EDITOBS : Your corroBpondont, "Phllo Pcedon," has a heart boating at the right plaoo both for tho Hying and for tho doad, but fears if sympathy Hows oat too freely for the latter it -?Till exhaust itself before it reaches tho former. Ho would not dishonor tho grave, but thinks if choice must be made wo ought to feed tho living boforo we givo decent sepulchre to tho dead. The gone ral rule is probably oorroot, but thero aro excep tions, if, indeod, the two offices are not simultane ous. TheBO graves are down-trodden and over grown, and if neglected longer will become so effaced as novor again to be idontiflod. Many of the dead oame from distant parts of the State and of the country, ao that it is impossible for family or friends to perform the humane duty which tho Association has undertaken for them. If a record of namos and of graves is not sooured whilo thoBO who interred the dead still remain near (bo spot, it Is likely that families will never reoover tho bodies or over learn the placo of their interment. "Philo-Pcodon" docs not object to this, but only to the time of doing it, and intimates that the pinohing suffering of the poor should prompt a poatp ?nomont. The poor wo have always with us, and a thousand sympathies prompt the living to aid the living; but the dead oan do no office for themselves, so that an enlarged liberality should take in both. The Bon of God permitted MAUT to pour on his head costly spikonard, whioh might have boon ?old and a handsome home Beoured for his widowed mother, but she did it for hie burial, under his approval. Indeed, "Philo-Podon" is proof that sympathy created for the dead will flow towards the living, by humanely suggesting that the tears over the gravea of the Confederate dead should be direoted into channels of benevo lence for widows and orphans. One good mot will etimulato another. If this pious honor be deferred until asylums aro erected for orphans or associations formed to shelter widows, it is feared that overy trace of the graves will be obliterated. But the Association proposes to stand in the stoad of the bereaved, to save them from an outlay of means whioh love urges them to make, and thuB to accomplish the two-fold purpose of "Philo Podon," by decorating the graves of those dear to widows and orphans, at the same time, by this office, reserving their scanty income. At most, the expense of this pioua undertaking is very small, requiring more attention than means, so that the noble promptings of your correspondent can be easily carried out without detracting from tho honor of those whom we love to honor. Tribute to the dead is benevolence to the living, PHILO-lSrEKBOS. ? a ? OHABLSSTOK, 8. C, May 2?th, 186G. Editor Charleston Daily News : Tour issue of 21et hist, contains Special Corres pondence of New York Herald, and is brought to my notion. Will you obligo me by publishing the herewith copy of communication forwarded this day to New York Herald. Respectfully, JAMES 0. BEECHER, Brevt. Brig. Gen. U. S. V. Editor New York Herald : Tour Charleston correspondence, under date of the 18th inst., reports as follows : " In January laet General BEKCHEB found but two acres listed out for planting on the whole of EdiBto Island," Ao., &o. Tour corresponde??? unwittingly omits the some what important words " in any one patch"-also, confounds Edisto with John's and Wadamalaw Isl ands adjacent. In this connection it may not bo out of place to offer a few suggesstions concerning the earlier or ganization of the Bureau under civilian agents, and its present military form. Tho former waa made discreditable by the character of its subordi nate, agents, who seem to have been, with a fow honorable exceptions, good mon without judg ment, or Bhrewd men without principio. The military organization has seemod to work damago rather through failure to establish any definite plan for a permanent arrangement of the rotations between tho freed people and whites, and through joalous interference with military endeavor to organize on a praoti?al basis. Charges of malpractices by subordinate agenta have com paratively little to do with the main issue. They may all be true, or may be exaggerat ed. ?- present, the question is simply this: Can the two systems work together as separate organizations? Jit is very evidont they cannot. Thoy oan be dis together; but if one works, it disturbs the other; if both work, they clash. AB an organizing foroe for pei_a"nt arrange mont of affairs, the Bureau has accomplished little or nothing. General Order No. 1, January, 1806, from Maj.