[Special Correspondence ot Tbe Press.] T .
Hospoii. Ta., Jaiunyisoß,: '
On Monday of last week the colored population
of Newborn had a grand jubilee, celebrating the
anniversary of the emancipation, proclamation.
The North Carolina Times hasa significant editorial
-upon It, In which the following true and forci
ble language Is found:
“ It Is right and proper that the day and the man
should be thus respected by a soli which has long
been made to harden to the passions and to Increase
the wealth of the white masters. The man whe
struck the fetters from their limbs, and the day on
which the deed was done, will ever be remembered
by tbe colored race as marking a new era In their
history, and by the white race as a new stand-point
from which future greatness and grandeur will
surely follow.
, “ The rebellion wag in tts full vigor, when, as a mi
litary measure, the emancipation proclamation was
issued. 'We are glad that Honest Abe had the
nerve to grapple with the-issue, and to manfully
meet it. The poor, black Union man was at once
elevated to the high position of an American free
man. Through the proclamation a new era has
been opened to the whole South. Free labor will
cause Che South to bloom and blossom like an Eden.
The large landholders will be compelled by circum
stances to out up their townships into small planta
tions, and the new freemen will in turn become the
ownerß of a portion. In this transition from a state
of abject degradation to a totally new sphere, these
Anglo-Aftleans have shown a praiseworthy spirit
and determination to help themselves. They have
entered into the work with a vim. Many of them
have hired abandoned lands, and raised their corn,
cotton, produce, naval stores, made shingles, and
entered into various branches of Industry; showing
a spirit worthy of imitation Jby the ‘poor white
trash.* While the colored freemen have been thus
eager in the pursuit of gain, they have not been un
mindful of this lack of knowledge. Starting upon
a new epoch, they were conscious that their child
ren were destined to move In a different path
ftom the rugged one In which they ‘had so long
travelled.*»
Then the editor goes on to explain the manner of
the celebration, which was a grand affair, but its
transference to y our columns would be of no special
interest to your readers. I quote the above edito
rial to show bow the cause ef the blaek man is pro
gressing in the “Old North State.” Truly, the
times have changed, when any newspaper can
speak so boldly where but a short time before cer
tain death would have been the result .of an advo
cacy one-tenth as bold. Speakingof newspapers, re
minds me that the Old Dominion, the organ of civil
law.ln this city, has taken the part of The Press In
the recent discussion between it and tho Inquirer.
I had not .seen the article until Monday last, bnt It
appeared on Saturday and oreated a great sonsa
tionjn Norfolk, whore the Inquirer circulates, 1 pre
sume, about seventy-five copies. Hereto'the artiole;
A Newspapbe Fight.—A fleroo newspaper war.
Is waging between tbe Philadelphia Press and la. '
quirer, of the same olty. The Press to ahead; ah It i
always to. The Inquirer lives and thrives upon
canard, one half of- which ace palmed upon the
people as true accounts of things that have never
4, i® .proprietor, claims
the circulation of the Inquirer to be over sixty thou
sand, while In reality It to not over twenty thousand.
Every literary man in the country knows the posl
ticn of The, Press to beone of honor, respectability,
and great usefulness 51 as a literary journal, it has but
one equal, the New York Post: while Its editors and
general conductors are men of standing and worth
In society, men who are educated for their positions,
and who maintain them for life. In the Inquirer ii
Is just the Other way. We do not presume there to
a man In the office that receives a salary* of
twenty dollars per week, from the ohler editor
down to the merest devil. Saving of mosey, with -
an Intense desire to show liberality, to tee predomi
nant feature of the proprietor or that paper. We
■ will wager ons thousand doiiabs that vie pay our
first assistant editor a higher salary than that received
by the iditor-in-chief of the Philadelphia Inquirer.
as this is a day of challenge, we hope Mr. Harding
will accept Issue. We happen to know the conduc
tors of both papers, and are qualified to judge of
their merits. The editor of tee literary department
of The Press receives mere salary than any three of'
the editors of the Inquirer. The character of The
Press shows for Itself; It is open and above board.
It cuts deeper than the cuticle when It desires to
show the people any breakers, while the oowedng
Inquirer, for fear of losing a few of Its cheap Sub
scribers, floats along, regardle* of the will or
wishes of the people. The Press to On file in our
office, and can be examined at anytime. The In
quirer, with a few nnedueated boys, pieaseß the
masses, but tee Intelligent and reading people of f
Philadelphia take their favorite Press. I
The article closes with giving the various rewards
that were purported to have been given by The
Press, bnt which I have not seen.
The latest sensation that has taken the people of
Norfolk by storm Is that* of the removal of Major
General Butler, tee late commandant of the Depart
ment of Virginia and North Carolina. I have been
suspeoting it for two months past, and gave you
the very first inkllngß of it, for It haß not been a
secret that the Hon. Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary
of War, has been bitterly opposed to him. Nearly
all of his orders he has countermanded, and has
shown a very patent dislike to him. Why this was
Ido not pretend to know. On Sunday last It leakda
out among those who know the upper ropes of our
great military concern, that he was positively to he
removed, If, indeed, the order had not already been
Issued to that effect. On Monday it was denied,
but on the evening of teat day It received a
tangible shape, and the order of General Grant
relieving General Butler was received In this
elty. There to only one class of persons that re
joloe in this removal; and yon may well judge who
that Jclass Is, The Secesslontota are as lively as
they can well be, and proper measures must at once
be taken to avoid any trouble. Bote the newspa
pers are ont in leaders advising the people to he
calm, and to await tee action of the incoming gene
ral. Whatever may be said against General But
ler, only one thing can be said In hto favor, and teat
is, he was a lover of his country, and sacrificed
everything on its altar. He was loved by all open-I
hearted, honest .Union men, and despised by the'
very opposite class of our society. General Ord,|
who takes temporary oommand. is well known as at
oomnfander In the Army of the james, as an officer
of sterling ability and uncompromising Integrity.
It to known that Gencralßurnslde will rooSfve the!
command In a short time, when he will, In turn,
relieve General Ord. General Devins will be ap
pointed in tbeplace of General Shapley, who natr

