EDITOR :-As I jun no candidat any office, I am afraid, that by those disc tb be hypocritical, ray obtruding myself public notice may be attributed to .pen vanity; but I console myself in this rei with the idea that I believe it to be the of every good citizen, when a suitable ( sion ?fters,.in times of great public cal?t especially when all leadership isdethrc as it now is, to contribute their nrteptow originating, or confirming a policy for general welfare? and I deem this a pr? occasion' for myself, particularly as 11 reason to Relieve that some of my frienq least misapprehended my true, position consequence of words spoken by me sale in April last, at the lime of the ioroiatio the Edgefield.Democratic Club, and the n ioation of candidates for the Legislature other offices. I deem it due -to them to myself right on tke- record, and farthermi as a citizen who has ever faithfully discbat* his duties as such, and having at one t been before the public, I claim the righi place myself, as I really stand. On the occasion alluded to, a Democri Club was formed with a view to cc-oper with the Democratic party of the. North, we bad bees invited by the representations that party to do. To this I gave my asse But when the proposition came" up in a st sequent meetiug, held immediately after I idjuurntuont of the Democratic meeting, nominate Candidates for the various Sti iud. District offices, I couuselied against su nomination on the grounds that, fir*t, we h no time to organize, there beiDg bat sei Jays before the election, and furthermo is a te^t vote was to be taken at thc san lime upon the adoption of the Radical Co ititution, I did not consider, judgirg from t experience of other States, thai it won iiake any difference how the Democrats Conservatives voted,-tue Constitution wou be accepted by Congress at all bazar?^"Ei we would have the mortification of havii intered into a bootless contest, and our pc ?le become mire or less demoralized in co .eq?euce. I therefore thought it more ad\ ?able to reserve our fire until the Prcsidenti election in November, wheu we would prob; Ay be able, with the help of the Democra S?rth, to strike down tfce great Head Cent >f all our woes, and the whole machine] ?eated upon this base would tumble to tl ;round. But others thought differently, nc .?ailing for immediate actiou, the caudidatt vere accordingly nominated ; and I not bein rilling-to see my friends enter a coutest, hen vat>unpromising it-appeared to nie, -witbou leii'g what 1 could tonsi>ist>tkem,6ubsequeni f with fihcerfuloessr rendered what--aid ould. I'say I did it with cheerfuluess, bu t was th? kind of cheerfulness with whicl proud aud concicntioiis man would do wba ie deemed to be bin duty, for I confess thu ny heart was more, deeply Maddened by tb ,et, Jori felt that the. proud aud puce glori (US' South Carolina was compromising hcrsel a the compliance. . For what is life wortl lithout victory or death ? This languag* nay seem harsh and recriminating," but '. mow that the surviving sons of true Caroli ia will forgive me when I tell them that. vrite it with tears in my eyes and hear jroken for the past. South Carolina is not my native home, bu ike ja the home of my affections, of all tba bat is nearp.st and dearest to me on earth he home of my choice, and the home upor vhicb I ba*ed all my temporal and eterna lopes ; and to see her sons and daughters in he situation in which they are in now, paral zed, trampled upon, by an inglorious foe. ii nore than heart can bear without giving ut terarce to my feelings. It is true, ITiave never bad an opportunity jf fighting her battles in the front rauk ic ike field, although* in service during the wai ? but it was not because I bad not tue desire but because, on account of my profession, my itiends assigned to me the more arduous, but not less truly glorious task of a moral con flict, and my pride not permitting me to see!. tor position, as others did, fearing that my influence was not great enough to obtain it, I listened to their syren voice. But surely "He who for bis mistreat' sake, Lays down hts li'e and limbs at s luke, Hoes not to much dej-ervc her favor, As be who pa WT. s hid soul to have her.'' Beared in the political school of St\te Sovereignly, and drawing my inspiration for the last thirty-five years from that purest of political touut&ius in America-the South Carolina school of politics-led by such men m Harper, Calhoun, McDuflje, Hayne, Rhett, and a host of other worthies, together with our own Pickens, who. though now lying in retirement and disfranchised though he be, is fO*. covered ail 0V8r with honorable scars ob erne* 1? a faithful anti lifelong coL?ict for Southern rights ; and last, though not least, that brillidtjt and ever progre:sive genius whose truthful history few can write, and whose heart during the whole of bis career, was as true to the interest