Mr. Carey Of South Carolina, but for what
reason we are left ia ignorance Nothing
ID said Of the particulars, or how much adl
ditional property was confscated from Mr.;
Carey and others during Shermans march
but we trust the people Of that State have
kept an exact record of the amount, so that
whenthe proper time comes aee mag haze the
necessary information. A great many peo-
ple in the North would like to know at some
future day who went down South to res
tore the Union" and who went there FOR
OTHER PURPOSES. The man who confscated
a horse never stopped at that; if there were
any silver spoons lying around loose, or any
rings and breaches to be carried off. But
we shall know when the time comes, and to
what extent this trdly conciliatory policy
waa carried. AS fortunes were made by
individual con6scation, we. should like to
see the confscating party and the party
whose property was confscated brought face
to face some day 1t would be an interest,"
ing interview. We believe there will be
many SUCH. metropolitan Record.

LETTER FROM Mr.. MASON.

The following letter appeared in the Lon
don Times, Of August 81.
"sIR: Late intelligence from America Of
the recent capture of American ships 10 the
Pacific by the Confederate States ship She
nandoah in that sea leads me to address you
this note.
"As soon as it was known 10 Europe that
the war 10 the United States was ended by
the fIal surrender of the Confederate forces
IN The field, immediate measures we've taken
by the proper Confederate authorities here
to arrest the cruise OF that ship by orders
issued her commander, Directing that on
their receipt be should Immediately cease oil
hostilities and bring his ship to the nearest
convenient port to have her there forthwith
disarmed and her crew discharged; aud
those orders were sent through channels
most likely 70 insure their speedy and GER
tain delivery to every point in those distant
seas where the Shenandoah worId necessa-
rlly touch, and with which she would he in
communication. 1t is to be presumed.
therefore, that her hostile cruise has lopg
since ended.
In the condition of the Confederate Gov
ernment at the termination Of the war the
duty of doing this promptly was Tally re-
cognized by its representative 10 Europe.
by giving this place in Your columns
5ou will much oblige Jour obedient servant,
