JL'he colored \ H' man is the ruling power in the Stale, j ..viand the consciousness of this power is j beginning to assert itself. To him the| ill ltepubliean parly is indebted for its, c- ascendancy in tlic State; and why should his be made a cats-paw t<> ailin vance the selfish pui-poses of others? w a mere ' hewer of wood and drawer K' J of v?'at ?;: *'?whilst others enjoy all the powers of legislation and emoluments *c ! of ofliee ? This is the question which n*| the leading colored men are asking u 1 1 henn elves, and which they arc beginjning to proclaim from the house-tops, j jitllio qucsti'ui whirh thc Missionary ^ ! Record is ringing in the ears of the.1 j rank and file of t he grand army. How \ I(loos the R-yihlicnn meet the issue??, ^ j By deprecating an}* contest upon the; js narrow basis of color and race.

We de\ **ire it to bo distinctly understood, by 1 c i I hem, t*hai, colored men. being citizens e of this country, and having fairly won that honor by their valor on the field j.. of battle, and by their lidelity to the . national honor, in the time of need; s- do now intend to assert t^at liberty, }' and claim those rights, which arc as ^ 4 r\ O a Oliir Al li Ai> /.loea r\ . | uivn* tv i uo in?J vbiJOl V* It j " -men.

Whether or nut this resolves' i itself into a question of color or race, J 1 jit seems to be nothing but what is .just i jp jand equitable, that that race, -which i i*e by the aid of tho Republican party, has been admitted to all the privileges jj. <^f sovereignty?the light to elect their a i. lera?should themselves, if tltey so id! desire, l>e vested with the honors and u' emoluments of oflice?that is, if they ^' be competent. And is it to be supposod, that among the eight}' thousand colored men, who are the sovereigns j ?vosted with tho full powers of the )?r ballot box?suitable men cannot be of found to fill the oftk-es of the State? be Of this we may be very sure, that I to if the requisite qualifications for ofticc *s be not found in the colored men of the Republican party, these will not be Iu supplied by the other element. It is reasonable that it should bo eo. The l(j_ colored leaders arc the best rcprcscu>o tatives oft^eir race, both Ln character er and intelligence, and they have proved themselves for tho most part, -both N. honest and capable.

Mr. B. graduated with disUnction, and has proved himself an accomplished scholar, and most successful teacher.

Lr.K, Ksq.-?jl/y Dear Sir: Vour very sympathising notice of the destruction of our dear church, and Llio prompt and generous subscription towards the erection of a new n>nc.by our frionds, both hero and at Abbeville, touched my heart, and nothing but a dislike to intruding my self upon the public has kept mc Unlet hitherto; but circumstance* have determined mc to address you this communication, and I beg a plaec for it in your paper. Various have been the surmises a? Lo iho causes of l*iO destruction of this church?one ascribing it to political another to (Jonoininational prejudice for lieithor of which thcive is tlx >lighte?t Inundation. 15ut while ni} hoM'L was warmed hy hearing tha the minister of tho church nearest u: prayed ' that (iod would raise uj means to rebuild this church X wa (old by a friend that another had Bait iti his ?or*non "that the burning of : ehurch was a proof ihnt that cliurcl was not doing (iod's work." It grieved me to hear this, and it only prove how prone we all are to pass judg 'mcnt upon our fellow men and thei works, more harshly than God him self doc#. I trust he is mistaken, am 1 write this to ask of my fellow c-iti /.ens to iiuuso "before thev accent thi judgment, and to enquire of thos who live near by what our course hn been. While we claim the right t hold the opinions set forth in ou "Ugo'k Gf Common Prayer/' and t worship God, as there prescribed?w have never claimed the right t abuse others?wo liavo ever liel "that tho law of charity is bindin upon all," and havo said rcpcatcdh 'that the only competition betweci Christians should be, as to which shoul love God ihc most" Wo have tried t be kind and atloi.tivo to all who woi shipped with us, and have neve even sot forth the pcculiur claims o the Protestant Episcopal Church, ex cept when she was assailed by auoth er. There aro surely lost shee] enough around for us to hunt up am un ng uacic to tuo lioort Whepher<l without interfering with others. I any are attracted nnd como to ut is it our fault? Wc aro calling upo all to help us, and surely in these dar days of our dear country's historj bearing in mind, t:that God is King, and that it is lie who ruleth th hosts of men," wc cannot spare single, church, where two or tbre i may assemble to offer him their praj | era and praises, and doprocato Hi i wrath. Thank God, the prcjudic which once existed towards our den church, is passing away wherever sh is known; and thinking men see ths she, who could train and educate sue a man as "Washington, and such me as Jeff. Davis, and 1?. 1*1 Loo, and Poll and Johnson, and Hampton, and Kc: sbaw, and Elliott, and a host of other must be a tender and efficient mothc a true branch of Christ's church !!
