A Severe Letter.
The Columbia Phoenix of Monday publishes
the following satirical letter from W. B. Nash,
the colored orator of Columbia, whoso honest
utterances in behalf of the right, have drawn
white?tho epithet "traitor." Nash is fully a
match fur his mouthy antagonists.
Columhia, March 28, 1807.
Messrs. Editors see in your paper of this
morning, that at a meeting of the colored peo
plo hold ut Union Hall, on tho 25th instant,
grave charges Were mado against mo, on nc
countof.the speech, or "remarks, made" by me
on the 18th instant.
This so-called public meeting was held in a
hall which is thirty-one feet nine inches by
thirty feet. Perhaps thero wero 250 persons
present. Well, who composed that meeting';'
I learn that tho greater part?in their unso
phisticated credulity?had been made to be
lieve that my notion was to put thorn baqk into
slavery. This meeting was led on by Hob
Trice and his satraps, foreign and domestic.
Oh ! my country, when I think of the fate of
the children of Israel. I tremble for my pco^
pie.
At this meeting it Was determined that uone
of my friends should bo heard. When Mr.
Davis tried to sneak, he was hissed. Vet he
would bo beard, and his remarks caused such a
division among them that the chairman had to
take a vote three times to decide whether the
resolutions wore passed or not.
Now for tho committee which brought in the
resolutions, which had been previously prepar
ed. First, who is Bob Tricet He came here
a hardshell Baptist; the next wo heard of him
ho was a temperance lecturer; next he became
a Catholic, and uow n bar-room politician. But
I forbear, Forest, poor Forest, 1 leave you to
yourself?the worst company you could have
got in.
Now, Williams, did you not tell three gentlo
meu of this city that you never wanted to have
anything more to do with the Yankccss?that
you had come home to live among your own
people ? You now denounce me as "a traitor,"
because I have sympathy for my fellow-citizens.
Lo tboy wliito or bhick. if this makes me a
traitor, I ask for no prouder inscription on
my tomb than "W. B. Nash, the Traitor."
Thank (Jod. I can look up to Heaven and
say that I never did pledge myself to any man
to vote or act against the interests of my State.
I am a Union man. but a South Carol in ion.
Fitzsimmons I respect us a gentleman. But
I would ask the Chairman of this so-called
meeting why be. did not publish all tho resolu
tions passed? Is he riding the rail between
the North and the South? For shame, man!
When your prompters behind the scenes pre
pared this resolution, your heart failed you,
and you would not publish it. Like the owl,
you fear the light. I now ask you it you and
your party dare to meet me before the people
in daylight ? I say to you, beware! lest when
you think you are crushing a worm, you are.
grasping a scorpion. Oh ! jackass ! jackass !
the lion is neither dead nor asleep.

SATURDAY, APRIL ?, 1S(J7.
While ice reserve tu ourselves the right of'defi
ning our own political position bt/ means of our
editorial columns, we will be.pleased to publish
contributions from our fellow-citizens upon the
grace questions which war agitate the v1",
? 1 t ,i .? ? ? ? ? ? i ..otto

