UO US SOUTHRONS."
Tho feeling most aroused by tho nrliolo
under t Lis titlo in Harper's Magaziuo is tbat
of curiosity to find ont tho character and
occupation of tbia Ur. J. W. DoForrest, vrho
writes sketches so Interesting. Wo have heard
his narnu in connect iou with novel writing,
and ho informs us hero that "for fifteen months
he performed tho duties of Bureau Major at
Greenville, B. C." It seems to havo become
fashionable among Northorn scribblers, or
whatever connection, now returning from tho
South, to write "sketches." One of these samo
gentlemen was appropriately ond pleasantly
answered some time Binco by tho "Charleston
Mercury." As usual, bo wss a scribbler, a
correspondent of somo Nortborn paper, and
must write "sketches." Ho made repeated at-,
tempts to force himself into Oharl'.Bton sosi
ety, all of whioj failed utterly, lt was appa?
rently noceHsary, however, that ?kotebes of
Charleston society should bo written, and they
were-tho author having never seen what ho
sketched. 1 . j
Tbs article before us ref&inds us very much
of th?B gontloman. Tho author commences
by enumerating the characteristics of"tho
"chivalrous and scmi-chiva rous Southrons,"
and among others, rc mar kn that "they have
fewer of the virtues of modern eooiety." We
aro BomowUat at a 1OB3 to find ont tho preciso
meaning of thia phrase "virtues of modern
society," aa indeed we aro at tho word semi
ckivalroas. He explains that by chivalrous
and Boml-cbivairons be does "not moan
crackers, sand-hitlers and other low-downers,"
and again he saya, "1 speak of the gentry,'the
educated* the socially influential, tho class
which, before the war, governed the South,
the class, which may soon govern it again."
Of thc? said class wo feel" ourselves perfectly
safe in saying that Mr. DeF. knows nothing at
all, except, perhaps, either what he may have
leirnt from his soml-chivalro?s low-downors,'
Or as a looker on, in official capacity. Social
intercourse with them be could never have en?
joyed while ^Bureau Major;" nor, indeed, in
any other capacity since tho waft Tho people
of the South have become too suspicions of
the Northern "virtues of sooioty," to mingle
at all with its representatives.
But to return to these "viriuia of modern
society." If by this phrase he pointe out the
happy attribute of the Yankeo to be pleased at
an insult, and highly delighted at the mere
proapeot of a blow, aince he hopes always
through its means to fill his pockets; if he
means by'virtues the still moro Christian char?
acteristic bf accepting pay from the seduce*
of one'e wifo, and'claiming ono's rights only
when tho Said pay is no longer forthcoming;
if, in abort, the gentleman refere to the incor?
rigible propensity of the Yankee to ignore ut?
terly all honesty or veracity when placed in the
scales against the "almighty dollar," we agree
with him that the South is ranch moro Iree
from these virtues, nnd wo hope utterly de?
void of them. If tbia bo virtue, wo pray to
Almighty God to be preserved from its influ?
ence.
Tho gentleman has devoted a great deal of
paper lo a description of what he calla the
"pugnacities" of the "chivalrous Southron."
He Baya "the weakest man by nature, the
man who, at Ibo North, wonld no more fight
thau he would jump out of a second-story
window, will, at t!>o South, resent sn insult by
a blow, or, perhaps, a stab or pistol' shot."
Here be brings in as instances several street
rows, bar-room rencontres, ic, which, at the
fou tb, are confined to tho low-downers of
whom be speaks.
The Southron he sketches wonld not be
found here. He has mixed up strangely, too,
this pngnaoity with self respect, and, appa?
rently, without understanding the difference.
We do not propose to explain it, nor to discuss
the merits of duelling. We eau only he-e
again regret the necessity which compels North?
erners to sketoh society of which they have
seen nothing. "The snporior civilization and
higher culture at the North" have done away
with duelling and taking to smashing each
other's noses and pulling oat eiob other's
eyes in a genteel and artistic manner. Where
such innocent little amusements are enjoyed
it is absurd to spsak of the outrageously bar?
barous custom of putting a weaker antagonist
on an oqnal footing with oneself. Io reference
to duelling, bowevor, it baa evidently been the
intention and desire of theautborto dMweome
horrible picture-something terrific-to at?
tract tho t tteutiou of readers, and ba bimsell
the hero who can escape through the mighty
dancers. He says: "The pugnacious customs
ol Southern society explain in part the extra?
ordinary courage which the Confederates dis?
played during the io bull ion. A man might as
well bo shot doing soldierly se -vice at Itali
Run or the Wilderness as go back to Abbeville
and be shot there in the duel or street en?
counter which awaited bim. The bullet hoi.
was a mere question of timo, and why not opec
one's arms to it on the field of glory." Gae
might suppose from this that all men at thc
South died by the bullet br bowie knife. Hon
terrible it must have been to this gentiemar
himself to bein such constant expaotation ota
bullet among bli ribs; and then In tho end tc
be disappointed. To the shame of Greenville
be it spoken. "Ob ye brave who fight fer glory'1
OT the Freedmen's Bureau, I fear veracity ii
not one of tbe "virtues" of your "society."
To prove all his bloody assertions, however,
he mentions, as an instance, "a dignified old
planter who won in his youth, by dint of fre?
quent fights and aueis, theaimame of 'Tiger
Bil].' In one famous encounter, this antiqm
worthy, disarmed, prostrate and ueld donn
doubled his legs over his adversary's back
and rowelled, from loins to knees, with Span
lah spurs." We should like to witness thi
wrath ot the said dignified planter upon hear?
ing latas litt lo "afflires d'honneur** described h
t/v i words. We oan almost imagine bim bo
ion as expressing his desire that the autboi
b L? dlod at tho South, where all men dio b;
tho same meant).
It ls needless to say that this is utterl;
false. Thoro ls tn old saying that no fal s i fl
oat i on ia BO injurious as that which bears th?
appearance of truth. Tho "Carolinians of th
seacoast," upon whom ho eilis, will percol v.
directly that this assertion is ono .of that cha
racier. But the gentleman proceeds, and ob
servos that "the high-toned gentleman is no
ol vii to outside barbarians. He nea not alway
civil to oar Congressmen in thc old days when h
go ve rn od." Now, whether thia be true or not
it is very certain that bis treatment of tb
"outside barbarians" bad an eminently benefl
cial effect upon their manners.
We doubt exceedingly whether Mr. Diokeni
encomium on the Senate, viz: "A dighifie
and decorous body, and Its prooeedlngs cor
ducted with muon gravity and order," would b
at all applicable to that body at present. Tb
member from Massachusetts, who, in the ol
day? of which the gentleman speaks, was coe
vlotedon tho floor of Congress of wilful false
hood, was literally frowned (rot of hi* seat b
Northern aa wella? Bo nth ern members, nc
dtdhsdorato^^Vfr^tion. 0

