COLUMBI^. Tuesday Morning, August 7, 1866. What th? South ha? Done. We contend that the Southern States have done much for tho Union. The Nashville Union and American says: "In good faith the Southern people took up arms, and -with like good faith they laid them down. Their oonduct in war proved how earnest they were in the first, and their bear? ing since its close has shown how sincere they are in tho last." We ask in behalf of the Southern people, a calm and dispassionate review of their position since the surrender of Lee aud Johnston. Every possible means have been used to goad and infuriate them to over? step the boundary of prudence and forbearance, and to incite them again to violence and renewed bloodshed. They have partially succeeded in New Orleans, yet tho outrage attempted to be perpetrated in that oity was sc glaring that tho Government inter posed the strong arm of the military to crush out this contemplated revo lution. A Washington correspondent writes, that this miserable conspiracy was concocted in that city, and w< have little doubt but that it is a radi cal plot, hatched under the auspice: of Stevens, Sumner Sc Co., in some of their midnight conclaves. The Southern people did not hesi Ute to give up 4,000,000 of their lat? slaves, involving the sacrifice of f sam of money to them more that equal to the entire war debt of tin Union, but, in ali their codes, the^ cheerfully provided for the protec tion of this unfortunate class in al the rights and privileges necessary t< their welfare. And what have thej received in return? Contumely, dis daia, vituperation and vindictive laws Again: the Southern people hav> paid their taxes, although denied rep resentation. They have conform?e to the laws, although they knew th?s laws, in many instances, were frame? to oppress and degrade them. Ever agency and instrumentality that th radicals could devise to drive ther to mob violence has been used, an yet, to-day, the people of tho lat Confederate States stand proud an erect-loyal to the Government, Cor stitution and laws. History record no nobler instance of true patriotisi than the Southern people have exh bitod within the past twelve month.* Severe Castigation. The inevitable Henry S. Foot? having abused Gen. Hindman i a book he has recently publishet is handled in a scathing reply froi the exiled Confederate. We give th concluding paragraph as a sample; "This is my first vindication c military transactions through th press. It is made reluctantly, becaus silence becomes a champion of fallen cause. Perhaps, also, it necessary, as fair miuded-men mus in good time, arise to write tho histoi of our great and mournful struggh Still, it may be well to put fae like the foregoing within their reacl and this is the motive that actuate me. As for the book before mentioi ed, it can do no hurt where the antin is known. Repudiator, Bond Paye Whig, Democrat, Know Nothinj Unionist, Secessionist-everythit by turns, and nothing long; ?politic mendicant in half the States, and refugee from every porty, betray? and despised by nil; placarded a's "constitutional Uar," years ago, I the great captive whom he now at oi moment slanders, and, at the ne insults with a spurious sympath thrust forth from Mississippi wi the formal declaration of her Hom of Reprseentatives impugning h veracity branded on his forehea? with such antecedents up to 186 and with the block record, painted 1 himself, of time-server, factionii traitor and sycophant during ai since the war; howling against tl North when Southern fortunes we ut their foot; embarrassing o counsels when the tide began to eb ignominiously deserting to the eu my when great disasters befel us, ai fawning upon that enemy when o country's subjugation had be wrought-how is it possible for hi to win credence from the public, or pass his bose lies for truth? Reli his acts as they may, his preso masters must loathe him, and cv our former slaves must turn from hi in disgust. I heard a little wh bock that ho was dead, and was si prised that a sentiment oharital towards him sprang up in my min it was that he might turn out to ha hod at least os much grace as Iscaric and hove hanged himself in ator meut for three-score years of cc tinuous lying, and treachery. ] must be aware that his career c fitly hove but this termination. I own are tho only h. ands vile en on to end his existence, and the maw the carrion crow is his natural pla of sepulture. " j The Army. The New York World publishes j some nine columns of confirmations ! of commissioned officers of the United ! States army, volunteer and regular. Not one of this long list is a South? ern man, with Southern alliances or sympathies. So grumbles one of our exchanges; not that he cares much about tho pre? ference shown in the selection of officers, but because he objects to this unfair mode of disbursing the Fede? ral funds. For our own part, wc think the Southerners ought to be thankful-they are getting substi? tutes very cheap, at the small amount of personal tax to each individual which the army {und would require. Sherman'! Spoils. Tho following extract from the National Ii?e?igencer, of Friday, will be interesting to Columbia readers. "Wo hope the Fire Department of this city will take tho necessary steps to recover their beautiful trumpet: Tho Southern people, through whose States the colossal march of Sherman carried its inevitable cala? mities of fire and death, with all the crimes and abominations whioh ugly passion in such masses of men en? genders, are much condemned by their conquerors for the bitter denun? ciations which they have sometimes invoked, while smarting under their calamities, upon tho Northern peo? ple. We have, on the contrary, often wondered at their patienco and theil silence, and especially have we thus felt as often as specimens