Hr. Beecher's Departure for CHARLES
t0n.

ton.
The New York Tribune says that on
Wednesday evening large meeting was
held in the lecture-room of Plymouth
Church, Brooklyn, for q last greeting Of
Mr.. Beeeher before his departure for
Charleston. Religious exercises were held,
and in the sermon Mr. Beeeher referred to
the narrative contained in the three or four
closing chapters Of the Book Of Judges,
where $4,000 out of $4,000 of the tribe of
BENJAMIN were destroyed. But the people
wept and prayed that there should not D0
q tribe lacking in Israel. Not altogether
unlike the feelings there expressed for
that tribe, were our feelings to-
ward the Eoutb. The whole country
had been our watchword; We had fought
for the whole country, and we were eresp0n-
sible for the whole country. We should
be careful not to fall into the easy sin Of q
desire Ior vengeance under the color of de-
string justice. From the moment the last
muskst was dropped and the last sword
put up, he would not have one drop Of
blood spilled of any man who had taken
part in the rebellion, though he would ez-
pstriata soune of the leaders, that they
might not work any more mischief From
the ~ OAnAAo9AOA 1ASbOA
he should say to the South, now that tho
guilty and bloody war is passed, now that
the cause of it is destroyed, there is nothing
between US unless it is on your part; if
you hate US we do net hate you; We ara
Christian citizens, and our purpose is just
and kind, and sincere.
An address to thepsstor was subsequent
ly adopted BY the church, in which they
-
ssy, ave wish especially 70 appeal to the
Christian men Of the South 70 hasten on
the reconciliation which we and all Chris
tians at the North desire, and TO take the
lead iniEestoring peace to country which
can never ba divided, feeling that in no
wcy can they or we better serve our COM

@- A correspondent states, on the
authority of Mr.. Trenholm, that the
aggregate debt Of the Confederate Gov
ernment, including its bonds and notes,
in round numbers, one billion and q
half; or at ratio of twenty for one,
$75, 100000 in gold. The bonds are
interest bearing property, and are safe
investments SO long as the Government
can pay the interest on them. Seven
ty-fve millions of dollars in gold, there
fore, has been the entire expenditure Of
the Government since it's inauguration.
But few Of the people are aware Of the
fact that in. four years Of independence
and expensive war, the Southern States
have expended only about one-third
more on themselves than they previous
y annually paid into the United States
Treasury. Such is the, conclusion Of
figures, which never deceive. Were it
not for the price Of blood We have paid,
it would be- almost as cheap TO fight the
Yankees as to fraterniae with them. 5
