The Richmond Examiner says OF the
management Of distinguished men, and
their sons, to keep out Of the fight:
$. ST is netorious-for It il shown by The
records Of the Enrolling Office in Rich
mond-that there are large number Of
persons in this city holding old details and
projections from Mr.. Seldom, which are
utterly worthless, so far az there is any le.
gal virtue, or even any decent pretense in
them. It would be we'll if some pages Of
these records could be officially advertised
SO as to exhibit to the people the various
inventions heretofore sought out TO save
prominent citizens from Camp Lee, and
TO invite pubic inquiry into the matter
Notorious spectators have been exempted
in Richmond IN connection with designat-
ed public service that has no existence
Auctioneers. who have made their millions
in dirty business, have reen sent to Camp
Lee, and have come out OF il with an abso-
ute protection from Mr.. Seldom in their
breaches pocket; and it is On actual fact
that there are men in brokers' shops in
Richmond who have got exemptions to
furnish tar for the navy (svhat 4aavy.j az

The Savannah Blacks soy What
they Want. A

AN EXTRAORDINARY OCCASION AND RE.
NARKARLE DOCUMENT.
At the suggestion Of the Secretary Of
War, Henry Ward Beecher preached q
discourse TO his people founded upon the
recent remarkable Interview which the
Secretary and General Sherman had with
some Of the Savannah slaves who were
chosen by their fellows to speak for them
on that occasion. The following extract
from Mr.. Beecher's sermon will be read
with keen interest:
advocate the suffrage of the blacks, be-
cause they are q people intelligent enough
to make good use Of the ballot have
that ever read; and purpose to read it
to you. premise by saying that do it
with the consent Of the Secretary OF War,
who put it in my hands.
When he met Gen. Sherman in Savan.
nah, Mr.. stanton proposed that they should
call q council of black men, and ask them
what they wanted for their own people,
They brought together body Of twenty.
which was composed Of deacons, class
leaders and ministers. The average age Of
these twenty men WAS forty.five years.
Eight Of them were slaves when the Union
army entered Savannah. Six of them had
been slaves, and had been emsncipated.
Only four were free born. They had av-
eraged in the ministry and Offices of the
church about thirteen years apiece. They
were men, therefore, ripe Ia years, with
enough experience as preachers and teach
ers to give them some understanding of the
affairs Of their people. -.
On the evening Of Thursday, the 18th
day Of Januar y, 1865, the following persons
OF African descent met by appointment to
hold an interview with Edwin NJ. Stanton,
Secretary Of War, and Major General Sker-
man, to have a conference upon matters
relating to the freedmen OF, the State OF
Georgia. to wit: IL -

BURNING OF TIE MANSION IN WHICH

BURNING OF TIE MANSION IN WHICH
JOHN C. CALHOUN WAS BoEN.-EILToN
HEAD, Feb. 1O.-Very near the southern
extremity OF Hilton Head Island, stood,
until it was accidentally destroyed by tire,
last week, the house in which John G. Cal
houu was born. It was large square
frame house, two and half stories nigh,
from which communication was maintain
ed with Fort Pulaski. Calhoun lived in
this house Till within four years OF his
death, and many persons have erroneous.
~ supposed that q tomb, TO be seen near
the site where the mansion stood recently,
contained the ashes Of the man, whose
mind, either fatally ambitious, or badly
and SO, unconsciously enough, leveled the
first deadly blow at slavery. What pru-
dent provision it is, that the purely Mega
tive reformer and the purely positive re.
former do not live long enough to see that
their labors are eventually thrown in the
same scale. The souls of John Calhoun
and Brown are perhaps marching on to-
gether, and iraternize in the same mess
The man who develops an evil, until the
nation decides to reform it, is certainly
more Of an agent for virtuous Government
than the thousand carefully conservative
gentlemen, who maintain the clsseted
skeleton in excellent repair, yet sufficient.
" hid from the eyes OF the patient people
to keep them in Indifferent humor, and
from crying out, and writing petitions, and
holding meetings, and carrying lamps. and
Organizing, and 90 on. The only differ
ence between such refoTmels as Calhoun
and Brown is, that one didn't mind hang.
ing and the other did. ss SIT
The fire, which originated from defec-
tive tue, destroyed the house completely.
Carpenters have been sent to Braddocks
Point to rebuild the signal tower. The
house, the loss Of which no one regrets, aud
which Congress viii hardly propose to re-
store, was In very good order, and not at
passed into the hanks OF his surviving
family; and subsequently INTO those Of his
overseer. The body of the latter is inter-
sd in the tomb to which reference has
been made. .s5,sw b es8a1
