Council:
Mayor’s Office, Lancaster, May 1.
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.

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

would be compelled to shut up their engine
house, and might as well set fire to their

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,

Topeka, Kansas, with 3 head of superior
thorough-bred Kentucky horses ; 21 head of

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.

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

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 inventor, through Mr.
Henry Frankeof this city, hospresentedus
with one of these files, and we find it to be
just the thing.

What Private Miles O’Bellly Says.
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. '
, Among the contributions to the South
ern Relief Fair at Baltimore was the
sum of $lB3O in cash, received from
Mrs. Geo. H. Pendleton, of Cincinnati,
the wife of one of the glorious standard
bearers of Democracy, and whom the
nation delightß to honor. This elegant,
accomplished and noble-hearted lady
raised the amount named in a very short
time amid a circle of friends, whose
hands are always ready with material
aid to relieve suffering humanity.—
These acts of Christian love and charity
invoke the pralsesof every right-minded
person, and glorify the record of the
illustrious statesman whose name she
bears as well as her own.

A NEW AND GRAND EPOCH IN MEDICINE!
Dr. Magglel Is the founder of a new Medical Systeml
The quantitarians, whose vast internal doses enfeeble
the stomach and paralyze the bowels, must give pre
cedence to the man who restores health and appetite,
with from one to two of his extraordinary Fills, and
cures the most virulent sores with a box or so of his
Wonderful and all-healing Salve. These two great
specifics of the Doctor are fast superseding all the
stereotyped nostrums of the day. Extraordinary cures
by Magglel’* Pills and Salve have opened the eyes of
the public to tbe inefficiency of the (so called) remedies
of others, and upon which people have so long blindly
depended. Maggiel’s Pills are not of the class that
are swallowed by the dozen, and of which every box
ful taken creates an absolute necessity for another,
wDne or two of Maggiel’s Pills suffices to place tho
bowels In perfect order, tone the stomach, create an
appetite, and render the spirits light and buoyant!
There ls no griping, and no reaction in the form of
constipation. If tho iiver is affected, Its functions are
restored; and If the nervous system Is feeble, it is in
vigorated. This last quality makes the medicines very
desirable for the wants of delicate females. Ulcerous
and eruptive diseases are literally extinguished by the
disinfectant power of Mogglel’s Balve. In fhet, It Is
here announced that Magglel’s Bilious, Dyspeptic and
Diarrhea Fills cure where all others foil, While for
Burns, Scalds, Chilblains, Cuts and all abrasions of
tbe skin Magglel’s Salve Is infallible. Sold by J.
