VOLUME IV.NO. 534. CHARLESTON, S. C., TUESDAY MORNING, M>Y 7, 1867. PRICE FIVE CENTS. TELEGRAPHIC. Washington News. WASHINGTON-, August 23_lt is said the ram Stonewall put into Norfolk in a sinking condition. In crossing a flooded cieek near herc, a stage upset and three ladies were drowned. President Buchanan is recovering. Stevens is reported as becoming alarmingly feeble. The military authorities aro arming tho citizens in tho vicinity of Fort Sedgwick for the protection of the post. Tho cholera is ? aging among the Seminoles. Denver papers say Forts Keno and Kearney are besieged. The cholera is reported malignant at Shawnee Town, Illinois. The Internal Revenue Roceipts today amount to $575,000. A train on tho Annapolis Railroad wont itito a culvert, killing tho engineer, fireman and a boy. Several passengers were injured, and the train took fire. The Turkish Ambassador .was officially pre? sented to the President to-day. The Cabinet was in session from 12 to 2 o'clock. The pressure on the President for Cabinet changea, is increasing. Tho following is repre? sented aa the conclusion of Sickles* argument, supporting his order Number 10 : "If the United States Courts in the re ba". States be allowed to control the military authority, the execution of the Reconstruction Acts will, for ob? vious reasons, soon become impossible. Somo of these Courts will begin by declaring the Acts of Congress void." The following statement in relation to Gen. Sickles' Order No. 10, and the Executive order thereupon, will correct current misapprehension. "On the 14th instant, the instructions sent to General Sickles, excepting United States Courts from the operation of military orders were sus? pended until his report and views upon the matter could be received. On the 17th the Commanding Officer of Wilmington reported that the Attoroey General had instructed the Marshal of North Carolina to proceed to enforce executions of the United States Court, threatening prosecution against persons preventing him. Instructions were issued to Cel. Frank at Wilmington by Gen. Sickles, not to permit the order of any Court tc Oe enforced in violation of existing military orders, and to report fully upon cases pending. These occurrences having been reported to the War De? partment, tho instructions originally sent to Gon. Sickles have been withdrawn." Registration in North Carolina. ^WXXJKXVOTON, August 23.-Registered to-day: whites, 68; colored, 56. Total in Third Ward for twO days : 1S5 whites to 223;colored. EThe Republi? cans are becoming alarmed lest a negro ahouid bo ?looted Mayor of this eity. The Southern whites are denounced because they did not register. Northern men, who are Conservatives, begin to ace that, without a Southern party of moderate views, the State must be given np to negro domi? nation. Northern mea here admit that the whites must now yield to negro suffrage, but that the negro race, like the Indians, must give place to the superior intelligence of the white man. The intelligent Radicals here do not pretend to insist that the blacks ought to be invested with tho rights which are accorded to thom by the domi? nant party. The Indian War. ST. LOUIS, August 13.-Rumors are afloat that the Kansas militia are cat off from Fort Hayes. GOT. Baker, of Nebraska, bas just returned from Che Big Blue, and reports eleven men killed, twenfy-four horses stolen, and fifty-four farm houses deserted.

MIL: TIA OPFICXBS NOT ENTITLED ro VOTE.-We publish for general information the following "circtlar" : HEADQUARTERS MILITARY POST OF DARLINGTON, ? DABLLNGTON, S. C., August 15, 1867. j [Circular to Boards of Registration.} I ara instructed by the Major-General command? ing tc? inform you thr.t officers of the militia upon whom devolved the execution ot the patrol laws or other general laws relating to the domestic order of th* State and the government of slaves therein, having hereby assumed and performed civil func? tions, are deemed civil officers within the meaning of the Acts of Congress, and any such officer hav? ing afterwards taken part in the rebellion or who aided or abetted persons engaged in rebellion, is excluded from registration aB a voter. H. S. HAWKINS. Captain 6th Infantry Commanding. Wo are free to confess that the thread of the ar? gument is too finely spun for our comprehension. , The class of persons thus disfranchised wero j State m?it?ry officers; their duties were embraced in what was known as the militia law ; they wcro I as essentially military duties as are the duties of ? picket. It is a construction excessively strained, by which this large class of citizens, some of whom held commissions fifty years ago are, excluded from the privilege of voting. But why argue. "The laws of Medea and Per? sians alter not."- Donington Soutlurner. The Tallahassee (Fla.) Sentinel says: "Ono day last week a white woman, barefooted, passed om office, carrying a bag of meal on her shoulder. 