Our este-ned ecn empor: r'es of the Atlanta Jntelligenrer and Columbus En guirer nite in an acknowledgment of General Grant's friendliness of feeliag toward the South. From certain most. reliable information, lately put in our possession, we are induced to believe this kindly disposition has not been overrated, and, in that impression, ton. der to the Lieutenant General our own sense of his humane and upright hear. ing. To his inflenco it is, we learn, that General Lee was not, by the base machinations of radical tricksters, made the victim of a ihate as cowardly as it is grent. At. the first whisper of an intent to annoy that-gallant gentleman by pro. ceedings in utter derogation of his pa role, General Grant, we are informed, ntonoe stated that were scich atrocity committed. lie would forthwith throw up *eti hsloi thht could not then longer be retained without some degree of miilitrry dishonor. Though the person of their General "ommanding the pledg. 4-d faith of these United States would, by se wilful a perfidy, have been griev. 'ously broken and, though a past uncom prorig enemy of that successful Cap. tai, we now take a special pleasure in 'recording this bur present testimony to h1is soldierly good faith.. It. wa said by one of our contempora. -ries ahove allided to that hardly doe justice was rendered General Grant by the people of the South but we know this mention-based on such irrefragi ble evidence-of his honest demeanour vill go far to correct any deficiency in -the rendition of honor where honor is <dne. Besides the case of General Lee, venerable et clarissinum nonei, it is also stated to us that, by a like course of ac tion on the part of the Lieutenant Gene. Xal, Admiral Sermmes was released from captivity and the Hon. Clement C. Clay restored to the eupplications of a most amiable and devoted wife. "Gen. Grant"-)ays our informant, whose name, might we tmention it, would be recognized at once as that of a distin. guished GeOrgia patriot and stateiman -is not disposed to oppress the South; hn the coutrary he is striving t.o lighten her burden." For such generons inten tion-an intention that bears for us a mweet frui:ion already-the hero of the innth insay rest' assured he will be held by hi people in kindly esteem. More, .we know, he would not expmect, for our hiearts are with that past in which so jnany o our dearest fell before his le gions, this 'at Insat-a meed prompted tfgtice ihd fedordedl in al smncenty-h a agggfideutly rely.

Mati.rl-ms7n A Call for Negro Juries to Try White Men for Treason. Said the New York World, in die cussing the question of the trial of South. ern leaders for treason: Death is, to be sure, the penalty of treason ; but then it can be inflicted only after legal trial and judicial sen. tenco. Traitors must be tried by a jury of the State and district where the crime was comiDitted; and, as the whole peo. plo were in the rebellion, the jury would consist of persons who were themselves to be tried f-pr the same offence-who were, in fact, accomplices in the crime. The Government could have gone through the farce of such trials had it chosen ; but, assuredly. it had no aut,hori. ty to punish for treason previous to trial. By the humane principles of the law, every man is to be held innocent till lie is proved guilty, and the Constitution forbids his being put in jeopardy of life or limb twice for t he same offence. To whih the Ytibutn thus responds: The 1W"Orld must be again reminded that "the whole people" of the South were not in the rebellion-not by at least four millions. Of these loval mil. lions, juries might easily be procured who would hear every case impartially, and render verdiets in strict %ccordance with the law and evidence. Which meanq that out of the "four million" of loyalists-by whom the Tri. hune means the Southern negroes juries shoild be selected for the trial of Jefferson Davis, A. H1. Stephenq, and the other Southern leaders. We be lieve this a step farther in Radicalism than the Tribune ever vent-uired before. That journal persistenly ad vocates the extension of elective franchise to negroes, but to propose their selection as jury men on pending treason trials, is some. thing we didn't anticipate, even from the 21-ibune -Charleston .News. The Progress of Art. No chanige has been made in the form of plough used in Sicily since the time of -the Rouians. The third attempt to lay the Atlantic cable looks well. All the stock taken up, and nineteen miles of cable mann. factured daily. Whisky was made from cotton seed in some of the Southern States during the war. The French ordinance committee, have decided that. the breech loading cannon are failures for throwing heavy shot. A ball casting machine has been con structed in Berlin, for the Tycoon. It is capable of manufacturing 12,000 rifle balls per day. Port Republic, near Staunton, Va., promises to be one of the first nianufac. turing towns in the State. It has now three iron foundries in full blast; anoth. er is projected, and a large flour mill is about to be built. A. company has orgnized in Louisville, Ky., for the manufactre of linen by new improvements in machinery, &c., by which it is claimed that linen can be made far cheaper that in Ireland. Our exchanges, noticing the modern manufacture of collars, ouffs, twine, ruf. flea, socks, &c., out of paper, and the proposed paper shirts, are quite enthusi astic over the inventive genius of the universal Yankee nation, But they have forgctte'n that otheri natios 'ueu, us in paper manufacture. The Japanese make even the walls ot their homes en tirely out of paper. Charleston is to be supplied with wa. ter from lie Edisto River. A entral park is also in contemplation.

