COURT O'LAKl'S' EPISTLE. The Delights or Summer The La it or the Strawberry Fesll ,TalAbout Pic Xlc Experi ence 1q a Grove The Result--A yislt Irom the Cental Taker. Diar EaolJ: Summer is a delightful, or otherwise warm season. Mature bolts her loveliest,: and does her prettiest about this time, and everything is erene. June ist very enchanting month. It bribgs out strawberries and low necked dresses, ice cream and perspiration. Kd riches the tuskers of fans and enables pro prietors of soda water stands to keep fast horses. . Strawberry festivals are not over yet. There are lots of strawberries and pretty waiter girls left. I'retty waiter girls you know are contrary to set ot Legislature. I asked my legal friend D. Witt about it. He says that taken with strawberries pretty waiter girls are a moral entertainment. ' I merely wanted to know, you know, to satisfy my conscientious scruples. Since then I have taken them without hesitation.-"- - They sgree with me. That is the strawberries I also agree with the girls. They always give me an extra strawberry and two spoons with my ice oream. Those spoon are quite a good thing in Cutlery. They have such a cap ital edge. You can cut bread and butter or open oysters with thrm. I took one home the other night to shave with- I should like to get a table tpoon of the same variety for a carving knife. By way of variety I went to a tic NIC this week. Pic-nics, like strawberry festivals, belong to the church service. They are a light moral entertainment. They are mostly held in groves. A grove consists of several trees, a grass plot, a platform for the music and a shanty where they sell lager. "There arc numerous groves lying around about. They are generally built near railroads for the convenience of the public and the profit of the railroad companies. . You take your rations to a pic-nic in a market basket. A pic-nic ration consists of five sand wiches, a hunk of pound cake, a huckle berry pic, two lemons, a pound of cherries, a box of sardines, two boiled eggs and a pickle. The rest of the outfit consists of sixty five Sunday-school teachers, twenty middle nged ladies, some nice young men, a domi nie or two, several hundred children and a brass bund. (Jet pncki:d in a car like a box of oranges, and smothered in white muslin until you pet to the grove, where you will arrive in a statu of perspiration und bliss. Don't be particular about j'our own bas ket. Baskets usually get mixed. Take the biggest one you tan gety The ladie always fill their baskets... ' Whfn you get in the grove, you are ex pected to declare ills the delightf'ulust spot you ever saw. . Select a pretty teacher, ' and explore the shadiest recesses, and pour out your soul. When it is all poured out, ask the young lady if she wont takes swing. She will.' Sawyer has sung of "Swinging in the Lane," but I don't thitk he ever tried swinging in a grove. I did. I was kept at it for three hours and a quarter, swinging ail the girls that cauie along. : ., . It is splendid exercise, beats Burnham's gyi'unrsium, double trapeze and all. I hdve'nt got over it yet. . m i An old lady then proposed that I should climb an apple tree to extricate her Johnny, wno naa got rits trousers involved in a branch about thirty feet up, and was hunj up like a sign of the golden fleece. lold the old lady to wait till . lie cot noe and he'd drop of his own accord. ..11,1 t It 11. ui'iiauy saiu i wius a nrute, anu nacin t ot the feelings of a mother.! : . blie went lor the man who kent th ) rark and sold lager.

We then took dinner. Pretty teacher suread her Docket land- kerchief for a table cloth und unpacked the rations. ; ;. ' J.' The rations had got somewhat mixed; r The saidine box had busted and "struck i!e." :j The huckleberry pie had amalgama ted with the pickle, and the cherries had resolved themselves into jam. -But it was so cliarminc to eat your dinner" on the grass beneath tlio umbrageous shade of the noble trees. - So the pretty teacher observed as I was squeezing leinong.iii a . dinner kettle to make the lestive beverage, which neither cheers nor inebriates, , but . frequently stomach aches. " I was startled by a piercing shriek from the pretty teacher, and I dropped a hair lemon partly squeezed and flew to the res cue. A "horrid bug descended from the um brageous foliage previously, mentioned and hid alighted on her alabaster neck. I dispatched the creature and we proceed ed to despatch our repast.- a But insect horrors had hot ended. ; ' Entomological specimens of' many varie ties intiuded upon hir banquet; got invol ved in the pie, and met a watery grave in the lemonade. ... , u Pretty teacher turned pale and lost her appetite. , ,', ., , ", -t rr : .

