WI2NSUO00. Tuesday Morning, ngaat 1'86. WANTED, at this 0b% one or two newsbdys, to sell papers on the Charlotte & South Carolina railroad. None need iy: !Y except those of an industrious and We copy from thc Columbia Phani, as will be found in another colrugn, an article written by Gen. WADr HAMP TON, urging upon Carolinians the impor tance of remaining at honme and lending their best energies to the forratioh and * putting in complete working order our State Goverumen; instead of.attempting an emigration to a country they know nothing of. The letter in question is quite an able document. It emanater'rom a gentle men who lias braied death a thousand times upon the battle field, fighting for the cause of the South, and as lie tridy says that that osuse has been lost, now is the time for all true lovers of the State to prove their regard for her by remaining at home, and help restoring her to that prosperity and happiness she -enjoyod in the days of yore. We di rect special attentiott to the letter. Singular. Sometime since we mentioned in.our paper that Judge MARVIN had been ap pointed Provisional Governor of Flori 4a, and we now see the ainexed iteiis in our Augusta exchanges. Whether the delegation which arrived in Wash ington on the 15th had anything to do with the mAtter in question, time alone will develoi ; and wherher now it is MARVIN or Mo0ns, we cannot say: "A delegation arrived at Washingtoni from Florida, . July 15. They are op posed to the appointment of Judge Mar vin, Provisional Governor. "Judge Morris, of Florida, has been appointed Provisional Governor of that State. lie is a Union Re(ugee." A dispatch from Richniond says that Colonel J. F. Laflin, United States Marshal for Virginia, has seized, upon confiscation writs regularly issued from the United States District Courts, the Spottsood louse, owied f Messrs. Haxam & Crenshaw two noted con. tractors nnder the rebel government, and also the Ballard House, owned by Mr. Ballard, a leading rebel during th e war.

A Northern letter writer,, wh6 his travelea throliA Alabama, writes thus. of the prospects of the cotton crop in the' State: I was iudeed surprised to see the amount of gotton there is planted along both sides of the railroad. I noticed several fields before we crossed the State line, and after we entered this State it was aldaoat a continous cotton eld, the only exceptions being a few abandoned plantations and an occasional field of grain. It is all looking finely, and I was told by several planters that although most of it was planted late in the season it was maturing rapidly, and they anticipated a handsome remunera tion for their industry. It is w6rked by negroes, the same as of old, and nearly every man I conversed with on the .sub. ject informed me that the crop would be more profitable under the new regime thRn under the antiquated system of slavery. It wvill be remembered that sometime since -we published a small paragraph stating that the Richmond Whig had had bee' suppressed. The following it appears, was the cause of, the suppres. sion of the V1ig : "The Whig was the only paper al lowed to continue its publication after the capture Qf Richmond. A. Ira Smith was then the temporary proprietor. but on the IIth 'instant, W. M. Elliott and J. C. Shields, its former cooductors,.re sumed its control, with R. Ridgeway as editor, lie having retired . from it, after opposing secession, four years ago. In ha first editorial, (and to which GonerkT Terry took exceptions.) Mr. Ridgoway signed his nane, and in the course of it remarked: "I am sternly and inflexibly opposed to the execution, imprisonment or furth. er embarrassment of any person who was connected in any way, officially or other wise, with the late revolution. All classes and conditions ot our peopl'e have alike suffered enongh. The guilty and the innocent alike have drained the cup of misery and humiihation to its very dregs. I am equally oppQsed' to the mean, brutal and cowardly policy of confiscation. The possession of proper. ty, %vhether little or much, is not a crime, nor i. it recognized as such in any core written or iiawritten, of any nation, civilized or savage, on the .face of tfle earth, and let not tq best Gov erminent the world ever saw make itself the worst and most despicable, Ly. tlh adoption of a policy which measures the' guilt of ian offonder by the qanount of his property. The revolting absurdity of such a policy is equailed only by its atro cious injustice." , Ie continues to indulge the conf. dent - hope, therefore, tha4t President Johnson will not only restore to its pro per and legitimate owners all property heretofore declared forfeited, but will, also, without further harrassing, ipjuri. ,ous delay, expunge that heathenish tweuty thousand dollar exception frutn his late proclamation," We c4y the following .items from the Charleston Courier of the 24th ult: Drsdivzctunh AFFAIR. AT ORANoiE Suto 8,C.-We learn by a genatlemian from Orangeburg, 8. C., that a number of the Firat. Ohio Cavalry have been guilty'lately of some very disgraaeful proceedings' in that towvn, On Thurs day or Fniday last, a large patty of them visited the store of' Jones & Johnson, and instead of giving the protection aked for, cleared the store of every thing ih i, wantonly destroying and throwing mn the street whatever they did tuca jappropriate to .themselves.

