Tallow advanced Sd. Washington News. WASHINGTON. Jone 13.-The formation of the Jory for SUBBATT'S trial is progressing. The panel will most probably be completed to-day. The Intelligencer of this morning, which is now regarded as the Ex ecu.ive organ, has the follow? ing : "We have authority for the statement that, at a very recent consultation of the Cabinet, it was decided that the military officers in command of the five Districts, into which the ten unreconstruct? ed Southern States are divided, hare no power to remore civil offi'era deriving their au? thority from the State governments as now organized. The question, we understand, before tho Cabinet, bael more immediate reference to th? removal' of the Governor and other civil omoars of Louisiana by General SHERIDAN, but of course will also apply to the action of the other four Commanders. No doubt the forthcoming opinion of the Attorney-General, in accordance j with the reasoning of which it is understood the decision referred to was arrived at, will fully justify the legality and propriety of this determination. I It scarcely need be suggested that the issuing ol ordere replacing the deposed officers (which may become necessary as a consequence of this de cisi?n of the j Government), would be no ground for an application on the part of I General SH uart)AN to be relieved from the position he holds. Much lees would it warrant the infer- I enc a that the Administration contemplates or de sires his removal for his errors. We feel author- I ized to say that the specula lions of sensational journals upon this point, however they they.may I be attempted to be supported by the imagined po li ti cal manee uvros on the part of either the friends or the enemies of the General, are without foun It is almost certain that the acts of the District ll Commanders, wherein they have transcended the authority of the law, will be reversed, and the pow- I er of Provisional Government be res tored, [ and the functionaries of Provisional Governments will hereafter only be removed by court martial or by [ aot of Congress. Thia ia the decision of the Cabi j net, BTANTOS only dissenting by silence. A proba- j bte r?signation of District Commanders, under I these i et er sos and restraints, was discussed. Such I action waa apprehended and deplored. The point was made, however, that these District Command ors were soldiers on duty, and however unpleasan t tho du ty, they cannot abandon their posts.

Miss RAVXNXL'S CONVERSION FBOM SECESSION TO J AXTT. By J. W. DeForest, author of "European quain tance," ".Seacliff, etc, etc. Mew York: Ha st Brothers, 1887. For sale by Mesara. E. J. Dav & Co., Ciarles ton. From the title it will be inferred that this is i of the war novels whiob for the last two or tb years have been infesting the book shops. So upon reading, we found it to be; bnt yet not the ordinary class heretofore printed in Harp Weekly and Monthly Magazines. Mr. DEFOBEI is not a stup;d book. On the contrary, it ie ma ed with considerable ability. The plot is so v simple that we are almost tempted to assert tl there is an entire absence of all plot. It is a nar tire, unbroken almost from beginning to end, the adventures of Dr. RAVENEL, a native of Bot I Carolina, bat long a resident of New Orleans, wi at the beginning of the war, fled to the North, 1 cause he waa an abolitionist and a Union man. ] daughter ITTJ.TK accompanied him. She is a cosaioniet, "so-sailed," but infect cannot be said have had any political principles, and but lit knowledge of the questions at issue. She is g< ernod by impulse, and easily led by those aroa her ; sud could have been converted to Baddhii or Islam perhaps quite as easily as to loyalty, j The exiles went to the State of Baratria. and i sided at New Boston, the seat of Winslow U; versity. Connecticut, New Haven and Yale, w be readily recognized by the reader through tl thin disguise. There the RAVKNELS beear acquainted with two young men, Capt. CAST; and Mr. COLBUBNE. The former is s Virginian, a good old family, ? graduate of West Point, ai what Dr. RAVENEL with holy horror denominate "a man about town," meaning drinking, ewearin gambling, not paying his tailor's bills, ka. M Co LB URNE is ft model of ? New Englander of tl better class-we beg pardon-we scarcely kno how to express ourselves in view of the intent 'doctrines of equality pervading that latitud where every man is as good ss every other man, not better. However, COLBUBNE waa an excellei young man ; he is the true hero of the story ; th pink of ' perfection ; ?model for ?ll striving an aspiring youths ; very much of & milksop, howeve and right glad to be rewarded at last even with second-hand wife. Both young men were in loi with Miss RAVENEL at the same time ; she cho* CABTXB, the gay and dashing Virgin! West Point Colonel, who fought on tl loyal side, because, it is alleged, he deeme it to his interest so to do. The Colonel made passable husband; for although' he would somi times get very drunk, our author never charge him with going to bed in his boots. But, bk ULYSSES, he went to sea in a ship, and, like thi wily King of Ithaca, he was ensnared by ano tin Calypso, in the charming form of