A despatch from Washington, dated

ST lerable delay in the appointment oi
a Provisional Governor for South Car
olina. The delegation here do not al
represent the Uuionists Of the State,
the few there are to represent. One,
who aims to be the giver Of advice TO
President Johuson, has declared in
Charleston that he 'wished.the Yan.
KEGS had bnt one throat that he might
cut it, 4Apother declared that he
would burn Ills house rather ti,a,.
hat y damned Yankee shoull ro'!ute
1t with his presence;' and so on through
the entire list. 1t is likely, therefore.
that South Carolina will! be suffered to
l.e "u% i" the COLI for the present.
DR.. a. 6. Mackev. he newly ap.
pointed Collector at Charleston, has
returned TO the city after his visit TO
West Point, and is showing up tins
pseudo South Carolins delegation in
vivid coiors. He charges that the
men composing the delegation pow
ere were original seces>ipnlsfs. They
admit it to be true. aud attempt no
conceaiment. Col Yates, of the dele
CATION, entered Fort Sumter in,!ne i
a.eiy after its evacuation by Major
Anderson, and remained in the rebel
military service uniil he surrender Of
ice Johnston. Others Of the dele
CATION voted and acted as con>!s. ent
secessionis,s throughout. They are
nov here Welding themselves
defeated and subjuga,ed. They ask
nothing. but pardon and early action
IN appointing civil officers. I'h.. STATE
is at present without law, its ciyzens
are completely humbl-d, fearful pr,-
portion of them are literally destitute
Ct all means Of support and sta,v:iG.
ell manner Of law.-sSness and crime 3
a|arm;ngly on the Increase, and the
only hope for public or pri:a,e virtue
is adiniuedsto lie ia the protection ot
Federal law. The names cs *
Congressman William w. Boycc aud
NJ. McAllley, are amo!.g those <l.b-
lnlt,ed by the delegation as certain to
give entire satisfaction to the State,
ait!ourh they disclaim all desire to
influence the Presidents appointment.
1t can be said in Mr.. Bo. ce's :avoy
that he disagreed with a majority Of
South CAroliuisns. and declared ior
peace q year ago. Mr.. McAli,ey voted
against secession in tue outset, anu,
IKE Gov. Aiken, held aloot thgough~
out The war. There is evidently very
little sympathy between these Delegates
and Mr.. M,c4:ey, whose loyalty is
accepted oy the North without qncs-
tion. The delegation is to have al.
other hearing on Saturday.
The South Carolina delegation are
to have another interview with tie
President Tomorrow, when they VII
urge he views OF the sece>h luy:,li.ts
OF that State in regard to reco, s;ruc-
ton. They are not likely to have
much. iluence in shaping the ron.sc
