Julias Poppe, Anderson C. IT. 8. P. Kin ard. Nowborrv C. H. . W. T. Sims, Union. J. M. Allon, Greenville Gav. Perry's Secoud Letter. Wo extract the following article from tho Carolina Spartan: Gov. Perry has written another .letter on tho subject of tho recon? struction bills, addressed tc tho Co? lombia Phoenix, in which ho reiterates his long and faithful devotion to tho Union, and that ho had raised his warning voice against secession and the fatal delusion of forming a South? ern Confederacy; aud wo know per? sonally that ho had repeatedly de olarcd that the extinction of tho .Union would be the death-knell of slavery. This is all true, and if the love of a Southern mau for the U.iion could entitle any man to tho honors of canonization, universal consent would decree and award to Gov. Per? ry that saiutly honor. His elegant manhood and large patriotism is known of all men, und equally so aro his Northern proclivities. Therefore, no ono cnn doubt that whatever ' counsel he may give, looking to a re? storation of tho Union, his intentions aro puro and his declarations aro sin? cere". But Mr. Perry's purity and sincerity, his lovo for the Union, his prophetic reach, his high sense of honor, his jnst indignation against tho atrocities of tho military bill, his devotion to liberty and love of South Carolina, cannot and Will not save us in this hour of trial. His caustic utterances of hate and detestation are appreciated and felt by the people of the South as ho feels them, foi*, in? deed, the destruction of the Stnte Governments of the South is tho most atrocious crime that tho world has ever witnessed. But what then? What are we to do? Who is to deli? ver us from this hateful thraldom? Gov. Perry deems it his duty to offer his counsels "to the people of this Stato in tho* emergency. We know of no other leading mau of South Carolina who gives the same advice. And what is that? It is simply, that every man who is not disfranchised should register hts name; that when the elections aro held he should vote for the best and wisest men, but write on his ticket "nb convention." Well, what then? Why, wait until something turns up, that's all. We think this is the substance of Mr. Perry's advice, and in his second letter he has said no moro than he did in the first. If the white people of this Stato opposo a convention, it is as much as to Bay to the freed? men, "You shall not have tho right . of suffrage if we can prevent it." No one can doubt, under these cir? cumstances, that every freedman will vote for a convention ; ho will not stop to ask whether it be constitu? tional or not, that he should have the right of suffrage, therefore he will vote for a convention, and delegates, too. The letter states that there aro 60, 000 colored and only 40,000 white voters in this State. It is very clear, then, that if every vote cast by white men in South Carolina be against a convention, a convention will be called notwithstanding, and delegates elect? ed, too. However wiso and patriotic a candidate may be, it cannot bo ex? pected that tho freedmen will vote for him if he bo opposed to tho culling of a convention, which ho vonld consi? der an effort to deprivo him of a pri? vilege already grauted him. Instead Of uniting with the white people to make tho best selection of candidates . for both rnces, it is more than proba? ble that the freedmen's candidates would bo the vilest and most bitter enemies of the South. The large majority of whito. citizens, and a unanimous vote of tho freedmen, for a .convention, is sure to f?evail; and Gov. Perry's plan onl^afcvides the white vote?, 1SfLjilsb.it unites tho color? ed vote,'Indifference or aversion will not turn the tide now rolling over us; Stato pride or self-respect affor? us no forum where tho claims of truth and justice can bo heard-no tribunal to which we may appeal whoso power can redress our wrongs and restore us to our rights. Anxiety now murks the features of almost every man and woman in the land, and doubt and uneasiness prevails everywhere, break? ing up tho chanziela of trade, destroy? ing commer?a and crushing the spirit of enterprise. Gov. Perry dwells much on tho words principle, honor, justice, &c, which is all very well. But it nppeors to us that tho aboli? tion of Bbavery, now and forever, and tho endorsement of tho civil rights bill, by a convention of tho Stato of South Carolina, whilst Mr. Perry was Provisional Governor, and in which convention and itu ordinances ho stood prominently forth as tho lead? ing man of tho Stato, iucurred a re? sponsibility as ruinous, degrading and dishonorable, ns it would bo to adopt the reconstruction bills. That convention entailed ruin and poverty, not only on ourselves, o\\$ on our children. Tho reconstruction bills Sroposo to restoro us to that Union Ir. Perry loves so well on the terms of equal suffrage. Our freedmen owe their freedom to tho Convention of tho Stato of South Carolina, and not to the Yankee. Ho has been made legally nud politically equal to Mr. Perry or any of us; nud Mr. Perry himself promoted and quietly sub? mitted to tho usurpations of thc Pre? sident and Congress. Tru?t Itt Providence. At a mass meeting recently held iii Petersburg, Va., Captain Johu Lyon, in tho course of a speech, made the following remarks: "No man, who has not lived in a slaveholding community, can npin-C ciate the sacrifice of feelings mid pre? judices, tho result of birth and edu? cation, necessary lo bring a whole community to occupy tho position which wo avow, und tho purposes which wo declare to-night. Wo are not guilty of tho folly and wicked? ness of declaring that wc havo pre? ferred tho condition of affairs that now exists. Our short-sighted wis? dom, so-cnllcd, would have led ns to different results, lint we behove that there is 11 'A Prpviuoiico that shapes our ends, Hough hew them us we may.' "And wo prrofess our willingness to accept what is tho result of what infi? dels call destiny, mid Christians call Providence, and will try lo exercise statesmanship enongh to adapt our policy to tho actual condition of so? ciety, with a view to its highest de? velopment, aud greatest happiness and safety. "Men of sense, both white mid black, hold in scorn blatant dema? gogues, who falsely say that they havo always desired what all mon now recognizo as inevitable. With tho