Appeal for Jefferson Davis,
&c.
A resolution was submitted yesterday
In the Convention,- appealing to the mcr_
cy of President Johnson, in behalf of the
late President of the Confederate States.
That he was such, and that these States
were confederated, and in a Government
defixdo, is one of those fixed facts which
cannot tie gainsayed. Xlicr legitimacy ot
both may be denied, but it is a mere
miserable affectation to employ any periphrasis
to describe or define them. Tbc
resolution also appeals in behalf of VicePresident
Stephens, and Mr. Mngrath,
h-te Governor of this State, and Mr.
Trenliolm, late Secretary of flic Treasury
of the Confederate States. In the appeal i
for each and all of these we fully concur;
and we entreat for them, not pardon, but
mere)'. We will leave to ethers to distinguish
between these scvehil objects.?
Now, we have but ono'remark to make.
These appeals are eminently proper, coming,
not nfer^iy from the people of South
Carolina, but liom those of all' the several
States of the Confederacy. IIow should
any of their people be able to lift their
heads if harm should come to any of
their.leaders ? President Johnson must
. " perceive that to save these people from
sksimo. lift tnnst. shelter these, their rct>
rc9entative men, from barm. Wc Lave
no doubt that he will, do so, and we arc
? willing to leave this matter in his hands.
He ean entertain no base or little revenges.
We take it fur granted that he will dismiss?without
impediment or bond?all
these eminent persons of State-r?that he
will give to Mr. Davis the freedom of the
country, or the use of a frigate to convey
Uitn to foreign shores, lie can do no less.
What ean the United States power gain
bv banking him a victim on the scaffold.?
lie will be distinguished all oveb' the
worlrl as a martyr to constitutional
, * freedom. Nor will it affect his claims
as snch, even if you skould'provc him in
error in his faith.. Tt was his faith ! Hnt
- 11 he cannot be proved in error. His de*
fence will be found, and that of the South,
I in the written Constitutions of every State
of New"- England and the North. Bat
? should this avail not, what would Europe
say-?what the world?what the future?
r\f af fine aI/1 mnn
upon the scaffold?his people subdued?
their arms cast to the ground?their
homes and hopes ruined?their concession
^cuplc, their surrender complete;
and they, with hands uplifted' and with,
one voioe, appealing for mercy, to the
- conqueror, which that conqueror?every"
where secure, everywhere triumphant?
no longer baffled, no longer doubtful of
his complete authority?refuses, in the
, insolence of victory, in the bitterness of
revenge, in the malignity of hate?refuses
to accord! What a spectacle, what a
shame?what a reproach, for the finger
of scorn, through successive ages. And
. his case is that of the Vice-President, of
Mr. Magrath and Mr. Trenholm. They
- have been true to the principles in which
, they had been trained, and which find
tffcir justification in the laws of faith,
conscience and country, enunciated by tri! i
the colonies and States, amidst the rolling
storms and thunders of 177G. We
have no reason to doubt that President
Johnson is prepared to relievo all these
unhappy men from their bonds. We
% should not be surprised to hear, even
while we write, that he has entered the
i cells of the captives, and said to them :
' Go, be free!" This would be noble.?
This wouM be magnanimous. It would
be worthy of a great man. It would
prove him worthy of a great people.?

Negro Mass Meeting.?Among late
r * Northern news wc find^lhe following account
of a negro Mass Meeting in North
Alabama.
"A negro mas9 meeting?a strange
significant feature in Alabama politics?
was held at Iluntsville, Alabama, August
23. About two thousand former slaves
were present. They were addrssed by
General Fish, of the Frecdmen's Bureau,
- who told tbem that whatever was detri-.
mental to the black man was detrimental
alike to the white man. vHc had
hoped to be able to lease some abandoned
plantations to them; but as President
Johnson, he believed, "was going to parl
dou all the rebels," their prospects were
| -* not so good in this respect as they had
f been. He advised them to live morally,
to work on shares, and to disabuse their
_ urind^ of the notion that their old master's
? estates were going to be cut up amongst
thcin. He told them that they should
have justice and fair play, but otherwise
tbey must "work out their own salvation."
The conduct of the assemblage is stated
I to have been unexceptionable, and the
General's speech produced a good effect
on all present.
Ten young gifls were burnt to death
during a Church festival at Treves, in
i Russia,'by the falling of a lighted taper
k on their muslin dresses.

