General News. ?Reliable information from East Tennes? see proves, that the young man Baker, who was hung by the mob of citizens and BQldiers, was first assailed by Hall, whom he killed. The mob was the logical, con sequoncc of the evil teachings of Qover-" nor Brownlow. A spirit of lawlessness ? and cruelty prevails in that section, arid Gen. Stonoman declares that ho' cannot suppress it so long as it is encouraged by the Executive of the State. Tho nogro soldiers have been killing whit.3 persons, and have become so insolent in their bear? ing that even Governor Brownlow calls for their removal ,The life of ex-Governor Brown, of Georgia, was threatened on his arrival at Knoxville, Tennessee, ono day last week, by some-railroad employees, who charged that ho had issued an order last year for ? the hanging of every railroad porson found in the employment of the United States. A similar scene, in a more^ vio? lent form, was enacted on the arrival of Gov. Brown at Chattanooga. The mili? tary interfered, protected the Governor,' and quelled the disturbance. The court martial in the case of Lieut. Col.'A. L. Thomas, late Chief Quarter? master of the Eifth Corps, have concluded ? their Tabors, but the decision has not been ' promulgated. The specifications allege .that Col. Thomas, during the month of May, of tho present year, while acting as a disbursing officer of the United States, frequented a gambling house on Pennsyl? vania a-venue, in Washington city, and played faro, -and lost the sum of about seventeen "hundred dollars Government funds in his hands, and for which he was accountable aj3 such disbursing officer; ? and .further, that having been lawfully commanded by hjs superior officer, Brevet ? Major General M. C. Meigs, lo transfer without delay all the public fuuds in his - hands to Captain H. B. Lacy, A. Q. M., he disobeyed tho order and neglected to comply with it* President Johnson has granted a full pardon to tho Rev. H E. Johnson of Chesterfield, who, upon trial before a mil? itary court for taking the life of a United States soldier, was senteiiced^gsome two or three months ago, to imprisonment fijr life: which sentence was modified by Genoral Levens to imprisonment for a .. term of five years. It will be remembor cd that Mr. Johnson-, having reason to believe that his promises wero. invaded and his garden being robbed, at night, went out and fired his gun in the dark, . the shot from which took effect upon tho body of a robber, and cost him his life. This was the offense. The Cincinnatti. Gazette learns, on the most reliable authority, that the reports circulated by the Eastern press relative to the speedy trial of Jefferson Davis, and Chief Justice Chase's connection with it, are unfounded. Tt sa}*s the Chief Jus? tice has very properly declined all confer? ence on the subject, and it is not at all likely that he will hold any Court in Vir . ginia or North Carolina, until after Con? gress shall have had an opportunity of legislating in regard to the Circuits in the rebel Suites. * ? Miss Ann Farroll, a young Jadj- of Co hxmbus, Bartholomew Co*unty, Indiana, was riding in a buggy with a gentleman, on ^Saturday last,' whon the horso ran away. The young lady tried to jump out, but hor hoops caught on the buggy-and she was dragged about half a mile. The horse then ran into a- mill race and tho young lady was drowned. John P. Heiss, formerly of the New Orleans Delta died recently in Nicaragua. He was apartner of Thomas Ritchie in the Washington Uvion, and some years .. later owned that famous steamer, the Pampero, which he sold to the friends of General Lopez for servieo in the so-called Cuban ospedition. The Illinois papers abound in accounts of iriurders and outrages of the most fla? grant nature, quito equal in atrocity and as numerous as the accounts we havo from any of the Northern or Southwes? tern. States. Most of them appear to have been perpetrated by. returned sol? diers, or by the foreign immigrant popu? lation! . ? The Hon. Lucius Q. C. Laraar, ono of the diplomatic agents of Jefferson Davis, has returned to his homo at Jackson/ Mississippi. Until the war broke out he _ represented tho first, or Abbeville. District of Mississippi, in Congress, where he was recognized as a rising man. A great conflagration occurred! ini Au? gusta, Maine, recently, destroying the "business portion of the city, including the "banks, post office, and other public build-. .ing8.

