COLUMBIA. Sunday Morning, March 10, 1867. Rcrontri ruction-Thc True Uusin. Thc visit of the Committee from the New York Firemen's Association to Columbia, lias impressed us with the belief that the people of the coun? try could more readily solve satisfac? torily thc question of reconstruction than all the politicians, in or out of Congress, from Maine to the llio Grande. The brotherhood of this uoble organization is a stronger link of union than any that could be forged in the national work-shop at Washington. The truth is, that a friendly inter? course between thc people of both sections cannot fail in the end to defeat the schemes of the politicians, and we hope that such intercourse * will be earnestly promoted by our own people, and that, losing sight of the political muddle at the Federal capital, they will, on every fitting opportunity, cultivate that spirit of friendship, which made itself so manifest during the stay of the New York Committee in this city. We believe the people can reconstruct more efficiently than their political leaders, North or South, and that if Congress would adjourn aud not in? terfere until the regular meeting of the next session, they would find their constituents so well agreed on the policy of restoration and peace, , that even the leaders of the domi? nant party would bow in submission to their will. Masonry and the Fire Department '. have given, in their recent visits to ? Columbia, the best evidences of the truth of our position, that the people 1 are wiser than their politicians. Au Opinion. The Wiunsboro News publishes the \ following-extract of a letter from a j distinguished gentleman, whose opi? nion is worthy of deep consideration. [ He says: "As to politics-if the South, without delay, organize new State Governments, under the law just passed by Congress, letting thc blacks vote, they can end the revolution. If not, the next thing will be confis? cation, and a larger disfranchise? ment." A recent visit to the North, during which wc took Washington by the way, confirms the truth of the above : statement. The best thing we can ! do is to slide off as easily as possible; to attend fco our own affairs, and leave polities to those whom it benefits. | - STATE SECURITIES.-The Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel throws ont a word of timely caution in tin: follow? ing article: We are sorry to see that a sort of panie has seized upon our people in ; relation to thc value of State secuii- ! . ties. The idea seems to be thai, under the operations of the Sherman bill, ; al! State securities will become vaine- : los, because of the abolition of the State Governments. This we think an unwise conclusion. The territo? rial condition of the States cannot continue very long, and, in the inte- j rim, Congress will be compelled, from | the sheer force of circumstances, to recognize the existing State Go? vernments, ton certain extent at least. The power to levy and raise taxes for ! the support of the Government will i most certainly be allowed the States, ami all acts of the de/ado Govern? ments not in derogation of the power of the Federal Government, will bc tolerated and recognized. Any other course would speedily bring about ! such a condition of anarchy as would ! startle, even the radical majority. There is no reason-there can be found n?ue-in the Sherman 1 ill, which should cause any very great decline in State or railway securities. We advise those who have such to withhold thora from the market, at least for the present. The prices of such securities must go up. It would be folly to sacrifice them at present, prices. Thc only persons who can j be benefitted by the present condi? tion of things are capitalists and brokers. Withhold from them the chance of purchasing at the present panic rates, and, in a few weeks, ' prices will regain their former level. -? ?# ? ? POSITION- OF THE SOUTH.-The wise counsels given by the press of Vir? ginia to the people of the State, in 1 thc present crisis of public affairs, are, we have no doubt, adopted with almost entire unanimity. There should be nothing done in thc South, through passion or irritation, to I "play iuto the hands'' of our op? pressors, who would be glad of an j excuse to justify their course. To bear is a necessity; to forbear is a duty. Patience, endurance, peacea? ble deportment, calm resignation, are what should characterize the conduct of the Southern people in this the worst hour of their trials. They can suffer-they can endure, while they can be true to themselves. [Alexandria (rozelle. To Hi* Exe?'U?iicy Gov. OJT. My apology for thus addressing you, sir, will, I trust, be fouud in the exigency of our political condition, which, in my opinion, does not ad? mit of delay, except at the risk of great detriment to the public interest. It is well known, within the sphere of my acquaintance, that 1 was. both on the ground of principle and po? licy, opposed to secession. I fore? saw and predicted its fatal results. I loved the Union, because it was an inheritance from our fathers, who had cemented it with their blood, and because of thc manifold bless? ings which it conferred upon us. I loved and cherished it as a sentiment, for I regarded it as something sa? cred. It was my pride and my glory to know that I was an American citi? zen, in the American Union of