Amicable interview Between Ueneial I

Majnr Geuerul Gtllmoce n?ii Staff, -.ho ac- j

turned yesterday evening hy the Nortkeas

Kail Road cars at Florence, S. C , for Wil
raingtor.. eu t onie on his return North.
The party, on leaving here last Friday, look

standing the delay in the examination of ail
lite military posts 0:1 tho route, including
Darlington Sumter and Florene-', reached
Co'Uuibu Sunday, wh-r<5.they were in?t by
His Excellency, Governor Perry. A very
pleasant and salisfketiury interview took
place, rcsul iug in an agreement; and the par
tial restoration ol civil power through the en
tire Sts'e, by th?* full and compi to establish
ment ot tue civil O^uns tor thc trial of all
casm except those of frcadmeu and persons
of color. In ;dl ca?es of t bo latter, u:.d when;
the testimony ol'colored persons ts necessary,
the Provost Marshal Courts ore, fur tho pres
ent, ti. have exclusive cognizance and adjudi
cation.
AH cases between white'persons aro to be
h'ard ano adjudicated by the State Court?,
Municipal Authorities or Civil Officers, un kr
ami i'-i-?irdi:?i? to the laws of the State. The
Civil Courts ara to be opened under thc ?rec
tn-., i u - bxcellency the Governor, and the
Civil and Municipal Officers are to bc per
mitted to resume toi ir ollioial duties and dis
charge them-without interruption.
Dur:' g thu interview, Gov. Perry spoke in
warm t crnis Of commendation of tire action
atid proceedings *of the Courts kiely estab
lished, hv order of General Gilimore. General
Meade expressed hihiscll well pleased with
the condition of affairs in S .ntli Carolina,
stating that every thing was working to his
entire satisfaction, and it would be his pleas
ing duty to report the fact to the Detriment
at Washington.
With tho result ef the interview our citi
./ens have every cause Tor congatulation. AJj
though civil power is not yet fully restored,
martial law ami the suspension of the writ of
Habeas Corpus f-till remaining, it is evident
that the Government ia anxioni to complete
the work of restoration as rapidly a> possible.

The Restoration of Houses and Lands.
Hy reference to thc published order of T.
C. Callicot, Supervising Special Agent, it
will be seen that all applications for the re
storation of lands and houses now held as
.. captured or abandoned properly," are .to
bc mad'* to General Howard, the. Chief of the
?reedmeu':-- Burean, a? Washington. .W^are
gratified at this ?nnotiuccmotit, as showing a
disposition on the part of tho Government to
put things ia a collrae of justice, and to this
eud establishing in thc Bureau a judicial
authority which may be invoked in behalf of
the citizen. It is well known that by much
the largest proportion of th3 property, real
and personal, now ia possession of the agents
oftheFrecdme 's Bureau, though vacant at
the time of seizure, was not " abandoned
property" ira the.sense of the Acts of Con
gress rela ing to the subject. But this in
discriminate s? izure, when once m-ide and
rec rd? in thv registry of thc Department,
passed beyond the control of subordinate
a^ouix, wno were invented with no judicial
power to try claims relative to the property
in their custody. Hence our citizens, very
many of them, have for many months been
suffering under a privat ion of property not in
accordance with a correct construction of the
law, and yet having no redress for the want
of some tribunal ?aviug authority to inquire
into and adjudge their ciaiiu*. We are glad
to ace*that this great grievance is to bo rc
dressed. Genend Howard, the hoad of the
Bureau, is now reidy to receive all applica
- tious for a release of property from those who
are advised that they are not within fha
meaning of the luw. We aro pleaded also to
learn tr<5tn ibo law uoiicc of J. W. Wilkin
son, E^q., published in our columns to-day,
that prompt arrangements hhV-tbeen made
. to facilitate, by hi3 residence at Washington,
applications for thc restoration ol' property.
By prompt attention lo tie means now open
forrest or ng themselves to their full and com
plete pghts of p:op:riv, it is to be hoped that
oar citizens will in a short whilo become once
moro tm owners instead of the Ic-ses of their
homesteads.-Charleston Cornier, 5th inst.