General Gilmore's Order
on the Restoration of
Civil Authority.
GENERAL ORDERS?rO. 30
ITdqks. Dbp't.- South Carolina. )
Hilton Head, S. C., Sept. 8, 18G5. [
In order to remove all seeming conflict
of jurisdiction bet ween the civil and military
authorities throughout the State of
South Carolina, promoto the preservation
of quiet and good order; relieve the people
as much as possible from all unnecessary
restraints of "martial law, and reduce
the expense of the military establishment
it is hereby ordered: .
First?That the Superior nDd Circuit
Provost Courts will continue in operation
as heretofore, and shall have, as against
uuj Huu an civil courts, cxciuajve tugui"
zsnce tb try and adjuoate in all cases
.where freedmcn and other persons of color
arc directly or indirectly concerned.
Tliis will not be so interpreted as to restrict
the authority of the agents of the
Bureau of Refugees, Frecdinen and Abandoned
Lands.
Second-^Tlie c(Vil courts may be opened,
and all civil and municipal officers
who shall have taken the ampesty oath
last prescribed, and who if they belong
to either of the classes excepted from amnesty,
shall Lave received executive pardon,
will bo allowed to resume the exercise
of their official duties, under such of
the laws of South Carolina, in force immediately
before the 17th day of November,
1 SCO, as are- not inconsistent with
the laws nf Congress and the proclamations'of
the President, which laws and
proclamations arc in all cases to be respected.
Third?It being impractablc to establish
and preserve military posts in sufficiently
close proximity to maintain a perfect
military police in every portion of
the State, the civil magistrates will be allowed
to make arrests in all cases of
breach of the public peace; but the arrests
of freedmcn and other persons of color,
when reudercd necessary by t^ic absence '
of the military, will iu all cases be imme- j
diately reported; and the custody of the |
norson or norsons arrested nvomDtlv trans-!
I - - - - 1 - 1 & w
ferred to the nearest military commander.
Tic functions of civil officers mco disregards
this order will be suspended..

A Female Biutjsh Officer.?An
incident-is just now being discussed- in
military circles so extraordinary that,
were not its truth capable of being vouched
for by official authority, tke narration
would certainly be deemed absolutely
incredible. British officers quartered as the
Cape between fifteen and twenty years
ago, may remember a certain J)r. Barry,
attached to the medical staff there, and
enjovinc a reputation for considerable
skill in his profession, cspeacially for firm-!
ncss, decision, and rapidity in difficult operations.
This gentleman had entered !
the army in 1S13, had passed, of course,
through the grades of .assistant surgeon
and surgeon in various regiments, and.}
had served as such in various quarters of |
the globe. IIis professional ncquirmcnts j
had.procured for him his promotion to the
staff at lire Cape. About 184-0, lie be- j
came .promoted to be medical inspector,
and was transferred to Malta. J le proceeded
from Malta to Corfu, vhcr^be
was quartered for many years, stilbBpnspieuous
for the same pecnlianucs.
When our Government ceded the Ionian
Islands to Grecce.and our troops, of course
quitted the territory, Dr. Barry elected
to leave the army, and take tip his residence
for the rest of his-dnys at Corfu,
lie thcrc.died about amontlfago, and up-'
on his death was found to be a woman! The
motives that qccasioncd and the time
when comracDccd this singular deception
arc both shrouded in mystery. But thus
it stauds an.indubitable fact, that a wo~
man was for forty years an officor in the
British service, and fought, one duel, and
lias sought many more, bad persued a
legitimate medical education, and rcceivcd
a regular diploma, and had acquired a
celebrity for skill as a surgical operator.
A Ladt Captain.?A Cherbourg
correspondent writes:" Besides the yacht6
(English) organized in a division, a great
many others have arrived and have anchored
in the roadstead, opposite the Mer*
cantile port. One of them belongs to a
widow lady, who commands it herself.
She has with her a daughter of eleven, a
son of fourteen, a governess, and three
woman servants. Under her orders she
has twelvosailors, besides an experienced
merchant captain, whom sliev has taken
into her pay, aud who assists her with
liis advice, but docs not command the
ship. The lady is gracious and amiable,
and speaks French correctly. Her vosscl
is iu perfect order. Stie told us that
it would be open to'all visitors during
the fetes; that her captain would receive
the gentlemen and she tHPladics."
1 Postofkice Agent foe North and
; South Carolina.?B. B. Vassall has
becu appointed Agont of the Tostcffiee