of South Carolina aud the South, as the Needle to the Pole, James H. Hammond ;-it is not surprising that I should h&ee baen a warm advocate of Secession, nud a consistent, persevering aud hopeful adherent to thc Cause, djuring the war ; or regret to see the gallantry and hero ism displayed in the field by such men as o.ur Bpnhani, Butler, Gary, John Simkins, Hamp den Brooke, Bland, Addison, and others of doubtless equal worth, and whose names do not now occur to me. Captained by that gal lant soldier and Christian gentleman-Wade Hampton-the admirable Cbrichteu of South Carolina,-provjehtirely fruitless; and receiv ing too additional inspiration from our noble women, who, thoroughly imbued with tbs cause of their country, and surpassing even, if possible, in spirit their mare relatives ; and believing, after the perfidiousness of the ene my ia refusing, to comply, with the terms of gurrender, that, to bo consistent with her principes, jtbe South should have refused to co operate in ?he least in fastening the bossu and unjust terms imposed upon us; and act ing upon this principle, I refused even to register as a voter ; and thought then, aa I do now, that this would have been the proper course ihr her to pursue. It is not- strange thea with such a schooling and "with such convictions, thal I should hate advised against entering into apolitical cou test with such a foe, and wherein we were made particeps criminis in carrying out measures concocted in direct violation'of the . Constitution, which wa fought to preserve in its original integrity; and especially--with such odds in the way of-party machinery against us as in this conflict. But the whole peop??-of the"South did not act with this im pression, and, under the leadership'of wiser heads, than mine, have become so much en tangled, in the Radical Reconstruction policy that our only chance of .restoring the Consti tution to ita original supremacy, and to being order out of chaos, seems to be, either to unite' with the Democrats at the North in the cora-,| ing Presidential Campaign, or. remain passive loo' on in the great farcical drama now ' enacted in this country by a party ela-j va _d suddenly and unexpectedly to power, who, crazed by tho dizzy height to which' they have attained, and urged on by hatred I and revenge, must surely be destroyed 'by I their own madness. The former policy appears to have baen adopted, and Delegates have been appointed from the South to the Nominating Conven tion to beheld in New York on the 4th of/J Jule. I trust that they are men of. wisdom, firmness and decidion, representing the ir tic South, which "in my humbie opinion is une quivocally opposed to Negro Suffrage ;'-and, if her sentiments were outspoken, would be let the laws for the. protection of life and property be, made to bear equally upon all, both black and white ; let the negro enjoy the fruits of his-labor, not only unmolested, but protected, under his own vine and-fig . tree ; bat do not clothe him with that ' highest of | all the privileges of citizenship, Suffrage. The South should bo satisfied with compro mises for all time to come. Let us reject theru hence forward, and especially that mod ern monstrocity-Scallawngism. If such a platform is not adopted at that Conventior as accords with thc judgment of our Dele gat?s, let them withdraw, and leave the result to God. ' Tho revolution in which wc are in volved must do its work, and we must mould it to our advantage as ranch as we can, IIow to act, is only a-question of policy. Bid aboce all iliinys, Itt m le united in whatever we do. What our future is to be, Ile who rules the Universe' only knows-; cot jecture, however, ie not icidmiPsible. Il the Dimoerats should succeed in th?.Coming'election, I fear that the change f'roiri.the present policy of the Govern ment will- jiot be 'as striking as many of us suppose. The j&ct that such scenes have been enacted b? tile country has witnessed of late, by the party in power at thc seat of Gnv brnment, without exciting mere decided and ?ffeclive opposition 'ihUl-hl? bccn^nffrJrrfctfr| is of itself suliicicnt. proof cl the general de moralization in the country. If, on theotber uand, the Radicals succeed in the coming elec Lion, and their policy is maintained, for tncitber four years, the itsult will most prob ably be either that the mond influenco of the white man, when the Southern States are re tored to the Union, and outside influences, juch as the military and thc Freedman's Bu reau removed, will be so great as lo overawe mid keep within check ike negro party ; or the present form of Government will be over thrown, and a -consolidated- government in name, as in fact, will be established instead. I confess that I have myself no fears or a war of races, so much talked of, if the white man is true lo Iiis interests and nature. Our negroes have bean too long domiciled with