In reproducing it from the Columbia Phoenix, in which it first appeared, wo cannot do better than remark, as docs that journal, that "any objections which may be entertained against her criticisms will be lost sight of. in admira tion for the spirit displayed, and the Bo man elevation of thought, which the writer evinces:" To Mm. D. II. If ill: Sib :?? I havo road your eloquent nppenl to patriots to rally to the rescue of their country troni ruin and infamy. You appeal to tho wo men of the South to arouso from their grief stricken apathy, and toil for the South once mure. You have not called in vain. In every wmmnly heart y?.u have awakened a deep re sponse; and being one with them in the great sisterhood of sorrow, in their, name I speak. We Itavc not been silent from insensibility to the dishonor thrust upon us; but from a grief too deep for words. Sir, we do not deem ours'.dvcs equal to the diseuwiou of State-craft and questions of po*> Hi ic-iil import, but we do feel that on the sub- '. jeet of personal honor und State pride wo arc competent to give ait opinion. In our coun try's cause we lost our all?friends, fortuues, homes; yet wo felt that though?like Francis, ut Paviu?"all was lost save honor," in that wo had a priceless jewel still. To see dema gogues, now in power, barter that jewel for a mess of pottage, is a grief beyond endurance, a humiliation hard to bear. We, the women of the South, now speak. Wo take advan tage of ynur courteous appeal thus to make our protect?a protest ?gaiust threatened dishonor, a protest against injustice done the dead, a protest ngailitt nil roHvrntiont. Ab tut ten months eince, several article.- ap peared in tho Now York Jlerahf, and were copied in the sovcrul Stute papers, purporting to tditiW forth ''public opinion in South C.i?p press of ^outh Carolina," they would have becu nearer tho truth; for they were a truthful exposition of the weathercock politics then foisted upon public notice by the several Char leston dailies, and which were void of interest and represented nothing. To a paragraph in one of these articles I call at tent ion. I have waited for ublc, manly pens to give it tho lie, which simple justice to the dead demanded? but waited in vain. Defeated valor rinds no champion now, and it is left to women to de fend tho braves "who died for us." Alter an unjust attack upon men whose mo tives he could not penetrate, and whose ability he could neither emulate nor understand, this siandcrer?safe with the cold bars of the grave between him and his victims?thus strikes the dead: "The leaders in politics, our Senators, members of Congress and Governors, goaded the people to secession and war; and when the wur came, what did these gontlemcu do,?rush to tho front and load forlorn hopes t A few per haps, may be found by tho diligent historian, but the vast majority in this, and other. South ern States, went to Congress, held other civil offices, and becatuo Collectors of tax in kind." This is not true-. The statesmen and Gov ernors did not goad the people to secession and war. The revolution wax a great popular up heaval, a political and social necessity. It was the bloody result of mental and moral antagon ism, and the statesmen could uct have prevent ed it. It was, iu truth, au irreprctaiblc con flict?and secession was demanded alike by the laws of nature and the necessities of political oeouoiry. Tho statesmen of tho South, like the priestess upou her tripod, but gave utte rance to the mighty spirit that moved them; a spirit greater than, though consonant with, their own. Their prophecies and winnings, threats and appeals, emanated from no more personal source, and had no selfish aim. Moved by inspired forebodings, as prophets they spoke to the people. Lay not to their charge the mighty woes that have befallen their country. As well might the Jews condemn the prophets of old for the downfall of Jerusalem; because when the hand of inspiration lifted the veil of the future, bla,"t;ug their sight with a vision of the city's fell .destruction, their quivering lips cried out. its prophecy! Who is "Cnro linians," that he should sit in judgment upon the patriotism of others'{ A man whose ve nality is ho well known that men, having busi ness of questionable legitimacy, invariably se cure him as their pliant auent; and seldom docs bis eminent chicanery fail them. He is ono of those creatures that often creep into the councils of kings and suggest vile craft, under the name of State policy. Of the secession ists that composed the rank and file of the Confederate army, "Carolinians" could know but little. Hy personal contact, he could not know them ; having scoured a Bafc retreat, whtirc bullet? never whistled, nor cannon thun dered. Neither could ho know them all through public print, for ninny of tho noblest did bravo duty in common filo, and their names were never placarded in capitals on tho walls. The representative secessionists from this State, . in Confederate service, were Moans, Keitt, Gregg, Marshall and Jamison, and where are they now ? At their posts they fell ?uiartyrn to the glorious causo thoy lived and battled for. On the other hand, tho men of Union pro clivities?those who took counsel of their fears und preached discretion upon Fulstaff princi ples ; who, either as floating chaff or excited sediment, only muddind th? current thoy could not stem?during the war, where were they ? With a voi nl allogianco, they paid tribute in their hearts to tho flesh-pots of Egypt, yet sought personal safety in the friendly tents of Israeli While- war's conflict raged, and broth ers and countryman battled for altar and home, they. Cowered ill Cm (federate capita Is and quar termaster's ware-houses, and, Under tbo refuge of some fortunate disability, enjoyed the warmth of hearth-stone. Where arc they now Y Whining at tile doors of ucgro conven tions, deploring pnst association with patriots and gentlemen, denouncing dead heroes ns criminals, repudiating the white race of which they are degencrato off-shoots, nnd beggiug for the crumbs that full irom the negro's table. A thousand times better arc our dead linns, than such living dogs ns these. As WoUlcU of tho South, wo protest against all conventions. Since the war, they have, in every instance, bceu either abortive or produc tive of disaster. The first,- composed of senile paterfamilias and duiunmlizcd home guards, did that in their fatuity that Congress would hot do ?bartered away the rights and property of a people without their consent, or making them compensation. The second wan a ghastly' farce enacted-upou the boardsnt Philadelphia; and we marvel that uo one has held up its de precating servility and moral cowardice to tho scorn of the world ; that there has been from the South no indignant denunciation of its pitiful weakness, fraudulent expedients, politi cal!, perjury, personal and representative humili ation. It te but tin net of simple justice to tho T5uutu~i<nnaurfr-*Ag-fitg>rp-jrnHH fit n)} t\*f mitW, but as yet unacknowledged by our people, that these men, so forgetful of personal and State pride, ho obsequious and acquiescent, wh< wont over into a hostile country and shook in amity the bloody hands of our enemies, were not rrj)rc.<rn(iiffrn men. They wore trading politi cians merely. They had no right to wrong us so. A Mo ill majority, more tools of ambi dextrous Governors then in power, scut them there. Thoy could, iu politic forget fulness of J the past, take New England Pharisees to board and hearth stone, but they had no right to I speak for tho State. For them to do so was an act of usurpation, and sh ?mclcss wus their ! I abuse of the passing power. Iu the name of .heir several States, they abandoned the pre cious right of sovereignty ; they blackened tho memories of their illustrious dead, by disclaim ing tho principles for which they died; they insulted the Lures and Penates of Southern homes, by cheering that flag whose wake through our land ws illumiuatcd by blazing roof-trees. Southern dignity, Southern pride, Southern