CHARLESTON, June 15,1866.—1 t would be
a curious calculation to ascertain how much
of the life of a Southernman is spent in wait
ing. I may safely say that of every week
bare, three days , have been sacrificed simply
in waiting for means of transportation. We
snade an early start from St. Helena in order
to reach Beaufort in time for the 4P. M•
boat from Savannah to Charreston. Four
o'clock came but with it no boat; dive, six,
eight, ten, eleven passed, and at last the
steam whistle shrieked its shrill 'iadsum."
We made baste to go aboard, wearied out
with the most unprofitable of weariness—
waiting—crept into our berths, and after a
quiet night's rest, waked up, surely at
Charleston, for the vessel was in port. Im
agine our disgust to find the morning sun
looking brightly down on Beaufort, and we
still lying in dock, waiting.
Nothing of interest marked the day on
board, the "Lizzie Baker," (for seasickness ,
is not interesting,) except perhaps an ac•
count of Mrs. Jefferson Davis and her plans
W. - en me by an old family servant, who
still remains faithful in adversity. He was
en his way frern - Washington, where he had
lett MraDavis, with a commission to make
arrangements • •for opening a slimmer
boarding house, which she proposes
to keep at a 'Sulphur spring
near Macon, CT ' a . In reply-to questions he
stated that Mr. Davis was expected home
about the middle of July; that Mrs., Davis.
was not much afraid of any harm coming to
him. He disclaimed the idea of their
poverty, and described the winoa sort of safe
en wheels, in which,whilst President of the
Ot.nfederacy, Mr. Davis sent, from time to
time, gold and silver coin to Cuba and else
where. Hey added that Mrs. Davis was
obliged to economise until she could get her
husband .away out of the country, where
they would net want. I give the story for
what it is worth; the narrator evidently be
/lewd it. •
About 4 P. M. we reached Charleston and
drove to the Mills House, where we dined
from a bill of fare of "New York beef,"
"New York mutton," "New York veal,"
"Bucks county, Pa. chickens;" the only
native dish seeming to be "bacon," which
here means every form of flesh of swine.
Before the war I had many warm friends
in Charleston. I questioned within myself
whether, coming as one of the conquerors a
necessary witness to their humiliation, I
would be welcomed. I ventured however
to send my card to one whose gocid opinion
I had valued much in past days. Within
the hour he called and not only was his
greeting hearty and without embarrassment,
but every day of my stay in Charleston was
rendered more agreeable by his kind atten
tions. By this means I conversed with
some of the leading Charleston gentlemen,
end listened to expressions of opinion given
more frankly perhaps than beforethe "Com
mittee of Fifteen."
I thought I had groWn accustomed though
not hardened, to stories of ruined families
On the islands I bad been among the de
serted homes; here I heard the tales from the
fugitives themselves and found my hear
still alive to pity. It is impossible for those
living in comfortable Northern hoines to
conceive of what the war has been to these
people—to imagine an entire community
Impoverished. My friend's story is one of
many similar, related to mein Charleston.
At the breaking out of the rebellion he was
the owner of three plantations and five hun
dred negroes. After our pousession of the
Sea Islands,s finding that his two sea side
plantations would be exposed topillage
from both armies, he himself put, the torch
to his cotton bales and barns filled with rice
and looked on whilst $200,000 worth of his
worldly possessions perished.
He then sent his slaves to the interior to
live noon his third plantation, where, until
Sherman and the emancipation proclama
tion passed that way, they remained, raising
barely enough corn to keep themselves.
lily friend filled the post of chief engineer
of the defences of Charleston, and after it.
evacuation, fought under General Johnston
until his surrender.
About the time of the surrender there
was seized by the rebel army a wagon-load
of Confederate silver, which was following
In the wake of the flying President. Gen.
Johnston ordered it to be divided amongst
Lis unpaid soldiers,' officers and privates,
shire and share alike. The result was one
dollar and fifteen cents in every man's
pocket. With his cotton destroyed, his
slaves freed, and his Confederate money
valueless, my friend began the world again
on one dollar and fifteen cents., In order to
tarry his family from their place of refuge
In the high country, he was obliged to sell
acching, bed and blankets. Arrived at
Charleston, be presented himself at the d.oor
of his honse—a handsome house on the
Battery. A dozen black heads, great and
small, thrust from every window greeted
him. Fifteen negro families were inposses
!
