JDAILY NEWS. "'CHARL?ST?N7' _?*? SATURDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER !), 1863. In ouii USUB of yesterday wo took occasion to I prcsont that tbe condition of the South is a sufli- ! cicnt guarantee of her fidelity to the Union; that j tho States of the* South must, of necessity, accept their former relations to tho General Government; that there is no room for the supposition that they will incline to test again the powers of that Government; none that, by any possibility, they could be successful; and that, in the face of facts like these, it was unnecessary and gratuitous to i -ask or offer asseverations of a fidelity to which the j acts themselves afford the most conclusive and un answerable attestation. But, in the persistent demand for such assur ances, and in the continued assertion that they aro insufficient, there would seem to be the pul poso that they shall bo bisufticieut? that there is not, in fact, the wish to find us clear; that the charge itself is more pleasant than the refutation of it; and tho effort, therefore, to make a case against us, from which the discharge cannot bo altogether perfect, and, in virtue of that, to hold us indefinitely in colonial dependence; or, if forced f.? let 08 in, to let us in on condition only of continued responsibility for good behavior. Upon tbe question whether wc are again to re-j enter the Union, or whether we havo ever left it, or what, in fact, is our stalus. ordinances of so-1 cession existing or repealed, wo havo nothing to Say. To justify the war, it was aflirmed that j there was no power of secession in a State, and : that it continued a constituent of the Union?ordi- j nances to the contrary, notwithstanding. Whether that principle in war will do in peace?whether in tho Union, through resistance, we are out or it? resistance ceasing, and that dissolution for which our strength was inaulHcient, will come of our weakness and prostration?is a matter which the Government, or the party that controls the Gov ernment, must of itself determine. But it is to be assumed that the Union will prevail; that the ob ject that inspired the efforts and achievements of this long and bloody war will not bo voluntarily abandoned in the moment of fruition; and that in consideration of their own interests, if not of ours, tho States remaining in the control of the Govern ment will still insist upon the restoration of the Republic to its original condition; and agreeable, therefore, as it may be, to punish us and keep us at a disadvantage, that conviction process must bo applied to us within the Union. Upon this aubject, how over, as we have owned, wc have noth ing to say. It would be agreeable, of course, to t be restored; we have no reason now for any or-, -ga?iz:) tion of our own; we would rather be the equals than the subjects of our sister States; and in (he Union we see no reason now why we could .not coincide in its action, and find in it room aud verge enough for every tendency and power we may possess; but the action must be determined with little refercr.ee to our wishes. It was not from considera tion for us wc were made to feel the severities cf subjugation : it will be from as little consideration we shall be restored to the Union; and both argument or entreaty on the sub ject, therefore, will be alike impotent, and alike unbecoming and gratuitous. Assuming, however, that we will be restored to the Union, and there be made to feel at leisure the inflictions meet for our offences, it wen- per haps bc*t to be fi"nnk upon the facts that must arise. It would seein to be implied, in any such policy as this, that wc are still to present some principio of distinction from the other States | known us free States, and thus continue a mark for legislative action. But in this there is room for some mistake. We would not disappoint our sis itcr States, nor do an act offensive in thus re-en tering tue sanctuary of this Republic; but wc be lieve it will be the purpose of every Southern State to obliterate every trace of distinction?to become as like one and another of the loyal States as it may be possible to become;?to want nothing,?ask for nothing,?aet for nothing that shall not be equally ?desirable to at least a majority of the other States, iar.il present no single point of divergence from the majority of States upon which it will be possible to fix the edge of legislation or oxecutive discrimina tion. The vengeance, therefore, that is to be taken upon this people must be taken now. Frankly we own the purpose to become in perfect consistence with the great democratic family of States, and if punished, then it must be in defiance of every law, and for having done exactly that which it is now assumed we merit?punishment for not doing and net affording sufficient assurance that we will do. It may be said, however, that desiring to be come In social identity with other States, we w ill fail of doing ao from the- fact that wo will have a large colored population, which may afford the cause of legislative action; and that if the ordinary powers of the Government bo not sufficient, thero will be tho power in the amendment of the Con stitution now recommended for adoption. In this, also, there may be some mistake. Alargo colored population, wc admit, is a blessing; but it is one it is rot our purpose to monopolize. Their friends arc at the North, and these people would like to be nearer to them. The material improvements, then, and splendors and displays; arc greater. These attract tho colored race. There is no impediment to their going where they 'please, and it is quite certain they will be pleased to (look in numbers to tlie Northern States. It may bo supposed that poverty will restrain them; but little will be re quired to take them to any section of the North, and this little, if to be hud from no other source, will be furnished by their former masters. Tho feeling is still kind, and thero aro many men in every district of the South who would cheerfully contribute so much to placo theh.