Reputatiom after Death.

1t is very singular how the fact ofa
mans death often seems to give people
true idea of his character, whether for
good or evil, than they have ever
possessed while he was living and act
ing among them. Death is so genuine
a fact that it excludes falsehoods, or
bctrays its emptiness I; it is touchstone
that proves the gold and dishonors the
baser metal. Could the departed,
whoever he may be, return in week
after his decease, he would almost in
variably find himself at higher or a
lower point than he had formerly
occupied in thescale ofpublic apprccir.

ANIILIoNAIRE A PRIVATE.

In a sketch Of the life of the late
Elias Howe, Jr., the inventor of the
sewing machine, we find the following
incident; "At the moment when
Mr.. Howe had avowed his determina-
tionto enlist, his coachman had entered
the building to witness the proceedings.
He was warm-hearted Irishma an nam
ed Michael Cahill, past the age of mil
itary service as defined by law. Upon
hearing his employers speech, he rush.
forward, and laundering upon the
platform, he cried out: "Put down
my name, too! / can't bear to have
the old man 30 alonew So down went
the name Of Michael Cahill, coach
man, next to that Of Elias Howe.
Laughter and cheers mingled in about
equal proportions.
For four months after the seven
teenth Connecticut entered the field,
the Government was so pressed for
money that no payments to the troops
could be made. One day private
soldier came quietly to the paymaster's
Office in Washington, and as there was
several officers already there to be at
tended to, he took his seat in a corner
to wait his turn. When the officers
had been disposed of Colonel Walker
turned to him and said:
"Now, my man, what can I do for
you ?"
"I have called" said the soldier Ito
see about the payment of the Seven
teenth c Connecticut"
The paymaster, little irritated,
told him bluntly, "that a paymaster
could do nothing without money, and
1
thatuntil the Government could furnish
some, it was useless for soldiers to come
bothering him about the pay of their
regiments"
~ know" said the soldier, "thc
Government is in straits, and have
called to find out how much money it
will take to give my regiment two
months pay, and if you will tell me, |
am ready to furnish the amount"
The officer stared with astonishment,
and asked the name of the soldier,
who was no other than Elias Howe.
On referring to his books, Col. Walker
found that the sum required was
$31 900. Upon receiving the infor-
nation, the private wrote a draft for
the sum, and received in return a
memorandum certifying the advance,
and promising reimbursement when
the Government could furnish the
money.
Two or three days after, at Fairfax
Court House, the regiment was paid
when Mr.. Howe's name was called, he
went up to the paymaster's desk, re-
ceived $2S 60 of his own money, and
signed the receipt therefor, "Privatt
Elias Howard, Jr." After rendering
all the services a man in his physica
; condition could render, he reluctantly
asked a discharge and returned home
! He used to say to the soldiers
Mhave got to leave you, boys. I'm

Railroad FreightS.

We are glad that the Petersburg Lndeo
has interested itself in ourcomplaints in ref
erence to railroad freights between this city
Petersburg and Richmond. It is true
that if the labor and enterprise of the South
is to compete successfully in its own sec
ton with the manufactures of the North,
the propinquity of the consumer is one OF
the chiefest points in their favor. 1t is
putting patriotism and sectional pride to
too great test to ask it to purchase articles
manufactured near you, when those made
at distance are laid down at your doors
for less price. Home industry is often de-
feated by local prejudices, and we often de-
nounce our people for fault which lies at
our own doors.
There are many articles manufactured in
Richmond and Petersburg which should
and would be used in this State, if the rail
road transportation was not so high that
the price is advanced beyond our reach.
It is true, that articles are now transpor-
ted from Boston to Wilmington for much
less than between Richmond and Whining
ton, although the distance by Railroad is
about the same. without counting.the dis

