,\ir. Editor: Accept the adventures of a
poor lunatic oil speculator, who was an eye
witness to all his own troubles, and is anxiou 8
to become a freedman from the thraldom of

there are many now drinking i® spite of this
thieving) war, who distinctly remember what
a state of terror our country was collapsed in
to some few years ago by that frightful epi
demic which swept over our land called ‘‘the
gold fever.” The disease raged rapidly—the
patient’s pulse beat to the tune of tho auction
eer's hammer, the estate was sold, house and
land pocketed, and the convalescent wretch
on his way to the land of Humbug, snoring
California. The oil cholic has roped in many
an innocent; the malady has been very con
tagious, reaching and shaving that sublime
-md wise class, shoddy-cloth speculators,
radicals and bounty-jumpers. All have dipped
into the rolls of .fat, dreaming of ele
gance, sumptuous mansions, titled pos
terity, emancipation holiness, overthrow
ol Maximilian, ruling Congress, and
hiring Johnson as an amanuensis, and so pre
serve the record of honest cotton thieves—all
these mighty revolutions to spring from grease-
Being tired of the war, and suffering from
curiosity, I slapped myself into the ears, check
ing my carcass to the oil regions. I soon
formed the acquaintance of ah enthusiast—one
who pleased me well by his quaint manners
and his honest expressions—the latter quality
I had not seen during the war, and conse
quently was obliged to prick myself, to learn
if I was awake. Mr. Speculator said he liked
me, wished my confidence. I gave him all I
had of an army conscience—we swore (in onr
looks) eternal friendship, became talkative,
confessed our secrets, evea down to our boots.
I was asked to be his partner. I readily agreed,
without any fear of loss, as I had cut the
iOjuintance of my empty pocket-book,
and curst all my stingy election candidates
whom 1 was fool enough to vete for. Specu
lator said ho had a grand scheme on foot.—
"Now,” said he, in a fa Forest whispering
style, “I have five hundred dollars which I
1 am willing to risk; we wiil go
to Oil city, take the advantage of
of some poor devil, who has not funds enough to
carry out his plans, in boring deep enough for
o I; thus We ll soon realizes fortune. Keep mum
about this, there are several New York sharpers
aboard who might head us oft.” I mused for a mo
ment, then grasped Speculator’s hand and agreed
to play the fool. Long before we reached that
city, our nasal organs were treated to a most
odoriferous smell, almost lilting us out of our
seats, but we were above all sentiment—gain
was our battle cry. We slapped each other on
the shoulder confidentially, elevated oqr eye
brows, stroked our half dozen haired moustache
patronizingly, looked as knowing as a Con
gressman— in fact, we were delighted with each
other’s supposed flatness. The greatest confu
sion prevails on entering the City of He—only
one train of cars enters the place, and that comes
from Meadville, Pa.—the engine is turned
about, hitched on t’other end, and so is ready to
return; then comes the bedlam—no depot, only
mud knee deep to stand under; the greasyfrobes
o! the motley crowd are affectionately ref
against your clean duda, your hat pof
knocked off your whirling head just in time for
you to put your foremost'foot into it, sending it
further into the yielding soil. A sprightly gym-
nastic, anxious for a seat, flies over your head
cto the car window, not gently touching your
lose with the toe of his eavaliy boots, bawling
out all in the same breath, "keep your nose oat
ol the way, mister, I’s booked for a good seat.”
» zig-zag
parts of th* world. I believe there are * few del
egates coming here from the totber world ii they
can only get their pardons,”
“Well, Landlord,” said Speculator, “juat yon
take our carpet-bags while we take a stroll.”
“No, mister, I can’t watch your luggage; I
want tny eye* for my own busineae, and let me
tell yon, if you entertain the idea ot carrying
away your trapsjfrom ibis town, you most keep
all yo$’ ve got under ybor tring. The sharpers
here will steal yonr conscience before you know
70U have any.”
We sort 0’ liked old Davy Oil, and so made
him our friend and adviser; all our great hopes
aDd secret plans were unfolded to his oily ma
jesty. When he learned the amount of our capi
tal he treated us like snobs, declaring ns fools.
“Five hundred dollars,” said he, sneeringly,
“why you gumps, five thousand would sound
respectable, the best thing for you both is to
go home and get some bteadsiod milk.”
