Wo saw a remarkable in? stance during the afternoon ot the for?:e of a body of water whon driven on to seek an ouilet when meeting with an obstacle which tor a time stays its progress. In the vacant lot just case ol and adjoining the County Jail, a bodv ol water had collected, and which met with an obstacle in if s passage to the river, iu tho shape of a large brick wall which enclosed the jail yaid. For a time thia stayed its progress, but, continually collecting force, it at last broke tho barrier, and, rushing on, threw down from sixty to seventy feet of this solid walk In the mad rush of thc water in es? caping from its imprisonment iu the vacant lot, large masses of brick and mortar wore carried on? ward across the entiro jail lot, a distance ol seventy-five or eighty feet That portion o? thc walk solid as it was. exposed to the force of thc water, is in ruins.- Wilmington Journal. THE RIVER.-The freshet has at last swept itscl out of the Cape Fear, and the waters aro agaii resuming the "even current ot their flow." Ad vices from Fayetteville report tho river ut tba point at its usual low stand of live feet. Aloin the river the crops of the low lands have all beei ruined, and the distress among tho farmers then will, we fear, be great this fall. The thirl plant ing has been swept away, aud many will be almos completely ruined by the result. [ Wilmington Post. The Metlwdist says : "Supposing all the trail worn this summer at the fashionable waterin? places cut off even with the ankles, how man poor children would they clothe? How niue! would women rise in the estimation of men ?" A innocent exchange remarks, "Suppose your ann was your uncle, what then ?" (2ENERAL WADE HAMPTON On the Situation. LETTER FROM HIM TO A COMMITTEE ASKING HIS VIEWS. [From thr Columbia Phanix.) COLUMBIA, July 81, 1867.-General:-Thc under? sized, in behalf of many others of your friends, as well as of thomselvcs, very respectfully crave your advice with regard to their action in tho vory important matters soon to be submitted to tho people of this State. We have no intention to op poso the execution of any law, qven were it in our Kwor; bat under the Reconstruction Aft, certain itude of action is left us, which entails upon us entire responsibility for all consequences which may How therefrom. We believe this responsi? bility to be ver)' grave, and these consequences' vital to every class of our community, inseparably connected os Are the interests of all. Recent events show that there is no longer a possibility of that entire harmony of action among our peo? ple, for which yon and we havo heretofore hoped aud striven. Tho views of the whole community are unsotthd by the new aspect of affairs, and tho people look to those who command their confi? dence lor a course of action upon which all may agree who truly desire the prosperity of the State. Hesitating to intrude upon you in your with? drawal from public affairs, but behoving that your own appreciation of the emergency will txcuao" our request ; that vour well proven patriotism will ir? resistibly plead it ; and that your calm and experi. enced judgment will weigh Bnpromely with your friends, and command the deep consideration of all honest men, we subscribe ourselves, very re? spectfully, yours, D. W. BAY. WM. H. TALLEY. J. P. THOMAS. E. M. LAW. And about sixty others. To Gen. WADE HAMPTON, Columbi?.. GENTLEMEN : I beg to acknowledge the receipt of the letter, in which you do me the honor to ask my "advice with regard to your action in the very important matters soon to be submitted to the peuple ot the State." Though I cannot bat feel that many of those whose names are signed to this communication are far more competent to offor ccunsel on the grave topics now agitating the pub? lic mind than myself, as I deem it to be tho duty of every man, when called on by his fellow-citizens, in times of peril, to contribute all in bis power to promoto the general welfare, or to ward off the common danger, I willingly comply with your flat? tering request. Beoogniziag, then, the duty imposed on me by your call, and impelled, also, by the great respect I feel for those who have thus honored me, I shall state with perfect candor the imminent dangers surrounding us, and point oat with equal frank? ness the only course which, m my judgment, we can pursue with honor, or with any hope of ulti? mate safety. Before proceeding to the discussion of th? present condition of affairs, it is proper to let yon know what were the views entertained by myself immediately after the cessation of active hoe tili tien, and what was the coarse I thougbt our people should then follow. This cannot bo done more