FRESH HoNoRs TO FORMER
TowNsMAN.-Through the American
Legation at Constantinople, Profes-
sor j. Lawrence Smith, native of
Charleston, but now residing in
Kentucky, has just received from the
Sultan of Turkey new token of the
Imperial favor, being nothing less
than the decoration of the Mojidieh,
o beautiful ornament in itself, and
imparting the highest favor of His
Imperial Highness. The decoration
is accompanied by diploma express
sive of the Sultan's object in con-
ferring it. This is the second deco
ration which Professor Smith has
received from the Sultan of Turkey.
Nor has the recognition Of his SER
vices to science come from Turkey
alone. Only last year, the French
Government, as is known, conferred
on him the the decoration of the
Knight of the Legion of Honor.

The State Auttoftty PEsJudiced.
We learn chat these deraonstra-
lions are not unusual in this town;
Under the teachings OF the colored
man, Wimbush, and the Rev. "
Whittemore, . latter-day saint. the
freedmen seem disposed to cultivate
the art of war. On Saturday last, a
large party assembled at the church
near the village. and, with music and
come fifteen or sixteen guns in ranks,
formed and marched to o gathering
on the Union road. In the evening,
they returned in the same military
style, and marched through the
town, making noisy and defiant
demonstration. Fortunately, nothing
serious occurred. The whites are
determined, here as elsewhere, to be
forbearing to the last degree. In
violation of the law, the freedmen
form military bodies. bear arms, and
drill frequently, and yet we do not
perceive that the State authorities
take any steps to prevent this.
The fact of the matter is, we have
now State Government in hostility
to the white people and in alliance
with the radical party, and it is time
for this to be understood The exc
cutive department is radicalized; so
is the judiciary; so is the Legislature.
Whatever is Democratic is disloyal;
whatever radical is loyal. This is
the state of affairs.

The Bank OF tho State.

Elsewhere in our columns, we
print an elaborate communication
from the pen of the Hon. I. w.
Hayne, the last of the Attorney
Generals of South Carolina, in re-
sponse to the opinion of Mr.. D.
II. Chamberlain, the first Attorney
General of our reconstructed State,
in reference to the bill now pend
ing in the Legislature, ''to close
the operations of the Bank of the
State" The merits of this mea-
sure have already been discussed by
us, but we take pleasure in spread
ing this able paper before the pub
lie, and more especially the Legis-
lature, to the calm consideration of
which we commend that body, in
the hope that it will enable the
members to see more clearly the
enormity of the legislation which
they propose to accomplish.

The Pope is pushing on the forti-
fications of Rome with all possible
expedition, and he has lately been
receiving heavy armaments of siege
guns from Toulon. His Holiness is
fairly convinced that Europe is on
the eve of q great war, and, few
days since. he took occasion to de-
plore the bloodshed that would at
tend it. At the same time, he be-
lieyes that the result will be very
advantageous to the papacy and the
temporal power.

The Spirit OF the South.

VA TIC SOuth.
The whole capital of the radicals
in the present canvass is derived
from the misrepresentation and per-
version of remarks made by Demo
cratic orators, so as to give them the
aspect of warlike or rebellious ten
dency-a purpose to resort to violent
measures to accomplish their objects.
In most of the remarks cited, there
is downright fraud and falsehood.
What the radical demagogues charge
was either never uttered, or the sense
of what was said is so wrested from the
real meaning of the speaker, or SO
grossly perverted, as to give an ap-
parent sanction to the calumny that
violent and belligerent designs were
in contemplation by persons who are
presumed to speak for the Demo-
cracy. Now. all this is shamefully
mendacious and hypocritical. The
Democratic party is the party which
is the most interested in peaceful and
civil measures, and in the restoration
of the old modes of determining
political issues. Whoever appeals to
violence, or suggests a resort to any
but the constitutional methods of
achieving political ends, is an enemy
to the success and objects of that
party. 1t is to get rid of all such
revolutionary and irregular purposes;
to bring back the Government to the
character and usages of its founders;
to relieve it and the people from
military bondage, and subject them
to the control of opinion, moral
ideas, and purely civil administra-
ton. that the conservatives have
combined together in such irresistible
force. If there are reckless mouth
ers and orators who, in dearth of
ideas, relieve themselves of that pent
up valor by rhetorical fourishes,
scented Of "villainous salt-petre" and
breathing desperate resolves of
"dying in the last ditch" Offering
themselves on the altar of liberty,
and "taking up arms in vindication
Of the right, etc., let them be noti-
fed that they do not represent the
taste, ideas and sentiments of our
people, who desire and demand
peace, and an abandonment of all in
cendiary schemes, appeals and Ian
guage. Let the true and unmistak-
able desire, spirit and interest of the
people of the South prevail in all
our speeches and movements, and
let these be assumed as the true in
dicia of the purposes and designs of
this section. Circumstances never so
imperatiyely demanded the restora-
tion of law, order and permanent
peace. The people, as the New Or
leans Times declares, are ready to
make enormous sacrifices to secure
these objects. It is only through
them that our freedom, our rights,
our prosperity and the maintenance
of the Constitution and the Union
can be assured. Those who encou-
rage any idea of the necessity, or pro-
liability Of resort to violence, are
either our enemies and calumniators,
or they belong to o class of silly
spouters end demagogues, who eke
out their scant rhetoric by infamma-
tory words and figures. which are re-
ceived and laughed over as the Pick
| wickian utterances of straitened and
distressed declaimers.

