Tile Livery or Rebellion.
It is stated that, in Georgia, the order
prohibiting the wearing of the rebel uni
form is strictly enforced," as it ought
to be. In Richmond, and many other
places, that uniform—the degraded livery
of treason and perjury—is still flaunted
before the eyes of loyal men, within view
of the United States authorities, and un
der the very rustle of the glorious Union
gag. In Philadelphia, within the last ten
days, we saw a tall, well-built, saucy
looking rebel officer—attired in gray
uniform, with a feather in his hat, and
a stripe of gold lace running down the
sides of his pantaloons—swaggering down
Chestnut street as if he owned all the
houses, and conferred special honor on
Northern "mudeilla" by condescending to
walk among them—a bold and impudent
varlet, who only wanted sword and pistols
to complete his equipment. His uniform
was so new and fresh, with the gloss upon
it, that it apparently had just issued from
the tailor's shop. Many persons turned
round to look at the swaggering rebel, seve
ral watching him stride by, with no friendly
eyes. However, no one interfered—not
even the police—and he passed on his way.

events, it may be assumed that a sense of
propriety would prevent keepers of hotels,
boarding-houses and lodgings, especially
in Northern cities, from receiving Rruthar

order prohibiting the wearing of that garb,
ought to be enforced in all place&
It may be argued, most of the wearers of
the rebel livery have no other outer appa
rel, and are without means to purchase the
ordinary attire of loyal civilian& That
may be, but where is the warranty, even in
that well-merited destitution, for the ali
o era continuing to wear shoulder-straps
and gold lace—the chief insignia of their
late rank in the hordes of rebellion—and
to sport the military cap or hat, equally
ornamented? Above all, why should they
be allowed to:wear the rebel buttons ? All
the insignia of rank should be removed,
and the buttons with them. If the wear.
ors, who still regard us as contemptible
beings, and very ordinary " Yanks,"
should not fancy their coats thus denuded
of all, except the color, that marks the
rebel, there can be no possible objection to
their turning them inside out, and wearing
them so. Perhaps, like Bryan O'Lynn, in
the old song, they would declare them to be
both "pleasant and cool." As, to use a
familiar phrase they " turned their coats"
to abjure loyalty and engage in rebellion,
it will probably be conceded that "one
good (?) turn deserves another." At all
events, if they still desire to show by their
dress that they lately bore arms against
the Union, the mode of wearing their
coat which we suggest would effectually
effect that purpose. The pie -bald appear
ance of gray coats and various-colored
sleeve-linings would decidedly.improve the
livery of rebellion.
Fire and Fireworks.
The conflagration on Delaware avenue,
on Tuesday afternoon, terrible as it was,
happily was unaccompanied by loss of
human. life. We should thank God, too,
that it was not more destructive of property.
But it gives rise to serious reflections, two
of which we shall take leave to place before
our readers.
In the very midst of the most crowded
business quarter of Philadelphia stood a
warehouse, in which, it appears, large quan
tities of fireworks were stored, and from
which dipot the retail trade of Pennsyl
vania is generally supplied—particularly on
such public occasions as the Fourth of July
and the Twenty-second of February, the
birthdays of National Independence and of
the immortal WAsnitTOTolr, who so largely
aided in maturing it. On these days, imi
tating the foolish custom of children and
the Chinese, (who are not quite the wisest,
if they are the most ancient, people upon
earth,) America, young and old, indulges
in a vast expenditure for "fireworks ;" and
it is necessary, therefore, for the wholesale
dealers to have a large stock on hand, at and
immediately before the recurrence of one of
these national anniversary holidays. Their
manufacture chiefly takes place, we under.
stand, in remote parts of the city—ever
since the blowing-up, a few years ago, of a
firework factory in one of our, populous
districts. Messrs. J. B. Busman. & Co.,
whose places of business were Nos. 108
and 110 Delaware avenue, dealt largely in
- foreign and domestic fruits, in all sorts of
canned preserves- fish, flesh, fruit, and
garden vegetables— which were chiefly
stored in No. 108. In the next house they
had ample stores of rockets, squibs, Gotha.
rine wheels, serpents, Roman candles,
Bengola lights, triangles,pin-wheels,flower
pots, mines, grasshoppers, snakes, Union
candles, Chinese crackers, double-headers,
and so forth. One account tells us that, in
- view of the great demand for next Tuesday
(Independence Day,) there were 17,000
boxes of firecrackers in the house on Mon
day, besides other fireworks. In ordinary
times, they are stored up stairs, but, on
this occasion, had been largely brought
down to the front store, for convenience of
show, sale, and package. Mr. BOsSrER,
writing at his desk, near which was a pile
of Roman candles, heard a hissing and
fizzing noise, instantly turned round, saw a
blaze breaking out, and with much presence
of mind, seized a hose, which was always
ready for use on any such emergency, at
tached it to a fire-plug in front of his pre
mises, and found—that it failed to draw
iaater. At that first moment, a bucketful
of water would probably have extinguished
the then-commencing flame. The plug—
in this case, literally " a plug-ugly"—had
