Among them are nu merous lcttora from Confederate officiais, and from the rank and file of the Confederate army.

MONDAY MORNING, MAY 28, 18GG. THE SERENADE TO THE PRESIDENT. As will bo seen, in our paper to-day, tho serenado to the President and members of the Cabinet on last Wednesday evening, un der tho auspices of tho National Union Club, elicited an expression of opinion upon the existing political ?BSUCB from nearly all of the immediate advisers of the Executive. We learn from our Washington exchanges that tl*o anxioty to learn with certainty the views of thoso prominent offioors of the Government attracted an immense crowd. It will be soon from the spooches that tho policy of tho Pres ident was generally and cordially approved, and in most instances fully and unequivocally endorsed, and that a dignified disapproval of the ohief measures of the Radical faction in Congress was expressed. The remarks of Secretary MCCULLOCH are a plain, candid, and unqualified approval of the course of the President. The speech of Secretary STAN TON was an elaborate and carefully prepared review of the loading measures of public pol icy, and a definition of his position with re gard to them. His disapproval of tho Re construction propositions now ponding in Congress is pointed, distinct and unequivocal. The general tenor of those responses exhibit the gratifying fact that there oxista a much greater unanimity in the Cabinet than many persons were led to suppose, and that the President ?B supported in his polwy by the heads of the several Departments with much more cordiality than his^oppononts havo been willing to admit. THEN. Y. RELIGIOUS ANNIVERSARIES. The Rev. Mr. PORTER is gaining nn unen viable notorietyfin the North at this time, both for himself and for the State from which he hails. As ho is one of our most estoemed clergymen, and has many friends and ad mirers in this oity, we regret exceedingly to see bia name occur so frequently in our North ern exchangee, and "South Carolina" and "Charleston" invariably ooupled with it. lie was in New York during "Anniversary Week," and, we were sorry to find, took part in some of (he celebrations, True, we saw him heralded as a speaker only at the Five Points' Mission Anniversary, a noble and en tirely unexceptionable charity. But we do not think the time has come yet when a Southern olergyman, a late Confoderate, can, with solf-respect, and with regard to the feel ings of thoao he represents, mingle in these assemblies, and take part in their jubilees. We read over the daily reports of these in numerable anniversary May meetings in the New York papers, and found them all, -with ?scarcely a single exoeption, bristling at all points with insult and obloquy to the South and her people. The American Bible and Tract Sooieties, so largely built up by South ern contributions, formed no exoeption to the rule. Now it is of cour BO very meet and proper in a Christian teacher to set a becoming ex ample of humility * and this, in our opinion, Mr. PORTER has fully accomplished. But a olergyman of position is regarded a repre sentative man; he oannot divest himself of his public character. His congregation and his community are more or less held responsible for his opinions, words and actions. And we do not think this community is particularly pleased to read In the New York, BoBton and Philadelphia papers, how one of our most respeoted clergymen mingled freely, and on terms of the most perfeot amity and famil iarity, with the men who could not make a speech at any one of these oelebrations with out maligning and slandering our past, gloat ing over our late misfortunes, and persistently and continuously misrepresenting our presen! acts and views. But if we are mistaken in this, we soavoelj can be in error whon we say that the people of South Carolina have not authorized the Rev. gentleman to state when the elective franchise would be conferred upon the freed men of this State. This oan only be regard?e as gratuitous prophecy. We quote from a Boston exohange the foi lowing, whioh will explain the point animad verted upon : "Tlie Rev. Mr. Porter, of the South Carolini Episcopal Churob. who very recently preached i discourao in this city before the Freed m en's Oom nrirOiioii of the Protestant Episcopal Ghurob, ii making his appeal to our citizohu for aid in tin work bo was aent upon for his State, romarked o the two clasaos at the South-tbo' late slaves am thoir former owners-that 'tiio natural love tha existed between thom was not woll understood a the North. It was an undying lovo ; and evei under the present circumstances, blacks who wer separated from thoir masters during the war ar now auvious to return to them and work undo contract.' The revorend gentleman gave it as hi opinion that 'the most suooessful teaehora arnon, thom are Southerners, because they had the prac tice se well as tho theory.' AU they now wr.ii to waa the means. And ho added-the negro shoul be encouraged ; he had no ?ioubt that in a vear o two the Legislature of tho State would confer th elective franchise upon the blacks, with prope qualifications." We know that Mr. PORTER has the earn tion of hin Convention, in soliciting aid at th North for tho establishment of colored eobool and misnions in the Diocese of South Carol na. The poli?.y of the step at this unie, hov ever, we nevertheless olaim the right to col n question ; and most decidedly object to the nodus operandi adopted by the ?foremen ioned gentleman. Bishop GREGG, of Texas, has been in the North for some months on a similar mission. rhe Tribune contains letters from Texas ne groes, saying that the Bishop WUB not author ized to bog for thom ; that when they wanted their Northern friends to oBsist them in tho cause of education, eto., thoy -would send del egates of the proper color. Now it cannot but bo extromely unpleasant to Southern gon tlomon and oven Southern