The New Orlesns Picayune is very
much concerned about an extract from
a letter from Charleston to the n. Y.
Herald, in which it was stated that
amongst certain captured papers be-
longing to JEFF Davis and Beauregard
was telegrsphic dispatch from the
latter, " iDquiring whether the bill for
the execution Of abolition prisoners,
meaning National soldiers, had yet be
come law, and urging its speedy pas
sage If It had not"
The Picayune says $50 grave and
serious a charge against an officer who
has challenged the respect Of his enc
mics by his frank and manly bearing
and generous feelings, should be stated
with no such reckless csrelessness as
marks this dispatch to some unknown
member of Congress If there was such
a telegram, it should be given in the
exact words with the name of the per
son to whom it was addressed, and
without such accompanying interpre-
tatiors as the words meaning Ma
tionaI soldiers) etc. Gen. Beauregard
is citizen of New Orleans, who, indie
pendent Of his political course and his
connection with the rebellion, has al
ways borae the reputation Of a gentle
man of humanity and magnanimity.
That he would suggest and advocate so
bSrbarous 3 proposition as that iDdi-
Gated in this dispatch viii fnd but few
believers in this State or city, nor
among the Federal soldiers who,
during the late war, fell into his
hands as prisoners Of war. It is not
improbable that Gen. BeauPsgard may
have suggested the propriety of legaiiz
ing what was generally practiced by
both belligerents in the war, to wit
the putting to death of those laWlesI
desperadoes who took advantage Of the
defenceless condition of certain part
of the country 10 depredate upon, Z
burn, and to destroy habitations, and
commit all kinds Of atrocity upon I'm
offending people. But that he shOul'
recommend or advocate 50 brutal PROF
osition, as that of numbering soldiers
captured in regular and lawful wal
passes the bounds Of all probability
and ought not to receive any currenc
among just and decent people.
The Picayune was entirely too fast i

A BEAUTIFUL custom prevsils In Ger
many, seemingly modelled after the ancient
Creeks, who were accustomed to eugrave
upon tablets of stone and wood erected at
the street corners, the names of such as had
fallen in battle, that all might see who had
been willing to die that the country might
live. On entering the houses of worship
in the cities. and scattered through the
rural districts of Germany, the eye fire.
quently encounters beneath the pulpit, or
on the sides OF the wall, memorials of wood
or more durable material, containing the
names of such as have been removed from
among them by the bullet or camp disease.
The inscriptions following one after an
other, read as follows: "Died out of the
church and congregation, }" such and such
a one, lighting for God and Fatherland."
The N. Y. Commercial Advertissr ap.
propFistely asks, might not this custom be
patterned after by us, atfording, as it would,
a satisfaction to afflicted friends, and in
stilliug in tho minds of the youth rev.
erence for the country's defenders, and
thereby developing among them g spirit of
patriotism Such an observance should
at least be adopted by our colleges and
other public institutions. Harvard has
already decided to do SO. Memorial win
dows of stained glass hre to be placed in
the magnificent chapel, having engraved
upon them the names of those Of the
Alumni and under graduates who have fall
len in the struggle. We also hear that an
obelisk or column of some description is
to be erected at Williams College, to the
memory of all Who have gone forth from
it's walls to battle and die for the right
Gems. Garfield, Tibbitts and Alden, who
were dangerously wounded at the storming
of Fort Fisher, are late graduates from
this Institution. The President sent all
three of his sons into the service. His
brother, Professor Hopkins, lost his only
child in the Wilderness battle, and many
others from this classic retreat have per.
ished in the war.

JoHNsoN's VIEWS ON MICRO
SUFFRAGE.
The most pointed views of President
Johnson on the negro suffrage, have Just
been made to the delegation of Quakers,
who called on him with petitions asking
that the iUhusnce aud power of the Gov
erument may be 90 welded as to secure
to all persons, without distinction, equal
ity in the right of franchise. In response,
President johnson said he would not
make speech, but would talk to them
in the spirit of friendship and trateInal
regard. he wished to talk to them as
though they were all members of the same
family. he told them of the difficulties
in the way of comforting the right of suf.
frage, as they desired, and gave them
many instances of his experience among
the slaves of the South, whose habits
and feelings he protested thoroughly to
understand. Bat one great act might be
said to have been fully accomplished by
the war, after the restoration Of the IN.
ion, and that was the complete abolition
of slavery. There were many other things
that would require time to accomplish,
and among these might be the question
of suffrage.
The President referred to his own ex-
perience in the rebellion, and to the fact
that while he bad suffered personally and
pecuuiarily, and in other ways, he had
no complaints to make, but would do his
best to bring justice and order to the
country.

adopted by four or Eve hundred
voters; but that Governor Peirpoiut was

slavery is destroyed by the events of the
