''" COLUMBIA. Tuesday Morning, April 17, 1866. The Gleaner-A llontt .Toil? nul. We issue this morning the first rt*rj-niar number of tue largest weekly paper in tho Southern States, and containing more reading matter thau ?ny other journal in the South, in the shape of editorials, news, litera? ture, tales, sketches and poetry, mar? ket!'' and agricultural information, embraced in forty-eight columns of solid readinq matter-no advertise ^ monts being published in Tm; GLEANER. The design is - to make this largo sheet what its name indicates, A. HOME COMPANION, adapted to the tastes and wants of every class of readers. It is . gotten out at heavy expense, but the proprietor looks with confidence to - his remuneration in a widely-extended subscription list. Especially ought he to obtain this, as there is no in? come to support this issue from ad? vertising. He has struggled manfully against all the obstacles he had to contend With, until he has attained that success which enables him to put forth to the community three as good papers-daily, tri-weekly and week? ly-as ever was published in the Capital of the State, and equal in all respects to any papers of their class in the South. He does not say this in any boast? ful spirit, but, believing that he can confidently challenge comparison with ~ any other journal, he claims for THE GLEANER a full share of support. And, to assist in attaining this object, he requests those who may read this article to commend THB GLEANER tc their friends and acquaintancef throughout the country districts ol the State. He gives the assurance that the paper will maintain a charac? ter worthy of the support of the read? ing public, and returning to its sub? scribers ample compensation for theil subscription money. If tmj doubl this, let them send for a sample copy, and we are confident they will sub? scribe at once. We enter upon th? ?. publication of this family journal wit?i higli hopes of success, which wc will use every exertion to deserve. Thc Proclamation. Explained. It seems that a conflict of opinioi " Tvn regard to the affairs of the Freed /men's Bureau has occurred in Geor . gia. In response to a telegram sen to Washington, the following was re eeived from the War Department: WAS DEPARTMENT, Washington, 1>. C., April 9, I860. Brevet Maj. Gen. J. M. Brannan, Au gusta, t?a. : The Assistant Commissioner Bu reau Refugees, Freedmen, Ax., fo the State of Georgia, having inquire whether the President's proclamation removes martial law, and stated tba the department commander does no feel authorized to arrest parties wh have committed outrages on fred people or Union refugees, tho Seer? tary of War, with the approval c the President, directs me to inion you that the President's proclamatio does not remove martial law or opt rate in any way upon the Freedmen Bureau in the exercise of its legit mate jurisdiction. It is not exp? dient, however, to resort to militar tribunals in any case where justit can be attained through the niedini of civil authority. (Signed,) E. D. TOWNSEND, A. A. Ci. This may only refer to cases corni u within the scope of the jurisdictio of the Freedmen's Bureau. If c general application, it is difficult 1 reconcile it with the terms of the Pres dent's proclamation, and is nt var riauce with the recent decision of tl Supreme Court of the United State which released three men in Indian after having been sentenced by military commission. .The proclam tion seemed, also, to have govern* the military commission already n tieed in our paper, while in Raleig N, C., the commission over-ruled tl plea put in against its jurisdictio Things seem to be in a muddle ju now, but time will bring an expias tion. AFFAIRS IN SOUTH CAROLINA. special despatch from Washingti gives the statements of Maj. Walk? of the 5th United States Cavah regular army, respecting the politic - and social condition of South Care na. Tho major, who served wi distinction through the w ar, has ji returned from that section of t country, and gives a most encoun ing account of these matters, says the freedmen are everywh? busily and peaceably at work, a there seemed to be no signs of id nesfl or discontent anywhere. Hopeful Fln?r.eiaJ. Condition. We take from th? Richmond Times the following summary of an article from the. ??ew " York ?n'ie?