COLUMBIO. I Sunday Morning, September 9,1866. A Sensible Address. Tho Danville (Va.) News contains an interesting report of an address recently delivered to the freedmen of that city by "Lucius ?fury, one of their number, formerly a slave. The object of the . address, tho News says, was to impress upon the minds of the fteadmen the impor? tance of a correct understanding ol their true relations to the white men of the South, whom he represented aa being their only true friends. He strove to show them the necessity of cultivating friendly relations wita the whites, by a course of life which would entitle them to their kind con? sideration, and make it their interest to reclaim them as laborers, instead of employing foreign immigrants who are flocking into tho country. Their only chance now, he urged, was to depend on their own industry, honesty and frugality, without which they must become more deeply de? graded than eyer, and their race ul? timately extinct. The most striking part of his ad? dress is that in which he criticises and ridicules tho forced and unnatu? ral zeal of Northern emissaries, who profeoS to be the only friends of the race, and this was received by every manifestation of delight and ap? plause by his audience. Thc New York World, in noticing this very in? telligent and sensible address, says: "What this sensible and honest freedman preached to his fellows, is only what would have represented the feeling of the entire colored popu? lation of the South, had fanatical emissaries never been sent among them to poison their minds against those who mnst always be tlieir neighbors, if not their employers, and to fill them with all sorts of false notions, foreign to their nature or desires, and which they can never hope to seo realized." Wo hail these evidences of good sense, among the freedmen, with great pleasure. They assure us that, notwithstanding the efforts which have been mado to demoralize them and lead them astray, there is still a correct idea left amongst the most intelligent, of their true position and their just relations towards those with whom they are associated in the business of every-daylife. The more of such healthful reaction among themselves and the less of Freed? men's Bureau interference, the sooner will the difficult question of labor aud capital bo satisfactorily adjusted in tho South. We trust that July's example will be followed by the intelligent freed? men among ns, and in every section of the South. By adopting and fol? lowing it, they will more effectually secure the peaceful enjoyment of their rights, than bj the operation of a thousand civil rights bills-passed by their canting and hypocritical friends in the radical Congress. Oreen-ville and Columbia. Railroad, We extract thc following from the Greenville Enterprise, and congratu? late tho officers of the Company on their success: We learn that the bridge over the Broad River, at Alston, upon which tho Company's efforts have for so long a time been directed, has at last been completed, the first train cross? ing the early part of this week. This is a consummation upon which tho public will congratulate them? selves, as well as President Hammett, as the inconvenience and delay so long endured by passengers, when reaching that point, will be entirely removed. Wo have been assured that in o short time Mr. Hammet^ who has o great and feeling consideration of the wants aud necessities of the people, and especially of the poorer classes, will direct a reduction of tho freights of the road materially, and more par? ticularly with reference to provision? and articles of prime necessity. In this those who now find such difficul? ty in supplying themselves and fami? lies with sustenance, will have cause to hold np their hands in gratitude to Mr. H. In anticipation of this, prices have, within tho last few days, fallen 20 per cent. Corn, selling a week ago at 62.60, can be procured now at $2; bacon, which had been selling at 30 cents per pound, was offered on the streets, on Friday, in small lots, at 21 cents. Heretofore, the rates on the road wore necessarily high, as the Com? pany have had much to encountoi and contend with in heavy charges for the transx>ortation of all goode crossing tho river. The schednlo be? tween this and Columbia will soon be ?.hanged, and the entire hue will be ran over in a less space of time, thereby insuring another relief to the public. ttee'^?^rmbcr* T""^^fce'a??gis*sl3?i?r . ] GENTLEMEN: Yon are now acting ui??er a grat? pr?ssu^. * ^Popular ctji raor, pity for the tliatress ?f out peo? ple, individual indobtedttess among ycmrrorwrs, sind Ibat thirst for pop?, lar?ty which rules' too many-all are operating to make yon fail to give a proper regard to law and justice. But a proper self-respect is ol more value to a true mau than a short-lived popularity, that often, in tho end, product? for its possessor contempt, and contempt only. It you aim at true, lasting popularity, i/o your duty. In this spirit you mini meet all the claims for stay laws and other measures intended to obstruct the course of the law. Great harm has already been don? by tbo late stay law: be careful that you do-not entail further and greater ills upon the State by hasty and ill-advised legis? lation. It is proposed in the House, "2. Abolition of imprisonment for debt cither on mesne or final pro? cess." "What does this mean? Does not everybody know that we have no imprisonment for debt, properly so called, except for the debtor con? victed of dishonesty, or who will not rave np his nnleviable property for the payment of his just debts? Under our humano laws, no honest debtor can bo confined for more than ten days; if