Whereas, The President of the United States
has heretofore Bet forth several proclamations,
offering: amnesty and pardon to persons who
had been or were concerned iu th? late rebel?
lion against the lawful authority of the Gov?
ernment of the United States, which proclama?
tions were generally issued December 8,18C3,
March 26, 1863, May 29, 1865, September 7,
1867, and July 4, 1S5S; and whereas, the au?
thority of the Federal Government having
been re-established in all the States and Ter?
ritories within the jurisdiction of the Unitod
States, it is believed that such prudential res- ,
ervations and exceptions as at the dates of }
the said several pioclamations were deemed <
necessary and proper, may uow be wisely and I
justly relinquished; amd a universal amnesty j
and pardon for participation in said rebellion c
extended to all who h? ve borne any part there- j
in, will tend to secure permanent peace, ord? (
and prosperity thieu;bout the land, and to t
renew and fully restore cadden ce and fra ter- <

Charleston, December 24th, 18G8.
-The personal piques and prejudices of
Queen Victoria aro said to be the chief caube
of the acrimony displayed in Eugiish politics.
A New York Herald correspondent s ates that
many years ago, when abo first assumed the
crowu, tho Queen coutesaed to Lord Melbourne
that she "nar.ed the Tories," by which she
meant that she hated the Tory statesmen with
whom sh* was brought iuto official contact.
Years have passed, times and parties and men
.have changed, aud now tho Queen hates the
Liberals iu precisely tho samo way. That is
to say, the principal Liberal leaders are per?
sonally disagreeable to ber. She cannot en?
dure Lori! John Russell; she absolutely dis?
likes- Mr. Gladstone. On the other hand, abe
is deeply attached to Lord Derby, and has no
warmer and closer friendship than that which
she entertains for Mi-. Disraeli. The social
circle of royalty is, therefore, broken in two.
By this course the Queen is said to be materially
impairing her legitimate influence, and giving
j iso to many rumors prejudicial^ her credit.
PROFESSOR HERMAN J>. MEIER
WHO IS JUE '.'
TO TUE tDirOE OF THE NEWS.
You and the public have a right to ask tl?o
above question in respect to a gentleman, in
whoso behalf so largo a abare of prominence
in your valued journal has of late bern claimed,
and which bas been so freely and liberally re?
corded.
Allow me thc p:ivi!cgo of a response, by
simply slating in a condensed and unfortunate?
ly hurried form, facts and data obtained upon
solicitation direct flem tho lips cf tho Profes?
sor-facts and data so minute and pointed in
regard to places, name3 and occurrences as to
iexove ail unnecessary inquiry by thc very
circumstance that they challenge investiga?
tion.
The modesty of Professor Meier, Virgil-like,
prevents the u^dersigued, one of bis new and
admiring friends (probably from a corelativo
tendency of fouling if not of mind,) from
breaking forth in tho key-note of praise and
admiration; may a glorious and honorable fu?
ture of the Professor am. mg us give opportu?
nities to abler hands than niiuo to perform
that delicate but agreeable office
Very respectfully, yours,
WILLIAM UFFERHARDT.
Charleston, S. C., December 24,18C8.
Herman JD. Meir,
Professor of Philology and Belles Lettres,
has recently arrived from Germany, with tho
intention of making Charleston his home. He
was boru in thu year 1830 in Ottendorf, Lind
Hadeln, a province of the late kingdom of
Hanover. His native place, situated, as it is,
on the banks of the River Elbe, an:l about len
miles lroui the mouth ot" the same, is the l ist
asylum aud bulwark of ancient Anglo-Saxon
freedom.
His youth passed in indigent cireumsta ces,
but, happily lor him, under the guidance ami
tuition of a great schedar, and a nen'len; an
highly distinguished by bis religious and
scientific accomplishments-the Rev. M. If.
Schutte, who still lives to see the fruits of bis
labor bestowed upoa young minds. By him
ho was prepared for college, vhich he visited
at Hildesbeine in bis thirteen.li year, being
ready for the university when sixteen years of
age, a fact sufficient to show that he was a
youug man of extraordinary talents.