The Bureau returned the house, but ima
gine in what condition ! With the aid of
Northern capital my friend'is now working
one of his cotton plantations. ,Ffe contracted
with most , of his old servants for fifteen
dollars a month, rations of pork, grits and
molasses, and the privilege of a school,

emir, OW del:nand tieing greater than the
ripply, labor commands the market. In
• :, perhaps, lies a hopeful solution of the
most difficult social problem now being
Worked out at the South.'
In an interesting cnoiersation with a
Charleston gentleman, on the future pros
perity of the country, be remarked : "The
South can never be developed with free
labor. Before tbe war there were tot ne
groes enough to grow all the cotton. Whole
tracts of country lay fallow for want ofsuffi
olent labor; and now that the - tender mer
cies of the Yankees have blotted out oat one
half of the negro race from off the face of the
earth, the only hope for the South lies in the
East."
"Why the East?" I asked.
"We can never develop this country till
we import Coolies. That is what we will
• = driven to do, and we will dolt"
"What? bring in another alien race to
render tbe experiment of a great republic
still More difficuli? Do you think the North
will permit it?"
"You cannot keep ns always out of Con
gress.'. Then God grant we may I was my
silent aspiration. Again, after some dis
cussion of our battles, the-valor shown on
both aides, I asked, "Have you not in your
heart one speck 9f national pride, no love
for tbe great American nation?"
"None," he replied, - "and .I think I rert
resent the feeling of the majority . in South
Carolina when I say, much as we hate Eng
land for her mean betrayal of: ne, welted
rather be'her colony,• or that of any power
in Europe, not excepting Turkey, than be.
under Yankee rule."
"Would not a foreign war heal the
breach?" - •
' "No; the hour of your war would be our
'opportunity. But we are utterly itiined;
this generation can never appeal to the sword
The mortification felt here at their ex
clusion from Congress is so great that it is
aluinstirnpossible for them to converse on
the subject without showing temper. A
.Northern resident tells- me that he over
heerd, a day or two since, these words fall
from a recently appointed Judge: "Wait
till we can put the Democrats into power,
and then to li--1 with the Republicans, their
dogmas and their currency!"
To two intelligent gentlemen' here I put
the same - question. •'You assert that the
principle underlying your revolution was
State rights as against a strong national go
vernment According to your' theory the
Conkaleracy was a mere league of States;
each retaining the power to withdraw at
will. And yet the Richmond Government
became the most oppressive of tyrannies."
To this each gave an unqualified assent.
In case then you had succeeded in oonquer
leg a peace with the North, how could you
have carried out your principle? Would
your central government have been willing
to have laid down its power? In each ease
the answer was the same. "In One year
the Confederacy would have gone to pieces."
Those aho desire most strongly the pun
iehment of Jefferson Davis might be satis
fied to trust him to a South `Carolina jury.
He is heartily despised here as a narrow
minded, Obstinate man, who was the main
cause of the failure of the South. South
Carolina did not play the conspicuous part
in the Confederacy she desired, and, was
almost as discontented as when a member
of the United States. Insane as' she was.
with vanity, who will not . say,looking upon
the mite of Charleston, that her lesson has
not been a very bitter one. -
An American need not go to Rome now
to gee ruins . Casting my eyes from any
modem of the Mills House I see ruin upon
tuin, whole miles of toppling walls,
churches and public ;halls, roofless and
blackened, rows of columns with shattered
capitals, great shapeless piles of stones and
mortar, The ruin of the great Catholic
.Cathedral by moonlight is well worth a
visit. Little or nothing is yet done towards
rebuilding it or any hing else. The trade of
Charleston is carried on almost exclusively
by Northern men.
About eight hundred have taken up their
residence here since the war, and yet they
have done scarcely anything towards
creating Northern sentiment. With the
usual baseness of the spirit of trade, where
interest rather than principle gives the law,
most of these peoPle cater to Southern • feel
ing. Take the following as tan instance
A - Hook and Ladder Company was formed
and supported here by the Northern store
keepers. A short time since it was proposed
to have a firemen's - parade. The evening
before the day appointed, a committee from
the old fire companies waited upon the thaw
to say that they objected to the use of the
American flag in any part of the procession,
whereupon these Northern patriots dis
carded the national colors and marched un
der the Palmetto and the rattlesnake.
