WASHINGTON, September 18.-The Presidential
party arrived safely at 1 o'clock this morning.
Among the scenes at Antietam, just west of thc
main stand, and within the cemetery enclosure, is
a limestone rock, six feet long by two or three feet
high, known far and wide throughout Washington
county as "Lee Bock." from the fact, it if. said,
that General Lee stood thereon during the fiercest
of the fight at Antietam, directing the operations
of the Confederate army. During the day, parties
of curiosity hunters were busily engaged cupping
away pieces of the rock as relics. McClellan's
position during the fight was pointed out near a
red farm house, in a position as liit'e less com?
manding than that occupied by Lee.
The folmving illustrates the harmony of the
ceremonies. The "loudly called for" Governor
Geary, of Pennsylvania, on the conclusion of the
address of ex-G-overnor Bradford, showed that
many Pennsylvanian* wete present, and that there
was an undercurrent of ill-feeling on account of J
some alight, real or fancied, to their Governor, in
his name not appearing in the programme. The
outcry for Governor Geary for the time being
overpowered the calls for the President, and pre?
vented a word of the reading of the poem from
being heard. The brass band essayed to perform
a piece with as little effect; and 'finally, after a
hurried consultation on the stand, Governor Geary
was induced to present himself, and asked that
the programme should be gone through with
without interruption. When he subsequently
spoke, after the proceedings were ended, he
snowed considerable feeling.
The President and members of the Cabinet
left the stand while Gov. Geary was speaking,
order to proceed to Reedys ville to take the train,
and this proceeding was taken by some of the
friends of the Governor as an intentional alight.
Gov. Geary cpened his speech as follows: "Fel?
low-citizens,' after all you have heard to-day I had
supposed you would* want nothing more. The
programme opened and concluded with prayer.
Those who have waited must come in at the last
hour. But, my friends, I stilt have a place in the
hearts of the people. (Applause.) When you
come to Pennsylvania we'll let every body speak.
We want to hear thanks to Almighty God for his
preservation snd care of the country. We have
no gag. (Applause.) We have no programmes
for this purpose. ( Renewed applause. ) We have
no gag on our programmes."

RICHMOND, September 18.-Gen. Schofield issued
an order, altering the oyster law of the State so aa
to prescribe dry measure for liquid measure, ex?
tending time to ninety days for oysters owned by
non-residents, to bb laid out in Virginia waters,
and ordering that thu tax of three cents per bushel
be paid but once, and then by persons carrying
oysters to market or shipping them from the
SUte.
- The veting ou the railroad subscription closed

Nsw YOKE, September 18 - A party of Southern
gentlemen gave a- dinner to Gen Beauregard, at
. tne New York Hotel. In th? course of bis remarks,
the General stated that he had received tempting
offers from English capitalists to take up his resi?
dence m England, as superintendent of extensive
engineering works in that country, but he bad con?
cluded upon calmly surveying th?different g ^em?
inente of the world, their status and their in?
herent strength; that this country possessed the
most able of any government existing on the face
of tho earth, and that for hie part he was deter?
mined to spend his life under the flag of the gov?
ernment that was the most stable aud least liable
to disorganization. It waa nothing short of sheer
nonsense to think of another rebellion, If they
wanted to raise one they could not. It was utter?
ly impossible, and will ' be impossible for them to
do so for the next generation.

To the Editor of tie Charleston Daily Sews:
The closing remarks of my previous letter, re?
lating- to Branchrille, are perhaps hable to miscon?
struction. When I said that Branchville had not
made such progi ess as we might have reasonably
expected from its favored situation, I did not mean
to derogate from any morit or oredit, which is its
due. Branchville, ns you are doubtless aware, waa
on ono of the extremeties of SHEBMAN'S "6wath,"
and that distinguished general made his mark on
this littie unpretentious railroad village. Tho war
was scarcely over, however, before enterprising
men set to. and rebuilt the town, so that now it
stands before the traveller in more than ita
pristine, antebellum splendor.
One of the improvements near Branchville,
noticed by me for the first time last week, is the
curve, by means of which the trains are "shifted"
from tho Columbia to the Hamburg side of the
road, and vice versa, without turn-table. This
arrangement, I understand, was devised and per?
fected during the war, and i3 of great service and
convenience to the company.