concisely than by giving tb you a copy of a letter addressed to James G. Gibbes, Esq., Chair? man of a public meeting, which was held here in August, lbw. Not being in tho city at that time, I wrote the following letter, whioh, yielding to the views of others, I afterwards determined not to publish : AUGUST 20,1865. To his Honor James G. Gibbts, Mayor of Co? lumbia: 3 Sra :-Having been absent when thc late public meeting was held in the city, I tokeMhis method of expressing my views on the subjects discussed on that occasion. It is with some reluctance that I express these views, as I do not concur in the policy advocated by the mooting. Is it desirable that the people of the Stale aboard take any action looking io a restoration of civil government at 1 present ? I think not; and for these leasons : The State is either a member of the Federal Union, or is not. If a member, then not only is it ' a work of supererogation for ber to ask admission to tho Union, but shs is, by the Constitution of tho United States, guaranteed a republican furn: 1 of Government, ona she has?tho right to adminis? ter ber Government under such a constitution and by such Jaws as she chooses. But, if she is, on ' tho contrary, cot a member of the Union, she mast be regarded tither as a Territory, or as a 1 conquered province ' In cather condition, the '. United States authorities are charged with the duty of providing a proper Government roi her, and I : think tho true policy of the State is to remaifj \ poscivo until sac? Government is given to her, or is forced upon her. if ?bc course indicated by tho moetiug here is followed by tfifi State, what will bo the rosall ? Will it lead to the 'roeioration of the Union as it existed, and to the re-es trfbhshmum. of the constitution and laws of this State ? I do not i think that such will be *he case. To restore the ' State to the Union by t^O plfO contemplated in the resolutions adopted by, the meeting here, it 1 will be necessary to calf a convention 'bf the State. That ? convection, chosen as that vii!? be, will represent the wishes of ?bo people of the State, is an impossibility. Bat pas sip g over this grave objection, there remains the still graver one as to tho adopti n of a constitution, ?r? , the Drople of tho State willing, by tbs adoption of a now/ and totally different constitution, toi ?(inoro" oil the teachings of the past, to subvert the wilclo order of society, to change, in a moment, its whole organization, and, .in a word, to commit (if the exprese?'?u way be used) political suicido? Yet this is tho laeVutble , tendency ot the course rec om m ended by the mat? ing. 'No one, fyr a moment,. supposes that the State wiil bo admitted into the Union with its present constitution.' to gain admission tho State must come with a constitution wuresenting, not the rte ws and interests of the people of rtour)/ Carolina, but those- cf Massachusetts. It may bo urged that the State must como with such a constitution, or nott come Rt al). If suoh is tho fact, then let ber not come ai. a]l. The United States Government will hold the country, ss it now j ?does, by military occupation; its troops will L? present to inaugurale and enforce tho new system of labor decreed by tho President of the United States, and the people, though conqu?trc?j, Trill not have the additional humiliation and reproach which they would bring upon themselves if they consent to* destroy their own const i lu ti JU, which was bequealbod to them by thoir fathers. > Besides those various reasons against the policy j advocated oy the meeting, ii appears to mo that it , is premature for tho peoplo ty move al present . The authorities at Washington havo' not indicated the coursa they propose to pursue toward 'lue State, nor havejthey manifested gieat zeal in the restoration of that Union for which they have pro? fessedly been fighting for thc last four yearflWhey have not asked tho ?talo to ' i J tur j; to the Union, nor bav:> they announced tho terms upon which it can do so. Whur? they have don? these things, il will be time enough fof the State to toko counsel how to act. I recommend, thon, with all difference to your? self and the gentlemen over whom voa presided the other day, that the peoplo nhould* remain per-.. feotly quiet, taking no action whatever in' paulie affairs. Leave all these mattera to the United States Government, which will doubtless, in good time, provide a government for yon. Until that m done, the cartridge-box can take the place of the ballot-box, and tm bayonet is a good substituto for the law. It is better to be governed by these than to give to your State a constitution which misrepresents the wishes of the people, humiliates their pride, debauches their a ocio ty, destroys their prosperity and degrades their State. 