Ac-Governor Perry, of South Caroli- 1

gives a graphic and deplorable picture ?
of the present condition and future t
prospects of the great Southern sec- c
tion of our country: \
Greenville, S. C., Jan. 19,18G8. r
0. JVr. Jiutler, Esq.?My Dear i
Friend: In your letter to my son you r
say that the Northern people arc not rJ
aware of the true condition of the ; i!
Southern States, and that you wish | i
me to write something on this subject i i
for publication. I am willing, as I v
always have been, to do anything and e
everything in my power to enlighten t
the Northern mind as to the frightful c
and appalling condition of the South, f
l>ut it does seem to mo that I can say I
verv little not already known, through o
^ ' ""I
the public press, to the whole rending : r
community. a
It is well known to the world that t
ten of the Southern States have been
stripped of every vestige of republican ! h
liberty, and placed, by the wicked i r
? and unconstitutional legislation of a ; n
Radical Congress, under a military ! v
despotism, for partisan purposes. It d
is equally well known that negro con- li
cntions havehecn ordered in all those a
States, for the purpose of establish- fi
ing in tliein negro supremacy. In ri
order to accomplish this, a very large j t
portion of the most intelligent, virtu- v
tuous and patriotic of the white race s
have been disfranchised, and arc b
hereafter to be governed by their
former slaves and unprincipled ad- o
venturers from the North ! These d
facts arc well known, and their con- a
sequences every intelligent mind may p
wbll anticipate. i<
When slavery was abolished in the tl
Southern States, if the people had is
been let alone in their State iegisla- .tl
tion, and restored to the Union, all j fi
would have been well. They would j tl
soon have recovered from their ex- j c
hausted and crushed condition, and f
been once move a happy and prosper- o
ous people. They would have added c
hundreds of millions annually to the v
"wealth of the republic, instead of cost- l
it, as they now do, a hundred million (
every year, through the Freed men's <1
Rureau and a standing army. Rut j Ii
the unjust, unconstitutional and sui- j e
cidal legislation of Congress has par- ; j
alyzod them forever, I fear. The tic- ii
gro is no longer that industrious, use- v
ful and civil laborer which he once 1
was, but an idle drone and pest to r
society. Inflated with his new and 1
marvellous political importance, he 1
has abandoned bis former industrious 1
habits, and spends his time in attend- 1
ing public meetings and loyal league 11
gatherings by day and by night.? 1.
The whole race seem disposed to quit t
their work and resort to the towns 1:
and villages, where they may eke out t
an idle and wretched existence in pil- t
fering and begging. v
The consequences arc that our fields
and plantations are uncultivated, the 1
f country pauperized, at the point of $
starvation, and filled with every grade j
of crimo. Not a day passes over our \
llpjjds that we do not hear of some ! t
flieft, house burning, robbery, rape or | s
fnurder. I will mention one or two in-. j
p. stances out of thousands which might! t
J>e enumerated: Five men, last week, i 1
in Darlington District, went armed i J
with guns, to a country store, robbed j (
the store, killed the clerk, shot a wo- J j
;Bian in the house, and went to the ! {
( ^dwelling of the oWner and killed hiin. i 1
A short since, a parcel of negroes! t
b pUced obstructions on the South Car-1 ]
L oliua Railroad, which threw off a train *
?. of car* in the night time. Again, j
at another point on the same road, \
.? parcel U i^roes fired into the ?
lr?ii trvd ec?? ?erj near killing 1
gc*?r?l passengers. Last Fall, at
Pickcqs court, seven or eight negroes <
|k '
were convicted of murder and seven-!
teen or eighteen ofhers sent to the
penitentiary. Highway robbery, an
offence which was scarcely ever heard
>f in South Carolina for years past,
lias become a very common crime h
the neighborhood of towns and villages.
Theft and burglary arc of
constant occurrence. In the country
t is almost impossible to raise hogs, I
diccp, and cattle. A gentleman told
no tlin ntlinr d-iv that he had lost the I
ast one of his sheep?forty in number?all
stolen by the negroes.?
tVnotlier gentleman who had been
Governor of the State, imurine I me
hat he had eighty-five hogs to kill
ast Fall, and that thev were ail sto
en by the negroes except seven.
The support of so many prisoners
md convicts in our jails and penitenia
ry is becoming alarming. We
hall not long be able to feed them;
lor will the prisons contain tlicrn.?
The country is so much impoverished
:hnt it is difficult for tlie negroes to
;et employment, if they really wished
o do so. The failure of the cotton
rop throughout the United States,
rith the government tax and low
trice of the staple, has rendered it
mpnssiblc for the planters to continic
their business the present year,
flic difficulty, too, in getting the ne;roes
to work during the past year
ios discouraged aud disgusted a great
c o o
iiany. A very large Cotton crop
i'as planted last Spring, and a great
ffbrt was made by the planters to r<jrieve
their fortunes and give employDent
to the negroes, but universal
uiiure and bankruptcy have ensued.
am not able to state the falling otT