A few miles from Branchville we cross the Edisto
River-very high at present, and the woods and
swamps adjoining ail under water. Midway,
Bamberg, Graham's Turn Ont, all thriving
villages and railroad stations, succeed each other
at intervals of about two miles. About two o'clock
the cars reached Blackville, ninety miles from
Charleston. Here I stopped and looked around mo.
Blackville was "loc?ted" in 1827, and called alter
Major BLACK, an oiigineer connected with the rail?
road then in process of construction. Tho people
of Barnwell C. H., (ten miles from Blackville), it is
said, wore so jealous of the rising fame and pros?
perity of the nascent village, that out of petty
spite they o*dy spoke of its people as tue Black
Yillians. This of course was galling to this good
and honest people, and they cast about for some
adequate means to obviate this reproach. They
concluded to change the name of their town for
the more euphoneous "Clinton." This was in
1849; but tho Postoffice Department was not im?
pressed with the alleged necesasity for a change
of name, and told them they could change the ap?
pellation of the town to Clinton, but the Postoffice
should continue to be called Blackville and nothing
else. So aft? r ailing under a double flag for about
twelve months, the citizensreturned to an undvided
allegiance to Blackville, resigned thenceforth to
bear the odium inseparable from a residence at
thia town. Why did they not consult their school?
master, who would have told them to call it "Me
lainopolis," or "Negropolis ?" However, let that
paBS. The town was incorporated in 1845, and at
present is Mader the executive administration of M.
F. il oi osY, Esq., the Int enden t.
Blackville is the liveliest looking place on the
line of the South Carolina Railroad. Although
"SHERMAN'S Grand Army" burned forty-six build?
ings, the vestiges of this destruction have nearly
all disappeared. New storehouses have been put
up, and yet others are in process of completion.
The following are the chief merchants o? the
place: Messrs. JACOB MEETZE, M. F. MAL?N?. JAS.
KELLY, P. W. FARRELL, STEWART AT NEVELS, S.
BBOWN, H. DODENHOFF, G. P. LABTIOOE (il. D.),
Mrs. A. C. LA.N?E, B. OAKUAN, M. RICH, A. KNOPF
(Postmaster), and H. ASHER. Mr. J. G. STBOBEL
keeps the hotel and if all travellers fare as well
there as did your correspondent they will have
nothing to complain of.
Blackv.lle is well situated as a business centre.
It is the natural outlet of the rich lands along a
great part of the Edisto, Savannah River and Sal
kehatchie. The lower parts of Orangoburg and
Lexington Districts also formerly did a great part
of their trading here. The Columbia and Augus?
ta Railroad, if it is ever built, will probably cut
into the latter, an Oraugeburg C. H. and Bamberg
have already come in as competitors tor the for?
mer. More cotton WAR shipped before the war
from Blackvillo than from any four or five of the
adjoining stations along the South Carolina Kail
road. Kew depots, however, have sprung up since
then, and some of the old ones have increased in
importance, so that it is not probable that Black
Tille will in future be as important an entrepot as
she was in the past.
SHEBMAN'S army remained here six days, and
burned about six hundred bales of cotton stored
here. The radix ad, as is well known, was torn up
for some sixty miles-from Edisto lo Aiken; and
. few who did not see the extent of the devastation
produced by this desolating march, can have any
idea what difficulties the South Carolina Railroad
Company had to cope with in their eflorts to re?
pair their road. Instead of blame for delay, I
think they merit the highest credit for the amount
of work they have succeeded in accomplishing
within a comparatively brief period of time, and
under circumstances very discouraging in every
respect
The merchants and people of Blackville natur?
ally attach great importance to their town, much
greater perhaps than will be readily accorded to it
by others, who are 'either disinterested or whose
interests will give theil- opinions a different bias.
Thus I was told that a railroad from Millen to
Orangebnrg, via Blackville, about eighty miles,
would be just the thing to secure the travel from
the South; the distance between those two points
by the present circuitous route being ono hun?
dred and orty three miles. This road would pass
through Barnwell C. H,. and Blackville; and the
ten miles between these two last named places are
already graded.
Heretofore this District produced more corn,
and often more bacon, also, than it consumed.
Between the war, SHERMAN, and the freedmen,
there has been all but an extermination of the por?
cine race. Pork is a thing of the past. The
planters all unhesitatingly deslare that hogs can?
not be raised here in future, lt is held by the
faedmon, I believe, that hogs are outlaws, and
therefore have no rights a negro is bound to
respect; henoe their rapidly increasing rarity.
