Gov. Fairchild, Of Wisconsin, was one
Of the brayest heroes of the war against
the rebellion \ gentleman who was in
troduced to him the other day, observed,
as he took his left hand, that he had lost
his right arm. Yes" said the Govern
or in reply, " I attended convention
at Gettysburg in 1868, and met South
ern delegate who was very anxious to
walk arm in-arm with me, and when We
separated found that the embrace had
been rather costly" The remark was
quietly made, but suggested world of
valuable reflections.

President Johnson, in all the speeches
made during his late tour, had much to
say about the Constitution, and the care
to be exercised over it, In his Nashville
speech, made in September, 1861, he had
some remarks on the same subject, but
in totally different vein, as the reader
will Judge:
When you find a man anywhere pratt
ing about the Constitution Of the United
States, spot hin1-he's traitor"

ever saw gentleman parad:ng in Regent street
with wonderfully lifelike representation in ena-
mel OF human eye al inch or two below his
chin, or in place thereof lighted segar with
ruby at the end to indicate the fire, or a.Iucifer
match OF precious metal closely resembling tho
real article.
The editor OF the Nashville tTenn.) Despatch
asserts that he knew personally man, MILES
DARDEN by name, whose height was seven feet
six inches--two inches higher than PORTER, the
Kentucky giant. His weight was trife over a
Thousand pounds. He measured around the waist
six feot four inches, and it took one hundred feet
of plank to mako his coffin. He was ffty-five
years old when he died, full of humor, and pos
sessed of fno eense, though very sensitive on the
subject Of corpulency.
naturalist says: "Last summer, while walk
ing in my park, I observed a green woodpecker
alight on the ground some fifty PAGES before me,
look around to see il he was observed, then lie
down and simulate death by stretching out HIM
self motionlees, and hanging his tongue out as far
as possible. He occasionally pulled in his bill.
He had selected q place near an ant hill. The
ants thinking him dead, would cover his tongue to
devour him. Whom 1t was black with tants, he
would swallow them, and repeat his trick, until
his nav could hold no more"
aeoShespohoeht VI the oostoh Eost, "FiahB
from Richmond, begins his letter by saying: "The
inferiority Of the black race is here an established
fact, therefore what would seem to some preju-
dice againat color is simply the distinction made
between the two races. "A visitor will at once no.
tice the FREQ and uprestrained manner in which
the whito children are allowed to associate and
play with the blacks. A Southern mother allows
her children to play at will and pleasure with tho
little Africans who may have belonged to the
family, and are now qusrtered on the premises.
What Northern lady would countenance such asso-
oiations for her children2"

SA VANWAH INDIGNANT

The Savannah Herald, of the 5th, in an ar
tiole headed "Where is the Cincinnati and
Charleston Railroad ?" asks us if we will in.
form it where we get the authority for de-
nominating the project Of railroad from
Cincinnati to Charleston, ''The Cincinnati and
Charleston Railroad" The report we pub.
lished from the Cincinnati papers was styled
in the journal we clipped it from, as the
Southern Railroad Project" but, as that
project was for the building of road from
Cincinnati to Charleston, Dia Knoxville, we
changed the heading, as it should be. We
are not aware that any "projeot" looking
towards Savannah directly, has been contem-
plated. We are under the impression that
the City of Charleston, as well IS our State,
has subscribed very largo amount to the
Road, and we do not know of the City of sa-
vannah having done 80.
The Charleston daily news. [volume] (Charleston, S.C.) 1865-1873, 1866-05-09

If our Savannah friends desire q direct
connection with Cincinnati, we certainly have
no objection; and we presume we arc quite
as we'll acquainted with tho fact, as either
our Georgia neighbors or the people out
West, that there are other seaports in tho
South besides Charleston. But we have yet
to learn that Savannah has any direct interest
in the railroad project to connect Charleston
and Cincinnati-either by the Knoxville or
tho Paint Rock route. IF our worthy con-
temporary can convince us differently, we
shall be willing to confess our error in styling
the report referred to rs the CHARLESTON
AND CINCINNATI RAILROAD PRoJEcT."

WEDNESDAY MORNING, MAY 8, 1866.

