CHARLESTON. DAILY NEWS....FEBRTJAB 1 5, 1866._ Tlie Daily News. MONDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 5,1866. .Tkc South. Thorough Northern Spectacles. .9. >Ok - We have no patience with itinerant correspon '' ,<ient?, yet that our readers may seo how wc are Ticwed bv Northern men-at least such of them ?who travel among us and write letters back to thoir papera-wo publish the following specimen. This letter clearly exhibits decided sectional pre? conceptions, whichimpari a-^?piritf f onfahmojs to hie statements; white at tho same tune he showb a disposition tb deal fairly with tho South aojaras he is capablo of understanding us. Thc letteru sent from Richmond to theN-X Times, um So far, a correct opinion of " Southern feehng , itt almost an absoluto impossibility, for it is as changeable as the coast tide, now running high over tho ground of loyalty, and again roceding to the dark ocean of treason. Much dependa apon tho porson socking to develop it, Tor, aa would naturally bo expected, thc peoplo hero arc verw eoro on matters connected with the history of tho past fiva ycar8,,aBd-Jhw.beanng.?n tho preeent. Commence your inquiries with tho word rebel, and ten to one you will find yourself talking to a rebel: whde, if you use tho word Confederate or Southerner, you will nearly al? ways discover conservative opinions. Speak of Mr. Sumner or Thad. Stevens, and you will bo overwhelmed with an avalanche of expletives denouncing thc whole North as blood-thirsty violators of the Constitution: which, however, is readily, changed to commendation, and advances toward conciliation hy the mere mention of Pres ' ?dent Johnson and his beneficent, policy.' A *' Bed Republican " is greeted herc with exhibi? tions of disloyalty, engendered by dislike; but a supporter of the President will lind buna fide evi? dences of a contrary condition, and it ls most always kindly received. President Lincoln's uamo is rarely mentioned here, and I havc.ncvor heard it brought forward in a disrespectful manner by a sober man. The Emancipation Proclamation, thc Freedmen's Bureau, and other concomitants of the war, elicit various phases of wrath and praise, but there is always a qualification of submission to tho will of tho "powors that be." Gen. Grant is respected with a respect different from that which is rendered as homage to a successful man., for ho is considered a magnanimous conqueror, who has been consistent in his magnanimity from tho surrender of Leo up to tho present time. Jeff. Davis and other leaders of tho rebellion arc looked upon in a different light by different people; but the desire for their unconditional pardon is almost unanimous. Lee, Johnston and Stonewall Jackson are loved by the entire people, and tho latter is always spoken of as a truo representative saan of the South. <<-? Thc number of original Union men in Yirgiuia is claimed to have heen large; but it is certain that the number who stood out for their princi? ples to tho bitter end was insignificant, and. did not includo much of the State. It is haiti that Virginia honestly tried to act the part of mediator ni tho commencement of thc .struggle, and that tho great majority of her citizens reluctantly loft thc Union, when forced out by the iirst call for troops. This samo statement is to be heard in every Southern State east of tho Mississippi, cx cept South Caroliua, and in all thoso States it will be seen that thc simon pure Unionists aro hated, more or less, by those who engaged in tho war. All praise to tho staunch and true, though low they are, who suffered for their principles, as the Unionists in the South only have suffered, and it is their great misfortune that they were not able to keep control of their State governments. As it is they have been set aside, and tho majority who now have tho upper hand treat them with a bitterness and rancor ot feeling which would naturally lead an observer to the belief that they aro criminals. But this treatment of Union men is influenced more by personal enmity than any? thing else, and has but little bearing* as regards the principles of the victims. There are, most as? suredly, those who aro inclined to prosecute Union men on account of their loyalty, but they are few in numbers, and are,. for the most part, contemptible, hot-headed fanatics, who have but a small influence. In short, the war men of thc South are jealous of the native Union men because they were not whipped with them, and the ma? jority seem to have an idea that they were cra? ven-hearted, when, in fact, it required more true courage to breast the tide of public opinion than to go with it. It ie too much tho general inclination of tho North to suppose that because a man has boen a rebel, he is one now. Unwittingly, many good men do violence to common humanity by such hasty judgment. Because a man has lost a law? suit, there is no reaeon why ho should not submit to the decision of tho court. Although ho may think that the decision is unjust, ho will, if ho is not a fanatic, acquiesce, and grin and