EX-GOVERNOK AIKEN—HIS VIEWS
OF THE WAR.
Ex-Governor Aiken, of South Carolina, is
still in Washington, where he has been com
plimented by visits from residents who were
tuiuiliar with him in former times, when bo
represented a d'strict in the House of Rep
resentatives, and avowed his loyalty to the
Union. He still professes the samo senti
ments. In 185C ho was the candidate for
the Speakership of the House, but wax de.
tested by General Banks. At that time lie
was said to be the richest slaveholder in the
world. A correspondent of the Rochester
Democrat lias hart an interview with him, and
writes the following:
personal appearance.
Mr. Aiken has none of the unctuous solid
ity of person which position is supposed to
bestow, and is the farthest remove from
those (juattlebums who have so successfully
cultivated pompous and offensive manners,
lie is live feet ten in height, perhaps, and
may weigh one hundred auil forty pounds,
llis hair and full whiskers and moustache
are very gray, but bis manners are subdued
and courteous, and bis eyes as bright as
during bis memorable contest with Ranks
fur the Speakership, when lie wasn’t elect
ed, but tnought lie was, und committed to
memory his speech of acceptance. The
Governor’s face is seamed and furrowed un
duly lor a man of sixty, and has an auxious,
vigilant, weary look.
he calls the confederates “rebels.”
QHis health was tolerable, he said, and he
hud been treated witlt marked respect ever
siuce the war began, by the rebels of ail
grades, in South Carolina, who had tolera
ted liis dissent from tlieir schemes, and now
by the 1’resideiit and Gen. Jeffries, of whose
considerate kindness lie spoke in the high
est terms, (it was noticeable that when lie
mentioned Jeff. Davis’ plotters, he said “the
rebels”—not “the Con federates.”)
“These have been lour dread I til years,”
lie went ou to say, “but 1 told tiio rebels
irom the beginning what the end would be.
1 have breu disappointed iu only one re
spect; 1 told tin m 1 would give them two
years to be cooiiiterid in, and it has taken
iour. They have fought desperately; every
boy partook of the fanaticism and went into
t I.AA litvlil tlllil till* Wlillli* II I'tielTH.I tlmlll (III.
aul gave their jewels an t treasures to the
cau-e. You <•> the North know nothing of
the war in this respect. Kvery family in the
South is bereaved, and 1 toid them it would
he so.”
HE AVoWS UNSWERVING UNION SENTIMENTS.
He said “ No, 1 have never cast my lot
with them. 1 told them they were wrong
from the first. I gave a toast for the Union
at a nullification supper in lN.'hl, ami offend
ed all my young associates, and sinco the re
bellion commenced 1 have not been to Rich
m >nd or Montgomery, and have declined of
fice from Mr. Davis lor myself and friends.
t\ ben Mr. Davis was my guest recently at
Charleston, 1 defended the Union, and scout
ed the absurd doctrine of Secession in a.
conversation with him. Since the war begun
I have never said or done a thing of which
tuy conscience accuses me as an act of dis
loyalty to the nation.”
UIS JUDGMENT OK JEFF. DAVIS.
Ho continued by saying that Davis was not
the man lor President, and never should
have been chosen, lie hid not the ability
nor the weight of character of !1 outer, and
ha 1 been very unpopular ever since hii elec
tion. South Carolinians had denounced him
without stint—but it was a position where
success was impossible. He bad not u high
opinion of Davis’ morils or dis :r«tion, but it
seemed to him incredible how a man of edu
cation ami culture, of refined taste, a mem
ber of the church who sat at Christ’s Tablo
and partook of the sanctified body ami blood
of t lie world’s Crucified Redeemer, could
possibly harbor a thought of complicity in
the assassination. He supposed President
Johnson Had good evidence, however, but
if such complicity was proved it would ma
terially damage bis respect lor human na
ture.
11IK WAR ENDED.
The Governor said the war was .substan
tially over when Grant took Richmond; all
the South agreed to that. No organized
guerilla ivaifaro will be carried on. The
people of the South will not permit it. A
selfish instinct to defend themselves will
stimulate them to hunt down guerillas, lie
spoke with pride of having recently presided
at a meeting in Charleston to express to
gret and inaignntiou at me nmraer m Mr.
Lincoln. He sai l he had lost nearly all his
property in the war (some seven or eight
million dollars,) but if he saved enough lor
hi< eupport ho should nor mourn tho loss.
This is the substance of tho conversation.
It is said, though 1 did not learn it from
him, that the Governor ia brought hero
charged with aiding blockade runners. Hut
oven if ho is, is ho not far more innocent
than Robert K. Lee, who is lionized in a
quiet way at Richmond, and is not menaced
with a trial at all f
Letter from Loris Beano.—Tho follow
ing letter has been addtessed by SI. Lou's
Blanc to M r. Adams:
London, Thursday, April 27, 1865.
7i> Mr Adams, Minister of the United States
in England :
Sir : As a Frenchman, I feel hound to ex
press to you tho profound grid which 1
have felt at the news id the horrible crime
to which Mr. Lincoln has fallen the victim.
My feeliugs upon this lamentable occur
rence are, 1 atn sure, shared by all tlnse of
my countrymen resident iu Lon Ion whom 1
count among tuy friends.
We have all followed with heartfelt emo
tion tho progr.*-* of the cause which tlie il
lustrious A era ham Lincoln so powerfully
>erved; and our most ardent wishes are tor
tl e increasing prosperity of the great people
which he so gloriously represented.
Accept,* ir, the assurance of my earnest
sympathies, and of my high consideration.

