Did Judge Tay lor pause to rebuke this disgraceful con duct ? No,' he paused, indeed, as if to listen to its charms ! And, in the midst of thip, with great emphasis, he advised the League to . " make the atmosphere en tirely too warm for traitors and sympathi zers here." Let it be remembered that he had labored to show that the entire Democratic organization was opposed to the Government. He has told us already that seeking protection, from the Con scription Art. through the process of the law was opposing the Government. Now, will ho tell us- in what "way he aclvises the League to make tha atmos phere too warm for Democrats ? for the Democratic party at large was denounced, and nobody else can be meant in the ap plication of thes3 abusive cpiihts. How, then, is it proposed that twenty-five hundred Ivep'.iblican of Huntingdon county, are to make the atmosphere tco hot for two thousand Democrats, who obey and claim the protection of the laws,? Will it be d-inc by persecution ? or by threats and intimidation ? Wo have read a little of English, French and Roman history, but we have no recollection of a single instance where a judge descended from the bench to the multitude to invoke the spirit of the mob.

"C "POCcb Of Mr. WallAM. ----- . Scqucstcrril Saiuls in South Car olina. After numerous delays the lirst sale of lands seemestcred and confiscated from fugitive rebels has actually taken place at Hcuufort, S. C- The sale .was made under the direction of the tax-commissioners of the I'nited States, Dr. W. II. Brisbane and Judge AVording. About one hundred ami seventy lots were oilered, mostly on the Islands. Terms cash down Rev. Dr. Reek, of Boston, gives in the N. Y. Rcamir.f.r, some of the results: "About eighteen thousand acres were sold to parties other than the United l State $10 th States bid in ' about nineteen thousand acres, at an average price of lllly-tw or fifty-three cents per .icrc, or an aggregate of lOjOUU. i.ue-i tasi lnciuueo, apan from the town ot Jieautort, some.ottne plantations adjacent to it, six or seven plantations at and "near Land's End, on St Helena, .various large tracts of timber lands, and certain choice plantations re ennvvl'for snccial purpose?. Four of the plantations were struck, ott to jreeanun or their agtmts. Oue of these is on St. He Iena,,,COrangc Grove,' and brought 225 ; two are on Latlies' Island ; one, the In let,' sold at $305, and the other, Oak land,' .i00 The fourth is on'this(Port Royal) Island, called ' lidgerly,'. which was bid off at $710". The last named purchase was made on behalf of contribu tors from Edgerly, associated witb mosl of the peopl? of a neighboring plantation, Tho Red House, who supplied part of he requisite funds." Dr. Reck describe the process by which these freedmen raised-thc money to make, their purchases, every adult contributing to common stock, that they might be en abled to remain in or near their old homes, pa vin; nor furnishing rations. But this was of short continuance. One and all they re pelled the thought of leaning on the "gov ernment. All they wished .was the lib erty of buying, as heretofore, at the gov ernment store : (which the governor as sures me will be freely granted ;) or, if need be, they will go 'a fishing or oys tering.' In one or two particulars, of some signifficanrc, they recognized, never theless, continued need of the counsel and superinlendance of a white man. .They needed, they said, a protector from injury and a helper, in business trans actions, especially in the sale of their cot ton. They would need a friend and coun feellor in home matters and difficulties. And for those reasons they were disDosed to make a generous remuneration for the presence and aid of -such a friend in the use Oi a house, lands, &e. Nevertheless, they would have no ' overseer. " The experiment of self-support and self-"distinction, by these-freedmcn, has thus been inaugurated. It is an interest ing experiment, and, I venture to pay, a hopeful oue. In anticipation of such effort.-', inquirers had been repeatedly made of the most intelligent and reliable among the colored people, whether the experi ment wo ild be a snfe'or.e. Will the peo ple work! Can they provide for them s dvcfi And theanswer had been, in variably and emphatically, They can ! they will!' God grant that so it may pro-, e.

Nor, we ft-ar, will this be all.
