CHARLESTON. March 31,1867. To the Editor of the Daily News : SIR :-I am a constant reader of your valuable and well conducted paper. I have oarefully read and approve of your articles on "Reconstruction," which is be? gun in the right time. I believe they will have great weight in enlightening the peo? ple-white and black-and arousing them to the importance of united action Tor the rebuilding of the State. South Carolina is our common mother, and has got a sacred right to the services of her children. Her welfare and prosperity dependsj UL der God. upon our manly and united efforts, and that we will give her, God helping us. Go cn gentlemen, let the masses be in? structed in their duty to the State ; pro claim it-union among Carolinians-upoc the mountains and down in thc valleys, foi "union is strength." There is one thing which I object to ir your paper, and that is your manner of re cording the proceedings of the Mayor'.' Court. You have said that you are ou; friends, and you can't complain of om friendship-therefore, ace friendly, T< .name the black roughs and not to nam* the white ones (and there are some preciou; soamps among them) is unfair, and doe: not help to make friends. I advise you ti do away with everything that looks lik< prejudice, and let all classes have a fai: showing, we will then have no need to lea for the safety of our beloved State. Very respectfully, FREEDMAN. Ladies who have had handsome silks cu ?0 suit the short dress fashion, will be sorr to learn that long dresses are coming int style again. ______ A farmer in Washington county, Pa. was stabbed in twenty-one places by an ur known man. GEN, SICKLES' ADDRESS TO THE CHARLESTON BOARD OF TRADE. In accordance with our promise yesterday morn? ing:, TO publish in full, to-day, the address of Gen. D. E. SICKLES, at the dinner givon by tho Ch 'ries ton Board of Trade on Tuesday evening: last. It will bo road with interest General Sickles said : Mr. President and gentlemen, I thank you for your kind expressions of co..fidonce and commendation. The re ation I bear to the people of the Carolinas, while temporarily charged with tho supervision of th ir gov? ernment, imparts additional interest and gratilica tion to tho honor conferred upon mo on tho pres? ent occasion by so many persons of consideration. I proaumo some of j'ou'may expect from me inti? mations as to my line of conduct. I shall not, I fear, gratify even a reasonable degree of curiosity on that subject. But at all events I may, without departing from the reserve imposed npon me by my official position, and its responsibilities and duties, tell you what I shall not do. First, I shall not tor a momont think of depriv? ing myself of tho able and efficient co-operation of my old friend Governor Orr. (Gieat oheering.) Nor shall I fail to avail myi-olf of the aid and assis? tance of any other civil officer in South Carolina, who performs his duty as zealously and faithfully as I know Governor Orr has endeavored to dis? charge his duty. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, I am sure I can add, not only for my? self, but for every rfficer of the army of the United States, serrina under my command, that under no circumstances will we sanction any act of injustice spoliation or wron? committed upon any citizen of North or South Carolina. Gentlemen, I w.ll offer to you another assurance; you have my authority for the statement to capital? ists, tradeis, to manufacturers-to all who desire to embark in your agricultural field of labor, and to all who wish to invest moneys in your securities and in your lands, that the military authorities will do nothing tending to impair tho value of your pos? sessions, or to increase tho risks of those who nave heretofore embarked in enterprises on your soil. Whatever we can do to strengthen confidence In your resources, and to promote the material pros? perity of the commonwealth shall be done. I concur heartily in the corn dont expectations [ which have been expressed as to your future. I am j one of those who believe that there are few things I impossible to Americans. I believe that the civil and political misfortunes, the disasters in trade and agriculture, the privations, hopes and dis? couragements you have suffered, and which would have crushed almost any people who had not ex? traordinary energies, perseverance and faith in the future, will all be conquered by the elas? ticity, vigor and fortitude characteristic of the American people. There is nothing in the his'orv of South Carolina that suggest that you are an exception to theso traits of our countrymen. It may not be unbecoming hi me to say, although you would perhaps refrain from saying so yourselves, tbat, m