Opposed to Negro Rule.

Colonel Halpine, who made very hon
orable record in the war, thus expresses his
opposition, and gives his views on the sit
uation. In the New York Citizen he says !:
The daily papers are making great
middle over the opinions of the prominent
Generals and the people at large on the
question Of reconstruction. They tell us
that Grant approves of the course of the
President, that Thomas agrees with Sheri-
dan, and that Sherman favors the plan of
Congress, or uice oerSG, according to their
political bias. We can tell them all that if
the Congressional system is to put the
South in possession of the negroes, it does
not meet the view of the people-the sail
ors in our fleets, the soldiers in our armies,
the merchants at their desks. the farmers
at their plows, or any other large body of
our citizens. A st. Domingo is not what
we fought for ; we do not want it, and will
not have it; and that the niggers, whether
white or black, may understand as well first
as last. Nations are cruel when driven to
despair and, rather than surrender our
white nationality, we will massacre or en-
slave every colored man in the States
This may be bold language, and unconyen-
tional, but we ask our readers whether it
does not meet the confirmation of their
hearts We have sacrificed too many whites
for principle to stop at taking the lives of
O few worthless blacks"

SOETH CARnIIn

SoCTH CAROLINA, Aug. ~, 1867.
To the Editors Of tie National Lnte2igence,:
Having seen in your paper several refer
ences to the report respecting Gen, Sickles
and the street cars in Charleston, think I
can explain the matter, showing that,
though the Charleston News may be right,
the 1ntelligencer is not SabStdntidLlyvery far
wrong. At the time General Sickles came
on from Washington to take charge of his
military district, there came upon the same
train a gentleman of this community, Of
the most respectable character. Attached
to the train was refreshment car, in which
car the gentleman referred to, with others,
were at table partaking of dinner or luuch,
when General Sickles entered, smoking
The person having charge of the car Motif
ed the General that it was q violation of
rules to smoke in that car, pointing, at the
same time, to notice to that effect To
this remonstrance General Sickles replied,
"Then 1 suspend the rule, SIR"
This is, no doubt, the origin of the re-
port that reached you, and making your
report correct, except as to locality. l
pledge myself for the correctness of the
above statement. SUBSCRIBER

temptible at home to be entrusted with any
office of honor, trust or profit, they are
here to offer their patriotic services (?) and
virtuous (?) example for our moral elevation
and political advancement and sl1pposing
the negro to be, at least, little bit lower
in the scale of humanity than themselves,
| they come with the confident expectation
and impudent boastfulness that Sambo and
Simon, Peter and Polluy, and all the rest
of us small fry darkies, will at once see in
their august personages the veritable cham
pions of our freedom, and fly on the wings
of gratitude and love to glory and reward
them-at the polls-for their manly {" hair
| breadth 'scapes in the imminent deadly
breach while bleeding and dying to set
us free.
They know that we are in the alphabet
of letters and their object is to take ad-
vantage of our general ignorance and uni
versal credulity and by pandering to our
evil passions, and the vices incident to ig-
norance among all races, they expect to
alienage us from the only true friends we
have on the habitable globe, and array us
in political and deadly strife against our
former masters and protectors
Such are the three classes who, we are
told, are to be our future friends and legis-
lators, and with whom it is said by radi-
calism it is our duty to unite in II political
organization for the reconstruction of the
South. May the Gods forbid it Il the
black race of the South have neither the
virtue nor the Intelligence to feel the
wound, surely they have pride enough to
rouse some feelings of resentment to the
deep and damnable insult conveyed in the
programme that names them as the fourth
class in the catalogue Of infamy
If the colored man is worthy of and en-
titled to the elective franchise, it is very
clear that he is also entitled to place in
politics in proportion to the number he
brings to the support Of the successful
party; but it is not upon this self-evident
proposition that | now announce my de-
termination to test radcalism to the very
core on the question of mixture of races
in the halls Of the National Legislature
Neither L, nor my colored friends nor
the Intelligent, right thinking white men
of this country, are willing TO trust their
honor Or interests in the hands Of any one
Of the three classes referred to they and
believe it is far preferable to select some
reliable colored man, and meet the issue at
once and directly in the only way that it
can be done under the reconstruction
measures
For these, and many other reasons, Mr. |
Editor, L have, at the solicitation of many |
gentlemen Of both races, consented to the |
use of my name; and though it is now be- |
fore the country, my ambition is not at all
overweening and [ shall cheerfully counsel |
with my friends throughout the District as
to the plan of the campaign, the most avail
able candidate, &C., and will most gladly |
yield the field to a better selection.
am, sir very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
JAMES P. Tickling.

