A^ay?^' jfi;?On proper inctlioai recom
mendations the president has suspended tlie
order as?igniug Gem' Thomas to the .command
of tKo'Fifth District., Sheridan will remain
in command until relieved, probably by Gen.
Hancock.
August 2G.?The Johnson and Grant cor
respondence relative to Sheridan's removal, is
published this morning in the New York He
rald and' Boston Post.
The following is "White Ilonso gossip-?Sher
idan-.loaving j?e Fifth .Military District in
?barge,of HarisuiT will proceed to the West
and,relieve Hancock, who will then assume
permanent charge of tho Fifth District.
Grant's letter to the President concerning
Sheridan's removal says: "The pcopl-j . who
have sacrificed lives and spent dollars for the
country's, salvation arc entirely opposed to
Sheridan's removal. He has performed his
?duties faithfully and .intelligently, and his re
moval will he regarded as an effort to defeat
Congressional views, and will embolden to re
newed opposition those who have endeavoured
to break up the government by arms. Gen.
Thomas.lias repeatedly objected to being placed
in ohafgo^.of either of the five districts. Han
cock's department is intricate, and he should
not be removed." Grant adds that there are
military, pecuniary, and, above all, patriotic
reasons why this order should not be insisted
upon .'
The President replied, ;-I am not aware that
. the question of Sheridan's removal had been
submitted to the people. It would be unjust
to the army , to assume that. Sheridan alone is
capable of commanding the Fifth District.
Sheridan has rendered .himself obnoxious by
his manner of executing the law, and more by
his nssumiug authority not granted to him.
His rule has been one of absolute tyranny,
without reference to the principles of our gov
ernment., or the nature of free instituti- ns. His
course has seriously interfered with harmony
and the speedy execution of the acts of 'Con
gress. His removal cannot be regarded as in
tended to defeat thorn. The object of the
chaiigo is to facilitate their execution through
an officer who ha * never failed tor obey the
- statutes of the land, and who within his juris
diction will demand a like obedience from
others." ' The President compliments Thomas
and Hancock, and feels assured that under
General Shcrmnn's guidance, Sheridan trill
win honor fighting Trillions-. In conclusion, tho
President fails to perceive any military, pecu
niary or patriotic rcasoiiH(wby this order should
not be carried into effect.
August 27.?The President has assigned
Gen. Canby to the command of the Second
Military District, and Gen. Hancock to the
command of the Fifth Military District.
^uoust 2,7?P. M.?The breach between
the President, and Gen. Grant is widening.
Grant is on defiant terms in opposition to the
President's assignments. He protests with
SOtup indignation against the rcniovn) of Jlajj

Hiniiieker's Hritlge.
When a pnbiicnuismcc exists in a communi
ty, to the detrit'nent of its members, it should
be the duty of those ii fleeted, to institute some
means, to abate at least, and if possible, entire
ly correct the evil. Dinuieker'.s 13ridge as it
now stutula is nothing more nor less than a
public nuisance. This assertion is predicated
upon two facts ; first, that is a toll bridge.;
Rccon'd. that it is a dangerous bridge. This
bridge like most bridge* of the kind, has been
finished merely to subserve the purpose ofl its
erection, and without an eye to safety. Con
trary to the custom of toll bridges, its keep
er reijuircs loll both going and coming the
same day. which makes it very expensive to
persons who have 'much crossing to do. The
bridge cart be turned over to the Commission
ers of Or.mgehurg and Harnwell Districts,
just so soon as they will pay what it cost to
have it put up. Mr. Lafittc, however, the en
terprising ami generous constructor has proffer
ed to release his claim upon realizing one half
what it cost him to build it, which is about
three hundred dollars.
Will not the merchants of Graham's Turn
Out and Bamberg give their attention to this
matte '.nd recommend it to the Commission
ers 'i W think it will pay them.

the honor and interest of all the people, gave
expression to their confidence in the gentle

that so'm? light might be thrown on the subject.
Abblit two o'clock in the afternoon, the meet

people, was assembled, the llev. London Lau

were invited to their positions, aud in turn ad
dressed the meeting, receiving the utmost, at