Everybody now buys bacon, and the quantity of
this commodity brought here this year is astound?
ing.
The corn crop here, as everywhere else, was a
failure last year. Many farmer? made nothing at
all; few more than enough to carry them through
the winter, and I believe only one or two, perhaps,
within twenty miles round, who were not com?
pelled to purchase corn during the past summer.
From the middle of March to September the aver?
age amount of corn brought to the depot at Black?
ville, and there distributed to its different con?
signees, was about 4000 bushels a week-from two
to three car loads every day.
The destitute have been relieved both from the
fund appropriated by Congress, and distributed
through the Freedman's Bureau, and also by corn
sent out by the Baltimore and other Northern
Volunteer Relief Associations. From the former
source about 1500 bushels of corn were obtained at
this depot, and from the latter about 1000 bushels.
The corn crop this year is fair, perhaps still a
little below good average. The district, as a whole,
will probably make enough to feed itself; the great?
est drawback has been the continuous wet weath?
er. In this vicinity it is estimated that enough
corn will be made to last until Jul\ ; but in tho
Savannah river country it is thought there will ba
corn to sell.
As regards the cotton crop, the prospect is not
flattering. Tho rain has been deleterious at even
stage of its growth. In June and July it stimu?
lated the grass to the most luxurious develop?
ment, and prevented even the most diligent hus
bandman from keeping pace with it; and during
the past few weeks it has rotted the lower bolls on
the stalk. Most of the planters wiih whom I con?
versed thought the "bad season" would reduce
the yield of the cotton crop in this section of the
country one-third to one-half. The crop of Barn?
well District was about 12,000 bales before the
wai-perhap? even more; i have no reliable data
at command on this head. The crop this year will
probably not exceed five or six thousand bales.
The caterpillar 1 believe, has not been observed
up here, but much damage has been done by rust.
There ia one Baptist and one Methodist Church
in Blackville, Rev. WK. BBOOKEB, the minister of
the former, and Rev. M. L. BANKS, of tho latter.
There ia also au t-icellent school building here,
with a flourishing academy, presided over by W.
G. TYSON, Esq., * gentleman of intelligence, taste
und culture, who, I believe, ie considered a good
teacher, aud gives general satisfaction. A daily
two-horse hack forms the connection between
Blackville and the capital of the district, Barnwell
C. H., and must content the latter, I suppose,
until the locomotive finds its way here from Mil?
len, as hinted above.
About three miles north of Blackville is an ex?
cellent spa-the "Healing Springs"-the water im?
pregnated with iron, sulphur, and other salubri?
ous mineral constituents. The location is very
pleasant; thero ia an embryo village here now,
ami nothing but capital and enterprise nooded to
make it a Vichy. Saratoga. Ems, or Wisbaden.
Who knows?
I was glad to learn that labor has been but little
disturbed in this District-i. e., but little com
pared to other parts of the State. The freedmen
have not beon given to so much roving, nor have
they been troubled with tho laud and emigration
lover to thc same degree as I havo seen it else?
where. There is about the same number of freed?
men in the District now as there were slaves be?
fore and during the war, and, as a general thing,
they have worked well during the present year.
There has been here, as elsewhere, a good deal
of stealing since the war. A recent session of the
Provost Court at Barnwell Courthouse is thought
to have exercised a very salutary influenco, by a
stern and impartial administration of justice. I
hope the permanent result of this rhadamantnino
visit will be all these sanguine citizens expect of
it. Hogs, I have already said, there are no longer
any, or next to none." Cattle also are scarce.
SHERMAN'S boys "driv 'em." Formerly cattle was
plenty here, though generally poor. ? good breed
of cows is much needed, and so also of sheep, of
which I did not see a Bingle one during four or five
days' stay in the vicinity.
Cutting and rafting timber formerly was a lead?
ing branch of industry with tho people along both
sides of the Edisto River, but it seenjs to have
fallen into desuetude; whether because there is
no demand for timber in the city, or from some
other cause, I did not learn. There is a large and
flourishing steam saw-mill (the Empire Mill),
three miles abovo Blackville, on the railroad,
which supplies the building material for this town,
and also saws and planes for exportation.
