J 4 I. The proclamation of A. fi. Magrath, styling himself Governor, of So|th Carolina, dt®ed at Headquarters, Columbia. South Carolina, May 2d, 18C5, declaring that all sub sistence Btores and the property* of the Con federate States within the limits of the State should be turned over and accounted for by the Agents of the State, appointed for that purpose, and directing that the subsistence and other stores shall be used for the relief of the people of the State ; and the proclama tion of Joseph E. Brown, styling himselfGov-' ernor of Georgia, dated at the capitol of that State, on the 3d day of May, 1865, requiring the officers and members of the General As sembly to meet in extraordinary session at the Capitol in Milledgeville on Monday, the 22d day of May, 1865 ; and the proclamation of A. K. Allison, styling himself Acting Gov ernor of Florida, dated at Tallahassee, on the Bth day of April 18G5, giving notice and di rection that an election will be held on Wed nesday, the 7th day of June, 1865, for Gov ernor of the State of Florida ; are, each and all of them, declared null and void, it having become known to me, from trustworthy in formation, that the aforesaid A. G. Magrath, Joseph E. Brown, and A. K. Allison, are dis loyal to the United States, having committed sundry and divers acts of treason against the same, in adhering to their enemies, giving -hem aid and comfort. The persons and peoples, to whom the proclamations hereinabove referred to have been respectively addressed, are therefore enjoined and commanded to give no heed whatever thereto, or to any orders, procla mations, commissions, or commands, emana ting from persons claiming the right to exer cise the functions and authority of Governor in either ot the States of South Carolina, Georgia, or Florida, unless the same shall have been promulgated by the advice or consent of the United States authorities. 11. The policy and wishes of the general government towards the people of these States, and the method which should be pur sued by them in resuming or assuming the exercise of their political rights, will doubt less be made known at an early day. It is deemed sufficient, meanwhile, to an nounce that the people of the black race are free citizens of the United States, that it is the fixed intention of a wise and beneficent government to protect them in the enjoy ment of their freedom and the fruits of their industry, and that it is the manifest and binding duty of all citizens, whites as well as blacks, to make such arrangements and agreements among themselves, lor compen sated labor, as shall be mutually advan tageous to all parties. Neither idleness nor vagrancy will be tolerated, and the govern ment will not extend pecuniary aid to any persons, whether white or black, who are unwilling to help themselves. 111. District and Post Commanders throughout this Department will at once cause this order to be circulated far and wide, by special couriers or otherwise, and will take such steps to secure its enforcement as may by them be deemed necessary.

The author follows the description of some of those economists who have defined money to be “ any 2.:*y that ef fects exchanges ” of commodities. Tillß would exclude all idea of intrinsic value, the essen tial property of money. The writer quotes the authority, among others, of Tooke and Mill in support of this proposition. We are of opinion that if the opinions of these econ omists are scrutinized, it will be found ad verse to this definition ; but if it were other wise, the weight of authority is in fwor of the proposition that nothing is money that does not possess intrinsic value, although the functions of currency are not denied to those various representatives or substitutes for money consisting of bank notes, bills of ex change, bank checks, &c. Os this opinion is Chevelier, Wilson, Gamier, Huskisson and many others. • The remainder of this useful publication contains a VaTUty of the statistics of trade and commerce. FItOJI COLUMBIA, S. C. Arrest of Governor Magrath* His Address to the People of the State. [From the Charleston Courier 27th ult.] Lieut George C. Breck, Third New York Artillery, who was sent with a detachment of fifteen men on a mission to Columbia, S. C., arrived iu this city at seven o’clock Satur day evening with ex-Governor A.G.Magrath. The latter, on his arrival was immediately driven in a carriage from the rail road depot to the steamer Anna Maria, which soon after left for Hilton Head. The Governor on the route was in good spirits, and took his arrest as a matter of course. Lieut. Breck deserves the highest credit for the successful performance of his mission. On his first arrival in Columbia he took up his quarters in the College Campus, aud met with a very kind and hospitable reception from the citizens. From reports which he had received of a bitter feeling still existing iu the interior he had been led to expect, with his small guard, some demonstration of hos tility. He, however, kept on, and, reaching Columbia, delivered Gen.Gillmore’s despatch es to Governor Magrath s Secretary, the Gov ernor having left on a visit to his family at Spartanburg. A courier was despatched after him, but not returning, Lieutenant Breck, after wait ing a short time for an answer started on his return. Upon reaching Oiaugeburg he lound despatches from General Hatch, or dering him to return and arrest A. G. Ma grath. He immediately started back, and on his second arrival lound the Governor awaiting him, having already issued a proc lamation recalling his order in relation to the subsistence stores, and an address to the people of South Carolina, and indicating his authority as Fxecutive of the State. The Governor surrendered himself to Lieutenaut Breck without any exhibition of a desire to avoid arrest. We are indebted to Lieutenant Breck for copies of the Phoenix of the 24th and 25th instant, the latter containing the address to the people. The following is a copy : Executive Department, "» Coi.umaia, May 22, 1865. > To the People of South Carolina : I have this day received information of an order issued by Major-General Q. A. Gill more. I deem it proper, without delay, to present to you for your information, such portions thereof as affect me and concern you ; because they create for you a conflict with the forces of the United States, which can only be avoided by my forbearance to exercise the functions of the Executive De partment of the State. [Here follows General Gillmore"s order in relation to the rebel Governors of South Car olina, Georgia and Florida. ] . I cannot, under all the circumstances