Washington News and Speculations. On the 2kb. the Arkansas Senators and members of tbe House were sworn in, and took their seats in the respective Houses. * In the Senate the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association asked for niue thousand- dollars. A bill was introduced by Howard abolishing the Freedman's Bureau in tho represented States after January 1, which was referred to the Military Committee. A bill making eight hours a day's work in Government work shops was passed by a vote of twenty-nine to eleven. The Civil Appropriation bill was resumed. 0? the 25tb, in the Hou e, tho veto was received of the Omnibus Bill, but the Bill passed notwithstanding by a hundred and live votes to thirty. Recess. Paine asked leave to introduce a Bill sup plying the militia with arms. Eldridge demanded that it should be read. P-ai ne then w i t h dre w it. Thu Bill dividing Illinois into two Federal judicial distritos waa passed. It goes to the President. The Tax Bill was resumed. Au amend nen, forbidding the removal of whiskey IVom the distillery until the tax was paid, anything in the bill to the contrary notwithstanding, aud allowing fifty cents drawback on expor tions, was passed. In the Senate, an amcudment increasing the salary of the Assistant Treasurer at Charleston, from twenty-five hundred to four thousand dollars, was passed. Said Treasuer disburses seven millions. Without conclud ing the. Lill, the Senate passed the Oinnibu.^ bill over the vom. by 35 votes to 8, and ad jotirned. The veto is very brief. The objection to trie Arkansas bill, without restating them, ap ply to these States, except Alabama, in which case, in addition, the bill violates the plighted faith of Congress. The President has sent a special agent to Georgia to report the circumstances connec ted with the imprisonment of the citizens of Columbus in Atlanta. The Speaker of the House has decided that the Arkansas members are entitled to pay from the date of their election. They claim pay from the "commencement of the session. The Speaker referred the dis pule to thc Judiciary Committee. The ArkiiUsas Senators cast their first vote against the confirmation of Cox for the Aus trian mission! "Leo." the Washington correspondent of tho Charleston Courier, under date of Wash ington, .Tnne 221, says : The President will probably issue a procla mation of amnesty cn the +?h .Inly, for the rel'ef of persons who participated in the re " hellion. This amnesty will exempt such per sans from criminal prosecution for any act onnected with the war. It will simply re heve them from criminal prosecution, but not from the politieal disabilities to which they are su'j ct. The fourteenth article proposed .is an amendment to the Constitution authorises Congress to relieve persons from political dis abilities. No one who was connected with the icbellion can hoid office until he be re lieved by the action of Congress. The am nesty proclamation will apply to about one hundred individuals only. Until the House and Senate both pass into Conservative hand?, restoration of Southern citizens to political rights cannot be expected. But both Mr. Sumner and Mr. Wilson have recently stated in conversation, that after the admission of all the Southern States they will urge the removal cf all disabilities to which Southern citizens may be subject, and pursue a liberal course towards the South, en deavoring to promote the permanent prosper ity of that region. Since the name of Chase was first mention-, ed in connection witb the Democratic nomi nation, Mr. Johnson has taken unusual inter est in the proposed Convention- He has fre quently expressed his preference for Chase to tnose who introduced the subject to him over all other candidates. In his opinion the nom ination of Chase would be the harbinger of victory for the Democrats, and his election , would bring peace and qaiet to the country, besides doing away with military rule, and restoring the reign of law and order. During the conversation the President ex pressed the hope " that the Democratic Con vention would have wisdom and policy to nominate Chase, around whom the Conserva tive and constitutional loving masses of the country would rally. If this was done, te (Johnson) would do his utmost to secure the success of the ticket." The Chief Justice thanked the President for his kiudness, and expressed his willingness to accept tba nomination on tho platform em bracing the living issues of the day. It is understood that arrangements are now in progress for the formation of a coalition Presidential ticket of Conservative Republi cans aud Democrats, with Mr. Chase at its head, on the basis of opposition to Radical ism and centralization, and acceptance of the accomplished events of the war. Tho Washington correspondent of the Charleston Mercury, says : Tho recent extraordinary proceeding of General Meade and his myrmidons and sat ?lites in Georgia, in the matter of the im prisonment of certain citizens of Columbus, have been published befe, and excite a very general feeling of horror and disgust. I have met no man who defends them, und I know quite a number of prominent Republicans who utterly disapprove of tbe' act3 of the military. The matter is rouen talked of in Cougress, and an effort bas been made to procure a change of the