The military court in Washington en? gaged in trying the Andersonvillo prison keeper, resumed proceedings in the case on the 19th inst., after an unavoidable va? cation-, owirtg to tho illness of tho accusod, of an entiro. week. After concurrence between the Judge Advocate and Wirz's counsel and a secret deliberation of the court, in regard to the Government fur? nishing time and moans to summon addi? tional witnessos for the defence from the Southern States, it was decided, that sub? poenas for tho desired persons should be issued and sent to the military command? ants in whoso departments they are sup? posed to reside. Tho taking of ovidonce was then continued, and a number of wit? nesses, including both .thoso who had boon in the national and rebel service, were examined, adding to the testimony herotofore elicited regarding the cruelty and inhumanity of Wirz, tho .sufferings and tortures of the prison pen. tho hunt? ing and-tearing of fugitives by hounas, tho starvation, tho punishments of the chain gan?c and. the shooting of men at the dead line. Major N03-CS, who arrested Wirz at his home in Georgia, testified that he was not authorized b}- General Wilson ?to give the prisoner any promise that ho should not bo prosecuted for his conduct at the prison, and he did not .think that he gavo any such promise. Captain Moore, Who superintended the fitting up of-the grave-yard at Andersonvillo re? cently, and marking tho graves of the na? tional soldiers who died in the prison, tes? tified that the number of burials was twelve thousand nine hundred and twelve, and that the dead bodies were placed closely together in trencl-.es from one hundred to two bundreel yards long. The most important testimony adduced before-the Wirz conrt martial yesterday,' says the "Sow York Herald of the 23rd, was that of Drs. F. S. Hopkins und G. L. Rice, two of tlic rebel medical men who were on duty at the Andersonvillo prison hospital. Dr. Hopkins read a report on the condition of the prison and hospital, which he had prepared and submitted to General Winder, after receiving instruc? tions' to make a complete inspection. He found the causes of the great mortality and the alarming prevalence of disease to be the crowded state of the pen", thc^ ab? sence of proper or sufficient food cand medicine and all facilities for cleanliness," want of wood, water and clothing and of shelter from heat and cold, and the filthy nnd poisonous condition of ti c prison. Dr. Hopkins suggested lcmcdics for all these evils, but no attention was ever given to his report. An order of General Winder to Dr. H. was submitted, showing that tho Richmond authorities Avero cog 'nizapt of the evils, and that Winder had authority to abate them. Tho Doctor said it was the implicitconfidencc Winder had in Wirz which caused the horrible state of things to exist. Dr. Rico gave evidence in regard to the terrible condi? tion of the prison pen, and the dying of men from' starvation, cold, hunger and other causes. Tho testimony of other witnesses to the same effect was also taken. The proceedings were closed yesterday amidst a somewhat exciting scene. Wirz, who, owing to his weak condition, has for some days, past reclined on a couch while in the court room, was requested to rise for tho purpose of being identified by a witness wlio had been testifying to cases of murder and brutality on his part. When the -witness said "That is the man," Wirz glared at him fiercely and made efforts to contradict him, being si? lenced with difficulty, and was so over? come by "his excitement and passion that he sank exhausted and almost lifeless. Measures were immediately taken to re? suscitate him, the court adjourned,' and the room was cleared of spect^ jrs. It is thought that the accused cannot live to see the conclusion of the trial. Washington, Sept. 23.?The Wirz mili? tary commission re-assembled this morn? ing. Capt. Wirz immediately after being brought in the room laid down on a sofa, still too weak to sit up. Geo. W. Gray, whose testimony towards tho close of the proceedings yesterday oaused tho prisoner so much distress, was cross-examined to-claj-. in reply to a ques? tion by Mr. Shobc. He believed in pun? ishment after death. When he arrived at Andersonvillo a prisoner, his pocket bock and cavalry coat were taken from him, his boots had been removed from his feet at the time of capture. Tho witness gavo an affecting account of the suffering of the prisoners. -* Owing to the financial straights to which a majority, of the Southern people havo fonnd themselves reduced now that the war is ended, to their want of infor? mation in regard to the requirements of the Internal Revenue Laws, and for other roasons, the Secretary ot tho Treasury has ordered that all articles in the lately rebellious States which .can bo shown to have been manufactured before,the estab? lishment of the collection district in which they are lound, shall' be free from the pres? ent assessment or collection of tax, uniess transported beyond the State limits*" . ?,-??o-? s M*jor General Kautz Avas married to a g^ud daughter of ex-Governor Tod, at Cleveland, Thursday. _??