COLUMBIA. Sunday Morning, November 4,1866. Por tlic People to Con?it!i-r. lt is popularly believed and gone rally admitted, that Mr. Henry J. Raymond wrote the address of the Philadelphia National Union Conven? tion. In that document is the fol? lowing passage, commenting on the constitutional amendment, now being attempted to be forced'on the South: "And"thc ton million? of Ameri? cans who live in the South would be unworthy citizens of a free country, degenerate sons of :i heroic ancestry, unlit ever to become the guardians of the rights 'and liberties bequeathed to us by the fathers and* founders of the republic, if they could accept, with uncomplaining submissiveness, the humiliations thus sought to be imposed upon them." Now, this was written in the proper spirit <d' manhood and patriotism. The next conservative demonstration was thc Soldiers' Convention, at Cleveland. That body of gallant men declared, on this subject, as fol? lows : "The Southern people, after fol? lowing their political leaders into thc late struggle, and sharing the risk of their fate through four years of ter? rible war, arc called upon to aid the proscription! Whatever punishment their leaders may deserve ?it the hands of tho Government, it is unintelligi? ble that statesmen have dreamed of asl, in'j (heir associates and. followers to inflict thal punishment upon them-es? pecially :i punishment of lasting dis grace, more terrible than any which the Government itself is authorized to impose. If, in the midst of their errors, the people of the South re? tain the ordinary fidelity of comrades in-arms to each other -the common sentiment of honor which rules all companionship-they will not volun? tarily desert the men whom they have voluntarily and steadily followed amid so many perils." Now, how contemptible and puerile do the efforts thal Raymond is now making to induce the Southern peo? ple to adopt the amendment, appear, after reading the above declarations of those who. although not of us, yet ap? preciate tlie true feelings of tho gal? lant people of the South, when they are called upon to not only repudiate their tried and trusted leaders, but to inflict upon them a "punishment of lasting disgrace, moro terrible than any which the Government itself is authorized to impose." These are the nords of United States officers and soldiers, who have had the op? portunity to appreciate, and do ap? preciate, the noble bearing of their Southern adversaries in arms. Raymond and his co-workers m ai? rest assured, that the South, at least, is conscious of the tra? strength of her position, and comprehends the virtue and truth of that immortal saying of her once great political leader, "masterly inactivity." The fight is in thc North, and the North must fight it out. Submission, no matter how degrading, will bring the South neither honor nor profit. This lier people know, and all the smooth tongued persuasions of facile North? ern politicians, to induce them to make this last small concession to ra? dical usurpations, are fully under? stood by them, and treated with thc contempt they merit. The proof of this will.be seen in the action of the Southern Legislatures now in session, or to meet-lhere is not a Southern State in the Union that will east len rotes for the adoption of the. con st Ult' lional amendment, It is in the power of tin* Northern States to bring us back to our rightful participation in tho affairs of Government; but a high-toned people, like those of thc South, will never voluntarily sneak back as base panderers or servile States. The Next Session of thc Legislature. Elections have been ordered to lill vacancies for the House of Repre? sentatives in tho following Districts, viz: Charleston, Horry, Marion, Ker? shaw, Chesterfield, York and Green? ville; so that a member from nearly one-fourth of the Districts will bo in thc next Legislature, fresh from the people, and, wo presume, fully in? structed on thc important topics of legislation, to wit: Tho continuance of tho District Courts, tho stay law, the ratification of tho constitutional amendment, .Ve. Meetings have been called in several Districts, with refer? ence to these and other important subjects, which will bo brought np J for discussion before the next Legis? lature. -? ? ? ? -(?eneral Castelneau has arrived at Vera Cruz from Franco to ship the French troops and Maximilian home again. " ."l.- .,11. Baltimore. Oar despatches, yesterday morning, announced that Gov. Swann hud up pointed new Police Commissioners, in pince of tho old corrupt radical set, whoso gigantic frauds drove twenty-five legal voters from thc polls. Tho Richmond Times very properly says: "In doing this, ho has exercised a perfectly clear and indisputable legal right; but the radicals contemplate resistance, and the expelled Commis? sioners, encouraged by the appeals of Forney and that ilk, will resist the legitimate exercise of power by tho Executive of Maryland. The Presi? dent has determined to sustain thc laws and Constitution of Maryland, and the probabilities are that civil war, in its most terrible form, is about to be precipitated upon tho country by the radical party. "The accumulation of Federal troops in Baltimore and tho presence there of Gen. Graut and other promi? nent soldiers, sounds of gun-powder. Of all the cities of this country, Bal? timore is most prone to sudden, vio? lent and bloody riots, and a spark may at any moment explode a fearful mine of blood, arson and lawless pillage. Tiie firm, resolute attitude of the Government, aud the presence of a formidable force of regulars, may drive into submission to tho law of a party which is as cowardly as it is cruel and malignant." This is all rigid. If civil war is to be inaugurated, it is better that it should commence now, and in the city of Baltimore, and on this very subject, than afterwards at tho city of Washington, when tho radical Congress would bo i? session. The strength of thc Government will now be shown, in its complete ability to put down Jacobin resistance to the Constitution and laws. Out of it all, we hope to see the indictment and punishment of the arch-instigators of this rebellion-Forney, of tho CIir<> nicle, and Fulton, of the American who have stirred up the radical dupes to this madness. -.