President for their rights. He says : "I believe
measures will'shortly be iuiroduoed into

to save the nation's honor." Ee concluded with
moving three cheers for the Union, three -for

for the colored men.
Mr. Thotulinsou followed to the same effect,
with some few differences. He insisted that
poor white meri'in South Carolina were troa|J
od with as much contempt as were the negroes.
He wished these two classes to come forward
together, as in one cause. ' The leading and
influential men," he said, "can never be allowed
to have any farther say- in the reconstruction
of this Government.'1 The Northern peo ple
were willing to forgive and f.irgct'in the
case of the common people, butUnJso was neither
forgetting nor forgiving in the ease of the

It was while the Major was thus discoursing
that Gen. Gillmore and Chief Justice' Chase

The Way to Finish the Guerillas.?Now
, that all regular warfare is at au end, it is the
duty of the government promptly to suppress
the roving bands of guerillas who are still scattered
through the Southern, States,- preying
alike upon friend'and foe, if indeed they have
any friends among the Southern people, who
must necessarily*be the greatest sufferers by
' their predatory raids. The way to finish these
lellows is to. declare tnem outlaws, 'ana treat
them-as such whenever 'they are captured.?
They can uo longer be regarded in any- other
-, light than as brigands' Brigandage is a Span;isli
and Italian institution, which may do very
wfcll in Mexico, and in portions of Itily, J>ut..is
lM suited to this countr), and cannot flourish
here. The soldiers of the guerilla chief Mosby
have deserted him, but Mosby himself' refuses
to surrender. We understand that General
Gnyit issued orders to. General IJau'cock do
give him one hour in*whieh to 'surrender, and
if he' refused, to declare hip outlawed, and deal
out to him tip penalty df outlawry. This or*
dor is probably an indication of the course the
government intends to pursue towards all the
rest of tiie rrucrillas. and it is the mooer .W;wv
to get vi<i of tliebi.?N. Y. JIayld.

The bravo 'men ia these rfruiics who have
survived the bloody war of the past four years,
are now r6tnrniog homo, as prisoners of war,
on their parole ; and unable again to take up
their arms until the conditions have been performed
upon which their cjyuivity has 'been
terminated.
The Government of the Confederate States,
in the creation of which South-Carolina united
with'her sister States, lias Suspended its civil
and military authority, and the high duty of
providing measures for the tvcilare of its citizens,
by a steru necessity, has been developed
upon the Government of the State.
In thir^imcxpectcd termination of the active
powers of Government, in peace and in war,
which'jSouth Carolina granted to the common
Government of the Confederate States, circuiU:
stances have Tendered llic condition of this
State one of peculiar embarrassment. Deeply
suffering from tlic cdnscijuences of the war, 'in
many respects, in lioine is that suffering more
peculiarly trying than in the misery which
now. affects a considcrablcrportion of its .pupu-*
lation ; which threatens a larger portion,* and
. may involve the whole of <it in the suffering
which want, approaching starvation, has produced
air! will produce. The l'ffge supplies
{ contributed to the suppdrt of the armies of the
i Confederation had been irivoii at a time when
abundance enabled the population to' bear its
withdrawal without aggravated suffering. But
the great destruction of means of subsistence
at the present time, and the difficulties of securing
it in the future by the nc.xt. crop, had,
even, before "the reverses which befell the armies,
of the Confederation, satisfied all that it would
be impossible to part with'tlie supplies which
had been gathered for the armies, without destroying
the support.of the population, in many;
portions of the State. And attempts were madeto
inforfn the authorities of the ^Confederate
Government, "that not ODly the apprehension
but the certainty of evil consequences would

, ' With the dissolution Of the armies of thi "
Cpnfederatiori, the necessity for these supplies
has ceased; with the removal of that necessity
arises the stronger obligation upon the authorities
of the State", to preserve these supplies for
the mitigation of the snffcriog of tho people of
the State.' To.thet cpd, therefore, it is no\V
declared that all subsistence stores and property
of the Confederate States within tho limits
of the State, should be turned over to and
