Charleston, March 31, 1867. To (he Editor of the Daily Newt : 8lR :??I am a constant reador of your valuable nnd well conducted paper. . I m^Jx?YQ carefully read and approve of your articled on "Reconstruction," which is be fun in the right time. I believe they will ove great weight in enlightening the peo ple?white and black?nnd arousing them to tho importuuee of -united action lor the rebuilding of tho State. South Carolina is our common mother, and has got a sacred right to the services of her children. II er welfare and prosperity depends, under God, upon our manly and united efforts, and that wo will give her,. .God helping us. Goon gentlemen, let the nins.sea be in structed in their duty to tho State ; pro claim it?union among Carolinians?upon the mountains and down in tho valleys, lor "union is strength." There is ono thing which I object to in your paper, and that is your manner of re cording the proceedings of the Mayor's Court. You nave said that you arc our friends, and you can'r, complain of our friendship?therefore, act friendly, To mimo the black roughs nnd not to name .the white ones (and thoro arc sotnoprecious scamps among them) is unfair, and does not holp to make friends. I advise you to do away with everything that looks like prejudice, and let all classes havo fair ahowing, we will then havo no need to fear for the safety of our beloved State. Very respectfully, .

II will bo read with intoroat. Oonoral Sickloa said : Mr. President end gontlomcu, I thank you For yotu kind oxprossions ot co .fl?otico and commondatioii. 'l'ho ru ntion I bear to tho people of tho Carolinas, wb?e temporarily charged with tho supervision of th it gov ernment, imparts additional interest and gratiuca tion to tho honor conferred upon ino on the pr?s ont occasion by so many porsene of consideration. I presumo some of you may oxpoot from mo inti mations as to my lino of conduot. I shall not, I fear, gratify ovon a reasonable dogrco of curiosity un that subject. But at all ovontH I may, without departing from tbo reserve imposed lipon mo by my official position, and ita responsibilities and duttos, toll you what I shall not do. First, 1 snail not tor a moment thiuk of depriv ing mvBolf of tho nblo and ofUcient -operation of my old friond Oovornor Orr. (Oicat cheering.) Nor sball I fail to avili myself of tbo aid and aseis tanoo of any other civil officer in South Carolina, who porforms hia duty as zealously and faithfully as I know Oovornur Orr has oudoavorcd to dis charge bis du tv. (Cheers.) Qontlemon, I am suro I ean add, not only for my self, but fur overy Ulcer of tho army of the United States. sorviiiT tinder my command, thai under no circumstances will wo sanottonauy act of injustice spoliation or wron? committed upon any citizen of North or South Carolina. Qontlomon, I w 11 oiler to von onotlior assuranco; Sou have my authority for tho statement to c untat ila, tradote, to manufacturers?to all who desire to embark in your agricultural field of labor, and to all who wisli to invest moneys in your securities and io your leads, that tho military authorities will do nothing tending to impair tho value of your pos sessions, or to iucrcoso tho 11 -lia of those who havo heretofore embarked in enterprises on your soil. YYhatovcr wo can do to Htrcugthon cdnlldonoo in your resources, and to promuto tho material pros perity of tho commonwealth shall bo dono. I concur heartily in tbo oouidont oxpectations wInch havo boon expressed aa to your futuro. I niu ono of thoso who believe that tuero aro fow things impossible to American.1-. I buliovc that tho civil and political misfortunes, tho disuslors in trado and agrioulluro, tho privations, hopes and dis couragements you havo suffered, and which wotdd havo crushed almost any pooplo who hod noi ex traordinary enorgies. pcrsovoranco and faith in tho futuro, will all bo conqueri d by tho o?os tioity, vigor and fort:tutto characteristic of tho American pooplo. Tlioro la nothing lu tho his ory of South Carolina that suggests that you aro an oxcoption to thoso traita of our countrymen. It may not bo unbecoming in mo to eay, although you would perhaps refrain from saying so yourselves, that, i? tbo war which has just closod, thq pooplo of tho South havo ehown suoh resources', and tbo ability to employ thorn, and suoli energy, and resolution, and oourae-o, ne will, if wisely directed, surmount groator dimeui tios than any now boforo them. I will go further, and venturo a BUggostion in reference to your lino of aotion. Of course I shall not trespass upon tho political arena; for as to that I am as muoh disqualified no Iiis Exoollouoy tho Oovornor, t.,ouch not by a oonetitutional amendment. (Liughtor.) I shall, abstain, as I am required to do by tho duties of my position, from any allusion to tho political bearing of any matter which you havo to consider. With this 1*0? Borvation, lot me eay to you. go -Uomen. in all can dor, that ono of tho first-duties you havo to din ohorgo to yourselves and to your foUow-ailizons, is to remove all dit- trust as tu your purposes, footings, and intentions in ho futuro towards tho coloro j race ; this distrust lo, in my judgment, tbo main obstacle to tbo cordial co-operation and good understanding of tho two races. Tho oausos tor tho existing alienation should, perhaps, bo looked for in tho oar y history of your Stato and her formor institutions. But t-.oeo ar? cou ide ra tions of tho past. I do not roo from my point of view any reason why tho undoubted ide n fit of in