The UNITED STATES, ENGLAND AND
THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.-The New
York Commercial notices the nice
messages between the President and
other parties, in order to ask:
How long, in case of war between
England and this country, would
American dispatches be tolerated on
the submarine wires? Great Britain
would at once take armed possession
OF both shore ends and we should busy
ourselves with disputing that posses
sion. or In graphing after the cable
In mid-ocean, in order to sever the
link that kept the mother country in
hourly communication with her
colonies. So, if Great Britain were
ut war with any other nation, that
belligerent would deem it duty to
destroy the iron cord which contri-
buted t. the wealth and power of
England. AS soon would her com
merce be allowed to go unchecked
upon the sea, as this great business
tie be allowed to remain untouched.
No evidence is necessary to show the
utter worthlessness of international
declarations, when presumed
nationaLinterest is involved"

Severe Castigation.

The inevitable Henry S. Fo ote,
having abused Gen. Hindman in
book he has recently published,
is handled in a scathing reply from
the exiled Confederate. We give the
concluding paragraph as a sample;
''This is my first vindication of
military transactions through the
press. 1t is made reluctantly, because
silence becomes champion of n
fallen cause. Perhaps, also, it is
necessary, as fair minded-men must.
in good time, arise to write the history
OF our great and mournful struggle.
Still, it may be we'll to put facts
like the foregoing within their reach,
and this is the motive that actuates
me. AS for the book before mention
ed, it can do no hurt where the author
Is known. Repudiator, Bond Payer,
Wing, Democrat, Know Nothing;
Unionist, Secessionist-everything
by turns, and nothing long; political
mendicant in half the States, and a
refugee from every party, BETRAYED
and despised by all; placarded as a
constitutional iar," years ago, by
the great captive whom he now at one
moment SANDERS, and at the next
insults with a spurious sympathy;
thrust forth from Mississippi with
the formal declaration of her House
of Representatives impugning his
veracity branded on his forehead,
with such antecedents up to 1861,
and with the black record, painted by
himself, of time-server, factionist,
traitor and sycophant during and
since the war; bowling against the
North when Southern fortunes were
ut their foot; embarrassing our
counsels when the tide began to ebb;
ANONYMOUSLY deserting to the enc.
my when great disasters befel us, and
fawning upon that enemy when our
country's subjugation had been
wrought-how is it possible for him
to win credence from thepublic, or to
pass his base lies for truth? Relish
his acts as they may, his present
masters must loathe him, and even
our former slaves must turn from him
In disgust. 1 heard a little while
back that he was dead, and was sur
pr1sed that sentiment charitable
towards him sprang up in my mind;
it was that he might turn out to have
had at least as much grace as Iscariot.
and have hanged himself in atone,
ment for three-score years of con-
tinuous lying. and treachery. He
must be aware that his career can
fifty have but this termination. His
own are the only hands vile enough
to end his existence, and the NAV of
the carrion crow is his natural place
Of sepulture.

Tho Army.
The New York World publishes

The New York World publishes
somc nine columns of combinations
of commissioned officers of the United
States army, volunteer and regular.
Net one of this long list is South
ern man, with Southern alliances or
sympathies.
So grumbles one of our exchanges;
not that he cares much about the pre-
ference shown in the selection of
officers, but because he objects to this
unfair mode of disbursing the Fede-
raj funds. For our own part, we
think the Southerners ought to be
thankful-they are getting substi-
tutes very cheap, at the small amount
of personal tax to each individual
which the army fund would require.

What the South has Done.

os<o%y @aAoA AAA6, aug uce ., AOOS'
What the South has Done.
We contend that the Southern
States have done much for the Union.
The Nashville Union and american
says:
stIn good faith the Southern people
took up arms, and with like good
faith they laid them down. Their
conduct in war proved how earnest
they were in the first, and their bear
ing since its close has shown how
sincere they are in the last"
We ask in behalf of the Southern
people, calm and dispassionate
review of their position since the
surrender of Lee and Johnston.
Every possible means have been used
to goad and infuriate them to over
step the boundary of prudence and
forbearance, and to incite them again
to violence and renewed bloodshed.
They have partially succeeded in New
Orleans, yet the outrage attempted
to be perpetrated in that city was so
glaring that the Government inter
posed the strong arm of the military
to crush out this contemplated revo-
luton. A Washington correspondent
writes, that this miserable conspiracy
was concocted in that city, and we
have little donbt but that it is radi-
cal plot, Matched under the auspices
of Stevens, Sumner & Co., in some
OF their midnight conclaves.
The Southern people did not hest
tate to give up 100000 of their late
slaves, involving the sacrifice of
sum of money to them more than
equal to the entire war debt of the
Union, but, in all their codes, they
cheerfully provided for the protec-
ton of this unfortunate class in all
the rights and privileges necessary to
their welfare. And what have they
received in return? Contumely, dis
dain, vituperation and vindictive laws.
Again: the Southern people have
paid their taxes, although denied rep
resentation. They have conformed
to the laws, although they knew these
laws, in many instances, were framed
to Cypress and degrade them. Every
agency and instrumentaity that the
radicals could devise to drive them
to mob violence has been used, and
yet, to-day, the people of the late
Confederate States stand proud and
erect-loyal to the Government, Con-
sttution and laws. History records
no nobler instance of true patriotism
than the Southern people have exhi-
bited within the past twelve months.

