??The Principles of Our War."
The New York Herald asks, with a
ludicrous ance tat ion of seriousness:
"Shall we now abandon tho prin
.oiplea of our war and show tho world
that we know not for what we fought?
This we would do if we should now
put the Government iu the hands of
a party that opposed thc war; that
embarrassed the Government by all
moans during tho war."
In the first place, what were "tho
principles of our war," which wo aro
thus admonished not to abandon?
If we may credit the repeated decla?
rations of Congress, mado contem?
poraneously with-, and soon after, tho
commencement of actual hostilities,
'We are constrained to infer that tho
central and paramount principio
which the war was inaugurated to
maintain, was tho indissolubility of
the Federal Union and tho conse?
quent duty of tho Government to
preserve its integrity by defeating
any attempt to destroy it. This was
tho graud controlling principle, em?
bracing at once the duty and purpose
of tho Government, that gavo vitality
and vigor to tho movement of tho
?pooplo; and its value as a means of
influencing tho popular mind, is
proven by the emphasis and promi?
nence that wcro given to it at tho
time. This was tho all-sufficient
argument by which tho peoplo wcro
persuaded to talio up arms against
their Southern adversaries, tho very
front and head of whose offending
was that they were successfully resist?
ing thc authority of tho United
States. And it was uot until tho war
had ceased, that any other vindication
of it was imagined. What change
has occurred to render necessary au
appeal to any other principles than
those which were invoked at tho be?
ginning? Tho principle of tho war
was Union; tho most prominent fca
turo iu the policy of tho party with
which thc Herald ia now co-operating
is disuniou; and, in order to secure
disunion, wo arc admonished to ad?
here to the principles of a war which
was prosecuted solely and confessedly
for thc Uniou. Who will reconcile
thc contradicliou, asks tho Petersburg
Express? So long as thc war con?
tinued, its legitimate principles held
good; but why refer to them now,
after a three years' period of
comparative peace? Aro the people
now to be told that the war was
waged merely to perpet?alo tho do?
mination o? tho Republican party,
and to do whatever might bo neces?
sary or conducive to that end, and
consequently to subordinate tho
white race to tho black; squander
hundreds of millions of tho publio
funds iu tho prosecution of partisan
schemes; to annihilate every vestige
of States rights; to masculato tho
chief executivo and judicial depart?
ments of the nation, and concentrate
all tho powers of the Government
into tho hands of Congress. If
fraud, mismanagement, usurpation
and disunionism wcro indeed "tho
principles of our war," and since
these are tho special objects of odium
against which tho present ro-action
ary movomcnt, under tho leadership
of Seymour, is directed, it ia difficult
to perceive how his election can re?
sult iu damage to tho country, oven
though it involvo an abandonment
of these principles, and still more
difficult to understand why tho peo?
plo should prefer a leader who insists
on perpetuating tho principios of war
in a season of profound tranquility,
and that, too, at tho expenso of na?
tional progress and prosperity. But
what "principles of tho war" would
in fact bo abandoned by tho olection
of Seymour? Tho Southern States
would probably bo soon ro-installed
under tho Constitution; would that
be such an abondoumont? tho right?
ful authority of the Presidential offico
and of tho Supreme Court would bo
re-assorted and recognized; would
this bo such an abaudoumont? the
expenses of tho Government would
bo reduced some two or thrco hun
dred millions annually; would this
be snob nn abandonment? the laws
of the land would be rescued from
the arbitrary control of military
officials; would this he such an
abandonment? The truth ia, if
Bennett's honesty wore qunl to his
admitted shrewdness, we should have
no such oxhibitious of foigucd stu?
pidity as all this twaddle about
"abandoning the principles of our
war."

Sensat Ional?
Tho following letter was recoived
by Governor Scott, a day or two ngo,
and was deemed of such importance,
by several members of thc so-cn^ed
Legislature, that a secret session of
that body waa held in consequence.
It will, doubtless, bo used as a cam?
paign document by tho radicals, as a
number of copies were immediately
printed for circulation at tho North.
