Negro Labor for Military Purposes.

The Charleston Mercury rebukes the indis.
position, said to exist in some parts Of the State,
to comply with the requisitiou Of the Governor
aud Council for supply Of negro labor to work
upon the Notifications in and around Charles.
ton. and calls upon the Governor and Council
TO enforce their programme upon these unwill.
ing subjects. The Mercury is clearly right up
on the latter point II the labor is needed, Of
which there seems to be no sort Of doubt, aud
We have law which provides for the procure.
ment Of this labor, it should, by all means be
enforced. regardless oi any p.'try or selfish OBJ
jections from slavcOwners. The man who OBJ
jects, or even hesitates, to comply with the very
moderate requisition which has been made is
wofuly deficient in that spirit OF scif-sacrificc,
which the times 50 urgently demand.
We are gratifed, however. In being able to
state that, the remarks OF the Mercury, In 10
far as they complain ol an unwillingness on the
part OF owners Of slaves to contribute labor for
the purposes indicated. do not apply TO Ian.
caster District. We have yet 90 hear of the
first objection from single planter in this Dis
trict 10 comply with tho demands Of our State
authorities upon him. We have conversed
with several prominent planters on the subject,
and they, without exception, cxpress perfect
willingness 10 comply with the order. All they
wish to be ASSURED Of is, that a necessity exists
for the labor, and they will, u necessary, con.
tribute to the full extent OF their means until
such necessity abates.
The first order, was, that the negros from
this District should so down on the 10th Of
October. The time was subsequently, changed
TO the iGth Of the present month and although
the change interferred with the pre.arrango.
ments Of owners many not having shoes and
clothing ready for their neeroes--yet va hear
no complaints, and We presume that ere this
ail the negros required from this District are
on their way to Charleston.
We desire !, to be known for the character
Of our District that, neither our State authori.
ties, or the people o. Charleston, have any
grounds for complaint against us Of derelistion
OF duty in this matter.

FOR THE LANCASTER LEporR1

Mr.. EDITOR Your reasonable remarks.
in the last issue Of your pnper, in relation
to the superiority of tha Convention over
the Legislature, 70 reasonable man can
gainsny. There is no doubt but that revo.
luton is the only feasible plan by which
the Convention aud Executive Council cnn
be deposed ; and if the Legislature should,
rs some persons seem to desire, call anoth
er Convention for tho purpose of setting
aside the present Convention, it will be
nothing more nor les, than revolutionary
step. Can the people of South Carolina Sc
nousiy contemplate such n thing at this
time We don't believe that they do. The
sober sense Of the State will condemn il.
and will make itself heard, should the il.
sue, unfortunately, be made. We believe
'hat those who are urging the State on 10
revolution are either very ignorant Of what
they are about, or have some sinister de.
signs to accomplish. Revolutions rure,v
ever succeed without bloodsh.d. and ~.
would venture to ask these gentlemen
"he'her they are prepared to back their
counse's by resort to the musk,t and if
'hey answer this question in the affirmative,
then We would inquire why it is tha, they
Hre not helping to sustain, in the field, III.
present revolution When men urp. IN.
State to 90 into revolution they should be
willing to assume some OF the consequen
ces which this step will entail!
There is nothing that would mid the
cause OF A5e Lincoln moro at thi. time,
thar would an attempt upon the part Of
South Carolina-the mother Of the presen,
movement-to inaugurate n second revolu.
tion within her own limits. O