>endeuL, ?which, although very-poor authority j in matters of religion' ami i*o?ities, has'a capital financial nhd commercial editor. It is the paper iu whioh Henry Ward Beecher writes, and servos -mammon far more usefully than it does the causo of religion: ' ' It draws a most hopeful picture of the financial condition of the coun? try, and predicts a speedy fall in goldi It declares that there is littl.. cause for gold being at twenty-seven, and by tho natural course of financial events, gold ought to have dropped suddenly doWn to ten per cent, as soon as the war came to an end, and it woi?d have done so, if it had not been ' boosted up ' bj the combined efforts of those who would have been damaged by its fall. It is better, no doubt, that the fall was gradual, as it has been, aiid it is a great comfort to kuow that it has now fallen so low that no great harm can be done here? after, let it fall the rest of tho dis? tance as precipitately as it may. There is less cause, now, for combi? nation to keep np the premium on gold than there was when it waa higher, and, consequently, the fall will be easier and more rapid. Any one who 'bulls' gold now, who hoards it for a further rise, or in any way attempts to keep it at a premium, deserves to suffer, and will receive no sympathy for the losses which ranst inevitably befall him. The country ! is now full of gold; it is pouring in upon us in large streams, and only leaving us in driblets. The export to Europe has almost entirely ceased; exchange is in our own favor; con? siderable sums RV i brought here in every steamer from the other side, while we are sending enough cotton across the Atlantic to keep the ba? lance of trade still in our favor; and while we are turning the tide in our favor, our debt in Europe is not in? creasing, but diminishing. Our bond? ed warehouses are filled with Eu? ropean goods, which have already been paid for, and, under a falling market, no fresh orders are sent out. What, then., is to keep up the pre? mium on gold? Not tho foreign de? mand, for it is small now, and will be less by-and-by. We do not need gold for a currency; the people would not have it, if it were offered them, to? morrow, in exchange for their green? backs. They know that what will bring gold is as good as gold; and, with the resumption of specie pay? ments, to which we aro rapidly has? tening, it will be considered a hard? ship to be compelled to carry a pock et-fnll of small change in the place of the fractional currency, which has been found so convenient for trans? mission by mail, and for all the pur? poses of daily traffic." We fear that these bright pictures of the financial condition of the country are colored too highly hythe radical journals. They probably arc put out to convince the people that the ruinous legislation now going ou in Washington do not really affect the great interests of tho country, but as there are two sides to even picture, there is another to this. Tin public debt of the country reacher nearly ?3,000,000,000, and there ar< about 85,000,000 inhabitants, giving to each inhabitant, while and black? man, woman and child -about $8; I per head to pay ort" this debt. Tin wealth of the whole country, in 18C0 j is set down at ?16,000,000.0<H); but tin I war at the South swept out, in tin i emancipation of the slaves, ?3,000, 1000,000, and who can estimate the tom ; amount of wealth destroyed in thi j section, in the shape of manufacto I ries, houses, barns, crops, live stock &c.? lt is estimated by good finan I cial authorities, that the real wealt] j of the country, in 18C5, was abou j $10,000,000,000. With the nationn j debt we have, besides the Stat I debts, it may be asserted that we ar the poorest country on the face of th globe to-day. Nevertheless, wer the political agitators, at Washington to cease their warfare on tho Sont I and admit her to full communio with her co-States; were the Nort to stretch forth her power, and aid i i crushing out this mischievous fa? I tion, ami were friendly, social, con j mercial and political relations full established between all section: there ave resources enough, and wi] ing, working hands sufficient to ri lievo the eountry in due time fro: her pecuniary obligations and bu dens. Let tho Independent aid in a complishing this, and it will reuse on a surer basis, and build its the ries on a firmer foundation. The Times publishes the ^quarter I statement of the National* Bank ! Charlotte. It says that, under tl skillful management of its Preside] and Cashier, this institution b proved a decided success, and h been of benefit to the commi.nitj'. A girl thirteen years of age hi been committed, in London, as i habitual drunkard. Thc ?^lil?. The Baltimore <S?*n, gives us tue following interesting notes of this exhibition : A very attractive feature of tho ex? hibition is the copy of Marner's splendid edition of La Sainte Bible, in two large folio volumes, embel? lished with 230 full page original drawings, and an immense number of vignettes, by Gustav Dore. The en? gravings are by the most eminent artists m Europe, aud were executed ata cost of more than $75,000. The work is of such a nature that it would bo difficult to speak of it in terms that would not appear overstrained. As a work of art it stands unrivalled in Europe, as a monument of the most wonderful drawings that have ever been executed. The engravings, printing and paper are in keeping, and the entire work is an example of publishing enterprise that has lew, if any, parallel?. The present copy is an early impression, and the only one iu Baltimore. It was seeured by Mrs. Zenus Barnum, through the kindness of Mr. John Murphy, who imported it, at a cost of $1,000. This benevolent lady has placed it on her