holds the r&lnaof Government fa Norfolk. Groat
efloits are fei'ng made to retain General Shepley,
but lie wllliardlybe able to maintain his position
against the Outside pressure in favor of Devins.
The removal of General Shepley Is a source of
profound regret,'for be’ la a. man of rare qualities,
both ns a gentleman and a soldier. I know those
who have lived In Norfolk for nearly ten years, and
muat.oaudldjysay that It has never been In a better
condition than' It Is this very day. To General
Sbepley .be all the praise. The General Is expected.
In Norfolk t»-day,to make arrangements to turn
over the puffiffimoneys to his successor, General
Ord. Tie General, it is thought, will rest.'a few
weeks, after which he will take a command in Ken
tucky. It will be remembered that the people of
that section-have been very anxious'to secure his
services, and the only difficulty In the way of ids ap
pointment will be -the .position which he Is to hold.
He outranks General Sherman, and also General
Thomas, neither of which officers would allow But
ler to take a, prior command; and as'to the mlll
tary governorship of Kentucky, It has been said.that
ho has ln official circles here en
tirely opposedtotaklng such a position. It will be,
a complicated affair for the War Department, but
their wlsdoni will undoubtedly make all things
right. - '.' •:

were statistics—its 'population numbered thirty
thousand souls k but to si ay not more than “two
thirds of that number oould be mustered in or out.
Ko city of the'rebellion has contributed more
lavishly to the support of a wicked war; and, as the
fruits thereof, none is more humiliated, or humble,
or sad. On the street, at churoh, or in the drawing
room, nearly every lady yon meet is dressed in black
—love’s sack-ototh and ashes for the lost! The peni
tence of a thief, who has been caught stealing snoop,
and sentenced to' tho penitentiary for life, for his

