inridge had arrived in Cuba, in company
with Col. Taylor Wood, formerly comman
der of the Taßahasa() ; Cal. Wilson, one of

a colored servant. They were, with the ex
ception of Wood, about six,ty miles from .loff.
Davis when he we:, captured, but managed
to elude the Union troops, and traveled
across the States of Georgia end Florida to
the coast, where they secured a small boat
and put to sea, arriving at Cardenas on the
11th instant, after three days and nights
passed almost entirely without eating ioo
sleeping. Wood was with Davis when he
was captured, but, managed to risen! e. At
Cardenas they were serenaded and received
marked attention from the Spanish 6overnor
and people. They
. subsequently proceeded
to Havana, where they expected to remain
for some time, The Babel Con. Slaughter.
lately in command at Brownsville, Texas,
was also in Havana, having arrived on board
a steamer from Matamoras.
A BATCH OF TRAITORS INDICTED AT NOR
FOLK.:—OIIr dispatches give a list of thirty
seven leading rebels who have been indieted
for treason by the United States Court al
Norfolk, Virginia. Among the number ere
Robert E. LeO, late Gencral-in-Chief of the
rebel armies ; Jas. A, Seddon, late rebel
secretary of Wnr ; Thos. S, Bueock, late
Speaker of the rebel House of Repre:,enta
iives ; Henry A. \Vise, Wade Hampton, and
other prominent traitors, chiefly in the mil
itary service. Some of these defiantly bear
ing arms against the Government of the
United States, including General Lee, are
understood now to be humble supplicants to
President Johnson for pardon. It i hole•d
that this will at least be deferred until they
have been put upon their trial and convict

JouNsoN's Amnesty Proclamation Inis been
received in England. and has been discu-sed
in all the English paper , . The Mar regards

Atebel papers denounce them as harsh. The
Army and Nary (,raze llr denounces the de
sign of the President as blood-thirsty, but
thinks that he will shrink from executing it.
The Progressive Party in the French Legis
lative Body intend to send an address to
?resident Johnsor, reminding him that the
French Republic of 1818 abolished capital
punishment for political oillenees, and recom
mending the application of 11. e ~t inie princi

French Legislative Body haul an interesting
debate on the Mexican question, tire opposi

bending future complications with the [lilted
States. The Government diaCed that there
was any 'reason for apprehending such eom
plications.
H Itn.r.Sli RO, 11110 21 —\t t ano otl'r
military posts through the State there ere a
large , number of per-sixs,s Vt,: ,
military authorities, charged with
offences. :Many of those thus held are men
of respectability in their localities, men of
b us i ness , w h o suffer peculiar hardship in be
ing thus detained, and who have been !MN
.IOIISIy waiting a trial. Governor Curtin has
been making the most strenuous ellort , to
have the cases of the , 4iStateprisoners brought
before the proper authorities, that they may
either he punished if guilty, or be immediate
ly set at liberty if innocent. The Govern
ment at Washington has been rideasing a
large number of prisoners held in the South,
as well sh sending home scores of (Abet • CUll -
lined in the different forts of the North:
With these facts before the public, it is deem
ed no more than right that the prisoner; Mild
at the various posts in this and other States,
charged with trivial military ramifies, should
at once be set at liberty. The object of (4ov.
Curtin in urging this matter is to save the
national authorities from being misjudged
by the Northern masses, awl to prove the
good sense of the policy of acting with mag
nanimity towards the erring, ignorant men
of the North, as well as the Caine class in the
South.
COMPENSATION OF F EFDM EN.—Major
General 0. 0. Howard, commanding this
Bureau, has prepared a very interesting cir
cular in regard to the compensation of freed
men in the late rebellious States. lie says:
Much trouble criers on account of the dif
ficulty of fixing just and equal rates of com
pensation for the labor of refugees and freed
men. lam disinclined to fix even minimum
rates that should apply in all cases. The
diversity of circumstances is so great that I
believe justice can be better approximated by
contracts approved by the Assistant Commis
sioner, Superintendent of Freedmen, or other
officers on duty in 'connecti .n with this Bo
rOnu.. They must, however, satisfy them
selves as to what is a just compensation for
the different classes of labors in the localities
coining under their immediate supervision.
If the Commissioner fixes a rate of compen
sation, there will seldom be paid anything
beyond that rate. Be sure, however, to .
protect„theemployee against labor without
compensation. The employer is protected.
by his contract,. which the employee, when
treated with good faith, is bound to fulfil.
Lier The NoW York Woria has a spe c i a l
correspondent travelling through North Car
olina, who writes . from Greensborough as
follows :
" The destitute ration has been dropped,
except to the unemployed negroes, for the
manifest reason that it fostered, idleness and
fraud among the whites. There were no
less than thirty thousand rations issued at
Raleigh in a single day, and increasing. It
is now reasoned that a State which could do
so much for the needs of• the Confederate
army can maintain its own people who ought
to bo at work. There are feu, people at ?boric
beside negroes. There is no trade. Field
labor has been considered. the peculiar pro
vince of the negro, except in the upland.
counties. Confederate officers and soldiers
arc loafing about the streets waiting for some
thing to turn up, but not trying to turn au)
anything."
The New York Observer, in an able arti
cle on church music, by its 'senior editor,
thus speaks of the Mason & Hamlin Cabinet
Organ; "" Here we have an organ, sweet,
solemn, 'sortorous, and grand;' with your
eyes shut you ea'pnot distinguish its sound
'from that of the pipe organ itself. It is so
effective and beautiful as to moot the Alesires