table, where it is for raffle, tho pro? ceeds to be added to the fuir fund. Whoever may be so fortunate as to possess it will certainly be the owner of one of the most, rare and magni? ficent specimens of printing extant. The elegant silver tea-service, vain- ' at ?250, which was raffled at Mrs. Vansant's table on Monday even? ing, and wou by S. Teackle Wallis, Esq., was yesterday re-donated to the ladies of the tabie by that gentle? man. It was at once set np for i*affle again, and the chances nearly all taken last night. There have also been received three piece-, of solid silver from a lady in the South, valued at S100. From General Lee's daughter, through Mrs. Kernel, a beautifully embroidered cushion, valued at ??30; from Mrs. Lawrence, >f Newport, one lace hand? kerchief, valued at $50. Captai.i Bowers, of this city, yes? terday, presented Miss Fanny Logs den, at tables seven and eight, the celebrated cane, know n as the "Her? mitage stick." This cane is finely mounted, and was cut by General Jackson from tile Hermitage and pre? sented by him to the late Daniel Cameron, ut New Orleans, in 1824. It is to be disposed of by vote, the candidates being two distinguished citizens. Mr. S. T. C. Brown has donated n small farm of ten acres, near Soap? stone Siding, in Carroll County, va? lued at $1,000. Mrs. George Patter? son has charge of this donation, and designs disposing of it by raffle. Mr. Thomas H. Holcomb, of New Castle, Delaware, the celebrated stock raiser, has sent to Mr. William Crichton, one of the gentlemen mali? ngers, a thorough-bred Devon cow, valued at 8100, which will be dis? posed of by raille. Mrs. Elder received, yesterday, through Mr. Charles P. Montague, n black setter dog, the donation of a gentleman in the Valley of Virginia. The animal is perfectly black, and said to be one of tho most valuable ol his kind in the country. He is to h< disposed of by rallie. -. - THE FENIANS.- The latest news w? have from the Fenian movement, wi find in despatches. to the August Constitutionalist, of Sunday. A british war steamer went to se: suddenly, on the 12th, from Bastport. It is reported that fifty of the ere-? mutinied and were put in irons. A fight occurred on thc 12th, ai Calais, between a party of Britisl soldiers, who had crossed over fron .St. Stephens, and a number of Fe nians. The former were driven bael over thc river. No lives lost. Tin citizens generally aided the Fenians A despatch from Toronto, on Sa tivrday, says that an ex-Coufederah officer was arrested at Cornwall, ol Friday, upon suspicion of his behn a Fenian. His commission was foun< upon him, and also a document fron Gen.

PtotruEss MON KOK, April 7.-It bas bean confidently whispered here, to? day; that it is in contemplation to ef? fect the removal from Itere to Bich mond of Jefl'. Davis on a -writ ot habeas corpus. It tho late proclamation of the President will admit of such step being taken, there can be no doubt of the readiness of plenty to make the effort. It isasserted that the Govern? ment would throw no serions obstacle in the way of accomplishing such a resnlt. By this step, the Govern-, ment, it is insisted, would lid itself of a responsibility it is more anxious than otherwise to get rid of, or, in other words, become relieved'of the care and custody offwhat has cornie to be regarded as a - very considerable elephant. Of oonrse, this is merest rumor anti assertion, founded on be? lief, having, possibly, no foundation whatever in fact. A strong coloring, however, is given to the rumor by the arrival, this morning, of Dr. Craven, former post surgeon, and, for mouths, the well-known medical attendant and adviser of Jeff. Davis. It will be re membered that it was through Dr. ! Craven's influence Mr. Davis was al j lowetl exercise, and through thia, and I his removal from the damp and un I wholesome casemate he had been, oc i cupving to Carroll Hall, the saving of ! his life-to such a very low physical i condition had he been reduced by his close confinement and the treatment j he had received-is generally and freely accredited.^ lt is also known i that since going from here Dr. Craven ! has spared no influence in his power i to have Mr. Davis brought to trial, if for no other reason, to bring his im? prisonment to a close, already pro? tracted nearly a year, and thereby not only settle the vexed question as to what shall be done with him, but un? questionably prolong his life. Justice requires it to be stated that, in taking such an active course on Mr. Davis' behalf. Dr. Craven has not been, and is not, actuated by any sympathy for the rebellion, or its acknowledged head and front in the person of Mr. Davis. His action has bren insti? gated by motives of simple justice and humanity toward his late distin? guished patient. Wc shall soon see what will come of it. lu the mean? while, the great e\-rebel chieftain himself continues on the even tenor of his way, pretty much as for months past. His obdurate will and intense prill?