We regret to observe the manner in which
our neighbor of the Progress alludes to Gen.
Sickles. 1t copies from the IL Crosse Demo-
crat such expressions as "Gen. Murder One
Leg Sickles, of Kingdom Two" And in its
last issue itsays registration has commenced
"as per the order of King Daniel the First"
The National Intelligeneer, the rebel organ
of the President, has also signalized itself
by Its coarse and brutal attacks on General
Sickles.
These assaults afford good proof of the
sound political status Of the General These
papers would not so bitterly assall him if
they had any idea that he was disposed to
favor the schemes of the disunionists
No better proof could be furnished that
Gen. Sickles is not King, than the fact that
the Progress is thus permitted to assail him.
1t must be a free country, even under militia
ry law, when the commanding General is
openly declared by the public press to be a
murderer and despot.

Meeting at Charlotte.

A meeting of citizens of Charlotte was
held on Wednesday evening last, on the sub
ject Of registration. Speeches were made
by Judge Osborne, Col. W. R. Myers, J.. H.
Wilson, Esq, and Others. Resolutions were
adopted urging the people to register, and
what is equally important, expressing the
opinion that it is the interest and duty of
the people to vote for Conosntion.
We observe that Gov. Vance, who it seems
was invited to address the meeting, was not
present, but that be was announced to speak
at Charlotte, on Saturday the 18th, on the
subject Of registration. We shall soon know
what are his views on the subject Of a Con-
vention. 1t is more than probable that Gov.
Graham will speak through him.

A CARD FROM BEvERLY NASH.


) To the Editor Of the Charleston Nesos.
SIR: I see in the Charleston Ne,os of
July 26, over the name of Felix" that
there is class of men in Columbia, repre-
sented by such men as Beverly Nash, that
maintain mastery inactivity in regard to
the Convention that has adjourned in this
city. He said that we were desirous of re-
tanning the respect Of our old masters lthank
God we have none now.) Now. sir, wish
it understood that stand upon the platform
of the Union Republican party of South
Carolina. If this will retain their respect,
shall be happy to have it; if not, I shall say
to them as I say to others, / court the smiles
of no man at the expense of my principles,
and shall work and vote of the Republican
party and no other. would also say there
never has been any complaint against the
officers of the Bureau here; they are gentle
men. There is no dissension among us, for
we are going unanimously for the Union
Republican party, and against all Others. -
Yours, W. B. NASH.

The rebel papers of this State are calling
frantically on their followers to register
The Newbern Journal Of Commerce calls on
every friend of the South" to register We
call on every friend of the Union to register,
Let every one who is entitled to do so, reg
lister. We have no fears as to the result
At least one-half of the white vote, and all
the colored vote will be cast for the Repnbli-
cans. The State must go back with radi-
cal Constitution, or not at all. Those who
may prevent this, no matter by what means,
will suffer for it. Let our loyal friends take
courage. We have the traitors on the hip
They will soon be powerless.

TENNESSEE ELEoTIoN-The vote in Ten
nessee is as follows: Brownlow &C, 1851, Eth
eridge 1894 Majority for Brownlow
4S,36s. In Kentucky rebels have been en-
franchised and the colored people disfran-
chised. That State has, therefore, gone for
disunion by 10000 majority. The disunion
leaders would have this State like Kentucky.
They can not bear Tennessee. Let every
loyal man register, and then vote in such a
way as to disappoint them.

We understand that certain unreconstruc-
ted rebels are spreading the report that the
colored people can not register and vote,
unless they pay tax. This report is talse.-
No tax is required to make a voter. Let
every man who values his liberty be sure to
register, and then vote when the time comes.

The disunion presses are publishing what
they call Record of Scoundrelism," con-
sisting of some statements of q man named
Dunham, or Conover, to the effect that Mr..
Ashley and other members of Congress had
conspired by bribery and subornation of
perjury to impeach the President. This
man Conover Is now in the penitentiary for
perjury. He is man of desperately wicked
character. he is good witness for the per-
SONS who are using him. The whole thing
will be exposed in due time.

