EDWARD BAILEY. January 12, 1S70. Judge A. B. Longetreet in the XXX Century?He Replies to Got. Perry's Berninlscenoe of Mr. Oalhoun. In the January number o^the XIX Century, Judge Lo.NtjrraaeT has reviewed the brief notiee of Mr. Calhouh by Gov. Pan- < av that appeared seme months ago, and has done K with more bitterness and harsh nets than we cooM have expected. We always thoaghl that tliere were points ta Got. rxaava reminiscences of tlia (treat Carolinian that were open to just ei'Hieism, but we are stalufied Uiat Got. rtut did not write anything out of rheiished 111-will or unkindness to Mr. Calhoun's memory, aa Judge Long.tceet supposes. The charges of inconsistency?aspirations for Uie Presidency to liia dying moments?have been made so much and so often by Mr Calhoun's political opponents, that their repetition by Gov. Psrrv revealed nothing new, and nothing that Mr. Calhoun nnd his friends had not answered or essayed to explain long ago. It is evident, therefore, that all that there ia of a political nature In Gov. PaaRv'a hrief article, required little notice or comment. There is one point or argument?if we so call it?in the article, where Gov. Prrby seeks to fnsten the charges of inconsisten cy against Mr. Calhoun, not criticised by Judge Lokostrket, that struck us aa the lamest thing in it. Mr. Calhoun advocated the war of 1812, and did not advocate a war with England on the Oregon question ; this Governor P. points to as proof of the charge of inconsistency, whereas, it proves only that Mr. Calhoun was too wise and great a man to go to war with England with out cause or reason, because thirty years before, lie urgod a war which was justified by - themost aggravating circumstances. Gkorgk Washington and every other great and wise man, has shown the same inconsistency^?We believe that most, if not all, the depre-4 ciniing charges against John C. Calhoun, that some of his cotemporaries have made, will be dissipated by time, like the harmless dew from a block of adamant, and leave his fnmo as a wise statesman and the pro ^mndest and most sagacious of political phi Ibsophers imperishable. Gov. Perry, it is evident, did not design any elaborate article on Mr. Calhoum ; and in recording a few personal reminiscences and giving an expression to charges of inconsistency, and whieh his political opponents have hold as justifiable. Governor P. neither felt sny private animosity or intended any injustice to that great man. We regretted the allusions of Governor P. to Mr. Calhocx's religious opinions. It is very difficult to decide questions of that hind for others. Practically, Mr. CauiOus fulfilled the moral Christian duties, save in the open projection of faith and practice of religious wotehip, and he did this more pnnctilliously than multitudes who do make die probation, and who attach themselves to a Chiietisn ehurch. The conversation Between Major S. A. Towns* and Mr. Witham Caukcm?the repetition of which by Governor P. we thought not in good taste*-most have occurred twenty years before the death of Jon* C. Caliicpw ; and, to make the most of it, only gives evidence that he had at that time skeptical opinions in some matter* of Christisn faith, either expressed or in/oned hy hit brother, and it is manifest, that they wera never intended to be published to the world?and, as wc think, ought nol to hare been. . Jiulire Loaoarnnr is entirelv mistaken in Hying that Mej. 8. A. Towxxa wm a ton in law of Mr. William Calhoun. It wm Dr. IIcvrt H. Towns*, now an alder brother, that maried the daoghtor of Mr Wm. C , whoee name is given by Judge L. Both brothers wore alwaya devoted Mends and admirers of John C. Calhoun, and sqoaliy incapable ot doing bias intentional injustice. Major 8. A. Town as waa doubtless greatly tnrprised to aes bia nans pnblished in connection with Mr, Cauioun's religions opinion* in the first instance, and, we think, hs has reason to sotopUIn of the harshness of Judge L.'s remarks on the subject. We know tlist his estimate of John C. Calaoun ia of the same exalted ebaraslsv as that expressed by Judge Loxoaranar. At the time Governor P. waa ewe of the leaders ef this titais in opposition to the )*>llltcal principles.ol Mr. fihtusotnt, R. A Towns# was editing a newspaper at ?mwilling to condudethu notice of Judge Ii?honmt'? ufllole without ?y lag something more In reply to hi* charge* or malignity against Oor. P??. lie does this gtMlcmnn grant injustice, as we are well satisfied. Governor P. Las always entertained and rxprcM-td J*ls own 'political opinions decidedly and independently, and assailed in lika manner the opinions oi those tW? whom he differed. But lew men ksvs shown greater readiness and fanility in lorgelling past differ on eee, and in polli)cn4 hmftlliUfis kit pon siiiiirJrc frig latMt, (ha Warm wppsrtcr of tha promotion of old politiaal opponents wherever *hd whenever the questions of difftrenae were not involved, and liaa always shown himeeit ready M to bury the hatchet" after the fight was over, lis was no opponent ol Pecaeslon, but nobly sustained the struggle after it commoneeif, and remains ereet and firm against alt measure* nimad at |ha honor nod interest of his Slate, and is one ol the yet unforgiven frionds of the Sooth and of the old Constitution. There is ono strik iog proof of llboralliy of mind ssd of superiority to party malioo that was afforded by Gov. Psaay during bis provisional Governorship In Soath Carolina, that ie altogether conclusive. If ha bad eotertained- I he littleness or bitterness of old party feeling, he then had the power of ahowing itj instead of doing so however?having power to strike down all, by a dssh of the pen?he eonfirmed in their offices every men Prom tbo highest judical officer down to the humblest officeholder, in the State, without rognrd to previous party affiliation or old differences; Differing from GeV. Pwrrt, M we have done in times past, ant? *s we stiU do en some matters of 9tate policy and in the construction of the law as Well as in regard to Mr. Calhoun, we do nothing more than justice in defending his motives,from the imputations cast upon them by Judgo Loxostrkkt's article.

