THE rRISOIVER.
BY ORANDEZE.
Behold his frail and languid iorm,
Lying in prison walls !
Lo! see him now, while still the storm
Of vengeance on him fills.
His health, broken by storms of State,
Is now declining fast;
His mind, so pure, so wise and great,
la with shadows o’ercast.
He treads alone his dreary cell,
Gazing upon it’s gloom ;
Sighing, “ah! would it not be veil,
If I was in the tomb?”
But hark! a second thought springs up,
And stirs his noble soul;
And freely then he drinks the cup,
Bidding the moments roll.
•*’Tis for my country, bold and brave,
That I these evils share,
And should I then prefer the grave ?
No, I’ll with patience bear.”
“I will be to my fate resigned,
Wbate'er that fate may be ;
May none of those be like destined,
That placed their trust in me.”
Thns he, on the dark, dungeon floor,
In silence meditates;
No light steals through the iron door;
But dimly through the grates.
Then, oh ! how long—how long we pray,
Shall he imprisoned be ?
How long before the joyful day,
Will come when he’ll be free ?
’Tis said that soon his case they'll try
Before the judgment bar,
Charged with a crime of deepest dyo
Of Treason and the War!
But if. alas! this charge be true,
How many guilty are !
Thousands of us are traitors too ;
ITe “carried on the icar."
’Twas us that broke the union ties,
And fonght with desperation,
That we might win the glitt’ring prize,
And make ourselves a nation.
As captain of our ship of State,
With a united voice ;
To plan for us and to dictate ;
He was the nation's choice.
And shall he be condemned while we,
Who are as much to blame.
Escape and mingle with the free 1
Our lots should be the same.
Then oh! kind heaven, intervene;
Be thou, the prisoner’s friend ;
Amid the trying, thrilling scene,
Be there, and to defend.
Milledgeville, Ga , Nov. 16th, 1865
Fur the Union.
teacher* and teaching.
It is extremely difficult to define the
nature and qualifications of the teacher
required for the times. The ideal
view of his office is one of the grand
est and noblest that can enter the
mind. Hi§ is the highest of earthly
offices, occupying the chieftainship
among those intellectual and moral
forces that have the stability, welfare
and glory of society committed to
their protection and guidance. Edu
cation should not be regarded as
merely a valuable piece of machinery,
a cheap defence of nations, a silent, un
armed police, that preserves the order
and security of society; merely cre
ating an active, shrewd, intelligent
community, versed in the geography
of the country, sagacious of times and
seasons, potent in wielding the plastic
elements of worldly prosperity. If
man is to be regarded as merely an
intellectual animal, subject only to
civil government, it degrades the
teacher to the same level of selfish
ness, and he is made to handle brains
as others handle cotton and merchan
dize. In the purest and loftiest light
the teacher is set apart to accomplish
a task as vast as the nature of an
immortal soul, and as solemn as the
issues of eternity. Such teachers we
need to mould the crude elements of
our country, to fit us for the concep
tion and successful prosecution of our
lofty mission. A fine writer remarks :
“It is not mere scholarship that we
ought to seek at the hands of teachers.
No amount of communicated knowl
edge, skill and power in the use of the
intellectual faculties, brilliancy of de
veloped genius, on the part of his
pupils, Bhould satisfy the claims we
have on teachers. If they give us
cultivated intellect alone, even with
prudential habits and a conventional
virtue, they defraud us of the truest,
noblest part of their work.” So far
as that sort of culture goes, it is
worthy of just and generous appre
ciation. It doubtless meets the de
mands of society, satisfying the fac
tory, the counting room, the exchange.
Still this is not the real issue, which is
infinitely greater than the supply of
mercantile wants. Its office is not to
ftrnish shrewd intellects, ready ac
countants, safe engineers, but to give
ue mex. The position of the teacher
is in advance of the spirit and tastes
of society. The most 'practical of
men, he it an idealist whose imagin
ation pictures the possibilities of
progress ere they open to iqinds of
leu far-sightedness, a man of faith,
he interprets the phenomena of intel
lect by higher rules than logiG offers;!
a man of feeling, his spirit gives him
access to the hearts of others. The
habit of thinking for others, although
a strong social tie, tends to isolate
him from the common forms of inter
course, rendering him, in certain
aspects, the most solitary of beings.
The teaching mind is eminently sug
gestive. Freshness is its most prom
inent characteristic. No thought is
old, no image common-place, no ar
gument trite to its ever quickening
activity. The world is not a dead
thing to the eye and heart. Books,
nature, art, science, lives before it, and
how can a mind of this scope, a soul
of boundless sympathy with whatever
is beautiful and trustworthy, reduce
himself within the narrow limits of a
fictitious conventionalism, and live for
the poor award of the perishing hour?
