Dus AN? TIMELY NOTICE.-A letter
came to this post -office (says the Borne
(Ga.) Courier) for a young lady, ad?
dressed to the care of her father. 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: .

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she repealed tho Ordinance of 1788, seoec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.
