WEDNESDAY MOItMMi. AICiLrT 2.
«iOV I»J£DUV’4 SPKKLH.
A few days since wo published a (el<■Graphic
synopsis of the epcech # Gs Gov. Perrp. <;f S. C.
Wo have before us a copy of tho document rtfc
ferred to.
The Governor begins by terming the meeting
/oneof hnmiliatio 1 and sorrow. lie then goes
on to picture the losses a id horrors of tho war
jjnsfrended, shows up the lamentable slate ot
affairs; and says the people of South Carolina,
now me jt as a “subjug iUd an 1 disgraced people,
to petition their cor 4 teror to restore to then
their lost rights.”
He then draws a lively picture of the excite
merit in the days when ft cession began, end
the despondency which new exists at its end
ing. He nex t j rocccdcs to show that secession
was unnecessary and unwise, because the South
would have ruled in the Union.
In explaining why the Sc nth failed, he at
tributes the result to various causes. The
North outnumbered ««. That section had a
governtne /urge manufactories to make tv< ry
thing nece nary to cany in a wai; a navy; and
an army which was increased in numbers by
foreigner and Southern negroes. While the
Southern people were impulsive and enthusias
tic, they lacked both energy and perseverance
—two traits ncceisary to suecmfully cany on
gr. at enterpiises and great wars Jl the South
had been united in the contest, however, he
thought tbc 1 csult would still have been dfler
•ent from what it was—but the ‘ great cause of
ber failure because the heart of the peo
ple was never in the revolution
While ho “deeply regretted secession at the
beginning,” no man in the South now “feels
ntore bitterly the humiliation and degradation
ol going hack into the Union” than he. Still
lie acknowledges the South win'd ho more
prosperous in the Union than out of it.
The attiibutitig tho failure of the revolution
to the deeds of Mr. Davis, was, lie claimed, a
mistake. “The people themselves were to
blame for the fabure” They weto uowilling
to make sacrific ; »b< y would not go into the
army after the war commenced in earnest; in
stead of recking proper positions in front ot
the battle, they sought bomb proofs for them
selves and sons; and got into soft places and
cflicial positions in or sr to speculate and
make fortunes. Jo ib /.nearly everybody
wanted to keep out of the auny and was witl
ing to p.y any thing or make any sacrifice to
accomplish the icsult.
The speaker next pitcheJ into the ltichtnoud
(Congress for granting exemptions to certain
Glasses, he advocated the idea that alt between
thetigcs of eighteen and foily live ought to
have bu n teiced .uto li e at my to tight.
“But” he continued.—
“Strange to say, the three, cla-si sos m< n who
were mainly ipstnuuenl.il ia plunging their
country into this mail revolution, were all
exempted by Congress from lighting! I al
lude to the politic ms, newspaper editors, and
preachers ot the gospel. This was not lair.
The man who gt Is lip a light should always
take his share ol if.”
lie <lid out think ih > ‘South had sustained
any loss by the death of I’rfridt.nt Lincoln —
for the reason (hat, President Johnson is a
vjniloh abler and tinner nun fun Lincoln was.
“lie is in every way iroro acceptable to tbe
ftfoirtf*. la tb>) first plauf fie is a Southern
wan, and Lincoln was a Northern nun. He is
a Democm. a.-'* IJncdn was a Whip and Uo
publicau r.'Ciddeut Johnson win a slavehold
er, well acquaitiileti with the inslilution, and
knows what- is proper to be done in . tiio goat
change which is taking plaoa. /’resident Lin
coln was wholly ttnatqii tinted wit'; slavery
and Southern institutions. Ftesioenl Johnson
is a man of iion will and nerve, like Andrew 1
Jackson, and v.iil mllicae to Ids principles and
political faith.
“On tbe other band, PiesUlent Lincoln show
ed himself nothing more than day in the
hands of the potter, ready to change his meas
ures and principles at the bidding of bis party.
President Johnson has tilled all the highest and
most honorable tllieis in tbe M.tUuof lcnnes
eee, with great ability uud latisUerion to the
people. There is no sbiin or blot on bis pi i
- character. The abb si. speech ever de
livered in tbe Senate of tlit* United States, on j
the issue between the North and South, was
made by President Johusoh He voted for
Breckinridge in lhe I’residtnlvil canvass of
18ti0. Judging, then, lrotu his antecedents
the South should have every hope and confi
ujenca in him.”