' . ,. . 1 ictth ours
or not. A district news^t er comidcr
should be an index nj fne va<(tus fafaof
^ir^sennmei? the section of country in which
, cl:r'~>ates. Our columns are open, fla re/ore,
/or any communications properly written, accom
panied by a responsible lanne, not personal in
their character, nor absolutely injurious in their
tendency;
The People's Voice.
Of late, great interest has been manifested
in every section of our State upon the subject
of a further stay upon suits at law, and in
different sections the results of this popular
sentiment have developed themselves in various
ways. Lately, in Chester District, the Solici
tor moved that the whole civil docket be con
tinued, and it was so ordered, with the unami
nious consent of the B;u\ The same was the
case in Lancaster also. In Yorkville, his
Honor the presiding judge was called upon by
a committee of citizens, and warned not to in
sist upon the call ofjhe civil docket. As suaui,
however as the Court was in session, he in
structed the grand jury to inquire if there was
any organization of men. so lawless, as to aim
at resisting the duo administration of the laws
in the Courts of the State. The grand jury
investigated the matter, called before them for
examination the very ringleader of the move
ment, and upon his disclaiming any such in
surrectionary intention, reported that the citi
zens of York District were willing to abide by
the laws of the land.
As regards this District, we have beard of
two plans now in agitation on this subject.
One is, a public meeting of the citizens of
Orangeburg District at the Court House on
Monday next, to request of the members of the
Bar n similar course to that adopted in Ches
ter Disfri.., This seems to bo the most satis
factory mm. r in which such an object can
be attained, und if the obligation of an Attorney
to bis Client can bo reconciled with such a
measure, it seems to us tho most feasible plan
for accomplishing the desired result. We know
that the members of the Bar arc as [deeply in
terested in the welfare of the country as any
class of their fellow-citizens, and we feel jus
?
consistently with their oaths of office, Hud' their
duty to their rospueiivc clients.
Tho other plan is one that wc .nre ashamed
to admit even to have been for a moment* en
tertained by any South Carolinian. It is to
appcul to Daniel K. Sickles, to interpose his
military authority, and close the Courts. Can
we believe, in this hour of our dire ektromitv,
when our State is enthralled, bowed clown be
neath' tho iron hand of the oppressor, when
her ancient glory is departed, and but a few
relics remain of her former majesty and great
ness,?can we believe, that any of .her sons, in
such an hour, would appeal to her enemies to
despoil her of the few remaining vestiges of her
power ? If such there he, who call themselves
her children, let them pause ere they strike
npon the bleeding breast of their desolate
mother the parricidal blow. Let them also
remcuindr, that those who are v. i!!if:g to lick
the hand that smites them, deserve not to be
free.
jVo trust our fellow-citizens will not be de
luded into action on this subject, which they
may hereafter bitterly regret. Conquered as
we are, cast down as we are, despondent as we
are compelled tu be, honor is not yet lost ? and
we need not sacrifice principle ami fair fame
upou the altar of selfishness. It it is necessary
to interpose a stay to the prosecution of suits,
by all that is dear to us of the past, by all that
is loll to us worth living for in the present,by
all our hopes of a history in the future of which
we need not be ashamed, let us accomplish the
result by a concert td'action among ourselves,
and not aim at tho achievement of these ends
by the sacrifice of solf-respoet, patriotism and
honor.
A llifi in the Clouds.
The Elections held in Connecticut ou tl;v
1st hist., have resulted in the success of the
Democrats. They have elevated to office their
candidate for Governor and three out of four
members of Congress. As the former Governor
and the entire Congressional delegation were
thorough Radicals, this is no insignificant
victory, and if in politics it be true that ??coin
ing events cast their shadows before," we may
well hope that the triumphs of fanaticism are
at an cud. and that thp'V?icu'of Justice and
Conservatism will be no longer stifled by the
wild surges of passion.

