Tho Huntsville Adv?cale states that all thc real and personal property of Hon. C. C. CLAY has been libelled by thc United States District Attorney for confiscation. rialf a dozen negroes and a white man, a few nights ago, a short distance from Atlanta, robbed all persons they met. Rev. YV. P. HARBISON was ono of the sufferers. A correspondent ih thc Selma Mesfengcr urges tho election of Gen. W. J. IIABDEB ?.? President and Col. J. GoitGAi?, Lite Chief of Ordnance of tho Confederate S: ttiv-s, as General Superintendent ol' tho Selma and Meridian Railroad. ?--DANIix Dr.r.w has given $250.000 toward the mil? lion dollars to be raised by tho Methodists this year, and ho also proposes to erect a theological Hominary at ?iii) country scat up thc Hudson river, which is to cost not less than half a million, as a free donation to bia denomination. Some excitement lias recently been 'created in thc medical circles by tho discovery of a method of remo vir. g cancerous tumors without thc usc of thc knife, but simply by thc application of certain chemical agents to thc part affected. Experiments aro now in progress before some medical men ?d' high standing in Philadelphia. The heavy cotton factories of Nashville have j agaiu commenced shipping cotton to New Orleans instead of New York. Before the war nearly all thc cotton shipped from Tennessee went to New Orleans, and tho reopening of navigation is now making it resume its old channel. The freight per balo to Now Orleans is ?4, and to New York $10. The water-drinkers of Chicago aro disgusted by thc invasion of myriads of little fishes in thc water-pipes. Tons "of them are collected about thc inlet, and cannot be driven away. At timos they aro drawn by the pumps in such masses against thc screens, thftt the supply of .water is stopped, when it becomes necessary to hoist thc screens, and tito minnows rush in by the barrel full. Wc learn, says tho Macon Telegraph, from the best authority, that orders havo boen received from thc War Department to mtuter out of ser vico all tho troops, both white and black, in that military district The work will commence in a few days, as soon as tho necessary papers can be made out and forwarded to Washington, an- an answer received hy telegraph. A letter from Salt Lake City says the ill feeling between tho Mormons and the United States troops is increasing. Many persons are appre? hensive of difficulties before tho end of winter. Tho militia of the territory, of late, have been drilling and reviewing in different counties, and as a counterpart, last week, Gen. CONNOR marched his cavalry through tho city for review. BAMHAM YOUNG has becu dangerously ill of pleurisy, but is recovering slowly. Whon the capiral of Alabama was evacuated the battle-flags wercromoved by Governor THOMAS H. WATTS, who had them carefully preserved near Eufaula until he had assurance from tho Federal commanding oflieer that they should bc left in possession of the State. They wer?then brought back with thoyarchives of th? State, and thus fell into tho hands of thc Provisional Government. Governor PARSONS, in his recent Message, alluded to them, and says they have been carefully pre? served and are ready to bo delivered to his sue- j cesser. l Mr. D. C. WHITMAN, Deputy-Coinuiissioner of ? ( Internal Revenue, Washington, has instructed thc Assessor of the 1st District of Tennessee, that, in assessing the tax of two cents per pound on cot? ton, he may make a reasonable allowance for bag? ging and rope, instead of assessing thc tax ou tho gross w.ight. lu accordance with these instruc? tions, thc Assessor has fixed twenty pounds per bale as a reasonable allowance. The instructions of the Commibsioner are, however, uot to allow any rofuudmeut to those who may already have paid two cents on tho gross weight, lie says (hat thc allowance is a '.'matter of liberality rather than right."