8he was leading a beautiful calf, about a year old, on whose back was saddled ?another bag of meal. The calf seemed as tractable as a pointer dog, fol? lowing its leader without tightening the string. The woman's face wore an expression which said, resolutely and cheerfully, 'I accept the situation.' Here is a picture for you, drones and loafers of the masculine gender ! That woman will be 're? constructed' now long before some of you.' THE SOUTH CAROLINA RAILROAD. To the Editor of the Charleston Daily Neus : A writer in your issuo of tho 16th permits his light to shino from Athens, Ga., but ho is evidently under bilious influences, and as a consequence, ho says a groat many things which are only asser? tions, without proper authority therofor, fer ho does not produce evidence. This is to bo regretted, because great injustice is dono by theso ill natur? ed scribblings against a corporation, which under very' considerable difficulties has done some service to this city, it cannot but bo admitted; and if it is not possible for it to furnish velvet cushions and damask curtains for tho accommodation of its nicht travel, which statistics show amount ou an average to threo persons per train-it should bo a subject of regret, but as wo aro living in a community whore a good many of us, who had luxuries in the past, now must forego thom, it should not bo matter of surpriso, that the S. C. R. R., 'which lost heavily by tho "great march," should not at this timo, be any better off than most of the peoplo who went through tho same melting process in 1865. But there is an evident willingness in A. B. C's lettar, perhaps from igno? rance, to give circulation to tho slanders which interested parties are forever making against this company. He says hi i " bilo rises,1' &c, at being told that it is a " tortoise line," when he could have takon the schedules for freight and passenger trains, and by a comparison with other Southern roads, denied the statement without much effort, even if the thermometer was 95 degrees. Again some one says, that it is <: utterly behind the times." What is moant by this, it is hard to say, for if any Rail? road, which was in ruins in 1865, can show a bet? ter resuscitation in two year than the ti. C. R. R., with the moans available for tho gigantic work to be done, wo would like to have tho facts, and will admit tho allegation to be true. But when we look around for examples, wo find none so "up to the age " as this much abused 8. C. Railroad. Compare the work on the?. C. R. E. from July,1865, to February, 1866, and then soo what has been done on the Charleston and Savannah Railroad for a similar period of time -sar from the dato of tho sale, some months ago, to this time-and the comparison must satisfy unprejudiced minds that the South Carolina Railroad stands pre-eminent for the success of its past two years' administration. This writer, in tho very agony of his indigna? tion, cries " Shame ! shame 1" but we have heard this same cry raised against some of our first business houses, because they charged the current rate-1$ per cont, a month. We hare heard other houses denounced for various aots of omission and commission too numerous to mention, but we do not think less of them on this account, perhaps for the reason that they manage their bnsinoss a good deal as the South Carolina Railroad manages theirs-to make money to meet their obligations. And we doubt very much if any of the so-callod "go ahead, up to tho age" gentlemen would appreciate the situation if every? body demanded of them what publio clamor de? mands of the South Carolina Railroad-that they should work for nothing and pay their own ex? penses. We do not know who "A. B. C." is, but his pro? miscuous charge against "certain officers of the South Carolina Railroad," .cc., is puerile and un becor.'jg, unless it is based on facts, equal to '"proof to conviction." Unless such a statement is laid at once before tho Board of Directors, of the 8, C. B. R. Co., with names and specifications, this attack can be with great justice branded as a slander. The writer tells us in conclusion that six persons were going North, via Atlanta, and none coming this way, but he does not mern tion that he took any pains to show them that they were making a very circuitous route in so doing, and hence we infer that it was a pleasure for bim to s?e them journeying ia that direction. X. Y. Z. LETTER OF GENERAL POPE. The following is General POPE'S letter to General GRANT, which has been awaiting pubhjeatjon for several days, but been crowded out till now bv a press of other matter: HEADQUARTERS, '. HIRD MILITARY DISTRICT, I GEORGIA, ALABAMA AXD FLORIDA, j ATLANTA, GA,, July 24, 1867.--G?nerai .