In regard to the political condition <
f the Southern States I am in deep ]
espair, and have no hope except in i
returning sense of justice on the '
art of the Northern people. The '
lea of placing the government of '
licse States in the hands of negroes i
5 preposterously absurd. None of t
lieni have property, and not one in
vc hundred can read or write. In ;
he recent election for members of a
onvcntioa many of the negroes had
orgotten their names, and scarcely
ne in a hundred could tell after the
lection for whom tlmy voted. They
rcre controlled blindly by the loyal
eagties. The tickets were printed in
Charleston, with a likeness of Prcsi
lent Lincoln on them. There never j
ias been before such a wide field opend
for the demagogues and unprinei- j
led aspirants to office. The negro I

rorld, and most* easily imposed on !

Emissaries from the North, white and

tim against the white race. lie has j

iadiacl ticket he would be placed j
?ack in slavery, and that if he voted

he negroes actually brought with

villi.
By military order in South Caro- !
ina negroes arc to sit on juries. In |
ouie districts of this State the negro
lopulation is so much larger than the ,
vliite that they will compose almost;
he entire juries. How it will be pos- j
ildcto administer justice, with such j
uries, in complicated cases, is more
haii I can tell. I am equally at a ;
oss to know how the offices of the j
state are to he filled. The 4'iron clad .
>ath" excludes from office all who !
ire competent and worthy. This dif-j
iculty was foreseen by General Siccles,
and he requested of Congress
he removal of the 6ath. General
Meade has recently suggested the
iame thing in Georgia. It will be
mpossible for the negroes and the
worthless whites to 611 some of those
>ffices, or give the security required
it U^r.
Property of all kinds, and especially
re&l ?state, depreciated in value
one half or two-thirds during the pat
year. No one is disposed to purerals
anything, and foreign capital

here for investment. Prof)$SP'

The marshal of this State told me life
other day that he had sold a plantation..
well improved, containing f*8>
thousand acres, in Horry District^gn
public -auction to the highest bidd^L;
for five dollars. Mules brought on|y
five dollars apiece.
A great many persons are movipjg*
from the lower country, where ther?r
are so many negroes, and thatsectHSi
of the State is destined to becomegt
wilderness. The same thing mu$t
occur in many portions of Mississippi
and other States. A gentleman juAt
returned from Mississippi tells ntfe
that lands, which rented last year
for fourteen dollars per acre, were
now offered at two dollars per acre,
and no one would take them.
Unless there is a reaction at-tlw!
North, and better legislation for the
Southern States, they will be an in4
cubua to the Union, utterly destruC-Jj
tive of the whole republic. Tho present
military force will have to be
kept up to maintain peace between
the two races, and there is no certainty
of their ability to do ?o long.
I have for sometime thought that when
0 1
the negro government went into operation
it would be impossible to pre-,
serve the peace of the country. A
war of races must ensue, and it will,
be the most terrific war of extermination
that ever desolated the face of
the earth in any age or country.

