Cor rc ?li o ii ti cn cc We find published ia the Charles ton- Courier and Mercury the follow? ing: ' COLUMniA, April 4, 1SGS. To Messrs. J. B. Campbell. W. JD. Porter, James Conner, C. H. Simon ton, Alexander H. Brown, and others, sympathising with, and approving the recent proceedings of, the Democratic Convention at this place. GENTLEMEN: Although tho city of Charleston was not represented in the recent Convention at this place, we attribute this more to the short notice given than to an indifference to the momentous importance of the action contemplated. We most ear? nestly request and nrge that the action of the Convention may have a response from the city of Charleston. By the aotion of the so-called Con? stitutional Convention, we know that you have been put iu a lean minority by tacking your city on to the Dis? trict of Berkley. But notwithstand? ing Buoh evident discouragement, and a prospect of success so hopeless, it will not do for BO large and im? portant a oommunity to remain list? less and inactive in a struggle which the rest of the State has inaugurated, and in which a large port of our people are now fairly embarked. We hope, therefore, that we shall soon see a pnblio recognition of our action in your city. The Committee most urgently heg that the Hon. W. D. Porter will be induced to accept the nomination for Governor, and we request that you will use all your influence to bring about such a result. We remain, gentlemen, very respectfully, J. P. THOMAS. F. w. MCMASTER. S. P. HAMILTON, For tl vu Central Executive Commit? tee of the Democratic pm-ty of South Carolina. CHARLESTON, April 9, 1808. To Messrs. J. P. Thomas, F. W. Mc Master, and S. H. Hamilton, for Central Committee of the Democratic parly of South Carolina, Columbia, S. C. GENTLEMEN: On receipt of your letter of the 4th instant, we gave our immediate consideration to your wishes. As tho best means, boyond our own personal observations, to judge of tho sentiment, we invited the Senators and Representatives of the city in the last General Assembly, and about the same number of citi? zens, on whose knowledge and judg? ment in such matters we rely, au d who might also be fairly considered representative men, to meet in free consultation. This meeting took place last evening, and resulted in the ndop3jru of the following resolution, \\h ich we have the honor to hand you : ' W Resolved, That the gentlemen to whom the letter in behalf of "the Central Executive Committee of the Democratic party of South Carolina," at Columbia, was addressed, be re? quested to reply thereto, and in their reply to s ta ut, that after conferring with a large number of their fellow citizens, mis meeting regrets that an opportunity was not afforded the people of Charleston to meet with their fellow-citizens in Columbia, ami confer with them as to the proper policy to be pursued in the present juncture of public affairs. And fur? ther, that this meeting is of opinion that the people of the city of Charles? ton do not oonour in the views which .seem to have governed the gentlemen recently assembled at Columbia, an to the p?oper polioy to be pursued iii the present condit'^ a of affairs. It is proper for ns to say that this resolution is not to be understood to< express a want of concurrence in your opposition to the Constitution winch maybe, foi* a brief time, forced upon the State by military und usurped power, or uuy want of sym? pathy io your purpose to thoroughly organize and harmonizo the friends of civilization and constitutional government for preseut and future emergencies. Upon th OHO points we have discovered no difference in opinion. Upon others there is not perfect unanimity. Most of us, how? ever, have foiled to discover any sound policy or suflicietit reason for expressing, at this particular time, an opinion upon the subject of negro suffrage, and especially for differing in this respect, nob only from tho great political party with which yon purpose to affiliate, but nlso from the sweeping current of public sentiment, which hos already rebuked our op? pressors by its triumphs in Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jer? sey, California, Connecticut, and even now in Michigan. It is undoubtedly true that there is with us a tolerance,' sympathy, kindness and friendship, for the co? lored raco, which is not to be found where they and their helpless and hopeful defect of character ure known and not counterbalanced by expe? rience of their natural kindness, simplicity and docility. We know that they are not ut this time estranged from us, imponed upon by tho arts and frauds of unprincipled men, who make them their dupes to obtain, through them, office and power. We regret this uud would be glad to remedy it. But these do uot seem to be suffi? cient reasons for our undertaking to be their champions, at this time, against the sentiment of those in whom is the only present hope of our and their rescue from endurance of the frauds practiced upon them, and the despotism