WAR INSURANCE CASS-THE "GHOB' CHA."-At the Ldverpool%*iSsizes the following case has been tried: Mr. Edward Bates, a well-known Liver gool merchant, _ sought 'to recover .ora an Underwriter at Lloyd's, named Hewitt, tho sam of ?6,000, the amount of a policy of insurance granted .by the latter upon the steamer Georgia, which, prior to tho effecting of the insurance, had been employed as a Confederate' cruiser. The vessel, after being so employed, was sent tp Liverpool, where she was dismantled and altered from a ship Of-war into a merchant vessel. She was then* bought by the plaintiff and chartered to the Portuguese Govern? ment for the conveyance of mails. Before making the purchase, ?the | plaintiff was informed that the vessel j could have a British register. She sailed in the beginning of August, 1 but after being out^a few days, she was captured off the coast of Portu? gal by the Federal steamer Niagara, which had been cruising about wait? ing for ber. The plaintiff denied that he was in any way concerned in the American war, and at the time of the capture the vessel was engaged in a peaceful and legitimate trade. Under these circumstances, the -\e ssl having been totally lost to tl?e own? ers, the present action was brought, the defendant refusing to pay the in? surance. He did so on the ground that he was not aware of thc incl that the vessel had been previously en? gaged as a Confederate war vessel, which be urged was a question most material to the insurance, for if he bad known that fact, he should not under any circumstances have incur? red the risk. For the plaintiffs it was shown that there was only one vessel called the Georgia, and her previous employment was a matter of general discussion, not only in the public journals but even in the House of ? Commons. Verdict for the plaintiff. They represent rain in a Paris theatre, by ranges of 1 r'ght metal wires, upon which electric light is flashed intermittently?

FELLOW-CITIZENS: After much hesitation, I have consented to be put in nomination for yonr Representative in the Congress of the United States. I publish this card, ber cause the District is so large and the time before the election so short that I could not, if I desired, canvass the District. If a canvass were possible, however, I do not think it becoming or desirable. In. my judgment, this is no time for a scramblo for office. It seems to me that no one proper? ly impressed with the solemnity of the crisis, and thc debcacy and importance of the duties to be discharged, could seek the position merely for the gratification of per? sonal ambition. For myself, I declare that I have no wish but to serve tho State. In 1788, South Carolina, tbrough a con? vention of hor people, bocame one of the United States. She remained a member of the Union until December, 1800, when, through another convention of her Bjfpple, she repealed the Ordinance of 1788, seced? ed from tho United States, and with cer? tain other sister States entered int o another government known as the Confederate Government. We believed that we had the right to .- !cede and that our security re? quired ita exercise ir co-operation with our Southern sisters. South Carolina, in 1852, proclaimed by solemn ordinance the right of secession, lt hadlong been tho settled opinion of the State that she was sovereign and entitled to all the rignts of sovereignty. She asserted self-government in ofdsr to secure her institutions and principles from great evils, believed to bc imminent. Se? cession was. in the na turo of a proceeding quia Hind. It was conceived in tho spirit of I self-preservation-not to injure other? but to save ourselves. It cannot be necessary I to say that I am.one of those who believe that it was an honest ?ffort for honorable purposes. The United States Government denied the right of secession and waged war upon the Confederate States, which stood upon the defensive. A terrible war of invasion and desolation followed, and finally the Confederate Btates were over? whelmed by force of numbers and dissolved. At the end of ?ho war tho State of South Carolina found thc Confederacy broken up, her citizens who survived the terrible ordeal exhausted and impoverished, her institutions destroyed? and the whole coun? try occupied by the military forces of- the United States. Under these painful cir? cumstances, tho President of the Unite! Stated invited the States lately composing the. Coufedcracy to re-organize their gov? ernments and restore their connection with thc Constitution and Government of the . United States, upon certain conditions, the principal of which was an acquiesenee in thc abolition of slavery, which bad been accompbshed by the military authorities. Thc State, wisely in my judgment, respond? e/I favorably to the invitation. It is true that the mere issue of battle does not prove right any more than did the old "wager of battle;" but it does prove power which can? not be disregarded.