VOLUME XI.-NUMBER 1671. CHARLESTON, WEDNESDAY" MORNING, MAY 3, 1871. EIGHT DOLLARS A YEAR. REV. WM. WAITH HICKS. MIS REFIT TO CHARGES AGAINST MIS CHARACTER. [ ttl vert I ta me nt. ; " MACON,-GA., May 29,18711. To General D. H. Hill, Editor Southern ' Some, Charlotte, 2V. C. : Ia your issue or ta? 23d inst., the fol low i og editorial note appeared: Rsv. W. W. HICKS..-Tills brilliant orator is lecturing over the south oh the Ute audcharacter of General Lee. He is a Northern man, who came Soath in isci, professe!! ultra Southernism, started the XlXth Century as a Conservative magazine, then opposed the Reform movement io South Carolina, aud favored the. re-election of R. K. Scott. The Pittsburg Commercial (Radical) and the Bellefocte Watchman warn the South ern people against U m. The former says: "The bones of the"dead chieftain might well stir in their grave at tb? eulogy of this hideous hypocrite." Tbe-latter says: "Ile ia not worthy to speak the great chieftain's, name, and contd the latter bm rise irena his grave, the vilain would be blighted by a look." The Yankee scalawag is about "as mangy as the Southern. ' It will, of course, go the rounds, and to the extent of such stun" will Injure my character, (w?^re i am not known,) and cripple my use? fulness- in the country of my adoption. How mush truth it contains, the statement I now proceed, reluctantly, to make public will show : * 1. I was born almost under the shadow ot Caerphilly Castle, in Trates, lh*l6S9, (I think.) ram not, therefore, a Northern man, a Yankee or a Southerner. 2. I was brought to America by my parents in 1848, and my father settled In Central Penn-, sylvania, i. " ** . . 3. I entered the ministry ol the M. ?. Church, in 1857, East Baltimore Conference, and was assigned to a circuit in Harford County, Mary? land, where I am weil known. .... 4. Up to 18C1,1 lived and labored in Mary? land, near the City of Baltimore. . 5. When the war began'Qbetween the States, I was. opposed to-the d oct ii ne of secession as fir as I understood it. and I believed that the happiness and prosperity of the country de? pended on the perpetuity of the Union. I never .was an Abolitionist. 6. I was educated in the strictest scbool'of Radicalism at home with great care and en? thusiasm, and knew nothing of the South or *its institutions from a Southern sianding prtaL . - - 'Ti After the battle of Bull Run (being und? appointment) I set sall for India (August is, 1861.) as a missionary, under the direction ot ihe M. E. Church. . 8. In February, 1SC3, my health had become, as was feared, hopelessly impaired, and we were hurried, to sea and to England, with the hope of saving my life. 9:Tn September, of the same year, we ar? i rived at New York, utterly broken in -health and with little hope for the luture. J 10. During the winter bi' 1863, my health ral-] lied, and in the soring of 1864 I resumed . my. - ministerial labors. The Town of Bellefbnle, Pennsylvania, was considered eligible on ac-.j Sun), of i I s healthfulness anti the ? ncoustder- i le duties of the station, also on ?ccodm of the proverbial kindness and appr?ciative s vin- * pathlee of the people. I served the Methodist Church at Bellefonte for one year, near the close of which time severe domestic afflictions visited us, and necessitated our removal to a milder climate at tue earliest practicable mo- ! ment. I I am well known in Bellefonte; as to whitier that knowledge ls favorable or no, a letter : from you, addressed lo any respectable citizen, ' will bring you a true answer. If you are In i the least curious, any of the below named ! gentlemen will, I am sure, satisfy YOU, viz : I [is Honor Judge Linn; Messrs. McAllister; : Yocum, Fursb, prominent meinbers ol the bar; i Dr. Green, H. M. McClure, Esq., or George ' Tate, Esq.; Messrs. McClellan, Burnside, Wag? ner, prominent merchants.. i Politically, I was known there, as elsewhere, I j as a Republioao. I was brought up so, and had j < found no cause for a change of views. I i There was a paper published there, called 1 the Watchman (the same, I presume, from i -'Which you quote.) It waa a very obscene I ' sheet, and of no political or Intellectual signlfl-11 canee. I I never met its editor, that I remember, In l all my life. He did not move in respectable 11 society ou account of the character ot his pa-11 Eft, and, perhaps,, for other valid reasons, f I is paper was a sort ol police gazette, an to l i the substance o fi ts columns, without the Illus- j I traitons. I remember '.Rat the editor seemed ( to delight in abusing everybody who would ( not speak to him, or who was not of bis way ot 11 thinking, and I believe I v^as the objective t point of much of bis wrath. -J I 1 his poor creature's name wa9 AfeeA:, for 11 whom I had a sincere pity, for ? was informed | f he was respectably connected by marriage I ' and other ties. 1i I have gone th irs into detail tp give von an 11 idea ot the? source of your recent editorial in- 11 spjration, and not from a desire to defend my-11 self or indulge In Reminiscence. 