The Proper Spirit.

The following remarks Of the New York
Herald on the great and decisive battle
about to be fought, are both timely ard
just:
1t has been lately rumored, and in some
quarters insisted upon, that there was q very
decided disagreement between General Grant
and the Administration as to the manner ia
which the War was to be conducted this season.
KumOrs have also been widely circulated to
the effect that Generals Mcclellan and Fremont
were again to have commands. After most
diligent inquiry upon these subjects we are
convinced that not one OF these stories has
any foundation in fact We are certain that
there is no difficulty difference, as so perss-
tently stated by the Western opposition pa
pers, between the War Department or the
President and General Grant, but that, on the
contrary, the greatest harmony prevails in all
the councils of the administration upon the
conduct of the war. Mr.. Lincoln, with the
intellectual boldness that sometimes appears as
so strong point in his character, at le1gth ad.
mits broadly and squarely that he has no mil
itary ability at ALL and consequently has given
everything into the hands of Gen. Grant, and
for the first time in its history the administrs-
ton is united in support of the commander of
our armies
Neither is it probable that any change will
be made in the present positions of Generals
Mcclellan AMI Fremont. Gen. Mcclellan is
not likely to leave his present retirement
through any agitation made in his favor by his
friends, nor is the government likely to call
him from that retirement except in some great
public necessity; and no such necessity can be
apprehended while our armies are commanded
by Gen. Grant

was stripped of everything save shirts and
drawers. Even his stockings were taken. He.
was shot through the head, tho ball passing
through the temple. He was lying on his
face, with both hands convulsively clasped to
his eyes.
As none hut the murderers were present,
have not been able to ascertain any of the in
cidents of those last sad moments of our dear
friend, but can only in imagination consider
the terrible anxiety of that sad period.
Thus persisted my dear friend, who, by con-
slant association and united interest had for
the period of our acquaintance been most
closely connected, and but for wonde in
terposition of divine Providence in my behalf,
we both would have persisted together, and in
the have manner. had learned to love him
dearly; l had found him brave. generous and
faithful. He had not personal enemy in this
region. Always courteous and generous in
his bearing, all loved him.
The remains of Mr.. Cathcart had become
somewhat decomposed before got them into
a metallic case and will not bear inspection.

death he wrote to his sister. I found the let

Rebel Endorsement of the Fort pil.
low Massacre.

The rebel papers treat the massacre of
our troops at Fort Pillow as just retslia-
ton for the destruction designed by Col.
DAHLeREN at Richmond and for certain
foul outrages upon helpless women which
they charge upon our negro soldiers in
Gen. BUFFERS department. The Rich
mond Ecamimer not only justifes the
Fort Pillow massacre, but wants to see
this barbarous style of war continued, in
order to inspire ga salutary terror in the
Yankees" Such declarations as these
from the Ecaminer show Us the necessity
of exacting the most prompt and terrible
expiation of these barbarities if we
would not want to see them repeated:
Gen. Hoke, Judging from the large number
OF his prisoners, Cat Plymouth, N. G. ) does
not seem to have made such thorough work as
that by which Forrest has so shocked The ten
der souls and frozen the warm blood of the
Yankees. The resistance he encountered was,
probably, not SO desperate. and the blood of
the victOrs not SO heated though in fOrtif-
cation carried by storm the loss of the garrison
must inevitably be large The strict laws of
civilized warfare acknowledges the power of
the victor to put all to the sword in such cases.
However severe such an example might seem,
it would strike salutary terror into the Yam
KEGS, which will be useful to them in the end,
and their melancholy whine at meeting part
of the punishment their barbarities merit is
absurd

n1Es1F. SYLLABUS. "t H
After final judgment obtained in an action,
the palintiff may employ different attorney
to commence garninshee proceedings to collect
the same without formal substitution.
A garnishee summons may be issued by the
plaintiffs attorney upon filing the affidavit re-
duired by statute, without any allowance OF
the same by judicial officer.
A gGnishee summons is process within the
meaning of section IA of article of the State
Constitution and should run in the name OF
the State, but where this is omitted, personal
appearance on the part of the garnishee and a
disclosure by him without objection will waive
the defect. The defendant in the principal
action cannot raise the objection. The gar
nishee may also waive his fees If he sees fit to
do so. i.sv,g
Where the garnishee is firm, composed of
several members doing business under a firm
name, service of the summons upon one MEM
Der is sufficient to predicate a judgment upOn
against the firm, so as to bind the joint prop
erty.
Where the defendant in the principal action
fails to appear at the time appointed for the
examination of the garnishee, the Court can
not proceed with such examination until the
Plaintiff makes proof of the service of the no
tice required by statute upon the Defendant;
The making of this proof is jurisdictional, and
total failure in this point will render the sub
sequent proceedings void. Where however,
an affidavit is filed which has legal tendency
to make out the service, but is slightly ncom-
plete and imperfect, it may be amended by FL
ing new affidavit, unnc pro tune, where the
fact of such service clearly exists and such
amendment is in furtherance of substantial jus.
tice. Where the Defendant was q corporation
and the affidavit stated that the service was
upon A. B., the agent and attorney in fact of
the Defendant, and that said A. B. there and
there received the same" when the statute re-
quired it to be upon the managing agent" of
the Defendant, Held amendable.

