presume that every intelligent man conversant
with the facts OF history will have no difficulty
in branding them as utterly lalse and slander-
GUS. But thousands will see the charges ,whO
have no information upon the subject TO which
they relate, and upon all such those chANges
will have an effect. They may not fully b6Weve
them, but they will not know them TO be un-
true; ahd they will have at least the suspicion
that the head of this republic, charged With the
execution OF its laws, representing its dignity,
its character, ana its power to ali others nations
OF the earth, Is an accomplice in assassination
and murder.
The Judiciary Committee owe it to themselves
and The country TO make prompt report upon
this matter. They should lose no time in

has made, or at least to bring TO their Sno W..

risk very little in saying that he has not the
slightest particle of such evidence. He has
made the charge in the mere wantonness of
party feeling,-to Crafty his personal and
political resentments, and to promote, by what
be deems the most eligible method, his own
political advancement. But the Committee
should lose no time in ascertaining the truth,

The Wyandot pioneer. (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1853-1868, 1867-02-28

GENERAL SHERIDAN sent, few days
ago to Miss Rebecca Wright OF Win
chester, Va, an elegant gold watch, an
exquisitely wrought chain, brooch
and charms. The brooch is Of gold,
beautifully wrought into a gauntlet, ,and
set with pearls. One of the charms is
a sword set with very valuable dia
monds. Accompanying this gift was
an autograph letter from General Sher-
idan acknowledging Miss Wrieht's ser
vices, which led to the Generals sue
cess at Winchester, in the battleof the
10Th Of September, 1864. Miss Wright
was young Quakeress, well known
for her faith in a united nationality.
and understood to be willing to aid the
cause at any sacrifice. When General
Sheridan was in great doubt how to
act he sent q scout to the lady, who,
writing upon a slip of paper which she
enclosed in tin-foiI, directed it to be
placed in the mouth that it might es-
cape the enemy's search, and thus fur
nish the information that enabled the
General to achieve his victory.
The Wyandot pioneer. (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1853-1868, 1867-02-28
Relief for the South.

The New York Tribune expresses
regret that the efforts made by the
Southern Relief Association to aIleyi-
ate the distress prevailing in several of
the Southern States, are receiving so.
little encouragement Possibly the
Tribune does not know that the South
ern people themselves have been ad-
Ylsed by their newspapers to reject such
relief, II sent to them, because it comes
from radical sources. Newspapers in
Mobile, Memphis, NASHVILLE and Charles
ton, from which we have published ex-
tracts, assert that it wonld be a bumil.
iation to which no true Southren would
willingly consent to partake of the
bounty Offer ed by people who treat
the South as conquered territory.
Now, the people of the East and
West, however literally disposed, are
not in the habit of rendering aid where
it is not wanted. On many occasions
they have answered appeals for food
and raimcnt with a generous hand, and
without stopping to consider whether
the recipients were their friends or en-
emies: and they are ready to do it now.
1t is sufficient for them to know that
suffering exists that there are house
less and hungry men and women press
ing need Of food and clothing, and that
supplies of either would be gladly and
gratefully received. In this they do
not differ from the generous and lu-
mane the world over, and take no par
ticular credit to themselves for being
charitable and free handed. They rec
ognize it as a religious duty to clothe
the poor and feed the hungry. That
is all. But they do not desire to be in
tr1usive in their benevolence, or to in
sist on forcing their gifts upon unwill-
ing recipients. If the people of the
South who are in want preferpride and
poverty, stills and starvation, to graf
itude and grub, there is no reason WHY
they should not be gratifed, but it is q
reason why the efforts to relieve dis
tress through the instrumentality Of the
Southern Relief Society meet with no
greater encouragement Com.
