The following sensible talk comes from Knowlton, a northern man, and the editor of the Orangeburg A#r?, thoroughly Repub lican In politics. We know the people of the North thorough ly. That they .were to a certain extent jealous of the fiouth, la former dsys, we readily admit. That they are so now, we deny The ml*fagi??e? of the South. year*, have moved the minds of the gewert Oa l men of the North to kindlier feeling* to wards their brothers who are nearer the sun. They see, with infinite regret, that party which originated in t'ie nobleet and purest of princples is oontroled among Cs by the most base and currupt of all bases and corrupt politicians. And our Northern friends demand, as they have a right to demand, that the party whose foundation and success have ooet them such treasures of time, of money and of blood, shall not be disgraced and rained by those for whoee welfare and to obtain whose freedom that party had its birth. As General Elliot has said, the colored race la on trial ia this State. Their friends at th* great North, East aad West are looking on with profound interest If a prompt and thorough change is made in our ad minstra tion, the credit for H will belong to the col ored people, and their friends will hail ths change with plea* ur*. But they will just ss certainly be held responsible should th* pres ent infamous state of affairs oountinue. We say to the colored p*opl* of this State that th?ir high*st and b?*t int*reet demand an immediate and thorough pursfication of the Republican party in South Carolina. For th? Ktrihiw Ouettt.

I wonld advise yon, as I would every one who is looking k>f ia new field for opora tions, to came South. Wo have all the ad vantages of a new oountry with tke addition of many others whiok constitute tke civili sation, refinement aad culture of populous and wealthy communities in tke world. And in this latter respect I do not believe that there is any part of4be South that has any advantage over Soutk Carolina. In a letter like this I cannot, of oourse, enter into de tails, but must apeak in general terms. There are here s thousand and X>ne ways in which an enterprising man may apply his industry and direct his energies, and with as gratifying results as in any other part ofthe globe. Beside*, we have as sweel a climate as the sun ever brightened. All that the South aeeds is an honest, enterprising, in dustrious, and intelligent population to make it the richest and fairest spot on earth. And now that slavery no longer spreads her dark pall over the land, there is no reason why she should not rapidly approach the high state wealth, power aad happiness that na ture's God has so richly endowed her with the means of attaining to. Now,-should you determine to cast your lot among us, let me advise yon to eschew the idea thrown out in your letter of obtain ing office. The public sorvioe has become so corrupt that it is almost impossible for a man to serve the State and maintain an un - blemished character. * Moreover, if strict honesty be observed, office-holding is the most unprofitable btyiaess a man can possi bly engage in. ' My <>wn experience, atleast, shows'tkat to be the feet. Throe years and aocepteg office under lh?|UM To-day I am 910,000 la debt, my property is utder mortgage, and I do not own a dollar's worth of property of any kind that I did not own when I tame into office. The tax books will show that 1 really owu lees, and 1 know that I have lived as economically as was con sistent with tha dignity of my position. It is true there are othtrs who hare boon more fortunate. Perhaps they are better man agers that I am. Bat, be that as it may, the South doesn't aeed office-seekers. It needs honesty, industry, enterprise and cap ital, and any man who will ooaae here armed witk any or all of these qualifications will find his labors as riekly rewarded here as in any other part of ths oountry, and as pleas ant a home and saaiacero friends.

A coonl i ng to the Courier-JomruaV t Washington correspondent, the great trou ble now is the disagreement bet * wen the friends of the measuas themselves. The oot (on factors insisted upon baring the money to be refunded paid to the parties holding the reoeipts for the tax paid. Many of the planters did not acquiesce ia this procedure, and so toe matter fell, as it were, between two stools. The present state of affairs is thus represented by the correspondent refer red to At this time, several scbemee are pending. One offered by Couke, of Georg'a, propones to give the money to the Mates ia which it was collected, which would probably be a vary agreeable solution of the question to the ne groized Legislature of Mississippi, South Carolina ud Leuisana. Another bill, offered the other day by Mr. MoKoe, corresponds with the old bill of last season, whieh pro posed to pay the persons holding the reoeipts foi taxes paid.?y?w4erry UermlH The best and the honest Republicans ofthe 1 State want reform ; the national party is getting tired of oornaption ; Northern pre judiee la vanishing ; the negro would do bet ter if a kinder aad alner haad led him, and the people are fceggiaing to see that the true poliey is not to stand aloof.