Mrs. LABUE, moat fascinating New Orleans French Creole, th cousin of Lillie, and-PENELOPE was forgot toi After their return to Louisiana bom Waahingtoi where ULYSSES has. been seeking a brigadiorshij but finding it not,' one of CALYPSO'S letters wa found by PENELOPE'S father, and ultimately fell int the hands of the virtuous neglected wife hersel Fainting, indignation, kc., separation, return t New Boston. ULYSSES is conveniently killed in battlei soon after; and then comes once moro o: the stage, our spooney Baratrarian hero, Coi BURNE , behaving alt through in the moat ri dieu ioualy absurd manner, and on the last page of th book marries tho "convorted" lady. 9o much for the plot and for the story. How ft to the motive and the execution. Although on author makes a large parade of godliness, there i a total absence of charity all through his volume Bil pen ia dipped in venom, and if bad blood cai be 'stirred up by a novel, he may fairly la; claim to the honor of having done his bes to bring about such ? recruit. Uncle Ibm', Cabin, in its day, .was considered a grosi libel upon the Booth, but in this respect ii foll far short of the work before ns. Mrs. STOWE'S novel ia a work of art, and, with all tts bitterness presents here and there many ft redeeming feature of Southern life and character ; while hero we har? i mere party pamphlet, written in the usual style ind violent invective of partisan literature. The book, in fact, Judged by the severer cano PB ol arit?cism cannot be considered a work of art at all. Art ia prostatated when it is attempted to press tier into service as a. party hack. A co temporary, summing up a "notico" of this novel, remarks : "We will not do th? ftbthor Ct this book tho injus? tice of supposing that he was quite,foolish enough to publish it at bia own expense. We infer there? fore that it has -been brought ont under the luspicea of one of those ..enlightened and philan? thropies! Tract Societies which abound in the NorttuTj -j,; \ . ??i?i;/jiii,t)lij jjjjj Dr. RAVENEL is made the mouthpiece of all the rituperation against tho South; and .had the au? thor really - knower what he was writing about, he xi old not have conceived such a character. In fact, to all intents and purposes, this model loyal? st e xile is neither more nor less than a cynical old tool. We are criticised in our manners, our mor? tis, our larignage, in fact contrasted In e very thing with New England, and such contrast, of course always results to our disadvantage. The author himself is, however, not entirely faultless in taste; fax from it; delicacy is not one of his weaknesses. Take, fox instance, the following sentence: "The young lady listened, to the Doctor's story of hui self-imposed exile, andr to Iiis sarcasms upon the people of her native city, with certain pretty little s tarte'and sniffs Of disapprobation, which remind? ed COLBUBNE of the counterfeit spittings of a kit? ten playing ango.." ?Dr. RAVENEL constantly speaks of Louisiana as Ashantee, and styles their language Ashantee Knglish. Mr. DEFOREST is eiiher a physician or a professor, or both., He makes frequent use of technical terms of medi? cine, chemistry, etc, and the entire book is inter? larded., wi th college campus and' army phrases. An old lady is thus drawn: "Thin-lipped, hollow cheeked, narrow-chested, with only one lung, and an intermittent digestion, Ac." "Even her smile was a wofnl phenomenon, it seemed to be rather a symptom of pain than an expression of pleasure; it was a kind of griping smile, like that of an infant with the colic." This lack of good taste pervades the entire volume. So on the next page we have this questionable metaphor: "He could no more talk and he merry than could that hermaphrodite soul, whose lean body.and cadaverous countenance fronted him on the opposite side of the table." , . If the book is a temperance tract, we can under? stand why so much pains is taken to describe drunken orgies in all their disgusting details. Dozens of times all through the novel, the author enlarges upon this his favorite theme. He tells us how many drinks CASTES or VON ZANDT took from morning till night, and what those drinks were ; also, not njofrequently, what they cost, or, if stolen, which rebel's claret or Ota rd it waa. i hen wo have a pre-RAPHAELXTE description of the conversation, -looks, ?kc, ?kc, of these drunken sots. "All very edifying, certainly in one of Mr. COUGH'S temperance lectures, but altogether use? less andnut of taste in a work of art like the one under consideration. Then, we' are told, Dr. HA VENU, "did not fancy the bacchanalian New Orleans type of gent iii ty, having observed that it frequently brought itself, and its wife and children to grief." Onl. uoing acquainted with "Ashantee" Eng? lish, ve i re frequently at a loss to understand the " WINSLOW" English of our author ; as when he says, speaking of young ladies in college towns always flirting with students : " Perhaps by this time she is really attached to him ; and that, er habit, or her original taste for romance and, strangers, gives her a cant for life ; she never flirts with anything but a student afterwards ; can't rel? ish a man who has'nt a flavor of