JAMES B, CAMPBELL was yesterday olocted from this S1 'to to the Unitod States Senate, by a largo majr y on a joint vote of both Houses of tho Logisl ure. Thc Charleston Water Company has been incor? por?tes. A now District has been established in this State around the town of Aiken, to be called Cal? houn; and Pickons District has been divided into two districts. A resol ition has been passed in Congress to in quiro into tho President's power to restore confis? cated property. Tho Now York Times, of Monday, publishes in foll tho Rcporl cf Colonel WAGENEB to the South Carolina Legislature on European immigration. A Radical Unitod States District Judge at Huntsville, Ala., by thc name of BUSTLED, has de? livered a charge to his Grand Jury instructing them to find true bills for treason against persons I who have been engaged in war against the Unitod States Government, and also against persons who defame the Congress of Gie United States. The treasury of Florida, during the past year, received, on account of the State, $130,480.84, and disbursed, on the same account, $130,435.39; thus leaving to the credit of the State, at the close of tho year, only the small sum of $55.45. Dr. HORACE GBEIW, a physician of note, recently died in New York. He was the author of several treatises on the disoases of the lungs and air pas? sages, and made tho treatment of these a specialty. The great suspension bridge at Cincinnati is pro? nounced a decided success. Fully one hiindred thousand persons passed over it and back on Sun? day last, and the motion of the roadway was hard? ly perceptible. The CokimbnB Enquirer says: "Lieutentant General LONGSTREET, Colonel P. W. ALEXANDRE, the well known war correspondent, and Hon. JAB. M. SMITH, late of tho Confederate Congress, are in our city. Wo have been pleased to learn that the two last named gentlemen are likely to become residents." The Dalton Georgian says that that city is rising rapidly from the ashes. With the exception of Marietta and Atlanta, no city in the State suffered more. Most of what the fire spared was torn down and carried np to Chattanooga. Now, however, the people have gone to work with a will, and various manufacturing enterprises are in progress. Tho delegates to the French Canadian Conven? tion were entertained at a banquet lately by the New York members of the Association. Several patriotic toasts wore proposed, including one to the President of the United States, and Canada, the fortieth State in the Union. Tho North Carolina House of Representatives ? has passed a bill "granting a General Amnesty and Pardon to all officers and soldiers of the State of North Carolina, or of the late Confederate States Armies, or of the United States, for offences committed against the criminal laws of tho State of North Carolina." A statement comes to ns from Mexico, by way of San Francisco, to the effect that the French are in favor of ORTEGA'S claims to the Presidency. Gen. BAZAINE is said to have been supplying arms and ammunition to the opponents of JUAREZ, and to j have promised that, provided they use them against JUAREZ, the partisans of OBTEGA will net be inter? fered with by the French forces. Letters from the City of Mexico, dated Novem? ber 10, received at Washington, state that Marshal BAZAINE had organized and armed two Mexican regiments, and promised that the French troops should not interfere with them, provided they would declare for General OBTEGA and proclaim him President. Positive information of the occu? pation of Mazatlan, on tho 14th ult., by the Liber? als has been received in San Francisco. The Nashville Banner says that agents from Cincinnati and other points are travelling through tho South and bujing all the railroad iron torn np and damaged during the war. Large amounts have boen shipped from this place, and there is still more to be sent oft Old and rusty nails, twisted into all sorts of fantastic shapes, useless until remoulded, are piled up to be se at away and shaped for the new roads that are being built throughout the corntry, never again, let us hope, to be torn up by a ruthless soldiery. In the Southern General Assembly, now in ses? sion at Memphis, overtures have been adopted, and delegates appointed to bear to the Associated Reform Church and the Cumberland Presbyteries, in order to effect the union of these bodies with the Assembly. The attempt to remove the Theo? logical Seminary from Columbia, S. C., to Mom phis has failed. The report of the committee on the freedmen is eliciting much attention, and the ! indications are that the debate will be violent and protracted. In the Alabama Houseg of Representatives, on Friday, Mr. BROOKS presented a Bill to alter the Constitution of the State so as to admit of con? ditional negro suffrage. The conditions are that the- voter shall possess property to the amount of two hundredtdollars, and shall be able to read