"We feel under many obligations to the ReT. W. E. Walters for the signal ability with whioh he presided over our editorial columns last week, during a brief*, abscenco from the monotony * of the senctum. The readers of the Intelligencer doubtless enjoyed the refreshing spirit and vigor of his articles. TTe learn that tho above named town was not burnt by tho raiders, as^rst reported. " Only the jdepo't and government buildings were Astroyed, bnt .the loss of government, 6tores ia said to be very hea\y. Tho raiders were a mongrel crew of blacks and whites. * - Our PoBtmustar. Friend McCarty, of the Elberton Star of the South, is informed that uponinquiry of ourworthy' Postmastor, we feel assured the fault complained of does not rest "with him. At the time specitied, the mails from this point to Elberton -direst were not carried, in consequence of the high wjjfcrs, .and it is possible' that some letters may - have been ?eat by way. of Ninety-Six and Augusta.. Is the explanation satisfactory ? j -:-?8?-.?? Frost ThiB section was visited on Sunday night by a alight frost,, indicting no damage to the prospects of a fruit crop, but perhaps destroying a few of the early vegetables. Captured. ? We have had the pleasure of meeting with Lieut Jost R. Towjsrs, of the 4th Gco. Batttalion Sharp ' Shooters, who was captured at Salisbury, N. C, on . the 13th instant, and eSfectod^his escape from the Yankees ou tho evening of the 15th. Lieut. T. in? formed us that there were, over 900 regular Con? federate soldiers and 260 galvanized Yanks cap? tured at Salisbury. ~Tiie glazed Yankees of course, declared anew their allegiance to ?nclc* Sam.? They had-been employed in* the local defences, at Salisbury, principally manniug the heavy artillery. Lieut. John L. - Humphreys,' of the 2d S.'C. Bi? nes, who was-?n route for his command in company with Li'eutiTofriiRS, was also captured, but was not jto fortuuate aa his companionj and is therefore in ho enemy's hands. The BiimwWWflrTSe** In to-.day's'iatue will be found some of the sor. rowful details connected with the gurrender of tho 'Army of -Northern Virginia. The event took place on Sunday the 9th instant, uear Appomattox Court House, Vii. Although aware of the severe test $0 which that gallant army was brought, after the evacuation of Richmond and Petersburg, we were not propared,for the final result.of those un? exampled triairand difficulties with wh?h the scattered remnant was forced to grapple. Our faith in the splendid material and morale, of that army, and entire.confidcnce in the skill and wis? dom of its grca/ leader, led us to believe that, with ?the assistance of an Almighty God, tbey vroitld ef? fect sn extrication from the numerous combina? tions of a boastful enemy. But, with tho -masses ' of tho S?utherr. people, we can now discover that too much reliaanee was;placed in the strength and courage of a"few veterans, whose.ranks-iiad been decimated upon every blood-stained field of the J)\d Dominion. They wero only human, and their Btrength was o " that same humanity. It was im? possible to defy, with the paucity of their :iumbers, ihe.opmbined forces of the enemy. Otherwise, the noble few who remained steadfast at their post,? true.to their country and its standard, as in the first hqnr the blood of their comrades baptized its folds?would never have lowered the proud ensign which had been bo long borne vict oriously in their ranks. If wo have relied too strongly upon the prowess of the "men and the ability of their leaders, then is this sad denoument to a brilliant record sent by the hand of an omnipotent Power, that wo may learn to bow ourselves meekly -^Toro Him, who - alone is entitled to the gratitude of a peoplo strug? gling to preserve their rights, liberties and free in B?t?tions. Tht> assistance of His strength has en? abled us" heretofore to defeat and discomfit the machinations of our enemies, and it ia a lamenta? ble fact, that we have been strangely remiss in acknoyrledging thf. Bourne fro'n. yliPTini? .fame our help, *?nd aavofcoon too prone to give tb? pmthm-j1 ? to mortals rather .than to an overruling Providence. Humanly speaking, however, there are some elern facts, connected, with our recent history - which should bring tho blush of shamo to mantle (ha cheeks of huudrcds, aye, thousands, in this Confederacy. The responsibility for the alarming desertion from Gen. Lee's army, in tho past sev? eral months, rests mainly upon tho people at home. True, a portion of the disaffection came from cer? tain measures of the administration; but for the most part, the despondency and dejection of tho people had bo become infused into tho minds of the Boldfers that many were induced to forsake-the Btarry-crossed banner because they were discount agod by the tuVwarm spirit of their kinsmen.? Da many instances, the croaking of the people had reached such an alarming crisis as to win the old? est and truest soldiers from their allegiance. And yet another cause for this increased deser? tion, might be found in the persistent and con? sistent opposition of certain distinguished civilians to the policy of the administration. We are not now and never have been, a blind adherent to the actions of President Davis, but we arc yefto bo convinced that the clamor raised against him has been productive of