of the tro? phies so abounding in this city, brought hither by Sherman's return? ing victorious troops, have faller under our observation. We have been led to these reflec tions by what has recently fallen tc our notice. One soldier showed us, not long since, a very elegant lady's gold watch, with a fine, heavy gold chair, and rich ornaments, that came fron near Columbia, South Carolina. Th? plundering soldiers rushed into t fine residence as they passed, and it a chamber, from which a young ladj had just in terror fled, this watch ant chain were lying upon the dressing table. At the auctioneer establish men and loan office of Wm. Smith & Co. No. 502 Ninth street, near the ave nue, in this citjT, may bc seen a fire man's trumpet, some foot and a hal or more in length, of solid silver upon which aro the following inscrip tions: "Presidents of tho Indepen dent Fire Engine Company-Georg? Kerr, December 21, 1836; Pete Bryce, December 19, 1837; Willian Cunningham, December 17, 1838 William B. Stanley, "December 17 1839; J. J. Mackey, December 15 1846; John McKenzie, December 15 1851; J. J. Mackey, December 1G 1856." "Presented to tho Indepen dent Fire Engine Company of Co lumbia, South Carolina, t>y the Engl B. G. Company of Charleston, Sont] Carolina, November 16, 1858." This trumpet was put iu pawn a Messrs. Smith k Co.'s establish ment by one of Sherman's soldiers who had a Munchuasen story of fierce encounter with the rebels con nected with its capture in the street of Columbin. At the same store ma be seen also au ancient pair of gol spectacles, in a heavy silver cast brought likewise by a soldier fror Columbia. Tho name upon each < the flat, heavy bows, near tho glasses is "U. Hahn." They are evidentl of ancient German manufacture. A the same place, is also a large, heav silver seal, belonging, as the soldk said, down in Virginia. It is th property of some association, whic will, no doubt, be glad to find it, an we understood from Mr. Smith tha he would bo very glad to surrender to the owners without compensatio! The following is the handsomely-ci inscription: "Ashen Lodge, No. Si j Honestas et virtus"-honesty and virti; j -a curious motto for a thieving so dier to be bearing about upon one ( his stolen trophies. The seal beal the figure of justice holding up th scales. There is no positive evidenc on it to identify it as belonging eitln to a Masonie or Odd Fellows' Lodg but it belongs undoubtedly to one < the other of these fraternities. We publish the above as inform tion for our readers, andi hope th the publication may bo instrument in the recovery of the stolen pr porty. There were so many go watches taken in Columbia that would bo difficult to identify any si ! gie one, but tho facts above stati I may lead to a recognition in th case. Wo were eye-witness to such scene as the soldier described to tl National Intelligencer, but these ac of violence were so numerous that would be iu vain to attempt to loen any single instance of this plnnd by armed men. What a shanie upi tho country does not the publient ii of such facts as tho above testify t Such is the Christian warfare of civilized nation in the nineteen century! I The cholera is prevailing as a d ease in St. Louis, though but lit has boca caid about ii. The Great Missionary Work. | i Wo extract the following from an address delivered by Bishop Elliot before the Georgia Episcopal Con? vention. It is eloquent and very timely nuder our present circum? stances: Never, in the history of the world, has there been such a rapid and ef? fective missionary work as the Chris? tian church has performed in this land in connection with slavery. For we must remember that the slaves when brought here, up to a period as late as 1808, were the same savages as our missionaries are now eombattling, with so very little effect, upon the coast of Africa; were tho same savages . as are cutting each other's throats day after day, and perpetrating enormities, which dis? grace humanity, upon their own soil, even in the very sight of military operations. And yet, within the period of two centuries, there has been made out of these savages a Christian people, having a clear dis? cernment of right and wrong, under? standing very distinctly tho system of our religion, having educated teachers of their own color and their own race; gentle, kind and, until they are meddled with, faithful and affectionate. Tho number of com? municants in thc various churches of the South far exceeds, in proportion to population, that of tho whites. They had churches of their own in all tho large cities, managed by them? selves, containing thousands of com? municants, and in the rural districts they were visited by missionaries ap? pointed specially for their own bene? fit, or they mingled iu tho same reli? gious instruction with their owners, eating of the same consecrated bread and drinking of the same consecra? ted wine. Their behavior during thc long, fierce war which has now ter? minated, is the sublimest vindication of the institution of slavery, as it existed among us, which could have been offered to the world. With years of preliminary agitation about the rights of the slaves and the cruelty and barbarism of the mas? ters; with hordes of deceitful fanatics scattered through the Southern coun? try, some in the guise of teachers, some of pedlars, some of book agento, some of mechanics, und aii alike tampering with the slaves; with a war which required the absence ol all the abl~-bodied and the warlike from home; with a proclamation ol emancipation sounded in their ear as early as 1862, and summoning them virtually to strike for their rights with largo armies of those win .called themselves their friends tra versing tho country and thundering at their very doors, these people never once lifted their hands or theil