A conversation of some length en-
sued between the President and Judge
Wardlaw and Mr. Trescott as to the
legislation of the State necessary in
reference to the condition of the
freedmen, and the scope and conse-
quences of the Circular No. '15, and
General Orders No. 145 81 the Adju-
tant-General's Department, relative
to abandoned lands in South Carolina
and other Southern States. The ex-
animation of these subjects, it is un-
derstood, is to be continued at an
other interview
The President said: We must he
practical and come up to surrounding
circumstances.
Judge Wardlaw, Colonel Dawkins
and Mr.. Huger all expressed to the
President their conviction that their
State had accepted, in good faith, the
results of the issue which has been
made; that the people felt that the
President had stood between them
and harsh use of the power Of the
Government; that they felt entire
confidence in his purposes and ac-
tions, and hoped, in return, to entitle
themselves to his confidence as to
tier feelings and actions. The Pre-
sident replied that he was glad to
hear it; that wherever such mutual
confidence existed, there would, he
thought, be an open road to the resto-
ration of good feeling and'a prosper
GUS condition; and that if be knew.
himself, and thought he did, he
would recommend nothing but what
would advance their. interests. So
far from pandering to or looking to
future elevation, he must be believed
when he said he had no eye, single,
to such preferment. If, he continued.
l could be instrumental in restoring
the Government to its former rela-
.tlons, and see the people once more
united and happy, l should feel that
had more than filed the measure of
my ambition. If could feel that I
had contributed to this in any degree
my heart would be more than graft
fed and my ambition fully.
Judge Wardlaw-Every man in
South Carolina would respond to that.
MIR. Huger-I am sure there is. on
their part, no want of faith. They
deserve your confidence, and I am
sure they will earn it.
The President expressed himself
gratitied with what had beer. said by
these gentlemen.
Mr.. Dawkins remarked tha al!
South Caroline rcposed confidence in
the President, and that the memorials
presented by the chairman. of the
delegation represented the true senti-
ments OF the people of that State.
both in regard to those whom they
wish pardoned and the feeling and
position of South Carolina.

ECONOMY IN FUEL.-The rapid ap-
proach Of winter, and the. still more
rapid advance in the price of coal and
wood, are directing the attention of
the Southern people to many admir-
able inventions for the economical
use OF heating agents which have
been brought to perfection during the
last four years. To find some good,
cheap substitute for coal and wood,
and some labor-saving machine which
supplies the place of the old-fashion-
ed CRATE and the cumbrous stove, now
engages the most anxious thoughts Of
the impecunious Southern man.
The Richmond Times, says:
''In reading the accounts which
have recently appeared IN the Balti-
more papers of the many novel,
useful and attractive ARTICLES exhibit
ed at the Maryland Institute Fair,
our attention was arrested by the
favorable reports of the mechanical
inventions for economizing fuel.
The Petroleum Stoves, if the ac-
counts of their merits are to be Gre
dlted, must be the very things which
are needed at this time in town and
country, and yet we are not aware of
any agency in this State for their
sale. These stoves, the Baltimore
papers state, are heated by petroleum
or any description of coal oil, at o
cost not exceeding one and quarter
cents per hour, and they heat most
comfortably room eighteen feet

"The same stove can be used for
both heating and cooking purposes,

Avn Eloouent Appeal.


Our friend KELLY, well known in this region,
has revived the Fredericksburg Herald. one Of
the Oldest papers ia Virginia, and seems to have
acquired fresh intellectual vigor during the in
teryal q suspension. The following article, on
the subject of the Congressional elections in Vir-
ginia. states forcibly and truly the condition Of
the people Of the State when the tOesih Of war
was sounded in their ears, and the clash of arms
was'the prelude TO death and devastation But
the appeal win be vain. The dofninent nlajoy-
ity viii not, however, modifya singlcsentence in
the Congressional test oath, and therefore we
NAV expect the rejection Of at least two Of the
ablest Of the virginia delegation: eaiilS
+ The members Of Congress elected from Vir-
ginia are generally men who resisted the seces-
sion Of the State, until after the proclamation
of President Lincoln eallingout $4,000 men, ana
upon Virginia for her quota. Most OF theIn'
indeed. if not all, continued their teaity TO the
United States Government until after "the bat
tie had begun" They preferred the Union,
and stuck 10 it until the South was crimsoned
with the blood Of sons, ncighbors, and friends
till the desolatiOns Of war were 60 be read III
unsiehtly piles Of brick and mortar-when
stricken households Of old men, women and
children were to be seen flying as, fugitives,
without food, without shelter. We are willing
10 rest the question with the devotee to the
Union in the North, if, under such circumstan-
ces. it was in the nature of flesh and blood to
forget olden time friendships, and the instincts
of a common humanity, and feel no sympathy
for those who were thus bereft of home, and
wandering as fugitives Let the North clear
its own skirts in the matter Of sectional feeling
There were men in the Federal army who vot-
ed States rights in Congress, who talked States
rights from the stump, who educated the mas
ses in States rights through the press. When
however, the issue was joined, when the battle
was made up, the sympathies of their nature
led them to fall in with their particular section
and they were found in deeds to be among the
most active prosecutors Of the war. We trust
then, now that the war is over, now that We
are seeking to establish tranquility at home
that Congress will receive the members cleo
from the South, without requiring any stultify'
ing test oath; without any attempt to degrade
"for the offence Of human sympathy" If the
oath of the last Congress is legal, and conse-
quently operative over the body just elected
let the powerful majority, in the exercise O
true manlinessy repeal that which surely canno
add to coneilatory feeling, nor strengthen the
the bonds of the compact. Let our member:
feel that they are there on the basis Of equality
and that the right to a seat there does not In
volve the abnegation of every feeling of human
sympathy for children, friends, and the once
''sunny South" lral ~
