Remarkable Freedman's Meeting in South
Carolina.
NEw YoRE, March 10Th.

New YoRK, March 10Th.
A special dispatch to the Times, from
Columbus, S. c., dated the 18th. says one
OF the most remarkable colored meetings
ever held in the State was held here to-day
In celebration Of the enfranchisement Of the
negroes. BY invitation Wade Hampton,
w. Disaussure formerly U. 5. Senatorl,
VIM. Talley, Edward Arthur, James Gibbs,
and other eminent leading men addressed
the meeting. Also, David Picket and Bev-
erly Nash, colored notables. The senti-
ments expressed were highly honorable on
both sides. The negroes were gratifed by
the spirit of political afiiation with which
they have been met. Should a convention
be called they will probably nominate and
support the best men of the country, and as
declared by Nash, will urge Congress to re-
peal the clause disfranchising those in whom
they have the greatest confidence.

A Capital Speech.

Gen. George ". Morgan made a
capital speech at Cincinnati the
other day, of which the following
was the conclusion. 1t is one Of
the bravest Northern soldiers who
speaks and thus pleads for mercy
to the conquered and peace to the
country:
But is no one to be punished?
Punished! Does that question ema-
nate from a human heart, or is it
an inspiration from fend Of hell?
Punished? Why, my countrymen,
never in the history Of civilized
warfare was such dire punishment,
inflicted upon a conquered people
as that endured by our country
men of the South. Towns and
cities sacked and burned. Whole
districts charred and desolated as
if by the demon Of destruction, and
millions who we're reared in af-
;,fucnee reduced by the shock Of
war to penrry and want. But. is
no one to die? Is no blood to be
shed? Almighty God! No one to
die Let the five, hundred thousand
Southern graves, around which the
melancholy cypress stands as spec
7 trail sentinels mourning over the
victims Of q fallen cause, answer
the hyena cry for blood. FIVE
hundred thousand graves, the sad
monuments of the error ola heroic
but~dsfcated people. Five hundred
| thousand Southern homes ? are
draped in mourning for the loved
ones who slumber in defeat be-
meath the crimson sod. = Five hun
dred thousand Southern homes are
desolate, and the night wind, as it
Sweeps across, a hundred ensan-
guined battle-ields, is still burthen-
ed with the groans Of anguish and
the sighs Of despair which comes
from the graves Of those who died
in. lost and mistaken cause.
Five hundred thousand, Southern
mothers, widows, orphans, are the
living monuments OF the blight OF
frratricidal war. And who asks
| for vcngence more than, this?
What demon in human Shape erie
for blood i? My conntrymen,, the

The western portion Of our
town, for some nights during the
past week. was disturbed by the
noise Of some people who have
their own particular way of enjoy
ing themselves. and who seem to
pursue it, regardless Of propriety
or respect for the feelings Of 9TH
ers. Near the scene Of these or
gies one Of our most respectable
citizens was upon his bed Of death,
with his afflicted family around
him.
Death comes TO him, and on
Friday night last, whilst his re-
mains are still in his house, the
vulgar noise is renewed and con-
tinued. -.
Our quiet community have
long endured this and similar noe
turnal nuisances. If these per

respectable hours they might be
bearable. Rut honest, industrious
people, use the night for sleep and
rest, and to have these disturbed
is a grievance too intolcrable :tc

the dear Bona accompanied her
preserver. Brunoro had no moth
er nor sister with whom to trust
the precious child, and he had
dressed her like a boy, to save her
from the coarse admiration which
her beauty might have drawn from
the rude soldiers
Always kind, thoughtful, and
delicate, he had watched over her,
little, dreaming that one day she
would be wearing out her heart
for his misfortunes.>:.W When Bru-

prison. The officers who arrested
him refused all but a parting word.
That parting was as solemn as
death. The girls cheek was
blanched to a -deathly hue, and
Piero was suffering martyrdom in
the thought of what the beautiful
child mi might be exposed to when
deprived OF her protector. Sor-
row and :heartbreaking followed
her, but, it adobe no, less with him.
Often, in his dreams, he. had seen
her in the periis, which in his wax.
hing moments, he had'shuddered to
think Of 49,. -;
1T had all passed now and, the
future bore a bud Of promise which
would out-bloom, all their hopes;
When : Brunoro had recovered
from the,illness which a sudden
change had oceasioned, they were
married: Always from that time,
Bona claimed the right; to follow
| her husband in his Wanderings,
and it, was, only momentary: ab-
sence that hadprevented herfrom
seeing him faiE'when the terrible
stroke came upon her beloved,
She heard him utter his last audi
bic words, as the friendly. officer
! supported her to his. side-''Lovc,
| YOU promised never to leave me
again" There was a brief sepa-
ration indeed, between two souls
so 4intwined in each other. In

had followed her- beloved there
Twas a speedy reunion. No more
