Judge Pringle's elegant residence on
King street, near the Battery, is now
the headquarters of General Hatch, and
Mr.. Wagner's mansion is used for the
Offices ofthe United States Tax Commis,
sioners. e
Mr.. Wagner, who was the mere busi.
ness superintendent of the notorious house
of John Fraser & Co., having nothing
to do with politics, was the prince Of
generosity and benevolence in the com.
munity during the siege. Besides Law.
ishing money among all who sought his
assistance, he gave carte blanche to the
Sisters of Charity and the rebel Provost
Marshal Gaycr to draw upon him for any
funds to relieve the Union prisoners
when confined. in Charleston. He also
added a subscription of one thousand
dollars a day for the free market for the
people, and 6ves hundred a day for the
Wayside Home for soldiers. He is now
reduced to almost beggary, but has tax.
en- the oath ofallegiance and gone cheer.
fully to work. General Hatch at first
sent for him and would have placed him
injail, but on the appeals and represen.
tations FROM Union officers, old Union
men of the city, the Sisters of Charity
and the poor generally, he will not inter,
fere with him. To the credit of Mr..
Wagner it may be added that lie never
went outside Of the business department
OF the house, with which he was connec.
ted before the war, and refused the agen.
cy for the sale of rebel bonds, besides
declining to go to Europe and act as q
member Of the English house of Fraser,
Trenholm & Co. during the war. On
the ARRIVAL ofGeneral, Seymour and his
brother officers for confinement within
tshelllng range ,ofour batteries on Morris
Island, Mr., Wagner succeeded in pro,
curing for them mihe commodious private
residenceto which they were transferred,
and which was, in fact, entirely out Of
range. He also arranged with Gaycr
to furnish them with everything they
needed which could be obtained in the
city. 1t is not surprising, therefore, that
ne has received clemency at the hands
of General Hatch. He has since been
visited by hundreds of pooran others to
testify their gratitude for his kindness.
Mr.. Gregg informs me that Richard
Yeadon, Esq, the celebrated laudator Of
the lamented Everett, and author of a
reward of ten thousand dollars for But.
ler's head, is living in abject poverty at
Aiken, S. @. He has taken the oath,
and has repented Of the act, which he
says was the most foolish Of his life
done i'll moment of fdelusion.
Mr. Campbell has also been warmly
congratulated on his return q.
When General Gillmores 3 expounders
drove him from his house and his law
Office, his family retired to Columbia.
His palatial mansion there, with its il
braries, pictures and furniture, escaped
destruction, and has continued its bounti.
,tul hospitality, presided over by Miss
Campbell, lady well known North
and South, and best appreciated where
best known. ~

but his public career has been altogether
in the South. During the war he stood
by his friends, but constantly denounced
the NAL administration Of Davis, predict.
ing the ruin it would bring.
He was one who protested at the time
against the bonlbardment of Sumter, and
denounced the trickeryand follies of Da.
Wis, Walker. Beauregard and others
who wanted to open, supposing it all to
be plain sailino. His large Influence
win be directed to produce an honest
acceptance of the terms Of the victors and
e wise acquiescence in the new order Of
things for the restoration OF. a reunited
government and people. z
