Surgeons in the Army.

We extract from the Savannah Republican
(whosc editor was himself formerly connected
with the army the following remarks There
is no arm Of the service, from its veteran and
accomplished head down through al its grada-
tons, which is more efficient, more useful and
more entitled to consideration, than the medical
department Of the army.
As General WORTH, in one of his dispatches
eloquently said: exposed 70 all the dangers OF
the day, when others seek reposc from its fatiges
and pcris, they must still refuse rest to their
wearied minds and bodies, that they may minis
ter to the wounded, and alleviate the pwlgs OF
the dying.
1t has long been a question Of dispute whether
the services OF surgeons in tho Army and Nav;'
should be recognized and rewarded MS military
or civil services We have heard nothing lately
Of the subject; but we find from the following
statement in tie Philadelphia North American
that the British Government has settled the
question BY comforting the order Of Knighthood
on several surgeons in the Army and Navy,
which Mt once puts the question at rest.

several surgeons of the Army and Navy for dis
tinguished services. The honor was declined
in every instance. on the ground that the ser
vices rendered were military and not civil. The
London Lancet for August Gath, 1850, contains
a proclamation that the military order of Knight
Commander Of the Bath OK. G. b. has been
conferred upon several eminent surgeons of the
British Army and Navy. Prior to this time, this
order has never been given to any medical officer
whatever, and to no lineal officer below the grade
Of colonel in the Army,o post captain in the
Navy. The order of Companion of the Bath
&C. b. has been given in some instances to line
officers of less rank; but staff officers have been
excluded until now, when medical services in
the Army and Navy are recognized to the mill
tary services, and therefore, when distinguished,
may be rewarded by the honors of Knigh;hood
in the @most honorable Military Order Of the
| Bath"

The Testimony Of a Clergyman.

We make the following extract from the
Mobile Herald and Tribune. 1t suggests many
reflections:
We have now before us, in the IIayneville
(Ala.) Chronicle, which came by yesterday s
mail, the proceedings OF a mass meeting of all
parties held in Lowndes county last Saturday
week, wherein it is declared, with unanimity,
that the principal laws whose enactment Mobile
is called to rejoice over are such that no people
having the ssprit Of freemen will submit to
themr Even the clergy has laid aside its robes
Of peace and gwen testimony against these infa-
nous acts A letter on the occasion was read
from an invited guest, the Rev. r. b. Cater.
We have room to copy only a few sentences
from it, as follows:
81 can 90 to England Scotland or Ireland,
(writes the reverend gentleman) and show my
credentials, that am minister OF the Gospel,
of the Presbyterian order and member Of the
Prcsbytery of South Alabama, and | will have
christian courtesy extended to me, so far 80 to
invite me to preach in their pulpits. But if go
to Boston, and some other cities North, and LET
it be known that hail from this slavoholding
State. and am a STAKEHOLDER, so far from being
invited to preach, I will not be allowed TO sit
down TO the community tiblc with thcm
Now, this is a specimen Of the dear Iltion
WHICH we arc W preserve. illil 10
which, if we do not submit We are branded
with treason and are to b. regarded as dis
,tnionisfs. We are not now squabbiing about
the Union who will preserve and who will dis
solve it. That question is not now debatcablc
Our Northern friends have settled it for us
nithom our consent and against orr wtshes
They hare dissofred the Constitutional Union, to
all in,epts and purposes, and if you will leave
il to foreign arbitration, they will tell YOU so
Disguise it as you may, the question which we
at the South have now to meet, IS one plsGi and
easily to be understood; and would have every
Southern man, Wing and Democrat, to look il
full in the face, and determine IT. II is "'ohether
,cc mH suffer the abolition Of slarery, and olr.
selrcs and our children to be reduced 10 state q
peonoge"
We have also the proceedings of two similar
mectings-the one in Chambers county and the
other in Talapoosa.

Hen Ana ptinciplss.
The New York rlol,e nays:

