Another White and COIOrcd Meet
ing---SPeech by Gov. Orr---Other
sPeeches.--C onservativ RcsoIu-
tiOns---NHixcd Committees.

COLUMBIA, s. O., April 29.-Another meet
ing of whites and negroes was held to-day,
and was largely attended. Gov. Orr address,
cd the meeting in speech of an hours
length, giving the colored men advice as to
their political and social duties, and urging
that they should all at present neither attach
| themselves to the Democratic nor Republi-
can party, but to wait and array themselves
on the platform of National Union party
that could be occupied in common by both
races South, and all the people North; he
counseled moderation and patience, and
promised that, provided the negroes did their
duty, the people of the South would see
them educated and secured in all the priyi-
leges of treemen.
The committee on resolutions consisted of
thirteen whites and blacks. A conservative
platform was unanimously adopted. Itpro-
yides free schools for the education of all
children, and the revision of the civil and
criminal code of the State.
After the adoption of the resolutions a
speech was made by Rev. VIM. Turner, col
ored, of Washington, d. c. He said he cared
for no party, but simply desired the rights of
his race, would adhere only to that organi-
cation which insured them all the priyile-
ges of manhood and he wished, above all
things, to see a united South, for he felt
satisfied that notwithstanding the education
OF tue past, Southern men were the best and
truest friends of the negro.
Hon. j. Gibbes, eX-may0r, followed, with
much good advice, referring to the duties of
colored citizens, and gave assurance of the
cordial cooperation of the whites in mea-
sures looking to their advancement.
The meeting was also addressed by other
citizens good feeling prevailing.
A mixed executive committee of thirteen
was appointed for one year. Good results
are anticipated.

Court has announced that no new cases will
be taken up after the 9Th proximo, as the
Court will adjourn on the Goth. Fseas
General Ord, acting under instructions
given him while here, has detailed army Off

WASHINGTON, April 29-The Attorney
General was closely engaged to-day in the
preparation of his opinion on the question of
acknowledgements under the reconstruction
bills. The opinion will be finished and read
in the Cabinet tomorrow.
The opinion was called for by Gen Grant,
who apprehended difficulties on account of
lack of concurrence in judgment among the
five district commanders, but especially on
account of Gen. Sheridan's threatened re-
moval of Gov. Wells and Gov. Throckmor-
ton. =.

We regret that more attention has
not been attracted to Coolie labor in
the South. In our judgment the Coo
lie is to be the regeneration of our
planting prosperity. The white labor
ers in California are about to drive
him out, because he is a better and
cheaper laborer than themselves. No
better proof could be wanted that he is
Just the man we need in our cotton
fields. We cannot get him here
vet from California, because of the
great distance and the cost of trans
portation; but he may be had in Ha-
vana, in small numbers. As soon as
the great railroad to the Pacific is COM.
pleted, we shall be able to supply our
selves abundantly, and at cheap rates.
In the meantime the experiment is
being tried in Louisiana, and with en-
tire success. We clip the following
from a Louisiana paper:
~The editor of the Natchitoches
Times has had a conversation with a
planter of Rapides parish, who ex-1
presses himselfdelighted with the Chi
nese Iaborers employed on his place.
The gentleman declares that he never
saw men better fitted for the cultiva-
ton oflands in Louisiana, and that he
feels certain Of making good crops
henceforth."

fishing an earnest appeal to the Ladies
of Mississippi by committee of the

city, for concerted effort in behalf OF
the destitute and suffering of our own
people. So true is Woman to her gen.

demands of suffering humanity, that
we are sure this appeal will not be
made in vain. 1t is true that abun-
dance of the necessaries, much less
the Injuries of life, is not to be found
in any abode, even that Of the COM

families who doubtless, without seri-
GUS deprivation, could dispense with
aportion of their enjoyments in order
to relieve the absolute wants of those
who are not able to procure even bread

inconvenience which might be felt by
such charitable acts, would be more
than compensated by the conscious

EXECUTIVE OFFICE,
Austin, April 9th, 1867. {
Col. AsHBEL SMITH, Houston, Texas:
Dear SRI was too busily engaged
at the time of receiving your last
favor, to answer by return post. The
present is the earliest moment of leis-
ure / have had. / was much gratifed
at the expression of your views, and
| find they accord with the sentiments
expressed by many prominent gentle
men with whom / have had correspon-
dence in different parts of the State.
The recent act of Congress directing
the details of executing the first act,
has relieved us of any doubts as to the
propriety of what course was best to
pursue, in order that the terms of the
first might be complied with. The
views l expressed to yourself and 9th
err gentlemen shortly after the passage
of the Sherman bill, have been
strengthened by reflection. In my
judgment, there should be no hesita-
ton on the part Of Of our people in
conforming to the conditions imposed.
While we feel that the law is unjust
and harsh, and that there is no good
reason why it should have been so
severe, and that, without any desire on
the part of the white race, it may
prove of great injury to the blacks, yet |
it presents plan of adjustment and,
however onerous, we should not fail |
to avail ourselves OF its provisions, and |
do the very best we can to restore
peace and prosperity. Those of Us
who are DISTINGUISHED can well afford |
to submit to such denial of the privil- |
eyes of freemen if it will be the means
of bringing quiet, good order and
fraternal accord to the country. II
such sacrifice will be the means of re-
lieving the country from military rule,
of restoring the sacred right of trial
by jury in the courts unawed by bayo-
nets, and aid in restoring our country
men to their native land who now
wander in exile, it should be cheerfully
made; and l can conceive of no more
worthy sacrifice that a patriot heart
By prompt action in accepting the
terms proposed, we can promise our
selves release from the terrible sus-
Dense, so injurious to every interest of
5he country, in which we have been in
Tolved since the surrender BY nom
action we leave the State government
20 be controlled by the military as
ong as it may please Congress to
permit it, with the certainty in the
uture that it will be superseded or
Ibolished. By such policy we invite
urther proscriptive and discrimina-
ing legislation, when we are utterly
'owerless and unable to avoid any =
hing that may be imposed. BY avail j
ng ourselves of the terms offered we /
nay not preserve liberty, yet we may {
reserve life and prevent further hui
li,iation. We may also lay the foun- ]
alton for future restoration to perfect
quality with the other States of the a
Tnion and we may place ourselves in a
condition to aid the great patriotic
lasses of the nation in restoring the
overnment to its original purity, and