honor, they trampled iu the dust. With sacrilegious hinds, they tore theKC jewels irom the crown of our State, and as propitia tory offerings, laid them at the feet of a das tard foe. At a holocaust so glittst ly, well might Caroliua, like Agamemnon of old, veil her sight from the blasting sacrifice. Massa chusetts und South Carolina clasping hands in fraternal love ! Southern women looked in scorn on tho unholy alliance, nnd regarded tho actors with tho feelings of Mtehal, Saul's daughter, when, looking through her window, she saw David) the King, leaping and dancing iu scan ty gartnouts. (II Samuel, Chapter VI, Verse 10.) "Gentlemen of the Convention," what did you accomplish '( The salvation of your country ? Alas ! uo. Home, it is true, was once saved by the cackling of gecsc, but suc cess did not follow your imitation ol that illus trous precedent. Tho South still bears her burdens and hur chains. The Yankee, in all his characteristic abominations, prowls every where. 'J hey nro frogs in our kneading troughs; they arc muggots in our country's festering wounds. And here the Yankee will remain; all tho proclivities of his nut uro im pel him to it?"for '? is is not tho generous ra pacity of the princely eagle, who snatches away the living, struggling prey ; he is u vul turoj who feeds upon the prostrate, the dying and the dead." Laurence Keitt, the Patrick Henry of secession, iu one of his impassioned nppcala for timely resistance to encroaching ty ranny, exclaimed, "O my countrymen ! crush the s;rpent on your door-sill, before it coils on your hearth-stone." Alas lor the women of the South! the serpent is coiled there, nnd spits his venom on our daily bread, and the hands that sought to crush it arc folded and cold: The,third convention Was a failure. It "was compo||(l of gentlemen quivering under a senso <if coming disgrace?nlivo, but not equal to the necessity of act ion. Its president was a man more prone to sit in public judgment on the discretion und valor of others, than display nimihiv merits Of his own. Of tliojast Convention, (so-called,) the un Inwfui assembly at tho Club Houso, I cannot speak. Wheu the Governor of a State nd dresses,.,a caucus of negroes as "gentlemen of | the Conventionthere is for . that State no lower in Ian ly. Yes, there is one step further ?its (recognition aud ratification by tho peo ple j Sir, have we not cause to protest against conventions ? Have thoy not been fruitful of | disaster ? Is it not time that their dread work should coaso ? ?. Where is tho justice of tho South's punish incut? A punishment, to be just, should com mensurate with the magnitude of tho crime committed. Tho South was no criminal. The act of' secession was but a manifestation of her right of "sovereignty, and by the act ehe but sought to save her public chastity from the corruption of Yankee ideas, and her domes tic honor fropi the pollution of Yankee morals. Did ihc sin, in that she sought with desperate devotion to save her altar and hearth-stone from desecration and defilement, and in drawing the sword of State when her crown of sovereignty was in danger, nnd giving her sons and her substance to uphold tho cause of religious and civil liberty '{ Aud, too, the self-devotion of hcr jiaughtcrs ; the vulor of her sons ; the he roism of soldier-boys, whoso "jackets of grey" arc vestures of renown ; aro those things to be ashamed of? acts to be repudiated ? sins to bo atoijctl for!' 11? believe not. Rut if an incx orublo Nemesis demands our punishment for sins such as these, we are willing to suffer and die' We have faith in the ultimate triumph of Confederate principles, and to their cause wc devote our activities. We have tho spirit for-'tho work. Every want, privation and dis aster wc lay at the door of the Yankee and his pliant tool, the rencgrade Southerner. Wc feelAhat their battle with us is not over.

Famine faces us, and it is a toe of the Yan kee's evoking; therefore, in a spirit of defi ance, meet it, fight it and defeat it. This thought gives strcnghth.

