UNITED STATES GUNBOAT CONEMAUGH,
CHARLESTON, S. 0., August 25, 1865.
Correspondence of The Press.)
CHARLESTON AS IT IS
The world over it is remarkable howprophe
eies of evil, 'Rieke(uy made, are apt to be ful
filled upon those only who utter them. There
was no more hackneyed croak from the South
ern enemies of our Government than that, in
event of war, the grass would grow wild -in
the streets of Northern cities; whereas, no
where has that evidence of decay transpired
but in the very towns of those who predicted
it. Some of the best thoroughfares of Charles
ton, even yet, so long after the revival of in
dustry by our occupation of the place, resem
ble, when seen in perspective, the lanes of a
village, so green are they with untrodden moss
and grass blades.
Many of the citizens who took the oath, are
trying to observe it faithfully; but their foes
in such endeavor are they of their own house
holds. The ladies (I) are always ready, either
in infirmity or malice, to talk political heresy.
They sharply insist on the use of the word
" Confederate" in all references to their dis
persed armies, which they speak of with una
bated pride. Avowing their former desirous
expectation that Jeff Davis would, when the
South's independence was secured, declare
himself Dictator and Emperor—playing the
role of Louis Napoleon—they, in the veriest
madness, still dream of a monarchy. When
such a subject as negro suffrage is broached,
their exasperation is intense, and indeed it is
difficult to conduct the lightest conversation
with them without their being sooner or later
provoked into unbecoming ire. At a party
the other night, a lady being asked to play
"Yankee Doodle Come to Town," flatly de
clined—saying that. Yank had already come, and
nobody wanted him.
There are neither theatricals, concerts, lec
tures, nor any public evening amusement
whatever. The town is scarcely more lively
than the miserable settlements of the interior,
which lie many miles apart among the swamps
and pine barrens. Once in a while we have an
auction of confiscated abandoned furniture,
confiscated In assumption that the owners
must have had treason-guilt on their con
sciences, or else they would not have fled
from their effects. Considerable of this furni
ture is fine. Mirrors, pianos, &e., are nume
rous. The army *Mears have in temporary
use the best of the things. But one sees at the
store rooms a full amount of stuff ridiculously
antiquated gad grotesque. The poor old
portraits of bygdue people nobody knows.
Who shall buy them? At a positive sale, how
ever, off they must go; and if the destiny of
some painted bigwig or his matron is not to
look out from a fireplace, or down upon the
operations of a negro barber shop, sheer
ehanee is to be thanked. •

