. Silent Politicians. The ooutributoriul editor of tho " York ville ?uquiror," in liis quaint style, thus notice* the silont politicians at tho present junctuio. Tho notico ia well worth roadiug : Somo of oar contemporaries express sur prise at tho' fact that many of our hitherto voluminous advisors nod country-savers are now silont-now, when, if over, we need the advico .md, wlsdoih of oxporieiu;o to'guide us. It docs not surpriso us. Tho ease is u vory.cloar one. If you have ever so.cn a coon up a tree while j tho? hunter was ohoppiug at tho tree, and j watched his course, you can rcully understand tho point of our illustration. Tho coon ?eis high up iu the tree, among tho topmost boughs, and soloots a fork. Ho j keeps in thia fork, keenly eyeing both th? dogs and tho axeman, especially tho latter. After the tree, begins to totter and fairly to start over to ono sido-and 'there is no longer u doubt which way the treo will fall-ho jumps. j Our sileut politicians aro like tho coon. "Whenever it becomes perfectly apparent whioh way political affairs arc going to turu, thon these Solong will speak out vociferously, as soon aj it is safe for them to do so. . Mark theso men-theso silent Solons. They aro cowards, and wc want bravo men iu times liko those. Oov. Perry is a brjxvo man. He may bo wrong-wo believe some of his conclusions arc-but wo a thousand times profcrsuch men to thoso cowardly coon-politioian who are wait ing uutil we aro ruined, in order that they may sec what advico will be most profitable to them to give us. Awoy with such patriotism. To tho dogs with such politios. If inaction is thc true policy, let them say so. If they bolievo in radicalism, let them an oouoco it now. If Gov. Perry is right, let them say so. Hero half a dozen men have spoken, after months of agony and tyranny. Aro theso half a dozen all our political leaders 1 Indeed, soven years ago, after secession was an inevitable fact, wo had eloquent speakers, and advisers, and country-savors, so many that with a do/.cu each night, it took a month to hear their speeches and all their advice. Where aro all these men ? A few of them sleep on the battle fields ; hut thc great body of those eloquent uieu nev er got sleepy iu that way. Eternal silenco, it is true, would become them well; but knowing that they are ready (ns soon os thc tree begins to fall) to jump to thc front and tell vis all about it, we deem it proper to call their attention to the Bubject now. Col. Wm. C. Preston (peace to his honored memory) onco described certain of our politi cians as resembling the sea gull-that the sea gull, buffeted, driven and dashed onward by thc viol?"" ?.c of thc storm at sea, seeks a foot hold at ..ist upon sonvb jutting crag, and look ing back upon thc tempest-the troubled wa ters beneath aud thc thundering clouds above -and fancies, poor thing, that it is leading ?that storm ? . Did any of our readers over see ouc of those political gulls ? SENATQR WILSON .Qvr-osE?

Sickles has issued an order in relation to certain (moneys advanced by South Carolina banks, during tho war, for tho purchase of horses for tho Confederate service, but which, not being expended, had been distributed since tho war, under a chancery decree, among banks ami other claimants. Thc order annuls the decree as a fraud against tho United States, and op. points a receiver, on the part of tho Govern ment, to whom thc funds distributed, inclu ding costs and fees of counsel, are to be repaid. Tho receiver is directed to report promptly any delinquency or obstruction, on tho part of individuals or corporations, in thc way of tho execution of tho order. In Mr. Picrrepont's speech in the Surrult trial, he tells a story which will interest tho students of spirtOal sei nice. On tho morn ing of the assassination of Mr. Lincoln, there was a Cabinet meeting tho members of thc Administration were joyous over tho surren der of Lee. Mr. Lincoln expressed anxiety about Sherman, and when Grant assured him that Sherman was all right, ho replied by de taining a dream which he had hud previous lo Chancellorsville, Stone Uiver and olher de feats. Thc recurrence of tho dream led him to dread tho rccurrcnoo of disaster. It came ; but instead of calamity to our armies, it was lija ow,n assassination. The supernatural war nings that came to Saul, and Pompey, and Cioaar, soon to havo n'so como to Lincoln. Truly, there aro mor/ things in Heaven and earth than aro dreamt of in our philosophy.

Publio Meeting at Walhalla According to previous announcement, a large number of colored people assembled at Walhalla, on Friday last. They formed in procession and marched to thc grove, at the upper ctul of town, where preparation had been made for public speaking. After order had been restored, Mr. PlEPEli introduced Col. W. D. WtEK.ES, of Anderson, who delivered a lengthy and very appropriate speech on thc occasion. Several colored persons made remarks in a spirit of kindness and sympathy for bot h races. A considerable number of white persons were present. Tho colored people spread their pic nie in a pleasant spot near by, and seemed to enjoy it with moderation and good order. They prepared a separate table for their invited ' guests, and were assiduous in their attention to them. Tho colored people demeaned themselves well on this occasion. It was reserved for their white friends to getup an unpremedita ted row late in tho day. " John Barleycorn" was, we think, to blame for tho disturbance. Mr. PlEPKU, the Intendant, had tho "inns" closed up, during thc day, and was earnest in his endeavors to preserve tho peace? In Charleston, on tho 9th instant, cotton was quoted at 21 to 27 ; corn, 81.25 to $1.40 ; flour. 810.00 to 812.00; wheat, 82 to $2.30; bacon, 14 to 18; salt, 82.50 por sack. tUdr The United States Government paid out, in the year 1864, 825,000,000 for tho support of our Western military posts, and in tho year following thc nmount was inorcascd to 857,000,000.

