Observation-Disclosures Condition OF the
City.
A. correspond ,nt of the Boston Ad-
oertiser writes as follows from Charles
ton:
YANKEES AND soUTHERNERs
1t was noted on the steamship by
which l came here from New York
that, leaving out the foreign element,
our passengers we're from Charleston,
and from Massachusetts,. We had
nearly as many Boston men as
Charleston men. One of the Charles
ton merchants said to me that when
he went North, the passengers we're
almost equally divided between Mas
,sachusetts and South Carolina, and
be added that in Eastern Massachu-
setts, where he speat some days, he
found many men who were coming to
Charleston. OF our Massachusetts,
men, some are already in business
here, and others came on to s'see the
lay of the land as one OF them said.
'Ihats all right" observed an ex-
IeDei captain, IN one OF our .after-
d1nner chats, ''that's all right; let's
have Massachusetts and South Caro-
Ina brought together, for they are
the only two States that amount to
anything" 81 hate all you Yankees
most: heartily, in general sort Of
Eay,'' remarked another Of these
Southerners, 'sbut I find you clever
enough personally, and [ expect it'll
be good thing for US to have you
come down here with your money.
though it'll go against the grain with
US pretty badly"
There are many Northern men
here already-not much Northern So
clety, for but few Of the men have
their wives here. I took long walk,
yesterday, with a former Charles
tonlan-am man who had left here in the
frst year of the war, and returned
soon after our occupation of the city.
You Northern people, " said he, care
making great mistake in your treat
ment OF the South. We are tho
roughly whipped; we give up slavery
forever, and now we want you to quit
reproducing us; let us back into the
Union, and then come down here and
help us build up the country and
make the South what God intended
she should be-" And as we walked,
ne pointed out and named the 'sNorth-
ern houses branches of old houses
ID Boston and NeY York, new houses
built up and working by Northern
capital and energy. On King street,
the street of retail trade, in distance
of half q dozen blocks, at least one
third the stores were classed by him
as <'Northern,'" and not a few of them
bear names well known in Boston.
On Meeting street, where the whole
sale trade congregates, in some
blocks, almost every house is new,
and from the North.
YANKEE EMOTIONS.
Every little variation from, the old
order ofthings excitcs the comment

sometimes good-natured qperulous-
ness, and sometimes q sharp spice of
contempt, Stopping a moment this
afternoon in store where were three

another, :::but how handy it is.'' To
bling here the conveniences and com :,
forts Of our Northern civilization, nc
less than to bring here the Northern
idea of right and wrong, justice and
injustice, humanity and inbumanity,
is the, work ready for the hand of
every New England man and woman
who stands. waiting. There is much
Prejudicgto overcome, and some of
it is bitter and aggravating; but the
measures OF success won by Northern
men already in the field, is an earnest
of the reward of others. Self-interest