Christians to see a procedure of thiB kind, which puts it in tho power of a vile and habitually calumnious shoot liko tho Tribune, to snub some of our beBt mon,-and on what muBt appear to Northern roadors BB good grounds. Pride, wo are taught, ia unchristian, but Burely self-respect is tho foundation stone of all charactor. And in the present poBluro of affairs, we should prefer a little loss hob nobbing with our Northern brethron. We aro ploased to see a move in somo of tho Southern Statos toward independent Tract and Biblo Societies. If our Churches deem Buch institutions neceeBary, thore is no reason whatever why thoy should remain clients and peneionore of tho New York and New England religious cliquos ; who cannot hand a Biblo or a Tract to their Southern brother(V) without a taunt at the late slaveholder A recent copy of the Now York Tribune, in noticing the move just mentioned, duos so with its usual malignity, insinuating that the Southern Churches first got all they could out of these Societies, and then went off and left them. Tho reoords will show that the bulk of these foundations was contributed by Southern liberality. It _ not thus that union, harmony and Christian fellowship can be reetorod to a Buf fering country. The Confederate Deads Messrs. Editors: Please permit me again to ap pear in your journal, in order to expresa my thanks to Pbilo-Nekroa for the very kind manner in which he noticed my articlo relative to the orphana loft by our lato Confederate soldiers. I rejoice that he has taken up his kind and able pen,-for, on reading his article, I am led to be lieve that he ia almoat, if not altogether, per suaded ii his own mind that the immediate case to the rearing and educating the tender offspring of our valiant and faithful soldiers (who now fill the patriots'grave)-is of paramount importance. I admit that it ia our duty to search out and maintain the identity of the graves or burial place of our departed braves. Such has been the cus tom of all peoplo and nation?, and (aa I have hoard it before remarked) we have read of no Government, however despotic, that has ever de nied to man this Bacred privilege. But my object has been to impresa it upon the minda of theso devoted mothera, wives and sisters, forming the Ladies' Association of Charleston, the importance of letting this sympathizing and benevolent duty which they havo undertaken to perform, of identi fying and marking the gravea of departed hus bands, brothers and son, stimulate them with the determined resolution to go forward promptly in the great and gook work of immediately caring for the destitute widow and orphan. It ia now nearly five years since these tender children loat tho protecting hand of a kind father ; and we all know that it is with them, like as with the young and tender corn, which requires tho early work and constant caro of the husband man, that ho may clear away, dig about its roote, and keep down the obnoxious weeds and briers that would otherwise choke and destroy its valu able fruits. Just BO with the young, innocent and active mina of early childhood : it must have our prompt, watchful and constant cultivation, in order to savo it from the destructive vices and snares that are so certain, if negleoted, to blast the character and destroy that mind which, when breathed into man, ho became a living soul, and like unto the image of his God. PHILO-P-DON. ? ? ? Tlie Confederate Dead. Messrs. Editors: I have read with much interest two communications signed, " Philo-Prodon," relative to the "Ladies' Association to commemo rate the Confederate Dead." "Thilo" doubtless was induced to publish his prosy sentiments through tho promptings of a generous nature. The force.of his remarks must, of necessity, create friends in favor of a cause BO eminently worthy. There is, of necessity, how ever, a difference of opinion in regard to collecting funds for one object and applying it to another. Could we ask our Catholic neighbors to hand over the fonda collected at their recent fair, for the benefit of our Methodist friends ? , No doubt many who willingly contributed to th? Catholio cause would be much gratified with the transfer, but would it be Just to do BO ? Gould this bo done with propriety? I am aware of alargo uumol money that would most willingly bo appropriated by the holder for the benefit .of "A "Widows Home." Tho ladies of the Association do not propose any elaborate work of art-nothing costly, Thej do not desiro to trespass on the generosity of t people already crushed by the IOBS of all that ii near and dear to them; no, no, they only dosin to beautify the grounds and erect some eimplt monument, a sort of ehr in o where .wo may "ehec a tear of affectionate memory over the hallowe? ' spot, which sometimes act as a soothing balm t< the widowed heart." Who would deny this meian I choly pleasure? Generations yet unborn will eos their oblations there; tears of affection will sano tify it, and the memorycf the past, and of thi heroes that sleep there, will endear it more ant moro. Beautify tho graves of tho Conf?d?ral dead. Ah, yes; a Saviour wept over the grav? of his friend. Who thon will chide tho tears shei ou this sacred spot whore sleeps the dust of he roes ? Who will say that because tho dust has re turned to its original clement it needs not ou I caro? i t But while we care to perpetuate the memory o t the dead, let us not forget the sufferings of th ? living. Could "Philo's" suggested transfer be HI readily made, how appropriately could the larg sums of money sent ne by the kind ladies of lia * timor?, derived from the proceeds of their lat f_ fair, have been appropriated for the benefit of d "Home for the Destitute I" Long Binco. a dosir A has been manifested to form an association fo jj this noble purpose, but owing to tho etroit?ne r condition of our people the project boa only bee postponed, bnt not abandoned.
