4 Washington letter SAYS:

THE radical leaders, in private
conversation, do not hesitate to cx-
press their contempt for men of
Southern birth who are hanging to
their skirts for place and plunder I
heard very prominent one, the
other day, affirm, with an oath not
quite proper to be repeated to ears
polite, that ne would sooner touch
pitch than the hand of Bond, your
recreant Judge. The compliment
was paid in the way of assigning ,rea-
sons for refusing to be introduced to
the Judge upon his recent visit
here. 1T is one of the most often
sive necessities OF party said the
same gentleman, that men capable
of betraying their section. their fell
low-townsmen, their ncighbors, their
very flesh and blood, for mere of
flee and its cmolumcnts, should, to
advance party ends: be permitted to
contaminatc the society of gentle

LOYAL HUMBUGs. The New York
World, referring to the ''loyal" meet
ing lately held at Moulton, Alabama,
says:
It is natural enough, perhaps, that
Northern radicals should exclude
from seats in Congress Representa-
tives from the Southern States, who
are known to be truly loyal men; but
we protest against the constant pre-
sentation, as the genuine and only
loyal men Of the South, OF the few
adyeaturers Ike Hahn, and Hamil-
ton, and Nick Davis, whose record as
original dyed-in-t -the-wool rebels is
fairly rotten. 1t is almost as much of
an insult to loyalty and patriotism
and real Union sentiment, at the
North as we'll as at the South, to pa
rade these old rebels and secession
lists as The bona .yide loyal men of
the South, as it is positive outrage
upon common sense for Massachu-
setts disunionists, like Wilson and
Sumner, to call themselves "Union
men"

CHERAw AND CoAnFIELDs RAIL-

the North Carolina Legislature that
there is a fair prospect of the speedy
passage of the bill for the relief of
the above railroad:
A bill to exchange a certain amount
of stock in the North Carolina Rail
road with the Cheraw and Coalhelds
Railroad Company, and for other pur-
poses, was taken up on motion of
Ir. Dargan, who thel addressed the
House, urging its passage. This bill

The negro in Tennessee has been
enfranchised with the privilege of
voting for white radicals. The Le-
glslature should not leave its work
unfinished. They should keep right
straight on until they place their
colored friend in the condition that
they may vote for him. The privi-
Iege of voting without the privilege
of being voted for occasionally won t
nigh do.
Parents who give their children to
understand that they are burden to

they one day be given to understand
that they are a burden to their chill

DEArH FROM HYDRopHoB1A.-On
Nonlay, Daniel Gallhager died, in
Philadelphia, from the effects of fhy-
drophobia. 1t appears that deceased,
some days ago, picked UP small dog
which followed him in the street.
and took the animal to his home.
Mr.. Gallhager undertook to open the
jaws of the dog to ascertain his age,
when he was bitten in the thumb. No
thing more was thought Of the matter,
and he continued at his work until
Friday evening last, when symptoms
OF hydrophobia appeared. Medical aid
was summoned, but it was without
avail. The paroXysms became very
severe, and the sufferer had to be
tied to his bed. He died in great
agony.

SOUTHERN RELINF IN New York
The New York correspondent of the
Philadelphia Ledge1' says:
The Southern Relief (Executive)
Committee had another meeting this
afternoon, at the Office of Brown,
Brothers & Co. They report the
subscriptions thus far to be trife
over $4,000. This is miserablv slow
work, seeing chat nearly a fortnight
has passed since the great meeting at
the Cooper Institute, where so much
was promised. 1t is not so much as
one weeks performance of the Black
Crook produces at Niblo's Theatre.
And this, Notwithstanding the fact
that the wall Of starvation comes up
to us every day with more and more
force, from Georgia, the Carolinas
and the Gnlf States New York, in
this business, is doing itself no Gre
dit. While George Peabody is giving
his millions, our rich men are hig-
Cling over hundreds.
An effort was made few days since
to induce the churches of all denomi-
naClonS TO set apart the collections on
some particular Sunday for the relief
fund, but thus far it has not been
successful. In New York and Brook
lyn, we have some 300 places of pub
lie worship, and, if these could be
prevailed upon to act in concert for
just once, S250,00 might be raised,
on proper appeals to their respective
congregations, with but compare
lively little trouble. Differ as de-
nominations and sects do, they can
agree, at least, upon the exercise Of
the ''most excellent gift of charity "

Direct Trade.