us, and their rotation* with their old masters have been too close and too - kindly, and. they are too intelligent not to see that their true inter* cst is to remain quiet, and to make the best of their condition whatever it may be. All that we have to do is to treat them with sim ple justice, ia order to acquire our legitimate control over them.. The on ly tiling, therefore, that appears at all certain in the future is the realization of the assertion, originating several years ago at the North, th&t " this is a white man's Gov ment, and a white man's ooaatry." Respectfully, yours, II. R. COOK. JJ?? Ou a rainy winter evening a gentle man traveling iu a hack found, on nearing his destination, ttiat he had no money with him, so, thinking he would try the honesty of tho driver, he called out as he ran up the steps; u Wait a minute-I have dropped a ten dollar bill iu the couch, and will get a light and search for it." The words were hardly spoken when the Jehu gave the horst s a furious lash and drove off' at a violent rate. J(J^g"The evening before a battle, a sol-1 dier asked his colonel for permission to go and see his father, who was at the poiut of | dcc.th. " Go," said the officer, who saw. through his pretext ; " honor thy father and thy moth er, that thy days be long in the land." -- . - f?f One very cold night, a jolly old fel low, who had been drinking too freely at a tavern, started lor home in a gig, and on the way was upset and left by the side pi the road. Some persons, passing a short timo after, discovered him holding his feet np to the moon, and ejaculating to some invisible person, " Pile on the wood : irs a miserably cold fire." The German papers publish the following I anecdote, pitying thc affability and lovo of j discipline of the King of Prussia : V? bile walk ing in tho garden of Bablesberg tho King ad dressed a young gardener, requesting infor mation about some new walks. On the man pointing them ont, he appeared very uneasy, and took several glances at his watch', and eventually asked his Majesty to excuse him. as ho had ?a he on guard on Potsdam at such an hour. The King observing that it was al most an impossibility to reach thero in time, ordered a carriage, and accompanied the young man, requesting thc officer on duty to be lenient should he have arrived too lalo." "No one would take yon fdr what yon are," said an old-fashioned gentleman to a dandy, who had more hair than brains. " Why V was immediately asked. "Because they cannot seo your ears." Higg- Rumor hath it that a yopng lady HVr .ing ?ear Powder Springs was fatally poisoned by using a twig for a tooth brush wh?rt?in tho ?ocust? had deposited their eggs. Six boyB have also died in Tennessee from eating mul berries poisoned in the same manner. , For. the Advertiser. Have We Done our Whole Duty t Mo. EIHTOT. :-For a little more than thrt years, the Negroes have been declared tree either from desire on the part of a majorij; of the "Whites', or any other canses, is'it'f?tf morff?nt t? be believed that they .will e^'e again be returned to chattel slavery ?

Certainly -not by the same moth pursued by the whites, that characterized thei ?system of management during the existent* of slavery.' ' A coercive policy must and wil .provoke the very opposite of what we wish U attain. With but few exceptions, little or n< effort has" been made to oojigten crimprovi the moral and' intellectual condition of tb negro, notwithstanding they have be?om< and are a part, and a very considerable part of the people of the Southern' States. How ever so unpleasant this may bo regarded, it if fact. ?te'4*H '*'" *?*riswi> Destiny,'thc march of human progress, 01 whatever else you may call call it, as well as the hopes and aspirations of men seeking po litical preferment, and thc.41 advantages an nexed".,of paying- pl acc.. will tend to expand, if possible, rather than contract, the elective exercise, the proper use^of which can'only be made by those who are informed or di rected aright. Recently, and unfortunately too recently, Radical' emissaries have been trivcllinr, over thc ex-slave States, publicly and privately endeavoring to imbue the negro mind with-the adoption of their views, and to that end, provoking prejudice against the Southern whites. How many of the former slave owner* can say truthfully that they have U?Ctl prof / mcaus to correct the evil -""..cia r.r j teaching ? Observation forces me ?.o tho conclusion that they are lamenta bly few. Tho great difficulty in the way has been, I think, the waut of a full and propel acceptation of thc fixed- fact that thc negro is now free and beyond coercive corttrol. No later than ia April-last, many pjanters whose .employees spoke of, going to vote threatened them with discharge if they did go.' Nevertheless,-in June* following, they are urged and advised to go and v?f>e? pro vided, they voted in opposition to Rauicafism. To a large extent, thc negroes believe that, the re-establishment of Democracy will pos sibly return them to slavery ; ^while jon the other band they believe Radical'rq?