THURSDAY MORNiyo, ?PR^L 26, 1866. yUDLIC MEETINGAT AttURVILLE V. il., SOUTH CAUOLINA. An important publio mooting was held in Abbe Tille on tho 2d inst. It waa one of great rospoot -ability, ropresonting the public opinion of tho District. The immediate oause of the meeting waa the iniprovok?d "hooting* of a Federal soldier by a lawless rover, at Hedge's Station. .. . ? ., The mseUhg waa organized,*, on motion of Mr. E. J. HA"?*"*** by calling Judge Wabdi^w to tho Chair, and the appointment of W. Aueusrue Lib*, Esq., as Secretary, , ;, ..,,";. 7 ?', I The Chair in art' stated the object of the meeting. His remarks wore substantially as follows: ag Sj^Mso?ate air..ao differe-oV/rem tbe.r-buo-j tSe^llb wUoh, in: former time?, tbtohaUj* iSled tipohthe anuooucemoht of ap?bubm??t Sir-Bi? changes have come over tie elrice tho days when, as freemen-enjoying* the right-of eelfHgov-* ernznont, we expressed with-authority our.opin-. ions upon publio affaira.,.Apathy succeeds extreme, ?offering i but' oven in timos of depression it,is. cood for those who suffer in common to meet to Mtber to bind more closely the corde whioh unit o them?to impart and to re?oive mutual infor mation' and .sympathy?to. keep alive that at tention to public affaire whioh tyrants of all kinds jealously seek \x> extingniSh-J-and t? determine the course which duty and ' interest require them in pradonoo to take. Surely there is now occasion " for our manifestation of intenso feeling,..and exertion of any influence which we may. nave,, in reference to proceedings of cur Goner'al Government which touch our vital interests, and are to be decided by rulors amongst whom wo have no rop>osontf.tivo. If ever a peo ?o were called upon to sustain and assist a bene otor, tho people of thu Ht atoa now excluded from Congress are oalled upon, by all the means in their power, .to sustain and assist our President, Andrew Johnson, in his noble efforts-to withstand the assaults upon.tho Constitution which the Rad ical party, with untiring p'ers?verance, are making for the purpoeo of degrading and further deprea eing thoeo'over whoso defeat and crushing oaiami ticB they have triumphed, and whom a wise polioy would teach them to aid and recruit with generous kindDOss. The immediate cause whioh produced tbe call ing of thift meeting, is the shooting of a soldier of the garrison Btationed at thia place, whilo he was on ?duty at Hodgo's Dupot, on Friday, Maroh 28. The murderous act is said to have been perpetra ted by t\Btrabgor, on horseback, unknown to any of she'p?rsons whuaaw him. According to re POrJLiMge was heithe r -excuse or provocation? Doming in 'the affair whioh can be contemplated without horror, besides the gratifying fact that the intent was not consummated, but th? soldier, although dangerously wounded, is likely to re cover. Onr limited opaco forbids us to give the remain der of Judge "Wahdi.a.w'b oloquont epoooh. In therabsence of General McGowan, tho Chair man of ft committee appointed at tho preceding meeting, Col. J. 8. Cothjian, submitted a preamble And the following resolutions: Resolved, Thai tho citizens of Abbeville Dis iriot, always devoted to law and order, bave heard with pain of occasional sots of violence perpe trated within their bordera, and denounce all such acts, no matter by whom or-upon whom com mitted..* > ..v i ; i ,* . . * lit solved. That the citizens of Abbeville District "view 30tbi?hiapprijhatlpn and abhorrence the r6b-, bery and unprovoked ohootiug of Corporal.Daniel B. Sue*, of the let Maine BattaUbn,. whilst on duty at Hoiigo'BDepot, on Friday, the'23d day of Maroh last, by some unknown stranger seemingly passing that place by accident at the time. Resolved, That it is the duty of ovorv good oiti sen to diooountenanoo such acts, and to give to theauthoritios ovory asaietanco possible in pur srumg; arrosting and brin?lug to con?lgnpnnish mcnt aUaUch raokleBB offender?, against human life, tho peace; of aooiety, and the character and welfare o? tho i community. -. .-. . .-, i \ Resolved, That whilst well behaved stranger? halt- never find tu wanting in hospitality, and those who are disposed to oast their lot with us and work for ah honest support are welcome amongst ue. we disclaim all sympathy with those whovpaving no interest in the community, yet perautin making.it tbe scene of robbery and vio lence, regardlBss alike orbits character and wel Jare. Resolved, That whilst a divided jurisdiction be tween the military and civil authorities is not the best means for the suppression of crime, and in the,rjpmion*ef the people of-the district it would promote good order for the civil authorities to buvo exclusive jurisdiction of all offences, no matter by whom oommitted, yet in their judgment much good can be done by giving to the. authorities, civil