the war which has just closed, the people of the South have shown such resources, and the ability to employ them, and such energy, and resolution, and courage, aa will, if wisely directed, surmount greater difficul? ties than any now before them. I w?l go further, and venture a suggestion in reference to your line of action. Of coarse I shall not trespass upon the j ilitioal arena; for as to that I am as much disqualified as his Excellency the Governor, tuougn not by a constitutional amendment. (Laughter.) I shall abstain, asl I am required to do by tho duties of my position, from any allusion to the political bearing of any matter which you have to consider. With this re? servation, let mo say to you. gentlemen, in oil can? dor, that one of the first duties you have to dis? charge to yourselves and to your fellow-citizens, is to remove all distrust as to your purposes, feelings, aud intentions injhe future -tposdert&d\'GKnra* j?fey- "distrust 75, in my judgment, the main obstacle to tho cordial co-operation and good understanding of tho two races. The causes lor tho existing alienation should, perhaps, bo looked for in the ear y history of your State "and her former i Gstitutions. But t^ese are con [dera? tions of the past. I do not see from my point of view any reason why the undoubted identity of in? terest that uoes exist, and must ever exist between the white and colored races in South Carolina, shall not result in t jeir pursuing in coniuioi all the ends of society and government as heartily and successfully as if the old relation of master and slave had never existed. (Applause.) Ono method of reconciliation is so nearly allied with the dis? charge of my own duties, that I will add to this suggestion an illustration. I think it behooves every white man, and most especially every white mqn of consideration and influence in South Caro? lina, to exert that influence, be it little or much, for the fair, honest, and impart al executiou of tho Liws, which secure protection to person, character and property. Whosoever is concerned-bo he white or colored-bo he rich or poor-you mast carry thiB resolution with you to the jury box, to the ballot-box, upon the seat of justice, in your municipal government, in y .ur hr.lls of legislation. and to your reconstruction convention when it shall meet. ' anal justice should bo a cardinal maxim in the polity or your State, not only because it is your interest to have a contented, prosperous and happy laboring population, but for higher reasons, because it is just and right. (Cheers.) If the col? ored people are ignorant and poor and prone lo error, the evident lesion must commend itself io the heart and conscience of every good citizen, that th<* poor and ignorant should onioy the pro? tection of the rich, intelligent, and infiuential citi? zen. It is my belief, that when y-u have convinced the colored people by y-jur laws and your adminis? tration of them, that you mean to do th -m justice, you "will have so '/ed the most difficult problem you have to consider in your afiairs. You will, at tho same timo, obviate nineteen out of twenty of the instances in which tile exercise of military au? thority n your affairs becomes necessary. (Cheers.) Mr. President and gentlemen, allow me to inalto a remark for tho purpose of disabusing your minds of any err. neons impressions in regar.i ty tho sen? timents of the people of the North toward t ie poopie of the South. I affirm as my real convic? tion, that the measures of Congress now to be executed hero, under my direction, havo not boen adopted with any purpose of retaliation or hostili? ty, nor to impode or impair the prosperity and welfare of tho South. Tho people of tho North do n^fc desire to maintain a Military Government anywhere in this country. They regard that sort of Government as repugnant to our institutions, and depreoato its prolongation anywhere as a misfortune. They do not do sire on the other hand that the people, enfranchised by their action, shall bo left alto? gether aud wholly subject to the control of those by whom they have been heretofore held in servi? tude. Nor do they desire that this numerous race, by reason of any oppression or obstacles placed in ?he way of their well-being here, where they belong, shall be constrained to cut loose from their moorings here and emigra.o to other ana less oongonial parts of tho country, where they could find no suitable or adequate demand for their labor. Other similar considerations have contributed their influe nco to the adoption of tho measures now to be executed. It waB apparent that the reorganization of the political mat i ut ions of the South would most speedily terminate tl io