The So0Aevn Press, in copying an article of
ours, speaks Of thu Syracuse nomiaees, ~ being,
a majority Of them, avowcd Fre%soiltrs." As
We understand il here, Mr.. Press, and rs il
should be understood everywhere, the candidates
of that Convention are bound and tied down by
the resolutions passed by it, and BY accepting
their nominations tactly pledged themselves to
support them Those resolutions are on record,
and We challenge you to find morsel of Free
soil' about them. Our motto is ~principles not
men,"
| Now, as has been well said, to cry out ~prn-
ciples, not men," is as absurd as to talk about
alove, not women Principles cant vote
and Iegislate, but men do--and of what avail
are all the principles in the world when the
charge of them is committed TO unprincipled
mens
The phrase is an empty abstraction-good
principles and honest men to carry them out is
the only true basis on which any platform should
be erected
But unhappily the Globe cannot sustain its
position even when tried by its own test--for
in the very next column Of the same paper we
find an editorial, which declares that there was
a sacrifice Of principle on the part of the Con-
rcntion, whose action it so lauds-and repu-
dates its own motto by taking exception to a
man.
Speaking Of the admission Of JOHN VAN
BUREs into that Convention, it uses the follow
ing language:
TO the other, we say that while we regret to
differ with them in sentiment and opinion on the
valne and soundness of the elective franchise,
we cannot consent to crafty them for any miser-
able considerations of expedency, by approving
the admission to n position in the party, of n
demagogue ,cho erhibas no marks of contriion
for ms past trenSon---an admission which was nm
insult to the Democracy Of this city, and calcu-
lated to hold forth to rutianism premium, for
future violations OF the sanctity OF the ballot
box. We are aware that the Inducements to
this act Of injustice on the part OF the Conven-
ton, are said to llaye been desire to promote
harmony and secure union But we cannot
believe thai any such sacrifice of principle 1cas
necessary even for such purpose, and we must
continue to consider it indefensible and unjusti-
fable, incxcusable, and as precedent, most
pernicious.
With reference to the resolutions, they do
not, indeed, commit the candidates to anything,
for they are most thoroughly non-committal.
AS one of the Free-soil papers said in giving in
its adhesion to the nominations, the resolutions
3mean everything or nothing" and srcsemblc the
little end of nothing whitfield down.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
FRIDAY. Sept. 81, 1876

FRIDAY. Sept. %, 1850.
Mr.. STEVENS, of Pennsylvania, by consent,
introduced resolution authorizing the payment
of per diem of member Of the House, to the
widow of the late Henry Mes, from the date Of his
dccease until the close OF the session. Agreed to.
Mr.. WENTWORTH presented report from
the select committee on the Congress printing,
and asked that it be read, laid on the table and
printed.
Mr.. BAYLY objected to the reading at that
time, as it more important to dispose of the
appropriation bills
Mr.. WENTWORTH said that there was an
amendment on one Of those bills relative to the
printing to be considered and TO do it iudiciousy,
the Hodse would need the information which the
reading Of the report would afford.
The SPEAKER said no remarks were in order,
as objection was made.
y On motion Of Mr.. BAYLY, the House resolved
itself into a Committee Of the Whsle on the state
Of the Union, Mr. BuRr in the chair, and resumed
the consideration of the
CIVIL AND DIPLOMATIC BILL,
which had been returned from the Senate with
amendments.

THE GovERNoR's PRocLAMATIoN.-We can
add nothing to the force of the language Of the
Proclamation of Governor Towns to the people
of Georgia, which we this day lay before our
readers. 1t is characterized by dignity and
elevation Of tone appropriate to the grave occi.-
sion. 1t plainly yet impressively States the
occasion which convenes the people md pour
trays the perils which surround their rights and
their domestic institutions. s
In the invocation to n calm, deliberate, and
fraternal consideration Of the wrongs committed
ami the redress which they may call for at the
hands of the people, as well as of the proper
measures for their future security, we candidly
unite
This is no time for bitter strifes, and angry
ordinations and recriminations.
We hope that good temper and a tolerant and
fruternal spirit will pervade the discussions Of
the people on the subject now before them, and
that the Convention to assemble on the 10th of
December may embody much of the wisdom
and the patriotism Of our State. May it re-
member that the motto on the great seal of
Georgia is WISDOM, JUSTICE AND MODERATION.
May it at the same time be duly impressed with
the fact that the destinics not OF Georgia alone,
but in some measure of NIL the slaveholding
S;tites are to be influenced by the result of its
at berations.--Augusta (Ga.) Consiit,ainaalisf.

SIR: On arriving in this city last evening,
was handed a paper containing your reply to
General WALLACE, of South Carolina, in which
you say that left Texas in a hurry" As
this language is ambiguous and susceptible of a
meaning, derogatory to the circumstances Of my

which would be utterly unfounded, have to
request you to state in some one Of the city
papers which contained your remarks, what you

FOR THE SOUTHERN PRESS.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 80, 1862 clock, p. M.
While the steamer Pacific was leaving the
wharf at New York yesterday, for Liverpool,
her wheelhouse caught an old warehouse or shed,
under which were many persons, pulled it down
on them, killing two instantly, and wounding
many-the exact number, in the fright and con-
fusion, could not be ascertained. AT first II was
rumored that thirty had been killed, but il was
subsequently ascertaned only two. As il was,
the scene was truly heartrending.

Hon. R. ". ycanson, q Arkanaas.

