Ojv. Orr aail Gau. Sicklet. CORRESPONDENCE Washinoton, September 22.?The fol lowingcorrespondence has passed between Governor Ori, of South Carolina. aud G?n eral Sickles, relative to the removal of the latter: Executive Department or S C , ) Columbia, >ept. 7ili, 1807. ) Major Gen. D E Sickle*, Charleston, South Carolina. Bin: I have learned from tire public pre#", although I bave received do official notice of the fact, tbat "yon have been re lieved from the command of the Second M ilitarv OistrrCt, embracing this S'ate and Notth Ca olint, and that bv order of the President if vjorGau. Oft n by has succeed <ed to the same. I de?ire to express to von the great te* igret which I feel peraohally, and officially, at tbo course takt-n by the President and liis advfsera Iti this matter. Tbete are tnanvof 'be orders which have been issued by yotiainco the passage of the recoustruc tioo bills in March last which did not meet my approval; bat it is due to you and your official action that I should beat Voluntary testimony to the wisdom and eucceis of your administration, and to ex f)re?e the opinion thai the almost anlimit ed powers with winch you were invested by the acts of Congress have been exercis< e l with moderation and forbearance.? Your general orders. No. 10. ao far a? this State is concerned, were, lust spring in my opinion, absolutely necessary, looki log to the impoverished condition of the country, the shortness of the provision and stapta crops oY last year, to the general pecuniary distress pervading the country, tind to the necessity of protecting the small means of farmers and planters at that lime from the process of courts ? They were thereby enabled to sub?ist their families and grow the present crop. This crop promises to be in manv r?' apecu and in many sections of the StaU the most important and largest that bar been grown for several years, and when harvested von could, wnhout hazard or apprehension, have executed your purpose, as declared to tne, of modifying general orders No. 10. so that Creditors could have enforced their demands without producing general distress, if nothing worse. It is also due to you to say, that in mv judgment, if general orders N'o 10 had not been issued last npriftg a very consid erable increase in the number of troops in this State would have been necessary to have lieen stationed af manv of the oonrl houses to have preserved the put>lic re cords from destruction, and insure the safety of sheriffs in executing civil process in their hands, winch thev had been ordered lo levy by thoughtless and heartless Creditors. In my opinion, geoeral orders No. 10 received ill? approval of a very large majority of the citizens of South Carolina, and your general administration As commandant of the district is approved by a majority nearly as great. In all the official interconse which we have had, I beg to tender you my thanks for the uniform k ndness and courtesy ' with which I haveheen treated personally, and for the disposition you have always manifested to make (h? burdens ?.f the military government as light upon the people whom I represent aa it were possi hie under the circumstances. I have not the pleasure of a personal acquaintance with your successor, General Canhy, bu* hope that my official relations with htm may he marked with the same h*tm>?nv and kind feeling whioh have character zed our official intercourse for nearly two years past. I have the honor to be. General, very irulv and respectfully, your friend and obediect servant, JAMES L. ORR, Governor Of South Carolina. The following it thre reply of General Siokles to Governor Orr J Wabhinotow, Sept 21, 1867. Sir! Your Kxcullency's letter of tlie 7th Instwhs forwarded to me nt New York, Und received on the 14th. The cordial term* in which von are-pleased to refer to oar official end personal relation* during my service in the Cerolinee ere gratefully appreciated. In my successor, It revet Mxjor>Generel Cenby, von will meet en officer whose ample experience end die tinguished services ham justly commend' d him 10 the confidence of the Govern, roent. In View of the announcement elreadv tneda br General Cenby, adopting and confirming the orders heretofore in fdrce in the Second Military District, it it not probable that any material change in the conduct of affairs will result from the Change in command. In my retirement it is a iource of mach gratification to com pare the present condition of Sonth Cero line with that which I found in aaseming command in the autumn of 1865. The system of free labor hae been enc eesefully inaugural e<f. The emancipated black* have been invested with civil riohta by the voluntary aet of ynnr legislators The tranquility and order which have Keen maintained attest tha general desire of all glasses of the people to obaerre the obli gationa of good eitieene. An abundant harvest has rewarded indoatrv. f5r?in is now exported from Oharleston. Registralion haa proceeded almoat to Completion Without commotion or tumult, or anv erious interruption of the ordinary av<v? tiona of the people. 8inee October, 1 h#B, the eourta of the United States and of the State have exercised nearly all their pow ra without hindrance The jurisdiction of the courls, although a permanent jurisdiction, haa never bean freairioted except in particular caaea iin peratirely demanded by the exigencies of the situation, and the civil authorities in general have been upheld, and civil taw aa been administered, with only such limitations aa became necessary in the ex cutidn of the several acta of Congress.? The particular measure of m? sdminiatra lion which you are pleased to mention With special commendation?General Or dera No. 10 ? vvaa, it ia raid, the occasion of my dismissal from command. You have justly described the order In question aa in tender! to enable the people to make a good crop this year, and thereby obtain the means to support themselves and pay their debts. If my removal had been provoked by some act of oppressors spoliation or ciu. elty, it wottld have been matter of more regrat to myself. As <t it I find'no rear sod to reproach mvsetffor endeavoring to restore in tome de?r?o the na*rr?d p?i? perity of an impoverished populat;oo, and to avert the serious disturbances that would have followed the pros<-cm ion of more than thirty thousand suits for debts pending in South Carolina when General Order No. 10 whs issued m April last ? Although my official Teiatinns to the vie pertinent oT the Carolina* lias ceased, I cannot be indifferent to tlie welfare of comuiTinitres whose interests wete m> long confided to Vny Charge, nor is their proa periiv a matter of indiffertmcu to the peo pie of the United Statue or their represen tativea in Congress. The population of the Carolina* have not tried to prevent the organization of legal civil Governments in the rebel Slates, and it is only just for me to state that vour own prompt and patriotic acqirea i cence In the 'squiremt-nts of the govern 1 merit relieved the people yon represent of many of the burdens of military govern i ment, and at the name ttmo removed some I of the most serious impedimenta to the execution of the reconstruction acta in I South Carolina. I trust your people will not suffer anv detriment by reason ol complications for which thev are not re I sponsible. It on'v rentage for them to comply with the conditions prescribed by - Congress, and Son h Carolina will soon i be restored to the Union, with all her an , cient rights and dignity as a sovereign ... . ?|'n..c<J. i These condition* have no other ohject than to make our institutions t mlv repub I lican in substance and form, that justice , may be done, and that no occasion or pre i text for conflict mav hereafter he found There ia not. in my judgment, anv soffi cient reason to apprehend that thn color ed people will not m -ke good cilieana.?

