. Prentice on Slavery. " Prentice, in'the Louisville Journal, comes out strong in favor of ratifying tlie constitutional amendment abolishing, slip very'-yet while he docs so, he docs not . deny tho scripture authority for slavery". Hear him'-': "We do not believe, we never did believe, the relation o'f master and servant to be in itself wrong. How could we, indeed, Without turning . infidols and -denying tho .whole biblical records ?? Abraham was tho father of the faithful," and yetr Abraham owned m*>re than three hundred slaves capable. of bearing arms, and must have owned, .-thercforo, all told, about fifteen hundred! If slavery, of itself, is the '-sum of all in-. iquityV' then Abraham, and not Satan, was the father of it all. ' In saying this wc defend.none of the abuses of the system, wc never did de fend.any of them, and wo never will de? fend any of them. Its abuses do not nec? essarily form any part of it, and" they have long been deplored and denounced by tho best men of the South. ? This is plain and outspoken. Put why would ho abolish ?lavery ? Let him speak for himself; ? But because we da not' believe the re: lation of master and slave is a sin\n itself, is that any reason why we should contin ue to retain the system under the circum? stances that have arisen against our in-' / terests? * If a man has a 'vicious dog, is ? it'not best to despatch him? If one has ? a korso that has become, unmanageable and a nuisance; isn't it best to get rid of him 1 or must hebe retained- simply be? cause his retention is not moralTy wrong ? '-We deal with slavery as we would with any other civil institution. When^ar.y institution, through the progress of even ts, ; becomes a means of weakness and fastens ? clog upon our onergies, hampering' crrrr prosperity and creating feuds.and various mischiefs, it becomes a high aiid impera? tive duty to cast it off and rid ourselves ? of it as a nuisance and an abomination. "We are not willing to go the length he 'does in these assertions; but we must concede that slavery is now an extinct in? stitution, and out\pQople should' make up thev^'minds to realize "the fact and suit their conduct to the emergencies ?f the - hour.?Macon Telegraph. ? -o From (he Columbia Phoenix.

A DAY OF PiEASURE. For weeks past it has been announced through our columns that a kind-hearted gentleman of this vicinity would give "a Barbecue to the surviving members of the Palmetto Riflemen, and on last "Sat? urday a majority of the Company, with a goodly number of friends of both sexesj repaired to the designated spot. The ex? orcises of the day are graphically por? trayed by the facile pen of a lady corres? pondent, and to that account we refer the 'reader who may be interested. Certain? ly, however, there never was an assem? blage of the kind. here, or elsewhere, which was more completely enraptured with the pleasure.;" of the day. Li many respects, too. it was a sad meeting?near three score ot the devoted band- had giv? en their lives in the late struggle, and the survivors .could not but; feel a lingo of melancholy that so many of their com? rades had fallen victims to The relentless god of war. But whilst paying due respect.lo-their memories-and feeling the full force of their absence from the scene; the day was unalloyed with other cause of regret, and bright beaming faces strove .to dispel shadowy gloom and despondency. How far this was accomplished, our fair friend lias justly delineated, and to her we raako our humblest bow for ths geni? al picture. GEN. WADE HAMPTON. This distinguished citizen, who has pro? ven his courage and devotion to the Stale .on so many hard-fouglit'flelds, and whose brilliant career in war won for him hosts of warm admirers, has lately written a letter in response to numerous inquiries made of him regarding the establishment of a colony in South America While disclaiming any such intention at present on his part, he takes occasion to offer some practical and sound advice to the people of the State,?s to taking the oath of allegiance and electing members to the Convention. We make room for the fol-J lowing extracts: i: My advice to all <>f my fellow-citizens is, tliat tho}* should" devote, their whole energies to the restoration of law and or? der, the re-establishment of agriculture and commerce, the promotion of educa? tion and the rebuilding of our cities and dwellings which have'been laid in ashes. To-accomplish these objects?the highest that patriotism can conceive?I rccotn mond I hut all who can do so should take the oath of allegiance to the United States Government, so that they may participate in the restoration of civil government to our State. War. after four years of'hcro ic hut unsuccessful struggle, has failed to