good results. On the contrary, the systematic disparagenrenf of the President, has olowly but sni^ly undermined the confidence ofc. the soldiers and th? peoplo, and the influence of the latter is the prime cause of nine-tenths of the desertion from the army. Without this abandon? ment of the field, by the horoes of so many hard -fougut battles, Richmond would not have fallen, andibat glorious army which has been humiliated before foemen unworih of their steel, would now Wlntsot and proudly, defiant as to the result. _ The Treasury Department.. It lau been Merald-cd to the world that tho Treasury Deparfmeothas been located at this place. We have-heard it said that this institution has be? come migi'a:ory, like .certain,other bureaus of the . Government, and may-pcrhaps 6ojourn for a sea? son in the more interior portion of the Strte, per? haps Kewberry. At any rate, we do not think that tho Department is of much use anywhere, as we understand that they arc entirely out of funds. -<p Gen. Hampton. We learn that in one of the recent enTalry' en gagem^ts irt North Carolina, Gen. Wade Hampton Was captured by the enemy. Immediately upon receipt of tho intelligence, Brig. Gen. T. M. Logan, with the 6th and Gth S. C. Cavalry, made a charge upsn the.troops who had just captured Hampton, -*nd rescued their gallant and well beloved chief from the clutches of an insolent toe. . A consid>rj abld*fight ensued, in which the majority of both Regiments Aaking the charge were captured, and tho noble, high-soulcd Louan was killed! It was only in our last issue that the promotion of Gen. Logan was made public, and it is our sad duly to chronicle to-dny his departure for the spi(it land. He entered the far-famed "Hampton Le? gion" as a private, and by gallantry, courage and devotion to the cause, wonjin honorable "wreath of glorjvand the rank of Brigadier General. For his old commander he freely gave his life, and his memory shall be embalmed amongst those who sacrificed their alHn defence of our liber?es^uHl and indejaaadnm ^?y**' '? The Bolton .Postmattor Again. In last week's issue reference was made by tht editor de jew to a communication received from tiie Postmaster at Belton, in regard to our complaint against the mauagemett of his oOicc. The P. M.'s lotter will be found elsewhere, and re can only, repeat that it is farthest from our intention to" clo him injustice. But the numerous instances which had been cited to our notice of subscribers failing to recive they; copies, compelled the publication 01 the complaint. Upon a personal comference with the Postmaster, who is represented bya deputy, we are satisfied that some of the instances brought, to our attention wer? groundless; but nevertheless we feel confident that the deputy is too sanguine of his infallibility, and that there was, on more than "one occasion, just cause for the accusation of neglect. As to the interest he has manifested in the extension of our circulation, and his attempt to prove by analogy that " Caesar ca:o do no wrong," we have nothing to i eply. Verlsum tap* 9 ' -?<? 'For the Intelligencer. Mb. Emtoe: The.announcement in your paper Of the 6th*inst., that I designed writiug a series of articles upon the "Conscript System," imposed upon mo an obligation I am reluctant to assume, not only on account of the hopelessness of accoai plishiug any real good by tho task, but because series of articles upon such a subject would not be read with any interest by your subscribers. To meet your expectations, and with a sincere desire, to do all I can for the cause of my country, I am willing, however, to contribute some further views in reference to the duties of those entrusted with tho business of conscription. Without, intending any reflection upon the purity of the motives ot this class of officers, who need the moral support of the whole country, I am satisfied that these du? ties are not being performed, ia many iuetancea, with that vigor which the_c_xigA?"'?? ??f '.^ ?*** ? jemand. "Let. us taue an instance as an illuetrs. ton of-my meaning. Everyone is familiar with he classifications of tho arms-bearing men of the rountry, undor the Act of Congress, 17th February, ;86-l, and it is as well known that every ablc jodied man between the ages of 18 aud 45 is du* o the regular Confederate pen-ice, unless ho hw; >een detailed according to the regulations pre icribed by the .Secretary of War. These details' ire for short .periods of time", and upon the condi ion that the party so favored by the Government.' ;an make hiniBelf more useful at home than ho :an be with tho army in the field. These detailed: nen were organized by proper authority into com. panics and Regiments to assist the Reserves it; State defence, but cve^r man between the ages o:f 18 and 45 is only entitled to remain with such de .ailed organization bo long as the War Departmen. sees proper to renew his detail. The-details to this class of persons were at first numerous, but a:> the, exigencies ?f the service required, they wer? reduced by refusing a rencvral, and the parties or? dered to the front. And yet, if these "compauieil were subjected to a clost inspection, the number of able-bodied men between the ages of 18 aud 45 who would be found in them, uot withstanding a revocation of "their details, would be astonishing. Thus