I We have "con versed with a number of our citizegs who have recently returned from the United States, and they all unite in the sen timent that we, must stand oh our defence as for our lives, and wilh all our resource and energies. With one voice they deo1ar tliat it is i folly, it i madness, it is treason, to wran gle among ourselves, or to indulge- a senti ment opposite.-To the most solid cqneord and tlie niost resolute energy.- Nothing so much hstonishea aaj jirovoke them. aa-auvifulica-tion wliicli tlifcy tlni ot tlipsension or 01 lassi tude among our people, i .With one voice, too, 'a . a" ' thev declare, nu they cliaTire us to proclaim it as the unanimous sentiment, that the law; fdr putting negroes into the army should be immediately passed. They insist upon this witn great emphasis, and they testify that the, moral effect.wbhld be more important ' event; than the material support. 1 lie Yankee managers are makmp great t efforts at' recruiting.. They offer bounties of fifteen hundred to two thousand dollars, for twelve months' volunteers, coupled with the assurance that the right is nearly over, and its heavy work at an end. Such an 'enormous bribe, coupled with such promises,- proves at once the greaFreluctanoe of the people to en list, ami tlie "still frroQT pr nntwillinfrnoaa t r on. force or "submit to a draft. Besides the pay, outfit", &c, three hundred thousand' men,, bought up at the prices offered, would create an additional debt upon the Northern people of Jive to six htrndred millions of dollars! This ainottnt, added to' the present enormous .lia bilities, can but. produce a most serious em barrassment, and rapidlyacceleiate the final and inevitable. catastrophe.'- This new lewy of the Yankees wilj not avail .to overwhelm us. We will surely wir the fight f tee do ovr duty! None are more confident of this thau those -who have had opportunity of observing things at the North. None are more en,thusi,Tsrtc, none moie buoyant -with courage and hope! And let no man suppose that Buch is not the spirit of our people! Let jno one imagine that the few pajtroons with ,beardson,,whoare whipped without ever hav ing been in a fight, are samples of our-pppu-latioti. It is a shame, indeed, that these miserable tremblers are allowed to vex the patience and tire the ear with the exhibitions ot their disgraceful cowardice, but we protest against judging others by them. We protest against the judging of Itichmond by thesS whipped Croakers, titled or untitled. W wish our women would take their broomsticks ami drive them into the river ! We tell ourWoMigrs tkat the people are as uncphqueredaDd rjesolred as they; and will stand up to them arid sustain thi?m ! . Let tiem take care of the Yankees those who.are utr alde to join them in the trenches will take good care of the whipped men at home! We do not intend to be sold outor betrayed by these let thenji. be sure of if) at! uch is the temper of the public mind that to attempt this would be as much as the man's life would be worth. If we can find no law in the books foHsuch cases, ye will be t a law. untb Our selve.. An anolent people' had no statute agaiust parricide because they did not con ceive of such a crime as possible.

Richmond Sentinel.? i -Cannot be Subjugated. "When.it is remembered that the available, military strength of the Confederacy, from the beginning up to last Autumn, was 1,602,000 men; that of these, 818,000 have been called ' into4he field, df whom. 300,000 have died in battle and from diseases, and 6ay 300,000' more become unavailable from other causes; and that there will remaiu a full million of arms-bearing men, exclusive of the quota of negroes called for by the reoent action of Con gress, the fact should be apparent that a na tion with such a strength cannot be subjuga ted. Jn the four years that have elapsed, ar my after army has rolled across our land, but like waves dashing against a roek in mid ocean they have been broken into bloody spray or swept on their course with little decisive-effect. During tlys period, two mill ions of men have attempted to cofique the j Confederacy. Seven different commander rebelliun, and yet ' Richmond" 'stands. Our sea coast is now a line of Federal OutpDsU, and yet. our power is today greater than when wejattempted their defence. What then have the Federals achieved? They have destroyed all our resources in their path-way, despoiled houses, and engendered unquenchable hate. But what is a mere rib bon of territory thirty or fifty miles broad to the vast country yet untouched. They have broken our communications the most seri ous blow of all; but even this has only retard ed our speed, without damaging our t-ause. Weconceive therefore no material pointgain ed by the ehemy whioh should make us de spair; The system of concentration into which we have Wen forced by. prevailing circumstances, may prove in the end, but the'orderiiig of a Wise Providence as a preliminary tp-our suc cess. When our scattered forces shall have 1 II ' : 1 I . . . - - 1 1 . I . 1 oeen gamereci into a compact wnoie, men-win come the real tug of the struggle; and it may be that through the smoke of that day's bat tle will shine upon us the sun of a -second Austerlitz. We have it in our power still to deal tremendous blows. We may be defeat ed, but we cannot be repressed. We may be f forced to retreatfrom Richmond, but wejshall carry a-n army with us, able to continue the struggle for victory for years to come. . If, on the contrary, we hold our own, or the enemy are defeated, their reverse will be overwhelm ing, and their sanguinary labors during the past six months iu front of Richmond will be thrown away., " Through that battle cloud, Heaven may vouchsafe to'send us gleams of peace, t or such a consummation . let us de voutly pray; and in addition to oar pfayers, work to sustain Our government, to develop OUT jesoureea, to maintain confidence, -and, at least, continue to deserve, if we do not win, success. South Carolinian. : . . A Faithful Negro. - We learn that on Tuesday last some strag gling cavalrymen went to the house of Mr. Hardy Brit t, an old and highly respectable citizen of this county, and asked for food, with which they were supplied; and they then made off? but seeing a negro boy, belonging to Mr. B., ploughing a very fine horse In a field near by, two of the number, poorly mounted, lagged behind, then rode up to. the; "boy and ordered him to ungear the horse, as they had come for him. The boy complied, but managed to get hold of a stout switch while ungearing, and as he threw back the. gears he suddenly sprang with.his breast across the horse's-back, at the same instant plying his switchand away he went, recovering an up right position as he fled. - The cavalrymen gave chase, but with their sorry nags it was no use.