-?->> The President properly admitted the validity cf the present Congress when he sent his message to it in December, 18G5. Its revolutionary exclusion of the lawful repiesentativea of a portion of tho Southern States after the declaration of peace may make it unlawful and invalid. How? ever that may be, there can be no question that it will require the whole number of representatives from a'l tho States to constitute the Fortieth Congress. He will bardi}' send a message to that body unless it be constituted according to the Constitu? tion and laws. BOUNTIFUL HAUVESTS IM PENNSYL? VANIA.-A correspondent writing tc tho Commissioner of Agriculture from Fayette County, Pa., represent? the crops in that section as bountiful beyond all precedent, being at least twelve-tenths of the ordinary yield. The potato crop is at least four timoi greater than in 1805, while the yield of buckwheat and sorghum has beer remarkably heavy. The New York Tnne? ?says : Wi tl the President removed, and Genera Grant oilieially decapitated, and th? Southern States reduced to territo? ries, and tho Southern whites heh in bondage, and with Brownlow, auc Butler, and Phillips "running th? machine," tho condition and fate o tho Republic might bo confidently foretold. From Alabama and other parts o the South we have accounts of sever? destitution, and distress among th? people. To aggravate these evils and in great measure as a consequent of tho crop failures, vexatious lav suits are springing- up. The Legis latures are to be petitioned to enac some measures to prevent a universa sacrifice of property. Messrs. Thiers, Guizot, Victoi Hugo, Lamartine, Cousin, Georg? Saud, and other illustrious writers arc actually engaged in writing upoi Paris a book in which each of then will contribute a chapter. The bool will appear at the French Expositioi asa fresh monument to French geniu and talent. Gov. Humphreys, of Mississippi in view of the precarious conditioi of Jeff. Davis' health, recommend tho Legislature to appoint ono o more commissioners to proceed t Washington and confer with th President, with a view to the releas of Davis on parole or bail. An invasion of grasshoppers, tim has been sweeping over the plains now threatens Northern Texas. The have made their appearance in mj riatls at Camp Verde, fifty miles fror San Antonio. They are too lat? however, to ?lainage the crops th i year. Tho election for members of Coi grtiss, so far, appears to havo bee treated with sovereign contempt b the voters of Texas. Tho people tl not seem to care about sending rei rescntatives to Washington, only t have them snubbed and sent back.

Karly on Friday morning, Messrs. 'J'. I,amar Starb and Frank Fielding, (who wi re returning from a fox chase, roi Stark's farm,) discovered a freedman crossing one of the fields*, with a bag on bis head. Mr. Stark, thinking that al! was not right, hailed him, and asked what he bad in his bag. He replied that he had corn, and was going to town with it. Mr. Si ark tlc ;, charged bini with stealing the corn from Mr. Davis, who lives in the vicinity, and asked him to go back to Mr. Davis' with bite, which he re? fused to do. Stark then said he should go and prove himself clear. Stark was on horse-back. Thcdeceasoil took hold of him and tried to pul! him oft' his horse, say? ing, "Yon G-d d il rebel, I've got you." Tho deceased still held'to him. Finding that he could not release himself. Stark drew his pistol and tired ou the negro, who still clung to him. Stark attempted to re? lease himself, but Unding that he could not do so, fired again, the ball striking his antagonist, who ran off, but was found dead in tia' woods, two boms afterward, about-Ku) yards from where the affair oc? curred. Soon alter the occurrence. Mr. S. promptly delivered himself np to thc pro? per auiboril ?es. An inquest was held by Coroner Walker: and after a thorough investigation, tie jury rendered the following verdict: That Stark Situs, a freedman, came to his death, on the "Jd day ol' November, lstiti, from the effects of a ball fired from a pistol in the handsoT T.

And the autumn winds arc drear, And the forests have chango*! their groen array For the hues of tin; dying year. There comos a season, brief and bright, When thc zephyrs breathe with a gentle swell, And the sunshine plays with a softer light, Like the summer's last farewell. The brilliant dyes of tho autumn woods Havo gladdened the forest bowers, And decked their pathless solitudes, Like a blooming waste of flowers; In the hidden depths.no sound is bearii, Save a low and murmuring wail. As the rustling leaves are gently stirred By tho breath of the dying gale. The hazy clouds in the mellow light Float with the breezes by, Where the far-off mountain's misty height Seems mingling with the sky: And tho dancing streams rejoice again, In the glow ol' the golden sun: And tho Hocks arc glad in the grassy plain, Where the sparkling waters run. 'Tis season of deep and quiet thought, And it brings a calm to the breast; And tho broken heart and the mind o'er wrought May find in its stillness fest; For tho gentle voice of the dying year. From forest and sunny plain, Is sweet as it falls on the mourner's ear, And its spirit forgets its pain. Vet over all is a mantling gloom, That saddens tho gazer's h -art; For soon shall the autumn's varied bloom From the forest trees depart: Tho bright leaves whirl in the < ddying air, Their beautiful tints arc fading fast, And the mountain tops will soon bo bare. And the Indian summer past. N KW ADVERTISEMENTS. Attention iseall ed to the following advertisements, which are published this morning tor tho first time: W.T. Walter -Auction Sale. A. M.