while Congross has taxed the population ol the country to the utmost limits of its capacity to bear arms, aro the very men it designed for activi field duty being absorbed by commands with which they have no rightful connection. There can be no doubt that iu every instance in which this has occurred that the objects and spirit of tho law above referred to have been defeated. The ranks of our armies in the field havc*bccome too much decimated to bear the brunt of this unequal con? test, unless they are replenished, and therefore it is a matter of importance to enforce the law with rigor, while we have the means of adding ts their strength. There iB only one other to which I shall refer hi this connection, and it is the abuse of_jecaivilLit descrters into.the ranks of-these dotaik-d com? panies. It is an indulgence expressly lorbidifea by the orders of the Adjutant General of the Con ferate States, aud has becu productive of no. little mischief by holding out inducements to desertion. Tr ere is nothing 60 discourugfug to the soldier in ihs field, who is faithfully pcrlorming his dutiea, as to know .that deserters from his own ranks aie permitted to remain at home in perfect security. They have been promised a remission of the pun? ishment due the crimo they have committed, and it .their duty to return at once to the ranks they havo forsaken. The pardon has been offered, and they should be given the chance of accepting or refus? ing it. Tho disintegration going' on by desertion is a source of greater danger to our cause than any other. It is an evil that must be met and remedied; if we desire to preserve our liberties. The alter? natives before us are independence, or slavery and chains. I am satisfied if the great masses of out people understood the true import of subjugation that they never could bo induced to lay down" their ariua. I believe if the public men of the country were as active and zealous in their efforts to bring ?his matter before the people as they wore to in- j ducc the States to secede, that the aspect of affairs ' would be widely different to-day from what it ja. I This agency would do more to correct this, the | greatest of all evils, than any_ other; but in the absence of such aid. those intrusted with conscrip- I tiou have stern duties to perform, and the country have a right to expect that they will be done with? out fear, favor or affection. MERCUTIO. -? Bslton, S. C, April 13, 1865. ; Editor* Inttltytnctr: The charge of negleot on the p*Tf-x>fL?ifl. Postmaster at Beltori, to deliver* mail matter in due time, :is an unjust charge. There is scarcely aft hour, day or night, through the entire weok, that the otHee may not. be opened on application for mail matter. Yoin^paper comes to this officejone week on Saturday amt-anodier week on'Wednesday. So soon as it coimjj it is de? livered to subscribers on application. ? lyq excep? tion to this rule. Any informal ion that has reached you to justify the notice which you {^j?iyour last issue, on the subject, is by mcjH^Bnced basely false. As to the frequent mi^HBvillcl1 the Postmaster is charged, he pleads^^Wguilry, and asks for a fair trial in which'both sifles may be heard. There are a number of well informed, aud unprejudiced persons, who are wclLaeiRwinted with the manner of doing business in this office, none of whom will sustain-die charge. ^ It appears strange, indeed, that the'Pedmaster would act amiss in delivering your papff after having used much industry to procure subfcribers for it; The Postmaster at Bclton iuis a rght to. ask justice at your hands, and to expect piothing short, of it.

It appears that on the evening of tho 11th, lin coln, much against his will, was persuaded to vis? it the the theatre in the Federal capitol, when was to be represented a popular piece, entitled 'Our American Cousin." He occupied as usual on-such J occasions a private box, accompanied by l^s Vife. The representation of the drama had hardly b/gun when a pistol shot was heard, but this noise jrea ted no stir in the large assemblage, and no e-tite ment was manifested until far above the buz aud hum of the many-voiced multitude, came the screams and cries of Mts..Lincoln. Immediately a man jumped from the box in lont oC the foot lights, brandishing a dagger and ex? claiming, "Sic semper tyrannis! Virginia is' re? venged .'" The crowd, asif stricken with paraljsis", offered no obstacle to the egress of the author of this doughty deed, and he escaped. Great excitement prevailed when the natur? of the catastrophe was Understood. Lincoln wasshot through the head, and survived until next day. About the same hour this little dramatic specta? cle, not announced in the bill, was being presented at the theatre, a gentleman called at the residence of Mr.' Seward, and called for the right honorable Secretary. The servant responding to die bell, stated that his master was sick, and refused com? pany. The gentleman persisted, stating that he had a prescription from an eminent physician of Washington, and must see him. At this juncture Mr.- F. W. Seward appeared upon the scene, and denied the visitor admission. 'Some little parleying endued when the unwelcome guest struck young Seward over the head with a bludgeon, fracturing his skull and doing away with that portion of tho Seward family.
