The young lady had not taken the "oath of allegiance," and still refused to do so, bnt her. father had, and demanded the letter, on the ground that it was addressed to his care. The postmos .ter declined delivering it, on the grounds that it would have been an evasion of .the ordere, and would not have been justifiable in doing so, ander all the existing circumstances. The point was made and referred to the General for his decision. The following is his reply: . HEADQ'BS DEP'T OP GEORGIA, Augusta, Sept. 13, 1865.

FELXOW-CITIEKNS: After much hesitation I have consonted to be put in nominatif for yonr Representativo in tho Congress o the United States. I publish this card, be cause thc District is so large and the tim? before the election so short that I coule not, if I desired, canvass the District. If i canvass were possible, howevor, I do no think it becoming or dosirable. In rn] judgment, thiB is no time for a scramble fo; office. It sooms to me that no one proper ly impressed with tho solemnity of tin crisis, and the delicacy and importance o thc duties to be discharged, could seek th position merely for the gratification of per sonal ambition. For myself, I declare tba I have no wish but to serve tho State. In 1788, South Carolina, through a con vention of her people, became one of th United States. She remained a member o the Union until December, I860, wher through another convention of her peoph she repealed tho Ordinance of 1788, seoec ed from thc United States,' and with cei tain other Histor States enterod into aaotht government known as thc Conf?d?ral Government. We believed that wo had t?. right to secede and that our eocurity ri quired its exercise in co-operation with or Southern sisters. South Carolina, in 185' proclaimed by solemn ordinance thc rigl of secession. It had long been thc settle opinion' of tho State that she was soveroig and entitled to all the rights of sovereignt; She asserted self-government in order t secure hor institutions and principles fro great evils, believed tcjpbo imminent. S cession was in the naturo of a proceedii ijuia timet. It was conceived in tho spirit Self-preservation-not lo injure others bu to save ourselves. It cannot be necessary to say that I am one of those who belier? that it was an honest effort for honorable purposes. The Uhited States Government denied the right of secession and wagoe war upon the Confederate States, whicl stood upon the defensive. A terrible wai of invasion and desolation followed, and finally the Confederate States were over? whelmed by force of numbers and dissolved. At tho ena of tho war the State of So?tb Carolina found thc Confederacy broken up, her citizens who survived the terribie ordeal exhausted and impoverished, bei institutions destroyed, and the whole coun? try occupied by the military forces of the United States. Under these painful cir? cumstances, the President of the United States invited the States lately composing the Confederacy to reorganize their gov? ernments and restore then* connection with the Constitution and Government of the United States, upon certain conditions, thc principal of which was an aequiesence in tho abolition of slavery, which had been accomplished by tho military authorities. The State, wisely in my jndgmont, respond? ed favorably to the invitation. It is true that the mere issue of battle does not prove right any more than did the oki "wager of battle;'' but it does prove power which can? not be disregarded. A Provisional Gover? nor was appointed, who called another con? vention <>f. the people, which ahas lately repealed the Ordinance of Secession, and by an article in the State Constitution, recognized tho abolition of slavery and pro? hibited its ro-catablishment. By repeal? ing that of Secession, tho Ordinance ol 1788, through winch South Carolina be? came a member of the Union, was ip*<? facto reviled, and we are this day in th? Union precisely as we became in 1788 and remained up to 1860. ' We are pow in a very anomalous ; <sition. Relying upon tho good faith and patriotic intentions of tho President of the United States, we have done all that was requiret! of us to restore our old relations to the Constitution "nd the Union; but st?l wt have not been received into fellowship al Washington. That important part of th? plan of reconstruction remains yet to b< accomplished. It is understood that t party will oppose the President's plan o: reorganizing tho States and giving to then equality of rights, and will insist upon stil farther despoiling and crushing the Static of thc South as conquorcd j/rorhices. Thii radical fanatical party opposed our leaving the Union, and now they oppose our return iug to it. When we were in the Union, the] abused us on account of slavery. The) waged war upon us because wc tried t< separate from them, and now that we pro pose to return without slavery, they stil ohjoct. In this emergency, the State needi the assistance of all her true men. Mud remains to b done, and not the least is t< secure a prudent, faithful and patriotic representation in Congress, to assist an? forward tho work of restoration which tin State has commenced. I arrogate not t< myself fitness to form part of such a rep . resentationj but friends have urged me for ward, and if you are w?ling to try me, will give my bent efforts. In some respects, we are at the begiunini of our policy, as if we were a now Stat ahotit to assume new relations with on sister States; hut wc must never allow our selves to forget that in other respects w ' are an old State-a Stato having antece dents-a name to maintain and a history t preserve. Whatever may betide us in th uncertain future, the past, at lease, is se cure. South Carolina has never swerve* from the path of honor, as she conceived it We haye a record of which non?! need b ashamed; and when any apostate son e hers disclaims or disparages it, niay sh cast him out as unworthy of her. Th . devotion of every true son of the Stat adheres in adversity as well as in pros perity--is loyal through evil an well a through good report; and in the midst c; the greatest misfortunes, "aticketh close than a brother." After the delegations from the Souther States shall have been received into Cor L.grcss, many delicate and imputant dui ie j will devolve upon them, especially in refei ence to the freedmen of the South, and th I control which Congress, or a party in Cor I gross, may desire still to exercise, ov?j i them. It may not be itopmper, in thi connection, to say that, whilst I have ap \ proved the course of tho Stato in soekin ? to restore her old relations with the Go ven I ment of the United States, it ba? been upc I the faith and expectation that the State, a ! soon as reconstructed, is io have entir control of the whole subject of her domei tic affairs. The State, and the State alon? must be left to decide to whom she wi give tho right of suffrage or other politiCi rights. A new code noir must be enaote to protect, and govern thopopulation late! made free-to prevent idleness, vagranc; pauperism and crime. I am not propiu enough to foresee whether we ..an succeei but I solemnly believe it will he impossib to live in the country at all unless tho Stat has exclusive control of tho whole subjec I have hope that this wUlbc permitted, ai I think it is in accordance with our int rests and tme policy to sustain the Pres dent and the Democratic party in the efforts to restore the Stab's to their pos tion of equality and to give them equ rights in thc Government. With these views, if the voters of tl District think that I can serv.; them or tl State in this critical emergency, 1 will i my best for them; but I have too high sense of my own incompetency and of t difficultros and responsibihties of the po tion, to solicit it by (t personal canvass.