Those who were confiding enough to suppose ihat thin proclamation wan rows thing mora than mare word# will not da rive much anti*faction from the following report of Mr, Johnson's o?n declarations upon the subject. The New York Times nays : A? an indication of the President's latest tamper on the situation of reconstruc 'ion affaire, witness the following al<a:r*clti of hi* riewe an recently expressed in con eareation with certain politicians who call ad upon bim tor the purpoaa of urging him to re opan registration in 'ha South lie informed them that he could not do no without incurring certain rink of im paachnsent, and admitted that the recon ntruction laws confer on the district mili larv eommandcrs aole control over regis iration. llisoolv power of In erfarence waa the remo?al of commamlerii when ihev failed to et*c<ife the laws in eccord unrfl with his riewa of their legal con* stmetion. Ha admitted that the district commanders are acting under direct an thority of Conercaa in tfie performance of a ehil dm?, arnl that if lie ahould at tempt to assume power ?a enmmander in* chief, to <or.trol the time of registration and holding elections, they would hare the right to refuse to ol>ev hia orders, and would not be amenable to pnn'ahmeot for military Insubordination. If the? did ao, he a'aied that the recent promo'gn tion of the amnesty proclamation threw upon Concreaa the onus of depriving le ga'ly quahfied rot ere from registry and rord'ig, and he hoped that the southern people would appreciate it in that light. If arv of the pardoned masses, he continued, attempt t?* register, and are related, the courts are open to them, and thev can comp*! the military to allow them to register throngh the courts. If ther do eot do so, he concluded that the fault of their diefranehiaement is whh Congress, as he claimed that he had done aii that he could do to reatore them to their rights." > ttnttad Status District Court for Sot?TR CiRDMNi After ?

For one year, in advance, ? $8 00 j For rix inontha, " ? 1 60 For three months, " 1 00 Wbat need of a LegislatureA correspondent of the Charleston Mercury urges upon the Governor the dutv ofordfing elections for members of (he Legislature, lo (nice the places of the members whose terms of office will soon "ipire; ami assigns as a reason why such elections should he held, that in the event the reconstruction Acts of Congress be declared unconstitutional, and the pres ' ent State Governments declared legal, *e would he without nn organized Legisla tive body, and consequently in a state of anarchy. The Mercury endorses his cor respondent's suggestions; hut we iiif<?r from the following extract from nn edito rial in the Columbia Chronicle, on the subject of a new Tax law, that the Gov emor thinks he can manage the machine without the aid of a Legislature. To he taxed at all for the support of a State Government subservient to the military is hard; hut to be taxed without represen Intion if one of the hitler lessons of the present evil times wh'ch our people have yet to learn. The Chronicle says; "The MX ?v*tein of the State undouhiedlv requires revision ; lor under it, the burden ol expense haa been distributed most unequally. Charleston alone has paid tiea'lv one third of the entire sum thus lar received in ihe Treasury, and the hooks of ib*t office ehosr that whnt bnve neretofore heen reusnlsii as the poorest districts of the interior, Iihvh heen com pellrd in pav, in some instances, by far a larger proportion limn more affluent lo calities e'sewiiere. It is desirable, therefore, that a change shall be made, and one that will prove alike welcome to the merchant, nianufac turer and agriculturist. Doubtless it will he done in the next aixtv days ; aid as the Legislature will not be convened, un less some unforeseen event renders such an expensive step necessarv, the new schedule will practically receive the in doraement of the Mihtarv Commander, while collectiona under it mav he e 1 forced ft At the present >inie, with 11.1* assurance liMt (lie incoming Legislature will not make ouch material changes in it ?i to retard enterprise or damage business." The Criaia and oar Duty. Our respected conl*tnp?rn'T, 'he Daily Phacnitt, lies well comprehended the situ ntinn in ire able editorial article under the abo?e caption. Tl savs we are entering upon a campnipn in tbe Sou'b, which is ?o decide. not the Iaia of a party inerelv, nor the disposition which in to he tnade of a few petty officer, hut to determine whether negro license and legalised pih lege and robbery are to take tbe place of law and order, and of that noble civilise tioa which ia tbe work of two ccntoriea of Caucasian energy and talent.

And (hey moat be given distinctly to understand that they have forced upon the peopln of the South the formation of a rfliiie man's party, h? the formation of secret negro societies, which are the atire hot. tied* of a war of races.
