The Columbia Meeting. The Republican papers of the North appear to be astonished at the result of the late meeting in Columbia, South Carolina, in which Gen. Wade Hampton, Hon. Wm. F. DeSaussure, Hon. Wm. Tallev, Edward Arthur, and Jamea Gibbs, all eminent " representative men” of the South, addressed an as semblage of freedmen, and gave them kind and manly counsel. This expres sion ol surprise betrnys the total igno rance which exists at the North, con cerning the spirit of our people toward this new element of citizenship. All good citizens all over the South, en tertain precisely the same kind feelings for the colored people, that were ex hibited by these eminent Carolinians, and it is unfortunate that these senti. ments are not more widely manifested in meetings for public counsel with them. This tardiness results chiefly from the feeling that those who mingle in such meetings may be subject to the charge of seeking negro votes ; ami hence, most of the wordy pretensions of regard for this class come from those shameless adventurers and political mountebanks, who have failed, North and South, to succeed among their own race and color, and now seek to rise by arraying the blacks against their true friends. The colored people may for a time be duped by these shallow imposters and humbugs, hut they will surely find that their true interest lies in cooperating with their old masters, rather than in organizing parties to op. pose them. The “ representative men ” in every community should be prompt and earnest in signifying their wish to cooperate with the colored people in the administration of the laws, and the preservation of harmony and goodwill. To this end we deem ik our duty to urge that in every community, public meetings be held, in which the two races may take friendly counsel together. Such meetings will be of incalculable benefit to all classes, in the promotion of a right understanding between the whites and blacks, and will soon convince the people of the North that they have totally misapprehended the spirit and character of the Southern people. Where is Governor Jenkins. —We have the prol'onndest respect for the ability and character of our distinguished Chief Magistrate, and therefore trust that we feel all proper deference for his views as to the policy and duly of the State in the present crisis. We there fore cheerfully yielded our own convic tions as to the necessity for prompt action, and acquiesced in what seemed n general willingness to await the result of bis interview with the authorities at Washington, before seeking a genera] expression of the popular will. The friends of prompt action, have waited impatiently ior some utterance from him which would throw light upon the path of duty, which all desire to pursue. Nearly a month has elapsed, and not a word has been given to the public; indeed we know not that a word has been received relative to the results of his mission. It might appear im pertinent to ask where the Governor is, but it would be giving expression to a very general eagerness to know what has become of him. We all know his distaste for mere politicians, and any solicitude that he has got “ lost” in their wiry ways is possibly misplaced ; but his whereabouts is a matter of general concern. If the question is asked—what Georgia proposes to do ? the answer is—let us wait until we hear from Governor Jenkins. If it is asked whether the negroes will vote at the next Charter election, the answer is— Gor. Jenkins will know, when we hear from him. If it is suggested to call a meeting to counsel with the colored peo pie about their new privileges, we are admonished that we had better wait until the Governor returns. And so the wheels of action are clogged, and like a ship without rudder or pilot in the roughest kind of weather, the crew are alarmed, and the passengers are getting sea sick. In their distressed and dis. gruntled condition, their eagerness to hear from t£e Captain is hut a natural instinct of self preservation. Virginia and North Carolina are moving ; it is stated that the Legislature of South Carolina is about to b« called together; the Governor of Alabama lias written an earnest and manly lette r of counsel —Where is Gov. Jenkins? A lm.t, to place negro testimony on the same footing as white citizens, was defeated in the Maryland House on the 18th. It wns thought it would he re considered and passed. Letter from the Governor of Ala bama. Governor Patton, of Alabama, hae written a letter, datad the l»th, In re sponse to a request for his views Irom a number of leading dlisetta, as to the best policy to be pureued by the State, in reference to the late actiou of Con gress. His letter contains timely and sensible suggestions, and they are in such accordance with the views we have ventured to urge, that we cheerfully transfer it to oor columns : Alter referring to the provisions ot the Military bill, which we deem it un necessary to reproduce, he says ; At the time I write, a bill is pending in Congress, supplemental to the Act above referred to. I cannot, of course, tell what will be the precise features of the bill when it passes. But it may be safely assumed that the bill will become a law, and that it will provide effectu ally for carrying the existing Act into full effect. Hence the question now presents itself, what are the people ot Alabama to do? This is a practical question, and one ot vast magnitude. It involves everything pertaining to the future of Alabama. Surely it cannot be the wish of any reflecting man that the present anomu lous condition of the State should be continued. It may almost he said that we are neither in the Union nor out of it. The authority of the United States Goverument is fully exercised over us, and yet we have no voice in the enact ment of National laws, or in providing for their execution. This is a lamenta ble condition for any people to be placed in. There is but one way for us to escape from it; and that is to have the State fully restored to the National Union with all the rights and immu nities of a coequal member thereof. It may be taken for granted that, nt no distant day, the military command ant will take the proper steps to have delegates elected to a convention to revise the Constitution of the State. The Law of Congress imperatively requires that this modified Constitution shall extend the elective franchise to all males 41 twenty one years old, and upwards, of whatever race, color, or previous condition.” In other words, the freedmen ns well aa the whites, are to be allowed to vote. This is a plain specific, and unconditional exaction. It cannot be evaded. But this is the only feature which is prescribed as a c-mdition precedent to the approval of Congress. Unrestricted discretion is ullowed in regard to everything else. The requirement of this act of Con gress should ba accepted as conclusive upon the question ot negro suffrage. 