A Severe Letter. The Columbia Phoenix of Monday publishes the following satirical letter from W. B. Nash, the colored orator of Columbia, whoso honest utterances in behalf of the right, have drawn white?tho epithet "traitor." Nash is fully a match fur his mouthy antagonists. Columhia, March 28, 1807. Messrs. Editors see in your paper of this morning, that at a meeting of the colored peo plo hold ut Union Hall, on tho 25th instant, grave charges Were mado against mo, on nc countof.the speech, or "remarks, made" by me on the 18th instant. This so-called public meeting was held in a hall which is thirty-one feet nine inches by thirty feet. Perhaps thero wero 250 persons present. Well, who composed that meeting';' I learn that tho greater part?in their unso phisticated credulity?had been made to be lieve that my notion was to put thorn baqk into slavery. This meeting was led on by Hob Trice and his satraps, foreign and domestic. Oh ! my country, when I think of the fate of the children of Israel. I tremble for my pco^ pie. At this meeting it Was determined that uone of my friends should bo heard. When Mr. Davis tried to sneak, he was hissed. Vet he would bo beard, and his remarks caused such a division among them that the chairman had to take a vote three times to decide whether the resolutions wore passed or not. Now for tho committee which brought in the resolutions, which had been previously prepar ed. First, who is Bob Tricet He came here a hardshell Baptist; the next wo heard of him ho was a temperance lecturer; next he became a Catholic, and uow n bar-room politician. But I forbear, Forest, poor Forest, 1 leave you to yourself?the worst company you could have got in. Now, Williams, did you not tell three gentlo meu of this city that you never wanted to have anything more to do with the Yankccss?that you had come home to live among your own people ? You now denounce me as "a traitor," because I have sympathy for my fellow-citizens. Lo tboy wliito or bhick. if this makes me a traitor, I ask for no prouder inscription on my tomb than "W. B. Nash, the Traitor." Thank (Jod. I can look up to Heaven and say that I never did pledge myself to any man to vote or act against the interests of my State. I am a Union man. but a South Carol in ion. Fitzsimmons I respect us a gentleman. But I would ask the Chairman of this so-called meeting why be. did not publish all tho resolu tions passed? Is he riding the rail between the North and the South? For shame, man! When your prompters behind the scenes pre pared this resolution, your heart failed you, and you would not publish it. Like the owl, you fear the light. I now ask you it you and your party dare to meet me before the people in daylight ? I say to you, beware! lest when you think you are crushing a worm, you are. grasping a scorpion. Oh ! jackass ! jackass ! the lion is neither dead nor asleep. W. B. NASH. THE ORANGEBURG NEWS. SATURDAY, APRIL ?, 1S(J7. While ice reserve tu ourselves the right of'defi ning our own political position bt/ means of our editorial columns, we will be.pleased to publish contributions from our fellow-citizens upon the grace questions which war agitate the v1", ? 1 t ,i .? ? ? ? ? ? i ..otto mind, whether their oiatuons cOJHf"7" ?// ' . ,. . 1 ictth ours or not.