1 have the honor to le, very respectfully, your friend and fellow-citizen, WADE HAMPTON. It was dear to my mind that thc true policy of tho South was to reaitis passive, obser ving, with the most scrupulous fidelity, i,ho obligations we assumed when we laid down our arms, and mak? ing no concessions beyond those embraced in pbe terms upon which wo surrendered. I held that the United States Government bad not only offer? ed terms to tho South, but that its faith was plcdgod to tho observance of those terms, Every official act ot every department of that Govern? ment, during thc war, declared that the Southern States wero otjjj members of thc Uniou, and Con? gress, by an almost nuauimous vote, in tho mest solemn manner, "Rewived, That this war is not waged on our part in any spirit of oppression, nor for any pur? pose of conquest or subjugation, nor purposo of overthrowing or interfering with the rights or es? tablished institutions of tho States, but to de? fend and maintain tho supremacy of the Constitu? tion, and to preserve the Union with all the digni? ty, equality and rights of the several States uni in? paired; That as soon as these objects are accom? plished, the war ought to cease." The samo body gave the strongest evidence that they regarded the Union unbroken, oven during the war, by their recognition of Mr. Carlisle as Senator from Virginia-I mean the noble "Old Do? minion." and not ber illegitimate and degenerate chila, West Virginia,-and allowing him to retain bis seat until near tho close of thc war. The very paroles given to the Southern soldiers promised tho protection of the United Slates Government to those- holding them, so long as they obeyed the laws of "the States wherein they resifted," thus recognizing not only the Southern States as States, but the laws of th?so States. We bad every rea? son, as far as wa could trust to tho faith of our opponents, to believe that the Southern States would bo received into the Union with all their "dignity, equality and rights unimpaired," as soon as they* renewed thoir allegiance to tho General Governineut and acknowledged its supremacy. It would be foreign to the purpose of this com? munication to discuss what faith has been kept with tho South-mankii.d has already affixed to that sort of faith the name of Punic; I only touch ou t liesa points to show the mistakes committed by the South, when it conformed to those demands of tho North which were interpolated into the con? ditions after our surrender. Our Stato Conven? tions wore mistakes: so were tho changes of our Constitutions; greater than all others was the legislation ratifying tho aniendnjont of tho United States Constitution known as Article 13. I am well aware that the action of thc Southern people, at that time, was dictated by an honest desire to secure the blessuigs of peace", and by a high sense of honor, which prompted them to show that they were sincere in their wish to do everything that would tend to the restoration of the Union on hon? orable terms. I have no hesitation in assserting that tho Southern States would then have been brought back to the Union with more of "loyalty" -to uso a favorite expression of thc North than had existed among them for forty years past, had the North proved itself to be as magnanimous as it had shown itself to* bo powerful. But it was the misfortune, not only of the South, but of tho whole country, that the party which had obtained posscssion'of the gov ernment was more intent on securing its power thau of restoring tho Union to its own ] tine glory. After acquiring power, on the ground of bringing back tbe Southern 8tatt the common fold, with all their "dignity, equi and rights unimpaired," they basely betrayed people of tho North, by subordinating the inter and rights of ton States to the effort to perpoti the power of their party, falsifying, while they so, every pledge which they had made during continuance of the war. Iho war, which was i fessedly waged solely for the restoration of Union, in its progress, degenerated into the o attempt, on tue part of its authors, to consolic and perpetuate Radical rule, and a governmi which was founded on tho noble maxim, i "governments derive their just powers from consent of the governed," has beon perverte< the base ends of subjecting ten millions of its j pie to a military despotism. That I may not be accused of stating this i position in stronger language than ia warran by the facts of tue case, I beg to call your alt tion to the following extract from an article wh emanated from