Gentlemen : I bad the honor of re? ceiving -from the President of the United States, the following telegraphic despatch, on the 28th of Oetober last: . u To D.F. :Perry) Provisional Governor.: "Your laut two despatches have been received and the pardons Buggested have been ordered. ? "I hope your .legislature will .have no. hesitation in adopting the amendment to the' Constitution of the United States, .abolishing slavery. It will set an exam? ple which will, no doubt, ho followed by the other~Statee, and place South Caroli? na In a most favorable attitude beforeVthe ination. I. trust in God that "it will be *ono. The nation and. State will then be 'left free ana "untrammeiledto take that course which sound policjr, wisdom and ' humanity may suggest. "ANDEEW JOHNSCW, "President t)-.S:" ' Three days afterwards I 'received tho following .telegram from the president, dated ' ?? Washington, Oct. 31; 1865. "To B. F. Perry, Provisional Governor: "There is a deep interest felt as to what course the Legislature will take in regard to the adoption ot the amendment] to the ?Constitutip,h'of the United States, abol-' ishing slavery, and the assumption of the - debt created to aid in the rebellion against the Government of the United States. If the action of the Convention was in good faith, why hesitate in making it a part of the Constitution of the United States ? I trust in God that the restora? tion of the Union will not bo defeated, ar.d all that jiaSj bo far,~ been, weft- done, thrown away! I.still have faith that all will cpmo out rigtftyet. This opportutii ty.ought to be understood and .apprecia-. ted by the people of tlie,Southern States. If I-know-my o^wn neart, and-every pas? sion which enters it, is to restore the bles? sings ?f the.Union and tie up and heal; evory bleeding wound which, has been caused by this fratricidal war.. , Let us ? bo-guided by love and- wisdom from on high, ancLunion and peace will once more reign throughout the land. "? "iNDREtf JOHNSON." To'thcse, telegraphic despatched, I re-' plied that th'o war dcht of South Carolina was Very inconsiderable; that our. whole State debt, tit this.time, was only about 6,000,000-; and" this was mostly incurred', anterior to. tho war, in constructing rail? roads and building arenew State house, wibh an old debt of long standing; 'that wo had assumed 'hp portion of the Con* federate debt and were responsible in no way for itr The expenditures which the State had incurred up to a certain'period had all been settled aud refunded by tli? ? Confederate States.' I stated that South Carolina had abol? ished slavery in good faith, and never in? tended-or wished to rcstbro it; that the Legislature waa then considering a wise just and humajie^eystcni of laws 'for *the' government and protection' of the frcod men, in all their rights' of person and property; and that there was no objec? tion to. tho adoption .of the proposed ajnendtnent to the. Federal Constlfciitign, except an apprehension that'Congress might,/und*r the second section of that amendment, claim the right to legis lato lor,the negro, after slavery was ribolishoW. I likewise stated/that no official ndtico had ever been* received by tho Legisla? ture, of the proposed vamendment to tfio Constitution of the "United States. In reply to this despatch,-1 received, yesterday, the following telegram from t^e Sccrroiry of State, dated WASHtNGTON, Nov. 6, 1805. ?To His Excellcjicy -& F. Perry, Provis? ional Governor So'utJi Carolina : "Your, despatch, to the President, of November 4, has Boen, received. He is not entirely satisfied with the explana? tion it contains. He deems necessary the passage of adequate ordinances, dcclar--; irjg that all insurrectionary proceeding* lu the Sttate unlawful and void ab initio. "Neither the Constitution nor the hiws. direct official information to the. States of' amendments to- the Constitution submit? ted by 'Congress: Notice of the amend? ment, by Congress, abolishing slavery, was nevertheless sent by the Secretary of State, at the'time, to the States , which were then in communication with this Government. Formal notic'o will ironic-' diitteiy be given to these States, which, were then in -insurrection? * "The objection which you mention, to* last clause, of the Constitutional amend? ment, is regarded as'querulojis anch unrea? sonable, because th*at clause is really re* straiiing in**its effects, instead of enlarg? ing the power of Congress. ? ' - - ? "Tho Pacsident considers, ?ho accep? tance bf.the araondmcufj.by South Caro? lina, as indespensable to a restoration of her relations with the other States of tho Uni?ti. > ?WM. H. SEWARLV'., " This