Our columns are open, fla re/ore, /or any communications properly written, accom panied by a responsible lanne, not personal in their character, nor absolutely injurious in their tendency; The People's Voice. Of late, great interest has been manifested in every section of our State upon the subject of a further stay upon suits at law, and in different sections the results of this popular sentiment have developed themselves in various ways. Lately, in Chester District, the Solici tor moved that the whole civil docket be con tinued, and it was so ordered, with the unami nious consent of the B;u\ The same was the case in Lancaster also. In Yorkville, his Honor the presiding judge was called upon by a committee of citizens, and warned not to in sist upon the call ofjhe civil docket. As suaui, however as the Court was in session, he in structed the grand jury to inquire if there was any organization of men. so lawless, as to aim at resisting the duo administration of the laws in the Courts of the State. The grand jury investigated the matter, called before them for examination the very ringleader of the move ment, and upon his disclaiming any such in surrectionary intention, reported that the citi zens of York District were willing to abide by the laws of the land. As regards this District, we have beard of two plans now in agitation on this subject. One is, a public meeting of the citizens of Orangeburg District at the Court House on Monday next, to request of the members of the Bar n similar course to that adopted in Ches ter Disfri.., This seems to bo the most satis factory mm. r in which such an object can be attained, und if the obligation of an Attorney to bis Client can bo reconciled with such a measure, it seems to us tho most feasible plan for accomplishing the desired result. We know that the members of the Bar arc as [deeply in terested in the welfare of the country as any class of their fellow-citizens, and we feel jus ? consistently with their oaths of office, Hud' their duty to their rospueiivc clients. Tho other plan is one that wc .nre ashamed to admit even to have been for a moment* en tertained by any South Carolinian. It is to appcul to Daniel K. Sickles, to interpose his military authority, and close the Courts. Can we believe, in this hour of our dire ektromitv, when our State is enthralled, bowed clown be neath' tho iron hand of the oppressor, when her ancient glory is departed, and but a few relics remain of her former majesty and great ness,?can we believe, that any of .her sons, in such an hour, would appeal to her enemies to despoil her of the few remaining vestiges of her power ? If such there he, who call themselves her children, let them pause ere they strike npon the bleeding breast of their desolate mother the parricidal blow. Let them also remcuindr, that those who are v. i!!if:g to lick the hand that smites them, deserve not to be free. jVo trust our fellow-citizens will not be de luded into action on this subject, which they may hereafter bitterly regret. Conquered as we are, cast down as we are, despondent as we are compelled tu be, honor is not yet lost ? and we need not sacrifice principle ami fair fame upou the altar of selfishness. It it is necessary to interpose a stay to the prosecution of suits, by all that is dear to us of the past, by all that is loll to us worth living for in the present,by all our hopes of a history in the future of which we need not be ashamed, let us accomplish the result by a concert td'action among ourselves, and not aim at tho achievement of these ends by the sacrifice of solf-respoet, patriotism and honor. A llifi in the Clouds. The Elections held in Connecticut ou tl;v 1st hist., have resulted in the success of the Democrats. They have elevated to office their candidate for Governor and three out of four members of Congress. As the former Governor and the entire Congressional delegation were thorough Radicals, this is no insignificant victory, and if in politics it be true that ??coin ing events cast their shadows before," we may well hope that the triumphs of fanaticism are at an cud. and that thp'V?icu'of Justice and Conservatism will be no longer stifled by the wild surges of passion. Parties in tlio South' jiy. The Charleston Mtrruri/, of Thursday, Inc thc following well timed remarks upon j;i ? ! position taken by our Kxccutive at tl ',?? (j- u> ? The intelligence of two in{lttcrs of vital signjficancy came to - rm Tuesday ;?first, the Radicals wcra overthrown by the Democrats, in Cn:r i?T10u( j,y t|1L. eleettoti of a Dcmocartic i, j over nor and three out of lour of tin' members of Congress ; and second, application was about to be made to the Supreme Court of the United States in Washington, by the States of Mississip pi and Alabama, to test the constitutionality of the late M ilitary act. These are the most auspi cious events which have taken place, since the gloom of Radical despotism settled over tho South. Yet, at this very time, here in South Carolina, the (lovcrnor of the State, as our readers have seen from his speech published by us yesterday, denounces the Democratic party. ?and declares that he will make no effort whatever to defeat the Military act. by invoking the interposition of the Supreme Cottrt of the United States. [roll