ScST" It will bo seen by order of Col. W arner, commanding thi post, that all peraons who Wish lo engage cr are engaged iu any business, are required to take the oath of allegiance to the Suited States. Capt. Huijiht, one of the Pro vost Jiarshakr, at the Charlotte .Bank, will'at Virtd to administering the oath. 3Jsuy pcrcuns arc inquiring as to) the nature cf the oath, aud we therefore give the following c.fy of it for public information : 1. A. B , do solemnly swear that I hereby re totroci! all countenance, support and allegiance to the so-called Confederate Statesof America, .nd to any Government, authority, power or Constitution whatsoever within the United States, hostile or inimical thereto; and I do lur- hrr swear that, to the best of my knowledge nd ability, I will (Mead und support kr$ Con- ftutuuoa oi me unuea elates against ail eue ie, foreign or domestic; arra I will bear true aith rud allegiance to he panic; that I will per form with fidelity ail duties whatsoever that may !ive been, or may hereafter be, imposed upon f,oed and loyal citizens; that I take this obliga tion freely, without any luer.tal reservation or M urpo&e of evasion ; and that 1 will well and il'aithfully discharge its claims. So help me God. T! i . . . iuose wno expect to tollow any occupation n this country have no alternative but to take file oath; and when they do take it, they must i-otoember that it is biuding. EST Many of the Northern papers are shoe ing their rpiteful, rerengeful feeling, by con tinuing to abu? the Bouth and southern people after all opposition to the United States hes ceased, and when they know that the southern people have no power to resent such insults. One paper- Harper's or Frank Leslie's has a carfcutureof southern females, with falie state merits and false representations. This is a very poor way to re-establish good fueling between the two sections. We are sure that no brave Northern man, who has met the southern people in battle, approves the conduct of such' northern editors as ?totc take occasion to abuse and insult Ui. So far as our knowledge extends, we have found the U. S. troops, ofiiecrs and men, now quartered among us, polite, respectful, liberal and gentletnauly they seem to earnestly desire that bygones should be bygones, aud that all again become friends; it is the politicians and shade-officers (or at least some of them) who are now abusing southern people and demanding their degredation and ruin. For their ' benefit we copy an extract from Gen. Sherman's letter dared ''Camp uear AJexandria, Va., May 19, 1865," as follows : "It is amusing to observe how brave and firm some men beegme when all danger is past. I have noticed on fields of battle brave men never insult the captured or mutilate the dead; bat cowards and laggard always do. I cannot now recall the act, but Shakspeare records bow poor Falstaff, the prince of cowards and wits, rising from a figured death, stabbed again 'the dead Percy and canied the carcase aloft in triumph to prove his valor. So now, when the rebellion in our land is dead, many Falstaffs a p peer to brand ish the evidence of thgir valor and seek to win applause, and appropriate honors for deeds that never were done." 'luihVKS. General complaint has recently ftan u-.ade about ths robbery of gardens aud hickco-rooit.s i this fowu aud vicinity, and t Ulievr soldiers have been suspected of couimit-i-og these depredations; but so Jkr aa the proof fchow, oegroes aretne guilty parties. Four ne -roes were caught last week stealing, onions and chicken!. Capt. Smith, the post Provost Mar thai, had the roirues paraded throunh the street 1 with -barrel-shirts on. bearincr acDrooriate ' in' wriptions, and carrying specimens of the. stolen operty. YVc hope Capt. Smith will succeed m breaking them of their thievish propensities. He never had the least idea that many nc ?roos would work if they could got a living iu any other way, but wo did not expect then to tfommenoe stealing ko soon after being declared irie. Their idea of freedom is to live, in idle esj and eat and sleep.

Sherman did more than . oy other living man to break the power of the Confed eracy and crush the "rebellion," and it is not surprising or strange that he should feel vexe4 at the Administration for not approving his ac tion in negotiating with Geo. Johnston. It seems that there is a Sherman party and a Stan ton or administaation party growing up alhe North. The New York Times of the 29tb says: " Unless all the reports tftit reach us from Washington are false, - Gen. Sherman is delib erately 'and ostentatiously making a personal i?sue with the Secretary of War (Mr Stanton) for an official act. lie took the occasion of a grand review, " ordered and held largely in his honor, and its the presence of a vast multitude assembled to rpjoiee in the' return ofpeace, to refuse the hand of Mr Stanton when tendered to him in friendly greeting. And an article pub lished in the Washington Chronicle n his in terest, and said to have been written by his bro ther, Senator Sherman of Ohio, proclaim? that unless Mr Stanton publicly , acknowledges the error of that official act, ho 'muot expect open defiance and insult, and neither his person nor his rank can fthield him." Gen Sherman and his friends claiut tfiat the treaty of peace which he made with Gen. John ston (and which was rejected by the authorities at Washington) was in accordance with au un derstanding between himself and President Lin coln. Gen. Sherman also complains that all his official letters and reports on the subject have not been published A DENIAL. Raleigh, N. C, June 1865.