An eccentric individual went to one of our news depots, a few. days ago, and called for copies of the *forld, the Flesh and the Devil. On being asked by the news-dealer to be more explicit, he said he wanted the World, Herald and For. ney's Chronicle. The Iowa Legislature has passed a joint resolution amending their State Constitution by extending the right of suffrage to the colored people. In Michigan, at the rocen, local elec tions, the colored people voted for the first time, having recently been admitted to the right of suffrage. MoNTANA.-This new: territory con tains about 160,000 sq*fare miles; that is to say, it is nearly four times as large as the State of New York. It is bound. ed on the west by Idah1 on the south and east by Dakotah, and on the north by the British possessioni. The Paris correspondence of the New Orleans Picayune thus bpeaks of the French Emperor's heir . "He speaks already English. Germai and French ; lie is thoroughly drilled as a soldier; lie is well trained in the gymnasium; rides, fences, swims and rows v#ll ; he is mak ing good progress in Gr , Latin and the mathematics; lie is tolerable shot with the fowling piece ") His father wisely pays particular ai6nton to the education of the body, *hic!h assres that first of earthly Xe ngs, health, which is no inconsider tp towards the possession of tale How -To Disross or MUTTLATRD CUn imxuy.-A great many persons are at a loss to know how to dispose of ragged and mutilated currency that accumulates on their hands. It is the easiest in the world, and without any expense. When you get three dollars worth on hand, put it in a small package, pin a paper hand around it with your name, post office address and amount ; then put it in an envelope and address it to the "Tress. iry of the United States, Washington, D. C." In a few days you will receive new currency in roturn. It goes and comes free of postage. FrasT NATIONAL BANK.-The Co lumbia Plicenix of yesterday says; "We are glad to learn that the First National Bank of Columbia was organized in this city on yesterday. The following gen ilemen were elected as Directors: Col. John S. Preston, I. D. Childs, E. J. Arthur. J. G. Gibhes, J. P. Southern, C. 11. Baldwin and 0. Waring. 'The institution is expected togo into operation at an early day, and we learn tlint Col. Preston leaves this morning for Washington to complete the arrange ments for the immediate opening of the bank. We have no doubt but this bank will be a great accommodation to the community, and the names of the direc. tors are a sufficieut guarantee to insure success." T a'*:r.

A voung married woman was being burea in Indianapolis, when the body was found to be.warm, and she finally came back to life. A Portland steamer was found to be going astray, on a recent trip from Boa. ton, owing to deviations of her com pass. The deviation it was also found, was caused by the steel hoop skirt of a young lady who was in the pilot house. and on her retiring the compass resumed its proper position. An English farmer has a newly-born lamb with seven perfect leg-, upon any four of which it can walk with ease. A CHALIC MINE IN NORTH CAROI. NA.-'-1r. Marberry, of Davidson Coun. ty, North Carclina, has discovered a chalk mine, very rich, on his land near the.Mineral Springs. M. C. Robin announces, in a paper read before the French Academy of Sciences, that, after surmounting great difficnties, ho has discovered that the ray is an electric fish, although less so than the several species of the torpedo. A Miss Adams, of Danville, Va., a mature damsel of sixty-eight., is cutting her fourth set of teeth. Near Reese River. in California, there is alt isolated Mountain, about 500 feet high, whose surface onl all sides, from summit to base, is covered with agates. Upon digging into the soil they are found lake potatoes in a hill. They are oval in shape, and from one to four in. ches in diameter. The Santa Crus Cal., &ntinal repo to that there was recently discovered in the forest which lies some seven miles north of the town, a large board box, six feet long and four wide, lined with tin. On opening the box it was found to be closely packed with fine clothes, axes, picks, pans, kettle-, &c. The shirts had gold buttons with brass set tings, so corroded that the gold rims came off at the slightest touch, and the clothes turned to dust after a few hours' exposure to the air, so long had they been deposited. There were also Span ish spurs, gold-plated, which were so rusted as to destroy much of the plat ing. ENoRMOUS SPIDEn.-A sudden pan ic fell upon the worshippers, on Easter Sunday, in a)arge church at Lisbon. An enormous spider was suddenly seett to descend to an ancient web that is said to have existed for many years.

When Arachne was captured she was found to he with legs extended nearly five feet long. She weighed six pounds. A recent issue of the Montana Radia tor has anl account of an important dis covery made in that section. It says: "The evidence adducpd two weeks ago as to the existance, at same far off peri od of the past, of an antediluvian beast of monstrous proportions, by thw discove ry of a molar or jaw tooth in tho claim of Dr. Fales in Last Chance Gulch, op posite the end of Broad street, has re ceived further confirmation by the dis covery ofan ivory tusk, in a somewhat docomposed state. about 15 feet in lenght.