This last bit of advice cooled all our ambi
tion; we now took a view of the town, which
looked like one huge mud-puddle—planks here
and there, gambling tables right on the street,
pea-nut stands, apple stalls; a generatnraining
day look ; greasy fobe* "flying about, Some’
laughing and getting drank ovet prosperity in
ile; others swearing, pulling their petroleum
locks in despair, beggard bvspeculation. We
nudged.about returning t^oar Hotel tired and
chopfallen—asked for a light, and the number
of our room—an excuse fora candle was hand
ed to us.
“No. 3, gentlemen, is your room, at the top
of the stairs.”
A hop, skip and a jump landed me close to
the door, Speculator bringing op the rear.—
Here I opened wide the door, and spied thirty
soap-fat men sprawling on the floor.
Only these, and nothing more! Speculator
looked aghast, but was brought to his senses
by tho loud cry of one who appeared to be
fighting with ten or twelve to .retain some
thing. “Here, you snobs,” Mr. Landlord said,
'as how this institution of a fellow belonged to
yon, and I tried to keep it for ye,, but these
hounds were bound to steal the feathers, so
take the thing, now, you've come.”
The empty case lodged on speculator’s head,
while the v feathers went flying around the
room. We stole into our corner, crawled into
our high-top boots, and came to the conclu
sion that a good, legitimate business was much
better tliSn speculating. We returned home
wiser, if not better men.

Important Message from Gov, Ferry
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, )
State or South Carolina,
November 7, 1865. |
To the Honorable the Senate and House 0/
Representatives: - ,
Gentlemen : I had the honor of receiving
from the President of the United States the
following telegraphic dispatch on the 23th of
October last:
“Zb B. F. Perry, Provisional Governor :
“Your last two dispatches have been re
ceived, and t
ordered.
“I hope that yonr Legislature will hare no
hesitation in adopting the amendment to the
Constitution of the Untied States abolishing
slavery. It will set an example which will no
doubt he followed by the other States, and
place South Carolina in a most favorable at
titude before the nation. I trust in God that
it will be done. The nation and State will
then be left free and untrammeled to take that
course which sound policy, wisdom and^Jiu-
manity may suggest.
“(Signed) Andrew Johnson,
“President of the United States.”
Three days afterward I received the follow
ing telegram from the President, dated
Washington, Oct. 31.
To Benjamin F. Perry, Provisional Governor :
“There is a deep inrerest felt as to what coarse
the Legislature will take in regard to the adop
tion of the amendment to the Constitution of the
United States abolishing slavery, and the as
sumption of the debt created to aid in the rebel
lion against the Government of the United States.
If the action of the Conveniion was in good faith
why hesitate in making it a part of the Constitn-
tion of the United States Y 1 trust in God that
the restoration of the Union will not be defeated,
and ill that has so far been well done thrown
away. I still have faith that all Will come out
right yej. This opportunity ought to be under
stood and appreciated by the people ot the South
ern States. If I know my own heart, and every
passion which enters it, it is my desire to restore
the blessings of the Union, and tie up and heal
every bleeding wound which has been caused by
this fratricidal war. Let us be guided- by love
and wisdom from on high, and union and peace
will qnce mure reign throughout the land.”
(Signed) % ‘'Anpbbw Johnson.
To those telegraphic dispatches I replied that
the war debt of South Carolina was very incon.
siderable; that onr whole St ite debt at this time
was only about six millions of dollars; that this
was mostly incurred anterior to tjie war la con
structing railroads, and building a new State*
house, with an old debt of long standing. That
we had assumed no portion of the Confederate
debt, and were responsible in no way for it. The
expenditures which the State bad incurred np to
a certain period had all been settled and refunded
by the Confederate State*
I stated that South Carolina had abolished
slavery in good faith, and never intended or
wished to renew it. That the Legislature- was
then considering a wise, juitand humane system
of laws for the government and protection of tfce
freedmen in a)l their rights of person and pro-
party, and that there was no objection to the
adoption of the proposed amendment to the Fed
eral Constitution, except an apprehension that
course 1-Congress might, under the second section of that
amendment, olaim the right to legislate for the
negro after slavery was abolished. I likewise
stated that no official notioe bad ever been re
ceived by the Legislature of the proposed
amendment to the Constitution of' the United
States.