The Coining Fouitth - of
The recommendation of Governor Cunxm
that special pains should be taken to observe
and celebrate the coming Fourth of, July,
has been adopted by the Governors of a
number of other Stites. We see that even a
few Southern jthfrnals recommend its careful
observance in the South, because it commem
orates an event' in which all Americans can
sincerely rejoice. ThD'e is yet another rea
son why unusual honors should be paid to
the approaching Anniversary of our National
Independence. It is the first occasion on
whicli, in spirit and in truth, in the North
and in the South, and all over the land, we
can give a cordial and unreserved endorse
ment to the doctrines of the great charter of
American freedom. For the first time can
wo proclaim our approval Of the declaration
that life, libeply end the pursuit of happi
ness" are " inalienable rights of man,",
without reference to race or color. For the
first time eau we exhibit a national record
not in direct conflict with the title by which
we claimed n place among the nations of the
earth. Cus.tem, oiim-titutional, obligations,
and our peculiar systein of government,
deadened our perceptions and lulled our con
sciences, but a still, small voice lies ever and
anon convicted us of hypocrisy and injus
tice, and a gr()ss violation of the golden rule,
" Po ye unto others as ye would that *others
should do unto you, - The "glittering gen
eralities" of . the Declaration of Indepen
thinee could never be made to harmonize
with a system ofslayery. They were based
upon a broad and sweeping assertimi of the
rights of -mini, which no casuistry could ex
plain a way and T o sophistry reconcile with
the practice of treating the colored race as
chattels, and robbing them of all the rights
and privileges which dignify life a nd elevate
humanity.
REBEL IGNORANCE
In a speech recently made at Lowell
m as s., General Butler is reported to have
said that only one in eight of ten thousand
rebel prisoner whose muster-out lists he
saw was able his own name. The
lact.is extremely interesting and instructive.
No better argument has been made of the
netting effrct of slavery on the white pop
ulation whom it touches; no stronger ar
gument in behalf of systematic public edu

