WASHINGTON March 20, 6l-Dear
Sir Mr.. Archibald Roane, for the last
six or seven years clerk in the attorney
generals Office, desires from me letter
of introduction to you. and he desires, it
not in the view of anticipating admins
trative favor, but that he may have the
honor of your personal intercourse OF
this | take pleasure in assuring you-he
is eminently worthy. A southern man
by birth, family and affection, he has
carefully and ably discussed in Mr.. De
Bows Review and other southern works
the lamentable events which have been
gradually undermining aud have at length
overthrown the American Union. Whilst
practical man, he is also ripe and &C
compished scholar, with indeed, pre-
dominant literary tastes and habits. In
the discharge of his official duties he has
combined in singular degree the puresl
integrity and most enlightened intelli
gence with modest contentment in his lot
having more than once declined Offices oil
more conpicuous employment in the pub
llc service. He now resigns his present
othce from sentiments of devotion to tha
which alone he can feel to be his country
lamely, the confederate states, from one
of which (Texas) he was appointed
must heartily commend him as a gentle
man aud man to your confidence anG
esteem, aud | am, with the highest con
sideration, your obedient servant.

WASHINGTON BIRTHDAY. anniversary
of the birth Of General Washington was gener-
ally observed yesterday throughout the city
and all over the country. Business was gen.
orally suspended, and, though there were no
magnificent demonstrations, the multitudes of
the metropolis were in the streets and parks
enjoying most delicious holiday. The name
Of Washington was on almost every tongue,
showing that his memory is still deeply en-
shrined in the hearts Of his countrymen. The
study of Washington s character and the cele-
bration Of his services are the duty Of every
American citizen; and it is to be hoped that
before another return of this anniversary his
example will be felt throughout public SER
vice grown corrupt before the centennial of
our independence.

The LAST OF THE "SwAMp ANGELS. The
notorious Steve Lowery, the last and the most
desperate Of the terrible Lowery gang of
North Carolina outlaws, has been killed The
news of his death is printed in another part of
this days HERALD For ten years the Lowerys
kept the mountain districts about Lumberton
in terror, and outrage after outrage upon the
white people was committed by this gang of
negroes. Indeed, about three years ago they
were at war with the inhabitants of the whole
section, and for time it seemed impossible to
subdue them. Their ranks were successfully
thinned, however, by the capture and death OF
members of the band, till there remained only
this young man, who has at last met the fate
Of the others. No story Of brigandage in the
mountains of Spain or Italy was ever more
terrible, and the people Of North Carolina are
to be congratulated on the extinction of the
"Swamp Angels.

The TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT AT THE RroHT
PorNT.-It has reached Washington and is in
vadlng Capitol Hill and the purlieus Of Con-
gress Nowhere is it more needed. A great
many Congressman stow away considerable
amount Of liquor, and that not of the best
sort. The drinking shops around the Capitol
are much resorted to by host of lobbymen,
and there they exercise their persuasive
powers with members over drink The
scenes at these places sometimes are anything
but creditable to gentlemen holding the po-
sition of representatives of the people. Besides
there is o great deal of dissipation at Wash
ington which a vigorous temperance crusade
might check. 1t is said that a movement will
be made next Saturday against the liquor
selling establishments. We rather think, how
ever, it will require more praying and heavier
artillery generally to drive Congressman into
temperance than have been used in Ohio or
elsewhere It will require large force of
women. But as women prove the most sue
cessful lobbyists they may exercise an infu-
ence in better cause.

The New British Parliament.

According to our news Of this morning
the new Parliament, which is to meet on
the 5th of March. will be Immediately
prorogued until the 18th. The avowed
object of the prorogation is to allow MIR.
Disraeli and those members of the House
of Commons who may have accepted posi-
tions in the new Cabinet to go before their
constituents for reelection. This is not un-
common custom on occasions like the present.
The Queens speech will not be read until the
reassembIng on the 18th. No one can blame
Mr.. Disraeli for the delay. The Queens
speech, on the occasion of the opening Of
Parliament is valuable only for the reason
that it indicates the outlines of the policy
which the men in power intend to pursue
On this occasion the royal address will reflect
the views of the new Cabinet and reveal their
plans Mr.. Disraei knows that it will be
keenly scrutinized, and wherever weak merc-
lessly exposed He does well, therefore, to
take time to mature his plans and to make the
speech from the throne worthy of himself and
of the occasion. Two new Cabinet appoint
ments are announced Sir William r. Sey-
mour Fitzgerald becomes Under Secretary of
State for India, and MI. Hart Dyke takes the
position Of Patronage Secretary of the
Treasury.

RAPID TRANSIT. At mass meeting of
citizens held last night at Cooper Institute
which is reported in another column, speeches
were made and resolutions passed endorsing
Mr.. Eastman's bill as calculated to insure
the speedy construction of railways that will
bring Harlem River within fifteen minutes of
the City Hall" This bill, it will be remem-
bered, provides for the appointment of COM
missioners to investigate various routes and
plans, and in that direction is just what we
want; but the judgment of the people should
be taken as to whether the road shall be built
at public expense

INVESTIGATING CHARITY.-The Bureau of
Charities-the organization of which is re-
ported to-day-proposes to systematic on
large scale the dispensation of charity in this
city; and, SO far as can now be Judged of its
proposed activity, it promises to be an ad-
mirable institution. Its primary purpose is
to secure charity against the devices of inn
postors-the thieving vagabonds who cheat
the charitable and rob the needy by seizing
themselves the gifts of benevolence. Any
organization that will thoroughly guard
against these will do wonders. This Bureau
seems also disposed to guard against the other
class of persons who equally defeat the pur-
poses of the benevolent by taking what is
supposed to pass through their hands for the
poor and appropriating it to themselves in the
form of salaries, &c.-persons who,
speaker at the meeting thought, should be in
Sing Sing. Altogether, good ideas seem to
prevail in the foundation of this society, and
we hope it will not become the mere machine

despatch from our London correspondent,
who sends the report of Mr.. Archibald
Forbes. who was sent TO India as
Mr. Forbes. al our readers well
know, distinguished himself during the
French war as an enterprising and gifted
correspondent, with unusual powers of obser-
walton and felicity Of expression and thought
Mr.. Forbes is unusually competent for this
work. and his report possesses painful
interest He has visited the distressed dis
tricts in person. and only 'hopes that famine
may be averted" There are fifteen districts
comprising population Of 26,000,000 of peo-
pie, who are threatened with actual famine
or scarcity of food. In addition there are dis
tricts numbering $4,000, ,OOO for whom grave
apprehensions exist In other words, terri
tory containing as many people as are IN
France, or Austria, or America is menaced
with starvation These districts are mostly
without roads and without water As there is
no work in the rice fields, the laboring men
labor and its wages Lord Northbrook, the
Governor General, hopes that he has food
stored away sufficient to last until May; but
Mr.. Forbes reports that many have already
died without asking relief while in these
remote sections food is needed for cattle as
well as for human beings
"On the whole" says Mr.. Forbes, 81 enter
tain most depressing conviction of coming
calamity" Let US trust that the rulers of
India may avert it But it is painful and
suggestive thought that at the time when We
are afflicted at home with misery and want
an affliction thousand times more terrible
is impending over millions of fellow human
beings on the other side of the globe.
