A thousand times better to remain

The order goes on to state what is

in stating that no Militia OiHcer is to

A K'll'ary Hurder.
Prcdeiick U Shcpard. a citizen of
the State of Alabama, residing iu Belle I
l'ont. wrote the subjoined letter, on
the 21rt of July last, to Captain Mor
ris Schaff, couimauding the United
States Arsenal at Mount Vernon :
Sir : I am iuformedthat you, a few
evenings since, at the Arsenal wharf,
took occasion to criticise me in an of
fensive manner, aud to animadvert on
the application which I have recently
made to the United States government
for my cotton, the property of a pri
vate citizen, taken from me in viola
tion of Geueral Cauby 's order, issued
when that officer entered the city of
Mobile, pledging protection to private
property on certain conditions. I feel
as any one the military despotism un
der which the country is suffering; but
certainly that should r.fford no pre
scriptive right or protection to any gen
tleman wearing the uniform of the ar
my of the Uuited States. A c.mdid
reply to this uote is requested at your
earliest convenience, Btttiug the lan
guage employed by you on the occasion
referred to above.
Which was returned, with the fol
lowing indorsement, sigued by Schaff :
Sir : You offer me a contemptuous
insult iu pronouncing the infornious
lie that this is a military despotism.
When you write me a gentlemanly note
in reference to remar-ks referred to, then
I will give it an auswer.
Whereupon Mr. Shepard replied :
SlU : I have received your envelope,
returning my note to you of 21st, with
and indorsement in your hand aud sig
nature. There is nothing left me but
to demand that satisfaction which is
customary among gentlemen.
('apt. Sc'.iafi's response to this invi
tation was such as to induce Mr.
Shepard to apply to him the epithet of
poltroon." A military guard was
sent to arrest the man who presumed
to question the courage of a United
States officer. The guard seized Mr.
Shepard in his house, took him to the
military arsenal into the presence of
Schaff, and stood about him while the
h-.tter deliberately drew his pistol and
shot ids unarmed prisoner mortally
thr ugh the neck. Ti.e man thus ful
ly murdered was CI years of age, and
left, behind him, :;s he dropped on the
arsenal Seor, a wife and nine children.

Wa.-htngton corropj'Ondeut of the Bos
ton A'lartiWr gives a svuopsi or en.
Parker's report to "the secretary of the
treasury of the Dismal Swamp c;m.d.
The canal is twenty-nine miles long,
has a bottom width of twenty to tv.en-tv-five
feet, and water surface width of
thirtv-fivc to iortv feet, it was intend
ed to carry five and a half :"et of wa
ter, so as to pass boats drawing five
fett, but owi:i!T to mud, sediment ud
other obstructions, it will now harllv
p;;rs boats drawing four feel. Gen.
Parker estimates the cost of cleaning
it out to proper depth at 70.000.
The canal has seven locks, all but one
of which he thinks should be rebuilt,
which would cost 812.000. He thinks
about 4,000 would be required to re
build certain bridges maintained by
the canal, aud about $13,000 to put iu
t;ood condition the feeder by which the
tarsal is supplied lrom lake Drummoud.
Certain other incidental repairs and
structures are estimated at 20, 000.
To these estimates should be added the
approximate indebtedness of the canal
company, which is $0o,U00. making an
aggregate of 323. U00. To this may
further be added $S0, 000 ,for putting
in repair a lateral branch of aix milos
length, called the northwest canal,
thou ! Gen. Parker seems to think it
advisable to abaudou this section of
the work entirely.
it appears that since the commence
ment of this canal in 1787, something
over S1.250.U00 have been put iuto it,
and H't, as this report says, it is now
in b.:d condition and requires heavy
expenditure in, mediately to rave the
large amount lately invested. Gen.
I'aikcr then goes on discuss the ex
pedic ey of further investment aud ex
presses a conviction that the canal route
-henid be maintained, but believes that
it can only be succe.-si'ully m&uaged by
;i private corporation, and his recom
mendation therefore is that government
dispose of its stock as soon as possible.

In conformity with a recent custom,
that may now be regarded as estab
lishel on national consent and approv
l, I, Andrew Johnson, President of
the United States, do hereby recom
mend to my fellow-citizens, that Thurs
day, the tweutycighth day of Novem
ber next, be bet apart aud observed
throughout the Itcpublic as a day of
National Thanksgiving and praise to
the Almighty liuler of Nations, with
whom are domiuion and iear, who
innketh peace iu His high places.
Kestiug and refraining from secular
labors on that day, let us reverently
and devoutly give thanks to our lleav-
euly a&r lor the mercies and blcss-
inSs "hh which lie has crowned the
now closing year. JbiSpccially Jet us
remember that He has covered our
land, through all its extent, with greu
t ly needed aud abundaut harvests; that
He has caused industry to prosper, not
only in our fields, but in our workshops,
iu our mines, aud in our forests.
He has permitted us to multiply ships
upon our lakes and rivers, aud upon
the high seas, and at the same time to
extend our iron roads so far into the
secluded places of the Continent as to
guarantee speedy overland intercourse
between the two oceans. lie has in
clined our hearts to turn away from
the domestic contentions aud commo
tions consequent upon a distracting
and desolating civil war, and to -walk
more and more iu the aeient ways of
loyalty, conciliation, aud brotherly
love. He has blessed the peaceful
efforts with which we have established
new aud important commercial treaties
with foreign nations; while we have at
the same time strengthened our me
tional defences, and greatly eularged
cur national borders.
While thus rendering the unani
mous and heartfelt tribute of national
prai.-e and thanksgiving which is so
justly due to Almighty God. let U
not ilti! to implore Him that the same
Divine protection and care which we
have h thcrto so undeservedly, and yet
so constantly, enjoyed, may be contin
ued to our country and our people
throughout all their generations for
ever. In witness whereof, I have hereunto
set my hand, and caused the seal of the
foiled States to be afSxed.

Politics in Virginia and Geor
;ia. The Washington letter of Pri
d;:y in t lie New York Tiitw. says:
A private letter received hereto-day
from a prominent officer or duty iu
Georgia, writing; on the 28th, the day
before the election, says that there was
good grcu"d for believing that the
convention would be carried, though
the contest would be much closer than
ii the election had taken place thirty
days i:go. in consequence of the unfav,
orahie effect of the October elections,
which wad influencing the whites
against participation, iu the hope of
deieating -he convention and of ulti
mate rel.ef from northern copperheads.
So strong is this belief, says the writer,