and lice government: nor no more convinc

The Former Home and Family of
Henry Clay
A correspondent of the Cincinnati 61,m
-inerciat tells a melancholy story of Ashland,
the late homestead of lIENur CLAY, and
g,iVi`, the history of his decendants. The
old homestead of Henry Clay, it seems, is
now occupied by the family of lion. Thomas
Clay, one of his sons, and present Minister
to one of the South American Governments.
It is owned by the heirs of Janice B. Clay,
who, it will be remembered, died in Canada
about a year ago. The house in which Mr.
Clay lived when at home, was torn down
some years since by Janice, and a magnifi
cent structUre erected on its site, and there
is nothing now about the place to 'remind
one of hill' who once owned and honored it,
except the family buggy in which the old
man and his wife used to drive about, nod
the oak trees in front of the house, beneath
which he used to sit and talk with his fatally
and friends.
Mr. Clay had live sons. Four of them
survived hini. One, who bore his father's
name, was killed in the Mexican war,—
Thomas, a., I have said, is now a Govern
ment Minister. John is living on one-half
of the old homestead, now divided into two
farms. .lames died a fugitive in a foreign
land, and Theodore (the oldest of the family)
is, and hits been, for twenty-five years, an
inmate of an insane asylum, still avowing to
every ono with whom be converses that he
is thu original George Washington, and re
fusing to respond to a call by any other
name / Mr. Clay had no possessions of any
kind at the time of his death, with the ex
ception of Ashland, which was, of course,
worth a considerable sum ; but even that
was heavily mortgaged, and ho thought at
one tine ho would bo cbmpolled to abandon
it to his creditors, until, ono day, when he
entered -the bank to pay ono of his notes, ho
was told that ho did not owe a cent.. Kind
and generous friends had taken his 'case. in
hand, and lifted the pecuniary burden from
his shoulders. . -

Our manufactures are most apt to langilish
and suffer from sudden political changesj .
~ b ut, as is natural; their demession almost
inevitably entails great loss tiiioii'fartners and
merchants—reducing the price's of the former
and threatening with bankruptcy the latter.
A reliable system of protection, that would
bo founded upon such a solid and enduring
basis as would inspire universal confidence,
and render it certain that a fair chance would
be given to do all our own work on our own
soil that can be well done here, would make
this, in less than half a century, by .far the
greatest manufacturing country in the world,
and thus ensure' prosperity to all our other
interests. Much has already been done. We
have passed the preliminary stages of skilled
industry. We have demonstrated our power
in arts as well as in arms. No nation equals
us in inventive genius, or in natural advan
tages for the production of all kinds of man
ufactures of iron, steLl, cotton and wool. We
haVe learned most of the secrets of European
manufacturers, and have taught them how to
make , teamboats, telegraphs, reaping me
chines, and lightning presses. It requires
but a very superficial-view of a few of our
cotton or woolen mills, machine shops, foun
dries, forges and furnaces, to satisfy the
most incredulous of the wondrous skill of the
American artisans. All they need is a fair
Aimee, to outstrip the boasted establishments
of the Old "World in every apartment.
..11:ajor General JofiN qtARY is urged,
by a - Writer in tini.lYlA9urgh
as the fittest pan iii,fi*State'trYhe'cinife the
candidate of the' IT nioh meh for Ihe - Gu - her'-
nittorial succession in Pennsylvania. Gen.
GEARY has a splendid reputation as n soldier,
and is not without fame as a statesman.
.the 'gallant General is now a citizen of
New Cumberland, in our . own county, and
it 'is with pride and plcasurethat we see him
so honorably mentioned in the above. extract.
At the head of his regiment, in Mexico, he
first distinguished himself as a soldier; and
as Mayor of San Francisco, and afterwards
as Governor if Ks mes, he won for himself
a high name as a civic ruler. During the
late Rebellion, Gen. f Awn proved his de
votion to the lnion upon many a hard
fought battle field, in one of which lie was
severely wounded, and by his gallantry and
good conduct secured the confidence or hi,
,uperior, and the esteem and affection of his
fellow soldiers and of the people.
Gen. G EAET is Well acquainted with the
true interest of Pennsylvania, and would
make a capital Executive.

most able and distinguished citizens of the
State. Ile was horn in the year 1779, rind
was admitted to the bar of Allegheny county
in ISOI, being then about twenty-five years
of age. His t'iot er to a lawyer wits not only
successful but brilliant, and his talents soon
secured for him important positions of honor
and trust. In 182 ti he was appointed Presi
dent Judge of the Court of Common Pleas
of Allegheny county, and was fourth in the
line of President Judges of that Court, hav
ing been preceded by Judges George Wal

His suecrssors were Judges Studer, Dallas,

Sterrett. He was also a Judge of the United

Of War under the administration of John

positions with honor and he retired
to private life, although he hit: ever since

His advanced age and enfeebled constitution
prevented him from taking any active part
in the affairs ,:f the past four years, yet his

given in support of the government. It is
not our purpose to give even a sketch of -his
life or public services, and we must leave
that work to other and abler hands... Suffice it
to say that he was an accomplished scholar,
an able lawyer, an eloquent speaker, and a
chaste and forcible writer. In private life
he was high minded and honoral:lo in his
dealings, affable and agreeable in his social
intercourse, and universally esteemed and
honored by all who enjoysd the pleasure of
his acquaintance. For a year or two past he