THO teachings of his pious and Christina
mother, and bis own inclinations, lcd lum tc
choose tho study of theology for hie avocalion.
But it was then tho era of bony and perverted
rationalism, aud one of its champion* at the
University of G?ttingen was ^Professor il.
Ewald, under whoso guidance, among others,
tho youn ; man was to be prepared for the min?
istry of the gospel. Not more than one yaar
could our friend endure the obnoxious dec- 1
trines propounded to him. Tho spirit and 1
teachings of bis beloved mother, having shown 1
him tho true path of Christian lifo, bad taken 1
root too deep and lasting to bo thus easily I
eradicated. Although besst by tho fallacious i
reasonings and temptations of the skeptics,
be left Gottingen at the end of ono year in dis?
trust.
Ho then visited the University of Jona, and
there applied himself assiduously to the stud- ?
les of philosophy, belles lettres and philology,
which be completed iu 1818, when eighteen
?.ears of ago.
Now followed the political excitement of '48,
vhtch shook tho old fitberland from thc Alps
,0 tho ocean, and old and young wcro olectri- \
icd by the noble ideas of liberty which proved ,
iventually to have been so very fallacious and J
iremature. But oue of tho nobler fruits of tho (
ixcitemont was tho progress made towards Ilia j
iberation of Schleswig-Holstein, from Danish
ipprossion, and our young f. icn l was found '
me of tho first champions on this glorious '
>attlo-fiold. He fought as a volunteer in thc (
?orps of and nuder ths immediate cottiniana of ,
he gallant Von der 'lunn, now Lieutenant- '
jeueral of Bavaria, received his epaulettes as <
iouleuant at the battle of Friderieia. aud was 1
levcrtly wounded by a ball in the side and a 1
iabrc-cut across tho knee at the battle of
idstedr. 1
After his recovery, thc war being at an end. ?
Hr. Meier received aa appointment as a pri- (
rate teacher in a nobleman's family in Pome- ,
rania. Ho finished thc oducatinu of the son of '
tis patrun, and then travelled with his pupil <
'or nearly a year through nil Germany, Poland, j
Switzerland, It->ly and France. Tris was, as
TO may truly c*il it, the school or life for him. 1
In 1853 bo passed Ittrcugu tho necessary ox- ?'
imination of a professor, sud received tho ap- 1
joinimcul as suc'.i at Breslau iu Silesia. Here, i
ind subsequently at L?dingworth and Oborn
lorf in Hanover (to which place bc had to re- 1
;urn in order uot to lose his privilege to a reg- 1
liar appointment in rotation), he devoted all j
lis leisure hours i^ study and to tho expansion
ft hit mind ?iud knowledge,until kc received a '
:all by Podessor ll. Grade. LL.D., one of the 1
nost renowned scholars of Germany, lo super- (
ntend and conduct a high school tor young
adi?s iu Bremen.
After luboriug assiduously and successfully <
or nearly a year at tins instituto, Professor 1
Meier passed through thc examination 1'ro ,
Recioratu, and tool: charge of a department
u which ncglcct.-d and unmanageable boys 3
ind youths were lo be reformed and iu
itructcd. 1
This severe task anti labor of love, phdan- i
hropy and sacrifico was blessed with uaex- ?
jeeted success. Daring tho fivo years (1860- 1
LS60) of this tho hardest work'of bis life, 1
ahicb brought him many bitter moments, '
jut no pecuniary rowarda worth while to spock 1
)f, ho succeeded, by ibu blessing of God, in 1
recalling neal' two hundred yoting minds, i
routh? and young men from iireinen as well 1
ts from various foreign places, from ibo road I
)f ruin and ignorance to the pahs oNrittu? 1
iud intelligence; aad it m y bo stated as a 1
nost remarkable fact, tint "ho only failed in 1
lis efforts with just two young men in ono ]
mndrcJ and eighty confided to him. 1
'The va ue promit.es of proper pecuniary re- 1
vard upon which Mr. Meier had rolled and 1
soured faithfully, remained but so macy pto- i
nises, aud bo gave up tho pasitiou in disgust, 1
Doorcr thau lie had ontercd upon ir, and ho 1
iccepted of a cal! as iuanau.tr ot tho high i
school at Wremen, Hanover. It was here 1
.There he recen cd thc title of a royal school i
lirec'.or from tb* Ptussiau Government.