The Charleston Mtrruri/, of Thursday, Inc
thc following well timed remarks upon j;i ?
! position taken by our Kxccutive at tl ',?? (j- u> ?
The intelligence of two in{lttcrs of vital
signjficancy came to - rm Tuesday ;?first, the
Radicals wcra overthrown by the Democrats,
in Cn:r i?T10u( j,y t|1L. eleettoti of a Dcmocartic
i, j over nor and three out of lour of tin' members
of Congress ; and second, application was about
to be made to the Supreme Court of the United
States in Washington, by the States of Mississip
pi and Alabama, to test the constitutionality of
the late M ilitary act. These are the most auspi
cious events which have taken place, since the
gloom of Radical despotism settled over tho
South. Yet, at this very time, here in South
Carolina, the (lovcrnor of the State, as our
readers have seen from his speech published by
us yesterday, denounces the Democratic party.
?and declares that he will make no effort
whatever to defeat the Military act. by invoking
the interposition of the Supreme Cottrt of the
United States.
[roll tiii: on^UKiirua nlws.]
Our Policy.
What course we should pursue is not at all
obvious, if the discordant advice, of those who
are all profoundly interested is any evidence of
uncertainty. Were the evils attendant on
either course dctcrniinable or fixed, the rewards
of action declared and certain, the extent and
lit: its of exactions bounded by any power
strung enough to restrain the mad passions of
unbridled bate ami lawless aggression; then
we might easily choose the best or least dan
gerous id'the many ways, none id" which seem
strewn with flowers.
The sole argument, as far as I can appreciate
it, nf those who advise a full and active accept
ance ofthc terms offered, is. that they will be
enforced at any rate, and. unless we accept,
still harsher will be imposed.
This may be true; but I cannot find that
any terms have been offered; nor that any as
surance exists, that any action on our part will
be sufficient to satiate the vengeance or malice
nf those who have not proposed terms, but have
issued decrees, which are borne M us on the
points of the bayonet.
j I regard then nur condition irremediable, at
present, by any thing we can do; for the will
and the power to oppress us are coexistent and
coextensive. Nu humiliation, no abject en
treaty, no desecration ol manhood, self-respect
and patriotism can purchase aught but woes
embittered by shame and disgrace, because
created by ourselves. It but remains for us
then to adopt that course which involves us as
little as possinle in the consequences of this
wild and temporary triumph of party. \Vc
alone can make the results permanent.
'> Rut should we conclude to accept. as wise,
the advice of those persuading co-operative ac
(and to ensure the defeat of th? Radicals by se
curing the certain and abiding friendship of
tho negfo, by admitting him to full social as
well as political equality, dividing our lands
with them and bestowing our women in mar
riage upon them as a stroke of policy, lest Cnn
igross may confiscate all our lands and distrib
ute all our women among those gallant .colored
soldiers, to whom their gratitude is as bound
less as their hate of ourselves. This, at least,
;s the argument tarried to its legitimate, inovi
tab 1c conclusion ; lor we must get ahead of
them to succeed. If we once start this down
ward ro.'ul not short of this can we halt. Then
if this prk'O be too tremendous for any even
hoped fur re.Hilt, lu?w can we pay it fur that
which neither /night nor probability ensures.
(Congress makes no promise, gives no guaran
tee, scarcely extern?> n reasonable hope that
such a sacrifice will pin 'diiise peace and secu
rity. Without waiting to hvar tho expression
of Southern sentiment, u co.nfise.",tK>ii bill'was
introduced, and not voted down, hut de.erred.
Shall we then barter for tiailgM, i.h?t of
which, nut even the hatred of our enemies c.''u
despoil us? .Shall we give perpetuity to hu.s j
(abhorrent to every white man, and distasteful
to every decent intelligent negro himself ? I
firmly believe that our action alone can ami
will give life to this creation of hate and injus
tice, and that if we once adopt it as our own.
we can never discard or disown it hereafter.
Hotter let the execution of unconstitutional
laws be accompanied with every mark of ?ut
L~"'e and vi .'!'.'"ce. Retter let bayonets reflect
r r. -
into the eyes of the world, every sunbeam,
visits our unhappy land. Retter let tyranny
be carried to its bloody finale* our lands be
parcelled out among the negroes* our bodies
bo consigned to military prisions or pierced by
the bullets of* the soldiers*sent, to see that we
have a free c/.?*/e? in this question* for all
these but tend to hasten that revulsion which,
sooucr or later, will sweep away those who now
revel in unchecked power, but can never give
permanence to their acts except by our con
sent.
Certainly I advise no resistance, which would '
;b? ?s vain as it wutlld be foi lish and outrage
ously unpatriotic. We cm simply express our
solemn protest by abstaining from any acquies
cence. Til suffer outrage and indignity, when
inflicted by irresistible power, can be no dis
grace; but to consent to it. to receive it will- I
ingfy, is disgraceful ami ruinous, and will bear
all the bitte-.- faiitis of ;.l! base actions.
True we cannot see dearly the results of
non-action as we cannot foresee tln.su of active
acceptance; since' in either case, we are at the
will of those who have cert..inly not been re
strained by conditions ngrced tu by us.
We can only decide to do what we know to
be honorable and rigid reguutless of conse

