MaHOry's Pardon.

MaIlOry's Pardon.
II was understood here last week that the
release of Mallory, rebel Secretary of the
Navy, would be conditioned, upon his fur
nishing to our authorities all the infOrma-
ton he possessed concerning the archives of
the rebel Navy. 1t will undoubtedly trans
pire that they were burned at Charlotte, N.
c., by order of JEFF. Davis, during the rout
that followed the surrender of johnston.
The records of the rebel State Department
if not destroyed are in Georgia, at some spot
unknown to the United States authorities
Sent South for Trial.
The Old Capitol Prison having been
closed and the prisoners being generally
discharged, the disposition of the promi-
nent State prisoners confined there becomes
a matter of interest. Captain R. P. Wal
bridge late Commandant of the Old Capitol,
started this afternoon with Dick Winder,
Mojor John II. Gee and Captain John Dun
can for delivery at Southern posts, where
military commissions are yet in vogue and
where evidence is easy to he had. Winder
is to be delivered to Major General Terry,
Provost Marshal at Richmond; Gee to Gen.
Thomas Ruger at Raleigh, and Duncan to
General Steedman at Savannah.

arately, but no especial effort will be made
to impIicate other rebels in their inhuman-
tiles
Winder and Duncan went off in very good
spirits, believing that in a fair and quiet
trial their chances were good.
A few Alabamians, of no especial prom
inence, were pardoned by the President to-
day.
The rebel general Sterling Price has for
warded his application to be allowed to re-
turn to the United States and to be par
doned.
Yellow Fever.
A case of genuine yellow fever was dis
covered on the Stonewall, just from Havana |
two days ago, and created no little appre-
hension among her recent visitants. The |
vessel has been ordered down the river, and |
is to be subjected to the necessary sanitary |
and quarantine regulations.

LIE LESSONS OF THE AMERICAN Wan

recent meeting at Manchester. ENGLAND

he whole spectacle as concluded. We
bea to suggest that this is going on too fast.
and that the theory itself is rather an awk.
ward one for the politicians of Mr.. Forster's
school for, upon his view of the case. it is
clear that democracy is as far from perfec
tion as any other form of government, and
that all the evils of Intestine strife civil war
and ruinous expenditure have IS matter
of fact occurred under pug deraoerati
government. The docsrine Al the bottom b.
all his arguments is probably this: that
whereas an insurrection against arstocracy
is natural and legitimate, an insurrection
against democracy is unnatural and abomi-
nable."
That's it exactly: Rebellion against good
government is criminal-against tyranny,
the many against the few who would rule or
ruin, is laudable. What sort of a rebellion
would it be for the aristocracy of England to
rebel against the people thereof? and what
its probable result? 1t has been demonstra-

THE HOUR OF NORTHERN VICTORY

Roll not a drum sound not clarion note
Of naughty triumph to the silent sky;
Hush'd DE the shout of joy in every throat,
And refld the flash of pride in ev'ry eye.
Not with TIE Deuns loud and high Hosannas
Greet we the awful victory we have won,
But with our arms revers' d and lower'd banner
We stand-our work is done.
Thu work is done, God, terrible and just,
Who lay DIST upon our hearts and hands TINS TASK
And kneeling, with our foreheads in the dust,
We venture peace to ask.
Bleeding and writhing underneath our sword,
PROSTATE our brethren lie, Thy fallea foe,
Struck down by Thee through us, avenging Lord
By Thy dread hand laid low.
For our own guilt have we been doomed to smite
These our own kindred Thy s'Hss laws defying,
These, our own flesh and blood who now rnite
In one thing only with uszzbravely dying!
Dying how brately, yet how bitterly
Not for the better side, for the worse,
Blindly and madly striving against Thee
For the bad cause where Thou hast set Thy curse.
At whose defeat we may not raise voice,
Save in the deep thanksgiving of our prayers
' Lord we have fought the fight y but to rejoice
Is ours more than theirs.
Call back Thy dreadful ministers of wrath
Who have led hosts to this great day;
Let our feet halt now in the avengers path,
And bid our weapons stay.
Upon our land, Freedoms inheritance,
Turn Thou once the spendor of Thy face;
Where nations serving Thee to light advance,
Give us again our place.
Not our bewiderng past prosperity,
Not all Thy former ill-requited grace,
But this one boon-Oh grant us still to be
The home of Hope to the whole human race.

answered as follows:
Ulysses S. Grant was born at Point Pleas.

