There is in it no provision whatever fot excuses from serving, ex eep1t sickness, no matter if a citizen be serving on fihe Jury nr travelling out. of the State on muster dfay, so that, thore is no chance of respectable white people, who will siloply con intmplinously p;iy the fines, escaping the unjut extortion of an additional Iax thitus levicd upon thei by requir img of them a moral impossibility I hat. is, that they should assemble awl drill with, ot under the command of negroes. ' This iequisition is a siimplo ontiage upon the well-known sent. ment. of an uniesisting, tax-paying coll)III1nlity, lperpetirated for election eerm11g puIr'oes, in order, by poromis. ing more to intoxicated Uultee than sober eomnion sense approves, to turn his poor hcad with dreana of military glory, and secure his solid vote for p,artisan purposes. The militia al ways was ;n elect.ioneering humbug. This feature survives. What need have we of a militia now ? I lad it not bcon better to allow the State to go on peaccably, and not exasperate our passions by unnecessa ry demands upon tho pationce and forbearance of the tax iaying white minorily of the State I Our black citizens w ill simply bo made, by unne e.lury military drills, moro idle and lwless and conceited, and to tbo ox 4tnt that this happeim, there will bo less harmony and poaco in the State. Wlint unnecessary folly I No direct collision, however, it is clear to us, wiil come directly and im edialtlg fromt this particular law, what,over be its tilti,nate result or its Wocessary tendency. Perhaps this calmt1 statement of opinion does not .uit some. We simply cannot help that. It is our convictiou, and the people being aneasy upon that partie uli- point, we feel it our duty to say so, Our counsel is, simply to disregard all military orders to muster, and the whole thing as it now stands, with contempt. Thc question as (. whether the whites should unite in resisting payment of the military fines of "one dollar for each day" that tly re'"use to muster, that will thus 4corue, is one for the first of March, .18470. These lines, which will result fronm. reqjuirinig brick without giving straw, are so clearly the simp)llest v'exat ion and extortion, that, itf the h,egislature (does not, at its ntext sea 51ion, reconisider the who,lc subject and remiiit t hemi, a very formidable comibi.. nat ion to resist their payment may re suIt. 1'erhaps, the p~arty pu rpose having beeni served, a negroc militia created, negroc eaptains, colonels and hi igadiers, and some white oflce-seek inig lieutenants having been appointed, negroe intoxicat.ion thius secured, and the negroc vote kept solid and united, the Legislature may modify the law next winIer, and remit the flnes, in order to conciliate tax-payers to the creation of' numerous additional un necessary oflics, andl to provide an additional half-million, by taxation, for the patyment of the salaries of the samein. Whether, however, this addi t ionaul half million will be mentionodin ihe appropriamtion biil,or the accident ail omission will afterwards be coohly nuppl ied by Reuben, T1oml inson & 'o., who now undertake to collct an ex tra ' qurter of a mill ion that the liegislature forgot to provide for', (and why they don't, collect a whole million extra at on1c, is a mystery to us. for the people would pay it,) re mnains to be seotn. We will simply have to wait and( see how this inter esting point will be decided :next winter. 'TilI then, felhow-citizens, keep cool.

