THE "SITUATION."

There has but little transpired in the
National Council of late to excite hope, or
calm the fears of the country as to its par
tisan designs. The only. y.left for us, is
in the bold stand adopted by the President
in opposition to the action of Congress-
In assuming this position he is emphatic,

ments; opposing negro suffrage in favor
of the speedy admission of Southern Repre-.
reseutatives; and opposed to the permanent
cy of the Freedmen's Bureau, and universal
suffrage in the District of Columbia, The
South can offer but single objection to his
position, and that is, that he does not advo-
cate the repeal of the Test Oath. The Con-
stitution as it was, is the aVowel platform
he has assumed. How far his influence
may be able to control the designs of Con-
gress, is a matter for time to develope. -

animal. This order was authorized by Gen.
Gilmore, on his visit to this District, in
August last. We learn that certain sub
ordinate officer in Chesterfield, rejoicing in
the title of "captain," has undertaken to
annul this order, and is creating great dis
satisfaction and uneasiness among the peo-
pie of that District, for fear that they will
be deprived of their horses, after having
complied with the terms prescribed by the
Provost Marshal, under Gen. Gillmore's
order. We advise those who may be dis
turbed in their possession of animals under
such circumstances, to report the matter to
Headquarters, at Darlington, where we feel
assured they will receive justice, and see

PRESIDENT JOHNSON.

Our people have been naturally chary in
in tacking themselves to the sleeve of any
man or set of men in authority, from Pres
ident JOHNSON down to the humblest in
vidual in the country. They could not
afford to be lavish of confidence, while so
many bitter recollections of its frequent
displacement we're retained. The opinions
of men are so frequently liable to change,
that one man can rarely be found in woom
a whole nation can put its unlimited trust.
President JOHNSON holds, perhaps, the
confidence of the people of the whole coun-
try, to greater extent than any other liv-
ing man. The subjoined extract from a

MILITARY ORDER.

In our advertising columns will be found
q Circular from the Military authorities, in
reference to compensation to freedmen for
labor performed during the last year. 1t
will be observed that the goth day of Feb
ruary 1865, is the time from which they
are declared entitled to compensation. We
are informed by Capt. BoYCE, commanding
at this Post, that this date has been desig-
mated for the reason that on that day, the
Federal authorities took possession of Co.

them. would, therefore, beg that all ef-

"relief," both in Charleston and elsewhere,
be Immediately stopped.
With thanks to the warm-hearted and
generous citizens of Charleston for their
kind feelings towards me and mine,
I remain, yours very truly,
MARY ANNA JACKSON.
We are glad to find such sentiments as
this letter expresses, given to the country.
"Stonewal" JACKSON, was perhaps the
greatest representative champion the Con-
federacy could claim during its brief and
perilous existence; but like thousands of
others whose skeletons cover every battle
field in the country, he but fulfilled accord
ing to his ability, the measure of his duty.
The nameless soldier that fell in some des-
perate charge, did the same. He too has
left wife and children, dependent upon the
worlds charities. If then we are to lift
from want, the relicts of those who fell in
defence of our homes, let the evidences of
our charity apply, from common fund, to
each and all alike. To do 30 is not charity,
but a we'll defined obligation of duty resting
upon all whose means afford the privilege.

Charleston can apply the laws of trade to
her dealings, so as to make them profitable
to the buyer, her merchants may expect a
liberal share of patronage.

MRS. "STONEWALL" JACKSON.
The editor of the Charleston Daily Neaos
has recently addressed letterto Mrs. JACK
SON in relation to the report that she was
suffering for the necessaries of life, and
whether or not such reports were correct
The delicate reply upsets these rumors, and
conveys sentiments that will be pleasiDgly
acceptable to the country.
COTTAGE HOME, N. c., Jan %.
My DEAR SIR: Your letter of the Sd
inst. was forwarded to me from Lexington,
Virginia. have delayed an answer for a few
days, hoping to receive the paper to which
you referred, but it has not yet reached me,
and | have not had the pleasure Of reading
your editoral; but, judging from the re-
marks in your letter suppose it is SIM
liar publication to what has recently ap-
peared in many of the newspapers represent
ing the family of General Jackson as suffer
ing for the necessities of life, and appealing
to the public for their relief.
1t is a source of deep regret and mortif
cation to me, and to my family and friends,
that such misunderstanding should exist
in regard to my circumstances. 1t is true
that almost the whole of my little fortune
has been swept away My noble husband,
actuated by patriotism, invested in Confed-
crate bonds, to assist the Government, and l
following his example, the consequence
was the loss of nearly the whole of his es.
tate, but God has still left to me one of the
kindest of fathers, who has the means of
providing all the comforts of life for me and
my orphan child. The pecuniary suferings
of others in our afflicted land have been so
much greater than my own that, in this re-
spect, l have only need of more thankful
heart. And l, of all others, should have
no fears for the future, for the covenant
keeping God of my husband has watched
over us heretofore, and the love of this
great people to me and my little child, on
his account, fills my heart with grateful
joy.
While it is one of the greatest comforts
of my desolated life to see the many beauti.
ful and eloquent tributes to the memory
of my beloved husband, and l would CRATE.
fully accept any offerings that are OoIuntar-
lily given as testimonials of love and grati-
tude to him, yet the contributions that are
now called for are given under a. false im-
preston, and it is inconsistent with my