necessity for military occupation aud military courol. If the presence of troops was ne? cessary to enforce tho rights of the freed? men, the obvious remedy, in a republican form of government, was to give the enfranchised raoe, by means of the ballot, the power to enforce respect for their privileges as citizens. The advocates cf universal suffrage are certainly friendly to the col? ored people ; therefore it is certain they wish no misfortune to the communities in which the colored people must coutiuue, for weal or woe. to dwell. Far from it. On the contrary, they believe that this addition to ihe representative popul. tioD of the country, in addition to ito military power and its means of production, must result, not only in great and substantial good to the nation a: largo, but that great and substantial blessings must follow to tue people of the South. It is not so much my purpose to convince you that these mea? sures will accompli jh the beneficent results con? templated by Congress, as it is to commend them to your judgment and appreciation in their true purpose and object, according to my belief; and also, gentlemen, to assure you that it is in this sense, and with these hopes that, so far as my du? ties are concerned, these acts of Congress will bt> executed. That the result.- to yourselves, to your posterity, and to our common country, may strengthen and endear the ties that must hence? forth make our destiny inseparable, is my prayer and will bo my earnest endeavor. Gentlemen, I commend to you the brighter as? pect of the future. There has never boen an im? portant experiment in public affairs, that has not suggested the gravest doubts aud difficulties, and especially is this true in the matter of suffrage. Every largo addition to thc voting populitiwi ol a country ha3 excited thc alarm of many who ?meied themselves among thc.wisest ot* their generation. When universal suffrage was granted to thc white race, it was predicted that it would involve the downfall of tue Republic. Tho naturalization laws, and the consequent oncourayoaient tiven to emigration, have brought to our shores millions of Europeans of every race aud clime. At the outs o it was predicted that this foreign element would revolutionize our institutions and break down our experiment of freo government. Groa, Britain, ia 1832, by tho Reform Bill, added a vcrv large num? ber to tho voting population of tba: empire. Many British statesmen mauitamod then, that as a necessary cou. cqucne? tho dociino and downfall of England was imminent, if not inevitable. Now we seo the leaders of tho Tory party origin .'ting ana advocating a measure of enfranchisement, coin pared with which tho Reform Bill ol' lb'32 was in? significant. Gentlemen, I commend to you that in choosing youi- course you shoula not as'suine that every pos? sible danger is inevitable. Take tho risk. Do all you can to avert unhappy consequences ; but cling and cleave lo tho brighter hope. Let us bavcfai?i u om* good fortune. Lotus boliovo that th- be? neficent result is practicable, and if it bo true, as many of us have been admonished to believe, by tho events so unforeseen and inscrutable of the past fow years,-if it bo true that in this epoch of war, emancipation and euiranchiscment, wo aro in tho bandi of a higher Pr. videuco, lead? ing us to the fulfilment of a destiny we perhaps but dimly seo, lot us have faith that that same Providence which has conducted us tnus .ai through many hazards and dilhcultics ol' tuo ex? periment of Republican freedom, will yet lead us safely through tuj dangers and difficult?s that now "seem io Loin our way. Let us have faith that in tho future, as in the past, liberty and free? men may vindic.it ; themselves against the sneers and doubts of their onomies. The history or great commonwealths proves tba! in proportion to their freedom they gained in prosperity and power, as in culture and military renown. Power tims developed is conservative to nations nnd to civilization. It may be that .for a brief period while the new order of things ?B in process of adjustment, the productive capacity of the South will be impaired. This cannot last long. The cotton crops raised by free labor last year under greator disadvantages than aro likely *ver to occur again, sold for as much as the largest crop over raised in tho South. Before many years the most prosperous, opulent and contented agricul? tural poDulation in the world will cultivate the ter? ritory lying between the Potomac and the Rio Grande. In conclusion, let me borrow an illustration from the most brilliant of modern historians. "Ariosto tells a pretty story of a fairy, who, by some mys? terious law of her nature, was