INas-Robert b. Lee and his two sons
have applied tosthe President for pardon,
and they will get it, too. Dick Taylor
came to Washington to ask permission to
go to France with aview to expatriation.
The.President would not hinder him from
going, but advised him to remain, take
the oath ofallegiance, apply for a pardon,
and then go back to Louisiana, and use
his influence in restoring the national har-
mony upon the basis of the extirpation
of slavery. After long interview, dur
ing which he introduced the late Vice
President Hamlin, who happened to enter
the executive chamber, to the conqueror
of N. P. Banks, the son Of old Zack prom
ised to consider the subject. On Friday
last, he complied with.the Presidents sug-
gestions and waits his pardon. Blythe
way, may mention that Dick remarked
to one of his friends, if the President
would pardon him he could and would
give him the vote of Louisiana for re-elec-
ton. OF course this was said in cadinagc.
Dick is q chip Of the old block, short,
thick and stubby. Il do not vouch for the
truth of this gossip, but it comes to me
through such channels that ! credit its
substance 1 give itas astraw. I may add
that when Dick expressed a desire to
keep his feet-for he has had incipierit
paralysis, a distingished,Senator, to whom
he made the remark, replied that he had
better be looking after his neck Dick
wants the President to let him visit JEFF
Davis, Dicks brotherAin-law, but the re-
quest will not be granted till dcided upon
in Cabinet.

GEORGIA ArEA1Rs.-The Augusta Sen
tinez notices the presence of Gen. Howell
Cobb in that city, and says: "In a con-
versation with the General, he expressed
a great desire to have,all matters now in
agitation settled at once. The issues
which have lately convulsed. this country
he considers forever disposed of. Slavery,
he says, can never be resuscitated in any
shape: Matters which have passed should
be numbered among the things that were,
and should not. be dragged into the pres
emf, thereby creating discord and tram
melting the movements OF those who are
doing all they can to settle affairs" The
same paper speaks of the arrival in town
of Ex-Governor Brown, and says: aGov-
ernor Brown speaks hopefully Of the: fu-
ture, and thinks it would be well for the
Convention to declare slavery at an end
in Georgia WITHOUT excitement or dis
cussion. Hc regards the question of Sc
cession as settled by the result of. the
war, and that my further agitation on
that and kindred topics. should be stue i
ously avoided.

The Now York Post says, 'We have
favored and still favor the substitution of
civil for military government for all the
States lately in rebellion. We believe it
is better that the people Of each State
shall have the responsibility thrown upon
thom of ro-establishing law and order and
liberty in their own communities. But
they ought clearly to understand that if
they refuse OF are unable to do this duty
they will compel the General Govern
ment to step in and do. it for them. =
This doesn't seem unreasonable.

4 THE LOVE OF FLowERs.-No man can
cultivate too carncstlX.a a hearty love for
flowers. We may not measure tho value
of them rs we measure merchandise, for
the influence flowing from them is ethere-
al and intangible; yet not more, necessary
is pure air to healthy growth and broad
development of body, than is q loving
communion with these 'sweet thoughts
of God necdful for all true up-building
and expansion of the mind. The notion
that it is a weak and feminine thing, a
thing for woman and children-to inter-
est ones self in flowers, is utterly false.
One of the most humanizing, and thcrc-
fore noblcst things in the world, is q de-
vout study of these beautiful work of God.
There are granite peaks, lifting them
selves bare and bald with forbidding as
pect, which, though clothed with gran
deur, arc nevertheless the unloveliest OBJ
iects in nature. There are other peaks
which have as much majesty, yet nestled
in whose riffs. and climbing up whose
sides many colored flowers unfold their
beauty, and by their soft hres relieve the
sternness of the dull, harsh rock. He is
the truest man whose character thus COM
bines strength and conciliating tender
ness-whcs, principles are firm as noun.
tains, yet at the same time are adorned
by the verdure of u gentle charity. From
no source canman gather gentle thoughts
and unpollutod feelings as from inter il
course with flowers: If the Infinite is
even turning from the care of circllng
worlds to the adornment of the violet
surely it cannot be beneath the dignity Of
man to follow his Maker with a reveren'
step, and learn the lessons which ne ha'
written for him in the humblest Hover

THE CONDITION OF Hon. A. 'H. STE
pHENs.-We are pleased to learn thai the
rigid rules prohibiting Mr.. Stephens from
writing or. receiving letters even upon
personal affairs, have been relaxed. We
saw letter from him this week, dated
from his prison at Fort Warren, to a
friend in this city, from which we learn
that Mr.. Stephens is in very bad health.
He is seriously and painfully afflicted
with rheumatism, doubtless caused by.
the damp walls Of q fortress upon con-
stitution naturally delicate, and which
has been eufeeoled by many years OF
continued illness The position of Mr.
Stephens appeals with peculiar force to
every humane and generous impulse.

