The national awake" AT GErTYs-
BURG. The practice ct holding "wakes"
over the dead is relic Of barbarism whose
unseemly, not TO say revolving, ooncomi-
tants have all but wrought its extinction

age as President Lincoln was one of the
chief performers, it may be that the custom
has died out of that country only TO spring
anew to this.--Bugaio Courier.
The bitterness and mahgnity of the OPP
position press at the North is equslled
nowhere excep, among its cotemporaries
and allies at the South. We have always
heard that the bite of a copperhead snake
was a virulent poison, but We doubt if it
exceeds in that quality the influence which
the profession and practice of copperhead
principles exercises upon all who are sub
ject to their influence. 1t would hardly
be believed that man living in an enhght-
ened State like New York could be
brought to the writing and Publishing Of
such paragraph as We have quoted above.
1t only goes to show that his mahgnity
towards all those who stand in the way Of
Davis and his schemes does not stop at the
borders of the grave, but that, ghoul-like,
it descends so that il may revel and glul
its malice upon the insensible remains Of
the men it hates for their patriotism

SALE OF LANDS AND OTHER CoNrIs-
GATED Property AT PoRr ROYAL. All
the furniture lefl by the rebels at Port
Royal is TO be collected and sold at auc-
uon by a government agent. The houses
are to be sold on the 18th of January, by
the tax commissioners, to the highest bid
der, and the plantations still held by gov
eminent are also TO be sold-th0se on
Hilton Head Island on the LIST Of Decem-
Der, and on the other islands in January.
On the Sd instant, Gen. Saxton issued q
circular to the freedmen, authorizing them
to locate on the lands to be sold, not ex-
ceedng 20 acres for each head of iaui-
ly--the description Of the land, when To-
Gated, TO be accompanied by the deposit
Of the government price, about Sl.25
per acre. This was done to head of
spectators. The negroes were delighted
with the plan, and are making out their
twenty acre lots all over the department.
A good price is expected for the land to
be sold. The average last spring was only
ST. an acre-now ii is thought that it will
bring at least S., so well did the negroes
succeed who bought in March last.

THE ENEMY VIOLATING THE HosPI-
TAI FLAG. The enemy has been busily
engaged erecting formidable battery in
the rear of the Moultrie House on Sulli-
vans Island. For some weeks past the
hospital flag has been shown at the Moul-
trie House, in order to protect it from our
fire, but it seems the house, instead of be
ing used as hospital, has furnished the
rebels screen behind which they built
the battery in question. A portion of the
roof has been taken off, and other por-
tons of the building pulled down, and il
is believed that everything is so arranged
that when the iron clads make the next
grand assault the entire structure can be
leveled in short time, thus leaving an
open front for the battery. Thus far a
sacred regard has been paid to the hospi-
tai flag but the enemy, having violated its
use, cannot expect the same course sill be
observed in the future.

AHE RUTLAND WEEKLY HERALD. THURSDAY. DECEMBER

The CoNDucr OF the ENGLISH IN
JAPAN. The recent destruction Of the
town Of Kagosima, Japan, can be classed
nowhere else than among the great and
groundless barbarities of the age. The
place was bombarded by an English fleet,
without any previous warning and $780,
600 people were burned out Of house and
home. Ii was designed as retaliation
for the murder of an Englishman named
Richardson, bat every one Of the sufferers
was as innocent of the crime or any par
tcipatlon in II as the British admiral him
self. In September, 1862, the Japanese
authorities requested foreigners not to
travel upon the great public road because
the Damios and their retainers, who were
unused TO the sight of foreigners, would be
travelling upon il and trouble might arise
between the parties, and notice of this
kind was published so that foreigners in
Japan had fair warning. A Mr.. Richard
son, who was returning from China to
England, took occasion to ride upon the
public road in company with three other
persons. one Of them the wife OF Hong
Kong merchant. The party met Da.
MOS party and afterwards the Damio
himself, and were attacked by the guards
for not giving up the road to the royal party
Ia that attack Mr.. Richardson was killed,
and it is Tor that act that Kagosima has
been DESTROYED There was no crime
charged upon the inhabitants and no sus-
picion of any, and it is not in the power
of the English TO offer the slightest excuse
or palliaton for an act which destroyed a
city, beggared It's inhabitants, insulted a
whole nation, and amazed and shocked the
civilized world. The British press and
the British public are almost unanimous
in their regret for the act and their con-
domination of the actors. Richard Golden,
whose views are always liberal and gen.
erallv Just, has published letter IN an
English paper, in which he denounces the
whole affair in the strongest terms and
says it Is a "horrible narration which he
can hardly treat with calmness." The &C
tors in this bloody tragedy have the eff
frontery now TO claim the appreciation of
The government for the zeal with which
they exceeded their instructions and dis
graced their country, but it can be hardly
supposed that the British government will
make itself party to these atrocities.
The Japanese had an uudoubted right to
control their own roads, and those who
Travelled upon them after an order against
it had been issued assumed for themselves
the responsibility of their actions, and
their fate, however hard, must be consid-
cred in some measure as a fitting pun
ishmeut for their temerity.-SprtngJfeld

TIE REBEL CURRENCY DOWN TO Pre-
aYUNE DOLLARS. The Richmond Wing
of Wednesday has long and melancholy
wall over the depreciation of confederate
money. 1t has reason, for the market
value Of confederate notes on that day
was SIG for one OF coin--a eonieperate
dollar was worth a fourpence ha penny, a
picayune, or in federal money 6 IA cents.
And the Wing SAYS it is still declining
There must be comfort in the fact that it
cannot go great deal lower and will soon
see (. worst Notes Of respectable south
ern banks are much better, beng worth
one third as much as gold. The Wing
says the remedy is to stop the issue yt
more treasury notes, to levy a heavy tax
and forced loan, and then take a new
financial start, and that urIl.ess this is done
the confederacy is already done for.
