limited space forbids it. We entertain neither
personal nor political hostility to Mr.. Perry j;
but we felt it to be our duty to express our
dissent to the views he has expressed, and the
issue which these views suggest and prompt
to our people, as unSise in conception and
dangerous to our future welfare as u people.
Our limits to- day preclude much further com
ment upon this extraordinary letter, and we
may refer to it again but if cur feeble voice
could reach every household and every voter
in South Carolina We would say to each and
to all, that our only hope for safety-our only
tangible reliance for restoration to our rights
and the retrcval of our shattered fortunes
is in prompt compliance with the laws Of
Congress- The people of South Carolina are
peculiarly liable to the slanders Of those who
are opposed to them, when they denounce
them as impenitent rebels; let US not, there,
fore, by foolish contumacy, strengthen theil
hands or give any cause for their false allega
tions. The whole purport and tenor of ex.
Governor Perry's letter we deem unwarrantet
in fact, and do not reflect the feelings or sen
timents of the people Of South Carolina a
the present crisis in their affairs.

Lamentable Death of an HOnOred

; No merchants are more widely known and hon.
orsd throughout our District than the Bros. GRAY.
of Augusta Ono of them, Mr.. PATnIoK GRAZ,
of the firm of GRAY & TuRLEY, has lately come
to his death under very sad and.seemingly ine1-
plicablc circumstances. On Sunday morning tho
5.h inst, itwas discovered that his bed had not
been slept upon during the preceding night. His
watch and chain, discovered one from the other,
were found lying upon the floor of his chamber.
For five days his fate remained shrouded in mys-
terry; though the discovery of his hat in the
river on tho day after his disappearance, gave
rise to rety painful apprehensiOns. In the menn-
time, his brothers Messrs.,JAMEs A. and ANDREW
GRAY offered very large rewards for the appre-
honsion of his murderer, should he have been
fouly dealt with or, otherwise, for the recovery
of his body.
On the Thursday afternoon following his dis
appearance, his body was found in tho river, a
milo below the bridge. After having been con-
veyed to the house Of Mr.. JAMES A. GRAY 0
thorough examination Of the body was made by
DR.. STEINER, who failed to discover any marks Of
violence. The jury of inquest rendered IL verdict
to the effect that the deceased CAME to his death
by drowning in the Savannah river while laboring
rnder temporary insanity.
This sad death is But another proof Of the in,
scrutabc workings of divine providence; fol
pArEIcXiGEAf was mon of regular habits o.
the most enviablc financial and social status, aut
of great personal popularity. 1t would have
seemed that life had for him many charms
His funeral, one of the most largely and hon
orably attended ever known. in Augusta, took
place on Friday afternoon last. We respectfully
beg leave to express our earnest sympathy in the
crief of his surviving brothers.

SENATOR WILSON, i Dl5 ir3VeIIltS lillSSlOIi
ary of. the Radical party delivered, yesterday
afternoon, at the, City Hall, long winded,
rambling speech to large crowd of colored,
people, men, women and boys and q few whites.
The negroes app'audcd muchly. The speech
was made, for the party--not the country
and abounded in false statementS PARTICULAR
,ly the assertion that the r republican party
had never lied!. He told one truth, however +;
he said, that the resolution passed by Con-
gress in 1861, declaring that thewar was not
waged to subjugate the Southern States or to
interfere with their INSTITUTE Ms Slavery was
often thrown up TO him; it was true, ne con-
tinued, that Congress did pass the resolution
and at the time intended to carry on the con-
test according to the Constitution and the
laws but, after eighteen months, hoping that
the secess,onists wouldreconstrlct, ,they (Con.
gress) did what they ought to. have done at
the beginning-abolished slavery. Which We
think, according to his first sentence, meant
abolished the Constitution. Of the United
States. The speech, at least tho portion We
heard, was labored effort to secure'the votes
of the black man and the white gulls for the
Radicalaparty at all hazards and even through
utter decentralization, which would iinaiiyend
in contest between the races. .gca@a ~!
