By the Charleston Daily ANews o the 2d inst., we learn that, by a dispatch received from the Superintendent of tike South Carolina railroad, H. T. Px.:K:, Esq., the bridge over the Congaree riv er was completed on Thursday last, at twenty minutes of five o'clock. The News further gives us the j~ifor. Ination that tlwre are now only a (w gaps to be repaired on the road, When full coarnmnicatton will be had with Co. lumbial. The tone of the Press at the North is evidently changing from a spirit of ha tred and revenge to one of cool and dis passionate argument 'Tlhis-we are re joice4t. to see. Instead of h.lding us enemies in peace, as the'radicals would, the sound and influential papers are rep. res-nling nA before the Northern people in a manner both creditable to them selves and fair to ts. It is passing strange that the feelings of many at the North shouild blin4 them so entirely to a sensil4e view of the situation. To believe -thm, one would think - there wAs nothing lovely or honorable, pure or. of good report, in the- whole South. They think no mort'al man can hold to any opinion or doctrine different fromt theirs, and- at the same time be honest.

I. SEWARD, Sec'y of State. DisTINOUistlED, ARaIVALS.-His ex. cellency Governor Verry arrived yester.. day from Greenville, and has his quar-. ter!, at the Shiver House. Generals Meado and Gillmore, of the U-nited1 States army, have .also arrived at the. ca pital, and taken lodgings at the Sliiver House. General Meade is on.a tour of survey, inspection and eximination throughout this military district, where lie will have muci) to learn. These dis-. tinguished persons are met in conference upon the state of affairs in South Caxo lina, and there is much of evil to exer cise aud require the utmost wisdom, and no small will, for- its correctibu. We hoar of most atropiou outrages in many places on the part of the black troops outrages of a- charycter too shocking to designate by name. For what good pur pose th-se troops are kept in the country and scattered over it, it would be diffi. cult to say. If a process were particu larly required, for defeating all the hopes of the experiment at c6nverting slave into free labor, and for driving the white population to madness, no better one could be devised. We hope that these gentlemen thus entrusted with the great and difficui work ot carrying out a most iovel'experiment at once in morals, po litics, society and labor-the most coin plicated problem, perhpps, ever suhinit ted to a people--will bring to- this con. feremice a degree of wisdom, justice anld conciliation, such as has,not hitherto been very . conspicuous iii the manage. nient of our affairs. It is true that the people of the South are a conquered ps'ople; but we have been told and have assumed, that it is no part of the plan of the Government that-they - should be treated as such. It certainly is not the policy of the Goverpment that it should be ,so. Yet o it certainly is at ire sent. We copy the above from Abie Colum bia Phcsni of the 4th inst., and would say, iti referente to "most atrocious out rages in.'niany places on the pairt of the black troops,-outrages of a characters toc shocking .to designate by ntaine," that the black troops on garrison in this tows tand Diatrict have conducted themiselves in a general view, wviti mu.ch order anc soldierly, deportment. They are undo; strictaisciplin~e, and we .hayc notheia'rd nor from our observation seen, any sed state of affairs in this District As the Phcan idesignates.