- former slaves in the comfort and ease to be hoped for at the North, and which can scarcely bo hoped for in many sec tions of this devastated country. It may be thought, however, that tho States themselves, opposed to such a population, or de sirous to be free from a condition which they in tend to make a cause of discrimination against other States, will interpose their laws and officers to keep them out; but here, also, thero may be liability lo error. If tho Congressional amendment shall he adopted, it will give to; Congress power to legislate upon the aubject of liberated negroes. If ?Congress shall see fit to confino them to those ?Hates where they are at present, it can do so, ol OOttrso; but if it shall not, thero will not be the power in any State to resist the act of Congress. Tho policy Congress shall pursue will bo nccordanl with tbe will of the majority of that body. W< will be of that majority?wc intend to be affect?e by no condition that shah plac? us in a minori ty again. Wo wdl favor the liberty of move ment to tho colored race. The Northern pooph arc their friends, and they will favor it. They wil Lavo tho power of Congress, therefore, to ontei any State, and there is no Stato that will ven?an to resist them. Wc havo learned what, it costs t< moot the forces of tlie Government. Forty thou sand of a voting population 'of- f?rty?slx thousand and two hundred million dollars of our property it this Stato alone, have'fallen in' this issue; and paying such a price for our instruction, it wero fui to presume that we Lavo loarnuil the lesson well, and when the occasion comes can ?roil recito it. Wo hopo the time for auch n recitation may never come. We have known enough of war to long for peace; but wo desire to nay that our course is now in perfect ?-?insistence with the Government of this country; that if ?aunes arise, we must act upon them with that Government; and that if our fellow-citizens of other sections have cause of quarrel with us further, it cannot be for reason of hostility to that Government which, in the nature of the case, we will of neceaoity sustain. We would also say that to our fellow-citizens generally we do not attribute the sentiments ex pressed by many organs of public opinion at the North. We believe that they did light to restore the Union; that it is their purpose the Union shall be restored; that it is their purpose thrt the Union so restored shall ho in nature aa in name the Union of coequal .States?tho,t they want no inoro of uh than to become constituents of such an Union; no fruits of victory, but the restoration of a lasting peace. But they, like us, have been often unfor tunate in their organs of expression. It might seem that more was wanted; that there was a claim for vengeance; a ilcsiro of the ?moluments of n provincial government, and that it is the wish of those who have the power to repudiate the prin ciples upon which the war was fought, and own at last that the war for Liberty was a war for Plun der. To those who were honesl hi this war, wo say we are grateful for the moderation you exhibit, and for you, what WS have said above if? not intended; but for those who have waged this war under pretext?who have crimsoned our soil for plunder, ami who pretend to question loyalty that they may now achieve it, we have intomled what we say, ami we feel assured we sait l??vn hurt the feelings of no honest man in doing SO. Reconstruction. The gifted, but erratic Dr. O. A. Bsowxdox has published a paper in the New York Tribune upon reconstruction, in which some points are put with great force and clearness. The Doctor commences by assuming as a fact that the "construction of civil government cannot be ?lone under the war power, but must be ilone under the peace power of the Constitution, if ?lone at all, because it is csaen tially a work of peace." He then denies the right of the President to reorganise the States hi the manner proposed in his North Cttrolina proclama* tion, agrees with him as to the right of each Sr:>te to designate the depositories of its own political j power, but "not for reasons assigned by the Presi dent," and ends thus: I complain of the exception*" from amnesty and pardon made by the Prcsulcnt in his proclamation j of the I'.'th of May. I knew not how he derived | the power to issue any proclamation of the sort, and regard both his pardons and exceptions as i!- ! legal. lie could only let the law take ita course. But I question the right of the Government to j treat tin- lad- acc?dera as traitor.