-I have the honor to send enej?se 1 a newspaper contain? ing a speech made in this city by, 15. H. Hill, of j this State, late a Senator in tho rebel Congress. This person, only a fow weeks since, waa pardoned by the President, and in commoE with almost every pardoned rebel, this is the uso he makes of the clemency of the Government. You can readily see, from tb,o speech itself, the character of the man, who is the representative of a largo class, and the hopelessness of any satisfactory recon? struction cf the Southern States, while such men retain influence. It has been and will continue to be my course tty permit and encourage the widest latitude of speech and of the pres? in this District consistent with the btw and the public peace. I do not include among those who are permitted to exercise this latitude of speech the civil officers of the Provi? sional State Governments already prohibited by my orders from "using any influence whatever to deter or di-suado Che people from taking an active part in reconstructing their State Governments under the Reconstruction Acts. No such advan? tage as the usu of the machinery of the existing State Governments ought to be or will be given to the Antirieeonstruction party. I consider it desirable that the Government and the people of the United States should thoroughly understand the feelings and 'purposes of the lead? ing politicians of the South, in order that the coun? try may know the result of the coming elections, precisely ?he amount of influence possessed by rb esc men, and the kind and extent of legislation required to counteract its baleful effects. in my opinion, no reconstruction ran be satis? factory or at all reliable as to future" rej)?Us, un? less these men aro permitted to discuss openly and according to their nature, the issues present? ed. If tbs v still re tain Influence enough with the masses of the whites at the Sooth to enable them by active effort) to defeat reconstruction undep th;' late Acts of Congress, it is better that tho country should know it before than after the readmission of the Southern States into tue Union, Jt would not be diffion't to find in the violent speeches of j such men abundant cause for silencing them, bat reconstruction accomplished m this manner would be no index of the public sentiment, and might and probably would result, after a year or two, in a relapse of the people into the same condition of bondage to these leaders that Houjd lead neces? sarily to a reproduction of the same condition of things which demanded the passage of the Reoon construction Acts. It is better that the battle should bo fought out now and openly. If tho people of these States have the common sense and the manhood to with? stand the influence of tho secession porty and of the political Jenders who have long controlled them, who have led them into their present des? perate condition, and who seek to plunge thom still deeper into misfortune, and if they prove able and willing to reconstruct theil State Governments upon the only true principles of Government, m defiance of their leaders and against their active opposition, there will be good ground for hope that reconstruction will be uafisfactory and per? manent. If they cannot do this, it may well be? come a question whether reconstruction ou any reasonable terms is possible so long us those un? repentant and reactionary political lead-Td aro suffered to remain in this country. lt is botter that tho country should know tho truth on this subject now than run the risk bf learning hereafter that an irreparable mistake has beon made iu the plan end execution of tho Reconstruction Acts. I need scarcely repeat that reconstruction, to be in the spirit of the vacts of Congress and to bo permanent, must be the aot of the peoplo themselves after the fullest and freest discussion. Con crone has done wisely in enabling them to make this fight, by disfranchising tho leading rebels and at least, makin? it impossile for them to vote or hold office. It would pave been stid belter to enforce their permanent absonoo from tho country. The peisonal influence they might bring to bear if they were candidates thorn selves is tous greatly weakened, and they aro forced to discuss issues and not appeal to personal fooling in their own favor. The peoplo are thus left freer than they aver were bofore to choose their own candidates, andar? forced to think for themselves as they have not hitherto done. So far from being willing to see the disfran? chised classes relieved from political disabilities, J consider these disfranchising clauses of the acts to be among their wisest and best considered pro? visions. If they do no other good than to refievo tho people from the incubus of tho old political leaders, they have accomplished incalculable ser? vice, lt is ?ot doubted that many worthy and now loyal men who could be safely trusted, are disfran? chised by these clauses of the military bills, but such a result was unavoidable and can in their cases bo easilv remedied. It will no doubt bo wiso, at au early day, to relievo by np.mo such of the dis? franchised persons as bavo hithorto proved or shall prove by their conduct in tho course of tho next six months that they are worthy pf it. Whilst it was uuavoidablu that some good men would bo disfranchised by provisions of law against classes ot persons, in?, remedy is easy. To undertake tho converse of this, that *is, to give general amnesty and except individuals bv name, would certainly result in leaving ?argo numbers enfranchised who ought not to be. Such improper persons might decide the coming elections before their unfitness could be ascertained, and even then it would bo more than difficult to remedv the evil. I consider the method set forth in the reconstruction acts by far the wiser course of tho two, and I can hardly understand how any man familiar with tho facts can think otherwise. These disfranchised persons include generally the whole army of those who