p - . - COI/XJMBIA. F iday Jtorning, July ISO, 1806. ? Thc Kow Bwtim Bin. g \ We publish, this morning, the ne-v Freedmeu's. Burean bill, just passed by the radicals of Congress over th? . Preshtent** veto. "We do thia simply for the information of oar readers, t.?iat they may fully understand tho iniquitous programme embraced in its provisions. It would be of little'1 use to comment at any length, ou the unjnst and oppreaoive'featnr?s of th e " bill, or to dwell upon tho unfriendly, not to say utterly hostile, spirit winch manifests itself in every sectiou and" paragraph of the measure. It would bo of no use to tell our readers that -it eontai?s the radical principles of spoliation, confiscation and plunder, of the publie "treasury--this, by a perusal, they willsee for themselves; and, farther,"it would be of no use to do so, now that it has become a law, requiring' our submission, and that in our present coudition we are power? less to have it repealed. Under these - circumstances, were we to undertake to denounce the main features of this bill, we might be told, as Secretary Seward told Governor Perry, that we were-"qaerulous," and therefore we drop it, commending its perusal to all interested, with the admonition that it is now a law of the land, and that, as good and "loyal" ci li zens, they must abide by it. There may come a time-and como it will-when the Southern States, restored to their rightful representa? tion in the National Legislature, with tho aid of the conservative represen? tation from the North, will be able to expunge this Act from the statute books of the country. Until then, abide the issue; if not cheerfully, ak least with patience, fortitude an d re? signation, and personate ;that great Christian virtue, charity, which, the apostle tells us, "beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth nil things, and endureth all things." ^We had hoped to give our readers, this morning, the antitode with the hunty, but, owing-to the failure of the Richmond and New York papers, we have not received iu time for publi? cation, tho message of the. President . ' vetoing this bilk -,-.-_ This Picture anil That. Major Johnson, of the United States army, as we learn from the Petersburg papers, who is now super? intending the removal of the Federal dead from along the lines around thal city, whenever he has come across tht gravo of a Confederate soldier, he lias had the body disinterred, placet; in a coffin, buried in a* spot adjoin ing the Federal grave-yard, and had the grave marked. Some hundred ol our dead have thus been removed, ant Major Johnson will soon furnish n Hst of them for publication. Sach noble conduct stands out it pleasing contrast with that of otho offic'als and meddling radical letter scribblers, who think of nothing bu treason in the very simple ornament and emblems with which our ladie chose to adorn the graves of the nobl dead. But there is good and bad i; every condition of human life, and while we are bound to condemn th folly of the latter, we nre alway pleased to commend thc generou deeds of the former, no matter wher found. In this particular instanci Major Johnson gives us proof, if vi had no other, that he must be a brav aud true-hearted soldier. TAKE CARE.-The Wilmington p? pera inform us that the ladies of thi city have set apart Saturday, the 211 instant, for the purpose of decoratic the graves of the Confederate des who have found a resting place i Oakdale Cemetery. . Uno ladies snould see that they c not drive this "political eugine" b yond the "loyal" speed, and let the beware of radical newspaper corre pendents, lest their mottoes and 1 nocent emblems be construed as h e sonable.

We now lum with pleasure to the letter of another curresponti? ent of that paper. Mr. B. C. Truman, who 2ms been traveling in company wi Ut Generals S teed ru au and Fuller? ton. Mc Truman write* fcrojn Charleston : '- **i have not been in South Carolina lou]; enough, may be, to get a correct irles ?? thc people. Bnt from what I have seen of the peojdo at the hotels, aud on the streets, and at other public pinces, 1 do not hesitate to declare that they are as loyal ae the great body of Southerners tp be found in any of trio seceded States. Although they aro not strictly a - Yankee-roving people, yet they obey all laws, pay their taxes,'and have lorever renounced all hopes, if not all inclinations, indeed, of a separate rationality. ??These people eau l>e trusted-there is na mistake about them. If our politicians ?nd oditors of a malicious stripe, and theirs ditto, would cease war, we would be as strongly united in feeling as we nre by law-tho latter of whioh there ia, of course, no question." It is evident that this writer WAS long enough in the State to form a correct opinion of tho position and sentiments of her people. His im? pressions aro exactly right, and very truly pbotogi-aphthe views entertain? ed by tke mas? of thc people of Sou tl. Carolina. Ile says that the author; of those innumerable letters from tht South, who charge.the Southern poo pie as disloyal, are "bud, scheming eharaotcrs, with no fear of God ir their hearts, or humanity in theL compositions," and asserts that ?1 their statement>< ure "unmitigated falsehoods." He says the writers of those letter* ?re : "Freedmen's Bureau officers, wh< h a YO got a good thing, and want U keep it; officers of colored regiments who dislike the idea of going back t< tape measuring; purchasers of pro porty at the direct tax sales, sutler' clerks aud others. But what is mos strange, is tho fact that many of ou people believe these stories, all o which aro base falsehoods, and con coe ted for base purposes; most of tht authors of whom ore heartless adfeu tnrera, who eke out a nefarious exist ence by gouging the freedmen am misrepresenting the whites." lt is refreshing in theso time* when the press of Stevens' party i so very much prostituted to part ends, to turn to the record of a truth fnl writer, whoso very utterance and language carry with them tb convictions of fairness and tm tl Tho honesty of this writer cannot b doubted, for lin admits that he toke his views from a republican stan* point, and acknowledges thai he w; one "who gloried in the dostructio of slavery, ami the whipping of th Southern people;" but he emphat cally Kays that he has failed to disci vor that "uniform disloyalty" ati thoao "nest of traitors" so msc spoken of by "Treasury agents, ?/.'? cotton thieve?." That is right; 1 persons as well as things bo called 1 thoir proper names.