the Constitution of the State and of the United States, and write a legible hand. Thf conditions also to hold good in the case of white men. Mr. BROOKS ?was closely identified with the Confederate cause, having expended his last dollar in its support, and in presenting the Bill ho said that he did so as a measure of policy and for the public good. After an exciting debate the Bill was tabled. The news from Contra! America is not of spacial importance: The Guatemala Congress was to have met on the 19th of November. On the 1st and 19th ult., sharp shocks of earthquakes were felt in Salvador. Senor GUZMAN had been elected Presncbnt of Nicaragua. In Bogota the Arch? bishop had been expelled the State by the Executive, and b:s palace and archives seized. A movement was expected among HOSQUEBO'S friends to revolutionize the government and make bim monarch. A complimentary resolution of respect for the memory of HENRY CHAUNCEY and JOHN L. STEPHENS, and of thanks to them and WILLIAM H. AsPTiTWALL for their services in the projection of the Panama Railroad, has passed the Legislativo Assembly of Panama. Their portraits are to bo placed in tho reception room of the Executive mansion. The New York gerald's correspondence from Panama is to. November 23, and from Santiago, I Chile, to November 1. Tho Peruvian elections hid I roded in tho triumph of PRADO. Peaco negotia? tions with Spain were still going on. Spain had proposed to abandon the revolutionary claims, amounting to $80,000,000, and allow the courts of justico to settle private claims; but, it ?B behoved, as Peru still continues her war preparations, that she would not accept the propositions. General CASTILLO was banished to Chiloe. A raid on Cuba is warmly advocated by parties in Santiago, Chile Senor DON MANUEL MATTA, a Chilean Congress? man, had offered a resolution requesting thc Cabi? net Ministers to resign, and bitterly assailing President PEBEZ^ Ho was warmly urging its pass ago when the correspondence closed. Tho Peruvian conspirators had arrived under guard at Valparaiso. Gen. KILPATRICK was to have been married to a Chilean lady on tho 2d ult., and General VICKERS, an attache of tho legation, and a resident of Phila? delphia, was to' have been married on the 16th of November to tho sister of Gen. KTLPATRICK'S in? tended bride. J955" AO, communications intended for publication tn this journal must be addressed to the Editor of Hie Daily Netos, No. 18 Ilayne-street, Charleston, S. C.

THURSDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 6, 18G6. TJ1E CONFEDERATE DEAD AT CHAR? LOTTESVILLE. We print on our 7th page this morning a list of South Carolina soldiers buried in Char? lottesville, Va. The general hospital at that place, under the charge of Surgeons DAVIS and CADELL, during thc war ranked foremost among these asylums for the poor, homeless soldier. The hospital was considered the beBt organized in the Confederacy, and patients in? variably came away with a kind and affection? ate regard for the place, and,those who there ministered to him. Thc ladies of Charlottes? ville and the surrounding country will long be remembered by the "BoyB in Grey" wherever fate or fortune may hereafter cast their lot. It was to be expected that those who cared so well for the living would not prove forgetful of the dead-those who offered their life-blood for what they held most dear. Blessings upon the women of Virginia ; they will surely have iheir reward. OUR ADVISERS. JESOP, and other writers of fables, have a story, very amusing to the little folks, about a miller and his son, who weffc^-taking an ass to market. As the fable is familiar, wc need not repeat it. We all know the moral, viz: Self-reliance;-hear everybody's advice (if you must), but follow your own judgment. For some time, particularly during the past two months, every paper in the North has been teeming with advice to the people of the South. Many of the writers on the other side of the Atlantic even, have given us a figurative pat on the back, and counselled us about our conduct in the present aspect of political affairs. Those homilies are of course varied in their character, according to the source whence they emanate. Some doubtless are given with the best inten? tions. Others, pretending to equally laudable motives, exhibit an offensive assumption of superiority, and a pity, akin to contempt, for our misfortunes. Others still make no concealment of the ma? lignant hatred that inspires their thought, speech and action, whenever the word South or Southern is named. The Radical leaders in Congress are the representatives of this latter class. To them, and the people who send them, it is not sufficient that slavery-the Moloch so long assaulted by these godly knights-has been overthrown. They are not content with the desolation of the whole Southern land, in consequence of the unparalleled devastation I