Dear Friend:-I take this opportunity
to let you know how the Bedford boys are get
ting along. We would all like to see old Bed
ford once more. We are now at Beaufort
very fine little town, directly North of Hilton
Head, and at distance of Is miles from that
place Our camp is half a mile from Beaufort
city, directly West of the city. The city is an
old looking place and chuck full of contrabands.
1t takes about 1870 men each day to guard these
contrabands. We have two or three Union
Stores in this place.
1 must recommend South Carolina: We get
DIP in the morning and go upto the doctors shop.
swell, John, what's the troubled" ssDoctor,
have had the diarrhea for weeks" "Well,
Student, give him a dose and put him off duty"
Another enters. "Well, Tom, what's the matter
with you?" "Oh, Doctor, have had the chills
for hours s'Student, give him dose of
Quinine and return him to his quarters" En-.
ter No. g. .sPat what's de matter wild yes 7"
'Och, and shure, doctor, I've had chills and
fever for weeks" Quinine again. Quinine
is well adapted to the climate of South Caro-
lima a4
Our regiment has captured three rebels some
two miles from camp. When they Were cap
tured they were fine looking young men. They
were dressed in citizens clothing and that was
of the poorest kind something which we call
''hard times" drab color Our farmer boys
would not be caught wearing the like such
was the uniform the had on. They had old
slouch hats on which Northerners would not
be caught wearing at any time Ijudge they
were about 18 years old, each having two re-
volvers. They had been A days on the Island,
without any thing to eat. We have great
deal of picket duty to do here, We have sonie
or different points to gard. We have been
some twenty days on picket on Ladies Island
When we came from picket, to our quarters,
there were some fifteen of our company not fit
for duty.
We are all getting tired of guarding CONTRA
bands. The boys of the 55th are all getting
anxious for fight We want this unholy re-
beion crushed out.
We have been in the army year, the sew
enth of this month. I think we have been long
enough in this sandySouthern country; the daya
are warm and the nights very cool.
A soldiers life is one of the hardest that cati
be lived. don't care how good mans com
stitution is, let him soldier one year and he is
not the man that be was when he entered tho
army. si's M
Our Major has returned to our Regiment, ia
good health. All the boys think we'll of the
Major. He is q true union man. I wish our
county could turn out some more men like him.
Our Regiment was quite slost" when he had
gone to Bedford to see his friends. When he
returned there was some cheering among our
men. He is always ready to meet the enemy.
Respectfully Yours,
ISAAC N. BROAD.

brings with it always the best of reason for hope.
1t is the season of gathering in, and though we
have sometimes despaired, though the heat and
the drought have been terrible, though the in
sidious foes of our trees and vines have attack
ed them in strength, though the very heavens
years filled our store houses, and rested on the
reward of our aboIs. "Never despair" is the
autumn lesson, which we must learn now. All
our sacrifices of this year, all the treasure we
have planted, all the young life we have strewed
broadcast over the fields of the country, must
have resurrection, and must return us a hun
dred fold in the time that is to come. Let us
take strength, and, trusting to God, look for
ward.-Jowmat Of Commerce.

Summer is over, and the fruits arc to be gath;
ered for the winter is coming on apace With
what mad speed, with what slow and heavy
football, time brushes or drags along, as one or
another of us views it. To one, looking bacl,
to May, it seems but last week; to another, the
spring time is far away in the remote past, SO
tsar that the odor of its flowers comes not down
on any wind, and the memory of its breezes is
absolutely dead in the hot and sultry atmos-
phere of the war summer We are none of us
very much disposed to look back over the events
of this summer and the less disposed to do so
now that we enter the autumn with the roar OF
cannon, the terrible solemnities of what may
be the great battle of the Union.
Never did American autumn, proverbial for
its glories, find America in such state as this
The sun shines on the broad country with all
the ripening warmth of our September suns, the
winds blow softly over hill and valley, the morn
ing sky is hazy, and the evening sunsets are red
and golden, the moon looks out of the blue a.
bove us with the same old, silver radiance, and
yet we look on all with new eyes, with chang
ed hearts. We are not, as people, what we
were. We have learned new and terrible les
sons. We have seen that though national
growth may begin in winter, and progress
through spring to summer richness, and almost
autumnal ripeness, yet the very day of its full
grown strength may be the day of its most fear
ful trial, when the tempest will threaten to tear
it up and dash it to pieces. We have watched
our own hopes growing mp and gathering beau
ty and strength, to see them blighted. We have
learned what it is to send our best and bravest
out to die for their country, the very period
when we fondly believed that their country was
far beyond the need of any such sacrifice. We
are not, as we were two years ago, in heart in
thought, in anything but hope But the autumn