Bon Butler, recently major-general in tho Uni?
ted States army, and then member ot tho
Senate, eras con viol ed ot tho samo offence
under uiuoh moro .aggravated circumstanaee,
and not only retains his seat, but Is rc-eleoted
by an overwhelming ma]oritv.
Never before have Boch acenoB been en acted on
tbe floor of Congress as bavo been witnessed
there since tho closo t>f tho war. Members make
uso of tho most abusivo language lu connection
with each other's names, and to each other by
name, without being called to order; honesty
and truth in their intercourse with oaob other
are utterly disregarded, aud tho accounts of
thoir proceedings remiud UB more of the rowe
in a brothel than the behavior we would ex
poct from members of our supremo legislativo
body. Better wonld it be for tho reputation of
onr statesmen bsd they tho old "incivility" of
tho high-toned gent loman.
Ut tho "chivalrous Southron", as a class
in connection with poht.es, the gentleman
closes his article thus : "H?B day is passing;
ia anothoi generation his material will bo gone;
the chivalrous Southron will be as dead as the
slavery which created bim.V
Of this tho gent loman need not be uneasy.
In spite ol tho tyranny of tho Radical party,
bis Buporior character will yet govern tho
South as of old, and there is yet within bim a
feeling of contempt tor tho "virtues of North?
olm mo'lorn sooioty" which will induco him to
ding with still greater tenacity to bis old cus?
toms. SOOTHBON.