The people of Barnwell District, if I was cor?
rectly informed, have been more fort?nate than
many of their neighbors, in regard to the charac?
ter of their rulers aud masters. The militan- and
Bureau officers m the District, ever since the in?
stauration of the new era, have, with scarcely an
exception, given gTeat satisfaction. They ?ave
uniformly aimed to do justice to all alike, irre?
spective of "'color or condition." Major L.
WALKER, 5th United States Infantry, Commandant
at Aiken, and Lieutenant STONE, 45th Regiment,
also stationed thore, are both highlv spoken of.
So, also, Mr. WM. A. NEHLAND, at Barnwell C.
H., the agent of the Freedmen's Bureau, who is
said to be a very efficient officer. It affords me
great satisfaction to record such testimony.
A few words now on registration, and I have
I done. The negroes, all, and everywhere, have
registered. The whites generally up here, I think,
have not registered-and this lor various reasons.
They have been thoroughly discor raged. The
ruling has beon various at tho different Boards of
Registration. Each and all of thom, however,
seemed to act upon the conviction that the Con?
gressional Acts creating these Boards, ought to be
construed, not hborallVj as every law should be
construed where thero is room for doubt, but as
illiberally and proscriptive as possible. Thus I
was told of one old and consistent Union man,
who was refused the privilege of registration, be?
cause he had sons in the war. There were last
week only 70 whites registered at this precinct, i
against 350 votes polled here before the war. Per- i
haps MORE ANON.
LETTER FROM MO! L Titi E.
NEW YOSE, September 16, 1867.
The readers of THE NEWS are inri Led to accom?
pany Moultrie into the innermost recesses of the
spirit realms-into the verv head-centre and head?
quarters, as it were at least, of New York ghost
dom. Dodworth Hall is the place where the
spirits and their followers of the flesh hold forth;
Sunday night the timo when the revels begin;
and so behold mo in the flesh and your readers in
the spirit seated last night m said Hall, to hold
converse with the denizens of this world and the
next. On entering the room, we note with a cer
lain. degree of satisfaction that as the audience, so
far as tho flesh is concerned, in small, there is ]
abundant room for such invisible spirits as, we are 1
informed, are there to watch the proceedings and j
take note thereof in one of the dead languages, i
The portion of the audience who have the I
misfortune to be, so far as their spirit is con- .
cerned, hemmed in, shut up, cabined, cribbed,
and confined ina tenemen;. of mortal clay, give
evidence of an uncontrollable musical predilection,
and suddenly and unexpectedly break forth in ?
most unuiuuical bowlingH, (.. no particular air
to speak of, but a "remember me" burden, sup- 1
posed to be addressed to forgetfully inclined
ghosts. The singing (?) being concluded, a sane- :
tified and ghostly looking personago arose, and,
in a voice like Hamlet's father's, indulged in a :
very deep and metaphysical discourse, clearly
I demonstrating to his own satisfaction- and it I
I might have been to the satisfaction of bis audi?
ence, could they havo understood him that when
' the mortal coil is shuffled otT the immortal spirit
takes a new deal, and remains on this earth, or at
least visits occasionally, ou a kind of ghost fur?
lough, such localities wherein it once lived and i
paid board, but whore it can now exist on a much
more economical principle. When the orator sat
down. the audience-like the Chief Justice in the
Pickwick trial-woke up and went home, somno?
lent, but yet awike to the conviction that, spite of
the excise law, there is at least one place in New
York where spirits can be found on the Dav of
Rest.
The exhibition of the ingeniously constructed
model of a pneumatic railway and postal despatch
at the American Institute Fair, has justly excited
?he attention and admiration of the scientifically ?
inclined. The first natural principle of locomotion,
much in vogue in the days of ADAM and his family,
and not yet entered out of fashion, was what is
known in vulgar parlance, as "Shank's Mare,"
Quadrupedal animals were next pressed into ser?
vice, and oxen, horses, mules ana so-forth, came 1
into play, or rather came into work; next came
vessels," wafted along on the whistling wings of the 1
wintery (and summery) winds, then came steam,
now we are!to be sucked along at a wonderful speed, '
tbrongn dark tunnels. This air exhausting pro?
cess ot locomotion seems to exhaust, the subject,
and it is impossible to i>onceive- what improvement
can bo made next. The time may not be far dis?
tant when my letters to THE NEWS may be eueked
along from New York to Charleston in one-half the '
time that it now takes to mako the trip, and tho '
nursing principle of travelling may yet entirely
supersede all others now in vogne.