voices, voluntarily, against theil owners; but, with nobody to coere? and restrain them save weak womer and infirm men and boys too yoting for military purposes, they remainei quiet, docile, industrious, obedient exhibiting in no case, that I hav< ever heard of, insubordination* o: disorder. Any cruelty they ma have since exhibited, they hav< learned from other teaching thai ours-any barbarism into which the; muy have since elapsed, they havi fallen into after they had passed fron under our influence. Where, iu th world's history has there beeu a cas< like this of forbearance and quiet ness where au inferior nico has beei opposed by a superior, and had th means given it of vengeance? On own times furnish us two instance in fearful contrast-the one of th ferocity of the French in their terri hie overthrow of the Church, tb monarchy, and the aristocracy, am that of the negroes of St. Dominga who have furnished to this age name for everything inhuman am barbarous. One of two things i> therefore, clear-either that thes people suffered no oppression wort the name, or that slavery has prc dnced Christian virtues, through il teachings and discipline, of the mo; rare and striking character. This aspect of things leads to tw important practical results. First, : vindicates the Christian church i the South from the obloquy that ht been poured upon it, us if it wi winkling at a barbarous and uuchri: tian system, and doing nothing f ameliorate . in a vindication which ought to have done, and which I no lay humbly upon its altar. No pe< pie have ?iver labored more fa afulb more devontedly, with mort; sel denial, than have Southern Cliri tians to do their best for the shiv? committed to their trust. Vei many have known who have given n their lives for their religious inst ru tion-many who have impoverish) themselves that their slaves uiight 1 comfortable or free. Almost evei minister, for a half century past, h; devoted somo of Iiis time to tl poorer members of his flocks, ni very many more would have kneel? at our altars, hail they not prefern a more exciting worship and a mo enthusiastic exhibition of their fe? ings than we allowed. I say withe: any fear of rightful contradictio that it" a slav?! did not receive re gious instruction it was because 1 ?lid not care about it, ox because 1 was in some remote position, who the whites were us badly off as hit self. The other practical point isthat \ have no need to change our sytem instruction because of this emaff? pation; or to call in nnv foreign he to our assistance. Thc church Georgia has always taught the colon race so far as the number of clergy? men and the rivalry of other deno? minations would permit her. We must simply carry on the same plan in the future. Wo have always had Sunday schools for them ; let us con? tinue the same. We have always welcomed them to our churches and altars; let us continue the same. We have permitted them to organize j churches for themselves-they have been free as all upon this point; let us continue the same. If those churches are organized as Episcopal Churches, we shall be glad to assist them in the way of true godliness. I see no necessity to chango our course for the present; nor do I see ! that wo need auy help -from abroad in their religious culture. We have christian men aud christian women in abundance among ns, who will undertake any work for the church. Organize them in your various I parishes, and they will do the work more efficiently than others can. None understand the colored race as v:ell as we do-none have its confi? dence as fully as we have. My sin? cere conviction is that if any future good or blessing is to come for these people, it must be of home growth it must be the continuation of the same kindly feelings between thc races which has heretofore existed. Every person imported from abroad to instruct or teach these is an influ ence, unintentionally perhaps, but really widening the breach betweer the races. This work must bo done by ourselves-done faithfully, earn estly and as in the sight of God Love must go along with it; grati txide for their past services; memo ries of infancy and childhood thoughts of the glory which wil accrue to us when we shall lead thes< people, once our servants, but nov as servants-but above servants-a brethren beloved, and present then to Christ as our offering of repent ance for what we have failed b fulfil in the past of our trust. IMPORTANT INFORM ATTON. -We hav been permitted to publish the sui joined letter from the Treasury De partment, containing valuable infoi rnation to many parties in our midsl TREASURY DEPARTMENT, OFFICE OF INTERNAL. REVENUE, WASHINGTON, July 28, 18G6. GENTLEMEN: Your letter of Jul 26. in relation to yarn, cotton pict ings, ?c., has been received. " In answer, I have to say, thi under the new excise Act of July li 1866, "yarn and warp for weaving braiding or manufacturing purpose exclusively," are exempt from excii tax from that date. Taxes errom ously assessed and paid on yarn c warp, will bo refunded on presentin a claim therefor in due form at th office. Cotton pickings, (frequently calle "paper stock,") on which the excii tax as cotton has not been paid, ai liable to the tax of two cents pi pound. On and after August 1866, the tax will be three cents p pound. Under regulations of the Secreta: of the Treasury, dated October 1865, articles subject to au excise ta and on which the tax had not be< paid, when shipped to Northern por from the "States lately in insurro tion," were required to be shipped bond and tho tax thereon paid at tl port of destination, before they cou be delivered to their consignee These regulations have been recent revoked, consequently manufacti ers in tho South can now ship thc products on the same terms th manufacturers at the North ship t same kinds of goods.