committed during the latter part of the war. That our labor is disorganized, our capital gone, without any visible means of recupera i tion ; that our crops have failed, and many of I our people are suffering for the wherewithal to live ; that our society is in a most undesirable state of transition;-these, and many other considerations we could enumerate, cannot touch them, steeled as they are against reason, by a blind fanaticism and unreasoning preju? dice. They, one and all, seem to be affiicted with auslrophobia-. Congress met on Monday, and the very first thing done by these sealots is to launch forth their envenomed shafts against, not a formidable enemy in a 'belliger? ent attitude, but against a vanquished foe. Surely this is rare magnanimity. I But to return to . ur advisers. We have had J advice from the President of the United States i and from the Secretary of State ; from Secretary BROWNING and Senator DOOLITTLE ; from Mr. RAYMOND and Mr. GREELEY ; from the World, the News, and the Evening Post, and daily homilies by the yard from the great preacher of the Herald. We have had advice also from BUTLER, BINGHAM, STEVENS and WILSON; from GERRITT SMITH and WENDELL PHLLIPS ; from WILLIAM TECUMSEH SHERMAN and Mr. NICHOLS, his right hand man. Our friends must not think hard of us, if, amid such an embarrass derichesses, we should sometimes be confused, and bo at a loss to know, on the' spur of thc moment, what course to pursue. This difficulty becomes greater when the adviser counsels one course one day, and another on the next ; and it is superfluous to indicate that several of the counsellors enumerated above have placed us in this unenviable predicament. To add still more to this perplexity, we haye had a number of advisers from within the limits of the Southern States. We have bad books, speeches and letters from "Southern Loyalists," i. e. JOHN MINOR BOTTS, H. S. FOOTE, W. G. BROWNLOW, JACK HAMILTON, etc.; and we have had letters from good Southern men, really entitled to give advice in the present uncertain and perplexing attitude of affairs. Many of us haye read all these, and also have watched intently the progress of our determined and aggressive enemies. The purpose of the Radicals is no longer con? cealed. Already have resolutions been offered in Congress to reduce us to the position of territories, and there is good reason te fear ili?il. ?his purpose will bc carried into effect ; and it may bo thc misfortune of South Carolina to fall thc prey of a modern VERRES, in thc person of BEN. BUTLER. Now what is our duty under thc circum? stances? Whose advice shall we heed? Cer? tainly that given by men situated like ourselves; men of position, wisdom and experience, who ; have won the esteem and confidence of their fellow-citizens. There is nothing for us lo do but to watch and wait ; attend to our social and material interests,-endeavor to patch up our broken fortunes, as well as can bc done under present inauspicious circumstance?, and leave the remainder to an all-wise and inscru? table Providence. Our ideas on thc subject are well expressed in thc following editorial article from thc New York Daily Neus of Saturday, headed "Master? ly Inactivity thc Policy of the South:*' "But meanwhile what arc tho Southom peoplo to do in behalf of thoir sectional interests? We an? swer, let them do nothing, so far as political action is concorned: Let them simply watch and wait. A. masterly inactivity is the best policy they can adopt. Time, that will gradually teach the masses of the North tho necessity of rodceming t!,.e re? publicanism of the country, will work out the problem in tho interests of tho South. The Radi? cals demand negro suffrago and tho ratification of the Constitutional Amendment. They can got neither except by the consent of the Southom States and the suffrages of the Southern people. Even the usurped power of a Radical Congress must bond to the mero fact of thc refusal to accept those conditions. The Legislatures of the South? ern States havo only to abstain from any action on the proposed amendment; the Southern people havo only to refrain from granting the elective franchise to tho freedmen. Congross, in either case, will be powerless to compel obedience to tho will of the Congressional majority. They can, it is true, keep the doors of the national capitol shut for a time against Southern representatives ; but let them do their worst, and the condition of the South will not bo worse than it has been since thc: cessation of hostilities. If the Southern people have lived for two years without central represen- j tation they can five without it for two years longer. There ia much virtuo in passive resist? ance, when the influence of time is in favor of those that passively resist. The masses of the North will soon appreciate that their inteiests require the political rehabilitation of the South. No member of