Every genuine teacher is conscious of
a leadership in mind, not to be alien
ated at the caprice of fashion, the
whims of opinion. A man’s work in
this world leans on his work for the
other world. Reason needs religion
for its growth and discipline; hence
the vitiating featve in most of our
systems of* education is, not that the
earthly province of intellect is re
garded, but that it is almost exclusive
ly regarded. A teacher is thus de
graded into a mere machine. Man as
a moral agent—man as a subject of
Divine government—man as kindred
to angels, enlisting the sympathies of
perfect love, and created to enjoy the
companionship of perfect purity, is
committed to his hands. Truth must
have such a hold upon his reverence
To theso telegraphic dispatches I replied
that the war debt of South Carolina was
very inconsiderable; that our whole State
debt at tl\js time was only about 6,000.000
that this w'as mostly incurred anterior to
the war, in constructing railroads and
building a new State honse, with an old
debt of long standing; that w’e had as-
sumod no portion of the Confederate debt
and were responsible in no way for it.—
The expenditures which the State had in
curred up to a certein period had all been
settled and refunded by the Confederate
States.
I stated that South Carolina had abol
ished slavery in good faith, and never in
tended or wished to restore it; that tbo
Legislature was then considering a wise,
just 8nd humane system of laws for the
government and protection of the freed-
men, in all their rights of person and
property ; and that there was no objection
to the adoption of the proposed amend
ment to the Federal Constitution, except
an apprehension that Congress might, un
der the second section of that amendment,
claim the right to legislate for the negro
after slavery was abolished. I likewise
stated that no official notice had ever beeu
received by the Legislature, of the pro
posed amendment to the Constitution of
the United States.
In reply to this dispatch, I received the
following telegram from the Secretary of
State, dated
Washington, Nov. 6, 1865.
To His Excellency B. F. Ferry, Provision
al Governor of South Carolina :
Your dispatch to the President, of No
vember 4th, has been received. He is not-
entirely satisfied with the explanation it
contains. He deems necessaiy the pas
sage of adequate ordinances declaring all
insurrectionary proceedings in the State
unlawful and void ah initio. -
Neither the Constitution nor by-laws
direct official information to the States of
amendments to the Constitution submitted
by Congress. Notice of the amendment,
Message of Gov. Perry.
Executive Department,
South Carolina, Nov. 7, 1S65.
To the Honorable the Senate and Honse of
Representatives :
Gentlemen :—I had the honor of receiv
ingfrom the President of the United States
the following telegraphic dispatch, on the
28th of October last.
To B. F. Perry, Provisional Governor:
Y'otir last two dispatches have been re
ceived and the pardons suggested have
been ordered.
I hope that your Legislature will have
no hesitation in accepting the amendment
to the Constitution of the United States,
abolisbing slavery. It will set an exam
ple, which will, no doubi, be followed by
the other Spates and place South Carolina
in a most favorable attitude before the na
tion. I trust in God that it will bo done.
The nation and State will then be left free
and untrammelled to take that course
which sound policy, wisdom and humanity
may suggest.
Andrew Johxs.on,
President U. S.
Three days afterwards I received the
following telegram from the President,
dated—
Washington, Oct. 31, 1865.
To B- F. Perry, Provisional Governor.
There is a deep interest felt as to what
course the Legislature will take in regard
to the Constitution of the United States,
abolishing slavery, and the assumption of
the debt created to aid in the rebellion
against the Government of the United
States. If the action of the Convention
was in good faith, why hesitate in making
it a part of the Constitution of the United
States ? 1 trust in God that the restora
tion of the Union will not be defeated,
and' alt that has, so far, been well done,
thrown away ! I still have faith that all
will come out right yet. This opportunity
ought to be understood and appreciated
by the people of the Southern States.. If
I know my own heart, and every passion
which enters it, it is to restore the bless
ings of the Union and tie up and heal eve
ry bleeding wound which has been caused
by this fratricidal war. Let us be guided
by love and wisdom from on high, and
union and peace will once more reign
throughout the land.
Andrew Johnson.
Formal notice will immediately be given
to those States which were then in insur
rection.
The objection which you mention, to
the last clause of the constitutional amend
ment, is regarded as querulous and unrea
sonable, because that clause is really re
straining in its effects, instead of enlarging
the power of Congress.
The President considers the acceptance
of the amendment, by South Carolina, as
indispensable to the restoration of her
relations with the other States of the
Union.