ADELAIM; RIBTOKI has arrived, and appears on
Wednosday night in her favorite rolo, 'Elodea."
On the steamer which convoyed the great tragedi- j
eune and her troupe to oui- hospitable and money
making shores, a sad accident occurred; a poor
seaman having boen washed overboard and lost.
RiSToni at onco conceived and successfully carried
out tho charitable design of giving a dramatic en?
tertainment on board for the benefit of tho family 1
of the deceased sailor, and aa thero was a full pas?
senger hst, quite a respectable amount was realiz?
ed. RiSTOBi's acting in charitable roles on the
stage of lite has endeared her to the masses hero,
and given her as much notoriety even as her pro?
fessional genius hos merited and insured.
The chess mania, which has of late been subsid?
ing into the sore and yellow leaf, has taken a new
lease of life from the arrival of ono of the best play?
ers of the Cresoent'Ci ty, the borne of Mourn v, and
the sceuee of BTJTLEB'B silvery confiscations. 1 he
New Orleans champion, confident of his inability
to cope successfully with Captain MCKENZIE, has
been breaking lances with the veteran STANLEY.
Thus far an equal number ol lances has been shat?
tered on either side.
An ingenious contrivance has just been invented
in the shape and form of a gas burner, by which the
light may bo, to all appearances, completely extin?
guished, and can be, simply by turning tho screw,
relighted at anytime. As one of them is now in use
in the house where I risid9, I can give personal
testimony as to its gres I practical utility and con?
venience.
There is another Richmond in the field who dis?
putes with BABNUM the palm of superiority in the
museum and theatrical line. BANVABD'S Museum,
located at the corner of Broadway and Thirt.eth
Btreet, is a very neatly and tastefully constructed
theatre; though the museum collection is, thus tai.
rather in embayo-the performances, however,
have, thuB far, boen atttractive, and tho "Devil's
Auction,1' a spectacular piece, with a ballet, in the
"Black Crook" style, ia announced for production
soon, and may place BANVABD a point or tn o ahead
of his rival of mermaid and woolly horse notoriety.
Tho fall season of the Hoboken races will be in?

LETTER FROM THE COAST.
[FROH OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.]
JOHN'S LOLAS?, S. C.^September 16, 1867.
To the Editor of the Cliorleslon Baily Neves:
Some weeks sinoo an official accredited to the
Kremlin of tho Carolinas, on his tour along this
coast, put tho question if it wa? necessary to have
a military guard on this Island to proloct the
planting interest ' against the possible trangres
sions of the freedmen during cotton picking time.
The respondent gave it as his opinion that such a
course would imply a want of confidence in their
honor. and that the freed people should rather be
put on their good behaviour and be made to un?
derstand so. If this should fail it would then be
time enough to exercise a military surveillance.
The introduction of troops ought only to be re?
sorted to as an extreme remedy. Nothing has
happened since to advise a course different from
this. True, there hare boen petty thefts of wa?
termelons and potatoes-mere family reprisals by
the way-but beyond this the eighth command?
ment has been very laudably observed by the
freedmen. What does seem expedient, however,
is some sort of protection against scheming
outsiders, " cotton-catchers " and " fences. "
There is known to exist a party of most
unscrupulous rogues, both white and colored,
ready to uso these unsophisticated freedmen for
purposes not altogether blameless. They lay in
wait for them at the wharves at Charleston, snap
np their wares, promise them certain prioes, pay
them certain amounts and give the whole transac?
tion a show of fairnees by handing thcso field
hands a slip of paper, more or lessfwritten over.
On inspection these precious documents show just
nothing at all. Such operations were made a regu?
lar business of last year; nor was all that trans?
pired there confined to this. Cotton brought in
hastily, evidently got in a foul way, was spirited
out of sight and the swindler swindled. In every
case the freedmen knew that he was cheated be?
fore he left town, yet, with one or two exceptions,
no inst auce is known where he sought and found
redress. And the experience of one was no lesson
to his neighbor. The same trap caught the same
game.
If there is a weakness more striking and in
its consequences, more pernicious and cruel than
another with our colored brethren of small
means, it is an irrepressible penchant for the
possession of a horse or mule; An animal,
primarily to help him till his land, but ultimately
bo turn him to any use his ingenuity can devise.
