DESPAIR OF THE South CARoLNIANs.-Onc Of
the national officers just released from con-
6nement in Charleston city reports that no
one oan imagine how utterly used up aud
hopeless the rebellion Is who has not spent,
"a be has done, some months in its very
cradle. The sufsrings OF the people are be-
yond belief, and, whatever their Northern SYM
pathizers may thiak or pretend to think,
they themselves are in the lowest abyss Of des-
pair, and utterly infuriate against The Richmond
tyranny under which they grosn. They are in
want OF the pecessaries Of life, and there il not
an able-bodied man or boy in all South Caro-
lima who has not been ruthlessly sonscripted
The same sficer reports the "benbardment or
Charleston kept up by Gen. Foster from Nor
ris Island, to be an utter failure. One she'll
burst in the yard Of the prison In which the
national officers we're cenfaed on the very
morning Of their release; but, with this excep.
ton, they knew nothing Of the so-callsd siege
He expresses the confident belief-and he is an
old soldier, OF the highest reputation that for
every one thousand dollars expended in shot,
shell and ordnance material BY Gen. Fss.er

OF fifty dollars. The only persons killed by IL
are women and children, walking or playing ia
the streets. The soldiers, who should be hurt
by II, are all safe in their classmates and uuder
bombproon. How long is this wasteful, cruel
farce-to the folly Of which the HsaALD drew
attention more than eight months ago-to 20 on.

ENLISTMENT OF NE0RoEs SoUrH.-We have
always considered that negroes born South and
acclimatcd would be of moro service In their
own sections than in being enlisted under
Northern State authorities to fll the quotas Of
such States. and subjected to duty in any part
of the country. A general order issued by
General Batter, very recently, prohibits the
taking Of negroes from his department for en-
listrent in other StAtss. This squelches at
once the Massachusetts, movement in regard to
negro enlistnents In tho South, movement
which commenced under many 6attering aus
pieces. What will Massachusetts, now say TO
her favorite son, General Butler!

The CONGRESSIONAL REPRESENTATIVES OF
GREAT CIrIss.-It is q remarkable fact that the
principal cities Of the country, and particularly
New York and Philadelphia, are, as general
rule, always represented in Congress by the
smallest specimens OF legislative nobodies that
esuld be picked cut in the House OF Representa-
tives; but rarely has that popularity been 30
prominent az during the past session. Two Of
the men who had the honor Of representing
this city were anxious enough to make speeches
whenever they had On opportunity 10 do SO;
but, no matter what the subject under discus
sion was, each OF them harped upon the one idea.
With Fernando Wood II was Submission 10 the
rebels; with the sapient Brooks it was the
amours Of Treasury official. But, with these
two exceptions, New York was dumb 10 the
national councils; and it might have been better
for her reputation If there had been no such
exceptions. Peace speeches on the part of one
member, and stories Of the doings of an antique
Don Juan on the part Of the other, were net very
we'll calculated to make up for the dwelling
hnbecility Of the rest Of the New York delega-
ton.
Is Il always to be 90, Are the mighty int.
rests Of this great metropolis, with its popula-
ton Of over . million, with its great wealth,
intelligence and activity, to be committed in
variably to the keeping Of such nonentitics as
Tammany Hall and Mozart Hall and other po-
litical clubs may choose to designate for us!
We hope not but we do not see a single step
taken 10 put an end TO the evil and disgrace.
While the system Of primary elections is sus-
tanned by the people, no great city can ever be

portion of Its space to talk about 'eacs' =
does not repudiate and ridicule the NiagSSs ne
gotiators as the other Richmond papers dSai
neither does it indulge in the hifalutin Ledger
rhetoric attributed to Davis by Mr.. Gilmore.
II aptly compares Mr.. Lincoln's letter to cir
cumstance in Lalla Rookh In that poem the
yelled prophet horrifes his followers one day
by giving them a glimpse Of his frightful fea-
tures-just such glimpse as Lincoln's letter
gives to the people of his purposes. We thought
we honored pure prophet, whose face was
yelled from unworthy mortals because the light
Of divinity was on it. We thought we were
fighting for the honor Of our glorious Stars and
Stripes, and to put down rebellion that would
destroy our country. But We find that this face
was yelled only because it was SO marked with
crime and sin that the sight Of it would fright
en- even the most infatuated Of worshppers.
We find that we are fighting only to carry out
the programme Of q corrupt clique of freedom
shriekers.
But this Sentines-this organ of JET Davis

