Many of them had been -work- 1 ing steadily in tho field, but abandoned their employers without leave or warning. No public notieo of this new prank was taken by - tho white people of tho district; but Hutson LoinaJ:, a colored member of the I TwP<rialn nnrl ? w ? ?. ? Vb.v.uw?iv} Itiiu auviuui |iruilliuuitt Radical, sent to Columbia an argent repuest that the order for the enlist* ment of the negroes should bo revoked, or at least suspended. This was we believe, the condition of affairs in Abbeville three days ago. Abbeville at that time that the enlistment Of negro soldiors began, was in a condition of profound pehco. The lawn, uncouth and anomalous as they arc, were being regularly exe. cutod. No colored man was treated -l " iiuiomj ur wvereiy. jwcry wlnte man was laboring stoadi-ly to improvo his position, and to forget, if possible, for a littlo while,' that the ancient commonwealth of Sotith Carolina was ruled by the emancipated slave, the vicious renegade, and the beggarly stranger. There "was no shadow of turmoil or Wrong in the wholo district. It is true that Governor Scott Iiuu uvnureu JVUOCVIHO to De lawless apd rebellious, and that an attempt had bcon made to suspend the writ of hulnas corpus in that district, and in Edgefield, Newberry and Laurens. But it w?r shown by his evidence in the contested Congressional Election that thd "Great Caltimnialor" was unable or unwilling! >to tell the truth where whito men were in question ; it was known the Legislature, while rejecting the habeas cot-pus resolution, had ?mthorised the Governor "to employ an armed force for tho "preservation of T>en.oo." n.n<l * ?, ;? ? I'?chase two thousand rifles} and it was hoped that the Governor, satisfied with the. possession of -Autocratic power, would not " hasty in its tise, But it'8Q? m? that -the lust of po\\;er and the love oft ?he negro bavo blinded Governor Scott, as it blinded others, who. now bewail thoir folly. Warping and exhortation have . been in vaiu. Governor Soott has gone from'bad to worse., Beginning witjh Radicalism iu a mild form, with hobnobing with negi'o men and gallantiug negro wenehpsj ho has rieen to the height of attempting to rule Ab. beville District by a baro half, himdred freedmen, And we' .can under* stand that a man of his calibre and fiotorious instability may .have be^n led to this tnftdQeps by thq very calmness and temperances of the people of the State.
