COLUMBIA. Friday Morning, April 6, 1866. Trusting ?nd Aiding the South. The Nashville Union condenses from Hunt's Merchants? Magazine, the oldest and most influential mercantile magazine in the United States, a capital article on the rehabilition of of the South. The article in question assumes the position that the great issue now before the country is the single idea-"Shall we, or shall we not, trust the South?" In the solu? tion of this question, the article coin? cides with President Johnson, whom the writer can trust, especially as he is supported in his opinions by lead? ing military men. But, aside from the views of the President and others, this ably conducted magazine believes that every consideration of national interest and of national pride re? quires a generous policy. It rejects the idea, (and very properly, too,) that it is necessary to have security against a repetition of the contro versy, or that any attempt will be made to revive secession, and the continuance of laws oppressive to the race the war has emancipated. "The South," it says, "staked their all on the issue of the war. They lost, and now the heresies which give rise to it no power on earth could vitalize. The constitutional amendment has also denationalized slavery, and the people and the States are showing, through their Legisla? tures, and through private contracts with the freedmen, the good faith with which they accept the situation. " The frank avowal of President Johnson that "the people must be trusted with their Government," the writer is pa* maded, must be accepted in the same spirit in which it was made. We extract the two following paragraphs from the article: "Itis not by the holding of the conquered party to extravagant and humiliating conditions that the Union is to be esnrblished anew, that civil law is to be maintained in the South? ern Commonwealths, and their pros? perity restored to its former condition. Enough that the majesty of the na? tion has been asserted, and the pro? of secession has been deter ?ed by the arbitrament of war, I the social system of the South, many regarded as the original of the mischief, has been irned. The time for peace has ie, and the duty of the hour is io ration. The basis of this restora lust be mutual confidence, as resident has so clearly indicated, t? Southern States must invite this assuming a political attitude be? fore the nation; the North by cor? dial acceptance of their assurances. "The most important considera? tions of public interest demand this. When the war began, every one felt "lat the breaking up of the Union ?d involve Ae general disintegra k tion of society, and endanger our BL national existence. The same feeling, Bk rightly applied, must lead to the uni jfM^yersal conviction that territorial de W^pendence and military subjection of W the Southern States, expose us to simi I lar peril. We cannot safely permit a I colonial system to grow up among us, I tending, as it does, to concentrate power in the hands of the lExecutive, *. - and to enlarge it even to the dimen? sions of imperialism. This was tho real issue upon which our fathers fought in the Revolution; and it is tangibly expressed in their watch? word, the reason why John Hamp? den refused to pay ship-money-"No taxation without representation." Till our Southern States are permit? ted to Lave their Senators and Rep I ^jeeseutatives in Congress, they are but colonies of their sister Common I wealths, and can have no joint inte I rest in our great national system. " The article then refers to the foreign relations of the country, and quotes the following language of President Johnson on this subject: 1 'The moment it can be announced that tho Union o? theTStates is again complete, that wo have resumed onr career of prosperity and greatness, ,?ttbat very instant almost all our foreign difficulties will be settled. For there is no power on earth which will care to have a controversy or a ^rupture with the Government of the Tnited States, under such circum? stances." Wo wish most earnestly that Con? gress could take as broad and just a view of this question. But the Magazine, turning to its own special department, brings before its readers some reasons more likely to luye effect upon its readers, as fhey aro based upon commercial and ^nancial considerations and the no ^ssity of the success of the policy the prosperity of the country. Speaking of the South and her re? sources it says: "Tho vast region lately overrun by p was the garden of the republic, 1 furnished to our export trade the >les which gave us our ^ommeroial preponderance in the markets of the world. And, in this connection, it publishes a table, compiled from the records of the Treasury Department of "Washington, (through the polite? ness of the Register) showing the quantity of cotton exported from the United States from 1858-59 to 1864 65, and the ports whence it was shipped. From this table it appears that the exportations amounted in 1858-59 to 1,386,468,000 lbs. ; 1859-60 to 1,767,686,000 lbs.; 1860-61 to 1,750,000,000lbs.; 1861-62 to 5.064, 000 lbs.; 1862-63 to 11,385,000 lbs.; 1863-64 to 11,994-000 lbs. ; 1864-65 to 8,894,060 lbs. "In the yea.