Remorse* How I star:ed op in Lae night, in the night, Drawn on without rest or reprieval ! The st ref is. with their watchmen, were lost to my sight, As I w andere tl 80 light In the night, in the night, Through the gate with the arch mediaeval. The mUl-orook rushed through the rockj height, I leaned o'er the bridge in my yearning: Deep under me watched I the waves in their Hight. As they gilded so light In the night, in the night, Yet backward not one was returning. Cernead were revolving, so countless and bright, The stars In melodious existence; And with them the moon, more serenely be dight; They sparkled so light In the night, In the night, Through the magic), measureless distance. And upward I gazed, in the night, in the night, And again on the waves in their fleeting; Ah woe i thou has wasted thy days m delight, Now silence thoo light, la the night, in the night. Tt e Remorse in thy heart that ls beating. SEA ISLAND LANDS. ST. E El, EX A PARISH A Nif ITS | CITIZENS. ? Few Chapters from a Faithful Un. published History of the War of Se? cession. CHAPTER III. In 1865, soon after the war, as these poor refugees could assemble, many of them sent to Congress a Join t petition asking to be allowed to redeem their homes and lands by the pay? ment of the tax es Imposed by the act of 1862. It was impossible, they said, for them sooner to comply with a law of which they were not j and could not be presumed to have been in? formed, and which, bad they even known, they would have been restrained by the gov? ernment de facto under which they lived - -- from obeying; that many oi them at the ' breaking ont of the rebellion were aged _ and infirm-incapable of giving aid '.comfort to either side; others mere infants, whose rights came Into / existence ' even -. - after their- expulsion; while, again, others, now widows, were then married women, act? ing in subjection to their husbands-that if re? bellion was treason against the United States, forfeiture, the punishment, should follow, not precede, conviction, and for the life ot the of? fender only: That no one bad been arraigned,' but many whose lands had been wrested from them had since died, and their helpless chil? dren, in their lather's stead, now asked for the i restoration of their property. Not more guilty than the rest ot their fellow-citi? zens, they had nevertheless been more harshly punished. I believe that this was followed by another as numerously sumed, and by several from individuals acting separately. Rut Congress gave no heed to them. Ii those whose duty lt was to advocate them presented them, it was as much as was dene. They were hardly noticed in the jour? nals of the day. The supplicants bad no money.'-.' They were too poor to fee counsel, much less had they wherewith to tickle the itching palms of the Whlttemores of Congress. A scanty subsistence for each day as it came round was the extent-of their means. Long and anxiously they watched for some response - to their applications. lt never came. The spirit of New England, evef hostile to Sooth Carolina, wits dominant.' The blind fanatics, Stevens, Wilson and Sumner in Congress, and Seward,* 'a bloodiest of all monsters, Stanton, out bf Con ' gress, smothered their feeble appeals. In the | meantime, the tax commissioners In Beaufort. . followed their volition. How much they and ' the other vagrant intruders Into the parish had contributed, in material aid, to defeat these | ' . . 'petitions, no one will ever know. They ex? ulted in the failure : it gave them confidence lu -their power, and in the latter part of 1866 they exhibited their sense ot it, in a way offen . sive alike to justice and humanity. They offered . for Bale a certain residence, in the town of Bean Q fort, which before had been knocked off to the United States. The gentleman who had had a life estate in it, died, perhaps In 1864, by which event, In spite ol his treason, the title ' devolved upon his widow; but this ?vas.a mat? ter of no moment to them. It was known that I .. she ardently desired- to .repossess her own yd house-her old home-and was willing to pay the amount said to be due'on it. But tile favor ?j? -shown to others was denied to ber, and the sale was proceeded with. Two freedmen, by arrangement with certain interlopers, who de-1 sired to deleat her, ran the property tip to an 7 amount lax above the widow's, means. It was knocked off to her agent. Other per? sons had been permitted to purchase their houses for very little more than the amount of taxes, penalty and costs. They ? .preferred submitting to Dds Infamous fraud . rather than incur the expense of a law-suit. But. this widow lady belonged to a family s1 whose name was offensive to the government. They had done more, it was assumed, than . any other to bring about secession and rebel? lion, and the commissioners resolved to punish them through her. Unless the price bid for ber house was paid within ten days she was told lt would again be put np for sale. For j some reason not understood, lt was not again offered until some time In 1866, when she became the purchaser for " ^$00, about one-half of the former bld. onjeceiving' tili, ^ii!c5 ???fj T^i?y ?x?CtC?,1 . Into their oten hands, ihey permitted this lady ' to -take possession ot her own house. - Shame s on their manhood ! Shame on them "as the . .officials of a civilized government; and greater ?, - -'Shame on at least one of them, as a preacher ], ot -the religion of Christ, to oppress a poor widow for the error, if error it was, ot her dead husband, and those of his name ! Has this money, thus.wrung from the sorrows .' and most sacred feelings of woman's heart, been paid into the Treasury at Washing? ton ? God. have mercy upon a govern ment which can use wealth thus acquired ! "Hope deferred maketh the heart sick." The refugees grew tired of waiting amid the ruins ? of their former homes tor aid from Congress. They turned their eyes next to the courts of the country, and many cf them have sued for their lands. Great consternation