PORT ROYAL S. c, SATURDAY, OCTOBER "a, 1868. p

about this but inasmuch as the rebels see us,
and moreover shell us every day and every night
from their big guns on James Island and Sullivans
Island, the mere mention of the fact can do no
harm. 1t would please US now to see "Johnny
Reb" attack us. We could hold the island till
doom cracks If he came we would try and make
things nice for him. We would treat him as well
as We know how. We haven't got anything too
good for him. We think we could induce him not
to 60 back.
The camps have been good deal changed since
headquarters went away. Gen. GHLMoRE and
his staff did require good deal of room. Now
that he is away we miss the music of the Post
Band but We appreciate highly the additional
space we get.
The alarm on the feet the other night, though
q huge one at the time and even extending to us
on shore, has ceased to be talked about. I OBJ
serve, however, that you did not get the true
statement of the affair in THE New SOUTH last
week. The rebel craft that came down to sink
the Neu hoasides did not destroy itself by its
torpedo. 1t was annihilated and sent to the bot
tom by broadside from the figate. The Ne,o
Ionsides was not damaged in the least, though a
late Charleston paper claims that severe injuries
were inflicted. Lieutenant Glassell who was in
command Of the torpedo-explod oder--I don't know
any other name for the vessel-was on officer Of
the rebel navy and belonged to the Chicora. He
was found the next morning, in company with
one of his crew, having been picked up by the
Captain of schooner in the channel. There is
story in circulation that the Captain of the
schooner had agreed, in consideration of the sum
of $500 and the rebels watch, to put him ashore
on Sullivans Island I have heard that the trio
was sent in chains to Hilton Head, on the follow
ing day. Glassell, the Lieutenant, was formerly
an officer in our navy, and was at one time q
''boarder" at Fort Lafayette, from which he was
released in exchange for some of our officers. He
will probably resume his connection with that
institution at an early day.
The late Charleston paper to which have re-
ferred had notice of a grand ball given in that
city to some officers who had arrived from Gen.
LEES army. The rebel editor discloses dispo-
sition to crow family over the recent battle at
Chickamauga Creek-or the "Riyer of Blood -
but admits after all that Rosecrans position is too
strong to be taken. Looking at the experience of
Fort Wagner and Vicksburg he thinks the only
way to get the place is to dig to it.
Our pickets bring inthe report that rebel troops
have been for some days in motion on James
Island, going toward the city. We surmise that
they have been ordered out to reinforce the rebel
General Bragg.

The Voice of am old Democra,.

Hon. Joseph A. Wright, Ex-Governor of In
diana, represented our Government at the
court of Berlin during the administration OF
Mr.. Buchanan, and since his return has repre-
resented his State in the U. S. Senate. On the
10th of March last, in New York, he said. re-
ferring among other things to the SO called
arbitrary arrests:
The responsibility of these arrests lies with
the President. The Constitution gires hin.
that poacer; and Gen. jackson has taught the
same.
The Proclamation was issued by Abraham
Lincoln, as Commdnder-in- Chief fofthe Army,
saying to his men wherever you 20, weaken
your enemy"
The idea that the negroes will be brought
here TO compete with white labor is preposter-
Gus. We could not get them here if we want
ed them"
i call upon you to give ALL YOUR EN-
ERGIEs TO THE AID OF THE GOVERNMENT
for the saving Of the country; and remember
that God is worth living for, man is worth dy-
lag for.

Utterance Of a Noble Democrat.

James I. Brady was the Breckenridge candi-
date for Governor of New York in 1860, but,
while he makes no concession of Democratic
principles, his Demoeracs is not of that stripe
which leads him to affiliate with or submit to
treason. On the 9th of March last he said in
public speech, referring to the Rebel leaders
"They have told us that if we gaze them a
blank paper and pencil TO ierite the terms Of
a new compact, they would not agree TO IL.
Therefore it is war declared for all ultimate
results that can come, and spit upon the
Northern man who takes any position except
for the maintenance Of the Goucrnment
'Some of my fellow citizens of New York,
and some of my friends with whom quite
agree about the absence of any necessity to
violate the Constitution in the matter of ar
rests, or otherwise, undertake TO talk TO Inc
about freedom of speech being suppressed. l
would like TO know when the time was in the
history of this country, for the last twenty
years, that could have dared to say in the city
of Charleston what a Southerner could say
with impunity in this town?r

