Hopeful Signs.

Washington, sept. IA
Special to :he Herald says it it under
stood here that it is contemplated 10y the
President to entirely withdraw the troops
from the south in short time, leaving
the states lately in rebellion, to reorganlzo
on a basis of civil government precisely as
they STOOD before tie late war, with tbs
exception of slavery.
This policy is SAID to have arisen through
The good sense of leading southern men
themselves in accepting the presidents
position Of affairs, as diaclo,ed In the inter
view between President johnson and n
considerable deputation tf their leading
men al the White House the other day.
Thus the late slave states will have hard
ly a soldier left among them, save such as
may be used to garrison the forts, and
those, As in the northern states, will be re-
tanned in active service only for the pur-
pose Of meeting any emergency that may
arise from the action of foreign powers.

President JohnsOD's Speech.

Ia another place will be found a
speech Of President JOHNSON to which the
Southern delegation, representing nine of
the late rebel States. will be read with
profound attention. lie treats the rebel
lion as a family feud, without throwing
any special blame upon the South. The
South is beaten and should submit grace
fully. He praises Southern character,
vindicates his own magnanimity, and
holds out the olive branch to the South.
In the language Of the Milwaukee Ne,cS
we believe the confidence of the Delnoc-
racy in the ultimate purposes of President
JOHNSON is likely to be justified to the
fullest extent. In bis speech to the
southern delegation on Monday the Presi-
dent took another important step forward.
His language and his opirions are radi~
cally adverse to the language and opinions
oe the party which elected him. He de.
clares witbcu: evasion or qualification that
he will stand where he did Of old, "for
the Constitution and the Union of these
United States" and he expressly de-
nouncss the attempt of the radicals to
concentrate he power of the nation in
the federal government. lie also dis
claims any intention to deal Larshly with
the repentant population Of the South,
and happily alludes to the fact that he is
himself one of that class OF Southern men
whom the radicals are spaslng no efforts
to denounce and destroy. The President
clearly means to restore the fraternity of
the people and permanently re-establish
the Union by the weapons of justice, for
bearance and conciiation-the means
which would have prevented war in the
first instance, and which would have dis.
integrated the confederacy and stopped
the war year and half ago.

corning the attempted peace negotiations
of the former, expresses the following
opinicn in relation to the proposed mis-
sion of ALEXANDER II. STEPHENS, the
tben rebel vice president, to Washington
in the summer of 1863, 1t will bt
found in The Tribune Of Friday, Augus
11th.
"lIad this wise and brave course (Mr
Lincoln's subsequent attempt to negotiate
a peace) been taken when Alexander III
Stephens first publicly solicited permission
to visit Washington. l believe it would
have saved quarter OF a million preciou:
lives, an awful amount of devastation and
misery. and left our national debt full
billion less than it is to-day"

party, who intended to get up revolu-

this region, and join California to the then
lone star republic of Texas. The scheme
was fruitIess, but General Bidwel became
the owner Of one of the famous Spanish
grants OF land IN the richest part of this
valley, and now has farm Of 10000 OF
its acres, Of which $4,000 are under cult

average rate of 40 bushels to the acre.
This is poorer grain year, and his wheat

Kentucky Correspondence Of the Pilot
CYNTuIANA. KY, Sept. IL.

DEAR JEnE :-Yesterday was Sunday
a day long to be remembered by me.
Last evening l attended church, where
"one OF Africk's sable sons" held forth to
"delighted audience" Except myself
and trlend) and was much surprised TO
hear the stated preaching ofthe gospel
SO ably portrayed. 1t seemed that it was
necessary to take up collection for the
benefit of one of the unfortunate colored
persons who had become free through an
edict of the military power Of our govern
ment, and IN the absence of necessary
arraDg gements for the care and protection
of that class which are and will be
"legion," was found on the road side sick
with four small children. Her husband
having enlisted and got bis free papers.
Now, JERE, thiS is the case here. A negro
can 60 to camp and be examined. II
found fit to be soldier, he is accepted
and free papers are issued to hlm by the
officer in command, and his master may
whistle. So far, SO good. Then news
reaches bis master, the niger has wife,
ana from three 10 twelve children.
What is the result! Why tbs master
turns the wife and children into the street,
to what! why 10 worh for pay, and not for
the dcncft Of task, master. This = the
case all over the South.
So much for emancipation by single
stroke of the pen" No man can imagine
or predict the suffering that is entailed
upon the "poor niger" by this sudden
emancipation. All yet remains to be seen
what will oe the result. Truly, they are
at present race Of paupers, and must be
fed and clothed by the taxpayers Of the
whoIe country, for not one quarter OF tie
slaves Of the South are able to earn their
living. Yet the cry is "give them a
chance to work for PAY" and their con-
dlNOn Will be bettere0. Oh ye fanatics,
so see, and mend your ways. l deprecate
slavery as much as any man, but canno.
now say that it was wise or polite to
pursue the course, and adopt the measures
OF our government in this matter. Yet
wiser men than | am may see a way to
ameliorate the condition of the "ngser,"
or as they are callel here smoked
Yankees Especially those that enlist,
and are clothed in Uncle Sam livery)

Tragedy at Selma, Ala.-A Treasury
Agent Shot by an Army Officer.
From the Selma, Ala. Til


Our city, and particularly the occupants
of :he Gee House, were thrown into a most
intense state of excitement on the evening
of the 3Oth ult., by the killing of Mr. J.
Z. Nimmo, of Huntsville, and late Special
Supervising Agent of the Treasury Depart
ment for this District, by Andrew Uosmer,
OF ST. Louis, and formerly commissioned
officer in the United States army.
1t appears that some ill-feeling had been
previously existing on the part of Uosmer
against Mr.. Nmmo, and that Iosmer had
been, according to the statement of Mr.
N;mno, just before the fatal and bloody
encounter, traducing his character behind
his back on the afternoon of that day
This Mr.. Nimmo had been informed of,
and while uosmer was at supper he enter
ed and approached bis (U.'s) seat. Sew
eral words were passed, the import of
which is not known, when Mr. Nimmo
struck Hosmer. Several blows were pass
ed and Hosmer prostrated, when the par
ties interfered and separated them. The
friends Of Mr.. Nmmo prevailed upon him
TO so to his room, which he did. Hos
mer repaired 10 the Office, and there it
seems, got bis pistol, and remarked that
he would kill the id son of b, and
went up stairs, bis friends endeayoring to
prevent him.
Mr.. Ninmo went to bis room, after the
afFray in the dining room, in company
with Mr.. Duval, who left him and went
down stairs. Mr.. Grtfing, of New York,
was requested by Mr.. Duval to 90 up and
calm him. This he did, and as he enter
ed the room closed the door.-Mr. Nim-
mo, Immediately after the entrance of Mr.
Gritfing, seated himself end began to read
newspaper. In five or ten minutes
thereafter, some one raped upon the
door, and forthwith unceremoniously
opened it. This was Hosmer, and he
stood in the door with pistol in his hand
At this moment GriffIng sprans forward
and endeavored by exclamations to attract
the attention of Hosmer, and prevent his
firing, in order that he might approach
near enough to disha1m him, but before
this could be done, Mr.. Nimmo had sprung
from his seat, and seized his pistol which
was lying on the bureau, and fired at
Hosmer. The fire was instantly return
cd, the repor: being so simultaneous that
down stairs it was though. to be but a
single report. Mr.. Gritfing is positive
that Mr.. Nilnmo fired first. Immediate
ly after the discharge of Hosmer's pistol,
Mr.. Nimmo fell forward and expired in
stantly, without groan or struggle. The
| ball entered the base of the left ear.
