Strange story about stonewall Jackson.

In Norfolk IVA. letter, the writer
says statement was made to him, few
days ago, by an ex-rebel officer of Stone
wall Jackson's command, which on sub
sequent inquiry he found to be true.
Speaking of jackson, his old associate
said, if he had been in command of the
rebel army after Antietam, the war would
have been brought to close; for that
jackson proposed to Lee and other OF.
ficers that Mcclellan should be delicately
approached with a proposition to place
him (McClellan) in command of both the
Union and rebel armies, and then dictate
to the Administration satisfactory terms
for peace, which at that time would have
been deposing of Mr. Lincoln but jeff:
Davis got wind of the plan and it fell
through. I'VE thought" the secesh otii-
Ger said. that the United States author
tiles had become aware of such a plan,
and that was the way we accounted for
the fact of Mcclellan being relieved from
the command of the army ESQ 7snl u
To the above it is only necessary TO
add the statement that the letter was adj
dressed to the New York Tribune. :.

Significant.

The Washington correspondent Of the
Nashville Banner has this personal allu-
sion -h.
The publication Of Stokes letter, of
fering his services to Governor Harris,
and declaring himself as good Southern
man as anybody, has occasioned a good
deal of laughter at the expense Of that
redoubtable applicant for a seat in Con.
gress, and viii be read on the floor OF
the House as evidence against his ability
to take the test oath. The proof
of Mr.. Arnells leather contract
is complete, and that will throw
him out. Taylor and Campbell
viii also find it difficult to secure ad-
mission. 1t is now believed that at least
four Of the men elected in Tennessee
will be denied participation in the legs
lation of the country, and that the people
viii have to send four others in their
place.

The Nashville Dailiss.

The Nashville correspondent OF the
Cincinnati Commercial thus discourses
Nashville possesses eight daily news
papers, two Of them German, and one OF
each language intensely Radical tits i'm
possible for all to live through the current
year, without serious and exhausting
losses. Indeed, one of the number is
already sinking as much as two hundred
dollars per week 1t is the general opin-
ion that by the close of 1866 only three,
or, at the most but four, three English
and one German, will be in existence
The others must either perish for want
of sufficient patronage or coalesce with
their more successful contemporaries.
Advertising, the life Of journal, has
fallen off to almost nothing, and the war
having caused the discontinuance Of more
than three lourths of the post-ofices, the
dailies are cut of from their natural cir
culation which they would otherwise
have throughout the State. In fact, among
newspaper men here, it is generally
known that one of the journals published
in this city has not even as many as hive
hundred subscribers, and it is matter of
common remark that the circulation Of
that paper would only make respectable
armful. Four out Of the six English dali
lies issued here are revivals Of journals
existing during the early days of the re-
bellion, but which collapsed on the cap
ture of Nashville, the editors and proprie-
tors skedaddling down into Dixie. 1t is
quite amusing to contrast the editorial
utterances which these resurrected pa
pers make in 1866 with those they made
in 1861

SPECIAL DISPATCHES
TO THE PUBLIC LEDGER.
From Washington.

WASHINGTON, May 3-In the Senate
yesterday Mr.. Dixon introduced joint
resolution favoring the admission Of
members Of Congress from Southern
States, whenever those States, send per
sons whose loyalty cannot be questioned
under the constitutional or loyal list.
This gave rise to considerable discus
sion, but was without any definite results.
Mr.. Wilson submitted an amendment
intended to be offered to the bill to pro-
vide for restoring the Southern States to
their full political rights, in lieu of sec
ton first Of the bill
The postofice appropriation bill re-
ceived several amendments, including
that Of Mr.. Trumbull in relation to re-
movals from Office by the President
during the recess Of the Senate, which
was passed
The House bill to re-organize the
Army of the United States was rejected
by vote of SO nays to &c yeas.
The War Department has promulgated
an order explanatory of the proelama-
ton Of the President, dated April ID,
1866, in reference to trials by military
court martial The Goth Of the Rules
and Articles of Warts still to be enforced.
1t is as follows: IAN suffers and retain
ers to the camp, and all persons whatso-
ever living with the armies Of the United
States in the field, though not entitled
soldiers, are 10 be subject to orders &C

THE LATE RIOTS.

=
previous, are ugly symptoms on the bod!
of society, and need vigorous treatment
They indicate an antipathy on the par
of certain class of negroes against thu
white people, that will hardly omit al
opportunity to manifest itself Tit
class we refer to are the discharged
negro soldiers We have yet to learn o
more than few negroes who had moi
been in the military service were con
cerned in the riots. All the old Mem
phis egroes, it is believed, remained
quiet, and it is certain that not few Of
them spoke in indignant terms Of the
conduct of the rioters on South street.
That these peaceful people should suffer
from the misconduct of others, is a
grievous wrong, and one that ought not
to be. Most of them have been on these
bluffs many years, are well known, re-
spected and trusted by the citizens gen.
orally Against them there are no
charges and no complaints. They are
now, as before the war, engaged in use
full occupations.
On the other hand, many of those who
are strangers here, and have been in the
military service, appear not to under
stand that, after the war, and after their
discharge, they are not at liberty to con-
tinue hostilities against the hated whites.
The occurrences in North Alabama
occurrences most atrocious, reported in
the papers-should admonish the people
that this class of negroes are thoroughly
demoralized, and require to be checked
1t would, perhaps, be unjust not to admit
some exceptions. Wherever they are
found, we shall be glad to give them the
proper credit The majority of them
will we trust, soon discover the utter
madness of the course they are pursuing,
and settle down, as their brothers gen.
orally are doing-to useful employment
They cannot govern this country-that
is certain Any attempt to resist the
civil authorities, or to override the laws,
will bring upon them the vengeance of
the National, State and municipal author
tiles.
If inofensiye negroes have been shot
down, the act ought to be punished If
negroes were found banded together with
arms in their hands, TO resist the laws,
they had no right to expect any other
treatment than that of the most terrible
character. Every mans life is insecure
when the law can no longer protect it.
The labor of his years may be despoiled
of its garnered fruits in moment, if the
officers of the law are shot down and pre-
yepted from executing the win of organ
ized society The civil authority of this
city extends to the suppression of dis
order and the punishment of crime.
Its duty is to compel every one
to submit to its authority, and he who
resists it. must be made to feel its power
The origin of the late riot and bloodshed,
should be patiently, calmly and pertina-
ciously investigated, and the instigators,
Of whatever class, be brought to justice.
Meanwhile, let the black people under
stand that their interest and safety exist
only in orderly conduct They can
never domineer over the white race, and
the better classes Of them, we are happy
to say, already comprehend this truth.
Let them go to work, obey the laws, make
something for themselves, and the white
people will respect and protect them.

Making 0dious.

General Butler suggested in his recent
great speech at Harrisburg, Penn,
that President johnson is endeavoring
TO make TRAITORS odious" by admitting
them to Congress- Chicago Republican.
If the association will make traitors
"odious," the President could not have
hit upon a better plan. Certainly no
men occupy more unenviable position
in the eyes of a majority Of the people Of
the United States to-day than the leaders
of the majority in the present Congress.