CHARLESTON. FRIDAY MORNING, JANUARY 12, lPCG. IT REQUIRES but a very casual observation of occurrences around as to perceive a very decided improvement upon that condition of affairs presented by tho last summer. To thc citizen, returning to his homo after years of oxile, tho scenes presented were especially repulsive. The homes of honored citizons seem to have been industriously filled with negroes; our public halls were the head? quarters of officers, with whom intercourse was necessary, and who often seemed to feel that it was a part of their duty to give us a realizing sense of subjugation; the Citadel afforded quarters to a colored regiment, whose ovening exercises brought together thousands upon thousands of idle and disorderly ne? groes; colored soldierB stalked tho streets; colored women in flaring finery thronged the thoroughfares; plantation negroes in thousands sprawled upon the curb-stoncs and hung around the commissary department of the Freedmen's Bureau; buildings were still scarred and broken by shells; grog-shops were open everywhere ; but hotels, all but one, were cloted ; and, though business in the way of merchandize was active-more goods were sold perhaps than arc sold now but in all things else it was stagnant. No mills, machinery, or collateral trades or en? terprises wero in operation; our young men returning in want from thc army were with? out thc opportunity or the hopo of employ? ment : much of our properly was in the hands of thc Freedmen's Bureau, without Ihr- pres-1 cut means nf its recovery or thc assurance ; that it ever would i>c restored; and over alli were thc gloomy apprehensions of still greater political evils, which ,we lind not, of our-: selves, the power to avert in many respects it must be confessed that there has boon a change for the better. Col-. ored troops arc no longer quartered in thc Citadel; negroes have been removed from lite houses of our citizens: officers no longer industriously impress us with a sense of sub-. jugation ; colored soldiers and colored women uo longer monopolizo the streets; thc injuries from thc bombardment have been generally repaired : tho droves of idle negroes have been sent to tho country or absorbed by busi; ness ; property, to :t great extent, has been restored ; our young men have generally found something to which they can turn their willing hands ; mills, machine-shops, foun? dries, trades and collateral enterprises have been started : civil law has been restored ; fctvil officers have entered on their functions: tho aspect of our political fortunes has bright? ened ; thc States, though barred from Con? gress, arc recognized by thc Government as I soustituents of thc Union ; and, although our j ?ondition is not yet such as we wish it wero : j though when coming to its full realization wc find our losses greater, our prospects more gloomy than wc might have hoped they would be; though negroes in rural districts still re? fuse to work,-aud on the islands aro in a state af insurrection ; and, though our city is heavily charged with debt, and must incur still greater charges in tho way of restora? tion and repair : and, although wo are forced to forego, for tho present, the hopes of much jf that business upon which the fortunes of jur city had depended, still wo are conscious the coast is clear; that impediments aro re-1 moved ; that in business matters we aro pos? sessed of tho situation; that wo have our work before us, which, hard as it may be, is still within our grasp; that if we cannot make the negroes work as efficiently us wo :ould wish, wo can make them serviceable to | ?onie extent, or at least wc can work our- j .elves ; that if our estates do not give us for- j unes, they will at least give us a support;! iud that, with patience, prudence and econo- j ny, for which all are prepared, thoro is now lie reasonable assurance of a condition of! .vcll-being and happiness as attractive asmen ? isually enjoy, while there is the further com- j br table assurance that matters must contin- j lally improve ; that negroes, though some of . beni may starve, must ultimately come to ,rork : that even our diminished agricultural Mroducts must bring capital into the country; h: t foreign labor must bc attracted hythe 'xtraordinary inducements offered ; that cul ivation must become more and more ex? panded ; that our communication will extend hither into the country, .md through moro i irosperuua sections; and that more trade viii como to our city ; and that its business nust revive and expand : and our present ?tate is brightening, therefore, by at least his one reflection, that it is at the worst ; hat external impediments are removed; that ?very change must be for the bettor, and every .tcp, small as it may be, n step to a more at? ractivo futu-o. It were but au act of justice to our present ni li tory authorities to confess that they havo ? uhipted a policy which tends greatly to tho I inproved condition of our affairs, and that j :ln*ir efforts aro directed, with great prudence iud judgment,'tu the return of order and tho; proper wttst! of responsibility among our col- ! .red population. Tho rights of property ure ' moderated and sustained, and they arc fa- j rorcd i?y t'.ie securities, tts far as thc military ?ovcrnine.iit .