Massachusetts. Bearing tho primatur ot Boston, ita. language, which, hac been uttered here, might have smacked of treas can be regarded only as loyal : " -he principle;" says the writer, "on which : war was waged by the North, was simply th That men may rightfully be compelled to subi to and support a government that they do i want ; and that resistance on their part mal them traitors and criminals. No principle that possible to be named can be moro self-oviden false than this, or more self-evidently fatal to political freedom. Yet it triumphed in the fie and it i s now a s Bum ed to be established. If it really established, Ibo number of slaves, inste of having been diminished by tbe war, has be greatly increased ; for a man thus subjected lc government that he does not want, is a slave ; a there i? no difference in principle, but only in c groe, between political and chattel slavery. T former, no less than the latter, denies a mai ownership of himself and the products of 1 labor, and asserts that other men may own h: and dispose of him and bis property for their ue and at their pleasure. Previous to the war, the were some grounds for Baying, that in theory, least, if not in practice, our government was a fr one-that it rested on consent. Bnt nothing that kind can be said now, if the principle < which tho war was carried on by the North is in vooably established." Here wo are told in emphatic language, by Northern man, whose mina cannot be obscur certainly by the so-called heresies of Southern dc trines, what was the principle on which the w was waged by the North, and we aro warned God grant the warning may not be in vain-wh will be tho result if this principle is irre vocab established. Let it be established, and we mi bid adieu to constitutional liberty-republican i st ; tu tio as will be swept away in the storm that w arise, and wo shall enter on those dark and gluon scenes which always precede a nation's deat The time will then indeed have come for us pray, in the words of a fearless and eloquent sc of Georgia, for the speedy advent of "tbe Amei can Cesar." The whole recent legislation of tl fractional Congress at Washington seems to ha1 only in view to break down all tho barriers of tl Constitution of the United State? ; to ignore tl immortal truths of tbe great rebellion of "G, ar to convert a Government, which had, as its on foundation, " tbe consent of the governed," in) ono sustninoi by force alone, None of the radica pretend that the military bills are oonstitutiona They admit-perhaps I should say, rather, th< trust-that these mea mr cs aro unconstitutiona while they endeavor to make the South ratdj them, by arousing and appealing to the base, passions of human nature, fear and cupidit They threaten us with confiscation, on the oi hand, if we do not accept these measures ; the give them the semblance of law, while on the otb? they attempt to bribe those among us who ai so base and venal as to be willing to pureba* immunity for themselves by selbng the hbertit of their country. Aro these despicable motives strong enough t corruptthe virtue of tho Southern people ? Wi that people, who haye provee} themselves capabl of making any and alf sacrifices for the sakai their principles, sink so low as to buy the mei privilege to bve-even if tbey Uve slaves-by givin up all that they have heretofore held sacred, an ail that makes life itself worth having ? WiU the allow their action to be influenced by threats Threats can never govern brave men. Are the afraid of confiscations by Congress ? lt they ador Lhese reconstruction Acts, they wUl most assured! Buffer confiscation in its worst and most tyran ni cu form, tbrougb the "reconstructed" States. It i for thom to determine these momentous question for themselves. Tbey have already carried con cession to the verge of foUy. Hear what anothe Norf lid r vriiir says on this point: "The programme Qt tbe ruling party cannot bi altered or changed by cohoes.?iona. That has bee: tried in the South. AU the demands ef CongreB have been c inplied with by the States lately ii revolt- They have altered their constitutions adopted tu? amendment abolishing slavery, at tended to the condition of the freedmen, repu d?a tod thu debt contracted by them tor vir pi) T poses, and in this mariner dhowed their anxiety ti resume constitutional relations with the Federa Gdvelrnmeut, But each concession has been me with a fresh demand, ?&ti) fit tbe present time tei States have been ' turned' into military divisions ten Governors, chosen, bv the people, snperaedet by fiye Brigadier-Generals, and 'the will of a mi nority .Cougruss placed over and above the po wa; and authority bf the COnsJitutipn.