Niossary for South Carolina' To.the Edtbr of the lerd-: A9 is. I .known to you and to the Northern p0o0 ple, the slaves, of the South hove biei emancipated, and. they are no, longer subject to the control and govotniment of the white man in dev.loping. the re sources and in the production of thq great 1 staples of the South-cotton, rice, tobac- I co, lumber, &c. It is very desirable that I the South should continue to produce their staples, even in greater abundance than ever. before. It is importanb to Lhis section and equally itnportant to the Government. By the prodsuction of these great staples in abundance, 'it is very clear that the United States must be the most formidable nation ip the world. Because, in all the other resources which give strength and greatness to a nation, she surpusses all oations .on the globe, and possesses in a most eminent degree all those materials which constitute the greatness of a nation.- In consequence of the entirely disorgtinized condition of. the labor of the South, and the very great uncettainty as to w'hether the ne-. gro can be made profitabIW as a laborer, has caused many of the thinking men of this sections to come to. the conclusion, that the production of thA. great staples of the South must to a very great extent cease, unless whits labor cen be obt,ain ed te work the lands in this sec tion. It is the Vniversal deire. of the land owners to employ white labo*r on their farms and na house s'ervayts. I am ful ly satistied thbat ten thousand laborers would be impediately employed it fair prices in Abbpiville Distriet, S. C. This section of thu State is very healthy, and the lands are fertile. Tb.ere is no por tion of the State more desirable to live in, or offering greater inducements to white laborers. The labor (if the South ntust eventup)ly be enthrhv white, if it would enjoy Pnuy degree of prospe-rity. In the iminediate neighborhood of the I writer, one thousaind WNhito Inborers would be I emploved at opce at high wages ; in. fact, there never has been, .uch a pioficable fild for white emi. grants. MechaiesW of all kinds, as well as laborers, will he weloosned ; and if a sufficient supply can be o~btained, then the prosperity of the country mi st in crease ; while, if the negro is to bn reliod on to supply the wants, in the-so re. specti, of the country. then gradual but, inevitable ruin is the certaiu. destiny of the South. A railroad passes through almost every distvict of the State, and any portion of the State can be reached in forty-eight hours from the city of. New York. Withi a prosperous South, the United States will certainly control the commerce of the world. But in the gresent thoroughly disorganized eondi tion of labor, and the disinclination of the niegro to conthiume to work, the,'pros poet is inde led gloomy for the future. The supply of cotton, instead of being next year qt the maximum, will certain. ly be far below the tmmnimuin of former years. A GAu WOOD (S. C.) P.ANTICR. ou, a STEALANG. There is, no doubt, a regular gang of horse thieves in this section: Fivt, horses and mules were stolen in one night, recently, from persons living oh or near the National Ford Road. People ill the co~pntry are annoyed' very .much by p ersons seizing' horses wh'lo represent themselves as agents of the Governmen, .Our peo.plh are so anxious to comply with the dernan~ds of lawful authority. that they are disposed to suffer thlemfselVe9s to be stapon.d on rather thlan resisit what thley fregniently consider illegal acts. It is no uuncom. mon thing to see mnen h~ore from a die. tance of 40 and 60 miles in search of horses and mules which were taken from' thern by eibher real or bogus agets of the government. TIre~ auithoritues here manifest a disposition to remedy these difllculties, but it is frbquently lippossl ble to find either the stock or the per. son who seized It.-Charoie_.Tkmocrat.

TnE SIHICNANbOAI1.4-8AN TRAN0o8 jo, July 31.-The. latest account4 from ,be Shenandoah are. to the afternoon of .he 23d of June, when she was near -ape Thaddeus, steering .Noth-wsst to Nard where a fleet of sixty whalers were cnown to be previously. Capt. Nye tad left the bark Milo during a fog in , small boat, for the purpose of warning he fleet of danger. The Milo also spoke t, French whaler, which immediately 3ut away toward the fleet, having con iiderable start of the Shenandoah. While the Shenandoah was at As. :onsion Island. in April, she burned the Now London bark Pear\ the New Bed Ford ship Young Hector,. beside a San Frannisco and a.Hawaiin whaler. She ioxt burned the New Bedford bark Abi ,ail, in Ochotsk Sea, then th '2lWhpmp ion, in Kamschatka Sea, aind, thq svr ral New Bedford whaler., as rqport ed yesterday, in Adair Sea, where. she rrired oi the 20th June. It was feared that unless the French ihip's open whale boat could sncceed ii warning the fleet, all would be cap Lured, as the Shenandoah 'knew ex A.ctly where to find them. They. were hovering along the Southern edge. of the ice-frelds, drawing closer' together as the ice drifted toward Behring'x Straits, through which they were seek ing a passage to the Arctic Zone, Ias the ice permits. Darniivua Tai'xy. Ns.-A man named 1oseph Walker, ex-soldier. was brought into the office of the. Chief of Police, on Tuesday night, de'ank as Bacchus. Af ter "coming to" a little, he was put in a gell and ,ocked up. Early in the morn ing, lie was found hanging by the neck fron th9. grating of the window, having iuSed his shirt as a rope. He wats cut down before life was extinct, and was put in an6ther cell. Hero he got a nail, drove it. ii the wall, and began to drive his head against it, but the nail went into the wall still deeper, instead of into his -head ; whereupon hib took off hi$ pants, and was in the act of striiiging them ronnd his ieck when le was do. tected. Ile was then bronght into the ball aid placed under the survillanco of someoolfcers ; but, watching his oppor tunity, lie made a junp through a win dow, and lit on his head on the pave nient, receiving a deep out, which bled considerably. IHe wits then captured and ironed, and by jnd by became bet. ter, and, after anl intprview with the Qhiief, was calmed, down ayd is now coming to his senses.. Whiskey did it all.- cichmrond Wbig.

A telegram dated New York, Au gust 31, says: Intelligence upon which I fear full reliance can be placed, impels me to state that the Imperialists have forced the army of the Republicans from the Rio Grande, and are now occupying the whole country, with the exception of a small p'rtion of Chihuahpa, n which Juarez and his Government were, at last accolints attempting to make a last stand.