People who are resolved to please al

Bishop Andrew, of the NJ F. Church,
is laboring to maintain the organization
of that body. He issued the following
circular at Selma, Alabama, on the 9TH;
nI expect, God willing, to meet the
Bishops of the Methodist Episcopal
Church South, at Columbus, Ga, on the
10th of August next. We wish the an
nual conferences to meet at their appoint!
ed PLACES, during the approaching fall
and winter, and to elect their delegates
to general conference, to meet on the
first of April noxt-s.ic place to be pub
lished hereafter. L understand it is re-
ported in many places that the Church
South is entirely disorganized and dead,
and that some of our friends are prepar-
ing to administer on her effects. To all
such we say she still lives, and believes
herself capable of managing her own af-
fairs. Our operations have been 'hindered
during the war, but now, through Gods
mercy, we have peace, and propose to re re-
turn. to our appropriate work of spread
ing scriptural holiness through these
| lands"

hospitality of tho citizens of the vicinity.
After dinner, preaching was resumed
at the stand by the Rev. Hewlett S.
Moore We were prevented from hear
ing this discourse, and so we cannot speak
of its subject or merits, but from the we'll
known ability and eloquepce of the speak
er, we have no doubt of it's being sue
cessful effort.
At the same time that preaching was
going on at the stand in the afternoon,
the colored persons present assr 4oled in
the meeting house, and were conducting
religious exercise peculiar and suitable to
themselves in q very decent, becoming
and interesting manner. The house was
closely thronged, and the windows and
doors were packed with those.who could
not obtain admittance.. While these ex-
ercises were at their height, some person,
said to be one of their own color, made
his way into the back end of the house,
with the fearful announcement that some.
body was about o-set fire, to the build
ing and barup the doors and windows
and consume all within. What gave rise
to this, no one can imagine. Doubtless.
it had its origin from the Prince of Dark
ness, though there were hints that the
hallucination arose from the too free use
of the distilled product of the present.
abundant preach crop. But no matter
as to the cause, the effect was tremendous;
the scene that followed beggars- descrip-
ton. From every door and window,
without waiting for Il benedctlon or for
each other, in tumultuous confusion, head
over heels, and heels overhead, and with
wild dismay upon their faces, forth pour
ed the dense throng OF six hundred freed
men, over fences, over stone walls, over
graves, over carriage tongues, over wag-
ons, over one another, ut their highest
speed, forth and onward they iled, radia-
ting in all directions, "any where, any
where" away from the threatened dam
ger. Panic-stricken and half demented,
many could not be got to stop or look
back, but ran until out of sight. An hour
after, we overlook an old aunty dragging
her weary limbs towards home, who ac-
costed US with the question, "Boss is de
meeting house burn down yet Z"
saw one who had spraincd both ankles.
One old colored woman, weighing about
800 pounds, leaped through window as
squirrel, and alighted sound
and unhurt, evin.ing such capacity for
speed as no one seeing her in quiet life
would for a moment imagine. heard
that another had her arm broken and that
others still were injured. Though the
scene was ludicrous to behold and to mar
rate, yet It was cruel ana wicked trick,
and its author richly deserves to be pun
ishcd.
This scene broke up the order and in |
tcrcst of the meeting, and We soon after
wards left with the thronging crowd.

".BLlND ToN."-The case Of 8. blind
Tom," the musical negro, has been decid-
ed at Cincinnati, by Judge Woodruff.
The claimant, Tabbs Gross, who sued out
the writ of habeas- corpus on the plea that
he had been appointed guardian of Tom,
in Floyd County, Indiana, is declared to
have no rights as such--the boy not be-
ing resident of that State. Bethune,
the former owner, having exhibited q
contract, and there beingno evidence Of
unlSind treatment, it is plain that the boy
is in his care, whether the document is
valid or not. The boy was far away
from his home, and therefore is only en-
titled to temporary relief in Ohio, being
liable to be sent out of the State as pau
-perto the place where he. is legal resident:
.The.J Judge accordingly decided that from
a private examination of his menial con-
dition he possessed sufficient Judgment to
make choice of his own custodian. That
choice being to remain with Mr.. Bethune,
he ordered that he be ,remanded accord
ingly to his charge, with a right to change
his guardianship whenever. proper oc-
casion might require.
