Much paper, ink and laborious effort have boon expended in rhetorical criticisms upon the Beauregard movement in Louisiana, and we propose here to have another turn at it ourselves. We do not intend to bewail the de jrenoracj of ihe gallant chevalier so long the \ popular idol of ?outh -Carolina, "wpr do we deem it essential to throw ourselvcj between ; hiui and his censors. Suffice it ro eny, that in our opinion. Beauregard is as good and as i pure a patriot as his critics, and has earned a right to entertain and advocate opinions of: his own. We shall not withdraw our tonfidonee front him so long as we helicve he means well, and until he manifests the. purpose to prostitute his talents and influence to mislead the people for his own selfish ends, we will discuss with respect any measures he may suggest. We believe the term unification, as applied to any two races of the hu-1 man family, to be founded in a social and physiological fallacy, and if understood literally, it is pregnant with mod pernicious error and would meet with the unqualified reprobation from all quarters, if sought to be applied to the two races now occupying these Southern States. We hold that there can be no social unification of the races, nor do we understand this to be the scope of the Jiouisiana movement. It is rather an attempt made to overcome the race antagonism of the negroes of Louisiana, by tlio advocacy of laws securing to them an equal position, social and political, so that thenceforward thcte may be no more pretext for making the rights of either race the subject of political agitation, whereby alone the miserable crew of plunderers, so long in the ascendancy, have been enabled to maintain themselves in power, to the ruin of the best interests of both parties. There is nothing* as we remember, proposed to be made law in Louisiana that is uot now law in South Carolina. These equality laws have uot brought in? all that Deuce and good government which we could desire, but on the other hand, no jiarly in South Carolina now proposes to agitate these questions anew, nor has there resulted those social embarrassments tlierc1'roui that are now predicted of this movement of the hero of Manassas. The truth is, nil that we can ever hope for is, that the two races will be left with an equal chance . to achieve each its own destinv. Temporarily, we may have a hard time of it. but surely the wbiie race can have nothing to foar in the long run, unless false to its civilization, its morality and its religion, bet us, then, examine this movement upon its merits. We believe it is an honest effort to obtain a j i\tr? I lair (TOVrniui m iii lout Kiiij. ?? v mm, its results will be*, in some measure, to allay | irritation in tin; eud. I111I tho adventurers n?w in power will put in moli>ui nil pos-ihlo devices to income anew the prejudices of j race, and embitter the canvui-s, as their only it.cam of success. We look for a systematic | play upen the pussious nod the fears of the negroes. They will be at mcd under the pre- : tome of necessary self-defence, and incited to uieb conduct :r will provoke retaliation j by the whites; the federal power will be in- i voked, the blacks will he united, the whites Will not -uppoit *- iiuitication " and the move- j incut will fail in Loiii-intra as tlie reform i movement <1 til in South t'arolina. 'flic time of the cud is not yet. It will not come tin- ! til the intelligent and honest colored people | appreciate the security of an honest and j faithful administration of government, audi come to tt ' in sufficient numbers Insecure it [ Ii is a peculiarity of that race, that they al , W ly- ;i11rIliilto lut-ol i- ?i|Ces-iou eniicr iu .1 | sense of our wroakneas on the part of tlio.vc froui whom the v come. or to some deep laid , scheme ot villainy and treachery, whereby i to gain their confidence in order to betray I tllOlll. The first effect therefore, of any such poli cy is to inflate the exaggerated self-conceit of s one. and to e.tcit j the suspicion and in- : tensity the hatred of others, and hence to alienate rather than attract. We flnunot, therefore, go to them, but they can conic to us. It is ' our part to see that there' be no barriers in their way when they come. . Ccnerul .1 it mi cs i,. Kemper. ? This fciitleinaii, whose honored name is! written upon the banner of the Virginia con ! servatives for liovcrnor. is one of the most galI tut and accomplished sons of the "< >ld 1 torn in- I ion." and well known throughout tlie South j / 01 hi distiiu'uisln I ?.crvices during the late i war. We remeiiiher an incident earlv in.the war 'hat endeared Kemper to the hearts ol ' some of our 1'almctto Itoys. and gave us a I \a ting inteie t in his career. I hiring the battle ot iinlI linn, or l?!.i< kburn's Cord, on tiie l^tli of July, iHil, three days before the rout of Manassas, the -lid South Caroli la Regiment held the position at. Mitchell's bWd. When