> - General Wade Hampton- hZd been nomi nated through tho press for Governor.' Southerners in Washington. The general deportment of Southerners in "Washington is thus set forth in a letter to the New York World. It will be seen their bearing is Buch as characterises a high-toned, chivalrous peoplo: Serious, with an air of resignation in their faces which docs not exclude viva? city, dignified without haughtiness, re? served but not taciturn, the prodigal chil? dren of the Union come back home, if not entirely converted, with the best intention at least to be faithful to their pledge, and to live in peace with tho government. The hotel-at which I put up was'fillcd with families from the South, coming here with the avowed intention of obtaining their pardon from the President. The men looked grave, the women sad; the children surprised and almost bewildered to sec themselves in such a place. Most of those I saw were in mourning. At breakfast or dinner they ate solemnly and almost without exchanging a word. It was evident from their manners that they belonged to what was formerly call? ed the aristocracy of the South. Their manners were easy**and simple, without any mixture, of stiffness and constraint which you meet wit h so frequently among npstarts. Cool, reserved and modest, they speak very little, go straight-forward to their business without looking either to tho right or to the left, like people who are in haste to leave the city, or go home. In the President's ante-room, where I met several, and among them a few members ?of the Confederate Congress, they stood in corners or out of doors, with a news? paper in their hands, communicating with no one, and acting pretty nearly as if they were prisoners.of war, and had lost the right of speaking their minds. The ladies copy and even exaggerate-tho reserve of the men. They remain most of the time confined to their rooms, never go down to the parlor, and when they leave the hotel," Which is very rare, it is for a visit to some friends, or to exchange civilities with Southern families in 6omo other hotel. The only time I saw Southern ladies de? part from their silent and reserved atti? tude was when the}' addressed the Presi? dent in .behalf of their sons and husbands. On that occasion their timidity vanished; they became bold, and, with truo elo? quence, tried to awaken the sympathies Of the Chief Magistrate. The impassibility of the President and his apparent coolness did not aocm to make them flinch; they renewed their entreaties with greater spirit and force, and did hot leave the ground un til thev had cither carried their point or hoped to carry it. ?: Southern Railroads.

But one of the family is now left to per? petuate thp name:?Ashburton, tho brother of tho deceased, and the inheritor of the Marshficld estate, as soon as he comes of age; a very promising youngman, now in tho American navy.. Fletcher Webster left these two sons and a daughter, the last still living. .Edward Webster, the Major, who died in Mexico, left no chil? dren. There are four other grand-children by his much loved Julia, bearing the name of AppTcton. This is all the family of Daniel Webster. The stay of the house, or of its name, is Ashburton. Whether he, with his limited resources, will bo able to keep the Marshficld estate in a condition worthy the fame of his grand? father is 'doubtful. .

This distinguished gentleman, lately a.delegate from this District to the State Convention, ad? dressed the citizens on Monday last, giving a suc? cinct and accurate statement of the action of tha^ body. It would be an injustice to attempt a synop? sis of his remarks, as they covered a large area of thonght and information. Suffice it that our hon? ored townsman rendered a satisfactory account to his constituents, and will receive their approval on the ballot for Governor a fortnight hence. JfST* We arc authorized to say that Col. Tuos. J.. Pickk.n's will not. be a candidate for Senator at the ensuing election. Also, that Col. C. S.