In reply to this dispatch, I received yesterday
the following telegram froiff the Secretary of
State, dqted Washington, Nov. 6th:
14 To His Excellency B. F. Perry, Provisional
Governor r
“Your dispatch to the President, of Nov.

our aggravating appetites would not leave qs.
" e spied a fellow who looked civilized, thus
addressed him :
“My good man, can you direct us to a hotel?”

“The President considers the acceptance of

pensible to a restoration of her relations with

(Sighed) ' ‘*Wm. H. Seward.”
The formal notice of the proposed amend
ment to the Constitution of the United States
has not been received. When it is I will com-
municate the same to you. The amendment
may be seen in the acts of the last Congress,
and is in these words : - *
. ** Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude,
except as a punishment for Crime, whereof the
party shall have been duly convicted, shall ex
ist within the United States, or any place sub
ject to their jurisdiction. Sec. 2. Conqress
shall have power to enforce this article by appi-o-
priate leyis/ation.” [Approved Feb. 1, 1865.]
A few days since 1 addressed a communica
tion to Mr. Seward, Secretary of State, by
mail, in which I repeated and enlarged on the
views previously expressed to the President,
in reference to the objections which were en
tertained in Sonth Carolina to the proposed
constitutional amendment. I am happy to
find that the Secretary of State does not re
gard these objections as well founded, bat con
siders them “querulous and unreasonable.” It
is true that a plain, honest construction of the
language of the amendment would be that
■slavery was abolished in the United States,
and that Congress'should simply enforce it.—
-When this was done their legislation would be
ended. They could attempt, under the au
thority given by this amendment, to pass laws
for the government of the “freedmen” in their
free state. The Attorney General of the Uni
ted States and the President have both been
understood as concurring‘in this opinion. It
would, therefore, be well, in adopting the pro
posed amendment, to place on record the con
struction which had been given to it by the Ex
ecutive Department of the Federal Govern
ment.
It is manifest from the earnest, eloquent
and patriotic terms in which the President has
urged the adoption of this amendment, that he
regards, as he says, “all that South Carolina
has done, and well done, as thrown away,” un
less the amendment is accepted by the legis
lature.
The Secretary of State is still more explicit
in his language. He says: “The President
considers the acceptance of the Amendment by
South Carolina as indispensable to a restoration
of her relations with the other States of the
Union.” The reason why this exaction is made
of the Southern States, after they have abol
ished: slavery, is that they might otherwise, at
some future day, change their constitution,
and restore slavery in defiance of* the Federal
government. You, gentlemen, have at this
time the destiny of the Slate in your bands,
and 1 feel assured that you will act calmly and
dispassionately, with a view to the peace, hap
piness and well beiDg of South Carolina.
1 addressed a communication to the Secre
tary of the Treasury at Washington a few days
since, urging that in case the Legislature
should assume the payment of that portion of
the direct tax for which Soutli Carolina is lia
ble, that the Federal Government should re
ceive her bonds for the same, or suspend the
collection of the tax for the present year. 1
would advise the immediate assumption by the
State of her portion of the direct tax, which
is about $366,000. This will relieve the peo
ple from the immediate payment of it to the
Federal tax collectors, and enable the State to
make some arrangement, in reference to it
with the Treasury Department or Congress.
- In my communication to the Secretary of
State I urged the propriety of withdrawing the
colored troops from the interior of the State
to the forts on the sea coast, and requested that
white troops might, for the present, be retain
ed in Charleston, Georgetown and Beaufort-
I have forwarded the resolution you seut me
the other day, in reference to the schoolhouses
in Charleston, to General Howard, and asked
that they might be restored to the proper au
thorities. I made the same request in regard
to the’Military Hall in Charleston.

WADE HAMPTON’S LETTER.
To the People of South Carolina.
Expecting to leave the State in a few days, for
an uncertain period, I cannt do so without ex
pressing to my fellow-citizens my profound
sense of the honor paid tome by the vote given
to me in the recent election tor Governor. In
returning my thanks to them for the late spon-
taneous and extraordinary manifestation of their
kindness, itdfs due to them that I should stale the
reasons which induced me to decline to be a can
didate. In the firat place the Convention, which
gave the election of Governor to the people, had
with singular unanimity—though not in their
public capacity—requested the distinguished gen-
tiemao who has been elected to become a candid
ate for the office. This he consented to do,
though, doubtless, at great personal inconvenience I
and a heavy saorifice of his private interests.
