It has boon clearly demonstrated that wc have enough bad men of our own j raising in South Carolina, so that we \ do not need to import them from 'other sections of thc country, who aro worse than our home production. But they will como as long as they can make it pay to impose them selves upon thc people. Many of the rogues come South to winter, who have other chosen resorts during thc summer. We arc informed on thc best of authority, that a set of gamb lers traveling upon the Noithcastern and Savannah railroads during the last winter, were known on these routes to have won in gambling and taken from our unsuspecting citizens and others, between thirty and ?u ty thousand-dblluts,~7ind they arc again ajrwork on these' routes. ' So* very groat was thc extent io which this was carried las*, year hat tba- rail road companies had notices put up in the cars warning thc passengers not to accept offers to play at canis. Bill * all thc measures they could usc tlid not put a final slop to this game ol thc sharpers. They go in gangs, and phey and win money from each other and by that means draws others into it, ami those who venture aro as sure, to be caught as thc silly liy who goes into the pretty parlor of the spider. These traveling scourges arc well trained in their business, anti know how to win money from tito unsus pecting. Let thc public he on their guard against them, ami starve ?hem out. It is said these same gamblers deal in counterfeit money. IL is rc ported that at some of thc recent cir cus exhibitions in our Stale, parties were selling counterfeit money for ten cents on thc dollar. Thc law should bc rigidly enforced against till such pests in thc community. They should learn at leasl, that thc South is no place for them. Let them bc put where they will bc obliged to carn'an honest living. fcOAIMKNICATKI?.] alu. Kimon : - Notwithstanding the prejudice of our people against cvcylhing Northern, they cannot but commend your clTorls in behalf of honesty in officials. Hut our people must bo aware that they arc, in a measure, responsible for all Hu: fraud, corruption, dishonest}', poverty that has oppressed us for thc last six years. Thc "masterly inactivity," and stand-aloof-policy, so much ad vocated just previous to thc constitu tional convention of 1808, sowed Lin: seed, the bitlov fruits of which we have been reaping ever since. Such was the prejudice, (strengthened by such advice as this) that but few hon orable or honest men dared, in thc face of public opinion, lo become one of the many required in our legisla tive halls. As* a const quenco the majority of thc State and county ?bi ces wc tc lilied hy dishonest and cor-' SJ nipt men, who sought them foi- sclf agraiidiseineut, and who used as a weapon against us, this very preju dice and stand-oll'-policy Lo obtain thc stiliVagcs of UH: blacks. 'Vigilance slept. We wore "mas terly inactive." lt was suicidal ; but let us hope that our people will profit by the lesson. Brought suddenly from slavery, *! i . i i poverty, ignorance, lo liberty, what should wc have expected of thc ne gro? Tiltil bc should know and con ti hu hi insult* to thal "middle point be tween liic two extremes of licentious ness and slavery in which true li ho iv ty consists?*' lt is absurd. 'Des potism degrades and demoralizes Hie human mind ; and although sin: nt lchglh forces men on a just, attempt j to recover by violence, those rights that by violence were taken away, ' yet that deprivation superinduced by despotism, renders men unlit fur n rational exercise ol'those civil rights with which they have been' invested, 'At sucha ci ?sis, to expect that ctw?) people should keep lite strict, un bending path (d' rectitude and reason, without deviating into private rapine or public wrong, were as wist: as le expect that a horse would walk in :i .straight linc immediately on being released from his trammels, after having been blinded by a long rou tine of dntdgory in thc circle of a mill.' Tho people clamoured (br se If-gov ernment-and they obtained it ; but at thc saine lime thc colored peuple were invested with the right of su ti rage. They were ignorant, uneduca ted, a hil as a consequence were lcd by demagogues, unprincipled knaves, who used them as a mask for their own corruption. Hut tiieyj themselves, soon saw ibo necessity of, and demanded what their loaders were afraid lo deny-ed ucation! "A government that is cor rupt can no more exist with a popula tion that is enlightened, than the I night can continue when thc sun is up." Education has opened the eyes ol thc negro and bc now knows full web the gaiii.ci that has beert practiced upon bim. He has learned enough ' lu know tli?t his and our interests aro identical; I.et us, than, throw aside pai ?j , sec tional and color prejudice, and join with them in an independent eliot t for ?honest men and honest measures. "Thc Lord W?l Provide" A city missionary, one Saturday night, was going hume with a basket of provisions on his arm. Meeting a policeman, he asked him if there liad any families moved in the bounds ol' his boat dining the week, ile an swered, "Yes," and, pointing to a building up an alley, ami said, :iA woman and sonic children arc livinu Lhere now." Thc missionary went lo the house, rapped at thc ?loor, and was admitted, rho woman was silling by a .small light sewing. In the corner of thc room were lw*o little girls, appear cr.lly from nine lo twelve ?cais of agc, playing. Thc inissionaay said, "Madam, I am herc to see if you will allow your girls Lo attend S u nd il \ School tomor row mo: ning." "I would, sir ;dnii what you see on I i icm is all tin; clothing they have, and you would not wish them to go as they arc now." "The Lord will provide, madam. Have you no money?" "Not yet, but ? have co tn in i tied my case into thc hands of thu Lord.'? ..Have you anything lo cat?" ''Nothing sir !" "What will you do for breakfast?" "Oil, sir, I one;', had a husband ; ho provided when he could. These diildrcn had a father; he supplied Lheir wants ; but he Is dead now.

"Thank Clod fur such faith," said .he missionary ; and banded her the nisbet, said j; Hero is your breakfast, md you shall havo^ tho clothing for your children:'' Willi tears streaming down her ace, she replied : a' I "Oh ! thank God foi" His faithful ness!