exception of a handful of earnest and honest men in thu North, whom it has been fashiouable to call enthu? siasts and fanatics, there is and bas been no party, North or South, that intended, or even desired, the result which has so unexpectedly burst upon us all Tho children of Africa have not to thank men for their free? dom and 'enfranchisement. Their gratitude and praise aro due only to the Most High, who (in the language of the Psalmist) has brov^ht them ?ip ?lao cut of au horrible pit, out of tho miry clay, ard set their feet upon a rock, and established their goings. They have found by their experience that "it is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for tho salvation of the Lord." And as surely as the Ci ? od Father of us all hath heretofore caused the wrath of man to praise Him, so surely will He now and hereafter restrain tho remainder of wrath, and defeat tho purposes of wicked men who seek to sow tho seeds of distrust, suspicion and re? venge in the hearts of the two races." ? * ? ? Fou PEACE INSTEAD OK WAR. Tho New York Nation has some sen? sible remarks on tho condition of affaiis in Europe, and tho immense preparations being made for war by all the great powers. It says: Tremendous as aro tho military preparations of tho great powers in our day, there is no question that the enormous increase which we witness iii tho size of armies, is in roality a fresh guaranteo for tho peaeo and prosperity of tho world. It is a Curious but instructivo fuct, that tho length and frequency nnd destruc ti veness of war havo "declined in tho ratio of tho increnso and effective? ness of armaments, and that when the King of Prussia takes tho field with half n million of mon, he is not half so formidablo a foo to industry aud civilization as Francis I, . or Charles V, when ho went warriug with his 30,000 or 40,000. The Mayor of Mobile has appointed , a number of colored policemen, who aro specially charged to presorve or 1 der about tho colored churches. Tin- Black Crook. "Mark Twain," a humorous cor-j respondent of tho Alta California, has been to sec tho famous spectacle of the Black Crook in New York, au J furnishes the readers of that paper with the followiug plain critioism of tho play: I warn 3-011 that when they put beautiful clipper-bnilt gills on tho stage in this new fashion, with only barely clothes enough on to ho tan? talizing, it is a shrewd invention of the devil. It lays a heavier 'siege to public morals than all tho legitimate model artist shows you can bring into action. .Thc Boonery and tho legs aro every? thing; tho actors who?do tho talking aro the wretchedest sticks on tho boards. But tho fairy scenes-they fascine^ tho boys! Beautiful bare? legged girls, hanging in flower-bas? kets; others stretched in groups on great sea-shells; others in all possible attitudes; girls-nothing but .a wil? derness of girls-stacked up, pile on pile, way aloft, to tho dome of thc theatre, diminishing in sizo and clothing, till tho last row-mere chil? dren-dnnglo high up, from invisible ropes, arrayed only intiheinises. Tho wholo tableau resplendent with co? lumns, scrolls, and a vast ornamental work, wrought in gold, silver mid brilliant colors-all lit up with gor? geous theatrical fires, and witnessed through a great gauzy curtain, that! counterfeits a soft silvor mist! It is tho wonder of the Arabian Nights realized. Those girls dunce in ballet, dressed with a meagreness that would make a parasol blush. And they prance around and esposo themselves in n j way that is scaudalous to me. More-. over, they como trooping on the stage.] in platoons and battalions, in most] princely attire, I grant you, but nl ways with more tights in viow than anything else. They chango their clothes every fifteen minutes for four hours, and their dresses become moro beautiful and more rascally all thc limo. Edwin Booth and the legitimate drama still draw immense houses, but tho signs of the times convince mo that ho will havo to make a littlo change by and by and peel some women. Nothing elso can chain tho popular taste, tho way things aro going now. -??+?.>? ? ? .-. THE NASHVILLE GAZETTE.-Our clever cotemporary of the Nashville Gazelle seems to be enjoying himself, notwithstanding" tho rather unpro? mising prospect iu Tennessee. In his List, ho says: "Wo understand that tho autocrat of Tennessee contemplates organ? izing a navy, to co-operate with his land forces. Two old steamers are to be iron-clad, for servioe in tho. Cum? berland waters-ono will cruise in the upper Cumberland, and the other will keepjtho defunot rebels at Fort Donelson from the polls. A scheme is projected in somo of the Southern States to found an asy? lum for widows and orphans. It is proposed to dispose of large tracts of land, in small lots, by offering them in the Northern and European mar? kets, and appropriate ten per cent, on tho amouut of all sales effected, for the establishment of an asylum. Generals Hood and Longstreet are active in tho matter, and $1,000,000 is said to have been subscribed in Memphis toward the object. So much success has attended the Flying Dragon, the only Chinese pa? per published in Europe, that the proprietor has imported a font of Chinese type. The Dragon circulates in such ports of China, tho Phillip iues and Japan as England is allowod intercourse with, and it is read, not by traders alone, but by kings and princes, for the information it brings about European arts and machinery. Tho Chinese have begun to print from movable type. Tho Paris Exposition is to remain open for six months from April 1. Although it is yet scarcely in order, tho Imperial Commission having chargo of it have sold the palace in tho Champ do Mars, tho roofs, walls and similar articles, to a Russian company, who aro to be given pos? session on November 1. This com? pany intend to transport the struc? ture to Russia, and re-erect it at St. Petersburg. The New York Herald say s : Tho military are riot in tho South to toko aw'ay or obstruct tho constitutional rights of the people. They aro there only to preserve the peace and to see that tho reconstruction Acts of Con? gress be not impeded iu their opera? tion. There is no despotism intend? ed in these Acts, and we advise both the officers in command in the South and tho people not to look at them in any other light. SPECIAL NOTICES.
