To our LeSislatOrs-State ana Caay.

Over the door of room in founding
ASYLUM in Paris, in which there are many
little babies, is the verse, When my father
and mother forsake me then the Lord will
take meup." trust that through you this
verse may be realized to many young friend
less and homeless ones in our State. The
idea Of reform is now prominent IN the
minds of all earnest and thoughtful persons
brought in contact with prisoners. HOW
little do those within and without prison.
walls know one another. One class-the CO.
lored- particularly commend themselves 10
your care, because they are SO poor and so
nitiably helpless from lack of knowledge 10
care for themselves. They make more than
two-tbirds of our prisoners, and on inquiry
YOU will find that they go to the penltentiary
for crimes that are small indeed. l learn this
from the officers at our penltentary. Ihls
is the fault Of our criminal laws.
During the war very i'll soldiers from the
hospitals were often put in tents in the street.
The verse "Is it nothing to you, all ye that
mass by?" seemed always mutely spoken.
One of these, q gangrene patient, whom It
was my lot to visit and care for, recovered
when considered past hope. SIS it nothing
to you, all ye that pass by?" is the silent
language of our prison walls. "Prisons are
moral hospitals" says Governor Seymour.
Often bad characters can become good char
acters if we do our part towards their re.
formation. | doubt whether many of our
prisoners really know what selt-re>pect
means. AS regards our criminals, we have
all sinned in not trying to arrest their down.
ward progress.
Good actors have the ability to dramat'Zs
themselves into the very person they repre-
sent. Would it were possible for you 10 be-
come again children. To he able to lesislate
upon the wants of people requires SYM
patty with the people; Il setting aside OF sell,
and personifying reaIiz ltion Of their need.
Think of a wild, hayward child or youth
perhaps good and genial-homeless, or with
out good home misunderstanding nothing
of the rights of property-in poverty, want,
and temptation-a criminal, Il convict, IN prl-
son walls-the bare walis--the loneliness,
the utter desoatiou, the tears, the sos, the
grief unechoed in human breast-the long, te-
dioIs hours-the crouchipg in the corners OF
the cel-the beating of the head against its
wals-the agony of soul in which its youth
dies out-doomed to a speeches. inner lie,
with never ripple Of sunshine or gladneSs.
Prison life, with its confinement, its bare ne
CT sSites, its isolation from helrt.tles ana Mes
sympathies, is hard for old criminals. What
must it befor the young: -.
"Siek and in prison, and ye visited me-"
is one of the test questions of eternity.
"Am | my brothers keeper?' are the
words of the first murderer. Let them not
indicate our spirit. l trust Gods holy spirit
is moving in your hearts to care for all pri'
soners. To the boys, to the young, you are

General Sherman-Again.


Editors of the DiSpatch,-1 omitted to
state in the letter about Sherman, published
in your paper this morning. that The honor
of checking and turning back the naval por-
ton of the Deer creek expedition is fairly
due to very brave and clever ofticer-CoIo-
mel SIM. Ferguson, cf South Carolina, now
of Greenville, Mississippi.
He had some light artillery (eight glns)
and a squadron Of cavalry. which | rein
forced with a battalion of about 250 rifle
men, under Colonel Bridges, just in time
TO meet Porter with his five gunboats Gron-
clad) before he could enter from Deer creek
into the Sunflowcr river. For several days
Ferguson caused this fleet to back do.cn
Deer creek. They could not turn around in
the creck-it was too narrow. They closed
their ports, kept out from the banks to pre-
vent being boarded, and during the day made
no progress, because every man on them who
showed himself was shot at. One day, it IS
said, all hands except an engineer abandoned
one Of these boats. At night they would re-
sumo their backward movement down the
creek until Sherman with his corps came
up with them, aud all together then fastened
out of that country. Ferguson reported to
me the capture of several Qen) OF their row.
boats, including Admiral Porter's gig with
his ensign. This gig was sent down 10 me
at Vicksburg, and our army afterwards Used
| it to send flags of truce 10 Grant or Porter
! when occasion offered.
! | think you are mistaken in attributlng
craftsmanship to Sherman ia his terms OF
surrender granted to Johnston.
Whatever Of states manship those terms
evinced was born of Breckenridge and OF
Johnston. Sherman in those negotiations
was ooermatched, and be knew it. He was
treating with two of the ablest men on the
continent. Johnston bad much Influence
over him; increased just before that treaty
by the battle OF Bentonville, in which John
ston had defeated part Of Sherman's army.
We can well understand how tempt
ing a bait to Sherman was the
ecldt of receiving the surrender of the
most formidable army then remaining to the
Contederacy-of ending the war, in fact, -
and OF placing himself before the southern
people in q light favorable for his future asp
rations, which may have reached even to the
Presidency Of the United States.
Sherman is far more able as a politician
than he is as soldier; but never can he rise
| to the height of statesman.
Truly yours, DABSEy II. MAuRY.

