Referring to a published letter which had been written by Gen. Geary some years since, and which it was now at tempted to use to his detriment, he said that, having lived in that gentlemems neigh- harbood,lie - could -speak .knowingly_o[hip sentiments. At all times Glen. Geary had placed himself on the side of liberty and principle. Before he was sent to Kansas, and about that time, his greatest ambition was to brush up the slave democracy. The military record of General Geary, as well as his civil services fur the country, was a glorious vindication of the sentiments which lie hail ever professed. Ile it was who wihpped liongstreet and inflicted upon that boasted rebel leader the first cas tigation), lie received. Lookout Mountain attested his courage and skill. In conclu sion. the speaker warmly commended the course of General Geary. _ . PermAent secretaries were then ap pointed. lion. Thomas Cochrane, chair man of the Committee on resolution, re ported a series, as follows: 1. Resat:co', That this Convention, repre- senting tho Union-loving and loyal people of Pen ti,:y Ivan in, who never despaired a the Republic, and who poured out millions of treasure and devoted yet, more precious blood for the rescue of the country from the feloni ous at tacks of a wicked and causeless rebel ion--who,osons fought on every hattle-tiold, and <utf•red in every Southern prison pen "r torture and starvation—whose noble dead lie on the soil of every State, where they fell under the folds of the national hanner—here rene\v their pledges of unfaltering devotion to 'the Federal Union, and repeat their de- purpose that it shall be preserved. Re.solved, 'Flint the most imperative ty of the present is to gather the legitimate ft tilts of the war, in order that our Consti- tution way Come out of the rebellion purified, our in,tittitiolLs strengthened, and our na- tiontd liCe. prolonged. Row!red, That failure in these grave duties would be scarcely less criminal than would have been an acquiescence in :woes sioo aoo 0“,,,r,10t0r00., or EIIMM!! the eompirater,, and would be au insult to every ,ohlier who took up arms to riavu Ow country. 4. Resolrcd, That filled with admiration at the patriotic devotion Lail fearle,S courage With which Andrew Johnson resisted and denounced the efforts of the rebels to over- throw the National Government, Pennsyl vania rejoiced to express her enti re eon tide ace in his character and principles, and appre ciation of his noble conduct by bestowing her suffrage upon hint for the second position in honor and dignity in the country ; his bold and outspoken denunciations of the crime of trea,m, his firm demands for the punish ment ..f the guilty offenders, and his expres sions (.1' thorough sympathy with the plends of the Uni(in, secured for hint the warmest attachment alter people, who remembering his great service and sacrifices while traitors and their syffipathipsers alike denounced his patriotic action, appeal to hint t, stand firm ly by the side and to repose upon the sup port of the loyal inasses, NV 110S0, votes ibrined the fotindatbm of hi,, promotion, and who riedgvd to him Ilwir titi,:worving support in inea,ures by which treason shall he stig inatiy.ed—loyalty recognized—and the free dom, stability and unity of the nation neNetc,/, 'That the work of iestoring e late in-tirrectionary States to their pro- per relation; to the Union, necessarily de volves upon the law-making power, and that, until such action shall he taken, no State, lately in insurrection, is entitled to represen tation in either branch of Congress ; (baits Preliminary - to such action, it is the right of Congress to investigate for itself the condi tion of the legislation of those States, to in quire respecting their loyalty, and to pre scribe the terms of restoration ; and that to deny this necessary Constitutional power is to deny and imperil one of the dearest rights belonging to our representative form of gov ernment ; and that we cordially , approve of the action of the ['Mon representatives in Congress from Pennsylvania on this subject. 6. Resolved, That no man who has volun tarily engaged in the late rebellion, or has held office under the rebel organization, should be allowed lo sit in the Congress of the Union ; and that the law—known as the teat oath—should not be repealed, but should be enforced against all claimants for seats in Congress. 