States, and that the Hag of ray county- was a shield and protection to me even in the remotest corners of the earth. I could not endure the thought of dis? solving that Union and attacking that Aug. I opposed it te f ie extent of my humble abilities, and at the sacrifice of most of my professional business and of all my popularity, to say nothing of the hazards to which I subjected myself in daring openly to denounce the doctrine of secession in a community where I stood alone in my opinion and in my opposition to that measure. Even my worst enemies gave me credit for sincerity, seeing that I encountered such fear? ful odds at so great a sacrifice. I was overwhelmed for the time; but my predictions of thc ruinous train of consequences which would follow se? cession, if resorted to, I regre t to say, have been too literally fulfilled. It may be supposed that I am em? bittered in consequence of the mis? fortunes which have befallen me by reason of the temporary success of the measures of my political adver? saries. Not so. I am willing to al? io w them full credit for honesty and sincerity of purpose, though I think, and the result lias proven, that they were mistaken. I feel the deepest sympathy for my ruined and distressed countrymen, and it is this sympathy, coupled with the hope that I may be able, in sonic degree, to aid in the inauguration ol a. measure to ameliorate their condi? tion, that moves me to address this letter to your Excellency. I feel satisfied that it is impossibh for our State to be restored to hei practical relations with the Federa Government, except in obedience t( the provisions and subject to tin terms of the recent Act of Congres: on the subject. I am satisfied, further, that dela; on the subject will only bring upoi us more severe terms. Now, our State can be admitted b representation in Congress, and th? exercise ol' ?ill its rights ns a State, 01 the basis of perfect equality wit! every other State, by adopting th proposed constitutional amendmen and universal suffrage. By refusing to accede to thes terms, we may expect that tho HON Congress will further disfranchise th white population, and, perhaps, ini tiate a general system of confiscation lt is well known that Mr. Steven: the leader of the dominant party i the House of Representatives, ha recently announced his purpose t bring up this matter of con?scatioi He puts it on grounds very popuk nt the North -as being necessary t indemnify loyal citizens for the losses by the war. Furthermore, there is danger of ri organization, nuder future legislatio liv Congress, of the Southern State by confining this work exclusively 1 the colored population and the loy; whites. Reconstruction of our Stn in this basis might be very acceptai) to the party in control of the Gi comment at Washington, as pr aiising them an addition to the political strength; and their rem ickuowledgment of such action ; legitimate, may be certainly cale lated upon. The machinery of the State (1 cernnicnt thus in the hands of a po iion of our people, we might expec is has been the case in Tennessee ai Missouri, the most searching pr scriptum of alt persons not acting concert with them. Many persons think the Preside may be able to do something for t: South, but there is no foundation f this hope. The President's poli bas been rejected by two-thirds of tl Northern people and the Northe States. Indeed, so far from helpil ns. tin; President cannot help 7timsei 1 fe is now threatened with inipeac nient, and only remains in the Whi House by the tolerance of his opp uents. Some persons hope for a re-acti it the North-vain and delusive hoj The Democratic party there is utte: powerless, und for the next two yo; ;'ne Government will be in the han ^f the Republicans. We are' in the midst of a great i volution-moral and political-whi .;ui never b? arrested until it sh liave spent itself in obtaining its gri objective point-equality of rights iii persons, without regard to ra ;olor, or previous condition. The only chance for us to cmei from our political prostration is, recognize this great truth at on iud act accordingly. Seeing tl universal suffrage, without regard race or color, is a fixed fact-the 1 sstablished by the power of the ci qucror-it is tho part of wisdom for us to accept that fact, with all its logical consequences, and conform our political action to it. Hence it is our interest to attach our colored people to us, by ut once taking the initiative in recognizing their equality, and, by our entire legislation, and public aird private conduct, show ourselves to be their truest and best friends. When this is done, tin- revolution? ary furore at thc Nor'h will have spent itself, and we will be homogeneous among ourselves. The moment all our people aro in harmony with each other, our mate? rial interests being identical, we will bc able to net together and prevent the rise of a 'party in our State to dominate over us, at thc instigation of outsiders. In view, therefore, of all the cir? cumstances in which weare placed, it is my decided opinion that steps should bo taken at once to re-organ? ize our State Government in con? formity to thc action of Congress. I therefore respectfully call upon your Excellency, as thc only person having thc power to convene the Le? gislature, to assemble that body at as early a day as practicable, that