.01 the iutuic td tho South, Gov. Perry was
wauguine that what now appealed to be herloss,
nvoubl in the end prove to be Jit r greatest gain.
To his mind the future was not gloomy. Up
on this subject he said ;
“l have no doubt that j» ten years tbe South
-‘es v. ISi be happy ami prosperous again,
ernSU M nod that the loss or slavery will
and we sha. ‘n gig real condort and stptig
be no loss at ah . ' ’Whi fwwoi will find that

lent his farm or plantation for oik ' how
the gross products. This is more than Lit
makes net, afar subsisting his slaves In
truth, very lew farmers in this region of
country makes any tiling except by the in
crease, of tin it- slaves. These aie divided out
among his children, at his death, and tin y pur
sue the same course of loding and struggling
through life, to raise negroes tor their children.
Aud lints the system goes on, ml infinitum,
without pn tit or remuneration. The lands are
worn out, and the countiy remains uniin
proved. If a planter or farmer is enabled to
save anything, after supporting bis establish
ment, it is invested in the pun base of more
slaves. Hence, increased weuliir adds nothing
to the ecj 'vui nt ts life, or to the improve
ment of the country.
• TJie idlenc.-s and vagrancy of the negro in a
free state may be a nuisance to society. It
must be com cud in the best way we can. 1
have no doubt in nine, cases cut of ten free
dom will prove a curse instead ot a blessing
to tbe negro. No one should, turn off his ne
groes who are willing to remain with him
for their vituals and clothes and work as they
have heretofore done. T hey have had no
agency in bringing about the change which
has taken place, and we should teel no ill-will
towards them on that occount ”
While feeting the “humiliation and degr< da
lion «f our present situation’’ lie was “glad the
b’.oooy war was over,’’ and that peace
once more rcstori and. This was a great conso
lation. tso mote wculdthere be happy homes
made sad to furnish victims for tho war. He
hoped South Carolina would soon be restored
to the Union, and that civil law wofiid again
reign supremfi over the State.
Gov. Perry thou proceeded lo argue that there- ,
bellion was something more than a rebellion. To '
maintain himself iu this position, he took an ul
tra State rights stand and talked about States
acting iu their sovereign capacity lie appeared
to think that after South Carolina seceded, it
would have been far more treasonable tor any cf
her citizens to have taken part against her, than
it was for them to take part against the United
States. He seems to think if they had so done
that the State could now try and execute them
for treason. He also takes the ground that as
the States had been recognized as belliger
ents by the exchange of prisoners and other
acts on the part of the Union authorities, that
no one of the residents thereof could now be
juetly treated or punished as traitors “To call
I this war a rebellion would simply be a mnap
plica’iou cf turns,” he said. Ia dilating
iutther upon tho* war’’ he remarked that
i tbo=e of the South who had done their du
; ty had won immoiUl boao. s, and that their
cames would illustrate many bright pages in
history.
, “ They hare been uneucce3stul,in their,revolu
tion, but this should not, and does not de
tract lrom their heroin gallauuy cn (he Held

net or balls ot -degisiation. They will be le
] numbered and honored as heroes and patriots,
not only at the South, but in the North, too.
ai soon at passion subsides, and Eober reason
and calm r» Section assumes their sway over
: the public mind.
“1 Can not an 1 would not, ask my fcllow
! citizens to forget the past of this war so tar as
: the North is cone* rued. TLeie Lave been
| deeds of a'rouity committed by United
j Slates armies which can never be forgotten iQ
the Southern .Slates. But Ido entreat them
to become loyal cit zirs, aud respect the na
tional authouties ot the i» public Abandon,
at once and forever, a 1 nouons of secession,
and disunion. Detctmino to live, and .teach
your children to live, as tiue American chi
zena. Tbtre will be in the iuture, it there is
no s now, ai much pride and giandeur in the
name of “American citizen,’’ as there on# was
in that of “Koman citizens.’’ The republic is
destintd to goon increasing in national power
and gieatuessfnr centuries to come. As soon
as the ferment ol the revolution subsides, we
shall be restored to our civil rights, and be as
lree and lipubbcan as wo ever were. There
is no reason why there should be any section
al jealousy or ill-Jeeling between the North
mid the South. They ae greatly necessary
m eJch other, Their mteiests are dependent
and not rival interests, and now that slavery
is abolished, there will be no boon of conten
tion betweeu the two sections.
