At tho first gamd of thc serios of tbrco played between these Clubs, in July, it will be recollected that the Palmettos were declared the winners by two runs, and it was their good fortune to bo the victors on this occa? sion also ; although playing with the disadvantage of putting in tho field but eight men against the full first nino of the Alorts, and having to substi? tuto tlrroo men from their second and third nines to lill the places of absontees. The game was tlu-oughout the most exciting which hos evor been played in this city, and was witnessed by about fifteen hundrod people, among whom were some of our most prominent citizens. The game was called at 3.15 P. M., the Palmettos going first to the bat. Whero all played well lt will not be taken amiss to notice the excellent play of DAVIS and TUOHEY, of the Alorts, and JONES and BELDEN, of j thc Palmettos, the latter dosing and winning the game by a splendid fly-catch at right field.

[From the Darlington Southerner.] It will be held, not wit hs Undine the clamor that ls raised against it. If the whites should de? termine to renounce all participation in recon? struction upon tho basts of the congressional plat? form, tho consequence will be that tho froedmen Till take up the power that has been BO unwisely mrrendcred to them. Many of the white people ntend to vote "no Convention,", in order to block ip tho only aperture through which the South can ?cape from present and future calamities. Be it so, it' nothing else will suffice-if madness must .ule tho hour, let all prepare for the Btorm in the lest way they can. For confiscation, if it comos lt all, will not como alone All the dogs of war viii bo turned looso, and not an eye w?rbe found a pity thoso who will not pity themselves. This s absolutory inviting confiscation. Yet these very writers object to the Convention, br fear of confiscation 1 They charge upon tho perjured Southerners " and negroes, that will :ompose it, an utter recklessness of all that is just ind honorable, and assume that they will luxuriate n every wrong, that wicked men flushed with pow ;r could perpetrate. Would it bo possible that it :ould perpetrate a more egregious and bloody oil v than secession has proven itself to be ? But, examine tho matter, and eeo if there is ?ally any danger, after all. As to mere power, be freedmen und perjured Southerner," have had t tor two years-has anything occurred, that could justify tho uncharitable suspicions as to rhat they will do hereafter? Let it bo remembered that this Convention will neet to provide for the distant future-not to match a present advantage, to be held by tho enure of power, without principle. That would ie the title of the robber. Something far moro lubstantial will bo aimed at that will be in bar? oon v with just principles, recognized and respect id by tho civilized world. Right and wrong will >e the great landmarks by which they will steer, or there are no others that can long sustiin the iuperstructure of any government. Tho froedmen ?cry well know that what they might gain by in qui ty could be taken away in the same manner, x ia a well established fact that thieves never get ich, and that the surest and shortest way is to be tonest. The experience of all past time has dc uoii8trated this fact, and it has not to be learned ,t the present day. Let it bo remembered, that this Convention is o t o heidi as a part of the Congressional plan of oconstruction. It will act under tho supervision f Congress, which bas assigned to it certain dn ies, which on the one hand are not to be omitted, r on tho other, exceeded. Any action beyond the mit? assigned to it by Congress, will be consid red as objectionable, as the omission of, a duty pecially assigned. The great purpose of the Convention will be to secure tho political equality f tho citizen, without distinction of race or color. .lie freedman, who has just been introduced into he ranks of freemon, requires some guaranty as 0 bis future condition. This, and this only, is he legitimate object to be effected-and to be ure that this limit is reached, and not surpassed, Congress has reserved to itself the right to ex mine tho Constitution whioh shall ho adopted, nd accept or reject it, according as it may or nay not conform to the plan of reconstruction riiich has been prescribed. The Convention 3 not to fly off into every field of wild, political xperiment, wbicb the young