and alarm have recently been occasioned by the result of one of these cases, and Messrs. Commission? ers thereupon, backed by those who hold their certificates ot sale, applied to Congress, at the last session, to save them by the passage of another law, more repulsive to every sense of justice and even decency -than anything wuivQ had been yet done. What 'amount of money was used ia - and ont of Congress to secure favor for this ll. measure, lt is difficult to. say, for politicians, now thal bribery ls so common, have very un? certain prices. But it ls not difficult to say by - whom lt was furnished One thing ls certain the poor plundered exiles of St. .Helena- bad . neither Influence nor money with which to se? cure a fair bearing, nor had they even notice ofthe intended application. Represented as tiie poor State now is, in both houses of Con? gress, by New England men. or men whose Sympathies are with New England or with Al? oa, most unavailing would have been their op Ksitlon, had they known it, to any application . the New Englandeis who bad fastened themselves upon the unfortunate parish, back ed by the deluded negro lazaron!, and still further backed by the commissioners, animat? ed by a sense of approaching trouble. A sweeping law was necessary, and the one walch passed the Semite was sufficiently so to sa tl sly the most inordinate. All that had been done by the commissioners was enacted to have been weU done. The act of 1862 ad? judged constitutional, certificates of sale de dared conclusive proof against the owners not only ot every thing stated in them, but of every thing else which might be required to make out that the unfortunate owners had been robbed ot their lauds according to law. Even the resurvey of the town, by order of the commissioners, and their most ingenious redivision of it luto blocks and capital letters, -were adopted, ?md some of the blocks, by their description, coolly set apart for some public purposes, perhaps educational. That clause of the cons! lt uti uu : "Nomau shall be deprived 'Of life, liberty or property, without due pro? cess of law, nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation," to? gether wWh a f'rtw of the Ten Vommandmmts, were thorcughly repealed and set aside. Ali of this was ai teinp?.ed to be done by two com? missioners, with large salaries anti pickings, and some thirty or forty Yankee carpet-bag? gers, many ot whom hail doubtless lett their country for their country's good, and a few idle negroes, profitless squatters, should be undisturbed. Their Immunity was of more consequence than thc Integrity of the consti? tution. B.v the previous act? of 1862, If lt can be made to opplv to St. Helena Parish, every loot ol land In Its limit* was forfeited to the United States, and ceased to be a part of the State. The proposed law was intended to remove all doubt. But was it ever in the power of Con? gress to dismember a State, even with the con? sent of Its Legislature ? "No new State Bhall be formed within the jurisdiction of any other State,""wIthout the consent of the Legisla? tures of the States concerned, as well as Con fress." If the act of 1862 is law, what ls St. olena Parish ? It is not a part of the State, for the title of all the lands within its precincts is held by and of the United States; and the t state"can have no jurisdiction within it. It is not of itself a State; it can then only be a part ot the "territory'' of the United States. But how acquired ? But If the State i never was out of the Union, as the Supreme Court of the United States have decided, she was always under the constitution as well foi" her protection as for her government. Any law, therefore, of Congress, ' transferring to the .United States, tor any purpose whatsoever, any part of the territory or soil of a State without her consent, must necessarily be against the constitution. The history of the past will show that this has always been the received law, for as far back as 1795 certainly, and from thence up to 1870. Whenever a few acres of land within the State were required bv the United States for the erection of a fort, lighthouse, a courthouse, or any other public purpose, though the owner had actually convey? ed by deed, lt was, nevertheless, always held that the consent of the State, through her Legis? lature, was especially necessary to give title for reasons too obvious to mention. Look at tne list of acts passed, from time to time, be? fore the adoption of the present constitution, "to permit the United States to purchase and hold lands within the limits of the State." By each all jurisdiction over the ceded land, not Inconsistent with the purposes of the grant, is reserved to the State. The sites for Forts Moul? trie, Sumter, Littleton, (St. Helena Parish,) for lighthouses, courthouses, jails and hospit? als, without number, were thus ceded to the United States by the State. On the 14th January, 1870, after the adoption of the present constitution, an act entitled "An act consent? ing to the sale of certain lands, (a house and lot in Charleston, for a courthouse,) to the United States, and ceding jurisdiction there? of," was approved. And on the 31st of the same month, an act to grant and give the con? sent of the Genera! Assembly, <fcc., to the con? veyance to the United States of a lot (in Co? lumbia; for a postoffice, ?c.. and to cede to the United States jurisdiction therein, was in like manner approved. A lot in Columbia ! the* scene of Sherman's brutality ! Did not the United States, by the enterprise ot this mod? ern Suwarrow, without Suwarrow's courage or truthfulness, acquire the whole of colum? bia ? Then were such acts as are above men? tioned nccessarv ? If they were, what ls thc title ol the United States to the lands in St. Helena Parish ? Now, a few words to the Hon. F. A. Sawyer, who claims to represent in the Senate ot the United States the interest of New England In the little province of South Carolina-a New England man, who, like many.' others, has