- before the war, con? tinues the Magazine, besides the production of manufacturers to the value of over $200,000,000, and the supply of raw material to England and the North, the South sent to Europe cotton, tobacco, rice, etc., to the value of about $210,000,090." The Magazine then glances at the condition of the South, its territory devastated and its resources crippled, and continues: "How is the capital to be attracted that is to supply tho necessary wants? Alone by insuring large profits; and this can only be by encouraging, in every possible way, those attempting the cultivation of cotton in the South, and, above all, by giving to capital the security of civil government. "We have again the opportunity, and il brings with it the duty, to occupy thc first place in the markets of the world. The same natural advantages -we have always possessed remain to us, thc same laboring population are t .ere ready to engage in the culture, inc with an interest in the result ?? Uicl must add largely to the profit of )otl the laborer and the employer. Be sides, machinery can be used in teat' of old negro hoes to prepare the ;oil and emigration from Europe wil. adc largely to the volume of industr . If therefore, we can encourage th uro duction now, capital will be atti ac tee to the South, the waste of th ; ara will be supplied, and the future con dition of our country cannot be doubt ful." * The Magazine shows from facts am figures that we cannot, under the pre sent state of affairs, return to ou monopoly of cotton production. Tha this can only be done by encouragini the flow of capital South by takinj away as soon as possible military rule and stimulating the production s that low prices may drive out all com petition. It concludes: "Hence, we see that every consi deration of national interest and pub lie policy requires the early rehabili tation of the Southern States an their restoration to the family of th Union ; and the President's eagernes to lay aside the extraordinary power which the exigencies of the war ha conferred upon him, affords the high est proof of his sincerity and patrio! ism. "We want tho aid of Souther statesmen to solve the problem of nc cessary legislation for the South, an it is damaging to the best interests c the country to dispense with it an longer; we want the moral influenc of a united country in adjusting ou foreign relations; and, perhaps mor than all, wa want capital attracted t the South, and its industry an wealth free to develops itself, an this cannot be, so long as the State are under semi-military rule." Whether the sensible views e: pressed in the article under conside ation will have any effect upon tl merchants and capitalists of tl North, remains to be seen. "We ai inclined to believe that much migl be done, by proper efforts on the pa of our old business men and other to attract capital to the South. BESTBUCTIVE FXRE.-The Charle ton papers, of yesterday, state tha about the time they were going press, a fire broke out in the butt ing occupied as a grocery store 1 Mr. W.- J. Trim, in King street, o posite Berresford. It soon spread the adjoining buildings on both side The one on the South was former occupied as a confectionery by Peti but recently a millinery and fan store had been opened there. On tl North, was the stand of Orcutt, t] picture man, and the tailor-shop Dorbanm ?fe Menke. Several engin were playing steady streams upon : and there was good reason to ho; that it would not extend further. The Newbern (N. C.) Times giv the following first-rate press notic which shows it<> animus: "The N Nation is the name of a mi?cegen tion sheet started in Richmond, Vi and received here yesterday, with request to exchange. It purports be edited by J. "W. Hunnicut, a nati of South Carolina. We do not h lieve he ever saw South Carolina, he did, ho should not have been pe mitted to stay there long. We b leave to decline an exchange with 1: iirty sheet, and with all others of 1 radical, ruinous class." Gen. R. A. Pryor is employed :he jjditorial management <>t'H Vf oribis A?-gus. CIVIL BIGHTS RESTORED TO AIL THE STATES EXCEPT TEXAS.-The Wil? mington Journal, of the 3d, pub? lishes the following despatch: "WASHINGTON, April 2.