And they aro masters in the art of using horses in
lift?rent ways, from the purely useful to the
ludicrously absurd, A mon and woman mounted
ra the same mule ; a grindstone moving leisurely
dong on a horse, held in place by tho driver ;
buckets of water carried on horseback, nicely
balanced on the rider's head, are sights for a
circus, but can here be witnessed free of charge in
all their grotesqueness. The vehicles, too, are of
the oldest and oddest kind, and. woefully worn.
Rude and roughly-hewed Bhafts, wheels of different
patterns, axles worn down and creaky, with a body
iisproportionate in size, compose the conveyance
you are meeting houri}*. Add to this a harness,
the different,, parts of which have done duty at
carious times, and in manifold capacities, and a
lean, lank, shankey animal, and you have the con?
trivance by om- freedmen called a team. The
strength, or rather weakness of his beast, is a
thing cf little consideration to the black. Sermons
have beon preached on the abuses of overloading
these wretched half-fed draft animals by the
score, vet every 8unday, every day of a public
gathering, shows a 'repetition of the nui?
sance. His ill-advised sense of accommodation
gets invariably the better or the good judgment of
the freedmen. Death is making sad inroads in
his possessions, and relieve the . >oor things of suf?
ferings that have tobe seen to be fully understood.
It is no exaggeration to say that out nf a hundred
horses and mules brought,' in the beginning of the
year, on the Island, forty died of ill treatment and
starvation before the opening of summer.
There are no political movements to report from
our neighborhood. One would think that ihe gen?
tlemen having the nomination of Convention mem?
bers in charge would make some stir. The freed?
men are particularly quid and apathetic. The
rush of matters lately has overborne them. They
are quietly laying on their oars and drifting with
the current The political problem is not under?
stood to be of a complicated nature in this district.
Since the niling vote on either island will" go as a
unit at the disposal of certain controlling influ?
ences, it will be easy for any two to elect members
from their own insular precincts respectively,
thereby throwing out the third. No com?
plications have as yet arisen, however, and it is
doubtful if there is even named as yet the man \
who is to represent the District. With such an
overpowering colored vote as there is hero,
and such a perfection nf unanimity, it
would be strange, indeed, if the negroes did not
advance their claim to representation by one of
their own color. In proportion to the widles
they are as thirty-five to one, and thc re arr> not
wanting those here who would be willing to spend
a good time at Columbia in the rote of delegate;
particularly since ours has proven rather a rich
''placer." Other sections Bent thoir delegates to
the late informal meeting at the Capital to shift
for themselves as best they might. We of the
aristocratic precinct of John's Island dispatched
our man in stvlc.. With his pockets well lined
with the needful, he went assured of the fact that
should he uood any more at any time during the
session, to ank, and it should be given unto nim.
It is said he never needed all he started with, a
fact reflecting credit on the liberality of those wno
sent him. Whether this same candidate, as they
have it, could be prevailed upon once more to ex?
change the field for the hall of legislation would
much depend upon the delegation urging his ac?
ceptance. For, not without his share of ambition :
and pride, he would greatly prefer being
waited on, if not by whites alone, at least
hy a mixed Committee. These are understood to ,
l>o his wishes, and it is hoped that, no impediment ,
preventing hiB availability, he will bo proposed by ,
tho Holid phalanx of the white voters, twenty-eight
in number, as a public acknowledgment of their
willingness to surrender all prejudice as to color, \
costo or condition. According to popular version,
the hump-backod duko was offered tho crown of ,
England nv men selected through his own machi?
nation?. If tho candidato will set his wits to work
he too may be found with the prayerbook lost in
pious meditations by the gentlemen ho wishes to
impress favorably. Still I greatly fear that there
yet remain those among us who object to him,
and that his friends will all prove to be of his own
color very slightly deluded. But for form's sake
this might prevail.
Would you believe it. tho hopeful signs of the
times are already telling in favor of increased en?
ergy and activity. Gontlemen under the twenty
thousand dollar cloud begin to think now they
have something to do besides looking on and
watching the shifting scenes boforo them.
Tnt- amnesty proclamation and other signs
of lifo at the Capitol in tho absence of
Congress show that they and their condition
are not forgotten. Colifornia, too, leading
the rebound, young, warm and vigorous speaks iu
tones joyous and gladdening. We want little more
than such encouragement; only a check on the
thundering, sweeping passion of party. It does
wonders in dispelling the fear of confiscation.