7. Reseleed, 'Plait the national faith is sacredly pledged to the payment of the na- tional debt incurred in the war to save the country and to suppress rebellion, and that the people will not suffer this faith to be violated or impaired, but all debts incurred to support the rebellion were unlawful, void audlof no obligation and shall never be as sumed by the United States, nor shall any State be permitted to pay any evidences-of so vile and wicked engagement. t Resolved, That the public faith is not less solemnly plCdged to the protection, in the enjoyment of all their natural rights—of their persons, property rind domestic rela tions—of the colored population who have been emancipated by the fiat of the people, and under the providence of God; and who deserved liberty by their kindness and fi• delity to our soldiers in prison, or wounded, or seeking escape from their tormentors, and by their courage in bearing, arms for and fighting the battles of the Union. Even as man is more precious than money in every just account, so the honor of the nation is more sacredly engaged to these humble butt never treacherous friends, than to those who hold its oonds stamped with the broad seal of the United States, that their freedom shall not boa umeßory -nor their - jun hopes 01-121C curity, education and elevation in intellec tual and moral improvement disappointed— and this faith must be kept inviolate. 9. , Resolved, That protection to all branch es of useful and productive industry is the only wise policy in our present national condition—is the true plan of restoring the losses and ravages of war—of advancing the prosperity, increasing the national wealtu, and supplying the means of maintaining the public faith with the public creditor, and ultimately wiping out the national debt; that in the provision of internal revenue and the laying the duties on importations from foreign nations, the object should be to cause the iormor to press as lightly upon, and the latter to protect as fully as possible our own citizens who are engaged in works of labor, mining, manufacturing and every other province of home industry, against unequal and unfair competition with foreign capital and policy, which neither contribute to develop the resources of our country, as sist to pay our taxes, nor are concerned to maintain our Government or cotifirm our national power or authority which, during the recent life-strugle, they insidiously and maliciously strove to subvert. 10. I?csolved, That the , administration of the•publie affairs of Pennsylvania by .Gov ernor Andrew G. Curtin, during the years of trial, toil, responsibility and anxiety which have recently passed over us, has been , marked with such patriotic devotion, un yielding courage, constant watchfulness, un wearied labor and shining ability, as have made his name illustrious in tho annals of this Commonwealth, and give, him' a place in the affections and memory of the . peoplo which cannot be lost ; crieviable title of "the soldier's friend" is in itself 'expressive Of the highest eulogium that could be pro rtonncedi on. any. public oikcer and:wlsen his torus of honerable r tl eeful and, most bone jicial service shall close, he shall mit.'be for gotten, but . htdo4 love, affectionate rennin, Carlisle, Pa., Friday, March 16, 43p6 branco and the plaudits of a grateful people shall cluster around his person, and make his name memorable. 11. Resolved, That this Convention con gratulates the people of the State on the passage of a law rdlieying the real estate of the Commonwealth from taxation for State purposes, and tender to the members of the General Assembly their thanks for their con sidwhte attention to relieve the popular bur dens, while they confidently refer to it as a - pi t oef - Of-tlmsuperiml_capacity,ef the Union organization for the benellenCCOaditill—of public affairs, that after a long and exhaust ing war, the debt of Pennsylvania is reduced, and the taxes, imposed in a time of peace by their political opponents, are diminished by the judicious management of executive offi cers and a General Assembly chosen by the Union party. 12. Resolved, That the loyal people of Pennsylvania, having steadily manifested, through the war with the rebellion, their warm regard for the rights of the gallant de fenders of the Union, and never having voted to refuse them the right of sutlrage when in the camp and on the field—a right inestima ble to them and formidable to traitors and their sympathizers only—we take pleasure in' expressing, not now for the first time, their gratitude for their gallantry and devo tion, and declaring again a long settled purpose to appropriate the means and re sources of the Government to the comfort, consolation and support of the disabled survivors, or the widows and orphans of those who fell in the conflict. 13. Resolved, That the services, labors, consummate ability and unyielding faith in the destiny of the country manifested by the Hen. Edwin M. Stanton, as the head of the War Department during the rebellion, have bean of inestimable value to the country, and intitle hiin to the warmest commenda tion of the people. 