April, 1922 Entered West Point in 1889,
he graduated on the 1st of July, 1913, and,
as brevet second lieutenant, was assigned to
the fourth infantry, in which he first saw
service on the Rio Grande.
At Comargo, in Sept 1916, he was ap-
pointed regimental quartermaster and for
gallant and meritorious conduct at Palo Alto,
Resaca de la Palma and Monterey, he was
promoted to Adjutant. Joiring Scott's
army at Vera Cruz, he participated with
great credit in every battle from that
place to the city of Mexico. For his gallan-
try at Ell Molinos del Rev. he was breyetted

Four Men SHoT.-A dispatch from Los
Angeles says difficulty took place there on
the 5th. between Robert S. Carlisle and A.
j. King, in which King was slightly cut and
Carlisle fired at Gaslisle was unhurt, but
stranger was stabbed in the thigh. Next
morning, however, and while Carlisle was
sitting IN the barroom Of the Bella Union,
two brothers of A. j. King came in to obtain
satisfaction for the alleged insult. One of
them made an attack on Carlisle, and in the
squabble which followed the parties passed
out of the barroom to the sidewalk in front,
when shots were fired by the three engaged.
One of the brothers was shot through the
breast; Carlisle also received four shots in
the breast, and while falling, raised his
pistol, took deliberate aim. and fred at the
other brother, Franklin King, killing him
instantly. James I'll. Lander while trying to
prevent the difficulty, was shot through the
side. stranger was slightly wounded in
the thigh by a stray shot-a small cash over
the heart and severe wound of the right
hand has confined A. J. King to his bed
since the first difficulty.
Carlisle died at twenty minutes past three
O'Clock yesterday afternoon. Mr.. Lander, it
is thought will recover. s. H. King is not
expected to live Mr.. Carlisle's body will
be removed from the Bella Union Hotel and
buried by the Masonic fraternity this after
noon. Z. Kings body will be buried this
evening. Carlisle leaves a wife and four
children to mourn his loss.-Bee.

We have been frequently asked what
course the planters had better purse in their
present crops. Our reply is this: Make
some satisfactory arrangements with the
negroes for their services in cutivating and
gathering the crops. There will be need for
all the corn, bacon, and cotton that can be
produced, and it is suicidal policy to suffer
our growing crops to be utterly lost rather
than accommodate ourselves to the circum-
stances of the times. There is no reason
why Jour lands cannot be proftably culti-
waited OH the existing plan if there is proper
energy and foresight on your part
As to the old system, it is irrevocably gone,
and the sooner the truth is accepted the soon.
er will industry recover from the present
paralysis. The blacks will not be permitted
to remain idle. If work is not provided for
them, the Government itself will undertake
to furnish them mployment.-4ugustd

A SHREwD WITNEss.-The testimony in
the conspiracy trials of Captain Wermers-
kirtch, was particularly graphic and edifying.
He testified to having found the photographs
of JEFF. Davis, Lee and others, in albums at
Mrs. Sdratt's house, and photograph of j.
Wilkes Booth hidden in the back of little
picture.
Hereupon the lawyer for Mrs. Suratt tried
to prove that such likenesses were to be
found in the houses of loyal persons After
whispering to his client. he asked, Did you
not find photographs of Union Generals
there?'
To which the reply was, "No, sir, none !;
there was one of Mcclellan"
Counsel indignant
''Well, sir, was not he Union General ~
Il dont't exactly know l believe he was
employed on our side"
Again, the witness said of Mrs. Surra.t
when arrested. she requested permission to
kneel down and pray.
"Ah!" exclaimed the counsel. then she
knelt and prayed, did she?''
Answer" She knelt down; don't know
whether she prayed or not"

