The want of money or circulating medium can

In short time money, which is supcrabnndant IN

SSTcr the collapse of the so-callcd Cone,leracy
nc Southern States were left in most anomalous
condition in reference to their monetary affairs.
The gold and silver had been exported az an arti-
were ali broken and their bills driven out of cir

course, vauclcss This left the South without amy
kind of money or 4 circulating medium: Eight
millions of people, i'll high state of civilization

money or the means Of exchange, except by barter,
Gloomy tho present may seem, the future
will be bright and glorious NothuS is over likely
to occur again to mar the harmony of tho Union.
| The great Of diEscnSon between the two
sections has been removed There are no rival
| interests. The North and the South mutually
necessary to each other, and all the pursuits Of
the one are dependent on those OF tho other; The
| United States, as WHOLE combine all the elc
mcnts of national prosperity and greatness in
higher degree than any other people on the face
| of the earth No empire in the world ever united
in so eminent degree the three great sources OF
| independence, power and wealth agriculture,
commerce and manufactures. AS long as civiliza-
tion continues, this great Republic will flourish
| and increase in numbers, wealth and grandeur
1t can only crumblc and break into fragments
when ignorance and darkness shall have peryaded
the land.
South Carolina, MS an integral part Of this great
power, must partakc OF it's richness and prosperity
The abolition of slavery will give new energy and
sefreliance to her people, stimulate industry, and
promote economy in all tho yocations OF life. In
less than ten years we shall realize i'll the loss Of
slavery blessing in disguise to ourselves and our
children.
In resuming her allegiance to the United States,
| I know that South Carolina does SO in good falth
| and with perfect sincerity to her plighted honor
As she was the first to lead off i'll this great and
most unfortunate secession movement, it now be-
comes her duty to set bright example of loyalty
to the other Southern States, in returning to the
Union, and cheerfully performing all the obliga-
tions to the Federal Government. Sho will re-
ceive, in return, from that Government, restora-
tion of all her civil and political rights as sovcr
| eign State, with general amnesty for the past.
You should be careful to do all that is necessary
to aid the President in carrying out his wise and
which may tend to cmbarrass him i'll that policy
or impede the restoration of the State to the Fed
cral Union tits o remarkable fact that the brave
men who have impcriled their lives and made
every sacrifice in war; forthe last four years, are
promptly and cheerfuily acqucscing i'll its results,
and made less sacrifices are less inclined to nc-
ouesce in the inevitable results of that war.
4 I have the qualification of informing you that
the policy have pursued in my administration VI
the Provisional Government of the State has met
the entire approval OF the President and he has
directed the military authorities not to interfere
with that policy but to aid and assist me i'll carry
ing it out have likewise the pleasure Of com
municatines TO you that very recently had an in
tcrvcw with Maior-G General Meade, commanding
the Atlantic States, and MaJor-Gener9l Gilmore,
commanding .he Department oil South Carolina
in reference to seeming conflict between the
civil and military authorities of the State; and
that all difficulties were satisfactorily arranged
The civil law the courts, and civil officers Of the
State are restored, and their functions will not be
interfered with by the military authorities except
in cases where freedmen and persons OF color arc
concerned. These cases have been assigned t.
the Courts Of the Provost Marshals for adjudica-
ton, till the completion Of the Presidents policy
of reconstruction. All other cases will be heard
and decided by the civil and municipal courts
der and according to the laws of South Carolina.
It is also u source of conSratulation to know
that the coloIcd troops, whose atroclous conduct
has disgraccd the service and filed the public
mind with the most horrible apprehensions, have
been withdrawn from the interior Of the State, and
arc to be placed in garrisons on the coast where
they can do no further mischief In all Of my
pc rsonal interviews with the President, and in al
OF my dispatches to him, urged this course most
earnestly. The white troops are, believe, doing
their du;y benetciGlly to the country, in prescrv
ing the peace and good order of the State. It is
thought that their presence amongst us for some
time yet will be necessary, i'll order to enforce the
relative duties of the freedmen and their employ
ers.
Almighty to watch over your deliberations, and
direct Your actions in every particular, to the best
interests, honor and glory OF our beloved State:
B. F. PERRY.