-will per-' petually secure there freedom, a-ud/the educa tion of their children free of cost? fccli is at-rraU-krH>JWO%faaUl^ftt^ in nearly all portions of the South since the close .of the war, intense prejudice would, urise towards any person who proposed te&cjjt. ing negroes, which they keep in livelyr? membrance; and they .also believe that it is purposely so, in order that they maybe thc" more easily cheated when being settled with by their employers, and that their offspring may grow up similarly unfitted by dint of'ig norance for the protection of their rights. A dispassionate observation leads me to the belief that the foro<roing is true ns regards the condition of affairs since the spring of I860. Would it not be well,-aye,- is it not abso lutely necessary,-to adopt adifferent policy ? It certainly cannot make matters worse, and therefore any change must bc for the better. Interested in slave property from my infan cy until the institution ceased to exist, and being now past the meridian of life, I profess to know something of negro character and its peculiarities. On such basis I make the fol lowing suggestions, confidently believing that if acted upon thc result will prove wholesome. When contracting with a negro for hisser vices, either at a stated rate per diem or per month, clearly and distinctly set forth ra such manuer a3 he can fully understand, what you require of him. If he faithfully discharge f.he duties fm posed, settle with him justly> and give bim a written character to the ex tent of your experience. If he prove dere lict, point out bis error, and if he does not tben meet your approval; pay off and dismiss bim without any certificate ; and if there be a proper and honorable understanding among your neighbors, he will experience such diffi culty in again getting employment as will most probably lead him to come again to you. and ebdeavor by another trial, to redeem himself.. Rut do not quarrel with or abuse bim, either by corporeal punishment or harsh fauguagc. You have no moral O? legal rjgbt to do so, and beyond the gratifying angered feeling, no result other than an injurious one js arrived at. - If you contract wi th them for a share of thp crop, haye it distinctly set forth in the ar ticle of agreement that they are not to absent themselves from the plantation, during the Working season, save on Sunday, without your consent ; and that if-they do go, and to the detriment of the crop, they Bhall. then forfeit all right to an interest in it, and leave your place forthwith. ' In every case where it bc practicable, have work done by the job br piece, to be paid for when completed. On making final settlements, have one or morp relfable persona presort so that there shall be no misunderstanding or chance for subsequent trouble. Aid and encourage them to the fullest ex tent of their capacity to-oppreciate the im portance of building houses suitable for re ligious service, and attendance thereon, and the great benefit that will accrue to their children from education. As regards voting, I think os soon as the novelty of it passes off, they will care but lit tle for it, unless urged to it by politicians, who will exert little or no influence over them when satisfied that a disposition is really manifested by the landholders to deal justly and liberally with them, respect their proper rights, and advanpe tlie general condition of themselves and their families.

En short, the military nuthorjry in the South is-absolute penetrating sociaUs well as public life and every.branch of society. Yet there is no trouble. The Southern people do not som plain, loudly. They are the most obedi ent people in the world, and there is no more peaceable country on the face of the (?lobe lhan the South. Still, these peop'e are called rebels and ex rebel*, and thc Radicals bold them up KS monsters unsuitable for political consideration and <vcn unfit for Christian burial. Tiley even dispute their right lo be strew the graves of their fallen wnniors with the garlands of remembrance and love. But any one who visits the South at this time und examines, for himself will find that those who fought.the fiercest in their fight against each other-from the North and from the South are now thc warme-t friends, and all business enterprises undertaken in an honest and trust worthy spirit by Northern " boys in blue" ure cordially welc med and encouraged by Soulhern u boys in gray."

But the good saint had probably not the faintest idea how well some of his successors would manage to live in this way. It ls stated that the Rev.

The call is loud enough, and the reverend gentleman roust bo - unusually deaf if he doe/uot bear it at that figure.