said to flow over the top of the well IN sucn
quantities that the workmen finding 1t I'M
possible to preserve it, where obliged to pug
up the well to prevent it from running 70
waste. The report is considered perfectly
reliable by the officers and members OF the ne
company in this city. We trust IT may Dc

in the following tart Style
A CARD-As colored citizens, we desire to
thank the Mayor of this city and the Com,
mittee of Arrangements for the Fourth of
july for their kind invitation to participate
in celebrating the Anniversary of our Ma
tional Independence. And, Mr.. Editor, if
the secession and milk-sop Union men in the
Fire Department had not taken the action
they have, the colored citizens would have
been proud to have accepted the invitation.
| But, under the circumstances, they most re.
| spectfullv decline, for the following reasons
First. We deem it a disgrace for a colored
man to walk or associate in any public affair
with white Copperhead.
Second. We have no disposition to beg for
our rights, or ask favors of that class.
| Third. The negro bravery at Fort Pillow,
and many other battles in the late rebellion,
is more glory to our race than parading the
streets of Placerville with whipped traitors
in the guise of loyal fremen.

Government bonds, thinks they are secure to
be deprecated even by the g wreck of matter
and the crush of worldsn Here's blast:
Should the earth continue to be the habi-
tation of man until these bonds become due,
they will be paid in United States gold coin
or its equivalent. The interposition of the
fulfllment of the wonder Of tie Apocalpys
alone could prevent the payment of the obli-
cations of the Government; nor are we sure
that universal wreck of matter would SUBJ
ject the holders to absolute loss, for the debts
contracted in struggle so holy as the one
through which we have just passed should be
assumed in Heaven and guaranteed by ages
CT eternity.

History of a Flag.

Fiction will enchaut US with its portrayals
OF devotion and sacrifice for the love that its
heroes and heroines bear to each other; but
the war has developed facts of enthusiastic
devotedness to the county and to its emblem
which tames romance and enervates poetry
An instance of this we find in the conduct of
Hudson river pilot named Peter Ford, who
was captured in April, 1868. by rebel cruis
er near Roanoke Inland, while in the employ
of the government. Just before its capture
he concealed the Union flag of the vessel on
which he was employed, in one of the legs of
sailors trousers, and for two or three months
ingeniouSly kept it from the knowledge of
the Libby Prison inspectors. On the Fourth
of July, the prisoners had a celebration. at
which orations were pronounced, process
ions moved. and this American flag was
foated conspicuously over all. 1t was i'm
possible, of course after this to deny its exis-
tence, and so itwas carefully wrapped up
with the package of soiled clothing and a
hint given to the faithful laundress, who
keptit, until a vain search by the rebel off.
GERS for the detested "gridiron" had brought
multtudinous curses to their traitorous lips.
After its return, its owner snugly sewed it up
IN the lining of his haversack, and although
si''o "a tiNiO W do Onc liillt ScdlC
ed for concealed weapons not suspicion of
the treasure it contained was excited. The
pilot was recently exchanged and the scene
that ensued is thus described:
The moment he touched our lines he tore
open his haversack, and with almost magic
speed the Stars and Stripes-The Emily's
old fiag-foated in the breeze! The effect
is described as terrific; cheer on cheer was
raised by the brave boys that surrounded him.
The General in command rode up to learn
the cause ofexcitement, and when the matter
was explained, he took off his cap, and waved
his sword, and ordered that the flag so gal
lantly preserved should be promptly greeted.
The greeting was given with all the ardor of
patriotic lungs.
AT this moment Brigadier General, who
had just been released from rebel prison,
approached, and asked if Pilot Ford would
honor him with the privilege of carrying
that?
No. Sir" replied Ford. 81 have pro-
tected it for nearly two years in Richmond.
