We have known- Mrs. Ryan from childhood,
mal she is well known as .a no-lest, industri
>us laty of good character and the strictest a
roprlety.
}Ryan was promptly arrested, hut we have B
io idea he will be.imsprisoned or held under y
rrest longer than the magistrates can hear
he evidence in the case. In our opinion, any b
nan who attempts to insult or wrong an ab
tent soldier's wife deserves no syntpathy if he
be shot down, and we. have no word of cen- I
mre against a husband who thus vindicates
the character of a virtuous wife, and resents
his own wrongs.
P. S.-Snce writing the foregoing, we are
informed-that Mr.-ityan, upon learning the
fact of the attempted outrage upon his wife, 3
made application for a furl.mugh to come home,
nut stating, howrever, the true reason for t
wbich he wished to come. Not giving a sat
istactory reason to- his commander, he~ was
refused a furiough. He thin came off with
nut it. When he arrived here on the morn
ing train, he did not even visit his wife till
he had first searched out the man who had
offered her the grave insult. When be walk
ed into Lawehe &% Purten's and inquired for
Cilly, who answered the call of his name, he
discharged two pistol shots at hin-one tak
in effect in the arm and the other the back
of the head. Ryan the said that be had
done all that he came to do, and was ready
to go back to his command. We learn that
our Provost Marshal, Col. Lee, is perfectly
willing to send him back to Major Leyden
alone, without any arrest or censure. We
hope that when he returns his officers will
not prefer any charges against him. but let
him return to, his pet, as though he had nev
er left it. The honor and chastity of a man's
wife is the moist sacred thing on all this broad,
gr-era ear:h, an attempt to destroy which is
the gr-atest outrage th.it the mind of man
is cp-ible of conceiving.-Atlanta Confede

The Election.
Our Congressional Represent-tive is eleeted to
day; and although the return is not yet wade out,
we can safety say that Hon. -W. D. Sisrsox, of
Laurens, is the choice of the 4th Congressional
District. We mean ne disparagement to other
Candidates who have run the race through ; COl.
Sixrsom hal advantages In several respects which
they could not eountervail. For one, we believe
the selection a goed one and will result in bensofit
to the public interests. We are glad, too, that
g.l.t.e'd has yielded to anotler part of the Cen.
gressional District in this businens. It was right
ti at Laurens should have her opportunity at length
in the Geld of Congressional iegislation. and we
believe she has put forward aRepresentative who
will make himself felt in the history of the times.
We goes from the gonparatively quiet political
Coterie of the State Senate with the best wishes of
many friends.

to stupenld.us efforts made aguiust us in the west,
ad achieviug at all points new glory and new
mown for the Confederacy. We make an extract
.m this portion of the Message which (it will
e seen) closes with the agreeable suggestion that
is will probably he the last year of the war:
"A review of our history of the two years of
er national existence affords ample cause for
engratulation and demands the most fervent ex
ression of our thankfulness- to the Almighty
lather who has blessed our cause. We are justi
ed in asserting, with a pride, surely not unbe
uming, that these Confederate Statee have added
nother to the lessons taught by history for the
structien of man; that they have afforded an
ther example of the impouibi:lty of subjugating

our resources for defence; and by the continued
exhibition of the sawe unfaltering courage in out

expect that this will be the c'osing year of the
war."
3. Ti.e President goes somewhat into det:ail in re.
spet to our fureigu relations, and argues that
the great European Powers (more particularly
England and Franee) have acted erroneously and
inconsistently in delaying to recognise the South.

operated great injustice and wrong to ;.:r utausa
He makes the following allusions to one of thi
hrdships thus visited upon us:
"At the inception of hostilities, the inhabitantl
of the Confederacy were almost exclusively agri
ulturists, those of the United States, to a grea
extent, mechanies and mor..tants. We had no
commercial marine; while their merehant vessels
covered the ocean. We were without a navy
while they hatl powerful fleets. The advantay4

some measure by the exposure af their commero,
to attack by private armed vessela., It was knowa
to Euripe that within a very few years past the

. The President next diseusses the qnestion of

skw that the European governments have vir
.ally repudiated theIr eo declared pirinclelJes ofI
ahim law, as enaneinted by the Congress of Par-I

British authorities in this saatter, lHe emn

" In a published deospatch from her Majsty's

4. The President. gives his reason as follows for
for nat having lroached this sul-joct in previous
" I have hitherto refrained from calling to your
attention this condlition cif -our relations with for
eign poaworA f..r various reasons-the chief: of
these was the fear that a statetaent of aur just
grounds of complaint against a course of poliey
su injurious to our interests mnight be miscon-.
strued into an appeal for aid. Unequal as we
were, in mere numbers and available resources. to
our enemaieP, we were conscious of powers of re.
sietanaes, in relation to which Europe was incredae
Tous, and our remonstrances were therefore pecu
liarly liable to-be misunderstool. Proudly self
reliant, the Confederacy knowing fall well the
character of the eontest into which it was foreed,
with full trust in the superior qualities of its popu
lation, the superior valor of its soldiers, the su
perior skill of its Generule, and aboia all in the
justice '.f its cause. felt no need to appeal for the
maintaintnee of its rights to other earthly aids,
and it began and has continued this struggle with
the calm confidence ever inspired in those who
with consciousness of right can invoke the Divine
blessing on their cause. This confidence has been
so assured that we have never yielded to despon
dency under defeat, nor do we feel undue ei.ition
at the present brighter prospect of successful is
sue ti our contest. It Is therefore because our
just grounds of complaint can no longer be misin
terpreted that I lay them clearly before you. It
seems to me now proper togiveyou the information,
and although no Immediate results may be attain
ad, it is well that truth should be preserved and
recorded. It Is well that those who are to follow
us should understand the full nature and charac
tar of the tremendous enflict in which the blood
of our people has been poured out like water, and
in which they have res.ted unaided the shuck of
hosts which would have sctfieed to overthrou
many of the powers which hy their hesitation is
according our rights as an independent nation im
ply douibt of our ability to maintain our nati-mna
existes ce.'
5. In reference to thy cruel. and disgracefe
manner in which the rer has been prosecuted bj
certain Abolition (jeneraels, the President says:
"It is.my painful duty again to inform you u

but wha, cannot be held wholly guiltless while psr
siting their centinuance without aglfft at re
ressian."
-d. The President next takes hold of A&hrshams
Lincoln's late proclamation in regard te seraery
and holds it up as evidenee or the impotent rage
of the vile desputism at Washington. Speaking
t its pus able exncatiwn ,nakin the threatened
States, he says :

7. Presialsut Dais evidently hope.s much from
the efla't of tW'a A bolition demonstration uapom
the nuitions of Christendom. Oft its elsee upon
usr own peiple, he thus speak.:
