the war. All like them may now see
that these passions are costly indulgences

THE AMNESTY PROCLAMATION
THE VIRGINIA MERCHANTS WANT THE
520,000 CLAUSE REPEALED.
Interview Between President Johnson
and Merchants.
THE FORMER IN FAVOR OF ITS RETENTION
WAlSismorow, July 9.—President Johnson was
'Waited on yesterday by Messrs. James A.
Jones, It. A. Lancaster, William IL
and J. L. Apperson, representatives of the
merchants and others of Virginia, who wished
him to amend the amnesty proclamation by
striking out the 13th exception, the $ . 20,000
clause. They represented that this feature in_
terfered with the development of industry by
binding up capital, and in this way oppressed
the poor 5 and that, when they endeavored to
borrow money in the Northern or Middle
States, they were at one° Met by the objection
that perhaps they had over $90,000, and if they
had, the accommodation could not be extended
to them. The President reminded them that
the amnesty proclamation did not cause this
distrust, but it was the commission of treason
and the violation of law that did it. The am.
nesty proclamation left these men just where
They were before. It did not add any disa
bility to them. If they had Committed trea
son -thek were amenable to the confiscation
law which Congress had passed, and which
he, as President, could not alter nor amend.
-in the amnesty proclamation he had offered
Pardon to some persons, but that did not in
jure 'any other persons. Would they like to
have the amnesty proclamation removed alto
g,ellrert Would they feel any easier in that
easel
One of the deputation said ' , no; but it would
assist us very much if you would extend the
benefit of the proclamation to persons worth
over $20.000.'7
The President replied that, in making that
exception, he had acted on the natural suppo
sition that men had aided the rebellion ac
cording to the extent of their pecuniary
means. Did they not know tidal One of the
deputation replied he did not know it.
The President answered : Why, yes,you do;
you know perfectly well it was the wealthy
men of the South who dragooned the people
into secession. I lived in the South, and I
know bow the thing was done. Your State
was overwhelmingly opposed to secession, but
your rich men used the press andbullied your
little men to force the State into secession.
Take the $20,e00 clause. Suppose a man is
worth more than that, now the war is over,
and the chances are ten to one that he made
it out of the rebellion by contracts.
"We may as well talk plainly alma this mat
ter. I don't think you are so very anxious
about relieving the poor. You want this el anSC
removed so as to enable you to make money,
lion , / Tout If you are very eager to help the
poor, why don't you take the surplus over the

way, yorrwill help them, and bring yourselves

free to say to you that I think some of you
ought to be taxed on all over $20,000 to keep
the poor. When I was Military Governor of
Tennessee I assessed such taxes on those whO
Lad been wealthy leaders of the rebellion, and
it had a good effect»
One ofthe deputation said, "It so happens
that none of us were leaders. We stayed out
as long we eduld, and were the last to go into

went in last were among the worst after they
got in, but be that as it may. Understand me,
gentlemen, I do not say this personally.
lam just speaking of the general working of
the matter. I know there hats been an effort
milOng some to persuade the people that the
amnesty proclamation was injuring them by
shutting up capital and keeping work from
the poor. It does no such thing. If that is
done at all, it is done in consequence of
. the
violation of law, and the commission of trea
son?'
The President concluded by saying that he
would look at the pape..s they presented, but
so far he had 90011110 reason for removing the
11th exception.

