But, before they emerge from the guardian ship of the National Government, it is a solemn . and unavoidable duty to sur round them and arm them with every ad vantage that • can be conferred by those who have their interests more immediately in charge. Included in the filitliftll fulfil ment of this trust, are all other 'ques tions compensated labor, the right to marry, to own property, to be represented in the Legislature, to serve as witnesses and jurors, and all the franchises, suffrage among the rest. The best vigilance over these beings, fully one-third of the popula tion of the South, cannot secure for them di rect congressional action on these sub jects ; but much can be done by a philanthropic example and a compre hensive policy. - Indeed, it may be ad mitted that the whole problem of suc cessful Government, even for the whites, on this hemisphere, remains unsolved until the future of the colored race is secured. With whatever other questions the Con vention may deal, they are inextricably involved in those we have referred to, and will be sensibly affected as these are wisely or unwisely disposed of. The occasion is one for large minds. We are on the threshhold of events so mighty and so mas tering, that we Must summon our best, our purest, and our most disinterested. citizens to the council chambers. THE STABILITY OF OUR GOVERN• MENT. A. republic is rarely regarded, even by the most zealous advocates of that form of government, as remarkable for power to re pulse aggression, or vigor to maintain itself against insurrection. It appears to be a form depending so entirely upon the mutual support and harmony of its different mem bers as to be fitted for times of peace, and rather adapted to promote mercantile suc cess than ensure military triumphs. In in ternecine war a republic would seem espe cially liable to destruction from the want of a recognized supreme central power. In thq United states the government has been so slightly burdensome upon the peo ple that in periods of peace and prosperity the existence of a central power was hardly recognized, except as a source of patronage to office-seekers. Recent events have, how ever, shown both the existence and neces sity of such a connecting bond, which, although belonging to the States, could have no special regard for either of them— e sort of soul or mind, above the component Parts, and regulating the intercourse be tween the members, as well as the general movement of the whole. When the source of power is recogniza ble by the eye, and the popular mind is familiarized to considering it as em bodied in the living and moving form of a single individual, dignified by kingly station, and encircled by " honorable observance," it becomes easy to ac knowledge that the government can, like that single individual, ponder, direct, reward or punish. When, on the contrary, as with us, the visible officials of the Go vernment, even to the highest grade, are directly connected with the people, lifted Only for a moment above the mass to which they must soon return, to which they are responsible, and by which they are only regarded as convenient instruments or servants elected to enforce the popular will, it is easy to forget that this constantly changing band of otlioials is the mere em bodiment of an unchanging power, as com pletely as the king, who in legal parlance "never dies," is the representative of Ex ecutive authority in a Monarchy. The history of the United States has, how ever, from the very first, directly contradict ed the opinion that a republic is suited alone to maintain prosperity and peaceful relations. It had its origin in time of war ; was insti tuted, supported, and administered by the heroes of that conflict, and, while yet in its infancy, was again involved in hostility with the old established and powerful motherland from which it had en_ franchised itself. During many years a constant warfare was maintained with savage and hostile tribes, until again another foreign war ex hibited the peaceful Republic in a new light before the world, and Europe wondered at and admired the prowess displayed in the battle-fields of Mexico. The last great trial was yet to come, the final test that must decide forever the still mooted question—have we a strong and . stable Government ? A mighty rebellion, embracing one-third of the Union, well prepared, ably marshaled, suddenly burst into full vigor, while the na tional power was vexed, hampered, weak ened by contention and uncertainty even upon the most vital points. Notwithstand ing all this the triumph was complete, and the nation as a whole vindicated its strength against the mutinous members. When the treason had been utterly de feated, and the conquered armies sued for peace, and were as nobly and as freely met, in council by their victors as they had been gallantly met on the field, a vile instrument of the enemy treacherously murdered the chief who was welcoming them back to peace and fellowship. This crowning sin of a wicked conspiracy .. was intended to create confusion in the camp of the victors, and ensure the triumph of the doubly-dis honored rebellion. But again, as ever in the just providence of God, the right was might, and the treasonous blow but served to vindicate before a wondering world the strength of the national power. Though the head of the Goverdment fell, and though his death was a wound to the very heart of the people, the power never halted nor trembled ; it arose all the stronger from the blow. Justice