ILe Governor thought when the war com
wenced lhat the end of Republican institutions
had Come; that “the great American experi
ment was a failure.” But his hopes have
again “revived with the restoration of the
Union. It ii a crying shame to think that
mankind, free and enlightened, are not capable
of governing themselves.
The balance of the speech is occupied with
remarks upon having civil government restored
to the seceded States as soon as possible. He
expresses a great desire to have the military
withdrawn in older that the people ol each
State may regulate their own affairs to suit
themselves.”
Ihe above is a fair synopsis of Gov. Perry’s
speech. While we lully endorse some of the
positions taken by tiro honotable gentleman,
we must beg leaye to entirely dissent from him
on other points. Iu many pf them he is
altogether too ultra and radical. He has also
taken some positions which are perfectly un
tenable,an I which pamiot be held or defended.
THE l*HOVlsio\ VL UJVKIRVmtiS.
The appointments wh ! ch have been made by
tho President of provisional Governors for the
reyolte 1 States, may bo recorded as a fair indi
cation of the policy to hi pumped in the
difficult work of reconstruction.
These gentlemen differ somewhat in their
political views, touching minor Issues, but they
are each and all of unequivocal antecedents on
the Union question.
We need ouly allude to Gov. Tierpont and
Gov. Brownlow, both of whom were proscribed
by the so called Confederate Government.
Beginning with North Gar«liua, we find
Gov, Holden, who for three years at least, ba3
been a most uncompromising enemy of the re
bellion. Originally an open sympatli zer with
s xenion, he has long since repudiated a’l con
nection with the Richmond authorities and
now enjoys tho full confidence of the national
Government,
Gov. Perry, of South Carolina, has been the
steadfast opponent of the leading issues of bis
own State for a quarter of a century. He has
time and again been ostracised because of liis
attachment to Ihe Federal Government. Per-
ho is Ihe tiuest man to the Union who
can bo found In South Carolina. This may
be the principle reason why ho is retained iu
place, *ftp-F his Greenville speech. For we
must say that tho upra we th’uk of the speech
referred to, tho more wo are obliged to
condemn it. Sumo portions pf it arp of a high
ly incendiary character, and no good excuse
can he given for deliyerjeg such sentiments f-t
this late day, whep premineut men, instead of
exciting, should endeavor io allay tho public
mind.
'dev. Johnson, of fiteorgig, can boast of a
good record as a Unionist He is completely in
harmony with the National Administration on
all vital issues.
Gov. Mei win, of Florida, was during the re
bellion a Union refugee ; and lias suffered no
little in person and properly from his bob! op
position to the disunion leaders of that State.
Gov. Parsons, of Alabama, was an original
Whig and resisted the disorganizing move
ments of the s cessiouists just as lopg us
it was possible to accomplish any good by that
policy.
Gov. Shavkley, of Mississippi. has been the
lifelong opponent of Jefferson Dtvia.aud his

just s crib I
Tho work of reorganization is thus pi .
inaugurated at the South, and we have reason:
to know that there will be no intentional de
parture from the plan of restoration indicated
in their appointments.
In Georgia, at least, tJere will be no lack of
able men to carry on the affairs of government.
Aten who belong to tho class of stater-men
that ought to tqaJrol the reoiganized State
Government; who will hoth by example and
precept, promote harmoi., in the public coun
cils. Men whose past history warrants the be
lief that they will countenance no scheme ol
State politics that will embroil the Union or
(hat will estrange and alleniate one section of
the common country from another.
Let the people nominate and elect men of
this character for every position of power and
Influence and we need have no fears of the
public safety.