THE CONSPIRACY.
CONFESSION OF ATZEROTT,
He Denies Being in the Plot to Murder,
THE ORIGINAL PLOT TO ABDUCT
THE PRESIDENT,
TEE CONSPIRATORS PAIL TWICE IN ITS
EXECUTION.
Harold Assigned, at the Last Moment, to Kill
President Johnsen.
Dr, Aludd and Mrs. Suratt Acquainted with
Booth's Original Intentions,
BALTIMORM, July 9.—The American has re
ceived a special report of the confession of
Atzerott, which was prepared by one who has
jinown him Ow his arrest. The details of the
plot to abduct and murder the rresident,
'which are set forth below, were given to the
author by Atzerott himself but a short time
before his death.
George Andrew Atzerott was born in the
Kingdom of Prussia, in 1835, and.canie to Ame
rica, with his parents, in ISA They arrived
M Baltimore, at which place he resided, with
his family, for about one year, when, with his
parents, he moved to AlreStallOrOlanh county,
Virginia. Iris father farmed, and carried on
his•business (that of blacksmith,) at the Court
house. Atzerott was placed as an apprentice
to the coach-making business at the Court
house, where he learned the painting branch,
and remained until 185 e, when he went
to Washington, and worked for Young, and
also for McDermott, well-known coftehmakerS.
In 1857 he joined his brother in the coach"
maker's business at Port Tobacco. This continu
ed forsfour years, when the firm was dissolved.
After this be carried on painting, in Port To
bacco, until last fall he met with John H. Su.
ratt anti a man named Hurloni. Sundt induced
him to join him in the conspiracy of abductina.
the President. From Atzerott's knowledge of
men and the country in the vicinity of Port
Tobacco, and in fact of all the eountiesborder
ing on the Potomac, he gave to the conspira
tors a :valuable assistance. .
He was well ac
quainted with Harold, whom he was not long
hi finding out, and who was also engaged' in
the conspiracy. Suratt went several times to
Port Tobacco, and often sent for Atzerott to
come to Washington, where he was known to
as many as in Port Tobacco, and was looked
upon as a very weak-minded man, in fact, as a
very brainless and silly fellow.
Surat introduceed Atzerott to Booth, who
feasted him and furnished him with money
and horses, the horses being held in the name
of Suratt, who appeared to be the principal in
the absence of Booth. The first meeting of all
conspirators actively engaged was at a saloon
on Pennsylvania avenue, called "Getteers."
[Gautiersl] At this meeting O'Laughlin,
Arnold, Suratt, Booth, and Atzerott - were
present. The first attempt to abduct the Pre,,
silent was to be on the Seventh street road,
about the middle of March. They expected
the President to visit a camp. O'Laughlin, Ar
nold; Payne, Suratt, Booth, and Atzerott were
present. Harold left in the buggy with the
carbines for T. B. The plan was to seize the
coach of the President, Suratt to jump
on the box, as he was considered the
best driver, and make for T. 8., by way of
Long Oldfields to the Potomac river, in the
vicinity of Nanjemoy Creek, where they had a
bruit waiting with men to carry over the
Party—the boat was capable of carrying fifteen
men—a large flat-bottomed batteau, painted
lead color, which had been bought for the
purpose by Booth from two men named Bran
ner. and Swoot. This plan failed, the Presi
dent not coming, as they desired. Harold
went the next morning to Washington, and
all things remained quiet for some time after
this. Booth went North. Arnold and O'Laughlin
to Baltimore. Payne and Arnold left also for
New York. A man named Howell was about
this time arrested, which alarmed Suratt, and
he left with a Mrs. Schlatter for the North.
This was about the Ist of April. The next
plan was to visit the theatre on the night the
President was expected to be there. It was
arranged that Suratt and Booth were to go to
the box, Arnold, O'Laughlin and Payne were
to act some important part in getting him out,
Harold and Atzerott were to have charge of
the horses, and an actor was to be secured to
put out the gas. Booth represented that the
best assistant he had was an actor. In this
plan buggies and horses were to be used. A
rope which was prepared and to be at KeytPs,
was to be stretched across the road to impede
the cavalry in the pursuit.
The route this time was the same as before
except that they were to cross the Eastern
Branch Bridge. This whole affair failed, and
Booth said "it is all up," and spoke of going
10 Richmond and opening a theatre and pro
mised Atzerott employment in it in some Capa
city. Atzerott was waiting for Booth to
arrange his going to Richmond when the
affair was renewed again. He had taken a
room at the Kirkwood House. Harold called
on him and left his knife, pistol, and coat in
the room and told him Booth wanted to see
him at the Herndon House, to which place he
repaired with Harold : This was in the even
ing, about six o'clock, and he there met Booth
and Payne. Booth said you must kill John
son. Atzerott demurred, when Booth replied,
"Harold has more courage; he will do
it; go get your horses; what will become
of you anyhow." Atzerott and Harold went
down :Ninth street together, and Atzerott said,
"we must not disturb Johnson." Harold
laughed, and wanted the key of the room. It
was refused by Atzerott, who expressed him
self as fearful that harm would be done Mr.
Johnson. Harold left to go to see Booth,
and Atzerott went to the Oyster. Bay.
Harold came after, and said Booth wanted
to see him. Atzerott did not return to the
Birkwood House that night. Booth told Atze
rott that Suratt was in the city, and that he
had just left him. Atzerott did not see Booth
after leaving him at the Herndon. llons-c, and
he roamed about the streets nearly all night;
and first heard of the murder about half-past
ten o'clock, while pas Sing up the avenue. The
cavalry were rushing by at the time, in pur
suit. Ito threw away his knife that night, and
parted With his pistol next morning, to a
friend in Georgetown. Atzerott had no
thing to say at any of the former meet
jags. He knew nothing about the rope
found with Spangler. He believed Spangler
innocent as far as he knew. Booth, when ap
plied to for money, would remark, he had
money in New York, and would get some. At
one time in the spring, or late in the winter'
Mrs. &Mater, Mrs. Suratt, John Suratt, and a
Major Barrow, formerly of the rebel army,
left. Washington together. They got horses
from Howard's. Mrs. Suratt stopped at Suratt-
and the rest went to the Potomac. Mai
jor Barrow returned, and Atzerott did not
think he bad anything to do with the conspi
racy, although he was formerly in the rebel
army.
One of Booth's plans to obtain an entrance
to the house of Secretary Seward was an in
yentiOn, which, if suceessful, would have in'
vOlved others in his foul act. He had made
the acquaintance of a Mau of strong Southern