-Gen. SICKLES, did the business; and the execution of this order by military subordinates settled th? labor question for the year, 'and pro bably for coming years, in the State. It is very true the Bureau has ita "OB and ren ders some valuable sorvices, but these are counter balanced by the seeming establishment of sepa rate sources of redress for whites and freed people, and an increase of the chances of collision and bitterness. **-*. . . Doos it not, then, oommond itself as a re.ason able proposition, to sooure the benefit of both organizations, by combining them under one head and hand? either to add to a Commissioner of tho Bureau military command of his department, , or endow the military commander with such addi , tional powers and duties as now rost upon a Com missioner? Thus we shall reduce from two systema to one, and be prepared to. dispense with that one at no very lato day, or to havo tho ? necessity for it cease to oxist. It must como to ? this, sooner or later, and the sooner the bettor. As a porsonal matter, I regret exceedingly to L even seem to be in antagonism with an institution ' whoso objeot and aim is tho wolfare of the treed " people. But I know this objeot can not be attain I od except by establishing them upon a basis o aotive industry and mutual good will betweei j themselves and their white neighbors. I believ? the chief workers in the Bureau to be honi?" ant r ein coro, but for six months have watch od- tho fail * ure to do what muet bo doue. f Honoo, in no party spirit, but simply as one wh< '. for ft year has worked steadily for the objeot fo. u whioh the Bureau is instituted, I cannot do other ?" wise than boar testimony accordingly.

[mon oun OWN oonn-sspoHDXHT.] NEW Tons, May 22-Ero this lottor roaches you your readers will have been placed in possession of telographio accounts of the great conflagra tion, in whioh the world-ronowned opera house- . the Now Tork Academy of Music-has been total ly dostroyed. Neither, howover, from said ac counts, from any description that can bo furnish od by my feeble pon, nor from any other, however potently graphic, can thoro bo convoyed an ade quate idea of the grand and awe-inspiring sub limity of the scene of this terrible conflagration. At twolvo o'clook last night, in the witching hour of night, when ohurch-yards yawn and gravea (aro eupposed to) give up their dead (but do not), the stillness was brokon by tho cry of fire, and swift as lightning, or tho thoughts of love, went forth the ever-increasing cry that the Acadomy of Musio had been attaoked by tho fiery element. Tho rumor sproad almost instanta neously throughout the entire oity, and anon thousands of oager and exoited podostrians wore speedily wonding their way toward the aoeno of the conflagration. On arriving at the spot, or rather at a reapeot ably safe distance therofrom, the spectacle that burst upon the view was tranBoendently sublime and terribly grand. Thoro stands the magnificent building, in which night after night, for many years past, the beauty ?ud fashion of this groat oity wore wont to congregate, now wrapped in volumes of dense smoke, now lit up with a lurid glare by the blinding sheets of flame that burst forth from every quarter, and shed upon an immense space around a resplendent light, that mooked the brilliancy of old Sol himself, and changed tho night into day, spite of his ab sence. See wheroythe gallant firemen stand at their posts of duty and danger, manfully but vainly battling against the terrible foe; note how the "steamers" shake and tremble and quiver like things of life, and hear the hissing Bounds that mark the deadly strife between the streams of water and the oi-"k_ig flames. But if the scene was grand before, what is it now, when, with a thundering crash, the immense roof falls in, and anon a broad and unbroken sheet of solid flame shoots upward in superlative and majostio magnifioenoe a brilliant mountain of blazing fire. The battle is over-the grand illu mination proolaims that the fiery God has come forth triumphant, and that the New Tork Academy of Musio is henceforth a thing of tho past. The unsatisfied flames, however, have not yet finished their work; urged on by the increasing wind, they next attaok and consume the Medical Institute, then the piano factory of THUS & SON, and several buildings on Third Avenue, near Four teenth-Btreet. The wardrobe destroyed in the