IGW Gr. Cisco Wss FFC iyed About his
GyD Handwriting.


OTn EaHd-WritiHg.
In the case Of 8Ir John W. Hunter.
charged with forgeries upon the Sub
Treasury, the examination Of which is
now progressing before Commissioner
White, Mr. john J Cisco has proved a
swift witness. Uc swOre positively that
the signatures which Hunter declares
are forgeries were genuine, and he
could not, By the most skillful cross
questioning, be induced to abate a sin
gle jot from this position. He never
had been and never intended to be de
ceiyed, upon the subject Of any hand
writing with which he was familiar II
his personal and business friends
thought tn t he was an innocent man
,hat was their business not his. 1t
man should come forward and swear
that he perpetrated these iOrgeries, the
comDlacentande experienced CiscOWOUld
not believe him. Why Had he not
made up his mind that Hunter had sac
rifced his reputation, destroyed his
family and swiudled the Goyernmet,
for the paltry monetary consideration
produced by these checks, and IN doing
90, had ho-CiscO-not acted quite in
depandently Of others He could afford
to pity the dcIusiOu Of those who
thought that the signature was forged
But after his long experience he was not
going % doubt his own iniallibility.
The custom house officials who proved
their faith in the integrity Of the &C
cused man by becoming his sureties
when he was arrested, simply erred in
Judgment He could not DO guilty Of
such q criovou5 and unaccouutable er-
rOr, for he was-CisCO.
The clear testimony Of this gentle
man threatened 20 fix the crime and IT,
penalty upon one whose 0ntecedent~
were quite as respectable as his own, bui
the s8gacity Of one Of the defendants
lawyers = Mr P.errepout - agerted is
accomplishment, and VIC Will venture
to say, rescued Mr. Hunter from the
peril In which he had been placed,
through Mr. Cisco zeal and seltconh-
dence.
During the examination on Tuesday
last, Mr.. PierrepOnt quietly handed Mr
Cisco a scrap Of paper on which there
vas line written, and said:
Mr Cisco, Is thaty our handwriting
Unquestionably.'
Does it alter it any in your judg
ment that it is blurred q liltle there?
Not st all it Is ueYlssi9uaJy uy
k0rdUyI,irg'
The shreUd lawyer. after this little
episode, induced the witness torciteratc
his former statements and 20 swear
positively, that nobody could dpCeiv,
Ia N IL signature known 70 him, when
he produced % climax that mUst.hay,
been startling, by declaring thai tia
signature chat Nr. Cisco asserted wa
his, was written IN tie presence Of FIVE
or SIX eminent bankers Of this ty, b1

Judge, electrified the aud tors. rolirved

mending that our Government, imme-
diately after every signal success of our
arms, when none can impute its action
to alarm instead of q sincere desire for
peace, shall make to the Government Of
our enemy an Official offer Of peace, on
the basis of the great principle declared
by our common fathers in lTI6, accom-
panied by the distinct expression OF 81
willingness, on our part, to follow that
principle TO It's true logical COnseqUeu-
ces, by agreeing that any border State

expressed SIS to the wishes Of the border

herself by q convention to be elected
for that purpose, after the withdrawal
OF all military forces on both sides from

They also adopted his resolution de
claring that the recentaCt Of Congress
to suspend the writ Of ha5eqs eaypes in
cases Of arrests, ordered by the Presi-
dent Secretary Of War or general officer
commanding the Traus-Mississipp mil
itary department, is an attempt TO main
tain the military in the usurpation Of
the constitutional judicial functions Of
issuing warrants, and to give validity to
unconstitutional seizures Of the persons
Of the people; and the said act, by its
express terms, confines its operation 10
the upholdinC OF the class of UncOnsti
tUiOnal seizures, the whole suspension
attempted to be authorized by it, and
the whole act itself are utterly void
That in the Judgment OF this Gen

ing assault upon the liberty of the peO
pie, without any existing necessity to
excuse If, and beyond the power Of any
possible necessity to justify IL; and our
Senators and Representatives. in Con
gress are earnestly urged 20 take the
first possible oppoi tunity to have 1t
blorted from the record Of our laws
Both houses al-o adopted a resolution
turning over to the Confederate Gov

The Journal contsins the following spe-
cial: The enemy has been wary to day, and
has demonstrated with great caution against
our outer line, which is carefully construct
ed, and extends from river TO river, with
radius of two and half miles from the
Capitol on the roads south OF the city. The
enemy's cavalry nave been in plain, view
all day on the Franklin pike. just before
dusk our cavalry pushed out toward the
enemy's line, causing him TO retire, but
sfterward the rebels reinforced their own
line, st once threw out skirmishers, and
some skirmishing occurred, neither party
however, sustaining any loss.
No rebel infantry has been developed.
Some artillery firing occurred this after
noon on the left, but few shots only were
fred. The defenses are being hourly
strengthened, and no spprshensions need
be felt for the safety of the city.

sOUrHERN NEWS.

NEW YORK, Dec 3.
The Richmond EgamiMsr, Of the sOth,
says there Is 10 very Important news be-
yond the confirmation of the report that
the enemy sent off in the direJtion of the
sea coast small body of cavalry day be-
fore yesterday. They struck the railroad
between Savannah and Augustsat Wsynss-
borough, thirty-six miles from Augusta,
and are said by some 10 have plundered 8
passenger train there gsJLerday- We are
informed the expedition has been inter
Ceytcd, part of the raiders C4FltureOfj zIa
the rest of them driven back on Sherman's
main body. I'D
The object of this movement is easily
seen. This party we're on their way to
Beaufort to carry the intelligence of Sher-
mans position to his government and to
communicate his plans.
The Richmond WAie Of the 30th inst,
says;
From the Southern papers Of the 25th,
received last night we gleam little that Il
prudent to publish.
The Augusta Co7sstitsftionaItst Is in high
spirits.
The Sentinel said: It is to be hoped that
the people of the region through which
SheI man proposes to psss will fling them
selves upon him with courage that shall
do them honor. There is capital differ
ence between his situation and that of
Hood. He is in an enemys country, while
Hood. Is among friends. No sscrifcest
property, no activity Of opposition must
be counted now nor considered excessive.
Tear down bridges, block the roads, Ie-
move or destroy supplies, cut Of fyrsgers,
and fight at every pass. 80.
If sherman should be able to accomplish
such journey as he proposes, forsging IS
he goes, it will he proof that he was not
beoomingly resisted
The RAig, after stating that it is strictly
prohibited from publishing information
concerning Sherman, and says From all
we can see either in the New York papers
or our owR, we are clearly of the opinion
that Sherman is making as fast as he can
move for Beaufort, and thst his design is
to unite his forces with Grants. Wbeth-
er or forces will be able to stop him or
not depends on 50 many contingencies that
it is impossible to form an opinion on the
subject. That he will take either SavAn-
nah, Charleston OF Augusta we do not
fear in the least. If be is able to take
sven Macon, it is more than We believe