derable excitement here, caused by a tragic

The Galena Railroad-34MM Decision
,CHICAGO, July B.—Judge Davis, in the Su
preme Court; gave a deeisiOn to-day in the
case of Wadsworth against the Northwest Rail
way, refusing to grant an injunction and ap
point a receiver, and reqUiring the company
to give bonds to protect the unexelianged Ga
lena stock in cage the court should hereafter
decide that holders thereof were entitled to a
receiver, and placing the money value of the
stock upon the price at the time of the con
solidation, instead of taking the shares of the
Northwest Company, as provided by the arti
cles of consolidation.
This decision is considered by the officers of
the road as a settlement of the question of con
solidation, and reduces the suit to a litigation
for the difference in the value between the
outstanding Galena stock and the present
value of the Northwestern stock to be issued
in exchange therefor, in aecordance with the
terms of consolidation, which difference does
not exceed $50,000.

LETTER vuou ammy 8. FOOTE D LATE REBEL
IMEMI
The New York Herald lately published an
article asserting that Henry S. Foote, late
rebel Senatorlfrom Mississippi, had stated to
his son-in-law, Hon. Win. M. Stewart, U. S. Sen
ator for Nevada, that the committee of the re
bel Congress to investigate these alleged cruel
ties, had " obtained positive facts and data,
provingbeyond a shadow of doubt that the sys
tem of jinhuman treatment and starvation of
our PliSOtterS was decided upon in a Cabinet
meeting at Richmond, for the express purpose
of breaking down the constitution of the men;
and making them useless as soldiers when ex
chamois-0 Icoticing, this; Mr. Foote has sent a
letter to the fieroid, from which we extract the
following :
Touching. the Congressional report referred
to 1 have this to say: A month or two anterior
to the date of said report I learned, from a
government officer of respectability, that the
prisoners of war then confined in and about
Richmond were suffering severely. for want of
VrOViSiOnS. He told me further, that it was
manifest to him that a systematic scheme was on
foot for subjecting these unfortunate men to sterns,
Lien; that the Commissary General, Mn.•Northup
(a most wicked and heartless wretch,) had ad
dressed a communication to Mr. Seddon, the &ere- .
tory of War, proesisp to withhold meat altogether
from natd , rylossoners then in custody, and to
'give them nothing but broad and vegetable ,
and that Mr. Seddon had endorsed the - document
salaining this recommendation rifflrmatively. I
learned further that by calling upon Major
Ould, the commissioner for exchange of priso
ners, I would be able to obtain /anther infor
mation on this subject. I went,to: Major Ould
immediately, and obtained the,, desired infor
mation. Being utterly unwilling to coun
tenance such barbarity for a ratneent, , regard
ing indeed the honor, of the. ramie south as
concerned in the affair I proceeded with
out delay to the hall of the House of Repre
sentatives, called the attentions that strange
ly eonsti t OW body to the subject, and insisted
upon an immediate committee of inVestiga ,
Lion. I grieve to say that thiswasat first refused,
and I was most acrimoniously censured. by
several members fur • introducing the subject
in the House at all, But I received to have au
investigation,And to put a stop to such Van
dalic atrocities if, Imould; or at least to rescue
-my own. character Irma menaced infamy by
withdrawing from all further connection with
the Conftlierw'is cause at Onee. I introduced a.
sscond resolution next morning, and dnady
succeed ed is getting the committee raised.:

