[From the Galaxy Octul<er.] Tho following ie an extract fruin Mr. Seabrook's article: No statement of causes, however potent, nor any mero general description, could preparo the mind of one unaccustomed to thc South for the reality of tho condition of this people, as it was exhibited iu those sections whoro this Btate of things existed in its fullest development. With exception ol' thc few who were possessed of small tracts in then own right, they were to be found "squatting " tbat vulgar phrase in ordinary use-upon portions of thc estate? of the wealthy, generally in the depths of tho forests known as pine barrens, upon lauds so sterile aa not to attract tho attention of t hc owner, or to repay the expense of reclaiming them. Their scanty suWietcnce was earned by tho culti? vation of small patches of corn, potatoes, and other vogetables, and by tho produce of hords of cattle, wh.'ch grazed upon tho uniuclosed tracte sousual at tho South. Their habitations wero uncomforta? ble structures, built principally of logs, not at all superior, in many cascp to the wretched hovels of \ tho poorer class of tho peasantry of Ireland. Mai.y of these tenements were so small aa to con? tain "no moro than two. and sometimes but a sin? gle apartment , within the narrow limite of whoso crazy walls wholo families, mon and women, indis? criminately, were to be fouud crowded togother. The appearance of theso pcoplo accorded with their miserable condition. Ignorance and vico stamped their features with a brutal and forbidding aspect; tho poverty and insufficiency of their food, and the uncomfortable mode ot their life, added to tho effects of an unhealthy climate, rondeied them, with hardly an exception, lean in person and pal? lid in complexion; while a proverbial uncleanliness aud the raggedness of their attire completed tho revolting traits of the unhappy picture. Nothing could possibly bo more cheerful to tho eye than one of theso httlo settlements amid tho dreary landscape of tho pine barrens, tho uickly vegetation upon tho Btorilo plot, and the half-ruin? ed shaiitv, with logs and shingles unrelieved be? ttie touch of the whitewash, and dim and dismal with the stains of woathor. The contrast could not but appear striking to a stranger, who, per? haps, but a mile before, had passed through tho happier regions of fertile lowland along some swel? ling river, through fields teeming with rich natural {irodnctions, and along by stately mansions, the lomos of the wealthy planters; and he would find it hard to realize that the relined patricians, of | whoso Bploudcd hospitality perhaps ho had just partaken, wore members of ono race, citizens of the same country, with the semi-barbarous deni? zens of tho woods, whom he would with wonder soo staring at him from tho sidles of tho' highway. The morai degradation of this people, who com? posed the rank aud file of the rebel army during the war, was truly appalling. It is but natural to expect that ripe should nour? ish and abundantly produce its deadly fruit in thc favorable soil of natures so cursed by unpropitious circumstances. Tho wbolo touor of this diecourso forbids tho idea pt anything invidious in its aim, but tho full truth with regard to this particular feature of the subject; is BO appalling that somo proface is necessary, as well to allay incredulity as to remove that odium which the fidelity of Buch a description must inevitably excite. It is only ne? cessary to notice the darker traits of tho picture. The utter absence of thu sentiment of honesty among them was shown in tho universal desposi tion to petty theft, arid in the continued senos of robberies and depredations, by which they uncon? sciously made reprisal upon their richer neighbors for tho benefite which the latter enjoyed at so fatal a cost to them. Tho records of the courts showed an astonishing froquoDoy of those Migrant crimes which aro moro apt to fall under tho contemplation and the penalty of the law, such aa murder in all its degrees, even including forms to which tho iu seiners of the human heart are opposed, as of pa reola by children, ox children by their parents. That higher spirit watch aeemsnativo to the inliab? itante of the warmer clin-es. and which was dis? played in the case of the planters in a traditional valor and a chi valorous sensitiveness to injury* or Minuit, declined with this class into a prevailing ferocity, Which too often was evinced in tho most signal instances gf violence and ontroge. Their personal encounters, prowess in which was almost the sole object of their pride and ambition, left their traeos in the hideous disfigurement of many a ruffianly countenance, and case? of murder have been knowe, so marked by wantonness, that juries hesitated to convint, almost willing to believe that the utter absence of any motive must of itself have Rroved the insanity of wretches who seemed m?rr r to have obeyed the wicked caprice of a savage disposition. A promiscuous debauchery proved their insensibility to the obligations of virtue or to a feeling of modesty; and the history of many local? ities was disgraced by instances of the grossest and most revolting incest. To complete thc mel? ancholy p rtraiture, that must br added which en? hanced all their vicious propensities, tho almost uni? versal pre va lenee of intemperance to a degree which knew no limits or restraint .