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. - -1-1 ltcy.