Host upon the prisoners 0/ war of the enemy.
Having such assurances as I thought f could
rely upon, that all proper regard to the health
and comfortable accommodation of prisoners
of war would be in future exhibited, I was con
tent to refrain from the further discussion of
I is matter which had given me great chagrin
wi wortiticatian, anti 414 not o.o,4mitxlecps,
eery even to move for the publication of the
report Of the committee and. the voluminous
evidence appended. This is all]: know on the
subject, raid this is a good deal more that it is
at all pleasant to remember. It is lint jithtice,
though, to subjoin that Richmond was con
stant.lytilled- with rumors of the cruel treat
ment of Confederate prisoners of war in North:
ern prison houses. Whether all of these ru
mors were true, or-any part thereof, I never
bad the means of knowing, and it is, perhaps,
not very material now to inquire.
you will see, from this frank and explicit
statement of facts,. that the case is nut so bad,
so far, at least, as Air. DIMS and his Cabinet
are concerned, as you would seem to ha.vo sup-,
posed,..l certainly never heard of any Cabinet
Meeting on the subject, and never spoke of
one. There was no man in Richmond who, for
the three years of my deplorable stay there,
knew so little of the views of Mr. Davis and
the unfortunate Cabinet by whom he was Su
rrounded, as I did. I commenced mYopposi

on the day of my first taking, my seat in the
Confederate Congress, and I kept it up active
ly and zealously, day by day, and hour by
bony, I took My dual leave of them last

RICHMOND.
We clip from the Richmond lecinthlie of the
ath,the following editorial on the negro :
A few words about the ilegyo. His best friend
is his former master. The statesmanship most
Competent to provide for the new case pre
sented by the condition of the newly freed
negro man will be found-among the Mass who
Were formerly slaveholders.: This class religi
ously held that the highest welfare was at
tained by the negro in the condition of slavery.
They Were overruled-in this judgment by the
majority of the nation, who, by tome of axles,
ant against the protest of slay holdCrs, set the
negroes free.. Though this result Int. been ac
complished against the solemn protest, indeed
after a bloody resistance, from the slave
holders, they accept the result as final.
They thoroughly acquiesce and submit. They
deelaris, as a body, their 'cordial acquiescence
in this fact ; and they avow a perfect willing
ness to contribute all the aid in theirpower to
render the negro's condition as a freedman as
prosperous as possible. It is a common de
claration that the - Degrees were, as a class, the
only population of the South who were loyal
to tile. Union during the war. The tact is other
wise, The negroes presented the most re
niarkable instance of domestic loyalty that
was ever exhibited in the history of man
kind. While every able-bodied white man in
the South was subjected to a ruthless military
Conscription, andthe interior country was
stripped of every defender, the negroes re
mained faithful to their former toasters and

