C .- i BST" Speaking of the suppression of the Hich- -m r . tit . ... mona iiiXarainer, tne asmngton eorrespunucui, ; of "the Philadelphia Ledger writing from Rich : mond says : The Richmond Examiner was suppressed by order of Gen. Grant. The Lieutenant General remarked to-day the newspapers in the South were doing more to hinder, the work of recon struction, by keeping alive the spirit of hatred between the two sections, than all the politicians in the land put together. and hinted that he had determined to stop the publication of such treasonable sheets. The Examiner was sup - ' pressed I hear, because of its burlesque of the Union ball, given under the auspices of General Terry. The General expected to grve another ball yesterday evening, and the Examiner was suppressed the same night, so that its pugna cious and pungent editor was deprived of the pleasure of presenting his secesh readers with another spicey dish at the expense of our gal lant heroes and their fair companions.'4 S The President has revoked - the order suppressing the Examiner, it is said, on certain conditions. Gen. Grant has issued an order to command- ers of Military Departments directing them to send to his Headquarters copies of such news- 1 r pa puis us uuiiLiiiia ecuiiujciiio ut uiaioyauy uuu hostility t tho'Government in any of its bran ches." "This information," says the General, ":s called for with a view to their suppression, which will be done from tkese headquarters only." Wonder if this order applies to Northern? pa pers as well as Southern? If so; we hope some one will send to Gen. Grant copies of the Philadelphia- Inquirer Washington Chronicle and other Yankee papers', that not only continually abuse .and misrepresent the .Southern people, but assail the President and his policy for re storing the Union. We have no objections to the order if it is to be enforced in toth sections. Maj. Gee. Wc learn that the trial of this gentleman will take place during the present week. He was at one time in charjrc of the Confederate prison at Salisbury, and we learn that the charges against him grow out of the treatment of the prisoners at that place. We. are informed that he enjoys the highest reputation in Florida as an emiuent physician, and us a most humane and kind man. His family originally went from this State, and they are among the best citizens. of Florida. The citizens of that State feel an intense interest in his case, and feel confident that nothing affect-H ing the personal honor and high gentlemanly qualities of the Dr., can be sustained against him.

The gas companies of New York, having re- cently adopted the plan of sending bills to the houses of customers instead of to their places of business, the thieves have also taken advantages of the change, and now appear with ficticious bills. While the servant goes to find the mis tress of the house, the rascals seize auything they find and make off. A Washington correspondent says that the National Express Company, of which General Joe Johnston is President, have instituted a suit against the Virginia Central Railroad, and other roads, who have, for two millions, of dol lars, sold to Adam's Express Company the ex clusive right to carry express matter over their respective roads for a period of four years, un less other companies pay an equal amount, which, of course, no other company can do.

We find in an exchange, a series of letters irotn numerous parents and .guardians addressed to a London journal, which startle us with ac-. counts of the infliction of corporeal punishment upon Younjr ladies, of sixteen or eighteen years - 1 of age, in the fashionable and popular female " ! schools in Ensland. These letters have given rise to a discussion of the subject of school dis cipline, in which many educated English wo men take ground in favor of the practice of flog ging girls from the time of their first entrance until the completion of their education The authenticity ofthese statements is not question ! ed, except as to. tho degree or prevalence of the j barbarous custom -the apologists for the schools ; denying that it la general, but avowing that it is, ana snculd be retained as a punishment for grave offences. One correspondent writes : "hen an offence of sufficient magnitude" takes' place, the culprit enters it in the book herself, and carries the re- ; port to the lady superintendent, who writes un- der it the amount of punishment. For the first offe nee the delinquent is prepared for punish ment, but generally pardoned ; for the second, she is whipped privately; for all subsequent do- j linqucnctcs the punishment takes place in the' j school room on the "horse;" and in addition to j the pain it inflicts, it costs in money, about one shilling in fees. This is the system : First, she Proceeds to the housekeeper to procure the rod 1 T- 7 , " V " , y i she has to be partly undressed by the maid, and this costs two pence; thirdly, she has then to walk barefooted to another part of the house, to be robed for punishment, a peculiar dress be ing used to add to the disgrace. -It is a long linen blouse, short cotton ocks and slippers. The young lady, thus dressed, now proceeds to the drawing room to be inspected by the lady superintendent. Having been Approved, she is then conducted to the school room, when she has to pay sixpence to the governess who inflicts the