bear his supposed wrongs. So it is in the South. All, ex? cept the fanatics, aro obedient to thc will of tho Government, and the overpowering decision of tho arbitrament of arms. I do not pretend to say that tho so-called principles of tho rebellion have been whipped out of the minds of tho people, for such a thing is impossible. Thoir conviction^ as to right and wrong remain undisturbed, and wul, until they go to their graves. Regard? ing States Rights, I think that tho opinions enter? tained by the thinking masses previous to the war still predominate in their minds; but I do not hesitate to predict that the majority are willing to abandon them in the future as matters finally ad? judicated by thc war, and that no attempt will ever, again bo made, based on tho doctrine of se? cession, for any object whatever. Regarding tho freedman, the peoplo of tho South have tried, and probably will continue to try, to secure aa much power over them as they can, and in doing so will, of course, resort to roundabout means, and per? haps oppressive laws, therein following an exam? ple prominently brought before them m the far? fetched theorizing of the upholders of the territo? rial theory. Nevertheless there is a liberal spirit, generated by pity for the unfortunate freedmen, which will always oppose itself against injustice toward them, and attempt td advance and allevi? ate their condition. Regarding the rebellion tho*reconstructed; par ticip-iJts seo nothing in it which they are ashamed of, so far as mero fighting is concerned; but they take pains to cover up and palliate tho dark spots j of the record. Tho burning of Richmond, tho disgraceful horrors of Andersonvillo, Bello Island ana Libby Prison aro subjects rarely talked of, and although there wus a generally expressed sympathy throughout the wholo South for Wirz when he was executed, it requires no great amount of discernment to seo that, if tho execu? tion har", not cast discredit upon their lost causo, the pe plo would havo unanimously applauded it. TLJ trial of Davis is particularly obnoxious to them, because it will unearth tho shameful im? becility and cruelty of their attompted govern? ment. Thero is but little sympathy for him as a man, but as tho representativo of their defuuci Confederacy, they will dislike to see him held to account for tho treason iu which they were par? ticipants. The fact that tho peoplo of tho South have, by their failuro in what they aro pleased to style "tha revolution," become criminals in the Bight of tho law, is humiliating, and the natural sequence of their criminality-application for pardon-is a blow to their pride, from which they are slowly xocovering. The anxiety to obtain pardons, how? ever, is somewhat abated by the uncertain condi? tion in which the Southern "States find themselves since the meeting of Congress. Tho future, po? litically speaking, of tho Sooth, is undoubtedly clouded, and exerts an influence which is anything but conducive to restoration, by fostering the feeling of despondency produced by the termi? nation of the war, attd thero aro many who seem " to have lost all interest in public affairs. It is "an ordinary thing here to hear men declaro that they will never vote again. How long this feeling will last. Ido not pretend to say, but certain it is that it exit ts now. None eave prejudiced and interested observers will protend to deny the existence of a deep and unconquered feeling of animosity-against tho Government on the part of some of thu Southern people. It is to be found in a certain class of men. But thia disaffected and disloyal clement does not comprise a large number of people, and does include most of the '.bomb-proofs," and exempts from active sorvico during tho war. They are tho "fanatics" who do not submit to tho decision. Messrs. GRADY, HAWTHORNE & PER-UT, of Green? ville, ELC, havo purchased tho "Pendleton Fac? tory," at a cost of ?31,501?, Tho factory, as wo learn from the Enterprise, ia to bo run, for thc present, upon yarn exclusively, tinning nut ubout ono hundred bunches pur day. Mr. PRRUX, of tile above firm, will resido at thu Pendleton factory. Tho firm intends, says thc Enterprise, tu put it on fino goods so Boou as the necessary mucl?nerv can be had. Tho building is brick -50 bv 150 feet, and two Btories.high. There is ampio "room for 3000 spindles with jooms. Locality, as is well known, is healthy, and guod, being immediately on the Blue Ridge Railroad J-i connection with thu factory thero are COO aeren of splendid land at tached to it, and the company intend to construct buildings, nev/ and upo:, an improved style Z HIRTY-NIWTH CONGRESS. IK S?SATE-MONDAT, JAJTOABT 30. In the Senato today, Mr. Wilson introduced ai important bill for the organization of a onifortr national militia throughout the country. * Tides among other th*gs, for enrollinjj ablo bodied citizens, and those who have'e their intention of becoming such, between twon _ and forty-five, in all tho States and Territories" any number or the wholo of whom may be called out by tho