and progressive ruin closing in upon oursolves. We think the return of the colored race to a harmonious recognition of the unwritten, but uot less certain and imperative, laws which govern the relation of labor to capital and intelligence, cannot bo very long delayed; but we do not think it will be hastened by prematuro and sup? plicating tenders of concessions, which, in the excitement of their first political campaign, are much likely to be received with considerate ex? amination than contemptuous sneers. Most of us also think it was a hasty, and, if we may be permitted to say so, an unwise adventure to nominate candidates for office under a constitu? tion which is to be established by usurpation and force, and which we do not accept, but to which we are compelled, ouly by military force, to submit. There are other parts of your pro? ceedings, of less consequence, upon which we withhold comment, because we do not suppose our approbation waa expected, and in- which we can? not be considered to be implicated. We are, very respectfully, your obedient servants, JAMES B. CAMPBELL, W. D. PORTER, CHARLES H. SIMONTON. ALEXANDER H. BROWN. COLUMBIA, S. C., April 22, 1868. To Messrs. J. B. Campbell, W. D. Porter, C. IL Simotnon, A. H. Brown. GENTLEMEN: Your letter of April S has been received. In reply, it if deemed necessary to reply only to thal portion of your communication, which "regrets that an opportunity was not afforded tho people ol Charleston to meet with their fellow I citizens," etc. I have been instructed to say, ic behalf of the Committee, that thc same opportunity was afforded thc people of Charleston, as that extend ed to the other sections of the State, As soon as it was determined to cal a Convention, the call was forth witl telegraphed to Charleston, and thi time was ample, as it appears to th? Committee, for Charleston to huvi sent her delegates, had thegentlemei been disposed to act promptly, am, gentlemen, very respectful yours, J. P. THOMAS, ' For Committee. ACTUAL SERVICE OF BLACK TROOPS An exchange says: There hos bee sueh a deal of clamor about th "loyalty" of the negroes in th South, and the services roudered b them in putting down the robellioi that the subjoined figures from th bureau of colored troops will be ii teresting: Whole number mustere in during the rebellion 16t),024; mu tered ont 86,023; discharged (most! for physical disability) 20,236; die 31,866; deserted 14,837; killed j action 1,314; missing in action 1,34 transferred to navy 3??. Tho less mau makes of himself, tl moro of a man he is. liny tl-Negro Rule. This sable Government, so-called, is still in a state of civil war. Sal nave, who ia called President, hut who has been as much dictator as dictators usually are, continues to fight against tho "rebels," as they are styled. It was believed that he would Boon be overcome, as the rebels had gained great advantages over him; but last accounts repre resent him ns having recaptured a fort on the South side of Port au Prince, which was recently taken by the rebels. Nissage, a black General, expects to be President, nnd is marching upou Port au Prince, where Salnave will resist him with all his strength. The war has been conducted with a brutality worthy of savages, and Salnave threatens that if the rebel? lion is successful, he will barn the capital. So determined a brute is a fit ruler of tho Hay tiens, who, by their own cruelties and caprices, have proved themselves to be worthy of no better man. The revolutions and vicissitudes of the late Spanish American provinces are easily accounted for, by the fact that Spain was never able to trans? port to them euough men of Euro? pean blood to control in govern? mental matters and general economy, save while backed by military author? ity. Tho moment that, through her embarrassments and troubles at home, she lust those provinces, the mixed nud mongrel populations which composed them became the govern? ing classes, aud the result hos been a constant succession of revolutions, attended with' bloody revenges and assassinations. But when we look to Hayti, we find no complications from the mix? ture of incompatible races. The trne African was prevalent and omnipo? tent. Ho took into his hands a well ordered Government, a flourishing State, with a grand commerce. The negro could never have a better op? portunity to show his capabilities. And yet, what has he done in fifty or sixty years with suoh a country and with unlimited scope for his own talent? Why, he has reduced Hayti nearly to barbarism, and the olose of sixty years finds that most fertile of fertile lands a prey to anarchy and bloodshed. This is the fairest example of Afri? can adaptability to civilization and civil order that has ever been pre? sented to the world. There can never be a better or a fairer one. What is the deduction? That we in the South should be put under negro rule?-Richmond Dispatch. EXCELSIOR. THE COLUMBIA PHONIX Book, Job ?nd Newspaper PRINTING ESTABLISHMENT, Main Street, above Taylor.