Academy (the property of the stockholders) is valned at about $100,000, besides that belonging to GBAU'S compa ny, worth 125,000, and also no inconsiderable por tion of the wardrobe belonging to MAnrrzEK. It is stated that several dromon have perished in tho flames. ' The destruction of the Aoademy of Musio will be but a temporary loss to New Tork city. This opera house, magnificent as it was, will no doubt soon be replaced by another, which, in point of grandeur, will be even "more potent than the first." For a short timo, however, the people of New Tork will not be able to gratify their taste for oporatio porformaoceB, except by going occa sionally over to Brooklyn. The Committee on Applications in the Board of Exciae are growing enthusiastically buoyant in spirits and excruciatingly facetions in their ex aminations, dealing largely in bad puns and funny remarks, that are not funny at all. The public cannot porcoivo the precise point where the laugh comes io, either in the law itself or in the administration thereof. The Germans in particu lar, who are thirsting for their glasses of Sabbath lager, refuse to laugh at all until they are first allowed to take their Sunday smile. SUAESPEABX says a man may emile, and emile, and smile again, and be a villain. Our German friends contend that one may emile as often as he pleases-on lager-and not be either a villain or a drunkard. The great financial panic in^England will no doubt soon produce telling and visible effects here. Moneyed men are like human ten-pins-knock one down and he, in falling, knocks down another, and so on; when the middle pine are upset, there is gen erally a greater destruction. The failure of OVER END, GURNEY _ Co., in London, for about twelve millions of pounds sterling, I regard as the fall of an important middle pin. The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to ?Animals held ft meeting last evening. The proal I dent took pleasure in informing the members thal the soolety had alroady succeeded in putting a stop to the cruel practice of crowding sheep and calves together in wagons in such manner as muBl be exceedingly uncomfortable, not to say unpleas ant, to said calves and sheep.

A vc humane resolution was passed urging the propriety of employing three horsei instead of two on some of the city railroad cars The animals of tho oity should call a grand meet ing, and return a beastly vote of thanks. The theatres are all doing well, considering thi soason. The bona fide npper-tendom are prepar ing to start for the watering-places, and so an tho Bhoddyites. Whilst New Torkers are preparing to go away, Southerners are boginnlng to pour in and so the great city is ever crowded and gay. MOULTRIE. a a- ?

A largo meeting was held in Philadelphia on last Saturday evening, under tho auspiooB of the Johnson Club of that city, at which Senators Doo LiTTLE, COWAN and NOBTON delivorod spoechos. Tho following are the resolutions which wore adopted for tho guidance of tho Club : 1. Resloved, That wo aro now, na horetoforo, ar dently attached to the Union of tho Statos undor tho Constitution of the United States; that we deny the right of any Stato to seoede, and hold that all attempts at secession are null and void; that all the Statos aro now States of the Union, as bofore the rebellion; and we deny the power of the Gon eral Government, untl cr the Constitution, to ex cludo a Stato from the Union or to govorn it as a Torritory. 2. Resolved, That our confidence in tho ability, intogrity, patriotism, and statesmanship of Presi dent Johnson is undiminished. and we cordjally approve tho general policy of nie Administration. 3. Resolved, That we endorse the resolution of Congress of July, 18Gi, declaring the object of the war on our part to be tho defence and main tenance of the supremacy of the Constitution and the preservation of the Union with the dignity, equality, and right? of tho soveral States unim paired. 4. Resolved, That, in the language of the Chica go platform of 1860, and as quoted by the late President Lincoln iu his first inaugural address, "The maintenance inviolate of the rights of the States, and especially of tho right of each State to order and control its own domostio institutions according to its own judgment exclusively, subject only to the Constitution of the United States, ia essential to the balance of power on which the perfection and endurance of our political fabric depends." 