THE CAREER OF MILITARY VILLAIN.
"A correspondent of the New York
Times gives an account of the reasons for
the removal of Brevet Brigadier General
Wild, of Massachusetts, from the super
intondence of the Freedmen's Bureau in
Georgia, as given by General Steadman,
military commander of that department.
lie says:
He fallaciously and mischievously
went to work to educate and elevate the
black man with an utter disregard of the
feelings aud rights of the white race,
who at least, had claims, if only as
equals. He mounted body of black
men, who rode at large over the country
and committed excuses of the most in
famous character. The people generally
suffered at the expense of every man
who had black face A perfect reign
of terror was rife; everything became
unsettled and an implacable hatred be-
tween the two races was the natural off
spring. lie not only did not cooperate
with the commanding general, but zeal
ously worked to clog his efforts in all
particulars"
Two outrageous acts of General Wild
are brought to notice. For some alleged
reason or other, he caused an old gentle
man weighing over two hundred pounds
to be tied up by the thumbs until the
entire flesh was torn from the bones.
Only a few days before General Wild
was relieved, he arrested two of the first
ladies of the country. and had them
stripped naked and examined by two
colored women, an indignity | have
never heard before during the war.
When General Tilson took charge, the
direst disorder prevailed, and nearly
sixty thousand INDECENT blacks were
being kept and supported by the Federal
commission.
THE ANTI CHRISTIAN SPIRIT or THE
NoRTH. "A distinguished Presbyterian
divine, who has just rolinquished pull.
pit in one of the metropolitan churches
of the North, writes to gentleman of
Augusta, Ga, in announcing his depar-
ture from this country:
My people are all kind, warm
hearted and generous, but am Disguised
with their institutions. There is more
freedom of speech and thought in Tur-
key than in Pennsylvania. The anti
British feeling and negro-mania, and
the cry of blood against every man,
save the colored man of the South, is
literally abominable and revolving. The
boast and buster, and misrepresentation
with which the pulpit, the press, the
platform ring, are to me so annoying
and disgusting that am glad to accept
a unanimous call to--Church in
-. thank God for the opportunity
of shaking off the dust of my feet
against Republican America"
EY.-Men work for it, fight for
it, beg for it, steal for it, starve for it,
and die for it And all the while, from
the cradle to the grave, nature and God
are laundering in our ears, the solemn
question" what shall it profit man,
if he gain the whole world and lose his
own soul? :" This madness for money is
the strongest and lowest of the passions
it is the insatiatc Moloch of the human
heart, before whose remorseless altar all
the finer attributes ofhumanity are sacri-
feed. 1t makes merchandise of all that
is sacred in human affections and even
traffics in the awful solemnities of the
eternal.
