The Charleston Courier of the 18th says
The l65th New York Zouaves, who were re-
moved to Morris Isl4nd for taking part 10
the disturbance in the city, have exhibited
mutinous spirit since their removal. Gen.
Gilmore sent an order demanding the colors
OF the regiment but the Colonel refused to
give them up. He was placed under arrest
and the colors demanded of the second officer
in command, He too refused but on Gen.
Hatch explaining that his conduct would be
mutiny, while the Colonel would simply be
disobedience of orders be promised the colors.
A delivery was made when it was found that
only the staff and rubber covers had been de-
livered. 1t was then determined to disarm
the whole regiment other troops were brought
forward. Guns charged with grape and can
mister and trained upon the mutinous troops
and orders given to fire hem in case any re-
sistance was offered. The ZJuavts seeing
all further opposition was useless quietly
stacked their arms and marched under guard
to Fort Sumter, there to expiate their crimes.
A friend of Gov. Perry, and apparently by
his authority, has caused the publication OF a
communication, in which he says that three
days before the meeting at Greenvile, S. c.,
Gov. Perry was appointed Provisional Gov
lernor, and that the latter at that time was
not only uniformed of his appointment, but
had not the remotest idea that such an honor
was to be conferred upon him,
The purpose Of Gov. Perry, in bis address,
the writer says, was to show the people OF
South Carolina the great mistake they made
in seeding, the ruinous consequences to their
beloved state, and humiliation and degrade
ton to which they had reduced her, boldly
declaring that they had cause for seeding,
and were in danger from the election of Mr..
Lincoln, The writer says it is not true, as
J stated in some of the newspapers, that the
Governor feels personally any humiliation in
coming back into the Union, for he had no
agency in going out of the Urion, but that
be has feeling tor his state. Gov. Perry en-
treats the Southern people in terms OF earn
estness to become loyal citizens and repudiate
forever, and teach heir children to repudiate,
the political heresies which have ruined their
country.
private letter letter from gentleman in
Savannah says he is strongly of the opinion
tnat few years wilt Disclose a wonderful nd
profitable change in the condition, both tenn
poral and spiritual of that part of the country.
Georgia resources are but beginning 10 be de-
veloped not the three-hundredth part of het
, soil has been titled. She has the finest yell
low pine timber in the country. Hear mine
raj wealth hardly touched. Iron and bitumi-
noas coal abound copper, lead, aud silver
and gold are found. War has done much
toward breaking up the supineness of large
portion Of her people. Good farming can take
from two to three crops off the same land the
same season, with less labor than it costs "a
produce one in the North Land is bought
at from s. to S25 per acre, and large tracts
at lower prices. White marble, of fine quail
ty, is abundant; slate equal to that of Wales.
Many of shermans army, while in Georgia,
expressed a determination to return and settle
in it.
Gen. Saxton has within his present dis
trict over a hundred thousand negroes. He
I claims that all these are now absolutely self
sustaining, save those swept in the wake OF
{ Sherman's march. Even the rations issued
to these are charged TO them, and the thrifty
negroes maze all haste quit leaning on the
government lest their debt should swell to
too great proportion. Most of the older set
tied negroes, who were originally dependant
on government support, have already repaid
the advances thus made them, and many have
besides accumulated what is for them a hand
some competence.
