THE WEEKLY HERALD. VOL. 11. TOOMBS. \A Believer in His Third Term \ Proclivities Admonishes " _ The “Herald.” V> Genera! yeeicbs and President Grant. To the Ewitors of the Herald: I observeJiu reading your issue of the 29th instant, tbat you "cfTntradict,” without qualification, and per haps without consultation with General Toombs, the sta'.cmejft of a “New York Herald” correspondent, to the i that the General had expressed a willingness to/cupport Grant for a third term on the condition tLlat by so doing he would be able to break up the nest 0$ “thieves and negroes” who now ruu the Govern inknt of the United states. Have a care, Messrs. Ed • ' that you are not too hasty in this matter—that yc a Lave not volunteered to relieve General Toombs f'ci a Large of which he docs not desire to bo relieved, and the correspondent of the ‘‘New York Herald” docs not better understand the General than your- selves. One trouble of the present day is that all public questions are apt to be viewed by the masses, and by eone of their leaders, exclusively through the specta cles of party. This habit, I respectfully submit, is, and has been, the bane of the South. It has kept her chained down to a rock, fettered both in her wisdom and in her energies. Salvation is the great question w . h our people—Ealvation of the nation, the States, a’Y the people from the utter overthrow of national liberty: and they are not statesmen, but poor patriots, who stop to inquire how and by whom it shall be dene. Salvation, any way, should be the motto and tfcewarcryof the South; and I tell you here, that v * ydd General Toombs’ “third term” plan hold ou* • fair promise of such • or not .the great body lot his fellow-countrymen of the South will be found fighting by his side. The South ern people want tangible, practical evidence# of liberty, and honest government—and care nothing for mere theories and names. Democ ;acj # a good enough thing in itself; but that and :s , r thing is wortL ! ess that cannot halp us out of Lis “Slough of Despond.” 1 a-’vis** you, therefore, not to be hasty in blazing '‘ y ;r path In the next Preeidential contest. Many ti.. may happen in this changeful era to cause yon t in don your position, or prove recreant to the rv of your people by persistently mai taining them. We aro in the midst of a great political revo lve r > and the cause of the South, and of good gov eu;me-t to the,whole Auieticau people, must survive or perish iu the coctlict. Of what vast moment, therefore, is it tbat every patriot, North as well aa S-. utb —for we are ail in . *‘ u ‘*'‘* < *’ “*“* r vT* serve a perfect freed cm and indo to act without parly or other dictation, and /, ir.Vjf , t |, *•**/* i*> iiu imhuo rcvl ) 1 Hr Tijuth amj Soberness.

Mirage of the Capitol at Washington. \ ioiwr to the Alexandria gazette, dated Buekland, Prince WiKu>m cotwity, Virginia, sa 58 : “Yesteidny (Sunday) afternom, about sun set, tko ladies at the residence of a well known citizen, near this place, witnessed a most remarkable phenomenon, the like of which Las never occurod hero bofore, and doubtless never will happen again. It will he remembered that we are situated at about forty miles west of Washington, and that the highest elevation near us will not afford a viow beyond the heights ot Centerville. While stroking through the fields, one of the ladies, in admiring the gloiicus sunset, allowed her ye to fcweep around the gram, pictures pre sented in tbe skies, when suddenly her atten tion was arrested by nothing more nor less than a perfect panorama of the capitol of Washirgton, with the river flowing at its base, painted with most startling faithfulness and surpassing beauty on the clouds in the direction of the city. She immediately called the attention of her companion, a young la dy of thirteen or fourteen years,to the singular sight presented, when suddenly exclaimed, “Why, auntie that looks like the pictures I have seen in the capitol.” So faithful was the representation that walls and trees could be distinguished. The enchanting scene lasted but a few moments, when the capitol gradually sank into the river, and both gradually disappeared. The lady doubtlessly hav been terribly she not remembered the stories told tom ships,'’ often seen m the at sea, the philospky of which is kv-s than reflection, and easily scientifically. |§^o£ "BY THE WAY.” U I lj" iUD .t serious charge yet Mg Beecher is t!mt ]:.■ was ' .ST .'hi-'i.n-j - rs. —HISII1!

A reporter of the Herald called at the resi dence of Mr. Tilton in Livingston street last evening, for the purpose of obtaining his views upon the reported official transcript of the tes timony of Bessie, the adopted daughter, be fore the Plymouth church investigating’ com mittee. Air. lilton declined to give any opin ion upon the statement whatever. When asked whether there war, any truth whatever in the allusions to Miss Susan B. Anthony made by Bessie before tbe committee. Mr. Tilton re. plied, with an air of solemnity, “I tremble ac<- shiver to answer until I hear what my venetir ble friend, Susan B. Anthony, has to say coo*- cermng the embarrassing situation in whiefa we were both unhappily caught that evening. My anxiety is not concerning Bessie hut Susan. Little Bessie's accusation sits far mure lightly upon my head than dear good Suszn sat upon my knee. I don’t say that Sns*n wonld do the same thing now, but she was young then. Ton need not press mo further. I shall not, for Susan’s sake, deny it. There have beeu too few confessions of the plain truth in this controversy." Thanking Mr. Tilton for his courtesy in furnishing the above explanatorypaad gratify ing statement of a most important episode in Bessie's testimony, the writer withdrew, medi tating upon the effect which the perusal of the aboye will have upon tbe delicate nerves. the venerable spinster, whose name io wide ly known and respected in the gwsat field of feminine reform.

ARhonjt relative to the statement of Mrs. Tq. .u . servant, Biis.o, implicating Mns Anthony in au improper tete-a-tete with Theodore Tilton- Miss An thony denies tbe whole story, but regards it as too absurd to ba worthy of notioa. Sue says she never heard that the girl (Bessie) was anything more than a servant in Tilton's am ily; that she was halt an idiot, and that M s. Tilton had repeatedly said she could not in stil into the girl the first elements of trulh. Miss Anthony’s character is too well estab lished by long years of residence in this com munity to admit of a shadow of a donbt in the mind of any person bare as to her virtue and veracity. Miss Anthony denies positively that there was any amorous character to her conduct in sitting in Tilton’s lap. She Bays that Theo dore. jooosely asked her haw much she weigh ed, and she said, “Guess. 1 ' And ha says, “Come here, Susie, and sit oh ray knee till I heft yoU>” and then, like giiy young thing as she isV she sat down on his lap, and he sj a nd spread his h add to keep trout falling flat on tin door s throw her arms around his neck, and was so mad she attempt ed to bite him on the face for his rude oonduc'; and ho got mad and attempted to bite her. and that was all there was of i\ and it’s non sense for that ohit of a Bessie to, say she was doing anything wrong. —Washington Oltroniu - CJOutside of New York, the great preponder ance of sentiment is against Mr. Beecher.
