national credit high and its honor unimOaired.
IL is an abuse of terms 20 say that Congress Is
keeping any State out of the Union. Tne unrepre-
sented States are keeping themselves ont, because
they will not accept the conditions that eXpe-
rience, reason, and decent regard for tho peace
and permanence of the country render both
proper and necessary.
The President tells us that the lately Rebel
States are entitled to admission into Congress
whenever they present themselves there in the
persons of loyal representatives; that they are as
thoroughly in the Union as they we're ten years
ago; that the national Legislature has no right
10 impose conditions on their return.
By what right, then, did the President himself
impose conditions precedent on them?
When have they presented themselves in the
persons OF loyal representatives at the doors
of Congress? Why Georgia came with the
Vice President of the Rebel Contederacy as its
| loyal representative, while staurch loyansts
| like Joshua Hill were treated with neglect and

The question before the people is distinct and

nation owes IL TO the dead and the manned, ,8s well

Nillard Fillmore.

The New York Tribune thinks 1t un
fortunate that the Hon. Millard Fillmore
now travelling in Europe, should have
written to President johnson IN warn
commendation of the Executive policy
That it personally respects Mr.. Fillmore
the same paper is good enough to say
but Immediately subjoins to this honey
the bitter declarations that :" his hear
was with the rebels throughout our gresl
struggle" and that not ten other Cop
perheads" in New York were so hostile
to coercion as that gentleman. As a man
once holding great office and well known
for singular purity of character, 1t is, OF
course, gratifying to know that Mr.. FIJI
mores sympathies were ever with the
weak against the strong, but, beyond
this. there is further matter connected
with his position which sets the sage oi
the Tribune on thorns Mr.. Fillmore
was once President of these United
States. and, with Mr.. Buchanan and Mr..
Pierce, forms the third of a now living
ex.President trio. Singularly enough
each of these gentlemen, known for long
and varied political service, and espe-
cially experienced as to the theory and
workings of this government, from the
insight obtained during their respective
executive terms, were, during the late
civil war, either avowedly in favor OF the
South or so understood. - augusta Con-

rid Of peaceably if practicable, other
wise forcibly. No man would have been
safe in New England doing the equiva-
lent of that which hundreds of secret or
open abolitionists did in the Southern
States for years before the war. New
England was differently situated had
no class, of population that was sus-
pected of being combustible; offered no
inducements to the fomenters of insur-
rectionss and therefore New England
was exemplary-had time to turn its
efforts to quarters less favorably circum-
stanced. The difference in the condition
was enough to account for the difference
in the manners, without presuming any
special barbarism in Southern localities.
~ New England propagandism tended
not only to divest Southern people of
their property, but society of its safety.
Either of these otfenses are very we'll
calculated to excite the passions Of men;
and the latter especially, by arousing
their fears would naturally make. them
prompt and vindictive; and so it should.
1t may be, that in some localities, in con-
sequence of feelings upon the whole

were brought to grief, and suffered vica-
riously but it is not probable, all things
considered, that the sum of the punish
ment was greater than the sum Of the
desert
1t is assumed to have been a very laud-
able mission for Northern men and wo-
men TO 90 South and incite slaves to alb
scond, or to teach them that it was their
duty to combine, and, in the cant of the
day, strike for liberty" The assump-
ton is in every sense false. Whatever
may be the order of society, or of the
domestic relations in one place, it is
not the concern of people belonging
to another. The interloping reformer
is an incendiary, and deserves to be
punished in proportion to the dis
turbance he seeks to excite. Let the
people of the North keep their ideas
at home, with themselves; and they will
keep out of the way of doing or meeting
harm Barbarous as they are, there is
some sense and some justice in the way
the natives of New Zealand treat their
missionaries for the result always is,
even in ghostly propagsndlsm, that,
either actually or symbolicalIy, one party
or the other has to be eaten. The North
has never yet done the negro anything
but injury, and it never will; and IT 1t
has for him any mercy in its heart, 1t
will let him alone. gBsg

whiskey
Where is your botile?" asked the
dealer, when he had filled the tan mea-

Meself is the bottle, was the reply
" I'll carry it inside of me. ~
The man of whiskey stared, but passed
over the utensil The hod-carrier drained
it to the last dreg He came back in
half an hour.
THAT half pint of whiskey is very
lonesome" said he, give me another
to keep it company" Another was
given him, and he drank it. At ; clock
the same afternoon he came again to the
whiskey dealer ,.

he said, raising a disturbance inside OF
me let me have another half pint TO sep
arate them"
He got it, aud went his way. Whether
the man is still living is more than We
can tell. There was no death that night
or yesterday so far as We have learned,

Alabama Affairs.