- of character have borne him np thus far; but there is an end to hu? man endurance, and the words, "1 breathe and 1 can bear," of Byron, , must merge into a poetic fiction. It is becoming thus with Davis. An ollicer told me, to-day, that li?: felt sure he would not live the summer out if kept in prison. I Cor. -Ve.e York Herald. Every radical, upon Iiis arrival here, rushes to the White House wit!) the inquiry, "Why don't yon try Jei?. Davis and hang hiinV" Thc President replies to these importuni? ties that he is not a public execu? tioner; that there are some ??Uof thc accused, perhaps some of whom are now in prison awaiting trial by order of Congress or of the United Stated courts. Take them, he says, and hang them if you will, but you won't make me your Jack Ketch. The United States Supreme Court has adjourned without making any at? tempt to bring Mr. Davis or anybody else to trial, though under thc Act establishing the judicial system ol the United States, the court has tht power to order a special session ol any circuit court at any time. Chid Justice Chase cannot now object thal Virginia is in a state of insurrection, but he and other members of thc court probably believe that Mr. Davis will be acquitted of the ehurge o. treason if tried in any Stato lately it rebellion. Congress, no doubt, en tertains the same opinion. Congress is now about to be brough by Mr. Raymond's resolution to j decision upon this subject, and i they refuse to take upon themselves the responsibility of action in th matter, it would not be surprising i the President shoidd order that Jef ferson Davis and his confederates b paroled or dismissed Cains ar taken, it will be seen, by the Presi dent's friends to exonerate him fron all tho blame of the delay in bringitij Messrs. Davis, C. C. Clay and other to a trial for treason.- IVashinalo Correspondence Baltimore Sun. The correspondent of the Tribun writes : ''The House Judiciary Com mitte have called on thc Bureau of Militar Justice for information as to the tc: timony against Jeff. Davis. Anion that evidence, which is mainly eil cumstautial, but of closely fittin links, is an autograph letter of Dav favoring the assassination of the Pn sident, and written by him aft? Booth bad informed him that tli plan to kidnap the President had t be abandoned as impracticable-. Tl records of the secret service of tl I Confederacy have also been procure '. by Cen. L. C. Baker, and will thro much light upon many of their inf motts schemes." But the correspondent of the Ph ( iadelphia Ledr/er, usually reliabl I and, we are sure, much better ai thority in this instance, tells a dine ent story. He says : ' The evidence which tho coxumi tee appointed to-day are instruct* j to procure from the Government, ai ! which is supposed to connect Dav with the assassination plot, can 1 j given most speedily, as it is knov that the Administration has no ei dence of a reliable kind in it? posses? sion. Such being tba case, the sub? committee will make an/carly report upon the subject, and there the mat? ter will drop. As to the/inquiry re? specting his trial for treason, asking why he has not been tried. Congre? haft the answer already."' It may be well to remind the reader that the "General L. C. Baker" spoken of by tlie Tribune is the same individual who was recently convicted in a high court in "Washington city of a crime which dooms him to con? tempt, if not to infamy. AN ENGLISH FroiTTVB ARRESTED AND Saar BACK.-The new steamship City of Paris, which arrived on the 2d instant, brought from Liverpool among her passengers, Benjamin Howard Wilkins, a native of Eng? land, about thirty-eight years of age. Prior to the arrival of the steamship, the police authorities in New York had received information that Wilkins ! was a confidential clerk in a bank at ? Worcester, England, and had com milted a .series of forgeries, by which ; he bsd gained $25,000, and that ho had endeavored to escape by taking passage for America. \ Detective Farley, of the Metr?poli- . tan force, was detailed by Capt. ? Young to work up the case and effect | the arrest of the alleged defaulter and ' forger, and he at once instituted j inquiries. Learning by an exam i - ! nation of thc list of passengers on I the City of Paris that Wilkins had arrived in New York, the detective i had no difficulty in tracing him to a quiet boarding house in Brooklyn, I and on proceeding thither experi? enced no difficulty in securing his prisoner. On being'arrested, Wilkins confessed to having committed the forgeries with which he was charged, . and soon after he was handed over to Detective Whitehouse, of the London force, who had arrived in pursuit of ! the prisouor. The transfer was made in accordance with the provision bf | the Extradition Treaty. Wilkins made no opposition to j being sent back to England for trial, j and he was placed on board the steam- j ship Australasian by the London de- I tective, and he is now on his way to j Great Britain to await his trial for ; forgery and defalcation, the steamer having sailed yesterday afternoon j from her dock in Jersey City. As soon as he was comfortably I domiciled-in Brooklyn, Wilkins wrote I to his wife and family, requestiug '?. them to come on and join him, and it is supposed that before lie ar- ? rives at Liverpool, his wife and chil? dren will have set sail for this country. Wilkins evidently had no suspicion that he hail been so successfully traced, and that he was on the eve of being arrested. Detective Farley deserves credit for the successful man? ner in which he worked up the case. [JVeic York Times, C/?. A SINGULAR CASE.