5. Resolved, That under the Constitution of the United States is reserved to the several States tho right to presoribe tbe qualification of elootora therein: and that it would be subversivo of the principles of our Government for Congress to forco universal suffirage upon any portion of the country in apposition to the known wishes of the citizens thereof. 6. Resolved, '-That this Union must be and re main one and inseparable forever;" that the war for its preservation having been brought to a triumphant olose, and the supremacy of the Con stitution vindicated, the rights of the States under the Constitution are to remain inviolate, and that loyal citizens within the States and distriots lately overrun by rebellion aro entitled to all the rights guaranteed to them by the Constitution. 7. Resolved, That all the States of the Union are entitled by the Constitution of the United States to representation in the counoils of tho nation, and that all loyal members duly elected and re turned, having the requisite qualifications as pre scribed bylaw, should be admitted to their seats in Congress, without unnecessary delay, by the respective Houses, each House being the judge of the eleotion returns and qualifications of its o?vn members. 8. Resolved, That treason is a orimo whioh should bo punished, and we are opposed to com promising with traitors by bartering "universal amnoaty' for "universal eutTrago." 9. Resolved, That the payment of the national debt ia a sacred obligation, nover to be repu pudiated, and that no debt or obligation incurred in any manner whatever in aid of treason or re bellion should ever be assumed or paid. 10. Resolved, That we cordially endorse the res toration policy of President Johnson as wise, pa triotic, constitutional, and in harmony with the loyal sentiment and purpose of the people in the suppression of the rebellion, with the platform upon whioh ho waa elected, with the declared polioy of the late President Lincoln, the action of Congress, and the pledges given during the war. 11. Resolved, That the nation owes a lasting debt of g ra ti ando to the soldiers and aailora of the late war, for the suppression of tho rebellion, and the families of the fallen heroes who died that the country might live are tho wards of the people, and should be cared for by the .Govern ment. 12. Resolved, That the national Uniou men of the olty, who are in favor of the principios herein enunciated, and who are willing to give them the benefit of their practical support, and thus aid io the restoration of our country to permanent peaoe and happiness, are hereby requosted to 'orni ward associations throughout the city for the pur pose of giving vitality and energy to the comblnod action of the people in this regard, and report sai'l organisation to this club. THE* PRKKDMICN'S BUIIUAV. "I Order from General Howard. The following, from the Commissioner of the Freedmen'o Bureau, oxplains itself. Thore is one or two ideas in it, however, whioh will strike the publio as quite amusing. The ciroular was written no doubt in order to counteract, as much as pos sible, the truthful ?nd independent reporta of the Government Agents, Generals STEEDSTAN and FULLERTON, who are now making a tour through the Southern States; and in this connection we think it may not be uninteresting to add some extracts from General STEEP*-_'e report from North Carolina, so that our readers may "look upon this pioture and then upon that." GENERAL BOWABD'B OBDER. WAS DEPARTMENT, BUBEATJ REFUGEES, FBEEDMEN AND AB'O LANDS WASHD-TON, May 21,1866. Ciroular No. 4. In order to answer numerous inquiries from offi cers, agents and others, and, if possible, prevent misunderstandings with regard to the change of organization in this Bureau, this ciroular io is sued. 1. The Commissioner recommended, some time since, that the functions of military oommandsr of a State and assistant commissioner be exorcised by tho same officer. Wherever practicable, this is being effeoted-as in "Virginia and Mississippi. It is not done in condemnation of the assistant' commissioners, who have labored hard and suc cessfully, bnt to seoure more prompt and effective administration than can otherwise be done. 2. The Commiseioner calla the attention of all officers officially to the reports in circulation as to aots of severity and cruelty toward the froedmen on their own part, as to oarelessnocs hi renooring their monthly accounts, and other offences. Every officer or agent already aoeuacd shall have tho op portunity of a thorough vindication before a court martial. But tho occasions for suoh trials are to be deprecated, and they must be forestalled by a thorough system of inspection and a prompt re moval of every unfaithful officer. 