'To contend against it now is simply to straggle against the inevitable. Such a struggle would be utterly hopeless, and coaid accomplish no good to any one. ' After enumerating the classes ex cluded from voting, under the Sherman bill, he says: All who will be entitled to vote should unhesitatingly exercise that privilege, and those who are disfranchised, should uso their influence for the accomplish ment of all possible good. Let it not be supposed that they can do nothing because they are unable to vote. The Ircediuen are now to vote for the first time. We should cherish against them no ill feeling, '■'he elective franchise is conferred upon them ; let them exercise it freely and in their own way. No effort should be made to control their votes, except such as may tend to enable them to vote intelligently, and such as may be necessary to protect them against mischievous influences to which, from their want of intelligence, they may possibly be subjected. Above all things we should discourage everything which may tend to generate antagonism between white and colored voters. This is an important crisis for us nil. We require prudence and moderation, coupled with decision and firmness. 1 have every confidence that these ster ling qualities will be so exercised by our people as that we will soon have, so far as Alabama is concerned, a definite and effective settlement of the great question of reconstruction. With h constitution recognized by the National Legislature, our State would be relieved from the uncertainties and embarrass ments which now hang over us, and which will continue to hang over us until we are restored to harmonious re lations with the National Union. The Governor then refers to the de plorable consequences resulting from our refusal to yield to previous Con gressional requirements, and urges that the State thould no longer be left in an attitude ot hostility to the law making power. Such hostility he maintains but entails increased exactions upon us. He then says: I am decidedly of the opinion that it is our true interest to have the State placed in its proper position in the National Union as early as practicable. In view of all that has transpired in the last twelve or eighteen months it is utter folly to expect that this can be done on any terms more favorable than those embraced in the present Act. 1 think that by proper concessions, better terms might have been secured hereto fore; but it is now too late. If we fail to reorgunize the State in accordance with the requirements of this Act, we may, and I think will, be subjected to more onerous exactions. lienee, I think that this reorganization should be perfected just as soon as an opportunity tor doing so is presented. Until this is done the supreme au thority will be the military ; and, in the meantime, the civil authority may be permitted as a provisional government. 1 have every reason for believing that this civil authority will not be materially interfered with, and the States have only to discharge their duties faithfully and impartially. The law makes it the duty of the district commander to sec that strict and impartial justice is adminis tered to persons of all classes ami con ditions. If this be done by the civi! and judicial officers of the State, the requirements ot the law, in this regard, will be fully complied with ; and 1 have no doubt that the military au thorities would greatly prefer that no occasion should arise lor their direct in terposition for the enforcement of the law. . Having written this much in reference to our political condition and prospects, I hope to be excused for appealing to our people to apply themselves with renewed energy to their respective pur suits. Let there he no forebodings about the insecurity of property. Let them rest assured that they will reap all the fruits of their labor. It should be remembered that there is yet a vast amount of suffering in the State ;. and this naturally suggests the necessity of producing more grain, and less cotton. None of ns should yield to despondency ; but all should strive to rescue the State from its present material and political depression. Very Respectfully, R. M. Patton. Tan Associate n Press. — The Charles ton Mtrcury says that tho interests of the Southern Press deranijd 'that, the arrangements made by the Associated Preae fcr supplying telegraphic news, there shall be nn immediate and radical reform.

This article is being prepared by us at our place of business in this City, where we invite Planters and others interested to call and examine our stock, and witness tbe preparation of tbe above named MANURE. It is composed entirely of pure ancTunadulterated GUANOS (of which 25 per cent of the whole mixture is warranted to be pure No. 1 Peruvian Guano), and we warrant each and every package of it to contain the exact ingredients and same proportions as the sample analyzed by Prof. Shepard, whose analysis and report we annex, as follows : Charleston, S. C., February 16th, 1867. Meters. Wilcox , Gibbs & Cos. : Gentlemen: The following is my analysis and report upon the sample you hate placed in my hands, of Wilcox, Gibbs & Co.’s Manipulated Guano : nygromctric water I8 60 Combined water and organic matter rich in anmioniacal salts 18.00 Phosphate of lime .’ 44.50 C rbonato of lime 1.80 Insoluble silidous' matter, with considerable traces of per oxide of iron 15.80 Chloride of sodium, sulphates of ammonia, lime, and soda, with loss 1.30 100.00 The present sample shows a very advantageous mixture. It has enough of Peruvian Guano (say 25 per cent.) for any soil or crop ; while the groat bulk of the preparation is obviously an unadulterated natural Guano, rich in organic matter, with considerable already formed Ammonia (and the material 'for its continued production as required by the crop), together with 44.50 per cent, of Phosphate of Lime, nearly two percent, of which is in a solublo state. If kept up to the standard of this sample, there is no hazard in predicting tbat lauds treated with 250 or 300 pounds of it to the acre, will be placed in an effective condition for any crop. Very respectfully, yours, CHARLES UPHAM SHEPARD. Knowing the composition, as well as judging from the analysis and report of Prof. Shepard, w r e are confident it will prove to be an ex&el ent MANURE, and pay any Planter handsomely who uses it judiciously. We would recommend the use of 175 to 200 pounds per acre for Cotton or Corn ; 250 to 300 pounds for Wheat, aud that it be applied the same as other Guanos—under the bed for Cotton, in tbe bill lor Corn, and broadcast lor Wheat. This Guano is ready for use, all the lumps having been thoroughly ground, and the whole passed through a scive before packing, and it is a very handsome article in appearance and condition. It is packed in barrels ot about 300 pounds, and bags of 200 pounds, aud the price will be uniform, as follows : $65 per Ton of 2,000 pounds, Cash. Our Agents will sell at the same price, with necessary expenses added. We are now prepared to deliver this Guano in quantities to suit, and solicit orders for the same, which will be promptly filled. We will also keep, both here aud in Savannah, a good supply of Pure No. 1 PERUVIAN GUANO, which will be sold at the market price; also, Pure No. 1 PHOENIX GUANO, at $55 per Ton of 2,000 pounds, in Savannah, or S6O here—Cash.