South Carolina. Mr. Vassell has been
acting Postmaster at Wilmington since

A General Muster.?By an order
from the War Department, dated 24th
1 August last, we count tbo Dames of 85
Generals, of U. S. Volunteers, who are
' ordered to be mustered out of service,
their services being no longer needed.

the kindness of J. N. G auk well, Esq.,
and Mr. II. M. Stewart.
Volunteer Police Guard.?Gov. 'Perrt
has, with his usual commendable promptitude
authorized the formation ofrolunteercompanies
in eaeli district of the State, "to act under and,
be auxiliary to the military garrison of each,
district in prevcutiug crimes and preserving
the paace of the district." Tiie companies witl
consist of a captain and three lieutenants and
eighty men, scattered over tho district, so as to
be easily accessible from all points where any
disturbance nxiy occur.
This is a most important movement, and we
trust that Kershaw district will at once step
forward, withhor usual alacrity in Volunteering.
Such a force may not just now be needed in all
sections of the district. Wo know that in one
ur uvo cuuuuiih u la liuiueuuuury nuuessbiii^, tmu
doubt not that soon it will be a desideratum at
all points.. Let our middle-aged bnd other
prudent men at once set the example, by enrolling
themselves. Let the gallant youths of
the district now step forward nnd devote themselves
to building up law and order. Let
all portions of the district bo fully represented.
Let the captain be selected from thevresidents
of Camden, whore the headquarters must be,
with a lieutenant from the northern, eastern
aud western portions ol the district, respectively.
Or if more than a sufficient number are
enrolled for one company, they can be divided
into companies adapted to geographical convenience.
A list is open at this office, to which we in:
vite tho immediate attention of all who nro. in
the possession of able bodies and good wills.
The Govrxor's MkssAce.?'W"o wish exceedingly
that we could place this important
document, at length, before our readers, but the
want of space and typo forbid. A condensed
Primary must answer.
Iiis'cxordium is dignified, easy, euphonious
and patriotic, and contains this wholesome advice
which we wish not only every member of
the Convention, but every, man in. the State
wotthl engraft upon his heart nnd infuse into

and grieving over its errors and misfortunes, let
us, with manly fortitude look,to the future and
tvconiniotlafe out selves to the circumstances
which surround us, and which cannot he
dumped or avoided." . .
The t.iovernur compliments President. Jon>"sos
for his "generous and patriotic solicitude"
in bchnlf of re-ostnh'ishinetit. From all the cri,lcncb
\vp have before us, we are disposed to
accede all pniisc*lo President Johnson in this
hehal f. excejit i:i relation to the coprse pursued
by the Frcednien's Bureau in relation to "abandoned
or confiscable lands." -Wo are not yet
satisfied as to the course which his Excellency
may take in this matter: but if 01 tiers, resolutions
and eiificlihcnls made and int. tided for a

