CGWMBiA, ?. e. Sund *y Moraine:, February 97? 1870. Hoathcrn Rtgcncratlnn. Deplorable as the condition of the Southern people haa been made by the unnatural scheme of radical reconstruc? tion, not for one moment, not at the darkest period of our darkened fortunes, have we despaired of the coming relief. Conqoored by the sword, and by tho sword reconstructed, if there bo penco now, it ia the peace of resignation, and if there bejaleoce. it is the silence which might oossirsin?. No genuino {Southern white man, be he rieh or poor, be he of native or foreign birth, cati lay his hand upon his heart and nay that he freely* accepts the condition of things aa fixed by tho edie ts and arrangements of radi* calism in the Sooth, is is. an outrage that the intelligence, the virtue, the ability - and the capital of the South should bo so little represented and so mach ostracised. It is an outrage that the Representatives of the South should be such aa they are in Congress. It is an outrage that that onr State Legisla? tures, State Executives and other State ofBoers should be such as, in many cases, they are. It is an outrage upon decency and ike boasted civilization of the times, that??ch a miserable set of little, weak, corrupt, and ignorant men should lord it over thia State and other Southern States. Bot thanks to the irresistible laws of human affairs and the corrective influences of time? this abnormal, illogi? cal, unnatural ?tate of things cannot last long. No. Wo speak the sentiments of the rising power bf the growing Sooth, when we say, that it SHALL HOT last long. Not long since, the present Governor ol South Carolina, was reported as saying, very bravely, that tho "carpet-baggers' from the North had come here to stay, and did not intend to be driven away. This is very well. Let them n??y, and when they come like other people, tc wornt for their living, there will be nc objections to their sojourning in th< land. But let Gov. Scott and his part understand this, too-that the sons o: the soil in the South ore equally resolver! to stay here, and intend, just as soon ai they can, to have that share in mouldinf the destinies of their country, to whiol they are entitled by nature and nature' Gol There are generous men in the North of the Democratic party, and many o the Republican party, who are begin ni nj to appreciate fully the indignities an< outrages which have been inflicted upoi the Southern whites, and with thei help, we expect, ere long, to cease beini made the prey of the "carpet-bagger, the "scalawag" and the African. No do we think that the time is far distan when a man may be "loyal" to the Soutl and at the same time be regarded a "loyal" to the Government and the fla of a restored Union. The white popula tion of the South have been badly deal with, but soon will this be remedied Let no man despair of the future of hi section. Lord Bolingbroke was right "A wise and brave people cannot be pei manently cheated or bullied out of thei liberty." Let the South be wiso in il political moderation and its industrii activity; let the South bo bravo in its ac herence to its honest convictions of il rights and its duties, ann its early futui will illustrate the proposition of the Eng lish statesman. Oar article is headc "Southern Regeneration." Let us as how, in a word, this is to be accomplisl ed? We answer: By much WOKK, rath< than by much TALKING. Thus, wo ai brief. Fallen from lils High. E'tate. Mr. B. F. Whittemore, recently e: pelled by a unanimous vote from tl United States House of Representative was the prince of the Congression "carpet-baggers," as we have been ii formed. No voice was louder than hi no one more arrogant and self-importan through tho noso of no other New Eni land representative from the South, d "loyalty" pour moro freely. But win he thought "good, easy man," fu sorely his greatness was ripening, the came a frost, a killing frost, and ho ft the victim of "filthy lucre." And ho "representative" from South Carolin and he a minister of tho Gospel! and high priest in the temple of KADICALIS: And to think that his brother H?ge, wi entered clandestinely the hall of Co gress, and purloined tho mantle of h successful competitor, should have vol for his expulsion. This was "baso i gratitude"-tho "unkindest cut of all We congratulate tho Second Congre sional District. It may do better, can soarcely do worse than when it se tho Rev. Whittemore to Congress. A thns passes from the stago one of t most "loyal" men who came South , ..reconstruct" ns-one of the most n r lignant enemies and traducers of t native whites of South Carolina. "The mills of the gods grind slowly, But they grind exceedingly small." ? i-..1 , ll j I .ll li I DI gj ,1 ? Emperor Napoleon of rebel? against his au thority^ compared to tho severo penal? ties infuqfed xxpm thf ??he e1as&>under former lHgns, wen (MHith or ijo^riscm ment foj? life wmp nntirog the penalties serred^nt for 'jgreconcilablfv/'as pne^ of the runny illustrations that Napoleon HT appreciates the spirit of the age in which he lives, as well in its progress in humanity as in liberal ideas, and that no ruler of ' men understands . better the policy of a wise domeney. ? Insurrec? tionists who have been arrested with arms in their hands have been punished with only three br four months' im? prisonment. Even Gustavo Fl ou re un, (who is still at large,) known to be the leader of the rebels, receives a sentence of but six months' imprisonment anda fine of 200 francs. Whon we bear in miud that plots for the assassination of the Emperor aqd Prince