Tua East Tennessee and Virginia Railroad
—Regular passeDger trains are now runniug
from Knox tdlle to Jonesboro. Special trains
convey passengers and freight to Carter s De
pot. twelve miles further, which is the present
terminus of the roan. This leaves only twenty
miles of the road to be finished to Bristol, and
theie are only two bridges to repair to complete
the whole.
The Virginia and Thunesseo R-d.road, fn-iyv

POLITICAL AfJI tAT C.V .
Demagogueisrn h* the luue of Republican
Governments, and agitatFc is the element in
; which demagogues lire, ant move, and have
j their being. The#libcrtids of Greece wore
: ruined by vcral orators ; the republicanism of
j Borne was subverted by mercenary factions ;
j and our own people sfcoul i profit by their
j example.
It might be reasonably supposed that after
the bitter expetier.ee of the last live years, the
people of the South wou'd be heart-sick and
weary of the strife of party ism. Bit scarce
ly h ive tho armies disbanded and the sounds
of war ceased in the land, before selfish piaco
hunters are sowing the seeds of future rtbel
ions to end in still further injury to onr sections.
In the name ofkumanity we enter our sclem
protest against this mischievous madness.
I This political phrensy, for we cm characterize
it by no milder term, assumes different phases
in and fferent localities, but it is everywhere the
same element of discord and distraction.
In Missouri it organized in opposition to ihe
revised constitution and endeavors to accom
plish its objects by down right peujury and
armed resistance.
In Kenlucky it opposes the constitutional
amenuments and seeks by a persistent, Vet
fruitless tflort to perpetuate human slavery in
tho very heart ol the Federal Union.
Ia Virginia it pratis like senility itself about
theeffbtedigmas of the rest lutionaoi 98 and 99.
In Tennessee it denounces the State Govern
ment as a fraud, a usurpation, and in some
counties has murdered Uuion soldiers and in
offensive Union citiz ns.
We do not discuss the merits of the several
measures which these factionists oppose. They
may be real or th y tniy bo imag’nary griev
ances of which they complain. But whatever
opinion we entertain on that point, there can
bo no question that the spirit cf Ibe opposil ion is
highly rejiehcnsible. It is the identical spirit
which four years ago hurried the South into a
disastrous revolution.
As matters progress we shall be happy to
find that the Gulf States have escaped tins
agitations which are now exciting these States
on their Northern holders.
Auction»Salb of GovernmentCotton-—There
was another immense sale of government Ba
vaucah and Sea Island cotton at auedon, in
New Yoik, July 20. The conditicus of sale
were payment for the cotton.within two days
in gc II or gold certificates; cotton sold as it
was; no reclamation for damage; gold rate,
142. There was a large attendance of gentle
men who had “speculation in their eyes,” and
they put in their bids rapidly and with spirit.
The prices obtained and lots sold were as fol
low.*': Ido bales middling fair, 37J0; 929 bales
fully middling,
low middling; 1,755 bales tally good ordinary,

bales third quality, Sea Island, 51c; 91 bales
saw ginned, die; 20 bales stained, 25]c; 20
bales seedy, 21c. It is probable from a, .slat t
inent made iu the silo by Mr. Draper, that but
one more chance will present for the purchase
of Sea Gland oitton at auction upon govern
ment account.
Tub Endorsement oj? I‘nisi dent Johnson. —
l’he cordial endorsement ot the policy of Pres'r
dent Johnson given by several State Conven
tions recently h IJ at the North, is a signifi
cant and highly satisfactory proof ot the con
fidence of the loyal citizens throughout our
entire couutry. It shows that tho difficulties
and embarrasmynts by which he is surround
ed are fully appreciated, and that he will be
sustained and encouraged In the steps be has
takeu to restore oider and civil government in
the land.
The friends of the Union in Georgia should
do all in their power to support the President
and the officials ho has appointed to carry out
his po'icy, in the great work of reorganization.
Let all factious opposition to the powers that
be, cese for ,a while in the commonwealth at
least. Aud let the measures recommended by
our Governor fie maintained and upheld by
gvery one who deifi es Georgia to once more
become a prosperous gad growing State.