lion of peace and un lor amnesty, we exclaim
from ilie bctlom of our heart, "God help {the
oiftise less, homeless refugee." driveu from the
liome of his childhood by shell or bayonet, and
then lo forfeit it as abandoned. This justice
reminds us of .ipnie of Sherman's soldiers, who
nt the residence of some ladies iu this vicinity,
behaved so badly that the ladies wlft remained
ill tbc-ir midst r. whole sleepless, wretched night
of agony to safe thc:ir only heme, were at length
compelled lo leave; and as they left the house,
the wretches applied the torch to it and all it
contained, as <lcsatedproperty.
He bids a not ungraceful farewell to slavery,
and wo lliiuk justlysuggests the duties and responsibilities
devolved upon the members of the
Convention, to promptly make the required
changes in the Constitution. His excellency

wc cannot share. "We never expect to sco them

they multiplied and increased with a rapidity,
proving ttet they were kindly enrod for and
protected."
He rcconfmcnds and sustnius by nrgumcnt
the abolition oftlio Parish System. We agree
with him in this, though we do not approve the
introduction of the ternls "reproach" and in
effect "nursery of rebellion."
lie meets the question of negro suffrage
squarely, and proclaims, as are the Northern
Democracy now doing, that" this is the white
roan's government.
Ho recommends the transfer to the people
'of the election of Presidential Electors, Governor,
and the enlargement of Executive power,
importance, emolument, &c., of the Governor.
Approves "viva voce" voting in the Legislature;
recommends the consolidation at Columbia,
of the two Treasury offices of this State, as
well as the two seats of tho Courts ot' Appeal,
and recommends that the office of Lieut. Governor
be magnified, by making Jiim cx officio
President of the Senate.
He urges tho prompt provision for an eloc
tion of members of iho General Assembly, and
suggests Hie constitutional declaration of the
validity of "all legislative, executive and judicial'acts
of Iho State sinco her secession.'
Tlio Governor gives a very succinct and vcrj
' satisfactory account of his stewardship since
his appointment, and tells us that he was authorized
to levy a tax, by assessment, to defraj
tho expenses o?the Convention. This he verj
wisely declined to do; and we douotnotfo:
even better reasons than lie suggests, if bcttei
could be found, than that spirits could be ealle(
from the vastly deep, but they would'nt come
So lar as we have hitherto known them, wi
have agreed with Gov. TKnux's financial views
but wo dissent lltolo eotlo" from bis proposition
that "the State Banks were all broken, and thci:
bills driven out of circulation." Wo think till
bills of the hank were clutched and dragged ou
t
circulation because they wore so much better
fran:the Confederate Treasury notes, and we
Spot think the banks arc aH'broJren by n good
dep.?bad off as tbe banks are, Jfio wish tlio

JjOie Peroration ie also graceful and patriotic,
airahe governor's prophetic ken beholds visions
ofofory, grandeur, and prosperity, which we
gipi-, we may livertp share with him% Wo don't

