One?, la a dream I ?too<l before the door
Of a ? aet man lion, reared moat regally
On the tea chore, I or I could hear the roar
Of the rough waree altho' I did not eee
' Their foamy ehowldera: through the portala

Bleat with the wiad*a wild wall I beard J

Against the 11 rm rocks on the ether eide.
And jar the stately mansion's marble feet. (

The white dome touched the wreathed cloud*, (
the while .<
Vainly the geser strove with dacalad eyaa R
To trace the line 'twlxt that aopiriag pile

Arches and walla gleamed in wncertain light, ?
Of day or bight I knew aet an my aleep; r
And pillara all of marble hae emd white f

Still at the door, 1 atood, the open door, a
With dreamy eye that idly reamed among
Thoae worde of warning eaoh steae pillar bore,
Written in every human eeagwe.
Upon one pillnr thus I read: ** Wc know ?
Enough to light the lowly vale of lifo *
The tree of knowledge oflimee beareth woe
And lofty paths ere rtfe
With enroa end dangers." Then again: " Deware
Though haughty soul?remember evermore
Safety la not on the naoendlng stain.
But on the lore) floor.
Pan not the door lest sure that thou canit win.
Watch well thy guide nor friendly council
Ipw
Of all the myriad souls that enter in.
How few triumphantly return."
Then on the arch o'er the great door I read :
"Twere better up thro* humbler paths to
come
Than thred tbo wildering labyrinths that lead
Into this mystie dome."
i4 Hon** Metaphysical," with shuddering ohill
Above the arch I read this name it bore,
And close below : " Let enter all who will
With guide and warning at the door."
So I went in with guide and warning too,
Warning of hidden dangers to beware,
And a good guide who every winding knew
Of cavernous hall or spiral stairs.
We entered first a hall gloomy and grand?
A vast, vast oonoave overflowing
With men of every tongue?frpm every land,
Who ee?er-faoed were going
Up through a narrow stair-way dark as night,
And I, too, went alone, save at my side
Bearing a lamp of precious golden light,
Walked my soul's guido.
Upward we moved, and loo;? again we stood
Within another chamber wide and high?
It might have held a mighty multitude,
'Twaa empty now of human company.

This high-toned and noble gen- 8
leman has been gathered to his J
father's, foil of years, and full of '
lonors. He was the last of tbat
ild school of Carolina gentlemen, c,
vhich gave character and position ?
0 the State, and made the term '
1 Carolinian" respected and re- J
pectable throughout the Union.? ?
t was the grand type of the Araer*
can gentlemen, llow sad the re- 1
lection, that all this honor and gloy
has departed from our State, c
ind the high officials of Sonth Car- N
lina at home and abroad, are now '
ynonymons with rogne, traitor '
ind scoundrel. r
Mr. linger was a Roman in J
)crson and character, in heart and '
ntellect. He wa6 tall, slender J
ind courtly in his appearance, '
*ith a striking face and seraetrical *
eatures. His head and face would 1
lave adorned a Grecian or Roman 8
nedal. In bis manners, he was al- 1
frays grave and dignified, vet cor- *
lial, frank, and simple, for lion- 8
>r, sincerity and probity of char- ]
tcter, no one of his illustrious commcrs
and associates in that proud '
>ld school of Carolina gentlemen j
n which lie was brought np, could '
lurpass hiiu. Higher praise no *
me can bestow or desire. He was 1
t patriot in every thought and feel ,
ng of his nature, and moreover,
le was a hero by nature, and '
would have died choerfully a mar- '
yr in dcfonce ol bis principles. ?
In the beginning of our politi- J
;al excitement in 1830, Mr. iu- '
;cr's associates wero almost all of f
beStates Rights party, and be him- (
lelf was a States Rights man, and
lied such. But when they adopted '
be doctrine of Nullification, lie re- 1
yarded them as taking a position j