Very soon alter Hanover waa aunexed to
Prussia iu ?onsequonco of tho war of 18(5(3.
rrofessor Meier hailed this event with joyas 1
1 great step towards his long cherished "pa- 1
nolie wish for the unity and consolidation 1
)t Germany. Was it a wonder that he becunao ?
tn object of displeasure to tho numerous <
riends of the old regime of Hanover, the 1
juelpbs. Thoy knew how to make bis pos:- i
ion among them so insupportable to him that 1
ie, in 18G7, changed his residence lo Elsfleth, <
Oldenburg, where ho originated thc publica- <
ion of thc .1Unterweserzeitnng,:' a journal
strictly conservativo in polities, endeavoring
it thc samo time to build up a (ruc national
jarty, and to advocate some Christian piinci- <
?les, as many 01 our German residents will ?
veli remember, copies of the paper having ,
jecn received in Charleston up to Ur. Meier's J
lepartuie from Uer many for this his now J
lome. . j
lu E'sfleth, a town on the Weser, where ship- <
Kidding is carried on to a great extent, ho
iad occasion to notice with eorro.v the de- '
jressed and impoverished state to whicii thc \
)ocr mechanic and working man was brought j
>y the tyranny of capital, and ho endeavored .
o raise their fallen hvpea and prospecta by
eachiiig them to economize their means by <
emperancu ami industry, founded upou tho j
?achinga of Christ aud His Apostles, us the J
>;ly truo standpoint for pura and ennobling ;
Icniocratio principios. Mr. Meier repressed 1
.nioiig them ad violent and i m pic per mea- ]
m'es to pain their rights ts fathers and Chris- j
ians for the sustenance ef their families, -nd
ecomrnciided as tba ultimate moans for bet- 1
ering their condition the onvuration to this
rreat and rich country, advocating particularly I
ho emigration to South Carolina-having had ;
?cession to become acquainted wiih the pecu- 1
iar advantages of our climate and soil, through <
tommunications with tho Comniiasioner and i
Igentol Immigration of the State. I
'The advocacy of this principle in a coun- '
;ry like (lemiauy, where thc want of good 1
forking mon and mechanics is begining to bo 1
cit by the constant drain reade upon them by
smtgratiou, and the generally exhibited ani
nosity towards the Soutberu States,which Mr. 1
?eier endeavored to couuletac1 by word and 1
leed, which office, together witb tito emigration ]
icheme, he performed without thc slightest .
.enumeration, simply trom feelings of sympa- '
by for thc balmy South and ita warm-hearted 1
icoplc, rendered his position untenable both ui 1
thc political point of view as editor, and in thc
economical point of vie w as thc supporter of a
landry of six children. He severed thc tics that
bound him to tl;e Fatherland, and arrived
among us in October lust, when thc right hand
of fellowship vas ?xtended lo him by a host
of bis fe low*counlnmcn, who met by
hundreds in the ball of tbo Br?derliche Bund,
on the evening ot October 2?jth, to give him a
welcome worthy of the fame that had preceded
him, and to listen to tho slrains of eloquence
on matters and things of the old Fatherland
lone; left behind, but nev.v forgotten.