We began to , experience the remorse which follows dissipation. Pretty teacher was in tears; she had ru ined her dress by accidentally sitting down in a currant pie. The ice cream had all melted, the straw berries were all gone. We started in a wilted procession for th? cars. The conductor being a liberal man gave us a larger lease of pleasure than we bar gained for and kept us waiting au hour. When I got home Mrs. O'Lanua wanted to know if I'd been to a funeraL 1 went to bed early and dreamed all night that I was struggling desperately with a gigantic spider, who had carried ofT the pretty teach er and hung her up by her waterfall on the topmost limb of a big tree. Some peoele like pic-nics, others like strawberry festivals but for my part give me liberty or give me death. Yours Perepiringly, Court O'Lanus. P. S. A young man who is taking the census called at my house yesterday. I was'nt at heme. But Mrs. O'Lanus was. As she knows more about tho family than I do, it was all the same. The first thing he wanted to know was, how many times she had been a widow? I never thought of asking her that ques tiou myself, and I feel much interest in her answer. I wish you would get me nn ad vanced copy of the census returns so that I can find out what the said. C. O'L, Paragraphs. Don't unbolt a lion in his cage or he may bolt you. Taunts are the light artillery of hateful impishness. ; -. A CAGED leopard is limited to one spot. To water-proof tents pitch them well. Belle Boyd is writing another book. Silence that dreadful Belle. , If a friend in the dative case, offers you a date, don't say "a fig for a dale," for that's more than the thing is worth. Why docs a flat open country suit the tastes of good livera? Eeiaiue it is a cam paign country. The rich are apt to think the manors make the man. A loafer has no stake in the country. Every farmer has a good many.. A yoi-NO girl may be happy whose whole freehold is in a garden pot. No man if he lives long enough need be poor, he-arrives at "niun's tate," and he needn't squander it. Fat men are not generally water-drinkers they are too LhilosOphical to try to mix oil and Water. If you are attacked by a bear jump on back und ride bear-back. x Some men always have horrid colds in thiir hearts. The pleasanteft kinds of gouts that which we pronounce goo. A man named Muuim advertised for a wife in a Wester paper. No woman could ever keep him. A New Okleans paper says that the Mississippi river is fed by a hundred streams It ought to be, lor it has a hundred mouths. ! TnE moderns surpass the ancients. Bri areus had but a hundred hands. Many a cotton planter has twice that number. The strongest man feels tho influence of woman's gentle thoughts, as the roughest oak quivers and trembles iu the softest Irccze. To pluck thorns from tho bosoms of oth ers is to plant roses in our own. A'.Mischievocs brtin hatches a great many falsehoods, but the bioudcan'tbe gen erally bo raised. A MAN afiail of fire arms, if hets in li quor, is apt to imagine everything he sees a revolver.'

' Next to making a child an infidel is the letting him know that there are infidels at . Credulity is the man s weakness, hut tho child's strength.

Smith Delivered at the State Conven tion, June 21st, Deer Pbesadunt: I rise up two speak wurds ov wixduin two this heer convention. We must regulate matters so that we ken keap the onuses in our hands. We hav awl got ritch by holden oflVs,nd must keap the offeses for our childer and our childer's childer two get retch ov too. In the loyul Stait ov Iowa, where oar bretherin hav awl there oan wa, tha ken boldly deeluir thure painsipels ; but in Ohio thaae is danger ov the Copperhcds a beaten us. It tharefore beknms us two be as wise as Copperheds or enny uther sarpents. In Iowa our brether in kums square out in favor ov given the Five An e k'l i ov Afrik-n desent the write to voat and ofles ; but in this Stait it wood not be sail' for us to taik sioh hy grounds. Uinerul Steadmon kum nut in a speech for this glorious prinsipcl, but it dun him no, good, and