To the Select and Common Councils : Gentlemen: I herewith transmit for your consideration and action a series of resolutions adopted at a general Town Meeting of tho citizens, held at the Court House, in this city, on Thursday evening, the 20th ultimo. The near approach of the Asiatic Cholera, and its probaDlo prevalence throughout tho country during tho ensuing Bummer and autumn months, render it absolutely necessary that every timely precautionary measure should be adopted by our citizens, as such, or by tho corporate authorities act ing for them. According to the best medi cal advice on the subject of prevention, cleanliness should be the first thing attend ed to. Therefore “all accumulations of filth, street rubbish, mud, stable dirt, etc., foul drains and cesspools, neglected privies and stagnant pools of water, ought to be carefully removed.” Every house, public and private, should be thoroughly cleansed, and all the nouse drainage and privies kept perfectly clean. Tho fermenting exhala tions from those uro particularly to bo dreaded ns a means of inducing a visit of Cholera. Tho appointment of a Sanitary Commit tee, under proper restrictions, as recom mended by tho meeting, clothed with full power of Councils to make a thorough ex amination of public and private dwellings, outhouses, stables and yards, sowers, gut ters. Ac., Ac., would, in tho opinion of all intelligent men, go very fu!r towards keep ing oil'tho pestilence, or, at leust, mitigate its severity should it uppear in our midst. Now, then, whilo tho terrible disease is at a distance, Is tho proper time to provide against it by adopting and enforcing such sunitary regulations’ as may bo doomed necessary, and I therefore earnestly invite your honorable bodies to take prompt ac tion in the matter. I am, gentlemen, vory respectfully, Ac., Geo. Sanderson, Mayor.

Resolved, That tho City Authorities bo earnestly requested to enforce thoordinanco against nuisances of every kind, such as hog-pens, slaughter houses, soap-boilers, tallow-chandlers, etc., etc., so as to rornovo tho offensive and pustllontial odor which emanates from muny of these establish ments, when not kept thoroughly cleansed and in good order, and in doing their duty we pledge the officers of the Corporation the countenance and support of every good citizen. Resolved. That tho City Councils be re quested to appoint a Sanitury Committee of six gentlomeu in each ward, (at leust one of whom shall bo a physician,) whoso duty it shall bo to visit the premises and examine iuto tho condition of ull dwelling houses and outbuildings, prlvato alloys and sowers, and such other places where they may have reason to beliovo any impurities exist, and roquiro the satno to bo removed with the least possible delay.

And Whereas, It is the duty of all citi zens to see that cleanliness be observed in and about their promises, and report all tilth and nuisance tothoproporofllcers,that the same bo removed aud abated without delay. Therefore , he it resolved, By tho Select and Common Couueils, that u Board of Health bo constituted and appointed in aud for the City of Lancaster, consisting of throe per sons, two of whom are to bo Physicians, in conjunction with tho Mayor of tho city, whoso duty it shall be to investigate all places which may bo reported tosaict Board, as likely to generate diseases; and if in the tho opinion of said Board tho same is dangerous to public health, they shall give notice to the owners or occupants thoreof to übato or remove the same, which if not done, said Board shall have power to re move or abate tho same, and assess the costs of such removal or abatement upon tho premises of such owner or owners of said property.

Mr. Fitzpatrick advocated the necessity of granting the prayer of the petitioners, to nflprd them an outlet from tho rear of their lots, of which they are now and will be de prived until Councils come to their relief. Messrs. Deaner and Fitzpatrick moved that the Street Commissioner be instructed to open the street. The motion was not agreed to. Mr. Fitzpatrick also presented a petition of the Humane Fire Company, for a grant of §lOOO by Councils, to enable the company to purchase new hose and place their en gine and other tiro apparatus in efficient condition for service, and moved that the prayer of the petitioners be granted. John B. Livingston, Esq., by permission, addressed Council in behalf of the Company, urging their claims for the allowance they solicited. lie was followed by Henry Schaum, Esq. an old member of the Company, in a char acteristic speech. Mr. Schaum said tho engine of the Company was unfit for ser vice, or the Company would pot be hero asking pecuniary aid. Their members were the hard-fisted boys and all good firemen. In the fall thero would bo a firemen’s parade, and their Company could not turn out with their apparatus in its present condition with credit to themselves, lie thought the Hu mane boys had us good a right to a §lOOO from the city as the Union Fire Company had, who received that sum last winter.— Unless they got this aid from Councils they would be compelled to shut up their engine house, and might as well set fire to their engine. On motion 'to vote tho §lOOO, a call for a division was made, resulting as follows : Fcas—Messrs. Curie, Deaner, Fitzpatrick and Lechler. Nays— Messrs. Metzgar, Mishler,Roberts, £ahm and Evans, President.