advocates of untried beor?es may suggest, but they are to be con Unod n tho specific object above stated-and any con tituHcn departing therefrom will be rejected, "bereis too much profound statesmanship in the Congress of the United States, to commit the ature government of ten States of the Union en? tirely to the deliberation of inexperienced linds. The result might be, that the work of uch bodies would be disastrous to the whole oun+xy, and effectually destroy all hope of its iture prosperity. Constitution-making is a dan crous privilege, and is to be used with tho utmost tuition-hence, a check has been wisely placed pon tho powers of the members, so that no tam? iko shall bo commiti od that can be irreparable, 'he work is to be examined by Congress-and if ; come up to tbs requirements set forth in tho re onstruction measures, it will ne accepted-and if ot, it will bc returned for amendment, It is plain that "confiscation" is not ono of the uties that has been assigned-for if it had been ?ought to be expedient, Congress would have pro? dded for it long since. If confiscation, in plain irma, bas not been enjoined, neither will it be smutted, in disguise-and intolerable taxation is iat di.- guise. Carno, that does not dare to walk ?eel, will not be permitted to crawl in insidiously, very thing must bo called by its right name, and is idle to supposo that mero astuteness will ox ect to carry out improper ends by tricks of leger emain. That will scarcely be tolerated in a court ouse-never will be in a grave deliberativo as .mbl v, mot together to consult the interests of a reat nation. If confiscation cannot be perpetrat 1 under its own name, neither can it under any Lher-for it is the substance, and not tho form, iat will be considered. First, as to the policy of such a measure. It ould be the triumph of power over weakness in any justly balanced mind consent to tho ea iblisbment of such a principle, a principle that re ards what another has gamed by his own indus ry but as tho lawful spoils of the stronger man 1 ince admit this as a principle, and the ouly socu ity for title would bo th? strength of a partv, and :s continuance in power. Look at the Democratic arty, whero is n, now? where was it in I860? It ,as lived, and it his died, ro neat in g the history of ll parties in all past time. The same epitaph re? nault; to be written also over tho tomb ot the Hc lublican party, which, at some uncertain time in ho fnturo, must yield to tho same law of decay, vhich enters into tho constitution of all earthly iombinations for political or other purposes. iVhen thia may bo no ono can tell, but it is ncvitable, and such is tho genoral apprecia? tion of its durability, by all right thinking nen. Would any ono pay for a little laud that vas to exist no longer than tito Republican party, >r any other party did ? Yet such would bo tho itle by confiscation. What bas become ol tho :onfiscatcd property taken away from tho rightful )wncrs during tho late war?" All gono back to where the great principles of right and wrong do ;lared it should over remain. Tho morality of the Uible is the only foundation upon which any title ;an rest securely, either in publio or private ifiairs-tho eternal obligation of truth and even land justice. When these form tho comor-stono, the building may defy tho washing influences of ?imo or the rudo shocks of outward violence; and ivithout these, all ill-gained prospority will perish n tho grasp. if tho landowner h is more than ho can oultivato, vhatolse has he? Hos ho uot lost overvthing, ind, have not tho freedmen gained everything? Tho great boon they asked from Heavon was their iberty- they have acquired it, and now bavo with n their reach every temporal advantage they can losire. They have the right to bold property-to jara wages for their labor-to vote, to sit on ju? les, to testify, to sue, to huid office, and, in every ^articular, occupy ptocisely tho samo situation Thioh tho unfortunate whites now occupy, with his important advantage, that poverty is no ivretch^dness to them-they can holp themselves, hoy know how to labor, their eyes can see bright jictures in the future, tho world is for them, hope s bright and cheering; while on tho othor band he unfortunate white mau has no where to sit ex :ept upon his land, and while ho looks, all these n-tght pictures aro fast receding from him, a..d :he light of hope is dying away, seemingly