sarved as a warner two us two bea kcerful. I think our best plan wood bea twomaik a platform what don't say not hen in par tickler, and two nomenate kandidaits what will be sound on the goos. I think this plan will git the moust voats, and voatsair whot we wont. If we nomenate and elect men known two bea sound on the rights ov the frea Amerikene of Afrikan desent, and elect a legislator that we know will due the rite thing on this question, it doant maik enny difference whether it is in our plat form or not. We want results rether than proteshens. The eiecshun ov one man in favor ov given rights two the frea Ameri keiM ov Afrikan desent wiil bea ov moar pructikal benefit than as menny resolushcns as cood be plastered on the South side of the Stait Hous. - Here the committee on resolutions made a report, which was read. Mr. Smith resumed his remarks: Mr. Presadunt: Them resalushens jist soots me.. The furst one is a proper tribute ov respect two our departed arid lamented President, and is a hint two Andy Johnsen two due as he dun, so that when the mourn ful proseshen (oilers him two the boan yard our conventions wiil pass resolushens ov re sp'ct. . - 1 The second resalushun is good. It saft sod.lers Andy. Suft-sodder is a great insti-tu.-heu. You ken git men that way when we kitnt git 1 hem no uther way. Andy is shaky, lie luiint done the clean thing with us by a long shot. He is lbrcen the loyal and intelligent contrabands to work for a liven instead ov fecden them on government rations, lie denies them the right to voat in the rebel Staits and leaves the reorgan'. zashon ov them Staits two the rebels liven therein, lie is iiboli.-hen offeses and turnen loyal men out on the kold charities ov a hartless world. Yet, nntwithstandun, nev vertheless, we must saf't-sodder Andy be knusweuir in his power and at. hismnrcy. But when we git a chance at him we'll tum ble him overboard quicker than the editur ov The Holmes Countyawer went into Udell's Lake. Not even a Coppcrhod wood object two the third resalushun. While it don't an nounce no principal, it ihows we are clever tellers. The fourth resalushun is a propr r token ov our friendly regards for the men who due the Voten for us, and the wimun what help us git up loyal mcetins. The filth is s proper kick at slavery. It is stickeh to what we hav scd all along, und shows that we air fonijinst slavery. The sixth is u gentle hint two Andy two not be in two much ov a hurry about fixen up things. As long as things ain't awl fix ed up we will have a good supply ov offeses, and when things are fixed we wont them so they won't rip. The seventh is anuthcr resalushun ov thanks, and two them distinguished and ex tinguished gentlemen, Dcruiiton, Tod and Brough : whose serveses we esteemed i-o highly that we let them severally oph with one ' term. Good bye, gentlemen, we air obleeged to you. , The eight shows that notwithstanden the Declaratian ov Independence has been a text book for the Copperhcds for the last toar years, that we ken respect in word if we doant in deed. The ninth, and last, is the best and moast pmtcd resalushun ov awl. it is ov moar importance two us than any ov the rest and wc air moar likely to liv up to it. The cunimittee hav discharged thare du ty with a skill which snood bea applauded bv evrv loyal man. Auinst such a platform the Copperheds may roar as the she lion roan th when she would devour snmbuddy to feed her young. Yea, they may howl as tne won iiowiein wnen nosneep is nig n.

' Prolonged Applause. ( The Republican State Convention of Ver mont, nominated one Paul Dillingham for Governor. -it is the same Dillingham who, in 1857, wrote U John B. Floyd, then Sec retary of War under Mr. Buchanan, as fol lows: . ... ." . .. , "I want to remove from this State, where genuine Democracy is poorly thought of by the great colored party who rnle here' ; ; Mr. DillinghpV was atone time a Demo crat, then a whig, then a Frecsoiler, then a Democrat again, and now a Republican, and the candidate for Governor of the "groat colored party" that rule Vermont.

