General Sheridan.
The Republican press of the North don't seem tc
roliah the military edicts of some of the com?
manders of the "unreconstructed." The Spring?
field Republican thus ?p saks of SHERIDAN :
The President has no; been disposed to inter?
fere with the military commanders, whatever they
might do; but these last acts of General Sheridan
amount to open defiance of his superiors, and in?
crease the difficulties of the situation in
Louisiana to such and extent that Secre?
tary Stanton and General Grant will bc
likely to insist on the supersedure of Gen
oral Sheridan. He has shown boldness and dash
in civil as well as military movements, bat it mast
be conceded that he displays no great genios for
government. With all parties in New Orleans and
the War Department at Washington against him,
his usefulness as department commander most be
at an end. Those difficulties should also bring ont
the long-expected decision of the Government as
to the proper limits of the authority given to tho
military commanders by the reconstruction bills.
The whole matter is at loose ends, and there will
be endless collision and confusion unless some well
denned principles are established on tho subject.
The New York Nation, the great organ of radi?
calism, also gives him a touch in commenting on
his action removing Gov. WELLS, of Louisiana:
"If the Government at Washington were to
acknowledge that an appeal to them from the deci?
sions of a district commander might be treated by
the officer himself as offering an 'impediment to
tho faithful execution of the law,' and punished
accordingly, the right of appeal would be, of
ooaree, destroyed, and the various generals would
become absolute within the limits of their juris
diction-a result which the sot oertainly did not
contemplate,"
The Bankrupt Law.
The bankrupt law being now (since the 1st inst.)
tn full operation, a summary of its principal pro?
vision s will be of use. The act provides for vol?
au ta ry and involuntary bankruptcy, for the bank?
ruptcy ol partnerships and of corporations, and

full, his willingness to surrender all his estate and
effects for the benefit of his creditors, and his de?

The revenue cutter lincoln, stationed on the
Pacific coast, is preparing fo r a croise at San Eran
cisco, to Sitka, and along the shores of Russian
America, ander the direction of the Treasury De?
partment, where she goes or the purpose of look?
ing after the inter?s', B of the customs service, in
anticipation of an early transfer of the territory to
the United States under the treaty whioh is ex?
pee ted to take place some time in Joly. It wilt be
remembered that several weeks since information
was received by telegraph from St. Petersburg of
the rati,cation of the treaty, and the immediate
return of Bar. Bodisoo.
. OJ the strength of that ratification the Russian
Minister Baron Stoeckl, directed by telegraph the
Consul at San Francisco, and the Russion authori?
ties at Sitka that American goods might be landed
at the latter port from Am encan vessels, provided
they came with manifesto certified by a United
States collector of castoras, and countersigned by
a Russian Consul It was also provided that they
should be landed under the personal supervision
of an American agen t. The Secretary ot the Tr eas
ury instructed his officers at San Francisco in rela?
tion to these facts, and it is probable au officer has
already proceeded to Sitka to represent tho ti^'-s
oryfor the present To protect the commerce
thus springing np in that region, the Lincoln is
about to be dispatched thither as bas been stated,
and will spend the entire season cruising in those
seas.
In order to make the cruise valuable as possible,
and at the same time meet the requirements of the
Government and afford information to the country
as to tho resources of the new territory, the Lin?
coln will have on board five members of the corpB
of the Coast Survey, prepared to make a general
reoo^noisance of the coast and a particular survey.
Capt, White, of the cutter, is an experienced natu?
ralist, and together with Dr. Kellogg, surgeon of
the vessel, will give}especial attention during the
voyage to a wide range of scisntific inquiry, sug?
gested and guided by the Smithsonian Instituto.
These gentlemen are directed not only to acquire
all possible information about the country, its cli?
mate, productions and resources of all kinds, but
to produce specimens to be carefully preserved
ana forwarded to Washington.
Capt. Howard, of the revenue marine service,
who is peculiarly fitted for the service by an ac?
quaintance with these coasts, formed in previous
visits, will go from New York on the steamer of
the 10th inst., and take charge of the vessel for
the voyage. The vessel, after visiting Sitka, will
cruise along the entire coast, if possible, from the
southern extremity of the country to the western
extremity of Aleutian Islands; and no pains will bo
spared to make the results valuable, aside fro? ii
tue immediate object of the cruise in the protec?
tion of the revenue. Mach information is from
time to time coining to hand, going to Bhow tho
unexpected value of the acquisition ; and it will be
a main object in view upon the cruise to verify the
correctness ol these statements.
