THE CRUISE OF THE MONADNOCK


From the Philadelphia Enquirer.
When the United States iron-cad Monad-
mock arrived at Valparaiso on the 1st Of
March, it may be estimated that according
to the route taken, with detours at stopping
places, she had ran quite six thousand miles
since she left the United States This voy-
age, exceeding in length a trip across the
Atlantic and back, was but portion of what
the ship has yet to do, San Francisco being
her port Of destination, and at least four
thousand five hundred miles further. That
she would accomplish the task was believed
by her officers, her behavior having been
excellent in this severe trial, and nothing
worthy of note having occurred to retard
the passage to Chilli
The trip from Montevideo had been made
with an average speed of one hundred and
seventy-one miles a day, or seven miles and
and eighth per hour. The greatest distance
made in one day was one hundred and ninety
five miles, or eight miles and an eighth per
hour. The least WAS one hundred and four
teen miles, or four miles and three-eights
per hour. The ship was bouyant, and Com
mander ROGERS reported that in the long
seas of the Pacific she rode easily and took
very little water upon her decks.
The trial OF this ship upon such voyage
is a matter of very great interest to the peo-
pie of the United States, and it must be re-
garded with close attention by the naval
powers OF the world. The English and
French iron-clad ships are proclaimed to be
failures by many skillful officers, and none
of them has dared to make voyage much
beyond their own coast. 1t is said that they
roll and are unmanageable in heavy seas,
and it is feared that in severe storms they
would founder. Our monitors have been
pronounced by European engineers unfit for
any service which required ocean navigation,
and they have been declared to be home
vessels of no avail 10 us except for the de-
tense OF our own coasts, and unable TO carry
warfare to foreign places. But the -Honad-
mock, which is a true type of the monitor,
has already disproved these allegations. Her
voyage may be considered wonderful, and
the results already attained are sufficient to
prove that in building our monitor fleet we
have not wasted money, but that our invest
ments have been wise, and will be available
TO us whenever occasion shall hereafter re-
quire

XXXIII.

was a terrible mixed infantry and artillery
fight, as the scars ON the trees still attest /;
but, at the place first mentioned, and lasting
for two full miles, fom the southeast to the
northwest, Judging by the marks on the
bushes and underground, which here stands,
or stood, very thick, the struggle seems TO
have been between infantry forces alone.
For hundreds Of acres nearly all the under
growth was cut of, or split into ribbons, a
little over breast high, by minnie balls, and
the trees, large and small, are literally filled
with shot holes to the height of twenty feet
| am not sufficiently acquainted with the
history Of the battle to determine what troops
operated in this part of the field, but am Of
opinion that Gen. Breckinridge commanded
a division here, snd that Gen. GLADDEN. re-
ceived his death wound at or near the close
of the deadly struggle which ragged for so
many hours through these CORY thickets, and
along this vast plain, then splashed and
streaming with the blood of so many brave
men, but nOtO green with all the fresh garni-
ture of spring.

PRESENT STATUS OF FREEDMEN IN
GEORGIA.
From the Atlanta BulIetin.l ]

From the Atlanta Bulletin.l
BY virtue Of an act of the last Legislature
Of Georgia, freedmen are made capable oi
purchasing, holding, selling and inheriting
property of every description sueing and
being sued and are made competent wit
nesses in the courts Of this State.
This liberal policy towards race Of peo-
pie who recently, instead of possessing the
rights enumerated, were held as property,
evinces magnanimity on the part Of our
legislators which is truly admirable. When
il is considered that most of our present
Lawmakers were cnce the masters of the
freedmen whom they have enfranchised, and
that they have never received nor expected
TO receive a cent by way of remuneration
for their losses, this act of liberality should
commend its authors and the people, who
have approved it, to the highest respect and
confidence of the good men Of the country. 1t
is an earnest TO the negro of a course of JUS
tice and humanity; it is an incentive to his
advancement in everything that may en-
noble his character and contribute TO his
usefulness and happiness.
But three things are denied the freedman
in Georgia, that are necessary to constitute
him complete citizen. The right of suf-
frage; eligibility to Office, and competency as
a juror. The beneficial exercise Of these
privileges requires degree of intelligence
which he has not yet attained. The former
may at no very distant day be conferred up
on him, but the best interests of the coun-
try, as well as that Of the negro, require that
in his present state he should not be invest
ed with privilege that designing and cor
rupt men would certainly control for evil
purposes, through the medium Of his igno-
rance and his passions.
The rights Of holding office and serving
as jurors involve not only the question OF
political but social equality. Until the
leopard can change his spots and the Ethi-
opian his skim" the African race in our
midst may not expect any admission Of this
unnatural assumption of their misguided
friends We may add, consistently with
truth, that the negro of the South would
feel that he had brought upon himself dis
honor, instead of accomplishing for himself
a real benefit. if he should be forced beyond
his sphere into positions Of social equality
with the white men Of the country. They
feel the distinction which nature has made,
ard it is very seldom that any can be found
who desire to resist this law of their being,
or to murmur at its practical enforcement.

A NORTHERN REPORT FROM GEOR-
lslA.

The Sparta, Ga, correspondent of the
New York Times, has, the following which
is both truthful and just
"The removal Of the Treasury agents
and the closing of their offices in this State
has been hailed with universal Joy and
gratitude as one of the most effective
measures of relief which could have been
afforded. IL half or one third of what is
said Of these agents be true, the system Of
robbery, corruption and embezzlement which
they practiced was as gigantic as it was
bold. | have heard of hundreds of cases Of
men who during the war had subscribed
cotton 10 the Confederate Cotton Loan, and
had years ago paid the cotton and who had
paid the Confederate tax-in-kind on cotton,
who were compelled 10 surrender any other
property they possessed 10 these agents, to
the full amount of their subscription or tax
In the same way horses, mules leather, pro-
duce Of all kinds, were seized and appropri-
ated; and thus, if reports speak truly, hun
dreds of thousands OF dollars worth of
property has been rung from an already ruin
cd people .and passed into the pockets of
dishonest and heartless officials. Is il TO be
wondered at, that men who had found such
an III Dorado should desire 10 retain it at
the light cost of false representations Of the
popular feeling South? A return to civil
aw would reduce TO insigniicance and pow
erlessness many who now wear purple and
fine linen, make profitable use of their brief
authority, and hope to prolong it by show
ing the absolute necessity that they should
support the Union and crush the rebels by
holding their offices and enjoying the pay
and perquisites, especially the perquisites, to
which ne regulation OF law has put 4 limit.
1t is not possible for any government ON
earth 70 have all its officials honest and
iudicious, and for many Of the acts done In
lhe name pf the Federal Government it is
no more morally responsible than il is for
the color Of the eyes or hair of its employees.
| But it is not the less true that in the execu-
ton Of what is called martial law, through
out this country, wrongs, injustice, acts OF
hardship and oppression are hourly commit
ed, for which there il no excuse, not even
that Of proyocation. People do not like to
| complain 70 the Government They know
the course Of all such proceedings, They
have no representatives; aud the wropgdoers,
who are powerfully backed, thus continue
unchecked and unpublished Bayonets and
proyostsmaIshals are poor pacifcators, As