14. Resolved, That Congress should not, fail to make an equitable adjustment of bounties and allowances to the brave men who were engaged in the military service of the country ; and that we heartily approve of the liberal appropriation now pending in the Legislature of Pennsylvania for the care and education of the orphan children of the soldiers who gave their lives for the sal vation of the Republic. 15. Resolved, That in this crisis of pub lic affairs, full of grateful recollections of his marvelous and memorable services on kbn of battle. we turn to 10” , .... of unfaltering and uncompromising loyalty of Lieut. General Grant, with a confidence not the less significant and unshaken, be rause at no period of our great struggle has his proud munebeen associated with a doubt ful patriotism, or used fur sinister purpose by the enemies of our common country. Reseleed, That any attempt by foreign nations to establish at monarchical government on this Continent, is evidence of a design to destroy the Republic. Regard for our own safety and the future security of the Republic, demands that no such attempt should be permitted to succeed. 17. Resolved, That the Honorable Edgar Con, Senator from Pennsylvania. by his cot rse in the Senate of the United States, has disappointed the hopes and has forfeited the confidence of tilos, to Whom lie owes his place; and that he is het cby most earn estly-requested-to-resign. IS. le es"! vol That the State Central Committee be constituted by the appoint ment of a Chairman lyx the PrcsiLhoit of this Convention, in con , mltation with the Union candidate for Governer, and that the remainder of said Committee shall consist of one member from each county in the State, except that the city of Philadelphia shall have eight membero, and the counties of Lancaster, Decks, Dauphin and A lie gheny each two members, to be named by the representative delegates from said coun ties in this Convention; and that the Asso ciation of Loyal Pennsylvanians resident at - Washington shall also be, allowed one member, to be appointed by their delegates ,resent. The remaining resolutions, except the lest, were agreed to in a body• The last, relative to the formation of (be titan e Central Corn - witte, being before the convention, Mr. Mc- Clure moved to amend so as to provide for the re-appointment of lion. John Cessna le , Chairman of the Central Committee. Mr. Hall advocated the propriety of adopt ng the resolutions as reported without al erntion, and of allowing the candidate of he convention to be consulted in the matter if selecting the chairman. Mr. Out:bran, of York, almo orgod, tho portanee and propriety of consulting Oa nominee upon the question. Further discussion was participated in by Messrs. McClure, Kunkel, and Cessna, the latter asking to be excused from further !ser vice in the position indicated. Mr. McClure finally withdrew his amend ment. The resolutions relative to Congress, Lieu tenant General Grant, Governor Curtin, anq, others, were received with continued eheero ()n motion of 0. J. Dickey, of Lancaster, the convention proceeded to bidlot for a can didate for Governor. Mr. Cessna having been nominated, declined to be a candidate, and expressed the intention of casting his vote for that man whose name promised to ensure more strength for the Union cause than any other. The first ballot resnited follows : Ma jor General John W. Geary received 81 votes ; Winthrop N. Ketchum, 80 votes ; den. Harry 'White, 8 votes. On motion of Mr. Connell, of Philadel pm", tbo.nominntlOn — WElS rrtnclo "unatiliiloll9, amid intense enthusiasm. On motion, a committee, consisting of It: P. King, Goo. V. Lawren - ca and Wm. .13: Mann, was appointed to wait upon the suc cessful candidate, and also upon the gentle men whose names had been mentioned be fore-the convention, and invite them to ad dress the meeting. During the absenbe of the committee the convention called upon Hen. Thomas Mar shall, of Allegheny, for some remarks. Mr. Marshall endorsed the nomination, and stated that in a conversation he had with General Geary, that gentleman expressed his endorse ment of the course of Thaddeus Stevens. If he stood up in the position ho then announ ced, he would receive such a majority in Al legheny county as would make Roister Cly mer wish. he had never received a nomina tion. [Laughter end cheers.l Hon. John Cessna was next called upon. I - to congratulated the convention and the loyal mon of the d_puntry upon the result of the deliberationa of that body,'and ho then referred to , the Importance of the struggle upon which they were about to eater, Those Who had predicted division and contention in the Union ranks would soon be undeceiv ed, for Pennsylvania was ,as much in earnest now as she had been in thd'eier. Addresses were also delivered by Dlessrs. A. K. McClure and•Galtisha A. •Grow." : • • Mnjor G . onei'al Geary, the ettnaiiiat'6'iif'O' th con vehaoa,, was thenintrodp.cod by the com mittee..