with heart-rending variations to the ignorant mud
sills of the North.! The citizens are representatives
of Europe, Asia, Africa, and Oceanioa as well as of
America, and thetnumber of languages spoken In
Savannah*is astonishing. It is hut justice to the ’
Americans to remark that of all others they are tbe'
most loyal. The British, subjects (of mental delu-,
slon) are the most bitter enemies of the Union, of
the flag; of the arifi?. The olty plot Is as remarks-:
ble as the effect of It Is enchanting. The streets
run parallel throughout, the length and breadthof
the city, and on every street there Is a perfect
square, with lts llttle park, enclosed with Iron rail-'
togs, when the trees put on the robes of spring,
and the flowers open to the light of Its sun L these
• parks beoome fragrant bowers, full of singing birds
and of floral offerings. There are thirty of these
parks or squares"to the city- -South Broad street,
In Savannah, is the most beautiful, with Its four
rows of sycamores, and live oaks, and, magno
lias; and Its lawn of green in -the eentre. Bull
street Is tbe most fashionable, as It Is the one
whioh leads to" Forsythe Place; "and the monu
- monte, and the many churches are on that street, a
fact that the young ladles do not fbrget when they
indulge to a promenade. Jones street is the most
aristocratic, so tor as private residences and ele
gant surroundings are concerned, and no doubt It
represents as much wealth as any other. Bay
street Is the avenue of business to the olty, and
•where the cotton -merchants had their walMur
nlshed counting-rooms and warehouses. It runs
parallel with the river, and commands splendid
views in South Carolina. The whole olty Is Im
ported ;‘the manufacture of mechanics and mer
chants from the North and old world. It has a
town-clock, an organized fire department, and Is not
without gas-light. The public buildings, the ware- 1
houses, the depots, and many of the private resi
dences will compare with thOBO of New York or
Washington. ’
Though there are other beauties distinguishing
the olty above all others of the South, among those
that have a peculiar charm arethe cemeteries. All
have equal malms, but we have room for descrip
tions of only two.
West of the olty, and the receptacle of Its dead,
is the Laurel Grove Cemetery, It Is a holy place:
beautiful to Its wealth of living trees and blooming
flowers, and there are many honored graves within
Its pale. Among them Is the tomb of Bov". Dr.
Neuvllle, a celebrated Episcopal minister of Christ
Church; Hon. John M. Berrien, a member ol Jack
son’s Cabinet and a United States Senator from
Georgia: Judge Bobert M. Charlton, at one time
Judge of the Superior Court, and a member of the
Senate at Washington, and many other men illus
trious in thelf day. Mrs. Charlton, a beautiful
woman, carries the freshest flowers of the morning
to her husband’s grave, each day when the weather
Efts, and strews them there with her own fair
" While bitter tears flow freely down
The cbeeha he u; ed to love so well. ’ ’
And there Is a handsome monument, erected over
the remains of General Francis S. Bartow, of Sa
vannah, whe was killed at the first battle at Ma
nasßas, and brought home for burial. A brave man,
no doubt, he was, and ehlvalric he may have been;
but now that he fills a traitor’s grave, it ought to
be so marked, If marked at all.
, About four miles from Savannah, on thoYemon
river, lying east of the city, Is Bonaventure Ceme
tery, the most weird place I ever visited. It In
cludes ten aores of law; is overgrown with live
oak, the limbs of which are hung with Spanish
moss; and the drooping evergreens, the mournful
shade, the grass-grown graves, murmuring river,
. and the grand, gloomy, and peculiar surroundings,
combine to make Bonaventure the most irretrleva
bly dismal spot in the world. In attestation of the
foot allow me to tell you that a few years ago a
young minister, whose name were better withheld,
came down from the North, harito® lost his health
there, and was experimenting on the virtues of the
climate to the South, While at Savannah he wan
dered about oarelessly, and one day chanced to stum
ble Into Bonaventure Cemetery. The very weird
ness of the place, and the sickening, sinking Influence