The New York correspondent of the London
American observes: "It is a year, on the first of
May, since GEO EOE .PEABODY, arrived here in the
Scotia. With the closest economy it has cost bim
four million dollars daring his twelve months' stay
with us."

{ Letter from General Longstreet,
The New Orleans Republican publishes the fol
f lowing letter from General LONGSTREET. The Re?
public JU chums that the General bas taken his
stand upon the platform of their party, and con?
siders that the Democracy have lost all of then
vitality, and that with the surrender of General
T.v-n! nothing remained to the South bat to accept
the situation :
NEW ORLEANS. May 16,1867.
Genf red Janies Longstreet:
GENERAL-In your admirable letter of the 6th
ultimo you remark that "our efforts at reconstruc?
tion will be vain and useless unless we embark in
the enterprise with the sincerity of purpose which
will command success."
The spirit which inspired the above paragraph,
together with the fact that thousands of brave sol?
diers are still ready to follow their leader wherever
he may see flt to call them, bas emboldened me to
extend, to you an invitation to attend a mass meet?
ing in Lafayette square to-morrow evening, at
which the -ion. Henry Wilson, a distingu?an ed
leader in tho Republican party, will address the
atizona of New Orleans.
I As soldiers, we were opposed to each . * dur?
ing the late war ; but as citizens, may we not wise?
ly unite in efforts to restore Louisiana to her
former position in tho Union through the party
now in power, and which in all probability will re?
tain power for many years to come ? If yon an?
ce )t, I shall be glad to hear your views on the con?
dition of public affairs.
^spectrally yours, etc.,
JOHN M. G. PARKER.
NEW ORLEANS, LA., June 3,1867.
J. M. G. PARKER, Esq.
My Bear Sir-Your esteemed favor of the 15th
nit., was duly received. I was much pleased to
have the opportunity to hear Senator Wilson, and
was agreeably surprised to meet such fairness and
frankness in a politician whom I have been taight
to believe uncompromisingly opposed to the white
people of the South.
^ I have maturely considered your suggestion to
"wisely unite in efforts to restore Louisiana to her
former position in the Union, through the party
now in power,'* My letter of the -6th of April, to
which you refer, coady indicates a desire for pr ac?
tical reconstruction and reconciliation. Practical
men can surely distinguish between practical re?
construction and reconstruction as an abstract
question. I will endeavor, however, with renewed
energy, to meet your wishes in the matter. The
serious difficulty that I apprehend is the want of
that wisdom w doh is necessary for the great work.
I shall be happy to work in any harness that prom?
lees relief to our distressed people, and harmony
to the nation. It matters sot whether I bear the
mantle of. Mr, Davis or the mantle of Mr. Sumner,
BO that X may help to.bring the glory of "peace
and good-will toward men,"
I shall set out by assuming a proposition that I
hold to be soLt-evidoat, vis : The highest of human
laws ia tho law that ia established by appeal to
arms.
The great principles that divided political parties
prior to the war were thoroughly discussed hy ont |
wisest statesmen. When argument was exhausted
resort was had to compromise. When compromise
?was unavailing, discussion was renewed, and expo?
nents were sought, bnt none ooulu bo found to suit
the emergency. Appeal waa finally made to the
sword, to determine which ?f "ie claims, was the
true construction of constitutional law.. The
sword has decided in favor of tba North, and what
they claiined as principles cease to be principles,
ana are become law, The views that we hold
cease to be principles because they are opposed to
law. It is therefore our duty to abandon ideas
that are obsolete and conform to the requirements
of law.
'The military bill, and amendments, are peace
offerings. We should accept them as such, and
place ourselves upon them as the starting point
from which to-meet future political issues ls they
arise.' ?
Like other Southern men, I naturally sought al?
liance with the Democratic party, merely ..ecanse
it was opposed to the Republican party* But as
far as loan Judge, there is nothing tangible about
it, except the issues that were staked upon the
war. and there lost Finding nothing to. take hold
of except prejudice, which cannot be work', d into
good for any one, it ia proper. andi right that I
should seek some standpoint from which, goo d maj
be done. ? - '
If I appreciate the principles of the Democratic
party, its prominent features oppose. the enfran?
chisement of tho colored man, and deny the right to
legislate upon the suaject of suffrage, except by
the States individually. These two features have
a tendency to exclude Southern men from that
party ; for the colored man is already oafran?hiaed
nere, and we panno! Meek alliance-with a party
that would Eeetiapt his right?; The exclusivo right
of the States to legislate upon suffrage will make
the enfranchisement of the blacks, whether for
better or for worse, a fixture among ns. It ap?
pears, therefore, that those who cry loudest against
thia new order ot things as a public .calamity, are
Ouma,?boee principles would fix it unou.ua with?
out a remedy. Hence it becomes us to insist that
suffrage be extended in all of tho States, and tully
tested, rhe people of the North should adopt
what'they have forced upon ns ; and if it be prov?
ed to be a mistake, they should remove it by the
pemedj under Republican principles of uniform
laws upon suffrage.
