this sum she brought suit. The defence was
that the company were not responsible as
insurers for the safe transportation of bag
gage to the amount claimed. 1t was an I'M
usual and unreasonable amount as to value,
and there was printed notice on the ticket
stating that the company would not be liable
for the baggage of passengers exceeding in
value 500, or in weight eighty pounds
The plaintiff claimed that the pay for the
safe transportation of the trunks was fnclud

Not the least remarkable feature In Gen.
Grants career is the number of men and
amount of war material that he has captured.
With single exception he has captured all
the i'm portant garrisons that have been taken
during the war. Port Hudson surrendered
to somebody else. but Grants operations at
Vicksburg rendered this necessary. So far
as Banks force was concerned, Granger
might have held Port Hudson till dooms-
day.
Grants first great capture was at Fort
Donelson, by which Memphis was turned,
Nashville rendered untenable. and Kentucky
and Tennessee cleared OF rebels in arms
His next was the capture of Pemberton at
Vicksburg, by which the Mississippi river
was opened TO the gulf and the confederacy
split in two. His final capture of Lee and
hrs entire army is the greatest of all, and
very likely has given the finishing blow to
the rebellion.
In all these substantial operations General
Grant had a great preponderance III numbers.
At Fort DOuelson he had 0.O0O men against
Buckner's 20. 600; a, Vicksburg he had over
100000 70 Penn berton's 10000; and in his
last capture an army of % 600 surrendered ~
a force Of over lou UUU.

Henry Ward Beecher Pleads Pardon for
to Expectations, Disfranchisement and
the Sour Apple Tree.
The Rev. Hery Ward Beecher's valedicto-
ry to his congregation at Plymouth church,
prior to his departure to Fort Sumter, was a.
remarkable address, and must have been re-
ceived with establishment by some of his
flock.
have taught you, said he, in the course
OF his remarks, to believe that the whole Un-
ion was indispensable to the honor of the
country. We did not care to see the north
prosperous, and great and wealthy. aud the
south feeble and impoverished and weakened
by excesses. We are bondsmen for the vel
fare and prosperity of the country-not of
New England, or any other section. The ex-
lgencles OF our country require us to do a
thousand fold more than ever before; and
first let US take care that we do not fall into
the easy SIN of vengeance under the plea of
justice. Few men can afford to be Just until
they first learn how to love. hear many men
say this war ought not to be ended until the
principal traitors are hung, and that q sour
apple tree should take the place of Humans
gallows upon which should swing the arch
traitor JEFF Davis. If Mr.. Davis was my law

A great mistake seems to have been made
in assigning Good Friday, the 14th instant,
as the anniversary of the fall of Fort Sumter.
II the commemoration was intended To have
been four years to the day and hour after our
flag was struck to the rebels, the 18th instant
should havesbeen the day chosen. All re-
meu Der that Major Anderson surrendered on
the 18th of April, which, in 1861, fell on
Saturday. The almanacs and newspapers all
prove this.

The Future of South Carolina.

We have no fears for the future of
South Carolina. She is able, provided
ordinary facilities are offered. to look
after her own interests. We know
very we'll what is needed to place her
in a condition whereby sic shah be
regarded AS one, of the truest States of
the Union. Allow her to be repre-
sented by men who understand her
social and political condition, ana
there will ba no difficulty il satisfying
the thinking people or the country
that she, in the future, will be all tha;
could be required ef any State
First. it must be understood that
South Carolina is as ready aud willing
as any State Of the Union to enter
into the bonds Of a common Confefe-
racy in which all the States shall be
represented. We will adAit such was
not her language a few months ago,
but now we are not dealing with the
past, but with the present and fhe
future. 1t becomes us by every con
sidera'ion to look to the prospective
welfare OF not only our State but al
the States, and who will venture to
assert that the welfare OF Su:h Caro-
lima is not connected with the pros
p"ritv of sll the other States Of the
Union. We entreat parties, possibly
non-residents Of the soil, who are
making visits to the North, to be care
ful as to what opinions they offer in
reference to the sentiments Of the
people o! South Carolina. We. as
people, are prepared to receive the now
political status presented to us, and
persons going to the North and repre-
senting that the State is wholly unfit
for the consideration OF bestowment
OF civil authority, are doing us great
injustice.
South Carolinians are not fools.
They admit, as do all sensible people
both Ncrth and South. that the war is
ended. They now ask that they may
be allowed to ENJOY the rights Of civil
government and the privilege Of in.
dulg'ng IN their accustomed professions
and pursuits. They desire that facili-
ties should be extended them of re-
pairing and rebuilding their shops and
warehouses, and that the regular chan
nels OF trade should be opened. In
doing this they pledge their fealtv to
the United States Government. We
have one request to make Of our
friends Of the North, ani that IS that
they will pot incite WAY Of races in
the South. At present the new system
Of labor is working tremendously ana
satisfactorily, and, in course OF time,
we doubt not that this state Of Affairs
will be great y enhanced IN ? beneficial
point Of view. W. repeat. that Sout'.,
CaroilnlanS! ".;,ll not be backward in
'ook'Ig after their own interests, pro.
Vlded they receive proper encourage