11 11. la 1865 I was appointed to take charge 1i of the M. fi. Church In Frederick City, Md. Here my slay was briet for several reasons. < My wile's health (also wrecked lc india) grew J alarmingly worse, and our physicians urged 11 eur immediate removal to the home of our I ? childhood, with the hope that Hie presence of < friends, congenial climate, ?C., ?c.. would I conduce to her recovery. The change was j made accordingly, and we removed to Brook- t lyn. New York. I { 12. While we were in Frederick City, Mr. Lin- I a coln was assassinated. There was intense ex- t ci te me nt, aud I was requested U> deliver an j l address touching the melancholy event. I I did so. I believed in Lincoln. 1 saw no hope I ? from his death. I blamed the South largely I for that calamity, (wrongfully as I now believe,). j and eulogized the ''Martyred President." The address was published. There are many ul- 'v terances in that address that appear unwise a und absurd to me now.- Whatever was said of G Lincoln-as oman,-.! think can safely aland. <S In Other respects, and so far as the address is unjust to the South, I have long since ignored c and repudiated it, and my conduct as a man I ? and a Christian minister will not, 1 humbly > believe, give color and Justice to your terrible r charge of "hideous hypocrite" or "villain.'* ? It so, then, all honest, progressive men are hypocrites and villains, since few men worth a knowing have not had occasion to repudiate j long cherished views and adopt juster and i nobler ones. 13. On leaving Frederick City for Brooklyn, ? I lelt the M. E- Church. There was no differ- c ence between t he author ?ties nod me. It was j 1 simply this : I must cease preaching or give t up the itinerancy. I chose the latter alterna- j s Uve. and proceeded, with the confidence and ? good will of all my brethren, m supply the pul- r pit of "State street Congregational Church," J Brooklyn. I continued to do so for eighteen s slfODthr, to the Christian satisfaction of the a congregation-having declined to become the j C settled pastor after repeated solicitation. 14. A neut this time I rtceived a call to "The r Lee avenue Reformed Dutch Church"-a j i prominent church in Brooklyn-to become its ( Bettled pastor. I accepted, and was installed j a in September. 18G7. , (You affirm that I came Sonto in 1865.) i 15. During- all these changes, rendered c necessary for sacred domestic reasous, ray I ? shattered physical constitution only slowly re- 1 assertedltself, and with many relapses. After j f a year'6 labor at Lee Avenue, my health again j s failed, and fears were entertained by my t friends of a speedy fatal issue. My congrega- } tion generously sent me South as . far as j * Charleston in quest of health. I reached that j c city during April, 1866, and Boon began to ; ' rally under genial climatic influences. While at Charleston I was invited to deliver " an address at the opening of "Avery Inst!- j 1 tute," which invitation I accepted, and the ad- j c dreB?was delivered "on the 7:h of May, In IJ presence of a large audience cl colored peo- ' pie and a number of influential citizens. This I { address commended itself to the people and I j toe better class of the newly enfranchised, i but gave offence to a number ol* Radicals who i were present. Amone them I may mention t R. K. Scott, just then "elected Governor, and ? Colonel Willard, now on the bench. Among I those who were particularly pleased were J Hon. George S. Bryan-the dignified judge, J the polished scholar and the modest gentleman * -the editors of THE NEWS and the Courier. I ? THK NEWS published the address verbatim, ( headed as follows: "Education and the Ballot-Address delivered ; atthe dedication of the Avery Instttnte, Thursday, 1 May 7th, 1868. by the Rev. Dr. Hicks, or Brooklyn, i Saw York." t ? judged that the editors were pleased willi 4 the address, because they said so, and because j : it supplied them with texts for editorials moos for some time after. That is the only political address - deliver by me in tbe South, and the' third of my life. Ita views' were weil discussed North ai South, and, In the main, well received;'an while it indicated and declared a better Ano ledge of Southern politics than I had previoi ly poseessed, and a corresponding change view and sentiment, I was nowhere, as far-ai know, branded a ..villain" or a "hideous n*yf crite," because I confessed my better kno ledge and advocated an ant ?-Radical view. The following notice, which appeared In then current number pf the Christian Intel gencer, perhaps the most dignified religio journal in New York, certainly one of the've beet, will give you an idea of the. esteem wlilch both the speaker and bis' speech we held where he wa? intimately known: EDCCATION AND TH? BALLOT.-Rev. Vf. T Hick*, or the Lee Avenue Reformed Cb uro Brooklyn, B. D.. 4s now in Charleston, s. < warmer he went a few weess ago.