How Much IT HAS CosT TO MAKE WENDELL
PHILLIPS HAPPY.-More than half a million
niggers who three years ago, were fed by
planters on hog and bominy are now fed by the
United States on hard tack and salt horse. To
bring about this change in. the condition of
these piggers it has cost the United States
about five thousand dollars and the life Of one
white man per niger. Has the change in the
condition Of the niggers been Of any advantage
to them commensurate with this price? No.
No one can pretend that the sake wretches
were not in all respects better as they were
But we have gained one great point by this
change-we have made Wendell Phillips

A CHAMPION FOR Communications A..
X. Mcclure comes out In long letter to the
Philadelphia Press as the champion Of the
people Of Chambersburg, who did not run
away, who did want TO light, and who would
have fought II they had not run away, accord
ing to Colonel McClure's story. In the course
OF his letter We nnd this elegant sentenco:--
THAT the Satanic HERALD should defame and
falsify, under ANY circumstances, surprises no
one.n
Here are few facts 10 regard to Mcclure,
which come 10 us from a reliable source, and
which show pretty concluHvsly how much de-
pendsnce Is 70 be placed upon the statements OF
his Press romance. This Mcclure was among
the nrst to leave Chambersburg when the
rebels appeared. lie mounted platform car,
crowded with negroes, aud was the only white
man on that train. He took with him his
silver ware presented to him by the sunbury
and Erie Railroad Company, but left bis wife
behind. He expected Der to take care Of the
rest OF the property, because she had saved II
once or twice before. Now IL seems TO us that
Mrs Mcclure Is the person to bear Testimony
to the bravery asd The manliness OF the Cham
bersburg people. The gallant Colonel was
not there, aud sas NJ right to speak about it.

Of Charleston, who, it will be remembered,
exchanged correspondence with the late
Archbishop Hughes on the subject Of the war,
ID now in Rome In a special diplomatic oapa-
city; but 1t does not appear that he has
preached the question OF politics ct all, but
confined himself simply to his duties as dig
nitary Of the church. Then we are told that
his Holiness, when solicited to sond his photo
graph to some New York charitable fair, wrote
on the back, In the Latin tongue, the words
"Put thy sword into its sheath, and the God or
peace will be With thee" This motto would
be equally appropriate on either side OF Mason

CANDIDATES FOR GovERSoR-It seems that
some democrats are putting up the name of
Judge Barnard as candidate for Governor
OF this State; and we understand that the
Judge, like another Justice Greedy, is going
Among politicians and pleading for votes in this
way;--"Mr. Singer, you belong to Tammany,
don't YOU. "Yes," replies Singer "Do you
know I'm can idate for Governor mo;
you candidate for tssyernor'" "Yes." "Weu,
never should have believed it if you had not
told me yourself" Now, If Judge Barnard or
Justice Greedy, chooses to go around among po-
litcians and impart this important Information,
"not received by telegraph" we have no objes
ton. But we have a candidate OF our own for
Governor. II is Judge Russell who has fought
the fight of opposition to corruption for a quar-
ter of century, who has overcome low
lived and miserable faction by his mssterly
course upon the bench, and whose ability as a
jurist has recently been prominently distin-
guished by certain decisions. He adds
honor to the bench, and would confer re-
spectabilty and dignity upon the gubernatorial
chair. We put Judge Russell against Judge
Barnard, or Justice Greedy, confident that he
will make better Governor, as be now does a
better judge, than Barnard He adds dignity to
the bench. whereas Barnard detracts from both
its dignity and gravity by vulgar habit Of
picking his teeth when he has important legal
questions to consider and determine.

Two Momentous Objects.

The New York Times, noticing the
defeat in Congress Of the proposed
amendment to the Constitution for the
abolition of slavery, says the Union
party has two momentous objects be-
fore it; the reelection OF President
Lincoln, so as to insure that the war
shall be prosecuted until the last reb.
ell soldier lays down his arms, and the
election of two.thirds of the members
Of the next Congress. 90 a. to give
the States authority to entertain the
amendment abolishing all slavery in
the land forever. With proper effort,
the party will just AZ surely secure
this end in Congress a. that belonging
to the Executive. Tho anti-slavery
issue is every way as favorable to the
party as the incorporating war
issue.
