SEIZURES OF Property BY GOVERN.


Seizures OF Property BY GOVERN.
MENT AGENrs.-We have been inform
ed by Governor Perry that, whilst in
Washington, he had conversation
with the Hon. Hugh McCulloch, Sec.
retary of the Treasury, in reference to
the conduct of the Treasury agents in
South Carolina. Mr.. McCulloch as.
sured Governor Perry that he had never
authorized any Of his Treasury agents
i'll South Carolina to take from the DOS.
session of the citizens horses mules.
saddles, brides or leather, or ANYTHING
else, except cotton belonging to the
Confederate States. He expressed him
sell deeply mortified to hear that his
agents had been running abou. over the
country and annoving the citizens by
taking horses, mules, saddles, brides.
wagons, &c, which had ttan captured,
or which had belonged to Confederate
States or United States and bona tide
in the possession Of The people. He
had Nven.no such orders or instructions
to any of his agents. He further ex.
pressed. the determination to ferret. ont
the frauds which some Of these agents
had perpctralee, and bring them to jus.
tice.'
We deem this information vcryimpor.
tant, and hope our brethren Of the press
will give it free circulation for the benc.
lit OF all concerned. 1t seems to us that
every instance Of violation of the
rules established by the Secretary of
the Treasury should bc reported to
headquarters. Our citizens sho,ild Ger.

realize that they live under a Govern