New YORK May 81. Morning papers

ington:
Gov Parsons, of Alabama, has ad-
dressed letter TO Gen. Howard, urging
the necessity of the Bureau increasing its
distribution of rations.
By recent census of that State, 81
out Of So counties return 52,92l destitute
persons, and he averages the starving
poor at 1000 During the war, Ala
bama lost 10000 men, over half heads OF
families, and there are 10000 white wild
ows and orphans. They conld raise no
crops last year on account OF the pres
ence of the armies.
The Legislature at its recent session,
authorized the issuing Of State bonds for
the purpose of procuring food, but they
have failed TO make them negotiable, and
the Governor purposes coming North to
put put them on the market for provis
ions. The citizens who are able con-
tribute freely, and the mortgages of farms
and crops to raise food is almost unlver.
sal. Feeble women and decrepld old
men walk miles to obtain ratiOns, and II
is quite customary to meet frantic moth
ers on the roadside crying with Their
starving children.
There are one hundred thousand des
titute whites and blacks, and to the 20
800 to which rations were issued daily
during May, he urges that the number be
increased for June 5000 The wheat and
potato crops gathered in daily will give
great relief, and it is believed the mum
Der of rations after August can be ma

General Lee.

The Crescent Monthly New Orleans)
for May has, as its leading article, we'll
written paper styled General Lee and
his Campaigns" by j. Quitman Moore,
Esq We quote the concluding para
graph which refers to the final scene, the
surrender of General Lees army, and
contains a trib0te to that leader, which
is Just as it is beautifully expressed
There stood the mournful remnants of
that once glorious army that had dipped
its conquering banners in the crimson
tide of eight and twenty sangulnary bat
ties, and strewn its heroic slain from the
feet OF the Pennsylvania mountains to the
gates of their own capital city; that had
given Manassas to Beauregard and
twined the fame of the Seven Pines bat
ties in the laurel wreath of Johnston
that had caused the waters Of the Shen-
andoah eternally to murmur the name OF
Stonewall jackson, and, stretching It's
right arm out to the distant West, and
planted victory on the dropping banners
of Bragg, that had witnessed four gigantic
campaigns, and through all their shifting
and tragic scenes, and under all Difficult
ties trials, tolls and dangers, had re-
NAMED steadfast and faithful to the last
and after having witnessed the rising
of the Southern constellation, as 1t
loomed up brightly on the horizon OF war,
pursuing to its splendid zenith the hery
path of Mars, now beheid, not unmoved,
its declining splendors going dawn in the
gloom of eternal night
And he, its illustrious chief, whose
lofty plume was ever its rallying point
in battle, and around whom its affec-
tons warmly clustered, now commended
it for its past devotion, and bade it adieu
forever Slowly and sadly he rode from
that mournful field, for his strong sword
hung shattered at his side, and the cause
that be fought for was beneath the foot
of power. Few were the eyes that grew
not moist at witnessing that departure
1t was the agony of great cause hnding
expression in the sublime soul of its
great defender And though that cause
be dead, yet will its memory continue to
live, and ever honOred will be those III
lustrious names that were sacrificed at
its altars And on the scroll of fame no
name among the list of eminent worthless
will shine with purer, serener or more
resplendent light than that of Robert
Edmund Lee. His fame is monumental.
His name will be placed alongside those
of the great captains of history-Marl-
borough and SAKE, of Tilly aud Eugene;
and as long as the fame OF the Southern
Struggle shall finger in tradition and
song, will his memory be cherished 10y
the descendants OF the Southern races;
while his character will stand up in the
twilight of history like some grand old
cathedral, lifting itself in impenshable
beauty above the objects of earth, majes
tic in its vast proportions, awful in its
solemn stateliness, sublime in its severe
simplicity.