President in case of foreign war or in? surrection, to servo for 6ix. years or during the continuance of hostilities; that each Congression? al district shall have at least one organized regi? ment of militia, and that the work of organizing tho entire force Bhall be managed by a War De? partment Bureau to bo created. Tho bill was re? ferred to tho Military Committee. Petitions were presented for equalization of soldiers' bounties, and for abolition of all color distinctions. The petition of the Colorado Congressional delegation, asking admission, was also presented. Resolutions were adopted appropriating ten thousand dolkrs"tD pay tho Reconstruction Com? mittee's expenses, calling on tho President for Genera] Sherman's report of observation in the South, and directing the Postal Committee to re? port on tho propriety of the Postoffice Depart? ment assuming control of tho telegraph lines along tho principal mail rontcs. The Judiciary Committee submitted a report declaring Hon. John P. Stockton entitled to tho contested New Jersev Beat in tho Senate, which was ordered to be printed. A resolution to print fivo thousand copies of tho report of tho Internal Revenue Com? mission was introduced and referred. Tho re? mainder of tho session was occupied in a con? tinuation of the debate on tho bill to guarantee thc civil rights of the freedmen, the qkestion being on an amendment offered by Mr. Trumbull, declaring thc negroes entitled to nil the rights of citizenship. Several Senators spoke, but no otc was tallen. 9 HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES-JANUAT.'. 30. In thc House of Representatives messages were received from ibo President furnishing informa? tion relativo to thc surrender of the rebel corsair Shenandoc?i, and tho enlistment of ono hundred days' troops. Bills were introduced and referre d for the better organization of the navy and for a phip canal to connect tho Mississippi and Lake Michigan. A resolution to extend tho courtesy of seats on thc iloor to ,00 members elect from Arkan? sas was defeated, and one to print twenty thousand copies of the Secretary of tho Interior's report of the manufactures of tho country was adopted. The Deficiency Appropriation bill for the current year was reported frcin tho Appropriations Com? mittee and mado the special order for next Tues? day in Committee of tho Whole. Tho Reconstruc? tion Committee's proposed constitutional amend? ment to regulate taxation and Congressional rep? resentation was again taken np, uud, after some debate, Mr. stevens withdrew Iiis demand for a vote on its adoption, and expressed the hope that it would bu sent hack to tho committee without inst mei ion.-, which disposition uf it was agreed to by the House. The resolution iustructing tho Claims Commit? tee, until otherwise ordered, to reject all claims presented to them of citizens of the lately rebel? lious States for damages inflicted by thc army or navy in the suppression of tho rebellion, was, after discussion, adopted. A resolution was also adopted instructing the Reconstruction Commit? tee to consider tho propriety of submitting to tho Stato Lcgislctercs, for adoption, a proposed com? pact which i?rffFect provides that no ?state shall ever secede from tho Union; that tho negroes shall have thc samo rights before tbo courts and tho samo privileges and protection for acquiring and holding property as the whites, and that no dobt contracted to aid tho rebellion shall ever be Daid. Tho Senate bill to enlarge tho powers of the Freedman's Bureau waa taken up and considered for a short time. An effort was mado by the members of the House to hold the first evoning session of this Congress; but at tho hour for as? sembling, half-past seven o'clock in thc evening, there was such a slim attendanco that those pre? sent agreed to adjourn without transacting any business. SENATE-JANUARY 31. In tho Seriate to-day still another petition to al? low negroes to voto was presented by Mr. SUMNER, and Mr. LANE, of Kansas, r.rcsented ono from la? dies of that State asking the same privilege for white women. A bill regulating tho exercise of the elective franchise in the District of Columbia was introduced and referred to tho District Com? mittee. It recognize? no color distinction in vot? ers; requires, among other things, a residonce of one year and registration two mouths before being allowed to vote, and tho payment of ono dollar I poll tax. A bill granting a million acres of public land to a mining college in Nevada was also intro? duced. Tho joint resolution of thanks to Vice Admiral Farragut, his officers and men, was adopt? ed unanimously. Fivo thousand copies of the report of tho Rove nuo Commission, recommending important amend? ments to the revenue laws, wero ordered to bo printed. A motion was mado, but, after some dis? cussion, denied, to reconsider tho voto by which the bill extending tho time for withdrawal of goods from public warehouses was passed. The discussion of tho bill to guarantee the freedmen protection in their civil rights was then