or\military, prompt and hearty support in the discovery and punishment of all offenders. Colonel O-ajrHBAN sustained the adoption of the above in a brief and telling speech. The resolutions were seoonded by General A. 0. Hasxell, and supported by him in a well con eidored and offuctivo speech, from whioh we give a. few extracts, i :. After a chaste, eloquent, and extremely modest introductory, Oen. H. said: I concur heartily with the resolutions offered, bouaiiso good will come from this expression or publio sentiment. It will give to our Governor and executors of justice assurance of hearty aid; will affirm and evince to i our military rulers the sincere loyalty of onr people; and will go as evi dence in our behalf before the national tribunal, where jus tico has to contend with malignant hate, sustained by most cunning and ingenious false hood?and more good than all this will result by this banishment of the apathy of suffering, by the renewal of publio sentiment which has been ?wakened, and which is drawing strength from this oonconrse of the people. Abbeville has been the mother of great and good mon. Calhonn, Oheves, MoDufne, and others of that great day, are her or -?and, under her fostering oare, were reared ' j youths who, flock in cr to her famous school of former days, from all quarters of our own and other Statee, did afterwards adorn their country with their virtues. And what has Abboville been called ? The law abiding District I The name she has justly made ?and we trust will ever be sustained?to preserve her fame. The publio welfare Is best promoted by the faithful observance and ex?cution of existing laws. Probably to this sentiment all will accord; but some may say we have no law. In this rests the mistake. It 1b. law harsh in form to a people which haB been freo; but still it is law; and potter any law than no law.. Law. is the com snand issued by that power whioh has been vest od'-With the supremo anthority. This power is what we call the government; and government has' been defined to bo "tho form of a community, with respeot to the disposition of the supreme au thority. In rep?blica this supreme authority, resting with the people, it is by them, in what is cauod the constitution, disposed in its different forms. But in times of war it rosta in the hands of th? victor, to the extent which it is yielded by tho vanquished, to obtain peace; and what is not -fielded remains with the people. Thus onr supremo authority is disposed in three distinct forms, which are?First, the military authority ia tho hands of those to whom it is given under the Constitution of the United Ht ates, and whioh is ex eroiflod over' tbe States lately in rebellion. Second, the Freedraen's Bureau, charged with the protec tion and : control of the emancipated race, who were formorly our slaves, whioh was established by tho United States Government in tho act of eappressiDg the' rebellion; and third, that por tion of tho constitutional form Of this State which pot conflict with either of the first. cm aro the sources of existing laws, undor _ih onr allegiance has been given. To all their instr amonte is dne our recognition of their pow er and obedience to weir authorized commands, with hearty co-operation in all onr civil capacities to rtstaln the one and enforce the other. In this consists the obsorvanco And oxooutiou of ozixiting law* which will, I contend if any. one disputes, bes?-arom?te the public .welfare by important ccnlriintior.a under tho following heade: let. Tho raatoratlon and the pr?servation of peace. 2d. Tb? reproduction of national' wealth, and conae onent power;'and 3d, whioh covers the preceding, Tb6 * -rest-oration of onr State to more perfeot po lities' rights, and to the removal of all bnt con ??Af peace in civil life Is defend. Ilind preserved by the wavr-ing which lawut Jtr?Tsvndtho penalty which it infliot? npon trans grcaaore. Tbo ponsoiousnoss of tho oxisteuco of law doter? mod, hrid framoa a oonaoienoeevenin those who havo discarded that which naturo pavo them. And when tho law has boon transgressed, its exe cution exciten, .among tbo virtuous, abhorrenoo of crime, and among tho wioked imparts terror; and I: do trust, that all the tortor that law oan imparte and all tho penalty which abo oan supply, will Boon bo poured upon tho vilo and malignant vagabonds, wno are injuring and provoking our District by their occasional presence. Law ia tho only remedy. Without law, .orimo but begets crimo, punishment taken the form of vengeance, soon runs into excess, and porhapa itaolf becomes a crime more wicked than the first. Honco the danger of Lynoh law and seorot asso ciations. The fact thattheyaroropulsive to civ ilised and onlightoned pooplo, and are eflicacioua only for cohap&Aoy, in B*afJ3<4ent to condemn thorn.