which surround you, expose you to the con sequences which will be produced because of any effort on my part—fruitless, if not mischievous, as it must be—to exercise those functions which you iu your confidence have committed to me. Nor am I willing that, without such consequences to you, while in the Executive Chair ©f the State, shall I be PRICE, 6 CENTS held forth to the world charged with crime’; without the most positive declaration, that I am ready to meet and repel it, wherever and by whomsoever made. In that peculiar condition of our affairs, which is now disclosed to you, I feel that my duty, whether considered in regard to my9eff as your Executive, or to you as a people whose welfare is dear to me, is at once plain aud imperative. I will not introduce within this State discord or contention. I will not allow myself to furnish the occasion by which a single atom of suffei ing can be added to that load which now weighs so heavily upon you. I will not give opportunity for conflict between the Government of this State and'the Government of the United States. The functions, therefore, of the Executive are suspended by me from this day. I nder other ciroumstaiic6s and at other times, I would pause iu doing that which I now do without hesitation:and with a perfect, conviction that it is due to you that it should be done, The exercise of the executive pow-. er in the proclamation of the 2d May, 1865, which was complained of, has been rectified and the proclamation recalled. Before my letter was received containing the explana tion of the circumstances which led to the proclamation, these orders have been issued; in which because of “trustworthy informa tion” ot “disloyalty” and “sundry and divers acts of treason,” the iunctions of the Gover nor of the State are suspended and his au thority denied. To exercise my functions in the face of these orders, is to invoke force to sustain me in opposition to that which will be displayed against me. Such a contest could have but one result while to those in the State who would give their support to the Executive, must come penalties and suf fering, without the possibility of advantage. Whatever, therefore, may be the feeling which belongs to me as a man or a citizen, in a case like this where conviction precedes the hearing, and sentence comes before the trial; I feel that it becomes me to be mindful of ihe considerations which involve your peace and affect your welfare. I have said to you before, 1 say to you now, the war sis over, hostilities have ceased: and it is your duty to forbear opposition which is hopeless —contest which is unavailing-—and reconcile to yourselves that submission which the Gov ernment of the United States can impose, and you cannot resist. While the considerations which I have now , expressed lead me to this forbearance in the exercise of the functions of the Executive Department of the State, I owe it to myself, to you, to the State, the Legislature of which, according to the Constitution of this State, elected me the Governor of the State, to make my jprotest against the power claimed and exercised by Gen. Gillmore. It involve* a question which concerns not alone this State, but all the States of the United Slates. It affirms a principle which it is not neces sary now for me to dWcuss. ** Whatever may be youi oohrtiflrm, rttfoViif ing resistance on yoiir part will hut make it - worse. With an earnestness"of the sincerity of which I need not give you assurance, t urge upon you the resitmptida of your peace ful pursuits, and the adaptation of yourselves to those changes which may be made in your condition. Do not he misled by excitement; g"ve no heed to passion; deal resolutely with cts; look the > truth calmly in the face; spill no more blood; accept with thedignity which even misfortune can command, the condition which you canuot avert. In thus suspending the active exercise of the duties ot my office, I do so with the most earnest wish that your sufferings may soon find mitigation and relief: that you may retrieve the waste and loss of prosperi ty which you have endured in the progress of the war, and that you may experience those blessings, intellectual, social and moral, which, under the favor of God, were the great ends which I desired to accom plish. To have succeeded in these would have secured to me a reward, the richest and only inheritance which I could have left to my children. Witli regard to myself, so far as I am af fected by the charges which are made against me, I am ready to answer to them or to any of them. At any time or place, when or where my presence may be de sired of required for investigation, I shall be, if notified thereof, with the least pos sible delay. Whatever I have said, I believe to be true; whatever I have doue, I believe to be right. And with this consciousnes of the rectitude of my purpose and of the in tegrity of my conduct, I shall not avoid, delay or hinder the closest scrutiny that can be devised. To you, among whom I was born ; to yofi, with whom my whole life has been spent; to you, whose confidence I have enjoyed; to you, whose testimony I feel I could well iu-. voke for my conduct, I have but to express the pain which this condition of the State has cost me, aud to wish you all the happi ness which a.people are ever permitted to enjoy. . , A. G. Magrath. The 25tlr Ohio regiment, Lieutenant Col. Ilaughton, arrived at Columbia Thursday evening. They are to constitute the perma nent post garrison of Columbia. The Phce nix, noticing the> arrival of these troops, says .• “With their arrival, we learn that Gov. Magrath has been notified that he is under arrest, on the charge of high treason, and that he will take his departure this day, via Charleston, for the city of Washington.” Still Later. We are indebted to Captain J. R Gillmore, of General Gillmore’s Staff, who has just ar rived from Columbia, for the Phoenix of tbe 26th and 27th instant. They contain nothing ot special interest. Hon. T. J. Goodwin had resigued his office as Mayor of the city of Columbia, and J. G. Gibbs, Esq., was elected to.fill bis place. The Phoenix of Friday, 26th inst., says: Governor Magrath was arrested and taken off in an ambulance, under the escort of a lieutenant and two soldiers, about 2 P. M. yesterday. . Jhe great body of the most res pectable citizens waited upon him during the morning, before his departure, expressing their sympathy and respect. That such an arrest should take place in the capital of South Carolina,.and in the case ot its Execu tive, should be conclusive _as to the complete moral and physical prostration of the ebuntry.