g in e g fecTncy w a it t h l the elle:it
,cultural work, and performing all the do
mestic offices which they had beettaceustoined
to do under the eyes of their owners. At any
time during the four years ofwar the slightest
insurrection among the slaves of the South, in
any one quarterovould have so filled the whole
land with distrust and dismay as to have
:drawn home every soldier from the Southern
armies, and laid the county helplessly open
to'invasion and conquest. M ithout this most
unprecedented fidelity of the negro, the South
Could not have carried on the war four months;
the war owed its duration absolutely and
singly to the negro's four years of fidelity;
and when the war terminated, it was brought
to an end, not by an uprising of the slaves,
who remained to the end as. doeile and faith
ful as at the beginning, but simply to the over
whelming force brought to bear upon the
Southern armies by the Federal power.
The former owners of the slaves owe a debt
of gratitude to the now freed negroes for their
fidelity, which they are not indisposed to ac
knowledge and, independently of this feeling,
they have a natural and habitual desire. to pro-
mote the welfare Of a Mass ofpopuladOn,With
whom they have been associated and whose
interests they have been accustomed to look
after-all their lives. Of all the people in the
world, the former slaveholders are most
strongly inclined to promote the welfare of
nogroes ' are most. deeply interested in their
behalf, and possess the greatest facilities
for securing it. The relations between labor
and capital ought alway to be founded in Mu
tual confidence and good will. Emphatically
does this feeling exist at present between the
owners og the hinds and the colored laborers
of the flipith, except so far as this mutual
confidence and good will have been under
mined by agents who have come from the
experiment of emancipation, and who, above
all others, are most competent to work out, to
a successful solution, this Otiperimont, insti
tuted not by themselves, but by others aeting
in antagonism to them. None but the most
unreflecting and shallow empiricism can be
lieve that the relations between capital and
labor are really antagonistic at the South;
yet the opinion has got abroad at the North
that a.state of mutual hatred and distrust now
prevails between - the white and black races of
the South, and agents are sent down here,
nominally to look to the negro's welfare, but
really to stir up strife between the two races.
When these agents are men of clear per
ception and good feeling, and have, more
over, the moral courage not to fear censure
- from home for recognizing facts which they
see—facts which do seriously conflict with the
notions they had formed of what sort of rela
tions must naturally subsist between the ideal
slaveholder and the ideal negro—these agents
are capable of doing much good. But when
they come blinded with prejudice, and ani
mated with bitter hostility to the white race
of the Smith, they are capable only of mischief.
It may pot comport with the political schemes
or thelgetimeprejudices of Northern radicals
to acknowledge the fact but it is, neverthe
less, a fact which reflecting and candid men
must not only acknowledge, but act on, that
the natural protector and best friend of the
Southern laborer is the Southern capitalist; of
the Southern negro is the Southern land-owner. •
And we declare now, what experience and fu
ture history will demonstrate, that the former
shareholders entertain a stronger desire, are
bound by a deeper interest, and possess a great
er power, to advance the welfare of the negro
than any other class whatever. We have,
moreover, this friendlyand kindly warning to
give the radical friends of the negro in the
North ; which is, that by exciting distrust and
ill-will between Southern labor and capital—
between the Southern black and white races—
they can convert our fair land into a second
Hayti, and forever defeat their own grand ex
periment of negro emancipation ; whereas,
by refraining from this unfriendly and incen
diary interference; and recognizing the fact
that the Southern capitalist is the natural
friend of the Southern laborer, they will
enable the former slaveholders to work out to
a successful and triumphant conclusion, by
force of their own imperative interest, and in
opposition to their own preconceived preju
dices, the experiment of emancipation. It is
plain to the meanest comprehension that
every man in the South is now interested in
vindicating this experiment, and it is a
strange anomaly that the only danger that
menaces the cause of abolition, comes from its
disciples par excellence iii New England.
THE POURTH IN RICHMOND
The eighty-ninth anniversary of American
Independendence was pretty generally ob
served and appropriately celebrated in this
city on Tuesday last. At hn early hour in the
morning the Capitol Square was filled with a
Promiscuous gathering of citizens, soldiers,
and negroes. The last-named class greatly
predominated, there being but a slight sprink
ling of the first two. Little tables were stack
about under the trees, and lemonade, lee
cream, and "pies and things" were retailed at
a small advance upon original cost, to greedy
and pleasure-seeking colored individuals.
Here and there, all over the grounds, small
knots were gathered, some singing " Rally
Bound the Flag, Boys," and others giving in
their experience in a sing-song voice, all the
while -H.olently. shaking the hand of some
brother or Sister. Every describable species
of the African was present, from the gaudily
attired mulatto, with a natural head-dress of
her own luxuriant wool to the shirtless nut
meg-headed little oleo-skin, busily engaged
munching half-cooked doughnuts. Young
America, for the first time in four years, had
a glorious time of it and at night vociferously
voted the day a " big thing," and no mistake.
Fireworks were plentiful and cheap, and an in
cessant poppin was kept up from early in the
morning until long past the hour when good
boys and girls are supposed to say their even
ing's prayer and retire to their beds. A new
infernal machine, in the shape of a mammoth
pop cracker, made its appearance. This con
cern is a mountain howitzer, on a small scale,
minus the wheels, and when exploded in close
Proximity to the heels of some unsophistica
ted individual, forcibly reminds him of the
seventy-four-pounders so fashionable in this
country during the past four years. At nine
o'clock in' the morning an immense United
States flag was raised on the Spotswood Hotel,
by General Osborne, who made a few appro
priate remarks to the gathering on the roof
of the building. A brass band was in attend.
ance, and after the flag was given to the
breeze played the "Star-Spangled Banner"
and "Dixie" At eleven o'clock, in the Spots
wood Hotel bar-room, a bountiful lunch was
spread before the habitues of that popular es
tablishment. To call it a lunch was a mis
nomer—it was a feast, which would have suited
the taste of the most fastidious epicure. The
soil ,the shamble, and the dairy, together with
the contributions of the sea, all combined in
making up a feast of mammoth proportions.
At twenty minutes paSt tell the ceremonies on
the Capitol Square commenced. A short and
impressive prayer was offered up to the
Throne of Grace by the Rev. Dr. Stockwell, of
Massachusetts. A national air was then per
formed by the brass band of the 39th Illinois
Regiment, after which Miss Dr. Walker was
introduced, and read the "Declaration of
American Independence.” Remarks were
wade by Mr. W. Stickney, of New 'York, and
the Rev. Dr. Barnes. After which the benetlic
tion was pronounced by the Rev. Dr. Stock
well, and the assemblage dispersed.
Quite a number of ladies and gentlemen re
paired to" sequestered spots " or suburban re
treats, where pic-nies were held, and the day
passed In joyous and innocent amusement, to
the evident delight of all the participants. At
night there were pyrotechnical displays on
the Square, Gamble's Hill, and at other promi
nent points, all of which were witnessed by
large assemblages of Indies and gentlemen.
A merry party of soldiers, bent on enjoyment,
attracted no little attention by coming into
the city from camp in a large hay wagon
drawn by sixteen mules. Elevated a slight
distance above the wagon, was a large board,
bearing the inscription "Twenty-fourth
Corps—homeward Round." This wagon con
tained a full brass band, the musical strains of
which, and the noventimearance of the "turn
out," attracted as great a crowd of small boys
told negroes as ever did the elephant or the
striped. hyena. Immediately following this
wagoe was anothefdrawn.by eight mules, and
which was also Rued wrkh soldiers. In this
wagon was a barrel o eider or beer, from
which the gay seldiers, frequently drank to
the "general joy" of Atte whole camp- The
Spotswood and otherpuominentplaces in their
route were serenaded: The patrons of the
turf indulged moderately in their favorite
I pastime on the Fourth at Fairfield. The
; morning's entertainment began with a hurdle
race, the contes*ants being several members
of the Roth New York Regiment, for a purse of
' one hundred:dollars, which was Made up by
the officers of:the regiment. There were rasp,
two amusing- sack races, several jumping :
matches/A*4a quarter-mile race, the last bei,ug
won by COlonel McEntree's horse.