Let presbP liticslkqtibe thutre4t; and sone" political fruit must result therefrom. Some of these, more prominent than others, are,' 1. Secesssion in its concep. tion, purposes and alms, has totally, ab solutely failed. .2s Slavery no longvr exists, and never will exist egain. 3. So grat, so raoic4, so overwhelm ing is the change in the status of. politi cal relations, that aumF . x not yet compassed it. Secessiqn was the le - practical fruit of certain politici .rines ad. vanced when the, Constitution was framed and adopted. 'In theory, thi system was as beautiful as a Calhoun could make it. The ablest, purest poli ticians of our country, honestly advocat ad its tenets. The present generation, South, bared their breasts to defend it. While many used it for selfish purposes, thousands took it tip earnestly. Accord. ing to the great Jefferson it is a remedy to be adopted only as the least of the two gro'at evils. Many thought in 1860 that the timA for that choice had come. The sequel has shown the errot then made. The honest defenders ol the right df secession long painted, be. fore the war, the prospective fruits ol its application. These same, who have survived th, war, must admit that thes fruits have been of the most deplorable character. Admit (and it must be ad mi',ted) that 'secession has absolutey failed, and 'this is one of the rugged po, litical shoals which will henceforth be sbunned by the ship of State. Need it be elaborately argued' tha slaverk is gone? To do this with the. burden of ekisting facts all against it, were a task too Herclean to undetr take. Dead issues should be past ii, sus. Enough there is for the politiciar or political economist to do to ?trike on from the chaotic mass of labor and capi tal some attractive theory as a beacor to revive the sinking energies, and gath er. the scattered resources of- a disap pointed, hiroketi people. To mourn dvei LIh past is childish ; to, writhe in malice, madness. Tremendpus issues involve tremendous consequences'; these deman calm and deliberate measuries ? Ar< not such demanded now ? That is bai ground to take that, bpecause a house i, *burned dow n, no steps should be taker to rebitild it. It were worse to'say thae it makes but little difference as to what workmen or what material are broughi to do it. Admit too, that'ihe system o labor, as it existed heretofore, is gone for ever. and much ii gained towards-a sue cessful solution of many great poiitica prolenms new before the people. In one word. the whole South lias un dergoine an esseanial, radical change, the very toundation of. State go'vernment i to be relaid, and all1 feelings of an ani nmal nature must be st'angledl whih reason and sound wisdom be'allowed t< triumph. Md. The Charleston Ogusra~r prefaces biographical sketeli of the Hon. B. F Pisat, thonew (iovernor of oar'State with the following. remarks : " We congrattulete the State on tt appoitment- of th0 Hont.

The desire to leave a country which has been reduced to such-a'deplorable condition as .oure, and whose future has so little of hope, is doubtless as wide spread as it is natural. But I doubt the propriety of this expa triation of so many of our best men. -The very fact that our State is passing through so terrible an oWdeal as the pres ent, should cause her sons to cling-the more closely to her. My advice to, all of'my fellow-citizens is, that they should devowe their whole eiergies'to the reeto. "ation of law and orer, the re-establish ment ot agriculture and commerce, the promotion of education and the rebuild ing of on: cities and dwellings whiph have bten laid in ashes. Toeaccomplish these objects---4hoe highest that patriot ism can conceive-I recomnend that all who can do so should take the oath of allegiance to the United States Govern. ment, so that they inay participate in the *restoration of civil government to our State.- War, after four years of heroic but unsuccessful struggle, hap failed to securo to us therights for which we en gaged in it. To Uave aiy of our rights -to rescue anything more from the general ruin-will tequire all the states. manship and all th patriotism of our citizens. 'If the best men of our country -those Aho for y~ats past have risk ed their lives in her defence-refuse to take the oath, they will be exclud ed from the councils of the State, and its destiny will be tomnmitted of ie cessity to those who forsook her in her hour of need, or to those who wonld gladly pull her down to irretrievable rain. To guard against such a calamity, let all trite patriots devote themselves, with zel and lionesty 6f purpose, to the resto raTon of law, the blemsinga df peace and to the r-scne of whatever of liberty may be saved from the general wreck. If. after an honest effort to effect these ob jects, we fakil. we can then seek a home in another country.

He will soon call a convention of the peopl-. which will be charged with the most vital intetests ofeour State. -Choose fo)r thi-i convention your best and truest men ; not, th1o1e who haveskulked in the hoitr of danger----nor those who have worshipped Mammon, while their co'in - try was bleeding at every poro-atpr the politiqiah, who, after urging war, dared not encounter' its, hardships--but thoso who laid 44efir all upon the altar 1 of their country. Select. such men, and make them serve as yor representa. t ives. You will then bo %re thit your rights wvill not be wantonly sacrificed, nor your liherty brtered for a meAs of pottage. My iltentiow is to pursue the course I recommend to others. Besides the obligations I owe my State. there nrc others of a personal character whict, F will not permit me to leave the country 9a present. I shall devote myself earn eitly, if allowed to do so, to the dis - charge of these obligationm, publi: and I private.
