Thursday Moruing, June 22, Ift?b. , morals of Sorrow. " But for the sorrows of the heart, where would the affections find their strength? Our virtues, like the aromatic shrubs of the forest, only give out their sweets when their leaves are bruised and trampled. He who lias not felt of sorrow, may be scarcely said to have known love, since the most precious joys of the soul arise from sym? pathies that are seldom known till they atc sought, and neve;-sought till they are necessary to soothe an. infirmity or satisfy a need. Economy cf Time. The best key to success is the provi? dence of time. After all, the most valua? ble of our human possessions is time, since that is always limited lu duration. It fol? lows that he who is the best economist of this possession, has the largest, capital for business of any of bis competitors. But time, of course, implies hearth, strength, courage, resolution, temperance-without which, perhaps, there can be no economy in anything. DOMESTIC MAGNANIMITY.-Magnanimity it, perhaps, more important as a domestic virtue than in any other relation. If the love, supposed to be the -permeating es? sence pervading the domestic circle, has not learned promptly to forgive, it has failed to acquire the very first lesson upon which depends the securities of household happiness. A. despatch to the New York Herald. dated. Washington, June ll, says: "It is understood that the President has deter? mined to appoint Judge Sharkey as Provi? sional Governor of Mississippi. Judge Sharkey has been her? for several days past with the delegation from Mississippi in consultation with the President in re? ference to the reconstruction of thc State Government, and is understood to have been a Union man -throughout the rebel? lion." An amateur concert in Charleston .brought forth a Miss McNetty, who achieved a decided success in singing, but j was, according to the Courier, "at tintes a little low." We trust that she will be duly leavened b}- the criticism, and ri*e to the proper attitude. Mr. Scott's Lord Lovell and tim "Star Spangled Banner" brought down the house. Mr. O'Neale "presided nt the piano with his accustomed ele? gance, while Mrs. B. and Mr. B." (why will excellence still shroud itself in hash fulness?) "lent additional charms to the recherche entertainment." - '.. -'?- i The Americau Israelites met in Conven? tion, on the 11th ?usU, at the Thirty-fourth Street Synagogue. Representatives were present from most of the Congregations of the country. Reports were read and officers elected, but we are not advised as to the special objects of the Convention. The meetings were continued. Mrs. Sigourney, a well known female author, of Connecticut, died recently at Hartford, Connecticut, in her seventy fifth year. She had published some fifty volumes, and survived them all. The San Francisco Svenina Bulletin is informed that Henry S. Foote, Tate rebel Senator, ia on his way overland to Cali? fornia, accompanied by his sou-iu law, Senator Stewart, of Nevada. AN-OTHEK BATCH OF BOOTH'S PAPERS FOUND.-The Quebec Mercury, ot June 6, say? In virtue ot a commission of inspec? tion obtained from the Vice Admiralty Court by Mr. Dunbar, on behalf of the United States Consul at Quebec, the De? puty Marshal of that Court, Mr. Parkin, Jr , brought to town to-day, from below Bic; three trunks belonging to J. Wilkes Booth, the assassin of Mr. Lincoln. These trunks were shipped at Montreal, last fall, for Nassau, and destined for Richmond; but the schooner on board ol which they were, having been wrecked, they were token to Bic by the salvors. The result ol the inspection is, we are told, that th? trunks contain a verj' costly and extensiv? theatrical wardrobe almost totally de? stroyed by salt water. There age also soma papers, letters, ?fcc,.of Booth's; bul as to their importance we have no m foe mation. , A despatch to the Boston Advertiser, dated \V*ohiiiglon, June 8, says G-enera! Cunby has, hy orders from Secretary Stan ton, hunted out and arrested the manwhc offered last winter, ic an Alabama paper to be one of a certain number of personi to pay a million dollars fer the murder o Mr. Lincoln, and he is on bis way, undei -runrd, to Washington. * Council Proceedings. COUNCIL CBAMBRR,? COUJ?BIA, June 20, 1866. Present-His Honor the Moy or; Alder_ men Bates, Gin*?, Guignard, Harris, Hop?t Leaphart, Stork and Wells. Alderman Fisher, elect