The Columbia Carolinian, of Tuesda; tains a three-column account of " one muit remarkable meetings'' ever couve South Carolina, which was held in tba on Monday, the occasion being a celeb by the colored men of the city of the p: of the Sherraan-Shellabarger Bill, inv them with the right of suflrage and nisiDg their political equality in tho e the law. Th<* Carolinian says : u In anticipation of the event, their mittee of Arrangements selected tho spi fur the occasion, and it is a significan noteworthy fact that, notwithstanding pres2iice in the city of their Northern f aud sympathizers, the gentlemen called to address this assemblage were our ow izjns, who had been identified in person the war-tuen who have boen disfrant bv the same act which lim- created this ?ca! ? quality between the two races, ai men who heartily possess the confideo tile catire community." The speakers on the occasion were W. F. DeSaussure, formerly a Seuator in gress. Hon. Edward Arthur, Hon. \V. ii iev. James G. Gibbes, and Rev. D;ivid ett and Beverly Nash (h uh colored). The Carolinian, reterring to the spe< .-.us : - The sentiments uttered on the occ ire worthy of the tittie, w irthy of our nie, black and white, arid are a living dence of ?hat honor which, thunk God, stirs the com tuon heart The speedie It-v. George Pickett and Beverly Nasii i colored), were mode's of excellence ar, ! ..irving of all praise as emanations of sc-r ; thought fruin a source that should be a? . ciated. Speaking for their race, they tr? in the present condition of ai?.iii* in a < of common sense, which we confess wai anticipated, and which encourages the I I that the relali-?us between the white and oreti men of the Stale are too intimately nected to permit au antagonism or dive of interests now or hereafter." Gen. Wade Hampton made an efle address, which will be published in full, said : 4i Recognizing fully the new obligal imposed upon the colored man as a cit lie advised him as to tho manner in whic should hereafter conduct himself as a n ber of tho community. He alluded not to the necessity of education, but of an i ti ty with the people among whom the n was born and reared, whose interests wei no way diff?rent from bis own, and w policy was to be in the luture as much work of the black mao as of the white, speaker referred likewise to the import: of barmonv in all the relations between two races, as essential in determining the faro of thc peop'e and securing a permai peace and pr<-.>6ycrity." The following is the substance of the sp< made by Beverly Nash (colored) : FELLOW CITIZENS : I have been taken sc whit by surprise and ara not prepared to all that I want to, on this occasion ; bul know what we have come here for. We I { cam? to celebrate the right of su?'rage j one thiug needful to place us on a corni j platform as citizens. The qnestiou has t asked, whether we are prepared for this < dilion of thing* or not? I do not blame people for iheir douhu* on this PuhjeCt, bec: our former condition was calculated to m them doubt ; but whether we are pr?par?e not, we are now entitled to vote, under recent law. I must confess that 1 do not I that law in all respects, because it disfi chises gentlemen in whom we have more ( fidence tban anybody e'.se, and forbids th to represent our country as it should bc presented in the councils of the people, doctrine is, that every man, whether ignor or not. who is compelled to pay taxes, entitled to vote. It is a matter of public | icy that we should be, because there is ai contented element in our midst, compos?e the ignorant people of both classes, wb would be greatly disturbed if they were p vented by a Convention of the State from ercising the right to vote, and we should hi a revolution in a teakettle. For the purp of peace and quiet, therefore, in our S:at< waut to see everybody vote except tbe v men. I believe, my irieods and fellow c Zitis, we are not prepared for this suiTra But we can learn. Give a roan tools, and him commence to use them, and, in time, will learn a trade. So it is with voting. 