"There ure white men still disfranchised, and for them he now pleaded." "We had been generous and just to tho blacks; let us at least he just to the whites."

"The South had greatly Binned, but greatly suffered and repent? ed, and should be forgiven."

Davis, hi? action was not for the mau; it was au overture to the whole Southern people. Millions of men felt that act of kindness to their sec? tion. Eor their sake, he deemed it wise to da as he did."

Tj?B LETTEB OF Ex Gbv, CURTIN.-Ex Gov. Curtin, of Pennsylvania, in bis lotter announcing bin support of Hon. Churles B. Buckalow, D?mocratie nomi? nee for Governor, against Hartranft, tbe nominee of tbe Republican party of tbut State, wbilo non committal ou tbe Presi? dential question, is sharp and severe upon the subject of corruption in poli? tics, especially iu Pennsylvania. He says: The bud rule that has wholly compass? ed the ohanuols of political administra? tive authority in Pennsylvania is not of receut creation. It wus the tireless but impotent power that embarrassed tho action of the government, State and Na? tional, during the dark days of civil wur, and steadily ntruggled to gather advance? ment and gain from the bitter sorrows of the people. Six years ago it attainod control in our Stato. How it was achieved is remem? bered with humiliation by all. Why it was sought und wo.u our subsequent his? tory painfully demonstrates. The Republican organization has made its name illustrious in maintaining the unity of tho States and redeeming a con? tinent to freedom. It was seized in con? tempt of tho will of the people, and its victories perverted to licensed wroug. I need not recite how, nuder au honor? ed name aud flag, it has created wide? spread, indeed, almost uuiversal distrust of authority, aud made honest meu de? spair of integrity iu legislation, m elec? tions, in conferring legislative honors, and oven in the administration of public j usticc. These terrible aud steadily-growiug events iu our political rule have made the people demand the right to resumo their sovereignty, to make new safe? guards for themselves, but if the pro? posed convoution is to effect thorough reform, it must bo aided, not hindered, by the vast power of the Executive and other important State officials. If Mr. Buckalow shall be defeated aud a new lease of authority thus conferred upon tho despotic control that has long mis? ruled the commonwealth, it will he mar? velous indeed if the convention chosen in the partisan strife of a national con? test can afford auy substantial relief or protection to tho people. If Pennsylva? nia is to be restored to purity, the Go? vernment iu all its departments, as well as the convention, must harmonize fully uud earnestly iu the work of regenera? tion. Mr. Buckalew's confessed integrity and consistent devotiou tu reform duriug many yeurs of official service, gives tho best possible guarantees of honest ad? ministration and complete restraints upon corrupt or reckless authority, and his election seems to be demanded by every consideration of individual man? hood and fidelity to the honor aud ad vauccmout of tho Stute. If, as is claimed by desperate leaders iu Pennsyl? vania, to regenerate our State in Octo- , ber will affect tho national contest, a cause thus to be eudaugererl must bo wanting iu the most essential attributes of popular confidence. Actuated solely by a sense of duty to a j people whose devotion in time past fur- . nishes the most grateful memori?n of my life, I Bhall voto in October for honest government in our commonwealth, and meet tho Presidential issue, when it , comes before tho people, in accordance , with my long-settled convictions. I can? not a fiord to sacrifice a great contest for constitutional, legislative and adminis? trative reform, because a Presidential election is pending. To yield the ques? tion would give fresh victories for mis rulo, and muke tho effort for just fonda mental restraints either measurably or wholly abortive. ? GREELEY'S CHANCES BRIGHT AND STILL ' BRIGHTENING NORTHWARD. -A gentleman of observation and intelligence, writing under date of Hartford, Connecticut, September 22, thus expresses himself iu ' a political sense: In refereuce to political matters, I feel considerably encouraged, so far as I have ' proceeded. In New York almost every? body is for Greeley. I visited tho head? quarters in New York, of both tho Gree? ley and D?mocratie Committees, and had quite an iuteresting interview with the Hon. Augustus Schell and Hon. | ' Ethan Allen. They both spoke very hopeful of tho situatiou at present, aud expressed tho conviction that it would ' continue to improve as the time of elec? tion approached. Whilst iu New London, on Friday, I conversed with sevorul old and promi? nent citizens of tho place, who are like? wise confident of the success of Mr. Greeley, aud express warm sympathies for tho South generally, and especially for South Caroliua, after I told them of the wrongs we aro now suffering, and hnvo suffered since tho oloso of the wa-. To bo brief, I found but one Grant mau in New London, and he was a Custom House officer. A? soon as he told me ho was in the Custom House I excused him for his ardor for Graut. I find the same state of things here. All are hope? ful that the Stato will go for Greeley, by a email majority, at least. -"-? Jesse Pomeroy, fourteen years old, re? siding with bria mother in South Boston, has been arrested for decoying boys of five to ton years to out-of-the-way places, stripping, them naked, gagging and tying them up, beating and othorwiso mal? treating them. In many cases ho out small uoles uuder his victim's oyefl, dis? figuring them for lifo, and inflioting on others painful outs and stabs on various parts of the body. He confessed the orimes, and was souteuced to the Reform School at Westboro during his minority.