His death, :therefore, was tin xpected, wad

deeply impressed tho4e gen tl eme n no t o nly
With the unimpeachable honesty and ifnpar
tiality 'Of Mr. Johnson, but with his earnest
determination to follow out the evident
course plainly indicated by the events of the
past four years. lie was particularly em
phatic in his femenciations of the fact that
Slavery had been wiped out solely by the ac
tion of tne insurrectionists, and that this
state of things must first be acknowledged
before the States would again be received in
to the Union. The delegates apparently
Mend the plain common-sense arguments of
the President unanswerable, and lat seem
ingly convinced that Andy .Johnson, while
disposed to do full justice to the people of
the late rebellious States is not disposed to
make any concessions in favor of an institu
tion universally acknowledged to be dead
without any hope of future resurrection.

WAsill Snturday, Jun , 24. 180;5
A delegation from South Caro Hint consist
ing of the following named persons, had,
late this afternoon, an interview Iry appoint
ment with the President : ,Itulge Frost, Isaac
E. Holmes, George NV, NVilliams, W. it.
Gillett, J. A. Sternmeyer, I , rederiels

and not imitate the ancient angurerF. who,
when they met One another, could smile at

said that if thi,c Union wai to be preserved.
it must be on the principle of fraternity, both
the Northern and Southern States maintain

State cannot. go out or the Limon, and, there
fore, none of them having gone out, we must
deal with the question of restoration and not
reconstruction. Ile suspected that he trio

The President replied that he alxvilyn
thought that, Slavery could not be sustained
outsidt of the ('onntitution of the ['lilted
:" . tittes, and that when the experiment - was
Wadi. lust. Whether it elillld or
could not, he tvno for the I r nion, and if Sla

the Gi , vernment must tritinipli and Slavery
perish. The institution or Slavery made the

