LEAVING South CARoLINA.-A gentleman
passed through this city yesterday, with about
sixty negroes, from South Carolina. We re-
member, that in 1882, thousands left that dis
tracted State, and sought home in the more
quiet and loyal States of Alabama and Tennes
see. We expect to see similar condition Of
things now. There are more in South Carolina
who can appreciate the blessings they have en-.
joyed in the Union, and have too much good
sense to exchange them for an uncertainty