>f our Federal compact. Long, '
ir.d most assiduously did they 1
ttrive, by every means in their 1
power, to retain him in their ranks, (
md make hiui a convert to their '
new doctrine. He resisted boldly (
md frankly, every effort they 1
made to win him over, and scorn 1
sd all their overtures of honor and '
distinction. The,* proposed to 1
make hitn Governor, as I have '
lieard him say. His little Parish, 1
which he represented in the Senate 1
for a great many years, undertook '
to instruct him, and in case of dis- <
obedience to those instructions, re- '
^nested him to resign his seat, and '
let them elect someone who would '
jarry out their political views.?
When I met bitn that fall iu Columbia,
be said to me, (bat he
would just aa soon think of resigning
his commission as commanding
General ou the eve of a great
battle.
Mr. Htiger was elected a memL)v
r of the State Convention in
L832, by the people of Spartanburg
District, although he resided
in Charleston, and, perhaps, bad
(lever been in the District in his
life. They knew that he was a
Union man, and his high cbaraoter
was a sufficient guarantee to them
>1 his fidelity to his trust. A. great
effort was made by the Union parfv

Judge Richardson were also elect- ;
sd in Spartanburg; Governor Mid- I
lleton was elected in Greenville, i
who had just return to Charleston
from his Russian mission, after an I
absence of tit teen or twenty years. <
Mr. linger came to Colombia !
when the convention assembled, i
and the first word he said to mo j
when we met in the streets, was: !
11 This is no place for as, we have
no business here, let them earry

Mr. Hoger w*s a most efoqnent

beard him, saw and felt hi a sincerity.
Ho spoke ofteq in the 8tatp
Senate, and 1 hare frequently lie

could not look at Lis manlj

f honor, virtue and patriotism
vithout thinking him worthy o
>eing a Roman Senator in tlx
mrest and best days of the Re
mblic. In his old age he was i

vhich assembled for reconstruct'
og the State under President John

lothing bad," said Mr. Huger.?
Hie Judgo then told him that hi
leard him make a political 6peecl
it Greenville in tbe days of Nulli
ication and Secession. Thi
ipeech was made by invitation o
lie citizens, and was regarded b;
ill who heard it, as the best Unioi
ipeech they had ever heard. Mr
Linger was on bis return from ttu
Virginia Springe. He rode ot
lorseback to the Springs and re
urned in the same way. Whoi
10 reached the mo9t fashionable o
hese Springs, he was assigned i
rery inferior room, and was indit
erently waited on by the servaute
He noticed that others who cairn
it'tcr him in their carriages ba<
setter accommodaiionu than him
lolf. Thereupon, he went to tb<
andlord and told him to add ti
lis registration, two horses and i
lervaut, and give him accomtno
iations accordingly.
Mr. Iluger had no children, an<
iie adopted a nephew who becatn
i Captain in the Confederate navv
ind was killed at New Orleans.?
This nephew and adopted son ha<
married the sister of Major-Genei
11 Meade of the United State
iriny, who died prior to her bus
land. Mr. Alfred Hnger had tin
children of his adopted son witl
liiru in Columbia at the time Gen
iral Meade visited that city for th
purpose of meeting me as Provi
iional Governor of the State. Th
Heneral was in command, at thn
:ime, of nil the Atlantic States.Alter
we had arraigned the bus
leas which brought ue together, li
laid to ine lb at lie was going to cal
in Mr. Huger, to seu his sister1
children, and ask Mr. Huger to le
Kim take the children home witl
liim to educate anu bring np. H
iad understood Mr. Huger was ii
eery straitened circumstances, an*
tot able to support and educat
die children. On his return he toll
me that Mr. linger would not tbinl
if parting with the children, am
delicately alluded to the fact, tha
iheir education at the North w?nl
be hostile to their native Stau
ind the memory of their gallau
lather. General Meade acquieae
in the views of Mr. Huger, am
iould not insist on taking the ohi
iren.
Whilst I was Provisional Got
srtior, Mr. Huger culled to see m
>ne morning, at Nickerson's Hotel
in Columbia, just before startin,
to Charleston. I requested him t
call and see General Sickles on hi
irrival in Charleston, and ask th
gentlemen of the city to do so.