Under these oiroumstaoces, I wns unwilling to do
anything that might cause a politic il contest in
the State, I thought that no good could arise
at home from'such a contest, whilst it might
do us infinite mischief abroad. The President
of the United States had exhibited not only
a strong disposition to protect the South from
the radicaliam of the North, but to reinstate us iit
our civil and political rights. I fe&red that my
election—by embarrassing him in bis I bors and
policy—might incidentally do harm to the State.
Superadded to these considerations of- a public
character, deterring me from appearing as a can
didate, there were others of a privata natu e no
less strong. My affairs, neglected for five years,,
imperatively demanded my personal attention.—
Had I believed that my election as Governor
could really benefit the itate or snb*erre any of
her true interests, no sacrifice of a private nature,
however great would, have deterred me from ac
cepting that or any other position to which she
migh have called me; bat regarding my nomina
tion only as a compliment from some of my
former comrades. I felt at liberty to deoline,
though deeply sensible of the honor paid to me
l(y tho nomlnation^and tho manner in which it
Was received throughout tho State These rea
sons, which I hope ynn wiii understand and ap
preciate; impelled me to withdraw my name
Having given the reasons fof the coarse I pur*
(ued, and expressed my thanks for yonr gene
rous confidence in me, I should, perhaps, close.
But the evidence you have, given of yonr kind*
ness to and confidence in me—evidence as unex
pected .as it is gratifying—authorises me, I trust
without presumption, to add a few words ofcoun-
sei. ■ . * '
For years it has been the boast of our State
that thers'was but one party within fier limits,—
Commendable and vital that state of affaire
Was during the war, it irscareely, if-at all; less
*0 no». Every association of tho past, every
duty of -the present, every hope of tho future,
hid* us stiff to stand “shoulder to shoulder.” The
work,before us demands all . the patriotism, all
the courage, -all the endurance of our whole poo*
pie. Let po party strife, no minor issues, no
party politics, divert us from tho great and pres
sing work of the hour—thatof reanimating, as
far as possible, our prostrate and blooding State,
and rehabitating her, as speedily %s may be, with
the forms, thejights, and the eaootity of govern
ment and bflafe. ■
That bark, which was launched a few years
ago amid such joyous aeohufiations, which was
freig>hted>Kh such precious hopes, and which
was wafted on by such earnest prayers, ha* s^f>
wed shipwreck It behtfoTe* uf a* win on, to
build of its broken timbers, as best we may,
raft, whenever We may hope to reaoh a haven ol
rest and safety. •
It may be that when the fo*mg of govern
ment are restored, and freedom Of speech al
lowed to us, your late Convention will be sub
jected to harsh criticism, and its action im
pugned. Should st^i, unhappily be the case,
remember that you, rae people of South Caro
lina, accepted this Convention as part and par-
c 1 of the terms of your surrender. The Presi
dent hid no shadow of authority, 1 admit,
under the Constitution of the United States, to
order a Convention of this or any other State;
but, as a conqueror, be had the right to offer,
if not to dictate terms. The terms offered by
him you have accepted, and yon are bound by
every dictate of honor and of manliness to
abide by them honestly, and to keep, in good
faith, the pledges you have given. I do not,
myself, concur fully in all the measures adopt
ed by the Convention, but I shall cheerfully
acquiesce in the action it took to carry ont
faithfully the terms agreed on, and I willingly
accord to it high praise for the manner in
which it discharged its arduous and unwelcome
labors. No similar body ever represented
more largely than it did the dignity, the learn
ing, the virtue and the patriotism of the State,
and I am,sure it was actuated by pure and high
motives.
Entertaining these views, I think that it is
our duty to sustain the action of the Conven
tion in recognizing the abolition of slavery, to
support the President of the United States so
long as he manifests a disposition to restore all
our rights as a sovereign State, and to give to
our newly elected Governor a cordial co-oper
ation in his grave and responsible duties.—
Above all, let us stand by our State—her re
cord is honorable, her cscntcheon untarnished.