Another Political Lutter fiona Judge
Dent-Pungent Criticism of nee re tn ry
Bontwell ?nd iii? Political Coarse.
Judge Dont bas written to Secretary Bout
well a pungent letter, ot which the followiog is
a copy :
WASHINGTON. D. C., August 17.
To Bon. George t?. Boulwetl, Secretary of the
. Treasury:
8ra-I shall mike little apology for asking
your attention to my letter, and lc BB for the
nature of its'contents. You were.the first .to
deny the political orthodoxy of my friends and
myself, and by alt the rules of the forum I am
entitled to a defence. Again, you hold an office
of the repnblio, and,yuur acts, therefore, aro
legitimate subjects ot criticism by the bum-,
bleat citizen thereof. Bat id some respecte we'
are alike. For instance, we are both aspirants
for place, tilth this difference: You aim tobo
the next President, with overy assurance of
success, "except" in the opinion of tho people.
While 1 seek an humbler placo; with my
hopes in disastrous eoliose,. ''except" in the
judgment of Mississippi, no in the probable re?
solta of the future we both stand adverse to
tho judgment of tho country. In tho PUrault
of your ambition you ero ungrateful and Un-,
scrupulous as to tho meaos ol success..fWWp;
organ, the Now York SUD, in the samers
ridiculos the capacity ot your mastese^jna
d wolle with om pu adi s upon your noonbar fit?
ness for his office. Your tool. Ur. Bullock, be?
came BO reckless in the manipulation of your
department in the interest or your ambition,
and so defiant of tho wishos of the President
and the country, that to Bite" yourself from an
explosion of popular indignation you found it
convenient to transfer him to another sphere
of scandalous activity, where hiB? talents might
be exerted with equal effect and lesa effrontery.
Virginia, Tennessee, Mississippi and Texas
not to mention anything ao bumble as myself
were obstructions io the way of your success;
because through 'President Grant's interven?
tion in excluding the proscriptive clauses
from their organlo law, these States are
brought into tho Union sud firmly welded to
bis support.
Now thia is iq direct conflict with your sys to?
mat ired plans. For what nouerai Grant rots
in the ntXt presidential election, clearly Mr.
Boutwoli will not get, and. thereto re have you
denounced the conservative Republicana who
are for Grant. That you may obtain the pro
BCiipli ve Republicans who are for Bontwell, and
by some strange, dexterous management and
occult political ttratogy you have so worked
upon the confidence of tho President ss to
cause bim lo flourish tho club with which you
intend to break his bead, hy inducing bim to
Join yon io denunciation of the conservativo
Republicana, a party created by bia magnanim?
ity and triomphant through bis encourage?
ment. " .
But, air, "your purpose ia easily discerni?
ble, and bas a two-fold object, namely, to de?
?troy the national Republican* party in the
South, and then to reconstruct from the shat?
tered fragmenta a Bontwell party, with one
Riohme~3 in the field to strike for your crown.
But if you cannot succeed in this sob?me of
desperate enterprise, you moan to min," a re?
sult, from present opp jaranees, much more
likely to be reached.
Your official intelTBTJHOO fpr Wells, forln
ataoce. gave thirty thousand majority tor Wal?
ker. Your letter to Stokes gave Ben tor Ten?
nessee by au* overwhelming vote of seventy
thousand. Your marvellous political sagacity
now netivo in Mississippi and Texas will repeal
your calamity and again overwhelm you with
discomfiture and defeat. Sn pe rad d to these
results of your unapproachable folly the impo?
sition on these States of your iron-clad oath
and the alienation is complote, landing them
all io the outstretched arms of Democracy.
But the consequences of your folly does not
stop here-Oblo andgcVennsyl vania and othf rs
will follow. Decide their political status in
Octobt-r, and the North will echo back the
condemnation of the South, and peal in your
ears this fad, that there is still left enough of
the incorruptible virtue of ' tho repnblio to ro
buke you for a wanton repression of that most
sacred right-the elective franohlse. But, sir,
this will not deter yon from yonr mad course;
you will btill persist until every prop that sup?
ports oar party ls stricken away, and the whole
grand superstructure tumbles about bur oars
In hopeless ruin.
When you were appointed Secretary ot the
Treasury and unanimously, confirmed by a
Senate of every shadoof political opinion, did
yon tako on oath to administer your office im?
partially and for the exclusivo objecta of its
creation-"To collect tho revenue and control
the finances ot the country ?" Ia not, that offico
the property of the nation, and yourself only
clothed for a time with a little bilet authority?
Then, sir, bow do you explain this parveraion
of its legitimate uses and functions into a
means and instrument of oppression to foroe
and oompel an election of obnoxious rolers
upon the peoplo of the South. rn T> I
Is each a oourse consistent with your oath of
office, or do yon call this a great moral idea ?
Bat, Mr. Bontwell, though you have thus proa.
t itu ted the power ot your office for purposes***
oppression, ''without the warrant of con?
science or law," it may be that you oan tell mo
by what authority you assume to pronoanoo
upon my political orthodoxy. Who constitut?
ed you ibo infallible hope of Republicanism ?
Who gave you tho authority to burl the polit?
ical anatbemis of tba party? Asam, what
right bad yon to commit tho administration to
your policy ? Have yon to learn yet tbat yon
are only a part of the administration, and not
tbe whole ot it ? though your friends believe
tbat a monomania bes seized your mind on
that subject, and that you verilyabellevo your?
self "the State." Very respectfully.