When I first went on to Washing
Lou after uiy appointment, I calle
im tbe President, and requeste
him to appoint Mr. Huger Post
master of Charleston. He proir
ised to do so, aud I so stated t
Mr. Huger on my return to C<
I nubia. He had never said on
word to me aboot tho appoini
ment. There were a good man
others who bad applied to me fa
the appointment. Mr. Huger wi
appointed Fbstmaster of the city b
General Jackson, and continued i
tbe office till the close ot the wai
His predecessor bad been appoint
ed bj Washington. Obarlesco
had only had two postmasters i
that time, from the organisation c
the Federal fiorernment. Bat th
Iron-clad oath was an iusnperabl
/
* bar to Mr. Hnger'e restoration to
. the Poatoffice. I thought, when I
, suggested the appointment to the
- President, that this oath wonld not
r be exacted.
? When the civil war broke out
i between the North and the South,
f Mr. Hnger, although a strong
* Union man, did not uesitate to go
* with his State* He closed his ao
^ counts as Postmaster with the
1 United States, and deposited the
- money dne the Government in the
* Charleston Bank. He so informed
^ t h e Postmaster-General. But
* the money was seized by the Con*
* federate Statee, and after the war
3 was over; suit was brought against
9 Mr. Huger, and his suritiee to
* recover this money, amonnting to
a several thousand dollars. The
* case was heard before Judge Bry?
an, before all justice had fled the
1 State, and the jury found a verdict
1 in favor of Mr. Hnger.
In 1866 and 1867, 1 was engagI
ed in writing some article against
tho Congressional reconstruction
of South Carolina. Mr. Huger
wrote nie a very long letter, approving
of my articles, and enforcing
the views I bad taken with additional
arguement and suggestions.
There were fow public men
in South Carolina, who so uniformly
commanded the respect of all
parties as Alfred Huger. I do
not remember that any one, in
the highest excitement of politics,
ever attempted to disparage him,
or reflect on his honor and patriotism.
As an evidence of his fearless
advocacy of justice, right and hutnantiy,
I will mention a single in?
stance. In time of our Abolition
excitement, the Legislature passed
^ a law requireing all colored seamen
to he lodged in jail during
^ the stay of their vessel in any port
i in South Carolina. Mr. linger
had seen some seamen carried to
jail under this law. He denounced
f it fiercely, and wrote roe a letter
^ whilst 1 was in the Legislature, to
try and have the odious and tin(
- just law repealed. It was rather
^ dangerous to express such sent4
ments in Charleston at that timo.

0 each other reminded one of two

Mr. Vuorhees, in his recent atit
tack on Mr. Greeley, styled bis
d signing ot Mr. Davis1 bond " an
d impertinent interference." Allow
1 me to give you the true history of
that matter, as I recently learned
r. it in New York, from a gentleman
e who knew all about it. Mrs.
1, Davis went to New York to cong
suit Charles O'Conneor, Mr. Da
0 vis1 counsel, as to the best manner
is of effecting his release from prise
on. Mr, O'Connor told her that
1 in his opinion there was but one
i? way that it could be done, and
that was to get the rercsentative
e man of the Republican party to
it sign his bond. Mrs. Davis faquird
ed who that inau was. Mr.
I. O'Connor replied that it was ?lor;
ace Greeley. She then asked him
d if he would not see Mr. Greeley,
d and get him to do it. He replied
that he had no influence with Mr.
i Greeley, and that she was the proo
per person to see him. She said
to do it, and tbat is to get the rep
resentative man of the Kepcblican
party to sign bis bond, and that
yon are that man. He has .advised
me to apply to youi He says
that you have a kind heart, and
that von will do it, if yon believe
it to be right. My hnsband is dying.
Mr. Greeley, may I hope
that yon will favorable consider
my application ?"
Mr. Greeley arose, extended bis
hand to Mrs. Davis, and said:
14 Madam, yon may, for I will sign
his bond." Mr. Gfreeley was then
a prominont candidate before the
Legislature for the United States
Senate. Some of his friends heard
that he had agreed to sign
mr. uavir bona, 'JL'hey went to
him and protected against it. They
told him that they had made a
count, and that he would be elected
by six majority, but that if he
signed this bond, it would defeat
hfm. He replied : 441 know it
will." They told him that he was
one of the owners of the Tribune,
and if he signed this bond, he
wouid lose tbousauds of subscribers.
He replied: "I know it."
They 6aid, 44 Mr. Greolov, you
have written a history of the war,
one volume you have out, and
have sold largo numbers of it.?
Your second volume is nearly out,
and you have large orders for that.
If you sign this bond, these orders
will be countermanded, and you
will lose a large amount of money."
He replied : '* Gentlemen, I
know it; but it is right, and I will
do it." lie did do it, and I am
informed that ho lost a seat in the
United States Senate, and over
$30,000.