1 may not understand it at the start, but, time, we shali learn to do our dui}'. It has been said that Calhoun was inns of South Carolina ; Clay the dictator of Ki tucky, and Webster the emperor of Massacl sett?. But hereafter we arc to vote for pr ci pies, not men. And we have good men our midst; men weean trust; men who i our friends, and have proved, by their ar thai they are the friends of the State, these gentlemen we must hav- confide! tint:l tney have proved that they do not c serve it. I do not believe that there is a m .n this district who, if you will reason wi him about these things, will not agree wi what I say. Wc recognize the Southe white man as tho true friend of '.he bia ina i. You see upon that banuer the wor 4 United we stand, divided we fall;" and, you could see the seal of the society whi that .banner represents, you would find t white man and the black man standing wi their arms locked together, as a typo of tl friendship and the union which we desit We feel that the white man has not uudc .-food the black man as the black man has u derstood the white mau ; and if the citizens South Carolina had all acted, after the clo of the war, as these gonllesen have done t day, and spoken their kind tcutiments LU fre ly, our State would not regret the loss twenty thousand colored citizens who lia' gone abroad because they had not sufficie confidence to stay. After the remarks M havo heard tc-day, we believe there is a be ter time conv'ug. Twelve months ago, M Gibbes said : ''Fellow-citizens, we are wilHn to meet you halfway ;" and we are glad tosa that the representatives and public men i Richland district have doi;e so on the preset occasion. We feel that wc are understoc here, and we bciieve that colored men wi hereafter enjoy the rights and privileges whic now belong to their race. Th^re is less pn judico overywhere South of tho Potoma against the colored man than there is Norl of it. [Applause.] I saw in Washington, few days ago, men more violently opposed t our advancement than any gentleman here and we know that" the States of New Hamj shire, Ohio, and perhaps some others, have n i fused that political equality which exists ail j has been accorded in South Carolina. It i our duty, therefore, to identity ourselves witl this soil. Here, we have grown from child hood to manhood. Many of us, white ant black, havo been brought up together ; wi love the people, we respect their honor; wi : know their worth, and 1 acik whether, undi : theso circumstances, having the power to d< I so, we ought not to petition Congress io re ! move the disability which shuts out that por j tion of our people from the elective frnnchist j in whom we have such long tried confidence If we are to have a convention in the Statt for the purpose of changing its constitution let it be a convention full of intellect and power. If the b*ack man is to cast a vote, let him rest that vote upon a standard of abd ?ty, and not be contented to see a body ol men who are not competent to discharge the high dnties that will be required of them. We know the old saying that u(ool? rush in whose ?ag?s ?MT to tread." U, therefore, j you elect ignorant men, you will have a bad I constitution. Give us, then, the good men j of the State. I vould rather trust him who ' took up arms am went to the battle field, and has come home vnth his honorable scars, be lieving in the juiitice of bia cause, than be who skulked from duty, and now claims to ! be a Un.on maD. [Cheers.] Such a one is 1 unworthy the contempt of even a negro. I j would rather traut General Hampton riding ' at the hoad of his column, and shouting to ! bin men to follow, thau cuy man who hus stay I ed at homo and, when his country was in I danger,-hunted foran iron-clad or a rathole. [Cheers.] And so would you. [" that's so/'] We don't believe in those people who, since the war, have dodged around the corners, de claring they wer j 'Union men." [No, no.] Wheu I hear a Southern man say be was a M Union man," I know be is a traitor. When I hear a Northern man say he was a South ern man during he war, I know he is a trai tor. But. when I hear a colored man say he was a Union man, I believo him from my heart. Whenever the telegraph announced a Southern victo;*)', the black mau trembled ; but whenever tho tidings came of a Northern victory we rejoiced, because wo felt that we were that much nearer freedom. To-day, thank God, we enjoy the results of that free dom. We stand before the world invested with a political equality with the white man. We can vote. Hon. Edward Arthur [sotto voice.] You are more tJan our equal, Nash, in one sense, be cause we are disfranchised. Thc Speaker. Yes, sir, and we are not go ing to let the halls of Congress remain silent until you are permitted to vote. It is the men of your class, and your ability, who recognize our wants, aud whom wo desire to see re invested with the power of doiug good. It is with the men of your class with whom we want to vote on the great questions of thc day, and by whom wc wish to bc