he has any friends, ho cannot be confined a single day. Is our Le gislature to pass laws for the benefit of the dishonest? Let the following have some consi? deration: By our bail process and ca. sa,, notes and other choses in ac? tion, and, in general, all property not subject to levy, aro made liable for ono's debts. Yon can constitution? ally abolish all imprisonment of tho person by itself considered; but if, at the same time, you do not provide some way by which the above stated nnleviable property can be reached, you impair the obligation of all ex? isting contracts. Again, you can pass no exemption law that will affect jxist contracts. Again, you can pass no bankrupt law discharging the debtor from all liabil? ity for any debt contracted previous to the passage of such law, beyond as now provided. It may be well for the present exemption law to bo en? larged, and for a bankrupt law to bo passed enabling a debtor, upon the surrender of all his property, to bo discharged from all his debts; but it is useless for yon to attempt to make these laws apply lo already existing contracts. They must be prospective in their operation. WOLSEY. Gen. Htoiicma.ii. Wo published, ou Thursday, the remarks of Gen. Forrest on taking the chair of thc great ratification meeting at Memphis. Below, wo give a brief report of a speech from Gen. Stonemnn, who was also present at this meeting: FRIENDS ANT? FHLLOW-COVNTI?YMEN: You have called before yon, not n partizan or a politician, but a simple citizen of the Government of the United States, knowing no North, no South, no East, no West. The war in which the people of this great? est of all countries has been engaged during the past eventful years is end? ed-thc issues upon which that wai was based are settled. If there is anything to forgive, let it bc for? given ; it* there is anything to be for? got, let it bo forgotten. Let us all recollect that we have but ono coun? try and one flag. Tho object foi which we are all assembled here to? night is, as I undcrstal?Ht, recon? struction and ro-union. You may force a separated man and wife to live in the same house, lodge in thc same room, but they will never bc re-united as man and wife until they I have first become reconciled. J* said . the war was ended. As we were ene? mies in war, let us be again friends; and in this sentiment 1 know that none will join me moro heartily than the gallant and distinguished presi? dent of this assemblage. The bravery i that was displayed during the past 1 >v each one engaged in the war, let it be the common property of nil. We j soldiers who did tho righting aro re I conciled, and want peace and harmo ? ny, and we call upon you editors and : orators of tho land to aid us with your pens and tongues. Preachers of the Gospel, whoso solemn obliga. i tion is to preach peace and good will, o ask your prayers and invocations, i ..id from you, politicians, wo de? mand that you sholl cease your wrangling and allow tho good work to go on until our object is attuned. i And you, fair maidens and noble ma i trons, who, during the fighting, cheered ns with your smiles ami frightened us with your frowns, lend t ns the potency of your power in the accomplishment ot a work so laudable and so noble. As I am not a candi I date for your suffrages, nor nevercx : peet to be, nor over east a vote for President in my life, you will not ex 1 peet me to define my position; but this mnch I will say: I havo been n ? member of a citlb for near a quarter i of a century, and which was organized i three-quarters of a century ago. By the Constitution of that club, its Pre i sidon t is elected every four years. i Its first President was George Wash idgton; its present President is An I drew Johnson, whom the people call '.our Andy." yyffiB Maggi iWWjWggr g -r The so-called er? loyalists, on Tosaday, elected e??ec?6tary? Speed, President, and John Minor Botts, vice-President. Wo give below a few items concern - ing?nia black and tan assemblage. We do not see that Fred? Pftwflffcsti was appointed to any office in the Convention : r l? ^UtftUfa* i I In taking Iiis seat, Mr. Speed said ' the convention of the 14th of August was merely to record the commands of one man. They did what a loyal Congress refused to do, and if the Congress of the United States ever becomes tho mere recording secre? tary of the Executive, the Uberty of the Republic is gone. He declared that there was unequal representa? tion as long as one mar in die coun? try was unrepresented. When the loyal Southern men heard this de? claration of the Convention at Balti? more, which nominated Mr. Lincoln, it was the day of rejoicing through? out their homes, and they bid the North "goodwill." He called the attention of the con? vention to the peculiar language of the resolution adopted by the con? vention of the 14th of August. It docs not state that any Southern State has abolished shivery, but in? dicates that it has been abolished by military power, and when they have power they will claim compensation for emancipated slaves. He wished it to bo written in the fundamental law of tho land that no money is ever to bo paid for emancipated slaves, or for tho effort to overthrow tho Go? vernment. Judge Bond, of Baltimore, offered the following: Resolved, That this convention urge the loyal men of th e North to support the Congress of the United States, in demanding of the Southern States the wise guarantees of thc con? stitutional amendments passed by Congress, and (?Ul upou the patriotic men of tho loyal States to use every exertion to secure thc ratification of thc amendment by the States; and that, as we believe, the justice we mete shall be thc measure of our