Adjourned. PROCEEDINGS OF THE SCHOOL BOARD.— A stated meeting of the Board of School Directors was held on Thursday evening last. Twenty-two members were present. 11. S. Cara read tho certificates of the elec tion of the members elected on last Tuesday John W. Jackson was chosen lomporury President. A communication from J. B. Livingston, tendering his resignation as a member of the Board, was read, when, on motion, tho consideration of tho question of acceptance was postponed, and Mr. Liv ingston requested to withdraw his resigna tion. The election for permanent officers for the ensuing year then took place. John B. Livingston wus electod President; Hugh S. Cara, Secretary; Peter MoCpnomy. Treasurer; and Matthias Zahm, Messenger; each of the officers elected receiving tho unanimous vote of the members present. Mr. Jackson, Chairman of the Committee ofFinanee, submitted the following report: To the Board of Directors of tho Lancas ter City School District: Tho Finance Com mittee respectfully present the following as their estimate of the requirements of the schools for the ensuing year, as ■well as tho resources at command to meet them : Anticipating an increase of salaries to teachers, and necessary improvements cal culated to increuse our expenses beyond those of former years, we aro constrained to recommend tho raising of tho rate of tax ation to six mills on the dollar valuation for ordinary purposes. This, on a valuation of $3,559,210, making a very liberal allowance for errors nnd oxbonorations, commission for collections, and abatement for tho prompt payment of taxes, should produce §22,000; State appropriation, $1,000; proba ble balance from this year, $l,OOO, making our total receipts $24,000. The expenditures wo put down as fol lows : Tuition, including a Principal for the High Schools, as established last year three addi tional teachers for a combined primary school, if tho Board shall decide that anoth er is necessary, and provision for teachers of night schools ns heretofore, say §19,000; interest on loans, §1,200; fuel and gas, §1,300; stoves and hardware, $4OO ; books and sta tionery, §4OO ; ordiuary repairs, $4OO ; jani itors and cleaning schools, §3OO ; salaries, §235; contingencies, §200; total expenses, §33,925— showing a probable balance in our favor at the close of the year of §075. As it appears evident that our increasing population will in a short time render ne cessary the providing of additional accom modations for the children, which will re quire tho purchase of more property and tho erection of additional school houses, we recommend tho assessment of a tux of 2 mills on the dollar for building purposes. This should produce, on the same calcula tion as that for ordinary expenses, an addi tional amount of §7,000. This is the first time such a tax has been levied in our dis trict, and ns a reason in favor of it f it may bo proper to state that much of the financial embarrassment of the board in former years, grew out of the fact that property was purchased and houses erected, either with money realized from loans, or out of tho funds raised by taxation for the current expenses of the schools. The amount may seem high, but if raised, it does not follow that it shall all be expended this year. The time appears to us to have nrrived when the Board should look around and secure suitable property for their future needs, while it can be had at reasonable prices. Some of our schools are quite too coustrain ed for want of sufficient grounds, and it is time that means were provided and meas ures taken to relieve them. Theie are also repairs and improvements necessary, far too expensive to be paid for out of tfro or dinary appropriation of three or four hun dred dollars for such purposes in each year, which if the meuus were provided lor, it might be economy to make now. Your committee counsel no extravagance, and will oppose all unnecessary expenses as sternly as they did when our treasury was suffering its greatest difficulties. Respectfully submitted, John W. Jackson, G. Zahm, May 3d, lsijij. Finance Committee. Accompanying tho report was the follow ing resolution, which was unanimously adopted: Resolved, That for the year commencing, with the Ist of June, 1301), the rate of taxa tion for ordinary school purposes in the Lancaster City School District; shall be as sessed six mills in the dollar valuation, and that an additional tax of two mills in tho dollar shall be assessed for building