In this connection, a correspondent of the '.New York Herald" says: ? \ !

A year ago, whou thorn waigen ions thought of removing Stanton^ Weed's mic Raymond's influence, coupled with Seward'! entreaties, induced tho President to arandin tho idea. Seward, at that time, urguod tba Stanton had been a very badly abnse? man ; and that, though bc might have coiniuittoi small oflences, still, in view of his prent ser vices, such trilles should be overlooked. I is now said by the friends of tho Presiden that Stanton's offences ai o not moro trifles but amount to u deliberate system of thwart inc the President, obstructing his pojicy i every way, and insulting him repeatedly i his oflieial intercourse.

The " Cheraw Advertiser," which hus per sistently opposed tho reconstruction measures of Congress, says that thc following arc fixed facts : " First, that a convention will be called in I this .Statu by an overwhelming majority, nnd that tho constitution framed by that conven tion will bc mit ??cd by alilce majority. Near j ly one-half of thc white voters arc di&fran I chiscd by tho last explanatory supplementary Act; but if there was no disfranchisement, thc colored vote will bc a unit, which would of itself call a convention. In addition to tho colored vole, however, we think it safe to add a majority of thc white vote to that of the colored in favor of a convention. " Tn thc next place, the constitution framed b> thc convention will be adopted by thc pop ular vote by a similar majority to that for thc call of a convention. " Tho next fixed fact is, that tho State will be reconstructed tn full accordance with thc Act an) its supplements; that is, it will bo thoroughly radicalized-will elect a radical delegation to Congress, and cast a radical vote in the next Presidential election. If these are fixed facts, as wc suppose, tho next fixed fact is, at thc meeting of Congress in Dcccm |1)cr, tlic constitution adopted by the people will be approved by Congress, and the Sena tors and Representatives will bc admitted at once to their scats in that body. Thus thc leader in the rebellion-the first State that at tempted to withdraw from the Union-will be thc first to get back out of tho cold." If these arc facts, and wc believe they arc, why spend breath, why foment discord and keep alive party spirit, in discussing recon struction. Rather let us improve tho hour in securing competent,^reliable maj, to represent Tho other d iy, wc accidentally came across a passogo io the speech of the Hon. GEORGE MCDUKKIK, which possesses o curious interest at this time. The clorpaent words in which he denounces thc crime of assassination will find a response in thc heart of every honora ble man, while his remarkable prediction in reference to the assassination of a President of the United States deserves to be brought to thc attention of tho whole country. In his own words, ?< God forbid that it should be prophetic." Thc idea of assassination is so absolutely abhorrent to all the feelings, thc Christian feelings, of modern times, and of such perni cious tendency, that 1 feel it to be my duty thus unequivocally to express my utter abhor rence of every proceeding that may have the remotest.tondonoy to suggost tho idea of as sassinating tho Chief Magistrate. Such n course is not only obnoxious to thc abhorrence of. every honorable man, from its moral atroc ity, but from its political tondoncy. livery mau who will attentively road the history ol' revolutionary France, will be satisfied that thc projectors of the infernal machine, more than all his own parti/.ans, civil and military, con tributed co elevate Napoleon Bonaparte from thc chair of tho consuh.to to tho throne of thc empire. I will make ono conoludiug remark on the subject-God forbid that it should bc prophetic-and it is, that if, in tho midst of a violent political excitement, it ever should occur tba6 a President of tho United States should be assossiniitcd, ho will bo tho last con stitutional President, and his blood will ce rnen* t>!?c despotic throne of his successor." ?tST Julcsbnrg,on the Union Pacific Rail road, is n good specimen of a fast Western town.

Tho General had brought with him from tho valley, a rough uneducated man, full of energy, who had i the utmost confidence. He called this man, j told Ililli that stream must bc bridged imme diately ; thc regular engineers were also ad vised of ttte fact. In a short time tho rough carpenter and thc polished men of soicnoe wore at the stream ; tho former had his plan, thc latter theirs ; he wished to go at tho work nt once without drawings, but they objected until they could perfect, thc plans on pnpor. The. engineers retired tu their tent to perfect a paper bridge ; thc carpenter took bis men and went to work at once lo make a real one. In a very short time bc appeared at thc Gen eral's tent, and reported briefly thus : " Gen eral, that bridge is done, but them pictures ain't conic yet?"