He accepted the nomination with the firm and unfaltering determination to sustain the great principles of equal justice which un derlie our republican institutions, And a hearty endorsement of the principles em bodied in the platform. He received it also as due to the three hundred and fifty thou sand-soldiers-of---the-Statoof,l',etinsylvania, who had clone battli3 valiantly for then' 661M try and for liberty, He assured the conven tion that as far as he possessed the ability, with the aid of intelligent Union men of the State, the coming grand political cdrtest should be fairly and honorably conducted to its legitimate termination and a still grand er future, Hon. Winthrop W. Ketchum, of Luzerne; General Morehead, of Allegheny ; Colonel Harry White, of Indiana county; Hon. John Scott, and William B. Mann, followed in endorAement of the nomination. The greatest excitement prevails in LI city to -night. Bands are playing, the peo ple are cheering, guns are being tired, and there are all possible manifestations of joy. After General Geary :lad spoken, the fol lowing despatch was read amid great excite ment and applause : Hun. ,labia .W. Purnell, Harrisburg : • My acquaintance with General Geary is of long standing.

Of ti remaining portion there are those who have been more or less active rebels throughout the wealthy and intelligent class, and those whoare not large property-holders, and who are generally without property—a clans which he found in no ether would come generally under the vagabond law, without any visible means or support — not all blacklegs, but principally noa pr,v -erty-11”1,1,,N, or property-holders to . a less extent, lie found the feeling manifested by these two classes entirely different : the mo s t intelligent, and as a general thing the most wealthy men in that portion of the State, whether they have been in the rebel service or not, are more favorably disposed to war d, the Government than the other class; they appear more willing to accept the quention raised by the war as settled, and in favor „r inettsms.s calculated to adapt that country as rapidly as possible to the new order of things; he did not know but what he spoke a little too rapidly in saying that this is the temper of the class, because he had naturally, frotn choice. been brought in cot tact more with la4lc holding these opinions ; but he be lieved it was generally true that there isamong them lenn bat...mons, Ins ht/Stiii Ly, Itlld looking forward for a future time when a second trial of arms may be hail, then he found whom', the other class. When our troops lirst went to \\ extern Texas the feel ing was an acceptance of the fortunes of war. The question had been tried by bang‘, but had resulted adversely, and the general dis position was to submit to the result. Since tie he had noticed a gradual change in the manifestation 01 feeling, which has been growing more and more independent, and at the time he left this class were becoming more arch more outspoken in their bitter ness against the United States Government, and more hostile toward the officers and soldiers of the army in their intercourse with them. It appeared to be only restrained in terms from breaking out into acts of violence toward our officers by the superiority of our numbers. Occasional difficulties occurred, which the witness related. In response to the question as to what has produced the change of feeling he replied, the conduct of the Government ; of tho Ad ministration ; the facility with which par dons were reported to be granted ; the gene ral disposition of the Administration to be lenient, which he had frequently heard spoken of by these people, that they had strong friends in the North and in this Gov ernment. The feet that they had strong party friends in the North appeared' to be the principal ground of encouragement they had for supposing the rebellion to be over looked, and they could once more get the political power in the hands of the South.— The freedmen's bureau is an absolute neces sity. The witness, in reply to o. quontion, s aid , r.-He might be extreme in his opinion, but when you come below what is called the educate . and intelligent class of whites, the ,must intelligent class next are the negroes ; `filey know more of what is going on than the poor whites; and show a continual dis position to learn and improve. Major. General David T. Stanley testifies that he served in Texas before and after the breaking up of the rebel army. Ile found matters unsettled. The negroes had learned the disposition which was to be made of them by the Government; that is, they were free, In the immediate vicinity of the troops there was no effort on the part of masters to restrain, them ; but at points somewhat remote—and that is a country of long distances—at a point forty or fifty ITIROS : away from the troops, the former owners tried tO constrain the negroes to remain on the plantations. They threatened them and Sometimes used violence, killing them in some instances. The troops endeavored to arrest the murderers and arrested those guilty I of whipping negroes. Texas had not been, conquered, the people asserting the State had not been surrendered by Gen. Leo. The Germans aro a loyal people and go beyond ' the Ameriean Union sentiments vastly.