-The Presi? dent has issued a lengthy proclamation declaring that the insurrection which has heretofore existed in the States of Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia, South Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi and Florida, is at an end, and is hence? forth to bo so regarded." In addition to this despatch, the Charleston Netos, of yesterday, states that the omission was owing to a mistake in the first despatch sent. THE RICHMOND PAPERS. -Saturday's dates were the last papers we had from Richmond. Cause, strike of printers. The proprietors of tho pa? pers will only pay forty cents ; the employees asking fifty cents per 1,000 ems. The latter price is what is generally paid throughout the South, and is only equivalent to former rates. An association of printers were to have issued " The Citizen" on Monday last. We have not received a copy. The absence of the Rich? mond papers is a serious inconve? nience to their exchanges, South. The proprietors intend sending for "hands," and paying their expenses to that city. -*~*~?~> THE CANADIAN CONFEDERATION. The movements in favor of a great confederation of all the Canadian Provinces are making decided pro? gress. In New Brunswick, the peo? ple have declared for the scheme by repeated acts, both in and out of the Legislature, and the Ministry, which is opposed to it, eau scarcely get any support. In a recent address to the Ministry, a paragraph opposing con j federation was replaced by another j favoring it, by a large majority, only j I three votes being recorded in the ne? gative. STONEWALL JACKSON'S ONLY JOKE. Mr. John Esten Cooke, in his newly published biography, says that Stone? wall Jackson never made but one practical joke in his life. This was when he was a professor at Lexing? ton, Va., and consisted in asking his class why it was impossible to send a telegraphic despatch from Lexington to Staunton. Some of his pupils suggested that the iron ore in the I mountains drew iron oro from the 'wires, and others proposed other theories, but it was some time before any cadet was brilliant enough to re? mark that there was no telegraph line between the two places. The radical physic for the South is beginning to work upon their own people, as will be seen from the an? nexed article, taken from the New York Herald. The Herald will be worse alarmed for its own people three months lien?-.??: CONGRESS AND BUSINESS.-The dry goods trade is at a stand-still. A crash is impending. Imported goods ordered long ago in anticipation of an immense spring trade, are pouring in upon our merchants; but no goods are sold. What is the reason of this stoppage in business? It is the radi? calism of Congress. Our merchants counted upon a large influx of buyers from the South as soon as the war was over and thc Union restored. The war is over; but Congress persists in keeping the South out of the Union. Consequently there is no Southern trade. The Western mer? chants arrive here, look about, see no business doing, no rivalry, no com? petition, and conclude that they will wait awhile before purchasing, "un? til things get settled." There is now no sale for the goods produced by our manufactories. Presently the manufactories will have to stop work. Then we shall sec thousands of peo? ple thrown out of employment, star? vation staring them in the face, their children crying for food. Riots will follow, and perhaps a resolution. Why is all this? Not because of the high price of gold, for gold is lower than at any time during the war. Not because of the tariff, for that has not been changed since the war. No; it is because a few dozen radicals in Congress have made up their mind i to ruin the country or carr}- the next Presidential election by negro votes or by the exclusion of all votes from the South. It is because another rebellion, more wicked than thc last, is tugging at thc vitals of thc nation. It is because a few men at Washing? ton prefer their party to their coun? try. Let the people mark them well and remember them in future. It is suggested by a Richmond paper that the "crater farm," where tho celebrated "crater mine" was exploded before Petersburg, July 30, 1804, be selected fora Southern ceme? tery, and that provision fi >r this ' pur MESSRS. EDITORS: While the ques? tions at issue, concerning . 'the Metho? dists, have, it seems, been narrowed down to one, I would, in a few words, endeavor to remove that. Though Wesley entered upon his clerical career as a high churchman, avowed? ly, by the words quoted from the 7th volume of his works, and, also, by many others which might be adduced in support of the fact; still, subse? quently, we presumed it to be well known, that he saw reason to change his views. (A man's maturest judg? ment generally considered his best. ) That he felt providentially led to this chango, acting upon it in ordaining peachers, bishops, Sec., can be sub? stantiated by authorities too* nume? rous to be cited here. A METHODIST. Eight years ago, when Minnesota made application for admission as a State, and it was objected that the Constitution she presented gave the i ight of suffrage to aliens, President Johnson then foreshadowed his pre? sent policy, and announced some of his ideas about Republican Govern? ment. In his speech on that occasion, favoring the admission of Minnesota, he said: "This Government has no power under the Constitution of the United States to fix the qualification of voters in any sovereign State of the Confederacy. I want to enter my protest against the doctrine being indulged in or cultivated to any other extent, that this Government has power to go inside a sovereign State and prescribe the qualifications of her voters at the ballot-box. It is for the State and not for the Government to do that. If the doctrine be once con? ceded that the Federal Government I has the power to fix the qualifications i of voters in a State; the idea of State I sovereignty is utopian. There is no such thing as State sovereignty if ! this Government can fix the qualifi? cation of voters." As shown by Iiis recent veto, thc President has not changed his opinions. j EMIGRATION SOUTH.-The Man? chester (N. H.) Mirror, alluding to '< the departure this spring of large numbers, from New England to the South and West, says that a number have already left Manchester for Virginia and other parts of the South, while others are waiting but for the season to be a little further advanced. But for the precarious condition of Southern society at present, the number would be still larger, for it is generally conceded that opportuni? ties for business there are not to be excelled. -- GEK. FORREST KILLS A-NEGRO.-A letter from Sunflower County, Missis? sippi, says a negro employed on Gen. Forrest's plantation, while assaulting his (the negro's) sick wife, was remon? strated with by Forrest. The negro drew a knife and attempted to kill Forrest, who, after receiving a wound in the hand, seized an axe and killed the negro. Gen. Forrest then gave himself up to the sheriff. The ne? groes on the plantation justify the homicide. TIMELY CAUTION.-A correspon? dent of the Mobile Advertiser a>ul Register cautions the cotton planters throughout tho South to test tho seed they lise. He says that much of thc seed in the market is worthless, and will doom many a planter to disap? pointment when it is too late to repair the mischief, unless they ex? periment with the seed they intend using, and ascertain that its germi? nating powers are unimpaired. The President has sent to the House a communication from the Go? vernor of Alabama, asking that that State be allowed to assume and pay, in State bonds, the tax now due from her; or, that delay of payment be authorized until the State, by sale of bonds or by taxation, can provide for the payment of the same. The steamei Croton, Capt. Fitz? gerald, from Savannah, ria Beaufort, for Charleston, struck some obstruc? tion in the Coosaw River, on Tues? day afternoon, and sunk in a short time, her deck being submerged. Her passengers and most of her freight have been taken off. GEN. M. W. GARY.-The Courier has learned from a gentleman that Maj. Gen. M. W. Gary, who was carried to Charleston under arrest and committed to jail, has been released on parole. It was rumored in Washington, j Saturday, that a stormy Cabinet meet- I had resulted in the notification of Secretaries Stanton and Harlan, by i the President, that ho would bo glad to receive their resignations. in tho caso of Bradley Johnson, late of the Confederate army, recent? ly held to bail in Baltimore, to an? swer to an indictment for treason, the President has interposed an order abandoning the case. We are gratified to announce that ? thc mischief-making Radical organ of ( Memphis, tho Daily Times, has sus- : pended for want of patronage. Well done, merchants of Memphis. The Floridian announces the ar? rival, at Tallahassee, of the Hon. Philip Fraser, Judge of tho United States District Court for the Northern District of Florida. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE. -The fire in the vicinity of Petroleum Centro, on the i?*t. was one ot the most destructive '"""i^PWll in llml n inon. $150.OOO From Washington. On the 11th ult., 1 telegraphed that it j was supposed that tho Reconstruction Committee would soon bo discharged from j the further consideration of thc condition of the Southern States, and, to-day, rc- j forts to that effect are again in circulation, t is believed that a majority of the mem? bers of both Houses are in favor of re? suming the powers which they abdicated when this committee was created, and the committee themselves arc disgusted with tho ill success of tho measures they have concocted and presented to Congress. It may not be generally known that regu? lar daily supplies of food, clothing and fuel are distributed daUy to tho negroes of this district by the Freedmen's Bureau, at enormous cost to the Government. Gene? ral Howard now issues an order stating that this will cease after the 10th inst. The sick, aged and infirm negroes wil! then be provided with permanent homes, and the able-bodied negroes, some 16,000 in num? ber, will be required to go to work at last, after having been supported all winter in idleness. The