We regret to learn thst this gentleman has
announced to his constituents his intention not
to be candidate for the next Congress
Throughout the Late protracted struggle for
Southern rights in Congress, Mr.. JonSsoy has
always been among the foremost of the firm
and faithful Unfaltering, u;.terrified, unde-
ceived and unseduced, no has borne the stan
dard Of Arkansas with honor to his State and
to himself Although such a State has, doubt
less, like the Republic Of oldsmany as patriotic
and as able as he, yet We could hope she will
insist on the continuance of one so we'll tried in
Congress- and that he will make personal sacri-
fees, if necessary for that cause he has so much
at heart
None but those who have witnessed the
struggle can realize the feelings with which
they separate, who have stood side by side
against the assault OF overwhelming numbers,
and with which, when the meet again, they viii
lament the absence of those endcared to them
by such imperishable recolcctions.
Free-soil, or help yourself to Home
The Free-so seeds sown in California are
already bringing in their harvest of socialism,
anarchy and disorder
The Albany Register thus strikes at the root
of the matter Why do not the "Reiorners'
weed out their own gardenss
1t will be seen by reference to our California
news that the antrent spirit is abroad there
The execution Of legal progress is obstructed
and the officers of the law are shot down like
wild beasts by lawless bands of armed men,
who are there designated by the expressive ap.
pellaton of .squatters," but would here be
better known by the name of nnti-rcnters. The
sq,atters, however, have this advantage, they
never agreed to pay anything for the lands
which they occupy, but took possession OF
them in defiance at law. But the principle that
" might makes right" is the same in both cases,
and the mode of trying titles is substantially the
same California is new State, society there
is not yet organized, the government is not
finished, and the administration of justice is
necessarily imperfect and unsatisfactory. There
is, therefore, some extenuation if not excuse for
irregularities in her case. But in the heart OF
the State of New York, there is no excuse for
lawless violence, and reasonable combinations
to put down the laws and the tribunals erected
for their administration.

!. Mischief thou art a-foot,"

Announced the staid Naiional InteHigencer
last week in staring capitals:
MISCHIEF THOU ART A-IIoRsEBAcK.
Should the editors now exclaim in still greater
disnay at the sad tale the telegraph tells of its
conservative !" Northern friends from whom
the South was to expect so much. The tidings
from the camp at Syracuse where the Wing
State Convention of New York has been hold
ing its session, are 10 the effect that the Sc
wardites booted and spurrcd have ridden rough
shod over Mr.. DUER, aud those conservatives
who sought to keep up an appearance Of tolera-
ton towards their Southern brethren A series
of resolutions presented by Mr.. DUER as chair
man of a committee appointed for the purpose,
were voted down. and stronger ones adopted by
a majority of two to one-upon which the mi
nority withdrew from the Convention.
The two following will serve ns samples Of
the rejected resolutions The Senator alludedto
in the second, is Mr.. SEwARD--but even that
concession from the Administration Wings
would not answer. The Northern conservative
Wing doctrine is very clearly set forth in the
first Sewardism goes even further. How can
any true-hearted Southron cooperate with men
who occupy either platform?
Resolved, That while the Wing party Of N. York
remain unaterably opposed to the extension ofsave
territory now free, and have doubt Of the
constitutional power Of Congress to prohibit such
extension, liberal spiri of toleration should be
exercised in regard to the conflicting opinions
Of Wings touching the measures which have been
adopted by Congress for the adjustment Of the
questions issuing from late territorial ncquisi-
tons that we rejoice in the admission Of Califor-
MIA free State, and are prepared to acquiesce
in the recent action of Congress for the settlement
Of the boundary line between New Mexico and
Texas and the creation Of territorial governments
for NewMexico and Utah in the confident belief that
these acts of Cancellation will result i'm the exclu-
sion Of slavery in the territory ceded by Mexico to
the United States, and at the same time tend to
restore those cordial sentiments and paternal ties
which ought ever TO be cherished between the diff
ferent sections Of our common country.
Resoircd, That the Wings Of New-York have
confidence in the honest purpose and patriotic mo-
tives that actua,ed the Wing Senator's and Repre-
sentatives from this State in the Federal Legisa-
ture, upon the embarrassing questions which have
been agitated during the present Congress; that
we recognize in their course and conduct an earn
est desire to seek the permanence and advancement
OF the best interests OF the Union, and although in
the conscientious discharge of their duties they
have felt constrained 10 adopt different and anta-
gonistic views, we admire the honesty and approve
the candor and the toler with which, upon
exciting questions, they have nevertheless differed
like brethren

~ We would invite special attention to
the proceedings of the Southern Rights Meeting
in Clicot county, Arkansas, to be found in
another column. That meeting, we have reason
to know, was composed of the very bone and

the great question, and how manfully they stand
up for the rights of the South.