-an give them, that they may inter on their operations safely and push .bein, without disturbance, to successful re .nits f?enernl SICKLES seems to bc fully inproseW wiih the conviction that the order ;n ! pu grc?s of the ceuntry depends nnon the 1 Ability of planters to Ije masters of the situa? tion upon their places, and to this end he gives them all tho assurances they cnn roa Bonobly require. TAKING for granted, for the sake of argu? ment, nr rather to avoid argument, that the. people of the South have, hy thc late Te volu? tion, forfeited all of their political right?, and can$ with justice, bc debarred thc privi? lege of representation in thc Congress of thc United Stales till Euch timo shall arrive when they may bo taken back, like tho prodigal son, into thc folds of the old flag; taking j this for granted, wc would like to propound a pertinent (wo hope not an impertinent) tpiery. By what "*odc of constitutional or unconsti? tutional 1 -vs have the "powers that be7' in Washington tho ability to abate a single iota of the rights of an American citizen who chooses permanently to remove his dom , icil from one part of tho United States to another? And who shall say that a citizen of New York in choosing to become tveitizen of Charleston shall thereby forfeit a singlo j right or privilege due him as a citizen of thc United States? We would Fiiggesfcto our friends in tho No?sf.h. to fight their battle and ours on this new field. Sleeting of thc Uar. A meeting of tbe Bar of Charleston was held at tho Court Room ou yesterday, for thoJpurpoBO of 1 testifying their rospoct to tito memory of tho late HENRY A. Dc SAUSSURE, thc senior member at thc time of his death. On motion, IIICUARD YEADON, Esq., was called to thc Chair, and THOMAS Y. SIMONS, Esq., requested to act as Secretary. On taking thc chair, Mr. YEADON made thc following address : Urethren nf the nar : Wo nre assembled to discharge a melancholy but not ungrateful duty-to lay tho offering of affectionate re? spect on the bier of departed worth. Tho venable aud venerated Hr.aRY A. UKSAUSSUW:, tho patriarch of tho Charleston liar, after a long life of usefulness and honor, h is been gathered to h's fathers, anil ours is ibo filial office of sorrowing for his loss, and doing honor to his memory. Ho was thc last survivor of that distinguished legal brotherhood Ot a past goneraiion, of which thc h amed King, find the accomplished Petigrn, ulasl nl.su reomly numbered with the dead, were eminent mem? bers, and which nave digi ity mid Inatro to oar profoa (.imi. Let tlie Kanona of l?>ny principio and high-toned [courtesy which they inculcated IMI cherished ny us as ( viml'l?s and models fur imitation. Thu veneradlo de? ceased wa? vn-ging toward* fonr-Bwireyears, when, still in barnes?, bc waa called to meet thc common doom of humanity; and seldom lian so long an earthly pil? grimage been illustrated by a larger mrn-ojro ol useful? ness and virtue. Exemplary in every domestic relation, and honorably rorvicealde in publia life, hu won the es tecm amt reverence of tho community in which ho lived. Thc State Society of the Cincinnati bone red him a' their presiding officer: thc orphans of thc city were officially ti c objects of his benevolent and paternal care; thc client found in him a faithful andaalu counsellor; thejiuiinr members of the liar were debtors to hil kind ness and courtesy, mid yielded bim, in return, their affectiOttatfl homage ; tin. State appreciated him r.s a patriotic Bon, true to lier in the durkest h<uir of her dca tiny, and thc templo of religion numbered him among the pions worshippers of his God. Thc Chair is now ready to receive the testimonials befitting tho occasion. General SIMONS, after a few prefatory remarks, then offered the following memorial and resolu? tions : Tho Bar of Charleston have assembled to-day, in this Ume-hOUOred Temple of Justice, to oller a becoming .tribute of respect to the memory ufa beloved and much cst CC medmcU Iber of their fraternity. The congratulations which we might naturally ex- ! change with each other in reassembling, as servitors, j