punishment. A wooden horse, covered with soft leather, is the medium of castigation. The delinquent then thanks the " governess, kisses the rod, and retires to her own room, to appear no more until the next morning." . As to what constitutes "an offenee of sufficient magnitude to merit castigation," the .testimony is that the most trivial delinquencies such as hardly" merit a" rebuke, are so 'regarded. A young lady eighteen years of oijq and engaged to he married, being at a large school to com plete her education with a course of English lit erature, presumed to correct a teacher for a mis quotation. This was her first and only offence. When her class was dismissed she was summon ed to. the school room, and there in spite of her remonstrances and indignation, she was forcibly seized and laid across a desk, and the lad su perintendent administered to her twelve sharp cuts with a Lirch. This outrageous procedure iovolviog a most indecent exposure. of the per son of the victim, was enacted before the whole assembled school. Ic is gratifying to add that the guardian of the young lady, an Irish gentle man, succeeded in decoying the- " lady superin tendent." into bis house, where in the presence of a few select friends, he repeated upon her de serving cuticle her own cruel performance on the person of his ward, only Varying it by the addition of ten extra strokes, well applied, with a birch rod, procured for the especial purpose from Eton school. ' These accounts are from only two letters of a numerous series of like character. The Forthcoming Cabinet Change- On the 4th of March next, it is said, the Presi dent will announce three new members of his Cabinet, one, if not two, of whom will'be from across the'line. Meanwhile those gentlemen who are to vacate are announcing, in advance, that the action will be purely their own, and the cause, the refusal of the President to en dorse the measures of the Radical party. Ex-President Pierce, on the State of the Country General Pierce, by request, briefly addressed the New Hampshire Democratic Convention-on Wednesday last. He said he was gratified at seeing so many present, but begged to be excused from making a speech. The De mocratic party had stood like faithful men upon the principles of their fathers, and have been denounced as hostile to the Union by a body of men who, as far as he had been able to judge, had done nothing but denounce that Union. The President of the United States was an hon est, highminded, patriotic magistrate; his mes sage was an admirable one, and he has gone on in a way that' should satisfy most of men who desire to see what can be saved instead of what can be destroyed. His steps have so far been marked with courage, wisdom and statesmanlike forecast; if he continues to stand where he is, there is light in the future. We are often ssk ked when a change will come, and he thought it would be made apparent when people are brought to look to something higher than the. perpetuation of party power. It would be ab ject to despair of the Republic, and no true man would do it, come what may. The ex-Prest-dent ou retiring was heartily cheered. .

It will not d0 in the experimental era in which we .find ourselves, to count too confidently upoa a cer tain yield of cotton. Ours is an uncertain re gion at best for the growth of this -"staple, be sides, labor may be wanted when most needed, as when the grass is rank in, the field, and if not to be had then, the crop is doomed. The sea sons may not be propitious and worms may sal ly forth like guerrillas blighting whatever they touch. . It is just as well to prepare against any evil contingency, rather than take a gambler's haz ard of fortuitous results. We have. forsome time urged upon our planters to try a cotton crop, butwe never dreamed that the cultivation of corn was therefore to be abandoned 1 Ibut a small crop of corn is to be raised in 4tne south, we grarvely apprehend partial lamine in the year to come . This section has been for many years consid ered one of the great granaries of the South, and annually had a large surplus of corn to sell. But matters have greatly changed within a few years, and if the few laboring men wei'have left are to be devoted to the cultivation of cotton, to the exclusion of Corn, verily, we can see nothing but trouble ahead. We are in a "bad streak of luck," arrtl famine effay be in the list of our fu ture trials if wc do not heed. We call upon our planters -to weigh these suggestions and act upon tfiem if they are worthy of consideration. The immediate result of the cotton mania amongst our planters, is to put up the price of corn in this market. . They propose to hold on to their old corn and to live off it, through this year, hence they must stopshipping at once." Interview between the President etutd lion Henry J. Raxmond. . .The Washington Republican of last Tuesday afternoon says : On Friday last the President "had a free con versation with a congressional representative from New York C'ly-" We do not deem it a violation of any confidence, since a publication is made of what occurred, to state that the rep-, resentative was the Hon. Henrv J. Iavuond. The result of the conversation is the more iiu- portant from the fact that Mr" Raymond is not only a representative in Congress, and the editor of one of the leading republican journals in' the country, but