The question was on tlio amendment of: Mr. Moore. Mr. McGowan?As i- happened to me not to be able to be present through this debate, I proposo to offer a few remarks. The section under debate is in reference to the appointment of the officers, and the amendment proposes that the offices, from captain, should be made in a different manner from that proposed by the bill. Before wo decide on '.Vis question, it is necessary to decide on the military condition of our iitate, and the character of the force to be raised. This seems to me to be indispensable. First : what is the military condition of South Carolina \ What the state of our military organization ? Every citizen of the State of South Carolina, between the - - . . .. .. . ages or eighteen and torly nve aro'enr-jiien upon tl.e list of citizen soldiers; are diwi* xle?l into brigades, regiments, battalions and divisions. They are also divided territorially, sad these comprise the whole territory of the State. This hody, amounting to 05,000 men, exclusive of the alarm men of the State, perform the services of the State gratuitously, elect their own officers ; find, under the militia law, as now organized, it is uniformly the case that they do elect (.heir own officers. Colonel, and all under colonel, are elected by the soldiers of the territorial division, and all over that, by the pQif)tpis*j.Qped officers of llieir respective ^commands. I'M* 's U>e condition of Soi}th Carolina nov, this army of 65.000 fitizen soldiery is not j*II needed, and therefore it is H^cessary tp suggest some plan PUfraf the ordinary military organisation pf the StHte, to rajse tjiis force. Wjiat is the size of the force needed t I believe-ihat f??\>'r f Jje bill proposes .to raise sijc, eight, or ten fhousautj: -4n(l therefore it is necessary /.hat we go oijt of the present military organization, and that they sbou!4 be mired as far as possible, from all parte of the State, Next, what kind of troops shall this ten thousand be! I suppose ?h#jb ire are all ngreed that they should be volunteers. And tbat peculiar kind of troops are particularly adapted to a Republican forui of government. Under our covern ment, as In-all the States of this Union, there is ap Instinctive horror of standing i > ..armies. The reliance of the State is upon its citizen 6oldiery; and jt js called ipto service tW form of volunteers. This is fight ; for where public opinion is the fojjn-, dation of armies as well as governments.?where the soldier js much interested Th military affairs as the ofljcer?:when vbayopets as wfeH aa swords apeak, it is proper for these troops to be volunteers. The.object of the force.is purely defensive, and it; 7a proper that the citizen should defend bis wives, bis'children and his fire side. Third: Efow shall this force be organized ? I suppose that- *benfI state that |Jie tgjraajr ia to tw voluntary, tbat tlxo /questfdtf is settled. T know ot no manner of organising an army, but in one of two wafs. I .understand,tbat the first way ,is, tbat the offioef^are cqO?tf twioDed, and then Bent-to. ^enlist soldiery aod jhew, than appointed,' art Afterwards promoted By seniority. .other iff thit- the SoWiers organice ifc'eib-r selves into ? company, pnd o/Bce/s are choseo afterwadrs, selected from their oWn I .

It mny be said, in reply, that the Legislature would not be in session when this election was needed ; that it is a bill to supply a future emergency, and when this arises the Legislature may not be in session. 19ut we must not leave the election of these general officers until the emergency come5. No! they must bo elected now, or our whole system will be incomplete. Wo ought to have our force arjnpd, equipped, --? ? - uiwpmitu, ruauy 10 uouuu into action at tlio call of the State, or else, in the very face of the enemy, wc will have to select officers. We need npt put them immediately under pay, but have them ail prei pared for service. It, however, there be any objection to tho appointment of these officers now, let it bo remembered, that the Legislature will probably be in session when | the emergency arises. Jiut, in regard to | the other officers, I insist that the choipo pf \ them be given tp their respective commands. It is in analogy wilb tho law of South Carolina. This law provides that they elect all their officers, but for the sako of prudence, I will submit to have the?r higher officers appointed by ptbprs. But who are those to bo placed under these commanders? Citizens, by the law of South Carolina ; tjie equals of their officers, and tbe peers pf those above them ; soldiers from choice, not necessity ; from patriotism, not gain; and who shrink back with horror from haincr oKnfflo/l ?? i wuuinvu uv/n U IIJlilt? UUli diliun of mercenaries, whose business it is to die, We do not propose to go into an offensive war, but thesp troops will defend their bomeB and firo sides. Besides, it is uncertain whether they will be employed? ready when the work is dope to sink back again into the bosom of their country. ? The Palmetto I^egimpnt mustered under this law into the service of the United States, and elected their own officers of Major, Lieutenant-Colonel, and Colonel. That regiment has dunn mnm fXr Carolina than everything ejso during the past century, but theirs was not-a defensive, but an offensive war. Jn a foreign country, they struggled to maintain their country's" honor. Butler, Gladden, and Dickinsion, were elected bv their own men. Butler waa not even in the State when elected, though the lives t>f his electors depended on their choice. There waa not a soldier in the rank*, who*s|>w llr. Rutler receive the flag that now hanga in. our sight on the race-course in Charleston from Mayor Ifutchinson, but who knew thaf, though he made no promises, yet th^t his eye told that he would come with itfrom the battle-field, or or) it when it is done. lieutenant-Colonel Dickinson, in the army of Napoleon f, would have Brfen stvled the hrnvAnfc of fJio f v U Major Gladden allowed he w^s the first in' bravery, as he received from Dickinson the colors that, on the plains of Ghurubusco, had led to glory and to triumph. Could. Suijth Carplina.have made a better choice ? I am afraid, also that the opponontg of this amendment would dampen the ardor of those who have offered' their eervjoes. I hope, therefore, that the f aiT^cpdmant of oqiy friend' from Anderson, whi.clj is thp oply -ioiermpdiate policy, will prevail. < u ' " v.

