"Tins Du-y CARO.INA -Truvs" is

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

twenty minutes of five o'clock.
The News further gives us the j~ifor.
Ination that tlwre are now only a (w

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. Tlidirs Jis a spirit too narrow

W. 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

We simply make this annoaucemeni
to disiabuse the mind .of our Columbir

0White abor. 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.

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.

"TIoe statement first published in

Wahington correspondents to North.
'rnijonrnals. that Governor Wells has
been appointed Provisional Governor of
this State, has not been confirmed, thus
far, by aty official noti fcatio to the

tion of hi' appointment, except what is
stated in the papers. There is a difficul

'the delay, and is a source of no little
embprrrassment. lis present. tenure

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

Juarez and his Government were, at last