9. Special attention is again called to tho diffi cult duty of caring for tho indigent. Whero in tense anxioty prevails to get ria of the Bureau, surely State and county officers will make some arrangement to relive the General Government of this heavy expense. If toe county offlcors or overseers of tho poor will adopt tho proper mt??-. urea, the industrial and Government farms which are now so moch complained of oan be disponsed with. """* _??: _i j In order to meet an emergency, when the whole system of labor was deranged, the Commissioner urged the forming of joint companies, the encour agement of the immigration of those accustomed to free labor, so oslo afford promptly as many exam ples as possible of the successful employment of ne groes under a free system. Apparently in keeping with these regulations, a few officers have invested their own- mean?, jointly with citizens, in the plant ing interest. I know of no late, or regulation of the army, or of this bureau, against this, yet it will almost inevitably lead to oorruption, as it has already to bitter accusation. Hereafter, such in vestmentt, toithin their own jurisdiction, by officer? on duty in this bureau, are strictly prohibited, O. O. HOWARD, Major-General, Commi-lonor. BTTP-OTB 1-**_ 0*D___ ST__>_AN's HEPOBT. * . * * , . . * * ona WAT OP iHncoiHQ im>D3Tax. Major Charlea L Wiokorjham, sub-agent of th?

He oxplained the manner ? whioh ho compelled freodmen to comply with heir contracts, by stating that ho put them to TO rk with ball and chain on tho streets of Wil nington. EVILS OF THE STSTEaf. Without attempting to discuss the propriety nf ifficora of the Bureau in the military service o' he United States, who aro paid by tho Govorn nont for tho performance of their duties, ongsg ng in private business, and employing freodmon or such purposes while controlling through thoir itncial positions that cluan of labor, we deem it >ur duty to state some of the effects produced, >oth upon the officers themselves and upon the ?lautere with whom they come in competition, by inch conduot. Major Wiokersham, in contracting o furnish forty laborers to work arico plantation, )0oomes at once interested against tho laborers, rhom ho compels to labor, perhaps unjustly, when mfairly dealt with by the person working them on ho plantation; and on their refusing to work, no nflicts upon them unlawful, and, fbr a broach of .outract, unheard of punishments, putting them m ohain gangs as if they were convicted orimi lals. Colonel Whittleaey, or any other officer of osB rank and influence in the Bureau, who are sngaged in working plantations rested for cash or >n shares, beoomoB interested in securing a low rate of wages and in making tbe most stringent iabolf regulations, to the groat r1 o trim ont of the rreedmen. Thoy thereby give the sanction of the Grovernment to the establishment of wages far be low what the labor is really worth. Officers of the Quartermaster's and Commissary Departments irho are thus eugaged are aubieoted to the temp tation of appropriating to their own use quarter master's stores and rations to supply and pay their own laborers. Complaints have been made to me by the planters that these agents of the Bu reau use the power of their position to obtain and oontrol the best labor in the State. There is no doubt that some of the ill-fooling manifested to ward the Bureau on the part of the planters is at tributable to this fact. ? ? * * a a a a SELLING PIlEEDMEN'fl CLOTHES. We ascertained by the testimony of Messrs. Barham <k Ballard, auctioneers at Goldaboro', that they had sold at auction for Chaplain Glavis forty blankets marked "U. S." anda quantity of clothing that had been sent to Goldaboro' for gratuitous distribution to the needy bv a Froedmen'a Aid So ciety at or in the vicinity of Roches tor, N. ?. We learned also that be Ead disposed of a large amount of snob clothing at private sale. The chaplain stated himself that ho bad received from such sales two hundred and sixty dollars ($260). though subsequently ha asserted that the total cash receipts of his office from all sources amounted to one hundred and twenty-six dollars and fifty cents ($126.60). He kept no books or oven memoranda of moneys received and ex pended. **.* ? ? ? ? FUBTHEB MISOeNDTJOT.
