July 21.-I have just been holding ;i long conversation >vith u leading member of the South Caro? lina delegation about Gov. IVrry'n lr.textraordinary speech, and on the gctu-ral subject of South Carolina Unionism, yhen T ? xnlain that this .ientlcmun is an intimate friend und f ?rmer business associate of < ?-overnor berry's, and that, by recommendation of that (??ricer, he 1ms recently been appointed to an important position under the "Provisional Government," it will not bc doubted that lie placer matters in the most favorable light for the Govert tor. and that his own loy? alty nr.d Unionism ore of the bast type President Johnson can lind iii South Carolina. .rt?: LT.iroitXAJScK or ixn rt i >..: ii-; ota: "SSTIMATE^' OF C"N"lOT?

I :." ked 1^ if there !S likely to be any difficulty ou that, score: "Well,.I guess there'll be a very small vote; but," he added, with the skill of a thorough-bred politician, "those who do vote will ve;-;.- fairly represent the wishes of the rest. We :irt; a. very proud and sensitive people, and a good many have a natural dis? position to shrink from thc oath of allegiance to a Government they cast oil" forever nearly five years ago. In a year or two they'll come in all right; and, meantime, they'll oe very glad or the results which the votes ot their neighbors will secure. South Carolina j Ls and will be ono o? the very best Union States we have." "But wind security have we, in re? storing political power to a coniiuu ; nity disposed towards us as your's was, j and still feeling as voa now repre? sent?" ! "Oh, our people are impulsive, and they are always decided, one way or I tko other." I "Suppose the representatives you I elect should be admitted t<> Congress, I and Sc^h Carolina should mus bo : clothefliPR?th all her old power-you who before- secession wer ? tho Union men, will be tlie only voters now, as you state it. but in two tu- ? hr->e years, or com's.', everybody will vote again. \ "Will not you original Union ne n be ?gain out-numbered by the original : secessionists?"' i "1 don't believe we ever wore out ? numbered. 1 don't believe there ever was a majority for secession in .South j Carolina." ' "Tho poll , books tell a different i story."' i "Yes, but remember we have been fighting secession for thirty y oars and j had gor tirod of it.

If wc don t I-.-1, them try it now, they'll keep us Lu a constant turmoil until we do. h is bound to conn; some tira^, ?ind ! wc may us well spare ourselves further trouble and let it com-- now. "-" "In other words, then, men said let \ the Union be destroyed, with what? ever attendant horrors, rather than one should bo bothered t<> keep up ! this perpetual struggle. " "Well, not exactly that. You must remember there was a tremendous : pressure. ? myself hail my house surrounded by :t hundred and fifty . armed tuon, one night before the elec . tion, because they thought i was a j Union niau. There w;is no making ; head against the current." The South Carolinian was;: gentle? man, at once by birth, culture and ?bearing, (which is niora than cen be 'said of lunch of the driftwood now thrown uppermost in Southern socie? ty in the process ol' re-organization,) ami so 1 did not add aloud the mental comment which no :.:;-:i can help making on these explanations--that if tee Union mon were, as he said, in a ' majority, they acted tuon like < -wards; ?in<l if they were liol, they ure acting now lihe hvpoeriios. .ibu i could not : help saying: ' : "By your showing, then, the rebel, j element was resistless before the pns ! sit,ge of ti"- secession ordinance, and universal aft -r ii.