The Newberry delegation assert that
they know no such mau us Martin;

A Card.
EDITOR PHOSNIX: lu your issue of
this morning, appears the following
local item:
"SMATJT, BUSINESS.-A lad, aged
ten years, sou of Col. Wm. Wallace,
was arrested, yesterday, on a warraat
issued by Magistrate W. B. John?
ston. Tho causo of tho arrest was a
fist fight with a young freedman.
Bail was promptly offered, and Wal?
lace released."
In justice to myself, as a pnblic
officer, I claim tho right, which I
presumo you will not deny, to refute
tho imputation against mo contained
in thc abovo paragraph. In tho first
place, a complaint on oath was mado
beforo mo. by thc father of tho color?
ed boy, upon whom tho assault was
made, that tho latter was knocked
down aud kicked iu tho face with thc
assailant's boots. In the second
place, tho "lad," "sou of Col. Wm.
Wallace," is fourteen years of agc,
(according to his own statement,)
and not ten, as stated in your notice.
In tho third place, tho youth accused
teas not arrested, as tho officer testifies,
tho latter having positive instructions
from mc not to arrest him; and tho
fact that tho officer did not ai rest
him, is corroborated by Master Wal?
lace himself-nor did the officer even
accompany him lo my office.
As lo "thc cause of arrest," which
you state "was a fist ?ght witli a
young freedman," if you, or your
informant, will take Hie trouble to
como to my ofiico, they can sec tho
affidavits noon which the course 1
did pursue was based. Permit mc
now to say, that neither party ma?
lignity, on tho one hand, nor party
prejudice, on tho other, can cause mo
to swerve from tho plain duty which
is devolved upon me by tho obliga?
tions ol' my office, Hint is, to admin?
ister equal and exact justice to ail
parties nf every class, whether rich
or poor, white or colored, who may
conic before me, claiming tho pro?
tection ot" law. Respectfully,
WM. B. JOHNSON, Magistrate.
1 hereby certify, os a sworn office :\
that, in the case referred to above, I
had instructions from Magistrate
Johnston, for whom I am acting as
coustablo, and before whom com?
plaint ou oath was made by the
father, of an assault made on the
person of Iiis son-a freed-boy-by
Master Willie Wallace, not to arrest
tho latter, hut to seo tho relativo
with whom ho was temporarily re?
siding, and make a request that tho
youth should bo sent to his office;
that, consefluently, J did not arrest
him, did not consider him a prisouer,
nor did I accompany him to tho
magistrate's oflice.
C. HUSSTJNG,
Coustablo Richland County.
[Tho local referred to, made uo
charge against tho magistrate of
party malignity, or prejudice, as he
intimates. The difficulty was no?
ticed, simply because it appeared a
particularly small affair. As to thc
arrest, that is a mero quibble. The
lad was compelled to appear at thc
magistrate's oflice, and his family
forced to givo security for his ap?
pearance at court. Tho magistrate
may be mistaken as to his age.-En.
PlIONIX. j
Wo have beeu furnished with thc
following letter for publication. It
will bis found to rcpaj perusal:
COLUMBIA, July 18, 18G8.
lloxoiicn Sn:; I thank you for
your kind reply to my last letter.
You did mo much honor by publish?
ing it iu tho Phaaxix nowspaper. I
do not feel at liberty to withhold my
viowa from a generous constituency,
and I will thoreforo send you my
letters from timo to time. I feel u
kind pity for tho poor PJuvnix. The
editor, a gentleman naraod Solhy,
put in a bid for tho public printing.