READY METHOD OF PURIFYING WA.

READY METHOD OF PURIFYING WA
TER. We wonder that travellers do
not carry with them little bottle of
solution of permanganate of potass,
few drops Of which would speedily
purify any water. \ friend of ours
who has just returned from India tells
us he has derived the grentest benefit
from its employment At stations
where the water was turbid, and smelt
and tasted of decaying organic mat
ter, he found that the addition of
few drops of the solution of the per-
manganate made it in few minutes
rs clear and sweet as spring water.

race SO tar as the number of clergy
men and the rivalry of other demo
mlnahons would permit her. We
must simply carry on the same plan
in the future. We have ALWAYS had
Sunday schools for them; let us con
tinue the same. We have aiways
welcomed them to our churches and
affairs; let us continue the same. We
have permitted them to organize
churches for themselves-they have
been free rs all upon this point; let
us continue the same. If those
churches are organized as Episcopal
Churches, we shall be glad to assist
them in the way of true godliness.
L see no necessity to change our
course for the present; nor do see
that we need any help from abroad
IN their religious culture. We have
christian men and christian women
IN abundance among MS, who will
undertake any work for the church.
Organize them in your various
parishes, and they will do the work
more efficiently than others can.
None understand the colored race
es vel! 2s we do-none have its conf
dence rs fully as we have. Ny sim
cere conviction is that if any future
good or blessing is to come for these
people, it must be of homo growth: ::
it must be the continuation of the
same kindly feelings between the
races which has heretofore existed.
Every person imported from abroad
to instruct or teach these is an influ-
ence, unintentionally perhaps, but
really widening the breach between
the races. This work must be done
by ourselves-done faithfully, earn
estly and as in the sight of God.
Love must go along with it; graft
tude for their past services; memo
ries of infancy anl childhood;
thoughts of the glory which will
accrue to us when we shall lead these
people, once our servants, but now
as servants-but above servants-as
brethren beloved, and present them
to Christ as our Offering of repent
ance for what We have failed to
fulfil In the past of our trust.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION We have
been permitted to publish the sub
Joined letter from the Treasury De-
partment, containing valuable infor-
nation to many parties in our midst:
TREASURY DEPARTMENT.
OFFICE OF INTERNAL REVENUE.
WASHINGTON, July %, 1866.
GENTLEMEN: Your letter of july
26, in relation to yarn, cotton pick
lngs, &C., has been received.
In answer, I have to say, that
under the new excise Act of July 13.
1866, ''yarn and warp for weaving,
braldlng or manufacturing purposes
exclusively are exempt from excise
tax from that date Taxes errone
ously assessed and paid on yarn or
warp, will be refunded on presenting
claim therefor in due form at this
Office.
Cotton pickings, Frequently called
paper stock, y on which the excise
tax as cotton has not been paid, are
liable to the tax of two cents per
pound. On and after August /.
1866, the tax will be three cents per
pound.
Under regulations of the Secretary
of the Treasury, dated October 8,
1865. articles subject to an excise tax,
and on which the tax had not been
paid, when shipped to Northern ports
from the Estates lately in insurrcc-
ton, were required to be shipped in
bond and the tax thereon paid at the
port of destination, before they could
be delivered to their consignees.
These regulations have been recently
revoked, consequently manufactur-
ers IN the South can now ship their
products on the same terms that
manufacturers at the North ship the
same kinds of goods. Very respect
fully, THOMAS HARLAND.

. The following is special despatch
to the New York Herald:
WASHINGTON, August 1.-Despatch-
es have beeu received here to-day,
both by the President and outside
parties, stating that Gen. Baird had
refused to obey the Executive order
pntting his troops subject to the civil
authorities of the State. Gen. Baird
himself sends highly colored de-
spatch to the President, in which he
says that the police were the prime
cause Of the outbreak, and then adds
that he has these same police in his
employ. The President has tele-
graphed again, giving most positive
instructions to the military COM
mandant to restore the control of
affairs to the civil authorities, and TO
use his troops to aid the execution of
the law, and for that purpose only.
The dispatches received from Gen.
Baird make the total killed and
wounded thirty-five, all told. This
is wide discrepancy from the state
ment of some of the special sensa-
tlonal correspondents.
The statement that Ray and King
decline attending the Philadelphia
Convention because of the riot, is
absurd. Both OF those gentlemen
are now in Washington, and are moro
anxious than ever for the Conven-
ton, rs means Of heading off radi-
calism, to which they trace the dis
turbance.