Greek and Latin." What horrid people those Ashantee Louisianians were, may be inferred from the following : "In smelling of wine and segare," says the author, speaking of CASTES, "he had an odor of Louisiana, to which she (Misa R.) bad been accustomed from childhood, even in the grave society of her father's choice, and which was naturally grateful to the home-sick sensibilities of the exiled girl." Next follows a passage of Baratrarian English : "At this moment she entered the room and kissed him with more than ordinary effusion.'' Of Louisian? ians '^lodging their sacred honor," Dr. RAVENEL delivers himself thus : "It surpasses all the jokes of JOE MILLEE. TO think of those whiskey-soaked, negro-whipping, manslaughtering, ruffians, with a bottle of Louisiana rum in one hand and a c tt-o' nine-tails in the other, drunken, swearing, gamb? ling, depraved as Satan, with their black wives and mulatto children,-to think of such nunans pra? ting about their sacred honor," etc., etc And again : "In the country districts, when a young fellow is paying attention to a young lady, the pa? rents don't ask whether he is in the habit of get CHARLESTON, S, ting drank; they take that for granted, and only concern themselves to know whether he gets cross tlrunk or amiable-drunk. If the former, they have some hesitation, if the latter, they consent to the match thankfully." And here is the doom: "Their slave-holding Sodom will perish for the lack of five just men or a just idea." [Dr. R. deserted Sodom, not caring to inquire whether four more just men might not have been found-he left New Orleans when it was in peril, after it had fed and clothed and honored him and his for thirty years 1] "It must be razed and got out of the way, like any other obstacle to the progress of humanity. It must make room for something more consonant with the railroad, electric telegraph, printing press, inductive philosophy, and practical Christ? ianity." We have marked many passages all through the book, but our space forbids our continuing these running comments. Suffice it to say, that either Mr. DE FOREST was ignorant of his subject, knew little of Southern life and character, or of negroes, and therefore should not have entered upon what purports to be a minute portraiture ; or, if he is not thus ignorant, the only alternative is, that he wilfully and maliciously traduced the whole white population of the South. It is no excuse for him to say that he disclosed weaknesses, wherever he found them; that he inveighs against derelict Federal Generals, speculating quartermasters, time-serving, wire-pulling Black Republican Gover? nors, cowardly officers, and pothouse soldiers and politicians. For the truth of all these allegations, we are disposed to give him fall credit, instigated as he no doubt was to the revelation by personal .motives. It is otherwise with the indictment we Dring against him. He ignorantly or deliberately falsified all that we had of best or noblest. With the one exception of Miss R., the heroine, who is a namby-pamby, ignorant, pert and vulgar girl, but meant to representa splendid specimen of] Southern society, every other Southern woman is either a female Satan, like Mrs. LABUE, or else she is "oursing and swearing," "scowling like a fiend,' etc, otc. Why the book was written, if it had any higher aim than to put money in tho author's pocke t, we have not yet been able to learn. It cannot be to do good, for we can seo no possible benefit that can accrue to any one from the perusal of this tale of conversion. But we incline to think titillation was the real object. "The Yankees are a great people"-this is the burden of the song. New Englanders, we are given to understand, fought this war, and beat the rebels. Germans are never named, and Irishmen only once for the purpose of a joke; and such fighting as these Barbarians were capable of 1 Near Port Hudson there was a Yankee fort held by about one hundred and fifty men, in? cluding camp followers and negroes, and protected by an insignificant stockade. ThiB the moral, New England, temperance hero of our novel defended successfully against two brigades of Texans, killing twice as many men as he commanded, and also capturing the same number. H The Southern battle yell is full of howls and yelpings as of brute beasts, rushing hilariously to the tray," while the " loyal" yell ia " all human, but none the less relentless and stern I" Is not this edifying to the little Sunday School children in all Baratraria? So again the story of a negro and a rebel aiming at, shooting and killing each other, the last words of the former being " God I' and the rebel dying with "damnation" in his mouth. But enough. The Yankees have gained a great victory ; they have not yet recovered from the surprise, and they are now looking about for suitable heroes, to place into the niches bf the temple of fame. " Captain COLBTJRNE" is one of ? these ' candida tea. ? Whether or not his career is either in whole or lu part an autobiography, it is not our business to inquire. The hook is written with considerable "smart? ness," abounding in cynical and satirical remarks, some of them witty and pointed, although not true. Thero