and ministers of Justice in this sacred edifico, after the | deplorable events of the last five years, are cheeked and saddened by thc gloomy recollections which crowd them- ! solves within Hint period. We look in vain union-four run lt s for nonio of InoM brilliant hiiniiiuricn'9t the pro- I (basion, who dignified und exalted thu science of law, hy their wisdom and learning, their experience and virtues'. We have already sacrificed fraternal offering! at the tombs ol' one-third of thc number ol* mir brethren, whose voices but lately mingled in tho debates at thin bar ; some full on the ensanguined Held, and some have gone down to the grave before their time, and before tliey had tilled the full tueaiairo of their well-deserved honors. Thc administration of publie justice hus been Buspendrd ; the law silenced : and everything about and around UM proclaim*! the gloom, and reveals .? thc purple testament of bleeding war." Eliam hoc sardinia sordibus ubiqu? contamination, ct a jiristina Splendor*, hms! quam Umge. rtmotun !" Saddened by these reflections, and amidst thnso scenes, wu now add another name to thc mclnneholy catalogue of tho lamented dead. HENNY A. DESACSSURK, Esq., tho eldest practitionor and ono of the oldest members of thc profession in this stuie, lias ceased to live. He was born on t'.c 15th Sep? tember, 1783, and hud just completed his seventy-seventh your. He came into lifo and wits reared, so to speak, in tho very atmospboru of thc Science'of Law. His lather was a celebrated Chancellor, and was in SOB tn Carolina as D'Agucsscau in Franco, the protagonist of Equity. It is not surprising that .Mr. LEMAUSSUIIE should havo carly imbibed the principles of that profession, of which his father was a muster. He devoted himself to its study and practice, with singular perseverance and industry, during a long life. Ho enjoyed a very large and lucra? tive practice, in wi. Ich he was engaged chiefly on tho Equity sido of the] Court, and was well versed in thc "prolegomena" of that branch of tho law; and by his thorough appreciation of tho ethics of tho profess;- ti, and his fidelity in conducting thc business confided to his management, he received th? confidence of bis brethren, and secured the unswerving adhorencu of his citas ts. His Intercourse with the Hench and Bar was distin? guished by tho samo dignity and courtesyw h ich gave a peculiar charm to his manners iii the social circle; and his elevated scute of honor, and unbending integrity and purity of life, were justly appreciated and rewarded by tho universal respect aud veneration of tho whole community. It is by thc cultivation of such an example an our late venerable brother has set before us, that thu dignity and honor of our noble profession must ever bc main? tained, aud he that will keep steadfastly before him such models for his guidance, wiil pass through the manifold trials and temptations of a lawyer's chequered career integer vita:, sctlfrisquepurus. Ju token of our sentiments on this occasion, be it Resolved, That tho Bar of Charleston hereby tostify their veneration and esteem for their late brother, HE . HY A. UKSAI:SSI-HK, Esq., and that they will ever cherish his memory, and the example hu s.-t buforo thu fraternity, as well by his virtues in private life, as by his honor and integrity in the exercise of his profession. Resolved, That too Bur condole with his family in their bereavement, and tender them their cordial .sy ni - patby. Resolved, That tho Chairman of this meeting present the foregoing preamble and these resolutions to his Honor, tho presiding Judge of tho Court of Common Pleas, now lu session in this city, with tho request that they may bo recorded in the minutes of tho Court. Resolved, That a copy of these proceedings bo tranr mitte l to rho family of thc deceased, and that the samo be published in the daily nowspupers of tie city. Judge W. A. PRINGLE seconded tho resolutions, and spoke as follows : lt is with feelings of filial reverence that I rise to second tho preamble mid resolutions, which havo just been offered, in rcferonco to our departed and venerable associate. Tho claims of an hereditary friendship-tho respect and regard which I entertained for him-thu many and repeated instances of kindness which I have received from bira-forbid my being silent on Un: occa? sion of this exhibition ot the esteem with which ho was held by his feUoW-men, It falls to