been out of order for some time. Its inope
rative condition had been reported, it is
alleged, five times within the hot two
weeks to the Water Department, and had
not been " fixed :" yet, had it been re
paired, it is probable that the whole confla
gration might have been prevented.
These, as far as we know, are the two
leading points in this case. The destruc
tion ofpropertv.Arny w
Il eie lost ; but the
estimated pecuniary loss exceeds $lOO,OOO.
It is believed that one or two customers,
(disobeying or ignorant of the positive
order at Mr. BIISSIED,'S that, on no ac
count, should tobacco be smoked on the
premises,) visited the store, cigar in mouth,
and that a spark therefrom, accidentally
falling, ignited some loose powder on the
floor, whence the trail of fire crept on, si
lently but fatally, until it reached the pile
Of Roman candles, and, from that moment,
ruin rapidly proceeded.
Two strong conclusions may be derived
from this event ; first, that the Water -De
partment ought to have immediately com
plied with Mr. Busensn's requisition to
have the plug repaired, so as to make IL
operative on a sudden emergeney—eogr
plied with it, as quickly as a notice to the
gasoffice of an escape of gaB iS always at
tended to—and next, that the storage of
fireworks within the inhabited parts of the
city ought to be prohibited and severely
punished, if the prohibition were disobeyed
or evaded. FireworksOan he sold by sam
ple just as readily as tea, coffee, sugar
flour, or any other article. There is no
necessity for selling them, in bulk, out of
a vast storage in the business part of the
city.
The event, terrible as it is, carries with it
a strong and practical argument against
the use of fireworks at all. Surely we can
show our nationality, our loyalty, and,
above all, our common sense, by other
means than letting off fireworko and allow
ing rough rowdies and thoughtless boys to
endanger property and life, on great public
holidays and celebrations, by intermittingly
firing off pistols. It is childish work, at
the best, and no other civilized community
indulges in or sanctions the practice.
We cannot conclude without expressing
admiration of, as well as gratitude to, that
admirable body of men—the very back
bone, as it were, of our physical force—the
firemen of Philadelphia. The fire, fed by
such inflammable materials as assisted it in
Delaware avenue, did not at all extend as
far as might have been anticipated. Two
or three neighboring stores and their con
tents were more or lees injured, and the
fire, rushing westward, did some damage
in Water street. The firemen, aided by
the police, did wonders, not only in check
ing the conflagration, but in "rescuing valu
able papers from destruction. One instance
is particularly recorded-that of Mr.
Menem) Kama, of the Good Intent Hose
Company, who, having heard or seen that
a fire-proof safe, left open by Mr. BIISSIBR,
contained important documents belonging
to the firm, rushed in and secured them,
being himself saved from a fiery destruc
tion by his engine-friends outside playing
the water upon him, whereby, his apparel
and his person were saved. Sundry mem
bers of Franklin Engine Company also
behaved with even more than the gallantry
which Characterizes the Philadelphia fire
men. But for this most useful force, the
whole block, from Walnut and Chestnut
street on one side, and between Delaware
avenue and Water street on the other,
might now have been a mighty mass of
burning ruins. Very often, the silk-stock
ing classes affect to sneer at our brave fire
men as " roughs,"—but, if they are some
times roug76, they are alwaYs ready. The
,utty - nue every cause to be proud of this
noble, honest, unpaid, volunteer corps.
A. CORRESPONDENT of the 7sTow . York
Herald, writing from Columbia, South Ca-
r,slina, gives the following deplorable pic
ture of the deStrUctiveness of the Southern
system of agriculture and the absolute
ruin which followed in the train of slave
labor :
6 , The Southern plauterS generally say that with
the exception of the loss in property in negroes, and
the unsettled state of affairs Mak% the freeing ofso
large a body will naturally produce, they will be
better off with free labor than slave. They contend
that the only source of profit in the State from slavery
consisted in the increase, and that it wo take away
the right of property In them, they will then have
many more in the State than they clan possibly use
to advantage,
" The soft of South Carolina Is proverbially the
poorest in the South. No effort has been made to
recuperate, but after it has become exhausted by the
continuous raising of cotton, it has been allounid to go
to waste and new ground cleared up. It bee been the
policy of the planter to clear as much land as pos
sible, raise all the cotton and negroes he could in a
few years, and, after the soil became exhausted, he
would be rich enough to emigrate to Louisiana or
some other Western State, and buy a now and
larger plantation."
This is but a fair parallel to the workings
of the institution in Virginia and South
Carolina. It yielded no profit except that
wrung from a debasing and horrid traffic,
and even this vile revenue could only be
secured by the impoverishment of the soil,
and by blasting acre after acre, plantation
after plantation, State after State, and Ter
ritory after Territory, of our magnificent
national domain. In lees than a century it
would if continued, have exhausted all the
Southern States, and thus compelled the
masters to free their slaves from sheer