counseled and directed. It is not our desire to bc a discordant ele ment iu thc community, or to'unite the poor against the rich. We want to live together in harmony-to go to work and restore the lost credit of the State. A? General Hampton ba" said t; our destinies depend upon each other." The white roan has land, the black man has labor, and labor is worth nothing without capital. Wc must help to create llut capital by restoring confidence, and we can only restore confidence by electing proper men to hil our public offices. There are said to be sixty thousand colored j voters and forty thousand white voter? in j South Carolina. Look what a power you j have for good or for evil ! But, fellow-citizens, I be sure you use th.it power willi intelligence, j and to the end thu*t South Carolina, wirti which your interests are nil ideutilied, may I enjoy the prosperity which it gives. When citizens come forward and meet us as gentle? J men have douc to-day, we have no right to doubt thu future. I look upon to day as our lourth* of July. And if we do our duty, vffi j shall prove ourselves worthy of the great privilege with which we have been invested. It is true, the majority of colored men may not be able to vote intelligently, but you will be educated. In the four weeks preceding the first election in this district, you will be taught more abtut voting than thc people ol Ireland or Eng and ever did know. There never was a people who have gained so much as we have dont.'. Lut a little while ago wc were slaves. Now we are treemen. It has been declared that we shall have a voice in public affairs. In these public affairs we must unite with our white fellow-citizen*. They tell us that they have been disfranchised, yet we tell the North that we will never let the halls of Congress bo silent until we remote that disability. Can we afford lo loose from thc councils of .he State our first men ? Can we spare judge* from the bench ? Can we put fools or strangers in their position ? No, fellow-citizens, no! Gloomy would bethal day, indeed. Wc want in charge of our in terests only our best and ablest men. And then, with a 6t^ong puJJ, a long pull and a [ pull altogether, up goes South Carolina, [Cheers). MEETING or COLORED CITIZENS.-Thc Charleston papers contain long reports of the proceedings of a meeting of colored ciii7jns held in the Military Hall building, on Tburs dav evening, and at which H. Judgo Moore presided. The room was filled to overflowing. A platform wai; adopted, after which there was considerable speech-making. One of the speakers, P. L. Cardoza, seconded the resolu tions, and warned the freedmen against the seductions of t?eir former masters:, who now pretended to be their friends." He said thut the right of suffrage was only given to them temporarily, and if they did not use it wisely, their Northern friends, thc radicals, would take it away ns suddenly as they had given it. -?.-*-? THE COLUMBIA MEETING.-Thc New York Times, of Tuesday, in its comments on the meeting held in'Columbia on Monday last says: It seems strange to read that, among the speakers who caine to applaud and encourage these negroes, were Gen. Wade Hampton, Hon. William F. PeSamsure, formerly United States Seuatcr, Hon. Wm. Talley, Edward Arthur and James Gibbes, all eminent leading men of thc State. Two colored men of note also made addresses, and tho whole spirit cf the meeting is represented to have been of th? most cordial good feeling. Such a fact, goes a great way to explode the studious mis representations of Southern feeling, sent up or invented here by extremists. That, in the heart of South Carolina-a State in which thc blacks are largely in the majority-one of the foremost of the Confederate Generals, and himself once the large? slaveholder in the country, should meet his former chattels in this frank and manly style, and so unreser vedly accept thc situation, is a fact to out weigh volumes of hostile invective and mis representation. MARYLAND.-It -oems that an attempt is to be made to reconstruct Maryland, aud she may be known ere long as District No. G. Mr. Thomas, one of the Representatives from Maryland, is leading the ba!!, and on Monday he introduoed thc following significant reso lution, which was passed without debate ; Resol ced, That the testimony taken by the Judiciary Committee of the last House of Representative*, in pursuance of instructions of that House, concerning, to some extent, public affairs in Maryland, and now in custo dy of the Cletk of the 'House, bo committed to the Committee the Judiciary, with in structions to complete the inquiries which the last committee AUS instructed to make, and to inquire whethe* thc people of Maryland have a State Government republican in form, and such as Congre33 can, consistently with the requirements o^" the Constitution of the Uni ted States, recognize and guarantee. A MILITARY MASSACRE IN MEXICO.