AFFAIRS AT CHARLESrON-''REsELS,' TAKING THE
oArH-nIE NEW ORDER OF THINGS.
We clip the following from the Charleston CORES
pondeuce of the New York Times dated 9Th inst
II presents some OF the features of subugation:
Under the ncw or,lcr of things the people of
Charleston are gradually coming 10 their senses
and eviuGe disposition To make the city once more
the leading trading mart AOr this section of the
country. When first tookp possession the citizens
were shy, and hesitated about making their appear
ance on the streets, but now they come forth ia
SNarluS and of the majority of them profess
To be- on he side OF the CTion.
Some of the citizens still cling to the hope that
the Government will eventually succeed in
tabliShng itself ti.m basis, but the same citi-
zens are laughed and ieered at by their more wise
neighhors.
King street is alive with business. One is aston
shud L. see how much suffers and other traders
have taken stores and exposed goods for sale. The
stores are doing all excellent business, too. From
morning Till night they ars thronged with custom
ers. The great Trouble rs that majority Of the
citizens have rebel money only. They appreciate
che fdct that this money Is WOrthipssi Yet they
very reluctant 10 part with II without receiving
portion of an equiyale nj al return.
A change has recently been made la the com
mand OF the district. Brigader General John p.
Hatch is in command OF the Northern District, De
uartment Of the South, his predecessor, Krigadier
General SchiemmelIennig having been assigned to
the command OF the deiouceS about Charleston.
By recent order, all citizens desiring any favor
whatever from the Government are required 10 call
upon Provost Marshal Willoughby and take the oath
of allegiance. \ large number of citizens have,
consequently, availoi themselves of this Opportu-
nifty OF proving their loyalty TO the old Union
Among the number who have taken the oath OF al
al Lodi ia f.otf IN n-as -,
take the oath was lady. Several parties have eX-
pressed h,jr apprehension that ny taking the oath
they would be liable to be forced into the arnIynOt
discriminating between the wholesale CONSUMPTION
of the rebels aud the system OF draft observed by
ON own authorities. They do not take into con-
sideration the fact that any one who has we'd in
tile rebel rant cannot by established law, serve
Ia a military capacity under the nlted States GOA
eminent. am sorry to observe that many persons
who profess 10 be- Union, have shown reluctance
to take thr oath Of N!legsnce. They protfer all
manner ct excuses, which simply mean that they
are about "a much rebel as Uuion in their compost
ton. Under the present regime, the people OF
Charleston can take their chOice-idcntiiy them
selves as niOnistS or rebels.
MAJ. GeH. Gilmore came rp from Hilton Head
Yesterday. Since his arrival in the department he
has been on the constant move. On one day we lind
HIM al Savannah, and. on the following day al
Charleston, OF sGnIa other point on the coast. Ry
some means the people of Charleston always know
when Gen. GilinOre arrives in iown. The lnomenl
his flagship touches the pier group OF citizens are.
sure to make their appe france and extend him a
hearty welcome. Ii Is curious TO notice the inter
est that the people take in informing each other of
the fact that Gen. Gilmore had arrived. When he
appears the street, wemSre assured Of his pres
ence by the remarks thNsare made by those who
espy him. One will say there goes Cen Gilmore
the man who gave us so much uneasineSS; and an
other will reaTk, there passes the officer vino Dies
troyad our city. All seem to l0ok upon him as an
officer worthy Of their particular attention.
From letter in the Tribune We take the follow.
ing
Sunday was day Of jubilee at all the colored
churches. General Littleheld and Mr.. Redpath, of
Boston, addressed all the congregations on their
positions and dHtes to their race aud country
The colOred people say that there have been no
such scenes witnessed in these churches during
living memory. The speakers made very radical
anti-siavery ad lreSseS, and were listened to with
the utmost cage rness Bursts of JOY, shouts of
thanks to God, laughter, tears-eveTy human emo
tiOn seemed to be moved to their depths. One of
the speakers, after shaking hands with nearly all
the congregation before he got halfway down the
alley, was astonshcd by being suddenly Rugged by
one old cQlored lady, whose grateful enthusiasm
exceeded her sense of the severe prOpreties of
such occasions. / can vOuch foe the truth OF this
story bat prefer 10 decline 10 state which one OF
these gentlemen was thus uniquely distinguished.
RELATIONS BETWEEN THE BRITISH PRovINcEs AND
TIN UNITED sTATEs--TBE CONFEDERATION SCHEME.
Mutual plantations, it is said, have taken place
between the Governments of Great Britainand tbs
United States, which have resulted in a resembling
OF the passport order OF the 18th Of December, 81
far as relates 10 the Province of Canada aud in an
understanding that under present circum ST ances,
and notwithstanding the notice lately given IN that
respect the naval force OF the United StatOs upon
the upper lakes shall be the same which was slip
ulated by the treaty OF April, 1917.
The Otri IAN English paper says it is probable
that her Majesty's Government will not take any
measure to place naval force on the Canada laKes,
as the Government at Washington had explained
that action in this matter las been entirely Of
temporary character.
The entire anti-confederation ticket has beer
elected in New Brunswick by large majority