tiii: on^UKiirua nlws.] Our Policy. What course we should pursue is not at all obvious, if the discordant advice, of those who are all profoundly interested is any evidence of uncertainty. Were the evils attendant on either course dctcrniinable or fixed, the rewards of action declared and certain, the extent and lit: its of exactions bounded by any power strung enough to restrain the mad passions of unbridled bate ami lawless aggression; then we might easily choose the best or least dan gerous id'the many ways, none id" which seem strewn with flowers. The sole argument, as far as I can appreciate it, nf those who advise a full and active accept ance ofthc terms offered, is. that they will be enforced at any rate, and. unless we accept, still harsher will be imposed. This may be true; but I cannot find that any terms have been offered; nor that any as surance exists, that any action on our part will be sufficient to satiate the vengeance or malice nf those who have not proposed terms, but have issued decrees, which are borne M us on the points of the bayonet. j I regard then nur condition irremediable, at present, by any thing we can do; for the will and the power to oppress us are coexistent and coextensive. Nu humiliation, no abject en treaty, no desecration ol manhood, self-respect and patriotism can purchase aught but woes embittered by shame and disgrace, because created by ourselves. It but remains for us then to adopt that course which involves us as little as possinle in the consequences of this wild and temporary triumph of party. \Vc alone can make the results permanent. '> Rut should we conclude to accept. as wise, the advice of those persuading co-operative ac (and to ensure the defeat of th? Radicals by se curing the certain and abiding friendship of tho negfo, by admitting him to full social as well as political equality, dividing our lands with them and bestowing our women in mar riage upon them as a stroke of policy, lest Cnn igross may confiscate all our lands and distrib ute all our women among those gallant .colored soldiers, to whom their gratitude is as bound less as their hate of ourselves. This, at least, ;s the argument tarried to its legitimate, inovi tab 1c conclusion ; lor we must get ahead of them to succeed. If we once start this down ward ro.'ul not short of this can we halt. Then if this prk'O be too tremendous for any even hoped fur re.Hilt, lu?w can we pay it fur that which neither /night nor probability ensures. (Congress makes no promise, gives no guaran tee, scarcely extern?> n reasonable hope that such a sacrifice will pin 'diiise peace and secu rity. Without waiting to hvar tho expression of Southern sentiment, u co.nfise.",tK>ii bill'was introduced, and not voted down, hut de.erred. Shall we then barter for tiailgM, i.h?t of which, nut even the hatred of our enemies c.''u despoil us? .Shall we give perpetuity to hu.s j (abhorrent to every white man, and distasteful to every decent intelligent negro himself ? I firmly believe that our action alone can ami will give life to this creation of hate and injus tice, and that if we once adopt it as our own. we can never discard or disown it hereafter. Hotter let the execution of unconstitutional laws be accompanied with every mark of ?ut L~"'e and vi .'!'.'"ce. Retter let bayonets reflect r r. - into the eyes of the world, every sunbeam, visits our unhappy land. Retter let tyranny be carried to its bloody finale* our lands be parcelled out among the negroes* our bodies bo consigned to military prisions or pierced by the bullets of* the soldiers*sent, to see that we have a free c/.?*/e? in this question* for all these but tend to hasten that revulsion which, sooucr or later, will sweep away those who now revel in unchecked power, but can never give permanence to their acts except by our con sent. Certainly I advise no resistance, which would ' ;b? ?s vain as it wutlld be foi lish and outrage ously unpatriotic. We cm simply express our solemn protest by abstaining from any acquies cence. Til suffer outrage and indignity, when inflicted by irresistible power, can be no dis grace; but to consent to it. to receive it will- I ingfy, is disgraceful ami ruinous, and will bear all the bitte-.- faiitis of ;.l! base actions. True we cannot see dearly the results of non-action as we cannot foresee tln.su of active acceptance; since' in either case, we are at the will of those who have cert..inly not been re strained by conditions ngrced tu by us.

After thorough preparation, he entered the Soiit!: Carolina College in 18 111, and at once took a prominent stand. His high character, his excellent talents, his winning manners ob tained and secured f?r him all offices in the gift of the students. Having been the Captain of the College Cadets and the 1'resident of his Society, he graduated in IS ID with the honors j of his class.

Upon them was formed the F.utaw Regiment, of which he remained a private, until his appointment, in the full of 1803, to a Lieutenancy in Col. Butler's Regi ment of Regulars.

While the incidental subject of reconstruct ing Maryland was being talked of iu the Son ate, Mr. Yates took occasion to allude to tho refusal of the people of Ohio to grant negro suffrage, and advocated its enactment, for that, State also.
