The South Carolina. Deleg-ation Feeling* of the People of the State. A d?l?gation of South Carolinians, composed of Hon. B. F. Perry, re? cently appointed a provisional gov? ernor; Hon. Janies h. Orr. .C. J. El? ford, J. W. Grady, AV. Y. LPitch and Poster Bl<Klgett, arrived at Willard's yesterday. These gentlemen, includ? ing Governor Perry, wert! appointed by the people of Western and North? western South Carolina to e.nae. to Washing] on and a.-%t.he appointment of a provisional gbvemorf?r the State. On their \yay hither they received in formatiou of tho appointment ?if one of their number to that odie, , but con? cluded to continue ?heir journey for the purpose of eom-adtatiou with the President :is to the measures to be adopted in thc reconstruction of civil government at home. The mail faeili Lies, and even the asual^modes wf iff tersommunication, i-i South Carolina had bern so completely destroyed that several days had elapsed> after the Charleston delegation hud started rn Washington before that fact was known in thc V. e. tern and North-west? ern counties, comprising tho most' populous portion of the Slate-, and this Relegation was appointed for those comities in order that they might bc properly represented herc. They art-, however, much*,gratified ai the selec? tion ot Governor Perry, win? resides in ivis part of the State, and has al? ways been a consistent opponent of secession, having fought against it in the secession convention of 1831 ami 18?2, and itlso iii thc one Lei 1 in 1852, and repeatedly opposed i? in public speeches since. Thin delegation rep? resent the people of South Carolina b> be unanimous in then* acquiescence in the present order of affairs, and. not only satisfied with then* costly experi? ment of setting up a government for themselves outside of the Union, and convinced of their inability to. break up, the Union, but are willing and anxious to accept the ro-u*?t as au unavoidable conclusion, and deter? mined to do all in their power to be? come a useful member of the old United States! It .is their determina? tion toijpsc no time in repairing the damages that have accrued, and they expect to be the first of tjie rebel States to present their new constitution at Washington. One good result of the - necessity 'for a provisi? mal government is that it will ?i|iord an opportunity long desired in vain by a In rge majority of the people of tho State to amend their constitution and establish a fair -and equal and liberal basis of- repre? sentation in their Stall- government. Politically the people of South Caro? lina will be blessed by the reconstruc? tion, ridding them of an insufterable tyranny by which thwy have until now been hopelessly oppressed.-(for. Xeic York Herald. The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald writes as follows under date of the 2Lst instants ' Governor Perry l?ad, by appoint? ment, an interview with the President this evening, for a full intercbjpige oi views in regard to. the reconstruction of State government in Sont ii ( !nrolina, and other matters pertaining to his office. . , The publication of ( ?ovcriior-Porry'.? speoeh, of July. 3, has excited a storm of indignant opposition on the part di the more radical of tito supporters oi the Administration. The Goverooi has, however, had very satisfactory ino rvie,w -. with the Presidontand mosi - - J . 11 1 er of. the members of tho Cabinet. They ?expreas great confidence in the loyalty and patriotism of Governor Perry, and believe that he will administer the ^luties of his office with a loyal spirit, and vfith the siygle desire to restore as speedily as possible the blessing? of assured peace and constitutional loyal government to the people of that State. The explanations which Governor Perry has given of that speech, and the circumstances undfc which it wan delivered, have largely obviated the unfavorable impression which some passages in it arc unques? tionably calculated to convey. Governor Perry and the accompany? ing delegation will leave for ?South Carolina on Monday next. The Tribune, of the 22d instant, says: -We have heard it suggested that Go? vernor1 Perry's remarkable speech at i Greenville was prompted hy a spirit 1 of thorough loyalty-that lie only said I what he must say in sympathy with ! the lal? rebellion in order to gain the j attention and influence the course of his hearers. We suspect that there is much truth in this repr?sentation, but it only deepens our conviction that I South Carolina is not yet ripe for re? construction. . Charles J. Elford has boen appoint? ed Assessor of Internal Revenue for j the Third District ?f South Carolina. j STATIC COTTON RELEASED.-It ap ? pears that the State of North Carolina I bad several hundred bales of cotton at the close of the war. and at the sar ! ronde]1 of the Stub- by (.Icu. Joseph E. I Johnston as a portion of his depart I mont. Soon after the surrender this cotton j was taken in charge by the" agents o? ? the United States Treasury Depart ! ment, as it was alleged that the cotto] j had been purchased, to be used hy tin i Stato in payment for clothes. ms anc ' provisions for her soldiers. Larg? j numbers of bales we believe had boei ? shipped to New Yurie, and mossfil" I had beeil s.Md for the benefit ol ! United States. ! But when full and fair represent;. ibm was.made to the President of V:;. ! true financial condition of Nort h Caro \ lina, he ordered her cotton to be rc stored to lier, and thc proceeds of ni ?.that had been sold tobe paid io he j agents. . J? j Thus by thc hind interference of th \ President our State is again in posses j .sion of ample fund'; to begin her civ j government. The expenses of th Convention and the Legislature tim j must follow it, eau be paid wi thou inconvenience to any'one-:i:ni if i I should turn ont to be absolutely-neco j sary, it may be that enough of th i ! money eau be appropriated to pay-th present United States taxe.; on lands ! it will prove more economical to do s than to allow the citizens' lands toi i forced into market and sacrificed t i meet the demands of the tax gathe: I ors. - Raleigh Standard. I TnE SOUTHEHN PLANTEES' PLAN. T?he St. Louis Democrat'says: I A gentleman who lias been intimal with' Southern planters for thirl I years, gives us information of tl I course which some -of these cottc j growers have determined to pursue i j relation to the cultivation of the j lands. It is simply to let the lam j out to any one, blade or white, wi j may wish to engage in such emplo j ment, at a certain amount of the pr j duet per acrv,frr per bale, if the artic raised is cotton. ' One planter, at the mouin of R< Uiver, who has (i,(M)0 acres to Vent this way, proposes to retrain on fourth of a hale asa compensation f his laud, and for ginning the cotton , .small amount additional, which w bring the price up to about one-tlii '. of the crop-the same propovti as th;*t charged for all eon? lands other other sections of the count] ; This method has proved success! everywhere else, and there is no reas '' why cotton culture and the Southe part of the country should be an ?

An old gentleman, ros it ? not in the country, who, from the cireum stances, mast have anticipated ano prepared fora visit from robbers, hear? ing seine one on his premises at night, hailed three times, and receiving ho answer, fir<>d his gun with fatal e*Teet at the object of his "suspicions- and his fears.. Advancing to ascertain the effect of his shot, with indescribable anguish he discovered th? body of he; son in thc last agonies of death --a son who had long been "a prisoner at the Northland whose partial deafness pre? vented Iiis hearing his faLher's'eiial ?"a.;. . .:ee from Ie ?ie, he was tins strangely killed ; he stopped 'Upon '.ts threshold, by the hither whom he loved and longed to meit.
