Oar Governor, So-Called.
Forney-he of lying telegrams
publishes a communication from a
correspondent, containing an extract
from a private letter, which he says
?was written from Columbia, by our
Governor, so-called, to some ono in
Washington. That Gen. Scott wrote
such a letter, is, of course, very
doubtful, sinco Forney publishes it.
The presumption is, that every thing
which appears in that paper from tho
South, is written in rome dirty back?
room of its establishment in "Wash?
ington. But ns the extract is very
like the stuff which tho negro ipecac
ejects from radical emuuetories-we
lay tho communication before our
readers:
SOOTH CAROLINA.
To the Editor of the Press:
SIB: A private letter from Gov. R.
K. Scott, of South Carolina, contains
the following, which may not be un?
interesting to your renders:
Tho Legislature is bringing its
work to a' close, when nil will take
the field for Grant; wo mnst elect
him; his defeat will bring war and
carnage to the South. Tho peoplo of
the North do not believe this, but let
me assure you there is no help for it.
The great question with tho rebels is,
who shall hold the offices; they don't
care whether tho negro votes or not,
so thnt ho will vote for his old mas?
ter, and if ho does not, they intend
to either compel bim to, or prevent
his voting; we intend ho shall vote
aa ho pleasos.
If Seymour and Blair are elected,
we will have to fight for our right to
even live here. The spirit of rebel?
lion is worse than in 1860; both they
and ourselves look for Blair's election
to bring a war more fierce and bloody
than the ono wo have passed through.
Grant's election will givo peaco and
quiet to tho couutiy, and that alone
will satisfy these deludod peoplo that
tho loyal peoplo of the Union will not
suffer traitors, who, in addition to
their other crimes, aro cold-blooded
murderers of the loyal people of the
South. There has not been less than
one man shot each day for tho past
two weeks, and a Democratic success
would bo tho knoll of freedom in the
South.
There is a Governor, who calls tho
whole whito race in South Carolina,
with the exception of not ono man in
fifty-that raco which owns ninety
nine out of one hundred of tho pro?
perty in tho Stato, "rebels." They
are not "citizens," under bis august
rule, but they aro "rebels." Botween
rulers and rebels, there is, and eau
be, but ono relation-that of hostility.
It is his duty as Governor, to put
down, try and hang "rebels." And
if thia is his duty, wo must presume
that ho will perform it. So boro is a
life and death issue, between our
Governor, so-called, uud the white
people of South Carolina. As he
recognizes them as "rob?is" to bo
hung, can they recognizo him as
anything elso than an enemy to be
killed? This ia tho logical rolatiou
which our Governor, so-called, makes
for himself, towards the whito race of
South Carolina.
But our Governor is not only tims
tenderly disposed towards his whito
subjects in South Carolino; but ho
oxtends his mantle of blood over the
whole South. Ho says the defeat of
Grant, "will bring war and carnago
to the South." How the "war and
carnage" is to arise, ho does not ex?
plain. The Democratic party, and
tho whito race, which will have con?
quered at the polls by the rejection
of Grant and tho election of Sey?
mour, certainly will havo no cause to
resort to "war and blood." Tho poli?
tical and the physical power of tho
country will bo in their hands. "War
and blood" can then bo producod
only by thoso who shall resist tho
political and physical power of tho
country, iu thc bands of tho Demo
crate. Who aro they? Nobody but
tho radical carpet-baggers, scalawags,
and negroes! Now, this king of the
carpet-baggers, draws largely ou our
credulity, when he iutiruatos "war
and blood" ns tho necessary result,
of their dominion not being recog?
nized. Forney's correspondent is
also full of light. Ho says, "the
election of Blair will bring a war
moro fierce and bloody than the one
we havo passed through." But,
strange to say, whilst their tigers ore
raving for war and blood iu the pa?
pers-they assume in Washington thc
attitude of bleating and helpless
lambs. They there say, to their
party, that unless they havo the mili?
tary of the United States to protect
them, they will bo killed-they will
bo driven out of tho country.
"Wo suppose, therefore, that tho
war and blood in tho South, which
the defeat of Graut will occasion, is
to bo tho work of the United States
soldiery. But how aro you to get
them, if Grant is defeated? Will
President Johnson, will Seymour
send them, to support Governors,
who consider the white raco to be
"rebels"-or to support Governments
set up by tho bayonet, with carpet?
baggers, and scalawags, and radical
negroes to rule? Wo trow not. Then
where is tho "blood and war" to
come from? Gen. Scott will bc left
to his "loil" subjects. Or are we to
understand that should Grant bo de?
feated, ho intends to rally them and
to lead them against the "rebels" in
South Carolina? This must be his
meaning. Tho negroes on tho coast
say that they arc arming and drilling
athis command. If this is his mean?
ing, Boabdil and Falstaff wore small
potatoes, compared with this gigan?
tic pumpkin. A reward of ten mil?
lions of dollars to catch Scott would
bo a mockery of bis humanity.
Greoley, if not quite as valorous as
our so-called Governor, is far moro
astute. Ho anticipates peace for the
South, under radical reconstruction,
with nothing but tho United States
bayonet. Wo all along said this was
their policy from tho first day the
project was announced. It was not
"reconstruction" at all; but war and
despotism. Ho has sense enough to
seo that the "war and blood" will
not como from tho defeat of Grant,
but from bis election. Ho publisher
the question put to bim by a corres?
pondent us follows:
What can Grant do for us? Wt
are being waylaid and slaughtered n*
though wo wero wolves, and there
seems to be no prospect that the re
bois will bate us hiss because o
Grant's election. What, then, cai
that election do for us?
Now, hero is Greeley's answer:
II. The President is Commander
iu-Chief of the army, and selects tlx
commanders of departments. Th?
rob?is aro now favored by the rule o
such satraps as Buchanan and Gillen)
These will change their tune direct!;
upon Grant's election ; if not, bette
mon will replace them, nail Andrei
Johnson been put out of office whet
impeached the Camilla butcheiy
and many more such-would neve
have taken plaao.
III. The election of Grant will ?lr
termine, for at least four years, thu
"loyal mon shall rnlo 'America.'
Johnson declared it, but has prove
false to his own principle; Grui:
never will. The postmasters, anda
other Federal officers throughout th
Sou th,{will be Unionists and anti-Kt
Klux; they, with the army, will fort
a nucleus of whito unionism in ever
Southern community. Wo shall fin
or create means to punish ruffian
and murderers, rely on it!
Here is tho truth confessed. "Til
postulasteis and all other Feder
officers throughout tho South will 1
Unionists and anti-Ku Klux; the;
with the army, will form a nuclei
of white Unionism iu every Southe)
community." Hero is tito "war an
blood;" and it is to follow Grant
election. "Tho army" of tho Unite
States is to be used to rule Southe)
peoplo along with the carpet-baggi
anil tho negro. If Seymour is olec
ed, "tho army" canuot be thus use
and, therefore, thoro will be no wa
and no blood. Left to tho Sonthci
people to disposo of, the wicked i
oendiarios and negroites, who affo
to rule us by tho bayouent, will tal
care to dispose of themselves. Th?
will not "bo swift to shod blood"
but very swift to avoid its sheddiu
Tho South will then have tho poac
not of a peoplo oppressed and d
spotically rulod, but of a people aga
in the possession of rights undor tl
Constitution of tbe United Stat?
And all mon from tho North, t
East ami the Wost, who ohooso
como and sottle, as quiet, peaceal
citizens, will be welcome to purs
prosperity and happiness here accoi