secure to us the rights for which we en? gaged in it. To save any of bur rights? to rescue anything more from the general ruin?will require all the statesmanship and all tho patriotism of our citizens. If the.best men of our country?those who. for years past have* risked their lives in her defence?refuse to take the oath, they will be excluded from the councils of the State, and its destiny will be committed of necessity to those who forsook her in her hour of need, or to those wlio would gtadly pull her down to irretrievable ruin. To guard against such a calamity, let all j trucpatriots devote themselves, with zeal and honesty of purpose, to the restoration [ of law, the blessings ot peace and to the rescue of whatever of liberty may bo saved from the general wreck. '"A distinguished citizen of our State? an honest man and true patriot?has been appointed Governor. He will soon call a convention of the people, which will be charged with the most vital interests of our State: Choose for -this convention your best and truesf men; not those who have skulked in the hour of danger?nor those who have worshipped Mammon, while their conn try was bleeding at cvciy pore?nor the politician, who, after urg? ing war, dared not encounter its hardships ?but those whp laid their all upon the altar of their country.. Select such men, and male them serve as your representa? tives. You will then be sure that your wghls will not .be wantonly sacrificed, nor your liberty bartered for a mess ot poUa-e.^_. S: ^ '_ For the. Intelligencer. RARBECITETO THIS PALMETTORIFLE MEV. Saturday, July 29th, 18G5, will ever be held in pleasant remembrance by the .members of the "Palmetto Riflemen" and their friends, and the noble generosity of Mr". Crawford Keys, of Anderson District, be regarded, with lasting emotions of grat? itude. To him belongs the Credit of first striving to dissipate tin.! clouds of gloom and despondency which had settled down i upon the people of this community, and oftendering tho first tribute of welcome to some of our brave citizens, since their re? turn from the wars! True, its end has been most unfavorable to our arms, most chilling to our hopes, and most galling to our pride, after all wc had dared and en? dured; but brave Southern* men have the consciousness of knowing they acted ?well their parts in tho struggle, and deserve as much honor and gratitude'as if they came crowned with laurels of victory, to the sound of martial music, with banners floating and shouts of triumph!' Under such circumstances there would of course have been more joy in the hearts of their countrymen to prompt ovations; but thchsninnly courage and endurance must be rewarded, nevertheless, though all has ? .seevied in vain ! We must learn to bear our calamities with cheerful resignation, knowing we were overpowered b}' supe? rior numbers and appliances of warfare, and thatan overruling Providence, which decreed this great revolution in society, may cause us yet to sec that all has end? ed for tiie best. ?'Lot us live -ridi die hope of .1 bottpr day coining, Tlioug!* dark be our drcarna lor awhile, 1 Fur there's joy iu die thought ufa brighter dij duwuin/, Then welcome our Xale v. iih a smile 1*' ? But*! am to describe the first ovation given to our Soldier.* in this immediate section of the country. As it was the generous design ot but one individual, of course the invitations wer? more limited than may yet be in future celebrations of the kind. The Palmetto Riflemen .was the firs' Company organized iu our village and vicinity, and included most of the flower of our chivalry! They were among I lie first to marclt to the rescue of Virginia and the hist to leave her bloody fields of victories and defeats unnumbered ; hut their proud career Will be given in f?ll? detail by the chosen orator of-the* occn-' sicn, in another column. Yet they must ever remember, that every record bore its deepest impress upon the hearts of loved ones at home; how in caeh buttle the list of killed and wounded thrilled the anxious ones, and how fair fingers toiled to supply . their wants,?arid how many' prayers were offered for llicir welfare. And now the}* have returned?but a scat? tered remnant,?one-half at least of the original Company buried in their last, long sleep, to respond nevermore to earth? ly greetings ! They may have inherited a far more glorious reward, and await their Comrades and friends in far happier scenes of peace and joy than earth ran ever af? ford. Let this urge us on to new hopes and new.duties in tho life to come. On that bright, summer morn the Pal? metto hoys, with their families and friends.thronged together at the hospita? ble mansion of Mr. Keys, two miles from town, and assembled ncath the pleasant