EX.GoV. WISE.

A dispatch from Richmond, dated August %,
contains the following in reference to speech de-
lvcred by this gentleman:
sEx-Gov. Wise delivered an address to-day at
Washington and Henry Academy. He said we all
now owed natural allegiance to our country, and
any oath to support its Constitution or oath of re-
gistration, was violation of that Constitution
There is now being made oh effort 10 make the
white freedmen of the South subject to the domin-
ion of the black freedmen. Against this, we must
appeal to the white masses of the North who will
not permit the sacrifice of natures law to political
prejudice. The whites of the New England, Mid
die States and Europe must not be kept off from
the South by this black rule; this is the white
mans land, and must be kept open for the white
man. lie said that 10 ward off the national dis
honor of reputation, interest on national bonds
must be reduced to four and half per cent, that
interest taxed and the whole debt consolidated; ;
then the rich would stop boarding bonds He
urged his audience to renew their allegiance to
their country, and never desert the Constitution; ;
to preserve the purity of their race and Blood and
labor increasingly to live in peace and plenty"

a MOVE 1y THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

We make the following extract from the Colum-
Sbia Paaniz of last Saturday:
The Augusta Constitutionalst learns that the Hon.
A. s.. Fitch, United States District Attorney, has
determined to prefer charges against no less than
eight of the Southern loyalists, the aforesaid eight
having taken the iron-clad oath contrary to the
law and facts in evidence. 1t is understood that
en- officer is. making inquiries in South Carolina
relative to the status &c., of some of the cath
takers. -, -
When that officer desires to obtain reliable in
formation on the subject, we respectfully submit
that he would further the end in view by making
known his wishes and whereabouts. we are not
mistaken, some of the loyal socaed in this region
might pay the penalty for disregarding the past
when they subscribed to the iron-clad. BY all
means, hasten the exposure of these Junus-faced
officials.

There are persons, perhaps, who labor under the
impression that General Order No. 10 protects
them from being sued upon contracts made since
the surrender. If any such read this paragraph

and find how badly they are mistaken. These

SUNDAY SCHOOL CELEBRATION.

In accordance with the announcement made
through these columns, there was mass meeting
of Sunday schools at Concord Church, three miles
north CT this place, on last Saturday. The day
was propitious, and at early hour there had as-
scmbled an unusually large crowd of children and
spectators in the Beautiful grove. suitable stand
for the speakers had been erected, and ample ac-
commodations to seat comfortably the large major
ity of those present. In fact, no preparation was
lacking to subserve the comfort and convenience of
the vast audience. 1t was near eleven o'clock
when the procession formed by the various schools
marched 10 their respective positions in front of
the stand. The scene was truly enlivening, with
appropriate banners waving to the breeze, and
hundreds of happy children rallying beneath their
peaceful folds. The programme of the day was
admirably arranged by Mr. JOHN B. WATSON, act
ing rs chairman. In the forenoon, speeches were
delivered by Rev. II. F. SLOAN, Rev. w. E. VAL
TIERS, Rev. GEORGE W. PRESLEY, and Capt. JAS.
NJ. PIcKENs. After an hours recess, when tempt
ing viands were spread before the hungry multi
tude and ample justice administered to the pic mic
dinner, the audience re-assembled, and were ad-
dressed by JAMEs A. HoYT and Rev. w. I. FAR
ROW. The speeches were intersrersed with sing
ing by the several schools, both in the morning
and afternoon. Thus passed apleasant and profit
able day, devoted to the advancement of noble
cause, and without any occurrence calculated to
mar the harmony of the occasion.

the most extensive statement of this kind we have
lately seen is that the town of "Fort Scott requires

A CLIxcnEn.- Chattanooga Union, one of
the most spirited of our exchanges, embodics q
good deal of good sense in the following short par
agraph:
1t will be seen from our dispatches that Judge
Lawrence, of Nashville, has been authorized by
Gen. Carlin TO look after the interests of the ne
grocs discharged for voting the Radical ticket.
When the manufacturers of Connecticut discharged
their workmen last spring for not voting the Radi-
cal ticket, VIC never heard that the Freedmen's Br
rcau deemed it necessary 10 interfere. This whole
frcedmcn's business is the most internal humbug
of the age. If the negroes are fit to exercise the
rights of citizenship, they certainly in need of
no other protection than the laws given to white
citizens, and if they arc children, and need The
protection of the United States continually, it is
imposition upon the country and an Insult to its
citizens to confer upon them an equality of civil
rights with them.