Department Commander in Georgia, which will probably be successful. I think that Meade will be sent away to some point where he will not dare to report such outrages, and that General G.anger or Gen eral Rousseau (both of whom are now here), will take his place. The President Bays these acts are horrible.' In the House, on the 2Gtb, Paine's bill, giving arms to thc State militia, was referred to the Military Committee. Paine's Bill, furnishing arms to the militia, authorizes the Secretary of War to supply each Congressional District two thousand rifles and a battery upon assurance, that mili tia organizations in their respective districts are loval. On the 27th, in the House, tho.Committee on Claims reported a bill granting 810,000 to the owner of the bark Barry, destroyed at sea by the Confederate cruiser Florida. The President told Grant unless he moved promptly in the matter, affecting the Colum bus prisoners, he (the President) would act himself? Several Georgian refugees aro hero. Col. Lamar, who has been here and in .Nc<v . York in the interest of the Columbus prison ers, leaves homeward to night. Prominent lawyers in New York have volunteered to defend the prisoners. The President's special agent to investigate the matter is an officer, arid brother of General Schofield. Gen. Grant has telegraphed McDowell to turn over Arkansas to the civil authorities as soon as it is safe. NINETEEN NEGROES DROWNED-From a gentleman who reached our city yesterday we learned the particulars, as far as could be gathored up to the time of his departure, of the drowning of nineteen negroes. On Sunday last a party o? twenty-five ne groes, many of them nnder the influence ol' liquor, started from Burgess' Mill, on the Saiilla river, ?ki a small sail boat, to attend a meeting at Jeffeisonton. On <ht? way the boat, through the mismanagement of those who were sailing it, capsized, and nineteen of the party wore drowned. The others saved themselves by clinging to the boat until help arrived. Of those drowned eleven were men, the rest women and children. Everything was done tn recover the bodies, and up to 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon eleven bodies | ( had been found.-Savannah News k Herald, 2Gtb. ST. JOHN'S DAY IX HAMBURG.-The festival of St. John the Baptist was celebrated on the 2ith inst, by Harmony Lodge No. 67 A.*. F.\ M.*. at Hamburg, So. Ca., assisted by visiting Brethren from Lodges of that. State, as well as from this city. The Lodge was opened and soon called off tb refreshments, when the Brethren went in procession to the house of Past Master A. Simon, where a eolation was urrai'ged. Af'er having done justice to the eatables and Hamburg lager bet r the Lodge again returned to their hall ami were dj* The Union Pacific Rail Road is being built nore rapidly this vear than ever. The word ?a " To Salt Lake by Christmas." Sis hun Jred and forty stiles are now in running or ier, and a hundred miles more ure nearly ready for thc track. Brigham Young has ave thousond men at work in Utah, and says be is not afraid of. the Gentiles, lt is proba-, ble that the locomotive will go through to the Pacific in 18C9 instead of 1870, and will carry along with it an immense train of pas sengers and freight, now awaiting that happy event. Contrary to the u^ual experience of rail road companies, the Union Pacific has an abundance ol'ready monev, and pays cash for everything. Its First Mortgage Six per cent. Gold Bonds are eagerly taken throughout the country by parties of sound financial judg ment. The sales have already amounted to seventeen million dollars. REMOVING THE DISABILITIES OF EX-REBELS -A few ex rebels who have gone over to the Radical party had their disabilities .removed yeste rday, so far as the action of the Senate could remove them. This is all very good and proper ; but it would certainly be the wi ser course to pass a general bill, removing the disabilities of all who are willing lo faithfully abide by tho result of tho war and support tho Constitution and laws of the United States. Such a measure of pacification and harmony was proposed by Slr. Vickery of Maryland, but it was rejected without a division." In the opinion of uar patriotic Radi cal Senat; every Southern ex-rebel who does not support the destructive views and policies of the dominant party is disloyal aod not. fit to bu trusted. The Southern mao who is a Conservative most not be allowed to hold of fice, but no matter how prominent he may ha-, e Leen in the rebellion, and how deaptrate ly he may -.ave bent his energies to the wotk ol'destroying the Union, if he is willing to de clare that the negro is as good if not a little better thau the white man, and to express himself delighted with military despotism and anarchy, he is forthwith welcomed into the elysium of Radical affections and is voted ca pable of holding any. office. And so we go. Perhaps the people may be allowed next No vember to grant to ?he late rebels of the South a general amnesty, without waiting for a spe cial act of Congress.-N. Y. Herald, 17th inst. SHOT.