An American ('HAXAcvNBimc.—A European
traveler descrioes the United htates as a country
whete every man lias a newspaper ia bis pocket.’
This is a very correct national chnracteiittic,
and a f istinctive one from what any other na
tion could apply to itself. Every man in this
country has nut only n newspaper in his pocket,
but. wont is better, eveiy man knows how to
read and understand It. Newspapers have beeu
so rho pin the United Mates tnat every indi
vidual could Htfutd to taka ooe and he has bren
so lone doing this that his dady jou nai has be
come as indispensable to h m as hit daily food.
In tact, he c mid do much better without some
article of daily consumption on his table thau to
do without the daily food for hit mind which a
nswsp per suppl e-, and wbhh keeps the hum
blest man as well posted as his more wealthy
neighbor in all matters affecting his polltiesl
social »nd tnoial good. It is the general dllfa
sion of mb lligenee among the people throngh
newspvpers-that kind of inrellgence which is
the most prsct.cal and the most useful, because
app- rtaioing to all the movemsuti of society, of
which he is u living and breathing member—that
gives such activity and earnestness to American
file, and makes every individual self-deoendent
and thoroughly conscious of his manhood.
THE fiOVEltN'llENT OF VIU'ilNIA BECOO
SIZED.
President Johnson’* proclamation of the 9th
instant, recogn ziug Frauds rt. I'ierpont. as the
legal Governor of our State, is the commence
ment in the great work of reconuruciion.
We have at 1 ut found t.ie rallying point, and
there ia work for ns to do, and i. behoovei lb to
go at it in earnest 1'ersonat *ulu ,siijp», politi

and notliing bnt true loyalty, o’vested cf every
thing but the fntute ucaioi Virg n.a and toe
Union of the Slates, allowed to influence us iu
the work we have befoie us.
No matter how much obloquy baa been beeped
upon Governor I'ierpont—no matter how beta
some parties havo tried to make the public dia
trust him, he stands to-day, head and shoulder*
above any or all bis enemies.
His record at a loyal m >n and a Virginian ia
before the world «/hen the sword of rebellion
was drawn and the dark cloud of civil war rote
higher and higher, aud covered Virginia and th«
South, there was no vacillating or half-lk-dged
Unionism displayed by Gov. fierpont.
His energies and time were emp.oyed a d bis
whole soul was wrapped up in tne grand woik
or preserving and sustaining the giuund work
of rotate identity and also state government, for
the people of Virginia.
Battling against all enemies, overcoming all
obs achs, he has come o t of the strife victuii
ous. The grand result ot his active labors— lua
vig lance aud and muted perseverance, be now
presents to bis fedow-citieens.
What is the lesu t! It is a rallying point_a
government—Stale identity—and the true phi
ijsopliy of self-government n held and kep;iu