How far that 'address* will warrant yoi charge, that on coming. South I ''pro/esst ultra Southernisms you are honorable enoug to _ake known to your readers, I am sop alter you shall have acquainted yourself wit Its "professions." I think It ls due to mu and to my character which you assail, and I the whole Southern people who are "warne against me" in your paper, that ydu justii your words or retract them. 16. After an absence ol two months and th partial restoration ot health. I returned to ni family and people in Brooklyn, and at one resumed my ministerial duties.. In a pnbii address at a meeting of welcome, I distlBcll declared to my peopIe""tbe change which ha been wrought in my political convictions I important directions upon a personal acqualnl ance with the Southern people, and announce to them my determination to devote my enei gies towards a genuine , reconstruction o: Christian grounde, and not by the bitter, bim y iation demanded by the partisan and vlndlcttv government directory at Washington. Thi sentiment was received with applause, an that large and influential congregation joinei hands with me in sentiment and labor.* The; did pot think me a 1 hypocrite." They knev me wei!, and trusted me -wita the characters tic confidence ol true men. My clian?e o view aud of front met with some uncourtepu animadversion in the Tribune; but even Uteri I was-not considered a .'hypocrite" aud i "villain." 17. 'In a short time, on account cf ju tte physical prostration, I was compelled to re slgu the pulpit of Lee Avenue Church, and retired from the active work of the ministry as I believed, 'britte*. This* was 1n Septemtor 1868. W ' . Ji 18. Friends in Charleston, S. C., now insisja upon another trial pf Southern climate?.and ic December, 186S, I set forth for Charleston t second time, a wreck in body and mind There was no plan for ibo rature. I did noi come to plunder or kill, or to lament discord, or to deceive aoybody. I did not come "pro fessing" Lutheranism, ultra or diluted. I wat not .considered a "scalawag" in Ute North) noi JKI I assume the hypocritical role of "Toady ism'' towards the South. I had no Introduc? tions nor enaorsemeote, and never expected to be called upon lor ol', -"pedigree." . I came, a broken-down brother,* with leelings ol ira ternity, good-will and confidence towards yo? all; and charity, warm, heavenlyv tendei Southern charity In hearts and hands hursacl me back to life, to health, and to the pulpit my place and work. That's the whole, clear, simple story of my coming South, with ail its "professions" ami objects. ID. The proposition was made to me lo re? main So tun and become a citizen. The pro> [>ect was pleasant. The surroundings were congenial. Young, ardent, an ..having,, with restored health, many years tv. live, the field was inviting. The naturalization of the hean ?nade the outward decision an easy matter l tie fact that I came from the North was not thought to mar my usefulness or render my ile unhappy In the South. The fact thia: I had leen reared a Republican Radical in politics, mu had greatly modified the results of - oarly raining, was not considered au evidence ot ?ypocrisy -or v?lany. There was no conceal? ment and no compromise. It was not stipu ated that I should hold myself ready to veer, mange about and stultify myself to accotnmo late any genius ol political "reform" that night arise in South Caroiina or elsewhere ?peaking lo the venerable "body politic" lu ;he voice of Jacob, but offering food and pro? jection, with Esau's hands ! Nothing of the lort, I assure you. When I learned that T had pronged the spirit of the South, and uttered vords of honest regret therefor, and offered ny hand in token of brotherhood and union, here was no hypocritical reservation on my jar!, and I am true to the lull extent of the' ?ond, and I shall slick to it in spite of your varnings ot the people to oe ware of me. 20. At this juncture (lhere being nu church >f my denomination in Charleston) thu Rev. Dr. Buchman, greatly enfeebled with age, troposed that I should occifpy bis pulpit once i week tor six months. 1 accepted, and ?vent nally became assistant pastor io due orm. 21. In the meantime, Mr. F. G. DeFon aine, a literary gentleman of versatile and .enlal talents, proposed to establish a literary ind semi-political magazine, and Invited me o join his hand, and assume editorial con rol. I u<:reed to do so. The XfXih Century 'iibliybiug Company was formed, and "The tlXlh Century" duly appeared in June. 1869. was its editor from the first number, and olut proprietor witli Mr. DeFontaine. I remained its responsible editor throughout ts whole'career, except Its last issue, when it .ppeareri and expired under the proprletor ibip and editorial responsibility of "Livingston i: Brokmann." * " In the editorial managemeul I had the conti lenee und co-operation of the late princes in Southern literature- Judne Longstreet