Here is our country—the land of our nativity,
the home of our affection. Here all our hopee
should centre; here we have worshipped the
God of ourfethers; here, amid charred and
blackened ruins, arc the spots we once fondly
called our homes; and here we buried the
ashes of onr kindred. All these sacred ties
bind us to our State, and they are intensified
by her suffering and her desolation.
“ And, liko a child, when scaring sounds molest,
Clings close and closer to the mother’s breast;
So the loud torrent and the whirlwind’s roar
Bat hind us to our native land the more.”
•I trust that you will pardon me for thus ven
turing to oounsei you. Believe me, that it is in
no presumptuous feeling that 1 do so, hut solely
in an honest, sincere and humble hope of con
tributing my mite to the welfare and honor of
our State. What I have said has boen evoked by
your recent manifestations of kindness to me.—
This I shall cherish as one of the proudest recol
lections of my life, for it assures me of your be
lief that I have tried to do my duty. It only re
motes for me,.in bidding yon farewell, to say that
whenever ihe State needs my servioes, she has
only to command, and I shall obey.
I am, very respectfully and gratefully your
fellow citizen.

The FrigUt in Canada.
Cadada cannot sleep o' nights tor its fears. It
has lost its appetite for dinner, too, and no longer
takes pleasure in abusing the Yankees. It takes
no pleasure in anything, and is even disgusted
wiih her Majesty’s government. On one band it
tears the Fenians—those awful Irishmen, more
than a million strong—whom it expects to come
every night and seize the country. It has
guarded us arsenals against these fellows for
some time ; and now, as Will be seen by our des
patches, it has determined to put volunteers on
active service to guard against them in a more
extensive way. And then it has awful fears of
financial ruin when it considers what this will
cos'. A^ain, it fears the French—those original
Canadians, who have not yet got nsed to English
rule, and stand leady to hurrah for the Fenians
at any moment. Another terrible fear has just
been conjured np by the perusal of the Bussell--
Adams correspondence. Perhaps the United
States, they say, would be worse than the
Fenians even; and so they expect immediate war
between this country and Great Britain, and for
the first blow to come slap dash at Canada. They
have already made up their mtDds to surrender
at discretion. We cannot actually reassure them
all this will come in good time, but it will not
come now. We have abundant-cause of qnarrel
against England. We have the* evidence that
her government was directly concerned in the
rebel piracies and the government ol England
refuses to settle the difficulty. We, therefore,
can leave it in abeyance. We have other matters
to attend to at present; bntat the first practicable
moment we will reopen all this, and then Canada
may look out. She has run up a large score
against her on this side the border, and it will
all be paid. We will give her good notice when
the day of settlement comes.—A'. Y. Herald, 14th.
Rewards for trie Conviction of Coun
terfeiter*.
The Washington Star says; “ It is under
stood that the Solicitor of the Treasury has is
sued instructions as to rewards which shall be
given to persons who may aid in deotecting,
arresting or convicting counterfeiters of United
States notes or bonds. The most accomplished
counterfeiters in the world are engaged in imi
tating our national currency. The Depart
ment, vre believe, is taking comprehensive
measures to baffle the work of these ingenious
rascals, as the emergency certainly requires.”
A summary of the law in regard to counter
feiting, printed on the back of every national
currency note,, is as follows :
44 Counterfeiting or altering this note, or
passing any counterfeit or alteration of it, hav
ing in possession any false or counterfeit plate
or impression of it, or any paper made in inti
tation of the paper on which it is printed, is
felony, and is punishable by one thousand do!
lars fine or fifteen years imprisonment at .hard
labor, or both.
An Impertant Decision—Confederate
1 Money Hecorniaed
The Lebanon Trim. Register say* : “-A* the
October Term of the Circuit Court for Cuuuoii
county, 1865, a suit was tried which was pre
dicated upon a promissory note payable in Con
federate money, due in Nov., 1863.
“Judge Cooper held, that in as much as the
United States had acknowledged the Confederate
States as a belligerent power, that a contract
payable-in Confederate money, made iq« locality
that was in,the military occupation of the Con
federates, would be valid and binding upon the
parties, and that the plaintiff would be entitled
to recover whatever the proof showed ths Con
federate money to be worth at the time the note
fell due.”