Charleston had an admirable Orphans'
Rome. It was founded in 1792. The building
was enlarged a few years ago to a size
and appearance Philadelphia or New York
would not be ashamed on On the grounds in
front is a white marble statue of William Pitt,
slightly defaced, and moreover disfigured
with the green stains of time. The central
hall contains, on mural tablets, many names of
persons from whom the institution received
donations and legacies. A cupola, with a porch
projecting to each of the cardinal compass
points, is crowned by a small belfry, on top of
which stands the fig - are of a female holding a
child by the hand; a "lone star„ blazing on
the former's forehead. Here the view of
Charleston and its surroundings is birds-eye.
It looks composed almost entirely of frame
houses, so greatly, do these preponderate in
numbers. The expanse of shingle roofs is re
lieved by the plentiful interspersing of trees
branching up from yards and gardens. The
marsh-margined rivers are detected, at low
tide, to be so full of shoals and reedy tracts as
to appear hardly navigable for flatboats. You
&mot find in South Carolina the bold shore,
the permanent channel, and wholesome water
of the Northern river!
At the opening of the bombardment the
children in this asylum (upwards of two hun
dred) were removed some eighty miles up the
country to Orangeburg, Our army use the
premises as a hospital. It Is not damaged any.
ITS CIISTOM. HOUSE
A distance up East Bay, the "Water street"
of Charleston, stands what is called the new
Custom-Rouse, commenced about Mt, and
still far from perfection. Its design, both in
style and materials is magnilliput. A lower
story, with walls of solid granite and an in
terior, a labyrinth of massy pillars of the same
substance, supports the upper part, the body
of the building ; which is of itself two stories
in height, adorned externally all around with
Corinthian pilasters and columns of pure
white marble, and faced everywhere with
that. A wide circle of similar shafts, but of
iron, is intended to support a central dome.
All the inside of the structure is as bare of
finish as a barn. A temporary roof remains
on, punctured by shells. Among the weeds
outside lies a vast amount of ready-wrought
marble—friezes, capitals, sections of columns,
tee. ; most of•which pieces are still in the box
mg in which they came from New York.
Foundation for such a weighty edifice wag
only obtained here by the trouble and cost of
pile•driving. A million and a half of dollars
will be needed to complete it.
HER SUPPLY OF WATER
Charleston's reliance for water is on cisterns
and pumps. The flood tides were allowed to
enter sewers and the water retained until
ebb, when it was discharged with what filth it
might convey. Then flowing in anew, it was
held for a time to be of service in case of con%
flagrations, the hose of the primitive engines
being dropped through holes in the street
pavement. But there being no mains and
plugs, fires, when they did break out, were
usually very disastrous. There is an artesian
well in the city, but it is but little used.
THE CHARLESTON COLLEGE
The College of Charleston is a large, brown
building, with a pedimented colonnade in its
front's centre. Things there are in all the con
fusion and decay of desertion. Black dust
Wercoats the busts, forms, cases, Ale., of the
chms-rooms. The museum of the college was
evidently once worth examining ; but whole
sale "carryings off" have taken place as re
gards not only the natural history specimens,
but the books of the library, the scientific in
struments, pictures, and everything else. A
fragment of fuse shell lies on the desk in the
president's room. That functionary was sit
.
tingeloseby one of the windows of the chamber
when said piece, from a shell exploding in the
air, cut through the sash and dropped upon
the. rleldpeao/eted door. I happened to take
up a pamphlet from a book shelf in one of the
upper apartments, arid what should its title
bet—" A Eulog3k on John C. Calhoun." I did
not slop to read it, but thought that tholigh it
might be an exeellent eulogy on the man, the
surrounding wreck was a still better commen
tary on his teachings.
But, indeed, the whole city abounds with
such practical commentaries : from the empty
docks—Whose rotten palmetto logs, swarming
with vermin, are daily giving way, and the
gaping warehouses which not even rats now
deign to occupy—to the fortress-like citadel
up town, once the State Military School,
crowded then with aristocratic cadets, and
now with grim negro troops ; the fence of the
extensive parade ground, long since totally
gone, and "universal smash)] there as else

there will be no trouble whatever in that

The information from other Southern States

are represented as doing all in their power to

The Reported Visit of John Bright.
It is•not believed here, as stated in the Eng

Jim? BRIGHT to visit the United States as the
guest of theThation, and certainly the Navy
Department has no knowledge that the Cole.

to bring him to this country. The Colorado,
only two or three months ago, was placed on

probable that she will soon return hither.