-On Friday last, a negro coming out of the gunsmith shop with a shot-gun, in a most careless and ignorant manner, capped and pulled trigger, with the intention, he said, of blowing the gt n out. Most unfortunately the gun was found to be loaded, and went (ff, the contents of which lodged in the head aud shoulders of a quiet and good boy, who was sitting near by. Thc boy shot, formerly be longed to Col. Renwick, and bears an excel lent character; while the other, judging from bis greasy, lazy, good-for-nothing appearance, has nothing to recommend him. Had lae case been reverse:!, the harm would be con sidered trifling. The wounded boy, with one eye shot out, and otherwise badly hurt, is in a precarious condition.-Newberry Herald. A very excellent address was delivered by Col. R. A. Fair, before the Democratic Club of this place, on last Saturday evening. I was addressed principally to the colored mem bers, and was designed to expose the false philanthropy of the "carpet baggers" and "scalawags," who are carrying out their own selfish purposes at the expense of the deluded blacks-fit representatives of that pious crew of early abolitionists who sold their slaves, pocketed the proceeds, and then joined in a holy crusade against the institution. The next address will be delivered by the Hon. Armistead Burt, with ?ir. W. H. McCas as his alternate.-Abbeville Pres9. DEATH OF CRPTAIN JOHN CIIESNUT.-It is our sad task to record the decea>e of this es timable, accomplished, courteous gentleman. He died about noon on the 15th instant, and was buried in the family cemetery at Knight's Hill. Early in the late war, be joined Gregg's Regiment as a private and proved his man hood by the cheerful courage with which he encountered the perils and hardships of an infantry soldier, little fitted as he was, physi cally, to endure them. Upon the dissolution of that regiment he entered the Boykin Ran gers, a company of mounted r. fiemen, which was afterwards converted into a>cavalrycorp3, and was incorporated into the 2d South Car olina Cavalry. On the retirement ot Captain Boykin, he was succeeded by Captain Ches nut, who served with eminent distinction to the end of the war. Pure and elevated in spirit, genial, fr-nk and I polished in manners, bold and manly in character, he was loved and admired as a gentleman, a soldier and a patriot. We trust some of bis many friends will prepare ? memorial more worthy of his fame.-Camden Journal. * THE DILL MURDER-MORE ARRESTS.-By a private letter from Camden, dated the 22d, we learn that the military authorities are still engaged in investigating the Dill murdur. Several additional arrests have beeu made and the parties confined in the jail, prepara tory to their removal to Castle Pinckoey. Among those last arrested aro Mema. Huea hee, Kelly, Rayburn. Mattox, Dr. Wm. Nel son, John Mickle and James Pickett. Four or five negroes have also been arrested for supposed complicity in thc murder. These occurrences keep the Camden community at lever heat, as no one knows what a day may bring forth. Altogether there havo been ar rested eighteen; or nineteen white?, besides thc blacks above alluded to. A good deal of | amusement has been excited in tho locality by the reports published in one or tv?) Charles ton papers of " bloody and fearful outrages," which never occurred.-Charleston News, 25th. PRESIDENT JOHNSON AND THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION AT NEW YORK--WHAT HIS FRIENDS SAY.- Washington June 21, l?GS. Friends of the President here claim that he will receive the largest vote on the first bal lot in the New York Convention, and antici pate on the part of the Presideut, within.the next three or four days, some official demon strations ?which will secure him the nomina tion. They claim that Mr. Johnson's gallant stand for the Constitution entitles him to the gratitude and favor of the Conservative party, and that some bold stroke ot policy is all that is needed to secure it. Hence they say that important events are near at hand.-Special to Baltimore Gazette. -- . Letter From Charles Sumner. RICHMOND, Juno 25, noon.-The following letter hos been written by Senator Sumner to i citizen of Norfolk : SENATE CHAMBER, June 22,1868. DEAR SIR : 1 have your letter of the 18th, in reference to the eligibility of a colored mao lo Congress. I know of no ground on which he could be excluded from his seat, if | iuiy elected, and I should welcome the elec tion of a competent representative of the col ored race to either House of Congress as the final triumph of the cause of equal rights. Till this step is taken our success is incom plete. Yours truly, CHARLES SUMNER. The children of Charles Anderson, three a number, of Eist Bradford Township, Ches ter County, Penn., were burned to death last Thursday. The parents were engtiged' at work for one of their neighbours when tho icddent occurred. It appears that the girl, ?ho was about eleven years of age, attempt }d to make a fire to cook some dinner, when ihe took a can containing kerosene oil and4 waa in the act of pouring it on the fire when t exploded, throwing its contents over the :hildren and igniting their clothes. They im ncdialely ran out Of the house, and fn m ;hence to a neighbour's bouse, but by this ;imc they were burned in a shocking manner. The neighbours soon collected and attempted o alleviate their sufferings. The boy, aged ?even years, died in about three hours ; the jirl, aged eleven, in about five hours, and the nfant in six hours. A grandchild, who was ?eared io the door, escaped injury.