Has this policy of concession to unlawful de? mands been so productive of benefit that we std desire to pursue it ? Are we prepared, for the Bake of expediency-tbat fabal fallacy which has lnrec us so far on the road to destruction-that Tro j ar Horse which bas brought; with it an Iliad of woet -to barter away the few rights remaining to us ? Yet tine is the course we must follow, if wb bvueui tarms which we know to be contrary to the c indi, tlous cn which we surrendered, which are inimi? cal to all troy reconciliations, and which are ir open and palpable Violation of th* Constitution ol the United States-of 'that Constitution *?u}h zi sw v4r to support, at the very moment wc aro gross lv ouira^ing da most sacred provisions; Would not those wno vote for these laws, knowing them to be unconstitutional, be guilty of penury i What good can come of laws which begin in' fraud t??d can be carried into effect only by perjury? Let me not be understood as making any reflection on those Southern men who honestly and conscientiously advocate our acce p tan re of these mUitary bills. Any divisions ?rflPhg IIB are to be deprecated, and it is as un wiso as it is unkind tp irhpugh th& wolfes of men who, on many? a ?ekL u avo provea til ir devotion to the South, i specially do I regaaf tuo virulent attacks which have been made on that gallant soldier who BO long and so ably led the Ulus'trioUB'PirBt Corps of tbe Army of Northern Virginia: It'has been bis' bard fate, in peace as in war, to be wounded by his" own people. That charily winch "hopeth ah things," and a natural distrust of oui' own judgment, should make us treat the convictions of euch men with at least kindly and proper consideration'. ' But for {hose ''who cree the right, and yet the wrong pursuo,1' who, wbila tb,ejjr country seems to be struggling in the til roes pf death, consult only their own base fears and low instinct^- who, to eave their vile property or still more vile persons, would de* grade their State-who bid us accept dishonor as tho price of safety-language has no terms strong enough to brand their infamy. They are as far beyond the reach pf adequate punishment in this world as they are beneath the scorn and contempt of aU honorable men. Bnt to return to the consideration of thp Boc?n? Btruction Acta, from which this digression bas led me. What inducements do the advocates of these measures bold out to us to accept them? Can they promise us peace? Look at Tennessee, and learn what kind of peace we aro to havo. Can they promise us an acceptable State Constitution, one that wiU not be interfered with by Congress? Look at Delaware, Maryland and Kentucky-three "loyal" sovereign States-which aro to bo put on trial before a star chamber committee on tho cnargfl pf not having Beoubhcan constitutions. Can they promiso a restoration of lue Union? The Radical rulers expressly declare (bat their mea? sures are not "finaUties." Can they promiso ovon that doubtful good, representation in tho Congress of tho United States? I refer you to Kentucky, whoso representatives are ignominiously rojected because rebels voted for them! But suppose that the Stato accepte tjie terms proposed by the mili? tary bills-that she agrees to tho permanent and total exclusion from hor councils of thc inteUect, the experience, the wisdom, and tho patriotism, which, ip tiroes past, gave her lustre-that instead of those noble quihties aud virtuos, she commits her political dostinies to tho guidance of ignorance, inexperience, lolly and radicalism - that ?ho adopts a constitution disfranchising forever tbe men who, in obeying her command to defend 'her, be beUeved that they wore serving God-that she "Buys-ignominious purchase-short repose, With dying curses ana the groans of those That soryed and loved, and put in her their trust." Supposo she doos all tbesp things, and that the radicals then graciously permit hor to pond her representatives to Washington, from what plass will she soleot the men who aro to fill the places once honored by Lowndes. Calhoun, McDuflio, Preston, Chevcs, Hayno, Huger and their gloril ous compeers ? 'Thc same body whiph bas shown such wisdom nut! magnanimity in flaming these Reconstruction Acts that are'to bring so many blessings in their train, gives you thu answer iii tho following ?Vet of Congress. "L Hereafter any person olocted or appointed to any office of power or profit under the Govern? ment of tho United Statos, either in tho civil, mili? tary or naval departments of tho public service excepting tho President ot' the United Slates' shah, before entering upon tho duties of ??ch office, and before being entitled to anv of the salary or other emoluments thereof, take and ahb scrib'o the following oath : I do solemnly sWoar that I havo never voluntarily homo arms against tho United States since 1 havo been a cluzon thereof; that I havo voluntarily given no, aid, countenance, counsel or encouragement to per sons ongagod in armed hostility thereto; tbat I havo neither sought nor accoptcd, nor attempted to exercise, the functions of any office 'what? ever, under anv authority or protendod authority in hostility to the United States; ?hat J have not yielded a voluntary support to arjy pre? tended government, authority, power or constitu? tion within the United States, hostile or inimical thereto.

