SOUTHERN DIsGIPLINE.-The Richmond
(Va.) Wing of the 7th inst contains the
following: ..... ...
During the session of the mayors
court on Saturday morning, young
German, giving his name as Charles F.
Reese, called officer Kelley out of the
court room, and showing him small
blacNr negro girl, told him he wanted her
taken H. to custody for stealing his pock-
ct book. .ef, s.~... .u..z.. ..
Seeing from hel dropping look that the
girl was suffering t,"om some cause, KEEL
lev asked her what Ms the matter
She told him she was almos, 'e''u ~ tiia'
Reese had beaten her almost to de" - !
On examination he found that she ha.
literally been cut to pieces with a cow
hide from the heels to the top OF her
head. There was not a square inchgof
her body which was not bruised and
gashed in the most horrible manner,
and blood was trickling even from her
head. Kelley asked Reese why he had
beaten the negro in that manner -
Reese said she had stolen his pocket
book, and he was determined to whip
her until she confessed what she had
done with it; that after whipping her
z to this extent, she said she gave it to a
free negro, but the free negro declared
he had never seen her before, and that
ne want wanted Il Kelley to Whip her again, .
Kelley brought both parties before the
Mayor, who, after hearing the circum-
stances, committed Reese to Jail for fu-
ture examination, and ordered physi-
clan to be sent for to see the girl Kel-
ley took the girl to the upper watch
house, and called ina physician who or
dered her to be stimulated and kept
comfortable. Up to last evening, though
repeatedly dosed with whisky, she had
laid in an almost insensible condition
and had eaten nothing.
The girl is about ten or eleven years
ofage, and says she belongs to Mrs. Da-
Wis"

Now that another man has been
elected, and the blockade of the Pennsyl-
vania Senate broken up, to the discom-
future of the Copperhead conspirators,
the rebels have released Senator Major
White. This news being read in the
Pennsylvania Senate, the Copperheads
affected much satisfaction, but the n.y.
pocrisy of their manifestations was SO
apparent as to disgust all honest men.

SUGGESTIONS FOR THE CouRTER.-When
you have anything to say again about Il
resolution of the Sons of Temperance, or
of any other body, not appearing in the
HERALD until several days after its pass
age, explain the reason, as for example
in the last case that it was not sooner
handed in for publication by the com
mittee and the HERALD knew nothing
about it until handed in. If you don't
happen to know the reason, make inqui-
ries, or say nothing about it. In shoft
adopt the rule of speaking only Of what
yep have some little knowledge at least
Tbs This may resiiiii5cc yonrsubiects TO very
small number, but on the other hand it
may help you to reputation for having
some little regard to the truth, and you
know you need that above all things.
moIf you have anything to say again
about the producers" and CONSUMERS
of Rutland, just mention the farmers.
They are a rather important and numer-
Gus class, and are commonly supposed
to be producers" too. They know, as
class, how to vote and behave them
selves at the same time. They take the
HERALD, as all order loving people do,
whether producers" or consumers, and
do not wear ruffied shirts" any more
than you or do. They are SO busy in
their excellent work of producing that
it is often difficult for them to get out to
Town Meeting. Owing to the failure of
many of this intelligent, order-loying,
law-abiding portion of our people to
turn out to the last Town Meeting, and
the turning out en- masse of your delu-
ded West Rutland followers, the meet
ing bacame small pandemonium, pre-
sided over by - who presides over
pandemonium /?
Don't devote any paltry column and a
half again to the task of proving that
clergymen are useless, physicians drones,
merchants, professional and business
men gtlltTtliN u DhihCh Oil community
and farmers not worth mentioning any
how,-while the real upholders, support
ers and mainstays of our social fabric are
the patriotic, liberal and public-spirited
fellow citizens who, as you say, dig in
the abowels of the earth" and are voters
in Town Meeting but not for State or
National officers" tHas the draft any
thing to do with the latter distinction y
They are all good enough in their
places" as you remark of such compar-
atively small fry as clergymen, physi-
clans, business men and farmers Though
YOU forgot to mention the latter specific
ally.) We don't object in the slightest
degree to their exercising all their rights
and privileges, but have they right,
any more than you or /, to be disorder
ly in Town Meeting and abusive OF
peaceable citizens That's the point. And
do they own the town and the seven OF
eight hundred other voters That's the
question. You might as well under

EXCITEMENT IN ST. ALBANs.-The Bur
lington Free Press is informed that con-
siderable stir has been occasioned in st.
Adams, by recent occurrence there.
As related, a soldier of Capt. Browns
Company of the Seventeenth regiment
had been arrested for an assault and
battery, and committed to Jail, On Sat
urday last Capt. Brown demanded the
man of the Sheriff. The demand being
refused, the Captpin marched party of
twelve or fifteen Of his men, armed with
muskets and axes, to the Jail, with the
avowed purpose of breaking in the Jail
doors if necessary to release the man.
Instead of this however, the Sheriff was
seized by Capt. BIS, order, the keys
taken from his pockets, the Jail opened,
and the man taken out.
This, if correctly reported, is decided
ly high-handed proceeding, and calls for
attention on the part of the State au-
thorities.

Gen. Warren's testimony before the
Committee on the Conduct of the War,
in regard to Gen. Meade's course at the
battle of Gettysburg, was decidedly in
favor of that officer. Gen. Meade has
written an explanatory letter to Sena-

ton Chronicle, is completely satisfactory
to all who have read it.

From she Daily of March IA.
- -
From Fortress Monroe.

But little is known as yet of the terms
upon which the exchange Of prisoners
has been resumed with the rebels We
add to the scanty stock of information
what little has come TO our knowledge
through a correspondent at Fortress
Monroe. Writing under date of March
10th, he says, after speaking of the arri-
val of the flag of truce boat with about
700 Federal prisoners, "Now in regard
to the exchange matter, from what
can learn the rebels are willing to eX-
change man for man as far as they will
60, but insist upon having the excess
we have of their men paroled and for
warded. Nothing certain as to any
plan has been adopted as yet, They
may refuse to exchange any more, or
may continue, just as they happen to
feel We have about $4,000 of their
men, and they but 1900 of ours. As
soon as they got possession of their men
they would declare them exchanged, and
pat them into the field again, as they
did the men taken and paroled at Nicks-
burg. Nothing definite has been agreed
upon, and therefore IL is useless for the
friends of those who are confined in
Richmond to build up any great hopes
of their release for the present, When
ever can ascertain any thing reliable
i'm the matter will hasten to forward
it."
Our correspondent also writes of other
matters as follows:
"Priyate Abrams, l39th New York, was
shot to death by musketry at Yorktown
on Tuesday, the Sth. His offence was
permitting private Boyle LIST New York
Mounted Rifles to escape, on or about
the first of Feb. This Boyle was the one
who deserted to the rebels and gave in
formation of the intended expedition
under Gen. Wistar Abrams denied re
ceiving any bride as was stated at The
time.
By the way, send you Gen. Wistar'
address, issued at the time of the raid
1t is rather late now, know, but / an
certain it has not been published. /
was mere chance my getting hold o
this.

Dahlgren, who served with that unfor-
tunate officer during the recent raid a.

to have been found upon the body Of
Dahlgren, was fabrication and forge
~ IN toto. No such order was ever writ
ten, issued, printed, or even considered
by the noble young Colonel, as far as
friends are apprized 1t is believed that
this miserable lie was gotten up for ell
feet, to cover the indignities visited up
on the remains of Dahlgren.