To'reco'gniz? that which arises froth competent forc?; to estab lish' and sustain that part of our. o\tu preoioua law which wo(aro able .to retain, and to. give hearty corporation to tho two combined, will givo us tho best JaW now within our treaoh; and, therefore, the best nope of peace, socUrlty and good order; i Th? f?rrd of authority most repulsive of thoso imposed upon* ta, is-the Freedmon's' Bureau? whioh, in existence, ia bitter to. ourselves and per nicious to the negro. But: as long as it is here power of production:- * By* opposition, we do but irritate; while, by support, \ro modify, the feeling of hostility and, therefore, injustice?to.the whites oven where thero be nob regard -for the blacks? whioh prevails in these Courte, and upen which, indeed,.they were founded. . . And more important than this, ouch conduct will assure the fre?dm?n of our kind and juf-t dis position to wards tho tu?thus secure their confl uence, and moro by this than any other feeling, promote their value and efficiency aa laborers? Suspicion is nativo to the' negro, besides being an attendant upon slavery; and this, which de stroys confidence, is excited by every act against the Bureau, which claims that it was created and lives solely to afford protection to tho freedman against his former master. Oh tho subject of the colored race, I differ in opinion from many, and I trust that.time will pxove'the correctness of my views. If tho white man is superior to the color ed man. he oan direot him as well under one nsme as another. And whore you have several white men for one colored, the power will be absolute, simply by weight of influence, even supposing the negro to have all the rights which law oan givo him. In our State the difference in number ia not enough to affect us eeriouoly, and in the South, in America, the freedman ia bot a drop in the stream, so far aa controlling effect in society goes. He was faithful dnring the war, and is working in the first year of freedom, learning to trust his former-master, who is now nie best protector, Al most unmoved by the expected exoitement of free dom, and ceas in/t to be effeoted by knowledge of the existence of his own protective government. Argument is often drown from experience of Jamaica?but the argument is a fallacy, because the. oases are analogous only ju name, put not in fact. Jamaica is an island separated by the ocean from other nations of the world. We are a small portion of a vast continent. - On Jamaica, the black population was nix timos tho white; in the Uuited St a toa, ?he white ia many, more times the black. There ?existed . cruel and barbarous tyranny over the slave?hero servitude was marked for its justice and humanity. There insurrectionists, banditti, and -a dangerous race of renegado negroes, exiated un der the name of Maroons, for moire than one hun dred years in the mountain faatnCBSCs, exasperat ing the masters, exciting the slaves, irritating tyranny, and defying tho British soldiery, who at last defeated them by the aid of a legion of blood hounds,' tamed loose in the mountains to mangle and tear the old and helpless, as well as th? young and active. Amongst us such slavery never existed, and wo have no reaeon to oxpoot the evil oonaequenoea whioh have .followed the emancipation of the Jamaicana. ; And apart from this comparison, the law of sup ply and demand is ae powerful in the control of labor aa any other article of commorco. - To the amount of money actually made must be added facilities for investment, attraction of climate, and all other things which compensate for labor. To represent the demand, and with the whole world to draw from, supply will always bo attainable to meet the demand. And our country still contains enough to attraot labor. Looal attachment will enable the negro for some time to reeut the great money domand of the Western valleys; and when he is ready to go, oar great factories will have been established, the white population will be pouring in, and wo .can yield the negro labor, at the aame time that w? will remember him aa hav ing been dooilo, useful, and remarkable for having resisted all that fanatical geniua ooild invent to make him corrupt and pugnacious. And above this class of labor, law is eosontial to all the productive power of eooiety in securing that obligation of contracto whioh is the founding power of our Constitution itaolf, apon which do pende the existence of society, and upon its proper performance dependa prosperity, and, therefore,to observe and enforce the law in existing form Is to work for the publia weal.

The meeting then adjourned. ?' ??> . . Adhihal Seiimbb.?Tho Mobile Times, of the 21st, Bays in reference to the above distinguished gentleman : The return of Admiral B. Sommes to his home has filled with joy a large oirole of friends, and with pratitndo towards the President all thoso who cherish what is great and noble. We had the pleasure of spending an evening with the brave sailor, and to bear from his own mouth the relation of his release as well as the views of the President on his political statue, and and we oaji asBuro hia friends, those who do not believe that Republics, should always be ungrate ful, that the election of Admiral Hommes to the responsible office of Probate Judge has the Presi dent's full approval, and that nothing should be allowed to influence or oppose it on euch ground less approhonei?n*. The valiant straggle, made a few days ago, by the friends of General Johnston to elect him to a responsible office, fully proves that there is a right spirit in tho land, and although unsuccess ful, it establishes the fact that many hearts still boat, which oannot remain cold when certain glo rious n irnos are pronounced. When the history of the late war shall have been written by' an Impartial hand, the proudest and most glorious inoident of it will be found in the pag?s recording the unequal contest between the Kearsage add the Alabama. Shall Admiral Sommes, just escaped from the very jaws of doath, through the daring and hu manity of an Englishman; find less devotion among his own compatriots? ' '-' ' ? ?"i . . 'r. , Fur?