pur poses for the same period, on tho real estate of the district, and on all subjects of taxa tion at the rates fixed by law; and that to all persons who shall pay their tax on or before the 11th day of August in said year, an abatement of 5 per cent shall be allowed; after that date, and until the 10th day of November of the same year, the full amount will be required; and to all tax remaining unpaid ut that date, 5 per cent shall be udaed. The Committee on Soldiers’ Orphans re ported favorably on the applications of Elizabeth Scharloch, Jacob E. Rineer, Su san Rineer, and Mary D. Rineer, for educa tion and maintenance, and the report was adopted by tho Board. A letter containing the resignation of Wm. Whiteside, as a member oftheßoard; was read. A communication sigued by nearly all the teachers of the city, stating that they had learned that Mr. Whiteside contemplated resigning his position as a member of the Board of School Directors, and asking that he reconsider his determi nation in this matter, was also read, when on motion, it was resolved that Mr. W. be requested to withdraw his resignation. The request for the use ofonooftheßchool rooms for a writing school was not grant ed. Mr. Patterson offered the following pre amble nnd resolution, stating that he desir ed them to lay over to. the next meeting, in order to afford the members of the Board an opportunity to consider the matter. Whereas, It is the desire of the Board of School Directors to bring the pupils in tho High School, and especially the gradu ates thereof, up to tho nighest standard of efficiency in the programme of studies es tablished therein by the rules of the Board. Therefore, Resolved , That it is the judgment of the Board, that no general transfer of pupils in the Secondary Schools should be made to the High School, this year. After the reading of the resolution, mo tions to lay on the table, adjourn, postpone postpone indefinitely, postpone to the next meeting, Ac., were made. Discussions on points of order, Ac., followed, during which a motion for adjournment was twice called for and lost, the vote being taken by ayes and nays. Tho resolution was finally post poned to the next stated or special meeting, when the Board accounted to meet at the call of the President, for the purpose of re ceiving the report of the committee to whom was referred the matter of reporting upon the plan and place for the erection of a build ing for a Female Secondary School, with the probable cost thereof. Religious.— On last Sabbath evening the Right Rev. Bishop Bigler, of the Moravian Church, ordained as a Deacon of said Church, Francis William Krause of Bethlehem. The services were peculiarly Bolemn and im pressive, and were listened to with marked attention by a large andience. Previous to the ordination, the Bishop gave a brief his tory of the church, chiefly relative to its Episcopacy, a point upon which even mem bers of the church are not generally well informed. Mr. Krause leaves soon to take charge of the Home Mission atMorayia, lowa. Lancaster Horse Market, Monday, May 7th, IB6o.— The market during the past week has been considerably brisk, both in the way of arrivals and sales, which are as follows: Moryart' s.— 93 head on hand last Monday. The arrivals at the stables were 78 head, some of which wore Mr. W. Welsh, from Topeka, Kansas, with 3 head of superior thorough-bred Kentucky horses ; 21 head of fino young horses to Messrs. Sharp A Co. ; 22 head from Bedford county to James Stockman ; 10 head to George Grossman from same county, and 11 head to William Keysor from New* York. The sales and shipments amount to 94 head, leaving 77 head on band. We would advise those of our readers, who desire a good family horse, or a pair of excellent travelers, to call and look at those of Mr. Welsh’s as they aro three of tho fiuest unlmals we have over seen. Copeland d: Cline'a,— 32 head on hand last Monday. Tho arrivals were 54 head of good young horses bought up in tho county. Tho sulos and shipments amount to4B head, leuvlng 38 on hnnd. Centenary Celebration and Meet ing of Synod. —The one-hundroth anni versary of tho dedication of Triuity Luth eran Church, of this city, will bo celebrated with appropriate ceremonies on Sunday, the 10th of next June, on which occasion the church will be handsomely decorated.