As a means of rendering themselves ac
ceptable to their customers, they do not
hesitate to malign and persecute the northern
teachers. Evil stories attacking the honeaty
and virtue of these .worthy women have
been traced to such sources. The social
exclusion of the teachers is very rigid. It
would be impossible to find comfortable
homes for them among the people. They
are made independent however by the ex
istence of teachers' homes, where all the
ladies engaged in one school mess together.
We visited the "New England Home"
which was a comfortable, cheery place, atAd
whilst there heard the account given of
how three of their number had taken a pew
in a fashionable Episcopal Church. After
occupying it two Sundays they were Jae
'formed-that their presence was not agree
able to the congregation, and therefore the
vestry had concluded to withdraw their
seats, and request them to worship God in
some caber temple.
After having seen the prodperous and ad
mirably conducted schools here, this bitter
resentment was no longer a .matter
of wonder. Nearly three thousand colored
children are taught here daily, whilst but
few of tEe whites receive any edttcatioa at
a'l. And as though this were not enough;
the, very buildings erected by the State for
the use of the master race, are now in pos
, session of freedmen and* Yankee'school
mietresees. Is there no humiliation to the,
boasted Carolinian in this? Daring.. the
war South Carolina was not able to keep
open her Public schools, and even at the
last rneetihg of the Legislature she voted
herself still too'poor to teach her children,
so that the Bureau feelijustified in retaining
possession of the public school buildings
until such time as the. Stateelesires to re
sume the use of them, when they will be
turned over io the proper authorities. In
the mean time the-Morris street school has
under instruction one thousand 'colored
pupils. Mr. Sumner, a' nephew of Mr:
Charles Sumner, of the 11. S. Senate, is
principal, assisted by fourteen New Eng
land women. The building is five stories a
high. On each floor is•a large central hall, I
fitted out with beautifal appointments. The
M
desks reminded eof those m the hall o f
.Representativea at Washington. From
each side of the central • hall are
smaller class-rooms with glass commu
nicating doors; so that' he presiding teacher
has all the (armee of tier department ander
her eye; Surely, the Yankee woman` is a
God-made teacher; there , is a syetem, a
thoroughness, a sort of steel-trap spring
about tacit' mode of instruction , which is ir
resistible. Every child here seemed strung
up to its'highest tensionahrough 'mere force
of sympathy. It is superfluous to say that
the Morris stree* school is well taught. It •
is simply woride. - 1.11; Mrs. ff., one of the.
teachers here, relati3d to me an incident I
cannot refrain from adding to my alreatly
• too long letter. Shortly after theorganizatioa
of the school, ' whilst in the Midst of the
opening exercisee,idt'Suithier entered and
told the sad news of Mr. 'Lincoln's -assas
sination. Mrs. H. immediately announced
it to to' theechota, when; to her surpriee,the
hundreds of children before 'her broke out
into weeping and crying'aloud: - Their,gritif
kivaii so 'genuine andammanagetible that she
was obliged to dismiss school for the day,

the capture of` - Jefferson Davis was told
thenr. My informant said: "Hardly had
the words passed nry lips, when the whole
school room was darkened with caps
and bonnets thrown into the air, a wild
hurrah succeeded and by a sudden inspira
tion they burst out singing—" We'll hang
Jeff. Davis on a sour apple tree."
These children had been sinder Northern
instruction only two months.
I have not yet done with my Charleston
experiences, and if I have not. proved too
wearisome, will write still another letter: B.
A SHAMEFUL ACT- OF VANDALISM.—We
were astonished to learn this morning, at
the Continental Hotel, that a most dia.
graceful act of wantonness and vandalism
had been perpetrated'on Wednesday, at an
early hour in the morning, It appears that
a i gentleman residing, at the hotel, not
having room for them in his apartments,
placed three exquisite oil paintings
in the 'west parlor of the hotel.
The works were by distinguished
fdreign artists, and were greatly admired by
all who enjoyed the pleasure of seeing them.
At the time we have specified some mali
cious individual deliberately cut two of the
.pictures with a sharp knife, in such a way
as ..to mutilate them shamefully, and in all
probability the third painting would have
shared the same fate had, not the perpe
trator been disturbed in his meanly con
temptible work. As the owner of the pictures
has been a resident of thehotel ever since its
opening, and is widely : known as a
, lover and supporter of all public enterprises,
especially when they are connected with the
ltheral arts or the ..welfare of the city, the
outrage seems more brritil. The motive of
• the perpetrator , cannot be even conjectured,.
hutrit must have bad :its origin in a mein
recess of ,a poor and barren nature. The
proprietor of the hotel owes it to himself and
to his guests to useevery means to ferret out
and. punish whoever committed. this dis
graceful act.