little Legislature, acting under the authority of
the Federal Government, has done this great
work for the t ommonwealtli < None. He has
stood to his post manfullv, te.ting dowu all op
position even when his Union iriends, almost to
a man. doubted his strength and ability to ac
complish the great work.
When told that Ids design and the object of

who wished to see the eausc triumphant, but
lacked the fores:ght and decision to work in to
operati n with him) he »aid : ‘ Gentlemen, if
there was nothing bnt my own interest *t stake,

chimera or a nonentity; hut it Is lor Virginia’s

AN AUGUSTA KJHTOli ON PEACE.
[From the Augusta Chronicle, May I.]
As with most wars, ours has been brought to
a sudden cjDcIus on by a powerful and mighty
catastrophe. The surrender of General l.ee'a
army virtually put an. end to it. la the jndg
tn-ui of General Lee Hud General Joseph k.
Johnston, it was worso than useless to continue
the light any longer.
But not a ahadow of blame can be cast upon
either of those illustrious generals or the nob e
armies under their command. By the verdict
of both friend and foe they me without re
proach. They retire from t e contest honored
and applauded even by their ndve saries. They
did a 1 that men could, for fo r yta a they
sustained ail unequal st nggie witn unsurpass- !
cd endurance, heroism a no valor, that they
failed was the In tune ot war—the result of tin
overwhelming superiority o! number* and re
sources opposed to them.
All that remains is to conclude a peace which
shall give tranquility and piospeiity again to
our bleeding and distracted cuuutry. This, we
loud y irust, has been already substantially ef
fected.
As onr readers are aware, *c have long been
an ardent advoc tte of peace, of the suhslitut on
of negotiation for the aw rd, of a | oact ful solu ■
lion of this sanguinary controversy. However
our motives may inn o be n niai gned, we can
conscientiously sav thit we have been influenced
in the course we have pur-ued oa this subject
solely by a sincere devotion to what we thought
was for the beet interests of ail concerned. In
our position we have had the satisfaction ol
knowing tliat we were sustlined uni endorsed
by some of the beat, tho wisest and purest pa
triots of the South. And now the propriety of
our course is felly demonstrated by the logic of
stern and stubborn facts.
We congiattilate oiirl res ’em on the bright
prospect ot an immediate peace, its t leasing*
are appreciated, and it.s ue. os.-ily felt hv ail. jt
will enable our war worn aou uattto s.arred
veterans to go to the homes Iro-u which they
Imvo been ho long it sent—to cheer with ttefr
pretence the hoarts which have so long sighed
for their return. It will rekindle ti e light of
joy in many a dwell nr. and living happiness to
many a hearth, made desolate by the absence of
ifh protector. It will diffuse renewed prosperity
over oar land, so long torn and devastatid by
the ploughshare of ruin. It will reinvigorate
the spirit of enterprise, and reterre the mm of
industry. And soon it will repair the cruel
ravage* of war, and cause the desert and the
solitary places to rejoice and blosiora as the
rose.
Family Mareetinu in Nbw Voke.—The Tr|. .
bune of Saturday says:
All classes will rejoice st the prospect of cheap
er liviug. The end of the war, by throwing i pou
the market large quantities of provisltn- whieh
would otherwise go to the arinv. reduces the
p-ices of many of them to some!hit g near the
old-time figures. The su hstanti.sls Hour and
meat, are lower. Fluiir lias declined about $1
per bbl. during the pas week. I'.utcker* keep
up the price* of the finer ents of beef, but coarser
meats sie lower, with indication* that all kinds
Will come down. They complain of a very alow
trade, and an unwillingness on the part of con

butter is scarce and a little higher. Kg, s , oi -
tinne in good -upply. Fish are plenty and moat
kinds lower. There is also a I rger v.srie y.—
Salt, picSicd and smoked fish are also lower. In
the iruft lire, apple* sie scarce end high, pine
apples generally p *>r and in light supply, ba
nana- plenty and good, but uot cheap, stiawla-r
vies scarce, selling geneially at a out $1 per qt,
30 to 75". for State fruit. ‘1 line are few ch nges

table* rapidly, hence the supply i- moderate and
Sr ces keep up. In addition to green peas from
lorfolk. we have new onions and tomatoes from
Bermuda. Coal is 60-'. per tun lower.
Tobacco and Jnsanuy.—Tie Ta.-is correa