sprang up in renewed vigor, and law avenged outraged mercy. Sudden, fearful retribution fell upon the offenders. Friend and foe, at home and abroad, breath lessly awaited the result, and alike learned —the one in gladness and the other in con fusion—that the vitality of the Republic was uninjured. Through evil report and good report, through peace and war, through triumph and defeat, we have ever been faithful to the belief that the people were the source of power, and that they were able to rule themselVes, and judge for themselves in every vicisitude that time could bring. Such a creed might have heretofore been doubted ; it was open to discussion, and might be disbelieved ; but the history of this country for the last few years, its pre sent condition, and its future prospects must be to every thinking mind a complete vin dication of the power, justice, and com pleteness of a democratic government. A . VALVABLZ REcoLLElimioiv. If the present sympathy of the Demo cratic leaders with JEFFERSON Davis, and their undisguised efforts for the release of that heartless and cruel traitor, under the demand for a civil trial, would not permit us to forget the early and continued cordial alliance between them and the rebel chief tains, an article like the following, from the last Chambersburg (Pa.) Repository, would be sufficient. The so-called Demo crats in the Senate of this State were last year actually dependent for their ability to thwart the efforts of Governor Cymric and the friends of the National Government against the rebellion, upon the protracted imprisonment of Colonel WHITE in tle Richmond jail 1 But let Colonel McCaunn tell the story himself. If there is a citisen who fought against the slave tyrants, one who loves his country, that does not gather front this truthful and thrilling statement a new cause for devotion to the Union party, he must be cidlOtlB indeed. We • hope to record Colonel (now General) WHITE'S re-election to the State Senate by a large majority "Colonel Harry White was nominated to the Union candidate for Senator in the Indiana, Cambria, and Jefferson district last week, after a protracted but friendly contest in the conference. Colonel White was chosen to the senate in 1862 as the regular Union Candidate, he being at the time a major in ono of the Pennsylvania regiments in active service in the Shenandoah Valley. He Wok his seat in the winter of 1863, but did not resign his commission, and after the adjournment, he promptly rejoined his regiment, then under Milroy, at Winchester. When Ewell, com manding ale advance of Lee's army, rout ed Milroy, Major White, with a consider able portion of his command, wag cap tured, and lie was awarded the hospi tality of Libby . and other rebel prisons. It was obvious to intelligent politicians on both sides that the then pending election would return sixteen Union and sixteen Democratic Senators for the session of IS6i, and the supre macy of the Union party in the Senate de pended, threfore, upon the return of Major White before the meeting of the Legislature and it required no extraordinary amount ot sagacity to assume that with the election over and the parties a tie in the Senate, Jeff Davis would be slow to release a prisoner who would give the predominance in the Senate against his trusted friends. Accordingly, every effort was made by the President and Secretary of War, in au indirect manner, to effect a spemat exchange for Major White before the crectionj but promptly as the Government acted in the matter, the Democracy had anticipated it, and Major White was doomed. Secretary Stanton instructed the commissioner ofexchange to say to Mr. °aid, the rebel commissioner, that one Major White, a prisoner, was wanted as a wit ness in a court-martial case—which was strict ly true—and any officer of like grade, not charged with positive violation of the rules of war, would be given in exchange for him, The proposition was made; in reply to which Mr. Ould gave a laugh of triumph, and informed our commissioner that he knew the value of Major White politically, and he was not to be taken at any such odds. The rebel Govern ment had been fully advised that the Shnate would be a tie if White should be retained, and Jeff. Davis was just as much a party to the disgraceful revolu tionary proceedings of the Democracy in the Senate in 1864, as Hopkins, Clymer St Co. Sub sequently various propositions were made to exchange Major White, but Jeff. Davis felt that his prize was too valuable, and he rejected all, Even a brigadier general, who was held as a criminal, was offered, but no grade of officer seemed to be of sufficient importance to the rebel powers to warrant them m surrendering Major White, and thus placing their ally, the Democracy, in the minority in the Senate of Pennsylvania. " All hope of exchange failed by means of the ordinary channels, and extraordinary expedi ents were resorted to in order to effect Major White's release, or failing in that, to get his resignation to GOP, Curtin. Parties in Balti more, who understood the underground road to Richmond, and made regular trips for a consideration, undertook to communicate with Major White, and offers were numerous to produce him for a large amount of money by subsidizingthe rebel officers; but they were declined. His resignation was procured, how ever; secreted in a pocket Bible, and brought North, much to the mortification of the rebels and the DeMocrae anti at a Special election they were defeated by an overwhelming ma jority, and the Senate unlocked. Disappointed in their purpose to render sabstantial aid to the Democracy, the rebels visited special ven geance on Major White, and he suffered all the horrors possible for a man to suffer and live. He made his escape three times, but was each time recaptured, and was honored with a rest dence in the famous dungeon Of Libbyfor some days, for his pertinacity in attempting to get away. At last his ingenuity prevailed - , and he escaped by disguising himself and passing North with a crowd of regularly exchanged prisoners. He was promptly promoted by governor Curtin to the lieutenant eoloneley and subsequently to the colonelcy of his rem.