of the nett Congressional session, unless It is
specially called for by some exigency.
There will probably be some considerable de
lay in the appointment of a Provisional Goner
nor for South Carolba. The delegation here do
not all represent tool:Waists of the State, the
few there aro to reptant. One w alms to be
the giver of advice • to President Johnhnson, 'has
declared in Charleston that he wished the Yan
kees had but one Heat that he might tat It.
Another declared that he would burn his house
rather than a damned Yankee should pollute it
with his presence, and so oa throughthe attire
list. It le likely, therefore, ithat-South Carolina
will be suffered to lie out lit the cold for; the
pretest.
Dr. A. G. Mackey, the,newly appointed Collec
tor at Charleston, has returned to the city, a ft er
his visitio West P as
and is showing up this
Pseudo South Carolina delegation in vivid cilors.
He charges that the men composing the delega
tion aow here, were original seausilonlate. They
admit it to be true, and attempt no concealment.
CoL Yates, of the delegation, interred Fort Sum
ter immediately after Its evacuation by MO:An
demon, and remained In the rebel service until
,the surrender of. Joe. Johnston. Others of the
deLmd.lon voted and acted as consistent arca
elonleta throughout. -They are now here
acknowledging themselves defeated and subju
gated. They asX nothing but pardon sad the
power of appoin tin g civil officers. The State Is
at present milliard law; • Its citizens are com
pletely humbled; a fearful proportion of them
. are literally dertitide of all means of support and
starving; all manna of lawleeneru and crime Is
elannhsgly on the becresee, and the ohly hope
for, public or private Tune Is admitted
to be in the .pretection :of federal laws.
The names Of r ex-Cangressman Wm. W. Boyce
'and Mr. Merlilley, are among those submittel by
; the delegation aa, certain to give entire satisfac.
then to the State, although theydisclaim all de
'sire to influence the President's appointment.

and declared for peace a year ago. MaJMclillley
Toted against secession In the outset, and, ke
Governor Aiken, held aloof throughout the war.
There is evidently very little sympathy beftiaen
these delegates and Mr. Mackey, whose loyalty
is accepted by the north without question. The
delegates are to have another hearing on Satur
day.

Moans, June 13, 1965.
Of the state of affairs here no one can have an
Idea, except in my position ; having lived here,
and being able to mix with the peopiptsui learn
their real sentiments. Though whi, there
isnot one triton man now In a hundred, even of
the most diluted land, and It will be and day for
the republic when states, In the awfully demor
alized Condition that these are, come into
Congress the peers and equals of the loyal North
em States; For all I can see, these people must
be governed by the strong arm for years, and un
til they come to their senaes, it such a miracu
lous occurrence can ever take plate. There are
certainly not ait many truly loyal men In any of
these towns u saved Sodom and Gomorrah, nor
likely to be as matters are maineed now.
In this State, aaNenal, the mush aregetting
the offces. Duff Green, a former Confederate
miartermaster, who served all through the war,
and was noted for ids extreme oplntons and ac
tions, and tyrannical persecution of Union men,
was one of the first to take the oath, and get an
appointment under C. C. A. Da.ter, special
Treasury Agent; over a loyal aPVlcant, who, a
Ls Banks, appears determined to make everything
right by giving parties and guzzling the secesh.
Of the stale of affairs here, scarcely any North
ern man can judge properly, and I confess I see
no basis fora beginning to create proper anti
masts among these people. Archimedes prorate
ed to lift the world if he could have a place to
- put his lever on. There seems to me to be no
place to begin to create loyalty In any
of these States. The deepest and most
subtle schemes are plotting to rob
the poor negro of all he has—the labor of his
hands, and that seems the height of the ambition
of these people. I never was at extremist, bat
I confess that the only hope I can see for per

the same thing, is in negro suffrage, dreadful as
It would seem to Southerners, who still regard

National Freed Convention.
We see It Is proposed that a National Feeed•
men's Convention should be called to meet in
the city of Baltimore, and discerns the best man

thenlf for their new duties.is started at pres
enti in regard to a single denomination of Chris
tians, and am a means of re-uniting the Baptists
North and South, who have been for years alien
ated In their works of Christian benevolence. It
seems that several persons In Richmond, and
Dr. Fuller, of Baltimore, are anxious for such a
movement. We mention It chiefly 4 suggest
whether other-. dm minatiotus also could not
make similar movements, and Indeed whether
citizens, both North and South, could not meet
voluntarily under suitable arrangements, to
discus the new duties and relations devolving
upon them . _
After the Saxons had overrun England. and
Augustin and his mbssioneries established them
selves
In Canterbury, there ware several attempts
to farm conferences for cohperative movements
in the British Islands; but little came of them,
however, and that type of Christianity which
prevailed etCanterbury spread through England,
while Wales and Scotland the forms taught at
Ina prevailed generally, and centuries later
lock the form of Presbyterianism in Scotland,
and Erlecopacy . In England.
In all. probability there might be much the
same differencee kept up for gemeratkratif not
ages terw between Northern , and' Southern
Christians even of the same denominations, but
for two circumstances. The chief of these Is
that ralboads and steamboats produce such a
tide ofebmmercial intercourse, that It is Impos
sible foe old and local regniationa to prevent the
moat bfbed and liberal views from rotten out all
the most bantow and restricted Measi'whether in
the North or the South. But beyond all this
there is to much practicawork to be done, that