-r, The witness said, besides these the only Union then whom 'he know in TeXas men of any influence would be comprised in ten per sons. He did . not think there used be any fear of an . outhreak or resistance to the Go vernment, but staled if. we become involved in a foreign 'war almost the entire Ameridan population of Texas would go over to our_ enemies if they, thought they had a chance of succeeding; and this was'not only his. opie ion but he hack heard, the same opinion ex pressed' Wiiiher Men of ability there. The wourieU-Of Toints' Vere universally rebel . ;,' cOntoMptous.and disposed to bo p insolent to American officers ,whenever they'-could; as fo the feeling of the people, it ha .been bit ter since the fall of the rebellion, excepting Wet torn Texas;•they Would' elOet'candidates for officio faysmable to rebellion; , the ivitneini' said la. canWerqd Time In a worse; aandi.:', 1 tt' Llt (I i„,, . tion than any other state; for the reason that they were never whipped there; in the course of his testimony he said there was more solid money in Texas than any other state; the people lef,t to themselves would hold the negro in bondage; the people are generally in comfortable circumstances; the keeping of a military force in Texas is a necessity for the next five years. Lieutenant Colon( I 11. S. Ball testifies there seems to he a very general desire and earnest wish to be immediatly admitted into the Union , which takes the shape of a de hiand ofitbsolute right; but there is no' love expressed for the Government; on the con trary, there is an expression of hatred for the people of the North, of Yankees gen erally; while the idea seems to be that they should at once obtain possession of political privileges and power which they once had. The.'y seem to have en idea flint they are entitled to all the rights under the Consti tution which they ever had. They express bitterness against those whom they charac terize es rattier - its, and denounce most se verely the policy of th party which they term the radical party. They consider Atm freedmen's bureau an unmitigated nuisance. Ifth is were abolished the negro would be forced to Brigadier General NV. E. Strong, inspec tor general, gave testimony on the condition of the freedmen. When the negroes were held in bondage they were, as a rub:, treat ed well ; cases of extreme cruelty were very rare; it was then for the interest of the mas ter to take care of and not ill trout them ; now it is quite different ; they have no inter est in their welfare, and seem to take every opportunity to vent their rag() and hatred on the freedmen. They are frequently beaten unrnermfully, and shot down like beasts, withm t provocation and followed with hounds and maltreated in every possible way. It is the same old story of cruelty, only there is more, of it in Texas than in any other Southern Sint(' the witness had visited. One campaign of our army through the eastern part of Texas, such as was nude by 3fajor General Sherman in South Carolina, would greatly improve the temper and generosity Of the people. The most intense hatred is shown by many citizens of that country to ward Northern men and the officers and sol diers of the army and the United State Gov ernment. The following is an gutting of the I,esli mony taken with , rOgat'll- 1.41 , -.1A0Z 4 / 1 1-L.-J-Wiak itetdiS, COHN'tor of customs in that State he general impression riming the peo ple that they had been overcome but not conquered.- There has been no material change for the better in tiny portion of the State lately in rebellion ; the people have a bitter aversion to what they call the Yan kees or Northern men. They have nu love for titian. Ile would nut know where to lay his hand up n a man Who rem ly loves the Union at the present clay. He would just as soon rapect to find a white raven on the; sand banks of Florida as to find a Union Wall Who has always resided there.. There !night be some, but he had not found them. Those who are apparently friendly are de ceitful 1 . -im circumstances, and from what he witnessed if they had the power they wool* destroy the Union men. The presence of a military force in Florida is necessary to se cure the rights of property and the lives of citizens, both whites and blacks. Marvin testified that when he was appointed Provisional Governor of Flo rida, it was purely under military e'introl ; lie detailed the circumstances attending the steps taken by the Federal Go vernm e n t to reorganize the State; the number of l e who Wi.t . t. patio 11 , d Maki the ilia WO'S( Oath did not ~X.CPed siren thou.aa ; un being questioned as to the election of delegates to the convention, he said he did not think any ticket was run in any of the counties which could be called in opposition to the recon struction of the Union ; about, ono-half of the delegates previously belonged to the Con federate army nearly one-fourth of the en tire number claimed to be Union men al! the Linn., and avoided being drafted into the-re bel service, and (lid not participate in the movement ; the other fourth rather sympa thized (vith secession. The examination was nut completed, as (;overnor Marvin had to leave the c it y . Rev. L. ,I. Hobbs testified that in Florida th e feeli ng against the Government is bitter, m uc h more Su faun it was three or four months: ago. There was a time when the people seemed to be very much disposed to do anything that the Government would require of them. They are now quite bitter, and say what they would not dare have said three moths ago. They talk treason on the street without any concealment. The great ma jority of them do so—the majority of the lower clas(tes. A. few intelligent citizens, whom lie regarded as honorable men, de ph(eQ the expression of such opinions, but they are I cry inuch in the minority, and can have but little influence in the affairs of the State, government. The change in tone is because of the leniency manifested by the present Administration. The following is a synopsis of the testi mony taken in relation to Louisiana: Thom as W. Conway, who occupied the position of assistant commissioner of freedmen's af.