Agriculture recovers very slowly from its
prostration, nor can we expect a different
state of tilings until the relation between the
white and colored races has become more
stable and the results more certain of free
labor. The efforts of planters, in the mean
time, must continue desultory and a matter
of uncertain calculation. There can be no
regular income, while the outlays will be un
certain, from the fluctuating price and ir
regular returns of labor. The fate of what
is called the low-country planter, merits
sympathy. Living-, as they have been, al
most in a style of princely hospitality on
their ample domains, surrounded with afflu
ence, generally with cultivated tastes and re
fined manners—the low-country planter was
an example of courtesy, unaffected and with
out pretension. There was a species of
patriarchal relation in the mode of life when
surrounded by his household slaves, in that
reciprocity of protection and obedience that
exists between master and servant, when the
child of the former becomes the playmate
and companion of the latter, mingling their
pastimes, and when sickness and old age re
quired that attention which are due to'im-
becility and infirmity. In reality, we know
not in the wholo circle of the affections a
more interesting spectacle than those family
servants who have grown grey in the service
of a long line of ancestry, who have been
reared in the bosom of families and have
descended to their graves with their masters.
To the low-country planter Charleston was
indebted for much of its gaiety, and the lib
eral expenditure that fed the streams of in
dustry and currents of business. He, in fact,
imparted a tone of refinement to this section
of the State. Many of them being men of
leisure and education, visited Charleston dur
ing the summer months and had their
charming residences in the suburbs or on
Sullivan’s Island. The pervading spirit of
Charleston society was therefore that of re
fined intercourse. There was a geniality iu
this intercourse that rendered it highly at
tractive—the mercantile and planting classes
ware on the best terms. There was none of
that discordance of interest and opinion that
is found so frequently between the inhabi
tant of town and country. The Sea Island
and rice planter were often found at the ta
bles of the merchant and this hospitality
was reciprocated. Commerce became thus
blended with pursuits between which there
was uothiug uncongenial. There was uo
dissimilarity of interest. Tho’ hospitalities
never sit so gracefully as when dispensed by
the man of leisure, who embellishes his re"
treat by the social virtues—and by the liberal
culture of literature and the arts.
Those who can look back for a period of
fifty years, will find no difficulty in recalling
the names and presence of the Heywards,
the Manigaults, the Loundes, the Middle-
tons, the Hughers w^io came at every re
curring period of summer to transfer their
hospitality irom the banks of the Santee or
Wallaman, to the shores of the Cooper and
Ashley.
The loss of material Wealth—the wanton
destruction vn me goods Ot me can ue utmie;
they may be replaced, but what can restore
the ethereal principle which has produced
those works of art that have embellished our
galleries and adorned the walls of our dwell
ings? It will ever be a subject of poignant
regret that works of genius, in common with
the most ordinary objects of military cap
ture, fell a sacrifice to the wanton spirit of
ruthless war. That hostility against books
and pictures should have bsen carried on, in
an era of civilization, is without a parallel"
in history. Instances without number, have
occurred since the commencement of the
war, where the appeals ot taste no less than
the claims of humanity have been disre
garded.
The treasures of art have in modem times
followed the standard of the conqueror ; but
while the contents of galleries have been
deemed among the spoils of victory, these
treasures have remained among the objects
of future imitation and undying admiration.
When Napoleon Bonaparte rifled the galleries
of Italy and then- contents were transferred
to the Louvre, they were not mutilated o r
lost to the world—they remained among the
imperishable trophies of genuis—the memo
rials of its power; but the undistinguishing
fury of a blind rage makes no difference be
tween a Raphael or a Claude Lorraine and the
merest daub of art. All are involved in a
common destruction. It appeared as if the
licentious soldier sought those objects of
virtue on which he could vent his spirit of
diabolism. He held the rales of discipline in
no more regard than he did the precepts of
morality.
It has been said, in palliation of these ex
cesses that many of those raids that partook
so largely of the predatory practices of licen
tious warfare, were acts beyond control
atoidst the passions engendered by a civil
conflict. This is an inadequate plea in the
midst of the humanizing influences by which
we are surrounded. At all events the South
erner who has been reared amidst the refine
ments of civilization and has enjoyed the
solace afforded by liberal culture, has reason
to deplore that his lot has been cast in a pe
riod so devoid of all moral restraint.
The reverse of fortune which has visited
the planters of the low country of South
Carolina can scarcely find a parallel any
where. Suddenly cast down into the abyss
of poverty, the most painful contrasts are
presented. The owner of 200 to 500 slaves,
with a pripcely income, has not only to sub
mit to the most degraded employments, but
he frequently cannot obtain them. Ip some
instances he has to drive a cart or attend in
a retail grocery, while he may have to obey
the orders of an ignorant and coarse menial.
There is something unnatural in this reverse
cf position—something revolting to our sense
(Si propriety in this social degradation. The
only similarity to it must be sought in the
FATHER WHBLAS’l CLAIM FOR SER
VICES TO PRISONERS AT ANDER-
SONVILLE.