The Buffalo eantsnerVial Advertiser says: The
following extract of a letter recently received
by a gentleman of this city from Dr. Hunt,
formerly one of the edi,tors of this paper, and
now surgeon in the army, has been kindly fur
nished us for publication:
"HEADQ.IIARTIERS,IST Div.,l6TH AWAIT' Coups,
SIELMA, Ala., June 7, 1865.
This region, von know, is the heart of the
slaveocracy. l states are large, lands fertile,
and the blacks constitute about two-thirds of
the population. It had entirely escaped the
horrors of war. The poor whites were all
forced into the army ,• the rich stayedd at home,
in what were called "bomb-proof positions ”
that is, were " detailed >, on some humbug pre
tence of serving as agents, contractors, com
missioners, ete. These latter grewrich—appa
rently richer than Over before—and showed
their zeal for the confederacybyhunting down
thepoor Conscripts and deserters, Whowere nU
merous, particularly in the barren hill region
toward Talledega. Desertion was hardly a
crime in the case of these poor fellows. They
knew that their families were starving and
neglected by the peculiarly selfish aristocracy,
and every instinct led them homeward—even
though they knew that they would be outlaws
and fugitives, and hunted down actually with
dogs.
Such was the condition when Wilson's raid
came through, "evangelizing the bomb
proofs," as a Confederate surgeon called the
wild saturnalia of that terrible campaign.
The phrase indicates his feelings of spite
towards the citizens, which he shared with
nearly all sincere and whole-hearted Confede
rate officers. This cold, unsympathizing, ar
rogant aristocracy, which had neglected every
duty to its army, and had smiled supercilious
ly at starving women and children, got a les
son strictly " evangelical," to use the doctor's
phrase, and how they howled!ln one day
they tel to poverty, real or pretended. What
with the exodus of' their slaves, and the work
of plunder and the flames, they went under
very rapidly.
Then came our more quiet and better-disci
plined occupation, and the moment they found
us civil they'beeame arrommtointil theyfound
found that, with all our civility, we were a
gloomy and terrible engine of the power of the
Government. Then came obsequiousness!
But I am wandering from the point I wished
to illustrate. The next scene in the drama
was the return of the paroled armies of Lee
and Johnston. These "prisoners of war" affili
ated or fraternized at once with our troops. - sz was
really an era of good feeling based on mutual ra
ved.
But, on the other hand, they came back
breathing vengeance against the " bomb
proofs.. I was up in the hills, seventy miles
from here, alone and without escort or guard,
and naturally saw and heard much from both
sides. Old citizens were fleeing from their
homes, and pitiously appealing to me to know
if we could not send troops to their re
scue. The soldiers were openly defiant to
what they themselves caged the d—d ctrl secesh,"
robbing them of mules, cattle, and provisions,
and with quivering lips telling me of all the
long catalogue of wrong and outrage of the
last four years. Several murders had already
occurred, and many more have since hap
pened. They that took the sword have fallen
by the sword. Last Saturday two wealthy and
prominent citizens were hung, and the gang have
announced a "proscribed list" of six others. Un
derstand. this is not guerilla warfare; it is
Corsican 'vendetta. I can, and do go thrOugh
all the country without danger. But the . rich
Cannot.
The slaves, on the other hand behave well.
Through all the debasement and ignorance of
the blacks, there is a Christ-like element in
their character—a gentle and forgiving spirit
which is wonderful. They know and insist
upon their freedom; but they have already
learned that liberty . implies labor, and are
mostly at work again for wages. And their
terror-stricken masters, hunted down by the
returned soblitass, turn timidly to "the nig
gors” for protection. The great problem of
liberation is by-no means solved—it involves
infinite difficulties—but we know at least that
the blacks are docile, and will be as wax in our
hands, if they are only properly and wisely
governed.
Jusv How Pr Is.---One argument of the ex
slaveholders of the South, in advocating the
adoption of a scheme of apprenticeship, which
is little worse than slavery itself, is that they
must still take care of the aged negroes, and
that therefore they Ought not to be required to
pay the able-bodied colored people decent
wages. This argument is well answered in
the following report of a conversation held by
the correspondent of a Cincinnati paper 'with
a Georgian slave and his master:
Old lien 'brought us a watermelon, and while
we were eating, the old chattel startled its mas
ter by a sudden aggressive movement of its in
tellectual machinery.
"Massa William , ' (addreSSing his master),
"des One thug if the slaves gwine to ho free,