For, say what you may, it lurked like a hidden
serpent in many a mind. And within a week rafts
of lumber have come to build negro huts and cot?
ton houses, and engines and ginB are being sent
for, and we are m a fair way to open business in
earnest.
Two pence, ha' penny, Mr. Editor, for a picture
photographic of all the faceB that peered behind
telescopes on the moon's eclipse last Friday.
What a glorious view we had of it close by the
beach; a double view you may Bay, and at half
price, and uncrowded, and unelbowed. The water
smooth as glass and clear aa crystal, made an ex?
cellent reflector and served to relieve the strain on
the neck*, muscles. For the moon s doubla was as
plain and brilliant as the moon itself. How many
political astronomers, think you, such as Clay,
Calhoun, Benton: and others, are watching from
other spheres the partial eclipse of this bricht
hemisphere ? And are they too, during it all see?
ing the taint outline ol'the whole as it was and
soon will be again ? With what eagerness they
must have watched the painfully slow motion of
the shadow that darkeued its fairer half, and how
their joy will bound when finally they see tho sure
signs o? rcturnine brightness. Cotton opens but
slowly. A new crop ot cotton worms is just ma
Linr ita appearance. A.

To Mr. 0. s speech on the occasion, JUAREZ re?
plied as follows . "The satisfaction felt under all
circumstances on receiving an Fnvov Extraordi?
nary and Minister Plenipotentiary ot the United
States of America, near the government of the
Mexican republic, is augmented when you declare
to me that your nomination is an evidence of the
sympathy ot the United States for tho triumph
which Mexico has obtained in the derence of her
independence and of her free institutions. The
United States have given their moral support to
the cause ot republicanism everywhere, and to its
free preservation in Mexico, by sustaining the jnst
principles of international rights. Thc people
and tho government of Mexico, in thr-iv struggle
for tho cause of the republic against a foroign in?
tervention, have estimated or qo estimate, to the
full value, the sympathies of the people and the
government of thc United Staten, which, in the
grandeur of their prosperity have demonstrated
the justice of their policy irt sustaining the prin?
ciples of non-intervention as Que ot tho hrst obliga?
tions ot governments in thoir i ospect duo to tho
rights of nations. I gratefully acknowledge the
expression of your benevolent sentiments for the
welfare ot the Mexican people, and with them you
give me the assurance of your efficacious co-opera?
tion in the desire which animates the government
of Mexico in cultivating and improving its rela?
tions with the government of the United 8tates, to
maintain always a firm friendship, and to promote
the mutual mterests'of thc- people.
CEN. SICKLES AND THE NEW YORK
TIMES.
We gire below an extract from an editorial pub?
lished in the New York Time.*, of Monday, reflect?
ing severely on General SICKLES', speech made at
the Brer oort House. General SICKLES, in making
that speech, was guilty of many errors. He slan?
dered a brave and cortamly truthful poople, who,
when the fight, which had been openly made,
was over, returned to their allegiance. Hu
stated what he knew to be incorrect from a legal
point of view when he spoke of paroles. He
knew that paroles are given to enemies, and
that when a man ceases to be an enemy, and be?
comes a citizen, he may commit treason, bnt he
cannot violate a parole. He committed a breach
of good taste, when he, by implication, slurred i
the man who had given him his position, and had
rewarded his former services ; and lastly, he re?
canted from the political faith of his life, when
he advocated obedience to the blind will of a ma?
jority, in defiance of that Constitution, the great
object of which is to protect minorities.
The Times says :
"The occasion for speech-making, however
sound and sensible, has to be carefully chosen.
The country, at the present moment, is in no great
humor for military serenades either by the Na?
tional Guard or the 'Grand Army of the Republic
We are all willing and anxious to see every tribute
of honor and respect paid to those who have faith
lolly done service for the Union in times of peril.