but gives the credit Of it to Breckenridge
and Johnston. We shall not complain O.

The REPORTS on the South,

The reports OF the committees OF Congress
on the state OF affairs in the South are a
thorough vindic stion of the humanity and
governing capacity Of the white people of the
South. The great crime Of the northern
congressman was their assumption that
southern whites had been cruel and bar
barous. The assumption was false, as they
knew IN their own hearts. To argue that
they did not know that 10 all the virtues Of
civilization the white people Of the South
were their equals (and, as we know, their
superiors) would be to assume that they
were as ignorant as they were malignant.
But it suited their party purposes to assume
that the southern whites were cruel and bar.
barous, and they had not enough honesty
and conscientiousness 10 their yindlctiye
hearts to restrain them from the outrageous
assumption.
The congressional committees have made
their reports. They viudicats the South
from the aspersions Of northern men, and
yet for the sake of preserving their vicious
marty organization, the majority of both the
Alabama and Louisiana committees assert
propositions utterly at war with their own
Information. sBut can the nation be induced
upon the information they give to take steps
which outrage the Constitution and degrade
the white race which has saved the coun.
try-in the South at least-from utter ruin
and anarchy.
As we have often said, the North must dis.
pose Of the question. 1t is one of the most
lamentable Of things that the questions of.
fectipg southern society and negro capacities
are left to the North to decide. There the
negro Is In numbers SO small that no proper
opinion can be formed of him and bis rela.
tion to southern society. 1t is an indls-
pensable qualification of the judge that he
should be impartial and fully understand the
subject he has to decide upon. And yet
here we have an anomaly in human history
that the northern people, who are altogethex,
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS by want of inv
formation and incompetent from prejudice
and fanaticism-are by the train OF circum-
stances placed in judgment over southern
society and over the white people of the
South, who are not in this day, nor were not
In any preceding age, excelled for their civil
customs and social virtues.
This is a terrible fact. This country will
appreciate it ere long. We are panied to think
that its appreciation will be learned In sor.
row and misfortune. But come it will, and |
abis nation has TO understand through its
agony the fearful consequences of surren.
deting It's Government to the control Of
combination Of fanatics and corrupt politi.
clans.

Agriculture and Commerce.

! Elsewhere we notice the amendment pro-
posed to the Constitution by the distinguish
ed member from Augusta-so unfavorable to
the cities. We hope that Virginia is now
ready to reject that and all anti-commerciaI
policies. What our people now want is large
commercial and manufacturing populations

gions of production close tillage; that the
farmer shall put his hands 10 his calling, SUI
pervi.e all the stages of production and sale,
and pocket bis rewards for his labor. He
wants variety of crops, quick sales, and sys.
tematic economy. Commerce is his sheet

Heretofore commerce has il Virginia stood
like poor man at frolic. She appears
>-cW as the dearest friend to agriculture.
&ese' oforc she has Jared as the step-cbild to

1t is time to change policies and treat COM