now hold or have hitherto held office. With few exceptions, all these persons wero active rebels, and arc bitterly opposed to reconstruction under tho acts of Con gress; oppjsed. in fact, to any reconstructs whatever, oxcept such as would leave them precisely the Bame political condition as if the had been no rebellion and no war. Even such reconstruction as this they would only accept as necessity of the situation, with the purpose to r new in Congress, and perpetuate among ther selves as nearly as possible the same conditioi which cxistod before the war. With theso r actionists dominant in the South, freedom speech and of the press, will not even exist name. Tho Union men, and even those who were secei sionista, but have advocated reconstruction und the lato acts of Congress, would find no peace ai no protection In theso States. Tho last condition ot tho freedmen would 1 worse than tho first. I need only point to this speech of Mr. Hill, h numerous letters, tho letters of Gov. Perry, i South Carolinia, of Herschel V. Johnson, of Geo gia, and many other such men for sufficient ev dence that I have not overstated the case. These men aro tho representatives of a larj and powerful element bent on reaction, and the have been in the habit of controlling the Souther whites. Bv taking opposite sides of a politic) question they have in times past divided tb Southern whites on purely personal grounds, an have thus created tbe impression elsewhere thc among t ie masses there was a political questio decided instead of a purely personal one. Unite as they now are against reconstruction, it is wie to ascertain how far their influence can preva with the people. Tho disfranchising clauses of the acts of Con gresB put it out of the power of these men to b candidates for office. One great element of thei strength is thus destroyed, and the people, left t choose other leaders and vote for other candidate: have really a freedom of action which they neve had before, and find themselves under a necesait for thinking which they have not heretofore fell Congress has given them this privilege and im posed upon them this salutary necessity. It re mains to be seen how they will use them. If the can wi., the battles against their former leader after an open fight, all may be well in the future If not, then not. I do not at all agree in the opinion that there ar Not euough competent in the District to hold th civil offices who are not disfranchised. I have, think, reason to know otherwise. But even admit ting that it is so, it is better to have an incompe tent but loyal man in office, than have a rebel o whatever ability. In fact the greater the abilit, the greater the danger of maladministration. The questions at issue under these Acts of Con gresB are the most momentous ever presented to i people. The result for good or evil will affect al parts of the country with more or less force, ant will have an impress upon our institutions whicl will long remain. It is easy, under existing cir cum H tai iee?, to win the first victor}' and recon struct these States uncu r the acts of Congress But this victory is only the beginning of the con test, and unless it be a victory openly and fairly won, and very decisive in its results, it may prov? not only fruitless, bat absolutely destructive. Tht problem is to perpetuate reconstruction in thc spirit and on the principles which can alone assn rc free Government. Should we effect reconstruc? tion even after silencing the open opposition ol the old political leaders, we stand committed tc admit the reconstructed States into the Union. Onco admitted into the Union, the power of Con? gress over them is reduoed practically to the gene? ral power which that body nas over all States in the Union. By admitting those Southern States aller silencing the old political leaders and neutralizing for the moment old political influences, Congress and the people disarm themselves. The moment admission into the Union is accomplished, the military power is suspen 'ed and with it all restric? tions are removed. At once these old political kadens and the old personal and political influen? ces will resume, their activity, and wo may ?md too late that such reconstruction as we have made is not only not what was needed and expected, hut what will simply result in a reproduction of the same condition of affairs which made reconstruc? tion measures necessary at all. Freedom of speech and of the press, education, aaality before tho law, and in political rights d privileges, are the essentials of any satisfac? tory reconstruction in the South. Without secur? ing these we havo secured nothing. How can we know that reconstruction will accomplish these results unless we know in advance the strength and thu power of those who oppose it. Reaction is certain unless tho reconstruction party can win the battle by decisive majorities over all the ele? ments which oppose it, left to develope themselves and app)y their foll force to the contest. Ii the reactionists thus left free can defeat such recon? struction au this, we then know what to do. what in fact we must do, if we desire to perpetuate fror institutions. It is best to know all these things before