- ment, and brevetted brigadier general by the President, in Which capacity he remained in active service until the war was brought to a close by the surrenderfof Lee. "The Union men of his district have now rendered a just tribUte to his personal and political,worth and to his great privations for the cause, by his renomination for Senator, and we hope to record his election by a, deci ded majority. The Union men of the district must not be unmindful, however, that he is bated by the Democratic leaders, more than most men, because of his worthy efforts, while a prisoner, to defeat Jeff Davis' petty rebellion inaugurated in the Senate by reason of his absence, and they will leave no Means or efforts untried to compass his over throw. This is the only naturally Union dis trict in the State they will contest and their efforts must bring out corresponding efforts on the part of the Union mento preserve their supremacy. Let the character of the strug,gle be well understood from the start, and the union men of Indiana, Cambria and Jefferson, forearmed because forewarned, will achieve a decisive victory by the triumphant restoration of Harry White to the seat in the Senate which was lost to him by rebel hate for his devotion to our common country. LETTER FROM "OCCASIONAL." WASHINGTON, August 5,-18G5 My suggestion that it is with the South ern people to decide whether they will re main . outside in_ .a. subordinate or-provi sional condition, or enter upon the full AD, joyment of the blessings and equalities of the Union, has not fallen upon barren soil. If it were essential to the Government that the lately seceded States should be hurried into the national honsehold, or that their members should be carried bodily into the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States, there would •he some reason, in the bitter words and haughty bearing of . " the chivalry." But as it is almoSt their exclusive interest to come back to obedience and to association with their fellow-countrymen, we • are as in different to their holding out as we are surprised at their illogical indignation. The door stands wide open to all who do as the people of the free States do. The fatted calf is killed, - and the prodigal will be welcome enough, only he must not make conditionS. When he comes back, lie brings nothing to' help his family; or to heal the wounds he has assisted to inflict. He will be an expensive inmate of the household. No allusions will be made to his crimes, and io excessive bur dens will be laid upon him. But be cause he has been forgiven an offence that deserves punishment, he must not misun derstand lenity for weakness, or mercy for cowardice. With such feelings he never can enter the Union. His remaining out of it is, as I have said, is his own loss. The Government can bear it at least as long as the rebel. The day for urging men to ac cept its generous offers is past. It is time to cease conciliating the offending section. Let that section now begin to conciliate the power it has disregarded and defied. And the truest proof of its sincerity will be found in the readiest and most graceful submission to the national authority. OCCASIONAL. WASHINGTON. Further Pardons by the President. REOPENING OP MAIL COMMUNICATIONS IN THE SMITE A Rebel General Made the Inmate of a Workhouse CHOLERA ADVANCING SLOWLY TOWARDS OUR SHORES. The Number of Our Troops Iu "remas being Diminished. [Special Despatches to The Press.) WAsu rrrux ow, August 6, 1865. 4. lieneralt 9 Elliott and his Negroes. This was the rebel officer in command of Fort Sumpter when it was finally-stormed and taken by our troops. He proved to be a most generous foe, and soon became a favorite. He is an intelligent and cultured gentleman. When the bottom of the secession cauldron dropped out, ELLIOTT, who had been a very rich and prosperous man before the war, was rowed to the side of one of our men-of-war, near Hilton Head, by his former slaves, and asked to see the commander. Upon meeting him be said that he had milled to ask whether it was possible he could wit employment in our navy. He said he was utterly reduced, and wanted to work for his Hying. He pre ferred the navy, because he liked the sea, having enjoyed himself for years in sailing, gunning and fishing in the bay near his plan- tation. He had never been a politician, nothl ing but a gentleman of leisure. He entered the rebel service because he felt convinced that Mr. LINCOLN would take away his slaves,, and he had really fought for them. Re waa. out-spoken in saying to the officer auG several persons who were present that, kind as he had been to his slaves, they were better off than ever, now they were free. The Union.ollicer told him that we could not give him employ ment in our navy, and that we had. our own oeslpleto putinto place, and could not take care