PERsoNAL.-We see that Brevet Major
General John G. Robinson, colonel of the
Add .. S. infantry, and lately in command of
the district of North Carolina has been as
signed to the department of the Lakes, va
Gated by General Hooker. This places him
far enough from Raleigh to satisfy our peo
ple.-Progress.
We are quite satisfied, as all our loyal
people are, with tie officers in command
here, who have succeeded Gen. Robinson,
but every true man regretted to see
that gallant and patriotic man leave
the State Those of "our people" who
wished Gen. Robinson away, disliked him
on account of his warm devotion to the gov
ernment and the flag, which too many of
tour people" hate.

HE WHEAT CR0P.-The news from thu

THE WHEAT CRoP.-The news from the
country all around Atlanta, for a hundred
miles or more, as to the growing wheat crop,
is of the most cheering character. Not only
was an unusual breadth sown, but, so far as
we can hear from all directions, the report
is it looks in the highest degree promising.
If no mischief befals it, the yield will exceed
that of any former crop. 1t has been esti-
mated that crop of ten millions of bushels
will he gathered from the counties on and
contiguous to the State railway. The news
from the counties west and northeast of us,
as vet unjusty deprived of railway facilities,
is also good.
If the wheat crop turns out as now ex-
pected it will indeed prove great relief by
supplying food to the needy, and by reviv-
ing trade. Never before, we venture to say,
did people more fervently pray for full
crop; and never before did favorable an
swer seem more certain: A day of general
thanksgiving should be proclaimed, if the
present expectations are realized.-Atlanta

The subject of registration in the
Southern States was considered in Cabi-
net session to-day, and it was determin-
ed that all order should be sent to Gen.
Sheridan directing him to extend the
time for registering in his District, so
as to enable the Registers to get the
benefit Of the Attorney Generals opin-
ion, and, if need be, revise their action
in accordance with that opinion before
closing the registry. The Attorney
General has been so entirely occupied
with his onerous and absorbing official
duties in the Supreme Court that he has
not been able to devote the requisite
time and labor required to consider the
subject Of disfranchisement under the
Reconstruction acts. TO complete the
work, it becomes necessary to examine
the various statutes ofthe several South
ern States, and it is understood that Mr..
Stansbery will be prepared to submit
his opinion to the Cabinet on Tuesday

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT IN JAPAN.-The ia
panese punish murder by decapitation par
ricide and other such heinous crimes by CRU
citiXion. A prisoner sentenced to death is
taken to the place of execution, surrounded
by the officers, and having hung around his
neck placard, giving his name, age and
rank, his crimes and sentence After his ex-
ecution his head is left suspended in sight
for three days, with the placard still hang
ing to it. Arson is punished by burning the
criminal at the stake; yet as enforced, this
penalty does not bring very painful death.
The criminal is first kept on a very scanty al
lowance of food for SINE time. Then, before
being taken out for execution he is overfed
on rich and highly spiced viands, till he be-
comes stupid and indifferent. He is fasten-
ed to the stake and wood and light materi-
ais are heaped high about him. These are
lighted at the same moment in six different
places, and the victim is smothered by the
smoke, as quickly as he could be strangled
by a rope.

ANDERS0NVIL LE---RESPONSIBiLITY OF JEFF
DAVIS,

The Washington correspondent of the
Boston 1drertiser in his despatch of last Fri
day says:
The Judiciary Committee has in its posses
sion letter written by Confederate soldier
on duty at the Andcrsonvile prison pen to
Jefferson Davis. The letter enters at length
into details of the barbarous treatment
The writer says the Federal prisoners were
frequently shot, and that rebel officers were
encouraging the slaughter. The writer also
says he hates Yankees, was driven from his
home in Louisiana by them, but still he can
not endure service which compels him to
witness and take part in such cruelties as
were purposely practised there. He wrote
to Mr.. Davis because he believed him to be
a man of honor and Christian, and that
the terrible treatment melted out to the prs-
oners was certainly unauthorized by him.
The soldier urged that he might be shielded
from censure for writing the letter, and that
President Davis should have the matter in
vestigated and the abuses corrected. The
endorsements show that Davis received this
letter, but that his only action in the case
was to refer it to General Windcr, the per-
sor directly responsible for the whole afro
ciOus prison system of the rebels. 1t is
known that there are also in the possession
of the Government two letters from rebel
surgeon at Andersonvile to the Richmond
authorities one protesting against the bar
barous treatment of the Federal prisoners,
and subsequent one evidently written after
he had received an answer to the first, as he
then apologies for his previous protest, say
ing that when it was written he did not
know that there were diplomatic reasons for
the course pursued toward the prisoners, and
in another place he speaks of having been
ignorant of the international reasons for the
treatment our prisoners received These
letters are The clearest evidence yet brought
to light that the cruelties practiced upon our
prisoners were deliberately resorted to by
the direction of Davis government to force
an exchange upon their own terms

The Sentinel alludes to the fact that we
have failed to publish the statement of Mr..
Anderson. Superintendent of the N. G. Rail-
road, giving his reasons for the discharge of
Col. Dunn. We received the statement
from Mr. Anderson, but declined to publish
it, because it contained a grave charge affect
ing Col. Dunn's personal character. We
shall believe the CHI arge when proved, but
not before. If it should be proved, we will
have no hesitation in regarding Col. Dunn
as unworthy of confidence or respect.
We repeat our statement that no uncon-
ditional Union man or Republican can
obtain employment under our State c"rpor-
ations; and that services performed for the
Confederacy, and sympathy with the " lost
cause" constitute with these corporations
the passport to Office or employment.

We call the attention of property holders
in this City to the just, well-conceived and
well-expressed appeal made to them to-day,
through the Standard, 10y the non-property
holders.
We trust this appeal will have its effect
Rents are too high. High as they are, they
might be borne with more ease and patience
but for the onerous taxes all have to pay
After all, those who are best off are the prop
erty holders.
They can afford to make concessions to
others. We know there are two sides to
every question. We have considered this
subject in all its bearings, and we have no
hesitation in saying that the appeal of the
non property holders is reasonable and just,
and that it ought to be met promptly and
in liberal spirit by the owners of property.
