In the first number of the “XIX Century” anew periodical issued at Charleston and conducted by F. (J. DoFontaine, who will be remembered as the best cf Southern war corres pondentu under ih anonde plum• of “Personne,” we find a series of “sooty grnphs,” giving counterfeit, but life like presentments of the colored he roes, statesmen, and sclto’ars, who notv rule in South Carolina. They are so striking and so suggestive- they inli eute in a style so homely and graphic the tendency of the times under liadi cal auspices—that we copy them. How long will it be before they are trans ferred from the provincial arena in which they now move to the nationai arena at Washington? “Revolutions,” the Radicals tell us, “never go back wards ” Tlte course of thi * revolution cert ...0 1 ; t It ir. \\ ■■■ phe people , 1 ill- Nt-tii - est can survey ti e prospect as given below and form their own conclusions as to the condi tion of afiairs when !h« Hon.

Many of them received “diplomas,” we arc told, at the current examiiHi'ion.— ‘•The law school” (says the negro I’ro feHt-or, Langston,) “is a labor of lovo” offallfidoe; ‘‘is tho only one ol tho kind in the world,” and is pai l and puree! ol “Gen Howard's magnificent plan for the educalon ot the colored youili of Aroeiiea in tho higher walk' of learning.” Mr. Langston, (colored) is one of the law professors, as 1 have ietimatid, and A.

Scholars are admitted pellrviell witliout regard o age, sex, l ace, color, qualifications or | “previous condition.” The intelligent white of nine or Nineteen, and the ig norant Congo feminine of seven or Rev ! only are equally entitled to admission, uud so with tho tuber sex But “ht 0 h er walks of learning” are positively aimed at, and :n some of the more al> struso sciences it is said considerable progress has already been made Al together the people of tins model me tropolis are ic a fair way of bacomihg the of uli civil zatiocdoir. 1 From Frank Leslie’s Illustrated Paper. Moiiili«>i-ii Invitation lor Nortli «ti» l.lilciin iie. Tho leading question before the coun try—tho reconstruo ion of the Southern States iu meh way as to harmonize with the other portions of the national Union —’s now fortunately, in such a practical shape that the wholo oommuDity may find abundant opportunities for promot ing tho good work in ways suited to tho various tastes and energies of people in all localities, South and North. Con troversies on the political topics invo!v> cd in tlo rebellion arc happily giving way before the industrial and social ob ject of “making the best of the situa tion.” Though opinions cannot be changed as readily as garments, the Southern people to a great extent, are wisely overlooking, if not forgetting, the antagonism of former years, and are in viting Northern peoplo to combine with them iD promoting Southern prosperity, with which the welfare of the whole country is insuperably intertwined. The reconstruction we mean, is not alone a political formality, but a practical, ma terial, liviug realty—the spirit that Lroathes life snd beauty among tho dry bcnesoft'ie S uthern v l eys. Right heartily do we congratulate the people of both sections on this auspicious state of things. Wo know of no way for promoting the general welfare more effectually than by urgiug the enterprise and capital attho North to eu-opera’e with the Southern landowners in re pairing tho wastes of war, in promoting education and religious improvement; in developing the varied and vast re sources of the regions below the “Ma son and Dixon” boundary, which is hap pily now no longer a dividing line be tween slavery and freedom Thousands and tens of thousands of the most enterprising people of the North, hitherto preventod from ectt'iog in the SuUth, are now resolving to car ry out their long cherished desires—tho great barriers which formerly repressed them having disappeared with the ex tinction cf siavcly. Many have already exchanged their Northern bonuir foi farms and workshops in the sunny South, and ‘ tho cry is b‘ill they corao.” This sign of tho times is rendered tho rnoro cheering by tho fact that the Southern States arc niw formerly in vrttffj 1W iiuuilgi..,; th»y '( rmcrlj repelled. Com missioners to pi emote immigration have actually been sent to the Northern States, as well as to Eu rope, by several Southern States, of which Virginia futnisbas a signal exam pie, in seuiling northward a gentleman like General linboden, an ex cfiiecr of ihe Confederate army, to show most forcibly, as it were, the ehangtd feel inl’ that now invites Northern settlers to aid in developing tho immense natural advantages ol the fajutbern section oi the Uuion. Alil, talking of rcsourcaf, what rc-iou of the wi rid possesses greater advanfa g.B than the vast county between the IVootac and tho M* xican Gulf, between the Atlantic coast and (ho Western boundaries of Missouri, Aikam-as an I Texas '( Climate, soil, farming products, min eral deposits, with cavignblo and rail way facilities for promoting intciooursu and bringing the farmer aud mechanic, the merchant and the manufacturer wirhiu easy reach of the best markets, arc to* all these advantages poascsstd by the Bouth lo a degree unsur passed in any other region of equal ex te tl under tho canopy of heaven '!