As tho mails have been re-established, affording greater facilities for obtaining the latest news from all quarters, we think it an opportune moment to urge the claims of the Intelligencer upon the people of this District. In almost every neighborhood there is a package of some size being received regularly, and moat certainly the invclligent com? munity in which we live are desirous of being posted on the current news of the day. Subscrip? tions received for any length of time. TO MANAGEBS OE ELECTIONS, We are requested to state that where a vacancy exists in the Managers of any box throughout the tho District, upon application to either of the dele? gates to the Convention the vacancy can be sup? plied. In case there be no Managers at any pre? cinct, the members-are fully empowered to appoint the same, where application is made by citizens of the neighborhood. It is important that the vacan? cies, if any exist,, should be filled, and wc trust that sufficient interest will be manifested to sccuro the desideratum. N0ETHEENSENTIMENT TOWAEDS THE SOUTH. The Northern press and people have scarcely imitated the magnanimity and generous action of President. Johnson. With few exceptions, so far as we hare seen, the expression of conciliation is not prevalent. It seems to be quite popular to complain loudly of a waut of Union sentiment in this region, and declare that the fires of rebellion arc not extinguished, but only reposing in slumber? ing embers, ready to break forth ?Uli renewed fury when it reaches any thing combustible. In justice, however, to the'men who met the Confed? erate armies in battle, we must place them among that class who are not clamorous on this subject. They know full well the honest tenacity of purpose which iactuated the rank and file in defending to the last extremity those, principles in which we had been tutored and reared from -earliest infancy: and having this knowledge, gained *>y intercourse with Southern solJi;ers, they are far from being vituperative or imbued with undue hatred and re? venge. Yet we must remember that the large ma? jority of the Northern masses kept out of harm's way, and especially those who mould public senti? ment?the editors, politicians and preachers?and it is to these leading classes of the community and their satellites that we refer. Neither do we think it strange that those in the North who were least belligerent in action during the war should now become intensified with the spirit *of oppression and radical hatred. As they escaped the perils of the battle-fieid, because of timidity in that particu? lar line of duty, they feel it incumbent upon them? selves to relieve th? fighting population from any further trouble am! assume th* task of driving the people of the South to tbe wall. This is the vir? tuous share of the work in crushing out the spirit of rebellion, which they declare to bo yet in ex? istence. The President, on the other hand, has firmly adhered to the principles enunciated in the earliest days of Lis administration.. Tic knows the people South?was raised among them, and by a respecta? ble portion of that people was elevated to position and power and influence. Imbued with a sense of justice, ho has accepted the profession sof loyalty 'and submission made by the newspapers and pub? lic men, who are best acquainted with the real in? tentions and purposes of their constituency. He lias ^strenuously opposed the wrong and upheld the rieht. His face is set against the machinations and threats of the fire-eatjng radicals and the se? vere tests to which they would subject Southern sentiment. It is equally true that tho President has rigidly required the adherence of the States lately in revolt to the furtherance of those measures which he deems of vital importance to their resto? ration as co-equals in the Union. Of this we can? not complain. ; The overthrow of slavery was de? creed by the failure of the Confederacy, and the South has accepted it as the leading penalty of its action. Further than this, President Johnson has not exacted of the.South, save in South Carolina, v.l.ose peculiar State Government has always been ;discussed even within her awn borders. Negro suffrage, and other questions of domestic policy, are not matters ^for dictation, as the President, thinks. Only so much is required as will bring back the States on the same footing'as those which have never recognized involuntary servitude. For his consistency ar.d firmness, i lie President-deserves remembrance and gratitude, when it is recollected that there are hundreds of influential men mid prominent journals daily pleading in behalf of ex? treme measures, and hourly demanding that the Scuth should lie dealt witli in a more summary nnd vicious manner. With the action of each Slatp, by a Convention of her people", declaring slavery forever abolished and making a.-Constitution in accordance, there? with, the President will havo a substantial basis up"on which to "meet this sentiment in the North, which has threatened .^largely to interfere with his power and privileges. Th% conservative party will be built up on the downfall of the radical ex? tremists, ar.d the American people will become once more united. The wisdom, firmness and un conqncrablc resolution of Andrew Johnson, in connection with the good sense and judgment of tlie Southern people.iu accepting with dignity and good faith their position, will have .accomplished thq result. - IMMENSE EXCITEMENT.

And when quietly endeavoring to prepare food for-the intellectual appetite of the public, we are fre? quently interrupted-in our thoughts and mental employment by this undue excitement of the peo? ple.

