" gcaufort County Republican THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1872. | A CARD FROM COL. C. W. DUDLEY. j Messrs Editors:? Y<>u m intake. me entirely in your remarks at. the h^ad of an extract from the Malboro' Times, wherein you se^ra to assign as a easoti for my warring with the It publican party in this State no longer that it is' the strongest party." So far as this is calcu- j lated to produce the impression that my course in the future will be influenced in . the slightest degree, I beg to he allowed to disclaim, and in order to pnt nnself right with those who have r?ad t.he brief sketch of ray remark* in the public meet- ! iog at BennettsviHe. on the 19 h ultimo respectfully ask the use of y.ur co'umns to set forth the true reasons which caused those remarks to be made. I Rhail he j happy if ray fellow cit;zens w?U f? el the force of them and one and all determine to unite with me in an honest endeavor to do something for our uehappv Srate in the only practicable manner which re mains at our disposal. * Adversity has been teaching its cruel lesson since the sutrend^r at Appomattox, in vain. Had tho?e who have influenced j public opinion in this State fu'lv realiz d | the situation, the i>eople woii'd have been spared the tortnrs ihev have since in- , curred. it would have 1 een sheer mercy to have toldth? ni plainly that from the time of the, surrender ad? f-*atMl puople had no right to mew terms me w re compelled to accept such as were made* the conditions of p^-ace. and accept. ?hem in honest hearts, intending to observe them in letter and in spirit. It. mu*t he admitted that our conquerors were generous?not a shout from a victorious soldier insulted the misfortunes of a brave bu* unfortunate army end when the din of war was over, these conquerors liberally ; contributed from their ovn private re sources, to furnish the Southern people j with food mcessary tasudain the lives of tbems. lv< s and their famishing f?nrlie*.

Arthur Morelet, a French gentleman of extensive scientific acquirements, made up his mind to ex* plore one of the most seclude I and unknown port ons of the earth: that vast region which liea l*)tween <'hiapas. Tabasco, Yucatan, and the republic Guatemala, comprises a considerable portion of each of those s?a es. and marked on the mao of 'Central Anieiica either by a blank, or by conjectural mounnins, lakes, and rivers. A week's journey thrmgh the lagoons of Camneachy, with their strange reptile population and pest of insects, a slowj?oling canoe voyage, in which the wonderful forest* piss drea ni'y bv the traveler, brought M. Morlet to 1'alenque. Such wonders of vegetation hid already be ;n di?c'oried. that he prepared for his tramp through the forest to the ruin* with composure. which, how' ver, was occasionally d;s ur!>el bv what hesiw, for instance, an ar'im. whose leave* he mca<t ired. Each wa? two yards in lengfh by on* an I a half in hre dth, and capable of afford.ng sb >de to three person i The d msity of the forest concealed the ruins until M. Morlet and his companion w?r>' close uoon them; and on ascending a steep elevation, they fo -n 1 themselves at the portal of a vast edifice, until that instant hidden.

The travelers found themselves in front of the bu lding cal el t':e i'alace, j of which thev took possession, and whers they made the r abode or a fortn ght.