The University can be sustained for purposes of public good to all clasmes of the State in onc way only, and that is, by an authoritativo and conciliato ry announcement on the Iart of the present Board of Trustees as to the policy they propose to pursue in its m11anagement. Leading Republicans now have an opportunity of showing the extent to which they are willing to consult. the tvishes, and if they do sire the word. the prejudices of that Class of citizens of South Carolina, who alone are in condition at present to send students to college. In our palimicsi, days, this number war, very Sm11all, for a college education is a niost expenive thing ; and now it is inuch sinaller, as the number of pu. pils in attendance on all of our litera ry institutions clearly proves. Now, if thc Present Board of Trustees will n1ake public a resolution, that, con sideting the present condition of our society, they will not regard or exe cute the law as it stands, and will not. placo colored professors, or insist up on colored students, in the State Uni versity, the only class deeply interest ed in the matter at present., will take noto of it, and send their sons there, instead of out of the State, and the whito property-bold,rs will be thus brought, by a prudent ioderation, to favor the establishment of another in stitution for colored students, when they and their parents are prepared, a few years hence, to take advantage of the expensivo and ofien doubtful privilege of a college education. True statesmanship will look at this matter as it is, not as,from a republican standpoint, it might be thought that it ou&I Io be. The benefits of the com mon schools will scon be enjoyed most ly by the colored people, who will pay but a portion of the taxesnecessary to their support. The benefits of the $50,000 appropriation and the capita. tion tax, go to thom this very year. Let the bonofit of the higher institu. tion of learning be publicly pledged by the party in power to the exclu sive use of the whites, as a compro niso and act. off, say for five years to come. At the end of that time, morc H'~" "1 have boon thrown upon the prttevd wtarling of the educational department of the State government, and in organizing "the State Normal School,' authorized and commanded "within five years," by the constitu tion, a scheme of separating races can be proposed that wvill harmonise the entire State. TIheo distinction of color is not of man's making or choice, but of God's creation and appointment, and we whites, who belong to the minority race in South Carolina, and have little hope) at present of ruling the 8tate,pro pose to recognise the Almighty's deC eree of separation, and to keep to our selves, with becoming modesty and dignity, in all matters of education. If thme ruling miajority really mean what they say, that they will not de ny us the privilege of studying along with their children, the future legisla tors and office-holders and rulers of the State, still It is best for us to remem ber that "famnilarity leads to con-. tempt," and avoid too close an inti macy with people born to a different destiny ini thes future than ourselves, they to levy and appropriate, while we pay the taxes. We should feel truly grate ful perhaps for this liberal ity of sentiment on the part of our colored rulers, but yet we should be cautious of the disastrus consequences that the kind intentions of friends have sometimes brought upon their unfortunate object. We are an uin pretending inority. We cannot for a moment forgot it, and we wish to keep to ourselves, therefore, for a while at least. We modestly desire, that the greatness of associating in the same schools and colleges with the ruling class, be not too hastily thrust upon us. Since we pay a large por tion of the Laxes, we demand, (it may be whimsy, yet we demand,) that our children be allowed schools and cot logos of their own. We are willing, too, to be content at firsb with native teachers, and of ouar own race and col. or. When we grow up Into a desire for colored teachers, we will apply for them. Fastinaa lente. At present, we would rather feed on the milk of radicalism than be surfeited with "strong moat" upon our' Grst timid entrance upoft our untried career of "a now lfo" under 'a trumly ,republ can form of Government." We are feamrful and doubtful, amnd diffident. We feel the need of gradual training and edification in the. now light. TIhecre may be some show and pretence of frecdaan anrd faih. dang toa.. us in permitting us full equality at once with the ruling class, but we do not now demand it, and things boibg as they are, and not as perhaps they ougt to be, our. asoirations being humble, there being very little prac. tical liberty and substantial justice in this matter of public oducation, if we, the unpretending, unenlightened and innocently difident, minority, are not permitted to act with regard to it, upon the Diutlimanti common s0nse rule.

ScotR very coolly tells us, "that $1,230,000 which has ben us%ise'" contrary to the express provision of tile law, is -equivalent, umtaking &llowancef fo de fiulkrs. to the amount prescribed by the law." The question arises, what defaulters ? Reflect upon it, fellow citizens.

What will be the amount of Comptrol Icr GOnoral Neagles' default ?

If he has law to assoss 1,230,000, why convene the Legislature ? Evidently lie knows that lie has io law on hil side but the law of bare-facod impudence. The courts cannot decide but one way, and if our people do not resist so vile a preeadent, they are the most abject of slaves. Suppose an addition al half million haid been nssessed to al low for defaulter.. What then ? What rascality there must be in the administration that calculates upon such an amount of corruption I Again, if it were so, that one-fifth of the people or South Carolina (what a vile indictment is this that Involvea every fifth man ?) should prove in de fault in paying their taxes, ought the other four-fifths to be bullied Into paying their portion for them i Sup pose that A. B. C. D. and E. each contract a debt at a grocery store of $100, and suppose that A., at the end of the year, don't pay his haund red dollars. W~hore is the justice, law, or comnoin sense, in the grocer charging $25 of it on the bill of oeh of the other four who are willing to pay their hundred ? Mr. Scott would, doubitless, make a fortune in such a grocery store. We would certainly patronise him ourselves, with the pre vious unde-ratanding. htowever, that, we were to be the flrth moan, whose ac count was to be distributed, with the utmost impartiality by his Board of Equalir.ation, over the 'bills of the othe or non-resisting and punctually-paying four I If, according to Scott, Moses, junior, surpasses Calhoun, McDuffio and P'reston, in elognence and wis dom, surely after such a brilliant scin tillation as this letter on taxation, none can doubt the assertion of Mos os, junior, made upon the same memo rable third, that Scott 15 A JV.wEr.r. in the diadenm of South Carolina."

