est feature Of the week was the kind at.
tention shown by the federal officers in
this district u the paroled confederate
Gen. Beauregard and staff, who arrived
here yesterday and left for New Orleans
on Friday. Such coHsideratc action does
a great deal to remove the sting from the
minds OF these brave but misguided men,
Our officers and soldiers can we'll afford to
exhibit spirit of generosity towards the
fallen enemy, and We are glad to see it
done

The Memphis Argus has a dispatch
from New Orleans, dated the 25th. as fol-
lows: ''On the 9th, the main ordinance
depot located in Marshaii's warehouse, No
bile, was blown up with terrible conse-
quences. About 800 persons were killed
and many wounded, and thousands were
buried in the rufus. Three entire squares
Of the city were demolished, and about
5000 bales Of cotton burned The steam
boats Col Cowles, and Kate Dole, with
all on beard, were entirely destroyed \
great portion Of the business centre Of the
city was badly damaged. The damage by
the explosion is estimated a; $1,000 600
Gen. Granger was prompt in rendering
relief and comfort to the sufferers The
cause OF this terrific explosion is uncer-
tain. The ordnance stores, which were a
portion OF the munitions OF war surren~
der9d by Dick Taylor, were in course OF
removal when it occurred The entire
city is more or less injured by the cxplo-
sion."
1t is positively confirmed from New
Orleans that Kirby Smith has surrender
ed. The articles OF surrender w,re signed
on the morning of the Goth. The terms
are those granted Lee and Johnston, and

AFFAIRS IN ARKANSAS.

Col. Charles Bertzoni, commanding in the
District of East Arkansas, has issued an order
to the people of that section of our country in
which he clearly and distinctly avows that
Slavery is abolished and black men are citizens
This officer, an italian we presume from his
name, does not mince the matter in the least
degree. BE comes out square-footed and faces
the music with courage, franbness and reso-
luton that, speak well for him in his posi-
ton. His object is ato prevent the recurrence
of outrages on the persons ofcolored people by
their former owners and other evil-disposed
persons aESssEg a
He proclaims the fact that colored persons
are free in all cases to choose their own en-
ployers, and all employers are absolutely pro-
hibited from taking the law into their own
hands under any circumstances.
He holds and distinctly declares that "all
former slaves have been free since the first Of
January, 1863" and what is quite as good, he
says, "where they have been restrained from
their liberty, the parties who have employed
them since that time, will be required TO pay

by Orders No. 9, dated at Vicksburg, March

treated like free men in every respect
4 This officer makes no distinction in regard
to the color of the skin, and orders the form
er slaves to be treated precisely as if they had
never been in bondage. This order is indeed
a bold one, and although it was made nearly a
month ago, yet we have never heard that it
has been rescinded by our Government, and
we trust it never will be. 1t viii be seen that
Col. Betrzoni bases his order on the great
fact that slavery has been abolished. But it is
difficult thing to get this fact through the
hair Of some Of the former shareholders with
out surgical operation. 1t will at last, how
ever, get through, and their eyes will be open
ed. They will ere long begin to see and to

70 This gentleman, one of Englands most elo-

of Oxford, and we have abundant reason to
rejoice in his election to represent South Lam

has been and is in favor of a. despotic govern

be rejected by this Institution because he was

washington, as the point of desire, and then
.t,e concern of the politician descended till it
came down to his own State, next his own
County, and finally his own dear self as an as
pirant for public Office and chance to plum
der the peoples treasury ! Every man in the
West feels as if he had the whole national gov
eminent resting on his own important shout
ders. He wished his countrymen would re-
verse this state of things, and exercise their
ambition. first for the welfare and honor Of
their own homes-the good of the country, and
the welfare and honor of the State and Nation
would naturally follow.
He mentioned an anecdote that took place
in Vermont whilst he was visiting in that State.
The State elections had just come off, and the
party usually in the majority had met with
defeat. A good old farmer came home from
the village news room, and announced the re-
suit to his equally patriotic wife. ''Whatp ex-
claimed she, ''has our dear Yarmouth fallen
into the enemy's hands ?" ut is alas, even
So" responded the saddened husband. "Well
then" declared she, "if Yarmouth is gone, the
| Union is lost" That's the principle, said Gov
Wright. He wanted every man to feel as if
every earthly thing valuable to him, had its
| first sanctuary in his own home and his own
town, his own State, and if that suffered, the
nation aoas in danger. He verify believed that
the town system of New England was the seed
bed of national democracy. People there be-
| gan the work of legislation at home. They
met in their School Districts to see about ed
ucating their children together on common
ilevel; they were all acquainted with each 9TH
er and their families then if a road between
neighbors was to be made or repaired, or a
bridge was to be built, (they have no bridges
on the public roads Of Ohio,) the people assem-
bled together and legislated upon the subject.
This was popular democracy i; and it was
here that our free institutions were born. THE
SCHOOL HOUSES OF NEW ENGLAND ARE OUR
REPUBLICAN LINE or FoRrIFIcATIoNs. From
these School Districts and 7oacn meetings, en-
igrants have gone forth all over the land that
have spread free principles from Maine to Cal
ifornia. Cold and sterile as New England is
i reputed to be, she is rich in good principles,
and rich in her enterprising and intelligent
population. Said Gov. w. @If North Ameri-
ca taro hundred gears ago had been first settled

hare had no New England; and If zoe had not
had d Netc England, zoe should n Der, In all hu-

publican States. 1t was one of the most benef-
cent ordinations of Providence, that this coun-
fry shnt1ld have hean orioi,1allv settled on the
Rock of Plymouth. The rigor of the climate
and the sterility Of the soil created that very
necessity which is the mother of invention and
the stimulus of effort and these have filed
the land with a'free, hardy, enterprising and
highly cultivated people, 4 e. TRAx1.