terest that uoos exist, and muet ever exist between the white and colored races iu South Carolina, shall not result in tueir pursuing in comtno j all the ends of society and government aa heartily and suocossfuliy aa If the old relation of master and elavo had never existed, (Applauso.) Ono method of reconciliation ie bo nearly allied with tbo dis charge of my own duties, that I will add to this suggestion an illustration. I think it behooves overy white man, and moat especially overy vrhito man of consideration and influence, in South Caro lina, to oxert that induoace, bo it little or mnch. for tho fair, honest, aud impart al execution of tho tawo, wnioa eoouru protection 10 pereon, character and properly. Whosoever is ooncornod?bo ho white or colored?lie ho rich or poor?yon must carry this resolntion with you to the jury box, to tbo ballot-box, upon tho seat of justioo, in your municipal government, iny-.ur halla of legislation, and to your re con ? true tion oonvontion when it shall meet. Equal justice should be a cardinal maxim in tho polity of your State, not only becauao it ie your interest to have a contented, prosperous and happy laboring population, but for higher roasons, because it is just and right. (Cheers.) If tho col ored pooplo are ignorant and poor and prono to error, tho ovulent losaon must cominond itself to tho heart and conscience of every good citizen, that the poor and ignorant should onioy tho pro tection of the nob, intelligent, and influential citi zen. It is my belief, that whon y u havo convinced tho colored pooplo by your lawa and your adminis tration of thorn, that you moan to do th m justice, you will havo solved tho most difficult problem you Lave to consider in your allait s. You will, at the samo timo, obviate nineteen out of twenty of tho instances in which tho oxeroiso of military au thority jour affaire becomes necessary. (Cheers.) Mr. President and gontlonion, allow mo to malto a remark for tho purpose of disabusing your minds of any orr ncoua impressione in rogar. to tho sou 1 unenti! of tho peuple of the North toward tio people of tho South. I affirm as my real convic tion, that (ho measures of Congress now to bo executed hero, under my direction, havo not been adopted with any purpose of retaliation <jt hostili ty, nor to impede or impair ' the prospority and welfare of tbo South. Tho people of tho North do ?H ?csiro to maintain a Military Government anywhoro in this country. Tuoy rogard that sort of Government aa repugnant to our institutions, and deprecato its p.olongation anywhoro as a mu-fortuno. Thoy do not de sini on tho other baud that tho pooplo, enfranchised by their action, ehall be loft alto gether and wholly subject to tho control of thoso by whom thoy havo been heretofore- held in servi tude, - Mor do thoy desire. that this numerous race, by roiaon of any oppression or obstacles piacod in the way of their well-bo.ng horo, whoro thoy belong, ehall bo cunstrained to out looao from t hoir moo rings horo and omigr&'.o to othpr and loss oongonlaj parta of the country, whoro thoy could Hud no sui table or adequato demand for their labor. Other elrnihr ooueidorations bava contributed their i nil nonce to tho adoption of tho measures now to bo executed. I' waa apparent that tho reorganization of tho political insti utiona of tho South would most speedily terminato the nosossity for military occupation aud "military con rol, If the prosonoa of troops was ne cessary to srjfprgo the rights of tho freed men, tuo obvious remedy, lu a republican form of government, waa to givo tho enfranchised race, by means of the ballot, tho power to onforoo rust eel for tholr privileges aa citizens. Tho adv?calos cf universal suffrago aro cor?mily fr?en.Ily to tho col ored pooplo ; therefore it is certain tuoy wish uo misfortune to tho commun i lies in which the colorod people must continuo, for weal or woo, to dwell. Pur from it. On the contrary, they boliovo that this addition to tho representativo popuktiou of tbo country, in addition to ite military-power and ite moans of production, must rosult, not only in groat and substantial good to tho nation a largo, but that groat and substantial blosalngs must follow to tbo pooplo of tho South. It is not so much my purposo to convinco you that these mea* eures will accomplish tho boneilcont results con templated by Congress, as it is to commend thom to your judgment and appreciation in tholr truo purposo aud objoot, according to my bollof; and also, gentlemen, to assure, you thai It Is in this sonso, and with these hopea that, so far aa iny du ties aro concerned, theso seto of Congroas will bo oxocutod. That tho result, to yoursoivos, to your posterity, and* to our common country, may strengthen and ondear tho ties that must hence forth mako our destiny Inseparable, is my prayor and will bo my o am est endeavor. Gentlemen, I oommond to you the brighter as pect of tuo futuro. Thor o has never boon an im portant experiment in publio ? (Ta irs, that lian not suggested tbo gravosi doubts und difficulties, and especially la this true in tho mattor of suffrago. Every largo addition to tho voting population of a country bao excited tho alarm of many who ianciod themselves among tho wiHC.it of their generation. When universal suffrago was granted to tho white race, it waa predicted that it would involvo tho downfall of tin Bopublio. Tho mturaUzation laws, and tho ooueoquont cri co ura onion t u ivon to emigration, have brought to our choros millions of Kuropoans of overy race aud elimo. At the out?ot it waa predicted that this foreign olomoat would rovolutionlzo our institutions and brook down our experiment of free government. Groa : Britain, iu 1693, by tho Boform Bill, added a vorv largo num ber to tho voting population of that empir?. Many British statoauion maintained then, that aa a necessary coti.