'The request to t - (1overnor vaio in thii shap) bin dated yesterday from Florence: To M1. B. McSwev.ti-v, Governjor: Mooting of citizwo held last, night; following 1unaiin. mlly adopted: loolved, That io Govornor be re(gnested to return the prisoners to the Florenco couity jail lihre they properly belong." Please advigo us of your action. Henry H1. 11usband4, Secretary. Gov. fcswieevy's reply to this tologram was as follows: To 11. 11. I-tuibandp, Secret'llry, Flor once, S. C.: The pris,ners ari, now safe in pen itentiarv, where I I:"i it mdvisable for them to remainat ;dpresent. Will communicate With -.licitor Vilson. Ml. B. '.ieSweeno, G ovornr. 10 It is interestilg tu reenAl inl this connection that tho last time a mass meeting was hold and such a do mand wias made upoa the Governor for tbc return of a prisoner, was .about 11 years ago, when the people -of Lexington so act:d in the case of Wade Loaphart, v negro. Every assuranco was given tho lt Gov. Richardson that thU prisonerl would bo peorfectly safe it. Lexington jail and that no lynching would be per mitt(d to occur. A committee of citizns camo lie: and took the prisiner over, plvd'ing his safety. 11he manl was soi.t. back and the hlyncing, which r.iie could havo prevented, took picac. The physician at. ihin poitontiary is giving the wounded prilsoner most 1careful attention. TIhe man's leg was not amputated c.esterdaoy as was expecated, the mani's conidition being such as to make the- operat ion v'ery risky'. It is doubt.d if he will re cover from his woun?.!s. SAs IT silO 21.D) IiE. (Trho State- .dXitorial.) Mr. E. HI. Lue--s telegrap)hs us from Florence: "The great majority of lawv-abiding ct.izens approvo course pursued by Governor and Sheriff and1( do not sianction and did not tako part in meeting held last night." This is as it shonld be. In tak ing all possible precautionis to piotect the prisonerfi in his charge the Sherift did his ~idy as an officer, .and in cooperating with him and as :sistinig him with all the mneansa at his 'displosal Goev. Mess~eney did his dut.y as chief maugistrato. There 8 hould . bo no backward step, no yielding in this2mator. T1hio people of Florronco seokmg~ to lynch these ~> negroes shou1lie bo iankful that they were balked and that. the law was 'k upheld. If they are not now, they will be wvhon their blood gets cooler. No officer of the law worthy of the name would yield his prisoner to the mobi. No good citizen wvill hold an otlicor to blame for performing his sworn duty. The grand diflicukty is to feel [he reality of both woer1d.-, so aIs to giv.e each its due place ini our thoughts and feelings, to keepi our mind's gyei and our.heart's eye fixed on the laud oQf promise withouut looking away from tihe road we o o to travel oward it.

Well, we of the South will nover do that, and you of tho North mayi as well coaso your importunities inl that di rection. Wo of the South beliove that our cause was just; and that it was overwhelmod by numbers. That cause wias not t]ho incident of slavery, but local solf govornmont and constitutional libert.y. Never was that camuse more vital than it is today. Never wis coi,stitutioal liberty more zc-iously imnaed by the Northern faction control !ng the government. Even Senator Hoar admits that. If the empire bo established here on a falso system of Republican govern mont, wvlo will doubt the verdict of 1istory as to the cause of the Con feceracy. And it is "the cauuse, not the fate of the cause that is glorious." At Ant iotamu, not long ago, a inon umont was erected to the B3lue and the Gray who fell there. In his ad dress on that occasion, Govornor Smith said: "It is the only instance iln the woerlds history of a single men umnent, being erected to those who fought eahih ot her ont the Iieldls of bait tie." in the.battle of Antiotam, as in many other battles of the Civil wvar, Americans not only fought against Americans, b)ut foreigners as woll1. The ''Confederate Hand book," of which (Jol. Robert C. Wood, oi New Orleans, is the author, states that there were 404,000 foreigners in the Union army, not includlilg 186, 000) negroes. Trhe seceding States of thg South also supplied the North with 317,714 soldiers. "The Fed er al government," decla resi Col. Wood, "'could have placed in t he field an army 212,014 superior in nlumbler to the entire Confederate forces with out onlisting a single man from the Northern Staros." The total enmoll moint Federal soldiers dluring the Civil wvar was 2,778,:300, and the number of pensions now oni the gov ernent rolls is nearly 1,000,000. These ligures show the tremendous odds against which tho South had to contend and the extent to which Eu. rope was a factor in defeating tihe (Con fedorney.