- fairs, testified that his field of duties was in the neighborhood of Now Orleans, compri sing twenty parishes. There was a consid erable loyal sentiment, not an element of which became loyal since the occupation, but of men «ho were previously loyal. Il s e was brought in contact. with property holders of slaves, and he was confirmed in the opinion that they had not changed, but were opposed to the Government, They were not willing to make their opposition physically but se cretly and quietly. They would always throw obstacles in the way of the work of the bureau, and the issuing of pardons em boldened and encouraged them to exhibit a spirit of defiance toWard the officers of the Government and toward loyal man. Brigadior , Ganoral Dgolittlo, who served' in the northeastern part of Louisiana, testi fies that among the better class of citizens, while he did not think there was a very hearty loyalty, perhaps there was a disposi tion to conduct themselves in support of the Government; the greater number, perhaps, regretted the war more from the fact that their property was destroyed, and so much suffering entailed upon them, than because of the undertaking itself ; a great many were sorry they had not succeeded, but were willing to accept the condition of things, and make the best of it, and do everything they could now to support the povornment, and there were others who had just as much bit terness as ever toward the Union people. ' Rev. Joseph E. Roy, agent of the Home Missionary Society, who went to Louisiana on evangelical business, testified that while the people were disposed to be loyal, they still retain the old sprit of accession. They have a bitterness of feeling against the Union element, and especially against thoold Union men of the South. The Government should keep the army there for the protection of., Union men and freedmen. D. A. Heins, testified ho was a resident of Rapidos parish until the rebels burnt him Out ; and as an indication of rebel feeling re lated howtholiad been treated. ' The rebids beat him violently, and would have mur dered him but for the interference bf friends, because ho had been in the Union army. Ho said it would not be safe to withdraw the troops, and that Northern'.men aro stig matized ns damned Yankees. • J. W. Shaffer, in his testimony,' said-ho' found a deep-seated ..desire= to repudiate' the national- debt.' l : Mori. John Coved° of Pennsylvania, who visited the South in dune and July;' testified that, with' regard to the temper and spirit'of the people, the politicians who- remained at home, and particularly the • female portion of the community, indulged in very bitter ,feelings towers the United States Covern ernment:--much more hostile than the sol ,diers of :titasurrexo3,red rebel army. :Many plimterii have ,d'et9rtaino to liave,t4l9 Om TERMS:--$2,00 in Advance, or $2,50 within the yey try, and some had already left, believing that they could never take part in the Govern ment which they feared would lay a heavy hand on the participants in the rebellion. In conversation with a multitude of ofri• ears and soldiers of Kirby Smith's army, he was surprised to tlnd how docile and sub missive they were, never in a single instance hearing an unkind feeling expressed towards the Government. Tho general expression was that they were well whipped ; that they were glad the war was over, and were ready to come back and submit to What was re -quired of theme- , Many of-the.more -intelli gent said their leaders had made a great-mis take in going into rebellion against the Gov ernment ; that they should have endeavored to accomplish their political purpose by po litical measures in which they feel sure of the aid of Northern Democrats, but that by participating in the rebellion they had tied the hands of their Northern friends. The men of the army seemei not to have the re motest expectation of being entrusted again with political power or privileges, at least for some time. When Governor Wells re turned from Washington with a Dr. Cott man, a former secessionist, and Mayor Ken nedy, the rebel element appeared to ”tia, tae reports he brought from Washington. He [Governor Wells] stated in a public meeting that the President was a Southern man and a Democrat, and. he would be a bulwark bet Ween the South and Northern Abolitionists and fanaticism, and made open issue with Mr. Lincoln's ad ministration—charging it with the contrac tion of an enormous debt, and said Mr. Joh n - son's administration would be of a very dif ferent character. While this speech encour aged the rebel element, it equally discoura4ed the loyal element, being the first intimation to the latter that the Government had be trayed them. Mr. Corode speaks of having himself ad dressed the Union men, denying the allega tion of the Governor concerning Johnson's administration, and urging them to organize have their men registered, and register the names of colored men thus authorized con stitotionally to vote, viz; Those who had served in the Union army, that paid taxes, and those who were educated—promising that if excluded by rebels from the polls,and beaten the rebel candidates for Congress thus elected would not be allowed to take their seats,• he stated that the official appointees ..