THE STRONGEST MAN-OF-WAR AFLOAT. Tho Loudon Daily News' speoial corres? pondent at St. Petersburg, writing on tbe 2Stb ult., says: Yesterday tho sea? going turret ship Peter the Great was launched from the Admiralty dock-yard. Tho vessel recoived its name from the Grand Duke Constantine, in the pre? sence of a great concourso of people. In a few days she will be lifted into a float? ing dook, which will bo towed, with its enormous burden, over the shullows to Croustadt, where the engines will be iitt ml, the ship's sides and turret sheathed with massive plates, tho fuur great steel oannou shipped, aud iu less tbun a year's time Itussiu will have at sea by far tho most powerful man-of-war yet built. The vessel has been designed by Admirul Popoff. His ship difiera, in many re? spects, from the American and English turret ships. The Peler the Great is 329 feet 8 inches in length between per? pendiculars. Her greatest outside breadth is 63 feet. The builder's mea? surement is 5.352 tons, and tho displace? ment with coal, stores, and water in the boilers will be 9,6(35 tous, ut a moan draught of 23 feet 9 inches. The plateB ou the ship's sides and raised building amidships vary from 12 to l l iuches, aud the u.-mor-plate protects the ship to a depth of 6 iuches below tho water line. Tho vessel has no spur, but tho upright stem is heavily plated aud of enormous streugth. Mauy sailors uro of tho opi uiou that the spur may be a source of danger to the vessel fitted with it, and that the strong straight stem of tho Peter the Great will deliver a most effect? ive blow, with little or no risk to her? self. The shin has two large turrets, which are plated with 16 inches of iron, in two thicknesses, of 14 und 2 inches, She has no masts, but depends eutirelj on her engines. Poon MEXICO -Tho death of Juure; appears lo have had little effect iu calm iug the turbulence which bas bccomi apparently chronic and incurable ii Mexico. This fact shows how false wai the statement of the revolutionist ieud ers, made ut the outbreak of the r?volu tiou, that they were in revolt onl; against Juurez, and that the elevation o Tejada to the Presidency would sutisf; them. The truth is that these Mexicai revolutionary bands are for the most par merely predatory hordes. They are s many highwaymen. Their object is th levying of tribute. They are us totall devoid of patriotism as they are of ren bravery. Ostensibly fighting under th banner of Tejada, or Diaz, they aro i reality detached parties of free-bootei aud robbers, from whom tho unprotecl ed peasants of the country, as well a the mei chants of the towns, can expec uothiug but plumier and outrage. Thor can be, eventually, but one result froi this state of affairs. These outlyin Northern districts, too far from tl capital to be easily reached, and tc thinly settled and too mountainous tot easily subdued, will fall ultimately inl the hands of the United States, upc whose border mauy of them lie, and I whoso inhabitants they are a perpetu source of annoyance. An Annapolis letter says: "The c lored cadet appointed to the Naval Ac demy by Congressman Elliott, colore of the Third District of South Carolin arrived iu this city on Saturday, and r ported to Commodore Wordeu, Sup tendent of the Academy. The name the cadet is James Henry Couyere. I wus boru iu South Carolina, October 1855, is of good form, has a complexii about browned coffee color, with t usual curly hair of bis race, and stau about five feet threo inches. He was i ceived very kindly by Commodore \V< den, who told him, if admitted, he mi treat all with politeness, and the sat would be showu to him. The cadet w accompanied by bis friend, Mr. A.

