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." Gen. Grant ordered by telegraph this morning a report of the sanitary condition of the army in the 5th Military District. >.

Tne following officers of the steamer Taconey, ordered from Pensacola to Portmontb, New Hamp? shire, in. consequence of fever, died at sea : Mid? shipman Robert M. Griffin; Carpenter Wm. Giles; Third Assistant Engineer Nicholas. A Grand Lodge- of Odd Fellows, in session at New York, consumed the first day in arguments regarding non-official members. There was 512 deaths in New York last week, a decrease of 49. General Lee 14 M? Healing Springs, Virginia. He has been ill, bul ls m>w convalescing.

HU feUow-prisoner, Dr. Mudd, the poet doctor, being sick, is treating yellow fever very successfully. Many clerks of the departments are framing copie* of the President's proclamation. From Richmond.1 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 to-day without altering the result. About 200 black votes were thrown out from the fact that they had forgotten the names they had registered by, and handed in thoir votes ' under different Gem. Beau reg arti In New York, 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. From AI a sri viii e. NASHVILLE.

WHIG. 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? augurated to-morrow by a grand hurdle race, a two-mile dash and mile heats for all ages. The weather being cool, clear, and, in all respccts.farora blo. Much sport may be anticipated, and an ac account thereof may be looked for in my next. I catnot remember ever to have seen. even in the good old d&VB (the rich old days.i before- the war. euch an influx ot' Southerners a.s there is here at present, lt seems to me that Charleston especially has emptied itself info New Yolk. Among those who have just gone through thc oinptving process, fortunately tor himself and un? fortunately for an individual who shall be name? less here forevermore, is Hr. HATTON, of the firm of HAYDEN & WniLUEN (the latter gentleman is also here). The nameless individual called at one of tlia largest jeweler's establishments on Broad wry, and introducing himself as Mr. HAYDEN, ot Charle?ton, endeavored to negotiate for the pur? chase-on time-ol' a largo auiouni of diamonds. It so happened, however, that one of the members of the firm had been personally acquainted with the real HAYDEN- in time rono by, and was much surprised at the extraordinary change his countenance had undergone. He did not, however, give o.ipresHioii either to his BUrprise or sunpicion, Lu* limit, the un? known call on tho monow. Meanwhile, he found cot only HAYDEN himself, but WHILDEN likewise, ttnd?o contrived that the two HAYDENS should meet at his etoro. they did meet, and your readers can readily imagine thc scene that ensued. Suffice to sar that a big policeman played c prominent part, and that thero was a jail ?cene m the diamond drama. The spurious Hayden has had his coun terfe.t presentment artistically executed, and the picture now occupies a nail ot honor in the rogues' galierv at the police photographic establishment.

MOULTRLE. 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.

"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.