From a glance at our columns it will be seen that three moro Democratic Clubs have been ganized in this District. Go on gentlemen,-the cause is a good one, and there is a grand work to be tluuo-re-instatiug the Democratic party into power again; and every white mun in thc land, .and colored mun too, should work with will for the achievement of this, the only hope, for the salvation of the country. We desire to note the formation of many moro Clubs in the course of the next few weeks. Barbecue and Pic Nie at Batesville Depot.

Somo two weeks since we announced that Miss BUIE, "the Soldiers Friend," was in our midst, with tho design of establishing here a Female School of high order. We are now happy to an nounce that Miss Bum hus actually begun her School' She commenced operations on Monday of last week, in tho Fcmalo Institute. And we are authorized to .-.tate that, in a short time, this large aud commodious building will be in Miss Bute's possession by purchase. Miss Ii L IE has many able and willing friends ; and this fact, joinod to the indomitable enercy and perseverance of the lady herself, encourages us to predict that she will make of her present undertaking a grand success. Misa Brit; deserves well ut the bunds of ] thc Southern public, i>nd we call upon the people of this section to come up now to her support. Of course ber Institution must becomo popular hero, before it can draw pupils from abroad. Tho Female Institute building, as soon as it oomes into Miss Bute's possession, will bo thor oughly repaired .-.nd set in order. Nor will her school be discontinued while repairs are being made; another building will be provided in the mtsanlinio. And it is Miss BUIE'S intention to engage a corps of Teachers whoso, vory names will give satisfaction to the great public of Edge field District. Her text books will be strictly and exclusively Southern. In fact Miss Bute's devo tion to the South, and to Southern people, and Southern ideas,-and Southern traditions, and the Southern future, amounts to almost absolute fe rocity. And here, again, we would beg leave to call the attention of our people to the fact that should Miss Bun: succeed, as sho now has every hope and prospect of doing, the charitable education of tho daughters of deceased Confederate Soldiers will be a prominent and ever-fostered feature of | her Institution. Miss Bute may be found either at the Institute or at the private residence of A. A. GLOVER, Esq. Spear's Fruit Preserving Solution. For preserving purposes this Solution is now considorcd an indispensable article. Many per sons in this vicinity tested it lost year in preserv ing Fruits, Tomatoes, Syrups, Jellies, Spiced Fruits, 4c, and found it equal to all that was claimed for it. It serves to prevont decomposi tion and preserves Fruits, ftc, in a fresh and wholesome condition for years, at the most trifling expense, and without tho aid of sugar or air-tight vessels. Now that we have an abundance of | Fruits, it behooves the good housewife to com mence her preserving operations without delay, and at the outset we imploro 'them to procura a bottle of Spear's Preserving Solution; and there by avoid tho trouble of sealing, obtaining costly jars or cans, and tho many other preserving an noyances known to every hom keeper. This So lution may bo had on application to the *' Corner Drug Store," at the sign of tho Golden Mortar, or at tho Store of Mr. G. L. PKSN. ?&~DT. T. J.

On Wednesday night last aband of armed negroes went to the house of a Mr. Brown, in Screven county, for the purpose of carrying off, by force, a girl hired thore. A row ensued, in which one of the negroes fired at Mr. Brown, who returned the fire, killing one of the party, pound- j ' ing Mcibej ?d potting tho mt tv flight, j < T-be Torch of thc incendiary,ja ..J Charleston. There were two large fires io Charleston on Sat urday and .Sunday night?, the 20th and 21st, 1 which were evidently the work of the incendiary, i Messrs. HOLUKS k CALDER and W; L. "WEBB were thc principal euSorers ot the first Aro-their stocks being almosta total-loss. They were however in sured to a considerable extont.. Tho (ire on Sun day night entirely consumed tho ?xtensive Drug IIouso of GOODRICH" A WISEMAN, and considera bly damaged* the large stock of bookrof E. J. DAWSON & Co. These gentlemen were also in sured. The loss of property by those two fires must bavo approximated $150,000. Thu Charleston Nero*, .alluding to these devas tating conflagration?, and thc probability of their being the work of the cowardly incendiary, says : "It is not oar.custom to give notoriety to the ne gro papers published in this city, und as long as they confine themselves to abasing white men and Tn? DArcv Ni wa, they will receive no attention at our hands- Rut one of these papers-the Mis sionary Jiecord-under the guidance of B. H. Cain, oue of the negro "Aldermen of Charleston, has gone out of its usual path, and now stands be fore this community and its military rulers, as di rectly responsible for all that is not accidental in the fires of Saturday and Sunday last. Io the Missionary Record; published an Satur day morning last, is an editorial under the cap tion, " Tho whirlwind cometh-Beware." This article opens by declaring that the white oppo nents of Reconstruction