formal notice of tho--proposed ?amendment to the Constitution of the United States has "not yet been recoived J\Jfhen it is, I. will communicate the same" to ypir? ?Tlie amendment may be seen hi the Acts of the last Congress, and is in these wortts: "Neither slavery nor involuntary ser? vitude, except ris a-ptinisbment for crime, ! whereof the party shall haVo been ' duty convicted, shall exist within the limits of the United States, or any plac*. Subject t<* their jurisdiction. ."Sec 2. Congress shaH- have power to enforco this articlo by appropriate-IcgiSla-. tibu,"?Approved Feb. 1, 1805. "A few-dayTTsinco, I addressed a com? munication to Jtfr. Sewawi^ S?crotarv*of State, by mail, in which I repeated and enlarged on the views pre.viQjwIy express? ed to the President, in - refcrenco'to the objections which wero entertained in South Carolina to the proposed Constitu? tional amendment, lam happy to find ?that tho Secretary of State does not re? gard those objections as well founded, but considers them-"querulous and unreas?n able." I? is true, that a plain, honest construction of the .language of the amendment would be, that slavery was I abolished in the United States, and that Congress should simply enforco it. When : this was done, their legislation would bo ! ended. - They could not attempt, under the authority given by this amendment, to pass laws for H>c government of the I "frcadmcn/' in their free state. The At-' *.'??*': ' ... .'tornoy-Gjeiicral'^f the United States and tho President have both been understood as concurring in this opinion*. It w'?uld, therefore, be Well,! in adopting the pro? posed amendment, to place on record the construction which had been given to it by tiie jExecutivo Deprartmont of the* Federal Government' ? ? It is mairifcstj ftxrtti -the xaimcst, elo? quent and patriotic terms in which the President has urged the* adoption of this ?amendment, that ho regards, as he says, "all"that South Carolina has done?and so well done?as thrown awayr unless the ameridmont'is accepted by theJ Legisla? ture. Tho Secretary of State is stfill more explicit m ? his language. He ?isays ."the President considers' the acceptance of the amendment by South Carolina as indis? pensable to a restoration of her relations with the otheK States of the Union." The reason wEy this exaction is made*of the Southern States, after they have abol? ished slavery, isi that they might other? wise, at some future* day, chang? their Conotitutions and restore slavery, in de? fiance of the Federal Govcrpment.. You, gentlemen, have, at this time, the destiny of the State in your hands/ and and I feel assnffed that you will act calmly amf dispussiomitely, with tlie view to the peace, bappino'es and wcliibeing of South Carojina. - I addr?gsed a communication .to the Secretary of the Treasury- at Washington, a fe'w drys since, urging that, inL oase the Legislature shoyld assume the payritent of that portion of the direct tax for which South Carolina ift liable, that the Federal Government should recive her bonds for the same, or suspend; the collection Of the tax for the present year. I would advise the immediate assumption, by the State, of her portion of th o direct tax, which is about *3Gtf,000.; This will-relieve th^peo ple from the immediate payment of ;it to tho federal Tax Collectors, and enable the State to make some arrangements in re? ference to it with the "Treasury Depart ment or Congress.. In my communicafion.^o tho SfclcrStary of State, I urged the propriety, of with; drawing the colored troops fronAhe in? terior ofthp State to-the forts or sea-coast, and requested that white troops "might, for the pveeent, be retained in Charleston, Georgetown and Beaufort. I have forwarded" tho resolution ?you sent me thebthjer day, in reference to the school In Charleston, to Gen. Howard, and asked that they should be restored to the proper authorities. I made the samo request in .regard to the Military Hall in Charleston. B. F..PERRY. . -:-^+7T.-.'. . ... ?? Another Letter from Bill Arp. " Bill Arp," who lately*? made a very happy hit-, in a letter to Artcmus Ward, has written the following in the Bame strain on t^ho stftte of the country: n? 'From the Jtomc Courier. BILL ARP ON TUE STATE Ol* TUE COUNTKY. "Street laud-of Libcity, of thee Ising." . . Not much I don't, not at* this time.