The Action of tho Tonnes*** Demooraoy.
The Democratic State Convention
of Tennessee has declared in
favor of the policy of sustaining
Greeley and Brown. This decision
is embraced in the following
resolution which was adopted by
a large majority :
44 Inasmuch as the Convention
of Liberal Republicans held al
Cincinnati has presented to the
country tho names of Horace
Greeley and B. Gratz Brown, as
candidates for President and VicePresident,
pledged to maintain
and enforce the doctrine above
enunciated, and having invited
tho co operation of all patriotic
citizens in their sup]?ort, we deem
it but tho part of pratriotic duty
to dcclaro that, in the contest well
nigh upon us, said nominees de
serve tho support of every patriot
in the land, as against a ticket
representing tho principles, policy,
and practices of tho present
Federal Administration; and
while rc affirming our purpose and
desire to preserve tho intregrity
of the Democratic party, we nevertheless
dcclaro in our behalf,
and in behalf of the people we
represent, that with the lights before
us, the presentation of candidates
for the Presidency and VicePresidency
in the approaching
centest by the Democratic party
of the nation-would be unwise,
unnecessary, and exceeding dan
gerous to tho welfare of the people
at large."
| That this represents tho general
sentiment of the Southern
Democracy, we have not a doubt.
" With tho lights before us," tho
presentation of candidates for the
Presidency and Vice-Presidency
by the Democracy would certainly
be most unwise.
Washington, May 22.
The Senate adjourned this
morning to 1 o'clock to-day, having
passed the Houso amnesty
bill by a two-thirds vote, thus
placing it beyond the President's
control; also the bill extending
the suspension of habeas corpus /
also Stunner's civil rights bill, but
so emasculated that Sumner himself
entered a motion to .reconsider.
These vital measures were
passed by a bare quorum. The
following is the verbiage of the
amnesty bill:
Be it enacted by the Senate
and House of representatives of
the United States of America, in
Congress assembled, two-thirds of
each House concnriug therein,
That all political disabilities imposed
by the third section of the
14th article of the amendments of
the Constitution of the United
States, are hereby removed from
all persons whomsoever, except
Senators and Representatives of
the Thirty-sixth and Thirty seventh
Congress, officers in the judicial,
military find naval service of the
United States, heads of depart
msnts and foreign ministers of the
United Statos.
The civil rights bill, at passed,
applies only to inns, licensed places
of public enteriainment or amuse
merit, and stage coaches, railroads,
ttnd other public modes of convey
auce for freight or passenger*.?

Centennial Address. ?
Mr. Editor?Will you be kind
enongh to allow me tbe use of
yonr interesting colnmns to say
that there will be delivered at Ti
Nazareth Church, in this county,
Deo volenti on Saturday, the 15th 10
day of June, proximo, by Dr. B. dl
M. Palmer, of New Orleans, a
Centennial Address. The Scotch* u
Irish settled on tbe Tyger Ilivers c
iu 1761. Rev. George Howe, D.
D., eleven years ago delivered to fe
the congregation a very instruct- t!l
ire, interesting historical address
on the Scotch-Irish and ther settle- ??
mcnts on the Tyger Rivers and A
other neighboring precincts. Al
though they had a house ot wor- lh
ship and occasional preaching, 0
there was no organised church till
the spring of 1T72. Joseph Alex- gi
ander, D. D., residing in Bullock's
creek congregation, York District,
organized the chnrch, and the first <
Elders chosen were Andrew Bar- ??
ry, Robert Neshitt, John Mackel- 2<
ratb, and Thomas Peden. The
congregation had such exalted pi
conceptions of the nature and re- h
sponsibilities, of the office of mling
elder, that they could find
none among them who, in their A
judgment, were fit for the place ?i
and the duties of the office of rul- it
ing elder, that they could find
none among them who, in their
judgment, were tit for the place k
and the duties of the office. Dr. ei
Alexander remarked to them. u If
ye canna get hewn stones for the
building, ye ranst take donna" i.
e., rough ones. The subject of
Dr. Palmer's address, which is intended
to commemorate the organization
ot the church, will be,
41 The Church of God, its dignity
and glory the organization institntcd
by God in the world for the
promotion of his own glory and
for the best interest of man here
and hereafter. The friends of the
congregation and the public are
invited to attend aud hear the address.
Dr. Palmer will preach on
the following Sabbath, and admin,
