military despot of the Carolinas, he on his own authority, enacted, 1st. That negroes should sit on juries. 2d. That negroes should ride in first-class cars, and steamboat staterooms. 3d. That negroes should vote at all elections. 4th. That negroes should be eligible to all offices in the State, including that which you now hold. 5th. That no elections should be held except with his imperial permission. He also committed the following acts: 1st He degraded both the United States flag and the Charleston firemen{ by forcing the latter, [ against their uniform practice before the war, to a display and salute the former at a purely civic proF cession. 2d. He refused to obey the habeas corpus writ of the United States Court, a process so sacred to all Englishmen and Americans. 3d.'He caused Captain McNulty to be tried by a military commission (although the United States Supreme Court had solemnly declared military commissions illegal in time of peace,) and fined him heavily for not allowing a negress to crowd herself with the ladies on his boat. 4th. He tried two youths of Columbia for assaulting two mischief-makers from the North, by military commission, and sentenced them to confinement at hard labor in a fort in another State, where, I understand, they are now doing polioe duty and cooking for negro troops. 5ih. He removed an nonest magistrate in Columbia, for not over-doing his duty in the above case, and replaced him and degraded the office by appointing an ignorant negro. 6th. He interfered with our laws generally, and concerning rent, licenses, and the administration of justice, thereby almost destroying all credit 7th. He disfranchised naturalized citizens without any authority from acts of Congress. 8th. He disfranchised Military officers against tbe literal provision of the July act, as interpreted by itself. * 9th. He slandered one of the purest Equity Judges of the State, and several or our most respectable and honorable lawyers. Much eulogy has been lavished by you on Gen. Sickles for Order No. 10. Whatever may have been the temporaiy relief afforded to debtors by this extraordinary order, all levers of constitutional liberty have it forced upon their reflection, that similar laws have uniformly been pronounced by the Supreme Court of the United States to be unconstitutional, and that a law passed by our Legislature, which by no means interfered with the obligation of contracts to the extent of Order No. 10, was declared by the highest court in the State, by ten judges against one, to be violative of the Constitution of the United States. Also, that the Attorney-General of the United States, in an argument that has not been, and cannot be answered, has declared the issuing of this order to be a despotic stretch of unauthorized power. Finally, while temporary relief has been afforded to the debtors, we have the fact forced upon us, that a large class of the creditors, among whom are numbered many now destitute widows and orphans, have been great sufferers thereby. In this connection, I would ask if you do not know that the application of Order Ne. 10 to the Federal Courts, was an afterthought on the part of General Sickles; and that be did allow the process of this court to be freely executed in this S tate, until it occured to him that this court might, on proper case made, declare the July act unconstitutional and thus destroy bis super-Czaric power? I am constrained to characterize your letter as your second bid for Radical favor. Your speech m Charleston, when you ungreatly aspersed the Democratic party which gave you prominence, was your first bid. Your letter has furnished the Radical party with a pretext for the prosecution of its nefarious desicms for the ODDression of the South, I that has been seized upon with avidity by its partisan journals. While tnus opening the way for vour admission into the folds or the Black Republican party, you might at least have spared us the unwarranted calumny of stating that but for the "wisdom, moderation and forbearance" of Gen. Sickles, "a considerable number of troops would have been necessary to preserve public records, and ensure the safety of sheriffs,1 See. You well know how law-abiding are the citizens of the State thus maligned by you, and that the only riotous demonstrations made since the war have been by negroes at places where United States troops were in force. In conclusion I must say that your letter represents the sentiments of only a small class of debtors, who prefer their individual well-being to the preservation of the liberty of their country; and that all the true South Carolinians feel that General Sickles while with us, whatever may have been his personal relations to you, not only crushed out the substance of liberty, but likewise destroyed its forms.