I hope they will remain there during the war, in justice to themselves, and that they will stay there after the war is over in justice to us. - , ' But what of the prospects before us. Friends, I do not wish to draw a picture to deceive you. I look upon the prospect as bright and promising. As God is my judge, I have, yet to see the first despondent hour. (Applause.) t believe It wiil render the suc- .cveoS of our cause as certain, as the rising of to morrow's sari, If every man would act as I fed. I don't profess to come up to the stand aid of duty. Mf it cost me myproperty and my life, be it so but O God f give me the liberty and lmreperuience of my country. Are you willing to give up the grasp you have on your property ? Are you willing to be reduced to poverty and rags (laughter) if necessary t secure the independence of the country? Every man should b. Yourcn-' dition would be far better, if it costs the last dime you have, than go back to the embrace of your enemies. Thank God ! I have n6v one cent outside of the Confederate States, -and. not a dime in specie, in it. (Great- laughter.) Give up your property if it be necessary for liberty, and live and die in poverty. Better men than you or I have lived and died in poverty. The Saviour of mankind was meek and had not where to lay his head. I advocate no law lessness no violence ia giving p or ridding men of their property. The sacrifices I as are those of a free and willing heart. Friends, bear with my earnestness; for when I am touching this poiut, I feel that I am attacking the-Gibraltar of our enemy our real foe in his strongest hold. I do not fer Lincoln, nor Seward, nor all their horde-rtreywrrrTe-- scmTeTea"arereat5or"Trn? enemy which I fear is here, enthroned in your lfeart9, and deeply seated in your affec tions. Let us tear down that idol and bring true and honest hearts to the support of our cause, ft is better to be free than to be rich. It is better to be beggars and free, than to be enslaved and have millions of the miserable perishing stuff' which we call. property ! But what mcrecan I say ? One thing more I will ask. Let us have no more dissentions, quarrelings and wrangling among ourselves. Differ we vill. as we have in the past. There will bno time when we can agree upon all points. If youask me if I support the Con- j the most liberal; basis. The school buildings feJerate Administration, I answer! do, with were imnac-diately taken possession of. and a all my heart.

If I had my way, I would do , applications for the privilege ofHeacbing somethings he does-not, and leave undone elner at public or private schools would be some things which he Joes. Then why ' considered. Certain of the old teachers a p don't you oppose 4iim ?" says one. Simply j plied to be re instated in their former posi because it may do no good," and it may do tions.

How many men would now be i a Lee's army, if all that ever went there had acted on that principle ? Xet us give our public men credit for being pat riotic, hone8t and sincere, deeply interested lor our welfare and independence, and give them a hearty support. If they put the men- to command armies whom we. want, well Mr and, if not, let us make the best fight we can under those whbiu they do appoint. ir 1 could select your Generals, and could find out the man the snldirs wntiffd fhev should have him. (Cries of1 Johnston, J oh n sfon, Job piston," and htaxty ch4rs rose from the many soldiers through the ban.) You do not respect more than I do this able com mander. (Loud cheering) There is no man that I feeject more, and there is nd General that 1 would rather go to the field of battle under than Old Joe Johnston, (prolonged shouts of applause) and if I had my way I would appoint him to a command. I talk to you plainly, and 1 talk to the Government in the same way. I want unity. When the Legislature meets, genllemen, discuss your measures and differ as widely upon other questions as you please j bt the independence of your country reign supreme in yorir hearts. If your journal ex hibits yeas and nays op any subject, let it not be upon the great-and vital question of the salvation of the country. There has been some talk of a State Cdn vei.tioa. What do -f yea want with it ? What do we wantr We wanl an army. We want men to go back to service who are absent without leave. ill a State Convention put 'men in the ranks? We wantglothea put oft the backs of our men, shoes on their feet, arms and ammunition iu their hands, and courage and a heroic determination to be free, infused into( tbeir whole heing. Will a Convention do lliis? We want provisions meat, wheat, corn, etc, to feed our men. Will a State Convention furnish these"? Tell me of a single thing good that it can or will do, and lam content. Do vou want a Convention I forpeace ? Lincolu has told you that you shall have no peace, save Upon submission j craven, cowardly submission. De vou want ll for neroliation 1 Lincoln will not nejn ti ate. Do. you want it for the protection of j your property and private right ? Your Legislature is ample for this. Be not de- cetved. When the people call a Convention, 'o cjpi ctoiuu aj me Toice oi sove- reignty.