That gift is the example of aman who, in civil conflict when that rages to flesh its blood-thirs ty fangs in hostile hearts, wins the admira tion ot his enemies, who charms envy into love aiid awes inalioe into silence, who comes forth from among the smoko and carnage of battle revealing a brow unstained with dis honor and bands unclotted with cruelty, who, although victor in a hundred fights against such odds of troops and treasures as skill nev er vanquished before, suffers no word of boast ing to soil bis pure lipsnnd notict? his success only in modest ascriptions of gratitude to the Lord of Hosts ; who, inarching forward in the perilous path of duiy, refuges a moment's pause for dalliance with the Fame which others must tallow, but which like one en tranced tracks his steps and courts the con decensiou of his k ; ;.g 1 y glapee ; who, as he kneels under triumphs, rises above reverses, and when the last blow is struck and genius can no ?oncer cope with force, surrenders his sword with the same equanimity with wbioh he had ever wielded it, and receives it back from tho conqueror in mute testimonial that none bnt himself is worthy to wear a weapon whose blade blades with a lustre of purity and prowess, bright as the sci meter? of Eden's Sentinels.

The paternal ancestor of thu damsel, believing it was time for the young gentleman to come to terms, went to him whh a pistol, and pointing it in the direction of theNyoung man's cranium, told bim that he had no time for unnecessary foolishness, but must either marry or die.

ICED MUSLINS FOB SUMNER.-It has doubt less oecurred to many a one, while admiring the beautiful effects produced by frost on win dows, to imagine bow delightful it would be if a sensation of coolness could be .produced I in the sultry days of summer by the anpect ' of those effects artificially produced. The imagination has been realized. It is known that, by tn&ans of almost auy ordinary salt, reduced to a liquid, and applied with a brush to window panes, those fairy-like forms of | crystaline foliage may be successfully repro duced, and that, with a little chemical ingen uity, any tone of color may be given to them, from suowy white to richest purple or coolest green. Tliat process is well known ; but an other step in advance has recently been taken in the same direction, by means of which muslins may be similarly iced for. summer wear. The Hue which separates a pretty ex periment from a commercial product is that which may be drawn between results obtain ed by au original manipulation, which can only be reproduced by a repetition of the same original means, and those results which, once perfected, eau be reproduced ad infini tum, by mere mechanical processes. Daguer rootype wa3 only a pretty toy till M,. Talbot discovered the means Qf ppduoing the same effects qu paper, and a process for multiply lng the image wbeu ouce produced.. An an alogous method has been discovered by M. Bartsch, and practically applied by M. Kuhl nian, for multiplying, as from an engraved plate, the exquisite effects of the crystaline, from which any number of impressions can be taken, in any tone of icy grave, or pale silvery greens, or any other cool tint. In order to secure continuity of design, tri thou,t s'.op or interruption, thc flrst manipulation takes place upon a polished cylinder, by means of whf?h a continuous pattern, "never ending, still beginning)" is imparted to as many thou sand yards pf any textile fabric as may be re quired. So that for the first time in the fan ciful story of fashion, iced muslin for the suunner season may be had in any quantity. Oh, ye nymphs ot icy heart, let us see you clothed io the appropriate livery of iced mus lin.--Montreal Gazette.. A ?ECI8ION AS TO PROMISSORY NOTES." The Supreme Court has decided upon a writ of error that a promissory note is rendered void by any change of da.to. after-its delivery. In tbe oas; oq trial it appeared on the face of tho note that "September" had been stricken out and g October ll" substituted as the date, after ono of the parties bod signed the note, and without his knowledge or cou sent. The court showed that it was a rule of the common law, as far back as tho reign of Edward III., that an erasure ia a deed voids it ; and the samo rule had bees held as ap ultana to oonimercial paper-it having been established in both English" and American jurisprudence that a material alteration in any commercial paper without tho consent of the party signing to the change extinguishes his liability. The alteration of the date, whether to hasten or delay the time of pay ment, has been uniformly held to he material. To prevent and punish such, tampering, the law does not permit the plaintiff to fall back upon, th,a contract as it was originally. In pursuance of a stern but wise policy, it annuls the instrument as to the party sought to be wronged.-New York Times. . ? ?