-. The rebellion was a territorial rebellion, ami the whole territo rial people were implicated in it. and you cannot arrest and try for treason a whole territorial peo pin of eleven* or at least seven millions. The re-j in-llion assume?! the dimensional of a territorial civil war, as the Supremo Court decided, ami the people engaged in it. when they have submit ted j and returned to their allegiance, aro not liable to arrest and punishment aa traitors. Public policy ami political economy oppose it. The nation can not afford to lose so large a portion of its territo rial people; ami when millions are equally guilty, i the Government must hang all or none. The persons cxccptcd?that is, proscribed?about two millions, are precisely that portion of South. ern society which can least be spared. They are needed to'enable the late rebellious States to" sus tain themselves in the Union as sell-governing communities. To bang, exile, or disenfranchise them is to throw the State Government into the hands of the least efficient, the least intelligent, i the most ignorant, and the most prejudiced classed of Southern society, ami precisely those who have the greatest horror ?if negro equality. The oppo sition to negro equality, you are aw'are, increase:? in proportion as yon descend the aocial scale. The wealthier and more intelligent classes of the South. proscribed by President Johnson, are the best friends the negro has, not the poor, degraded non slaveholding whites. Besides, the Southern pco2>le hold, and sincerely hold, the doctrine of sovereignty, as did before the war the majority of the American people. O? that doctrine none* of the Southern people have been rebels or traitors, for they seceded before levying war against the United States. I apree with you that that doctrine is a political heresy, but I have never seen a aolid refutation, notbns?-d on a heresy of an opposite character equally great. The Soutlieru people did not believe it a heresv, ami were not, in their own judgment, either rebels or traitors, but patriots, fighting for the freedom and indeneudenec of their country. Petroleum in Europe. A correspondent of the Semaphore, of Marseilles, writing from ifanok, Austrian Galicia, on the 16th of July, says : Tho constantly inorcaaing importance of the trado in mineral oila at Marseilles, attracts atten tion to the oil deposits of Europe. It is now certain that, in a period more or less long, the old continent will not bo tributary to America for oils for lighting extracted from the earth. Every day new uatural reservoirs of pelro leuni are discovered; and a'- the same time geoln jg'nia are beginning to understand oil fields belter, and the manner in which they are distributed ovc-r tho globe. Already observations haye boen taken which enable researches to he made with much greater chances of success than when they were carried on at hazard. Among tho localities which already export petro leum is Moldo-Wallachia. There is an intimate connection between the reservoirs of petroleum in Galicia and Moldo-Wallachia. As regarda Ga licia, new ihBCovcries are being made every dav. The inhabitants of the country are beginning to be seized with the oil fever, ami are boring the soil. Unfortunately, however, they carry on ope rations somewhat mindly, and thuy arc without good instruments; but foreigners are already be ginning to bring tools and money, and that la all that is needed. There has been much discussion cs to the origin of petroleum. In America it was at first thought tliat this substance waa produced by Uie-dissolu tioh ?if coal and bitnniinoun schists; but thirf hy pothesis has liad to bo abandoned aa insufficient. The decomposition of vegetable tissues, ami eveu of tho bodies of gelatinous animals in the geologi cal epocha, has also Veen considered the caus? of petroleum, and it is certain that it has contributed aomewhat to the phenomenon. But the enormous (liiiuit?ties of petroleum and bitumen which ?are discovered in the four parta of tho world, and the circumstances which nave oceurretl during the search for and the working of the wells in America, do not permit this second explanation to be ac cepted as sufficient. What I see in this country, for my part, autho rizes the belief that there are great subterranean reservoirs, fed by the bituminous directives which come from tho centre of the earth. In other words, I believe that there are still eruptions of bitumen, as there aro saline,' sulphurous and o^her-crup tioua. The petroleum which ?v? colkct comes, therefore, to us, in great part, from the interior, and not from tho H?perfloes of the terrestrial crust When petroleum is found in recent formations, as in Galicia, it is almost always at 100 to 150 feoi in depth, in wells which have to he sunk. Tho oi must he got ont'eithor by buckets or a pump. Bui , in America. ?fU-r emptying euch reservoirs, sheets from widen the oil spchjgn to tho, .surface, hav? been found. In some cases they have been roacho? ] by borings to a great depth. In the .part of Eu rope, however, Of which lam speaking, the uppei reservoirs are hi basins of rock. This rock is im penetrable, but between clefts hi it it is probnbli that the lower sheets' will be reached, and" that, ai in America, tho oil will spring to the surfuco However tins may ho, tho reservoirs near the sur , face of the earth nresont a wido flohl to commer . cial enterprise.