Tho following is tho report of tho Cora? , raitteo on Education, on pertain resolutions ] of enquiry, concerning tho Teacliew in the Public Schools in Charleston : j The Committee on Education, to whom ( was referred certain resolutions of enquiry, ' pp.ueerning the teachers in the public ( j schools.in Charleston beg leave to repori: That they haye made enquiry as directed, and from the information within their reach, find that there nrp uow in operation in ( Charleston, six Common Schools, and odc ( | Normal and Iligh School for girls, in nil ! of which tlir>r? nro nlinnl ; teachers, of whom nine aro from the l^orth, ( and the remaining sixty-eight from Charleston. These nine teachers have situations as follows: Two are principals of the male and female departments of the St. Philip's- c street school; two aro principals of the i same department in the Friend-street c schools; ono is fqmale principal of the pri- a ipary department in ihe Morris-street school; one is male pri: cipal in the Nor- ^ mal school, and three aro teachers in the t same school. Ii It appears, therefore, that in the Com- t mon Schools, therp ?ro five Northern ii teachers out of seventy-three, and that these five hold tlio nlanea nf nrinf.innla ? _ , ? , , while all their assistants are frora our midst, p As the system of education inaugurated at d Charleston was new in its details and management, it seems to have been a necessity a that those who were to conduct it should c be familiar with it. Accordingly, the pria- 1 cipals who were to be the conductors were 0 imported. These sphoola are under the a supervision of a very intelligent, jealous e and patriotic Board of Commissioners, ap- $ pointed by the Legislature, aqd yqqr Com- I mittee believe-that the entire management of these schools, which are now 'in the full i, tide of successful experiment, may be safely left to that Board.. They cannot,however in their opinion, the Board of Commission- r ers have "evinced, their good sense and pa- t, triotism, equally by employing from abroad c the proper heads, and-putting R?d?r lh?'r I training Jill the*assietapts at home. In this way they hare been enabled to secure all h the advantages for the present, with the t prospect of final indepepdeqpe jq the fu-,,( ture. The Normal School was established with \ the twq-fold object of promoting the same v end, natne|y : The trAiniog of teachers, and ( and also qf furnishing thorhighest grade of a education to young ladies. Tliese objects g required teachers wl/o had fercotoledge of 'fc the inodes of ppndupting formal Schools, a and again limited the choice of the Board. a xr n.

In their selection they have been successful, as ^bp (Commissioners appointed by the )^at Legislature testify. *' J j A a. to any danger to be apprehended from rtiolr teaching, the Committee,unanl- fl mously .think it is purely imaginary.

Judge Longstrcel, in thp following letter to the editors of the Richmond Enquirer, trios to enlighten the people of that Slate na to the true position of South Carolina just at this juncture of public affairs: Co^vmdia, S- C., Deo. fl, 1880. Gentlemen : Allow nio n sifiall sptrco in your paper to disabuse the myitis of Virginians of a very false impression which, they hnvo of the secession movement in his.folate. Almost all your distinguished correspondents speak of it as n thing got? j ten up by politicians, and as being ej^rfely under ^heir control. Never wa9 there u greater mistake. It is the result of one universal outburst of indignation on the part of the people at Lincoln's election-? one spontaneous and almost unanimous resolve, from the mountaine to the eea* board, that they nover should come under Black Republican rule. Sire, you never ghw anything like it ; the yforld never saw .anything like it. You might as well attempt to control ^ tornado, bb to attempt to stop ihetn from 'seceseiop. *]fhey drive politicians before, ' them like (beep. They do not vvait for leaders to appoint meetings, with intent tq address them. They gather in multitudes * ? . , . v. , . , - nnu oyi wnere a speaner is, visit mm, nna compel biip to spenk and they haVe not . found one yet (jold epoiigh to doptylpCd secession?separate secession?IrtforelJiepj. ' kV;* 4pd yet there is not tamultjtsny.^ t^io. tumult of applause; no riotous conduct, no strife, no heart burning?nny4 quito the reverse. It is all stpiles, joy and good fellowship. Their meetings ..are generally at night; fjli the day every m&j?|& quietly ap Ev? ya business, and everygojng ' smoothly on.
