From the New York Evening Post
EXILES FROM THE SOUTH.
TWO HUNDRED AND EIGHTEEN IN E1erH DAY.

TWO HUNDRED AND EIGHTEEN IN EIGTH DAYS.
The steamship Alabama arrived from Sa-
vannah this morning. She brought thirty
four steerage passengers, who were not per-
mitted to land.
The Alabama belongs to the same line
with the Augusta and Florida. We have it
on unauestionable authority that no steer
age passengers were permitted to land in Sa-
vannah: The same course is pursued there
as in Charleston all steerage passengers
are sent back by the authorities.
The steamship Columbia arrived at this
port last evening, and is now lying at her
pier in the North river. She brought forty
seven ,stars. be -.Fsnssengers, who were sent
back by the Mayor of Charleston under cir
cumstances precisely similar to those under
which the steerage passengers of the Nash
vile and the James Adger were returned, as
noticed in the Evening Post of Saturday.
It will be remembered that the Nashville
brought forty seven and the Adger thirty
two, and the forty seven of the Columbia
make hundred and twenty-six that have
been sent from the port of Charleston alone,
and have arrived here within eight days.
Add to these the thirty brought by the Au-
gusta, the twenty eight by the Florida. and
the thirty -four brought by the Alabama this
morning from Savannah, (ninety-two,) and
we have a total of two hundred and eigh-
teen exiles from the two ports, who have ar
rived here within the eight days specified.
The Columbia, it is known, which ar
rived from Charleston last evening. is com
manded by Captain Berry; and Captain
Berry is the gentleman who was honored
by the citizens of Charleston for raising the
Palmetto flag on leaving New York for
Charleston.
1t seems, however, that notwithstanding
the gallant Captain sailed under the seces-
sion colors, and Notwithstanding he was
presented with goldheaded cane in con-
sequence, the authorities of Charleston had
not faith enough in the Captains zeal, or
respect enough for their own flag, to allow
the Captains passengers to sci foot on the
soil of the new Republic; and the pleasure
the captain derives from looking at his tes-
timonial must be slightly embittered by the
reflection that his avowed devotion to South
Carolina, and his expressed hope "that it
would not be long before be could enroll
himself in some capacity that would sustain
that flag" were not sufficient to ensure de-
cent treatment to the fifty-seven men under
his charge.
The refusal OF the southern cities to per-
nit northern passengers to land is exciting
much comment and indignation among all
classes. As an indication of the effect of
this proscriptive policy. we will mention
the case of geptleman of this city. who
has heretofore been an ultra advocate of
southern principles. On reading the facts
published in the Evening Post of Saturday,
he declared that benceforth he would give
HE vote and influence to the side of free Ia
Dor. "And,' added be, Il would like to
be President of the Unieed States long
enough to enforce that clause which declares
that the citizens of each State shall be en-
titled to all privileges and1immunities of cit
liens in the several States;' would proclaim
the right of these men to land in Charleston,
and if necessary, would send an army of
fifty thousand men to back them.