-One of the mast terrible tragedies connected with the wars of mo lern tiroes, has just transpired in Mexico. B5 order of Escobedo, who signs himself gcneral-in-cbief of the army of the Republic of Mexico, ono hundred and twenty three prisoners were brutally murdered in cold blood. The Ranchero, a Mexican journal, says : The order was executed on the 3d inst., at 7 o'clock in the evening; br, rather thc exe cution of one hundred and twenty-three pris oners was finished at that hour. One by one the prisoners were ?hot, and each bloody body was left as it fell for the next victim in order to look upoD. Wo are informed that but few of the doomed victims faltered ; and when marched out for execution most of them sang the Mursellaise hymn. We have been prom ised the full particulars of this awful massacre, and when received they will be laid before the public iu order to complete the black und damning record. After the execution at San Jacinto, Gen. Escobedo ordered a ball at San Luis Potosi, in honor of the victory achieved over Mi ra mon. It was to have been the grandest af fair ever gotten np in that city. One hundred and fifty ladies were invited, who were of course the <; ton of the town." Whpn the hour carno to . ommence the dance, the he roes of the San Jacinto massacre found that but fifteen ladies had responded to tho invita tion. And no more than fifteen of those in vited did a tend that night. From this it may be determined what tho women of Mexico think of the murderers of those French and Gorman prisoners. 1 ,.. - . -' ."..-. . THE ADVERTISER JAMES T. BACON, EDITOR.

On Sunday afternoon last, our village was the scene of a fierce and irrepressible conflict The holy day makes tho deed appear more unholy ! Four or live soldiers of tho Federal garrison be came "bifurcated with hot shots from a blue-ruin decanter," and very wantonly disturbed the peace of a colorid family. Theso sn!diers, we'under stitnd, arc of Ceilidh origin. Their feet wore at one time on their attire bog. They have a na tional antipathy to reptiles and swc;ir by St. Pat rick. They arc devotedly attuched to potatoes and have an abiding faith in good whiskey. By Some mcaus, as wo have already insinuated, these raid Celtish gentlemen ?in 1 a quantity of the said good whiskey got inside of each other : and straightway the Celts were upon the war-path. As they wended their devious way along our Main Street, they chanced to approach the resi dence nf an American citizen of African descent -Phil Hill-a good, honest, well meaning fellow. Phil was u-jt at home ; he wa.? " up town ;" per haps pondering, in pensive mood, thc long-stand ing but now thoroughly-avenged wrongs of his nation. Tho Celts entered his domicile forcibly, und spread terror and dismay among tho females of his family. Mrs. Phil crept forth and surrep titiously despatched a messenger for Phil. The KOtutorcd African rushed to thc rescue, and ex cited to frenzy by thc baso aggressions of the Celts, pitched in upon the latter with most valor ous vim. It being Sunday, Phil's friends were lying round loose. They flew to arms. More Celts arrived upon tho field of glory. 'Tis im possible to describe the scene ! A combat ensued that promised a very serious termination. Thc result had like to have been the same as in the fight of the Kilkenny Cuts. If seemed probable for some time that nothing would be left but a few mangled remains for the coroner to hold an inquest upon. But the Africans triumphed gloriously. One Celt was cut ; another was shot, though not killed ; while another waa brought to the ground by an unerring brick from thc vengeful hands of 'irs. Phil. Thc Commandant of thc Post arrived upon the scene, and speedily dispersed the combatants. Phil was arrested and carried to headquarters, but up3n representations of his good character being made to the Coinmnndunt, and sufficient surety given of his appearance when the matfcrj should be in mitigated, ho was released. A.fi|K.^ thc focmen whom Phil tho..a?>? <?> ?S> steol, we imagine they have had time, in the guard-house, to get thoroughly 6ober, and to re flect maturely upon tho nature and results of '' ir repressible conflicts" in general.