inability to support them, or to seek in
Central and South America new virgin
lands to sustain for a time their wicked and
wasteful system. What a contrast do
such confessions as we have quoted present
to the invigorating results of Northern
agriculture, which, year after year, reclaims
waste places, increases its products, and
constantly strives with marked success to
make two blades of grass grow where
formerly but one could be produced !
THE PRESIDENT'S TALK WITH THE
SOUTH CAROLINIANS.
What the Journals Think of it.
We continue, tills morning, to quote the Opinion
of some of the leading journals on the recent con
venation between President Johnson and the South
Carolinians. The Baltimore American says :
"The opposition papers need not attempt to be
guile themselves with such flattering unction as
that the Republican party is 'split,' nor need
they strive to deceive the people with their false
hoods. They know that while the President is act
ing in accordance with his co:Moth= of duty, and
while he is anxious not to exceed his constitutional
limitations, he has exhibited the most unoompro-
Mtsing licatnity to anything that would rekindle
the expiring embers of Slavery. HIS very disuses
inundations upon this Subject to the South Carolins
delegation, leave no room to doubt his entire ac
cord with the earnest men of the Union party in the
disposal of the vexeduestions growing out of its
lingering existence . I t is well known, too, that
while the President has deemed It a necessity of
his position to refrain from any direct intorferenoe
in the modification or enlargement of those State
laws which regulate the qualifications of voters, he
is quite as anxious as ant man to avoid the difficua
ties, and perhaps the conflicts that may arise if
color is meetly and absurdly made a ground of die.
qualification for the franchise. In all parties there
will be inharmonious and disorganizing elements,
but the number of men of prominence who are
striving to baffle the President in the policy he has
adopted is exceedingly small. While there are
many who differ essentially from hia views, they are
not so dogmatic as to concede that reorganizatnn
under existing • circumstances is purely tentative.
They admit that the experiment is entitled to a fair
trial, cud they are willing that the trial shall be
made without disturbance Or intermednimg, They
even oppose the extra Maslen of ()engross which has
been demanded in certain quarters, in order that no
dictation from that source may arrest the process of
restoration which the President has inaugurated."
The Washington Chronicle says: "President
Jargon's conversation with the South Carolinians
seems to have captured the country. Its good sense
and straight-out frankness have done the work of a
dozen polished harangliell. On the theory of with
holding nothing from the people which can be safe
ly to them, the President's example will
be very acceptable. Bat we attach a higher value
to it. The subjects to Willa he addresses himself
are inch as teat the strongest heada. Severe in
themselves, they are not to be Clarified by brilliant
logicians or inexperienced essayists. They demand
strung remedies and perfectly fair dealing. As
to the rights of Americans of African den
scent, we take it President Johnson is bet
ter able to secure them in the possession
of these than if he were to fall in With plans
that are at beat experimental. It is to us a
stupendous delusion to expect Congress and the
Executive to do that for the uneducated freedmen of
the South Which the independent States of the
North hare failed or refuted to do for the better
trained and more experienced free colored men in
their section. The President Is actuated by a most
catholic philanthropy. He pleads for the poor
whiles as well as for the poor bisag. Ho Wald not
see both of these classes damaged by a conflict for
a doubtful advantage to one of them—an advantage
which, even secured, would surely breed other dig
tensions and vexations. President .Tohnson's
sug
goltiODd have the weight of experience, and may be
safely entrusted to that unfailing alembic, Time,
which Barely separates the gold from the dross, an d
removes many impediments that now look like
frowning mountains in oar pathway."
The Boston Courier, a leading opposition paper of
New England, says:
"It is evident that, under President Johnson, the
people of the South meaning in good faith to be.
come loyal citizens have the direction of their
future in their own hands.
"No Conquered party in any conflict of arms was
ever so liberally treated as the majority of the
Northern people ate now disposed to treat the
lately rebellious party In the South. The complete
and immediate restoration of all their local rights,
save that to hold slaves, awaits them, and If they
accept the boon (which, If also a right, is hardly a
desert) in a becoming spirit, their liberties and the
pacification of the country wilt be quickly eon
soildated.
"Some oOncessionS must be made by the Southern
people to Northern sentiment. It is naturally
feared by a large pertion of our people, that the
white men of the booth will place themselves in
hostile or ungenerous relations to their former
olaveo- There are great temptations to this, but
they ought to be avoided, not only as leading to
great dangers, but also bowline they are wrong and
impolitic as regards their own immediate Interests."
The New York Times, in a long article on the Mb•
ject, says
"It is sheer quackery to make negro suffrage the
Sovereign panacea of Southern ills.