for? ever. Ono has a futuro and tho othor has not-? ino is able to contend with adversity, whilo thc* at her ta too much enfeebled to do more than barely ^ ? exist. The freedman's liberty has been purchased by the whito man's ruin, and to all this ho has con? sented, as tho punishment of his folly, in the vain attempt to destroy the best of governments, with? out a sufficient causo. Ho has subscribed the in? strument, which binds him forever to acknowledge thc privileges of the freedman, and in doing so, surrendered $4.000,000,000, tho hard earnings of his past life. Ho looks around, and sees nothing left but his land, whilo he feels, that even with this, that all is gono, and that he is little better than a beggar at last. Now, to mako a raid upon this remnant, is what confiscation proposes, an 1 this too, whilo the freedman is cultivating this very land, on equal terms with the owner-he lives on it and enjoys the fruits of his labor, protected by equal laws, with nono to mako him afraid. In many instances, they rent what they cultivate, and the crop is all their ?wn. A bright futuro is before them, wherein they can seo that their gradual earning, will soon enable them to buy land, so lc that they can own it, fairly and hone&tly. V moro is uoco8sary ? I The present condition of things as to Vhe li is what reuders tolerable the other great steril that have boen consented to. There was at arrangement-so felt and understood, thu farther ?sacrifices would be required, and h the ownor of the lands and the freedmen I been quietly working together, each struc p along to make tho best ont of their new relati Confiscation, directly or indirectly, would be as a violent outrage," and would drivo to desi tion those who had but their lands left to tt Ihese aro extremities in which life loses its vj and death would bo accepted the moBt fortu condition of the two. Is it good pc to drivo on in that diroctiou, simply cause we may have the power ? Surely no a time when a general effort is making; every direotion, to place comfortable ho within eaBy reach, of every freedman who work for one. Just here, around us tho plan are renting out their lands, more and more, as truth gradually dawns upon their minds, that freedman can make more for himself and th by renting, than in any other way. The com yoar will show tho progress of this idea still thor-and the time will come, when the plat will be glad to surrender all his broad acres to sinewy arms of his tenants, reserving to hims only such portion as may be within reach of own personal attention. That is the terminai which all things are now tending; and it will t happy time for all, when the planter and tho fre man who onco lived with him upon other ten can again cultivate the same soil, under nev. lationB, which are entirely acceptable to both. In addition to this, Congress is making effort to open all the public lands in the South, the occupation of the freedmen, upon free a easy terms, so that no one can want a home of cwn who is ambitious enough to desire one. Tb are millions of acres that can be brought uni the control of Congress, which an effort is n making to dedicate to the purpose of pro vidi homes for the homeless; and m this sentime every one, probably both in the North and in t South concur. The desire is, that the freedm should be aided, in this praiseworthy obie and tho public mind is now earnestly bc in that direction. Should they refuse to w, the development of these plans now in opel tion tor their good, and snatch at lands 1 longing to others, oecauso they may suppose th have the power, tho general sentiment now in tin favor would be chilled, if not destroyed, and pow would be met by power as secession was. 80 mm as to tho impolicy of attempting anything in tl nature of confiscation by the convention about bo called. All these considerations will recei their due woight, and delegates assembled thei if their heads should not come up to tho standa ?zo laid down by Professor Agassiz, and grave commented upon by others, wilt at least be able :omprehond these great principles of Bight at Wrong, which will prompt them to reject fro their Constitution any thing which seizes a pre int advantage, at the sacrifice of everlasting trnl ind justice. In the second place, it is now well settled by tl great Republican party, that such a policy will m io permitted. Congress bas not adopted it, ni ?rill it do so, at