RICHMOND, Jan. |, 1866.
"a considerable portion of my time
has been spent in travelling over the diff
ferent mail routes in the State, and in
doing what could to systemic mail mat
ters upon those routes, as well as TO in
duce the people living upon the line of
routes now under contract to apply for
the re-opening of their post Offices, and
the recommendation of suitable persons
for poslmasters. But in this the people
see in many eases, the to them insur-
mounlable obstacle of the test oath, or
''iron-clad," as many are pleased to term
1t.
"In this connection, it may be proper
for me TO state, as the result of my OBJ
servation. that there are many persons
in nearly every neighborhood who could
take the oath prescribed, but such per-
sons are frequently so scorned and de-
spised for their sentiments that they
would hardly be likely to be recon
meDded for the position Of postmaster.

HOME AND FRIENDS.

HOME AND FRIENDS.
Oh there's power to make each hour
As sweet as heaven design'd it;
Nor need we roam to bring it home,
Though few there be that find it.
We seek too high for things close by,
And close what nature found US:
For life hath here no charms SO dear
As home and friends around us.
We oft destroy our present joy
For future bopes-and praise them:
Whilst flowers as sweet bloom at our feet
If we'd but stoop to raise them
For things afar still sweetest are
When Youths bright spell hath bound US
But soon we are taught the earth has naught
Like homes and friends around US.
The friends that speed in time Of need,
When hopes last reed is shaken,
DO show us still that come what will,
We are not quite forsaken.
Though all were night if but the light
From friendships altar crown'd US,
'Twould prove the bliss of earth was this
Our home and friends around US.

From W. L. Kelly, Special Agent for
Mississippi:
"As instructed, l called upon Gov.
ernor Humphreys and stated my bust
ness, and received from him the disCour~
aging prediction that no citizen of the
Slate, fit to handle mail could be found
in Mississippi, who could or would take
the oath of office. He was pleased, how
ever, to give notice to the General As
sembly, then in session, Of the Depart
menl's desire 10 extend mail facilities to
the State. This opinion of the Governor,
| am satisfied, is, or was, part OF the
programme of the makers of political
opinions South to keep every man in line,
and attach to the acceptance of Office I'M
der the United States, with the present
oath, something of dishonor. Some
seemed to act as though this course
would compel the Congress to modify the
oath.
Il am satisfied that, but for the pesti-
lent spirit, more than two~thirds of the
offices should long since have been filed.
As it was soon became satisfied that no
one could be safely recommended for
offices (which had small salaries attached
for, though to day willingness to take
the oath might be evihced, to morrow, in
Inundated by public opinion, it would be
declined. As it was, | forwarded to the
Appointments Office petitions and recon-
mendations for postmasters at over one
hundred Offices, embracing nearly every
county seat in the State"

ATLANTA, GA, January I, 1866.
"In forwarding nominations for post
masters to The Appointment Office, have
used increased care to name only such
candidates as | was assured could take
the oath. Some. having received appoint
ments, decline to take the prescribed oalb
on grounds apparently frivolous-as the
feeding and sheltering of Confederate
soldiers without pay. Others-Union
men-decline because unwilling to ac~
knowledge to their neighbors the unpop-
ular fact that they gave no voluntary aid
10 the rebellion. While we have secured
many excellent men for postmasters in
this State, the stringeney Of the oath is
depriving the department of others, whose
services would be invaluable"