"When this registration takes placo, of courso every man not disfranchised should register promptly. The commonest senso of self preser vation should urge him todo this. And why? Because thcro are ignorant men in the South, there aro fulso men, there ero desigaing men, therj are treacherous man; and to sit quietly and let matters drift into tho hands of any such would be stupidly reckless. In tho meantime, Genl. Sickles, our Military Commander, has arrived in Charleston from Wash ington; as yet, however, his Official Orders upon taking command of thc two Carolinas, has not been made public. It is announced in advance by tho Charleston papors that the civil government of South Caroli na, if administered with energy and impartiality, will not bc interfered with. Do not linn Crazy Over Cotton. The subjoined article is from the Columbia Phoenix. Wo admire and endorso it; and, as exhorted by the Phoenix, endenvor to keep tho subject before our planters and farmers : "Why should the planters of tho South raise colton, with a population starving around them, to supply tho factories of New England or foreign markets? The Government tax is heavy-about one-lifth of the former price of the staple; tho proceed.? must he .?pent to buy bread andment from 'he West, and much of thc money received is spent on tho productions of tho looms of New England, enhanced, us their real value is, by high bounty tariffs and unjustifiable profits. . " Surely our people will ?co tho folly of this suicidal policy of keeping tho mills of Lowe'll running full time, when thousands at home are lacking bread. If the South did not Hipply the cotton, that racns'cr monopoly of cotton manu factures in New England, scoured and fostered hy unjust legislation against every other sec*ion of the country, would be stricken down. We would get chc:.;-er goods from England and elsewhere, whilo we would bo laying thc foundations of home tnanufaeturics throughout the whole South. These matters should bo carefully considered, and thc dictates of common sense, prudence and patriot ism prevail over old habits and prejudice''. Let cotton slide for one year at least, as a production for export, and we have littlo doubt hut thc result will pruve so clearly that thc wants and interest* of. our section hare been vastly benefited, and that a new policy will be inaugurated iu the ag ricultural of the Gul;' States of the South. '.But, besides {he necessity of such a change ?n general principles at this time, and the peculiar circumstances ki which the people of the South arc politically placed, lhere is still the greater incentive-the higher duty-to raise bread for the people. Another year of want and suffering will almost decimate the Southern population, and they will only have to emigrate to moru favored sections of thu country, or-starve. We trust that th'.- matter will be continually kept just now befor; j ur planters and farmers by our con temporaries of the prest in every State, county and dirtriet in tho South, so that if thu diro re sults '/.hich must follow the edd system should come upsn us, the press will be clear of any blame in thc promises." The general estimate of last year's cotton crop was, we believe, abojit a million and a half bales. If the South had inado but half this, asd had consumed half of that in her own factories, she would be moro appreciated than she now is. Things are ripening, and if thc South may but ici/7 it, her situation financially and politically, may yet bo endured. For montha past, the presj of the South has urgently advised our planters not tu ropcai thc unwiso experiment of the pa.-t year. And we too must entreat them, fur their own sskes and for the sake of their outraged sec lion, to plant but half the cotton thiz year they ?, planted last. Wo say to them, again, that If \bry fnmv tntl n-Urtlt IIIIHIOM UllieS"tlin?C WT!1 br'tug tiltm" as much money as a million, because they will get double price for it. Then their plain path of duty is first to plant as much land in corn, wheat, oats, potatoes, onions, and other articles of food as will last them for two years. Get one year aheaii leithfood. Have grasses and fruits and vegota bles in abundance. The man who hui an abun dance of grain and Iny and oats, need never buy meat from the Northwest. Having these products, he will, as surely as tho sun mes und .?et?, have hogs, cattle, horsos, mules, sheep and poultry. We buy and consume vast quantit?s of food which comes altigelher from tho North and North west. Much of this-very much of it-our peo ple might themselves produce. Tho South has been dependent long enough. Our people should seo tin; and wake np. There sliould bo a general resolve throughout the South, to raiso this year, and forever in future, all the food necessary for our people To this end, it is evident thr.t more extensive grain crops must