[except from the uisufti ciency of thoir means. Strict justice demands Die remainder that these ^tatemonts were not true or certainly not to tho same oxtert, of ali individuals of this class, many of whom, although poor and ignorant, wero vet quiet and orderly, sober and virtuous; but the pioture is unhappily too taithful to tho class at largo, who wero undoubtedly sunk into a depth of depravity which would have struck a stranger with horror, and would also, perhaps, have excited a deep regret and inure charitable consideration on the port of the planters, if it had not been for that ali?nai ion of feelings which dif? ference of rank alwavs creates, and that indiffer? ence which habituai contemplation invariably en? genders, Of the effects of tho political revolution on this class, Mr. Seabrook takes au encouraging view, perhaps moro so, than would seem to bo justified by tho circumstances of the case. Tho abolition of slavery will present to tho "po r whites" opportunities of obtainiug those employ? ments for which they are titted by present capacity. Ibo opportunity will breed tho habit of industry ind tho desire of progresa; industry will create thrift, and thrift wdl result gradually in mental and moral improvement. Theso influences will all in turn react upon each other, and tho impulso thus imparted will lift them undoubtedly abov their past abasement. Tho developments of th last two yean have been fully corroborative of th' view. Already their services aro, for tho first time, in general demand, aud simultaneously nil over thc country nianv of them havo boen taken into om ployment. They aro recovering tho plaoo from which too long they have boon driven, and this point once reachod, they will stretch upward from it to higher aims and bettor attainment.-. lu tho meantime thc steady decadence ot tho higher class tvill bring the two nearer together, and ovoutually society will bo wedded into a more compact and homogeneous masa, offering to all individuals Bqual privileges and the same rewards. This view afters an alleviation to thc decline of the planters The depth to which they would havo fallen before, it they foll at all, will nu longer exist, and their humiliation will bu stayed, perhaps, upon some middle plane, where they will comniiugle with tho rising masses of tho other peoplo in the establish tnent of tho substantial yeomanry which are at once tho pride and chief support of all modern nations. The phrase, "sinking among tho squat? ters," whU:h was formerly in general uso to express tho declining fortunes of ? falling tamily, will lose its dismal significance, and tho "squatter" h nisei! will disappear as a tyjio from tho face of the land. strife Items. MININO OPERATIONS.- A number of our citizens aro engaged in mining operations in differ ont sis - lions of the district. Gold is thu principal metal found in sufficient quautities to pay. Captain Banker, who is oporatn-g at Eaton's, near Walhalla, is much pleased with his MUCCCBS. His specimens, which we had tho pleasure of in? specting, are vi ry promising. Machinery, of the most improved pattern, has been ordered for this mine, and operations ?viii be conducted 011 a large scale if tho present success continues. It is estimated by an experienced miner that the rock taken from the Eaton mme, when crushed and washed, will make a return of at leant $125 to the ton.-Keowee Courter. CHILDREN FEEDINO A HORSE.-Tho telegrams of the 13tb, contained a dispatch from Washing? ton to the effect that a handsome painting, re? presenting two children fi-eding a horso, captured in South Carolina by some of Sherman's men, had found its way to tho Dead Letter Office. This no? tice attracted the attention of our young friend, Charley Marshall, who recognized tho picturo, from the description, as 'belonging to Mr. George Kapler, of T,cxmgtoii District. IIo immediately forwarded the proper vouchers to the Poetoffioe Department, and yesterdny morning received the Minting, carefully packed in a tin case, by mail. lt 18 in excellent preservation, notwithstanding Hw rough nsago tn which it was submitted previ ons to its reception al tho Doini Letter Office.