shade of poplar and maple trees, and by tho bright waters ".of his- bold, beautiful spring, to enjoy the social rc-uuuion, the ?words of eloquence and beautiful repast in? cident to the occasion. The burning sun of July, which had seemed to wither all veg? etation and animal life for weeks past, was forgotten, and the pleasant breeze and rising clouds promised greater enjoy? ment, .' There was po longer a martial array of armed men in suits, of grey, but sober cit? izens, clad in emblems of ?domestic indus? try* and economy, and with serene, peace-' ful brows., as though they had never worn thc-scowl of death-dealing warriors, nor suffered almost as martyrs in their coun? try's cause. ' Thank Heaven, that all this is over, ayd we may rejoice in peace and security once more, however different from our anticipations. The old and young were there, united in a happy band, prepared to sympathize and rejoice together in all things. It seemed, at first/ there was a feeling of timid reserve among the soldiers, who hesitated in attempts at gallantry, haying been so long removed from more refined society; and indeed the ladies, who had struggled so long for their comfort and cheer, and whoso hearts had suffered most, no doubt felt themselves almost for? gotten and slighted.^ Yet gradually the genial spirit of mirth crept in, and there were pleasant groups scattered over tho well-cleared, well-seated grounds prepared to hear the orators of the occasion. Lieut. James A. Hoyt, an officer of the Company until disabled by a severe and most honorable wonnd, was introduced to the audience by the first Captain of tho Company, Maj. James II. "Wh'itner, in a few quiet remarks appreciative of the ' occasion. Then followed tho clear and graphic narrative given by Mr. Hoyt of the career of the Palmetto Riflemen in* the late war. His calm', chaste effort was succeeded by calls for a brother-in? arms, Lieut. Warren I). Wilkcs, a mcm ocr of the same Regiment from the outset and a participator in the same stirring scenes, with his impassioned outburst of more general interest. The war* spirit still flashed from his eyes as he alluded to the glorious days t>f victory in which they had commingled, and the memories of Manassas. Sharpsburg, Richmond,Fred-* ericksburg, Seven Tines, Chickamauga, and many more, caused everyone present tothrill with the familiar tcclingS of those days, when grief and anxiety, tii?niph and fear, swelled our hearts with con? tending emotions. " Though . dark may be the close of our national records, yet these days must ever be emblazoned on living tablets in the temple of Fame,, if not in mortal in immortal records, with the names of their heroes I" The gallant ?deeds of this Company, connected with the famous Palmetto Sharp Shooters, can never be forgotten; " nor can the noble devotion of Southern women ever cease its influence,"' was the tribute with which the eloquent speaker concluded. After conversation had become'general, and the fine improvements, and pure, limpid waters c-f the. ever-flowing fountain of Nature, been fully noted, as - different groups would refresh themselves in the cool grotto around the Spring.?alPprc ccederl to partake of the generous feast spread on tables near by. provide! by Mr. Keys and a few other kind citizens, glad of the opportunity to contribute a mite to the grateful enterprise. There was a rich and templing variety of barbceifcd meals of the finest quality and quantity, plenty of nice breads, tomatoes and pota? toes in .abundance, and ample appetites to appreciate it all ! Then followed a desert of cool and luscious melons, bright green and red or fragrant, yellow-tinted melons, that tempted all to indulgence, and to gratitude to the Giver of all g>od gifts and to the providers of this ample collation I ? . Soon after this the crowd began to dis? perse, mostly to assemble at the residence thrown open for dancing and other amuse? ment, which were freely and generally participated in, without that stillness sometimes assumed where mixed crowds arc thrown together. A stringed band, w ith nntiring energy,' lured on L-ic dan? cers to trip in'light, fantastic measure::, affording natch amusement to (he specta? tors., whilst songs t?'lhc piano, and mer? ry groups engaged ini con*, creation or lor tiine-te.'ling'.gave variety to the scene. Thus passed the long. suntiyj evcr-to bc-.rejnbered day, until the shades of ens? uing Warned us that it. too. was ended, like all sublunary things of joy or sorrow. Vet amongst (he man)' agreeable emo? tions produced, all united no doubt7.. in? voking blessings upon the kind -and ge;r erou.ii host and hostess, with their gallant sons and daughter fair, and upon the bravo survivors of the Palmetto Rifle? men.
