The Savannah Daily Herald. TUESDAY, APRIL 18. 1865. I ROn Ol'B EVE.MXG EDITION OF YESTERDAY. TWO uuksse ncracs OF tbe freed- IE! IS CHARLESTON ON SATIRDAY. Speeches bv Hon. Hrorj Wilson, Wm. -Lloyd Garrison. Esq., Hob. Wm. P. Kelly, George Thompson, Esq., T.ieodere Tilton, Esq., Hon.. Joseph Ho He, Rev. Dr. Leavitt, and Judge Kellogg. PROCESSION OP COLORED CHILDREN OVER A MILE IN LENGTH. The ceremonies of raising tbe old flag at Sumter on Friday were followed the next day by events equally as memorable in Charleston. There was a tremendous out pouring of the Freedmeu of that city, two immense meetings beiug held at Zion’s Church and another at Citadel Square iu the open pair. It is estimated that at each of these meetings there were present iu the aggre gate over TGOo pefsons once held iu bondage, but now free. The wildest enthusiasm pre vailed. Not one present could restrain the j emotions experienced at the allusions made j by the speakers to tile downfall of the rebel- j lion, the flig, President Lincoln and his j emancipation proclamation, giving vent to such exclamations as “Bress uncle Abe," j &c., &c. The meeting at Zion’s Church was pre sided over by Major Delany, a colored officer of the U. S. Army, until he was called to fulfil the same functions at the Citadel Square meeting, when he was succeeded by James Redpath, Esq., Superintendent of Public Instruction. Hon. Henry Wilson, U. S. Senator from Massachusetts, was happily introduced to the audience amidst rouring cheers by Mr. Lloyd Garrison, Esq., of the same State, the emin ent anti-slavery champion, who took occa sion to speak of Mr. Wilson’s distinguished services for the past quarter of a century in the antigkvery cause, and of his humble origin, strong that the noble man who was about to address them sprang from humble origin being one of those “mud sills of so ciety” that Sou*hem chivalry took such de light to reprobate and malign. Mr. Wilson was formerly a mechanic, and had attained his present position solely by his own efforts. Those present were reminded that it was in their power to acquire position and reputa tion now that were free and gain as proud a distinction as any of their white friends. Mr. Wilson in commencing his remarks, stated that it was themoudcst day of his life to stand there on the of South Carolina, the home of the rebellion, on a platform with the great anti-slavery leader of the country William Lloyd Garrison and before the freed men of our country. For twenty-five years he had spoken against slavery, and against every man who had Standing hereon the soil of South Carolina he felt that the slave power he had fought so long was under his heel. You have no master now. You have no master but Almighty God. Slavery is written no longer on your foreheads. Abraham Lincoln is Presi dent of the United States, with twenty-five millions of freemen by his side and seven millions of bayonets behind him, has decreed that the men and women of South Carolina can never more be slaves. The men who have robbed your cradles, sold your children, separated husband and wife, sjpll do it no longer. Let them understand it. Here, to-day, I proclaim it. I want the proud and haughty chivalry that X have met so of tea in the United States Congress to hear it and understand it—that the black men and women of South Carolina are free, and mote too. He wanted them to walk proud and erect, with a consciousness that they were free, and had the bayonets of the government to back them. Mr. Wilson spoke of their loyalty to the government. During these four years of bloody war they had always been devoted to the old flag. They had never betrayed their country. You have guided the Union sol dier in his efforts to escape from rebel con trol, and afforded every protection in your power to extend him. You saw’ the old flag go down four years ago; yesterday you saw it go up. You know what the old flag means. It means liberty. You havfebeen patriotic. You have endured all. Trie long, dreary, chilly nights of slavery .have passed away forever, and the sun of liberty casts its bright beams on you to-day. The speaker then dwelt upon the great duty that was incumbent upon them. He wanted them to educate their children. They must be industrious. Freedom don't mean you mustn't work. Liberty means that you must be industrious, improving your condi tion and educating your children. Be kind and courteous to all, black and white Cringe and bow the knee to no man. Let those who brought aboyt thiß revolution un derstand this. Let the world know that you are fit for freedom. Mr. Wilson in closing dwelt upon the im portance and necessity of their preparing themselves for the future, to use the ballot, and asking them in the name of their friends in the country, to show their former masters that it was a sin against God, and a crime against them, to bold them in slavery. The honorable gentleman’s remarks, of | which we' Jiave given but a biief synopsis, were eloquent 1/ delivered, and listened to with the profoundest attention. He was fre quently interrupted with rapturous applause. When he Concluded, cheers were given for Gen. Saxton, Rev. Dr. Leavitt, Mr. Garrison, good old father Abraham, Bnd Hon. Wm. P. Kelley of Philadelphia. The latter gentle man was next introduced and spoke sub stantially as follow s: Mr. Kelley said that in answering the call, Pennsylvania was the first State to* abolish slavery within its own limits, but forgot its duty, through corrupt politicians, to betray its country through James Buchanan to sla v«y. But he would not refer to the past. God knows yon understand it too well. It is written in your