XT^W IS TUE TIME TO CLEANSE CUT 1> those PERILOUS SPOTS, Pimples, corrupt sores, which POLLUTE tho LIFE of tho BLOOD, and runder your body a loathesoino thing. They aro tho precur? sora of a diseased blood, and will nssumo a much moro formidable Bhapo if allowed to go on unchecked. The QUEEN'S DE? LIGHT, tho only real blood purifier that has ever boen invented, aa thousands will to-day attest, is offered to tho afflicted as a positive remedy for all diseases flowing from a vitiated condition of tho evstom. THE LIFE OF THE FLESH ls PUKE BLOOD. Upon this theory alone thc in? ventor of tho Queen's Delight establishes the great hygiouio law, WITHOUT PURE BLOOD NO FLESH IS FREE FROM DIS? EASE. Tho Palo and Shrunken Forms, Yellow Faces. Weak H tom ac li a, Diseased Livers. Crippled Rheumatics, Nervous Hypochondriacs, Dyspeptic Victims of Headache, so common in this country, is owing entirely to tho humors of tho blood. Very many other diseases may bc traced to bad blood, Scrofula or King's Evil, Erysi polan, Exuuthoma or Elevuro, a rash or eruption on females: Blotches, Totter, Goitre or Swelled Neck, Syphilis and Sy? philitic Sores, Strumous Ulcers, -Vc. These cannot bo oured without purifying tho blood. Now as to the remedy. There is no other blood purifier that will accom? plish such positive and extraordinary euron as Ucinitsn'a Queen's Delight. You maj take a barrel of extract Sarsaparilla, and still you will not bo cured; and, a's a prool of it, look around and you wiU observo tin country, throughout its lougth and breadth, is flooded with compound Sarsa fiarillas, extracts and syrups, claiming tc >e blood purifiers, and yet wo see to-daj moro evidence of impurity of the blom than ever. Why is thu:? Simply bccauB< these extracts and Sarsaparillas aro worth less medicine,?.

DEPRESSION_Mental de? pression is a disease of tho nervous sys? tem, and of all the ills flesh is heir to, it is tho one that excites the least sympathy. It is a subject of frequent jests, and Ia called by various derisivo terms; but, al? though it is often laughed at, it is not easy to laugh tho patient ont of tho belief I that his ills aro all real, for it is a real dis ordtr- tho general features of which are constant fear, anxiety and gloom. The external senses, as well as tho mental faculties, often manifest symptoms of de? rangement. Noise, as of falling water, and ringing in the oars, are complained of, while black Bpecks and flory sparks fre? quently flit before the vision. Admonitions ] like these should not bo disregarded, as ! they may, if neglected, terminate in in? sanity. The seat of the disease 1B in the I brain and nervous system, and to control the malady it is necessary to use a power? ful tonio and alterativo, which will correct and tone those organs without inflaming tho brain. This is tho secret of the suo ccsB of HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BIT- | TERS in casea of this kind, for which it is tho safest as well aa the best of restora? tives. In fact, it ie the only puro and reliable tonic stimulant known. Many nostrums, purporting to be tonics, are puffed up from time to time in tho newspapers, but tho Bufferer had better let tliom alone. HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS has proven itself, by many years of trial, to be in every respect what it ia represented to bo.