i i l i a^t rrii i t.'J rriknnf- _?*.rt*.fv, >'.
his unnecessary fliug at secession, and to potest
11 ost earnestly against the use ol tho 'terra
"50 called Confederacy" This appellation is
true enly in the sense that anrnarae is "so-call'cd,,;
but in,that negative pregnant sense which
is intended to affirm the non-existence of the
matter "so-called," it is absurd. We are posi-'
lively shocked that Gov. Peery should have
borrowed so obnoxious n phrase. He, himself,
was a "so-called Commissioner* of the "so-called
Confederate States;" also, r "so-called
Judge'1 of the "so-called Courts" of the 'socalled
Confederate States," and it would have
been much more appropriate to have
addrc.-scd his message to tho "so-called"
mcnibois of the "so-called" State Convention.
There might have been a point in rhat. Eut to
look upon that Convention, and see these throe
noble generals?Hampton, McGowax and Coxnek,
of that "so- called" government, each of
whom lias given his Hood to tho government;
each of whom has felt crashing through him the
shell, the ball or the sword; each of whom
I lor lour long years befre the licit and burden of
the day, it would bo as reasonable to talk to
than of the "so-called" shells, Italia and swords
?"so-called" wounds and sufferings,- and "socalled"
patriot-sin and sacrifices. We happen
lo know thai th^so ihree noble men are all
friends and admirers of Gov. PKimy, but we feel
as suro that tliey would cucli ono feel as"we do,
that such an expression from the Oouirnor
I ol'South Carclina to the Convention, was onrc.
( lcssljr, if not wantonly olltnsivc. We can onj
dure privation, suffering, poverty, cheerfully
and uncomplainingly. We can even put uj indifferently
with insolence from a boot-black or
other menial^?"to this complexion hnvo we'
corae at last.1' All these things are consecrated
by'the cause in which wo lust all; but offensive
lenns from equals or from those m superior stations.
wriStrfTond while cite dignity of manhood
remains.
Thus ranch we fed constrained to say?our
great regnid and respect for Got. Perry; our
agonizing sympathy with-him in the great work
in which lie isjiooeguy, earncswy ami pmrioti-;
Cftlly engaged, curb and restrain us from lully
expressing our sense of the wrong doni by the
use to such a bed;/ of such a phfase by such a
myji?'the people's friend arid Governor,-andpui?
| some time "so-callled"' brother officer.
The Convention.
The Convention has been in session
j sliTec Wednesday the ]$b inst. We
j have in the Phoenix, the proceedings np
to Monday evening. It is difficult to
give s resume of their doings, as tboy
con^st mostly ofp-ipcr gnns?with which
many members came "arioed -aud
equipped''?in many cases f'not accord
ing to iiiw." Their guns, ail having been
discharged, it may he expected that serious
work, prepared by the workiug men
in commiftes, will engross the time and
thoughts of the thoughtful and. wise men
O ?
of the Convention, who compose a large
proportjou of that most rcspcc'ablc assemblage.
In tho mean time the same
gims having,in Hudibrastic phrase, "kieked
their owners oven" wjll, we trust, be
thrtist into some great corner. The Convention
selected as their President the
lion. D. L. VVardlaw, a most fclicitions
choice, as Judge Wardlaw not only in
presence and boating, in dignity, prompt*
ness and decision, but in knowledge of
law, parliamentary or other, is the peer
of any man. The message of Gov. Perry,
was apptopriatoly referred to the several
committees, and then commenced the
platoons of paper bullets.
Messrs Ingles, Rian,* Ony-Sullivan,
Jp
Beatv, Boiling, Lescsnc,- tMcGownn,
Tilman, Pickens, Mackbeth, Conner,
. Hammond, Winsmith, Perry, et. al. have
introduced "Bills o?Riglits,' 'Restoration,'
i for amendments offfie constitution, ' 'Ordinances,"
&c., many of them but repetitions
of the necessary changes of the
constitution, wheh we hitherto pointed
' out in those columns. Some of' them,
1 however, spread their sails, to "every
r wind of doctrine," and are radical in the
) extreme. Some of the members seem
* disposed to go hack to the rudiments and
build up everything anew, and have laid
r out work enough to keep the Convention
P busy until a time when wc hope the State
\ will be safely moored in the old Union
. Ilidjbor. ^Ye don't say that wo set

, do say that it is the only port for this

L*
B promptly as possible, throwing out such
t cargo as interferes with our riding the
wave; aijd above all things taking on no
more load and reefing sail as close as
possible
Messrs. Lesene and Conner seem both
to bftVe been impressed with some snob
idea, and introduced resolutions' to . re-strict
the action of the-Convention to. the
necessities of the hour, but these resolutions
were laid on the table; so that we
may apprehend thatmore will be done
than was contemplati d in the call of 'the*
Conventfcrp. '

'idea that it was a work of supererogation.
Uuless their vote was based .upon some
"conviction of principle, we wish they could
have yielded, and made it unanimous.
Although the dissenting twelfth man on
the jury may be the only wise one, he

thought that the bare organization of

have a most salutary influence in preserving