After thorough preparation, he entered the
Soiit!: Carolina College in 18 111, and at once
took a prominent stand. His high character,
his excellent talents, his winning manners ob
tained and secured f?r him all offices in the gift
of the students. Having been the Captain of
the College Cadets and the 1'resident of his
Society, he graduated in IS ID with the honors
j of his class.
I'pon his entrance upon the more active
duties of life, he pursued his hereditary pro
fession of the law. and \v;is duly admitted to
the bar. With a*? ardent love for his profession,
with a practice more extensive than usually
falls to the lot of young men. with studious
habits and untiring energy, with thorough
preparation and ability in till his cases, be pro
duced a decided impression, both on tin- bench
and the bar. and the proudest rewards of his
most honorable calling were within bis reach.
Iiis native district, fully appreciating "the
grasp of his intellect and tlie strong points of
his character, called him to a scat in the Legis
lature. A States rights man of the most strict
school, at the first outbreak of this revolution
he turned bis back on the brilliant premises of
the fill lire and the treasures of his domestic
life, and ollere?I all these :isn sacrifice on the
altar of his country. His offering has been ac
cepted.
Having been elected lieutenant colonel of
the first regiment raised under the call of the
Legislature, he devoted tho wealth of his talents
and of his energy to its preparation for service.
As its colonel be led it oil the battle field of
Manassas, and before it on the day of trial and
of victory he no t his fate. Though wounded,
yet under a strong sense of duly, which was
ever his irutdinjr characteristic, he persisted in
remaining on the field, and it was only w hen
he had received bis second and his dcatll-WOUIld
that he consented to bis removal. In the fsico
of di ath he otillilly prepared lor his end; sent
soothing messages to her who had been the
chief joy of bis life; expressed his perfect con

i
Christian soldier passed to his reward.

sorrow which overwhelms them! Among the
inner circle of his friends, those who witnessed
the bright dawn of his earlier years, und in the
quiet walks of college life held sweet com

felt the sorrow, as they learn that the best

When the Washington Light Infantry went
into the field he joined them, and shared then'
toils and hardships. Upon them was formed
the F.utaw Regiment, of which he remained a
private, until his appointment, in the full of
1803, to a Lieutenancy in Col. Butler's Regi
ment of Regulars. Though raised as Regular
Infantry, this regiment was drilled as Artillery,

Con. Sickles, Gov. Orr and Senator Campbell,
and other notable characters were pre'scut and
spoke. Gov. Orr's address urgently advocated
a co-operative submission to the new order of
things. He was very severe on the Democrat
ic party?and announced himself as opposed to
the present formation of national parties in tho
State.
It i,; stated, says tho Boston Post, of tho
2.6th, that Geh. P. F. Butler hais already in
type a volume dissecting the,: reputation and
military services of (loh. U..S. Grant. It is
not to bo published, however, at present, Gen.
Butler preferring to wait until Congress shall

A second attempt to ride in the street cars
was made in Charleston on Monday last by
the colored people. Four or five negro men
entered and demanded as their right and privi
lege to be allowed to sit with the white per
sonages. As their immediate ejectment would
have produced a riot, they were permitted to
ride as 4iir as the guard house, where they wero
arrested by the police and*afterwards turned
over to the military to bo tried for infringing
the RVdrond Company's regulations and at
tempting to provoke a riot.
Several ears were afterwards brick-hatted by
the friends of these cxporiincntulists, and ill
one instauco a lady was struck in tho head. A
negro boy was arrested with his pocket full of
bricks who stated that ho had been hired to as.
sault the cars.
While the incidental subject of reconstruct
ing Maryland was being talked of iu the Son
ate, Mr. Yates took occasion to allude to tho
refusal of the people of Ohio to grant negro
suffrage, and advocated its enactment, for that,
State also. This brought out Mr. Sherman,
who declared that any interference by Congress
iu this matter would only inflame the State
pride of the Ohioaus. and retard tho accom
plishment of the.end desired, and, in answer to
a direct quest ion. he said that Congress had no
right to interfere with tho suffrage in the loyal
States, and he should not vote for such a Bill.
This crumb of comfort is commended to the
li.idical agitators of Maryland. Sauce for the
goose is sauce for the gander, surely.