to so enlarge the franchise as to embrace at

which are alarniailve on this subject, will be

It is believed that the Governor in his message
will Clone to the followin4 subjects of interest:
He will recommend the Izt of suffrage to be
extended to the people of irginia, by enactment
of the General assembv, on the same terms
and. conditions as were extended to North

in the proclamation of the President of the
United States to be accorded to the people of

the conquered people, deprecating any course
that will superinduce unnecessary cause for bit

Her rorlof Andersoaville and Florence.
Mr. W. J. Bitable, a member of the "Frigpd
Rifles," which left this city at the early pairof
the war to join the Excelsior Brigade, dropped
In upon us the other evening. He was one of
those unlucky guests bt the death carnival at
Andersonville and Florence, having 'peen taken
prisoner on the advance of the Array of the Po
tomac In May, 1864. In September of the same
year the prisoners were removed from Anderson
villa to Florence, S. C. After arriving at the
latter prison the inmates made an attempt to es
cape in a tunnel which had been dog out by the
mita:uteri at night, but failed; for upon the night
fixed for'the escape of the prisoners, a rebel offi
cer happened to ride over the intended opening
of the tunnel, when It caved in, almost breaking
his neck. A second attempt to escape. also
proved futile. In January, 11306, Mr. Ritchie,
with a fellow-prisoner named John Mulherron,
of the gunboat Roanoke, a brave tar who ha d'
participated in no less than thirty-Mx naval en
gagements, made their escape one day on being
sent -on a detail to bring wood. Sixteen bad
tried to escape, but only four had got' off.
Ritchie and • his friend Mattawan walked
to Augusta, thirty miles, . and while 'on
their way to Savannah they were arrested,
and charged with being rebel deserters.
Thinking that they would have better facilities
for escaping if they did not undeceive their cap
tors, they made no denial, and were kept under
guard with a lot of rebel deserters, until,. their

to the bar of Allegheny county in 1801, being
then about twenty.two years of age.- His
career as a lawyer was not only succesafol
but brilliant, and his talents soon wired for
him important positions of honor and trust- In
.
1893 he was appointed President Judge of the
Court of Common Pleas of this county, and warn
the fourth in the line of Presideat Judgerof
that court, having been preceded by Judges 125 m.
Wallace, Alex. Addiont, and Samuel Roberta.
Efts successors were Judgel Sheer, Dallas, Pat
ton, McClure and the present Judge Sterrett.
He was also a Judge of the United States Ens
e_t Court, and was elected to the Lower House
of Congress„ but declined to serve. In 11333 we •
find him a member of the United States Senate
from Pennsylvania, during the Presidential term
of Andrew Jackson. Ile was Minister to Russia
tinder President . Van Buren, and an the 15th of
February, 1844, was confirmed as Secretary of
War under the atimlnisfrafton of John Tyler.
After filling these and other public positions
with honor and fidelity, he retired to private
Ife, although he has ever -slime to a
deep interest in publici. &Rafts; - especially
since . the
.breaking out- of the rebellion.
us advanced age and Wedded constitution
prevented him"from taking any active part lathe
Mars of the payt four years, yet his means and
his Influence have been - trimly given in support
of thet imvernment. It is not our purpose to
give even a sketch of hie-life or public ser
vices, and we must leave that work to other and
abler hands. Suffice It to say that he was an acd
compliabed scholar, an) able; lawyer, an
eloquent speaker, and a chaste and
forcible writer. In private life he was
high-minded and honorable in his dealings, affa
ble and agreeable In his social intercourse, and
universally
.eeteemed and honored' by all who'
enjoyed the pleasure of his acquaintance. For
a year or two peat he baa been confined mostly
to his residence, and although he had - become
quite feeble from the infirmities of
age, the public - had received no Intl
matios of his serious illness. Hie
death, therefore, was unexpected, and was
ceased, as we are informed, by paralysis of the
heart. He had lived a long, eventful and use
fat life, and his death willcast s deep gloom over
a very large circle of relatives and friends, and
will be sincerely yegretted by the entire commu
nity. The arrangements for the funeral will be
announced hereafter.