TUB RADICAL MEETING LAST WIGHT. In pursuance of tho notice in yesterday's paper, the Rads had a great pow-wow at tho Hibernian Hall last night. Tho house was densely crowdod an ocean of negroes, with a rivulet of white men. Speeches were delivered by MCBSTS. MCCLDNG, of | Missouri, Judge MERCUR, of Pennsylvania, Gen? eral WASHBUHNE, of Indiana, and Mr. OBDWAY, of New Hampshire. AB there was uo ono to answer, or conlradict, or call in question tho assertions of these speakers, our readora will not bo surprised to learn that thc greatest unanimity and harmony prevailed throughout. We have only space in this issue lo give thc re? marks made by Mr. F. A. SAWYER, on taking tho chair. Mr. SAWYER said : FELLOW-CITIZENS : I thank yon for the honor which you have conferred on me in allowing mc to preside over the deliberations of this meeting. It is always gratifying to receive marks of considera? tion from fellow-citizens. It is particularly eo on an occasion like this, whon wo aro assembled to greet friends from different parts of tho nation, who have kindly consented to speak to us to-night upon those questions of grave moment which vory much interest tho whole nation at this timo, and which to us are of all-absorbing interest. Wo aro honored to-night with tho presence of gentlemon from the great Stutes of Wisconsin, Indiana, Mis? souri, Pennsylvania, and from tho granite hills of New Hampslnie. Wo have hero those who can toll us ho? tho groat popular heart beats in response to thc calls of human fror dom; how that heart is still true, in spite of all revet sea, to thc calle of patriotism, to the demands for just government and equal rights to all men, regardless of color, race, or previous condition. (Applause.) We have here a gentleman from far-off Missouri, who has been in tho midst of tho border warfare, which was characterized by a barbarity almost un? heard of. Wo have with us to-night a gentleman, a niomhir of tho samo Congress -tho Fortieth Congress-who has with his own sword fought tho Lattles of human Ireodcm. We havo also a gentleman here from far-off Wis? consin, a State which, although only nineteen years old, did, in tho lato war, send nearly one ninth of her whole population into the struggle for the American life. Wo havo a gentleman, too, from Pennsylvania, thc defeat of tho Republi? can cause in which Ht to we havo buta few days since been callod upon to loam; and I will toll you that he has not lost hope for Pennsylvania; that he has still hope that Pennsylvania will coma out all right whenever tho question is fairly put to her, whether reconelruclion is to be based on principles of immutable juatice, or on ideas of po? litical trick and trado. As I Baid before, we have a gentleman from the granito hills of New Hampshire, a chief execu? tive officer of the nouso of Representatives of tho United States. These gentlemen will favor us by telling us what is thc feeling of thc United States Government, and what tho feeling of a fair portion of the people. These gontlemcn are all associ? ated with, and belong to, tho 40th Congress, and moro than that, they were niombers of tho 39th Congress. We havo been taught hero to behove by our press-a secession press has taught UB to believe-that if there were any me? in the whole United States that wore utterly detestable and malignant, it was tho menihers ol tho 9(lth Con? gress, I, aud I presume a great many of tho Southern men, wore mado to believe that these men wore not oven in human form-if wo believed the charac? ters given to them by the secession t ress in our neighborhood-but I find thom to bo apparently gentlemen. Thoy eoom to havo the interests ot the country at heart, and, perhaps, you will not all lgreo with the secession press when you hear ivhat they have lo say. lint I did not come hore to make a spocch. I'hoy havo oomc to spo.tk Tor themselves. Thoy uro no now recruits in the cause of human rights md justice. Thoy aro veterans iu thc cause, and ve may consider ourselves very mneh favored in isteniiig to their remarks.