the body politic can be wounded and deprived of the exercise of its natural functions without injury to the whole system. Monenius was right in saying that the limbs depend upon the belly for their health and vigor, but it is equally true t at the belly is dependent upon .the limbs. We may not be right in aUuding to a j Rump Congress as the belly of our body politic, j still we submit that the essence of our National Legislature is complete representation, and that a sectional Congress like that which i3 about to con? vene at Washington, cannot long exist without provoking anarchy and revolution, and cannot ? exist for a day except in antagonism with the first principles of a republican form of government. We say to tho South* in all that concerns nation- ! al politics, watch and wait. Let the Constitutional ! Amendment and the question of negro suffrage be ! ignored as far as possible; if thrust upon your communities, let them be rejected. Give your attention to the recuperation off your section from its material exhaustion. Labor to give activity and efficiency to your industrial spheres. Bring out the wealth of your soil, and gather in the treasures that Nature, in despite of Radical tyran? ny, is ready to pay you for the sweat of your brows. Become rieb, and prosperous, and you will find that you can make fair terms with thosi that would take advantage of your poverty to extort from you the surrender of your principles. It is with you simply a question of endurance. You have jewels that are precious to you; principles of inestimable value to you ard your children and your children's children. While you have strength to endure, do not sell them for privileges that aie your inheritance, and that, in time, you will recov? er without a shameful barter. ? TELEGRAPHIC:* There is a very lively fight going on in the papers all over the country at present, between the "Associated Press" and Mr. CEAIG, late its President, but now "running" an indepen? dent concern under thc name of the " United States and European Telegraphic News Asso? ciation." The Associated Press is doing its utmost to put Mr. CRAIG'S concern down, but Mr. C. shows fight, and is not disposed to be put down. He is said to have large means at his disposal, which will enable him to make a good fight. A large number of the Western, Washington, and Baltimore papers have ad? hered to the new concern. Mr. C. at present sends his dispatches to every town and city in the Union, whether they are wanted or not. This he does gratuitously, as to all the points where the Press has remained with the old As? sociation. The latter has established a rule excluding from thc pale of the Association any paper that will receive Mr. CRAIG'S dispatches; upon which Mr. C. threatens to send his dis? patches notwithstanding, and if they are not received by the Press he will have them bul? letined. Each of thes? rival aspirants is at present making herculean exertions to obtain the pat? ronage of the Press, and both send very full telegraphic abstracts of news. Our readers must doubtless have observed of late that our telegrams occupied much more space than they did formerly. "We are not sure, however, that we are the gainers; for a great deal of what is Bent is utterly worthless. Not unfrequently we receive dispatcher, nearly half a column in length, on some trivial subject of local impor? tance, that has no interest whatever to our people. These we sometimes publish and some? times suppress, according as we have time and space. Thus, on Saturday night last, we had a dis? patch from Toronto, stating that Mr. THOMAS D'ARCY MCGEB, in a speech, remarked that the Fenian prisoners (lately condemned in Can? ada) were doubtless guilty, and merited death, but that justice should be tempered with mer? cy, etc. Now who cares what Mr. T. D. MCGEE thinks about the verdict found by a Canadian jury? and to publish dispatches like these, operatois, messengers, editors, and printers are kept at work till long after midnight. > There has also been much complaint of late at the confused market quotations in our tele? graphic reports. This is not owing to any fault on our.part, or on the part of the telegraphic operators in this city, as they transmit the messages Verbatim as they receive them. The fault must lie with the agent in New York, who makes the abstract. We formerly receiv? ed the noon dispatch of the New York market about 12J or 1 o'clock in the day; now we sel? dom receive it before night, when, of course, it is useless; too late for the day's transactions, and not needed for the paper next morning, as there is another report of the market later in the evening. We hope thc present telegraphic difficulty will soon be adjusted, and that our dispatches be selected with somewhat more of judgment, and that more pains shall bo taken in obtain? ing early, accurate, and intelligible market quotations.
