A CASE OF SwINDLING.-George Black
burn was charged by MIR. Remine, before Re
corde1 Eneu, with the larceny of five dollars
and further sum OF eight hundred dollars
The prosecutor alleges that he made the ac.
quaintance OF Blackburn in November last, at
the Ridgwey House, and that their acquaint-
aDce soon grew into warm friendship. The
parties were constantly together, and such con-
hdenee had Remne IN Blackb burn that the latter
spent most of his time in the business place of
the former, occupying a seat at his desk, keep
ing his books, and handling his cash. For this
service the defendant received no other COM
pensation than an occasional breakfast and
drinks at the expense of the prosecutor.
This continued until April or May last, when
Renine thought his cash accounts were incor-
rect, and he suspected Blackburn. On one oc
casIon Mrs. Murphy paid Blackburn a bill Of
seven dollars and some odd cents. The de.
tendant pocketed the five dollars, and threw
the balance into the drawer, but entered upon
the book the whole amount received. The pro-
secutor charged the defendant with this. ard
demanded to know were the five dollars were.
Defendant pulled out five dollar note, tire "
1t down, and said perhaps that was it. Witness
testified that Blackburn subsequently acknow-
ledged that he had purloined eight hundred dol
lars OF Remine's money. for which he was very
sorry. Blackburn, on the other hand, had, on
frequent occasions, asserted that Remine was
largely in his debt.
The defendant was held in the sum of $1,000 to
appear again on Thursday next Mr.. Shepherd
was his surety. Frederick Erickson, ESQ, ap.
peared for The prosecution; for the defense,
William d. Baker, Esq.

/, Ex-Posr MASTER GENERAL Reagan.

Ex-PosT MASTER -GENERA1 REAGAN.
A letter from Judge Reagan appears in
the New Orleans Crescent, from which
we learn that he has sought the retire
ment of plantation life, resolved to
forget the vexations OF public affairs.
The following extract ought to assure
the most timid that the Judge, at
least, is not q member. of Gen. Grier-
sons 'tsecret organization" for the
overthrow of the Government:
''I am orchardist and gardener my
self, and when not engaged at this,
or in the necessary Superintendent
of the freedmen, I work on the farm
constantly with my own hands, and
can do as much work with apparently
US little fatigue as any of them. I
make fence, grub, and pile and burn
brush, plow, ETC., and am as tho
roughly bronzed as other laborers.
''You can hardly imagine the sense
of relief and repose of mind I enjoy
in the absence of the cares and per
plexities of official and public life, or
the great interest take and the en-
joyment I experience in my retired
and quiet life"

Fort Sumter.

A correspondent, writing from
Charleston harbor, gives the follow
ing animated description of that fam
nous locality:
In the centre, in mid channel, like
o grim sentinel, stands Fort Sumter,
bowed, broken and desolate. A
shapeless pile of earth and sand and
brick, it bears no likeness to its for
mer self. Where the new cross of
the Confederacy and the palmetto flag
of General Ripley were so proudly
flying in April and July of 1853, only
one single banner, and that the red,
white and blue, now waves.
Scared and cracked, it's walls seem
ready to fall. The face toward Cum
mings' Point is crushed and broken
into steep hill of mingled sand, and
brick, and shot, and shell. The face
toward Fort Moultrie by solid work
of interviewer palmetto logs. Yet
the structure of the fort is SCARED
and cracked and broken above and
around and behind these additional
defences. The casemates, closed and
covered by immense framework OF
heavy beams, and this again thick
with earth, can be entered only by
winding passages, damp and drip
ping with moisture. The classmates
once entered, it would hardly seem
possible that any human being could
have lived any length of time within
them. The guns were Shiny and
mouldy, and the carriages were sweat
ing with q Shiny moisture.
Climbing out of the stone port
hole and through the more widely
extending one in the palmetto logs,
you could look down around the base
of the fort, where the eeaseless tide
had woven over each of the stones a
mantle-ike, thick, green, wet floss,
and see fragments Of shell and broken
bolts. You could look to the right
and see wi ere the wall had crumbled
and fallen into the sea. You could
look above and see the logs rent and
gashed, and the brick wall with great
scars, and ragged cracks, and wide
seams, as though q little more of the
storm of iron shot would have beat
it down beneath the surface of the
sea. You would look to the left and
sec VIC c1oSeu pOruS, tne rOuSn repair
ing, the broken parapet.
In the interior, the sandy earth was
supported in its irregularity by num-
berless fascines and gabions, and
dotted here and there by dark holes,
which admitted us into the damp
caverns. What had been the parade
was now green and shiny with the
stagnant moisture, over which were
scattered pieces of an old exploded
gun, scraps of iron hoops, q few de-
cayed barrel slaves, iron and leaden
shot scattered from schrapnel, and
bits of soiled clothing and broken
bayonets. From the tall flag staff in
the centre small Union banner was
waving. And this was all that re-
mained of Fort Sumter.