safety, that, in our opinion, there can be no permanent peace or secu? rity for loyal men in the South with? out a return to negro suffrage. Mr. Salford, of Alabama, inquired if that resolution was in tho form of instruction. Mr. John Lu Thomas, of Maryland, said the first part of the resolution met the unanimous approbation of the Maryland delegation. The latter did not. A delegate moved to strike out thc word "negro" before the won! "suffrage," and insert the won; "equal." The chair said the resolution hat already been referred. Mr. Thomas hoped it would b< again brought before the couventioi for discussion. Ile was as strong ii the advocacy of Union principles a: auy body, but ho did not favor sud fire-brands as this. Tho resolution gave rise to an ox cited debate, but was finally referre? to tho committee on resolutions. A number of othor resolution were then offered and referred to th committee on resolutions, after whicl the convention, at half-past on o'clock, adjourned tiH the follow ing day. The following extract from th Philadelphia correspondence of th ITerfdd, sheds light on the designs c ' tho conventionalists: *f Illustrative of this is the following conversation, wi ich took place tc 1 dav at the National Negro Unio Club House, No. 1105 Cheston street, between a Virginia delegat and ono of the officers of the club: Mean White (in reply to a qnei tion)-Well, sir, wc are in a ha state. We can't do without negr 1 suffrage or another war. Either w I must call on the darkies to help u against the rebels and rule tho rebel by their votes, or the rebels inn; \ ride ns, or we must light. And if w ' do, unless we liavo very speedy hel ' from the North, it will be a shoi matter, ns our numbera are so few. National Negro Unionist-I ai only surprised that the negroes tl not rise wherever they eau and bur 1 down the towns. They could do th: ' and thev ought to doit. Mean White-Well, they'll wait U a time. They aro not ready yet. j have asked them myself, when thc I have been beaten und ill-used, wh ' ! they don't turn and fight, and th? i answer, "Wait till we're ready, an I then we'll go in and see who'll ki and burn." And, sir, just as soon i j the rebels got reconstructed, and a tempt to rule the blacks, there wi bo a rich St. Domingo at the Soutl National Negro Unionist-What tho comparative population . blacks and whites in your State? Moan White-Tho negroes ai moro than one-third as many as tl 1 whites. An Outsider -What State are ye from, sir? Mean White-From Virginia. Outsider-Old Virginia or Westei Virginia? Mean White-Oh, old Virginia. 1 \ Western Virginia they have tl rebels under their feet, and so th< ; can afford to do without the negri They don't want thc negroes to vo j there!

Imagine thc fox's feeling i I stich company. - WiltliM" III wtm iU?M ' I Tdie following article is from the Nwten$f jKeliigencer, a papwr WiHich always knows what it says, especially WMi??ott io political affairs ? the Federal capital : j* ^ ? "The jofpmals of the radical dis? union party that are so clean gone in reckless partizanship as to ?trike blindly, without respect to facts, -cm, as the Cincinnati Commercial says, to 'watch closely the acts of Gen. Grant.' Do they remember that he incurred great censure from the disnnionists, when he paro led tue armies ol Lee and Johnston, al? lowing them to go home, where they should not be disturbed? Do they remember his report, so long ago aa last December, in respect to the con? dition and feeling of the Southern people, which was denounced in the Senate by leading radicals, Mr. Sumner characterizing it os a 'white? washing concern?' Do they call to mind his recommendation for the re? lease of State prisoners, whom Mr. Holt's suborned witnesses charged OB particepe criminis in tho assassina? tion of Mr. Lincoln? They say that he J declined accompanying the President in his tour to Chicago. That false? hood has liad short life They say that he was entrapped into the com? pany of tho National Union delegates nt the Executive Mansion, on the oc? casion of their address to the Presi? dent and his reply. What are the facts? If Gen. Grant was summoned by the President on business, he knew where to . go. It was the Exe? cutive Chamber and not tho East Room, which was packed by a crowd to witness the ceremony and hear the speeches. We will state reliably what occurred. A gentleman present, who knew Gen Grant personally (ho was not in uniform) volunteered to get him through the crowd. It gave way when it was stated that Gen. Grant was tho party desiring to go forward. When through the crowd, he took his stand immediately at the side of the President, amid great cheering, which was earnestly joined in by the Southern delegates, because they sincerely admire him, not only as a soldier, but for bis kind acts, be? fore stated in this article. When thc ceremony was closed, he cordially in? terchanged civilities generally, and shook hands with the leading persons present, including the Southern dele? gates. "Wc allude to all this mainly to correct the public mind, if it bas been wrongly impressed by any mean and malignant statements of the enemies ol tho President of the idea that Gen. Grant, in his relations to the Presi dent, has acted otherwise than as r gentleman, or to the Southern dele gates other than in consistence witt his previous great public acts of gen erosity and charity to rebels in arms ? We have no idea that the radical dis I unionists have any aid or comfor j from him in their more suspected de I signs to break up the Government i ; tlie elections go against them thi i autumn." -.-- ? ? ? I FATAL ACCIDENT. -Mr. J. G. Lind j say, a well known merchant of York ?ville, S.
