WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1866.
Visit to Fort Warren.
iNir.RKSTIM) iN'TEKI _BW WITH ALEX
ANDER H. Stephen- -A Day With '
JUDGE REACIAN, OI'TEXAS.
y„ the Editor of the .Vi hi York Herald- i
11...T.1-.. 11. luli-r 6, IW. ]
Having received n letter al Washing
ton from Judge John 11. Reagan, late
rebel Postmaster (;• neral under Presi
dent I-avis, iv which he expressed a de- .
sire to see me, I obtained a pass from the
Secretary of War and extended my visit
front New York to this city.
Yesterday morning I went down in
the government, bout to Fort Warren,
where I spent the day with Judge Kea
gan and lute Vice President Alexander
11. Stephens. As this latter gentleman
and myself grew up in tlie same neigh
borhood in Georgia, and as Judge Ilea
gan and myself hud served in the same
canvass against the Reopening of IheAf
rican-slave-trade-seoeselon Issue, I could
not have remembered subsequent politi
cal differences against them if I would.
I was politely received by the ofllcer
in command of the powerful fortress.,
which I will not pause to describe, and
conducted Immediately to the room of
Judge Reagan, without other question
than to know if 1 w- mid return in the
early boat or spend the day. Having
answered that I would not return uiilil i
evening, the olleei' left me in ondisturb- I
ed Intercourse with the unfortunatepris- i
oners the whole day. I found Judge
Reagan iv excellent health—l may say
robust. His face Ih a little bleached by i
cloSe confinement before his enlarge- I
im iii : but his frame seems te have ex- i
panded, ami his whole physique to have
gained new strength, lie WBB cheerful
I took a more philosophic view of his
ation than could one man in atllOUS
i under like circumstances. Inves
t whether bo many months ox hia
c were ever so studiously and prnli
ly employed as those during bis
tary confinement, lie has read a
at deal, which he seem _ to have ma
id well; has written out his early
rnoirs, which, as a man who had to
let against, misfortune and tho want
arly"opportunities- cannot fail to be
■resting ; has written some essays
n government and an address to the i
people of Texas, which he for warded
through the authorities to Governor
Hamilton. As it may have reached the
public prints, or may yet do so, I will
not do Judge Reagan the iiiju.ti.o of
trying to repeat the contents froropiem
ory. I cannot be mistaken howeve%
when I say, that Judge Reagan takes v
more comprehensive view than thous
ands who have retained their liberty.—
He not only cheerfully " accepts the sit
uation," but he recognize-, and accepts all
the logical conclusions dcducible from
that situation. He maintains that the
contest of opinion had assumed that form
when the arbitrament of war could not
be avoided ; that the South claimed tho
right to secede; that ho was not ono of
those who thought it a peaceful remedy,
but expected a terrible war, and adhered
to bis section, intending to abide the
consequences. He makes no technical,
constitutional or legal quibbles, but says,
"We staked all andlostall." The gov
rnmeut offers to restore to the great
masses their rights, minus their slaves.
While he thinks this a hardship to the
loyal Union men, no one else hits the
right to complain. He advises all to re
gain citizenship and a restoration of
their rights under the constitution, in
good faith, as noon as they can. And he
advises that In future they accept the
logic of event-,, and do at once what he
thinks it inevitable will have to be done
ere long—that is, to change the organic
law to suit, the altered situation; to adopt
a free State constitution, and to ratify
lite emancipation amendment of the
constitution of the United Slates, audio
leave no room for further agitation.—
While he would disfranchise no one now
entitled to vote, he would in I'm ure ex
tend the privilege to every Intelligent
man of every color who could read and
write. He 'would also extend to Ihe
freed men equal rights in courts. He
does not think it possible that that these
measures can be long avoided, and he
(Id huve iheni adopted at once. He
used other minor amendments of
so great Importance. This latter

expire, Dr. Mudd, taking advantage of
the confusion of moving baggage, stores,

named Kelly, attempted to escape by |
concealing himself, or being concealed I
by hie confederate. In the ooal-bunkers I

mediately i>iven by Mr. Jackson, mill-1

had gone below and bud not come up
again. Cant. Eugene P. Roberta, oflleer

when .Major George E. Wentworth,
commanding the post, Captain Roberts,
Ofllcer of Ihe day,and Lieutenant (I. Ar

and a corporal and Aye men, went |
searching for the vile conspirator. Lieut.