His bid was greatly less than tho bid
of Mr. Denny & Co.-ono dollar less
on every page-but as Mr. Donny &
Co. done the printing for our groat
Constitution Convention, tho Legis?
lature givo them tho printing, which
coats $10,001) moro than Selby
charged, that is if tho Legislature
sots for two months; but tho extra
given to Denny & Co. will bo $20,000
if the Legislaturo sets for four
months, and Governor Orr said that
it had to set that long. Our fellows,
you see, don't pay any attention to
their own Constitution, for that says
that all such work should bo given
out by contract. Selby is a Demo
erat, so bis bid was not noted on. To
tell von the truth, I think the State
would have saved much money by
making Selby State printer. I went
to his printing office, and think ho
has a fine office. I never saw print?
ing done be'ore. They have little
iron spikes, with letters on them
upside down; hut when the paper
comes out the letters are all right.
The little iron spikes aro all put in a
kind of tray about half the sizo of a
dinner-tablo; then they put ink on
and run paper over it in a thing like
a sorghum mill; then the paper
comes ont next morning with all that
we do in the Legislature aud a good
deal more. I gathered up a handful!
of the spikes standing up in tho
trays to look at them, but a boy they
call the devil told mo I had made a
pie out of the whole concern. He
fixed them all back right, butl think
ho must bo a kind of devil to know
how to do all that. One reason I
wanted Selby to get thc printing is,
that the less wc spend for printing,
the more chance of my getting my
six dollars a day. I wish thcro was
twenty days in a week, and I wish I
lived 5,000 miles oft'. What with
pay and twenty cents a mile, it
counts np. I am sorry for these
Richland County members; they
dou't get a ccut for mileage. Six
dollars a day is poor pay anyhow.
Tho day beforo tho great Union
Senate election, I went out riding in
a carriage with three white members.
They invited mo so fricudly, I
thought I was riding free; but next
day they come on mc for ono dollar
my sharo of the ride. I paid up;
but next timo I know better. I
would rather walk all day than pay a
dollar. Tho sun is powerful hot;
tho members sit iu thc house in
their shirt-sleeves, which aro not
decency but is comfortable. The
colored members look well; they
dress better than white people; all
wear collars made out of paper,
white and nice, but fall to pieces in
tho wash. I did not know any bet?
ter, Sw I gathered up a dozen and
went to washing them, but in no
limo they looked like chawed paper.
Our colored members feel their dig?
nity; every man has an umbrella,
besides a walking-stick; every man
writes his name on tho handle of Ins
umbrella. The white members, aud
some colored too, is great on bor?
rowing, and forgets to bring them
back.
You must excuse mc for writing so
much, but I have not yet learned
what tliey call here condensing your
argument. I want to tell you about
the penitentiary and the Statehouse,
and a lot of other places. I will got
to all them in time. To-day is Sa?
turday; House don't meet; holiday
Saturday and Sunday; pay goes on
all tho same. Wo aro going on
slowly and sure; no hurry; all tho
year before US. Expect to adjourn
in November; go home for a week,
so as to draw the twenty cents a
mile, and como right back and go on
regenerating this glorious South
Carolina. 1 feel ashamed sometimes
about this pay business and doing
nothing, but they say it's all right.
They say go on with your great
work; make baste, but make liaste
slowly. Governor Orr himself says,
in bis groat message, that wo will bo
here four months. The late Gover?
nor is a funnj'man; he don't seem
to come out; ha is no Democrat and
he aim, iu thc Republican party yet,
though ho must want to bc. We
havo him on trial now; maybe you
will hear moro of him when the
judges' election comes on. I wish I
could voto as I wanted to, but tho
voico of tho party is to bo followed;
the motto is "our party, right or
wrong." You know I was always an
honest man, like my mother and
father wcro beforo me. I tell you,
honored sir, our party is moro often
wrong than right. I will try to keep
to bo a Republican, but it is hard
for an honest man like mo. If I
should turu Democrat, I am safe in
tho Legislature nov.*. I have took
the oath, and they can't turn mc out.
Whatever happens, I will bo truo to
honesty. I will stand firm, though
every shingle on Mr. Postmaster
.Tanney's Hall was a devil. Please
look after my faithful dog, Koon
Catcher. It is ail I pay taxes on,
and I value tho animal.
Your truo friend,
GEO. WASHINGTON MILLEU.
