INTERESTING LETTER.-As a curious fruit of these
strange tmesso sadly "out OF joint"we publish this
morning in full the very striking letter OF Ex-Governor
James Hamilton, OF South Carolina Whatever various
opinions may be entertained of his views and comments
on passing scenes all will read with interest his witty
eloquent and racy reflections. We know no man who
writes with elegance spirit stirring eoquence, and
bTancy. His advice TO South Carolina we in the main
approve Let her bide her time for, if injustice con-
tinue to be done the South Virginia and the whole
South will be with her: it, otherwise, che will stand
cherries and alone. Georgia has shown that she is moi
vet ready for dsunon-he dreadful crash OF this great
confederacy Mississippi has Fixed her State convention
for November nexta period distant that events and
the voice OF her people may confirm utterly efute the
policy of her present hasty action.
! General Hamilton, il will be remembered, was the
governor OF the State and very active IN his military
operations in the trying times Of 1882. He was also,
last winter invested by the present governor Seabook)
with half the sovereignty Of South Carolina in the Uni
ted States Senate.
There is a remarkable coincidence in thought and
language between the letter OF Gen. Hamilton and Gov
Floyd's message. The former saws: The great battle
for The security OF slavery AT the South under the
stution of the United States 10 be fought first at he
NORTH" Gov Floyd speaks of the conservative pa
triots at the North, struggling for the constitution
and the supremacy OF the laws. who are in truth fight
ing the baie Of the Union in the bosom OF non slave
holding States"
These two passages were written fifteen hundred miles
apart but the idea is identical, and the language almost
the same.-Riehmond Enquirer, Dec. 5.