— A meeting of the Pennsylvania Synod of the Lutheran Church of Pennsylvania, will bo held in Trinity Lutheran Church, com mencing the same day, when the synodical sermon, adapted to the centenary anni versary, will bo preached by Dr. Schaeffer, President of tho Synod. A special session of the Synod will bo held at the same place, commencing on Thursday of the week pre vious. Tho anniversary of the dedication of the church fulls in May, but the time of its observance bus been fixed to suit that of the assembling of tho Synod, which has also been changed from May to June, on account of the meeting of the General Synod, which takes pluce in May. The Income Tax.—As the Assistant As sessors throughout tho country aro now busy assessing the Income of persons for the year ending December 31, 1865, we re publish the following for the benefit of our readers: The duties on incomes are payable within sixty days after the return of the schedule to the assessor—that is, on or before the 30th day of June. Tho incomo must be reckon ed for the year ending December 31,1865, and the tax is 5 per cent, on all sums be tween $6OO and $5,000, and 10 per cent, on the excess over $5,000. Thedeductions per mitted are: 1. The sum of $6OO from all incomes; 2. All national, State, county and mnnicipal taxes paid within the year, (in cluding the income tax paid last summer); 3. The amount paid for rent, or the rental value of any homestead occupied by the taxpayer or his family, in his own right or in the right of his wife ; 4. The amount paid for usual or ordinary repairs, taking the average of the proceeding five years. These are all the deductions that can bo made. The income tax is a lien upon property if not paid within the time fixed by law, and the collectors are invested with full powers to take legal proceedings for distraint and collection. The proper observance of the time and manner of payment will therefore save the taxpayer trouble. Enoch Arden; or “I’ll SailtheSeas Over.”— One of the prettiest songs wo have ever hoard is that of “I’ll sail the seas over,” founded upon incidents in the great poem of “Enoch Arden” by Tonnyson. We heard it sung last Summer by a beauti ful and accomplished young lady, whose charming vocalization was the theme of all -who listened to her, and we thought wo never heard anything so sweet either in music or words. It has often been our desiro to obtain and pub lish the words of the song for tholbeno flt of our readers, but until tho present time have been unsuccessful. Below will bo found the words of this tenderly beautl ful poetical effusion: Cheer up, Anhie darling, With hopeful emotion; To-inorrow our parting must be; I’ll sail the seas over, I’ll cross tho wide ocean, I’ll sail the seas over for thee. I will not forget thee. Ah never, no never, I cannot forget thee, I know, Thy smile, like a phantom, Shall haunt me forever, And cheer mo where e’er I may go. Cnoaus—Good-bye, Annie, darling, Break off from thy sorrow; ’Tis sad that our parting must be. I’ll sail the seas over, I’ll cross the wide ocean. I’ll sail the seas over for thee. I go, Annie, darling, But leave thee In sorrow, I go for thy sake far away; Then bid me good-bye With a smile on the morrow, And cheer me with blesslugs, 1 pray. I’ll think of thee ever, And pray for thee only, Ab over the waters I roam ; I’ll tarry not, darling, And leave thee all lonely, But hasten again to my home. (Chorus.) Out, out on the oceam Away o’er the billow, My heurt on its purpose still beut, My brow shall llnd rest, when I seek iny lone pillow,' Iu knowing that thou art content. Cheer up, Annie, darling ' Break on' from thy sorrow, ’Tin sad that our parting must he; But give me tny smile When I leave thee to-raorow, To 6all the seas over for thee. (Chorus. Tiik State Regimental Flags.— The Chairman of the Committee, Gen. Harry White,having in charge the reception oftbe State Regimental Flags, has announced the Committee. The member from this district is Col. Emlen Franklin, of the 122 d P. V. The following order for a meeting of tho committee has been issued by the Adjutant General of the State: llkadq’s Pennsylvania Militia, ) Harrisburg, May 2, 180(3. j The committee representing the several Military Divisions of the Commonwealth, appointed to assist the Governor in inaugu rating and conducting the ceremony of the Flag Reception , on the fourth day of July next, will meet, at the county court room, in the city of Philadelphia, on Saturday, the 12th of May, inst., at 12 o’clock, M., for the the purpose of making definite arrange ments lor tho occasion. By order of the Governor. A. L. RUSSELL, Adjutant