'Views on Reconstruction.
BY SION. N. G. urßAtf,. OP CONCORD, N. R.
'Prolix the Boston Daily Advertiser, Aug. 29, 1865.]
In some remarks made by me in the New
Hampshire Legislature relative to the amend
ment, of the Constitution of the United States
abolishing slavery—a brief report of which
was_ made to your .paper—l abated that it was
important to show the power of amendment,
because the change then under consideration
was only one of a series required, and on which
early action: Should be had. Tao remark was
commented upon at the time, and has been
since, as manifesting a disposition unneces
sarily to interfere with- the Constitution and
as revolutionary in its tendency.
I desire, at this time, to state tlie. nature of
the amendments then eontemplated;with some
reasons for them, because they seem ta me to
furnish the true mode on which to proceed in
reconstructing the Union.
I. I would amend article 1, section.% of the
constitution so that representatives. in Con
gress and elebtors of President and Viee,Presi
dent of the United States should be appor
tioned among the several States in the ITinon
on the basis of the number of legally auttio
ri zed voters in each State.
11. I would provide that all persons should
be so far equal, in the eye of the law, that no
Person should be restricted from the right of
residence in any State of the Union., the right
to hold real or personal property, the right of
equal privileges in courts of justice, and to
testify on terms of equality - with all other per- '
sons, and equal rights and facilities in the en
joyment
of means of education—on account of 1
any difference of race, complexion, or color.
111. I world provide that the enjoyment of
equal political and civil rights, and rights of
elective franchise, irrespective of any dis
tinctions of race or color, should be regarded
as essential requisites of a republican govern-
Ment, and should be guaranteed to the people
of each State in the Union.
IV. I would amend article 1, section s, of the
Constitution by striking out the provision
"that no tax or duty shall be laid on articles
exported from any State."
. The first three amendments could be placed
. in one , but are presented in this form.in order
that, if they should not all be carried in the first
instance, we should have the advantage of
any amendment that might be adopted until
the whole could be secured. The reasons of
two of these amendments are sufficiently ap
parent, but the especial object of the first
should be kept before the public until the
alarming evil it is designed to remedy shall
be perfectly understood and appreciated,
it will be borne in mind that by the provi
sions-of the Constitution, as now established,
Representatives in Congress and Electors of
President and Vice President of the United
States Lure apportioned to the several States
on the basis or edding to the whole number of
free persons in each State three-fifths of all
other persons.
.By the census of 1860 there were, in the
Southern States, nearly four millions of slaves.
Three-ilfths of that number, or twenty-four
nundred thousand of them, are therefore, by
the Constitution as it now exists, entitled to
be repreeentea. and, under the present spoors
tionment of members in Congress, the voting
population of the Southern States would have
eighteen representatives in Congress and a
like number of electors more than the same
Toting population of the North.
With slavery abolished, the remaining two
fifths are represented, causing a farther in
equality of twelve representatives, or thirty
in all, making the representation in Congress
to which the South would be entitled ninety
seven members, when they should have but
sixty-seven ; an inequality, by three votes, greater
than the entire representation of New _England, or
her entire voice in the selection of President and
' Vice President.
It is manifest that this astounding in
equality should not be tolerated. We cannot
afford to stultify ourselves in this day of our
final reckoning with the South, by the longer
continuance - of such preponderance Of power
in disloyal hands. -
The fourth amendment is of a different cha
racter. Its importance has been enhanced by
the crisis forced, upon us, and the vast indebt
edness it has caused. When the Constitution
was established our population was small; and
we had no productions on which it seemed des
sirable to impose an export tax. We are now
a large manufacturing people, and have vari
ous productions, some of them wholly un
known, and others with but little surplus for.
export, which now form staple necessities of
the world. We can tax these articles only by
an excise tax, which we must pay as well as
the foreign consumer. While, whenever an
export tax will answer our purpose, such arti
cles might be left free for the use of our own
Citizens, and to our manufacturers for their
foreign export, without the necessity of pro
tecting them through a cumbrous system of
drawbacks. We could then tax the foreign
consumers merelys and compel them to pay
their proportion. of the indebtedness their alli
ance with treason created. The South could
not complain of this, as the Confederate States
have set us this example in their Constitution, I
and their friends abroad could hardly except I