readmission into the Union is granted. It will be too late to learn them afterwards, Now is the time and this is the opportunity to complete this work so that it will stand. Every dictate of wisdom and patriotism demands this work at our hands. ,lf hastily or partially done, reconstruction will drag with it a train of evils to this country which can never be remedied. It is not necessary io say that however wo restrain the opposition party now, ihfi moment reconstruction is accom? plished thu party will regain its activity: and we ought to know in advance whether it possesses the power to undo what we thought we had' done. I do not mean to intimate that it would be possible to re-establish slavery; perhaps it would not even be practicable to take from the freedmen the right pf suffrage, though this latter is doubtful. These politicj&ns are wily and sagacious. They will make no ia\ya which are not euual on their face to all men. lt is in tho execution qf these jaws, whioh seem to bear equally on all, that wrong will t;e done, and a condition of things produced which bear no resemblance to free government except in name. Social exclusion, withdrawal of business relations, open exhibitions of hostility, if not in? wood actual hostile acts, interruption of, or in ttrferoiuis with, tho freedmen*' and other Hchoofs maintained by charitable contributions from the North; these will be the weapons used against Union men and tho colored rape. Acts pf wrong and violence will meet no sufflcioht redress, if indeed any redress at all in the courts. These are acts which cannot be reached by the General Government, and yet which quietly and silently render justice impossible and establish discrimi? nation against classes or color odious-and unbear? able. I say, thea, again, that unloss reconstruc? tion^ Qatablifjbeo; after the fullest development of all the influences against it by decisive majorities, we will simply havo reproduced and perpetuated in the South what we sought to destroy. We ought to know in advance, if possible, whether the pres? ence of the leaders of these incurable reactionists and their active influence in this country are com pa^ble with tho peace of the country, and the security of our institutions. Another question ought to be and probably will be decided m the course of the coming canvass for and against a Convention. That question is this ; Have the sluggishness of mind and body and the tendency to assail by violence tho right of opinion and discussion, ongend,ered by habits acquired during the existenco of shivery and the system of politics in the Sooth unfitted the people for such aabj-government, as is implied by lree speech, free press -and the fullest peaceable discussion af all public questions V This is a most important question, and one which, if answered in the light of existing facts, must he answered unfavorably, Not only do the reactionary Anti-Reconstructionists use all the instrumentalities I have named except such as tney are restrained from using hy the military au? thorities, but there is little doubt that they would resort at onoe to the intimidation and violence which long practice has made a habit, if they dared ta do so in'the presenco of the military for? ces of the United States, Candor compels me to say that this tendency to repress freedom of speech is not confined to either party, but prevails, though to a much less extent, among the Recon structiouists, whether they have buen always L'njon pion, or have latelv joined tho ranks of tbe Reconstruction party, ?t becomes the Govern? ment of the United States to frown upon such measures by whatever party proposed, and no re? buke so salutary or so \ rognant of good results can be administered as for the Government to preterit all partios in tho exorcise of free speech. Results will show what wo must expect in tue fu? ture in establishing in the South what are cardinal principles of our Government. The foregoing remarks refer exclusively to the white race in this District. Thc condition and the future of the colored are far more hopeful and encouraging, Tho earnest and touching anxiety] of the freed people to learn, cannot but make a profound impression upon t he mind of any ono who has bad the opportunity to observe it. It may safely be said that tho mar? vellous progress mado in education and knowledge by these people, aided by tho noble charitable con? tributions ol Northern ' Societies and individuals, finds no parallel in the history of meilland. If continued (and if continued at all it must bj by the same agencies) and the masses of the white people exhioit tho same indisposition to bo educa? ted that thoy do now, fivo years will have trans? ferred intolhgenco and educatiou, so far as thc masses aro concerned, to tho colored pjoplo of this District, The social and political results of such a change cannot fail to bo important and, to a great extent, decisivo of tho questions whioh we arc seeking to solve. It becomes us, there'ore, to guard jealously against any reaction whica may and will check this most desirable progress, of tho colored race. lu this yiow also we would assure ourselves that tho reconstruction wo aro attempt? ing to set up in tho