are so intent on punish ing thc poor man,"white and black, for voting the Republican ticket, that- they forget that such a courso " may catt them their /ature p*otptet$ in 6K * mets." Here is a plain and direct menace ;? and tho writer goes on to say that the merchants have thrown all their weight against tho laboring man, and that the merchants and business men gene rally have brought to the city country negroes who will work for a mere song so as " to make ninety per cent, over tho cost of citizen labor, and put it into their own pockets." The article then speaks of the colored men without work-the starving wives and children-the business leeches " who fatten on their fat contracts"-the "relent less" landlord, and says " they-the Radicals have boon turned away from every employment, by those who aro opposed to them in politics, SB a punishment for using their liberty. We appeal to that class of men " to beware of two thoutand men in a ?tate nf denperation, maddened by the cries for bread coming from their children, frenzied by tho eight of th? 'hunger-smitten wife, goaded by the merciless landlord, and then when he remem bers that a certain olass of men have contributed to all this misery, simply on political grounds,1. rAey will wreak their terrible vengeance on their head?." Further on, it says : " While we write tho fearful scenes of the French Revolution stand spectre-like before us, as we contemplate the thousands of men, women and children in this city who are thrown into a state of want and suf fering by tho actions af those who have it in their power to oppress thom, and as we pa>s the motley aud sullen crowds that occupy tho corners and walk thc streets casting an eye of fire at these gentlemen-merchants, contractors, speculators in their bones and sinews-we exclaim, God ?ave ut from the tight which crazed France and lit the fire? of dettruction which ?wept over that country. If\ tuck a fire thould bc kindled in thit city, who will suffer the most ? Let. the merchant, the property holder, the men who ara in power, remember that the rich alway? tuffer the mott where the rabble rule. This is no fancy sketch ; the fire burns now, when thc wild passions are once aroused, you cannot catily allay them." For ns this is more than enough, but we print the wholo infamous harangue in full, so that it may tell its tale. Tho Missionary Reco' d .9 published on Sat urday morning, and on Saturday night a fire broke out in a house filled with paints and oils, next door to a building crammed with dry goods and clothing. Tho next niirht a fire brokeout in an un occupied house in tho midst of shoe merchants and dry goods merchants, and next to the Telegetpb' and Express Offices. Were theso things acciatc tal ? Was it a mere coincidence that the flames should have followed so soon tho article pub lished by the Record ? Was it chance that this "Alderman" Cain should goad on the colored men to madness in tho morning, and that by night the fires of destruction should hold high carnival in the city? Was an accident that the city engine houses have been broken into twice within the lost week, and that on each occasion tho hose was cut, and thut the couplings were carried away 7 Was it chance that thus a thing was done, which might hare made an engino useless if called suddenly to a fire ? Was it a coincidence that thc hoso of | tho engines was cut at the fire on Sund.-.y night? Wus it fate that each of the two fires wc have chronicled burst out in positions where (he flames might be expeoted to spread rapidly, and give abundant room for picking and for pillage? We say that it was not accident, coincidence or chance. It was done deliberately and oalmly, with a full knowledge of the natural result, and we ask Gen eral Cunby whether ho will allow this mau Cain, his appointee, to sit any longer in tho Council of thc city bo is endeavoring to destroy by inciting ?ti ce nd ii ri? ra, riot uud wrong? ??r~ Demorett'e Monthly for July, prompt os usual, and with an additional quantity of Summer Literature, is one of the mott useful and interest ing of all tho parlor periodicals, readable from beginning to end, and, better than that, its toneis elevated and earnost, very unlike tho frivolous ar tificiality that disgraces so many fashion journals. The fashions are a feature,as ever. Ladies in the country think they can not make a garment with out Demorett'a Magazine, and thero is, in addition to tho treasured-patterns, ul ways a fund of useful and valuable information upon all household and domestic subjects.

JSP Wo learn from parties wb? have just re turned from Washington, (say's the Charleston Courier) that Congress will not adjourn, but will take a recess from August to Ootobor. This meas ure has beon decided upon, it is said, to keep a check upon tho President's removals and appoint ments to office during the procent Presidential, campaign. ^3J-Two negroes, near Mrs. Bell's Mill, lu Putnam county, on last Wednesday, were scuffling for the possession of a shot gun ; while in the melee the gun was discharged killing one of them instantly.

This Roport, togothor with a letter from the President of the * Home," we take the utmost pleasure, in pub* lishing. Our readers will lind thc cn below. Tho main dependence of the founders oT the '.'

