Thin distinguished Tennessean, at the meeting held in NasT?vilk on the 23d ult., was called upon, for a speech. The Nashville Gazette gives the fol- : lowing report: . '..''*" * Neil S. Brown having been called ? for, he took the stand, and saul tluit j he felt some delicacy in taking a pro- ? minent part in the proceedings of the meeting. The resolutions met bis ! hearty concurrence, and he intended to give President Johnson his hearty support. Let thc past pass away; to history it belonged, and td* history he efommencked it. If he could show that the South was right and the North wrong, or vice versa, what effect would it have? It would not .bring to life the thousands of brave men who had died in maintaining their opinions, nor*soothe the sorrows ?of the widows and orphans. Our duty now is to set to work and?epaij, as far .as possible, the damage sus? tained, and to kindle in the minds of the people a patriotic feeling. Many had lost -wealth, but what of that? The conflict, over which all mourn, is ended, and he has yet to see the man engaged in the rebellion whp is not heartily in favor of harmony and good-will There may be, and doubt? less are, dissa^isfie/l perse-Us, but their occupation is gone. The Gov eminent of the United States musf i be sustained, ardently and honestly, j and he rejoiced that President John son promises to pursue a policy so ?Irise, broad and patriotic. '.'Let us not desptvi . We may meet hard cases, but let the machine run on. We already begin to see the ligl?of day breaking around us, and all will soon be at peace. The President has issued* his amnesty proclamation, and is granting pardons tt) those accepted. Let each of us puss an act of amnesty and forgive all who have injured us. livery man who has a soul big enough to be saved should forgive and b>i for? given. . -? -! DESPOLIATION IN THE SOLTH.-A let? ter from Columbia^ Chicot County, Arkansas, mentions the fact of a gentleman's riding fifty miles through the adjoining section of Louisiana and not seeing a house standing, nor be? ing abj? to get corn to feed lis horse withj The Washington correspon? dent of the New York ' Herald says : In the resumption of mail service in the South* continued evidence of the despoliation of the land is brought out. An employee of the Post Office Department, now superintending mail matters in Arkansas, writes that 'on the mail rpute from Fort Smith, in that State, to Caswell, in Missouri, there is not a house nor habitation where a mail carrier cfc uki refresh himself or beast, in a distance of nearly "two hundred miles. Prom Fayetteville to Caswell, by the old mail road, the distance is seventy-five miles', and there is not a lioase or garden fence left standing, nor a field under cultivation. We have been shown a very inter? esting statement concerning the ma? nufacture of flour and meal in the Southern States, in 18(i0. The state? ments represents that there were 3, SOC establishments, employing 5,943 male, ami 21 female hands; capital in? vested, $14,059,911, cost of grain used, $32,083,045; cost of labor, $1,454,736; yielding in .the year end ' ing June 1, 1860, $37,996,470. New Orleans papers announce that Hon. Pierre Soule is soon eipe?ted to arriva in that city and make it his permanent home, .?oBLOE AND GENEROUS.-A short time ago, an elderly man named Blackman, in the (; employ of A. T. Stewart & Co., of New Yor^t, was knocked down and robbed ol sixty dollars. The thief, Brady, waa ar? rested and sent to Sing Sing. 'Since, Stewart has prosecuted Blackman for embezzlement. The pooi^old man holds that ho w^is not to "Mame for being robbed; that as lie liasifao work he cannot refund the money, and says ho is willing to labor'for the firm, if t?iey will pay his board, u?til?*the money is e 'ed.