But the country seems to long for the time when
we can dispense with military display as an adjunct
of oivil reconstruction. General Sickles tells his
old associates that the enemies who surrendered
to Grant, and Sherman, and Sheridan, are
now on their parole of honor to obey the
laws ot the bind. Bnt it may be doubted whether
it is well ?br in officer in Gen. Sickles' position
to expre?, even indirectly, a doubt that their
parole would be broken under any condition,
whether the President aims to give effect to the
wishes and intents of Congress or not. There has
not, thus far, been any indication that the officers
of the late Confederacy-those of them, at least,
who have any influence over political opinion at
the South-desire to thwart the purposes of Con?
gress, or to revive the sectional disagreement of
the past in any shape. There is evidence-strong
and incontrovertible-we think, in the other direc?
tion. The mischief-makers to-day are not the lieu?
tenants of Lee and of Johnston, but the scum
and refuse of Southern political conventions of j
seven years ago, who took to secession as a means
of living, and who would revive it to-morrow,
were there any force left in them, for the same
end.
Words uttered by a loyal public servant-and
one especially in the position of Gen. Sickles
ought to be scrupulously weighed. No careful
student who looks at the situation dispassionately
can safely commit himself to the opinion that the
integrity of the country is in any way imperilled
by the league of military Confederates now under
parole. The peril is here, first, by reason of the
conflict which the President has provoked with
Congress; at the South by reason of the vidons
activity of non-combatant politicians who vainly
struggle to revive the sectionalism of bygone
times.
STAY LAWS-WHAT BUSINESS M Br
THINK.
We publish below a communication on the subject
of the stay-law. While we give it prominence fa
our columns, it must not be understood that we
endorse the views entertained. If our people had
not been impoverished by the results of the late
war, it would be very well to talk of men refusing
to pay their honest debts. If our State was in the
condition of those States North, where money was
made instead of lost, as with us, during the war,
the logic would hold good. In our case abstract
reasoning means very little. We look at astual
facts and in doing so endorse the "order" of |
General SICKLES, commonly known as order No.
10. But our correspondent ail an intelligent mer?
chant bas a right to be heard, and we cheerfully'
give him that right.
To Oie Editor of the News:
Perhaps it will do good to make a few remarks
about the "Stay Law," and to thow bow injurious?
ly its workings affect us in South Carolina. Said
a liberal merchant of New York to one of our mer?
chants, some days ago : "Your Stay Law, and the
propensity of your people to prolong credits, in
fact, to postpone payments as long as possible, is
the real cause of capital being shy of seeking in?
vestments in your State. Before the war, your
planters run yearly bills with the storekeepers, who
bought from us; at the end of the year, indulgence
was in a majority of cases asked of us, and the
reason assigned was, 'our customers are not pay?
ing up,' icc. If we sue them, it will take eighteen
months to two years to get judgment." Such
legislation is a fraud on the business man and an
incubus on trade. No sooner did the war break
Dut than your Legislature, with great unanimity,
passed a Staw Lay-the most stupid act that an
intelligent community could have put upon record.
It created a widespread impression that it was
wise to procrastinate, and procrastination was the
order of the day. Some well-to-do-debtors took
moneys which should have been saved for pay day
and went into schemes as visionary as a South Sea
bubble; others spent their substance in free living
and extravagance, and when the war ended, nearly
all were in financial tronble. But for the Stay
Law, all your local debt would have been settled
now, everything your people owe is piled up
against them.
Common sense, would suggest, a general settle?
ment and a fresh start, and your judiciary drcidod
almost unanimously to open the Courts, and they
struck down the Stay Law. Again your public men
besieged Gen. Sickles, and ho proclaims a Stay
Law "by order." The fault is not the General'*,
but thoso who asked for the order, to evade justice.
"What is the situation t?-day~you cometo raise
money on your credit, your letters are of the very
best character, and you ought to get the monoy,
you iuu8t-bu< yon wiP r.ot gel it, tor the reason,
that however good your intentions, you must use
the money to be able to pay interest for it, and to
use it, voil must invest in merchandise, or crops or
other business-and once eut of your hands, you
are at the mercy of those who have it, and if they
don't choose to pay, you can't pay."
Now, Mr. Editor, this is the true situation of |
affairs; our people have established for them?
selves a character for procrastination, which is a
bar to all loans, to all new credits. There is only
one way out of it, and it is this : Put no obstacles
in tho way of settling your just debts; pay up
what you can.
It is one of tho worst signs of the times that our
interior preas should be so persistent in clamoring
for moro time for debtors. It ia only putting off j
the evil day, which must sooner or later come,
and while one class is thus procrastinating, the
great interests of the State are dwarfed, and the
willing workers are dragged down by this heavy
load of the bankrupt law, who refuse to acknowl?
edge their true and real condition.