the lot of but very few of all those who are born aud dio to livo so long a life as Mr. BESAUSstmE, aud to havo lived it so well. Pew men go down to tho gravo so full of years, and use? fulness, and honor. In every relation of lifo, few men have held up to others so high a stand ird for their ex? ample and ?mulation^? In uU thu social and domestic relations-in all the dunes of his profession-in all thc debt which bc owed to the community-few men havo so faithfully played their part. Emphatically a gentle? man of the old school, ho was conspicuous for his cour? tesy and amenity of manners. Ho was the dispenser of a large and generous hospitality. His homo was the refuge of the widow and the orphan-his roof the shel? ter of all who had lite claim of necessity and want. In bis profession, DO man was more laborious and assidu? ous. His industry was a proverb. Labor was h ?B pleas? ure and tho. happiness of bis life. His extensivo and varied practice attracted a largo number of students. and his office was tho nursery of the Bar. His life lonchad the extremes of tho two great revolutions which . have convulsed his country, and seems to havo been prolonged in order to trans uit to a younger generation .in example of the virtues which ennoble and dignify human life, and which, amid all thc vicissitudes of for? tune, and thu changes of States and Empires, can rouder it calm and peaceful ut thc last. After which they were unanimously adopted, and tho meeting adjourned. The Cout t having entered into session, Mr. YEA? DON, as chairman of thc meeting, tendered to tho Court, with sonic remarks, thc resolutions that J liad been adopted, to which Jud^o ALDIUCU made j the following response : G'nllemen nf Hie -Her : Thoso dispensations of Providenco which excite ns J BO mournfully frequently find :i moro cloquent expr?s- [ alon than in words. I fully npproM^te tue propriety of yourprorw'diiigs as members of this Par. and rcgrnt that, as thc Presiding Judge or tin- Ccurt, I cannot reply to jour toin-hing tribute with thc s-mo propriety nf language I remember your sciiior, Mr. DF.SAC.-SIT.T-:. linn my boyhood; ho was tho pattern ol' propriety and j professional ihy.nily- so kind, so gentle, and PO cour-1 (conn, that all who approached him felt i hat ho was in tim presence of a Carolina, gentleman. Asa lawyer, ho waa tin'wis.- counsellor and Hie faithful friend, No man ever, carno tn lum with abad cause and received encouragement to proceed ? no man over came toi.im with a just canse but what lu- f Mini] tin- finest otuotions of thc human ncart exerted, and tho largest ein-ouni|;c ment to seek right and justice; bc never deserted a iriend or a client; ho loved the young men who wero coa vag forward at tho Bar, and always encouraged them on tho stormy path of professioncl advancement. Years after I han been called to the liar, I well romember that thc old gentleman once said to mc, in his ofllce : "I always watch t;ic career of tho young men that wo sond out from tho city, and nothing la moro pleasant ti mc than to seo them succeed." lt was just such kind speeches that stimulated youth, and drew them towards the old man with love and veneration. I need not speak of him as a pubUc-spirited citizen-that Orphan llonso is his monument I cannot speak of him in his domes? tic relations-theso sons aro his witnesses. My brothers, Death has oeen very busy in our ranks since we were young together. Mr. Grlmke, Mr. Hunt, Mr. King, and last, but not least. Mr. Pctigro, aro in their graves, and now wc aro paying tho last sad tributo to tho good, tho wise, thc kind and thc beloved DE SADSSUUE. These were all beforo our time; they wero our lights and guides. But when I look around this Bar and remember the modest room in which we used to assemble up Blairs, I miss Porcher, and Walker, and Priolcan, and Ashby, and Jones, oud Northrop, and All? ston, and good Nelson Mitchell, tho greatest lawyer of us all. These commenced to fight tho battle of Ufo with us all; and Porter, and Simons, andLcsesne, and Magrath, and Brewster, and myself, aro all that remain. But which of ns will say that it is not better for them, and for our seniors, to rCRt calmly and peacefully In their graves than Uko us, to bc the living witnesses of tho humiliation nf our beloved South Carolina? Gentlemen, I forbear to pursue thia train of thought. Mr. Clerk. Let tho resolutions be entered in thc Journal of thc Court.