frtem Ward No. 3, appeared, was qualified and took hit seat. The minutes of the last meeting were' read and confirmed. The application of Jacob Levin for auc? tioneer's license, was granted. Licenses to retail spirituous liquors for six months were granted to bryant, Bailey, Nathan Macfie and Alexander Riley. On motion of Alderman Mope, it was ordered that the Mayor be authorized to pay oor agent. Mr. Hobson, the sum of $.200, for four mouths services as purchas? ing agent for the city. Th? resignation of Alderman Glass, of Ward No. 3, was accepted, and un election to fill the vacancy ordered to ba held at Dr. Geiger's office, on Monday, the 3d day of July next Managers-A. R? Phillips, A. D. hutt and A. L. Solomon. The account of lt. W. Johnson, for work done for the Hook and Ladder Company, forsix dollars, was ordered to be paid. Council adjourned. A. G. BASKIN, City Clerk. Treatment of the South. The New York iYews writes a well-timed article upon this theme, and closes as fol? lows: Would to God this question were left to the soldiers of the Federal armies to settle! Would they be willing to avow that they were all these four years not fighting sn honorable foe, but exterminating a gang of scoundrel brigands-that they were not a graud army arrayed against another grand army, in the decision of a grand quarrel, but only a sheriff's poste comifatus called out to capture highwaymen? Such a theory of the war debases both sid*'s. Let no man say we are crying out for mercy to rebels. Call them rebels if you will; but what we demand for them is not mercy-, it is justice-justice to ourselves as well as to them. We would save the nstion from a foul blot, which, if it stains its escutcheon withal in an.excess of pas? sion, ?ur children's children will wish to blot out thnt page of their history. And there are in this matter high con? sid?rations of policy, as well as of honor and justice. What is the reason, now the . war is over, the Government papor falls in virtui? ls it not because the policy which seems now to be settled upon out Administration threatens to render the South for a long while miserable, disaf? fected and dangerous? If the people of that eountry, after frankly submitting to the arbitrament of fate, anti yielding -to the authority of the National Government-, are still to be held as outlaws in their own States; if their late head and chief, as representing the whole Confederacy, \a to be ignominiously .tried like a garroter, so as to make them all feel themsulves de? graded and branded in his own person; if a high-spirited people are to be goaded and tortured by every moat ingenious and intolerable humiliation; then what chance ia there that those fertile Mates will soon resume the peaceful ways of progress, and bring contentedly th?ir full contribution as before to the general nut ional wealth and power? If we are not to have peace and good will after all; if the struggle of arms is to be succeeded by n long agony of political proscriptions and prosecution?, by black lists, and informers, and confisca? tions aa in Poland, and packed juries a* in Ireland, why the sooner prudent men get rid of their greenbacks, and quit the country, shaking the dust off their feet, the better for them.. We say nothing about the nssassins of President Lincoln. We take no interest in assassins. An assassin, or an accom? plice of assassins, or suborner of assasina lion, if convicted, ought to suffer the [lenalty due to his crimes. If Mr. Davis timself could be proven?guilty of compli? city in such a business", we admit that from a political chief and banner bearer of a nation, he sinks into the common cut throat; and in that cuse, away with him. Show him no mercy. But in the name of common sense, do not seek to put a whole nation in the criminal's dock iu the person of its chosen chief. ANOTHER HEBEL "INNOCENT."-To the. Editor of the Montreal Gazette: 1 desire through, your columns to denounce and will prove the testimony of one Sanford Conover, alias James Watson Wallace, in relation to myself before?the military court now sitting at Washington city, as wilful? perjury in every .particular. The only distinct recollection I have of this fellow is that a gentleman asked and obtained from me a small amount of money as charity to him and his wife, who were represented as distressed Southerners. WM. H. CARROLL. MONTUEAL, June"7, 1855.
