a SECRET CORRESPONDENT New
York Herald, of Friday, says:
Our correspondent ut Columbia, s. c.,
has recently mado n trip of some length
through the State, and is of opinion THAT
the railroads arc as demoralzed rs the peo-
pie. Columbia still plainly shows the
marks of the fire which swept over it dur
ing the war. The people are generally
disposed to feel reckless in regard to the
consequences of reconstruction, and work
themselves into fit of passion when talk
ing about it. Our correspondent believes
that there is some sly artifice concealed be-
meath the professions of Wade Hampton
and Others, nt the recent colorcd mass
meeting, conciiatory of the negroes. They
talk very differently in private CONVEX
sation.
We should say that this correspondent is
one among thousand. The people of this
State reckless of tho consequences of recon-
struction; tho decentralization" Of rail
roads, and the 'artifces' of Wade Hamp-
ton, which this acute correspondent has
discovered in this locality, cntitle him to q
leather medal and a high rank in Benefits 8
editorial staff. Columbia Phanir.