condemned to ap pc ar at certain seasons in the form of a foul and venomous snake. Those who injured her during the period of her disguise, wore forever excluded from participation in the blessings Bhe bestowed. But tb those who, in spite of her loath? some aspect, pitied and protected her, she afterwards revealed herself in the beautiful and celestial form which was natural to her, accom? panied their steps, granted ail their wishes, fi led their homes with wealth, made them happy in love and victorious in war. Such a spirit is "liberty. At times she takes the form of a hateful reptile. She grovels, she hisses, she stings. But woe to those who in disgust snail venture to crush her? And happy are those, who, having dared to re? ceive her in her degraded, frightful shape, shall, at length, be rewarded by her in the time of her beauty and her glory." (Groat cheers. ) [At a late hour in the evening, Gen. SICKLES, in response to the sentiment offered by CoL 0. A. AND BEWS, President of the Chamber of Commerce, said : "I trust that nothing more will be expected of mo than to return my sincere thanks for this hearty manifestation of your kind regard and esteem. To do loss than that would be to subject myself to the reproach of failing to appreciate a flattering com? pliment. It is a bad practice in civil and political UJ lairs, to make promises ; and as an officer J. have noue to mako, for mine is the plain and simple duty to obey orders. But this much I may venture to say, that I . hail endeavor at the close of my labors among you, to deserve en expression of your confidence similar to thai, with which you cheer me now in the commencement of my task." The following was tb* toast offered by Col. ANDREWS : Tlie Lommandinq General of Hie Dis.riot.-In? vested with the most august responsibility on earth, may he so discharge his trust, as to satisfy his friends and disappoint his enemies.] ANNUAL MEETING OF THE STOCKHOLD?

The ourrent expenses, os ?bown by the statements of the Superintendent, have boen swelled by many items which, had it been practicable to have separated them with acuracy, would properly have been charge? able to reconstruction, and also by the un? avoidable expense attending the transaction of our business, under circumstances, through muoh of the year, which were adverse to its economical management. Wo oro con ildotifc, however, that they can be materially re? duced the coming year. At your last mooting, you were advised that the Board of Directors were considering some process for settling the interest of the Compauy then due and unpaid. It was finally determined to issue Certificates of Indebtedness for the same, and also that to accrue, during the year 1866, to an extent not exceeding $250,000, payable on 1st January 187?, bearing 7 per cent, 'interest payable semi? annual! w No other alternative remained to them, and it is, substantially, the warne os has been adopted by other Roads, and Corporations, under similar circumstances. While thestrongost morned institutions of the country had been Bwept away by the war, these had survived, though in a wrecked and crippled condition, and timo was absolutely essen biol to their recuperation from its calamitous results. Tho equity and necessity of the above mode of settlement or compromise, have been so generally admitted that we trust it wiU eventually prove auf ?icie t for the purpose in view. The whole amount to be funded was $233,249.50, of which $5.163.27 was retired in settlement of freights, $52,818.50 closed by Cortilcates of Indebted? ness, leaving $175.267.73 still to be funded. In the re-adjustment of the Company's ac? counts on tho 1st June, 1865, in order to Bhow its actual condition, at the close of tie war, the details of which were given in our last report, so much of this interest as had then accrued, $123. 118.85, was represented as among our liabilities, and therefore, considered as forming a part ot the cost of the Road on that date, $j,040 000. That which has Binoo become duo, $108,180.63, was charged to the same account, making this cost $2,148,130.65. All interest maturing since 1867, ha? been paid as applied for. The indebtedness of the Company is as follows : 1400 First Mortgage Bonds, due September i, 1839, each *000. $700,000.00 *290 Second Mortgage Bonds., due September li 1868, each S600. 115,000.00 *3100 Shares Prelerred Stock, due May 1, 1873, each i>50. 165,000.00 Outstanding Interest. 175,207.73 Certii,cateB of Indebtedness. 52.818.CU Heal Estate Bonds. 28,000.011 Bills Payable. 27,380.72 Ooen Accounts. 16,792.2'j Stockholders. 898,95<J l&,U9,2Q9.24 The resources of thc Company to mt. c this in? debtedness arc : The Koud at a cost of.S2,148,130.0?