is plenty of epigram all through the work. But we solemnly protest against having NeW England pro vi ncialisms put into the mouth B of Southern characters, and then have some other Yankee purist come, and put it down to " Ashan? tee.'" Our educated people here never say : " Feel of this ;" though the Professors of WINSLOW are j sometimes guilty of it. RELIEF FOR THE DESTITUTE IN SOUTH CAROLINA It is pleasing, during the present depression, to note that in all sections, and among all parties North, there is the same feeling of sympathy ex-, pressed for their Southern brethren. The em? ployees in the United States Treasury Office, at New York, hare recently raised a contribution among themselves for the destitute of the South, and have requested WM. GILMORE SIKHS, Esq., to act aa their almoner. The foUpwiug is the corres? pondence between the donors and Dr. Sums : UNITED STATES THEAS ?BT, ) NEW YORE, May 81,1867. J DEAS SIB : Enclosed you will please find a cer? tificate of deposit for $315.00, being the contribu? tion of the officers and employees of this office, for the relief of their destitute brethren of the South. As the contributors are desirous that the "widow's mite" should be productive of all the good possible, I respectfully request, in their name, that you will give the distribution your per? sonal supervision. Very respectfully, W. HAWKINS FERRIS. W. GILMORE Soots, Esq., Charleston, 8. 0. WOODLANDS, S. C., June 8,1867. Mr DSAB SIB: I am sensibly touched hythe compliment paid me by yourself and the officers and employees of the Treasury Department of New York. Personally acquainted with most of them as I am, and long since made sensible of | their worth and general intelligence, through re? peated association abd kindness to myself, it is grateful to think that I possess their confidence. I have received the certificate of deposit for $315, their and your contribution, whioh you have sent me, and, perfectly well taught in the necessities of our people, I have promptly proceeded to its dis? tribution, m snob manner as I have thought best, and in full exercise of the discretion which you have accorded me. You speak of it as the "widow's mite," and the hint thus given has been a guide to my appropriation of it. Our country is filled with widows and with orphans. Among these there are thousands who never clamor about their privations, wino suffer and are silent! But it is impossible wholly to conceal the fact that ?bey do suffer. 1 have applied your hand? some donation almost wholly to this class of per? sons in our country districts-my own especially and all of them, and their circumstances, are wholly within my knowledge. Most of them are persons who have been habitually ind?pendant, freo of care, accustomed to indulgence, living in comfort if not in the enjoyment or absolute afflu? ence. Many of them now are not merely destitute of help and the attendance of ordinary sorvants, but, as I believe, suffer from a want of the gimpiest and most wholesome food. Your dona? tion will be made to relieve from much privation; will afford comforts to revive an exhausted nature; to encourage a rapidly declining hope, to say noth? ing O?A faltering faithl What I say of the few of whom I speak is, I am sad to say, the truth as re? spects our whole country. And I see no prospect of change or relief, The South, unless the Govern? ment shall rise to that highest wisdom in Govern? ment, which is Tnagnanimily, is destined to be die incubus of the union. The wisdom of Gov? ernment can only be shaped by the morals of society. If your people, gonerally, could feel as those do who, like yourselvos, aro prepared to recognize humanity, irrespective of politics and party, there would be no difficulty. But I muBt not trespass upon a doubtful province. It is not to be denied to me, however, that, in the present aspect of the country, I should despond, my better nature prompts me etill to hopo. You will be so good as to say to my friends ana yours, your associates, that their "widow'B mite," in my hands, Bhall not bo wasted; and you may assure them alao that its good will be gratefully felt and frankly acknowledged; and, under Scripture assur? ances, you may add that the compensative returnB, in blessings, will certainly reach them after "cer? tain dayB." It will be always grateful to me to serve my people as tho agent of such generous friends as ttiose whom you so honorably represent. Very respectfully, Your obedient and obliged servant, W. GIL vlORE SIMMS. W. HAWKINS FERRIS, Esq., U. S. Treasury, New York. THE CHICAGO Times says: "KELLEY has return? ed to Philadelphia, and has boen received by his friends. He does not proclaim, as WILSON did, that all mankind ir '">*? South, white as well as black, are going to voto -o Jacobin ticket. The inference is that he has some doubts on that point. Tho only point concerning which he seemB to feel positive is, that A. JOHNBON was the author of the Mobile riot. The riot, ho says, waa premedi? tated; who is capable of premeditating anything to disturb the equanimity of loyal men, except A. JOHNSON? A. JOHNSON, says KELLEY, appointed a recreant Northerner to a post of profit in Mobile; of course A.
