MURDER OF GOVERNMENT AGENTS IN
GEoRGIA-A report from General Saxton,
Assistant Commissioner of the Freedmen's Bu-
reau for the States of South Carolina and
Georgia, has just reached General Howard,
detailing the circumstances Of the murder Of
Captain Healey, one of his agents at Augusta,
on the I'd instant. 1t also states that an I'M
successful attempt on the life of General Wild
has been made, and that Captain Bryant, an
officer of the Bureau, has been anonymously
notified that he will next be assassinated.
Captain Healey was murdered while returning
from his office in the evening by three ruff
fans, who fired several shots, three of which
took effect in his body, and either of which
would have produced almost instant death.
His inanimate body was afterward mutilated
with knives by the cowardly assassins. Gen.
.Saxton expresses his belief that the murder
ers were returned rebel soldiers, most of whom
endeavor to embarrass in every way the ope-
rations of the Bureau. -.

AN UNFORTUNATE AFFAIR.--An army Of
ficer gives us the sad information that Brig
Gen. Draper was shot on Brazos Island
Texas, a few days ago, and that probably ere
this is dead, as the wound is supposed to be
mortal. The affair is wrapped in mystery,
and the perpetrator of the deed was at the
latest accounts undiscovered, although we are
informed some unknown member of the 25th
Wisconsin regiment is suspected, and large
number of the men of this organization placed
under arrest. 1t is a most lamentable occur
renee, and we hope the perpetratorof this base
attempt at assassination may be brought to
Justice.

p Secretary McCulloch wants money; taxes
are heavy, and Congress scarcely wishes to add
an extra hundred millions to the new loan.
The Tribune, thinking there are some good
reasons for cutting down expenses, asks,
'FWhat is the use of having military estab-
lishment as that arranged in recent general
orders ?" Here, in New York, it says, we are
commanded first by General Meade, then by
General Hooker, and finally by Gen. Parke +;
then we have Gen. Barnum, but we scarcely
know where he commands. Gen Meades
command is called the Military Division of the
Atlantic States Gen. Hookers, the Depart
ment of the East; Gen. Parke's, the District
of Southern New York 10 generals are thus
provided for, every general of course, having
staffs, and said stats horses, rations quarters,
and all the little comfortable extras that the
government allows and officers 50 court Add
to this, we have special duty officers in charge

to cost only fifty thousand dollars year,

The President and Mississippi.

patriot may well exclaim, after reading
President Johnson's letter to Governor Shar-
key, of Mississippi, which we published Satur-
day, "Well done, good and faithful servant
In that letter the President discloses how far
he is above the influence of every party temp
tation, and how near he goes to the sacred
fountains whence our revolutionary fathers
drew theirs to gather his inspiration in
solemn hour like this. Honor and thanks to
the President 1t is ennoblng and strength
ening to feel in times of faction, temptation,
and corruption like these, that the helm Of
State is in the hands not of any whipster or
whipper-in of party, but of a patriot, of an
American citizen, who recurs, in every rift of
the storm, to Washington as his guide, philos-
opher, and friend of man who advances to
the full 'front.' even as a sacred banner, the
first principles of the American Government
as WISER better, and safer than all others; of
one who would save the national credit, as
well as the national honor-which lies not in
arms, but in our civil poGty-and who looks
forward to the hour of Southern regeneration
with the steady faith of christian a philan-
thropist, and Statesman. The President calls
on the ''pcople to come forward; he invites
their confidence; on hem-as in the holy days
of the American Resolutions-he would repose
the trust OF their institutions, which are yet,
as we devoutly pray Heaven, to bless the
whole family of man. Instead Of whitening
distrust, the President breaches confidence and
generosity, instead Of a dictator talking to sub
dued and postrate provinces in the imperious
words of a satrap, he etfectionately recognizes
the States, and calls on them to exert all the
military power for their protection, so long as
protection of such sort may be imperative; and
yet, in doing this strong and patriotic act, he
wisely adheres to every safeguard required by
the, as yet, unsubdued elements of civil COM
motion. Woe to the South if she shall prove
untrue to such a guardian and friend! The
President stands on a rock that the winds and
waves of Northern faction cannot shake; but
if his foundation shall be undermined or VIC
lently thrown down by those for whose sup
port it is designed, then indeed will "chaos
come again" aa SIS

SOUTH CAROLINA CRoPs.-A letter from
Sumter says: This country has not expe-
rienced for many years a more damaging
drough that the present, for it still continues,
only slightly relieved by light and very par
tial showers. 1t has been very fatal to the
rice, potato and pea crops. And in fact,
gathering our information from reliable sources
in all parts of the State, we hesitate not to
say that the present cotton crop of South
Carolina will not much, if at all, exceed
5000 bales and there will not be enough
provisions raised to supply the existing popu-
lation, A very large part of our territory
was ravaged by Sherman's and Potters armies,
and the planting interests almost annihilated

A story is told Of man who insured in
London one thousand cigars, valued at e200,
against fire and water. After the lapse OF
six, months he made his appearance at the in
surance office and demanded his money, as
the cigars had all been burned. "But not on
board the vessel, sir" said the secretary, ''for
she is in the dock now YES on board the
vessel l smoked them, and therefore burn
ed them all myself and the insurance says
against fire." The secretary seemed taken
,aback, but told the smoker to call again next
day. He called at the appointed time, but
was met by the solicitor Of the company, who
told him if he did not relinquish his claim he
would be prosecuted as one who knowingly
and wilfully set fire to goods insured by the
company. ~ NJ

MARRIAGE IN THE CLOUDS.

tits currently reported that new SEN
sation in the matrimonial line, is on the
tapis for the present week. 1t is said that
couple of Fifth Avenudles, with hy-
menial intent, have made arrangements
for marriage in Professor loves war
balloon, at an altitude above the clouds.
This is the first recorded instance of the
marriage ceremony being performed in
the clouds, although great many in
stances have occurred in which the cere-
mony has been knocked higher than
kite" by divorce suits. The expressions
used by bac helors, in speaking of a friend
who has got married-that he " is gone
up" is simply figurative, and has no ref
erence to the actual balloon marriage. 1t
is said by bachelors, however, that in
stances are known In which married pairs
have aosshed each other "sky-high," but
in such cases the wisher never desired to
be along. 1t seems, therefore, that there
is no actual precedent for cloud wedding.
The effect Of it is quite different thing.
1t must be confessed that when couple
evince so great an anxiety to be spliced
on the celestial road, they have some
doubts about smooth travelling over the
corduroy bridge of common life. 1t looks
as if they expected to have very little OF
the heavenly during their married life,
and so were anxious to get as much OF it
as possible at the wedding. We hope
that aerial marriages will not be generally
adopted. It would soon become such a
bore to hear on every side the indicative
expression, "I wish I had pitched you

ers do indulge in jokes, they generally
let off good 'uns. Here is the last. Away
down East, a clergyman was recently
charged with having violently dragged
his wife from revival meeting, and COM
PEELED her to go home with him. The
clergyman let the story run ahead till he
had fair opportunity to give it broad
side. Upon being charged with the Of
fense, he replied as follows:
sIn the first place, never attempted
to influence my wife in her views, nor
her choice of meeting. Secondly, my
wife has not attended any of the revival
meetings at Lowell. In the third place,
have not attended any of the meetings
for any purpose whatever. To conclude,
neither my wife nor myself have any in
clination to go to those meetings. Final
ly, never had wife,"