Imperial are, lt is said, proved to have been among the dork designings of the "irreconcilables," these sentences appear but a mere baga? telle, and will be regarded by many per? sons to lean too mach on the side of mercy. Tho New York Journal of Com? merce justly remarks that neither Eng? land nor the United States "would in? flict so light and nominal a chastisement upon insurgents caught in their acts. It is true that this gentle mode of dealing with rebels may not suffice to assure the continuance of the empire and tho personal safety of Napoleon, but if it does not, still less could those ends be effected by extreme severity. That has been thoroughly tried in past ages and other countries, and proved utterly im? potent to its purpose. Men are more easily led than driven. At all events, it indicates a consciousness of power when the Emperor dismisses rebels against his authority with supreme indifference. Negro Emigration. As timo passes, the fact becomes more certain every day, that the negro popu? lation of the Atlantic States is being re? moved to the West. This movement, whioh began in Virginia, is being gra? dually, but surely, communicated ta North and ?douth Carolina. Some plant? ers of the South-west having Succeeded in obtaining hands in this section, others have been encouraged to try in the same quarter. During the entire winter, agents from States West of us have been coming and going", and few returned to their homes unaccompanied by some whom they had hired. We know, personally, bf several instances ol this kind, and We see frequent notices ol Bimilar movements elsewhere. The Charleston papers mention a con? tract drawn up last week, for a numbei of colored laborers to work on a large plantation in Alabama. The Charlotte Observer says that over 100 negroes have been hired and moved to Georgia within the past month, from Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, and estimates the whole number of able-bodied colored men who have left the County at 300. There are other facts showing what the agents of other States are doing in tb it work; but we cannot recall them just now, In addition to the emigration of ne? groes, the State is also losing by tho re? moval of whites, going West. Thi? drain upon our population has beec going on for some time, and there is s very slight immigration to replaco tin loss. So fur as political result is cou cerned, the relative position of tho bind and white voters has not been materially affected yet, though the black majority has probably been somewhat reduced, Out-the reduction is likely to go on foi several reasons. Aa a rule, white met do not move, unless they have some capitul to begin on in their new location The negro, on tho contrary, is hired as ? laborer before ho leaves the State, ant his expenses aro paid by his employer. The likelihood is that|the negro-voting majority will steadily decrease from yea; to year, until it disappears. This is f matter worthy the consideration of th? Legislature. They cannot hope to im port negroes to keep up the present (ant decreasing) voting power. Nor hav< they any reason to expect whito imn.i gration, so long as the main end of theil legislation is to give the colored popula tion every advantage over tho whites White men, in search of a home, oven i they are of tho most violent negro-loviuj school, are not going to settle in a Stat, whero the negro element rules. Th i fnot has been clearly proved since tin war. Why has not South Carolina beet filled up with those abolitionists who tall so glibly about negro equality? It i simply becauso they don't want to eujo; the blessings of negro rule. The fov who have como, did so with tho hope o getting, by using an inferior race, tha political power which they could neve dream of getting at homo. What ono o them can point to any distinction he eve rose to in his native State? The only alternative left the Legisla ture, if that body desires to moke tin State prosperous, is to legislato so as ti induce whito immigration, radical if the; can; but it must be white, for there is ni other to bo had. The mero election of i negro to the Supreme Bench will aot a a powerful check to immigration, espe chilly "loyal" immigration. \YorkviUe Enquirer. -?? ??

DESPERATE CASE OF LYNCHING IN ILLINOIS.-Thursday last, at Beards town, Illinois, n man namod Wilcox entered a saloon kept by Yeek Sc Becker, and, in a squabble, drew a revolver and shot Yeek dead. Ho then turned and fired at Becker, inflicting au ugly and dangerous wound. The murderer was arrested. On Friday, Yeek was buried, and there was a largo gathering at Bcardstown. Just after dark, a crowd of fully 500 gathered at the jail, entered and seized a prisoner whom they sup- j posed to bo the murderer, got a rope around his neck, and thou discovered ; that they had the wrong man. In tho meantime, tho murderer, who was in another cell and chained to the floor, I was made aware of tho designs of tho mob. He got possession of an iron bar, and, os tho lenders of the mob proposed ' to open the cell-door, he warned them that he would sell his life dearly. This resolute demeanor produced a chango of action, but did not defeat the purpose of the leaders. A pistol-shot through thc ! head of tho murderer killed him. Thc body was taken out of doors and hung 1 by tho neck to a tree. Was Noah Webster a prophet, or thc son of a prophet? Here is the definition of the word Grant: "To give over; to I make conveyance of; to give the posses? sion to or title of; to give; to bestow; to convey; to transfer; a gift; a boon."