of those who had borne arms against the old flag. The freedmen, the General's former slaves, then rowed him back from. the ship to the shore, and seemed to be very fikuch at tached to him. Here,now, is a thoroughly sub dued rebel. My informant, from whom I get t big item, a naval officer of strong anti -slavery sentiments, gives it as hie opinion, unhesi. t atingly, that the former slaves would all vote us their masters desired, if those masters had treated them well. He says that tho President spoke like a common-sense statesman in his celebrated speech to the Quakers, when he made a SiMilar derdaratlon , The ties between these people, White and blaelt,are very close; in many cases the father owns his children, and sees his likeness repeated'in turn in the offspring of his own sons. 41.3 r informant also PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, AUGUST 7, 1865. says that the slaves are glad of their liberty, but the very fact that they are free makes them fonder of their masters and mistresses, where these have been "good" to them; He has no doubt that 2manelpation was Wide, find will work well. He states that there are many heavy slave-centres, vast communities of blacks, that have not yet been touched or reached by Union induenceS. Even in these the blacks know they can't be sold, or whipped, or Separated from each other ; that they can marry, and have a right to demand, pay We their labor. *** The Colored People ofWashington. One of the choice rebel expedients is to' ex cite bad feelings against the colored people. If the Union soldiers can be induced to insult and attack the negroes, it serves a double pur pose. It goes to prove the Copperhead cry that the soldiers - hate the colored man, and that the latter arc violent and troublesome; all which helps the rebels. A better behaved class is not to be found in any community than the colored 'citizen's of Washington. They have never been engaged in a riot; and during the last four to five years have been orderly, obedient, and ready to make any sacrifices for the Government. What• ever may have been the cause of the late alleged outbreak between the negroes and whites at Ann% Creek, you will find that none of the colored men from here have had Part in it. The Government have given back the railroad running from Aquia Creek to Fredericksburg to its former owners, some of whom were rebels, and from this, the trouble may have grown. The colored citizens of Washington have prepared a petition to lay before the next Congress, asking for certain civil rights, and I am told their argument will be unanswerable. They will present sta tiStieS to show how much property is owned by colored people, and how much tax they pay; and upon these data, based upon the record of many years, they will. build their appeal for justice. The memorial, writ ten and got up among themselves alone, will be signed by the petitioners in their own handwriting, and Cannot fail to produce a most favorable impression. A very strong party of white citizens will give their aid to this important movement. Congress has no right to interfere with suffrage in the States, but the District of Columbia is under its ex clusive jurisdiction ; and if there is a body of colored men on earth fit for civil franchise, it is the colored population of Washington. It is for Conzress to decide [By Associated Press.] Health of the President. The President has nearly recovered from his sickness of a week's duration, and yesterday received visitors. The Cholera Advancing; The State Department is advised by our Consul at Port Mahon that the cholera which has prevailed in Egypt is slowly advancing westward, lie adds: " From the reported virulence of the disease it is not without ap . - prehension here, this being a quarantine sta tion, that it may again spread over the eoun tly." 66 The Mighty rapen."

He had been ill only tem days. lie participated. with Admiral DUPONT in the. taring of Port Royal, S. C., and Other important places. His funeral will take place on 310n day. Our Troops in Texas, The stories that our Government is largely adding to our military forces in Texas are con tradicted by the official order to General to cause all the volunteer white troops, cavalry, artillery, and Infantry, arriv ing in that department, which he may think can be dispensed with, to be mustered out of service. The musters out will be by entire organizations,includiug all additional thereto by recruits and from other sources. Permission to Visit Davis. Several applications have lately been made to the executive authorities for special per mission to visit JEFF DAVIS. One of these is by his former physician, Who, at the request of his fathily, desires to professionally ascertain the actual condition of -that: - inalvidnal's. health. .TO this no anstver hatildfteen made, the Government having abundant means of constantly being advised on that subjecti and, so far as is known here, the prisoner's health is not suffering by the present treatment. A Damaging Collision. On Thursday night the propeller D. It Mount, bound to this city, and the large propeller New York, bound to Phiindel nhia with freight, collided when near Point Lookout, and both were injured. The New York was badly damaged, and for a time was in a sinking condition, but by the speedy use of the pump and prompt action on the part of the crew, the leak was stopped, and she proceeded •on her trip. The mount ver non bas'anived here, and will be immediately repaired. Postal Affairs.

