NUMBER 43.
The Petty DespOtisn, South.

There comes to us from Mariana, Flor
ida, what seems an incredible, and yet an
autheatic record of military order, (and a
trial, by a Captain G. NJ. Hamilton. Uni
ted States Army, May 26, in which two
yonng ladies are ordered to appear before
him.
The alleged catisc Of this order vas, that
the aforesaid young ladies' had scattered
the flowers laid on federal soldiers grave,
in the cemetery at that place. One ofthe
young ladies was of unquestionably Union
parents, adhering TO the Union throughout
the war. against every self interest. and
hence extraordinary influence was brought
to bear upon Captain Hamilton, to free
her ircu' the notoriety of an appearance
before military tribunal, to be held for
such an offense. The officer was inexora-
be, however, despite all influences brot
to bear upon him, ard vas determined to
gee, and in person try the offenders They
both appeared on the day named with nu-
merous friends arojtnd them. The Cap
tein Hamilton was the only officer of the
court, lie whole court martial himself,
judge, judge advocate, and all.-and be-
fore him appeared, first negro witness
but on examination, he could not say
which. or whether either of the young la
dies, was the criminal that scattered the
flowers it might have been Other young
ladies. All he knew, ycUnS ladies we're
there aud scattered the fUr1c.s. Another
negro witness brought 10 was Id an equal
puzzle about the identity Of young ladies.
Then, in defense, three white witnesses
Of the highest character were introduced,
to prove an alobi;, showing it was imposs-
bic that the young ladies could have been
there, and thus, Captain Hamilton was in
fog.
Of course, such petty prosecutions as
these, in which blundering negroes swear
against white girls, and United States
officer tries the white girls forced away
from home, scared half to death, in mil
itary court, destroy all good feeling, and
all harmony, and sow the seeds of distrust
and hatred, which a thousand years of
such reconstruction" will never end

A clothes line in yonder garden
Goes wandering among The trees,

And a lot OF fancy dry goods.

But the dry goods which dance on the tight rope
Out yonder just make up the rest.
So dream like she eeeins-sc gentle
You'd think her too good for earth
And feel that h0lier spirit

And how uncommcnly taper

cloth when it looks soiled !; 90 over the

and polish it with French chalk if light.

gloves may be cleansed several time in
this manner they may be cIeansed with
out putting on the gloves, but not as per-
feclly if allowed to dry damp they will be

ment of one of them: "My sister is lean,
and nearly as tall as a cocoanut tree; L, on

crinoline, which adds to the one, and some-
what dimiuishes the other, we pass both

For time Thsddcus Stevens stood al
most alone il lis advocacy of the con6sca-
ton Of TIE property Of former rebels. 1t
is evident, however, that the Radicals arc
gradually coming to look with favor upon
the grand scheme of spoliation. General
Butler has given his adhesion to it. In
.ate letter he says:
Is 1t not self-evide1t political truth
that where the land is owned in large
tracts by the employer, TO be titled hy the
employed, there can be no just and true
field for the exercise of republican citizen
ship? And it is one Of the pressing exi-
gencies of the country, as the very basis
of reconstruction, that some plan must be
devised by which the lands Of the South
may be divided among those who shall oc.
cupy and till them.
Those who have hitherto looked upon
the scheme of confscatiou as chimerical
may as we'll disabuse their minds. Confs-
cation will find many and strenuous advo-
Gates in Congress, led on by such men as
Stevens and Butler The South will no.

fruits OF his own industry, except to that
part which government takes in legitimate
taxation. No government is wise enough

Congress is bound to give us both the
benefit of equal laws, aud then to leave

no part of the duty of Congress to see
that any set of men whatever are making
money. When, therefore, anT branch cf
industry. in the exigencies of business, is
depres sed, for the leading men in Con-
gress with their tale CT woe, to INDUCE that
body to lay tax for their relief on their
neighbors. to empower then, to pass around