General of Pennsylvania. A Great Demand for Mishler’s Bit ters. —We have frequently noticed in our columns the great demand for Dr. Mishler’s Celebrated Herb Bitters, and we are now pleased to add, that the demand, which is already immense, is rapidly increasing. As we passed by the establishment this morn iug, we observed some 30barrels and casks, ready for shipment to various portions of the country, leaving almost as many orders yet to fill. Among the number we noticed a ten-gallon cask, marked “ J. S. Mace, London,” which we presume must be taken as another convincing proof of the efficacy of the Bitters as a “ Blood Purifier.” Mr. Mace is awell-known prize-fighter, and for a long time wore the belt as the Champion. It is said that he has pronounced it to be an excellent article, and finds it to be a valua ble auxiliary in training. We also learn that the Bitters is now being used on board the Cholera Ship in New York Harbor. Temperance Con vention.— The County Convention of the Good Templar temper ance organization of this county will con vene in the ball over Gyger’s Banking House, Friday morning next, and continue in session during the day. In the evening a public temperance meet ing will be held in tho Court Hpuse. Sev eral distinguished divines will speak. Our popular townsman, Mr. John Hart, will read “ Barbara Frietchie” and recite “ The Moneyless Man,” and Prof. Hall will en liven the occasion with three or four of his sweetest songs. Death of an Old Stage Driver.— Old Himes Is dead. That good old soul. We ne'er shall see him more; He used to wear a long gray coat, All buttoned down before. The above lines are paraphrased from the parody on the death of “ Old Grimes,” and are applicable in the case of the demise of one of the best known and oldest stage drivers in Lancaster county. Mr. John Himes, for many years driver of a line of stages between this city and New Holland, died at his residence in the latter village on Friday last, and was buried in the Lancas ter Cemetery, in this city, on Sunday. How many years Mr. Himes followed the busi ness of staging we know not, but he was, unquestionably, one of the very oldest stage drivers in the State, being a man of about 70 years of age. He was known by perhaps every man, woman and child on the turnpike between Lancaster and New Holland, and the “ Eliza Ann,” of which he was the proud and successful conductor, carried more passengers probably than any other similar vehicle. But the old stage driver’s occupation is finished. No more will he handle the ribbons, crack the whip and use the “g’lang” of the “Jehu,” but his spirit is now, we trust, mingling with those of another and better -world, freed from the labors and cares of this life, and where the griefs and sorrows of stage drivers come not. “A Rose by any other Name Smells just as Sweet.— Just so; the people of Philadelphia claim to have found wbat has hitherto been unattainable—a faultless Cooking Stove. The “Barley Sheaf,” the cognomen of the popular favorite, according to the statement of reliable witnesses, is destined to astonish tho good housewives of the country with its admiral performances, and to command un enormous sale. There have been so many in “Complete Cooks,” “Housekeeper’s Ifriend,” otc., in tho market —all having their weak points—that should tho “Barley Sheaf’ really prove to be the “piuk of perfection,” the demand for it must soon be unlimited. Messrs. Stewart A Peterson are the Patentees and manu facturers. Miller’s Ice Cream Cuudy, put up in packages ut 10 cents each, is having an im mense sale in every quarter whore it lias been introduced. People w'ho want to buy should asked for Miller’s, for it is the best. Manufactured by Geo, Miller & Sons, 010 Market street, Philadelphia. An Interesting Report.— We have re ceived from our friend J. J. Spronger, Esq., a copy of tho “Report of the Commissioners appointed by the U. S. Brewers’ Associa tion to the U. S, Revenue Commission on tho Taxation and Manufacture of Mult Liquors, in Great Britain and on tho Con tinent of Europe.” The Commission con. sisted of Messrs. Frederick Collins of Phil, adelphin, Matthew Head of Now York, and Frederick Lnuer of Reading.—They ob tained full and accurate information of the Excise Laws of Europe appertaining to Malt Liquors, and in their published report of 48 pages throw out many valuable sug gestions. An interesting description is given of a number of the great breweries of England and the length of which precludes the possibility of our giv ing them to our readers. Tho report is also full of valuable statistical-matter, which has been prepared with much care.