S?ei caused Cant. .McNulty to be tried by it Military Commission (although the U. S. Snj>reincuQo\irt had solemnly declared Military Commissions illegal in time of peace,) and fined lfHn heavily for not' allowing a negrcss to crow d'herself with the ladies on his boat. 4th.'.SllIc tried two youths of Columbia for assaulting two mischief makers from the North, by Mjl*Jn*-r Oouiuilftiinij nud Kr.ntca.^<jd, them to confinement at hard labor in a fort in'an other State, where. I understand^ they nro now doing police duty and cooking for negro troops. 5tTv. lie removed an houcst magistrate in Columbia for not ocernloing his [duty in the above case; and replaced him and degraded the office by appointing an ignorant negro. (itb. He interfered with oui laws geuernfTyj and concerning rent, licences, und the adminis tration of justice: thereby destroying all credit. 7th.

ITc disfranchised military officers 'against the literal provision of the July Act as inter preted by itself. 9th. lie slandered owe of the purest Equity Judges of the State, and several of our most respectable and honorable lawyers. Much eulogy has been lavished by you? en General Sickles for Order No. 10. WhatcVci may have been the temporary relief afforded to debtors by this extraordinary order, all lovers of constitutional liberty have it forced upon their reflection, that laws similar have uniform ity been pronounced by the Supreme Court of the United'States to be unconstitutional; nnd that a law passed by our Legislature, which by no liicana interfered with the obligations of 'contracts to the extent of order No. 10, was de clared by the highest Court in the State, by ten judges against one, to be violativc of tlu Constitution of the United States. Also, that tile Attorney-General of the United States in nn argument that has not been, and cannot he, answered, haf declared the issuing of this or der to bo a despotic strotoh of unauthorized power. Finally! while temporary relief hns been afforded to debtors, we have the fact forced upon us, that a largo class of creditors, among whom nro numbered many now desti tute widows nnd orphans; have boen great suf ferers thereby. In this connection, I would nflk if you do not know that the application of Order No. 10, to the Federal Courts was an afterthought on the the part of Gen. Sickles ; and that he did allow tho process of this Court to be freely ox ccuted in this State, until it occurred to him that this Court might on proper enflo made, do c-inro tho duly Act unconstitutional nnd thus destroy his super Cfarie power ? 1 am constrained tn characterize your lottcr as your second bid for Radical favor. Your speech in'Charleston, when yon? ungratefully aspersed the Democratic party which gnvo you prominence, was your first bid. Your letter has furnished the Radical party with a pretext for the prosecution of its nefarious deuigns for tho oppression of the South, that has been seized upon with avidity by its partisan journals. Whilo thus opening tho way for your admis sion into the folds of the Rlnck Republican party, you might at least have spared us tho unwarranted calumny of stating that'hut for the ''wisdom, moderation, and forbearance" of (ion. Sickles -'a considerable number of troops would liavc been necessary to prcscrte public records, nnd ensure the safety of sheriffs, &c." You well know bow law abiding are tho citi zens of the State thus maligned by yotij **nnd that the only riotous demonstrations'made since the war have been by negroes at places whore United States troops were in force. Io conclusion I must say that, your letter represents the sentiments of only- a small class of debtors who prefer their individual well-be ing to the preservation of the liberty of their country r and that nil true South -Carolinians feel that Gen. Sick los while with us, whatever may have been his personal relations to you, not only crushed out the substance of liberty but likewise destroyed its forms. Yours respectfully, T.'Wi WOODWARD.

I The newspapers, says the New York Day Hook, arc full of gossip about Mrs. Lincoln's threats of "redress."

Judge Davis, the ad ministrator of the estate of Lincoln,makes out that he left $85,000. Congress voted his widow $25.000; sho sold the furniture she! took from the White House for 814,000; total, ] ^8124.000. Lincoln has been dead two years, and his poor widow has already come to want.