they may call a convention of the people of the State, to act upon the subject of reconstruction. Very respectfullv, Ac., JAMES M. HUTLAND.' STRANGE STATES:? .VNSIITP. -Surely it is the stratigest statesmanship ever known, and a legislation that could hardly have been worthy of thc dark middle ages, to undertake to pro? scribe the educated, energetic and honest white men of a province, and give the contest and management of affairs into the hands of the ignorant and utterly uninformed and semi civilized of an inferior and dependent race, who but a little while ago were slaves. Is that the way to restore peace and harmony? What! to pro? scribe and make foreigners of the owners of the soil, the wealthy, the industrious, the educated, thc Chris? tian gentlemen, thc honest me? chanics, the industrious and thought? ful farmers, and set over them to rule, them the unthrifty, squalid, lazy and degraded African, a thousand times less capable than Neapolitan laz/.a roui! What are we to think of the republicanism of a people who are willing to entrust thc destinies of a country like Louisiana to the hands of negroes, who are to be manipu? lated aud used for evil and mis? chievous purposes by a few adven? turers? Is that not to make inevita? ble a reign of terror? What can come of it, in a country peopled in a large measure by the descendants of Frenchmen, but commotion, feuds and bloodshed, and all the horrors of a servile war Vj, j PROTECTION*.-Thc Cincinnati Com? mercial says of a peculiar feature in the tarill which thc late Congress, wc believe, didn't adopt: . "AU the ?nd hens of thc United States have reason to cackle with de? light. Cur exemplary Congress pro? poses to protect them. Even if the tariff bill, now before Congress, fails to become a law. the obi hens have been recognized by American states? men as belonging to ?mc of thc privi? leged classes. Our own hens are to be protected against competitioi with thc pauper poultry of Canada. A duty of one cent per dozen is tobe levied on Canadian eggs. Thc Ame? rican hen that hereafter-fostered as the egg interest is by protective legis? lation-neglects to ??ay an egg every ?lay of thc week (including Sundays) will be esteemed unpatriotic in her tendencies." . ??> Tn its decision in the Milligan case, tito United States Supreme Court gave expression to the following: Civil liberty and martial law cannot en? dure together; the antagonism is irreconciliable; and in tim conflict, one or the other must perish.

Tho Grand Jury have no recom? mendations to make in regard to thc public roads. They find them in as good condition as could bo expected under the circumstances, and they know ol* no dereliction of duty on the part of the Commissioners of Hoads. The Grand Jury are informed that there is some suffering at the District Poor House, and recommend that the Commissioners of the Poor provide to tdical attendance and make such additional provision for the comfort of the inmates as may be necessary. The Grand Jury'think that the provision for free schools is insuffi? cient, and recommend that the appro? priation for that object be increased. The Grand Jury recommend that John Carter and Stephen Ledding ham. (freedmen. ) charged with house? breaking and larceny, be regularly indicted for the offences of which i they are charged. I In reference to the statement of the \ Sherill' that there are nineteen pri? soners confined in a room twelve feet square, and that there are no ade? quate accommodations for prisoners under the control of the Sheriff, the Grand Jury recommend that the Commissioners of Public Buildings do procure suitable rooms for the accommodation of prisoners at the Lunatic Asylum, (if possible.) or some other secure place; and that a jail for the District be built as early as pos? sible. Tur: DOCTOR.-Everybody knows the doctor; a very important person he is to us all. What could we do without him? He brings us into this world, and tries to keep ns as long in it as he can, and as long as our bodies can hold together; iud he is with us at that strange and last hour, which will come to us all, when we "must leave this world, and go into the next. When we are well, we perhaps think little about the doctor, or we have our small joke at him and his drugs; but let anything go wrong with our bodies-that wonderful ta? bernacle in which our soul dwells let any of its wheels go wrong-then oft* we My to him. If the mother thinks her husband or child is dying, how she runs to him and urges him with her tears; how she watches his face, and follows his searching eye as he examines the dear sufferer; how she wonders what he thinks; what would she give to know what he knows? how she wearies for his visit: how a cheerful word from him makes her heart leap with joy. and gives her spirit and strength to watch over the bed of distress. Her whole soul goes out to him in unspeakable grati? tude wlreu he brings back to her from the power of the grace her hus? band or darling child. The doctor knows many of our secret s-o f our sor rows-which no one else knows: some of our sins, perhaps, which the great God alone else knows. How many lives and li carts he carries in heart and in his hands. So, .V(M''MBfcl he is a very important person. Wie doctor, and we should do our best to make the most of him, and to do our duty to him and ourselves.