to this authority.
This ohmage is not vital to the nation, like '
the others prOpOSed, but it is not so difficult or '
diverse from them in its character but it may
be considered and acted upon at the same titn.e.
A great nation should have the power of se
lecting its mode of taxation as cases may arise,
so as best to protect and promote its own inte
rests.
There are difficulties in every system of re
construction that CM be devised, and no little
difficulty in determining which is most de
sirable. The course, above proposed, of a
change in our organic law is one mode of ac
tion, The 0 eat .0+2.-vrtoctrr Isernatty - iNd PC.013,60.3. -
OS '' , 7 51.0 t 'on %le .1
Southern States directly by
•ethe power of the Executive and Congress, and
enforce such demands as they may hold essen
tial to peace.
We propose to examine the just grounds of
each. The right to sustain the latter system I
fully concede. The only question I shall con
sider is, whether it is the most expedient for
attaining the end desired. Its advocates claim
that their views can be effected at once by
arrangement. eGo to the 'South,. they say,
" and Offer them, if they will give the negrooB
the right of suffrage, so as to make us safe, we
will give the South amnesty so as to make
them safe, and they will accept it:*
If this be so, it is all very well, and we need
inquire no farther. But we should not be too
sangnine of the immediate Successful results
of our efforts. We thought the struggle of
war would cease in six months; in nine
months ; but it required four long years of the
most desperate strife the world ever saw to
bring us to our present position. The civil
adjustment that is to ensue is likely to bear
some proportion to those years of trial. It
required along, protracted discussion, threugh
years of great public anxiety, to realize the
benefits of the war of the Revolution in the
adoption of the Constitution of the United
States. Reconstruction is, in some respects, a
similar labor. The adjustment of public senti-
Input: and enforcement of radical changes
affecting the intveste and prejudices of nu
merous States, each having its distinctive
views on questions of suffrage, may be for
some time eieferred, and any system pf action
determined on should be adequate to with
stand this delay.
It is questionable whether the course pro
posed is the best adapted for this trial. It is
perehiptory, based on terms presented by the
Executive or Congress alone, and, if these
terms are not acceded to, the South is, to be
withheld from all political union with us in
deffilitely. How long this dead lock, should it
arise, can be sustained before au excited pub
lic, without serious detriment to the country
or retroaetion in our cause, it is impossible to •
say. It is clearly desirable so to frame our
course as to make some progress from the first
with the South, and farther, in case of a direct
issue with them, it would tend very much to
strengthen our position could we show a con
current action of the people in its favor.
Any movement made should also be general
and psaceful in its character, if it can be so,
rather than adopted as a punishment, or con
fined to a single section of the country. We'
should place the whole people in the same
relation to the colored race in reference to
their civil rights, rather than attempt to en
force on others •what We are not willing
cordifdly to adopt ourselves as a matter of
duty and. principle.
It should father be remembered, if we dic
tate terms, or arrange with the South in this
manner, that however they may, for the time
being, change their constitution and laws, they
will still have it in their power to remodel
them again, by and by, at their pleasure, with
out our having any immediate right to resist
them. Their taws and institutions also being
local, they will be subject to be adjudicated
and administered upon only by State tri
bunals and officials. I know it is said that the
Suffrages of the negro population, if attained,
Would prevent all wrong from this cause; but
the same "persistent, wiley power that cheated
the Southern people into secession may be
able to deceive and defraud the negro.
I will now proceed to consider a mode of re
construction that seems to me more prefera
ble ; that is, by making such changes in the
Constitution or organic law as shall secure the
desired result. .
The first inqniry which arises here is,
whether such changes can be made. This de
pends much on the. number of States whose
assent in the present condition of the country
is required for this purpose.
Prior to the rebellion the States were thirty
six in number, eleven of whom seceded, re
ducing the number in the -Union to twenty
five, by whorteall legislation for the last four
eyes has been perfected, and ,the war has been
carried on till its final triumph. During all '
this time, neither. in legislation, in strife, or ;
in triumph'. have the seceded States consti-
tuted, practically, any portion of the •Uriion.
We have voted to admit new States; we have
elected a President and Vice President ; have
conducted most critical negotiations abroad,
and discharged all the functions of a nation.'
Our banner has floated solely at the head of
our own armies, and borne down all oppose- 1