As soon as tho circutn stances Ol'Ibo Company will permit, some provi sion should bo made for the payment of these cor ti unto j at their maturity. In the details of tht business of thc road thc past year, you aro referroc to tlie ropoit of ttic Supcnntond-nt. It show! that wo have transported 21,589 bales cotton, 22/ 030 borr?la naval stores, und 2,000,000 feet lumber against 58 401 bales cotton, and 59,150 barrels nava stores in 1859-18130, and 40,281 bales cotton and 59, 800 barrels naval stores in 18d0-18til. Having no otho, resources than the income o the road for tho payment of its expenses and in torcst, matured aud manuring, wc have adjustct our tariils more with reference to thes? tuan to aa aueiiuiuittliou of prolits or dividends. In th present prostrate condition of tho country, th expectation of these shoidd be deferred; tho "noces sitios of our com nuaity, and the concession which are required of us to build up new business and return that which wo formerly had, cannot b ignored; and lioncj it would seem reasonable tha wmic tho owners of our property aro receiving ni advantage therefrom, those who are hoing bene fir toi by its facilities, sh ou d bo reconciled to sud tariffs aa will accomplish the result inchoate ab'jvo. Tue road generali/, is in exoellent condition * lhe amount of Second Mortgage Couds issued, I ?300,000, but na the Preferred Stook, to the ?Ment ofv issue, waa Becured by the deposit of a coxrespouuiu amount ol these Bonis, in tho bauds of dareo Trustee! this lability is expressed in the aggregate, lu the abo? Items. During the last year, large amounts of timber and oroaa-tiea have been placed in the track, all defec? tive rails removed-two permanent brid?es put up at BkckEiver and Lvnon's Creek-and all deoots, tanka, &c., thoroughly; repaired. Our new freight and passenger depots in the city have been com? pleted, and, jointly with the Wilmington '& Man? chester road, a commodious passenger shed has been put up at Florence. The machinery of the road consists of 12 locomotives, 8 of which are in good order, 8 unde or requiring repair, and 1 to bo rebuilt. No additions have been made to this stock since the c ose of the war. By a judicious system of repair, it has fulfilled the demands of the past season, and we behove can be made to answer those ot the next. Our rolling stock con? sists of 64 box and 81 platform cars, 8 passenger cars, 4 second class, 8 baggage and 3 mau express c JS. lt should be remarked, that the whole of this equipment is on a smaller Beale than is desir? able, especially as much of it, from its advanced age, is hable to frequent repair, but no additions are proposed, natif Buch are warranted by our actual or prospective necessities. What we are more directly : concerned in, is an amount of unremunerative business, equal to the capacity and condition of the road. That this is involved in the agricultural revival and develop? ment of the country must be obvious to you. The products of the soil aro our only permanent and reliable sources of income-not simply in their ac? tual transportation, but as they are the basis and vitalizing element of every branch of our opera? tions. How far these are tobo affeoted by tho momentous political issues of the day and the un? certainties attaching to the piesent system of labor remains to be seen; but the future can scarcely be worse tuan the past, and we are even encouraged to hope, from the incroased area of land planted this season, its better condition, and tne heavy amounts of guano and other fertilizers now being supplied to it, that much larger returns will be realized. Throughout tho country directly bordering on the road the production of Naval Stores is being gxadnall7 resumed, several exten? sive saw mills have been pat np, and there are other indications of improvement. During Lhe en? suing Fall two important bridges will be comple? ted, by their respective Companies, ? cross the Pee Dee river, at Cheraw, and Society Hill, which will greatly facilitate the passage to us of the pro? ducts beyond that river. We are also encouraged by the prospects of a speedy restoration of the Savannah and Charleston Road. The obstacles to its' earlier reconstruction have beon removed, and it is now in the banda of parties who will re-estaDlish it with the least pos? sible delay. This will give to the Northward tra? vel of Savannah, tho opportunity of passing through our city, and will perfect i direct and con? tinuous route, by rail, between New York and St. Mark's, (Florida.) The project of a steam? ship hue from St. Mark's to Havana, has