—The U. S. Brewers’ Association did a wise thing by appointing such a Commission, and tho work thereof could not have been entrustod to abler hands than those of Messrs. Collins, Read and Lauer. Parental Love. —There are few more beautiful thiugs in this life thanloveof par ents. It seems to be inhereut in every be iug; for we find this quality equally as strong in the lower, as in tho human ani mals. It is indeed a beautiful thing—this love of parents. Of course love of, and re ject for, parents, go baud in hand; as it would bo impossible to love a parent, with out the accompanying respect. A beauti ful instance of this species of love and re spect, came under the notice of the Cleve land Plaindcalcr a few days since. One of the heavy grocery houses in the city num bers among its myriads of customers, the provincial proprietor of a well-to-do country store. Early in the winter ho made a con siderable purohase of beans of the heavy grocery house. No payment was made on them at tho time; but no attention was paid to this fact, as the customer was considered good pay, and perfectly reliable. Nothing was heard from the purchaser of beans, until about the middle of March, when the gro cery merchant received the following letter from him: “ March , 1866. “dear sue:— mother died Jan. 26, father died feb. sth, but i don’t want no more beans at them figures. ” Just observe, for an instant, the love and respect lor purents, that is apparent in the abovo epistle! How thoroughly it “crops out!” Not even the cares and anxieties of business can make him forget the authors of his being; but ho must needs make touching mention of them, even in a busi ness note, upon the subject of beans. Medical Society of the State of Pennsylvania.— Owing to the difficulty of securing adequate accommodations in tho town of Kingston, selected for the next an nual meeting of the Medical Society of tho State of Pennsylvania, and in accordance with the wishes and request of the Luzerne County Medical Society, the meeting of tho State Society will bo held on Wednesday, tho 13th day of June next, at Wilkesbarre, the county seat of Luzerne county, and only one mile distant from Kingston. Delegates, upon arriving at Wilkesbarre, aro requested to report immediately at the office of the Wyoming Valley Hotel, where the committee of reception will be in at tendance. Efforts are making to secure commuta tion tickets over the various railroads lead ing from different points in tho State to Wilkesbarre. Successful Surgical Operation.—A most successful surgical operation was per formed on Monday of last week, by Dr. S. S. Davis, of the firm of Hartman & Davis, of Millersville, in presence of tho senior partner, on a child aged about 20 months, belonging to Mr. Spangler, of Pequea town ship. It seems the little one had picked up and attempted to swallow a grain of corn, but which passed into the windpipe and must have produced death not shortly removed. This was about 6 o’clock in the morning, and at 9i the Doctor was called in, who advised an operation and, Bet 2 p. m. as the time. Tho operation is that known among surgeons as Laryngo-trach eatomy, and is, literally, cutting the wind pipe open, the incision being made through the Larynx and extending to the Trachea. The grain of corn was extracted and is now in tho Doctor’s possession. The child is doing finely, is lively and playful, as if nothing had occurred to disturb its physical system, and totally unconscious of the dan gerous performance to which it had been subjected. The affair has naturally created quite an excitement in the vicinity, as well it might, few similar cases ever having transpired in the county. Suicide.— Mr. William Ailes, a well known citizen of Druinore township, tbiß county, and a brother of the celebrated Axe manufacturer, committed suicide by hang ing himself in his barn on Thursday last.— He had been laboring for some time past under mental derangement. The Very Thing.— Editors and other people who file their newspapers have long felt the want of the right sort of a file. At long last the desideratum has been supplied by Mr. Jacob Frick, of No. 614 North Third street, Philadelphia, whose improved File, patented August 29th, 1865, iB ffie most useful invention of the kind wo have ever seen.

