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

me. As for the book before mentioi

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

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

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

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

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.