Gen. Gilmore returned to the city ye-tor
day, from a visit to Conimbia, where he met
Gov. Perry, with whom, we understand, he
hada very pleasant and agreeable inter
view.
We learn that by an-arrangement between
them 'lie chief civil officers of-the State will
resume their'several duties, and that tho city
. aifvr* v. ill bc placed in charge ol the Mayor
and Alderinen of the'city, and that thc or

We. ais-? undcrstind that, thc operations of
the Freedmen s Bureau have been suspended
. bv order of Gen. Meade, and a reference
ot the i&me modo to the President cf the

We congratula:rt our citizens upon this
statement, and anticipate already tho fulfil

The chief cuu*e was, undoubtedly, thc licen
tious habits cf tho negroes ; this- licentiousness
operating us an immediate-* check on population
by rendering thc feuinleE IJTJS prolific. Now that
thc negroes are frect thc ofteck on tho r ?aerease
arising from their licentiousness-which has herc
tolbrc existed, will bo reinforced ty thc pruden
tial check spoken of abOTC-doubt of their ability
to ?npport a family. Tho preference given by
the employer? of labor to thc mere energetic and
capable white races, trill keep thc negro popula
tion constantly pressing upeiu thc means of sub
?isteoco ; and this, tbs greatest and most certain
pf all chocks to population, 'trill begin ut euee tn

causes ?hieb opern'o in old countries, tho fcublo. t
will fall first; and'thc decaying remnant then left
of 'thc negroes wiU easily suscumb.
What wo have d"scribed briefly. for tho subject
is darkling and unpleasant, would uko place
even if emancipation had bceu gradual, and pre
paredrfor by wise precautions. But its sudden
ness, and tho gcucral destitution prevailing in tho
South at tho time it takes place, will terribly ag
gravate its evils and accelerate the ?teps by whii-h
thc negroes aro doomed to extinction. Perhaps
one-third of the emancipated ure children, inca
pable, undor any circumstances, ?f tabing eire of
themselves. Thrown loose, without protector?,
in the very crisis of a destitution, s mounting in
largo sections to actual dearth, they will be swept
away by scores of .thousands ; their parent*, in
uuay cases, perishing wUhtbem. This wwrk of
destruction is already proceeding with great ra
pidity. Tho derangement of Southern industry
ix ao great that fearfully little ?ill l>o raised ibia
year; and tho next year will also be a year ol
great scarcity ia the south. Jl people, above n'l
o'hers unfitted to strugglo wiih ditEcukie.-, com
mence their lifo of freedom ia a state of absolute
beggury, and in a community which bus wasted
all its resources in along war. A more unfavorable
combination of circumstances cu snot be imagined.
The figures of tho next census may, therefore, be
expected to tell a fearful "tal a of extermination.
But even wor*c evils {fa worsu bo possible)
seems te bo ia store for this doomod race. "The
?iistory .ofLIb?u?p^atp'jjn^atJ^? -the- Li-t-two or
ihres centuries, exhibits fr^quent\ vi si ut tier.* of
tcrriblo and wasting- forms of disease a id ^??ti

universally agree in accounting fur ihe frequent
| visitation of those scourges ia farmer tim-s, by.
J the faet that f.-.mines \itro moro Tcqucnt in early
j periods, when industry was les" productive. A
prolonged dearth so debilitates tho constitution
of people who have subsisted ou insuQcient or
unwholesome food, that they fail an c.-.-y prey t?
pestiienro. Considering tho scarcity that prevails,
cod wib prevail, in tho South, arid that iu pres
sure will fall mainly on tho blacks, it wilt not be
surprhiug if tho South is ?wept by seme terrible
epidemic before which the negroes will lui I, like
grass before the mower's scythe.
Thc blind and fanatical denmgogues too of thc
North, who are attempting ?o turn thc negro tu
still further poll deal accou:.r, aro preparing for
him a d-iiig?r nf still itnoibor character. Sudd n

If wc were in a condition to struggle manful!;

-if the sword had not beca sheathed, to reel ii
its scabburd forever, then I could appreciate th
argument, that wo should ?ll remain herc, t

in arms, and the fires nf courage and patriotisi!

But the Confoderaey tas bowed her neck to th

j manage us according to ber otra policy, without
. heeding the wildest shrieks of our demagogues,
I or, as we may suppute, thc loftiest appeals al

! f ricg with tho gr<:at inajori'y of tho American
peuple, on principles of government, whif-h wu
deemed vitul io our liberties, and dillcring also,
tu reference to the emancipation of our stave.*,
we waged a war. in which wa staked our property,
our lived, and tho blood of cur sons, profusely
p.->hroil out, on ten thousand fields of slaughter.
Tho Gods averted their faces from our struggling
banner, and victory perched upon the standards

Moreover, according to thc usugo of nations, wc
have forfeit, d, at least for a time, ?ill pretensions
to tho right cf self-government. What is it then,
that enchains us to tbeso barron rocks and deso
?alo bibs ? And what would avail our puny exer

au J lost it, wc hare been completely shackled, and
reudcrcd politically death and, porbaps, physical
