Governor Orr,
WXe publish to-dlay a most admirably
prepared letter (.o.*Gov. Orr in protect
against hisi official comiiiomdtion of Gen.
Sickles' ndinisit rat ion.
Certainly if Gov. Orr conscientiously
enterltains lhe opimon lie expresses of
his representative character in this rc
lation, lie is strangely mistaken and it
is proper that lie should( 1)e nnidecived.
Wo believe that the letter of Col.
Wood ward, a former imemnber of the
Laegislature,and a gentleman of inlnene
in this District, conveys the deliberate
anid univ'ersal sentiment, of this comnmuni
ty.
W;,h the exception of' General Orders
No. 1 0 from which we dissent-but.
which is probably approved by a ma
jority of (lie peoplec Of this State-and
upon which thmeroforo it may niot be pro0
per to imipeach him, his whoile admninis
trationi has been regarded as harsh,
and despomte, and a succession of uisur
pations and atl'ronts to a conquered and
unresisting peophle.
Col. WVoodward's letter surveys in
series the ofilcial acts of Gein. Sicklos'
administration, and we will not pass
over the ground again; but we recall
Geon. Sickles' harsh, wilful and arbi
trairy order making a Gesslomrs' hat of
the U. 8. flag and requiring the peo
plo of Charleston to iiako obeisance
before it, and lia insult to an upright
and pure judicial oflicer of the State
and the honorablo geuitloemen assooiat-t

will occur to atiy one familiar writh his
career-torminating at the last with .