XI ORE. Charleston District Meeting ? OY I'll K H. E. CHURCH, SOUTH, HELD AT OlMXGBBUUa, 8. C. MAY 21st, 18r,R. Dishop D. S. Doggctt, of Virginia, preeidod at this meeting ; and it was a very interesting assemblage of delegates from the various Cir cuit* in this Church District, Wc publish, Ky request, the Reports of the j various Committees of the meeting: KEI'OIIT OX MISSIONS: The command of Christ to "preach the gos pel, to every creature, ill the the world," will roivnin in full force until tho work u accomplished. The declarations of the word of God are many, clear and strong that Ills kingdom shall encompass the eartli. It is ovideut to the heart of faith that this will be done sooner Ol' later. Human instrumentality has been appointed to tho task, and this ap pointment will stand fast, for Cod \h tint man that He should change bis plans. The church, as n lump of leaven, linn been placed in tho world, and under thii warning influences of the Holy Ghost, is Itffi to purmcato the mass until the whole is leavened; When We rodect that near twenty centuries Have passed away since the. foundations of His kingdom were laid anil three fourths of tho work still remain un done, the lothnry of the church in alarming. The question is appropriate, Why docs this work progress so slowly? Is it because of the want of men or of means '{ An empty treasu ry says lliat it is nol the lohnet' for the tciu poral necessities of the number whom Oed has called to devote their time and talents to the spreading of Holiness, have kept its funds ex hausted. But mi limply treasury fhiys it is Hie latter. Not that the arrangements or bounty of Gods providence has failed, but that the tithes tire withheld from tho storehouse. Tho Jow was required by tho law of Clod to bestow the tenth part of nil proceeds of his labor to sustain religion in his own circumscribed land, and the Christum is wont to confine his liberal ity to the same law, when his duties nro en larged oven to the ovnngolixation of the whole World. And yet We- a?k tfllu gives tho tenth F Tho church pleads its poverty as an excuse for its stinted contributions. But wheroin is its poverty evinced ? Do we see less of stylo, of extravagant living) of expensive fashion, of costly amusements, than in former and more plethoric years '( Alas I alas ! this compara tive povcrity begins, nnd ends its retrench ments nt the house of God. And arc Ve in deed poor ? Let us remember our Lord nnd Master who though he was rich, yet for our snkes he became poor that we through his poverty might be rich. Bich in faith, rich in goodworks and rich in eternal glory. We have yet to learn that we arc not our own, but have been bought with a price, and should glorify God in our budicr, nnd 111 our spirits which arc his. Wo should learn that because he laid down his life for us wo ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. "We pray the church to awake to her duty toward the perishing nations, and send forth tho heralds of the cross to every land to hasten the coming of our Redeemer's Kingdom, and cease not her labors till the whole earth shall be fill ed with his glory. Wc have two missions es tablished in our own .district where the gospel could not be preached, but for the aid of the church. The Lexington Missions is located, in the poor sandy regions of that county, inhabited by appreciative but indigent people. It is served by Bcv. C. Scnn with acceptability. The St. Georges Mission located in CollctOti County and served by Rev. A. J. Green is .?? u promising field, and in a few years may be come self sustaining.

DEPORT ON CUUUCII PROI'KRTY. The Committee on Church Property of tho District, after giving the subject that conside ration which their limited tlnie Would allow of, Would respectfully submit the following report: The title to all tho Church property in the District wc believe to bo indisputable atld Un disputed, except that of Old Bethel Church in the city of Charleston, and the property willed to the Methodist Church of Charleston Station by Mr. McKco, which is now in litigation be tween the Northern M. E. Church and the Trustee. The Property is nil free from debt, except Trinity Church in Charleston over which there is n debt of about twelve hundred dollars. Several of the Churches on the diffcr-r out circuits, your committee arc sorry to learn arc in a dilapidated condition, but we are glad to hear that arrangements arc in progress to have them repaired and some of them replaced I by now houses. We Cud that by the reduction j of several of tho largor Circuits into smaller ' ones, some are without Parsonages and on account of the frequent changes, tccently made in tho boundaries of tho circuits, they are afraid to build others; and that one circuit having some means has manifested some nnxic ty to build, would not fur the reasons above stated. Your committee arc of tho opinion, that it would bo well for this meeting to take such action ns in its judgment may be thought best to arrest tho frcqueut changes in tho circuits; then no excuse remaining we think each cir cuit will soon be found with a comfortable Parsonage for the accommodation of its Minis ter nnd his family. Your Committee arc of the opinion that it would be well to have the proposed changes in Circuit Boundaries invariably introduced nt tho Third Quarterly Meetings unless such change meet?! with favors by all the circtiit* that would be effected thoreby. ilfcWMlT ON RKI.HIIOUS iNTfcltESf OF THE COLORED POPULATION.