been sug? gested, which, if carried out, would unquestiona? bly attract to us a very large proportion of tho Cuban travel. The road from Fernandina to Cedar Keys will also soon be in operation, which, in con? nection with steamers, then to run. between Charleston and Fernandina, will conneot us with all the principal points in Florida. We are further encouraged by an increasing public interost in tho construction of tho Cheraw and oo lfields Road, which we trust, under more propitious - circum? stances, will insure its progrese. By the exten? sion of the Wilmington and Rutherfordton Road, the products of certain sections, which have, here? tofore, so acht this market, are now being directed from us, and our only hone of retaining, or compe? ting for them, is in the building of the Coalfields Road. ? severe struggle is going on in this, and oth? er directions for the trade of our city, and new Roads are being projected, which may ultimately so invest us that its loss will be inevitable, unless I timely measures are take? for count crafting such j approaches. The same necessity ox it ts for every grac ti cable enlargement of our commtroialfacih 03 ?nd advantages. These attract trade, and, comutned with an harmonious action n the part of all ^j-^nrerestsj^mnerned in i te v ; I. nt ion, are our sd^Bfctjgnlfc^ttt the^c^ts > adjoining w.fMfkH IL UirarOa WiUUlu^n, . _ w|0rN Portsmouth, and point northward oe us.

RAILROAD DETENTION.-We learn that the detention of the mail train on the Wil? mington and Weldon Railroad yesterday was due to the burning of the track in three places about twelve milos from the city. From three to five hundred cords of wood, belonging, to the company, piled along side the road, were ignited during tho night, and the ?rc com m Uti! catt d to the track. It is feared that thc work waa not the result of accident, but we have not heard of suspicion pointing to any particu? lar individuals. The same night th? out? ward bound train escaped total destruction by one of those remarkable 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 the wheels of any of the cars. ?pon examination the rail was found thrown to one side and all the spikes removed. These occurrences indicate that there are evil disposed persons along the road who will not stop at anythiog in venting their spite. It is said the inability of the com? pany to settle claims for wood, &c, prompt? ly has caused considerable ill-feeling, and a desire for revenge. The villains who would thus murder a train full of irre? sponsible parties to gratify their evil pas? sions against individuals, should remember that such 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 have no doubt every effort will be made to discover the perpetrators of these deeds, and bring them to justice. [ Wilmington Dispatch. FIRE PARADE.-The four fire compa? nies of this city were out with their engines yesterday afternoon, on Market street, for their usual monthly practice. Several trials of skill were had between the differ? ent companies, and the 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 thc general efficiency of that branch of the Fire De? partment. These four engines are all un? der the charge of colored companies, yet their efficiency is truly commendable. Thc different organizations seem aa thorough and complete as we have ever known them to be in the palmiest of the days of yore and, iu case of a visitation from fire, oui citizens need be under no apprehension oi the want of exertion in that quarter. We regret very much that a shower bath gratis, from a bursted hose, compelled ui to beat a hasty retreat before the final tria of skill between the different companies. [ Wilmington Journal. FIRE AT TIMONSVILLE, S. C.-W< learn from the Mail Agent on thc Wi i laington and Manchester railroad, that ! fire occurred at Timonsville, on last Sunday night, which destroyed three storehouse" and contents, the property of Messrs. Mc Kethan, Bristow and Coney. The partie had just received into their stores thei Spring stocks of goods, all of which wer consumed. The loss is quite heavy.

PIBE.-Tho alarm of fire was sounded at about half-past 3 o'clock thia morning, and upon pro? ceeding to the Ward designated by the alarm bell, it was found to be at HOFFMAN'S dry and fancy goods store, in Victoria Bange, King street, near Market. Owing to th a lateness of the hour we were unable to obtain any particulars, but suppose the stock will bo badly damaged by water, if not dastroyed by fire. ?3~ Tho Relatives and Friends of Major MATTHEW VASSAR BANCROFT, of the 23d Regi? ment, s.