Mr. Stevens' bidding. The secei lionista did very wrong to burn op ins iron work or they have now made it necessary for him i ret paid lor them, in somo way or other, an vhilbt he pleads for confiscation of Souther andst ho does not forget to say that one of th lest uses to be made of them would be to rein ni rae what he had lost. His philanthropy, then 'ore, is just equally divided between the nome fe be freedman, and compensation for hie iro vorks. In this enterprise, he stands solitary an Jone, whilst tho public mind everywhere is, tba ionfiscation is but the dream of the visionary, 0 he out-croppings of a malignity which is pecuiia o a solitary statesman. On this point, is an ex ract from a paper published at Washington, on? apparently with the authority of an exponent of th tepublican party. It is called the Great Republic "These several sections would give the landlea aillions of the South an aggregate area of ova wo hundred millions of acres. The half of it, i xable, would give a b om es top d of eighty aorei ooh to 1,250,000 heads of families, and homes ant helter to b',250,000 persons, computing the tami ?CK at an average of five persons. It would bi lifficultto frame a legislative proposition mon ?enclicent and far reaching, or more worthy of th< arneat and early action of Congress. The condi ion of tho South to-day pleads for it os a presen nd pressing necessity. Popular fooling in thal ection has become excited, if not inflamed, bj he hope of confiscation. In some way ii mst oe quieted. The colorod people ol bo South, especially, are absolutely hun ry for land, and this feeling is creditable to theil ?\gac i ty. Confiscation of tho iee of rebel lands ac war measure in 1862 would have been pract?ca? le and most advantageous; but the time for ii as gono by. All intol'igent men now agree to bis. But tho bill qf Mr. Julian, without inter aring with private vested rights, would supply omes to all, black and whito, who are struggling ir thom; would promote the most rapid develop-, lent of tho great agricultural resources of the outh, and go far to restore permanent peace to hat section and to the whole country. We aro orry, therefore, that the Congress, at its July BSsion, was not ready to enact this or some kin red measure, in addition to the Act amendatory f the Reconstruction Bill." Besides this, Congress has not yet voted to the nmeii8e annies it had in the field, any of the uhlic lands as a gift-and the duty to do so, was srtainly as strong aa to provide the samo bless ?g for others, who bad done much less for the ou .try. But it has dono something better-it as given the Hcavon born privilege of freedom to ll, and baa secured them the protection of the twa for their industry, and has placed all the ad tntnges of fortuno within their reach, to be ac uired in tho old fashioned, honest way of indus .y and perseverance. This is what it has given, nd is all that will be asked hy the Convention. Tho freedmen and the whi toa are not ?trangers > each other; they desire to livo together, in iendship and peace. Their faces are familiar, ud they know how to moko some allowances for ich other's deficiencies. They are prepared, by ld acquaintance, to jog along the road of life leasantiy together, if foreign lnfluepces. do not iii a me desires that Conflict with their new rela ons. We intend to accept the aid of the Republi in party \u rebuilding the Union upon the Con ressional programme, and we intend to work ith them earnestly and hopefully. The Conven on about to bo called baa that single purpose, nd it ought to bo called, for it ia the only portal lat stands open for our admission into the Union, et it meet, and let its delegates proudly vindi? cte themselves from tho slanderous aspersions lat they meet to rob the planton, instead of be? lg co-workers in that beautiful programme, hich, whilst it restores the integrity of the Gov .nment, secures to every citizen, without distinc on of race or color, equal privileges before the ,w. Very respectfully, CL W. DUDLEY. '.Extraordinary Surgical Operation." Under this head we find in the Anderson (S. C.) nlelliqencer, of Wednesday, an account of an in? festing caso operated upon by Dr. THOMAS A. VHS, of Anderson, assisted by Prof. F. T. MILES, f this city, and four othor physicians. The fol ?wing aro tho notes we find in the Intelligencer: Private Goorge L. Schritnp, Co. C, Palmetto harp Shooters, S. C.