of its air, so wrought upon his feeling, that he took off
his coat and vest, tore open his shirt bosom, wrote a
note to his friends, jumped Into the sighing river,
when tostantlyjthe waters closed over him forever.
The man who laughed to Westminister Abbey at
-midnight’s awful hour would weep, and tremble,
like an aspen leaf. In Bonaventure Cemetery. Ic
■ was formerly owned by the Tatnall family, relatives
of Commodore Tatnall, of the rebel navy, but It Is
now the property or Mr. W. H. Wiltberger, of Sa
, Jn Monterey 'Square, and where the lamented
nobleman-fell, there Is a beautiful monument erected
-to the memory of Count Pulaski, of the Bevolutlon,
The stone is the purest Italian marble, and the In
scriptions thereon are appropriate and classical.
In Johnson Square there is a monument erected to
the memo# or General Nathaniel Greene. Both
of these monuments are enolosed with iron ratlings,
and their corner-stoneß were laid by Lafayette on
the Hst day of March, 182 S, while he was on a visit
to urn olty. Ornamental and Instructive as they
are, no rude hand should deface the monuments or
do aoght to mar the consecrated rest of the Ulus
trious dead. " ;. -
/ INCIDENTS ttF THE WAB.
Fotm Milks ahd Ebpeat—Close Hack. —Tho
Chattanooga Gazetle, oI December 30th,-says: Pas
sengers who came in on tee Kinggold train, yester
day.evening, inform ns that a email party of Fades. ;
ral scouts, seven in nnmber, went oat from teat
, place in the morning bn professional business, and
after proceeding a few miles discovered a couple of
rebels, perhaps bn the same business. Federate
thought they were sufficiently strong, and conclu
ded they would make dose examination of rebel
craft., Bebelts discovered what was up, and “got
up, and dusted,” making 2.40 time for about four
miles,-when, on approaching a thick undergrowth,
the .pursuers were taken all aback by discovering
-somerfifteen or twenty graybacks step out of the
bushes to their front, with rather a belligerent air,
wbpi Yanks, happening to think discretion the bet
ter.-part of valor, wheeled their, horses, and made
splendid time baokto Binggold, closely pursued by
the rebß, only saving thelr dlstance and their “ ba
con.” We did not learn to what command tee gray
backs belonged, but Buppose they are a portion of
the gang that has been stealing and murdering
through that section for some time past. When tee
train left, tho scouts had all got in except one. It
wes not known whether he had been oapturedor
not.
Ah Ikoidbht oh Davidboh’s Haul— A “friend”
sends the New Orleans Era tee following amusing
incident of General Davidson’s late raid through
Es beldom: “ During the late raid, which left Baton
Bouge under General Davidson, the 2d Illinois Ca
valry, commanded by the lieutenant colonel, was
ordered toprecede the main body into Frankiinton.'
Abbot, two miles west of the town there to a road
coming into the Tanglpaho road from the south, and
just as the regiment reached the junction there was
a wedding party coming Into tee road from the
south. The party consisted of the bride and groom,
lour officers and Soldiers of the rebel army, and five
ladies.' Seeing the ‘graybaebsp the colonel of the
2d ordered them to haft, upon which the party
turned, to .run, when the colonel commanded the
advance of hto regiment to fire and give chase,
when the firing began the ladles placed themselves
between the contending parties, and tee Illinoisans,
being too gallant to fire upon the ladies, had no
alternative bnt to run the rebsdown. The ohase
lasted for two miles, and. resulted In the capture of
the entire party except the bride. Sbe straightened
Serself in the. saddle, put whip to her horse, and
intran the squadron, when the party was brought
nto the town, the oommanding officer offered the
bridegroom to wait for him to send for the bride and
finish the wedding, if he desired, but the offer was
very politely declined.”
Thh Tremdenblatt of Vienna states that as some
sportsmen were out'a few days ago at Hutteidorf,
near tee capital, shooting, the dogs started a hare,
which ran towards. tho edge or the wood, where
several fired at It, bnt without effect, and It eon U-.
nued its course; ami soon after,-to tee great sur
prise ol Its pursuers; ollmbedup a tree with extraor

