men who lately esteemed themselves worth
hundreds Of thousands now look forward to
tuture Of distress and poverty. Many re-
R1et that thy had not sold out before this
movement was practically inaugaratet. They
hive had many favorable offers, but refused
10 accept them from an idea that property
would rapidly enhance under the influence Of
the large competition which bids fair to arise
within the next sir months. Parties who
have already been pardonsd nre deeply con-
cerned about the fa:e Of their property, the
Inference from the Presidents response to
the Richmond delegation leading to ths i'm
preston that tic pndon only Iemitted the
otIense Of treason, leaving them Liable to the
penalties decreed BY the Coniscation act. It
Is very certain that but little sympathy Is
felt for many OF tho,e who are to abide this
penalty, much Of Tie property acquired be-
ing The accnmu1atiuns Of a grinding system
OF speculation which brought sorrow and sui
fering to many poor families. The daT Of
resrlbution for iheea shnrpers la evidently at

A BEAUTIFUL fEoIDEET We had occasion
10 drop into variety store sdjoining the
Post-oiiice yesterday, and while we were
there a soldier entered and desired to pur-
chase pipe, but he lacked tea cents of the
necessary amount. A little girl who had
been standing by the counter, handed him
ten cents, remarking that she would do
wi .hout the candy she had intended to buy,
rather than see one Of our brave soldiers
want for any Of the little comforts of life.
The young man in attendance appreciated
the noble act, and declined the profsrsd
offer, giving the soldier the pipe, and The
sweet little Shsrub her candy. The exam
pie Of this nObIe-hearted little girl should
be emulated By those who are smsssinE
fortunes in srmY sPeculshons- This beau
tifal little incident speaks volumes. The
rsns Of tie little girl is Gerard, and her
parents reside in the city, We ere informed.

rSIOS sENTIHEST IN CHARLESTON.
Mass Meeting Of the Turkey Bul1ards.
Patriotic ResOiution..

The only SYMPTOMS Of loyalty perceptabls
a. Charleston was manifested by the turkey
pazzards, which refused to fy with the rest
OF their flying feilow-citizens. It is we'll
known that these birds never fully en-
braeed the rebel cause, and during the past
year, slUnion sentiment kss bean steadiIy
developing itself among them. They have
subsisted on cannon-balls, boulders and
curb stones during the siege Of their native
city, and they declare themselves heartily
sick Of such diet. Previous 80 the war a
small detachment of this class Of citizens
were enabled TO keep the city neat and
clean, but since the war commenced, II has
been so filthy that these birds sickened and
died in large numbers. When our troops
landed in the city, they threw themselves
at the feet Of our soldiers, and cried pite-
ously for hard-tsck, which the boys hu-
namely divided with them. They have all
taken the amnesty oath, and returned 70
their allegiance under the Eagle Of the
Union.
At a mass meeting Of the turkey-buz-
yards, the following patriotic resolutions
were adopted:
WaEREAs, THE fortunes Of war and the
Confederacy have consigned US TO the yam
KEGS,
ReSolroa,-That we spread our wings in
imitation Of General Sherman, and "clesn
out the city."
RcsoIDcd, That we are no longer the ma
tionsl bird Of the Coniederscy, preferring
to PICK cartons under the old flag.
ReSolctd.-Thst we patrioticslly abstain
from nibbling at the toes Of yankee soldiers
to appease our appetites, and that all shoe
leather be Eacredly respected.
ReSolUed,-That we wage a war of exter-
mination on pollywogs and bull-frogs, the
natural enemies of our rsce.
Resolved, That the amnesty cath and
hard tsck are good institution, and any
bird who will rot "gobble" them ought t.
be sent beyond the lines, 10 remain during
the war.
ResoEvtd, That we petition the President
70 consign Charleston to our care at the
close OF the war, and we viii wipe it Of the
map Of the country.
ResoIue6, That copy Of these Essolu-
tons be sent TO the Governor Of South Caro-
Ina.

NOTED GUERRILLA KILLED:-Capt. Ven
Howton, notorious guerrilla chieftain, was
killed at Wartrace, on the night of the 1lst
inst. 1t appears that skirmish occurred
at about IL o'clock, P NJ, and his body was
found on the following morning, side by
side with his horse. a commission signed
by Gen. Forrest, TO recruit in the Federal
lines, was found on his person, together
with number Of letters to go South. Pre-
vious to the little engagement above men
toned, the gang had robbed the telegraph
and Express Offices. The death of this
desperado will relieve that section of q
reign Of terror which he had inauguratsd.
It is due to the citizens of Wartrace to state
that they turned out en- nasss and aided
noblY in the defence of their homes and
fresides. A speedy retribution has over
taken most all Of the noted guerrilla lead
ers, and the few remaining will soon share
the fate of those who have passed away.
