well deserving of notice;

tces:
An official copy by Major Gen. W. s. HAND
CUFF, commander of the 5th Military District,
dated Headquarters, New Orleans, Nov. 20, has
reached me through the regular channel +: and l
herewith communicate it to Congress for such ac-
ton as under the circumstances they may deem
proper.
1t will be perceived that Gen. HANDcuFF an
nounccs his intention of making the laws enacted
by the late rebels, his rule of conduct, that he
will uphold the authority of such courts as are
presided over by Judges who were notorious
rebels that he will use the military power under
his comman to prevent the reconstruction laws
of Congress from being enforced. lie explicitly
.clares that it is the sacred right of white mon
alone, to sit as jurors aud that the writ of hubeas
corpus is designed exclusively for their benefit.
lie goes further and declares, in one comprehen-
sive sentence, that the principles which prompted
Southern Democrats to rebel, still held by the
,oplc of the South as an inheritance, and ever
should be.
| When a great soldier with unrestricted power
in his handa, to protect loyalty v"luntarially for
goes the opportunity to crafty the laudable exer
else of that power, and devotes himself to build
ing up the lost cause, and thus strengthening the
enemies of his country, he presents an example of
the highest devotion to "my policy" and is de-
serving the highest commcndati0n.
Just here, in imitation of the example Of my
s uthern brethren, wish to mention the name of
Washington although it may be out of place -
m rely to give high sound and Importance to my
statement, am far from saying that Gen. Hand
cuff, is the only ofhc in the army. who is inilu-
enced by aIabitioUs motives and principles, or who
has extraordinary sympathy for the rebels Doubt
less there others inaucrced in like manner,
anil with suitable opportunities, equal devotion to
these great principles for which MI my of the
southern chivstey laid down their lives.
But the distinguished honor belongs to this
| n ,ble m IN, in giving WtterAHces to such scnti-
nj onts in the {arO of military order. Such be-
ing the case, respectfully suggest that Congress
should publicly recognize Gen. Handcufs fidelity
to nv policy, that his example may he followed

Death of George Mhit,on.

We clip the following sad intelligence from the
Toledo Oo@m,rcioi, of Monday last:
0u Saturday afternoon about half past four
O'Clock, young man while attempting to cross
the river the ice, about forty rods below the G.,
& 7. Railroad Bridge, when the middle Of
the river, between the Wabash elevator No. 3 and
Trowbridge's stave factory, on the east side, was
seen to break through into the water, and heard to
cry for help but although parties both sides
of the river ran Immediately to the spot, the un-
fortunate youth disappeared in the water, before
assistance could be rendered. In the course Of
half an hour hts dead body was recovered, by
means of graphing hooks. from the bed of the
river directly underneath the spot where he was
last seen alive.
DR.. j. NJ. Cooke, Coroner, was summoned, but
on learning the circumstances did not deem it
necessary to hold an inquest. 1t was ascertained
that the name or the deceased was George Whit
son, aged about IS years, nephew of Mr.. Isaac
Ridcout, who lives in Perrysburg township, and
with whom young Whitsou had resided, while at
tending school. His widowed mother lives neal
Perrysbrrg.