South is of a character and possesses tho vitality to encourage and maintain this progress and perpetuate its results, These, General, aro briefly' my views upon the condition of affairs in this District, and thoy fur? nish tho reasons why I am pursuing the course in the administration of my office which I have indi? cated to you. It is not improbable that I may be mistaken, and that reconstruction forced and hur? ried may finally result in equal good. It seems to me, howovcr, that wo will incur a groat risk hy departing from tho course I have marked out for mvself ; and if by carrying out othor measures, we fail to accomplish tho results wc all have at heart, we will have entailed endless evil upon theso peo? ple and upon tho country, and will have disarmed ourselvos of the power to remedy it, I am confident that reconstruction will be satis? factorily accomplished in this distriot, in spite of tho < pen and active opposition of tho disloyal re? actionists. I can safely say that Alabama will give not loss than ten thousand majority of white voters for reconstruction, and I think it may be said with almost equal certainty that Georgia will ?ivo a white majoiity in the samo direction. Not ;ss than three-fourthB of the oolored vote in each of these States will be oast for reconstruction. The same remarks arc substantially true of Flori? da, and if I have so earnestly invited your atten? tion to tho dinger of opposite results it has only been to furnish tho data necessary to meet the case and to justify tho course I have thought it judicious to pursue, All tho facts that can bear upon these questions I shall continue to roport as they come to my knowledge. It is, however, my dutv to state that, in my judgment, tho condition or affairs in the Southern States, even should reconstruction be satisfactori? ly accomplished, will of necessity be a reproduc? tion, in a moro less modified degree, of what now exists in Tennessee, unless torne measures are adopted to free the country of tho turbulent and disloyal leaders of the reactionary party. Whilst these persons remain in tho country lo oxeroiso the baleful influence they undoubtedly possess, there can be no peace. I behove that in Florida and Alabama tho dan? ger from this cause is less than in Georgia, hui in all these States there is so much danger of the disorder and violence which mark tho daily history of Tennessee, that it would seem wise to adopt whatever measures are practicable to remove from the States in process or reconstruction the causes which now endanger loyal government in Ten? nessee. I do not venture to suggest a remedy for tho evils that may be developed. Snch matters merit, and wUl, no doubt, command petient examination and careful action, and having laid beforo vou tho facts, and my own general views upon thom, I consider my duty performed. I am, General, very respectfully, vour obedient servant, JOHN POPE, Bil. Major-Gen. U. S. A, Commanding. General ?. S. GBANT, General-in-Chief, TJ. S. A, Washington, D. C. CORN.

August 24 1 OBITUARY, Let not him that girdcth on his harness, Bqnit himself as he that putteth it off. These words are suggested to the writer of thia notice by tho death, at Florence, South Carolina, on the 16th ult,, of tho Rev. WALTER C. QUERRY, aged 28 years, 8 months t> nd 25 days, Deacon in the Protestant Epis? copal Church, and Mi-Bionary to Florence and Marion. Mr. QUERIIY was born in 8umter District, 8outh Caro? lina, anti at au early age devoted himself to the service ot God. He waa one of tho first to enter the infant Theo? logical Seminary of bia native Diocese, in which he con? tinued a studeut until Juue, 1862, when the exigency of I the time suspended tho exercises of that institution, ho enrolled himself in the Confederate Army-joining, as a private, the Marion Artillery, s. C. V., and so serving bis country to thc close of the war. Upon the cessation of hostilities, be again entered the Seminary, graduated the third week in June 1867, and was ordained Deacon on the 21th of the month, the ieaat cf St. John, the Baptist. Iben followed a few days of | happy repose-days alas I too brief-among old friends and familiar faces and then, this young sold: er of the cross, moved to tho post assigned him by bis Bishop. On St James' day, the 26th of July last, Mr. Gu EBBT commenced his official duties aa Missionary, and on the morning of tbe 16th day of the month following, the voice of God proclaimed that Ina warfare waa accomplish? ed-that his work was done. To his comrades in arms, tho announcement of his death will not fail to awaken profound regret ; for bis cairn courage in moments of danger, his cberful anti unmurmuring performance of duty, bia patient en? durance of privation and hardship, won their unquali? fied admiration and regard. To his more intimato and dear associates, however-his brethren of the clergy_ls commended a uouble portion of the Cross of Sorrow. They ure called to mourn, not only the removal of a be? loved brother, but the silence of a voice earnest in tha behalf of Christ-the stilling of a heart ever active in offices of love-tho paaslng of a life devoted to the im? mortal interests of iueu. lt were fruitless to speculate upon