nature and character of Slavery. 'n,,r,itt

to the Rebellion, should, now that tins Ite
hellion is ended, ntand equal to loyal 'nen
everywhere. Hence (lie wish of restoration,
and the trying to get Intel: tin! State, to the
point at hich they l'orinerly moved in per
! feet harmony. Ile did not intend to serve
any plinilltlittr ( . lillllo Or interest. He would
sac to the delegation t h at Slavery W 3, gone
as an institution. There was no hope Out
the people of South Carolina could be ad
mitted into the Senate or the 11ouse of Repre
sentatives until they had utforded evidence
by their conduct of this truth. The policy,
now that the .Rebelliuu is suppressed, is not
to restore the State Government through
military rule, but by the people. While the
war has emancipated slaves, it has emanci
pated a larger 1111101)er of white men. Ile
would talk plain, as the delegation had said
that was what they desired. Ile could go to
men who had owned dl) or 101) slaves, and
who did not care as much for the poor white
man as they did for the negro. Those who
utt it the land have the e, pital to employ
help, and therefore some of our Northern
friends are deceived when they, living afar
on', think they can exereiso a greater con
trol over the freedmen than the Southern
men, who have been reared where the insti
tution of Shivery has prevailed.
Now he did not want the late Slavehold
ors to control the negro voters against white
men. Let each State judge of the depositary
of its own political pettier. He was for eaten- ,
cipation• lie was for emancipating the
white man as well as the black
Mr. Holmes asked : is not that altogeth
er accomplished ?
The President replied that he did not think
the question fully settled. The question as
to whether the black man shall be ingrafted
in the Constitution will be settled as we go
along. Ile would not disguise the fact that
while he had been persecuted and denounced
at the South as a traitor, he loved the great,
mass of the Southern people, lie opposed
the Rebellion at its breaking out and fought
it everywhere, and now wanted the princi
ples of the Government carried out and main
tained.
Mr. Holmes interrupted by saying we want
to get back to the same position as you de
scribe, as we are without law, no courts are
open, and you have the power to wish" t us.
The President replied that the Govern
ment cannotgo on unless it is based on right.
The people of South Carolina must have a
convention and amend their constitution by
abolishing Slavery, and this must be dune in
good faith, and the convention or Logi-Ma
ture must adopt the proposed amendment to
the Constitution of the United States, which
prohibits and excludes Slavery everywhere.
One of the delegates said. we are most anx
ious for civil rule, for W . () have had more
than enough of military despotiSin.
The President, resuming, said that as the
Executive, he could only take the initiatory
steps to enable theist' to do the things which
it was incumbent upon them to pertbrm.
Another of the delegates remarked that it
was assumed in solve' parts of this country
that, in consequence of the Rebellion, the
Southcrn,States had forfeited their rights IS
members of the Confederacy, and that if 're
stored it could only be on certain conditions,
ono of which was that Slavery shall be abol
ished. • This could be done only through a
convention.
The. President replied that the friction of
the—Robelliorrhad-rubbed Slavery out, but it
would be better so to tleclare-by-laW, ; -As
ono of the delegates had jest remarkedthat
the Constitution of South Carolina. die'. • not
establish Slavery, it were
.better to insert a
Clause antagonistic to Slavery.
Judge Irast said, sulistaatially, the object
of our prayer is the appointment of a Gover
nor. ' The State of South Carolina will ae
opt these Oxiditiono u i ordor that law .aud
IMO
order may be restored and that-enterprise
and industry may be directed to us'eful ends.
We desire restoration as soon as possible. It'
is the part of wisdom to make the best of.cir-.
cumstances. Certain delusion have been dis
pelled by the revolution—among them, that
Slavery is an element of political strength
and moral power. It is very certain that
the old notion respecting State rights, in the
maintenance of which those who made 'the
Rebellion in South Carolina erred, has ceased
to exist. Another delusion, viz that, cot
ton is king, has likewise vanished in mist.
We are to come back with these notions dis
pelled and with a new system of labor. The
people of ,oath Carolina will cordially , coop
erate with the Government in making that
labor effective and elevating the.negro as
much as they can. It is, however, more 0
work of time than the labor of enthusiasm
and fanaticism. The people of the South
have the largest interest in the question. We
are willing to cooperate for selfish, if for no
higher motives. We have taken the liberty,
encouraged by our kindness, , to throw out
suggestions by which the policy of the Gov
ernment will be most surely and effectively
subserved. I repeat that the new system of
labor is to be inaugurated by robnr, sound
and discreet judgment. The negroes nil' ig
norant. Their minds are much inflamed
with liberty. They are apt tctlllp. nfound lib
erty with licerese. Their grentlilea is, I fear,
that fre,doni consists of exemption from
work. We wilbtake in good faith and car
ry oat I .Or intention; with zeal, and hope
for the bc..t ; and none will rejoice more than
the people of theBolll,ll if emanci palion proves
suecessful. Freedom to the slay,: is freedom

the Baccaluarate Address; the Addresses be
fore the General Society and Alumni,"and
the Commencement. The Anniversaries of
the Literary Societies, which usually form a
feature of Commencement week, were held
during the winter, and consequently there
were fewer displays of oratory during the
present week than usual. We noticed quite
a large attendance of former graduates of
the College, and strangers who evinced much
interest in the Exercises. We will notice
briefly all the performances up to the time
of our going to press.
The Oratorical Prize Contest of the Junior
Class came off on Monday evening. t4OVell

On Tuesday evening, the Baccalaurate
Address was delivered by Prof. Joux K.
STAYM AN, of Carlisle. It was unusually in
teresting and instructive, and was listened
to with pleasure by a largo and appreciative
audience. The conclusion of the Address
was a finely written Poem, which was re
ceived With marked approbation.
(ht Wednesday morning the Address be
fore the General Society was delivered by
Hon. J OUN IV. FORS EY, of Washington.
His theme was a comparison of thecharac'.ers
of LINCOLN and .lotiNso.N. The Address
was an able one, and did credit to the Ora

in its hearings, and on that account at least
apparently inappropriate to the occasion.
On Wednesday evening the Alumni Ad

an International Man," and the Address
was a finely written biography and eulogy
on England's greatest statesman, and one of
Freedom's ablest advocates.