lory of every American heart, where
Yer found, in whatever cline or sec

In accordance to previous NOTICE, o
large number Of the citizens Of Leon
county, irrespective of color, assem-
bled in the Capitol Square, in Tallas
hassee on last Saturday. The meeting
was called by the Freedmen of Leon
county, and the officers of the meeting
were consequently filed by them
Robert Cox was chairman by reg
ular motion and vote of the meeting;
but both colors were respectfully in
vited to participate in the proceedings.
The speakers on the occasion were his
Excellency, Gov. Walker, Judge Nc
Queen Mcintosh; Green Davidson,
colored; Chas. Taylor, coldred, and
one more colored speaker, whose name
we did not learn. OF these speeches
we can say but little, on account of the
want of room and time for this issue
of the Sentinel. We stenographed the
speeches, but they are too lengthy for
our crowded columns. Nearly all the
speeches were of a conservative char
acter, some of the colored speakers
giving very sensible advice to their
hearers, and Gov. Walker and Judge
Mcintosh addressed them kindly, adj
vising industry, counselling modera-
ton in the use Of their new privileges,
and rendering all the aid in their
power.
The effect of this meeting was good
on both sides, and we think its IN
fuence will continue to grow The
meeting was gotten up entirely by the
colored people, who invited the whites
to be present, in order as they stated,
that the white people might see that
they had come not half but all The way,
to show their willingness to cooperate
with them in the reconstruction of the
State. This meeting they also stated
was to decide that issue, and they ask
the Southern whites cheerfully to con-
cede their rights under the law, give
them Justice before the civil tribunals
of the land, and be their friends and
assist in their education. These views
were met in cordial and becoming
manner on the part of Gov. Walker
and Judge Mcintosh, and inspired con
fdence in the minds of the colored
people. Again we say, we regret ex-
ceedingly that we have not room in
this issue to publish in full the able re-
marks made by Gov. Walker and
Judge Mcintosh.

We find in the Cincinnati Enquirer
the following call from ten prominent
clergymen of that city to their con-
gregations, for contributions for the
destitute people of the South. The
Enquirer publishes it with an appeal
that it be responded to in the same
Christian spirit in which it is made.
We will add that the reports on which
these humane appeals are made, are
not in the least exaggerated. The air
is filled, in some sections of the coun-
try, with the lamentations of helpless
women and children who are suffering
the pangs of famine; and what adds a
darker hue to this scene of distress, is
the recent rise in the price of provis-
ions, particularly corn, which is the
first necessary, and with even scanty
supply of which our destitute poor
would be satisfied until the new crop
is raised:
APPEAL TO THE CHURCHES.
Deeply moved by the numerous and
well authenticated reports which are
constantly reaching us of the alarming
restitution OF food which now prevails
throughout large sections of the South
ern States, which has already proved
fatal in many instances, and brought
multitudes to the verge of starvation,
and feeling that the distressed condi-
ton of these people appeals in the
strongest manner to the Christian be-
nevolence of these in whose hands a
fayoring Providence has placed the
ample means of relief we would, there
fore, earnestly recommend to the
churches of this city, which have not
already done so, to take collections
for this object and, as immediate re-
lief is indispensable, we would suggest
tomorrow, the 28th inst, as the time,
wherever practicable, The funds so
raised will be judiciously expended by
any of the various freedmen's aid or
societies operating in the
South, or by James M. Glenn, Esq,
of "Wm. Glenn & Sons" No. 70 Vine
street, the committee of the Chamber
of Commerce.

The truth is that nine tenths of our
Southern people have gone astray on
all these questions, and their error
lies in their overlooking one funda-
mental principle. They forget that
they seeded from the United States,
and became foreign government, and
waged foreign war against their enc
my. Ifthey would bear these facts in
mind they could solve all their diff
culties. With these premises they
could draw logical conclusions, in
stead of stultifying themselves at every
step. We cannot talk about our
rights under the Constitution without
condemning ourselves out of our own
mouths. To do so we must unsay all
we have said, undo all we have done.
We must throw our honor to the
dogs, and consent to let the enemy
brand us as rebels and traitors. Why
can we not be men, and stand up to
what we have done, instead of whining
like whipped spaniels, and claiming to
re-enter the kennel which we so recent
ly spurned? We feel mortified and
humbled at the position in which
Judge Sharkey has placed Mississippi. |
He has humbled her in the dust, by |
making her eat her own words and I'M |
do all her glorious deeds of the war.
In our judgment we had the right to
secede; we did secede, we have been
cong uered in the war, and the result
is that we are foreign territory. In
stead of our honor requiring US to de-
ny all these things it consists in our
them, and we should get
back into the Union as soon as posi-
Bile under the terms the conqueror has
Once in the Union we

tage of any political changes that may

lost-Memphis Bulletin.