On tho 3d of August, performed the lattoral operation, (usual opera ion or Lithotomv), and extracted an ounce ball, lightly flattened" on one side, and covered with uinuto shining crystals of phosphate of linie : ibout ono-sixtli ol tho circumferenco of the ball vas covered with a thick deposit of the same salt, low did tho ball cot into tho bladder? It cor ainly was not in tho bladder, that is, free in tho tavitv of that viscus previous to tho 28th of May, rhea ho felt it distinctly drop, and up to which imo its presence in that organ was not manifested ry a single one of thc usual symptoms. It could 10t have penetrated at tho timo of receiving jtlio vound, or thoro would havo been extravesation of irrae into the cavity of tho abdomen, which would lave been necessarily mortal. The only rational .xplanation is, that the ball perforated the extor ml coats, pushing tho internal before, without iroducing any aolution of continuity in that coat, ;liua preventing any escape of urine until the lutor coats uni-.ed aiid closed tho opening. Tho ball was suspended in tho interior of tho bladdor JV thc invuginated mucus niernbrano for nearly live years, until by ?ts weight it probably pioduced ibsorbtion ot tho thin and delicate mombrane, and ivcaiing its way gradually through by attrition un? til it dropped into tho bladder. Tho deposit on the ball ahows that a portion of tho ball v aa exposed to tho mino long before it lropped into tho bladdor.

Of those Hil rere black and 64 whites, iinetv-flve blacks wore egistered on tho lirst day, .nd 32 whites; 66 blac.8 and 32 whites on tho econd.

There was ample provision made of good cheer for thc enter? tainment of the guests, aid to this end tho whites ind blacks all freely ccutributed. Tho meeting was under tho special direction of tho fro^d nen, but tho whites lal been very generally invited to participate and furnished from prominent citizens of the vicinity tho chief speakers on the occasion. The assembly was successively addressed by S. P. Boozer, Esq., 3apt. J. R. Tarrant, Maj "J. A. Leland, and Dr. E R. Calhoun.

They wero idvised to eschew party politics, secret political eaguea and all afiiliaticn with unknown adven I turers. They wero urged to impyove their con? dition by acquiring an education, and exercising habits of industry and economy, and above all to cultivate harmonious relations with the white raco as the necessary conditions of this progress. Those sentiments were well received by the freed? men, a nd were reiterated and enforced by several colored speakers, among whom tho most promi? nent was Paul Jefferson, the teacher of a colored school at Greenwood. The meeting was of the most harmonious character, and afforded the best evidence of the friendly rolations which exist be? tween thc two races in this vicinity, and would ex? ist everywhere but for the efforts of noedy ad? venturers and selfish agitators.-Abbeville Press. THE SOUTH CAROLINA PENITENTIARY. - The Board of Commissioners of tho Penitentiary consisting of Messrs. Gregg, Robertson and Came? ron-met in this city, recently, and proceeded to inspect that institution. The following is a sum? mary of their roport : There aro now completed fifty cells, and thc stone cut for twenty more. The first connels were received on tho 18th April. At present, there are upwards of 100. There has beon one death ; one escape ; one pardoned by the Governor, and one discharged. Tho cost of sub? sisting convicts is about twonty cents a day ; but the entire cost of keeping a convict cannot yet be ascertained. No convict who is now working ia worth less than sixty cents uer day and his board, if he was a hired laborer ; thirty are worth eighty conts per day and their board. All are kept at work, oxcopt when excused by the surgeon. Stone-cutting and masonry is the chief j employment. Sevontcon aro daily sent to the quarry-about ono and a half milos distant. An amount of clothing is on hand, sufficient to last until tho lst;January. Each prisoner, on enter? ing, is invested with the convict costume, after being thorouglycleansed and purified, and the Commissioners heard no complaint made, during their conversations with the prisoners, concerning either their treatment or their food ; and it was found that nearly all of them wero in a fan: way to learn a remunerative trade. With few exceptions, punishment bas been found unnecessary. Since the month of April, the convicts have performed 2570 days of labor, which, at sixty cents per day, .s equal to $1542.-Phonix. SINO DL AR.-For two months or moro, os we learn, a draft lor $1000 in gold, contiibuted to the poor of his District by Dr. J.

This would seem to be a verification )f th3 old adage, that ''what is every ono's business a no ono's business." We learn that thoro will bc a largo mass meet ng at Belton, Anderson District, on the 30th inst., it which Governor Orr (if not prevented by official lillies^ is likely to be present.