TILLMAN, Esq., respectfully announce him a ?andida te for CONGRESS, at tho ensuing election, in the Third District, eiabraeing Orangeburg, Edgefield, Lexington, Abbeville, Newberry, Richland and Fairliuld. Sept 28 * . To tb? Voters of Oramgeburg, Edgt ileld. Abbeville, Newberry, Lexing? ton, ltSclil?.nd and Fairfield, FEI.I.OW-OIT?ZEXS: After much hesitation, 1 have consented to bet-put in nomination for your Representative in the Congress of the United States. I publish this card, be? cause the District is so largs and the time* before the ?lection 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. La my judgment, this is no time for ft scramble for office. It seems to me that no one proper? ly impressed with the solemnity of the crisis, and the delicacy and importance of the duties to be discharged, could seek the position mendy for the gratification of par-i sonal ambition. For myself, I declare that ! I have no Trish but to serve the State. In 1788, South Carolina, through a con ! vention of her people, became one of the United States. She remained a member of thc Union until December, lsf??, when, through another convention of her people, she repealed the Ordinance of 1788, seced? ed from the United States, and With cer? tain other sister Siat^oenlared into another government known' as the Confederate Government. We believed that we had the fight to secede and that our security re? quired its exercise in co-operation with our So.uthe.in sisters. South Carolina, in 1852, proclaimed by solemn ordinance the ri^ht of secession. It had long been the settled opinion of the Stale that she was sovereign and entitled to all the rights of sovereignty. She asserted self-government in order to secure ber institutions and principles from great evils, bolieved to be imminent. Se? cession was in the nature of a proceeding quia ?met. lt was conseivod in kl:? spirit o1 self-preservation-pot to injure otherc> out to save ourselves. It cannot be necessary to say that I am one. of those who believe that it was an honest effort for honorable purposes. The United States Government denied the right of secession and waged wai"*pon the Confederate States, winch s toed upon thc defensive. A terrible war I of^Wvasion and desolation followed, " and j finally the Confederate states* were over ' whelmed by force of munbura and dissolved. At the end* of'the war the State of South Carolina found :h(- Confederacy broken up, her citizens who survived .the terribie ordeal exhausted and impoverished, her institutions destroyed, and the whole coun? try occupied by the military forces of the United States. Under these painful cu cumst&nccs, rhe President <>f the United States invited thc States lately comp ?mg the Confederacy t;i re-organize th> ir gov? ernments and restore their couuectiou with the Constitution and IWVOHIIIIOI? of the : United States, npon cern du conditions, the principal of winch ?vas au acquiosence in the abolition of slavery, which had been accomplished by thc military authorities. The State, wisely injuy judgment, respond? ed favorably to th (^invitation. It is true that the mere issqtx of battle does not prove right any more than did the old "wager of hattie;"' but it docs prove power which can? not be disregarded. "?L Provisional Gover? nor was appointed, who called another con? vention of* the people, which has lately repealed the Ordinance of Secession, and by art article in the State Constitution, recognized"the abolition of slavery and pro? hibited its re-establishment. By repeal? ing that of Secession, the Ordinance of 17K8, through which South Carolina be? came a member of thc Union, was ipso facto revived, and wc are this day in the Union precisely as we became in 178^ and remained up to 18$0. We art' now in a vary anomalous position. Relying upon the good faith and.jpatriotic intentions of thi President ot fnc United States, we have (Jone all that was required of us to restore our old relations to the Constitution and the." Union; hut still wc have not been received into fellowship at Washington. That important part of the .plan of reconstruction remains yet to.be accomplished. It -is understood that a party will oppose i'f}\ President's plan of reorganizing the Statesand giving to them equality of rights, and will insist upon still farther despoiling and trashing the Stetes of the South as conquered provincos. This radical fanatical puirty opposed our leavuig the Union, and now they oppose oui return? ing to it. VVhehwcwcrc in the Union, they abused us -on account of slavery. They waged -^ar" upon ns beean se wo tried tc separate from them, und now that, wc pro? pose to return without slavery, they still object. In this emergency, the State needs the assistance of all ber true men. Much remains to be done,1 and not thc least is tr secure a prudent, faithful and patriotic representation^ in Congress, to assist and forward the work of restoration which th? State has commenced. 1 arrogate not tt myself lit ness to form part of such a rep rcscntation, but friends have urged m*> for? ward, and if you are willing to try me, 1 will give my best efforts. In som'' respects, we are at the beginning of our policy, as if vi? were a new Statt about to assume new relations with oui sister States; bm wc must never allow our selvfcs to forget thin in other respects wi are an old State -a State having antece dent?-a name to maintain and a history t? preserve. Whatever may betide us in th uncertain future, the past, at least, is se cure. South Carolina has never swerve? i from the path Of honor, as she conceived it We ?have a record of whick none need bi ashamed; and when any Apostate sou e hera disclaims mr disparages it, may sh cast him out as unworthy of her. Th devotion of every true son of thc Stat adheres in adversity as well as in proe pcrity-is loyal through evil as well a through good report; and in tho midst o the greatest misfortunes, "sticketh close than a brother." After the delegations from the Souther; States shall have been received into Con gjreserniany delicate and impoitant dutic will devolve upon them, especially in refoi once to the freedmen of the South, and th control which Congress, or a party in Cor gress, may desire still to exercise ove them. It* may not be . improper, in thi connection, to say that, whilst I have av proved the course of the State in seekin to restore her old relations with the Goren ment of th? United State*, it has been upo the faith and expectation that the State, a soon as reconstructed, is to have entir control of the whole subject of her, dornet tic affairs. The State, and the State aloin must be left to decido to whom she wi give thc right of suffrage or other politici rights. A new code notV must be enacte to protect and govern the population latel made free-to prevent idleness, vagrancy pauperism und crime. [ am not prophi enough to foresee whetJ cr we can succeci but I solemnly believe ir will be impossib! to liva in the country at all unless the Sta ( lias exclusive control of the whole suhjee I have hope that this will be permitted, an I think it is in accordance with our inti rests ?nd true policy to sustain tho Pres dent and the Democratic party in the efforts to r(fttore the States to their poe tion of equality and to give them equ rights in the Government. With these views, if thc voters of tl District think that I can serve them or tl State in this critical emergency, I will < my best for them; but I havo too high sens? of my own incompetency and of tl difficulties and responsibilities of the poi tion, to solicit it bv a personal canvass.