Thew committees have re 1 cei div visited Louisville and Ci nein I nati. Their report is favorable-and , having been successful in enlisting ' tba sympathies and efforts of the citi? zens of these cities of the West in their efforts to make tho proposed connection between them and the city of Charleston, by means of tho Blue Ridge Railroad, there is great encou? ragement that this enterprise will Ix? in time completed. Again, wo have auother enterprise tending to the same end, which wo hope will not expend itself iu "talk." One of our exchanges informs us that tho people of Virginia are talking of building a city at Newport News, in ' that State, which shall rival, they say, the city of New York, at least for the trade oi the grout West. Near j Newport News is the mouth of the James liiver, and ii is stated that j from that splendid harbor thc dis j tance to Cincinnati is shorter by 193 j miles than from Cincinnati to Balti more, and 21X1 miles shorter than I from the furnier eily to New York, j It is argued, in behalf of this con? nection, that the travel along the line will not l>e affected by.the inclemency j of winter. In addition to all these advantages, the prospect for the en? terprise is promising, as Northern capitalists have furnished tho - moan." to finish the Covington and Ohic Railroad within three years, and o French company has deposited witli Hie State Government ?3,000,000 a^ security for thc completion of tin James River and Kauawhu (.'anal. We. earnestly trust all these mag ni ficent enterprises will bc pushed to i successful termination: for if any twr sections of ouriconntry, viewing tin subject either politically or with re gard to the advancement of the mtv teriul interests of both, should becomt commercially united, it ought to b< the great produce markets of tin West and tho Atlantic sea port citin o? tho South.

The Virginia Enterprise, says A very animated discussion en sued between counsel, both exhibit ing considerable warmth in thei arguments, and the point was iiuall submitted to the honorable judge fo decision. Judge Burbank said h should in this matter endeavor to d justice to all purties concerned, ll was liable to be in error in hi opinions. " He had been before, an he might be on this occasion, il ably reviewed the points at issue, i presented by counsel on both side: He would give no arbitray deeisio in thc, matter of civil rights bill, bi did not consider that it annulled tb provisions of the Constitution of tl :->?ate of Nevada.

VICTOR EMANUEL'S CHIEF SION.

What he said was of much interest, and we shall give it as nearly UM pos? sible in his own words, while still fresh in our not unreliable memory. "The Fenian attempt," said our informant, "was far more formidable than is commonly believed. They hail, so far as I could judge, certainly nut less than 25.000 men on the scene of their proposed notion. They claimed to havo twice that number, but tlioy were not visible. "These 25-,OOO men were chiefly veterans of the late rebellion-a few thousand ?rom the South ; but a great majority from tho lovel Irish soldiers of the North. "Their arms and uni munition were abundant und excellent, 1 had a room twice larger than thia"-the spacious shief office of the Citizen "filled with my captures of such material.v Their wen pons wore chiefly Spencer rifles of the best qiudity, and their ammunition to cor? respond. "That they could aud would have takeu Montres!, there, can be nc doubt As little, that 20,000 Eng? lish veterans, at least, would havi been required to stop them. * Tl?

"The officers were nearly all veterans of the Union armies, ant behaved as weil as could be wished They gave uo trouble when notifi?e of arie'st, but did their utmost tr secure obedieuoe from their men ti the summons ol the United States fo their surrender. "Th? country people, aud indee* a majority of the troops sent to sup press them, were warmly iu favor o tho Feui>u enterprise. The cou ?tr people lent tl:nir wagons, horses am personal services to carry away an hide thc stores o? the inte mic raiders, so that I had much diffit ult in many of the capt urns. "lt was ia tho Eastern portion c St. Lawrence, Franklin aud Clint o Counties, idowg the frontier, that th Feuiau depots were chiefly located and in these regions all the peopl were Fenian sympathizers, ami the able-bodied ?'ere only one line r< moved from becoming Fenian soldier "I believe the attempt will 1 renewed this tali; and told an En*: lish officer-who appeared astonishe thereby-that, in my judgment, th Calindas could not bu held with le: than 2*>,00?or 30,000 British regular XJie r?.'gnlacs that were there, wei mOBtly green soldiers and could in liavo withstood the Irish veteran The militia would have run like f many frightened sheep; in fact. ; they did run in the few sligl encounters that were had. "The mistake of tho Fenians wa that they allowed too much talkil anti wiiling about their contempl?t' movements. Tht y should have c. lected all their men uud material aloi the frontier-their equipments we plentiful aud good-without alio' one wend to leak out of what tin were doing.