* If there's atfything sweet about liberty in this pact ot the vlnoyafd, I can't see it. Tho land's good eriuf, and I would'nt mind hearin a- hyme or 'two about "the dirt I live on, but as for findin sugar and liberty irr Geqrgy soil, its all* a mistake, ilowsumever,. I'm hopeful. I'm much calmer and sereener than-1 was a few months ago." I begin to feel kindly to? wards all people, exoeptf some. I'm now endeavor in to -bo a grent national man. I've taken up amottOcof no .North, no Sduth, no East,'no West; but let ;.me tell you, my friend, I'll bet on Dixie as long as I've got a dollar. Jts no harm to run both, sked ales. Infokt its highly harmo ?nious to do so. I'm a good Union rcb,. and- my battle cry are Dixie and the Uniojj. ~ -But you sco, my frond,-wo are gettin restless abouj some things. The war had ?bekuiri nrity heavy on us, and after the big coWttpse wo thought it was over for good.. We lutd killed folks and killed.folks until the iioveity*f.the.tiling bad wore off, and we were ratty nigh played out all ovor. Children were increasin and vitteJs dimiu ishin. By a close calculashun it was pur soevedjthat we didn't kilhour enemies as fast as they were imported, ?ind about those times 1 thought it was a pity that somo mirakle of grace hadn't cut off the bre*d Of formers some eighteen or twenty years ago. " Then you would have seed *a 'foil* fight. General Sherman wouldn't have walked over the track, and Ulyses would havo killed more men than he did-H>/f./i?s.0tcM side. I have arwaya^tbot that a General ought to he pertikler which.side 6c was sacrifisin.. * iyell, if the war ieTover, what's the use of- fillinup our towns and cities with sol? diers any longer; Where's your rekon stniittion that tho papers say is g-jih oh so .rapidI}-.? ? Whero's* the liberty and freedom f The fakt is, GcneraUShcrman and lus caterpillers made sich a clean .sweep of everything, I don't see much to rekonstrukt. They took so many liber tics around-here that thcro's nary liberty left. I-CQuld have rokonstrukted a thou? sand sich Skates before ? Jhfs. Anybody eoukl.

Wcll,\herc's n0 use talkin?when the stars fall agin maybe the wimmen will ?bo harmonized* That maiL businessr that oath about gittin letters! Gee-tiger! They always was jealous about the males anyhow, and that order jest broke tho camel's back. "Well, I must confess that it was a powerful small consarn. I. would try to sorter smooth it over if I knowed what to say, but I-don't. If they was afeerd of tho wimmen why didn't they say so? If they wasn't what do they make 'em swear for ? Jest to aggroyate 'ejn? "Didn't they know that,the best way to harmoniae a man, was to harmon? ize bis wife first? What harm can. the wimmen do by receivin their letters oath free? They'can't vote, nor they can't preach, nor hold ?ffis, nor play soldier, nor muster, nor wear breeches, nor ride straddle, nor cuss, nor chaw tobackor, nor do nuthin hardly but talk and rite letters. I h*nrn that a valaht- kernel made ;a wi men-put up her fan because itimd a" pikter of. ft:>rygard 'pcm ft, . Wei!, she's ?harmonized, I reckon; Now the trouble of all, sich Jfi, that after these bayonets leave; here and go home these- peUycoat tyrants-cant come back any more. Some ~Gcorgy fool will smash the juieo.out of 'cm, sartin, and that "won't be neitheir harmonious or heathy. J3ettcr let the wimirien alope. Then there i? another thing I'm waitin for? Why don't 'th^-Wkonft/rukt-the niggers if they are ever goin to ?. They've givo 'em\a powerful site of .'freedom^ and very little else. Here's tho big frctsdmeVs hnro, and the little''buroS-all. over .the country, and the papera are full of grand orders and special orders, and paragraphs, but I'll bet a possum some, of 'em steals my wood this winter or freezes to death.' Freedmen's burol freedtnen's humbug, Jr say: Just when the corn needed plowih the . worst, the buro rung tho bell'and tolled all the niggers to town, and the farmers lost thecrops; and now the freed man is getting cold and "hungry and wants to go backhand there ?int n?thiri. for 'ein .to; go to. B u t freedom is * a* big ?tiling. Hurra for freedom's buro! Sweet land of liberty, of thee I don't sieg! But it's all right. I'm/for freedom my? self' Nobody wants any more slavery. If the ?balishuaists had let us alone we would have fixed it up' right af long time: ago, and wo can .fix it up now. The bu- ;j ro aint-fiXed it, and it aintV-goin to. * It don't know, any thing about it. Our peo people have got a heap more' feel in , for the poor nigger than any abolis.hunist. We are as poor as Job, but I'll "bet a dol htr wo can raise more money in Rome to build a nigger church than theydid in Bostowiu The.papers say. that<a?ter go in round for 3 weeks, the Bostown Chris? tians raised thirty-seven dollars to build a nigger cliurclv. in Savannah. They are powerful on theory but mity peace in practice. . ? ... .?. > But its no use talkiu. Everybody. wiH know by waitin who's been fooled.