* A Provisional Gover? nor was appointed, who called another con? vention of- the people, which has lately repealed the Ordinance of Secession, anil by an ajrticle in the State Constitution, recognized the abolition of slavery and pro? hibited its re-establishment. By. repeal? ing that of Secession, the Ordinance of 17NS, through which South Carolina be? came a member of thc Union, was ipso, filch) revived, and wc are this day in the Union precisely as wo became in 17.S8 and remained up to lWit). We are now in a very anomalous position. Belying upon tlie good faith and patriotic intentions of the President of tlie United states, we have done all that was required of us to restore our old roiatious to the. Constitution and the Union; but still we. have not been received into fellowship at Washington. That important part of the plan of reconstruction remains yet to ls" accomplished, .lt is understood" that a party Will oppose the President'.? plan of reorganizing the Statesand giving to them equality of rights, an,; will insist upon still farther despoiling and crashing the Ni...' s of the South as conquered provinces, li,;* radical fanatical party opposed our leaving thc Union, and now they oppose our return? ing to it". Wlym we were in tho Union, they abused us on account of slavery. They waged war upon us because we tried to separate from them, and now that we pro? pose to return without slavery, they still object. In this emergency, the State needs the assistance of all her true men. Much remains to be done, and not the least is to secure a prudent, faithful and patriotic representation in Congress, to assist and forward the work of restoration which the State has commenced. I arrogate not to Ynyself fitness to form part of such a rep? resentation, but friends have urged me for? ward, and if you are willing to try me, I will gi\ e my best eiforts. In some respects, wo are at the beginning of our policy, as if we were, a nsw 'State about to assume new relations with our sister States; but we must never allow our? selves to forget that in other respects wo are an old State-a Statu having antece? dents-a name to maintain and a history to preserve. Whatever may betide us in thc uncertain future, the past, at least, js se? cure. South Carolina bas never swerved from the path of honor, as shs conceived it. We have a record of which none need ba ashamed; and when any apostate son mi hers disclaims er disparages it, may she cast him out as unworthy of her. The ' devotion of every true son of the State adheres in'adversity as well as in pros? perity-is loval through evil as well a? ! through good report; aud in the midst ot I the greatest misfortunes, "sticketh closer than a brother." After the delegations from the Southern htates shall have been received into Con? gress, many delicate and impoi tant duties will devolve upon them, especially in refer? ence to the freedmen of the South, and thc control which Congress, or ? partv in Con? gress, may desire still to exercise ovoi them. It may not be improper, in this connection, to say that, whilst I have ap ' proved the course of the State in seeking to restore her old relations with the Govern? ment of the United States, it has boen upon the faith and expectation thai the State, ai soon as reconstructed, is to have entire control of the whole subject of her domes? tic affairs. The State, and thc State alone, must be left to decide to whom she will give the right of suffrage or other political rights. A new code noir must be enactec to protect and govern the population latelj made free-to prevent idleness, vagrancy pauperism and crime. I am not prophet enough to foresee whether we can succeed but 1 solemnly believe it will be impossible to live in tho country a t all unless the Statt has exclusive control of the whole subject I have hope that this will be permitted, ant I think it is in accordance with our inte? rests and true policy to sustain the Prosi dent and thc Democratic party in thei; efforts to restore thc States to their posi rion of equality ai . ' to give them equa rights in the Government. . With these views, if tho voters of tin District think that J can serve them or tb .State in this critical emergency, I will d. 'my best for them; but I have too high ; sense of my Own incompetency and of th difficulties and responsibilities of the posi tion, to solicit it by a personal canvass. SAMUEL MCGKW?JO?. Asr.Evm.EC.