If every man iu tho country will meet the crisis
with a proper appreciation of our condition, and
come fairly up to his responsibilities, on- turnor,
row the sun Will smile upon a happy people} our
flddswill again b/?g?i to yield their increase; our
railroads and rivers will teem with abundant com?
merce: our towns and cities will resound.with the
tumult pf trade, and we shall be invigorated by
the blossings of Almighty God.
I am, sir, very respectfully,
Your most obedient servant,
JAMES LONGSTREET,
A Dangerous Kateaay to tfet Wheat Crop.
We learned, yesterday morning, from a gentle?
man who bas had much experience in agricultural
matters, both iu this State and in the North, that
"weevil." one of the most destructive enemies
which the wheat plant has met in the North, has
made ils appearance in the wheat fields in tho
vicinity of this city. ' . . M J
It is a small insect, at first yellow in color, bnt
which afterwards becomes black, and can be found
in the head, under the chaff, next to where the
grain is attached to the stalk.. It sucks the sap
from tho grain, causes it to wither, and, for tho
time, to present the appearance of haying been
picked by bird?. This insect first made its
appearance in thif country in the State of
Vermont, about forty years ago. For sev?
eral years its ravages were confined to
the region of country north of Lake Champlain,
but it finally crossed this body of water, ana got
into the Qenessee Talley, in New York, one of the
finest Wheat-growing sections in thcUnited States,
where its ravages have been sp destructive that
the farmers ju that valley and surrounding coun?
try have been compelled to abandon the culture of
wheat entirely. For the last three or four years
an attempt was made to raise wheat in that coun?
try, but not enough was produced to furnish bread
for the inhabitants. The farmers there hope to
get rid of it by raising no wheat for several years,
lu Vermont, also, the culture of wheat has beon
entirely abandoned on account of the ravages of
this insect,
i he gentleman from whom we obtained our in?
formation, yesterday, thinks that his own crop bas
been damaged fully twenty-five per cent, by wee?
vil, Thus far it has only attacked the forward
wheat, there being no indication of it on that sown
late. It is supposed that it has been brought here
in seed brought from the North last fall,
.'ibis is a new enemy to the wbe t in thia section
ol country, not having been heard of here before.
The only variety of "weevil" known here is an in*
sect that attacks corn and wheat when kept in
garners for a length of time. It is to be deplored
that now, .when the prospect for a good wheat
crop is so promising, that uns enemy should have
made its appearance. We can only nope that its
ravages may be less disastrous than is now feared.
[Richmond Examiner, June 8.
The Dlmensiona of our New Territory.
In a brief notice of Mr. Sumner'? speech upsn
the Russian purchase, yesterday, the area of tho
new acquisition was stated at Ave hundred and
seventy thousand square miles, with a shore lino
of four thousand roues. If the islands and bays
are taken into the estimate, the coast line is be?
tween eleven and twelve thousand miloB long.
That is, our Pacific coast is now much more than
twice as long as it was before the pur.-hase.
With regard to area, a few com pansons may
give us clearer ideas of our bargain. Russian
America is sixty-five and a half times as large as
Massachusetts; between eight and niuo times as
large au all New England; twelve times as large as
New York; nine times aa large as Virginia; twice as
largo as Texas; twice as large as the French em?
pire; or between six and seven times as large as
the isla d of Great Britain. It is considerably
larger than all the New England States, Nen York,
Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey, Maryland,
Virginia, North and South Carolina, Florida, Ala?
bama and -Mississippi together.
Of the islands on the coast. Admiralty is very
nearly the size of Long Island. St. Lawrence, Nun
ivack and Oonimak are a little smaller, and Kodiak
is larger by fourteen hundred and fifty square
miles. There are several sounds, straits and bays
which havo from twice to twenty-five times the ex?
tent of Long Island Sound. The river Youcon is
believed, on pretty good grounds, lo be five times
as long as our Hudson, and as far as it bas been
explored is voiy nearly as wide as the Mississippi.
The poninsula of Alaska is about one-third as
large as Florida.