From Mobile.

A correspondent of the st. Louis
Republican gives an account of the
state of feeling in Mobile and Ala
bama in general, which differs some
what from the statements of General
Thomas. Writing from this city, on
the 1st inst, he says:
In no city of the South, perhaps,
was there greater amount of hatred
or hostility to everything and every
body from the North, than in Mo
blle-at least, such was the opinion
of the North-and yet, now, that I
have been here nearly one year, am
satisfied that here, as we'll as every
where else in the South, it was more
in theory than in practice. It was
the ideal and imaginary Yankee, "
as distinct race or class, that they
hated, but am sure it never went so
far as to prescribe individuals. 1t
was your puritanical, long and pious-
faced, wooden-nutmeg Yankee that
they hated, and they love to hate him
yet.
" AS an evidence that there is no
prescription of persons merely be-
cause of their birthplace, I may
mention the fact that four out of the
tive present members of the Legisla-
ture from this city are men of North
ern birth and education. Many of
the leading citizens here are from
NortheE': States, and yet there are
but comparatively few living here.
Alabama, although one Of the first
States to try the experiment of seces-
sion, and one of the last brought
under Federal jurisdiction, has shown
a Willingness and anxiety for recon-
structlon as surprising as it is com
mendable. The people have accepted
the result OF the war as none but q
brave and honest people would or
could, and l know that [ speak the
sentiment of many who ventured
their lives for the salvation of the
Union, when l say that the conduct
OF the radical party in Congress is
not only in bad faith towards them,
but is mlsrepsesenting the brave and
noble-spirited people of the United
States.
Gone OF the very first Legislative
acts of the Legislature was the rati-
tication of the proposed amendment
to the Constitution of the United
States to abolish slavery, and 1 am
sure that both the Legislature and the
people acquiesced in good faith. Be-
sides, the Legislature has persistently
refused to enact any class legislation,
and in every act has shown a disposi-
tlon to accept the abolition of slavery
as a necessary and legitimate conse-
quence of the war.
How is itthat Alabama is counted
as State for the purpose of amend
ing the Constitution, and yet ex-
cluded from n participation in tie
ordinary legislation OF Congress -

MISPLACED CONFIDENCE. The st.
Louis Republican says that Speaker
Colfax was so confident the President
would sign the Freedmen's Bureau
bill that he wagered a box of cigars
on 1t with member of the House.
On Tuesday morning, the member
found the box on his desk, endorsed: /:
From a victim of misplaced conf
dence." The honorable speaker was

The residence of Thomas B. Pal
mer, near Shallow Ford, in Anderson
District, was totally destroyed by fire
on Sunday last. The house and
kitchen were consumed by the flames,
together with every article of cloth
ing, and their entire supply of pro-
visions, leaving large family desti-
tute.
The enormous profits of the Ma
tlonal Bank Note Company of New
York have come out in a recent law
suit. During five months, in 1861.
it paid dividends from its accumula-
ted surplus earnings amounting to
$40 per cent. The $50 shares of the
company are now worth 1915.

route to Europe. There is great i'm