A CATHOLIC ORGAN ON SLAvERY.-The
Catholic Telegraph, of Cincinnati, edited by
Rev. Edward Purcell, brother to Archbishop
Purcell, publishes all editorial in its issue of
the 26th inst, in which the cowardice of those
people who are frightened by the term "Aboli-
zionist" is exhibited in the most scathing Ian
guage. The Telegraph says, speaking of sav-
cry:
I'VE never raised hand againstit; no word
of any Catholic editor assailed il, so long as it
would be unjust and Illegal to do so: but now
that it is dead-dead by the act of its admirers
we will not consent to see its body fostering
on the highways.
"Let it be buried out of sight forever. Let
1t rest with all its horrors in the grave. Let
its memory fade from the recollection of men,
1t was an outrage against humanity such as
the history of no other people could exhibit.
There was something manly in the old custom
of reducing to slavery him whose sword had
been beaten down by stronger arm on the
battle field; there was show OF justice in re-
ducng to bondage the debtor who could not
pay his creditor; but for American slavery
there was no excused 1t was a monstrous
crime; from the seizure of the African in his
own land to the moment of his DEATH when his
body was wasted by toll, rather than disease,
to uphold the luxury of a master!
Well, it has fallen, and we are called aboli-
zionist, because we refuse our consent to its
resuscitation! We are proud of being called
so, under circumstances so creditable to the
mind and heart. May we ever deserve the
name! We will bear its stigma ioyfuly through
life, and carry it into eternity with honor. We
struggle in holy cause.-the cause of religion
and OF the human race"

Facts Worth Remembering.


While copperhead democrats are indulging
in their howls at the tyaanny of the Admins
tration, on account of its arbitrary arrests and
its emancipation policy, honest men will re-
member:
/. That the officer who issued the order to
suppress that traitorous sheet, the Chicago
Times, was Democratic General, while the
order was countermanded by President Lin
coin.
2. The order for the arrest of c. L. VAL
landigham was issued by u Democratic Com
mander, and writ of habeas corpus in VAL
landigham's behalf, was refused by Demo-
cratic Judge, an appointee of Andrew jack
son.
3. When a Democratic General had APP
proved Vallandigham's sentence to close con-
finement in Military prison, it was President
Lincoln who mitigated the sentence, simply
sending him South among his friends.
3. When Yallandigham was passed over to
the rebels through our lines, it was another
Democratic General who solemnly assured
him, if he attempted TO come back by the same
route he would hang him to the nearest tree.
5. The Commander who issued procla-
nation OF freedom to the slaves of Florida,
Georgia and South Carolina, was a Democrat,
and native of South Carolina, and his proc
lamation was set aside by President Lincoln.

Gen. JOHN A. LOGAN, one of the Vicks-
burg heroes, commander of the Egyptian for

Douglas, in recent speech said:
When we get the territory back, we Will have
the citizens back, and laws will be passed best adapt
ed to their interest at the time they That will
be the Constitution and Union. Ii these men are so
fond of the Constitution il is and the Union as it
was, that they want the Constitution in such condi
ton that the Congress of the United States will not
prohibit Jen Davis Toombs, and that crowd of trai-
tors from holding seats in the Congress of the United
States SO that they again break up the Govern
ment, am not for il. 1 am not for their holding
seats in Congress again in order go into conspi-
racy TO break up the Government The leaders in this
great conspiracy should never again be permitted to
have the same constitutional rights they had before

stored to the same rights then am for it, They
and differ there. II they that they willing
for these ntlemen in that part country to con-
troll this Government to hold lash over IT as they
have done heretofore, am not for that either. am

as il was mean that am for all the territory that

wants of the people, and passing such laws as are

IGNORANCE OF THE Poor WHITE TRASH

against the goyernment-the poor whites COM
prlsing the rank and file of the rebellion-nine-
tentns OF them do not know what they are
nghtihg Ior' 40 not know what they are fight
anything-and hundreds of them meyer saw
the American flag in their lives until they saw
it march into yicksburg in triumph. They do
not know the Fourth of July, or ANYTHING else
that is good. But poor and ignorant as thew
are, let them express their own free minds and
they will, almost TO man, demand a speedv
termination of this war-would submit to nj
most anything rather than fight one day longer
as they have been fighting. IL is only by he
force of bdyonets that their army Is kept to-
gether. Even that cannot prevent their de-
serters from focking into jackson by hun