Fm:i). Dowlas to ins People.?
fn a late speech at Akron, Ohio,
Fred. Douglas, addressing the colored
people, told them that the Gov-:
ernnic it emancipated the negroes as I
i mat ter of policy, and not froni any j
Christian motive of right or justiee^j
arid that they had no more reason to j
be thankful to the Government for
their freedom than had the Hebrews j
to feel thankful to Pharaoh for their '
deliverance from bondage. Douglas i
said that although it was possible
that, naturally, the colored men were
equal to the whites, they were not so
practically, and that they must rise
through their own exertions to a

before being allowed all the rights
and privileges of the white man. ile
added, that they were now on probation,
and if fifteen years hence found
them as they now arc, it would be
almost impossible for them to make
any advancement. Perhaps this advice
from an intelligent colored mr.n
may be received by bis race as the
counsel of a friend. It is certain
that the competition against which
they will have to contend for the
means of support, must increase, by
immigration, every year, whilst they
can rely on no such addition toth?ir
numbers, hut must make up for the
inequality by increased efficiency.?
The ignorant and degraded, of whatO
O *
ever color, must always he subject to
superior intelligence, ami it behooves
the colored people to reflect whether
those are their true friends who would
plunge them into polities without previous
preparation and training, or
those who would help to fit them, as
far as may be accomplished, for the
discharge hereafter of such duties as
may devolve upon them.

Sunday morning, we witnessed a
sight on the Greenville and Columbia
Railroad; a train of ears so heavily
freighted with cotton, that it required
three engines to move it along. One
engine pulling, one pushing and another

THUE DIGNITY OF LABOR.
.BY REV. EGBERT IIAYWOOD OSBORNE
OF TENNESSEE.
* Multitudes ofmen believe that the
necessity of Labor originated in the
apostacy of Adam and Eve, and
therefore the duty of labor grew out
of the evil of sin, and formed a portion
of the penalty of violated law.
With nrnfmirid rcsnect for the onin
.... , 5 - ,
ion's of men, we tr-ust it is with becoming
modesty, that we humbly beg
jiSnnissibir to differ from this hypothetical:
deduction of popular theology.We
believe that labor was the primal
law of mean's physical, intellectual,
and moral nature, and therefore essential
to the complete development
of all his powers. If labor was r.ot
necessary to the happiness, prosperity,
and triumphant success of mankind,
then infinite benevolence, and
ctcinal justice, would never have predicted
the greatest good of the human
family upon the sublime duty, and
invested it with a royal dignity. Sin,
is the transgression of law, labor is
the result of sin. therefore in violating
Divine law, man brought about
the necessity of developing his grandest
powers, for the good of humanity.
Such is the logic of that hipothesis
which declares that the jutccssity of
labor, was a Dart of the curse pro-1
" *""1 - ? , ,
nounccd by God upon man for transgressing
his holy law. God placed
an uiifaUcn Adam in the Garden of
| Eden, "to dress it and to l:ecp\t"?
-This could not have been done withl
out labor. "In the sweat of thy
I face thou shalt eat bread," no more
I implies the necessity of labor, than
fho otliicr duly to dress and keep the
garden of Eden. The amount and
(the ch iracter of the labor may have
been increased by the earth's producing
"thorns and thistles," but the
: o 1
necessity of labor was not the result
pf sin, because labor is necessary to
the development of all the powers of
the mind and body. The law of pro-'
gresaive development, rests forever |
wjkm<t-l?e law of labor. labor, no
[development, no laborer, no progrcsi-ivcness.
.It was a glorious inheritance
bequeathed by Divine Benev-j
olence to man, a high, and sacred j
' ^i- :..i.I
duty enjoineu upon uic jHiiaumnno </*
a primal Eden, and a fallen world
alike, to developc every power by the
obedience to the first grand law of
nature, the law of labor. The law'of
man's physiological, metaphysical and
moral organization. The law, without
which alt human progress, allcducation,
is worse than vanity. Indolence is
the depression of every power, the complete
prostration of every faculty,
producing physical weakness, mental
ignorance, and moral degradation;
poverty, ignorance and crime, are the :
necessary consequents of indolence j
and idleness. God never intended
man to he an idler upon earth, or he
never would have made him a subject
of law, and invested him with such
solemn and sublime responsibilities,
lie never would have made liiin a li-1
y bcl upon nature, a libel upon the al- j
mighty power which breathed into;
him the breath of life, and created j

