Gil? more ordering "that nil officers und other persons in the United ?States military service, within the limit's of South Carolina, aid .ind assist Gover? nor Perry in carrying into effect'' _ the measures of the Governor, have been the leadi r\ events of tho week past. Affairs assume, fortunately, a much brighter aspect than it was supposed they woui?, and we begin to feel that there is seme little kopo of our re? gaining our rights to live and speak. JSineo Sherman marched his army through our State, none except those who have actually witnessed the hard? ships, sufferings and privations of our people, can form Any correct iden of what we have undergone. Furs and armies fbJ^LPdesolated oar Stau-, and thexi a rig*! military IKIW? exerted itself to ronifcv that was left to US useless. in the farming and ?planting dis* tracts of tue State, the inha'.i.tantJr cheerfully acquiesce in tho results of the war, imd are siacirely desirous to commence work. But all their pro? tostations are in vain. Let us take au illustration, of which I um perse*.ially acquainted. On the ISantce, as is known to si? familiar with thc section, ve have one of thc finest and most productive regions in the State. The -.daiitors, generally, are large owners of land, and have, at great cost, niad# their plantations perfect gardens. Near Georgetown, a few coincides ox negro soldiers, oras '.general orders" call them, "colored citizen soldiery," ure stationed. Their commanders ure unlettered, ignorant fools, who here? tofore never cifjoyed the privilege of speaking to gentlemen. These fellows now ar?"lords ot ail they- survey."' , Last week it was my good ?or?-une, after nearly four years' absence, to visit my home. ? Of course 1 expected to timi things very different from what I left them, but 1 hud really expected to have found a belier state of affairs. I could not believe it possible thai raen wearing the uniform o? a civi? lized and enlightened Governmou could so far have forgotten thc dude of their position, ns to have committee such public nets of incendiarism ant barbarity. And of course 1 do no hope, to convince one-halt ol' my read ors that what I say is literally true Americans who have not seen thes tldugs would not believe that the exist wherever th? sheltering buckle of Columbia extends. "Yet 'tis true, On our plantation we had inore thu one hundred laboring negroes, whr up to a few weeks since, remained ur, changed in their disposition to ri main wathe place. On the occupatio of the State by the Federal troop: they were all informed that a contrat would be made with those deserving and that liberal pay and good tren mont would bo given to all who woul wish to remain. AH'concluded to ?1 so. A contract was drawn for or \ ear, and witnessed, und ah coinmen cd to work. Tho old and infirm n groes and tho small piccaninnies lu tobe taken care of,and of course th? remained. Things went off as smooth as could be desired for throe or foi weeks, when the sagacious Common cr of the Doyartnient-him whose r cords will be more noted f>>r its praci eal illustration of the au vantages "Greek tire" than for any other eve - look it iuto his head to gorrisou ti entire St it*} with negro soldiej ! Three companies were sent np into our ; section. As soon eus this had become I known, thc negroes from off the plan I tations flocked to tho camps, and ?herc received whiskey and advice. They were told that now they had bc- j come free they need not work; they | ought to take possession of all their i master's property; they.were entitled i to it; that their actions would be sup? ported hy the military. Of course j this put .a stop to all contracts and Labor. Our.negroes in a few dayscon cladcd not to work, but declined to leave the. place, and demanded food. Complaint was made at headquarters, I and thc complainant wasj?moIy in-! formed that if in- (the CoaPkander) j heard of any more disturbances, he would arrest him and send him down j to Castle Pinckney;*fnat thc freed? men -must be treated properly. Ex? planations were not heard, and all at? tempts that way wore met by soldierly (?) rebukes. Appeal was ?nade, and was nifii in tin? same manner. The. resid b ?s just this. Every ono that can do so will leave the eoUntry and go to the mountains. No cr< ps will be plant? ed, and the sweet-scented "man anda brother" will enjoy tho priceless pri? vilege <d freedom, and the great ad? vantage of starvation. This one illus? tration is a fair and truthful state? ment of the "labor system"'of South Carolina. The same state of affairs exist ail over tito country. Here in the city, some days ago, some riots occurred between the while soldiers and the colored., Sohieof the latter were killed. ?t .vas thought by the Commander (Geri. fctatch) that the effect would be rather bad if it wore said that there was hot the mest cor? dial goori feeling existing between the two -c lasses" of soldiers, and, to pre? vent anything ;>i* !!e> kind, an order was i.JSued, Stativ;; tlv.it nisixmiieh t*? certain "citizens ofyCharleston: hail been detected in wearing tho uniform of the United States Army, and that riots had occurred between said eitit z^ns and some of the soldiers, it is ordered that when any citizen shall be discovered wearing said uniform he shall be imprisoned." etc.; and that to prevent any further disturb? ance, no citizen shall be allowed to walk in thc streets a'Vr S o'clock at night, unless provided with a pass from h-.-:'.douai tors. It is*hopod, n >w that the Governor has issued' his proclamation -one giv? ing great satisfaction to all - a better state of affairs will exist, and thc labor 'system will really be organized into some practical shape. Weare to have the Convention ia September, ami there is :i;> doubt, but what our repre? sen tat i a there will be \M< such a one tvs we <ie:;i--!-. The -people of this State, as i ":: ve said, are sincerely de? sirous ol' conforming to tl ie actual situation, and, if they are l?llowod to speak for themselves, will take tin uirlio.xt opportunity of securing law and order. We will have no party issues in tho election for the ' ?iinven? tion, lint there is almost a universa] j ?b termination to select new men- rep? resentative one--; who, heretofore, have not been known in thc political j World, and who have no political hob j oles. There is little news ?? a loca ; character in Charleston. Gen. Gill more L aves the city to-day for the up , country, und will meet Governo] Perry at Columbia. We ure to have ; j new daily journal soon, to he calle? The Daily Ne irs. A line opening io; I such an enterprise exist--, and if tin j publishers properly conduct it tho; j will meet with great success. J di not know any of theparties connecte* j with the paper.
