Temperance is just thetbing. It is a glorious cause and a holy work. Who dare say any thing against it?

Richmond, Va., March 27. The revelations made by Butler in his controversy with Bingham, regarding the destruction of that part of Booth's diary which was presumed to contain evidonee of .Mrs. Surmtt's innocence hue excited tan : venial horror among all claws here. There ' is no longer any doubt Gut that site was exe cuted with a positive conviction of her in nocence, ns an example to intimidate South ern — rebel' women, and stay their "sinis ter" efforts to perpetrate and intensify dis loyal sentiments of the South. Stanton and Itelt are presumesl to be the manipulators in this infamous transaction, and not a few express the hope that, when law and justice shall be reinstated, and these notorious characters become amenable to legal res ponsibility, vigorous efforts will be made to bring them to trial for this as well as the other iniquities with which theirnames have become associated. Low as the people of , the South estimate Northern sense of just ice, sufficient confidence is felt in their ap preciation of the national character to in duce the belief that, under a mom auspie iOUS state of aittird, the country'a name will be vindicated by the proper punishment of those men who have brought disgrace upon it. A dietinguished gentleman, now hero upon reading the brief account of Butler's reve lation brought by telegraph, exclaimed, with an evident feeling of horror: "My God how is it that such fiends are suffered to ex ist ? or what infutnation hasseized the North ern people that they should tolerate the perpetuation of such infamies without ut tering a word in denunciation of them"— People here are not unfrequently heard to soy, that if they knew as much or Northern character as has been revealed under the test of the Supreme power which they now wield there would be no surrendering on the pert of the South while a man remained. Indeed it is confidently asserted that if the Southern people could have realized at tiny time during the first two years of the war that' subjugation would involve all or evea a tithe of the evils which it has bruight, they would put forth such efforts as would secure their independence beyond all question.— Southern terror at association under one government with a people who stand pass ively by and witness the disgrace that is be ing brought daily upon the national character by the infamous exceises of the party in pow er, is hourly increasing. Meanwhile, the people are determined to carry out in good Ihith every profession cf loyalty which they make. though the; are moving in the mat ter ot' reconstruction with sentitneedeof utter distrust in the good faithof Radical pledges. It,is, perhaps, not generally know that during the incarceration of Wirz and Major imier•in the Capitol Niacin they ix:copied adjoining veils, and enjoyed tenfiries of coin .

No one was per mitted to see either, unless by special privi lege from the Secretary of War. On the night previous to the execution of Wirz three men entered his cell. of' coarse by per tuition of Stanton, and proposed to him that if he would agree to implicate Jeff. Davis is the alleged conspiracy to starve the Northern prisoners confinedat Andersonville his would lie spared. Wirz replied that he would not save his own Pith by saeri- Acing that of another iniement man. The parties thereupon left the cell, and Wits itumedietely communicated all that trans pired to Major Winder. The Major some time after met. 'Mrs. Davis in New York, and revealed to her whet is here stated, backing it up by an affidavit, which he gave her and which she now holds. The trial of Das is would involve revelations which would shock humanity, and teat to its fullest what ever sense of justien, or feeling of national pride is still felt at the North. It is not un reasonable to presume that popular indigna tion would.be aroused to a pitch that would render it unsafe fur the eimeactors of the vile plans devised to secure the eacrificeil Davis's Nib, to prolong their residence among a people whose fame and character they so grossly outraged.