Secretary Seward and the Emancipation
Question,

The ,So,day Morning Chronicle, and It's twin
brother the Philadelphia Press, asserted that
Mr. Secretary Seward was the earliest and most
persisting advocate Of the universal emancipa-
ton of the slaves Of the United States as one
of the features in the prosecution OF the war
for the Union. Either Colonel Forney is greatly
mistaken or the letter of the latter to Mr. Day
ton, dated April 26, 1862, and contained in an
executive document No. 3, accompanying the
annual message of the President Mr.. Sew
arl says, in urging that the existing revolution
IS without cause, or even pretext =
The condition of slavery in the several States
will remain Just the same, whether it succeed
or fall. There is not even pretext for the
complaint that the disafiected States are to be
conquered by the United States if the revolu-
tion fail for the rights of the States, and the
condition of every human being in them, will
remain subject to exactly the same laws and
forms Of administration, whether the revolution
shall succeed or whether it shall fail. In the
one case the States would be federally connect
cdwi the new confederacy; in the other, they
would, as now, be members of the United States.
But their constitutions and laws, customs hab-
ats and institutions, in either case, will remain
the same. 1t is hardly necessary to add to
ths incontestble statement the further fact, that
the new President, as well as the citizens through
whose suffrages he has come into the admins
tration, has always repudiated all designs what
ever and wherever imputed to him and them,
of disturbing the system Of slavery as it is ex-
listing under the constitution and laws. The
case, however, would not be fully presented II
I were to omit to say that any such effort on
his part would be unconstitutional, and all his
actions in that direction would be prevented by
the judicial authority, even though they were
assented to by Congress and the people.
This record is official, and although the Pres
ident has seen proper to assume different po-
sition from that assigned to him by bis Secreta-
ry of State, there has been as yet no evidence
that the Secretary of State has changed his
views upon the subject. At any rate, it is
hardly possible that he should have put forth
State paper of this character while he was rec
ognized as the earliest and most active advocate
of the doctrine which, in this extract, he so
clearly and unequivocally repudiates.

1t is not within our power to express the
hundredth part of the thoughts that crowd for
utterance, but we will say in terms as compre-
hcnsive as now occur to us, that the proclama-
ton on which we thus hastily and briefly COM
nient, sounds more like the knell of Freedom
and the wall of the departing Angel of Peace,
than any that has been promulgated in the world
since the Revocation of the Edct of Nantes

To the rebels flagrantly in arms; to the hos
tile people of the South and to those in the
loyal States who sympathizc with the Southern
detection, the proclamation will come with heal
ing on its wings 1t will command their un-
mixed qualification, and will be counted by them
not only forming set-of to their recent
disasters in the field, but as adding at least a
hundred thousand men to the side of their sink
ing caltse.