And everywhere ho finds the confirmations of his favorite hypothesis. Ho sub? sidizes admitted phenomena, ingenious probabili? ties and bold prediction* to the law of Evolution, which constitotes tho "basis of bis philosophy. The germinal principle is as old as Epicurus: but tho illustrations aro as rocont aa Darwin and Hux? ley on tho Origin of SpecicB, and Tyndall on Heat considcrod as a Mode of Motion. The voice is Jacob's, but tho hairy hands aro Esau's. With? out tho passion, tho brilliancy, or tho rhythm, with which tho author of De Scrum. Natura most imperial of poota-marshals his atoms into a Cosmos, our modern philosopher sways tho molecules with the same arroganco, aud constrains thoir tribute in a richer palace of mind. Evolution, aa asserted by Mr. Spencer, implies a gradual progression irom the simple to tho com? plex, from thc homogeneous to the heterogene? ous. As applied to living organisms, it embraces increase of bulk as well a? changes of structure and function-growth os well a? development. Multiplicity springs from unity. Aa a coll hocemos a man in a fow years, so, under appropriate con? ditions, aud through & period of untold millions of voars, a factor ot' a similar sort, a '.small semi? transparent, gelatinous spherule" it may be, hus given origin to tho human race. So in all caaos. In each individual tho vital process passes from tho structureless to tho structured state, and be? comes speeiaiiaod in function. And those succos aivo modifications of a singlo organism illuatrato and correspond to the history of a wholo succos aion of organisms. The genera ami families, into which thc living world is distributed, arc tho pro? duct of physical causes, such as aro atilt in opora tiou. All "organic forms aro due to tho gradual modifications upon modifications, and divergen? cies upon divergencies, which have accumulated during myriads of ages. Without entering into discussion, we may be allowed to say, in passing, that tho analogy is in? complete. It forgets thai every such cell is the product of a perfect organism. "Tho world is de? veloped liko an acorn, perhaps; but whero is the oak on which that acorn grow? It is obvious that this doctrine neither requires nor admits any higher agency in thc production of life, or in explanation of its phenomenal lt re? pudiates any sorioa of croationa, and rejects the idea of creation aa "unthinkable." IL recognizes only adjustnu nts- cha?gea of state-a to-day, which abaorbs the eltfnents, and changes tho shapes, of yesterday, jtfst os wo ace a for??t ol oaks taking tho place of a fallen forest of pines, and developing tho mouldering trunks below iuto now and higher forms of vitality. While inter? preting tho rocondito laws and processes oF life, it relegates tho origin ot this power, and evon the power itsolf, to tho morning twilight of tho uni? verso, or tho dep*bB of ito primordial night. Coleridge saya of life* that it "supposes a posi? tive or univ creal prinoipje in nature, with & noga tivo principle in every pijrHeular animal; tho lat? ter or limitativo power'constantly acting to indi? vidualize, and, aa it wore, figuro the former. "Thus," no adda, "lifo is not a thing, & solf-snb sistent hypostasia, but an act and a process." rhia ia identical with Mr. Spencer's viow, except that ho attaches a much higher value to the i nil ei? meo of tho omirouiuciitc, upon tho organism. Lifo he rogarda as actam and reaction; as func? tional and atm. tural changes playing upon each ither, and adjusting themselves to external rela? tions; aa matter and motion, redistributed by in? cident forces. For while ovory organism, tends to 3crmanoncp, it yet is capable of change. Crystal ind jelly, tho inert and tho impressible, dow to? gether iu blood and sap, and aro variously affected ry agencies from without. Thus the undefined vital force" is stubbornly, gradually, surely dm pod and ' 'differentiated" by external cooxlsf mcea and sequences. And Ufo ia at oucc subdued md perfected by thia disciplino, as a good man by iflliction, or rather, to adopt the vague lapguag? >f onr author, this chango which wo apeak of, 'tho continuous adjustment of internal rolatioiiB xi external relations," is lifo itself, in ita broadost md most complete definition. Now, with all re? ined to Mr. Spencer and thc groat thinkur whom 10 follows, wo aro constrained to say that this lefinitiop ju not aatUifaotory. If life ia not tho irinoipio that