T.ongstreet was heavily pressed a little to the right, Beauregard ordered ( he officer in command to send a section >f Del Kemper's Battery and a d?fichtnenf ?f light- troops to the heights b#on9 the L-reek, to create a diversion. ?. The dust occasioned by the jnovinnent gWu t he Federal ? artillerists the range of I ho point Jit which the road Mxmch&l from the swamp, and for about sixty yards they commanded a straight reach, which, from the nature of the ground, no passenger could avoid* traversing, and every thirty seconds n well aimed shell pop ml nl.mnr rhat deadly oars. General, then rv" v * Major Kemper, of Honham's staff, when this fire was oiost accurate, galloped across the stream while a thousand anxious hearts and twice a thousand eager eyes followed his dancing plume as lie uc&rcd the critical spot. Each heart grew still .as ho entered it, and the ear caught the sound of a coming shell (hat buret almost as soon as heard, enveloping the gallant horseman in clouds of dust and suinke, amid which horse and rider, hat and plume for a moment were lost to view A moment after the horse was plunging madly forward with the rider, and the hat lay in the road behind, whither it had been whirled by the windage of the well aimed shell.? With graceful manege, Kemper checked his steed, turned leisurely back along the path of danger, dismounted and regained his hat, knocked the dust from it on his knee, drew it jantily over his brow, remounted amid the enthusiastic cheers of the Carolinians, which he gracefully acknowledged by a wave of his hat as the next shell whizzed past him, and then galloped away on his mission Our young soldiers had not then had their appreciation of knightly daring blunted by familiarity of such exhibitions, and we venture to say, none who witnessed it will ever forget Kemper's ride at Hull Run. The following is the wise and moderate rdutfuriu of the Virginia Conservatives.? 1 Nothiug but prejudice or foul play can prevent their success: "We, the representatives of the Conservative people of Virginia, in) convention asseml 'ed, do declare: 1- That a contrast of the condition of Virginia under Conservative government with the condition of those Southern States which have bean under Radical rule illlustrates the wisdom of the people of Virginia in the adoption of this plan of State policy, and demonstrates the necesssity of continuing the powers of the State Government in the control of the Conservative people of this Couimunwealth. 2. The chief purposo of the Conservative party of Virginia is to secure to every eitizeu of the Commonwealth, whether nacive or adopted, of the white or of the colored race, exact and impartial justice and to promote by wise and beneficent legislation the prosperity of our whole people. That the Conservative party of Virginia, disclaiming all purpose of captious hostility to Gcii. Grant, will judge him impartially by his official action, and will cordially cooperate in every measure of his administration which may be beneticieut in its design and calculated to promote' the welfare of the people and to cultivate sentiments of good will between the different sections of .L . IT u?e i' iiinn ? J. Wc recognize a.'i a fundamental truth that upon the intelligence and virtue of its people must rest the prosperity, power arid permanence of a State. We point with pride to the successful establishment and progress of the free school system of Virginia, inaugurated and conducted under circumstances of peculiar difficulty, for which we are indebted to the wisdom and zeal ofn Conservative State Government. Liberal provision ought to he continued for the support and extension of the free schools for the white and colored races respectively. 5. That the intercts of a large section of this Virion, no less than those of Virginia, demand the speedy enlargement and comple- | tion of the great James River and Kanawha water line that should connect the waters of the < Miio with those ot the Chesapeake, affording to the teeming population of the West cheap transportation of their products to the points of shipment and marts of trade in the Hirst The completion hy the Government of this great design < f George Washington would bean additional homl of union between tin' communities who -o iiradircts and com modifies would pars over (ho line of this to:iI national work. I.ttiicttsli'r Court PunI poued. .Ind^e Mackcy countermanded the order for uii extra or adjourned Court at Lancaster. which was to hu\c been held last week, whereupon, the ,)/.'