resumed from thc previous day, and continued up to tho adjournment, without a voto being taken, except on turco or four proposed amendments, all of which were defeated. Several Senators spoke, tho debuto being principally on tho quesiion whether negroes aro citizens, thc affirmative being maintained by the Republicans, and tho negative by thc Democrats. HOUSE or REPRESENTATIVES-JAN. 31. Tho question in relation to tho Constitutional Amendment wa? takon up und discussed. Mr. Schenck proposed to apportion representatives ac? cording to number of male citizens of tho Utiited States over twenty-one years of ago who arc voters, in tho proportion of o:? o representative for each ono hundred and twenty-five thousand voters, re? gardless of tho effect upon New York, whero half tho foreigu population have never becu franchised; upon Missouri, where half tho natives have been ! disfranchised for rebellion, and upon Massachu? setts, whero half the population can never bo franchised on account of sex. Schenck's amend? ment was voted down at thc first opportunity, and Thad'* proposition passed by tho requisito two-j thirds vote. Ponding tho question, Mr. Steven? mado an im- I prcsdivc. remarkable und somewhat acrimonious speech of forty minutes' duration in defence of tue practice of amending the constitution:-"True, we had boen informed by tho Ililli authority of a puudit at tho other end of tho avenue that no amendments were needed, but wo disagree with him." Ho found fault gouerally with thc botched work turned out by the lathers who framed our Constitution, and invoked God to forbid that ho should ever adopt tho sentiments of Raymond and "tho mau at 1 ho other end of the avenue" against repairing it. Referring to the Associated Press despatch, purporting to givo the President's views MU topics now before the Homso, Stevens an? im adverted mi thc President's conduct with great severity, ?ind said-1 "Such conduct on the part of a British king a few years ago would havo cost that king his head." Mr. Ingersoll, of Illinois, a Republican, wanted to know Thad's authority for crediting tho author? ship of the press dispatch to the President, when the sarcastic; old Radical replied that he really could not divulge any of the secrets between tho President und hiui**]f. Nearly every desk in tho hall, except thvoc iu Mr. Stewns' immediate vicinity, was vacated, andu black ring of members formed around che impassioned old man. His frequent allusions to "that niau at the other end of the avenue" and his little friend from New York, provoked laughter. Thad hopes the amendment will be adopted by nineteen States, and become part of tho organic law. Ho ignores tho Southern States ?ts cloven dried up, shrivelled non? entities. As t.i Andruw Johnson's endorsement,it will make no sort of diff?rence whether ho adopts it or not. it was very kiud of him, however, in view of tho fact, that Congress would not auk him for it, to send his views to them through the newspapers. The old mau sat down, with bte lips compressed, and awaited, bolt upright, thc result of tho voto. Raymond and Hale laid their heans together and labored with Republicans to vote against it. Green Clay Smith implored McKee, while Judge Hale aud Raymond supplicated Davis and Griswold lo stand by tho President. Jeuckcsof RhodO Island, and Eliot and Baldwin of Massachusetts, voted against thc amendment on Sumner'* account. That dis? tinguished gentleman is deeply disgusted at thu passage of so conservative au instrument Tho war between Stevens ?iud "tho mau" may be said to have commenced. Anew rule, prohibiting the nee of thu Hall for other than legislative! purposes, religious services or proceedings in which the mem burs m their olli cial capacity shall lake part, was adopted. Tue Military Committee were Instructed to report on the propriety of paving eooimntathiii nf rations for tuc in-riud of their coulilicmclit, lo all national soldiers" wi io were imprisoned by the rebels. Bills were passed to continue tho admission, free uf duty, of lumber owned by Americans un thu St. Jehu',; Uiver and i:s tributaries, sawed ur hewn by them in the province of New Brunswick, ?nd authorizing the Secretary of tho Treasury-io sell such marine hospitals and revenue cuttore belong? ing to the Government as he may deem expedient. A bill to repeal all fishing bounties was offered. A bill to prohibit tho restoration of American registers to American vessels which during the rebellion were placed under the protection of for i reign flags was introduced, and, arter some debate, ?Waid over. Tho bill enlarging the powersof tho n Freedmen's Bureau was a-ain takenup, and two or three Democrats spoko against it. An evening session was held, which was doj?ird to general debate, nae member ep^kiiig-r?Mfc^yition of tho. haste with, which proposcJBRplli^ocal amendments are acted upon, and another in favor of protection to home industry. Other gontlomon made speeches on thaques tione of the day, and the House adjourned. SPECIAL NOTICES. OS- T. B. BYNNER, IMPORTER AND DEAL?