WASHINGTON r JatIe , 27.—The President
has approved the bills to provide for the
revision and consolidation of the statuti33,o
making further provisions for the establish
mont of an armory and arsenal of construc
tion, deposit and 'repairs on Rock Island,
and to establish a land office in the territory
of Idaho.-
' The' Navy Department to-day received
- despatches from Acting Rear Admiral. Bell,
commanding the East. India Squadron,
dated Hong Kong, April 28th, in which he
s he Wyoming had visited Ningpo and
Shanghai, and was at the latter plaoe on the
18th of that month. On the 3d of April the
Admiral proceeded with his ship and the
Relief and the - Wachtuiett, np theaCanton
river, and havingnchored the two former
vessels at Whampor.„ 'he latter was directed
to anchor off the city ch., 4 "Nuiton, which has
been known 'hitherto as L.' - Most truculent
city of all China; and on the be went up
to th at city, and having hoisted, , ' 'q flag on
board of the Wachusett, requested an in
terview with the Governor-General of the
two quarantine provinces in order to satisfy
his own eves that the United States
have re-established their naval squadron on
that coast, though in peace and good-will,
as be said, towards the Chinese who had
nonc.ra toy maintained their neutrality
during the late rebellion in our country.
His Excellency - manifested the beet dis
position toward our country and country
men, and returned the Admiral's visit on
board - the Wachnseft, although it rained
heavily, all the time, seeming much in
terested in her armament. He was gratified
to observe that the people of Canton,
and the
high officials also have materially changed
their arrogant demeanor towards foreigners
since he aaw them last in 1858, to a .respect
ful and even friendly deportment,
• The Admiral says he returned in the Hart
ford on the 12th of April toHong Kong, and
there received intelligence of a rapture be=
tween the United States Consul at Nieuch
wong, situate in the Northent part of the
Gulf of Pichili, and the dnhabitanta thereof.
He recalled the Wachnsett from. Chuttor,
and despatched here on the 18th. under
Commander Townsend, with instruction
to proceed to that port and inquire into the
facts of the case, and to give , the necessary
protection. On his 'way thither he was to
touch at Shanghai, and to confer with the
United States Consul-General, Mr. Seward,
nd extend to him such facilities as were
~n v. e nient to Commander Townsend. Re
, g, he will touch at all the open ports.
he _Relief, from%Whampoa, anehored at
Hong Kong, on the 28th of April. The
crews of the several vessels of the squadron
are in good health.
Despatches have also been received from
Acting Rear Admiral Godon, commanding
the squadron on the coast of Brazil. They
are dated May 18. The Kansas, he says,
has returned from a successful visit to the
Falkland Islands, and will leave in a few
days for Buenos Ayres. The Juniata is
now there, but will be shortly sent
io Rio to take the place of the Shamokin,
whose repairs being completed, she will be
ordered there. The Nipsio has also just ar
rived after S cruise of some two months
going as far as Bahia. The Shawmut will
sail in two days for St. Catharine's to attend
to some small matters connected
with deserters from our merchant
vessels who are induced to enter the Brazil
ian service by offers of high bounty. The
Dacotah left for the Pacific early in May.
The Admiral says, "We passed, goisig up
and down the lliuguay river, at anchor
near the small towns and ealaderos along
its bank, not less than seventy or eighty
vessels English, French, Dutch and Ital
ian, but not one American. In
fact few Americans are to be met with
anywhere on the river. Our four- years of
war will account for this. I hope the enter
prising spirit of onr people will soon change
this state of things, as the trademnst be very
profitable, and no doubt a large part of the
produce from the river reaches our ports in
foreign bottoms." '
Despatches announcing the arrival at
Queenstown of the Monitor Miantonomiah,
with the vessels accompanying, have been
received at the Navy Deptirtment. The
passage was made in eleven days and ten
hours. The' average run per illy was one
hhndred and sixty-eight miles. The pro
gress was very uniform.
The heavy weather did not appear to af
fect the Monitor either in speed or rolling,
for while the other vessels were lurching
about and their progress checked by heavy
sins.:elie went along comparatively undis
turbed or thicheeked.
