General Grants losses, from the time

NOTES FROM CONGRESS.

Theories of ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of
West virginia 49, Frederick County
Wants In.
We are permitted to make the follow
ing extracts from letter written by
Hon. C. d. Hubbard, our member
of Congress, under date of 4th inst:
~
"The House was organized without
much delay, Brooks, of New York,
making AN Intellectual effort to have the
names of the members from Tennessee
and Virginia placed ON the roll, L am
not fully satisfied with the resolution
adopted in reference to the secededStates.
There seemed TO be no alternative, how
ever, and those entitled to seats may
more readily obtain them through the
Committee thnn by Il direct appeal to
the House. l fear, however, that
stevens, who is the author of the resO--
luton, and others, have not given up
their territorial idea, and that there is
more behind il. rr
"Some Of our friends are little anx-
ious as to the status of West Virginia,
IN case the territorial theory prevails.
But l contend we are equally safe on
either theory. If the seeded States
are regarded as conquered territory.
then we are u State erected out of that
territory, rs Stevens indicated in his
speech on the admission of the new
state, which Congress could of right do.
IL the StutcS are still States in the
Union, and have never been out, then
We must stand by the restored govern
ment of Virginia and claim our Iegiti-
macy through that.
The first theory, which would regard
us as conquered territory, is not very
complimentary to our loyalty and de-
votion TO the Union on which we have
provided ourselves, and which history
viii accord to us; nevertheless il cannot
deprive ms of ourintegrity in the Union.
- There is a delegation here
from Frederick county trying to get
TO the new State. i would DO glad to
help them, if possible; but it seems to
me out of the power of Congress to in
terteTe, except on the Territorial theory.

of the State is $4,000 the availa-
BILE assets are 81, 200, 600. The interest

a tax or license for taking oysters in
the waters OF Virginia. He suggests
the sale of the State investment in rail
road stocks and bonds, which would
relieve the State of Sl5, 1000, 600 of debt.
and promote the efficiency of the rail-

Virginia are specially commended to

Life in Charleston.
New YORK, Oct. 22.-The Herald has
Charleston dates to the 18th. The day
of the election in South Carolina for
Governor and members of the Legisla-
ture, General Bennett issued an order
prohibiting any army officer in any man
her interierlng with it and forbidding
| the presence OF soldiers in the vicinity of
the polling places.
The working men of Charleston held a
meeting on the 10th inst, at which they
adopted an address to their fellow citi-
gems, and nominated Wade Hampton for
Governor In this address they express
their belief that the destruction of sla
very will ultimately prove great bene-
fit to all the people of the State and es-
! pecially to the working man, as it will
tend to free him from the nonopolization
of capitalists aud dignity labor
The hostile attitude toward each 9th
er, in some parts of South Carolina, of
the whites and blacks, is represented as
assuming phase threatening serious re-
suits, unless the difficulties are speedily
adjusted Especially is this the case
along port ons of the coast, upon the sea
islands, where the negroes have been es-
tablished on the abandoned plantations,
subject to the control of the officers of
the Freedmen's Bureau. The planters
who, now that the rebellion has been
crushed, are anxious to gain possession
of their lands, allege that the freedmen
are allowing them to 60 to ruin, do not
raise enough for their own maintenance,
are totally neglecting preparations for
next years crop, and yet refuse to give
up possession to the whites. South Car
olinians are considerably iDcensed against
the Freedmen's Bureau officials, whom
they charge with encouraging the he.
groes in their assumptions. 1t is prin-
cipally with the object of endeavoring
to adjust these difficulties that General
Howard, Chief Of the Bureau of Freed.
men, is now on visit to South Carolina.
The General arrived in Charleston on
Tuesday last, by the overland ronte from
Raleigh, n. c., and left the next day for

probably did it like Sumner swore to
support the constitution, with mental
reservation"
We have aimed to give report of the
affair as it occurred, but there was much
confusion and when both were talking at
once it was impossible to report what
each said. The language is given mere
ly from recollection and while it is in sub.
stance correct, it may not be literally SO.
The general opinion seemed to be that
Trainer had no right, under the circum-
stances, to address the meeting at length.
A brief personal explanation, or the ap-
pointment of meeting, by an opponent,
is always allowable of course, but it is
not allowable, either by usage or COM
mon politeness, for a candidate to en-
deavOr to take possession of q meeting
called by his opponent and seek to cram
his own peculiar ideas down the throats
of an audience assembled for different
purpose. At any rate, that style don't
suit Sherrard Clemens, and we doubt
whether Mr. Trainer will try it on again.