General Pope has won another of bis
very peculiar victories. He has suppressed
paper called the News, at Albany, Ga,
on the general charge of disloyalty, which
means opposition to Congressional recon
struction and to General Pope's orders.
According to the logic of his late letter to
General Grant, doubtless he suppressed the
Albany paper in order to maintain the free
dom of the press.

The Inland Air Line Route.

1t is wonderful to notice the great changes
being rapidly made in the transportation of
freights. Ten years ago the idea that freight
could and would be transported along
the sea-coast from one end of the United
States to the other, by railroads, would
have been the source of ridicule, and its
originator regarded as q fit subject for the
Lunatic Asylum. Yet, to-day, no traveller
on our railroads can fail to notice, attached
to nearly all of the passenger trains, cars
heavily ladened, with labels Indicating the
fact that they contain freight destined for
Northern city, or direct from Northern
market, being transported to some remote
Southern town. It certainly is a most
wonderful revolution, and has opened up q
new field of business for these corporations,
which win not only prove beneficial to
them but to the business of the country.
As an instance of the dispatch with which
freights are being transported by the great
Inland Air Line Route, we are permitted
to instance a few facts in connection there
with. A lot of cotton shipped from Che
raw, South Carolina, by J. G.. Medlin and
A. Benton, on the 31st August, reached New
York, oiG Wilmington, by the Inland Air
Line in 69 hours We will also mention
that goods from New York to Charleston,
to Stoll, Webb & Co., were ordered on
Monday and received the following Friday.
We learn further, that Wells Bros, W. J.
Reid, r. J. Donaldson and other leading
firms IN Cheraw have received goods by
this route from New York IL less than &c
hours.
These appear wonderful statements when
we compare them With tie time formerly |
occupied in transporting Ireights between |
these places, but we will vouch for their |
correctness. In addition to the speed |
which is attained by this Inland Line, its |
safety and cheapness brings it to the favor
able consideration of all shippers. Wei
have frequently alluded to the ability and |
energy with which our lines of railroads |
are being managed, the proof of which we |
now have before us. Such management is |
not only advantageous to the share-owners,
but every department of business must
reap the benefit of the intelligent enter
prize which has reduced to such perfect
system the transportation of freights.

The report of the committee was adop-
ted, and Gen. Abbott, on taking the chair,
Ito which he was conducted by Hon. John
Pool white and James Harris negrol, de-
livered a temperate and pleasant speech.
On motion of DR.. Powell, (who, consid-
ering that he is from Washington, plays q
large part in the proceedings but then he
is large man, it was agreed to raise a
Committee OF 21,-three from each Con-
gressional District,-for the purpose of
perfecting the organization of the Repub-
iican party, and Committee on the Plat
form of two from each District of which
latter it was provided that Mr.. Pool should
be Chairman. -.
Considerable opposition was made, in
one form or another, to both resolutions,
especially to trammehng the President in
his selections, but it was Intellectual.
SO much confusion and jabbering pre-
vailed at times, and SO total d disregard for
the rules of order, that it was found neces-
sary to appoint four Sergeants-at-arms.

General Candy.