Johnson clearly pointed out to the South entrants
delegates on Saturday, has been Its class rale. A

power has practically shut out all the republican
influences which have so mightily elevated an other
parts of the country. The great problem now is how
to break up that power I • • • • •
It has been said by some discerning Union men
of the South that there could be no surer way of
perpetuating the old-class rule of the South titan
the bestowing the suffrage upon the plantation la
borers—that it would practically give theplanter,
who has now but a single vote, ten, or fifty, or a
hundred votes. Whether this would prove to be the
case, we cannot yet say. The relations between the
recce since cmanoipation have net yet taken defi
nite shape enough to justify alettled conclusion.
But we do say that no one has any right to assu me
that the negroes, having the suffrage, would vote to
suit Northern man a thousand miles away, whom
they, never saw, and against the wishes and pur
poses of their employers. All the antecedent pro
babilities are against it. The assumption has no.
thing but vague speculation and empty hope to rest
upon. To depend, under present developinenticurra
negro suffrage as the great means of reorganizing
the South, is sheer empiricism.
"We are sure that immigration is a far more ra.

than any semen and compulsory admission of the

probably would, only aggravate the very evils that

flow of elnigfatiOn to the South, and to realize its
results. But considering the immense interests at

can afford to take &little time. Ten years 19 bat an

will be affected, for good or evil, by our method of

Perhaps no one but a commander-In- chief can right.

as this has been, to say nothing of the abnegation of

great pleasure and satisfaction of the excellent ser
vice which this gentleman has rendered, and the
never-falling energy and ability with which he has
discharged his many onerous duties.
The Fleet Engineer Danny has been for the last
two years in charge of the Mechanical Steam De