Professor Meier's literary career has been
productive among others of a "History of thc
World," a "History of thc Vaelnci wauderun ,"
a "Scandinavian Thoogony" in verses, two
grand dramatic works, "Magdalene" and "Li
bussa," a variety ot poetry (mostly in the heroic
and lyric style),"among wii.ch "Preciosa" and
"Ihe Exiled," several speeches, prologues and
numerous essays and critical works on literary,
scientific and political subjects?, besides editing
in Brtslau a literary, scientific and critical
journal called the Phoenix, and latterly tho
Unterwescrzeltung as above stated. At pres?
ent ho is tho editor of tho German paper of
Charleston. Ho w-s elected in 1304, iu Bres?
lau, an honorary member of thc Silcsian Poet
School of Germany, and was president of tho
literary society called "Minerva," organized
by him in 18G(Hn Bremen, consisting of ladies
and gentlemen of uiarh literary attainments
aud education. The "Workingnien's and Me?
chanic's Union, which ho founded during his
stay in Elsfleth (1867-1868) numbered over
two thousand members, and the Professor is
known in that region ol'country (the Lower
Weser) as tho "workingmcn's apostle."
Mr. Meier acted brequeutly as chairman and
speaker of deputations to the governments of
Hanover and Berlin, and had i ho pleasure of a
personal presentation to King William I, of
Prussia, as well as to Count Bismarck, with
whom he has bcon in frequent correspon?
dence.
Themost recent honor confer? cd upon Pro?
fessor Meier comes to my notice this very
moment, as I am just now informo! that bo
was unanimously electcd-ou Tuesday evening
last an honorary ot tbo German Brudorhcba
Bund, a society well-known amoug us as one
of the most prominent for th : elevation of thc
social! moral an I political standpoint of our
German iollow-citizens, and 1 cm but con?
gratulate my Gorman friends of that society
on the most valuable acquisition in their num?
bers.
What, made Professor Meier's position in
German; unpalatable and untenable, was his
adopting and advocating principles ot Chris?
tian liberality and trno Democratic ideas in
matters of political and social economy, as well
as in matters concerning'.he Christian religion;
principles ignored in Germany in a great
measuro by men of means and riches, or in
other words, by tbo tyrants of capital. There
may, also, be a certain dooroo of Teutoaic
iro?-browed perseverance in his character,
when principles, onue r?co m?zed as just and
true, como in question. Enough said, as a
man of tho times, as a niau ol progress, Mr.
Meier had all tho rich fogies against him, and
bo bethought himself ot tho happy idea to
lound himself a d his wife and children a new
hom? in our midst, in a country where thought
md word is unfettered b.-foro thc law and tho
lollnr. May wc succeed to make tbat home
tor him a happy asylum cf full aud plenty, both
in regard to bread "ard honer.
SHU'S AGAINST TO JITS.
\n Interesting Discussion- Thc Kxpc
rienoe of the Monitors Against Fort
Sumter.
Wo have lately published a statement of thc
?Yashinglon correspondent of tho New York
tribune, to the eff?ct that Chief Engineer Ish
?rwoed, of tho Navy Department, is said to
lave spoken in very severe terms of ths moiii
,ors and their engines, asserting that they
vero never able to maka a sea voyage without
in escort, and making other objections to
;hem. That part of Iiis report, however, which
condemns tho monitorirou-clads as unfit f r
vessels of war, ia said to have been oliminaicd
by thc Secretary ot thc Navy from his annual
report. Almost contemporaneously willi tho
move, tho London Times has a long article
eomuiciititig un "A Treatise on Coast Deft nee,
based on the experience gamed by officers of
thc Carps of Engineers of thc army of tho Con?
federate States, and compiled Iroia official re?
ports of officers of the navy of tho United
states, madu duiitg the late Norlh American

ate Confed?ralo Stales of America." This
treatise contains seme interesting facts ger
nanetothe topic wc havo referred to, and
?vblch aie ef practical vain? in connection with
.he tubjecL oi coast ddene**. Tao Times,
ivhdc agreeing generally willi the aulhor'e dc
slaraHon that exposed masonry is incapable of
withstanding thc liro of modern artillery, takes
some exception to thu looseness of his state
aents. It says :
Fire of modern artillery from what, and fol?