In one of your late editorials you remark, that ''it is useless for the whites to hope to control the negro vote in South Carolina, for the radi cals will always promise thle negro more than conservative citizens are disposed to grant," and you go on to say, that "you are niot, therefore, 60 hopeful as somec are, of the whites soon getting possession of the control of the 8tate Legislature." While acknowledging in part the apparent t,ruth of your position, I am disposed to think it somewhat extreme, and not justified altogether by the facts. Look at Virginia. The glorions con servatIvo triumph there, seems to in. dicato, that the negroes are not all so blind -to their beat interest., as to eherlsh the antipathy of taco, and that some of thoto do desire a restoration of harmony and good feeling. More. over, it proves, that there is a body of conservatim es, bQb blc ad 11 white, in the present radical party, %nd that, if the white minorityl will >Mly work to bring about a coalii ion with them, better rulers and better government would result to this, as well as to every other Southern State, lust as has happened in Virginia. There are Mr. Editor, divisions as to measures and as to men in the re publican party, both in federal and Stato politio8. There are conser ives, as well as radiuals,*among them, Looking at the black majority al we know it to exist, and at the way it is managed to our discomrort, aro Ahore not questions of State poliny, <n1h a[ txationl, the militin and edu mlion, 1upon which we, tho wh1i(o mi aority could devulip a docided split in the republican party, by pledging to theronservatires that may be in it )ur influenco and votes to lift then to power and place ? By choosing can. dlidates from aniong them, may we rot make our inf/t:nce felt in the very iext election I I think so. Namies sometiino give point to an irgunment., though they just as often unfortunately raiso a .violent and un. reasoning prejudice against it. I ihall venture upon nanic;, by way of Illustration. We know that Judge Drr and Chief Justico Moses are con. iervativo and atabitious. Supposo that the first be token as our candi. date for Governor, and the socond as our choice for the United Statei Sen ate. Cardoza, too, is roasoiable, though colored. Ile is bottor than Bowen, and could be elected to Con gress over him, by the whito vote of Obarleston supported by a portion of the republican party there. Let this be the general compromiso : cyou consorvative republicans, givo us bet. ter State Legislators, and measures more suited to the present condition of our Society, by uniting with us in electing the next Legislature, and we, who have hitherto been known as un reconstructed Democrats, will accept your lead, and give you the influence of our encouragement and our votes." Such a course, Mr. Editor, might not gratify those proud and angry passions that have been wounded by defeat and subjugation, but it would greatly lessen the growing insolence of a triumphant faction, by a continu al suggestion of prudence, and by the exhibition of a perpetual threat against those, who dare abuse party triumphs to the grief of the minority, whose,ndidnation they will continue to despise, n1il' it proves its power to pull down and punish the most bit ter of its enemies by casting its influ onceo ad votoO upon more moderato men, If we pursuo the plon of run ning, at first, only conservative repub licans for office, until they learn to appreciate our friendship, and east their votes and influence with us, as we first have done with thorn, I am not without hopes that iIhe tohdies canI control the negrec vote, to such an ex tent at least, as will scure them wiser rulers and more acceptablo laws, and thus obtain the advantages and the reputation of COMalON SENSE.

When, recently, ho asked for a settlement, the ofiloer would pay him but five dollars a month, lie complained of such treatment but it was of no avail, and ho deteirmined to leave at once for California to escape, as he said, 'such a sot of thieves.'" Ioclip the above from the South Carolina RepubLican. of the 26th June. Can't you nail the falsehood to the counter? or is it worth the tack ? Respectfully, Consa ta. The above remarkable statement is but a tissue of falsehood fronm the be ginning to the end, Ao far as the Char lotte Road is concerned. No Finland, or has been employed by this compa ny at any price The wages of com mon laborers Is more than dlouble five dollars per month on this road. The ration has never been less than a peck of meal, three pounds of bacon, with salt and vegetables at times; and no laborer has ever been asked to take less than the wages agreed upon when the service has boen performed. This company never gave corn as a ration to men in its em,ployment. The pulcto fsuch wilfulmirp entation can only orginat iba motives.