Can tho people of the State tr those who could or who would take it ? For honor of our State. I should prefer that eho sho not bo represented in the halls of Congress m her delegates can enter thom as free men. roa senting a sovereign State, with all her "digni equality and rights unimpaired.'' When that c comos, there may a restoration of tho Union fact, as well as in theory ; when North and Sou forgiving tho past, even if they cannot forget may meet as equals on some common groui where the honor, tho rights and tho feelings both can be recognized and respected. But ur that day dooB come, in the words of Patrick Hen "Gentlemen may cry peace I peace I but thore no peace 1" it is scarcely necessary for mo to say that, e tentaining the views I have expressed, I think far preferable the State should remain in its pr< ent condition, under military rule, than that should give its sanction to measures which we I Here to oe illegal, unconstitutional and minot It is my honest and firm belief that the volunta acceptance of these measures by our people won surely bring, not only to tho South, but to tl whole country, evils far greater than any wo ba yet suffered. The North, flushed with succ?s and drunk with power, may not be able to reali this fact ; but as surely as the South falls a vic ti to irresponsible and unlicensed power, so sure will the North lose ita Uberties. Ruin to the Soul will re-act on the North, and if we are crushed the dust, the Northern people will see but tl foreshadowing of their own certain doom. Recoj ni zo, as an established principle, the right of ai political party that may be m the asoendanc to fix upon all who differ with them laws unav thorized by the Constitution of the United Statei and we ahaU begin that downward career whic will lead steadily through confusion, anarchy an blood, to the certain overthrow of republican inst tutions and free government. Believing this, regard it as the duty of every man, in the exercu ot the ri?bt accorded to aU by these miUtary bill: to oppose their adoption by all lawful means. A the people have tho privilege, then, of ez pressing either assent or dissent on this questioi I advise them, earnestly, to record the latter a frilly and solemnly as possible. Let every ma register, and cast bis volo against the convention since the queatio; will be made on that issue. Theso, gentlemen are the conclusions t which I nave been brought by tho mos anxious consideration of those ''importan matters soon to be submitted to the pcopl of tha State." They bave been laid toter you at greater length ?han I intended, but il seemed to me beat to let yon havo my premises as well as my conclusions, in order that you migh judge of the correctness of both. I can only sa; that I have discussed this momentous questioi with the single desire to arrive at the- truth, and nopo that it has at least boen discussed in a tem perato and dispassionate spirit. Let mo brinf one other subject, Bqggosted by your lotter, tt your consideration, and I shall tax your pationa no farther, You say, truly, that I, as well as yourselves "have hoped and striven for entire harmony of action among our people," It has been my moa earnest desire tb secure thia harmony as it has been my oonstant effort tt allay excitement, and to counsol obedience to th( laws. This has been the prevailing sentiment among our people, and if it fails of ils object, i will not be our Unit. As it is of tho last consequence to maintain thc same amicable relations which have heretofore ex isted between tho whites and the blacks, I cannot too strongly reiterate my counsel, that all classes should cultivate harmony and exercise forbear ance. Let OUT people remember that thc nogroes havo, as a general rule, behaved admirably, and that they are in nq m inner responsible for thc present condition of affairs. Should {hoy, in thc future, be misled by wicked or designing men, let us consider how ignorant they necessarily are, anti let us. only the more, try to convince them that wc are their best friends. Deal with them with perfect justios. and thus show that you wish, to promote their advancement and enlfght: enment, Do thus, apd ibu negroes wu! not only leura to trust you, but they will soon appreciate the fact so evident to us, that we can do without them far better than they can do without ns. On a late publ : occasion, where many of you were present, I expressed my perfect willingness to sae impartial suffrage established at the South, and I behove that this opinion ia entertained, not only by a largo majority of tho intelligent and re fleeting v.