Iron THE DAILY NEWS. I

NesSrs Editors Recently, in ohr perambula-
tions We accidentally picked up "Appleton's Hand
book Of Southern 1rduel" 1t is designed, we pre-
sumo, as guide for those making Southern
tour, and particularly iniended for circulation
| throughout the Southern country. While we are
always pleased to see the issue of useful books,
calculated to extend information, we detest any
publication where the author or authors are par
tia and prejudiced in their expressions and really
false in their statements Of facts. For instance,
in this "Hdnd- Book" work which processes to be
honest and impartial, they are particularly care,
full in their descriptions OF fredericksburg and
Charlottesville, and OF every other place where
the Confederates were successful, to pass slight
ingly over it, and, on the other hand, wherever
the Federals obtained an advantage, to e1patiate
upon 1t and introduce portions OF official reports
by way of clinoher. We care nothing about
this, but we contend that truth, fairness and
honesty should pervade the pages Of "Guide
Book Of Southern Travel"
On page GA, in giving description OF Columbia
and the burning Of that beautiful city, the writer
says: "The fire was set by the soldiers OF Gen.
WADE HAH1PToR's command" which he knows
most certainly to be untruth.
We do not desire to injure any one In his opera

1--WE PUBLISH the annexed communication, with
the explanation that it written after reading
our published report, on Tuesday morning, 6f the
smeeting OF last Monday night, in which an error
was made in writing out the resolution Of Mr.. 81.
: L. JEFFERs, and before seeing the correction
which appeared on Wednesday, where the Hon.
w. D. PORTER only is suggested as the represen-
stative Of the State at large1
26rH OF july.
Messrs. Editors: The proceedings Of the meet
ling in Charleston, on the evening OF the 23d, to
appoint delegates TO the Convention in Columbia,
to choose representatives from this State to the
National Union Convention at Philadelphia, will
meet the appreciation Of all, with q single excep-
stion. Why shall Charleston have tno representa-.
tives for the State at larger II the city and the
.seacoast desire either Mr.. AIKEN or MIR. CAMP
BELL, there can be no objection to the preference
but it is asking too much to claim two ont Of tht
four for the State at large from the city. VIII.
mot distribute these four 30 as to represent tn
.State at larger 1t will be moro just and certain
represent the State moro fairly to select thes
delegates with view to the State and not to th
city. Let Sir. AIKEN or Mr.. CAMPBELL represen
,Charleston and the seacoast, II those intereste
$50 desire, but let the other sections OF the Stat
have ohuice. We out Of the city think Mr.. TREs
HOLM would be your best selection; but that Is fo
you, not for us.
Respectfully euggest that 1t would be NOR
satisfactory to select those delegates with vie
to their location. Thus: Judge WARpLAw for ii
upper and western portion of'the State; MIR. Al
Lam MoFARLAN for the eastern; Judge ALDRIoH II
the middle. Either and all Of these gentleme
will bring, at least, the same zeal, talent ar
ability to the discharge Of the delicate duties COZ
aided to them, as Mr.. AIKEH or ur. OAMpBELn

WAsH1NaToN, July 27.-Mr. HARLAN this after.

President, resigning the Office Of Secretary of the
Interior.
CONGRESSIONAL ..
The Senate passed the bill for the admission of
nebraska. Also passed joint resolution, so
modifying the Test Oath as to permit Senator
PATTERSON, OF Tennessee, to take his seat. This
requires the concurrence of the House.
The House disagreed to the Senate's amend
Sment of the Civil Appropriation Bill setting apart
ssl,5OO,OOO for repairing Mississippi levees. Also,
by q large majority, voted down the proposition
TO increase the salaries of members Of Congress
from three 10 five thousand dollars.
The judiciary Committee of the House, to-day
made report relative to the alleged completely of
JEFFERSON DAVIS in the assassua alton of MIR. LIN
scoLE wherein they state that it is notorious that
the said DAVIS was guilty of the crime Of treason,
according to the Constitution and laws OF the
United States; and the Committee are of the
-opinion that there are obstacles to q speedy
and impartial trial which cannot be removed by
Legislation.
The evidence in possession Of the Committee,
connecting JEFFERSON DAVIS in the assassination
OF President LINCOLN, justifes the Committee in
Saying that there is probable cause to believe
that he was privy to the measures which
He'd to the commission Of the deed. But the inves-
LEGATIONS which have been made by the War De-
partnent and the Committee have not resulted
in placing the Government in possession of all the
facts in the case. 1t is probable however, that
"the further prosecution Of the Investigation by
sthe Committee, and by the officers of the Govern
sment, will result finally in full development Of
the whole transaction. The capture Of the rebel
-archives has put the Government in possession Of
n mass of letters, papers, and documents Of vari.
.ous kinds, ouly portion of which has as yet been
examined.

The Frankfort Diet I'm Danger.
(Erom L'Europe, July l2.l


Everything leads to the belief that within few
days. perhaps hours-the roar OF cannon will be
heard in the neghborhood OF the Free City. It
seems to be impossible that under such circum-
stances the Germanic Diet can continue to find
in Frankfort the tranquility amid which it's delib.
erations should be carried on. If, then, the High
Assembly should determine as provisional meas
ure to trensfer it's sittings to town less exposed
than Frankfort to the changing surprises Of war,
to Augsburg for instance, there would be nothing
in that prudent arrangement which would cause
any astoLishment. 1t is above all, necessary that
the sole legal organ Of the Confederation should
insure it's complete liberty Of action. We repeat,
that this transfer Of locality, should 1t take place,
will be Of provisional character only.
The foregoing extract assists us in correcting a
blunder Of the telegraph, which announced, yes.
terday, that the Diet had removed to Augusten-
burg We knew at the time Of transcribing it
that there was no city of that name in Germany
The operator had been thinking Of the Duke o.
AuausrEsBURa, Queen Y1oToRIAs new son-in-law
Augsburg, whittier suppose the Diet fed, Il
the provincial capital Of suabia, in Bavaria,-or
the River Inn, and on direct line from stuttgar
to Munich. 1t is, moreover, one Of the oides

MR. DAVIS, feeling that DR.. CRAVEN has done

OF his power as an insult 20 "me and peo ple."
With the view only OF entering this foroibie pro

for q moment, and then submitted without re.
mark to what he knew he could not avoid. The
sergeant, who was the only ''officer" present, Mr.
Dsvis says, performed his duty just as soldier
would do, made no excuses for II, and did not
plead orders: In ehort, all the details OF this