But let us all r.member that social nariuony aud ilnlu trial co-operatiou are iudispont-iblc for a full icalizalion ol th s cheeiing prospoct. l,ei those who go Southward remember that it is nci ther gcneious nor jioiltc to iudti ge in loeliugs or language that might necd- Ussly increase the saduess or bit eroo-s which cot unnatural.y lingers iu ibe omuls of many SoiUhcrneis.

It tells the "thole story, and comment on our part is whol ly unnecessary: Monrovia, Liberia, 1 January 3, 1869. j I have lived now in this home of the African nearly twenty years; but I have not forgotten tho old scenes in Virgin ia, nor the kindness of many white friends in former days. I wish it was in my power to return for a time, that my voico might be heard by my colored brethren of the Southern Statas. lam anxious for their fate. As I sit here, on the shores of this continent' tilled with a native black population, and look across the great waters over your continent filled with white men, I cannot but be fearful in regard to the future of the few millions of people of my own blood in the South, now left to their resources, I see a tide of white men pouring uvtti l-tr.—c fields which have heretofore fed tin m ; a tide coming from the oveifliwing population of the North ern Slates and Europe. I remembev how tint tide, when slow and feeble, swept off the native Indians; and now, as it rushes iu its might, what is- ter shield tnc iiauspLaaieu zvtfican irom its waves ? I cau think of but one hope for him. If, as a body, the colored peoplo of the South shall identify themselves with the white ptoplc who now occupy and hold thotsoil, gain tbeir affection and conli lencr, and become useful mem bers til their oommateities, they tnay float above the torrents and still dwd> in peace among the associations of tho past; otherwise, they must, in tho bps : of years, be buried beneath it, or washed, like drift-wood, into the our~- iog zinc cround the Equator. And yet the occasional letters and’ papeis W« receive lu re from the United States tell us that political demagogues from the Norib, peddling politics ‘tor their own profit, arc exciting our race to hostility towards the whites. If they shall be oorno the dupes of such emissaries, their fate iff sealed. The scattered whito men on this continent of Africa might as well array themselves against the na tive tribes of b’aok men, with the ex pectation of mee i ig anything but de s rue ion in ih: pursuit of such folly. — l Lei some coofi leDcc that tho more in tebigent portion of the people of color will not bo lei astray by adveuturers who will use them while they reap any personal profit from pretended fiiend 'hip, and desert them when they please.■ But the mass have not bad time to learn' lessons es poii seal wisdom, and the pros pect fills me wild sadues-i. If l could hut make them hear me, I would appeal to them to takNe common cause with the whito people of their own land, to take advice and counsel from such men as bave been kuowivto them through thpir lives for iheir biga character nad-hones ty and intelligence, to seek (the welfaro of tLe people on whom they must j depeud through ail time for their own 1 prosperity, to do no act which shall I give to the white population just cansff far enmity, and thin identifying them | selves with tbc communities in wbioh they dwell, obtain for themselves tho most powerful of allies in the struggle against those Lrces which threaten their very existenea.