adjusts, bat thc adjustment itself, riiat ground ie there for speaking of vital forco at ,11 ? And why may wo not accredit tho lifo cf a laromoter, of a balloon in the air, cr or a ahip at ea, where a similar, if lesa complex, adjustment if an object with its environment ia continuously nanifostod i While onr author has grouped with vondorful comprehensiveness, and di-enmiuated nth admiiable acuteness, tho influence of circum tances upon tho families of tho living, ho has not ttached sufficient importance to that sublime and oysterious onorgy which in higher organisms hecks and contr?la the external. It is true that ro are changing with thc ohanging seasons: rostra. (JV.OIJUP ipiurum, sempor, requlcsqueslne ulla 'erpo; ? vertun tur; noe quod fuUnnsve, siunusvo, Iras eriinus. Hut '.vo will hoed no poet and no philosopher,who eaclios us that lifo ia nothing moro than change, 'hero are dogreos of lifo as weil aa kinds and ingdoms; a lifo touched with spiril aa (roll aa a ife gross with earthly clay; and while Hr, Spencer nay proclaim oura to bb but a, modification, we Lsei it to bo a real and nrajostlc power. The evolution hypothesis, in ita prcaeui. form, liners from tho Lamarckian, which makes develop iiotit depend upon tho desires of thc animal, strt iug for gratification; thus, for example, a family f abort legged birds aro supposed to have bo? ome long logged, in a sortea of genera iona, by tretching their legs to got at Ihe Uah III tho shal :>WH. Ho crude a theory is now sot aside, for thc larwinian theory of Natural Selection. Tho fact f such ii transmutation na tho above ia admitted; ut it ia explained by tuo variability anti atavism f organic matter and, tho conditions of existence?, o. by it tendency to chango, its tendency to per ?anonoo, and tho effect of external circumstances, 'bother favorable or unfavorable, upon tho origi al typo or tho variation. Thus a short logged horc-bird givea birth to au abnormal chick with jngerlcga, and thus, being favorec? by tho abon? ance of food, tt ia able to'reach in tho" water tood 1 accessible to others; becomes tho thriving pro 3uitor ot a now varioty. It is able to maintain it elf, and also improve ita raco by crossings, ?md von give birth to higher varioties, botter ahlo to nduro the straggle for existence. Mr. Spoil? er, indeed, doo? opt implicitly accept the ypotl|es;u of Mr. Darwin. Hia general theo y is tho samo, but ho calls attention to facts hat Loom inconsistent with the preciso doctrina f tho distinguished naturalist-as, for example, ho infertility of hybrids. Ho alan notices (some rhat inconsistently with Iiis own statoincnta clso rh?ro) the limit imposed upon development. At certain high atago of culture thc power ofrepro uction ia enfeebled. And ho gives a wider acopo 11 the away of circumstances over organisms. Vet ,0 holde Mr. Darwin to havo shown beyond qnes ion that "a, great part of the (acts-perhaps the realer part aro explicable only a? resulting from ho survival of individual! which have deviated, in omo indirectly caused way, from tho ancestral ype." That there ia sumo truth, in the argument re, too, hold U) be unquestionable. Nay, tho im lorMuoo of tho doctrine of evolution, iii its logiti uate applications, is profound, In those days, rheo certain structural and functional divergen ies are persistently urged aa tho distinctions be ween man tho bestial and man tho immortal, it is rell that we should knowhow immense fa tho array f facta, accredited by the highest scientific ai'. hor.tiea, which prove that not ono, nor all, of thc liBtinctwiw insisted upon militate against thc loa'of a common ancestry to all mo.i. Tim varie iea of the human nice aro uot so great aa those ihieh selective breeding has produced in the fam ly oft :e rock pigeon. Yet that, tho principle has ?eon cai ried to an un warranted extreme ia equally lear. There are organisms BO different that their ommou origin, ovon with tho help of Ur. Spencer's [?agrame, is quite "unthinkable." To our minds he idea of a sjiecial creation ia simpler than that if evolution from a common mass, m such an in? tim?e, for example, na that ot a star-fish and n narrow.

Uni the sentences aro involved with parenthetic imitations, and burdened with nivol scientific erma, ?iud with repetitions upon repetitions, like chocs from a vast cavern, that gradually lose their irticulatenesH, until at length they roach thc ear inlv as bewildering, dying murmura.