Having accepted a nomination for the Legisla? ture at the 'ensuing election, it ia proper that I shouid say thai I will be necessarily absent fcom . the District during the canvass. The Convention at its late session aucSorizcd the Governor to-send to Washington an agent to represent directly the interests of the. State in reference to abandoned lands, pardons, &c, and he has been pleased to confide that duty to me. It would" not be proper that I should delay the discharge of that duty sun? ply' for the pui po.?e of securing votes for myself. But at the last election, with a kindness I can nev? er forget,'you honored me, then almost a stranger, with the ri.fvcscn.tat ion of this District.-*dly re? sponsibility was soon ended, for directly after the close of the first session of the legislature the military occupation* of the State destroyed all civ? il government. I trust, however, that nothing" oc- ? currcd in Lhc short term of our' p^irtical connec? tion to diminish the confidence and the kindness you >hcu manifested. Between that period and this time when wc hope to resume the privileges of our citizenship, great changes have taken place. We have failtfd in an attempt which wc may regret, but which we cannot disown, nowever bitter has been our experience it. is not ??without its worth-? ? however enormous the treasure- we have expen? ded, let us hope that it will boar interest in the future, and rich and copious as was the precious blood wc have shed,' it has dyed the record of our contest with a crimson glory that time cannot darken. Our children will read tire story with sadness but not with shame. But if we have met our defeat like brave men, let us use it as wise ones. The State itself which separated us from . the Union has replaced us under the authority of the old government. If we were bound to obey ? then, so uie we bound to obey now. The Suite has recognized the emancipation of the ne?ro, and if we discharged our duty to the slave then, s<f should we dischargo-our duty to the frecdman now. In adjusting the legislation of theHBtate to the new condition of things there will be much difficulty. I can only say, that, if olected, I will endeavor to discharge my duty upon these principles: 1. " That tho State must expect to achieve its fu? ture prosperity by harmonizing its interests with those of tho whole Union, and placing her in cordial relation with .the sentiment of what is again a common country. 2. That our system of slave labor is abolishsd forever, but (hat it is our duty as the superior , race to maintain that superiorityf to legislate . firmly, but kindly apd justly, in reference to the now relations which this change has established, and for the interest both of the freedman ami the ?State to re-establish as soon as possiblcthe syste- 1 matic development of free la'ior. 3. That whore'it is.the duty of the Legislature to maintain with the most scrupulous care thepuh. lie and private credit of the State, and to impr?'sj? upon our people the vital necessity to their exist? ence as a rocioty of a sacred respect for the obli? gation of contacts, yet it.is equally the dir* of the Legislature iu tho present, impoverished and di* ? tressed condition of the people to take care.that justice is not abus?*I '}'..**? oppression, and to pro> vidc lhat*lhe collection of debt? shal], be made gradually, and with due regard both to -the claim of the creditor aud the coudition and .n-ecssity -of . ;ho dcl.ior. W.U. HENRY TltKSCOT. TO THE VOTERS OF- ANDERSON DISTRICT. In accepting flic-nomination as & candidate to represent the people of Anderson District in the next Legislature, I decmit a fit occasion loaddrosa a few. words to those who have heretofore- so gen? erously sustained me in every undertaking of my ! life. Coming amongst you an entire stranger and quite youthful in age and experience, I was taken ? ! cordially by the hand and met warm, substan'iai : friends everywhere. Five years ago" some were ; partial enough to present my nniue,for the position ? '' of:Legislator; I then declined the intended honor because of the belief that my extreme youth did" not-warrrt.nl thepartitilily. Efghtccn months si'.icc I was ag.-yn sinMi-'y solicited fo become a candi? date. At" that time I was in the service of our country, ami.felt unwilling to devote even a poriiou of my time to oilier duties than those of a sol..'.i;r, striving in an humble capnoity to effect the ooject wc nil'desired to obtain, to wit, our political inde? pendence. And now the'favor nnd friendship of those who-hu re been associated'with mein the try- . ing scenes of the past few ycarsv encersed by older - and more mature persons, again uiges an acecp lance of the nomination. Under these circumat.nu :es, 1 have not allowed myself to .hesitate in tho conclusion to give the use of my name forthat pur-, pose. If electee1,' it shall be tho carm-st cfi'u"! of alB ? the ability I possess to represent the interests 6* ' the people among whom ray lot has been cast; onol should failure attend tJic consumtnation of tha't de ' sire, most assircdlv the result will not proceed from any neglect or indifference to the welfare ef our section and State. The next Legislature wilT undoubtedly prove of vast importance in its delibe? rations. ? Serious chi.ngcs arc to be inaugurated? and, per.'ccted, through the wisdom of that body, iu lhc domestic policy of our commonwealth. And: while it should be the unremitting care of the Rep? resentative to shape that, policy in accordance with, our new relations to the General Government, I would strenuously oppose whatever may tend to> radicalism and unbridled democracy, aud seek t? advance the prosperity and happiness of a people who have-proven themselves, in an eraincnt.de grcc, brave, devoted and steadfast to principle and honor.
