When the late Ex-Governor Adams re-
corh snded, in one of his annual mes
sages. the revival of the African slave
trade, Mr.. Perry took distinct ground
against the measure, and with him concur
red a large majority of the Legislature.
He was in favor of South Carolina being
represented in the Democratic National
Convention, and was one of forty men,
bers of the General Assembly who signed
an appeal to the people to that effect in
1859. He was a member of the Conven-
ton which met in Charleston in April,
1860; and when the various delegations
seeded from that body, and even his own
colleagues he remained alone and contin-
ued with its deliberations untilits adjourn
ment.
We arc not aware that Mr.. Perry, dur
ing the troubles of the past four years, has
taken any prominent part in affairs. On
the election of Judge Magrath to the Of
fee of Governor last fall, we believe Mr.
Perry was. appointed Confederate Judge.
In his profession Mr.. Perry has been
eminently successful, and ranks among
the abIost lawyers of the State. He is q
man Of study and reflection. Although
differing from the State on most of the
past political issues, he is yet animated
by warm love of her people, and an ar
dent desire for their welfare. Strong in
his convictions of right, and earnest and
iimmovable in their maintenance, he is at
the same time without political vindictive-
ness or partizanship. In manners 4lc is
courteous and dignifed-in character
without reproaoh or Standardization

Antony and Cleopatra.

The following exquisite poem was written
Brig. Gen. W. H. LyTTLE, of the Federal Arm
Who was killed at Chicamauga. He was less
5oet than soldier, and the following lines EMIT
lin to rank among the foremost:
am dying, Egypt, dying,
Ebbs the crimson life tide fast,
And the dark Plutonian shadows,
Gather on the evening blast;
Let thine arm, 0 Queen, support, me,
Hush thy sobs and bow thine ear,
Hearken to the great heart secret,
Thou, and thou alone, must hear.
Though my SCARED and veteran legions,
Bear their eagles high no more,
And my wrecked and scattered galleys,
Strew dark Actium's fatqA shore,
Thoughpo gittering guafas-surround me,
Promp. to do their masters will,
/ must perish like Roman,
Die tho great Triumyir still.
Let not Ceasar's seryile minions,
Mock che lion thus laid low,
Twas no foeman's hand that slew him, :
Twas his own that struck the blow,
Hear, then, pillowed on thy bosom,
Ere his star fades quite away,
Him, who drunk with my caresses,
Madly threw world away.
And thea, star eyed Egyptian,
Glorious sorcerer of the Nile,
Light the path TO stygian horrors,
With the splendors of thy smile,
Give this Ceasar crowns end arches, :
Let his brow with laurel twine,
/ can scorn the Senates triumph,
Triumphing in love like thine.
1 am dying, Egypt, dying,
Hark the insulting foeman's cry,
They're coming-quck, my falchion!
Let Inc face them ere l die
Oh! no more amid the battle,
Will my voice exulting swell,
Isis and Osiris guard thee,
Cleopatra! Rome! Farewell.

Governor Holden has appointed a COM
mission consisting of Colonel J. M-Heck,
Kemp P. Battle and others, TO proceed to

ties on the subject of conhscation. The
tide Of emigration from the. free States

interests Of the State require that an un-
Outstanding should be reached as soon as
possible Hence the departure of the com
mission. It is, however, believed that.
there viii be no confscation in North
Carolina.
Negroes are making two or three dol
lars per day: at re-washing the dirt in the
North Carolina gold mines from which
gold has been once extracted.
The negro who was hung up by his

HORACE GREELY's ADVICE TO THE Ne.
GRO. I'VE hear that many of the blacks,
thoroughly distrusting their old masters,
placc-all confidence in the Yankees who
have recently como among them on al
most any terms. We regret this; for
while many Of these Yankees will justify
that confidence, others will grossly abuse
it. New England produces many of the
best specimens Of the human race, and
along with these, some Of the very mean
est beings that ever stood on two legs
cunning, rapacious, hypocriting, ever ready
to skin fiat with a borrowed knife and
make (for others) soup out of the peel
ing. This class soon becomes too well
known atllome-srun out, las the phrase
is-,Rhen they wander all over the earth
shutting and swindling, to the injury and
shame of the land that bore them and
cast them out. Now lot it be generally
presumed by the ignorant blacks of the
South that Yankee, becausea Yankee,
is necessarily their friend, and this sun-
clean brood will oversprcad thcsSouth like
locusts, starting schools and prayer meet
ings at every cross roads, getting hold Of
abandoned or confscated plantations and
hiring laborers right and and left, cutting
timber here, trying out tar and turpentine
there, and growing corn, cotton, rice and
sugar, which they will have sold at the
errliest day and run away with the pro-
ceeds, leaving the negroes in RAGS and
foodIess, with the winter just coming on.
The cup. is full--we have no more to
say!

THE LABOR QUEsr1oN.-The Newly ork
Herald has the following summary at the
close of an editorial upon the labor ques-
ton at the South:
"The labor question, which is also in
cluded in reconstruction, admits of a
very simple solution. Those Southern
ers, white or black, who will not work,
must starye. This is the invariable rule
throughout the United States, and we see
no reason to make special exception in
favor of either the recent rebels or the
recent slaves. Wewill have no appendix
to the abolition agitation. The negro
ought to. be let alone severely for year
or two, and he will then manage to take
care of himself. We pursue this policy
with our white population. Why should
we adopt a. different policy towards the
blacks?