he is also chairman of the national executive "committee, of the great Union party in the United States, and hence, in the latter capacity, is charged 'with high and important responsibilities. His constituency is not con fined to a single representative district of New York, but takes in every man who voted for Lincoln and Johnson. Therefore it is that his words and acts in the. Times, and especially in Cc.ni-'ress, are watched, weighed and criticised with more than ordinary interest and care.. It is for these reasons that Mr Raymond's own ed itorial account of his interview with President Johnson possesses more importance than it oth erwise would. . . But the most interesting point in this inter view was that concerning the party relations of the President. Upon the representative remark ing "that some persons might take, or jjrofess to take the President's speech to the negroes as an indication that he was at variance with his par ty friend., and that some others migh endeavor to found upon it the charge that he was prepar ing to go over," Ihe President sailed and an swered "that if the party which opposed his election indulge in any great expectations on that score, they were likely to be disappointed. He might differ with individuals of what was called the Union party as to .the means to be used, but he considered himself in general ac cord with that party, as a whole, in the ends to be reached. He was not a party man, and he meant to sink the partisan in the patriot. . But so far a3 he understood the sentiments of the Union party, he was m general accord with it." In subsequent remarks he was even more point ed on this matter, saying that he "proposed to fight his battles within the lines of the party which elected him to office. He might differ j with some of his friends, and he should feel t wholly at liberty to so differ, and to state the ground of his contrary belief or epioioo; but he considered himself identified with the great Union party, and had no desire or intention of being found outside." Slaughter Among Horse-Thilves-- Tbe.t Memphis Commercial mentions the deprcda-j tions of a gang of horse-thieves in Tishomingo i and Itawamba counties, Mississippi, and the ter? ; mioation of their operations.

Anil they really believe so, and think i( very singular that men and women who have "taken the oath" and been the recipients of Executive clemency, should, behave so. They lose sight of the fact that a man may faithfully support the Constitu tion of the Uniooi- be thoroughly loyal to. tho govcrnmeht, obey the President and all the laws, and still accord to the military and civil officsrs of the government nothing more than the com mon civility and distant iotercouise, These officials who pronounce against'Southern loyalty because they are ostracized from the. privileges and enjoyment of -Southern society,- commit a grave and radical error in confounding then stives with the Constitution, the Government and the laws, (to which, our loyalty is due and is given,) of which they are ia nowise, a parL The matters of which they complain are ques tions of taste and not of loyalty; they jhould recollect that ''there is no accounting for taste, tt i Land if they are not freely admitted within the precincts of our social circles it is because, per haps, of a perverted taste on-the part of our people, and according to the manner in which they have been raised. . It is not the fasJiion yet awhile for our people tq.be "hail fellow, well met," in balls aud around firesidea, with those whose bullets and swords have draped them with mourning and made these very. halls aud. hearthstones, sad and desolate. We are neither more nor less than human beings, and, because we cannot help it, army officers,. Fede ral civil officials and the mousing and smelling committee must forgive as. "To err is human, to forgive, divine." Wti think it very strange that Northern men should expect to be received with outbursts of" joy into the folds of Southern society. They, should esteem it a wonderful triumph of charity and Christianity that they should be treated with uniform respect, courtesy and good breed ing by our people. Having constantly - before their eyc the evidences of our recent great suf ferings; knowing that out country has'lecn laid waste by their fire and sword, and our cities levelled by their -ahot and shell,. how can they expect to be treated as bosom friends and ad- vauccd to the highest seats in or social syna gogues? Fashion is despotic, and fashion has flot accorded to them the highest enjoyments of Southern society. While confiscation and dis- franchisement hang over us; while armies of occupation darken our land, and the edicts of military chieftains overthrow the maturely con sidered laws of our legislatures; while, our re presentatives are excluded from Congress, and bitter pens and tongues impugn our motive, make light of our sufferings and sacrifices,. and are clamorous for our further putiishment, ia the name of heaven and humanity, can they ex pect us to cat, drink and ileep with them in places yet warm and sacred with the memories of our dead heroes? They should recollect that, wc still smart under the pain of failure, and that the voices of their triumphant rejoicings still ring in our ears; that we are still treated as un subdued, "rebels," to be kept under by sword and bayonet.
