Some of • lie mildest and meanest of the Y ink ■ iv- ■ .wi re gathered together there, and their mo- I i v s were as difT'-rcnt as their faces. Hundred 1 went to the meeting with their In-arts swelling with the purest and noblest imp :! An i mint of the suffering in the Smilh had re bed i licit oars, and an earnest d<-.- iiv seized them to relieve it, because of its origin. They knew who burned our cities, deviated our la-lds, op pressed, robbed an 1 slew" our people. They felt before God and man that they w< re rcqion- i 1 ilc for the wreck, ruin and sullering in the South, and to give a few dollars to feed the hungry would he discharging hut a small por tion of ^icir indebtedness, other• went there, however, to avail tin insclve& <T the opportu nity to exult over our misfortunes, woun t our pride and open a way for our future degrada tion. See what treason has hrouglit upon you. says (.no. “ 1 am glad that the Smith suiters 1 hiii glad she js hungry 1 am glad she is cold,” says Beecher. Ah! you wicked traitors, ee what a people we arc - , we do more than (lie Pharisees did, and now we pea s you will cxchum, great is the Yankee and he is the l/ml’s saint, and surely you hungry, shivering ones of the South will alter this get down in the dust and worship us, and lick the dust from our feet, take the negro to yom bosoms and humbly and tremblingly obey the behests of the Radicals of the North. Gentlemen, excuse us if you please. It is true we arc hungry and suffer, but a morsel of bread is not worth our honor ; and the sleep ing ashes of the heroes who starved' in your prisons rather than dolour bidding, would be ever in mind and make the bread thus pur chased more hitter than the waters of Marah. If the Christian people of the North wish to^ relieve Southern destitution, they should do it in the spirit of their Master; for it is wicked, cruel and ungenerous to seek humiliating terms from a hungry people. If their comings to gether arc used as occasions to charge us with treason—wit-li being the authors of our own sufferings, and in duty bound to receive their contributions at the cost of our honor, we say meet no more, for Heaven would frown upon you for offering relief, and upon us for accept ing it, upon such terms. fig'Tho newspapers in many quarters have so continually harpTd about Dennett and Gree ley—the Herald and Tribune- that they have educated their readers and almost themselves into the belief that everything wiltyand worth reading can be found only in the columns of these papers. The consequences arc disastrous to Southern publishers, and injurious to. all who are induced to read these filthy sheets.— Greely and Dennett are mortals, and do not write ouc-tenth of the editorials iTiat appear in these journals, while the morals and polities of these metropolitan newspapers are of the worst possible character. For the sake ot themselves and their readers let us hope that Southern journalists will cease harping about those vile enemies of the South and their vile publica tions. The opinions to-day of these weather cocks are not their opinions to-morrow, it is of very little consequence wliat they say now, for they will advocate something different in their next issue, and every dollar sent them is that much gone from us / and lends our encouragement to those undeserving it.

The reader is referred to another column for the new plan. Ark Thkt to Blame ?—The troubles with the negroes on the $ea Islands are noj sources of surprise. When Gen. Sherman captured Sa vannah, lie gave the negroes possessory titles to tin so lands, and the darkies cannot now sec- why it is if General Sherman eouid give them their masters’ lands for two or three years, he could not give them the same lands for a lon ger period. Ibis is a hard nut to crack, and is calculated to puzzle the minds of even \\d :ie men. Bradley is made the scape--, at, and the Mood that lias been shed is laid at l.isdior; but wo are iu-t sure that even3x\ly will luok at it in that ligiit. The BouiiKin pe- pie have long known that if you do not wish children and negroes ffo do wrong, you n.itst- net set them an example. If they see } • u. their parent and master, steal, they, especially the negroes, " iil not lie slow to do likewise-. Communicated, White Seivantr,. Mr. F.ruTon: T am aware that this is a sub ject in which the Southern- people have hith erto felt but little concern : but since it lias become evident that the negro, in his present stater, cannot in every'instance be made avail able as a servant, it is beginning to awaken some interest, especially am-those of our citizens who, having been ne- r.str-med . 11 I heir lives to Vicing we-ited <-n by se; v nits, think it a hardship to tje deprived of them. Such per sons very naturally turn, in the .-d-s m • of tin- negro. to their poor white neighbors in search of individuals to do their diueigeiy. 1^,have noticed, during the past- few months, several attempts to procure white girls and women-to act in the capacity of domestics. Res: table females, who lsave been r hr -d to vent la the operation of the war ami i-t in-r mi-i. ilmies, have thus been sought out, taken from their huts of privation gnd misery mid trapsfi'rr d to families able to furnish them plenty to cat and to make them otherwise comfortable. But, in almost every instance that has- come urn! -r my observation.* these females, after a sh -rt trial, have chosen to leave their r.-.-w hm • !’ plenty and return to tli-w. - i d->t:tuli--n end wretchedness l'n m which I'-ey had !.-ee;i tc.ken. Now, there is certainly a can-e fir this, which cansfe, 1 four, consists generally in im proper management on the pari (>f their on:- i rhyvers. I have conversed with s -me ( f ti - v 'unfortunate persons in relation t > their leaviri;; their new homes. They complain that th y are not treated ivs equals there, but as /off- —as so-)'.-7nts. This. I think, is wrong. T!:ey are persons of our own race—through tin ir ; veins • - s, perhaps,'as pur blood as flows through any of ours; m. 1 th ' their'ininds are uncultivated and thrir r - uers unrefined, yet some of them p-.- ess native mental powers which, if fortune lm-l favor--d tlu-m with early opportunities for improve ment, would probably have made them pud in intellect- to any in the country. Many o* them were once surrounded by all the eii-.l :ir- i,cents of pie sunt and comfortable, :!•■ • bumble, homes — were honored, love! a: 3 cherished by affectionate brothers and lath Now that misfortune has deprived them of those comforts, and that death has removed their natural .protectors and best friends, it must be painful, extremely paiufu! and nv::i- iylng to th ir iVelirgs to le treat-.-.i ;is m»e .,h. unwt rthy of free r.cctss to the s- ietj of respeetal-le white people.

I then pro- ce led to*the house, not being molested ; the name of the negro whom 1 shot was Robert Scott, who formerly belonged to Mr. Blake; in the e mrse c-f a3-out uu hour we hyav-.l negroes engaged in vein iving the body of Scott, and soon afterwards we heard the tramp of the sen tinel stationed on the branch near the house.— None of us went out oi the house after that, during the night, but we heard about twelve o’clock, the challenge of the boat with soldiers, under command of Sergeant Fletcher. SERGEANT FLETCHER S STATEMENT. On Tuesday evening hist, at 10 o’clock with four soldiers. I left Savannah for the “Rice H* ;«: ' Plantation, the headqdarters of Captain Brandt.

The night was dark, and we were unable to judge of their number, or wh.iher they were armed; I thought it advisable to land on Pennyworth Is land and wait unri! daylight.