-.equcnc j tho declino and downfall ot England was Imininout, if not inevitable. Now wo eoo the leaders of the Tory party originating and advocating a moaeuro of onfranchieomoiit, com pared with whioh tho Boform Bill of 1832 was in significant. Gontlemon, I oommond to you that in choosing your ooureo you uhoald not assumo that overy pos siblo danger is inevitable. Take tho risk, Do all you can to avert unhappy conaoquonees ; but cling and oleavo to tho brighter hope. Lot ua havo faith in our good fortuno. Lot us believe that tho bo n?ik?nt result la practicable, and If it bo truo, as many of us have boon admonished to believe, by tho oven te ao unforeseen and ineoruttblo of tho past fow yeare,?if it bo true that hi this epoch of war, emancipation and enfranchisement, wo aro in tbo hands of a higher I'r- vidonco, lead ing us to tho fulfilment of a destiny wo perhaps but dimly eoo, lot ne have faith that that aamo Providence whioh baa conducted us thus iar through many hazards and diuloultica'of tho ex periment of aepubllcan froodom. will -yet load ua aafoly through too dangers, and difficulties that now aoomto lio in our war. Lot ua have faith . that in tho future, as in tho past, liberty and froe mon may vindicate thomsolvo* against tho anoera and double of thoir enomios. - Tho history or groat oommonwealths provos that in proportion to their freedom they gained in prosperity and powor, at* In culturo and military ronotTii. Power tint? dovolopod is conaorvativo to nations and to civilization. It may bo that for a bnof poriod whilo tuo now order of tilinga ia in ptoooes of adjustment, tbo produotivo capacity of tho South will be impaired. This cannot last long.. Tho cotton crops raised by froe labor last year under greater disadvantages than aro likoly -vor io occur ai'ain, sold for as muoh as tho lnrgost orop ever raised Su tho South. Duforu many jyoare the most prosperous, opulent and contented agricul tural population iu tho world will cultlvato tho ter ritory lyiug botwoou tho Potomac aud tho Bio Orando. Iu conclusion, lot mo borrow on illustration from the must brilliant of modem historians. "Ariosto tells a prutty ?tory of a fairy, who, by eomo mys terious law of her naturo, was condomncd to sp utar at certain seasons in tbo form of a foul and vcnoinouH snako. Those who Injured hor during tho period of her dir.guiuo, woro forovor excluded fi um participation in tho bloHsinga she bestowed.

To do loss than that would bo touubjoct my noir to tho roproaoh of failing to approdato a flattoring com pliment.

Railroad Detention.?Wc loam that tho detention of the mail train on tho Wil mington aud Weldon Railroad yesterday was due to tho burning of tho track in throo places about twelve miles from the city. From threo to five bunrlrnrl ,.,,r,iH 0f wood, belongiug lu ..uu--uompauy, piled along sido the roud, wero ignited during the night, and the firo communicated to the track. It is feared that the work was not the result of accident, but wo have not heard of suspicion pointing to any particu lar individuals. The same night the nut ward bound train escaped total destruction by one of those rcmarknble providences that so often direct the fate of men. An entire rail had been removed from the track just beyond Smith's creek bridge, and the engine and whole train passed over the gap without displacing tho wheels of any of the cars. Upon examination the rail was found thrown to one stdo and all the spikes removed. These occurrences indicato that there arc evil disposed persons along the road who will not stop at anything in venting their spite. It in said the inability of the com pany to settle claims for wood, &c., prompt ly has caused considerable ill-feeling, ana a desire for revenge. Tho villaine who would thus murder a train full of irre sponsible parties to gratify their evil pas sions againet individuals, should remember that euch crimes cannot long go unpunish ed, and that instead of advancing their own ends, they lessen their chances of speedy payments by crippling the finances of their debtors. We bavo no doubt every effort will be made to discover tho perpetrators of these deeds, and bring thorn to justice. [Wilmington Ditpatch. . Fire Parade.?:Tho four Are compa nies of this, city wore out with their engines yesterday afternoon, on Market street, for their usual monthly praotico. Several trials of skill were had between tho differ out companies, and tho result told well, not only for the strength and capacity of the engines, and the good manner in which they were handled, but also for tho general efficiency of that hrnnoh of the Fire De partment. Theso four engines are all un der tho charge of colored companies, yet their efficiency is truly commenduble. The different organizations seem as thorough and eo-.iplote oa we have ever known them to be in the palmiest of the days of yore, and, in ease of a visitation from fire, our citizens need be under no apprehension of the want of exertion in that quarter. We, regret very much that a shower bath, gratis, from a bursted lioso, compelled ub to beat hasty retreat before tbo final trial of skill between the different companies. [ Wilmington Journal.