CHARLESTON, Oct. 3.?Cotton.?The staple during the week just closed, has experienced i further decline in price, and middling upland which, ai the commencement of tho week, was quoted here at 19 cents, lias, with some fluctua tions, receded to 17i to 18 cents; Liverpool in tin same time falling from 9id. to 8id. per pound, foi middling upland, and New York from 23 to 21; cents per pound. Prices have continued, up t< this time, to drop at a rate much more rapid thai most persons had anticipated, causingsome appro hension on the part of planters and factors tha the result of the year's labor may prove very un .satisfactory*, and in many cases clisastrous. Un der the present low rates, the grower of the staph may think it to his interest to retain for a tim< whatever portion of the crop his restricted mean: may permit, but this is likely to he prevented to i great degree, by his pressing demands. The re ceipts at this point are increasing, and have beoi 22 bales of sea island and 2886 t ales of upland against ? bales of sea island and 1121 bales of up land cotton the week before. The following is a statement of the business don in the article at this port duringthe past week ; On Friday, September 27, prices were in favor o the purchaser and sellers submitted to rates ahal cent por pound lower, the operations amountinj to 172 bales, quotations closing at 18 cents pe pound for low middling, and 19 cents per pouui for middling upland. ' On Saturday, the English market having suffer ed a decline, the rates here became unsettled an* %? lower, but the sales, which were limited to 28 bales were too small in extent to indicate prices. On Monday, prices having settled down to 171c. per pound for Liverpool middling, a fair inquiry prevailed ahd buyers operated to the extent ol about 800 bales. On Tuesday, there was a good demand, sales 325 bales, prices remainingthe same as the day before, low middling being quoted at 17 cents, and middling upland at 171 cents per pound. On Wednesday, the stock being quite light and rather an active inquiry, the market was quite firm, and sellers, in some cases, secured prices from i to 1 cent per pound better. Sales 252 bales, low middling being quoted at 17 and middling upland at 171 cents per pound. Yesterday, early in the day, there was an active and spirited demand, prices advancing from 1 to J cent per pound; but later, the intelligence of a decline of Id. at Liverpool caused buyers to lower their prices, and holders had to accept rates about a 1 cent per pound down. Sales 550 bales, say 3 at 12, 1 at 13,6 at 15, 2 at 16, 7 at 161,17 at 17, 38 at 17}, 76 at 17}, 41 at 18, 7 at 184, 92 at 18}, 67 at 181, 11 at 18}, 13-at 19, and 165 on private terms. We quote ordinary to good ordinary, 16 to 161; low middling 17; middling, 171 to 18; strict middling, 18} to 181; good middling, 19 cents. Corn.?There have been no supplies of this grain received for several weeks, and the stock on hand is slowlv diminishing, the demand being confined to a light jobbing and local retail traffic. Holders are generally selling in a retail way at $1.55 to $1.60 per bushel for good to prime corn, weight, bags included. Flour.?Farmers in the interior appear to be holding back their crops of Wheat, and the supplies of Flour coming to hand are consequently quite light and prices have an advancing tendency. There continues to be a moderate demand, am! we quote Southern super at $11.50 per barrel ; , Southern extra at $12.50 to $13 per barrel; and soumorn lamuy ni ?w.ou uur uarroi. luoinuicosing price of Southern induces dealers to import Nortuern and Western brands, and we quote Super of this class at $11.50 per barrel and Extra do. at $12 50 per barrel. Bacon.?'The demand continues fair, with moderate stocks, prices during the week remaining without important alteration. We quote prime Shoulders at 15J to 16J cents per pound; prime Ribbed Sides at 181 cents per pound, and prime Clear Ribbed Sides at 19 to 191 cents per pound. Inferior meat, of which there is generally a good supply on the market, sells at rates which are too irregular to be satisfactorily quoted. Salt.?The stock of the article is light and the enquiry continues moderate. We renew our previous rates for jobbing lots?say $2.50 to $2.75 per sack. India Baooino.?The market, bv late arrivals, continues to befullv supplied with Ihis article and in consequence of tne limited extent to which purchasers confine their operations, the business none is quite moderate. We quote sales in large lots at 25 to 251 cents per yard, and in a limited way at 251 to 26 cents per yard, as in quality and size of lot. Rope.?Is in good supply, but is extremely dull in consequence of the use of Iron Ties, which appear to be seriously limiting the demand for this article. We quote Greenleaf at 14c., and inferior qualities at 11 to 13 cents per pound. Financial. YORKVILLE, October 9.?Gold, $1.40. NEW YORK. October 5.?Gold, $1,441.