Nearly every family in Georgia and Alabama, regardless of their ability, are drawing rations from the Govern ment, and claim it as a right.

The First Steps Towards Reorganization and the Restoration of Civil Law. EX-GEN. WADE HAMPTON ADVISES ALL HIS FELLOW-CITIZENS TO STAY AT HONE AND TAKE THE OATH. HE SHOWS THE EXAMPLE, PLEADING FOR LAW AND ORDER. He will not Expatriate Himself 'rust Now, for Many Reasons. EVERYBODY REQUIRED TO AID THE STATE IA BUILDING HERSELF UP AGAIN. RESTORATION OF NAIL FACILITIES. Benjamin F. Perry, having been appointed Provisional Governor of the State of South Carolina by the President, issued, July 31st, a Proclamation, in which he proclaims that all civil officers in South Carolina, who were in office when the Civil Government of the State was suspended, in May last, (except those ar rested or under prosecution for treason), shall, on taking the, Oath of allegiance prescribed in the President's Amnesty Proclamation of the 25th day of May,1865, resume the duties of their offices, and continue to discharge them under the Provisional Government till further ap pointments are made. And further, that it is the duty pf all loyal citizens to go promptly forward and take the oath of allegiance before some magistrate or military officer of the Federal Government, who may be qualified for administering oaths, and such are authorized to give certified copies theteof to the persons respectively by whom they were made. And such magistrates or_ officers are lffireby required to transmit the originals of such oaths as early as possible to Washington. And that the managers of elections through out the State will hold an election for mem bers of a State Convention at their respective precincts, on the first Monday in September next, according to the laws of South Carolina in force before SeeeaSion,"and that each elec tion district in tjle State shall elect as many members of the convention as the said district has members of the House of Representatives —the basis of representation being population and taxation. This will give one hundred and twenty-four members to the convention—a number sufficiently large to represent every portion of the State moat fully. Every loyal citizen who has taken the am nesty oath, and not within the excepted classes in the President's proclamation, will be entitled to vote, provided he was a legal voter under the Constitution as it stood prior to the secession of , Srintb. Carolina, And all who are within the excepted classes must take the oath and apply for a pardon, in order to entitle them to vote or become members of the convention. The members of the Convention thus elected on the first Monday in September next, are hereby required to convene in the city of Co hubbla on Wednesday, the 13th day of Septem ber, 1965, for the purpose of altering and amending the present Constitution of South Carolina, or remodelling and making a new one, which will conform to 'thegreat changes which have taken place in the State, and be more in uccordance With republiean princi ples and equality of representation. And that the Constitution aiid all laws of force in South Carolina prior to the secession of the...! ,, Ore .made of force under the `.ProVisicmal;;ZiOierinnent,excePt wherein they may conflict with the provisions of this Pro. clemation. And the Judges and Chancellors of tilt! State are required to exercise all the powers and perform all the dutieS which ap= pertain to their respective offices, and espe cially in criminal cases. It will be expected of the Federal military authorities now in South Carolina, to lend their authority to the civil officers of the Provisional Government, for the pnrpose of enforcing the laws and pre serving the peace and good Order of the State. And further, he -------- upon . good and lawful citizens to unite in bringing to 'justice all disorderly persons who are wandering about without employment or any visible means of supporting themseivei. (From the Charleston Courier, Ist htstant.] ADVICE FROM THE Er-REBEL GENERAL lIAIKETOIT. From the Columbia PhteniX, of the 27th inlet., we copy a letter from General Wade Hampton, which we present for the candid and earnest consideration of every patriot in our State. No one who is acquainted with the public career and private integrity of the writer will pass his suggesMons by unheeded. Our State is languishing in her present anomalous con ition, and can only he revivified by the hearty, intelligent, and united action of all of her citizens, and by the .restoration of her "civil Government" The general Government is ex hibiting its disposition to aid us to the full extent of its ability, and has provided us with an °nicer, appointed: from amongst our Own people, to guide us in our steps towards the resumption Of the dignity and rights of the State. What remains must be done the people themselves in theirsovereign