The Charleston Mercury, in no.
ticing the movements now being
made in Georgia for the establish
ment of line of steamers to ply be-
tween Brunswick, in that State, and
Europe, has the following remarks,
which should receive due considera-
tion by the people of our State:
South Carolina cannot, perhaps, as
q State, undertake to purchase line
of steamers to run between this port
and Liverpool; but it would be well
for the stockholders of the South
Carolina and North eastern Railroads
to consider whether it would not be
to their interest to run line of Eu-
ropean steamers in connection with
their roads. Surely our merchants
would be willing to pledge their
freight to the direct line, at fair
rates; and, with this pledge anG the
certainty that there could be per-
feet harmony of interest between the
railroads and steamships, some por-
ton of the capital required could be
obtained in Liverpool.
1t may, perhaps, be said that we
are advocating scheme the advan-
tages of which every one will ac-
knowledge, but which cannot be car
rled out, on account of the smallness
Of our pecuniary resources. Of
course, we know perfectly well that,
had there been no war, we should
have had, long since, q regular direct
line Of steamships to Europe; and
we know also that, had not the bill
granting a charter to the Bank of
South Carolina been vetoed by the
Governor, we should have had more
capital with which to operate; but
the very desperate character Of our
case but more urgently demands an
apparently desperate remedy. Our
credit is unsullied, and we must not
hesitate to borrow, when it can be
shown that the borrowed capital will
enable US to relieve ourselves from
our difficulties, and place our entire
State In a sound financial condition.
We have all the material, all the ele-
ments of prosperity, but we need
money; and, second only in impor-
tance to giving our planters the
means to raise large crops ef our
staple, is the necessity of insuring
ourselves mode of conveying our
products to the best market, and OBJ
tanning in return the labor and ma
nufactured goods that we need.
Let there be some agitation upon
this subject of direct trade; at pre-
sent, the stream is unbroken by a
ripple. Let our Chamber Of Com
merce-our merchants, generally and
individually-our railroad men and
our journalists, talk, ponder and dis
cuss. There is a way to establish
this direct trade; and, if our people
will put themselves to it with all
their will and strength, the coming
of another cotton crop will find US
provided with powerful steamers,
suited to our trade and depth of
water, which will take up our cotton
at this city and land it without dete-
rioration upon the quays at Liver
pool

me7' says:
Saturday next is return day for
this District. At this time of univer-
sal embarrassment and trouble, it is
hoped that much of the spirit Of
generous forbearannce will be ex-
hibited by creditors, and that only
in cases OF absolute necessity Will re-
course be had to the law for collec-
tion of debts. Give the debtor all
possible time and opportunity in
which to meet his engagements, and
have tender regard for the widow
and her orphans. Such course will
tend, in no small degree, to mitigate
the suffering so prevalent through
out the country.

WHAT Is Mr.. PEABODY WoRrH?-
An exchange says this question has
been frequently asked, and is a na-
tural one. 1t is stated that, in 1856,
Mr.. Peabody made viii, which de-
nonstrated that he was then worth
about fifty million pounds sterling!
We presume, from the liberal manner
in which he scatters his charities, that
he has not grown any poorer since
If he had not transacted any business
since that time, the simple interest on
such an enormous sum would have
largely increased his wealth; but the
fact is, he has ever since been one of
the largest, most active and cautious
bankers in the world. Hence, his
present wealth must exceed one han
d7'ed million Of pounds sterliasy! This
is snug little sum for arainy day.

engaged in business, who cannot get

time, and, even if they had the time, the

many would be excluded, We think it