because he was known to be an unhinching
Union man, the students treated him in such
way as to compel him to resign. We have
no hesitation in saying that the institution
should at once be closed, if such scenes and
such conduct are to be repeated.
This journal has always been friendly to
the University. We have rejoiced when it
prospered, and we have sympathized with it
in adversity.. Hundreds of our best citi-
zens are of its Alumni. They still regard it
with affection, and because they do, it is
their purpose to place it on new basis and
give to it benefcent perpetuity. Its day,
under present auspices, is over. A new and
and a brighter era is dawning upon it. Un-
der the plastic hand of those thoughtful, lib
eral and sagacious men who are destined in
future to govern the State, the University
will be restored, and will be so endowed and
conducted as to rival Yale and Harvard. -
The loyal people of this State, who are to
pay the taxes 10 support this institution, will
not tolerate as President thereof such man
as Vance, or George Davis, or Gen. 10 John
ston, or DIR. Deems, or Gen. M. w. Ransom.
There are Others, natives of the State, who
add to an unb.emished loyalty the highest
attainments as scholars. Especially, is it
not to be thought of for moment that dis
loyalist like Doctor Vance, who. cannot con-
jugate single Latin or Greek verb, and who
is ignorant of the syntax, prosody, &C., of
his own tongue, should be called to preside
over such an institution.
General Grant.
The Washington Chronicle says Gen.
Grant has established his. office in the rooms
formerly occupied By Mr.. Secretary Stanton.
That paper adds:
"In this connection it will be interesting
to know that General Grant looks upon his
assignment to the War Department by the
President in the light Of military order,
which he had no right to decline obeying,
nor even the right to protest against. He
and Mr.. Stanton have fully understood each
other from the first development of the at
tempt to GUST the latter from Office, and it is
understood that in their conferences regard
ing the matter, they discussed at length the
influence of the acceptance of the assign
ment on Grants political status, as well as
the well known efforts of certain parties to
indentify him with the policy of the admin
istration."
We are glad to hear this. Gen. Grant is
probably the most influential man in
America, but judging from the tone of the
Republican press, his popularity would at
once seriously begin to wane if he should,
to any extent, identify himself politically
with President Johnsons administration.

The jackson Democrat, Mississippi, pub
fishes, in the biggest type its limited print
ing Office can supply, this alarming decree:
The Negroes must be Deported or EX-
TERMINATEDl All the desilbegotten
imps of darkness, whether tlack or brown,
whether NEGROES or Indians, whether
Mongols or mulattoes, should at once be dis
missed, and that foreuer, FROM THE CARE,
FROM THE SIGHT; AND EVEN from

negroes the editor of the Democrat would
probably be begging his bread, and we are
quite sure that if he executes his dire and
dreadful threat, he will find that he has de-
ported and exterminated his dinner.-New
York Tribune.
What substantial difference is there be-
tween the above and the following, from
letter recently addressed by Gov. Worth to
the people OF this Statea Gov. Worth says:
Whatever may be the final settlement of
the questions as to the political equality of
the two races, or the superiority OF the one
over the other, it is certain that for long
time to come, unless humanity is to be shock
ed by the expulsion or annihilation of one
race or the other. this State is to be inhabi-
ted by both races; and it is the manifest
interest of both races to live together in
peace and friendship. each acting kindly and
justly towards the other"
Gov. Worth well knows that there is no
probability that thirty-five millions ofwhites
in this country, for the most part intelligent,
and possessed of all the governments and
nearly all the property, will be driven out or
annihilated by the comparatively feeble me-
gro race. The suggestion, therefore, looks to
the expulsion or annihilation Of the colored
race. 1t was so intended, and if brought to
the book Gov Worth would be obliged to
swear that it was. When this is coupled with
the fact that Gov. Worth proposed in one of
his messages to distribute the colored people
of this State throughout the United States,
it assumes peculiar significance. Has General
Sickles given particular attention to the
above language in Gov. Worth's address,

]. D. HAYES.
Aug. 12. 1857.
The Sentinel of the 9th brought this false
charge against Mr.. Hayes. tits bad enough
to have to pay taxes to support the existing
rebel State government, but it is still harder
to be slandered and lied upon about it. No
one pays these taxes cheerfully, but they are
nevertheless paid, and will be, to the last
farthing. The people feel, in the first place,
that they are forced from them to pamper
and support a set of graceless rebels and en-
emies to the government Of the United
States; and in the second place, they have
no well-grounded assurance that they will be
applied to any good purpose.
Mr.. Hayes is known to be an unfinching
Union man. Hence this false report which
has been raised against him.
The Sentinel evidently desires, from the
tone of its article, that Gen. Sickles would
try MIR. Hayes on this false charge, convict
him, and sentence him to hard labor at Fort
Macon. We think, on the contrary, that it
would be but just to punish the Editors of
that paper for publishing this unmitigated
lie on Mr. Hayes That gentleman has no
redress for this attempt to injure his charac-
ter. High times, indeed, when that infa-
mously reasonable sheet warns loyal men,
in the name of Gen. Sickles. (Which, of
course, it uses without the slightest authori-
ty,) that they may render themselves liable
to punishment" But the Sentinel is the
mouth-piece of Gov Worth, who is unfor-
tunately recognized by Gen. Sickles, and to
that extent its statements carry with them
an air of authority.