highest branches. A well-directed shot, however,
brought the animal flown, and, on examination, it
turned ont to be a oat, wbteh some wag had inge

English Comments on American AJLitrs.
GEKEBAX DIX’S OEDBB.
The London Daily News of the 2?th nit., alter
rehearsing the successes of the Union armies to the
17th, then just received,, to England, commeats as
follows upon the order of General Dix:
That these achievements should have altogether
turned away the attention of the public from the
resultof the liberation of the “raiders’’ In Canada
was, however, not to be expected, Thera 1b to the
comments of the American papers on the subject
some of that hasty generalization of which our
own press has nob been guiltless, In which the un
authorized and unapproved aot of an individual te
imputed to the nation and to the Government.
General Dlx, who Is in command of the military
defence, has re-issued a formal order, authorizing
his troops to shoot any parsons who may attempt
to make again such an attempt, and If they should
. escape, to pursue and seize them In Canada. The
former part of the order we Are not concerned
with, though we may observe that It Is one fully
justifiable If the “raiders’’ are. regarded as belli
gerents, but quite contrary to law and custom If
they are looked upon as mere robbers. The second
part of the order, we may hope, will not be sanc
tioned by the superior civil authority. That plea
which could alone warrant it, the refusal of the
Canadian Government to administer justice and
observe the duties of alii eg, has happily no founda
tion to Tact. The Ministry has, on the contrary,
lost no lime in disavowing the decision of Judge
OoursoL The Attorney General has issued fresh
warrants, and the police are again endeavoring to
arrest the discharged criminals. The Government is
reported to have already appointed stipendiary ma
gistrates on thefrontier,expressly to take cognizance
of. the breaches of International law, and to have
furnished them with sufficient polioe force to sup
port their authority. The Legislature has also
been summoned to meet on tbe 19th of January.
These measures will probably, as soon as they are
known to the public, suffice to remove
a natural Irritation. But we must repeat that
their vigorous execution Is a duty we owe to
ourselves even more than to our neighbors. * We
are bound to show the example of doing as we
would be done by, and as we have in former
limes uttered keen ramonstranoes, and.even re
sorted to actual force, when an enemy used neutral
soil to prepare machinations against us, It Is
Imperative that we should now vindicate our
fair dealing and maintain our 'friendly cha
racter by prohibiting absolutely the abuse of
our protection for the purpose of directing treache
rous violence against the Inhabitants' of a border
ing and allied State. We should expect France to
do thus mneh for us If we were unhappily at. war
with America, .and Americans plotted and directed
from Calais expeditions to sack Brighton or hunt
Hastings. Aud it is clear that what wc should re
gard as the duty of France to such a case would be
still more her duty If the war were made upon our
seaboard, not by a foreign nation, but by a portion
of our own subjects to revolt. This la the American
case at present, and there must be no hesitation In
our doing'to them tbe justice which we should look
for from every friendly Power If the ease were our
own. .
JOSEPH BASEBB AHD THB PEACE ADpBESS.
, Deferring to the statemenipublisked In the Ame
rican papers, that Mr. Joseph Barker, the English
Abolitionist, was the bearer of the gigantic peace
address to thls country, the Hews says:
“ The peace address lately forwarded from Eng
land to tee United States, and which'Mr. Seward
deollned to receive, preserves all tee mysterieusness
of Its origin. Why it was drawn up, and by whom
It was signed, was never clearly explained. The
most tangible statement publloly made respecting
it was that It bad been carried to America by Mr.
- Joseph Barber, well known on both sides of the At
lantic aa a public lecturer. Hast Monday we
saw in the Manchester Examiner .a statement
that Mr Barker was still In this country,
and had been delivering a lecture, at Heeds,
In which, referring to some newspaper re
ports about him, he said: “The purport of the last
story to, that I went on a mission to Amerloato
present a peace petition or document to the Govern
ment ; thaH for fear of conseqnenoes, I went under
an assumed name, calling myself Joseph Barker,
Instead of Joseph Barker; that I have abandoned
my anti-slavery principles, and I do not know what.
The whole Is a tissue 01 pure fabrication and wioked.
slanderous Bos. I have not been out of England for
the last five years, except onoe to Guernsey. I have
never been the agent of the Southern rebels, and I
have never gone against my anti-slavery princi
ples.”
We read this -paragraph with surprise. We
have certainly heard a great deal before now of
the name of Barker In connection with a pro-
Southern agitation In the North of England. It
was plain, then, that a mistake as to Identity had
been made. Yesterday, before we had had time to
eomplete our inquiries, we recelveda letter from Mr.
Joseph Barker himself, complaining that we had
given publicity to fatoe, calumnious statements con
cerning him; stating that he had nothing to do with
the mission, to Washington, and, of course, not with
the change of his name to Parker; that he was stUl
opposed to slavery, and had not beenoutof England
for two years.