-OLUOVerliCir vs I.ll,Zlyit class of men at home, c and one high official had kept blood-hounds during the rebellion _with which Union men were hunted to death; Union men, who had been barbarously per secuted during the rebellion, felt obliged to remain within military protection. and were unable to return to their homes. Over one hundred relict officers had been appointed to office by the Governor. After this the rebel offieers and soldiers, as Mr. Covode reports, became much more defiant, and freely dis cussed their plans for political ascendancy ; to this end they began tu register for voting, and if unable to pay their taxes, the money was, furnished them, and of a list of seven th(nisand only about two thousand three ,hundred took the oath of allegiance as re quired. lie was asked by loyal men to r otify them in case they were to be abandoned to the control of rebels that they might have time to get away. Such men declared they could not live there if the military should be withdrawn, and an instance is given of a man who ventured to return home bring dirven away. In conversation with Gov. Wells, he re ports a demand of the Governor upon the Governinent for pay Mr slaves emancipated where and when toll that the plantations could not be worked without them, he said "we can import labor from abroad or from the Nhi•th, - lit said ho found the freedmen working well, and in every case wad told by planters that they worked a, hell when slaves. The highest wages paid.so far as he heard, was eight dollars per month and sup• port Some of them manifested a. want of con fidence in theft former masted., many of whom were unwilling to make bargains with good faith; some worked for one-eighth or a tenth of the crop and their support; some were unwilling to raise Colton or sugar lest it should be taken from thew, hut tier were willing to rskc corn; some who farmed for themselves in 186.1 saved several hun bred oath, and were now hiring others to work tor theta. lle reports a universally expressed determination of the uegroes, whenever questioned. to vote for the Gov ernment and not fur rebels, and states th tt he never tound in the South a disloyal ne groe. lle stated that he had !nude a report -to the President, of which he retained only a rough draft. One of its conclusion was that, it the rebel element was allowed to vote in the South at that time, every member re turned to Uongress would be hostile to the policy of the Federal Government, not only as regards the payment of the national debt but in reference to the emancipation of the uegroes; that while they expressed a willing ness to submit to emancipation, they coupled with it a determination to regaillite their own affairs with the freedmen and control their system of labor, some declaring ;hat the system of negro labor would be better fur them tbam befor the Government should care for the er;iplesitnil they would control the able-bodied. lie stated that he urged upon the President the immediate retrlOVai of Gov toot. Wells, who had betrayed his trust, ant expressed himself unfavorable to trusting the people to administer the affairs of that stale. Ho also recommended the continu ance of military government in other States. 'Nicholas Niekleby"--The Orbx "tiqueere. The following curious repult if a recent conversation held by the writer with au En glishman now traveling, in the United States, is given in an Eastern journal: In the midst of n familiar chat, he 'Did you ever read Dieken's Niriodus Nick leby?" I answered "yes" "Well "returned he, "Old &totters was my I old master, William Sh w." And here you have the rest of his story: One day when I was passing by a bookstore on Holbert - le Hill, London, mar the Saracens Head Hotel. I saw a finely though comically-devised pic ture of a schoolmaster. On stop„ing to ob serve it more carefully I recognized the lineaments of my old York hireschoolmaster Shaw, and I went in and purchased the vol ume containing the picture. and found that it was Dicken's Nicholas Nicicleby. A short time afterwards, I met on old schoolfellow by the name of Bishop, from whom Dickens got the fuots of the school part of the story. He told um that he had put Dickens in pos session at them its the surest way he knew of to pay off old Shaw for his brutality. I asked him in what part of ,Yorkshire the Show Academy (Dotheboy's Hall) was situ ated, and his reply was at Bows, and then by piecemeal,. examined 'the characters of Squeers, (Mr. Shaw,) Mrs: Squeers, (Mrs. &mei ) ) Miss . Squeers, (Miss Shaw,) Miss Helen .Shaw and Master Wackford, (Mr. Johnny Shaw,) Shaw' was to.a dot ab Dickens representalieri Shif ,,, tieed' to take' all our pencils, met:, shirts, collars; etc.,• and either poll them or give them to Johnny. Olt, what a hateful little follow he was! He'd steal our balls,' and 'we did'rit dare to •speak to his father about . them, 'he 'alWays kept' them. Miss Shaw is unfairly. drawn by' Dickeni'; she was well educated and.constd erably'refined,' having , ' been' 'saut — to a first class boartllng-School.

