' -Very Hov. Dr. Benedict J.

The Emperor being conscious of the great ser? vice that these wells will be to agriculturists ' audio annies during campaigns, has been ma? kin g experiments with the process and with toe implements as well as with American pumps generally. "literary men, newspaper writers, wita and Bo? hemians will open their eyes wide with wonder on reading the account of the prodigious suc? cess of 51. ROCHEFOET, the editor of the Paris Lantern. To hear of a young man being paid ??the rate of $2,400 a week, or $125,009 a year, in gold, for writing as much "matter" per week as.' would fill threo columns of this journal nothing like it waa erer known before. But Eochefort deserves it. -A'Washington letter says: 'Travel upon the routes from the Sontb appears largely on the increase. Each train from that section comoB heavily ladened with passengers on the wing North ward, socking a cooler latitude. The large number of carpet-bags carried by these . travelers' isanoticeable feature. It bas been suggested that, as the elections in most of the -S<jatb'ern States are over, the disappointed as? pirante are now retttming home." '-The New York correspondent of the Phila? delphia Ledger says : "Governor's Seymour's latter to the Tammany Committee is attract? ing much attention. Perhaps its most im? portant feature is his statement that the resolutions of the Convention are in accord ?with his views, and that he will strive to carry them ont in future, wherever he may be plac? ed, in political or private life. The Republi? cans had made a point, that as the Governor had heretofore said or written nothing directly committing himself to that portion of theplut form, maid' by Mr. Hampton, of South Caro? lina, which declares the Reconstruction acts null and void, so he would be too wary to com? mit himself to it<hereafter--but the point in -the face of thia communication, you will see, amounts to nothing." -The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Gazette says: "A highly important question has been mooted, end is DOW being discussed in political circles here, as to wheth? er the Southern States can, by any constitu? tional or legal means, rid themselves of the carpet-baggers, who have succeeded in creep? ing into the United States Senate, without a constituency to represent, if it be shown that they do not represent the people of the States from which they pretend ta hail. Prominent .legal gentlemen have given an opinion that it could be done by means of the writ of quo war ranto, to be taken out by the Governor of each State, and thus bring the question into the Supreme Court, where the legality of the Southern elections could be thoroughly tested . and determined.'1 -The New Orleans Times says: "Mr. 8. Ty ler Bead has en bis 'Sea-Glen' plantation, near the month of Pearl River, some sea island cot? ton, which rattconed this year from the roots of last year's plants, md is now loaded with a luxuriant growth of blossoms, forms and bolls, promising even a finer product than the last year's growth". For those readers who do not understand what is meant by the word rat toon, we may state that the cotton was not planted at all, but shot -np this year from the . roqts of the old plants. The price of sea island cotton last year from the same place was $1 20 . s. pound, and this year is said to be very flour? ishing and even more valuable. The cultiva? tion of tbis speoies of cotton, as is well known, is only adapted to peculiar localities along the islands and sea shore ef the Southern States, and the fact that there has been a belief that the cotton can only ibe successfully raised ou the. sea islands of Georgia and South Carolina, has only hitherto prevented ita more extensivo introduction. We should like to. hear from some of our friends of the two last named . States, whether any such phenomenon as the , one mentioned has been there witnessed." -The Nashville papers give an extended and interesting account of the proceedings of ox Confederate general officers at a meeting held .in Nashville, and at an interview with the mil? itary committee of the Legislature on the first instant, at which the following ex-Confederate officers were present : Generals N. B. Forrest, B. F. Cheatham, G. J. Pillow, B. B. Johnson, 8. R. Andereon, W. B. Bato, George Maney, George W. Gordon, W. A. Qmarlea, Thomas B. Smith, G. G. Dibrell, John C. Brown and Jos. B. Palmer. At the meeting of officers held preliminary to the interview with the military committee, Gen. Forrest was chosen chairman, and a memorial to the Legislature was adopted and signed by all the officers, at which it was emphatically denied that they sought the over? throw of tho r?tate government, nor did they believe that there was any organization in Tennessee, public or secret, which has such a purpose, and pledging all their influence to uphold and support the laws and aid the au? thorities in their execution. At the same time they respectfully suggested that a removal of the political disabilities resting upon so many of the citizens of Tennessee would heal the wounds of the State and restore the union and prosperity of the people. In their interview with the military committee the same senti? ments were reiterated in speeches by Gen. Brown, Gem Forrest, Col. Boche, Gen. Cheat bam, Gen. Quarles and other officers. Col. Prosser, of the military committee, made a speech, expressing confidence in the honest in? tentions of the ex-Confederate officers, bat said that lawlessness had been committed which must be suppressed, by moderate means if possible, but, if necessary, by extreme measures. CHARLESTON. -0 MONDAY MOBNTNG, AUGUST 10, 1868. For President..H.OBATIO SEYMOUR. For Vxce-Presilent.FRANCIS P. BLAIR. General Har .pion, the South and Rev? olution. It is difficult to deal with adversaries who believe that all is fair- in political war; and when, in addition, these adversaries have it in their power to publish false statements which they will not oorrect, it becomes almost impossible to escape calumny and avoid misrepresentation. The South ex? pected that the utterances of its leading men and the expressions of its people would be garbled and perverted by the Republi? can press; but while there is a Democratic journal in the country, or an honest Demo? crat in the North, East or West, we do hope that the falsehoods and slanders of the Rad? ical organs will not pass unchallenged. South Carolina bas, of course, received