W. II. Seward.

Heaven. In his hands science must I in communication with this Government,
not merely embody the general laws
of nature, but science and art should
respond to a Divine claim, and beautify
the Universe. History must testify,
not in dead words, but in living tones,
to the authority of God over the
affairs of mankind. To him is com
mitted the task of separating the true
from the false, the pure from the base,
the precious from the vile, the abiding
and eternal from the vain and transi
tory; and, appreciating all that is fair,
and loving all that is good, to intro
duce it into the minds under his care,
and nourish them with k its quickening
sustenance. By him the sensibilities
of the mind in their relation to intel
lectual tastes and habits are first
awakened. By his fingers are those
chords first struck which are to vibrate
forever with notes of joy or woe.
The earliest impressions, the most per
manent influences are received from
him: and, indeed, the position of the
teacher places him between the phe
nomena of the Universe, the varied
wonderful facts of human history, the
multiplied experiences of life, and the
pupil dependent on him, almost im
plicitly and exclusively, for knowl
edge, direction, and guidance. It is
his genius that interprets the world to
the youthful student, explains its mys
teries, solves its enigmas; the eMer
nature is received into the younger
nature, and blends with its struggling
vitality; his image is reproduced, and
bis power, whatever may be its degree
and bearing, becomes one of assimila
tive force that is never lost.
Avon Edme.
This formal notice of the proposed
amendment to the Constitution of the Uni
ted States has not yet been received.—
When it is, I will communicate the same
to you. The amendment may be seen in
Acts of the late Congress, and is in these
word8 :
“Neither slavery nor involuntary ser
vitude. except as a punishment for crime,
whereof the party shall have been duly
convicted, shall exist within the limits of
the United States, or any place subject to
their jurisdiction.
Sec. 2. Congress shall have power to
enforce this article by appropriate legisla
tion. Approved February 1, 1861.
A few days since, I addressed a commu
nication to Mr. Seward, Secretary of
State, by mail, in which I repeated and
enlarged on the view's previously express
ed to the President in reference to the ob
jections which entertained in South Caro
lina to the proposed constitutional amend
ment. I am happy, to find that the Sec
retary of State does not regard these ob
jections as well founded, but considers
them “querulous and unreasonable.” It
is true, that a plain, honest construction
of the language of the amendment would
be, that slavery was abolished in the
United States, and that Congress should
simply enforce it. When this was done,
their legislation would be ended. Tliey
could not attempt, under the authority
given by this amendment, to pass law's for
the government of the “freedmen” in then-
free state. The Attorney General of the
United States and the President have
both been understood as concur! ing in this
opinion. It would, therefore, be well, in
adopting the proposed amendment, to
place on.record the construction which had
been given to it by the Executive Depart
ment of the Federal Government.
It is manifest, from the earnest, eloquent
and patriotic terms in which the President
has urged the adoption of this amendment,
ihat he regards, as lie says, “all that
South Carolina has done—and so well
done—as thrown away, unless the amend
ment is accepted by the Legislature.”—
The Secretary of State is still more ex
plicit in his language. He says : “The
President considers the acceptance of the
amendment by South Carolina as indis
pensable to a restoration of her relations
with the other States of the Union.” The
reason why this exaction is made of the
Southern States, after they have abolished
slavery, is, that they might otherwise, at
some future day, change their Constitu
tions and restore slavery, in defiance of
the Federal Government.
You, gentlemen, have at this time the
destiny of the State in your hands, and I
feel assured that you will act calmly and
dispassionately, with the view to the
peace, happiness and well-being of South
Carolina.
I addressed a communication to the
Secretary of the Treasury at Washing
ton, a few- days since, urging that, in case
the Legislature should assume tlfe pay
ment of that portion of the direct tax for
which South Carolina is liable,, the Fed
eral Government should receive her bonds
for the same, or suspend the collection of
the tax for the present year. I would ad
vise the immediate assumption by the
State of her portion of the direct tax,
which is about 8366,000. This will re
lieve the people from immediate payment
of it to .the I ederal tax collectors, and en
able the State to make some arrangements
in reference to it with the Treasury De
partment or Congress.
In my communication to the Secretary
of State I urged the propriety of with
drawing the colored troops from the in
terior of the State to the forts or seacoast,
and requested that white troops might,
for the present, be retained in Charleston,
Georgetown and Beaufort.
I have forwarded the resolutions you
^ni me the other day, in reference to the
school-houses in Charleston, to Gen. How
ard, and asked that they should be re.
stored to the proper authorities. I made
the same request in regard io the Milifary
Hall in Charleston.