FLAG-STEAMER PHILADELPHIA,
CHARLESTON Newton, S. 0., Jane 1;,1865.
ORDER No. 65—TRIED YEARLY SaltlßS.—The 1 e•
bellion has been crushed, and the vast military and
naval forces of the Union will now be made to con
form to the peaceful condition of the country.
The number of this squadron, which has amount
ed even to as many as ninety vessels, has been al
ready much reduced, and the reduction will eon-
MM until but a few vessels remain.
The Navy Department has, therefore, been pleased
to relieve me from the command.
In taking leave I avail myself of the opportunity
to *sprees to the officer?, seamen, and marines who
have served in the squadron, my earnest apprecia.
Lion of the good service they have rendered.
During two years of arduous command of a squad
ron, blockading nearly three hundred miles of coast,
Including twentpone ports, and performing every
variety of service, the personnel of the squadron,
regular and volunteer, has most credltaely
Charged Ice duty.
It is impractisable. In the limits of a general
order, to do more than to point,prlelly to some of the
principal events that have transpired during the
two years of command.
The prominent purpeSe in view when I assumed
charge in July, 1863, was to attack the defences of
Charleston by a combined operation of the land and
naval forces.
The effort had been previously made by each of
the Services singly, and though gallantly main
tained, had not succeeded ; it was hoped that by a
United effort something more might be effected.
And the result justified the expectation BO long as
the effort was united; but when the commanding
general of the department did not deem It desirable
to go further, It followed, as a consequence, that the
naval force was not of Itself sufficient for the task.
Nor was even a trial possible that did not involve
full committal to a sung glewhich, If unsuccessful,
could not fail to be disastrous. This view was ens
talned by a council of war.
During all these operations the °Moors and men
of the Iron-clads, gunboats, and mortar•boats bora
their part, and contributed equally with the army
to the capture of Morris laland, though it Is now
asserted, In s published account of this transaction,
that the approaches by land could have been pushed
forward without the co-operating lire of the gun
boats.
When I began to perceive that the enemy was not
likely to be driven out of Sculptor except by as
sault, and saw that the force which I had could not
of itself go further unless he was driven out, I or
dered the assault. It failed, but never was more
gallantry displayed in the attempt.
The necessity for occupying this post was fully
justified by subsequent events.
During all this tune the vessels of the squadron
were active in maintaining the biookade, and in
furnishing men for boat duty, or for the service of
some of the shore batteries, and when the active
operations against the interior defences were con.
chided, for the reasons already given, the picket
duty and inner blockade devolved on the monitors,
tug-boats, and launches.
Never was any Service performed involving a
more resolute struggle against the cold and derma
of winter, the heavy sea, and the =looping enter
prise of a vigilant enemy.
The gallant men who lie beneath the bine water
enshrined in the iron sepulchres of the " Weehaw
ken " and " Patapaco,” and still further to seaward
in the "lionsatonle," are the witnesses of what you
suffered and achieved in the common cause ; white
the desolate wrecks that strew the shores and Choke
the channels of Sullivan's island make manifest
that your labors were not in vain.
. . .
The hieekade was perfectly close until a few very
fast steamers or trifling draft were built in England
esprectly for the purpose of evading it. But even
they could not pass with entire impunity, for the
ecout•boats and yleket-boats cruised close to the
enemy's batteries, and seldom failed to open tire On
the Intruding steamers, frequently driving them
back or forcing them on shore. In one Instance
they boarded the " Florio " as 80011 as she touched
the reef, before there was time to back Off, and cap.
tared nearly the entire Crew. -
,fu other stations or the command the duty of
blockade was carried on ciulte as 01100tUaliy, but
diversified by many little expeditions which ope
rated severely on the military resources of the
enemy.
Stono was the scene of some smart actions. On
Christmas day . of 1863, the enemy assailed our ves
sels in position there, and were handsomely re
pulsed.
In February, 1864. the squadron furnished a strong
detachment to assist in tne expedition Up the St.
Johns.
In July, 1664, In Connection with Gen. Foster, a
detachment of the squadron advanced On the rebel
batteries and lines in the Stone, and produced no
small alarm,- as Charleston seemed to be In peril.
loosed, a well-conceived blow at Fort Johnson by
Gen. Schimmelpiennig had nearly succeeded.
Late in 1564 Gen. Sherman began that Campaign
which would of itself place him among the foremost
military commanders of history ; and to facilitate
his communication with the cmin, a joint move
ment was made up Broad river by Gen. Foster
and a detachment oi steamers from the squadron
menacing the enemy's own counnanioations near
tiooSawatohle.
The Ist Brigade was organized ROM the officers,
seamen, and marines of the squadron, and did good
Service, participating in ail the igitiOnS, which were
often severe.
At Boyd's creek and on the TulManley, the artil
lery and infantry of the brigade vied with the vo•
teran troops, and drew the frank and appreciative
recognition of the General.
At Boyd's creek the sailors and marines were
ashore first, and deployed as skirmishers,
At Tullifinney the howitzers were rushed up to as
sist the advance, then heavily engaged with the
enemy, and, by a few decisive rounds, threw them
tack.
When General Sherman resumed his line of
March from Savannah, to strike the blow that
prostrated the rebellion, Some of the gunboats as
sisted in transferring his right wing to Beaufort,
and subsequently the principal forces of the squad
ron were brought into play with the troops of the de
partment, and shared in the attacks made at Steno
and Bull's bay, In order to menace Charleston, and
rendered enellent service.
In an anon to remove the obstruetiolla at Mules
ton so as to Co operate directly with General Sher
man, then likely to incline towards the City, the
"Patapsco" was struck by a torpedo and funk In
stantly—while the " Pal Ching," in endeavoring to
assist the right, under General Howard, grounded
In the Oombaheo under a heavy battery, and after
a gallant resistance of several hours, which reduced
her nearly to a wreak, was fired by her commander.
The blow at the defences of Georgetown was
struck by the navy alone, and they ware abandoned
by the enemy on seeing the steamers arming the
bar With detachments of sailors and meriaes.
It was here, too, my fiaglattp Was struck by a
torpedo and destroyed.
In all these operations, and in others which. I
cannot here enumerate, the personnel of this squad
ron has manifested all that could be asked of the
navy ; and if brilliant victory was not possible, the
general results were not less useful, directly to tne
great end.
To mention names would be to give nearly the
muster roll of the squadron, and yet there are some
whose memories we will always cherish, because
that is all which their unselfish gallantry has left
us—Rogers, Preston, Porter.