so bitterly complained, and issued his procla-
nation of negro emancipation!
1t Is not month since he announced his pur-
pose to ''save the Union in the shortest way un-
der the Constitution He now announces his
purpose to it by overriding the Constitution.
For he has no constitutional power to issue
this proclamation of emancipation-none what
ever The Constitution forbids 1t by its spirit
from beginning to end. And the President has
no authority not derived from the Constitution
none whatever. He is himself the creature
Of the Constitution.
Nobody need argue with us that he has the
power under the military law. Military law
does not destroy the fundamental civil law
In war, as in peace, the Constitution is 'the su-
preme law of the land"
The Government, then, by the act of the
President, is in rebellion, and the war is reduced
TO contest for subjugation 1t has assumed
the character that Abotionism has designed
from the outset it should assume. When the
war shall be finished, whether the South shall
be subjugated or not, the character Of the Gov
ernment will have to be determined, if indeed
the military power shall not have already de-
termined 1t.
The President has himself furnished some of
the most unanswerable arguments against the
expediency of such proclamation, and this
even so late as at the interview the other day
with the committee of religious fanatics from
this city He has all the while maintained that
until the rebel armies should be dispersed, such
a proclamation would be bratan, ti,ln,en--harm-
less thunder. If he was right in this, what
other ground can the present proclamation be
made to stand upon except that it is an act of
prospective vengeance.
(From the "Wheehng Press" a Union paper of d
Border Sldve ,State.)
We regret to know that one more blazing
faggot has been cast into the fiery furnace of
national discord. and that by the last hands
that should have been engaged in such an act.
The President of the United States has SO far
yielded to that accursed pressure of which
he once lugubricusly complained, as to have be-
come no longer master of his own actions
lie has at length come to such pass as to be
sure, sooner or later, 10 obey the behests of the
insane fanatics he has encouraged around him,
and to close all his circuitous meanderings by a
final enguliment in the bottomless pit of unre-
deemable Abolition
We shall not any longer speak of the Presi-
dents conservatism, or waste any hopes for
satisfactory solution of our tangled affairs in
what pecniiar s'honesty' so often ascrbcd TO him.
nor in any other of his personal qualities, good,
bad or Indifferent. To all ntents and purposes
OF our future history, he has definitely surren-
dered to the most ultra men of the ultra North
ern faction, and turned his back upon every tie
that bound him to constitutionality and moder-
alton. He has taken his last leap and hence
forward in all matters of public policy will be
regarded as but finger of Grcaly, an executive
instrument Of Sumner and Lovejoy.

HEAVEN.

How charming is that word heaven?--
where no tear will never fall, no groan be
heard, no sorrow seen, where no sin will
mar the perfect joy, no death bring it to
an end o, weary heart, there is rest for
you. Oh, burdened heart, there is full
pardon and holiness for you. Do sick
ness and pain make life a burden? Sick
ness and pain never never enter there.
Do sinners vex you? None but the
holy are there. Do you wish perfect holl-
ness and bliss ? You will find them there
Blessed Jesus! in thy name, relying on
thy merits, humbly hope for heaven
That which thou hast bought with thy
blood, shall be my eternal possession.
Redeemed, purified, saved, will there
praise thee forever.

solemn vissage that man ever saw in a
member of the bar, and woe to the lawyer
or judge that attempted to handy words
with him. Between him and Judge 2
WHO, by the way was not considered
a Solomon, existed no friendly feeling, and
the judge would not grant him favor il
he could avoid it. On one occasion
wanted continuance of certain
ease, and the Judge refused it. S--ar-

he right 20 claim it. ''Don't YOU know
rhat we know nothing about these circum-
stances 20 replieo the Judge. "Well,

presumed to know these facts" "Jhe
Court, brother Sis not presumed tc

bow, and a graceful wave of the hand

amid a burst Of laughter from both ban

FRUITS OF VIRTUE,

you should see a man digging in a
snow drift with the expectation of finding
valuable ore, or planting seeds upon the
rolling pillows, you would say at once
that he was beside himself But in what
respect deos this man differ from you,
while you sow the seeds of idleness and
dissipation in your youth, and expect the
fruits of age will be a good constitution,
elevated affections, and holy principles
If you desire a virtuous and happy life,
in youth you must shape your character
by the Word of unerring Wisdom, and
plant in your bosom the seeds of virtue
