CA., Soptcnibor 2d, I3?7. 7*u HIP J-iittor of Hie Clioiiestoii Hatty Jfeict: Sitting in tho piazza or one of tho fashionable board palaco3 of that charming Bummer apot, i.e garovillti, with thu sun Just painting tho wcatoni sky in thu grand nnd gorgeous stylo HO poculiar to tho Southern coast, ri"(l thc atimnlating air blow? ing fr isli from tho soa, is not an unfit timo for musings of ono sort and another. Tho man vrhoao thoughts could run uncharitable under such be? nignant influences, whose judginoul borah and sentiments unkind, could he hut a hyhocoudriac. And as the thoughtri wandor unbridled thoy na? turally stray iud turn about tho subject, which tit all is io UH, ol thesu rural regions, thu most vital and absorbing. With all duo doforonoe ttl orders li om headquarters, reconstruction ads of Con gross, mid Mjuabblos and akirmishes in thu politi? cal world, thc grand prubi um of labor to bo solvod on this Islauil, and, fm aught wo know to tho con? trary, on nil tho Islands of tho Southon! coast, tho just und cqtiitablo distribution of muscle, mu? lley mid laud, is above all. By tho latter nu ono Hupposos mo to mdulgo in any fouliah vugsriea of freo land speculation or confiscation-a kind of national, mclo-drainatic highwayman's Ramo of demanding, in highly ornato lan? guage, with pistol pointed, your purao lo roliere unmerited distress. Tbs man who thinks that a respectable number can bo found lo advocate confiscation in Congress for anything hut buncombe, d??oives himself. Tnio, yon do moot u mau at odd times who thinks it might ?ino to that. But sift bim and you will find tho idoa ono that is pickad up and preserved-in piekta as it vrero. It did not como by regular d?duction of tho duvolopmcnta of events. Some groat man (?) whoso poaalblo confidant bc thinks himaolf, but whoso shadow ho roany ia, might hare regarded it, iu the voering causes and movements of thc times, as poBaiblo. But cvon that possibility m now ro moved beyond human power. Take tho land from whom and for whose benefit? From overy Booth* ern landholder? What an army of desperadoes that would croate. It is well enough to say that tho South waa thoroughly, desperately heaton, but could it, under the assumed condition, ba kept down short of an anny almost as vaBt ns tho ono which swept the country triumphant? In the present and prospectivo at Atc of half anarchy, when overy man ia eagerly watching the next move of thc powerful, contending parties at tho scat of government, the calling into oxistonce of another army would bo aimply furnishing tho' means to one sot of partisans to strike dead thc other. If Radical leaders ask for universal confiscation, they aim beyond and through that to a consolidation and centralization of government. If von wish to create satrapies, do it by gradually pushing one-man-power al mg, independent of Ww, right or rule ; it wants but little more. But do not attempt it through that fearful other way. Tho former we aro prepared for, and could get used to ; the latter we pray earnestly never again to sec Villi bodilv eyes. Further. ' What of tho lauds themselves thus swepl from thc owners and loll at the discretion of Congress ? Would thoy bo given oway or sold out to pay tho national dobt ? Congress would scarcely bo imprudent enough fi tuaku land? owners of tho negroes without compensation. I'or, naturally highly excitable, give him freedom and franchise, iud land next, and taking Iho latter ns a natural consequence nf his citizenship, ho will, before he can be brought to a thorough political education, soon demand that which mn thor North nor South can furnish. In ease of a sale, whoro aie tho buyers of tho land ? hon* much of tho money would go to the treasury? and who m ubi check the promiscuous army of speculators in a field so viictand various ? And a limitod con? fiscation would bring nothing, absolutely nothing, to thc treasury in compuiioon to tho troubles raised, injustice done and costs incurre J. This visionary bugbear, confiscation, stands at tho gato of all trouble and doapondonco. It keeps out cap? ital. Monoy will not go into a Bta'.o iu so unset? tled a condition as this. Why unsottlo'd? Wo be? lieve, down here, that tho present boiling and hissing state of afl'airs is ' kopt up by Congress, tho Freedmen's Bureau, and those interested in thc confusion in a thousand ways. Even JOHNSON has injured tho South much. Wore it not for Ute utter and hopeless apathy of the Northern peoplo, things could not be carried on without some inter? ference from them. The press tullis of it as tho only avaikhlo article in trade. Nowa from the South ia shunned, unloas it coicos in tho shape ol riots and bloodshod. Who cared out pf Virginia what judge lum been doposcd, criminal proceed? ing suspended, finding of Jury overruled,-murderer pardoned, or adventurer rn ado governor for au hour? For sovon yearn past (ho moat oxciting news, th? piont frequent topic of conversation, ; ho most profound ?jud loarnod sermon, tho most flerco ujid fiery harapgue-all havo treated of tho South, ur topics rout ing to ll. Wh? should tho Northern mind, elastic aa it is, not bo worn down with the subject ? #?.???*?? Finally in oloae connection tyitb and inseparable from capital comes tho theory of labor. Binns the resumption of planting on this island, tho owners and lessoos havo allowed frecdmou to remain on thc plantations and occupy their houses on vorbal conditions or writ tn? contracta. Boioo planters al? lotted them certain quantities of land and tdrniabec seeds and provisions on the promise of two oi three days' labor par week. Others, and a majority perhaps, allowed them all the land they wlshe.i U cultivate, binding thom by contract to plant tw< and a half to three acres of cotton tc tho f nil hand one-half of tho proceeds of which to go to thi planter. The latter was in most Instances to fur nish o limited Bopply of food to be paid for in extri labor, cotton or cash. Whatever oise a freedraai oin MU to plant, corn, potatoes, peas, noe, ground nuts or melons, was his own, and his own solely 1 These contracta ara sanctioned by tho Bureau. \ Here, then, was the finest possible opportunity ? offered to a man in his condition. He had ni 1 monoy to buy provisions or pay house rent. "Han are both," says the planter; "use them; tho on free, for the other pay mo when your provision aro gathered and your cotton ginned-" Again, hi . knew nothing of mechanical at ta; the handling o X tho hoo was caiier to him than anything ohio. H 1 could not emigrate, ''for," as Senator TROMBDL 'j pathetically remarked on tb* floor of tho Ronato ?J "ho could not read tho finger-post by tho w?ys,dp, And under the disinterested and bonovolon (Judge BBELLABABOKB'S ?yecch; protection of th Iinroau, nobody asked him lo emigrate. Hero h f had all that he conld reasonably ask for or nt e.dei. .\ Congress thought ho needed the franchise, anc ir rather than have him diaaatiafied, they thrust tba !. upon bira without being asked for it. p_ ?'??a????? 4- Tho openly expressed opinion of ovory man o th?6 island is that going into partnership with ni . groes will not pay.