ceptance of the third amendment as to suf
fi age would be more doubtful. But, suppose
the first two amendments had been adopted,
and the third rejected, how then do we stand
in reference to the South
When the first-named changes are made and
have become incorporated into the organic
law of the land, their effect will be to with
draw eighteen representatives in Congress
from the South, and add an equal number to
the North, making:, on every test question that
may arise, a relative difference of thirty-six
votes in favor of the North greater than has
ever heretofore existed under the present
Constitution. With this marked change in
representation two results would follow.
The fear of the predominating influence of
the South on the legislation and action of the
Government would be very much diminished,
while the South would immediately feel the
change, and a controversy would at once arise
among Southern men whether they might not
regain their power, and materially add to it,
by extendingthe right of suffrage to the negro
population. This object they might very ,
plausibly hope to effect by fair treatment of
the negro, and the influence they might thug
expect to exert over him. In some of the
States this argument would be very likely to
prevail early, and, in all, would operate as a
constant and most efficient means for the ulti
mate attainment of universal suffrage by the
consent of the South. There would be the
farther compensation that the two races would
have longer opportunity to become accus
tomed to their new position, and learn their
respective needs and relations to each other,
and be better qualified for change. The dan
gers of bringing suddenly together unwilling
and unprepared races would be diminished,
and these dangers are not trivial.
Who shall, for instance, initiate the new sys
tem to be inaugurated at the South without
some important Southern aid for the purpose?
Who shad revise and arrange the check list of
voters, and compute the votes to be thrown?
The blacks are hardly competent for this pur
pose now. Will the whites do it with any fair
ness or justice? If not, the only alternative
would be to have a provost marshal as a mode
rator, attended with a military force, at every
ballot-box throughout the entire South, and.
the men elected are then to be qualified and
act, if they choose to do so, or are competent
to act, either or which may bo problematical.
It is evident great chap es can progress only
with public sentiment. Laws even sustained
by general public sentiment, when opposed
by an active and powerful minority, can be
enforced only -with much difficulty, as is
witnessed in maintaining acts for the
promotion of temperance, and in various
other instances. Our situation then, is
precisely this: There are certain difficul
ties to be rarnoved, wrongs to be righted,
and question' to be adjusted. These are in
equalities of representation; protection of the
general rights of the negro; settlement -of the
question of his enjoyment of the right of suf
frage ; and, if need be greater option in the
application of our claims on the resources of
the country to meet our liabilities. If we could
arrange with the South, these matters might
readily be adjusted by a Change Of the organic
law by common consent. But we cannot ex
pect to make such arrangement of terms with
eleven different organizations, each varying,
more or less, in its views and decisions. This
is one difficulty.
Another difficulty is the diversity
of opinion
at the North. Our prophets are at variance,
some saying lc., here; some lo,thcre and some lo, nowhere. There is but one arbiter in such
case—the loyal people—who alone have the
power and, if rightly applied to, the just ag
gregate discernment to - find the clue to lead
us out of these labyrinthine difficulties by
their declared will; dictating such change in
tae organic law as our necessities demand.
The justness of their decision none need to
doubt or gainsay. They will demand only
what is for the common peace. These terms,
once thus determined on, will be accepted by
the South, and she should be cordially wel
comed back into the new Union, to share its
blessings on equal terms with us, and be de
fended, alike with US, by its power. We shall
then begin the march of freedom for the
world, and the nations will keep step with us.
There are other minor difficulties arising out
of the present controversy, and exciting the
public mind, that are worthy, perhaps, of some
consideration. I would reaffirm the Monroe
doctrine, in the precise terms in which it was
originally enunciated, and leave it there. It
will take care of itself without a gun being
fired. I would again formally , demand com
pensation for the marauding depredations of
British Alabama% fitted out at her ports, and
at all times received back to them for their
protection and support, and leave thatto abide
the result. The dynasties of Louis 'Napoleon
and Palmerston and Russell are rapidly pass
ing, away, and the strife, on the part of their
successors, will be who shall first reestablish
friendly relations with us by the removal of
all grounds of complaint ; or, should not this
be done, we should. at any time be justified in
seizing the neutral port of Nassau and those
of other friendly islands, and holding them
till indemnity is obtained. There is no hurry
on this point. Our indignation will become
no cooler by delay, and our recompense be
none the less sure.
It is sufficient for the present generation to
put down the rebellion, to reconstruct the
Union, and to commence efficiently the pay
went of the national debt, while we have the
coming generation to enjoy theglories, and
protect yet farther, if need be, the rights of
the Republic. N. G. Urmitm.
The Indian Outrages in Texas.
DETAILS OF MASSACRES MENTION= BRIEFLY NY
THLEGBAPII
The San Antonio (Texas) Herald, of the sth
ult., has the .particulars of some daring and
fiendish depredations committed by Indians
in that neighborhood. It seems that Mr. Henry
Mercer while on the road leading to Sister
dale, with his wagon, on the 31st, was attacked
by a party of twenty Indians, and stripped
entirely naked, and immediately after stabbed
in three different places in the body by lances,
but not scalped. His son, who was on horse
back riding ahead of the wagon, escaped by
the fleetness of his steed to Sisterdale, where
he procured assistance and went back to the
scene of the outrage. His father was found
dead and robbed of everything that was in
the wagon and the Indians gone. The
same party of Indians stole all the horses. in
the vicinity of Sisterdale.
Another party of Indians, on the following
Monday, attacked Mr. Charles Smith, at a
point seven miles above Fredericksburg, while
he was on his way home. He was strangled to
death by being dragged some distance by a
rope fastened around his neck and to his
wagon, and was afterward stabbed in several
laces with a knife. He was then robbed of
orses, saddle, pistols, and contents of .his
wagon. On the next day . , Tuesday, a party of.
fifteen Indians appeared in Snuaw.Creek set
tlement, fifteen - miles above Fredericksburg.
They rode up to the house of Charles Gonsing,
killed him, scalped his wife alive, and after
ward cut her across the body with a knife, be
sides stabbing her in several places, her per
son having been previously violated. The
Indians took her only child with them. .Al
doctor was immediately proctored by the
neighbors, who thought it possible that the
woman might recover. Scouts of citizens
were sent in pursuit of each party.
In addition to the above terrible outrages,
on the 25th of July . , a German.' named henry
Keutzing, who resided in Mason county, while
riding in a buggy with 'his wife, was attacked
by a party of about five Indians. >After being
closely pursued for some little distance, they
both Jumped out of the buggy, thinking , to
bide in the thicket but ware soon oYerliike,ri•
Mr. was immediately killed and scalped ;
his -wife was afterwawds stripped or her,.
clothing and her persortylolated ; after which,
she was stabbed in seyeralplaces in her breast;
than scalped and left for dead. She was after..
wards recovered by some of her friends, ant,
lived long enough tendetail the above horribUt
particulars, when she died. Others were shot
with poisoned arrows. These Indians are all
well armed, and seem extremely anxious. to