The following is an extract of letter.
dated Washington, Aug. 20, received in
this city yesterday from personal friend
of General Candy:
Gas the Union men, and in fact all
classes of the State are interested in know
ing the character of General CANDY and
his views in regard to existing issues, I
shall present brief statement in relation
to both, based upon my intimate personal
knowledge of him, and confirmed by an
interview that l had with him this morn
ing.
At the date of Lees surrender General
Candy was in command of the Division of
the Gulf, embracing all United States
forces West of the Mississippi. He was
then confronted by the Confederate army
under General Kirby Smith. He enforced
the surrender Of that army without blood
shed upon terms honorable alike to the con-
queror and the conquered. Subsequently,,
in command of the District of Louisiana,
he displayed the highest order of admins.
trative ability, the wisdom and Justice of
his rule having been almost universally re-
cognized and acknowledged. Early in
1866 General Candy, observing that the
colored population of Louisiana were taxed
on property amounting in value to fourteen
million dollars. and yet were denied entry
IuLO u GuO uDl1C OCuOOlS OF the State,
he ordered that special tax should be
levied to establish schools for colored chill
dren. phat order was revoked by direc-
ton of tho President of the United States,
and he. was soon after assigned to the com
mand embracing Maryland and tue District
of Columbia, from which he has just been
transferred. As a military and constitu-
tional lawyer he stands first in the army,
and he presents the highest type of the
gentleman and the soldier in his character
and bearing.
He is not politician or partisan, but
he believes firmly, and asserts fearlessly,
that the honor of the country and the safe
ty of the Republic requires that the policy
of Congress, as embodied in the several
Acts, should be enforced at
all hazards In this particular he concurs
with General Sheridan and fully endorses
his acts He will be found Just to all, but
corruption or disaffection in any guise will
find him utterly inapproachable."

The Crops OF 1867.

It is yet too early to make anything like
accurate calculations as to the amount of
the crops of this season. The effect of the
drought on the Western corn and of the
army worm on the Southern cotton is yet
very uncertain. A rough guess may, how
ever, be made, which will give some gen.
eral idea Of the amount of our agricultural
prospects. Something of this kind we find
in the Boston Commercial Bulletin, which
is very we'll informed on such subjects. It
complies the following table:

According to this table, our agricultural
products will be about forty per cent.
greater than in the very prosperous season
OF 1850. If we compare values, the result
is still more favorable to 1867. The great
est advance, of course, has been in the price
of cotton, but nearly all the more impor-
tant products sell for more now than in
1860, even on q gold basis. In spite of
protracted rains on the Atlantic slope. of
the army worm in the Southern States, of
dry weather in the interior, and of the dis
turbed and unsettled condition of ten States,
we are blessed with yield of the great
staples which will prevent famine and Sc
rious suffering during the coming season
in the Southern States, and will make the
more prosperous States in the North and
West better able to meet the burdens of an
unnecessarily oppressive taxation.

rebels who, in 1861, were blatant and ram
pant Yankee eating secessionists, who, in
the hour of their countrys peril, deserted
her standard, and who, by the way of ex-
cuse for their Infamous conduct, drifted
into what was then called toryism, and
now side with the radicals, because, like
Benedict Arnold, they have no friends on
the other side. The second class is COM
posed of that lower stratum of society,
which is tui ned to the surface only when
violent connections throw up the filth they
feed on-the spaWns of humanity, that
never had thought, principle, a country,
OF God, and who are only useful to the
Catalines and Robespierres of civil reyolu-
lions, as SO many noisy machines to throw
up hats and shout huzza. Such were the
fellows that found refuge from enrolling
officers IN the Southern swamps. Too
cowardly to fight under the Stars and Bars.
they are found fit and worthy tools for the
persecution of the disarmed and defence
less. and admirable gas pipes to hiss out
hosannahs to the vulgar vanity of their sort
from the mountains of the victor. The
third class of our would-be- eopartners in
the business of reconstruction are the
scraplngs of a ground swell of New Eng
land fungi; and from the specimens that
have come South to grow respectable on the
!" Nlgger vote, and get rich by picking up
Httle things, such as spoons and the like, I
am very much inclined to the opinion that
a most harmonious and lasting brotherhood
may be established between them and class
No. q Such individuals in the DAYS OF
slavery would have been kicked out of the
meanest darkey's cabin in the slave States,
and it is, to-day, an undeniable fact that
their status is far below the standard of
responsibility, even s.mong the colored peo-
pie they have succeeded thus far in impo-
sing upon. Too low, and mean, and con-
