SOUTH CAROLINA'S HUMILIA-
TT0N,
WILL. II. 1OWDERMtL

-Four years since South Carolina stood fortl
in all her arrogance defying the Federal gov
eminent, disobcying its laws, taking forcibl
possession of its property, and declaring her
self free from all obligations to the ''hatcc
Union" She ihsulted the national flag, and
mperillcd the lives of loyal citizens. Sic
repudiated her debts, and laughed to scorn all
demands for justice She had ito interests in
common with the ''mudsills" and hailed with
every demonstration of joy the severance Of
her conte&ion with greasy operatives who
were unfit to be Southern gcntleman's body
servants" They secuted at the idea that
the Northern "hcrd' would oppose with
force their unholy proceedings, and even sup
posing such should be the case, were no. they
the "chivalry," the Great NIoguls Of the New
World and eosld they not put to fight the
entire host by mere flourish of their terrible
blades? They feared not the world, these
cons Of chivalry--and their favorite boast was
that they would rather die than yield to Yam
kcc rule.
These South Carolinans have ever been
moral and political burden upon the govern
ment. They have ever advocated Southern
supremacy, have ever snccrcd at Northern in
dustry, and have ever believed in the Divine
right of slavcholding. The teachings of CAL
HouNwerc fondly nourshed BY ,hcsc enemies of
the Union, and they drunk in the principles Of
treason as eagerly as does babe IFS niJthe.'s
milk. They had painted for the assertion of
the supreme sovereignty of South Carolina
until they became monomaniacs, and gave
abundant evidence of il in their mad opposi-
tion to "thc powers that bo"
What is tue condition of South Carolina to-
day! What harvest has she rcapcd from the
seed she has sown? See her us she lies
drenchod in the blood of her own children;
hear the wall of agony that goes up from the
dcsolate hcarthstones of thousands of mothers.
sisters, wives, and orphans Her cities are
in ruins, her fields, once rich in abundant
crops, are bowling wastes her citizens are des-
titutc, her credit is lost, and she is stepped to
the eyes in nfamy. A just reward for so
great crimc-a terrible lesson for traitors
wherever they may be.
To complete their humiliation, VIC had be-
fore us few days since the spectacle of del
egation Of the elite of that suffering State,
standing IN the presence of President
JonSsos, begging to- be allowed 70 return to
the allegiance they so h-tcd. and ret.acting
all the abonriuable keresics of their past lives,
praying for protection, and promising obedi-
ence in the future 1t was II strange cvent
and will live in history "to tell the punish
ment Of rebellion and its shame"

passengers are taken across the Catawba in

cars for fifty miles further. Then from Chcs-

AN OATH FOE OFFICE HOLDERS.

The amnesty oath has hitherto been con
sidcred all that was necessary to restore thu
late Rebels to citizenship and there is no dout
that it will insure them all tile rights which
they previously held, if they do not Belong te
the excepted classes, but the right Of holding
office. Events have occurred with SO hitch
rapidity IN this country, within the last four
years, that iiijich of our legislation has been
forgotten Hence, until recently, notice was
not taken that by an act of Congress, passed
July 2, 1862 obstacles were placed in the way
Of ceessionists assuming official duties, which
will prevent large numbefs of persons in the
Southern States from taking upon themselves
the labor Of restoration. The oath in ques-
ton was brought somewhat prematurely be-
fore the people some month, ago, by the eff
forts of Senator Bayard, of Delaware; to evade
tie necessity of taking it. He was asked to
do so, which he did, and then resigned. The
act In question is as follows