South Carolina, who bave never yet been deficient in tho exercise t?f charity. We know that our people have suf fered much. They have lost property in many ways, and the profits of years of labor have melt ed away in their hands. But when they consider the a i m H and object n of the Home for the Mothers, Widow? and Daughter* of Confederate Soldier?, wo have b ave no fears that their liberality and patriotism will fall'short of the demands which such an institution so naturally makes upon them. We hope when tho .day comes which awaits us all, the great, judgment. day, when the Son of Man shall come in his majesty, and all the angels with nica, that there aro many among us who may havo the bliss of bearing the words of the King addressed tb them: "Come ye'blessed of my Father,, possess the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I waa hungry, and you gave me-to eat ; I was thits ty, and you gave me to drink; I was .> stranger, and you took me in ; naked, ' and you covered me; sick, .and you visited me; in prison, and. you came to me."

Any one wishing to bestow aid upon the "Home," can learn, from the appended letter and Report, the name and, address of its honored President: . . / - . CBABMSSTON, June 11th, 1868. Editor of the Edgefield Arfoerf iter,-DZABSIR : -The Ladies in charge of the Home, for the Mothers, Widows and Daughters of our Confed erate dead, respectfully ?enclose you a Circular containing a report of the Home, for the last Six Mouths ; and beg you will give it an insertion in your journal, in order to inform the citizens of Edgefield District as to the condition of an In stitution, in which all parts of the State are in terested. Gur'work is not confined to the City alone-as inmates from other Districts have at roady been received into the Home. We are however sadly in want of funds to carry on our noble work, ami would bo much indebted if yon would be kind onough to make for ns an appeal through your valuable Journal. Hoping that we are not asking more than you are at leisure to bestow. I am, Sir, Very Respectfully, M. A. 8N0WDEN, President/Widows' Home. REPORT. The ladies incharge of the "HOME," believing the public to be interested in their mission of love and mercy, would lay before those who have so kindly aided in this charity a brief statement of what has been accomplished for the welfare of its inmates. Thc "HOME" has been in operation for six months, and numbers over 60 occupants. Here these destitute ladies and children, some of whom have been reduced from affluence to poverty, by tho misfortunes of War, fiad a comfortable shel ter, and a pleasant home. In the seclusion of her apartment each mother can carry . n the work of training her children with the same privacy and care that sho could in her own home; and the children can still enjoy tho privileges and pleasures of the domestic circle. Three times a week soup is supplied in.the In* stitution ; and from time to time snob provisions as have boen sent by friends have been distributed among the inmates, and most gratefully received. A school, numbering over .fifty children-and constantly increasing, gathered from the families in the " HOKE," and from those unable to secure education elsewhere-bas been organizad, and is regularly and gratuitously taught by young ladies of refinement and culturo. Tba firogre-s of th? children in acquiring knowledge has already been such as to reward and stimulate their disinterest ed teachers. Tho large and commodious building, rented by tho Board of Control, affording the facilities, it is proposed, as speedily as possible, to admit a limited number of girls--daughters of Confeder erate Soldiers, who have been impoverished by the War, and to afford them a home, in order to securo them the meads of thorough education. They will, bo placed under tho supervision of a discreet and experienced lady, as Matron. For the means of their education and board, however, the Board of Control make; earnest appeal to the liberal and benevolent. Tuition for them eau be obtained, at sumo of the best schools in the city of Charleston, at one-half the usual rates ; and the zeal and determination of the young ladies to secure thc mcaus of self-support will, doubt less, ensure double the ordinary progress to that coveted result. Fortunately, also, the spacious premises occu pied by the .' HOME" hos afforded shelter lo per sons in need who do not come within the exact letter of the purpose of the Institution, but who havo gladly availed themselves of the privilege of occupying room.3 in the building which were not immediately required by thu? .or whom they were originally designed. Tho eagerness with which ludies huve nvailcd themselves of even a temporary shelter, which they covonanted cheer fully.to resign so soon as it thould be needed by. those having a prior claim, dues but indicate the extremity to which we are reduced, the patient magnanimity with which it is, borne, and tho timelines?, of even the lea-t i f?o rt and prayer for ?ts relief. While thanking most gratefully all who have assisted us in this undertaking, we earnestly en treat them not to relax their generous endeavours on behalf of the "HOME." There are many wan ts of its inmates which we are unable to relieve; and feel that our work is incomplo until wo pour out the full measure of comfort, upon those whose protectors yielded lip their lives in dofenco of their homes and ours. . We fully realize the vast importance of our un dertaking-its grave responsibility. We know our work to be a noble one-to comfort the widow and the fatherless, and to shelter the homoless. Therefore, with an abiding faith in the kindness of onr people, and a'confident trust in the benevo lent promptings of humanity, wo earnestly com mend tho " HOME" to the loberai and philan thropic everywhere. .