The Magazines.
From W. B. Zieber, 106 South Third street, we

of average merit. The first Is “ Commercial Phi.

a well written personal sketch of home Accidents
and foreign travel, amnsing to a degree, and fail of
information, too; the third "upon “The late John

sonal friends, and himself a character, In his way.
"We also have Blackwood? 8 Magazine from Mr.
Zieber. Cornelius O’Dowd continues his oddly
sensible and ever ebrewd comments upon “all the
world and the rest of mankind." A further portion
of “Tony Butler ” is given; there is a closing
disquisition about the pbUlc schools of Bag
land, an account of a vacation excursion in Ger
many, and a very one-sided narrative, by an English
officer, of his year’s residence in rebeldom, the pro
sent portion deecritlng the defeat of the rebels at
Gettysburg In July, 1868. The regulations at the
Horse Guards, London, which permit an English
cavalry officer to romain for twelve months among
the rebels must bo rather singular, and scarcely In
consonance with Queen "Victoria’s neutrality pro
clamation.

A Prophet—Havu thePbopeb op Brooklyn
one Among Them t—The Brooklyn Union of Monday
afternoon says: About the middle of tills forenoon,
the ears of the passers-by to Pulton street were sa
luted with a sound strange and foreign. A man
squarely built and a little below the medium height,
came off the ferry-boat, shouting or rather singing
to a peculiar monotone—clear, metallic, and rhyth
mic, not unlike the tone of the minister of the So
ciety of Friends—the following singular sentence:
“ The day of wrath and of vengeanoe Is coming,
and woe unto them that give suck to those days."
The man would proceed a lew Bteps, pause, and,
looking around and up at the windows, as if to pro
claim nig warning to all within hearing, would re
peat the sentence. There was. nothing out of the
way to his appearance, save a eettlpdwarnestness to
his brown eyes, and a compression of the lips, which,
with the lower part of his face, were covered with a
grizzled beard, streaked with gray. He passed
through a number of the streets, and recrossedsthe
Fulton ferry.about X o’clock, In con venation .wttto
him on the ferry-boat, our reporter learned that-lie
was an Englishman by blrtb, though a resident of
this country now nearly forty-years. His. name is
Ashcroft,'and he lives to Jersey City. He was tonner
lyamember of -the Socletyof Friends or Quakers,
a society which, he says, now exceeds aft others to
the pride and obstinacy of their hearts and their at
tachment to rigid and senseless forms. He regards
hlmsoir as having a mission to perform, a prophetic
note of warning to sound to a corrupt and imperiled
generation, Helookß forward, as he.assured our
reporter, with great earnestness to a religious war,
taught to apprehend It by the spirit of truth, and
what ha sees around him; and he especially trem
bles for the awful visitations which await the wives
and mothers of the nation. He Is sure that we de
serve all that we will get os a people, and wishes his
voice to he heard “as of one crying aloud to the
wilderness.”. His language was singularly pure
and forcible, and he quoted frequently from Scrip
ture, if Ith which he seemed to be very familiar.

The urgent demand for Government loans, noted In