Ex-Governor Harris, of Tennessee,. in
Mexico.
Ex-Governor 'Harris, of Tennessee; hi tie
reached Mexico, and has written• the follow'-
ing letter to the Memphis Bulletin. He says:
"I desire to return to Tennessee. There is
but one obstacle in the way, and - that in the
shape of proclamation by Governor Brown.-
low, offering a reward for my apprehension,
&c., but I have a plan for its removal, and to
sonic, extent I find a precedent for such course
in the example of my friend Vallamlighanb of
Ohio ; yet I will 'anxiously wait and watch
over the border,' for better success than he
met.
• "True, I am here, self-exiled for treason
against the Government of the United States;
and were I pardoned by it—deprived by this
most jilaiCiOuia enactment, of the right tovote
In my native State, for an alderman or eimata-
No, yet thanks to their wisdom, I am eligible
to the office of Governor of the State.
. _
"You will, therefore; Mr. Editor, announce
me as a candidate for re-election to that office
at the election to he held in August, 1666. For
the expense of said card, I inclose you twenty
dollars, good Confederate money. If it is not
current with you, please present it for re
demption to the Bank of Tennessee, as I re
ceived it from that institution in payment of
a Cheek for my last . quarter's salary as Gover
nor of the State. Should they refuse to change
it; you will then ask the State Treasurer to
redeem it in legal-tender notes or coin, for I
was compelled by military order to accept it
as payment."
A NEW ANECDOTE or MR. LuicoaN.-Mr. Car.
Penter, in the last number of the New York
Independent, tells the following new anecdote
of Mr. Lincoln:
It will be remembered that au extra session
or congresS was called in July following Mr.
Lincoln's inauguration. In the inewige then
sent in speaking of secession and the measures
taken by the Southern leaders to bring it about,
there occurs the following remark: " With re
bellion thus sugar-coated; they have been
drugging the public mind of their section for
more than thirty years, until at len g th they
have brought many good men to a wilingnoss
to take up arms agamst the Government,” etc,
Mr. Defrees, the Government printer, toil
me that when the message was being printed
he was a good deal disturbed by the use of the
term "sugar-coated," and finally went to the
President aboutit.
Their relations to each other being of the
most intimate character, he told Mr. Lincoln
frankly that be ought to remember that a
message to Congress was a different aiLtir
from a speech at a 11148841100 ting in ;
that the messages became a part of history,
and should be written accordingly.
"What is the matter now 1" inquired the
President.
- -
"Why," saki Mr. Defrees, " Yon have used
at undignified expression in the message ;"
and thenreading the paragraph aloud, he
added, " I' would alter the structure of that, if
I were you. ,,
Defrees, , Y replied Mr. Lincoln, "that word
expresses precisely. my idea, and I am not
going to Change it. The time will never come
in Ms country when the people won't know
exactly what sugar-coated means 3"
GENERAL WALLACE'S OPINION ON THE Mzxt-
CAN Qunsmiox.--Major General Lew. Wallace
has written a long letter to a military friend
on the idea of voluntary emigration to Mexico,
for the purpose of taking up arms in the Libe
ral cause, in which he declares that to do so
would be no infringement of international
law; nor would it be prevented by President
Johnson. He encourages the measure, on the
ground that President Juarez is " fightingour
battles ;" that the neutrality of the United
States Government is a recognition of Maxi
milian, and that the conduct of Napoleon in
- Mexico is a fraud upon England and Spain
and a violation of the tripartite convention of
those Powers with France in 1861. The General
thinks that, were the "Pederalsn and " John
nies" to unite under the old nag, and show the
Mexican filibuster how they combated each
other, they would, in their contemplation of
Mexican victories, quit their talking about
Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, and
Chickamauga, and be the very best of friends.