-hites, bat also of the samo class among the bhtoks. T deprecate univessal suffrage, nut only on general principles, bnt especially in the case before us, 1 because I deny the right of Con? gress to prescribe the rules of citizenship in tho States. Tho Supremo Court has decided that a negro is hot. a citizen of the United States, ' and Congress ' cannot reverse that decision by an Act. The States, however, are competent to confer citizenship on thc nsgro, and I think it is the part of wisdom, that such action should bo Utan ny tho Southern, Stated.' We have recognized tho freedom dil the black?, and have placed this fact beyond all prob? ability of doubt, denial or recall. Let us recog? nize in Uto bame frank manner, and as fully, their political rit?tq also, Ppr myaulf, I confess tht?t i am perf-'otly willing to 860 A o 'institution adopted by our c?tate, conferring the electivo franchis o on the negro, ?rn precisely the same term? as it is to be exercised by tho white man, guarding against the abu ie of thia privilege by establishing a slight e'duoatii.-nni and ^gerty ' qu^flcaUcm Pot all olasses, I have thus, gentlomen, endeavored to comply, as fully as possible, with tho roquest conveyed in your letter. A sense of dnty to the State, and an eminent desire to snow my respect to pry fellow-citizens, from whom I havo re? ceived rfe 'many naifes ui kinejnusH sod corin, dence, are the only motives which could have in? duced me to take any part in public affairs. If thc crude views thrown out for your consideration are instrumental in arousing any one to a sense cf {he dangers surrounding us; or if they'can be of the slightest benefit to those who have called for them, they will have' accomplished their ends. Thanking you again for the honor you have done mc by asking counsel of me, and praying that our offerts to"btivo our buluved State from nun may lie successful, I am, with great respect and oalecm, your friend and fellow-citizen, WADE HAMPTON.

Thomas and Christ Chnrch Parishes, On last Wednesday registration was commenced in St. Thomas Parish, at tho Brick Church, under tho superintendence of Mr. L. P. SIOTH, white, and Jeremiah Yafos and Aaron Logan, colored. Mr. SMITH is a Northerner, who has lately settled in this State. When thc Polls were opened, about 1000 freedmen were present, most of them being armed with guns and muskets. Mr. SMITH, tho Chairman, addressed them on thoir duties as citizens, explaining to them their rights, and urg? ing them to keep the peace. Some of tho fread men requestod to know tho rights of the planters, and if their wages could be deducted while absent from thoir work at tho Polia. Mi. SMITH was about to reply, when interrupted by his colleague, who made a violont harangue, stating that tho planters could not interfere with their movements, md that this was tho timo to assert their rights xvor tho whites, who could not bo trusted. Ho proceeded in this style of language for somo :ime until Mr. S?IITH, scoing that the passions of he crowd were bojominii oxcitod, exercised his luthority and adjourned the Board. Pursuant to the adjournment, the Board met at Mount Pleasant on Monday, .vd when the books vero opened, about three hundred freedmen Tero present, armed with various weapons. Mr. SMITH again addressed the crowd, when he was in erruptcd a second timo by Aaron Logan, who was non.' violent than on the former occasion. On his leclining to dosist, Mr. SMITH closed tho poll, and ?arno to tho city and roportod the facts to General TLTTZ, tho Commandant of tho Post. Logan came o the city on tho same boat to prosont his state nent of tho caso. On hearing tho circumstances leneral CLITZ promptly ordered tho ai rest of Le? ran, who was sen/, to Castle Pinckney, on a bargo of impeding registration. Mr. SMITH returned to Monnt Pleasant yes tor lay, accompanied by Major O'BBTE?J, the Provost Marshal. The poll was reopened and tho freed aen invited to register, but this they decline 1 loing unless Logan waB rclcasod. A number of he negroes were armed, as on the previous occa ions, and Major O'BRIEN commanded thom to de? lver their weapons, and explained to them their iolation of law and order, but to no avail. Not >eing supported by a sufficient forco to insure bedience, and boing unwilling to provoke a dis nrbanco, ho returned to tho city and reported the acts to General CLITZ. The freedmen, finding that; thoy wore not per? mitted to enjoy tho rights that LOGAN had de larcd them entitled to exorcise, slowly dispersed, rith IhioatH to burn tho v?lago if they were not ranted. Wo understand that Gen. CHT* will ia it Mount Pleasant this morning with a sufficient }rcc to prevent any riotous assemblage, and to ompol thc frccdmm to obey tho laws of tho land, "ho entire difficulty was caused by tho action of JOUA:;, and wo trust that when tho freedmen see ho fate of their adviser, they will refrain from ny farther disturbance.
