Kinard, Newberry. Samuel Drouthitt, Creen ville C. H. Wm. Moore, Abbeville C. H. Julius Poppe, Anderson C. II. Poisoning (He Ulinda of Children. During tho past week, we have como across a book which seems to ns to exceed anything before given to the public, both in falsehood as to facts and in vulgarity as to style. The book is "The Child's History of the Great Rebellion." published by the Harpers, and it is sufficient to stamp that house with ineffable infamy, if they never again publish another book of the kind. In order that our readers may form some idea both of the style and contents of this infa? mous volume, which is to be put into hands of the youth of our land, we give a few choice extracts. Referring to the secession of South Carolina, the writer says: "These bad and foolish men now said the long wished-for pretext had come, and that tho Union must be dissolved. The State Governor, one Gist, called his Legislature, and sent word to them that the Stato ought to secede. The United States Judge, one Magrath, who had taken an oath to be faithful to the United States, took off his robes in open court, and declared that the United States of? ficers had no farther business in South Carolina. The South Carolina Sena? tors in Congress resigned-a good riddance!" "A good riddance'" to those whom the writer denounces as traitors for going! Again, referring to Mr. Bu? chanan's Cabinet, he says: "His Cabinet was full of traitors. The Secretary of the Treasury, How? ell Cobb, labored with a will to ruin the credit of the United Suites, re? signed when he could do no more mischief, and became a rebel general. The Secretary of War, Floyd, sent to the South all the arms he could lay hands on, stole some money, and then ran away, and became a rebel general. The Secretary of the Inte? rior, Jacob Thompson, stole a mil? lion, ran away, and became a rebel general." Considering that it has been proved, over and over again, that all the above charges of stealing are ab? solutely false, tho coolness with which they are here stated as historical facts is, to say the least, refreshing. Again, hear the wretch tell how Mr. Bucha? nan turned "green," and wrung his "yellow" hands. Fine reading for clildren, truly: "Mr. Stanton boldly told tho Pre? sident that further parley with rebels "was treason, on which feeble Bucha? nan turned green with fright, and wrung his hands in abject imbecility. " "Mr. Buchanan looked on coolly, wringing his yellow hands, and the rebel batteries grew by the rood each day." Here is a lie out of whole cloth : ^ "Those Northern men who are Vfc-iends of the rebels bellowed franti? cally for peace; a regiment was raised - in New York to fight for the South, and many Northern newspapers as sured the rebels that if it came to war, there would be as many North? ern men on their side as against them." Who raised a regiment in New York to fight for the South? Just listen to tho sneering way which he refers to the patriotic efforts of ex-Presi? dent Tyler to prevent the horrible war through which we have passed : "There was a droll body which met at Washington, under tho Presidency of shuffling Captain Tyler, and called itself a Peace Conference. This droll hotly met to see if anything would satisfy the South, but the wholesale eating of dirt by the North; on inquiry, the South said, 'No, nothing would do but the eating of dirt wholesale;' and so this droll body adjourned." Here is something absolutely fiend? ish. Referring to the killing of Gene? ral McCook, in Tennessee, by a band of guerillas, he says: "I Confess that I am not quito as sorry a.% perhaps, I ought to be when I tell you that this gallant hero's regiment, hearing of his death, ob? tained leave to visit the place where he was murdered, and burnt down every house within ten miles of the ac? cursed spot!" This is a sample of thc amiable and Christian spirit of this volume for the youth of our laud! Can any one conceive of a book to be placed in the hands of children more damnable, moro fiendish than such as the above indicate this to be? And yet these extracts are but a sam? ple of the entire volume. Such wretches as Butler are praised and endorsed to the fullest extent, while every person opposed to the war ol? in the ranks on the opposite side is put down as a scoundrel and avillaiu. I New York Neus. "Thc Groans of tin- Britons." It affords us infinite pleasure to read the lugubrious complaints made by Forney against the President. Hear his lamentations: "Andrew Johnson's conspiracy to destroy the great Republican Union party of America is being rapidly de? veloped. The signs are unmistaka? ble. It is now confidently asserted that Colonel Richard Coulter, of Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, has been fixed upon as the Johnson candidate for Governor, aud will be placed in nomination at Pittsburg, in July next, for the overthrow of the Republican Union party, the electiou of Clymer over Geary, the oblitera? tion of thc Republican majority in Congress, and the admission of the rebels into the Senate and House. There is not a County iu Pennsylva? nia iu which Republicans ure not to be tempted by patronage to aid in its demoralization and defeat. The bu? siest man iu this .shameless treachery is the President himself. Foreseeing that lie cannot force his policy through Congress, he has determined, nuder the guidance of William H. Seward, to employ the ready and re? vengeful ageucies of the copperheads of the North and the traitors of the South to bring it about. Corrupt politicians are of course ready to seil out. You can see them waiting for their pay around you; and a very few, whose Republicanism has been noisy, are prepared to defend 'my policy' in return for a lucrative office. If thc people are not themselves vigilant, resolute, and proof to all the blandishments of patronage and power, a short time will see the aris? tocracy of the South restored to that fatal ascendancy which safely pre? pared and speedily precipitated the rebellion." Alas, for Forney! He sees but n poor prospect of getting into the Senate. Mu. SEW ABD.-Whilst Mr. Seward would have entitled himself to in? finitely m re credit hud he taken more decided ground in behalf of the President at the time of the veto of the Freedmen's Bureau bill-had he confessed the open breach between the President and Congress, instead of endeavoring himself to conceal it we nevertheless regard him as .thc true friend of the proper policy of recon? ciliation. Ho has used his influence very earnestly of late, wc believe, to give all possible strength to that policy. Wc have good reason for this conclusion, and good reason to believe that lie entertains enlarged and liberal views on the state of the country. He is especially grieved at the nature of tho present conflict and the bitter war upon the South. We have good authority for ascribing to him the honorable and just sentiment th.it "// is cowardly to continue the quarrel when the war is ended." j Richmond Dispatcli. JACK HAMILTON, OF TEXAS.-Gov. Hamilton is managing affairs in Texas pretty much ns Brownlow manages them in Tennessee. The Nashville Union and American sr.ys of him: Wo know Jack Hamilton well. Ho started in Alabama as a merchant's clerk; afterward?? went North and purchased a stock of goods on credit, sold them, put the money in his pocket, disappeared between two days, aud next turned up as a lawyer in Texas, where, through a course of years, he gained much more reputa? tion as an unprincipled pettifogger than as a jurist. In other words, he was universally held, wherever known by the bar of Texas, as a knave, and was watched and treated as such. His card now is to rule Texas, or make it a field of perpetual strife. The President has filled all the ap pointi. "nts in Virginia for the Inter? nal Revenue Department with parties who have taken the test oath. The Free Masons of Brooklyn, N. Y., have agreed upon the erection of a beautiful templo in that eity, to cost $300, OOH). W COTTON AND WOOL CARDS. HOLES ALE and retail by March 22 DIAL & POPE Engine, etc., for Sale.