ALBERT WALKER.
Shot through the heart at the head of his regi
ment,
Charging in front, like Du Gueselin of old,
On the inhuman, fierce files of the foemau,
Through a lire no man
setter, or braver, or gallanter went—
No one on history's pages more bold.
There were his comrades needing assistanee ;
Proudly he dashed through the perilous ma
tance—
Through a tornado of shot and of shell,
Over the ranks of the ruffians before him,
How like a hero the young soldier bore him ;
Bowlike a martyr the young hero fell—
Fell, like the forest oak, in the red Levin,
Fell, as the eagle falls, stricken from heaven—
Bosom and brow by a score of shot riven,
Foremost, still foremost—victorious ho fell.
Shall No mourn rims 0, nol for no name in
our story,
Shall shine on its pages more golden in glory;
3lourn only for those who feebly could falter,
But not for the priest who dies at the altar—
In her chaplet of heroes his land has entwined
In her temple of nArtyrs her hand has en-
shrined him;
And there through all ages his memory shall
blossom,
As one of the bravest who sprang from her
bosom.

a native of Philadelphia, entering the army
immediately on the breaking out of the rebel
lion, leaving affluence and family behind him.
His conspicuous gallantry soon achieved for
him the 'position he held at the time of his
death. He was struck by no less than seven
teen bullets, twelve of which passed through
his body eight Of them through his breast.