In nine dirt'c rent States has this regiment boi-n engaged in battle, and has traveled probably more miles during the war than any other regiment from the Buckeye Mate, liavine traveled on foot, by rail and boat, nn aggregate of nine thousand three hundred and two miles. Tut. Adv. A fry for Women. From the New "York Express. The great lack of women in the new min ing Territories of the far West nearly the enlire population of Nevada and Colorado being of the male sex is attracting atten tion, llnui-cs und cities, silver and cold, are not worth much without the society and help ot women. JNoitlier wives nor ser vants, it is said, can be bad, though both huve unequaled opportunities. 1 he Ifockv Mountain JVeic, of the 14th ultimo, de clares that women will find in that country the Utopia of their drams. ' Husbands can be had at leisure, and those wishing to engage in household employment can quick ly acquire a fortune.-. In the populous ler- ltory ot Colorado we are told J here is scarce one woman where six could and would be profitably employed if 1 hey could be be obtained. Wages here, for common household duties, are from thirty to fifty dollars per month, including board. This makes wages, at the present rate of boarding, from eighty to one hun dred dollars per month." lhese wages are payable in cold, and the Rocky Mountain editor thinks that, " Were the population something near evenly divided in relation to sex, many of those who have no fixed residence, but are always coming and going, would contract matrimonial alliances, auu make Colorado their permanent homes. We want more women to give pormunency to society, and thus do away with that everlasting, never failing salutation of 'when are you going to the States?' The young men who come to this coun try to develop its rcs"uices and . make their fortunes, are composed of the best energy and enterprise of the United States, and if corresponding numbers ot the opposite sex, of equal ability, could be induced to emi grate from those sections where there is already a surplus of female population, an advantage would accrue to all parties, and Colorado would secure a permanence of settlement that is much needed. We have a beautiful country, healthy climate, and wealth untold." Governor Andrew of Massachusetts, who has just given us sueh a.ad picture of the great redundancy of the female population in the old Bay State, should look to these facts and Mrpes'". ;' l Ko Ubo tor Trousers. - On the morning of the meteoric shower, in 1832, old Peyton Roberts, who intended making an early start to his work, got up in the midst of the display. . On going to his door, he saw, with amazement, the sky lit up with the falling meteors, ami he con cluded at once the world was on fire, and that the day of judgment had come. He stood for a moment gazing in speechless ter ror at the scene, and then wan a yell ot hor ror sprang out of the door into the yard, right into the midst of the falling stars, and there in his efforts to dodge them, he com menced a series of ground tumbling that would have done honor to a rope-dancer. His wife, being awakened in the meantime, and seeing Peyton jumping and skipping about the yara, bawled out to him to know "What in the name of common sense he was doin' outthar. dancin' round without hisclothes on." But Peyton heard not. The iudemcnt. and lone black accounts he would have to settle, made him heedless of all terrestrial things, and his Wife,' by this time, becoming alarmed at his behaviour, sprang out of bed, and, running to the door, shrieked out at the top of her lungs: ... "Peyton, I say Peyton, what do you mean, jumpin' about thar? Coma aad put your trousers on." "Trousers, what the h l's the use of trousers when the world s on fire? Gen. Grant goos in strongly for retrench ment in thiarniv. He says that of the 200,000 horses and mules now in possession of the army, costing nearly a dollar a day ench, 150,000(0 175,000 must be sold at auction, realizing for the treasury probably eight or ten millions, and carrying great benefits to farmers north and soutl'. . The thousands of men taking care of tl.em will be relieved and sent home to aid in devil oping the resources of the country and pay ing the taxes. The army will be reduced to 100.000 nion by the 1st of January next. and they may be thinned out afterward. The black troops will mostly be retained for purposes in the Gulf States. The veteran reserve corps and regulars are tha only white troops that are likely to be kept in service beyond this year.