The name of Private Miles O’Reilly Is as familiar to every soldier as any household word. We find In his paper, the New York Citizen, an article upon the state of the South, from which we make some pertinent extracts. It must be kept in mind that Colonel Halpine (better known to the literary public as Private Mite O’Reilly), who edits that journal, was one of the most brilliant officers in the Federalservice during the recent war. Heis better entitled, there fore, to speak of the conditions of peace than any of the vast horde of Radical scribblers, who having done their fight ing by proxy, are now anxious to op press and plunder the vanquished in person: If we are to contiuue a of representatives selected by the people, Jbn what principles can the representative* of one State dictate to another what class of representatives that people shall select ?•» In not one of the cotton States could a cor fjoral’s guard of men be found who were oyal to the Union throughout the war—or, if found, would also be found the very poorest and meanest kind of trash. All the true manhood of the South—let us frankly recognize the fact—was in the rebellion ; and to expect the Southern people per aaltuin to select as their representative in Congress some whey-faced, white-livered caitiff who stood aloof from their desperate struggle, is to demand that a whole people shall become hypocrites, and organize a lie to their own disgrace and injury. The men who led the South in war must load it in peace, or it willdriftwilhoutlead ine into anarchy. To say to the lately rebellious Stntes, “You are free to choose such representa tives ns you please, provided only that you select such men as we dictate, and these shall be men with whom you have not a sympathy in common,” is both an Injury and an insult. The recent war was con ducted on the theory that the Union still existed, and that any pretended acts of se cession were wholly null and void. On this theory our naval and military forces conquered, and if their success mount any thing, it meant that immediately on tho cessation of urmed resistance by evil com binations of men in tho Southern States, the Union wus restored in its integrity over every foot of our soil. Hut now, forsooth, the people of tho South are told that before thoy can bo allowed representation-in Con gress. they must ugreo to send none but men for whose capacious throats and indu rated stomachs the most nauseating politi cal boluses of tho Radical New England school will bo none too hot or too heavy! In the name of Heaven, uro there not enough votes in Congress to override the Southern vote,-in case it should seek to inllict uny injury on the republic? Why make any pretense of a. lowing representa tive government, it the choice shall be limited to men the most obnoxious, person ally and in politics, to the constituencies they are to make pretense of representing? Suppose John Minor Holts and Robert E. Lee candidates for Congress in any district of Virginia eust of the Hluo Ridge and south of Fairfax Court-house, which man would be the proper representative? Would not that district of ex-rebels deservo tho scorn and infamy of the world that could be so hungry for a seat in Congress us to make Mr. Hotts its choice, to the exclusion of the great soldier who so ably led the forces of Virginia and the South through many a bloody Held? In a word, it is better to have honest, well-born, wealthy and manly representa tives from the Southern States—gentlemen thoroughly commanding the confidence and respect of their constituencies; or shall we insist that a lying, craven, passionless, poverty-stricken scum of wretched rene gades shall be sent—men who could not in their own districts receive a hundred votes unless by fraud, and who, in their acquies cence in*the new order of things, will com mand no following or adhesion of their misrepresented constituents? Wc are for putting the best men of the South on guard in this crisis; and the best men, as a class, were those most active in the rebellion. They were faithful to a desperate cause, and will be not less faithful to the Union. Come, let us be frank. Would not ninety men out of every hundred men who fought most gallantly for the Union, have fought just as gallantly for the rebellion, if the ac cidents of their birth and residence had been reversed ? We speak of the warm-blooded combatant class ; not the unbelligerents of the Summer stripe, whose veins swell with equal parts of gas, gall, lymph and water. Taxation without representation is tyran ny, we cry, and yet the South is taxed with out a voice in Congress. How long shall this abnormal state of tilings continue? How long will the free intelligence of the Middle and "Western States accept, with the humility of whipped spaniels, tiie ruinous aud bigoted dictation of New England’s domineering Tartuffes—- that combination of selfish and unscrupulous avarice with pitiless