Letter from Hon. 8. r Perry.

10 fhe I,tfi|orS Of Mc Co'Hmbia Munic:
1t is most extraordinary, indeed, and will
be as terrific in its results as it is now strange
and wonderful, to sec an educated. refined and
gallant people seeking rrposa and protection
from apprchcndcd political evils under the
government and control OF their former slaves
an inferior race utterly ignorant and de-
based /! There is nothing in the history of all
the natinr If the earth. for the last six thous.
and years, parable to it, in folly and mad
ness. Future a:.cs will rcgnrd it s the mast
! remarkable iatui.y that ever possessed any pee.
plo.
What change has como over the spirit
and feeling of South Carolina within the last
seven years The Federal Union was then
bcncfccnt, republican and constitutional =
There was not an Act of Congress, for eight
precious years, which any one complained Of
as unjust or oppressive. We were as happy
and prosperous as a people could be. And
yet that Union was hated and dcspiscd The
people rose up en- mnssc and solclnnly deter
mined to rid themselves Of it, or die in the at
tempt! Now, that Union has tramplcd the
Constitution in tile dust, violated every repub-
lican principle, and heapcd on us tyranny and
oppression, which, its Chief Magistrate do.
clarea, no people, epcaking the English Ian.
guagc, have borne, for the last five hundred
years! And tho people of South Carolina
have so changed, within seven short years,
that they arc now clamorous to get back into
that Union, and hug its tyranny and opprcs-
sion to their bosoms Ito lick the rod that has
smote them to the earth and desolated their
State +! In order to hasten their return, they
arc not only willing to give up all tho rights
of their Stato-all constitutional and repub-
lican principles, and fgovcrnmcnt-bu to
transfer the Government Of their once proud
and chivalric State into the hands of tho no
groes Intelligence, virurc and refinement
arc to be ruled by ignorance and b,soncss !.
The wealth Of the State to be taxed and plum
dcred by race Of paupcrs, who will portion
out the lands and vote themselves homcstcads,
and whose legislation will be such as to bring,
eventually, sooner, or later, war Of races, in
which one or tho other must be cxterminated.
Whilst writing, havo been told that confs-
cation was boldly avowcd by the negro con-
vontion which assembled in Charleston last
week.
1t is n great mistake to suppose that, by all
this humiliation and degradation, We shall get
back into the Union, or bo relieved of militia
ry government. Congress has given no such
guarantee, and loading radicals assert tho con-
trnry. The Union will not bc restored till of-

err, and by the consent of the gentlemen above
mentioned, have become responsible for t',o
distribution Of these stores. Out of consider
alton for the old, the very young, and the in
6rm, have decided to make the issue through
the local authorities, instead of calling on the
impoverished to present themselves at Green
willie G. r.
Each Magistrate in Greenvillc District and
in the Ffsh Regiment of Pickcns District, is
spectacle citizens, who shall assist him in tho
distribution, and also in procuring that a wag-
on DO sent to Greenvile G. H. for the sup
plies. 1t is believed that humane persons can
be found who will furnish such wagons g,ufts,
or for small compensation, which can be
raised in the beat by subscription. Wagons
sent here on ordinary business might be utl-
izea for this purpose.
Each WAGNER should bring letter from
the Magistrate, showing that he Is the proper
person to receive the supplies. On presenting
such letter ut my office in the old Court
House at Greenvilic, he will obtain his load
The stores on hand and to arrive will furnish
for the reg ion in question on average Of about
fifty.six bushels of Corn to each beat, besides
sixty-two pounds Of Bacon for each beat in
Greenvillc District.
In such beats as are without Magistrates
the above duties will be performed by those
persons who have been charged with tac ma
kin, out of lists, aided by citizens whom tl,rJ
are npowcrcditS'csl for that purpose
The ration 10 be issued is to cover 4. month,
and will consist Of one bushcl of Corn and
eight poinds Of Bacon (f any) for each adult,
and half that Quantity Of Corn and Bacon for
each child under the age Of fourteen
The Magistrates will select the recipients
with care, and will supply the most needy
cases frss, remembering that the stores arc
only " to prevent starvation and extreme
want"
In measuring the Corn, small allowance
should be made for wastage, so that tho last
served may receive an equal share with tho
first. Where the Corn is forwarded IN bags,
each bag will be considered aud issued as two
bushels.
AS the lists of the destitute are yet far from
complete, the wagons will not report here for
their loads before Thursday, the 23d of May.
Magistrates throughout the two Districts
who have not forwarded lists to this Office,
will do 80 as promptly as possible. If they
have no destitute or naturally unfortunate to
report, they will so inform nc by lctcr.

CAPABILITIES OF TIE SOUTH-Thc Now
York Etpress says:
The South have iron, COAL slate and marble
beneath the soil, and climate capable of cv-
cry variety Of production upon its surface
The Southern States arc nearer the West. and
ono of them nearer Europe, than VIC are
Their present prospects re blighted by two
causes-that Of the war, and the radical su.
premacy in Congress, which has covered the
land like a mildew. But there must DO an
cnd to all this, and the end will be seen just
as soon as tho question Of reconstruction is
settled. The less, for time, tho South has
to do with politics, and the moro it has to do
with its material interests, tho better If tho
North will be content with non interference
with Southern society--if it will let tho people,
white and black, act in their own interests
if it ceases all political prosclyting, it will
soon find labor more settled education moro
dffuscd, agricultural prosperity moro general,
and the country more prosperous.
The capabilities Of the South are immense,
and ought at once to attract the attention of
Northern capital. There is no reason why
double last years cotton crop should not bo
Produced and three times the corn and wheat
and rico that was harvested in 1866. The
South welcomes all capitalists, all kinds of la
Dor, every means OF thriit, wealth and indus
try. And it is impossible to help the South
without helping ourselves, and especially tho
trade and commerce of this great city"