latest advices from Trenton indi? cate that Mr. Scovel will stand firm in de? fence of the President's policy against tho radicals, and there is no probability, there? fore, that a radical Senator will be returned from Now Jersey. The veto wUl certainly be sustained hy? the Senate. Even tho radicals are con? vinced of this fact now, and hence they will bo in no hurry to call np the civil rights bill, which they know to be killed beyond recovery. Thc President has directed the War De? partment to muster out twenty thousand negro troops, in addition to those recently discharged, and orders for that purpose will accordingly be issued. When the two Houses are thus "purged,"1 and when a radical shall have been elected in the place of Mr. Stockton, the radicals will be ready to go on with their plots against the Government. It is their de? sign not only to pass the civil rights bill over tho President's veto, but also to pass again the Freedmen's Bureau bill, with, perhaps, a few trifling alterations. A few days will show whether or not they aro strong enough to sncceed in this. If they are, will they stop there? There is no reason to believe so. The President will stand like a lion in their path. They have already spoken of him as "an obstacle to be removed,"' and they will endeavor to re? move him either by impeachment or in some other manner. I mean cx.aet.lv what I say. Thc men who brought. Charles tb*J First to the scaffold," tin. men who brought the head of Louis the Sixteenth to the block, were not more determined in their purpose than the radicals to depose Presi? dent Johnson from his office. Tho Latin Senator from Massachusetts has entered the list of candidates for thc Presidency. The strong demonstrations of his colored brethren in his favor, and their manifestations of admiration for Massa Sumner, have, it is reported, in? duced him to become a candidate for that high office. He how claims to be the leader of the party, and is indignant when? ever any other person is given that honor. If persons desire to witness an expression on Sumner's countenance indicating the most extreme satisfaction with himself and everybody abound him, let them salute him as the great leader of the party, and will have the opportunity. A peacock with his tail spread, will not strut around with a prouder air than tho Latin Senator from Massachnsetts on occasions like that. [Cor. Nein York News. But why should he not have the honor of being the leader of the party and a candi? date for the Presidency? He is certainly the leader of the radicals in the Senate. Such men as Fessenden and Sherman have lost their identity, and, instead of taking the high position for which their talents fit them, have sunk into insignificance hy? the side of the Massachusetts peacock. There was at one time a great rivalry be? tween Fessenden and Sumner for the leadership of the Senate, but ever since the former accepted the radical and negro worshipping policy of Sumner he has been gradually losing caste. No person now cares what Fessenden says upon questions relating to the South. All know that he is no longer the oracle of the party. His speeches arc neither listened to nor read now, for the simple reason that it cannot be told until Sumner has made his speech whether his arguments represent the opin? ion of Ibo party or not. Kow different from tho speeches of the Latin gentleman from the Old Bay State. When he is an? nounced to speak, the galleries are crowded, especially that portion set apart for his colored hearers. Every word that he utters is listened to with attention; his speeches are read, and all the newspapers of the country devote columns to their criticism. But who has heard one of Fes senden's speeches commented upon out? side of his own State since he has accept? ed Sumner as his political leader? All admit that the Senator from Maine is by far the ablest man of the two, and it seems a mystery that, with his talent, ho should allow himself to be so completely over? shadowed by Sumner as ho has of late. But however unpleasant the position may bo to him, or how much ho may be goaded by the fact that he stands in that attitude before the country to-day, he cannot help himself as long as he consents to do thc bidding of Sumner and give his influence to sustain the radical policy against tho President.- Cor. New York Herald. TENNESSEE ELECTIONS. -Despatches from Nashville and Memphis bring the information that the conserva? tive, or Johnson party, have carried the legislative election. The Now Jersey Senate has refused to go into a vote this session for choice of United States Senator. Hotel proprietors at the North are considering the expediency of lessen? ing the price of board. The New York Senate has passed a resolution expressing regret at the recent veto of tho President. SHIP NEWS. POUT OF CHARLESTON, APRIL 5. ASS?VED YESTERDAY. Steamship Andalusia, Burslcy, New York.