capacity. The advice of Gen. Hampton with reference to the necessity which exists for every voter to take the oath of amnesty as prescribed by Rresident Johnson, can meet, with no possible plausible objection fromthose who are sincere in their loyalty to the Government. To another point of General Hampton's let her we direct earnest attention. The conven tion which is to Meet in September nest will be the most important political body that hag ever been convened in South Carolina. It is, therefore, of the utmost consequenqe that this convention should be composed ehtirely of the intelligent and truly patriotic men of our cOmmimity. We trust that the views pre sented in • the • letter which we subjoin will meet with the popular commendation they deserve, and that the influence of ,General Hampton may permeate the hearts of. _our countrymen anti fructify to the benefit of the State and the country at large : 2b the Editor of the CotembiaPheenix—Slß : Nn-. merous communications having been ad dressed to me, proposing to form a colony to emigrate, I take this method of answering them, not only on account .of their number, but because of the want of all mail facilities. The desire to leave a country which has been reduced tosueli a deplorable condition as ours, and whose future has so little of hope, is doubtless as wide-spread as it is natural. But I doubt the propriety of this expatriation of so many of our beat men. The very fact that Mir State is passing, through so terrible an ordeal as the present, should Cause her • 'sons to cling the more closely to her. My advice to_ all of my fel low-citizens is, that they should devote their whole energies to the restoration of law and order, the re-establishment of agriculture and commerce, the promotion of education; and the rebuilding of our cities and dwellings which have been laid in - ashes. Toaccomplish these objecta—the highest that patriotism can conceive—l recommend that all who can do so should take the oath of allegiance to the United States Government, so that they may participate in the'xestoration of civil govern ment to our State. War, after fOur years of heretic but unsuccess ful struggle, has failed to secure to us the rights for which we engaged in it. To save any Of our rights—to rescue anything more from the general rain—will require all the statesman ship and all the patriotism of our citizens. If the best men of our country—those who for years past have risked, their lives in her de fence—refuse to take the oath, they will be ex eluded from the councils or the State, and its destiny will be committed of necessity to those who forsook her in her hour of need, or to those who would gladly pull her down to irretrievable ruin. To guard against such a calamity, let all-true patriots devote them selves, with zeal and honesty of purpose, to the restoration of law, the blessings of peace, and to the rescue -of whatever of liberty may be saved from the general Wreck. If, after an honest effort to effect these objects, we fail, we can then seek a home in another country. A distinguished citizen of our State—an honest man and a true patriothas been ap pointed Governor. He will soon call a conven tion of the people, which will be charged with: the most vital interests of our State. Choose for this convention your best and truest men ; not those who have skulked in the hour of danger—nor those who have worshipped mam mon while their country was bleeding at every pore—nor the politician, who, after urging war, dared not encounter its hardships—but those who laid' their an upon the altar of their country. Select such men,. and malce them serve as your representatives. You will, then be sure that your rights will not be wantonly sacrificed., nor your liberty bartered for a mesa of pottage. lily in tention. is to pursue the course I Mem mend to others. Besides the obligations I owe to my State, there are others of a - personal character which will not permit me to leave the country at present. I shall devote myself earnestly, if allowed to do so, to the discharge of these obligations, public and private. In the meantime, I shall obtain all information which would be desirable in the establishment of a colony' in ease. we should - ultimately be forced to leave the country. I invoke my fellow-citizens—espeolally those who have shared with me the perils and the glories of' the last four yearsto stand by our State man-. fully and truly, The Roman Senate voted thanks to one Of their Generals, because, in the darkest boUr of the republic, he did not despair. Lot us emulate the -'example of the Roman, and thus entitle ourselves to the gratitude of our country. Beßpeetfully, yours, WADE HAMPTON.

Ten thousand freedmen and their families are farming for themselves in the neighbor hood of Vicksburg, - with excellent results, doing much better than those who worked by the month for wages.