and frenzied bigotry? The Burning of Columbia, S. C. In the United States Senate on Tues day last, Senator Johnson, of Maryland, read the following letter from General Wade 'Hampton on the subject of the burning of Columbia, the capital of South Carolina, on the day that General Sherman entered it with his army : Will Woods, Miss., April 21, To lion. Reverdy Johnson, United States Senate : Sib : A few days ago I saw in the pub lished proceedings^Cougresst hat a petition from Benjamin Itawles, of Columbia, S. C., asking compensation for the destruction of his house by the federal army in February, 18(J5, had been presented to the Senate, ac oompained by a letter from Major General Sherman. In this letter Genoral Sherman used the following language : “ The citizens of Columbia set fire to thousands of bales of cotton rolled out into the streets, and which were burning before we entered Columbia. I myself was in the city as early as nine o’clock, and I saw these fires and knew , that efforts were made to extinguish them, but a high and strong windkept them alive. “ I gave no order for the burning of your city, but on the contrary tho conflagration resulted from the great imprudence of cut ting tho cotton bales, whereby the contents were spread to the winds, so that it became an impossibility to arrest the fire. “ I saw* in your Columbia newspaper tho printed order of General Wade Hampton, that on tho approach of the Yankee urmy all the cotton should thus bo burned, and from what I saw myself I have no hesita tion in saying that fio was the cause of tho destruction of your city.” Tho same charge, made against me by General Sherman, having been brought be fore the Senate of the United States, I am naturally most solicitous to vindicate my self before tho same tribunal. But my State has no representative in that body. Those who should be her constitutional represen tatives and exponents there are debarred the right of entrance intothose halls. There are none who have the right to speak for the South, none to participate in the legislation wtyieh governs her, noneto imposethetaxes she is called upon to pay, and none to vin dicate her sons from misrepresentation, in justice, or slanders. Under these circumstances I appeal to you iu the confident hope that you will use every effort to see that justice is done in this matter. I deny emphatically that any cotton was ‘fired in Columbia by my order I deny that the citizens “set fire to thou sands of bales rolled out into tho streets.” I deny that any cotton was on fire when the federal troops entered the city. I most respectfully ask of Congress to ap point a committee charged with the duty of ascertaining and reporting all the facts connected with the destruction of Columbia nud thus fixing upon the proper author of that enormous crime the infamy he richly deserves. I am willing to submit the case to any honest tribunal. Before any such, I pledge myself to prove that I gave a positive order by direction of General Beauregard, that no cotton should be fired; that not one bale was on fire when General Bhermap’s troops took possession of the city; that he promised protection to the city, and that in spite of nis promise he burned the city to theground, deliberately, systematically, and atrocious ly. * I therefore most earnestly request that Congress may take prompt and efficient measures to investigate this matter freely. Not only is this duo to themselves and to the reputation of the United States army, but also to justice and to truth. Trusting that you will pardon me for troubling you. I am, very respectfully, Your obedient servant. . Wade Hampton. What Ketchum is Doing. A New York correspondent writes thus of young Ketchum: For the satisfaction of those who wish special Information concerning this un foitunate young man, we state that he Is serving as book-keeper in the shoe shop at Bing Sing State Prison ; that his behavior has won the good will of all about him; that he breakfasts in his cell, but is allowed to eat dinner and supper in the work-room with the fore man and outside helpers, who bring their dinners with them, atwhich meals he has the best of fare ; that his parents and wife come often to see him, that he receives and answers many letters, and that the prospect is that he will come out better fitted for business than ever, and then have his revenge on Wall street. He is not confined to the rule of silence generally maintained in prison, but is allowed every possible privilege, being looked on as the victim of cir cumstances rather than as a studied malefactor. Confession of Probst Antoine Probat, the murderer of the Deerlng family has made a full confes sion, admitting that he had no accom plice, and giving a detailed account of the manner in which he killed hts victims.

Pendleton, of Cincinnati, the wife of one of the glorious standard bearers of Democracy, and whom the nation delightß to honor.