A STRANGE CALAMITY.
Au Illinois Regiment Struck by Light
ning—One Mon killed and Thirty-two
Wounded.
A. surgeon of the 162 d Illinois Regiment gives an
account of a singular calamity which marred to
his regiment on the 18th instant. The regiment
was stationed at Tullahoma ! Tennessee. He says:
About two &Sleek P.M.,on the lath, a violent
thuncerotorm visited us. hue the old guard watt
being turned out to receive the new guard, a blind.
leg dash of lightning was seen, accompanied in
stantly by a terrific peal of thunder. The whole of
the old guard, together with part of the new guard,
were thrown violently to the earth. The shook was
so severe and sudden that in most oases the rear
rank men were thrown across the front-rank men.
One man, Jeremiah Cooley, of Captain Hunter's
Company C, was instantly killed, and thirty-two
others were more or less severely burned by the
electric fluid. The men were mostly injured in the
region of the shoulders, arms, and hips. The men
having been Standing at Shouldered-arms, in which
ease the t barrel Of the musket would rest in the
hollow of the right arm and shoulder, the butt of
the piece resting against the hip.' Out man who
was on guard in front or the hospital-tent had his
musket . thrown from his hands, and the bayonet
stuck into the ground. The man himself was
stocked pretty severely, bat not thrown down.
One man who had been to the rear and was return
hog, was struck down and Severely Injured In the
eyes. In some Instances the men's boots and shoes
were torn from their feet and torn to pieces, and,
strange as it may appear, the men were injured but
little In the feet."
A Tolson or NATURII.—A oar lull of passengers
passed over the Western road, in which a simple
but touching scene occurred, worthy of record. One
of the passengers Was a woman, carrying in her
arms a, child, who annoyed every one by his petit.
lance and crying. Bine after mile the passengers
bore the inthotion of Its noise, which rather In.
creased than diminhltied, until, at it became
furious, and the passengers nearly so. There were
open complaints and one man shouted " take the
cold out The train stopped at a station, and an
oid gentleman arose And made the simple statement
that the father of t h e child had died reliantly away
from home ; that the mother had been on a visit to
her friends, and had died while on the visit; that
her dead body W4B 011 board the train, and that the
child was in the hands of a stranger. It was enough.
There was a tear in nearl every eye, and all were
melted into pity and pa tience. All selfishness was
lost In thinking of the desolation of the poor little
wanderer, who would have found is warm welcome
in hands that, a moment beitire, would almost have
visited it with a blow.
THE PRESS:-PMT,ADELPHLE: TITTM,SDAY; JrlllT 29; 1865:
Views of Major General Jr. P. Blair, Jr.
General F. P. Blair was entertained at St. Louis,
on Friday night, with a oomplimentary dinner at
the Lindell Houle, and after the feast wail over
made a long speech. He weeded that slavery was
dead, and that It had been killed by the sword. In
regard to reorganization, he said he believer in
the theory of Andrew Johnson. On this point, he
remarked :
" It Is, I believe, Satisfactorily known to everg.
body that those who maintain a different attitude
on this question, and who sat in the Convention at
Baltimore that nominated Mr. Lincoln, wanted to
vote against hint and would have voted against him
if they had dared to. Mr. Lincoln had announced
himself again and again In different letters in re
gard to the State of Louisiana, and again In regard
to the State of Arkansas, in a letter of instruction
which lie addressed to Gm. Steele, as to the man
ner in which the States should be reorganized, and
allowed to resume the functions of Government.
Well, the people enaOraed these eentiosents because
they liked them ; and Andrew Johnson, tone to the
pledges which he made to the people, and which
were sanctioned by the people by this elation, had
issued his proclamation for the reorganization of
the Government in North Carolina, and in several
other States, In which he assumes the position
maintained by Mr. Lincoln In his last utterances—
said he: 'I don't know that these States have
been abroad. The States have never been out of
the Union, and the man who maintains that they
have beenont of the Union, because there were cer
tain traitors In those States, Is just as much a setter.
sionist as the eeoeseloniets themselves who attempt
ed to carry these States out. [Cheers.]
" Now, what is the difference between that Class
of people i They act from different motives, as a
matter of course, and ought to have the benefit of
their motives—but they maintain the Union was
actually dissolved by the declaration of secession in
the Southern States—they mast maintain it, be•
cause they undertake to lay on the Southern States
conditions which they do not put onother States, and
they say, we have authority and power over these
States that we have not over other States. Now,
every State in the Union as heretofore held, has had
the right to decide and exercise theright of suffrage
as It chose for itself. [Cheers.] Rhode Island Ga
el/ides a large class of Its foreign population, Irish
and German born, no Matter LOW muck property
they may have, or Influence; no matter whether
they have a million la bank or railroad stook, or
- , own— any amount, of real estate ; and in the
State of Rhode Island thee would have to out it
very small [laughter] ; why, a man who does not
own a freehold of the soil amounting to a certain
value, cannot exercise the franc/We in the State of
Rhode Island and Providence Plantations. Who
has ever questioned the 'right of Rhode Island in
this respect I Who has ever questioned the power
of any other State to deelare who snail hay, the
right of suffrage in those &steel: And now these
gentlemen say that these rebellious States where
men have =taped power, and pet down the people,
and the government of the peepte—that they have
subjected themselves to certain conditions—that
they cannot now return to the Union unless
the Congress of the United States pram:rib:is who
shall be the electors in those States. Well, Andrew
Johnson has put hie foot upon that proposition
[cheers], and Andrew Johnson was compelled to
put his foot upon it, if he was an honest man."
General Blair then proceeded la argue that We
OeSiden Was accomplished against the withal of the
majority of the citizens of the different Southern
States, and that when the people were afterward
conscripted and forced into the rebel service, they
were no more responeible for the events that fol.
lowed, than were the Southern slaves, who were
compelled to build rebel fortifications. From this
point of view he argued for a merciful policy, hoping
there would be no executions net demanded by the
public safety, and opposing retaliation. He added :
"No punishment that we could possibly inflict
Could equal the punishment already inflicted upon
them, and justifiable by the great objects which we
had In view of the reuniting of our Government,
and justifiable by no other reason and no other
right ; nor can its prosecution in any other shape or
form be justified, unless the safety of the Govern
ment is imperiled. Any penny, my friends, which
proceeds from mere malice, comes from hell, and is
at the instigation of the devil. [Loud cheers.]
Therefore, I embrace the doctrine which hes been
put forth by the President of the United States in
his several proclamations, and I trust that the
wounds which have been inflicted by this war will
be healed, and that the bond of freedom, which is
ail that we have snatched from this terrible scene of
desolation and &Mutton, will, and I believe it
will, from the bottom of my soul, at no distant day,
repay all the suffering through which we have
gone."
SOUTH CAROLINA.
ITS PRESENT AND PROSPECTIVE CONDITION.
THE WHOLE STATE DISORGA2fIZED.
A correspondent of the New York Herald has been
visiting Columbia, South Carolina, and writes to
that journal an account of what he saw. Writing
under date of June 2181, he says :
The difficulties attending . travel through the South
ern States aro greater in South Carolina than in any
section I have yet visited. The railroads along the