Incidents Of the War.

During the battle of Olustee, Florida JER-
ONE DUpoY. of Co. ID, eth G. ", was shot in
the back of the head and killed, evidently by
some one in our own ranks, and suspicion fell
upon a substitute for drafted man, named
JOHN RowLEY, of the same company, who
had quarrel with DUPOY and been stabbed by
him. Sergeant BRoss charged RowLEY with
the crime, when he confessed, and is reported
to have made the following statement:
me at st. Helena; l swore if ever l got a
chcnce I'd kill him. I had one at Olustee, and
1 killed him. Nor is he the only man
have killed or caused to die. cut out the
entrails of sailor ON gunboat since this war
begun; and killed by stabbing man in New
York, which caused me to leave my family and
90 substitute for a drafted man last fall. But
the ghost of Dupoy is the only one that ever
troubled me- Since the battle l have dreaded
nights for they are horrible nights. When on
picket always see DupOy stand a little way in
front, his face all bloody and the bullet hole in
his forehead At night when in my dreams,
he stands ct the entrance. l awake, he is
there, pale and bloody, but van,shes as soon as
see him. could not keep the horrible crime
secret any longer"
He was of course arrested, and will be pun
ished by DEATH
MILITARY EXECUTION. Martin
Smith, convicted OF smuggling powder
and percussion caps through the rebel
lines, was hung at Memphis, on the 29th
OF April. He confessed the crime. He
was born in Pennsylvania, was about thir-
ty-two years Of age, and was for some
time employed as conductor upon the
Mississippi Central Railroad. His father
and mother are both dead, and his only
living relatives are brother and two mar
ried sisters-all residents of Northern
States. He was very respectfully con-
nected, and bore all the indications of
having been a smart and intelligent bus
mess man.

WiuteTing Bees.

Let the bees stand out until about
the time it freezes up for winter, then
select dry spot Of ground that will
rise one foot in fifteen, take wide
dry board, lay it flat or the greund.
drive a short post at each end of the
board for a pole to rest on, each
high enough to clear the tops of the
hives ; put braces on each. side Of the
pole, at each end and centre, Slant
ing out at the bottom, the tops rest
ing on the pole +; get dry boards
on one side take dry straw and put
three or four inches thick, then begin
to store away the bees.
Begin with the strongest stocks ;
set them on the board, raise each
corner half an inch, open every VEN
tilator at the top of the hive: set
them one foot apart until you get the
length of the board; then put on
boards and straw the same as the
other side. Cover the straw with
. three or four inces of earth. Should
there be stocks enough for another
length of boards contlnue it on Just
the same. Makea tube six, eight or
ten feet in length, three or four inches
square on the inside; insert this tube
at the end, atthe bottom, where the
strongest stocks were placed, the
outer end run out to the weather with
a wire screen over it to prevent rats
and mice entering if possible. Make
an elbow Of a foot Or so, at the end
to keep the light from the bees; keep
the end clear from snow that a con-
slant current of air may enter. This
is the bottom ventilation. Make n
tube three or four feet in length the
same size, to insert IN the top at the
upper end Of the house, and thus Sc
cure constant currentOf pure air at
all times, and at the same time keep
the temperature above freezing.
Should the Aparian have stocks
enough to reach sixty feet, have an
other tube enter at the bottom as well
at the top--and also at the upper
end. The boards and straw being
all dry acsorb tho moisture so that
but little mold aeeumuiates while the
current of air keeps them healthy.
The Apariun may go outin the morn
ing when tho thermometer is below
zero and put his ear at the end Of one
of those tubes, and hear the bees
plain and distinct. Whenever the
writer has wintered bees in the above
manner they have come out stronger
and with more honey than when kept
in any other way.
N. B.-When the bees are put up
for winter, do it all in one day if pos
.sible, SO that no rats or mice will en-
ter the straw; and should it not
freeze up immediately keep close
watch every day until it does, that
no rat holes are made anywhere about.