IMBUE
About a fortnight ago it was persistently ru.
mored that the Secretary was about to make a
new loan for 00,000,060. When this story was
dissipated as being wholly gratuitous, another
rumor was started last week to the effect that
he was increasing the volume of legal tender
notes, because new compound notes stamped
with recent dates had been seen in the market.
The Treasurer of the united States, General
Spinner, set this second surmise at rest, in the
following note, before the appearance of the
general statement of the public debt:
TREASURY OF TDB UNITED STATES,
WA.sttlacoren, Sept: 1,1865,
To the Editors of the Evening Post :
Your money article of Monday, August 28th,
contains the following : "It is reported that
compound interest notes of quite recent date
are in circulation; showing that the currency
is expanding instead of being contracted,"
Now, when I assure you that the notes or a re
cent date, that you speak of, have been issued
in exchange for such as have run from six
months to a year, and that in this way over three
hundred thousand dollars in accrued interest have
already been saved to the Government, you win
see, that while your reported fact is true, your
inference is far from being so. Will you please
make the proper correction 1
Very respectfully yours,
F. E. SPINNER, Treasurer U. S.
The statement of the pnblic debt on Septem
ber Ist, so highly favorable in everyparticular,
was not without its effect upon the stock mar
ket, imparting a firmness to every description
of securities. Government loans were not
premed for sale, Holders of these securities
should appreciate their value now, if they
never did before, with the evidence before
their eyes of Uncle Sam's stability and integ_
rity. There was little doing in State loans,
the War Loan 6s selling at 100, which is
a decline. City Os were rather weak, espe
cially the Municipals, which sold at 91%.
The market for company bonds is very
active, with further sales of Philadelphia and
Erie Os at 94; Lehigh Navigation Gs, 'Bl, at 95;
Reading 65,'86, at 110; Wyoming Valley Os at
89; Camden and Amboy mortgage Os at 10%
and the Os of 'BB at 823 A. The Rikilway share
list was very active, and prices generally bet
ter. Reading closed at 53%—an advance of %.
There was an active movement in Catawissa
Railroad, the preferred stock selling at 28%
an advance of 2'4, and the eernmon stock at
15%, which is a similar advance. Philadelphia
and Erie was steady at 22, and Pennsylvania
Railroad at 57%. Minehill sold at 56—an ad
vance of 4; 29 was bid for Little Schuylkill, 28
far North Pennsylvania, and 42% for Northern
Central, City Passenger Railroad shares con
tinue very dull; 21 was bid for Spruce and
Pine, 49 for Chestnut and Walnut, and 10% for
Race and Vine; 36 was asked for Green and
Coates. Canal shares are in fair demand, and
at alieut farmer rates, with WO Of Schuylkill
Navigation, common, at 26%, and preferred do,
at 34 1 /.@34%; 59 was bid for Lehigh Navigation,
9 for Susquehanna, Canal, 30 for Delaware Divi
sion, and 52 for Wyoming Valley Canal. In
Bank shares there is little or nothing doing,
but holders are firm; 190 was bid for North
America, 180 for Philadelphia, 118 for Parmerto
and Mechanics), 42 for Commercial, 28% for Me
chanies', 90 for Kensington, 45 for Penn Town
