and
the necessity lor ready money very urgent.
The season thus far has been most favor
able for forage and all root crops, and
there appears to be a general desire to save
as much as possible. The reports of the
wheat yield in the West are much more
favorable than was expected, and have
greatly relieved the appprehensiogs of a
scarcity. The dull and drooping tone of
provisions and breadstuff's in the leading
markets is matter of some surprise, under
the anticipated demand from Europe.
The latest quotations in the Cincinnati
market represent provisions quiet, but
firm. Flour* and grain dull and declin
ing. In New York they are dull and
heavy, with a decline in flour. In New
Orleans provisions were generally quietand
steady, with a good supply of Hour and
corn, but a small stock of bacon. Sugar
and molasses were in limited supply with
a fair demand.
COTTON—We left the market, at the
close of our last report, unsettled under
foreign advices, and gave 28@31 cents as
the extremes for the better grades. The
advices by the Saxonia, though reporting
an advance, were so ambiguous as to have
little effect on the market. Middling Up
lands were then quoted at told. The City
of London with one day’s later news,
brought the same quotation, and our mar
ket has continued at a stand all the week,
with only a moderate demand, and no
general disposition to sell. We hear of no
orders of any magnitude to be filled, and
except under pressing circum
stances, are disposed to await the develop
ment of events, confident that prices will
advance. The estimates of the growing
crop still have a wide range; those that we
have seen running from 800,000 bales up
to 2,000,000. The former figure is evidently
too low, unless we shall have an earlyfrost,
and we see no reason, even under the
brightening prospects to which wojiave
referred, to believe that it can reach the
latter. All estimates depend so much on
the character of the fall, as to be the merest
guess work.
At the close of our report, at 12 o’clock
to-day, there was but little offering, and
quotations unchanged, as follows:
Middling 28@29
Strict Middling 30@...
Good Middling 31@...
FINANCIAL.—The Gold market has
been rather irregular during the week,
though the fluctuations have not been wide,
and we may quote Gold at 150 for buying
rates and 151 @ 152 for selling, witha supply
fully equal to the demand. Large sales
of Gold were made at 151. Silver is in
request at 140, and sells at 143@144, and