Tlic casi of John H. Pratt, formerly a major
. in tho Confederate army, who was recently ar?
rested in New York on a charge of murder and
treason, alleged to have been committed at Jef?
ferson, Texas, came to a conclusion on Monday,
a? already stated In Tare News. Alluding to
this' case, which has ttl rac ted an uno tu tl
share of p ubi i o attention, the New York Times
?V??.]- . . :
, . lt was disposed of in s. quiet and legal man?
ney, and without any of the turbulent loenes
whinn marj persons conjectured would occur
in consequence of tho lively excitement created
by tho conflict or jurisdiction between Marshal
Barlow and Judge ItloUrnn. Tho examination
into the case was conducted belore United
States Commissioner Osborn.
' Pratt made his outrance into the building
several minutes before tho examination began,
and was attended hy a company of United
States artille/y. His' friends, who gathered tn
considerable /oreo, awsited his arrival with
great expectation, seomingly much concerned
for fear that he would be remanded to the ous
tody ,)f the Texas.authorities, io whose han 'e,
it waa i.did, his life would bo saorifleod as an
atonement for his misdeeds. A large number
of people wero assembled in the street, being
attracted under the supposition . that some?
thing startling would take placo between tho
military and the sheriffs forces. After the
co oj m ia ii on er bad tasen his seat and called
the case of tho United States TV Pratt, there
was a general eagerness manifested to seo the
prisoner, wbo wee brought in through a Bide
door. He subsequently took a ?'?..rat between
General Cochrane and General Pryor, his
conn BO!.
The proceedings held before Commissioner
Osborn woro opened by Mc Pllor, who sa'd
tbat he would not appear for the prisoner at
that time, because be had been legally dis?
charged by Judge MoCuun. Hs denied that
he had any intention of abandoning his client's
cause so lons as he had the poa er to invoke
justice. The commissioner claimed that the
Siate courin h nd no rieht to interfere in the
case, and oitr-d tho decision of Chiet Jua tico
Taiiey in tho caso of Abelman vs. Booth, to
show be bad jurisdiction over the pnsouer.
j Distriot Attorney Pierrepout subsequently
' made an addresB defending the aotiun of the
i United Sta.es authorities io boldlng Pratt,
for examination. Ho said that the question
about the Jurisdiction of the United
States bad already boen decided. Ibo
debate commenced at Fort Sumter in 1861,
and waa concluded at Appomattox Court?
house in 1S65. Tbe argument was a rode
[one, but it will never be repeated In our
time. The District Attorney represented that
tbe commissioner bsd precisely tbs ssmo ju?
risdiction over the cue as Judge Nelson wonld
have had if it had been conducted before bim,
and that no one could deprive bim ot bis juris?
diction, l?o eaid that Judge McCunn hod a
right to issue s writ of habeas corpus, but that
be should bavo remanded the prisoner back to
the commissioner on his discovering that be
was in bis bands." He said that Go vernor Hoff?
man bad received a telegraphic1 dispatch from
tho Governor of Texas, requesting him to re?
mand Pratt ' lo his custody. After reading ?
dispatch bom the ,Borrel ary of War, men Hop?
ing the facts ooonected with tbs orime alleged
against Pratt, the Distriot Attorney sn noun ted
that the government wonld produoe Burn ?vi?
dence against Pratt as bad been placed in its
possession.'
Deputy Mara?al Growly was then colled, and
tee ti Qed as to the manner of Pratt's arrest. Ho
said that the defendant had informed Mr.
Tracy, tho warden of Ludlow-sUeet jan. that
his hame wan Pratt, and tbat be waa from
Jefferson. Texas. Tuts waa tho only witness
iroluccd by tho prosecution. It waa under?
stood that the Distriot Attorney bad a large
mass of documentary ovidoico. but that lt was
riftt^-'Xcper shape to bo tntrcjdaood in the ex
fefBMhfi^ Attorney said that ho
!B?af?tffllfM^ wno had heard tho
Sa^jjS?*^'of il** partira implicated

trial, but it contd not bs legal evidence. The
commission tbon gave a dcolsioa discharging
the prisoner, on the ground'that, judicially
considered, Ibero - was not sufficient legal evf
ionce to hoKl lum,
The announcement was greeted with loud
cbecra, the applause apparently being given
by Pratt's friends, who accompanied ulm on
bia way out ot the building, obeering at short
intervals. Ic Waa reported that -Pratt imme?
dial ely started on his way to Canada, fearing

with elegance and grace.

To (Ae People cf South Carolina:
The above Company waa organ ead in 1866, in

success of the enterprise haa forced several of these
companies to restore their Bout 'ern policies, from

We keep all our money at home to build up our
Impoverished country-every dollar of premium

should sppeal with great force to the patriotism and

'Tis not our purpose to make war on other com?

by This purely Southern Company-founded on
patriotism and solid wealth. Ita ratio of as?ete to
liabilities- tb o true teat of a company's strength-la
second to none on this continent, being nearly $300
to $100.
Wbenever and wherever we have presented ths
claims of this Company,'it has not only enlisted the
sympathisa of our people, but baa alto secured their

in Routh Carolina since the 10lh of February. We