and VniwGilraore Simms; of ex-Governor B. F. Per .y, and many of the best living writers in the south. The XlXth Century was SouUtern in politics, nd not "Conservative," as you charge, and ' received a letter from you, (D. H. Bili.) com nendina and endorsing it, dte. The.XIXth Century never advocated the 'lection ol' R. K. Scott for any position, and lid not "favor" his "re-election," as you bold y affirm.. On the contrary, the XlXth Oen ury advocated and recognized but one resffou ible citizenship, which ft lodged in the while nan, and urged upon him his duties, opportu? nlies and obligations towards the' dependent, ret dominant, unthinking, Ill-advised element, uddenly raised to the rights of citizeaship by trbitrary power, without preparation for, or a louception of, its grave responsibilities. It opposed fhe so-called "Reform movc neni" in South Carolina^ and repudiated il Tor vhat it was, viz : A compromise of principle which is eternal,) tor the hope of temporary ind questionable gains. These are the words written In the August lUIBber, 1870, by the editor: "The platform if the 'Reformers' is, to say me least, a curi? es mosaic io emanate from men whose lel ow-citizen!-, if not themselves, fought to de ?at it. We say fought to defeat it. The thou ands ot unmarked gruves, from Gettysburg lo he extreme Southern border, "are Instinct vith crying reproaches. A monument of infa ny to the 'dead ?s being reared bu their tate .omradts in arms, when they go before the ?KO de of the South advocating the new consum? ion with its various grants and amendments. * * ? * lo accept and advocate hem is a shameful abandonment cf our r*rin dples and those ol oar fathers, and an ac tnowledgement that the cause which was lost' met its just late. We affirm, without ear of contradiction, that the 'Reform party,' n its published platform, means all lhiR. or'it s insincere, unprincipled and rotten." And nuch more of thp same sert and nothing con rary thereto. Nobody was found to contra Hct its statements, and the Charleston Cour er came forth with a slanderous editorial ipon the.editor ol the XIX Century, declaring ust what yen liave affirmed, only in stronger , erras, for which libel and because ol which aits are now pending in the courts involving ilaims of damages in thirty thousarid dollars. 23. The libellous article in the Courier > ixcited the public mind against the editor of heXIXth Century, and he realized at! the ; die abuse usually current in 3uch interesting ; ivents. His personal friends-those who ' :new him-stood last and firm, and they were ndeed true Southerners. Not a single South- ; ern newspaper in South Carolina uttered a word in my defence, and so the "Reformers" had it all their own way, stumptngtbe State in the company of voluble .'reformed" ne? groes and a lew "converted" Radicals of ques? tionable repute wherever they were known at all. ?> There was a sight lor von, gallant General Hill! An up-country gentleman and brave gen eral; a nobie specimen o? a Southern pal riot, (I need not name ulm,) was everywhere;pre sent with a far different specimen, whose highest claim was an "endorsement of the . of Charleston," and with a number of wonder? ful specimens ol negro equality without ability to write a word or think a sensible thought who, yet. were bent, with fervent patrioti upon "redeeming" the State. And when election came how was it ? Perhaps. I ought to let? .the memory of nondescript thing die. But as ia in on trial me vindicate my disgust. The "ticket" had few good names on it, names of gentlemen and good citizens, whose .only disgrace blunder may be said to be just that-but there were negroes thickly sandwiched down long array of aspiring reformers. Low-down, unworthy hangers on ol the ferior race stood out in bright particular lief in strange alliance on that. "Reform" tick et. The comeliness was not enhanced by th spots. "Black, but comely," cannot h? cepted as characteristic ol that grand arras compromises. The "ticket" wa? beaten over thirty thousand majority! A white man (I mean no lil to the negroes) ticket, sound principles', clearly announced and vig? orously advocated, could not have met such defeat. For opposing such a compromise and ama! gamatlon, which oo ethnological grounds alone could only fall, the editor of "the.XlXth Century was mercilessly abused in Charleston South Carolina, and was forced to find free dom from Insult and unpleasant circuinstanc in another Slate. I have never complain? and iny pen should be-far otherwise employed now, bivt for your signal fdr a change along the Whole line. Am I never to have lair play Must Inconstantly hold myself ready, tance- In hand, fot the mean and unchlvalrous -on slaughls of those to better Instincts born ? , But ta proceed. Trie matter was Injected into my church relations, and the excitement became so-great as to lead to my resignation as assistant pastor, which was accepted by votes, bein? ilegal majority of 6 only / Thus, all the ties which had so.closely bound me to Charleston (except dear personal ooes were rudely snapped asunder, because would not yield to a dictatorial spirit of com promise with political principles which I had learned to discard and throw ort, and whicb more than all beside, must be held responsi bte for the* desolation and min ol' ibis h? country I * * So. much for your rash charge concerning my "favoring Scott." 