The first eeneral order issued bv the' com mander of thel feost related to the re-opening ..at lh.e publ iojur.n ocJa. . Uitliexto.. no school a for colored people, bond or' free, have been permitted in Charleston, excepting as special favors to the wealthier classes, and then only under the most onerous servejllance and con ditions. Other such schools have been as the first Christian congregations met by j stealth and in secret places.! As the military force here is small in comparison withthe amount of work- to be done, two Northern citizens interested in universal education, who are here on a visit James Red path, of Bos ton, and Kane O'Dpnnell, of Philadelphia were invited to reopen .the' public schools and re-organize; the system of educatioi cation on favorable opinion had been expressed as to their fitpess. They were asked if, they were willing to take the oath of allegiance. The L first two applicants were astonished that " for males should be required to take the oath, , but (possibly because they looked on Divine truui as too precious a imng to ue was tea on Yankees, for they were violent rebels,) they said they had never been politician's, and o.M 'course would do whatever the authonties thought right. They were then asked : " Are you aware, ladies, that there is no distinction to be made hereafter in the public schools between any class bf children tliat if white children apply, they shall be adntft ted, and if colored children apply, tbey shall be admitted?" " I n the same school, sir ? " " In the same school, madam"." One of these ladies, not figuratively but literally and vigorously, turned up her nose, and the other made extraordinary contortions with her mouth. . After a sufficient time had been given to the two ladies to restore nose and month tx the pristine condition, they were courteousl? informed that a new order; of thin 28 bad come ; that tue old ?outn, witn an its pre judices and aristocracies, !vere done away with, forever ; lht a large majority of the first families, so-called, of South Carolina, had already" been reduced to beggary, and that before the war ended thercfwould be- very fewof them who would not be paupers; that a high social order would be established here, and an entirely different class of people rule ; that the Government could only reoog- ' 1 S A. - nize, in its aeaung? wun citizens, fm test loyalty and, (as-they know inasmuch as the colored people, as a class, had been loyal, and the whites, as a- class, disloyal; there would certainly be nothing done by it, "offi cially, that should discriminate against those who had been true to it, and who welcomed the restoration of its authority. -As there were no -alaveS anywhere now in the United States, and the fact that one who was a slave was none the less a colored per son than when free, the ladiea who had for- fmerly taught their servants! to -read must war uie nus, n mere were any, or educating their children.'

Sherman in his recent vandal march Of raid through this country. My planta tion lies twenty-two miles S. L. of here on the Sjate line between Anson county, and Ches terfield District. The Yankees were there , ia tlie 1st, 2d and 3d instanV robbing, burn ing anduestroying nearly everything that .Ml in their wav. They, first took every horse and mule I had evea to a colt that never had been bridled, they took all my iregtbe men and boya that were able to ride, foe ItrirOjmU'r;) VAcejjt on,-ho icepont of their way. I had killed fifty hogs at my plantation, the meat of wh ich was still there, e.tcept what my negroes bad used ; they took it' all except about 50 pieces that was hid out, and two fat hogs they also took. My last vear's crop of corn was rather scant, though t had 'spared out of it 100 bushels to soldiers' families to prevent starvation, and had 1' left for myself and family perhaps enough to do uVuntil harvest. , Those heai-llesa wretches erjiptied my crib abd I am informed did not leJive me more than 25 bushel!,. They burnt, ftfd away and wasted,' out of a bountiful. 'sup yjfyi every bundle of fodder and oats I-had -ivtore down and burned5 about one thousand Kl had upwards bf onehundred bales of cot- tou. the most of it I 'had made before the wr they burnt it and the houses that con tained it. My negroes, -however, begged tbe,n for some to spin, and they 'put out fi ve billed. I had sold the State 50 bales, which was in a house with mine, and it shared the sajiie fate. They knocked out the heads of rot molasses barrels, (sevcrarof them,) eat ad wasted 'my potatoes, sweet and' Irish; .. t i Ml too it. my looacco; Jtuiea ana eai my geeee, ch ickens and turkies; shot down some of my da'ttle and hogs; robbed, my negroes of their TOOney and "Sunday clothes;" broke up and' UfcTneu coiion caruu ; carneu my wagon ana Pbugh gears off; took several axesrrtc., &e. iThis will give you an idea of how the peo pfe generariy fared, where Sherman and his vindals went.. In South Carolina, near my plantation, I hear of more dwelling houses biting burnt than in North Carolina, though they burnt some in. Anson near my farm, and iif some instances, corn cribs.