TnE MILITARY SYSTEM OP PRUSSIA. There is another and a darker side to the military glory of Prussiu. The glittering tinsel of parade, the beating drums, the waviug flags, tho bedizened oflloers, are a spirited show, but tho pleased and ap? plauding spectaturs have only soon the play before, tho curtain-a glorious pa? geant marching across tho boards. Be? hind tho scenes, ere yet tho curtain bas riseu, tho trugedies arc often played to fewer spectators and in more obscure theatres. Oue poor mao, Herman Na? gel, has just committed suicide iu Eng? land, rather than go hack to Prussia to conscription and a military service wherein tho reoruit is subjected to pun? ishment for tho slightest offence. Oon ilncmunt fura whole week, iu total dark ness, with nothing to Hu down upon but the bare floor, is common. To suspoud the offender by tho thumbs is by no means raro. Ono of the last nets of the present Reichstag was to reject a motion for the abolition of this last brutality. Further than chis, ut this moment, whole districts of Germany are being rapidly depopulated; there are villages left with? out a Bingle inhabitant; in fact, so seri? ous is the evil that tho Government is said to'bo meditating the most energetic measures for its suppression. Thou? sands are flying from a country iu which, however great may be its prestige abroad, tho citizen has virtually no rights, aud the most vexations obliga? tions. Modern Prussia consists, in fact, of an immeuso army and an immense bureauocrucy, with the ordinary civilian running the gauntlet between the two. That is the statement of the other 6ide of Prussian aggrandizement made by its opponents. Though exaggerated, tbore is probably a great deal of truth in it. DEATH OF SENATOR GARRETT DAVIS. Senator Garrett Davis, as has been stated, died ut his Kentucky home on Suudny. He was born iu that Stato in 1801, and while yet a boy, was employed ns a writor for tho Oouuty and Ciranit Courts of tho District. Beginning in 1833, be was for three successive terms elected to the State Legislature; from 1839 to 1847, he was in the lower House of Congress, and since 1861 ho had rep- ; resented bis native State in tho United States Senate. His second term in that body would have expired on the 4th of March uext. Mr. Davis was originally a Whig, aud was one of the most inti? mate personal and political friends of Henry Clay. At the outbreak of the war, ho sided with the South, and was one of its few advocates on tho floor of tho Senate. An upright and amiable gentleman, holding fast to the land? marks of the past us his guides for the present, and thoroughly earnest iu ad? vocating such views in Congress ia the face of un overwhelming majority, Mr. Davis will leave behind him the memo? ries of an honorable public life. OUTRAGE ON A COLORED GREELEY SPEAKER.-We learn that on Monday night last, Lewis Washington, of Wy the County, a colored Greeley speaker, visit? ed Marion for the purpose of making a speech. A considerable crowd assem? bled to hear h'va, aud soon after he com? me; ced bis o ldress, a crowd of about | fifty negr?~ gathered around the stand aud w?*' ad and bitter oaths ordered b**" ..e.sist.

Tue mob continued to throw stones, when several of the whites drew their pistols asd tired into the crowd, not, however, wounding any one. The negro mob finding that Washington would be protected, dispersed, and the speaking proceeded without farther in? terruption.-Lynchburg News. STEAMSHIP ACTIVITY.-The activity now prevailing in the movement of freight betwoeu Charleston aud tho vari? ous Northern ports, is unprecedented iu tho history of the city. AU the lines of steamers uro overcrowded with business, nud tho vessels of tho Adger lino are doing almost doublo duty, being turned about nud forwarded just as soon us it is possible to take in their freight. Tho Charleston arrived yesterday after a smooth and quick passage, bringing per? haps the largest steamship loud ever brought iuto this harbor; and tho Man? hattan sails to-day at noon. Immense frei gb tB aro being carried by these ves? sels both ways, and, ns for passenger ac? commodations, we can do tho visitors to the North no greater kiuduess than to recommend them to tho courteous at tcutiou of Capt. Woodhull aud his ex? cellent officers.-Charleston News, 25/7*. Tho "riot" at Orangobarg, on Sunday last, grew out of an attempt by Jamison, a legislativo member of the riug, to pro? veut Messrs. Tomliuson, Davis and others from speaking. There was so largo a crowd present to liston to tho speakers that tho ring peoplo got frightened, and resorted to their usual rowdy tactics to break up the meeting. Although there was considerable scuffling and noise uo one was seriously injured. The ring, as usual after such displays, lost ground whioh can nevcrbe regained. Orangeburg County is now considered safe for the "True Blues.". [Charleston Republican. SUICIDE.-The Newborn Times says Anson Tolson, nt Hatteras Inlet, on tue 14th inst., committed suicide by shoot? ing himself through the head with ague. Ho told his father in tho morniug, that ho intended to kill himself, and at 2 P. M., ho proceeded to the beach and ac? complished his purpose, iu sight of n number of young ladies, who happened to bo near at tho time. The supposed causo was that he was crossed in love.