bo plumed than ever before. Let the Southern people do this ami w( are safe. Wc can then defy the nuilee of all Radicablom. Wo have thc soil and the climate. Let us make uso of th? tn as sensible men. Let us Brat/rid ourselves abundantly, and drive away want from every .'loor. Let that bo our jirxt duty. Then let thc balance of our labor be given to raifing a moderate cotton crop. Wc need many things which we can not supply from our own region. Lot us raise cotton enough to purchase such necessaries as wc must have and cannot ourselves produce-such as s'ugar, coffoo, ten, woolens, Ac , Ac. Let us also buy machinery to spin mid weave our cotton. A small crop will thus pay us more than a large ono. And we shall set Sumner and stevens, and Spraguc, the Rhode friand Calico Factory Senator, to thinking. Without cotton this TJr.ion becomes a third rate power. Commerce has made it what it is ; and cotton has fed com merce. Nothing has so filled its sails as the white lint gathered from thc fields of thc South. Cotton is a political as well as u financial lever. Let us usc it as statesmen. Plant a full, very full crop of grains and mots, and sow an abundunco of grass seeds. Raise cattle, and hogs, and sheep, and horses, and mules. Work for .your homes and your own people this year; but plant not near so much colton. 'Twill bring New England to her senses, nnd win for ns justice. ?5r-SnAKsrr.AnE SAW, "THROW PHYSIC TO THE Doos."-This will do very well when you ure not sick, but when you are, it is well to know where genuine physic cnn bo had ; we therefore remind onr friends that Messrs.

On Saturday, tho 23d, tho President returned the Supplemental 13ill with his ol jcc:ions. The Bill pr?vidos foran election in ten Slates for the purpose of making constitutions; but all clec .tions, whilo tho original hill remains in force, come within its restrictions. Preliminary to elec tions, comes registration. 1'nrcgistered citizens caunot vote. Tho preliminary to. registration is a vague oath, that tho applicant, is net disfran chised hy participation in thc rebellion; which rci|uires that the applicant fer rcgiM ration must docMe for himself. T!<ero i< a fearful re*|iunnt bility, for though the hill doug not assign perjury, nor fix a penalty for mistaken swearing, he must not forget that marshal law prevails, and that tho applicant.is responsible to tho Military Com missions, without previous presentment hy grand jurie?, thc military commanders dett-rnining what is an ofTcnca and prescrihing thc punishment. Tho fourth section provides that t'jo military commander .'hall appoint thc necessary Boards of Registration, onch consisting of thrco loyal persons who may he military officers or citizens of the State, or stronger?, exercising important functions and vested with unlimited discretion. They decide questions and make returns. What ever error or frauds they commit pass unques tioned. By such measures aro conventions of. delcgntcs to bc constituted. These dolegates are to speak for tho people; common justice requires that they should havo authority from tho people. No convention to constituted will, it: any senso, represent the wishes of tho people, for under all thc embarrassing exceptions and uncertainty which disfranchisement cause?, it leaves out the great-body of tho people who may ho excluded from the polls. I do not deem it necessary to in vestigate farther the details of the Bi .I. No con sideration could induco him (thc President) to approve such nn election law for a:iy purpose, especially for thc purposo of forming a Constitu tion for a State. The President argues thc ques tion at some length, illustrating that the forma tion of Republican Governments, according to Congressional idea?, may as well commence in Ohio or Pennsylvania ns North Carolina. The President conclude? : I confidently believe that tho time will come when these States will again occupy their truo positions ir. the Union. The harriers which now seem ?o obstinate must yield to thc force of eulightenel and just public opinion sooner or later: unconstitutional and oppressive legislation will becfi'ared from the statute books when this shall have bcon consum mated.

Immediately aft-:r thc reading of the President'. objections, the .Supplemental Bill wu? passed in thc House, thc veto notwithstanding, by a veto of one hundred and fourteen to twenty-five.

It seems however that the black and brown heads must not undertake thu " Comet." Thc red and (luxen heads have thc advantage; for fashion permits them either to flameas " Comets" or surgeas " O vet flows." Now, as for our part, we like the "Overflow" scheme. Y.-ry thin hair, if you "give-it a thorough frizzle an 1 let it fly," will make a beautiful " Overflow ;" whilo very thick hair, when so treat>d, will make a deluge equal t that which has taken place late ly in Tennessee.