-Tn August, 1864, a man named Grady murdered i Fergus Collins, at Elizabeth, New I Jersey, and absconding, enlisted in thc United States army. What fol? lowed is thus related by a corres? pondent: After the rendering of the inquest verdict, the subject was left suspend? ed-unexplained-a mystery-until Grady revived it; doing so from this cause: Grady, while marching with Sherman's column, when it was ope? rating in the rear of Charleston, S. C., became on a certain occasion en? tangled in a morass, and finding him? self gradually sinking, with the pros? pect of speedily dying there-for he L'ould not help himself out-he so? lemnly vowed to God, if the same would release him, that he would make a clean breast of the circum? stances attending tl ie Collins affair; then, as if by God's directiou, a strag? gler of a Massachusetts regiment ap? proached him and helped him out. i On arriving at Goldsboro, N. C., and when the army was encamped there, ! he made a statement in regard to the matter, in accordance with his vow, which led to his arrest by the mili? tary authorities. Thc usual legal forms being gone through with, he was handed over to the civil authori? ties, and conveyed from Goldsboro, N. C., io the Union County (New Jersey) jail, and lately tried ou an indictment for murder in the first de? gree, and found guilty and sentenced to be hung. -.>- - - DEATH WHILE UNDER THE INFLL HNCE OF CHLOROFORM.-Mrs. Latetia S. Lister, wife, of Thomas S. Lister, whose residence is on Fourth street, above German, went, in company with a female acquaintance, yester? day afternoon, to the rooms of Mr. Slack, dentist, to have teeth extract? ed. Being delicate, and fearful that slit; would suffer much from the operation, she requested Mr. S'ackto administer chloroform, which he did in a quantity, as he thought, suited to the physical condition of the lady. He was proceeding to extract the teeth when the patient was observed tobe in spasms. An effort was at ouce made to restore her to conscious ness, but though all proper means were used, it was unsuccessful, and she died in a few minutes. I Philadelphia Ledger, HM. The Government members of the New Brunswick Parliament have ten? dered their resignations. A member of the opposition has been chosen by the Governor to form a new Govern? ment.

The special Washington correspond? ant of the Chicago Times has the following in reference to the relationr between the President and General Gr rant: A writer in the Chicago Tribune, liter taking it for granted that the x>up d'etat will be attempted, consoles himself with the belief that General Girant will be found on tho side of Congress and against the President. He is very much mistaken. General Girant, always wisely reticent on po? litical subjects, ia more reticent thau iver just now; but ho hos said enough ivithin two weeks to convince all who neard him that he is the fast and firm friend and adviser of tho President, iud that his only complaint on this score is that the President "has not jone far enough. " The radicals have mudo desperate efforts to convert the Lieuteunnt-General, but they have not succeeded. Washburne has pledged to him tho next Presidency, though it was diffi? cult to find out by whom he was au? thorized todo so; but it hos hod no effect. General tirant lias done too much for the cause of the Union to be alienated by a party of Northern ilisunionists from the sympathy with % man who is honestly and sincerely endeavoring to give to the country tho fruits of the victories of Gettys? burg, Vicksburg and Richmond. I repeat that I am very confident the President has never entertained the idea of using force to interrupt the revolutionary proceedings of the thirty-niuth Congress, but they aie greatly mistaken who believe that Genend Grant eithe: sides with Con? gress or is an indifferent spectator of the exciting scenes now being enacted here. He and all his stafl' are to-day the warmest frionds that Andrew Johnson has got in the United States, and nothing has been done so far by the President, nor in all likelihood will be done iu the future, that has not and will not meet the hearty ap proval of the Lieutenant-General. We understand that Gen. Braxton Bragg is living ona farm in Alabama, acting as agent for another person, and that he has lost all he owned be fore the war. Whatever may have been the prejudices against him iu tlio past, all true Southern meu and women must sympathize with Gen. Bragg in his present misfortunes.