us have peace.-Charleston Meroin

coas aro componed of? Givo heed for a

unpurified alcohol, containing a consider?
able portion of/(?si? o/i"-a poison almost
as deadly an prussic acid. Tho basis of
the regular tinctures of the Materia Me?
dica is tho same. No amount of "borbal
extracts" can overcome thc bad tendoncy
of this pernicious clement. Thc cssonco
of sound ryo, thoroughly rectified, is tho
only stimulant which eau bo safely used
as a component of a tonic, alterative and
anti-bilious medicine, and HOSTETTER'8
STOMACH BITTERS is tho only medi?
cinal preparation in tho world in which
this art icio is used as an ingredient.
Heneo tho extraordinary effects of this
great spocific. It gives strength without
producing excitement. No other tonio
does this. All tho ordinary bitters Hush
tho face and affect tho brain. ITostetter's
Bitters diffuses an agreeable calm through
tho nervous system, promotes eligestiou
and produces sleep. No other tonic so
quickly revives tho exhausted physical
energies, restores tho appetite and re?
moves tho gloom and depression which
always accompanies weakness of tho
bodily powers. It purges from the sys?
tem the morbid humors which retard its
natural functions, and which bring pale?
ness to tho cheek and suffering to tho
brow. It banishes those clogs upon plea?
sure, restores tho system tu high health,
and necessarily proves a valuable adjunct
to thc digestivo organs. A trial is all that
is needed to establish it in the confidence
of the skeptic. September SO -fC

THE WEEKLY GLEANER,
A LARGE EIGHT"PA?ill JOURNAL OF
NEWS, POLITICS, LITERATURE.
An excellent Paper for Country Reading.
ITS POLITICS DEMOCRATIC
IN THE GREAT FIGHT
AGAINST RADICAL USURPATION.
TO THE PEOPLE OF THE SOUTH.
THE WEEKLY GLEANER-Devoted to
the rehabilitation of tho South in its former
prosperity-is offered to subscribers at tho
low rate of $1.50 for six months.
Tho anualB of tho American Repuhlic
show no political campaign comparable in
the magnitude of its issues and tho mo?
mentousness of its results to that for tho
Presidency, now pending. Indeed, tho
very lifo of freo government is on trial,
and it will ho a sad commentary on the
capacity of the people for tho exercise of
that high trust if they, thc jurors who are
to try the issue, pronoun o a verdict of
solf-condemnation. If tho South has any
hope it is in thc success of the Democratic
party in the coming Presidential election;
and every citizen is vitally interested in
tho progress of tho hattie, and cannot
afford to he without a sound and reliable
newspaper.
As an organ, not only of sound Demo?
cratic principles, but as a vehicle of ge?
neral news, the GLEANER is confidently
commended to Southern support. A large
eight-pagO paper, of forty-Light columns,
lilied with the contributions of ahle cor?
respondents, the daily wealth of tele?
graphic communication and readable edi?
torials. Especially will it be valuable as
an organ to disabuso the Northern mind
of the falsehoods in relation to Southern
thought and actions, with which it is the
industrious vocation of certain parties to
poison the springs of Northern fcoling on
Southern subjects. In this view of thc
matter, no moro valuable aid to thc true
reconstruction of the country and restora?
tion of jtint sentiment at the North toward
the South can ho rendered than hy sub?
scribing to tho WEEKLY GLEANER and
Hooding it to acquaintances and friends in
the Northern States.
Wc ask tho aid of such of our political