Motion, action, progress, labor are |
the grand sources of human power, I
, the energies of his immortality, the ;
sources of his accountability to God, |
and his obligations to law. " Six i
(lays shalt thou labor," was no after
! considera'ion with God, who is the <
same yesterday, to-day and forever, 1
; from everlasting to everlasting.?!
There can bo no after conxideratioiis !
with God., who knoweth the end from i
the beginning. Divine actions, are:
O O '
certainly the results of eternal pur-1
pjses, founded injustice, and judgment.
No action of God grew up out,
of any human action, man's moral
actions never produced, or created in
the mind of the eternal God a new
purpose, or caused a change of God's
purposes, predicated upon a change
in man's moral actions. God therefore
knew; and knowing proclaimed,
thjc fact, that labor was essential to
the dignity of man's nature, and the
education of his powers. The bronzed
brow, and the toil worn hand of honest
labour, is a nobler offering, a richer
boon than the jewelled ? fingers of
that soft and effeminate foppery
which scorns the sun-buhrt cheek of
% ? ? 11 . | i _
manly toil, and the hard honest lanor.
That sickly exquiaition which vainly
strives to ape the royal gift of genius
and prates in lisping accents of pittifui
weekness, of the drudgery of
ceaseless and tireless application fills
us with pity Hoo profound for* words.
Labor alone will insure success; it is
the shout of victory. It knows no
such. word as fail. Its prophecf
arc triumphant utterances of succes
fulfilled, it may be through toil, ar
pain, but yet, fulfilled forever in tl
sublimest realizations of truth, tl
grandest convictions of duty.
Labor conquers all things. It dij
nifies and ennobles all it touches. .
strengthens the powers of th
and robes the intellect with vest^n
of beauty, crowns it with wisdom.In
every department illuminated b
its light, and dignified by its majc
ty we behold the triumphs of exce
lcncy. Genius, however brilliar.
may not divorce itself from thcoffe
ings of labor, or exile the might of i
power from the imperious dictates <
this irrepressible law of nature. Fai

A Mkeii Dies Counting H

bers of the Board of Supervisors, tl
particulars of the death of a vie
beggar in the village of Grccnbus'
named Fodorick W. Rowhl, whic
exceeds in dramatic interest any thir
we have read in a long time. Row;
came to Grcenbush a few weeks aj
clothed in rags, thin, emaciated, at
apparently half starved, looking tl
very picture of poverty and wrctchci
riess. J lis npparance was enough 1
excite sympathy and charity of ever

with age, his hair was whitened wil

miserable wretch secureds a room
a tenement house in the village, ar
was there attended for a time by
charitable lady, who brought hi
food and otherwise administered
his wants. Almost every day the o
man would beg in the streets, ar
with such good fortune that as oft<
as he sought alms he returned to li
hovel with well filled pockets. Nothir
was known by the villagers of thejhist
ry of the old beggar, butitwassuppc
: ed by all that he was what he secmd

more than a week ago, the old m;
disappeared. The door of his room w
fastened, and even the kind lady wl
had given him food knew nothing
his whereabouts. Thus matters we
on until Dec. 15, when the landlor
who had allowed Rowhl to occupy
room in his tenement, concluded
hurst open the door, little supposii
however mac in so aomg nc won
come upon the corpse of the old be
gar. But such was the case. Streteln
at full length on a little pallet
straw lay the dead body of the o
man. He had been dead apparent
more than a week, and from the ma
ner in which bunk notes, bonds, dc<*
cs and bank books were lvir.g upon the
s, i floor about him, it was evident the
id | beggar and miser had died in a strugle
! gle counting his hoarded wealth. In
le his bony fingers he held a bank book
showing a deposit of $700 in banks
2- at North Adams and Pittsfield, while
It two $50 bills served as a pillow for ,
y, his head, and deeds of property in
ts Pittsfield, Government bonds to a
? considerable amount were lying upon
>y the floor beside him. The scene
s- could not have been more dramatic
1- if presented upon the stage. The j
t, gaslily, repulsive features, the tatter
r-1 cd habit of the miser, and the wealth
ts for which he had bartered his sou}
Df lying around, formed a picture which