more than her meed of attention at the hands of her political foes. The same men who urged that this State be cut loose from the continent and buried beneath the waves of the Atlantic; the same men who skulked in wagon trains, or blasphemed in legisla? tive halls, while their countrymen marched to meet the South; the same men who plun? dered their own soldiers during the war, and urged the organization of a war in peace, that their profligacy and peculation might continue to flourish; these same men have heaped their slanders upon oar heads, and hare tried with might and main to persuade their people that every man who ever wore the gray would be to aU time ?a rebel and a traitor." They admitted the repentance of such men as the forger BOWER and the flag-raising MOSES, bat protested that such* men as HAMPTON and PERKY, BONHAM and BUTLER, MCGOWAN and Bunt, PIOKKNS and CAMPBELL, would always be the enemies of the Union and the constitution. They have made WAUK HAMPTON their especial mark, and at him have been hurled epithets too warm for gentle Southern ears. We know that they are unmerited, we know that they are false; but from one end of the country to the other goes the ory-the South is disloyal, South Carolina is OM the verge of rebellion, WADE HAMPTON is en? deavoring to inaugurate a new and bloody revolution. It was proper that Berne notioe should, be taken of these assertions, however patent might be their silly mendacity to the people of the State, and General HAMPTON, there? fore, in a speech delivered in the Demo? cratic Conventk on Friday, and published in our oolumns this morning, alluded t'o the imputations which ' had been cast upon his soldierly honor, and denied altogether the particular charges which had been brought against him. General HAMPTON declared that the people of the South were earnest and truthful in their desire to support the Union and the constitution,-that we were ready to accept the decision of the Supreme Court as to the constitutionality of the Re? construction acts, and to abide by that de? cision,-that we wanted peace,-that the flag of the late Confederacy was buried for? ever,-that he, in common with the South? ern people, was fighting as earnestly in the interests of peace as he had done in the interests of war,-and that he urged our people to avoid prejudice or passion, to en? dure the misfortunes they could not control, and to fight the great struggle with peace? ful agencies alone. This is what HAMPTON said, and it was preceded by a resolution in which the as? sembled Democracy of South Carolina, sit? ting in Convention, resolved "That, whilst "we enter our pro/est against the Rad? ical Reconstruction acts and the evils "they ere bringing upon the South, we rely "with confidence upon constitutional agencies "andpeaceful instrumentalities alone to bring ,(us the relief we seek and the reform we need." Upon constitutional agencies and peaceful instrumentalities ALONE do we rely to bring us the relief we seek and the reform we need. This is the reply of WADE HAMPTON and of South Carolina to the cry of "revo "lutiou" raised by the malignant Radical press. Congress Caught tn ita Own Trap. The fourteenth Constitutional Amend? ment, now declared to be a part of the Con? stitution of the United States, seems to decide the manner of voting for electors for President and Vice-Prc?;dent in a very sum? mary manner. The section two of the amendment is as follows : "SECTION 2. Representatives shall be ap? portioned among thc several States accord? ing to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and vice-President of the United States, representatives in Congress, the executive and judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebel? lion or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which th* number pf such mali citizens shall, bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State." The plain conclusion is.that if in any State the election of Presidential electors is taken out of the hands of the people and placed in the hands of the Legislature, the whole number of citizens in the State, not members of the Legislature, will be exclud? ed from the ba?is of representation, which would give the State no more than one-hun? dredth part of one representative or vote in the electoral college instead of the number to which she is now entitled. It is to be hoped that the Congressmen from Florida, whose State has already passed a law giving the election of Presidential electors to the Legislature,.will at once resign the seats to which they have no right. WE DESIRE to call the attention of the white people of this State, and of the North? ern States, to the detailed acoounts of the negro military organizations in the country districts, given in our report of the proceed? ings of the Columbia Democratic Convention, published this morning. It will be seen that the people of Union District narrowly escaped an attack by a band of two thousand armed negroes, which, we may add, was considered so certain, that the mother of one of the negro prisoners in the town jail was waiting near the gate for his release, and that a number of colored women came in with baskets to take their share of the plunder of the stores. Thia may be the "peace" of General GE ANT, but to us it ia worse than war. THE HON. ABMIBTEAD BUBT, PreBident of the Democratic Convention, said, as the session of that body was about to close: 'Let us make every white man in South "Carolina a Democratic canvasser, and every "family a Democratic Club." These words, together with the sober, thoughtful words of the Hon. JAMES B. CAMPBELL-"There is 'less danger from saying or doing too little "than from saying or doing too much; "that which is left unsaid to-day may be "said to-morrow; what is said to-day can "not be unsaid to-morrow"-must be our rule and guide in the coming contest for freedom. THE Democratic Electoral Convention passed a resolution announcing that the earnest desire of the Democracy ot the North and West, to work with the South for the restoration of the government and the constitution, haB done more to heal the wounds of the past than any occurrence since the war. WE HAVE not space to publish an editorial synopsis of tho proceedings of the Democra? tic Electral Convention published in full this morning. They will be found to be of ? great interest and importance to all our readers. _gj tot TO RENT, TWO SQL ARE ROOMS, IN a pleasant part of the city.
