EX-GovEI:NOR PIcKENs. A Charles
ton letterwritcr thus reports the
views and policy of this gentleman:
Since the expiration Of his official
term, Governor Pickens has been
quietly residing on his fine plantation
in Edgefeld District, taking no part,
other than deep interest, in the great
events of the war. Being one of the
largest and most successful cotton
planters i'll the State, of course the
emancipation of the slaves has seri-
ously affected his wealth. But, with
out indulging in any vain regrets, the
Ex-Governor quietly announces his
intention to begin planting anew,
upon the principle of compensated
labor, and says that he will do all in
his power to benefit the people late
his slaves, by inducing them to work
diligently and faithfully at q fair rate
OF remuneration, and by affording
them the means of educating them
selves and otherwise elevating their
condition, according to the schemes
suggested by the Government He
IS, however. not over -sangllinc as to
the result of the experiment, adhering
to the opinion that the plantation
negro cannot be made to work under
any other than compulsory system.
Many supposed that Gov. Pickens
would have been among the first az
rested after the war; but, in his re-
gard, as will as towards his successor,
Gov. Bonham, the authorities seem to
have adopted lenient policy.

Thetiger-Christian preacher, Beech
er-if it be not proclamation to speak
such a name in close association with
that of Jesus Christ--has been regal
ing his audience with q picture of the
execution of Jefferson Davis, as the
proper "cap-stone Of the war" THE
metaphor is not ours. And though
lie exhorts his audience to witness the
scene without shouting-nay, he even
permits that they shall weep-Oh!
teaAs of the crocodile!--yet he exults
and luxuriates throughout in the hor-
rid details of the scene of blood and
terror which he seeks to make pic
turesque to the minds of his audience,
by all those words of sounding de-
clnnation with which the nd euphndum
orator disguises falsehood or clothes
crime in sort of moral plausibility
And this miserable stuff-this solemn
haiderdash-this tiger-ike craving for
blood-this revengefl and malignant
PASSIONS poured forth, on the Sab
bath, in church claiming to be Chris

The Republican State Convention
of Wisconsin has held its session.
The prominent feature of the proceed
ings was the tabling of resolutions
favoring negro suffrage. Charles r.
Gill was nominated for Attorncy-Ge-
neral of the State.
Guerillas continue to give the Co
vernment trouble in some parts of
Mississippi. A party OF them recent
ly captured the steamer Pluto, rob-
bing the officers and men. Governor
Sharkey has taken vigorous measures
to squelch them.
1t is stated that the course of Gen.
Carl Schurz, now travelling in the
South, by orders from the Govern
ment, does not meet the approval of
the President, and it is expected he
will be recalled soon.

The State Convention of the Demo

The State Convention of the Demo
cratic party OF the State Of New York
has adjourned, to the satisfaction of
all parties, after doing what is thought
satisfactory business. The Herald
says of the proceedings:
The resolutions adopted, which are
of much more real importance than
the ticket, as they establish platform
which not only speaks for the demo-
cracy of this State, but from which
the shibboleth of the party through
out the country, in their endeavors to
regain contfol of national affairs, will
no doubt be taken. are to the follow
ing effect: The Democratic party,
notwithstanding its present displace-
ment, is the real conservator of the
nation; the people are congratulated
ON the return of peace with an undi-
Wded Union and the national author
tiles are ad11onished that this result
should be followed by 4 relaxation
Of military rule in the lnteiy re-
bellious States, and the cessation
of military arrests and trials; the
OoutIIeIu NtaGcS SuCulU Dc Tc-au-
mitted to al the rights they enjoyed
before the commencement of their at
tempt to destroy the nation, and the
question of negro suffrage should not
be allowed to form an impediment to
the accomplishment of this object;
President Johnson is pledged the sup
port Of the Democratic party of the
State of New York, and his reconstruc-
ton policy is endorsed without quail
fication; the idea of national debt
being a national blessing is severely
denounced; but at the same time it is
maintained that this debt should be
faithfully discharged, and that every
portion of the country should bear its
proper proportion; the Monroe doc
trine is mentioned as cardinal prin-
ciple of American policy which cannot
bc Abandoned; the soldiers of the re-
public are thanked for their pstriotic
services, and it is urged that the COR
dial acquicscence of the Southern peo-
pie in the results of the war entities
them to the generous and magnani-
nous consideration of the national
authorities.