low lou:; V Thc bombardment of Fort Sumter
ia Riven aa an illustration. Yet Fort Sumter, a
.veale construction of brick casemates, with
barbette guns on Urn top, only succumbed to a
heavy fire tram shore batteries attacking its I
ireakest part-tho gorge-and ihcu only af.or
nany day*' bombardment. When fivo thous?
and project-lies hui boon hurled against it from
rifled guns up toten inch calibre, tecmd:?g
two eighty-pounder Whitworth*, wo aro to.il
that "Sanuer was a ruin, a a bad only one
Ferviccabio ^un left." Hat tho garrison .vu
made of tho right material ii thc ramparts
were not. Koren days' existence in an atmos?
phere of du^t from crumbling masonry and
amoko from bursting shells had failed to cow
thoir spirits or quench their ardor. No soonor
vas there a lulim thc filing than they com?
menced tho clearing of rubbish to ?;a:n positions
tor U2W guns, ?ade the bomb-proofs in?rese
jure, and tried by every means to under the
rum as tenable as possible. lu tic's work they
?rere intelmpted by another bombardment
[hat waa oponed by all batteries on the fort, on
August 80, and continued for three dava. No
restipcoof a beary gun remained in thc fort;
Wagner hid buen evacuated; every chance
seemed lost, and tb? moment appeared to have
vrrived when possession might be taken o? tho
ruins. A boat attack waa ordered, and ?ailed
is signally as it was possible to fail, moro than
one hundred men being taken prisoners by the
little garrison. Then came a tbird bombard
Bent from shore batteries and licet combined,
md it was only when not a sin-lc gua reinain
;d to return a thor, and the doh noes were lev?
eled to tho ?round, that tuc fort surrcndcisd.
The defence was much more protracted than
ike Times supputes, wearing out the patience
jf the besiegers, and Fort Sumter never did
?irrender to tho direct attacks Upen it. The
all cf Columbia, through Sherman's march
rom the interior, involved Hut of Charleston,
nclnding Fort Sumter and all its other defences.
What, however, is most pertinent tu the qiits
ion ef tho value of the monitors in contests
Kith iort9 is thc bombardment oi For! sumter
?y thc naval force, previous t<; the ?and attack.
They crossed tho har in s atc ly. numbering
fight monitors and the Ironsides, a broadside
?hip, and. opened tire at distances varying from
Ive hundred and fifty to ono thousand yards,
in forty minutes they retired, and tho Times
eaves it to Admiral Dupont to state his <.>;iin
on of their condition in thc words of his oiiieiai
eport :
No ships had loca exposed io tho severest
ire of the enemy for over tarty minutes, mid
fet, in that brief period, ur, mo dopartmout
nrill perceive by the detailed reports of thc
:ommaudtiig ofhcors,?vcof the iron-dads were
ivho'.ly or partially disabled; disabled, too (as
;ho obstructions -?mid not be passed), in th.it
which was most essen! ial to uur success-I
?can in their armament, or their power ofin
licting injury with their guns.
Ibo Keokuk hid only tim; to fire thrco
rounds before she found herself to bc in dau?
ber of sinking, au event which actually occur?
red ?ext muming. Thc Nab hut was most se?
riously damage !. H ea tut rei became jammed
and could not turn. Bolt ends and nuts flying
about rendered the interior of the pilot-house
nearly untenable. The turret of thc Passaic
was jammed after thc fourth 6hot. Cap-square
bolt : carried away in thc Palapsco rendered
her rifled gun unserviceable. Tho Nantucket
fired just three shots from her fi; Icon-inch gun,
and then her turret becamo disabled.
The other iron-clad?. though struck many
times severely, were si ill r-blc to uso their guns,.
but I am convinced that, in all probability, in
another thirty minnies thcnwoii'd have been
lii.ewisc disabled.
Tho guus ia Fort Sumter were greatly infe?
rior in calibre to lhaso on board tho fleet; so
tho difficulties of ships when contending
against forts come out in all tho stronger re?
lief.