hearts. We would turn to the hopeful future. lie was not here to flatter, though he might entertain them with a recital of their ! glowing deeds the past four years. Though you have no master, yet you have a Master in the Gieat Beiug of us all. Obey His laws. President Lincoln, tbe Moses of this nation, he is your master. Obey his laws. Labor is tbe lot of all, and your friends at the North appeal to you to-day to work with us; and we want you to do it in South Car olina. Work to make wages, and lay them up. Work on the plantation, in the work shop. Work so. that on Monday your work will be better than it was on Saturday. We white boys don’t care much about being born to poverty. We run a race with the young man born to riches. We try to beat him in the accumulation ol wealth. The humble individual who addresses you, after he was eleven years of age was forced to get his living and his education. He loved woman; there were many before him. His mother was a woman (laughter); so was his wife (renewed laughter). It was the duly of mothers and fathers to make home happy. See to it that the good man provides everything that is comfortable. See to it that the children are educated. Send them to the common schools, and when they are prepared and you get ready send them to the universities, which will be ready, to re ceive them. The speaker adverted incidentally to their gallantry at Wagner, Oluskee, and to the ad \ enture of Capt. Robert Small, who escaped with the steamer Planter. Now, that they were fellow-citizens, he spoke of an important duty. An effort will be made by such men as Vallandigham and Wood at the North to unite the Confederate debt, which amounts to thousands of mil lions, with the United States debt, embracing both debts in one. This must not be. Men must be sent to Congress to prevent it. See to it, therefore, that in your new State Con stitution man’s suffrage goes with his stature and nature. Impressing on them the necessity of labor he concluded his remarks. “Roll Jordan, Roll,’’and “Blow the Trum pet,” were then sung with thrilling effect. George Thompson, of England, was then felicitously introduced by Mr. Garrison, who gave a short account of his anti-slavery efforts in the liberation of the slaves of the West India Islands and of his labors as an advocate of universal negro emancipation, Which drew forth rounds of applause. Mr. Thompson remarked, in opening, that it was a great-day for him. You are joyful, so am I. Your cup is running over, so is mine. This is a jubilee, an occasion on which God, holy angels, in “the spirits of just men made perfect,” looks upon with ap proval. It is hard to think that lam in the cradle of secession and slavery, where yes terday you were things, to-day men and women. He was a co-laborer with Wilber force and Clarkson in the liberation of tbe slave, and with his beloved friend, Mr. Gar rison, who was the Wilberforce of America, he had been engaged for thirty years. The speaker spoke hopefully of their fu- lure. But while their bodies were free, their souls free, they must also be clothed with the privileges of citizenship. The right pf suffrage is one of the principles upon which this country rests. Look to it that you not only become your own owners, but that you have the right to exercise the prerogative of a citizen. Mr. Thompson's remarks were continued at some length; speaking .in his usual im passioned style, when he was followed by Theodore Tilton, *Esq., one of the editors of the New York Independent, in a speech of great elegance and power. During his re marks, Mr. Tilton, in answer to an inquiry made by him, proved that seven-eighths of the number present had been born slaves. Before the meeting dissolved a vote was taken, when it wa3 decided that a message be sent to the Anti-Slavery Society of Mas sachusetts of which Mr. Garrison is Presi dent, to hold their next annual convention in Charleston, on the Fourth day of July next, and that Wendell Phillips be invited to deliver the oration. Frederick Douglas, the colored orator at the North was also in vited to be present. The meeting at Citadel Square was ably and eloquently addressed by Hon. Henry Wilson, Hon. Joseph Hoxie, and Kev. Dr. Leavitt, of New York, and Judge Kellogg, of Michigan. During the afternoon a procession of col ored children, over half a mile in length, marching by twos, under the direction of Gen. Saxton, marched through the principal streets, singing, “John Brown's Soul is Marching On.” STEWS FROM WASHINGTON. Washington, Monday, April 9. AN IMPOHTAKT OKDER. An order has been issued from the Adju tant General’s otfice,ip/Washington, requiring all records of discontinued commands to be immediately forwarded to that office, where the expense of express transportation will be paid, and officers who come iu command of places captured from ffie enemy, who collect and forward auy papers left behind by the rebels, gwhich may be of public use or interest REBEL DESERTION'S. About 400 deserters who were brought to the city this afternoon from City Point, guarded by a detachment of colored troops, ihey will take tbe oath of allegiance to morrow and be sent wherever they may prefer. J J THE RE 'ASSEMBLING OP THE VIRGINIA LEGIS LATURE. The following extracts are from the Rich mond Whig, of Friday, forwarded bv your correspondent in the late rebel capital: An *. Q f° rma l meeting of the members of the Virginia Legislature remaining in the city was held in the Law Building, Franklin street, this morning, for tbe consideration of tbe proposition of President Lincoln to re assemble tbe Legislature for the purpose of authorizing a convention to take