lino of which Shermeaki army marched are com
pletely obliterated. For eighty miles not a vestige
is left, with the exception of the bed of the road and
bent rails. From Marione, N. 0., the road is run
ning to the Catawba river, a distance of about thirty
miles. At this point the railroad bridge, consisting
of nine spans, was burned by Stoneman. Here the
passengers alight and cross the river in a small
boat, the pontoon bridge having been carried away
by a recent freshet. A walk of two miles through
the broiling sup brought us to the railroad &gala,
where a train was in waiting for Ohesterville. To
Chesterville, a distance of about forty miles, both
the road and roiling Stock are In better condition
than any I have seen. The cars are in good order,
and the speed double that of any road in Virginia
or North Carolina.
Ten miles beyond °Waterville and eight miles
from Winusborough the road terminates, leaving
thirty•eight miles to Columbia to travel as best you
can. Our mode of conveyance, and the only one
available, consisted of an old-fashioned rebel army
wagon, drawn by four mules. For this luxury we
were obliged to pay the moderate sum of fifteen
dollars each.
We felt some slight apprehensions do taking so
long a trip through the eOuntrilinproteoted, Bowe
learned we were thelirst " Yankeell who had been
over the road, and rumors of guerilla parties and
roving bands of rebel soldiers were current; bat we
have reached thus Tar without difficulty or admix
ture Of any kind. We have fOrty-Eive Milea further
of staging to Orangeburg before we can again reach
the railroad. From there to Charleston there is no
interruption.
MERMAN'S OLEAN SWEEP IN SMITE OAROLINA.
General Sherman certainly made a clean sweep
at It through this State. Nothing bat ruin and
desolation on every side. Rouses burned, crops de.
strayed, and the whale country literally cleaned oat
of everstnlng in the }thane of horses, mules, wagons,
and stook ix all Ulnae.
The inhabitants or CoWe:Ma, front the higheat to
the lowest, are tc-tlay in the most abject state of
poverty. They have neither provisions nor the
wherewith to obtain them. People who occupy ele
gant mansions, and who, a few weeks since, were
worth their thousands, are now penniless and with
out the means of buying the actual necessaries of
life. Money, there is none, with the exception of a
little put in circulation by the officers and soldiers
of the e
in taming with the citizens I find them generally
ready and willing to Submit to the necessities or the
ease, but Without any abandonment of the prinol
- of State rights for which they have been con
tending. They say, g , We are compelled to abandon
the cause for the present, but we hate yea, and al
ways Shall continue to do 50. ,1 In addition to the
hatred of the Yankees, they now seem to feel the
most bitter hatred towards the negro. The negroes
have all learned that they are free, and, as is usual
ly the case at first, most of them stopped work, both
mid& plantations and in the city, and congregated
in liirge numbers at Columbia. As there are in
South Carolina more than double the number of
negroel than white people, it was found necessary
to have a Military force distributed through the
country to preserve order. Lieutenant Colonel
Haughton, commanding the. Mir Ohio Volunteers,
was accordingly sent to Columbia for this purpose.
Upon arriving near the town he found the
roads and streets of the city blocked up with
riegreee. The next morning he sent oat and
arrested all the able-bodied male negreee,
and, set them to work clearing the rab
bi& from the burned district. An order was then
issued requiring owners of slaves to call them up
and tell them they were free, advising them to eon
time their Work, with the understanding that they
should share the crop when harvested, but notifying
all those who wished to leave that they were at
liberty to do so. litany took advantage of the offer
and left, and have since been roaming about the
country, living on what they could steel, for the
supply of labor Is greater than the demand, and
their only method of obtaining a living this year is
by remaining with their former masters, who are
compelled to keep them if they wish to remain.
The Southern platen generally say that with the
exception of the lose in property In negresa, and the
unsettled state of affairs which the freeing of BO
large a body will naturally produce, they will be
better cif with free labor than slave.
The SOH of South Carolina is proverbially the
poorest in the South. No effort has been made to
recuperate, but after it has become exhausted by
the continuous raising of cotton, Rhea been allowed
to go to waste and new ground cleared up. It hat
been the policy of the planter to clear as much land
es possible, raise all the cotton and negroes he could
in a. few years, and, alter the son become exhaust
ed, he would Darien enough to emigrate to Louisiana
or some other Western State and buy a new and
larger plantation. This year there hall been no
cotton of consequence planted in the State. Large
quantities of corn and some wheat and . oats com•
prise the crop.
There is considerable cotton scattered over the
State from last year's crop in small lots, but the
great bulk of it les been destroyeo- la consequence
of the destruction of the ratsuaa, atoPl.tre of malls
and facilities for travel, the greater portion of the
citizens aro in the most lamentable state of igno
rance regarding the rest of the country. Many of
them still think that the Cessation of beetilltlee rs
-ensac rue war will Se resumed
41trulis a few Elam while °there admit that the
war Is over, but cantata that the emancipation of
the slaves is to be gradual, coverings period of
thirty years. They are subjugated most complete
ly and thoroughly. The very coarse taken by Sher-
Man In his march through the country did more
toward ending the war than a dozen victories. The
remedy was severe but effectual. I am informed
by Colonel liaughton that the oath of allegiance Is
being very generally taken by the inhabitants, and
that there Is a very general desire to get the State
government in working order as soon as possible,
and to settle down to work.
. . _
Very lulls trouble has °Conned iII the State from
returned soldiers. In the tipper Country, as they
call It, rahis were made upon property belonging to
the rebel Government, ithloh was appropriated In
discriminately; but when this was gone the
dflh
ouittes Missed. Negroes also, In some Instances,
banded together, and organized a system of robbery
from the planters, who, in some oases, shot them,
which they Were authorized to do by Colonel
Houghton, provided they could not otherwise pro
tect themselves.
THII SOUTHERN RAILROADS.
Unless the Government or Northern capitalists
step in and &Met the South In rebuilding their rail
roads It Will be many months before they are in
rowan Order. They have neither the MOM nor
the iron to 110 the wore.
. .
Speculators In cotton have commenced to arrive,
ano are going about the country buying Wherever
they can to advantage. Three Western men at.
rived here yesterday, via Charleston. They have
succeeded in buying several hundred bales, In small
lots, at from ten to fourteen cents in gold. There
appeara to be a general feeling of distrust In South
Carolina of paper money. They were so severely
bitten by the rebel Government that It has shaken
their confidence In alt payer currency.
There is one subject upon which It Is Impossible to
talk with Southern people without at once raising a
breeze, and upon widen it is impossible to reason
with them ; and that is the policy of granting no•
gross the right of suffrage. On this point they are
united. No amount of reasoning can oonvlnoe
them of the right or justice of the plan, and nothing
but the force of arms wilt ever indium them to see
m% to it. They say that they give up their slaves
willingly ; but, when you come to put him upon a
social or political equality with us, it Is more than
we can stand. In time they may be induced to grant
the privilege Upon certain conditions, *nett ae for
instance being able to read and write, and the owner
of a thousand dollars in Government Oiloailties. I
doubt the feasibility of church membership qualifi-