One day, getting mad at a boy for a slight fault_ itt pedmanship, he struck him with a rod aird . cut open his right cheek". The assistant masters'were orphaned boys whom cruel guardians had apprenticed to him. One of them had a large fortune left him by his parents, but his guardian had apprenticed hircoo Shaw as farmer boy and teacher, and had kept the fortune himself. Mr. Shaw's large farm was cultivated by the boys. If they didn't work hard enough they were flogged or allowed half ration. For nearly two months they had to work at haying, tbeschool being divided into throw ers and rakers. After the having, old Shaw would say to the boys in the writing-class: Fit not flog the rakers, for their hands are Bore; but woe unto the throwers." NO, 11, Ile used to go to London twice a year, and then the boys had to write letters telling their parents what a good matt Mr. Shaw was, and how kindly he treated them. Be fore the letters were written, he used to say, " I defy a boy of you to say that I ever took away a collar, shirt, or even a pin from him, but Mrs. Shaw did that pal tof the busi ness. When in London, he quartered at theStirctan's . 4ead. Once in three NV oeks the boys were ranged in rows, and thie as sistant master went round and saw whether each boy had his lead spoon, fork and knife in hand; if he hadn't them, he lost his pocket money for two or three months. Atter the pub lication of Nicholas Niekleby, Mr. Shaw lust all his pay scholars, and so he apprenticed his apprenticed schoolmasters to shoe makers. Blacksmiths and carpenters. Mrs. Shaw in about two years afterward-, died of a broken heart. tier contemptible old hus band died almost an idiot. Helen marred a low drinking fellow; Johnny became a London loafer; and the second son Jonathan, mlie ~,nutod medicine, spent n.hoi.‘rer was left of the old mans property among his fellow student 3 drinking and high living generally; but for some years has been a village phy sician in his native place, n Bows. John Brodie actually existed in John Boats, the - village shoemaker, who bad toe humane habit of helping the boys iu running away from Shaw's dungeon, as he called the school. When a boy came to the school, his clothes and other things were taken posses sion of by Mrs. Shaw, and he wan given pants of leather which had been worn by generations before him, and which bad been co patched with different colored cloth that the poor school boys mistakenly called them "Jo,eph,s coat of many colors." When Mr. Shaw and all the contemptible tribe of Yorkshire schoolmasters had been shown up and ruined by Dickens's Nickleby the London Dispatch came out advising Shaw and his fellow sufferers to prosecute Dickens for libel; but my brother and I who by bitter experience knew the truth of Mr Dickens ' s exposition, wrote to the editor of that gaper, assuring him that the book was almost literally true; and then the Dispatch pitched into old Shaw more savagely than Dickeni young Londoner, came into the school as assistant teacher after I 1 -ft. Wise men would be the aristocrats of the world, and govern it as they pleased, if it were not that Inds are more than a match for them.

They are de-tided to arrest the progress of the man of merits and to render his talents useless; for the roan most expert in striking sensibility, rea son and mind, can do nothing where there is neither mind, reason, nor sensibility. The artful schemes of the wise man are often defeated I.y the defects of his inferiors in iotelleet For instance, three English men Were [IIIII6IIV a thief who was a native of Wiltshire.

This is a fact which the experience of almost any practical man of the world will hear testi mony to. For instance, a man who was to,pass over a certain piece of road haunted by a ferocious dog w di attacked every one that came to his way, laid all his plans for subduing, his brae adversary As soon as the dog should spring upon bun, he deter mine., to siei.e him by the ears, and thus he felt sure he could toaster him.