mountains, nor rivers, nor ocean, nor
doctors drugs, nor prayers in tenn
pies, whether Mahommetan OF Chris
t1;tn, cllvclk the ill\ adcr's fearful march
1t is time, then, for people on this
side the ocean to make ready to meet
it. Even in times when no epidemic
ragged, Oh was approaching, our city
fathers (now unhappily i'll state OF
paral ysis, passed an ordinance organ
izing Il Board of Health, to consist of
three physicians, one from each ward,
whose duty it was, at least three times
between the first of April and the first
of September, in each year, to inspect
the city carefully, visiting all localities
suspected of being unhealthy, or of
being exposed to disease, and to sug-
gest such measures rs they might
think fit to preserve the health of the
city, and especially to prevent the
introduction and spread of contagious
and infectious diseases, and to pre-
vent OF regulate the pursuit of callinGs
prejudicial to the pubioshealth or the
public comfort -"
Now here is IL duty plainly presented,
and most imperative under the cir
eumstances, and we hope the Provi-
sional Manager of the city will look to
it that health officers, if there be such
now, do their duty and report to him;
for the ordinance says, The Board
shall keep a journal of their proceed
ings, which may be at all times ex-
amined by the Council"
We don't want to alarm any one,
but when the invader is coming up the
river on board some ship, we don't
want to have such fuss as we had
during the ever-memorable Pawnee
war, when people ran down the street
with thirty-two FOUNDER guns, with
out sponge and rammer, shot or shell,
carriage or anything else, and dropped
them plump in the gutter, where they
remained until the war-the Pawnee
War-was over.
Already in New York the Superin-
tendcnt of the Five Points House of
Industry is out in an appeal for Ward
organizations, for the distribution of
food and the care of the sick and poor.
He urgently advises the establishment
of hospital accommodations in various
parts Of the city, and regular vista
tions from house to house. He cx-
presses the belief that, if the cholera
should be as bad in New York as it
was i'll 1882. accommodations will be
needed for II, 600 patients.

Wednesday Morning, Sept. 13, 1865.

Wednesday Morning, Sept. IS, 1865.
The Convention of the State of
South Carolina, for the revision of the
Constitution, Will assemble this day,
at the Baptist Church, probably at IL
m. The members were arriving yes
terday. From all quarters, as far as
we have the report, the selections
have been well made, and the body
promises to be equally strong in moral
worth and intellect. We take for
granted that the Hon. Mr.. Wardlaw
will be elected President, though we
should prefer to see his large abilities
in frequent exercise upon the floor.
We assume that, almost as matter of
necessity, many of the members of
the Convention will also be required
to serve in the Legislature, yet to be
elected. There will be no inconsis-
tency or impropriety in the members
holding seats in both bodies. BY
reason of the numbers who will be
excluded from seats in either body,
as specially excepted to by the Go
vernment of the United States, be-
cause of their active participation in
the conduct of the Confedcracy, our
State will be found singularly deficient
of resources in the matter of able
men. We shall have to tax the SER
vices of those we have to the utter
most. The Convention, unless it
undertakes too much, will probably
be able to adjourn by Saturday night.
But the introduction of any "',bject,
held irrelevant, will launch u mcm-
bers on wide sea of debate, where it
will he found difficult to bring them
into port again. Let them beware
of this danger. We hope that the
Conventionawin at least be unanimous
in one thing-in the preparation
of an earnest remonstrance, or ap-
peal, to the General Government
for that indemnity, partial though it
be, for our slave property, which will
enable us to recover, in some degree,
from the utter prostTation which
keeps our fortunes prostrate in the
dust. The claim is founded on prin-
ciples of equity, justice and good po-
Icy, if not State necessity; and has
its sufficient example in the course
pursued by Great Britain when she
emancipated the blacks in her West
India Colonies. There can be-no i'm
l,ropriety in the Convention address
ing itself, on this subject, to the Con-
Gress and the Government. We do
not counsel that they shall urge it as
condition for the political conces-
sions which we are required to make
but our readiness to submit, on this
point, is suggestive of Il claim itself,
which q magnanimous Government
and people will not be slow to recog-
nize.

that measures will soon be taken to

halfway ACCIDENTS st is wholly
impossible to keep the record of the
railway disasters which occur daily,
and in all sections of the North espe-
cially. In all such eases, it is found
upon investigation that nobody has
been to blame but the sufferers. They
happened to be i'll the way It will be
a curious subject of investigation with
philosophers to ascertain why it is that
these casualties seem to occur like cpl
demical diseases They seem contl-
gious. One railway crash or explosion
begins long series Of the like, as if
engineers were especially resolved not
to be outdone by their competitors in
making noise in the world. A rcck-
less disregard of human life, and a
false economy on roads which seek to
do smashing business on slender
means, are probably the true causes of
all the mischief.

here to the opinion we have already

of its first advent, and it may require

CRD1E IN CHARLESTON. freed

CRIsrE IN CHARLESTON. freed
men of Charleston are exhibiting, in
full odor, all the Characteristic virtues
of the age. Billy, a colored civilian;
(how names lose their importD George,
another colored civilian; Smart,
third colored civilian, have undergone
trial in Charleston, before a military
commission, for such minor virtues as
stealing, burglary, arson, &C., and
have all been found guilty, and have
been sentenced to confinement at hard
labor for periods ranging from six
months to two years and six months.
In old times, Billy, George and Smart
(civilians) might have been guilty of
the stealing and the burglary; hardly
for the threats Of arson and murder
these were rare crimes with the negro
in old times-would have been sound
ly flogged, and sent home that night,
to sup with wife and children on bacon
and corn bread, peas, greens and po-
tatocS.
Since writing the preceding, we fihd
the results of another military COM
mission for trying Anthrum McCon-
nell, Scipio, VIM. Arnell, Billy Wilson
and Gabriel, all colo,'etl civilians, for
the murder of J. w. Skinner, at the
plantation of Joseph Ford, of George
town District. They were all found
guilty, and sentenced ''to be hanged
by the neck until dead" We fear
that this catalogue Of crime is destined
to be fearfully increased. The subject
is at once too copious in suggestion
and too painful for any comment;
especially Us there are reports now
current in our city of a crime of still
greater cnorlnity, occurring also in
Georgetown District, the criminals
being again these colored civilians.