OAPTIIES OP DAVIS' AND ISSAIIREGAMD'S PRIFATS
CHARLESTON, S. 0 , June 24,1865.
First Lieutenant John W. Pollock, assistant pro
vost marshal general, Department of the South,
goes North from here to-day on a special steamer,
in charge or the private effeote and papers of Jeff
Davie and General Ireauregard, captured in Florida.
They were brought into Jadkonvllle, Florida, a few
daps rime, by one of the driven of the wagon, in
whose charge they had been placed. The capture
includes all the private despatches and correspond
ence of Beauregard, together with a considerable
quantity of the personal effects of Jeff Davis. Lieu
tenant Pollook , s instructions are to report to the
adjutant general, at Washington.
Among other things are three splendid uniforms,
presented to Gen. Beauregard by the ladles of Do
inmbia, S. C. ; Augusta, Ga., and Selma, Ala. An
important private telegram to the following effect
was also discovered :

Union meetings are being held all over the State.
From the tenor of the resolutions adopted, the
people of the yarlOtel districts appear to be uncer

A better spirit and more kindly feeling between
the whites and biaokS begins to be manifested. Re
fleeting people are desirous that the colored .race
should be encouragrd and educated to be useful
members of the new order of society that must now
be established. The negroes, they Say, must sup
ply the place of a white peasantry. For this pur
pose it Is proposed by some of the leading planters
to hold a meeting, at which a number of are more
Intelligent negroes will be invited to be present,
and rules and regulations for equitable and liberal
compensation for free labor will be submitted for
ratification. The meeting_ is proposed to be held
about the 10th of July, at Beaufort.
WHITE EISEMEGRATION.
Every inducement will be held out for white emi

ON TRH BASHI= COURBB, L. I.—HENRY CLAY
. DEFEATS ETHAN ALLEN.
On Tuesday a Match between the two famous
stallions, Henry Clay and Ethan Allen, for $2 000,
mile heats, beet three in five, to wagon, came off on
the Fashion Comm. There was a good attendance
of spectators, the day being fine and favorable, the
track in excellent order after the heavy rains of the
preceding day, and the horses themselves aoknow
ledged gcod ones. Ethan Allen made himself fa•
mous some years ago by his matches against his
great rival, George N. Patoheu and the celebrated
little mare Flora Temple. lie has not trotted in
pallid for three or lour years until yesterday ; his
new owner, Dan Mace, having made the matM In
question. • Henry Clay, owned by Kr. Waltermire,
brought himself into completions notice this season
by hie defeat of Commodore Vanderbilt, a horse
that bad previously gained a high reputation for
speed, but which was somewhat tarnished by that
defeat.
Hiram Woodruff drove Henry Clay, and ho not.
tainly brought the horse on the track in the highest
condition. The betting was at first even, but when
the horses were seen, the impression was generally
entertained that the little bay stallion was too
nosily, and 0100 to 080 on Clay was the current lino.
Milan H e c
ate betting Cray took —Henry Clay took the lead when the
word wall given, and, Ethan breaking before reach.
ing the turn, he passed the quarter pole a clear
length ahead In 36% seconds. On the back stretch
the bay stallion got a little closer, and was only
half a length behind at the half.mile pole In 1.12.
Humlay brokergaining three t o o h is
lengths, but
quickly had him down to his usual steady
gait, and he came up the home stretch and across
the score a length and a half ahead In 2.31.
Second Heat.—A fair send off; Olay broke twice
before !Minding the turn, but maintained his lead
notwithstanding, to the quarter pole, where be was
nearly two lengths ahead, in 36% seconds. Ethan
reduced the gap a little on the tack stretch, Mil",
breaking on t he third quarter, the black stallion
left him, and came home a winner by three lengths,
in 2 a2m.
Third Heat,—The black stallion got the best of the
sendoff, and, Ethan breaking before rounding the
tarn, the former led a length to the quarter In 36
seconds ; and nearly two to the half.mlie pole in
1.15%. Mere Ethan began to fall back, and. Clay
kept gradually widening the gap all the way home,
winning the heat and race by three lengths, in 2.34.

FILNArinaL AND COMMEICIAL.
The abrogatiOti of Southern trade regulation
must be regarded as the most important measure yet
developed by the National Administration to the end
of substantial and practical reconstruction. It le a
heavy burthen lifted from the shoulders of both the
South and the North—an impassable barrier be
tween them and their tendencies to reconciliation,
broken down—since, under this System, trade was
thrown exelnively into the nun of a few Specula
tore who, with the show of Ofileial authority to
ellence complaints, ruthlessly swindled the loyal
men of the South out or their property, while the
mass of Northern merchants and manufacturers
derived no benefit from these operations, being left
entirely out in the cold. These regulations were a
Constant source of wrong and irritation to the pos.
ple of both sections, who justly argued that, if trade
between them were proper and to be tolerated at all,
It should be based upon Such terms as would bsnetit
both producer and consumer, rather than entire to
the exclusive advantage of a Class of middle mu.
The sweeping away of this vexatious system in
augurates a better era, and indicates on the
part of the new Administration a just apprecia
tion of the importance of unrestricted commerce
as an element of political sympathy and union.
Government loans were particularly active yes
terday, and prices advanced; the 10.405 advanced
and the 040 s ; the 1881 loan was firm at 110,
which is also a rise. State 64 were also stronger,
selling at 89, which 18 an advance of 1. New City
Ca were better, selling at eog. Tile Share list was
not so strong, and prices tended downward ; Read
ing declined ; Pennsylvania Railroad 34, and
Camden and Amboy g ; Philadelphia and Erie was
steady at 24. The Oil stooks were almost entirely
neglected, a Consequence of the exposure of a swin
dling oil company in Now York. When examples
are made of a few more of the worthless concerns
that have succeeded In drawing from the pockets of
the people the hard earnings of many years of labor,
there will be some nano for the really good com
panies to regain a proper standard of value. In
City Passenger Railroad shares there is very little
doing; Tenth and Eleventh sold at 45 ; 78 was bid
for Second and Third ; 21 for Spruce and Pine ;
for West Philadelphia; 17 for Arch Wen; fog for
Race and Vine ; 21 for Green and Coates ; 26 for
Girard College ; 13 for Ridge avenue, and 20 for
Union.

Mr. Jay Cooke may be considered the "right

at placing the 7.30 s have been so suooessfui, that
today a hundred millions of these notes are In the
bands of people who, In the absence of his peculiar
tactics, would never have made the acquaintance
of these convenient and profitable securities. The
subscriptions continue to pour in. The sub-igente