GENTLEMEN:-Ihinkin you would like
to learn how the late rains have served the
cotton crops in this section, write giving
you information.
Two weeks ago there never was better
prospect for a fine crop, but to-day don't
suppose there ever was a poorer. Many
fields, which but few days since were
fast opening, and planters were beginning
to pick, are now saturated with water, and
in many places covered, and instead of the
white lint hanging from its native stem,
fields are covered with black rotten boils.
saw one of our large planters in the
village to-day, who informed me that he
sent to his field to have few bolls gather
ed for examination, and upon examination
he found that the seed had actually sprout-
ed, an occurrence which has never been
known in this section of country before.
Such is the condition of our cotton fields
at present With fair weather much of the
middle crop will yet be made, while the
top crop has almost entirely shielded off It's
forms.
Since writing the above have AIDE an
examination of field adjoining the vii
lage, upon which there was as fine IL crop
as it had ever promised. [ found many of
the bolls perfectly rotten, quantities sprout
ed, and some SO far as to be putting forth
leaves [ gathered few of the bolls and
send with this for your own examination.
Very respectfully, yours, &C., Fl.

Horrible Suicide,

particulars of case of suicide which are
narrowing to read. 1t seems that Mr..
VIM. G. Foster, worthy citizen of Mill
bridge, Me-, while laboring under excite
ment caused by business losses, shut him
self up in his barn and deliberately hang
ed himself. A young daughter noticing
her fathers actions, suspected that all was
not right, and sent little child to the
barn to watch her father. The child re-
turning, said "Your pa is standing mp
straight on the barn floor smoking" In
minute the daughter was at the barn, and
beheld through an opening in the door her
father suspended by the neck. Forcing an
enhance through the door, she at once tried
to release the body, but her strength was
insufficient. Running into the street, she
raised an alarm, and then overcome, the
poor girl sank to the ground senseleSs,. and
in that condition she has remained since
with but slight hope of her recovery. inc
body of the father was taken down anu
life was extinct

The Amnesty Proclamation.

We have alreaN3Fstated that the Presi-
dent and his entire Cabinet, who attended
the consultation upon the subject, were
unanimously of opinion that the amnesty
proclamation which was then agreed upon,
and subsequently issued, would have the
legal effect of relieving every person en-
braced within its terms of all disqualifica-
TONS as we'll as all penalties, incurred by
completely in the late rebellion. We ad-
ded that no jurist Of respectable standing
of either party would, uninfuenced by the
violent pressure of political necessity, deny
the soundness OF this opinion. We re-
Trained, however, from any speculation lbs
to the means proper to be employed in
giving practical effect to the exercise of the
privileges restored by that important docu-
ment. It by no means follows that the ex-
ecutiye branch of the Government while
possessing and exercising ample authority
to remit the forfeiture OF rights, is the pro-
per channel through which those rights
may be asserted and maintained. This
pertains rather to the judicial authority.
In this view of the matter it as little
surprising to witness the crude suggestions
and Wild speculations INDUCED by the Rad
ical press as to the past and future action
of the President. They say that Congress
has enacted law by thirds majority
which provides that "No person shall be
registered or vote by reason of Executive
pardon or amnesty" and that the Prcsi-
dent, intending to nullify this provision by
his proclamation, has rendered himself liza
bic to impeachment We have seen it sug-
gested, in no quarter friendly to the adj
administration, that the President in
tends to interfere, directly OF indi-
rectly, in the miserable farce of ere
gistration now going on at the South
His proclamation, in effect, puts all whom
it embraces upon an equal footing with
other citizens of the United States-that is
its legal effect. he believcs-and if this be
SO, and the unconstitutional provision
quoted is thereby nulliied, it only shows
his opponents to admit virtually that not
only it, but all other legislation of Congress
setting at naught the constitutional powers
of the Executive, were null and void from
the beginning. The proclamation may
have the effect, and doubtless will, of
bringing the question Of the constitution
atty of the main features of what are
called the reconstruction laws before the
legal tribunals of the country. 1t places
the great mass of the Southern people in
an attitude to assert and maintain their
rights and privileges, and if, when finally
passed upon by the Supreme Court, OBJ
thorized agencies, military Or otherwise
revolutionary, it will again become the
duty of the Executive to interfere and
carry into effect, at every hazard, the man
date OF the judicial authority. And this,
the country may rely upon, will be done to
the letter.