A friend st Washington assures us that a few weeks since sn interview took place be tween President Johnson and Senator Sum ner, which was substantially as follows: "Good evening) Mr. President," said Senator Sumner, last week, upon entering the President's room in the Whits House. "Good evening, Mr. Senator," replied the President. "Please be seated for a moment, until I finish a letter to aa old friend." The letter being finished tha President turned to Mr. Sumner, when the latter said: "Mr. President, I .have called upon you for the put pose of expressing to yon the views of our people on the. subject of re construction." "Well, sir," replied the President Mr. Sumner commenced by saying: "Sir, your North Carolina Proclamation does not meet the approbation of tho people, and they will not submit to have the great re sults of the War thus thrown away." "What people are you representing, sir?" asked Mr. Johnson. "The wholj Northern people," said Mr. Sumner. ll apprehend you will find yon but rep resent a small portion of the Northern peo ple," replied Mr. Johnson. Then, said Sumner we must take your North Carolina Proclamation as an indica tion of your policy, are we." "Yes, sir, replied the President. '"Then, sir," said Sumner, "you do not intend to enfranchise the black man?" "I have nothing to do with the subject, that exclusively belongR to the States. You certainly would think it an usurpation on my part if 1 attempted to interfere in fix ing the qualifications oi electors in Massa chusetts." "But," replied Sumner, "Massachusetts has always been a loyal State." "That may be." replied the President, ''but the loyal men of the South have made untold sacrifices for their Union sentiments while Massachusetts has made hundreds of millions out of her loyalty, and it would be a poor return for Southern adherence to the Govfrnment, if the latter should, in viola tion to the Constitution, thrust upon them local laws in opposition to their wishes." At this reply of the President, Mf Sum ner became impatient and irritable, and re joined l y saving, "I am sony to to see you evincing so Sittle sjmputhy with that ele ment that placed you in power." At this, the color flushed to the Presi dent's face, and he added, emphatically, "You and I might as well understand each other now as any other time. You are aware, sir, I have no respect for a secession ist; but, as much as I dtspiscihem, I have a greater dctcstatiou and contempt for a fa natic." "Good evening," said Sumner, and left in a huff. Cin. Eurj. Speaking of the meeting of the Demo cratic State Central Committee at Columbus last week, the Ohio State Journal says: "But the question ot candidates is not the great question in the Democratic ranks at the present time. J he grand question relates to the platform what planks shall it have an3 what planks It shall not have. The Democracy had its programme laid down, but the Union Convention of June 21st disarraeged it. Now. will the Democ racy cordially endorse Andrew Johnson's d miiiistratinn? If it does, it can Vote the Un ion ticket just as soon as it purges itself of the record made at Chicago. , That is the first instance We have ever known in which the editor of a paper has boasted of a sacrifice of his political princi ples and the adoption of the sentiments of an opposing party, merely to "disarrange" the programme of his opponents! The lan guage of the Jmrrial, v it has any mean ing, simply means that the Republican State Convention endorsed the administra tion of Andrew Johnson in order to get the start of the Democratic State Convention! What an adinissionl They do not endorse the policy of the President in reality, yette secure votes and "disarrange" the Demo cratic party they pass & resoTutloh professed ly endorsing the Administration! The Re publicans need not trouble themselves about the probable course of the Democratic State Convention. Andrew Johnson is no "ele phant" of the Democratic party's and the State Convention Will not be influehced In the Republican excuse for a platform. . It will endorse such acts of the Administration as it deems right, and will condemn what it believes to be wrong. It will throw solid shot and shell into the camps of the enemy and "disarrange" their "programme'' by the distention of facts and sound principles. It will use no "Quaker guns" to deceive vo terst but will rely for its success solely upon the intelligence of the people and the right eousness of its principles. lolcdo Record. A Flock ot Drunken Pigeons. A San Francisco paper has a curious sto ry about a flock of inebriated pigeons. ' A lurmer, living on one ot the ranches in the vicinity of that city, was recently surprised to see a large flock of pigeons, after flying around his barn yard a few moments, sud denly fall to the ground. Wondering at the phenomena, he concluded to watch them. An antiquated Thomas eat, perambulating the yard, seized one ot the young pigeons, and made a hearty meal of it. Soon after. Thomas cat commenced staggering like in toxicated, and tailing over, gave up the ghost with a dismal yowl. the farmer s wife who had picked up a number of the pigeons for the purpose of making pics of them, on learning of poor grimalkin's fate, thought the birds were Doisoned. and threw them down. The far mer gathered up two hundred of them, and threw them into an old out-house. Iu the morning his wife found the pigeons alive. and roosting on a wood pile. Inquiries wero made, and it was ascertained that near neighbor,- haying been troubled by tieauent visits of pigeons, had soaked some groin in whiiky, and scatered it about his premises, so mat me pigeons Became in toxicated, in fact, dead drunk. They recov ered, however, but poor puss became a vic tim ot alcholio stimulants, imparted by in feetcd pigeon meat. . A Do;Rcco;nlzlns;a Portrait or , , Its itliirirests.