24. lu-December last. I visited Georgia, ead the session of the South Georgia Annual Can terence of the M. E. Churcli, South, with the Rev. J. Poisal, D. D., of Baltimore, who In trodncea me InU) the ministry. I came with fear as to how I might be received, and ife malned with confidence. I sought no favors and I lound the greatest favor-that of Christian brotherhood and friendship. I did not. seek to insinuate myself by J afr speech Twas-taken as I stood, and to stand-or tal by manliness or the lack ot- it. I am now member oftbat body, a Methodist preacher, and I trust, a Christian mon, and tim ready f? be tried and Judged by my words and work, and wll)?ablde the Issue. You and all others ure invited to trie trial. But I must close. I have pointed out the errors in po litlcal Judgment which I blame -myself for having committed: I was honest then - und am honest how. He ls a pigmy who does not grow. He is not au honest man who with nolds his "better convictions;, and" be isa miir derer who cries "hypocrite, villain," and thus seeks to asperse him who, In God's fear and Ln conscious integrity, seeks to conform bls conduct to the principles of Justice and hu inanity in the advancing lightof muli. 2 j. I am not .the eulogist of General Lee. knew him not. I have ?veo, in a briel lecture at the instance ol' friend-, my conception ot, his character. An enemy could not be Justly accused.of hypocrisy .?ui honorably remera bering his'?oe. Bm I have ucl touched wlih rude hands the name and lame ol' your great capialu. I have tried to awaken me spirit of emulation in the hearts ot men under the shadow of so great and so manly an exam ale I cast my fadlni. flower upon his grave wiin a sincere admiration and-awe; and If I have ever wronged him in thought, or deed, or prejudice he, who so grandly conquered himself and died in peace with God ?iud all mankind, will not "stir in his grave nt the eulogy of this hideous nypocrite,"'(as you approvingly quote from an unknown Pittsburg parter,) but his spirit will approve, and his brave, honorable right hand will grasp a brother's in the unity ot a good purpose aud nuder the added smile of Heaven. 2G. I have thus.gone at great length Into this matter once for all. ll I am worthy ol' so much bitler abuse, I am worthy of having the truth known and told concerning me. I have seen myself done np in such hideous forms for the past year or two; and so many Inquiries (with their answers) have been set up as lo my origin, purposes. &c, ?fcc, mid so many terrible revelations have threatened thvir appearance, that I have been sometimes led to question my identity, and to wonder "if li's me, myself." I few J shall not increase my reputation for modesty by the publication ol this letter; but let,every man Judge ol the provocation, and put himself in my place. I desire to live peaceably and purposely here, in Georgia arid in (he communion of the influen? tial Christian body to which I belong. In order to do so, I must have the respecto! my Southern fellow-citizens, ami not their suspicions. I am ready lo answer to 'any :harge before the bar of public opinion, at any point, and without delay. I ara not a nalur llized citizen of the United States, and can ?lalra none ol' the . Fourth of July rights, im? munities, ftc., ?kc.; of which Americans are sometimes boastful. Btu 1 make bold to ask Tor a fair field and fair play, and Hie privilege of stunning for rayselt and on my personal merits, whatever they may be, and may a Just God deal with those who deny this humau right as leni?ntly fis the case will admit of. 27. I beg to thank the editorof the Savannah Morning News for his kind and manly defence of my character and the lecture on General Lee. I do not know thee, broiher, b at here's my hand. 28. I have told you what I know of myself, (since my history seems called for, ) from my earliest knowledge. I have tried to declare to you what I am. As to the future, why-let as strike hands for present duty, and the fu? ture will deal equitably with ns ail. Respectfully, WM. WATKIN HICKS. A GALA HAT IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. CONCORD, June 14.

The Times says t?nt in the Treaty of Wash lpgton, lt was not England alone who yielded some of her claims. The United States, also, made great concessions. The Times considers ? it unprecedented that such a grave difference between nations as the Alabama claims should have been settled wWionr a resort to arms.