It is tho natural result i j? labor for pay. Tho reverend ? gentleman who 10. said to bo ono of tho maia springs of its runnin ur gear our way, and whose inflnonco at the nation capital in shaping Ulinga to snit the times, ia oui 1Lt equalled by tho force of tho poworful trip-bam m ^ on iron at white beat; will probably boar toatlmot that no impediment has been thrown in tho way es; I the entire and unrestrained freedom of-, action in I people bore.

UurPALO OouutM says: "Tobacco seems to be of great uso in prisons, not only as a substi? tuto, but also as a mont useful aid to dlsoipliuo. With roference to thiB a very curious development han como out during a recent debato iu tho Aus? trian Cliauibcus. Complains, woro made, as they arc tnadu about our own prisons, that lifo in them was getting Homewliat too comfortable' for the purpose. Tho Minister of Justice, howevor, de? fended tho measures introduced for tho alleviation of tho bard lot cf thc condemned criminals. Not only tho reading of nowspapors, ho said, bsd prov? ed boncllciaJ, but, and in a much higher degree, Ibo introduction of tobacco smoking." Ho said: '.I avow thu truth of the fact that the convicts aro now allowed snuff and pipes. Nay, I am proud of having myself introduced it in several places; for tho pormissiou to uso snuff aud smoko tobacco isa magic aid of disciplino. It simply acts like a mira? do. Tbo mero threat of forbidding tobacco ada iuatantancouely upon tbo most hardened culprit. No amount of solitary conflnomoiit or dogging comes in ibo remotest degree near it." For tho past yoar or no tobacco bas noun issued to tbs soldiers in our army, tboy drawing thoir rations of plug aa regularly as rations of bread, moat or codee. Wu should think it might also be used aa a disciplinarian -in this caso. There ia probably no habit that gives such control over a mau as tho ?be of tobacco, particularly when chewed. We re? member Bovoral roora ago soeiug un acconnl of a train of cars mowed in for several diys on a WoBtoru prairie, thu passengers hoing a groat portion of thom without food. Yet when suppltes were reached, the first loud cry was not for food or drink, but for chewing tobacco. It is a novol idea to make Ibis passionately loved article . disciplinarian, but it asnina stn eminently aensiblo oue. _ As Ai.

Thc cause of tho rencounter was very alight and entire? ly ot a personal cbaracUir, no blows having been exchanged. For ?i o mo reason, however, it was found impracticable to conciliate mattera, and as tbo sun rosu, Sunday morning, the two antagonista, with tboir respectivo seconds and Burgeons, met at Ino aboye mentioned plhce lo settle tbs difficulty willi duelling pistole. Tho position in which tbe principals were placed waa unnaual; two Unas wera staked out parallel with each other and dre paces apart. There wore three stakes in each line, one at eacb end and one in the middle.. The two end stakes at each line were twonty paces apart. One principal was at tho south end of this line, the other pl the north of his. When thns in position they were diagonally opp.into, and tho conditions wore that at the word ihoy wero to fire aa they stood, or in marching up to the middle stoke. The object of this arrange? ment was a humano one, reflecting great credit upon tho ueconds, and m ado in order to prevent a shot being fired breast to breast. Ae tho words "Firel-one, two three." were given, a thrill ol anguish went through too apectators, whoso nor Tousnose was equalled only by the cool placidity ol thc combatants. First one step forward was made bv. ono party, with fore-arm raised and aiming ni his antagonist, who stepped forward alac ono step. A second and a third stop were made bv the first party, quickly followed by tho other. A pistol shut naB hoard, and ascertains J to bo from the first party si bu, believing that tbe second part] had fired also, retired one step after offering hil weapon to bis second; hut a caf; from the opposite seconds to "stand your ground," WAS answered bj a step forward lo rosiuno thu original position b.v tbo first party. Here, for a few seconds, the anx iety was intense, and every heart beat at a foarfu speed, au the second party advanced to the middli stake, whore, with a commendable courago aud I n?lile impulsa, raising bin pistol overhead, ho fi rei I in ?pane; then crossing over tho line he extender bis baud to his whilom enemy, who grasped it and acknowledged lu fooling terme tba generosity of bis adversary, in whoso hands his life bad rest od.