what would seem so dark a dispensation of Providence. Viewed upon our side, we see only years of laborious preparation brought to naught-years ot patient waiting, crowned with but momentary success-a wide sphere of useful? ness and honor, just opening to close with the closing of | a tomb-a well disciplined mind and zealous heart, sealed fore vor from all mortal work and purpose, in two palo hands folded palm to palm, in two pale lipa never again to utter the language of human speech. Bur, thanks bo to God, there ie a holier and a brighter aspect far in which to view it When wa think upon our loss, h t us not forget Ait gain. When we miss the lu lp of bia counsel and sympathy in the Church Militant, lot us re? member him as with tho Church Triumphant When we gird on our harness to the battle, let us think with joy of him. whom thc Master baa called to put lt off; called aa one who-yet so young-had already fougnt the good Ugh:, already tltiishcd his course, already wou that crown ot glory that fadclh not away. So young to pass away; HO young for such high honor I bow shall living sorrow speak beat her sacred trust ? " Wt feel thal" unto thee ia given A lifo tbat bears immortal fruit, In such irr eu t c iii cr a aa suit, Tim lull grown energies of Heaven." Tribute of Respect. HALI, OK THE WASHINGTON STEAM Fins ENCUNE CO., I CHASLESTON, H. C., August 22d, 1867. j At u meeting of the Washington Stoim Fire Engine Company, held this evening, tbe following preambles and resolutions were unanimously adopted : Siucn we last met within thia ball, the solemn messen ger, I oath, has invaded our ranks and gathered in his folds our friend and brother JOHN BACHMAN OWENS. Hi> illness waa of abort duration, but accompanied with much pain, which war endured by bim with marked pa? tience and fortitude. On tho 6th instant be expired peacefully, in the iwenty-aecond year of bia age. True, he bad not long boon connected-with our Compa? ny, but sufficiently long to enable us to form a high opinion of bim os a fireman-ready and willing lo dis? charge all necessary duties. His private character waa unstained by vicious contamination. By inclination and axamplo ho was sober, honest, generous, noblo. That he was respecten! by all who knew him was testified by the large gathering of frionda around bis remains. It may surely bo said, "None knew bim but to love bim ; No:.e named him but to praise ;" and though wo shall see him no nore on earth, none shall weep for him-fte is home at ret?. As a Utting tributs of respect to the memory of tho do~ ceaaed, bo lt Resolved 1st. That by tho death of JOHN BACHMAN OWENS our Company has been deprived of a member who was useful anti energetic, and who always discharg? ed his duties with satisfaction to his officers and the members generally. Resolved 2d. That tho members do wear the badge of mourning for the usual space of time. Resolved 3d. That u blank pago in tho Minute Book be inscribed with the name, agc and date of death of the de? ceased. Resolved 1th. That a copy of these proceedings be pre? pared by tho Secretary aud presented to tho widowed mother of thc deceased, with the aaaurance of our deep sympathy for her loss. On tho 6th instant the members of this Company were summoned to accompany the remains of a brother io his place of s. pulcbrc. Scarcely had tho solemn bu cial rites been performed I bau Ibo announcement was made that another member had fallen undor tho stroke ni Death. With hearts saddened by tho intelligence, we knew that FRANCIS AUGUSTUS DU FORT was no more. I I lie fell a victim of high bilious fever, iu tbe twentieth | I (20lh) year of his agc. We have thus been deprived of two faitLful members. Within a few hours of each other thoy departed from us. Our deceased fellow-member, thu subject of this no lice, was distinguished for his industrious babita. He waa strictly attentive, and studiously applied himself to bis avocation, receiving well deserved approbation for bis services. With animoaity for none, he waa kind and affable to all. Dutiiul to bis parents, he waa the pet of the household-purely affectionate and never varying. As a fireman ho discharged bis duties pleasantly, and contributed his share freely toward tbo maintenance of | the Company. Liked by bis fellow-members, he will long live in their mcniory. 11 Acting uuder a sense ol duty, and os a jual testimonial ol' our respect for Ibe deci ased, be it | 1 Resolved 1st. That we greatly deplore tho loss to us of f our fellow member FRANCIS AUGUSTUS DDFORT, who rendered his services to tho Company in every way agreeablo aud satisfactory. Resolved 2d. That thc merni urn bo required to wear the badge of mourning for the usual H puce of time. Resolved 3d. That a blank page in thu Minute Book be | J inscribed with tho nomo, og* and date of death of our departed brother. Rtsotvcd 1th. That a copy of tbeso proceedings be en? grossed by tho Secretary and presented to tbo parents of the deceased, with thu assurance of our unfeigned sympa? thy for them in thin their time of trial. Resolved 6tb. That these preambloa and resolutions bo sent to thu DAILY NEWS for publication. From tho Minutes. ALFRED W. STEVENS, Secretary Washington Steam Fire Eugino Co.
