From Charleston, 9. C.-The Truo
Condition OF Affairs i'm that city.


We are permitted to make the following
extracts from private letter written by
gentleman who has lived it Charleston, 8.
c., since the breaking out of the rebellion.
The facts stated by the writer reveal a con-
dition OF things in that city which will not
be credited by many, but which, from our
knowledge of the character Of the author,
we believe TO be true Mo. Democrat
"CHARLESToN, S. c., Jan. 9.
"The progress of events has brought me
in communication with large number of
men In Charleston who are avoWed Union
men, and it is my belief now that there are
more people in Charleston who await with
longing and desire the batteriug down of
Fort Sumter and the capture of the city,
than there are who would like to see tie
Confederate despotism continue. Russia
and Austria have been called despotic, but
the confederate States Government out
does them both in that direction The
people are tired of the war, and now see
the devilish designs of their leaders; but
the power is gone from them, and they can
be released only by what the politicians
and tho press call "subjugation," but
which is real acknowledgements. Power
power Of the United States is the panncea.
| When the United States take and perma-
nently occupy auy portion of these States,
there Is no fear but they will find Union
men enough to sustain them. But what
restraints the expression oftheir sentiments
is the fear that the successful party OF to-
day may be tue defeated party of to. NOR
row, and then the punishment, sure to
come, is terrible. This is the true state of
the case; and thousands in the army, as
well AS among the people, wait their sure
deliVerance, but must tempOrize till that
time comes.
"The Punishments which the people are
receiving are only apart of what they de-.
serve. There is no hope for this country
Or civilization except in the absolute ex.
ttnCtion OF the men who govern these
States. Thank God that process has be-
gun, aud goes on brAvely. In utteriug
these sentiments utter not merely my ow n
convicttons, but those of some of the best
and wisest of the people of the South
The beat men here rejoice in this war as
the fro through which the country must
have passed on its way to greatness. This
institution of slavery has received it's death
blow, and only thus could there have arisen

With slavery will perish that class of men
who claim to be the gentlemen of America,
but who are type Of all that is bad, with