Virginia back into tbe Union. Tbe propositions of tbe President were laid before the meeting. A formal meeting was appointed to take place at 4 o’clock this afternoon, to which hour the meeting adjourned. Tbe Virginia Legislature adjourned on the 18th of March, to meet on tbe 29th of that month. They met on the 29th without a quorum. According to the constitution, they could under such circumstances adjourn from day to day This they did till Suuday last, the day of the evacuation, when they held a meeting in the evening and dispersed without resolution, some goiugoff with the Governor, and some leaving on a canal beat chartered for the purpose. According to law, the members now in the city are the only re maining legal representatives of the State of Virginia. It is important to state that the Legislature of 1865 is authorized by the constitution to call a convention for tbe purpose of settling and adjusting the basis of representation.— This question is settled, but a convention called for any purpose is omnipotent. UNION MEN RETURNING. A great many men whom the tyrannical rebel conscription has for three years driven from the face of day and forced* to hide and skulk like felons, assured by the presence of the Union forces and the Star Spangled Ban ner have ventured once more to show* them selves among their fellows. QUIET RESTORED. For the first time during the war, the city may truly be said to be quiet and life and property safe. Not a noise more uncouth than the Bound of military bands and army wagons disturbs the ear of day or night. The garroters and burglars that "infested the rebel capital have either knocked the dust of the city from their feet and followed the Confederate flag, or they have prudence enough to forego the practice of their ne farious arts. The Petersburgh Railroad is unbroken in both track and Ded, except in one or two places, ail the distance from that city to Richmond. Trains are now running on the road, and the welcome whistle of tbe loco motive is heard again, the wake of the Un ion army in things political, as well as things material. A strong force of laborers is to be at once set at work on tbe broken points of tbe Richmond, Fredericksburg, Aquia Creek and Potomac railioad, and its completion, which will occur within the next few weeks, will put Richmond in rail communication with the Capitol of the United States again. The iron bands, broken by the ruthless hand of war, welded again, will once more re unite a divided people in bands too strong to be put assunder. The Correspondence between Generals Grant and Lee. —We give below three other notes which passed between Grant and Lee in reference to the surrender of Lee’s army. The others we printed on Saturday last, and those, with the ones given to-day, form a brief history of the entire arrangement: GENERAL QBANT TO GENERAL LEE. General R. E. Lee, Comd’g C. S. A.: General : Your note of yesterday is re ceived. As I have no authority to treat on the subject of peace, the meeting proposed for ten a. m. to-day could lead to no good. I will state, however, General, that I am equally anxious for peace with yourself, and the whole North entertain the same feeling. The terms upon which peace can be had are well understood. By the South laying down their armß they will hasten that most desira ble event, save thousands of human lives,and hundrens of • millions of property not yet destroyed. Sincerely hoping that all our difficulties may be settled without the loss of anoth er life, I subscribe myself, Very respectfully, your obedient ser% U. S. Grant, Lieutenant-General U. 8. A. GENERAL LEE TO GENERAL GRANT. ' * April 9, 1865. General: I received your note of this morn ing on the picket line, whither I had Come to meet you and ascertain definitely what terms were embraced in your proposition of yes terday urlth reference to the surrender of this army. I now request an interview in accordance with the offer contained in your letter of yesterday for that purpose. Very respectfully, Your obedient servant, _ R. E. Lee, General. To Lieutenant General Grant, Commanding United States Armies. ° GEN, grant to gen. lee. _ , _ _ _ April 9. General R. E. Lee, Commanding Confederate States Armies: Your nose of this date is but this moment (11:50 a. ®.) received. In consequence of my having passed from the Richmond and Lynchburg road to the Farmville and Lynchburg road, I am at this writing about four miles west of Walter’s Church, and will push forward to the front for the purpose of meeting you. Notice sent to me on inis road where you wish the interview to take place will meet me. Very respectfully, Your obedient servant, U. 8. Grant, Lieutenant General. Secretary Seward.— We regret to learn that the accident to Mr. Sewara was quite as serious as was at first reported, and that his condition is still somewhat critical. His arm was broken near the shoulder-joint, and his lower jaw was also broken. He suffers a great deal of pain from both, and although the symptoms, in the judgment of his sur geon, are favorable, the critical point has not yet passed. At this important juncture in the affairs of the nation, the country will regret the loss of his judicious and natiotic counsels. — X. Y. limes, io th. Second Provost Court.— Owing to the illness of Judge Walton, at Hilton Head, no court was held this morning. Due notice will be given of the resumption of business. A fine, lightdraft steamer—the first of a line—will soon be here, to ply between this port, Savannah, Charleston and Beaufort, taking the inside route. The enterprise is an excellent one, and should pay well.— Port Royal New South. DIRECTORY.