(l August 1 14 tf PIEDMOJTT , LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF VIRGINIA. T3E Subscriber respectfully informs the public generally that he has accepted the Agency of the above Company, and is now prepared to issue policies of LIFE INSURANCE. The solvency of the Company is certified to by the Court Officers of Nelson county, Virginia, and is commended to those who desire to support a "Home Institution. J. A. McLEAN, At the store of J. A E. B. Stowe. THE OBJECT Of this Company is to insure Lira?not indeed to prolong life?but by paying a certain sum to the beneficiaries of a policy when you die?thereby to continue the exertions, investments and benefits of your life to your dependents, after your life is terminated. However well prepared a man may be in a spiritual point of view to meet the "king of, terrors," if he be possessed of a thoughtful mind1 and a feeling heart, he can but look with sad forebodings to that finale of his earthly career which is to deprive his fond wife and helpless children of that support ? and fosterinor care which his arm has furnished. He shudders as his mental gaze looks within the gloomy portals of the grave and leaves behind those whom he loved, as vagrants roaming the friendless, thorny paths of public charity! Yet, alas! how many do it!! when a small present outlay would gild their troublous road with ease and comfort, if spent in a Life Insurance Policy. Reader, are you not liable to this sad death-bea reflection of the unseen trials you bequeath those you leave behind, by neglecting this cheap protection which we now urge upon you? If your mind were easy on this subject; if you could feel when you "shuffle off this mortal coil" your family were provided for, you would be relieved of the carking anxiety that Alls every worthy mind at such fears: you would be better prepared to pursue your avocation with mental composure and zeal. We do not mean to assert that money can fill the place of a fond fhther, yet we do assert, what you know to be true?money will prove their best earthly friend when you are gone; and you can leave them this certain friend now while you are living. Can you?will you refuse it? Businessmen are considered rather improvident who do not insure their goods and houses against fire. Now, your house may never be burned?it may stand a hundred years; but your life cannot last so long?your "lamp of life" must burn out some day. You argue it is prudent to insure against uncertain misfortunes to your property, and yet neglect a certain event which will and must come to your body. Is this consistent wisdom and prudenoe? We admit and assert the prudence of the first, but assert the greater wisdom and necessity for the last. Ask yourself the question, are you doing right to neglect this opportunity topro viuo cuuvvuauj iua j uui miniij tu v?wu v* j viu death, while yon have it in your power? And bear in mind?now, this moment may be your last chance?death is after you! When once his "rugged scythe shall clip the brittle thread of life," the ghastly panorama of want and suffering will be opened to the sighing hearts vou took care of while you lived. Remember! only while in health?before age, with attendant diseases come upon you? before you begin to loiter in sad sickness on the verge of the grave?only while living?mentally and physically living?can you obtain a Life Insurance Policy. Life is a vast battle-field?death is always the final victor?and while we do not urge this process will disarm him of his sting, (for religion only can do that) yet it will soothe your heaving bosom to know you have provided for your family before that trying hour comes. By having your life insured you "disarm the sting" of poverty and want to them. We imagine now we hear the wail of suffering from some lone widow, while she examines the merits of this business, as her shivering group stand around her scanty fire and cry for bread: "Oh! that my husband had insured his life i If he could have foreseen my lamentablo state he would have done so. He was kind and good to all, and supposed that all would bo kind and good to us; but alas, how mistaken! He fjrovided well for us while living; but if he had naured his life, its benefits would have continued to us now." Do not say this is a fancy sketch, for many such a scene has really existed. JOHN R. ALLEN is the Agent of the above Company at Chester. October 10 24 tf (py- Of every 9000 pernon*, Id ooe year, 69 will be dead; In ten years, 588; In twenty yean, 1078. Such Is the a rente of human mortality-^) THE ARLINGTON MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY, OF VIRGINIA, RECENTLY organized with abundant capital, and controlled"by some of the most competent business talent of Richmond, Va., offers to INSURE LIVES, upon terms as liberal as any other Company in the Union, either upon the participating, non-participating, cash, or part note system. The insecurity of property, ana the uncertainty of life, appeal powerfully to every man upon whom devolves a family for support, to invest a part of his income in some permanent way, to provide for them after bis death. The following are examples showing the annual premium upon siouuioriiie: Arc. Annual Prem'm. Age. Annual Prcm'm. 20 $13 80 45 .... $29 00 25 15 80 50 35 20 30 18 30 55 44 80 35 21 20 60 67 80 40 24 80 65 72 10 Thus, a mere pittance of a man's annual income will provide a competent fund for the support of his family in the event of his death.