/</.r remarks: ' Considering the fact, that we have had no civil business of any consequence transacted in our courts for "i'fr ttrn ///or#, and that the last term for his country was -'cut short" with a promise of cleaning out the dockets | at this term, and that the State's business | will very probaldy occupy the most of the time allotted for the October sitting, our poo- j pie. especially those immediately interesed, regard this last order of Judge Maekcy as a hardship which way work to thoir injury. I "independent ofvlie expenses which fall upon the county, there are eases in suit of loll- standing upon the dockets, which, in justice to the parlies interested, should bo , settled. Witnesses are dying out; costs are i accumulating hy tho related summoning of' witnesses, tho low of t ime in nfteiidonoe, A*c., ' are no fritting eonsidor.itiotis. .It is iiitiiiiatcd, ihat a petition setting forth the loots, will ho forwarded to his Honor, the Chief .lustier, or the proper authority, ' praying for an extra term of Court lor this minify lor the hearing of the civil hndness at present on the dnekets. Personally, we are not interested in any suit in court, and do not say any thing in a caption* spit if. luit reflect the sentiments of those interested I J , , .. . # ' Public Weigher*. One of our citizens has addressed the Sumter New*, asking information as to the working of the ordinances on this subject, in Putatcr, and We re-pubHah the response. There can Ire no objection to the creation of the office, leaving it optional with all parTies tb employ the weigher or not. Wo think it would tend to stop cavil and suspicion, but have some doubt of the system meeting with favor when it is attempted to he put in practice. "In reply to the inquiries of our Camden correspondent as to the practical working ol' our system of Public Weighing, in Sumter, we will elate that we have a sworn Public Weigher, whose business is, to weigh all produce bronght to this market,and to give the party applying tor his services, a certificate of the weight of his produce. We have a large Platform Scale, for weighing wagons and cRrt* loaded with hay, l'odder, oats, &c., on which the vehicles are * ? - ? 1. unven ana woignea. ana nitcrv.-urus when their loads are thrown oif. The actt weight of produce i3 thus very easily ascertained. The Town Council have Cotton Scales, also, and formerly required ill of our MtfffbaYits, making, purchase of Cotton, lo send the same to the Public Scales, ou the Public Retire; to be weighed by the Weigher. The Merchant b objected to doing this, because the Cotton had to be unloaded and reloaded in the operation, entailing much inconvenience and trouble, and some expense, upon them. Qpe of ntjr Merchants refused to carry his Cotton to the Scales, for the purpose of making a test case, which tens car ried before Judge Melton, who decided thai Council had no right or authority to impost such a condition upon the Merchants. Since that (Jpcisiop was rendered, the Public Weijrhet weighs each Merchant's Cotton at his particulai place of business, npon such Merchant's own scales, and gives him a certificate of the weights Thi? arrangement works well, and. we believe affords satisfaction to all parties interested both buyers ni'! sellers. We have heard no ex preesion of dissent from any quarter, siuco ii was inaugurated. Our system of linvinir all nroduce hrouffht l< O I - c this market, weighed by n Public Weigher, i highly satisfactory to the farmers and planter | of the surrouuding country, and we have m ' doubt thai our Kershaw friends will lie pleasei I with a similar arrangement." The Lieu Law. The Clarendon /Vr? urges the repeal n | the lien law by the General Assetnby at tin j next meeting. It says: j "We have come to the conclusion, from see ! its practical workings the present year, that tin I repeal of the lien law is imperatively deuiandei as one of the first nets of the Legislature. I n (|itesttonah1y a good denl of suffering will he en tailed upon a large portion of the agricultura masses for a time, by the failure to get nceommo dation in the absence of any special legislaiioi to protect parties advancing to them, but in th, end the effect will be.beneficial to the country More than all other causes combine<l, the systen is producing demoralization of lnbor and enrich ing the few at the expenses of the many.

Naval Preparations eok War ?The New York World says: Facts arc not wanting to ahow lliat an effort in in progress in administration < ito pro vuke trouiile with Mexico, and this heing tin case, certain military and naval preparation' now going on at New Orleans audit * vicinity art not without their suggestiveiiesj. Warlike pre pnrations arc active in that city nt present cvci the following facts, to wit. that two naval'officei hare recently arrived there to recruit for lite unvy : the gun boats in the port are >>cing prepared for sea ; officer- of (leneral Emory' tafl have just returned from an inspection ot the Gull', forts, which nro being heavily strengthened. aud, finally, forlifiieatiotis are to be immediately constructed on Grand I tie. All this activity may only imply a suddden impulse of industry on the part of the Navy Department, or again it tnaymean that the Administration is prupnring for an emergency which it may provoke it-elf.