But this cannot done. Every negro who-may be permitted to v for officers of the State Government must likew according te the Constitution, bave the privil of voting for officers of the Federal Governnu The Radicals first attempted to enfranch niggers in ail the States, thisklngthat so fewn ger? inhabit many of the States North, where < treme radicalism was lately triomph?t,'that lil or no objection would be made ; bat wherever i proposition hu beon submitted to a popular v in any State at the North since the weir, it J been indignantly and overwhelmingly defeat The uniform verdict at the North, in ell late el tions against negro suffrage in any form for i handful of darkies in that quarter, has caused I rodicsl leaders to shift their ground.

Government, to compel every Southern Stotel only to enfranchise all blacks, bat also to disfrt chiso enough whites to give the niggers control the State Governments, and power, to cast I vot? of the'South for nigger Presidential Eloctc a&d for nigger members of Congress. This slij change of base will not save them from contine defeat, because it proposes to -hive ora rule' suffrage for the North, amt another rr le of s frago for the South, without regard *?

For instance, the negroes at the South are to vote in a Pre dentio. election, it does not matter where tb wide, aa a nigger voter here will offset a, wh voter at the North. Jun so it will be too in elections for Representatives and Senators in Os gress. Thus it ls that tho black chickens hatch by the Radical Leaders, that have been roost! over Southern men for some time p ast ii. tho Stt Governments, arc at last going horca to per above the heads of their dirty parestj in tho tilt: Hen House of the Federal Government.

The people of the United States are not yet qui ready to revolutionise their Government, and mo grclise their society, as the Spanish America have doqe. As ttie leaders of the Radical party hare i patriotism, and are governed entirely hy corni policy, they propose - to continuo in power by i tempting the hitherto unaccomplished feet making white men out of laggers ; but the hose thinking privates of the party, who'aro govern* mora by principle in politics, can never folk their leaders in such en infamous and -qu'not enterprise. Humanity and the equal rights man are the Radical pleas for c la ?ming -the neg or Chinaman as a brother of tho Caucasian. B this ls very new doctrine, to which bat few whi mea subscribe. In fuct, no white man, unless I bo a designing knave, ot sentimental fool, caa i will admit that any.colored man,-black, red, ye low, or tawny-is his equal.

Sinoe the discovery of America, and of th South West passage to India, the Caucasian rac no longer remain penned up ia the small Conti nont of Europe, to prey on euch other for elboi room, as in former times. The Goths, Vandal and Normans, ins tead of extermina ting the de caying families of their own race, are now engegei ia a ground crusado against all tho colored tribe The Mariner's. Compass, the Steam Engine, ant tue Rifle, together with the Priutioj; Press ant some othur minor ugenoies, have made every wbit( man a crusado against the colored ni. n. S warm i of Caucassians are daily, I might say hourly, leaving tho busy hives of "Europe, to join lo thc mighty crusado whieh the white man is waging against the colored mao all over tbe irond. Thu crusade is the key to all the te a den c. i t> of, the age. It is the primary moving power of .modern socie ty. It bas given the whole white race a delirious fever, which rages much higher than that of th? crusades in tho middle ages. It bas put every thing into a transition state. It is upsetting all old ideas of Government, Law, Religion, Morals ind Trade. It is making every white man t con queror, a land owner and a governor, or extermi oator of the colored man. It is leveling ail aris tocracy ia Government among white men, so as to make each white man, theoretically at least, .inly an equal unit of power in the State. It is making every w?te man only a Democrat as to every other white man, but au aristocrat as to i very colored man ; and this white aristocrat is claiming the usual privilege of a parvenue gover nor, which is to govern others, bat net submit to je governed himself. The late inventions. and discoveries of Art and Science have greatly in tensified this gigantic crusade. The large Ocean Steamer now makes a voyage ?etween distant Continents in ten days, that used to occupy as many weeks or months. At least if ty thousand miles of Rail Road have been built through the colored man's territory within the oat thirty years. England has constructed over four thousand milos of permanent Railway in only me of her Cu lon ?ci-India-during the past seven rears. Perhaps a million miles of such Road ?ill be built over the colored man's land within he lifetime of children now born. The white nan's Iron horse, oarrying both troops and imml ?rants la hi* train, is every where riding flown he colored races; like-the car of Juggernaut. Be iause a redondant white population any where ian easily find relief by taking a short voyage, LS to time, and by doing a little fighting after anding on the shores of some colored man's tar itory, the whito race are multiplying and replen suing beyond all precedent-beyond all ?rpecta iun. Malthus is laid asido as ?bsolete. For every rhite ohild bern into the world, at least two col ired haman beings have to get oat of ii to make oom for tho Caucastian infant. As land is the inly limit to the reproduction of white population, be white race are determined to conquer the land, ,r.d go on with unlimited reproduction. The whito man's Government, as well as indi ?dual white capitalists everywhere, find it better nd cheaper to arm and pay the passage of their h ri f tics? poer and vicious criminals to some col red man's land, where they can quickly become reducers, tax payers ar d customers, than to sup ort them permanently In Poer Houses, or defray be expense.of their punishment for crime, or toot be bill for higher insurance to guard against the iolence of h angry moos. Thero is noihiag whieh makes a meta so free,, o independa at, and so lordly in his aspirations, s ownership of load, and every white nun nov -days eau at oily becomo a Land-owner ?ike has ivery witty of soil, cHmsto, and gove?ment from which' to nieet It is^he con sciousness of this fact which makai th? poor au* sea of over-peopled Europe io restire-to pron? to revolution-so resolved to level all politic*! distiuctiona among white men. The wise aristoc racy of England-the first in Europe te detect the true spirit cf the modern crusade against the colored races,-aot only retard their fall M a privileged class, hut eves reg?late it, by giving employment and scope tor action to ?il ambitious Englishmen in conquering territory from ft? col ored races, and in 'j at truing th??? neos.