St-rii'i'li was then made for Spangler,

To the taste and smell of truffles a man I
must be educated, Kvery gentleman, at
least, lias " his acquired nose.'' But- of j
the most deliriously esculent of the/mi-1
</i the whole history reads well. Tbe I
" Horticulturist" thus gives it: " Very j
little has hitherto been written about I
the truffle : and we look in vain for any
account of its habitat or met hodsof prop
agation in botanical works. In scien
tific treaties it is classed in the ranks of
tlie esculent fungi, like the. mushroom,
and is named the "Tuber Cibariuni."
" There are few of nature's productions,"
says an English authority, "so extraor
dinary ns tnll family ofthe ftigi; and in
no other country than ourown are there
so many varieties of the class to he seen,
with their curious shapes, their beauti
ful colors, and their fairy rings spring
ing up like magic after a nights ruin or
a dump day." Unlike the mushroom,
ibis strange fungus is propagated under
the surface of the soil. They are found
where the soil is black, loamy, mixed
witli Hint, or is composed of chalk
and clay. They grow close to the roofs
of large trees, and seem lo be propagat
ed by the pari ial decay of their long,
fibrous roots, and nourished by the
drippings from their branches. They
are round iii shrubberies, plantations
and woods, und sometimes in banks and
ditches, but always where trees abound,
Ir ieai h them or ut a little distance from
their stems. They grow in rings of
.:. iters of six or seven round ouch tree. J
' Nor will they tlourish beneath every ,
kind of tree, but frequent the oak, the
lime, the cedar, and appear especially to (
love the beech, since wherever thtil tree
gpowawitll the richest luxuriance the
truffles are found iv great abundance |
and of the best tpiality.' The usual sea- ,
sou when truffles are found in England
is the month of September j but their ap
penance depends very much upon the -
state of the weather. In a dry season,
the truflie-hutiter will not look for them
before October or November, and until
sufficient rain ha. fallen for their pro
duction. In favorable situations and In
damp weather they will grow in a few
days. They will increase froina quarter
to half a pound in weight, and in rainy
seasons they will sometimes reach a
pound, while tbey mea_ure from four to
six inches in circumference. The truf
fle resembles, e.:terniilly, a rugged knot I
of an ohl oak,or apiece of decayed wood.
This i. the large truffle. There is an
other kind well known to tho truf
lier, though ignored in scientific ac
counts, called the red truffle, ou ac
count of its color, and it ofthe size ol
a pea, and equal in flavor to the
larger kind This larger truffle, when
examined through the microscope, is
found grained with fibrous lines, aud is
of a linn, tough texture, white iv coloi
when young, and glowing darker until
its ripeness is shown by becoming en
tirely black. As the truffle grows under
ground, there would be some difficult.)
n finding it were it not for the fact
hat, before it is cooked, It possesses a
>eculiar odor—so powerful and so pecu
iar that no imposition can be practised
v its commerce. Tho raw trufHes,
vhen ripe and fit to eat, posses.
his pungent and oppressive odor
vhich will pervade the whole house ;
md they must he boiled or stewed when
his odor will disappear. This peculiur
icrfume is nearly imperceptible to tlie
mman senses when the fungus is grow
ng beneath the soil; and, for this rea
son, the truffle-jratherer i.assisted in the
earch for them by a peculiar breed of
logs that are trained for thi. purpose-
Clever little dogs they are, and trained
f rom puppyhood to hunt the truffle out
>v tlie nose, and then to scratch It up
vith their long, sharp daws. It ts cu
rious and interesting to watch tho pow
ers of nose possessed by these small dogs;
0W directly they perceive tbe odor of
tlie hidden truffle'; they rush to the place,
traight as a dart, even at twenty yards
lis.anc..' "
Misbei'besi-STatioxb.—Many of our
OUthern exchanges complain bitterly
hat the southern people are mis rep re
•ntetl in some northern journals. They
-serf tliat great injury is thus done to
he South; that false Impressions are
reduced and spread over tlie North; and
hey say this is very wrong and very
mrd to bear.
Certainly, if Is very wrong to misrep
esent the' character, acts and desires of
te peopl. of one state or scot lon to those
f another; it is mischievous at Ibis
me particularly, when the people of nil
mrts of the country ought to understand
ach other thoroughly. But when south
in men complain that tbey are mierep
esentcd, they ought to bo more careful
. give correcL views of the northern
eiii'le to their own readers and hearers.
Now in some of the very papers which
rotes! most energetical ly against what
hey call slanders in northern journals,
ye find northern men and the ruling
arty in tho North spoken of as the
lasestand most perliilions, as desiring
te destruction and spoliaton of the
utli. us untrustworthy, disreputable,
nd only to be hated by the people ot
lie South.
This is very wrong, and very inis
hlevous. It fosters the spirit of dis
iiihl and dislike which has already once
nought on civil war, and it prevents
hat general burying of strife, and tliat
irotherly agreement, which nil' good
neii now desire to see, and believe to be
lec.ssary to our permanent peace and
.lospcrity.