THE New York.Times, refer?ing to General
SICKLES, says :
The true principle to be acted upon by the mili?
tary commanders at the South is unquestionably
that which recognizes tho supremacy of civil au?
thority, and confines the action of the military to
cases specifically pointed out in tho recon?
struction acts or arieing out of the bod faith
or bud judgment of the civil officers. On
this basis, all that is essential for carrying
out the will of Congress and securing the civil and
political equality of the freedmen, may be accom?
plished without obtruding the presence and power
of the soldier save in exceptional instances. Gen.
Sickles appears to entertain a different idea of
duty. His orders reveal a disposition to reverse
the proper relations of tho powers, and make the
military the ever-present master, instead of the
ever-ready assistant, of civil authority.
The Pitcairn Islanders, descendants, as most of
our readers will remember, of the mutineers of
t.ie British ship Lounty, several years ?go, were
removed by government to Norfolk leland, where,
however, they are not satisfied, alleging that the
government has not kept faith with them. So we
I leam from the Sydney (Australia) Empire.

MW TO THE PUBLIC-THE JEWISH CON?
GREGATION {Beriih Shalom) was organized in this city
about ten yean ago, and for temporary purposes con?
structed a small building near the corner of St Phillp
and Calhoun streets. In this humble House of God they
have ever since worshipped. It was their design from
the c - mm en cement to accumulate funds toward erecting
a larger edifice, mora commodious, and more in conso?
nance with th* wants of the present age. But their
savings wen aU swept away by the war, ?nd nearly three
thousand dollars, set apart for this purpose, wen thus
lost
The new house of worship is much needed, then being
constant applications from new memb rs, but no room
to accommodate them. The serries of this congre se?
tt on an conducted In the German (almost Identic*! with
the Poliah! Minhag. And this ls the only synagogue in
Charleston in which Israelites from Continental Eur - po
eau wonhlp the God of their fathers in precisely the
same forms, language and ceremonies aa their fore?
fathers did.
l hey are, however, too poor to carry out such an en?
terprise unaided. They have the ground for the new
evnagogue, but not the means to construct the building.
They therefore solicit assistance from their brethren and I
friends everywhere ; both from those of the House of |
Israel, and from all others, of whatever faith or nation ;
believing that the Great Author of aO good will prompt I
many to step forward, and help them in this their time
of need. They an extra TI ely solicitous to finish their
new balding before next Beat Saihanah (September

worshippers, far befand the capacity of the present small

[GENERAL OBSESS No. 36.]
It appears from sundry (petitions and official repre?
sentations that the present scanty supply of food in tho
Carolinas ls serionaly dinuniahel by the largs quantity
of grato consumed to numerous distilleries, put ap and
worked In defiance of the revenus laws of the United
States ; it hi reprss nted that tow or none of the require?
ments of law are observed to any of these establishments ;
that th? officers of the internal revenue service, while
endeavoring to assess sndoellect the whiskey tax, are
frequently treated with disaespeot, and sometimes
menaced with violence; and that when offenders are
prosecuted to the civil courts, and violations of th? ia*
tamal revenue law? indisputably proved, jurie? fall to
convict the parties ; it la further shown that this un?
lawful traffic makes food dearer to places where largs
numbers are depending upon public and private bounty;
that the Government is, asides, defrauded of a large
amount of revenue ; that the authority of ita civil officers
ls brought toto contempt ; and furthermore, that the
mischief complained of tends to increase poverty, dis?
order and crime ; therefore, to the exercise of th? au?
thority vaated in th? Commanding General, it is ordered
that
L The distillation or manufacture of whiskey or other
spirits from grain, is prohibited m thia Military District
Any person so sngagsd oe employed will be deemed guil?
ty of a misdemeanor. The possession of a still, or other
apparatus for this purpose, will be considered presump?
tive evidence of a violation of the Revenue Laws, and the
patty or parties using the same, or on whose prends., s,
or in whose possession the same may be found, will be
arrested and brought to trial before a military tribunal
composed of the Commanding O ticer of the Post and
two officers of the army, next in rank on duty within the
terr.tonlal limits of the Post If th? exigencies of the
service do not permit the detail of other officers, that
fact will be duly certified and the Post Commander will
hear and determine the case.
LL The penalties, punishments and forfeitures pre?
scribed by the severaf acta of Congress for die tilling or
manufacturing whiskey or other spirits In violation of
tie revenue tews will be imposed and executed by the
military tribunals hereby authorized.
UL No sentence extending to imprisonment, forfeiture
of stills, liquor or other property, or the imposition of a