On Thnrsday, fth. tha principal portion of tha day wai consumed in a apiritad difcU'tion on a bill to regulate the ?alo of cotton-? participated In by F-riter, of 8omter, for the bill, and Tomlinson, DeLarge and other*, in oppoeilion. Tlia principal pur* port of the bill wee to piorent the atealing and selling of ated ootton, but ita provisions ware considered imperfect, and tha enacting elauae waa stricken out. T>n Friday, 7th after the morning buineee waagooa through with, a bill for tha better protection or laborer* working under contract, end the appointment of a Commissioner to eupcrvise the same, waa diaauaeed until tha House adjourned. Of all the delicate subjects that ever came before a legislative b >dy, this in the moat difficult, to make a law that will be ear:led out in good faith by both parties contracting. Tho Labor Convention raemorallxed the Leglatature to do something more for the laboring man. All has been done that can be dona to a?eurs the payment of wages and prevent fraud.? The preeent bill contains no new feat ore, except the appointment of a Commissioner of Contracts?which duty is new performed by the Magist-atee?which i? more convenient, and wilf meet tha ends of juMie* better, than to glva tha whola supervision to one man. Tha only benefit that! aaa to ha derived from this bill, it will giva soma man in each Couyy a paying offiee at the expense' of live wroorer and employee.

Any A at that may ba passed that would he ooaeiiiutional law, will'oply be a repetition?in spirit?of what has already been done, and in all proliahilily do more harnrlhaa good ; for In our seal to do something for the bet* Ur protection of labor. we are H?bl? to over do. I believe that ve now hare the beet laws for the protection of labor of any State In the Union The Mechanics Lien Law give# him a prior IWn in preferenae to nil mortgage* and yudgroenta.

I( magistrates will de their doty, and enforce the present law, there is no poasibls chance to evade tha payment of wages, it the contract haa been faithfully p -rformed. The Legislature cannot maka contracts for the laborer or set the pries that must be re c*>ived for labor. Every free oiliaen mnat do this for himself, especially in a Republican Government. Pi ices and quality of labor must, in soma degree, be regulated by forming Union Labor Proleolive Associations in every County and Township. . In ya'p may we boast ot the national resources of our Stale, the productions of our soil; for how are these to be developed un til ws have better paid labor, and better labor. Chrap labor is a humbug and a curse to any country, and never can tn*kt a prosperous people. Saturday, 8ih, a Bill for the better protection of Migratory Fish, received it* third reading in the House. It is no douht frosli in the memory of some of the ettixens ol Greenville, when shad and other migratory fish were pleolihil in all the larger streams of our County. This luxury has been denied to us for several yrars by the ereetioo of dsms and other impediments in the waters below us. The object of this bill is to appoint some suitable parson to see that three obstructions are removed, and to take such oilier stepe m will b? necessary for the reproduction of migratory flab in all lite principal water course* of Ilia Stale. "A Bill for the better protection of Incur ance Polices has become a law. and is, ac doubt.? good law for the financial i a tar est of the 8tete, aa one of its provisions compel! tbe insurance company to invaat, o their capital stocks, at Uast fifty thouaem dollars in tha bonds of the Stat*.

The taxes for Stat* purposes here, by *.hia Act, been reduced one third, and it t* honed that the County Commissioners will find that taxes for County purposes uan alto l?o reduced onethird ; they have the discretion in the mat ler, and are presumed to know better what will be necessary than the Legislature: hence, we have given them sufficient iati tude so as not to trammel them, or eauas tliem to be rmharraseod by debt. It is genrally believed, that two mills will be suffi efent for all County expenditures for Greenville. If so, then tha tax for the preeent year will be iuat seventy cents aa the hundred dollars for State and County expenses : and when we have obtained a fair and equal valuation, what the County Board sf ??? i- i i - 1 : i^iinumiivu iv niru % wwk now to ?fcur?, and I hope they will pot ceaee their labor, if it tehee ihem month or elx weeke to accomplish the work of equalization.

I Let Common Sense Deeide. What la ths rational mode of procedure | in mms of general debility and nervous ' prostration ? Dors not reason tell ns that ' Judicious stlmnlal ion is required. To resort ' to violent purgation In sticli a eaae Is as absurd aelt would be to bleed a starving man. Yet It is done every day. Yea. thia stupid ' and no philosophical practice la continued ' in the teeth of the great fact that physleal 1 weakness, with all the nereoas disturbances J that accompany it, is more certainly and re* [ pidly relieved by HOSTETTER'd 8TOM1 ACIr BITTERS than by any other medielne 1 at present known. It is true that general debility is often attended with to*pidity or irr regnlnrity of the bowels, and that this synop torn must not be overlooked. Hot while the discharge of the waste matter ef the system | ie expedited or regulated, i<a viper mutt be recruited. The Hi iters do both. Thev comr bina aperient and antUbilieoa properties, ' with extraordinary toole power. Even ' while removing obetruetions from the bow ' els, they tone and Invigorate those organs. Through the stomach, upon which the great vegetable speeiis acta directly, it gives s ' healthy and permanent impetus to every enfeebled fnnetion. Digestion ie facilitated, the faltering circulation regulated, the Idood reinforced with a new accession of ths all mentary principle, the nerves braced, ai d all ths dormant powers of ths systsm roused into healthy action ; not spasmodically, ee would be the ease if a mart stimulant wars administered, but fur continuance. It Ie la this way that such axtraordinary changes are wrought in the condition of the r feeble, emaciated and nervous invalids by the net of ikla wonderfnl noervetlvv, altera' live and tonie.