WADE HAMPTON AND GEN. SHERMAN.
We'pablished, some days since, the manly
letter Of General HAMPTON to Senator Rev
'ERDY.JoHNsoN, denying the cowardly impu-
tation of General SHERMAN, that it was by
his orders that Columbia was burned. 1t
will be remembered that General HAMPTON
asked 'Mr. JOHNSON that a committee should
be appointed to Investigate the matter, and
rendered himself ready to prove the truth of
his statements. The reading of the letter in
the Senate seems TO have produced the same
sensation that theshutteriug of q red rag does
uponG flock of gsbblers. There was q gen.
eral spreading of feathers and swenipg of
wattles. The idea that ga reber' should ask
the>Seuate to do him justice 80 far as to per-
NIT hie, to expose to its satisfaction q histor-
icaf faasehood, was treated as a great outrage
on that sensitive body. There was a. great
outcry made against General HAMrpoN and
a unaaimous determination expressed to.giTe
no heed to his proposition. The olamor had
its effect, and MIR. JOHNSON deeuaed it con.
sistentwith proper sense Of duty and man-
hood 80 withdrew the application of one
whom he knows to be to-day as pare, coura-
geous and honorable gentleman as thore is
jim the whole country.
It is, of course, of little use for us to speek
cf the skghted manner in which the gsllant
Generafs letter was received by the Senate.
We only call attention to it as another jllns-
tration ofdhe fact that, not content with being
or the WANING sidein the late war, certain
class of people, who did none of the ighting,
have determined that the history of the strug-
gle shall DO manufactured to order, and as
suit particular masket. As a Baltimore -ex-
change, says, witnesses whose evidence would
not thave been listansd TO by a single man
upon jury having any knowledge of their
livessand character hsye been examined by
hundreds, by military courts asd Congress!
sionai Commi4tees, and their testimony has
been given to the public and accepted by q
large nnmber Of people rs true. Asy smooth
aongued -sooundpsl who will swear. to the ex-
dstenoe of untold iniquitiss in the South will
be heard by the hour, bat when an injured
man desipes to re6nte a falsehood he is met
with torrent of abuse, siznply because he
was soldier under General LEE
1t can DO proven, as conelusively as any
other fact can be, that Federal troops passed
through Columbia sore three hours before O.
fire was kindted, and shat by Federal tnoops
the fire was kindled, and that by Federal
troops the city was buroed. 1t may be that
General SHERMAN was not close to the town
when il was fred, and has been imposed
upon. II SO, he should, if he be true maa
and soldier, be the first one to invite an in
vestgation. Whether he does this or not, we
rest in the conviction that, sooner or later, the
matter will be made clear to all men.

RADICAL PROGRAMME.

WENDELL PH1LLres, of Boston, is the real
leader of the Radical movement, by virtue of
his having more brains and more courage
than any of the rest of the party. He does
its thinking, and directs its policy and action
In this view, the following programme which
he has gust dictated, is important-it indi-
Gates to what issue and complexion the Radi-
Gals will come at last in the fight against the
Constitution of the country, which is defended
by the President and his friends:
"Our true. policy is this: Let Congress plainly
announce its belief that no State lately in rebel
lion Is fit to be ,readmitted TO Congress. Let it
lay down the principle that so one shall euer b.

NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN.

A London correspondent of one of the
Eastern journals mentions that n steamer had
recently made trial trip in the Thames, pro-
PEELED without either paddle wheel or screw,
the principle of propulsion being called the
"Hydraulic Propeller" Water taken in at
the bow of the vessel, by simple machinery
itself worked by steam-by being elected at
the stern, is made to do the work.
Now it appears this is not the fret expert
ment, by any means, of the Same method of
propulsion in the Thames. A boat, the in
yention of o southern engineer, the Nrginian,
JAMES RumsEY moved by the same process
or motive power, WAS tried on the Thames in
February, 1913, with speed attained of four
miles to the hour, against wind and tide. He
had, however, previously tried the same motor
on the Potomac in l797 with success, despite
imperfectly made machinery. While his
English boat was being built RUMsEY died,
and for lack of his personal interest, proba.
bly,, the contrivance came to naught.
Previously, BERNoRILLI, an eminent French
mathematician, had suggested very much the
same principle; and DR.. FRANKLIN intro.
duced his ideas to the American public after
JOHN FITCH had started the notion of steam
propulsion. Undor FRANKLIN's patronage q
society was formed in Philadelphia to foster
and promote RUMsEY's motor, and sent him
to Europe. F1Tca's steam-paddle boat was o
regular packet on the Delaware in lZ90, but
failed for want of patronage. FULTON came
later, and under the influence of his successes
F1TcH's experiments have been comparatively
forgotten. We shall await with interest fol-
the experiments with this English revival oi
RUmsEY's adaptation of the suggestion Of
BERNoRILuT.s principle.

GENERAL SHERIDAN AND THE RECON-
STR UC6TON 0OMkITTEE.

Mr.. WAshinuRNE, member of Congress
from Illinois, reported hast week, from the
Committee on Reconstruction, batch of tes-
timany as to the atate of feeling at the South,
the condition Of the negroes, andso On among
which is communication from Gen. SHEa1.
DAN, IN response to q series of interrogations
propounded to him by the COMMITTEE Gen.
SHERh9AN's report seems to DE written in q
fair spirit of oandor and impartiality, and is,
upon the whole, favorable to the South.
There is one passage in it worthy of the spe.
oial attention. Of the Committee, and of those
who think that Legislation for the negro
should be the exclusive business of Congress
Replying to question as to the capacity of
the negro, he says, among other things: I
believe the best thing that Congress or the
States can do, is to legislate as little as posi-
bic in reference to the colOred man, beyond
giving him security in person aud property"
