a. TERRIBLE CONFESSION daniel
Andrews, Postmaster at Glencoe,
Missouri, was recently arrested for
robbing u neighbor, and committed
suicide in prison. Before doing so
he wrote a confession, which stated,
among other things, thathe murdered
a returned Californian, eight or ten
years ago, for the purpose of securing
his money, which amouited'to about
ten thousand dollars; that he had the
mWdered man buried at his own ex-
pehse, many of the neighbors attend
ing the funeral, and giving him credit
for charity to the dead. He also in
forms his friends that since his an
pointment as postmaster he had
robbed the mails in search of money
in many instances, and that he never
lost an opportunity to appropriate
letters entrusted to him, with the in
formation that their contents were
valuable. The most shocking state
ment i'll the confession is that he had
been the means of killing two of his
own children, and that he had medi-
tated the murder of his wife, 'procur-
ing gun and loading it for that pur-
pose only few days before the date
Of the confession.

FALsEHooD.-A paragraph has been
going the rounds of the press, stating
that Mr.. Howell, the father-in-law Of
Jefferson Davis; had expressed the
wish, in coarse and profane language.
that his son-in-law might be hanged.
1t originated with the correspondent,
OF that mendacious sheet, the New
York Herald. How much truth there
IS IN the statement will appear from
the fact that Mr.. Howell has been
dead, rs we learn from the Vicksburc
Heyalel; about three years..
Our impression is that there,eis as
much lying JUST now about various
matters and things in the South as
there has been at any time in the last
twenty-five years.
lt'is doing great deal CT harm.

The following from Gen. Shesman's s
late speech at Lancaster, Ohio, gives
pretty clearly the responsibility Of
the devastation in his line of march:
$50, soldiers. Awften we marched
through and conquered the country
OF the rebels, we became owners of
all they had, and don't want you to
be troubled in your consciences for
taking, while on orr great march, the
property Of conquered rebels. They
forfeited their rights to it, and l,
being agent for the Government to
which belonged, gave you authority
to keep all the quartermasters couldn't
take possession Of or didn't want.

ANTs.-The Washington Chronicle, of

great number Of pardou-seekers who

tion they absorb in that department,
the time for their appearance at this
Office has been limited to between the
hours Of II a. M. and p. m. The
average number of applicants per day
is 15O-nearly all of whom are of the

UnIted States Senator.

we respectfully propose for the
consideration of the State and the
next Legislature, the name of the
Hon. William w Boyce as highly
suitable selection for one of our
United States Senators. His long
service and experience in Congress,
his eminent intellectual attachments.
his devotion to the South and his
native State, his statesman1y and
conservative views as respects Federal
politics, his unsulied reputation as
public man-an render him accept
able as a Senator to represent South
Carolina in the national councils.
At this particular juncture, there is
Especial fitness in the choice of Mr..
Boyce.. He is regarded throughout
the North asa moderate man, and is
both personally and politically highly
acceptable to President Johnson, with
whom, before the war, his relations
were cordial. President johnson has
now, and has so expressed himself,
the utmost confidence in Mr.. Boyce.
By his election, then, we will have an
able and incorruptible representative,
and one who, by his standing in the
North and with the President, will be
potent for good. DELEGATE.

The trial at New York of Anderson,
theacaptain of an .emigrant ship, who
is charged with the most inhuman
conduct towards his passengers, is
diverting attention from the jailor of
Andersonville, the notorious Wirz.
Anderson, it, seems, established a
floating 'Andersonville' upon the
high seas, where he starved many
hundred men, women and children,
who were not prisoners of war. He
is proved to have been liberal to his
COWS and pigs, and to have kept his
human passengers in q famished state;
but as the pigs and cows cannot tes-
tify for the defendant, his case looks
very black. One large family he al
lowed per week eight small potatoes
and eleven crackers, and yet they are
alive to testify against him. He had
false bottoms to his measures, and
cheated as Well as starved his pas
sengers. When asked for beef, he
gave bones, and all that he gave,
whether liquid or solid, was alive
with loathsome insects. He made the
good A No. 1 copper-bottomed pas
senger ship Villa Franco q floating
bell, andi his chances for being laid
up In dry dock at Sing Sing for de-
cade are exceedingly promising.

HoM1cDE-A painful report reaches
us of the murder of DR.. Dehon and
his son, in the neighborhood of Wal
terboro, by the driver of his planta-
ton and certain other negroes, while
he was riding in his buggy. Wehear
OF no other particulars, but trust that
the authorities In that quarter, if not
too much busted with the abstract
virtues of freedmen as they existed in
the time of Cato, will see to the fu-
ture of the criminals, and adjust the
balances on behalf of Fate. We fear
that under the virtuous auspices of
the age, and other still more occult
influences, these crimes are destined
to fearful increase.

The Richmond Times tells us that
Mr.. L. 81. Chandler, the present
United States District Attorney for
the Eastern District of Virginia, (who
is q gentleman of ability and long
residence in Virginia, is said to have
stated to the people of Dinwiddie
County, in public address, on, the
18th instant, "that he .rejoiced to tell
them that all confscation is at an
end, and that he had received orders
to suspend all confscations.' AS
Mr.. Chandler is the officer specially
charged by the Government with the
prosecution of the suits for the con-
fscation Of the property which has
been hbeled by the Government,
this declaration carries with it much
authority.

A traveller, just arrived from Aiken,
tells us OF serious affray at that
place recently, in which several ne
groes were severely wounded. 1t ap-
pears that negro fellow beat little
white boy very savagely. A squad of
half a dozen of the ittlefelow's com
panlons made common cause against
the negro and drubbed him in turn.
A group of negro men gathered to
his defence and began the punish
'ment OF the boys, when some gentle
men interfered, and with their knives
inflicted several wounds upon the ne
groes, and dispersed them. There
was much consequent excitement.

Theft and other virtues, in the
shape of horse and hog stealing, are
reported to be of incessant exercise
throughout the country. No man s
mules or horses, hogs. or poultry are
now safe, no matter what sort of lock
you use. The Indian proverb is,
''My knife laughs 81. your locks" The
axe of the negro is quite as useful in
destroying the integrity of locks,
bolts and bars. The farmer is now
frequently compelled to secure his
horse or mule in his basement, and
watch by night with his double-bar-
relied gun. In this condition Of
things, the prospect of making a crop,
or of securing it when made, is q
problem which no rule laid down by
Gupter is likely to elnoidatc.