Not the Kind cf Invitation that wu.t. be Ac*
OKpTEDjf-A lUchmcr.d paper is calling upon
the strong heallby emigrants who land at New
Vorb, to come to ihe Sou'h wheie they arc
very much wanted. It says
“Our fields want them ; our forests are sigh
ing for then) ; finance wants them ; tbe tire,
side wants them; politics wants tbnn. We
have broad acies and a welocmo for musy a
day’s importation of them ; yes many a month’s
cargo, even at this high rate, and vyr have a
genial country, a hd*pLablc people, easy em
ployment, indulgent taskmasters, and abound
ing room for al l. ’ ?
The paity who issued this card of invitation
may think he has performed bis part of tbe af
fair well. 13nt he will find bis programne cue
which will not tab@. Emigrants do not come
to tbe Uuiled States to seek “taskmasters,-’’
but to avoid them. Tbe Soutli may gain while
emigration if it tenders equal rights and un
restricted freedom, but white emigrants do not
wisb to be pousienHcd serfs ; they will not ac
cept ihe situation of coolies ; and the worst
plan fn thg fc-orld to lure them to the South is
tp them about “taskmasters.’

The M. E. Church .'-Vi tu. — We learn from
tho Cincinnati Coranrred*! that tho miniteqs of
the M. E. Chunk South, Tsi.iing ia Missonri,
recently held a meeting Palmyra, to taka into
consideration the condition of The'Church, and
decide whether it was best to merge their or
ganization into that of tho Methodist Church,
from which they withdrew in 1844 The com
mittee appoints! to deliberate on the subject
repored adversely to such a movement. They
say that the abolition of slavery b3S not destroy
ed all ihe differences between themselves and the
parent Church ; that ‘‘‘the upon
which the church divide 1 was not whether the
institution of slavery was right or wrong, per
se. but whether it w-a* a legitimate subject for
ecclesiastical legislation ”
The report con dudes with the following res
olution, which wa? adopted :
“Resolved, That wi) consider the mainten
ance of our separate and distinct ecclesiasti
cal organiz itiou as ot paramount importance
and our imperative duty.”
The Commercial thinks that a considerable
body ot the clergy and laity of the South who
do not approve ot the perpetuation of the or
ganization, and are anxious tS uuite'with their
brethren North ; therefore, it says, “the ac
tion of the Missouri Methodists will be likely
to lead to further disintegration, and the for

M»c*)n Cotton Market.
The operations of the week in this staple
commodity, have not justified the expectations
which were formed in regard to them, from
the closing operations of tbe previous week.—
Every one then supposed that the amount of
sales of cotton the first week would have been
much in excess of what they wero then; and
that the ruling rubs would be 30c per pound,
or a trifle higher, but the end has not confirm
ed defiers expectations as to the extent of the
trade. For this there are two very simple reasons
first, holders of cotton do not relish the idea
of taking 30c. for cotton which would bring in
the New York maike.t 52c : and buyers are at
the present time subjected to such inconveni
ences in getting their cotton to market, that
they are not dis; used to pay 5 to 10c. per
pound for it. which they might do without in
fringing to much on their margin for profits.
Bath the Chattaini chee and tbe Savannah
rivers, down which all cotton to reach a con
venient seaport is shipped, are hardly boatable
at the present time; and we learn that the freight
per bale from Eufaula to Apalachicola is $lO
Buyers, in cons> qoence of these difficulties, are
slow to operate. But little cotton has changed
hands during the week. We quote average fig
ures 30 to 33; some sales of a few bales in extra
good order Lave been made at 35c, and from
wagons, purchases have been made at 28c.—
One sale of 350 bales was made at 32An
abundance of money is on hand to makepur
ebases, and planters who can make “clear ti
tles’’ to their cotton will realize good prices,

• Horrible Murder of a Woman and Child.—
We are informed that i horrible tragedy took
place in Madison county, about four miles,
from London, last week, but our informant
could not give names We recite this awful
story as we beard it. A fauner sold bis farm
to three men, who gave him $15,000 cash in
part payment. In the evening he walked to
London, leaving his wife and child at homo.—
Some time af'er, a pedlar who had often stay
ed all n ght. at the house drove up and asked
permission to remfin, but the farmer’s wife de
dined, because it was doubtful if her husband
returned that night, and she knew there was a
large amount of mrney in the house. She re
marked to the pedlar that if her hu3baud re
turned he would probably meet him The pedlar
drove on, met the fanner, and relumed. As they
approached the house tfee farmer observed light
in a room in which he usually kept his papers,
and remarked to the pedlar that there were
burglars in the house. The pedlar produced a
pair of revolvers, and the two, stationing
themselves at points where the burglars would
probably attempt to escape, they gave the
alarm, and three men rushed out. The pedlar
killed two of then), when tho third ran towards
theffirmer, who killed him.