Stephens Ulalory or It Term Proffered by Lincoln Jeff Da Via' False Coloring or Them. Tha Augusta (Gs.) Chrontde ot tl 7th iust,, publishes sn article authonsed, if cot prepared by Alex. H. Stephens, giving as inside view of the negotiatim at Hampton Roads, between Lincoln aad Seward, and Messrs. Stephens, Hontet and CamplolL We make the following extracts! Mr. Lincoln stated fairly that the only ground upon which he could rest the justice of the war either with his own people or foreign Powers was that it was not a war for conquest, but that the States never had been separated from the Union Conse quently, he could not recognise another Government inside of the one of which ba alone was President, nor admit tho separata independence of States that were yet a part of the Union. That, said he, weald ba doing what yon -have so long asked Europe to do in vain, and be resigning the on.y thing the armies of the Union are fighting for. To that Mr. Huntef replied at length, in rather Congressional style, urging that tha recognition of Mr. Davis' power to make a treaty Was the first and indispensable step to peace, and referring to the correspon dence between Charles the First and his Parliament, as reliable precedent of a con stitutional ruler treating with the rebels. - Mr. Lincoln's face bore that indescribable expression which generally preceded his . hardest hits, and he remar ked: "Upon questions of history I must refer you to M r. Seward, for be is posted in such things, aui I don't propose to be bright. My only dis tinct recollection of the matter is, that Charht lost his head." This settled Mr. Hunter for swhile. There was little said about the fact that an armistice would bo ot' no benefit, unless it preceded that which the North must have, if ber armies stopped from the tidtr of victory, to wit: the restoration of thii Union and its laws. Mr. Lincoln remark-id that whatever con sequences may follow from the re-establishment of thai authority, it must be accepted; but individuals subject to pains and penaU ties under the laws of the United States might rely upon a very liberal use of the powers confided to him to remit those pains ami penalties if peace be restored. He also stated in the above connection thut, limited as he was Ly the Constitution, he could not change or impair the power of Congress, uor abolish its laws, tior stay the judgltfdht of the courts; for the legisla tive and judicial power had coequal juris diction with the executive. But he did offer all the power of and pardon aud influ ence, both as the Cnief Magistrate and as a popular party leader, and that is a better offer than rebels on the eve of destruction -and ruin ever had before from a victorious power. Mr. Huhter stated thut he h.id never en tertained any 1 fears for his person or lif'o from so mild a government as that of the United States, to which Mr. Lincoln retort ed that he, also, had feltcasvas to the rcb els, but not always va easy about the lamp posts around W ashington city a hint thut ie had already done more favors for tha cbelsthan was exactly popular with the radical men of his own party, During the conference thft proposed" amendments to tho Constitution adopted by Congress, on the 31st, were brought- to no tice. These amendments provide that neith er slavery nor involuntary servitude, except for crimes, should exist within the United States, or any place within its jurisdiction, and Congress should have power to enforce the amendment by appropriate legislation. Mr. Lincoln hud almost assumed the tono of argument, and iutimated that the States might do much better to return to tha Un ion at once than to stand the chances of continued war, and the increasing bitterness of feeling in Congress, and thut the time might come when wc would cease to be an erring people, invited beck to the Union as citizens, but looked upon, perhaps, as ene mies to be exterminated or ruined. Mr. beward then remarked: "Mr. Pres ident, it is well to inform these geutlemen that yesterdoy Congress acted upon the amendment to tho Constitution aboli&hing Mr. Lincoln stated that was true, and suggested that there was a question as to the right ot the insurgent states to return at once and claim a right to vote upon the amendment, to which the concurrence of two-thirds of the States was required. - He stated that it would be desirable to have the institution of slavery abolished by the consent of the people as soon as possi blehe hoped within six years. He also stated that four hundred millions of dollars might be offered as compensation to tha owners, and remarked, l ou would be sur prised wero I to give you the names f those who favor tbat.'V ; Mr. Hunter said something about tk inhumanity of leaving so many poor old negroes and young children destitute by en couraging the able-bodied negroes to run away, and asked, what are they the help less to aor Mr. Lincoln ssid that reminded him 0 an old friend in Illinois, who had a -crop lot potatoes and did not want to dig them. So he told a neighbor that be would turn in his hogs and let them dig them tor them selves. But, said the neighbor, tha frot will soon be in tha ground, and when the soil is hard frozen what will they do then? To which the worthy farmer replied, "Ut emrovtl Mr. Stephens said he sunnosed that was the original of "Root, Hog, or Die," and a fair indication of the future of the negroes. And so the conference ended. Mr. Steph ens reported to Davis that nothing had oeen aone, out ociicvea tne way open 1 to a settlement. The Chronicle then says; i "Mr, Davis, however, looked upon the proposals as insulting, and seemed to have the concurrence ot Mr. Hunter iu that view somewhat. lie wished a statement to go before the public that only insulting terms were offered, bat the commissioners decliu cd to make it, on the grouud that it was oot true." , , t But Messrs. Stephens, Hunter snd Camp bell did unite in a report which was made public, and from which the extension of the period of emancipation to six years, and the offer of four hundred millions of dollars a compensation to slave-owners, uxu cmfuSy omitted. .