The Indian has been xi lied in America, be cause be would neither gire uj bis. laud good naturedly, nor cheerfully work it, without either pay or food, for tho ancestors of oar present Radicals. While land was plentiful and whit? labor scarce in the United Slatey, the negro was brought here also by the faibert of fte pr?tent Radicals to labor bard ipr no compensation, bat the lash. As long as free trade existed in Afri cans,negro slavery obtained throughout the lim its of the United StaUs, but fte Southern States ni.:n who wero in fte Convention that adopto J. the Federal Coustitution, had .a cLaus? infer ted; abolishing the free (African Slave Trade. Thia was. don? against fte earnest protest of the Radi cals of that d?y, who wore the ohief hunters sud importers of the Sable " Brothers" of their grand children. Twenty years were giren, those old.. Saints to wind up their African importing busi ness, but their decendants did not sire fte Sooth an hour to dose up eren the intiiutio* of Slavery. When tho Free Trade'closed, the price of slave* immediately rose, and continued to rite) with occasional fluctuations, until the'cnal abolition of slavery. While the Fro? Trade existed a hearty grow? African seldom cost snore, ot even aa much as a good horse or male. His price embraced no item for nor turing him on til he could subsist himself, and yield a good profit by his labor. A few dollars for citohing him ia his native jangle -a few more dollars for importing him, sad ?UH a few more for prc ht ta the Radical importer, made up the price, Eut for the fatal step ef our Sou them Ancoslora . in closing this free trade, African Slavery migbt h A vo continued to exist throughout the entire Length and breadth of the Uni ted States to the ' present time, except perhaps in som? of thc o?J r sterile, overpeopled States of New-England* ?tali it might have continued so to exist hereafter for perhaps a century, as we yet have plenty of land,, and nil Mexico, Central Amer ina, and Hayti Vrj,. are to be oars whenever fte whit? rsc? hen shs 111 need fte fertile lands of those regions.

Contrary to jaw expectation of oar short-sighted ancestors, since the adoption of fte Federal Constitution which prohibited 'fte- Free Slave -Trade) - the United States har? acquired mon than' three times ss mach new territory a? the old States possessed when -they ?losad ft? Frc? Trade in Afr ?can labor. These new forests had to be cleared, ft? swamps drained, the Rivera leavied, ft? fields tilled, aad th? thousand other demand* for Labor La ftes? new territories,'' to say nothing of ft? aced for more labor in fte old States, had to ba supplied from some quarter. Tho inexhaustible supply from Africa having been cut off, the enormous o'sim a nd for more labor in fte United States hat beer." filled by white labor from Europe, or rafter the demand at the North and West has been finished from this source, while the still Large demand at fte Sooth hat been supplied from no source, bat natani ?aer?ese, and by draining Africans from fte Northern States, which caused si avery to be abtdLshed there, io one State after soother, some Um? sgt. Since tho close of the Free Slave Trade, the South bes never had sufficient labor even for her agricul ture, niue a less to dcvelope ber manufactures, mines, shipping, etc. Proof cf this may be found in the fact, that-st long as fte South could get all needed labor, slave or tree, Charleston sad other Southern cities, kept pace with Not them cities in population, wealth,' commerce and ic every eleoiont of prosperity. Yet it ass not to mach the mere elosiagof. the Slave Trade that prevented the South from oetag well supplied With labor, at it'wsa the adoption of another fatal policy, of which I will ny something in m'y next.