The following correspondence speaks for
itself, but in presenting it, the writer of tbia
introduction, who has had an opportnoity to
inform himself correctly, desires to testify
personally to the noble conduct of Father
Whelan towards the Federal prisoners at
Audersonville. In conversation with a score
or more of intelligent men who were con
fined theie, we have heard only the most
positive declarations of gratitude towards
tbis generous philanthropist, and his charac
ter for integrity is so thoroughly attested
that we sincerely hope the XT. S. Govern
ment, in view of his utter and unavoidable
inability to procure the vouchers required
will make an exception in his case to their
strict rules in regard to claims, and reward
Father Whelan's magoamity by payiDg h!s
just dues without any farther circumlocution
or annoyance. Below is the correspon
dence :
Washington Department, )
Apjdtant General’s Office, >
Washington, Oct. 19, 1865. )
Rev. Peter Whelan, Washington, D. C.:
Si* i—I have the honor to inform you that
the Secretary of War requires that your ac
count for mooey expended for the relief of
prisoners at Andersonville, Ga., be sworn to
before being paid—as there is no other evi
dence ot the correctness of the amount nor
any statement of the account. You are re
quested to make an account in form and attest
it.
I am, sir, very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
E. D. TOWNSEND,
Assistant Adjutant General.
Macon, Ga., May 21, 1866.
E. D- Townsend. Assistant Adjutant Gen
eral, Washington, D. C.:
Sir—I received the above dispatch about
the end of last February. I would have an
swered it sooner, but illness prevented me.
propose to answer you through the press, and
lay the matter before the public.
About a year ago I wrote to the Secretary
of War, the Hon. Mr. Stanton, soliciting him
to refund me four hundred dollars and enable
me to pay Mr. Heury Horne, of Macon,
Georgia, who then stood in great need of the
money I borrowed of him tor the use and
benefit of Federal prisoners at Andersonville,
Georgia. I was then, as now, under the im
pression that, as a public fact, be must have
known iny connection, as a Catholic Priest,
with the Federal prisoners at Andersonville.
In my letter to the Hon. Mr. Stanton it was
stated that I borrowed of Mr. Henry Horne,
of Macon, Georgia, sixteen thousand dollars
in Confederate money to aid the Federal pris
oners at Andersonville, many of whom, un
der God, owe to me the preservation of their
lives. Far this sum I passed my note to Mr.
Horne for four hundred dollars, payable in
gold. It was borrowed for the specie! benefit
of the sick and dying at Andersf/aville. A
?ood God has enabled me to pay Mr. Horne,
jut not through the generosity of the Hod.
Mr. Siaoton, Secretary of War.
On the 10th of last March I was taken
down with a severe attack of conjestion of
the luogs, contracted at Andersonville. Be
ing partially relieved, my physicians advised
a change of climate to regain health and
strength. Having no funds to go North, my
friends in Savannah furnished them; but pre
ferring Jjustice and honesty to health and
strength, I bought gold, and thus was ena
bled, through my friends, to pay Mr. Horne.
Sir, I write in truth and justice when I state
that the Catholic Priests were the true friAds
of prisoners of war, North and South. The
Federal prisoners at Macon and Anderson
ville were attended only by Catholic Priests.
Father Hamilton attended chiefly the Fed
eral officers confined at Macon, be being sta-
USRK& tbm.~mUl-.lU9 congregation. I at-
weeks, by Father Kirby, of Augusta, Gsor-
;ia. Father Clavreul,“of Savannah, and a
esuit Priest of SpriDghill College, near Mo
bile. I gave the prisoners my time and la
bor during the months of June, July, Au
gust and September of 1864. I gave Ahem
all the money I had ot my own, besides the
flour bought with the money borrowed of
Mr. Horne. My duties as a Catholic Priest
brought me daily, for these months, in close
contact with the sick and dying, when I had
to inhale effluvium for hours on hours, and
be covered, as with a coat, with vermin. I
seek no remuneration. It was only justice
to Mr. Horne, as I was not able to pay him
when I wrote, that could induce me to so
licit Mr. Stanton to refund the four hundred
dollars.
No amount of salary conld induce me to
stay at Andersonville for one week and attend
the sick and dying. No, sir, not all the gold
and paper money in the Treasury at Wash
ington. My motive was not money; it was to
allay misery, and gain souls to God. I
am satisfied that I am much, much farther
above Mr. Stanton in kindness of heart; than
he is above me in office of State.
Your dispatch indicates that sworn vouchers
and hills of the purchased flour are required
before the money given in aid of the prison
ers can be refunded. AU I say, let Mr. Stan
ton keep it I have not the health, nor
strength, nor money to run over Georgia to
hunt up vouchers and bills of purchase. It
might do very well to require such of a
money-hunting army chaplain, a commissary
man or quarter-master. I am none of these;
but the Catholic Priest who gave his time,
labor, money, and health for the good of the
Federal prisoners at Andersonville, without
hope of earthly remuneration. If Mr. Stan
ton possessed one particle of gratitude, he
would have refunded the four hundred dol
lars when solicited, and in consideration of
my services to the prisoners. So the world
goes. Some worthless spy or detective is
honored and rewarded, whilst the Catholic
Priest, the true benefactor of the prisoners, is
ignored, and perhaps cast off as if he were a
noted swindler.
Did I solicit the President or General Grant,
I have no doubt but that either of them
would have refunded. Fool like, I knocked
at the wrong door when I aolicited Mr. Stan
ton. Did I appeal to the surviving prisoners
of Andersonville, or to the Federal officers
who were prisoners at Macon, I would have
gotten ten times the sum of four hundred
dollars.
Had men iu authority the pity and mercy
that I had and have for prisoners of war,
their parole and exchange would have gone
on and not stopped, ana as a consequence,
the many thousands of them who fell tlie-
victims of prison life, and are now sleepii
the sleep of death in their graves. North ai
South, would be living and enjoying the
leasing society of their family and friends.
hey are dead, upon whom is their blood ?
I have the honor to be, sir,
Yours respectfully, in Christ,
Petes Whelan,
Catholic Priest of Savannah, Ga.