| COTTON TuIEvEs-We clip the following from tho
Texas Observer Of the Sd inst, published at Rusk,
Cherokee county,
On the 18th of February ult, Rob't Green, highly
respectable elderly planter of this county was
robbed Of sixteen bales of cotton Eysan Fields
in Harrison county, route for Shreveport The
cotton on two wagons, in charge of two teasters
white man and negro; who we're met on the road
by armed force, consisting Of four white men and
two negroes, who drew their guns down upon the
teamsters, and ordered aud obliged them to leave thu
road and unload the cotton, and leave in the woods
The teamserS were then ordered by the robbers to re-
home, leave the vicinity the peril of their
lives They returned home distance of seventy. five
or eighty miles and reported the fact to Judge Green
the owner of the cotton; whcreupon fourteen citizens
under direction of energetic Sheriff Mr. R. B.
Reagan volunteered their services in assisting udgo
Green to his cotton. Cu reaching the neigh
borhood where the robbery committed they wero
met by superior force opposing and were compelled
to dcsst from any attempt at recovery Of the cotton
also to retreat from the field. Mr. Reagan thcr
dispatched courier to Marshall asking aid from the
officer in command of the United States troops gs
that place. The request was promptly responded to
by furnishing the force required, under. command of
Lieut. John j. Hanlon, Co. A, 18th Pennsylvanis
cavalry This gallant officer and detachment FASTENED
the reinforcement and assistance of the vanoushed
citizen squad, discomftted the plans of the robbers
who were themselves making further preparation to
strengthen their position, recovered all the cotton
lost, and captured two of the miscreauts Quite a
number of persons implicated with the robbers
and close vigilance will te kept up for their arrest
and punishment.
The conduct Of Lieut. Hanlon and his men, in tn,
prompt services rendered by them is highly compli-
mcntary, and will be highly appreciated by the com
munty.

reconstruction amendment to the Consti-

thst he will reserve his decision on the
matter until after the assembling of the
Union Convention tomorrow, and will be
Guided by its advice The action of the
Governor is sensible and appropriate. For
ourselves We see no need of any haste in
assembling the Legislature. A political
campaign is just being inaugurated, and
this amendment presents the proper plat
form for the Union party, and an excel
lent issue for ito make with the VAlIan-
dighAm Democracy, If the legislature
should soon convene in extra session and
ratifJ it, this issue would be removed from
our State politics. We want TO see the
coming campaign made on the ratification
or rejection Of the amendment. We are
wiling to trust this question with the
people and to abide by their verdict II
the course We have sketched IS pursued,

| tFrom the Charleston Courier. JunS,et
az0Helef the most heartrendjpp, and an
| palhng -ealamities which We have ever
been called upon to record, occurred at
the village of Bamberg, on the Augusta
branch Of the South Caralina Railroad.
tWenty.six miles from Charleston, be-
/ tween three and four O'Clock Tuesday af-
ternooR, by which nearly every family in
that village has been thrown into the
deepest gloom and mourning.
The scene of this distressing occurrence
was about three hundred yards from the
depot, in a two-story frame building
known as Allen Ledge of Freemasons,
lately used rs a school-house by Mr. Rob
ert Seabrook and his sister, the former
having charge Of tho male and the latter
of the female department. fl. r.--t
Into this building some eighteen of the
scholars, boys and girls, had assembled
about three O'Clock for the purpose of
joining ia a festive party given BY the
young misses to their youthful male
friends While in the act of spreading a
table for refreshments, candies, cakes.
&c, the building was struck by 3 violent
gale of wind or tornado from the west.
which passed over the village, taking a
north-easterly direction, sweeping trees,
fences and everything else before it. The
chimney was carried away at the same
time that the roof was rent asunder An
attempt was made by one Of the older
boys to open the door, but that was found
to be so jammed as to defy removal An
other of the youths then proposed TO es-
cape by the window, and jumped out for
the purpose of assisting the others, when
the whole building fell, killing him and
five others instantly, and Weunding ten
others, one of whom expired shortly after
reaching home.
Most of those who were saved were
found where they had erept under the
school benches upon which the timbers
had rested after the falling of the build
ing.
But few moments sufficed to spread
the news of this awful catastrophe in the
village, and the whole community soon
gathered round the place. Parents, rela-
tiyes ard friends were in the most
dreadful suspense The bodies Of both
the living and dead were either covered or
wedged in between 1.-THE heavy timbeFs,
and required the use of axes to release
them The painful scene which ensued,
as narrated to US by one of the gentlemen
who assisted, was too narrowing for de-
serlptlon. t.El -E