Upon entering the house the farmer was hor
rified to find bis wife and child murdered.—
When the bodies of the murderers were exam-
IqecL it was discovered that they were the par
ing who had purchased the farm that day, and
one of them brother-in-law to the farmer.

j The Population and Commerce c 5. n Fxv n-
I cisco.—The rapid growth cf &nt Fi 1 cG '
• population and commercial impoitance, is <
j of tfce most remarkable facts in the ;r 9
of Americas settlement. Sixteen y.ms :ir >
I tho city was a petty hamlet. Ia one year i R
! the discovery of gold had become universal’/
known, San Francisco had a population f
about thirty thousand, aud-its harbor was f . •
eel with ships from every quarter of the world.
Ten years later its population Lad more Ik <:t
doubled ; and in five years it has nearly donb
ed again, being bard on4o one hundred l
twenty thousand. When it is rememhei; 1
lhai the entire American population in the Fa
ct fie States and Territories does not probably
pvobably exceed six hundred thousand, the
number in San Francisco is the more aste'v
ishiug. The increase in the commerce of tho
port Las been equally wonderful. For the
purposes of comparison, we give here with a
statement, compiled from official sources, of
the amount of revenue collected at the ports cf
Boslod, Man Francisco, and Philidelohia, ter
ihe year ending December 21, I S6I :
Iu Boston they were SB,OBB. LIS; In S x
Francisco, $6,378,384, in Philadelphia*s3,o9o -
765
Thus if appears that in respect to tbeamoi r.:
of duties collected, San Francisco lias, in four
teen years, passed Philadelphia, ’and near’ t
re ichcd Boston. From being quite Ki outiv
the tith eitft, ranking behind New Orleans a 1
Baltimore, it has become the third in point <
comtneicial importance, aud in two or tin :
years will be second to Now Yoik alone. Tho
most substantial iucicaao in the commerce < f
the city has occurred since the outbreak of the
civil war. Before that time we imported lilt »
directly troni foreign countries; tlie foreign ar
ticles consumed boro coming from Rastern
houses, after paying dutii>s in Atlantic port:..
Tno presence upon the Atlantic of nnmeror ;
vessels caused dealers here to import diiccfi
from Europe under the protection of neutral
colors, and this new movement has been slim
(Rated by our ability to send return cargoes ot'
grain, wool, quicksilver, turpintinc, roain, and
ores of copper, silver, and gold. Besides di
rect trade with Europe aud the Pacific colonic•:
ot Gieat Britain, San Francisco has been
gradual y attracting a portion of that Asiatic
commerce which is hereafter to make it equal
in wealth anil importance to New York, ami
one of tho three greatest commercial empori
ums of the world. The fact that the city io
located in tho best and almost the only lunbor
cm a coast lino of fifteen hundred miles in
length, partly accounts for its concentration m
population and trade, and will secure for it
permanently the ascendancy it already cn~
ioys.— Sanlrancisco Bulletin.
*The Episcopal Convention. —’ihe coming
general Convention ofc the Episcopal Church,'
in October next, will be one of the most im

Episcopal Church. According to Rev. Dr.
John Cotton Smith, in his reply to the Bishon’a
Pastovial, an effort will be made to introduce
anew cannon, intoned to allow tho clergy of
this church more liberal relations with'those
of other denominations. This movement will
meet with vigorous resistance as well as hearty
support. The clergymen identified with it are
weft known for the.r perseverance and inde
pendence, as well as for a tendency to contro
versal discussion ; while tho Bishop will be
supported in the. course he has adopted by the
vast body of his clergy.
The return of delegates from the Southern