been foisted upon the people of South Caroli? na by the bayonet and the relentless hatred of the Puritan. What other feelings" than those of Intense hatred to the old Inhabitants of St. Helena Parish, the generous and unsuspecting descendants of the cavaliers, the enemies of cant and hypocrisy, can he have ? What other feeling could have prompted him, when advocating the above most unjust and tyrannical act, to say " that the old inhabi? tants ot that parish wished their properly all sold." (ol course, by the commissioners.) "to make valid the titles -vof those who have squatted on their lands fl Does this assertion carry with lt the slightest semblance of truth ? Is It probable that the people who are describ? ed In the previous chapter. Irom intimate knowledge of them, have beeu so broken down by want and oppression as to be willing to abandon their homes and the homes of their ancestors; the tombs and sepulchres of those who have preceded them In life: the temples and altars at which they were accustomed to worship-places made sa? cred by a thousand recollections and memories-and for what ? That they may witness their pollution and desecration their possession by the off-scourlngs of the ??nitentiaries, prisons and factories ol New ngland ? My attention was first attracted to this remarkable speech of the senator, by a graceful and well written criticism, published in the Courier of the 16th ultimo,- signed -St. Helena." The writer's denial of Mn* Sawyer's statement, "that the old (that is the former inhabitants) wished their property all sold, <Jcc.," is given with great vigor and directness. I add mine to it. I know lt ls not so. What effect such a statement, made apparently by authority of and as coming from (bose who were to be affected by this most odious and disgraceful act, may 1- ~e had In getting It through the Senate, lt Is not difficult to conjec? ture; but lt was a falsehood, and as a friend of the poor attainted exiles (not one of them, however,) I now call upon Mr. Sawyer, stand? ing in the place as he does once occupied by Calhoun, Huger, Ha vue and others, the em? bodiment of truth, to say .which one. even one, of ihe old or former inhabitants of St. Helena Parish, ever said to him or in his hearing "that they wished their property soid." 1 ask him as . ? New England man. and a man of truth, to say who of all the New England squatters now infesting that un? fortunate parlrh authorized him to make such a statement, or. in short, whether any other person besides the two immaculate sala? ried commissioners-Brisbane and Wording ever made any such communication to him ? Did not Mr. Sawyer know at the time he was making this statement to the Senate that many of these poor attainted exiles had petitioned Congress, even through himself, to be placed on the eame footing \\ ith their leliow cltlzens and allowed to redeem their lands ? That many of them, despairing of aid from that incorruptible body, had actually com-. nienced their suits for the recovery of their land? in the courts for Beaufort County, which were therein then pending? Did j be not. also liDow that ia anticipation ol the result of those suits, and especially In . reference lo them. Hie Legislature ot the State, on the l?th January, 1870, passed a law ] entitled "Aa act to protect the right*of per? sons lau fully in possession of lands and tene? ments ?"" Who procured its passage ? How much the originator of this most ingenious Inw received for his bervlces, or how much was expended by Mr. Sawyer's New Fugland constituents of BL Helena Parish, iu procure its passage, it may not be necessary to Inquire. Certainly no great deal, for I believe, with Judge Carpenter, that the great majority of the Legislature, as now constituted, may be bought for a small sum. One thousand bollara, judi? ciously applied, would, I believe, secure votes enough to carry through both houses a bill of attainder for any crime you may imagine against the Governor himself, and in spite ol his veto, and posterity would approve the Judgment as infinitely more righteous that that which consigned poor Mrs. Surralt to a felon's grave. I am sure the present genera? tion would regard the Investment with great favor. But to return-with all these facts be? fore him. how could Mr. Sawyer have ventur? ed to make the statement he did while sup? porting this most unrighteous bill ? Was lt not In effect saying that the people, the com? munity, that had been so foully despoiled and robbed of their lands and goods, were wil? ling to sanction what had been done ? Could they be In favor of a bill which ignores Magna Charta and the constitution, and every other law intended to save the weak from tho op? pression of the strong-the subject from the tyrant ? How could Mr. Sawyer himself have forgotten his constitutional oath, (unless; in? deed, with him the will of the majority ls the constitution.) and vote tot a bill which delibe? rately proposes to transfer one man's property to another without his const-ut-to luke lrom the injured party all means ot redress against the wrong-doer, and from the tribunals of jus? tice questions which ought lo bo decided by them alone ? Congress, in its immeasurable powers, may perhaps claim to have Judicial potcers also. As nn humble citizen, I am not disposed to give my assent to any such assumption. But what have these people, au entire community, done that they should be pursued with so much vindic? tiveness? What other lnsiauce In modern history ca i be found to compare with lt for urocioiumesB ? Are the people of the United States aware of the position ot poverty and want into wheh this once opulent and thriv? ing people have been reduced, by no fault of iheir own ? Are they aware that the principal obstacle to the final restoration of their lands s the high salaries which the two officials, Brisbane and Wording, have been drawing for near eight years, to say nothing ol their perquisites t Shall this course of wrong and jppresslon be persisted in, and how long ?