A Freak of Melancholy.
r. % -ft
Fancy paints them over, and memory wan
ders back through the vista of the past to the
picture. My early associations have left their
imprints, ami the joys anil the sorrows of now
ami of then, pass in review before mc, and I
sigh for the days of Aui.1) Lano Synk. The
fast receding past, is gone, and dark clouds:
hang over the future, and veil it in mystic
gloom. Tho whole picture of my fancy is
changed. Time/with'his all-efmcmg* hand,
has worn away its superficial beauties, and re
vealed the hidden deformities beneath, and I,
even 7, stand in the shadows of his reflections.
I look immediately around me, and all is
changed. T stretch my gaze in the distance,
ami the undulating land-scape, upon which my
vision was want to feast in days gone by. is
shorn of iu* usual beauties. The majestic
pine, that waves above the summit of yon hill,
has lost its grandeur. The old oak, bacrcd
froui its charter associations, seems less impos
ing. The viminal willow droops in moic sol
emn stillness. The gurgling streamlet carries
with its crystal tide, sounds of sadness. Tho
delicate lily casts down its tender petals in re
flective silence. I cast my eyes over the hills
and valleys, and the scene is the same. I look
above me. and even the heavens appear less
beautiful. My evening strolls I have d if con
tinued. The gifted warbles, that chant and
chatter by day and by night, seem less melo
dious. All Nature is ?changed. My friends
do not greet mc with their usual grasp. Stran
j gcrs appear to pass mc with a stiff and formal
air of noiichnhnirc unknown or unpereieved in
former days. Even the servants do not speak
in the same tones of kindness. The hopes that
I once cherished have yielded to the pressure
of this settling gloom and are crushed beneath
its deadening weight. The bird of melancholy
has brooded his heavy wings over my soul, and
my thoughts follow in the wake of his utter
darkness.
??Alas, for Tiiy ]*.'"">r weary r.nd care-haunted bosom !
The spell of the spring-time arouse it no more:
The sun;.' in lie- ivildwodd. ibis (diceii in tin- Itln.-aorit,

Thomas and Christ Church Parishes.
Wednesday last, registration, by previous
announcement, was commenced in the Paris'.!
of St. Thomas, at tin* Urick Church, under
the superintendence of Messrs. I if. P. Smith, (a
Northern gentleman lately located here.) Jere
miah Vatcs and Aaron Logan! a frcednnn.
the Hoard of Registration. Abmil a thousand
colored men were present, one-fifth of whom
were armed with guns or muskets, and when
the books were opened, Mr. Smith, the Chair
man of the Hoard, made a brief address, ex
planatory of the Kecon.-truction Acts ami the
duties of the frccdnicu as good citizens in ex
ercising their rights under them and preser
ving tho peace. This was received with con
siderable and merited satisfaction, when some
of the. crowd requested his opinion as to the
rights of the planters with whom the}' had con
tracted for labor, to deduct from their wages
for the time during which thoy were absent
from work for tho purpose of being registered.
Mr. Smith made the proper response, but was
interrupted by bis colleague., tho colored man
Aaron Logan, who proceeded to harangue the
crowd, and in inflammatory language to declaim
against the right of white mc:: to prevent the
carrying of arms by irccdmcu. lie said, also,
that the planters should not interfere with tho
colored people in registering, nor deduct from
their wages, and that there was nothing in the
law, nor in General Sickles' orders to prevent
them from exercising their rights to the. fullest
extent. That now was the time when the
frccdmcn should show that they possessed
rights which they meant to maintain, and that
when an election took place they ought to vote
for white Radicals if they could he found, or
else to fill the offices by men of their own color.
That the native whites of the State. \?rc not
lohe trusted, and if permitted, would enact
laws operating against the black man. and.
therefore., black men should ho elected to make
laws for themselves.
lie continued in this strain, ami in language
calculated to excite the passions of the crowd,
until Mr. Smith, who bad vainly endeavored
to persuade him to desist, exercised his author
ity as Chairman of the Hoard, and adjourned
its session. It was hoped that this would
have prevented the difficulties which were im
miliont, huf such did not prove to he the case.
The Hoard adjourned to meet at the Mount
ploasaijt Poll, iii Cliri.st Church Parish, on
Monday.

similar to tho otjc dcliyprecl at the pojl in St
Thomas, and was agaiij interrupted by Logan
who was, if possible, more violent in his Inn
uuage. and seemingly jnoro disposed to engen
der strife. lie was, as on the former occasion
requested to desist, but declined so to do; am
My. Smith, to avoid trouble, closed the poll

went to ensure the preservation of ardor. The
poll was re-opened aud the frccdmefi invited to
come forward and register, but they declined to
do so unless there was a black wan sitting.oo
the Hoard, and demanded the release of Logarf.
Seeing that a number of them were armed as
on the day before, Major O'Brien explained to
them that they were violating t,lle express or
ders of Genera] Sickles, and commanded them
to surrender their weapons. They paid no at
tention whatever to his orders, and as lie was
not supported by a force sufficient to ensure
obedic'tcc, ho retired, unwilling to provoke .a
disturbance which he Was not in a position to
quell, and returning to the city, reported the
cohditiou of affairs-rto General Clitz. \ The
(Veodnieu afterwards dispersed, but not without
threats that they would burn the village if they
were not permitted to exercise such rights ?s
Logan had declared they were entitled to en
joy. We understand that General Clitz will
go to Mount Pleasant this morning, with a suf
ficient force to suppress any disorderly'conduct
which may occur amongst the freed men,1 who
doubtless will again assemble, and to arrest all
who appear armed on tho scene. It is devout
ly to be hoped that no difficulty will occur.?