WHO IS GOVERNOR SCoTr?-
following letter, addressed to citi-
zen of Columbia, is from the pen Of
distinguished Democrat, who re-
sides in the adopted home of Gov.
Scott:
NAPOLEON, ONO, August 19.
J c. Janney, Esq, Columbia, S. C.
DEAR SIR: Your letter of the 10th
ult. has been received, making GER
tain inquiries in relation to the
former history of Gov. r. K. Scott,
of South Carolina. You say that
there is report in circulation that
he was "defaulter while practicing
law i'll Philadelphia, Pa" The re-
ceipt of such letter occasioned very
great surprise, L assure you, and
what could give rise to such a report
is still more surprising.
There is not the slightest founda-
tion in the world for such charge.
Gov. Scott is not, and never was,
q lawyer, ard never lived in Fhiiadel-
phia.
He was born in Armstrong Coun-
ty, Pa, and came to Ohio with his
parents when he was about eighteen
years old, and resided in Columbus
until he finished his medical educa-
ton, after which he took up his resi-
dence in this Henry County, and
commenced the practice of medicine
He was engaged in the practice of
medicine in this County from the
year 1852, until about the time the
war broke out, when he entered the
army as an officer in the 68th regi.
ment, Ohio Infantry, and continued
in the service unit! he was elected
Governor of South Carolina.
I have been intimately acquainted
with Gov. Scott for about sixteen
years, and know him to be high
minded, honorable gentleman, at all
times one Of our first and respected
citizens. I will also state that he is
deservedly one of the most popular
men in our State.
Gov. Scott owns large amount of
real estate and other property in this
County, is considered one of our
wealthiest men, and owes no man
one dollar, here or elsewhere, to my
knowledge. .r... .s.o
Allow me to say, in conclusion,
that do not agree with Gov. Scott
in politics, but make the above state
ment cheerfully, because truth and
Justice require me to do SO.
Hoping that this letter may contri-
butte to put to rest the gross slander
you refer to- / remain, yours truly,
JAMES Ct. HALY. T

The Campaign Opened in York Dis
tricteIass Meeting of the Demo-
crncy OF York-The Banner of Sey-
mour and Blair Formally Un-
fur1cd.
Agreeably to notice, the Democrats
of York assembled in mass meeting
on Saturday last, the Goth of August.
At an early hour, the streets were
filled with the people from the coun-
try. An extra train from Chester
reached the town about half-past 9
o'clock q. M, bringing in number
of visitors, who were welcomed with
an artillery salute by "the boys"
The well-known band of the old
Sixth Regiment paraded through the
town, headed by the marshal of the
day and his six aides-de-camp, to-
gether with the color-guard, who
boro the stars and stripes and cam
paign banner containing the names
of Seymour and Blair.
The first incident of the morning
was the formal raising of an immense
Seymour and Blair flag in the centre
of the town. Colonel w. B. Wilson,
on this occasion, made most spirit
ed and eloquent address.
Colonel McCorkle, the chief mar
shal of the day. next formed the pro-
cession, which, headed by the band
and followed by the committee of
arrangements and the speakers,
moved to IL grove near by, which had
been selected for the meeting. Here
stage had been erected, which the
hand of woman had tastefully adorned
with floral wreath. The President
of the meeting. j. D. Witherspoon,
Esq, then announced that the exer-
cises would open with Divine recog-
milton, whereupon reverend gentle
man present invoked the blessings of
God upon the country and the
cause.
Mr.. Witherspoon next introduced
Colonel j. P. Thomas, who spoke,
and was followed by Colonel Il. Stobo
Farrow, of Spartanburg, General E.
M. Law, Colonel Asbury Coward and
Colonel W. 3. Wilson, all of York.
The large crowd assembled, composed
of both sexes and both classes of the
people, listened to the speakers with
unusual attention, and responded to
the sentiments with great earnest
ness.
In the afternoon, q meeting took
place at the Court House, and Dis
trict Central Club was duly organ
lied. We learn that there are about
twenty local clubs in the District,
and they are still forming. The sons
of York are aroused, and all is well
in this patriotic District.

s Isoaeneranz's ConEcrvnse with L.ses8f
~ Al correspondent of the New York
Herald writes aes follows, under date
OF White Sulphur Springs, w. Va,
August 27, 1863: FIltaY9i II, a3f
Il General Rosencranz has just left
here for the East. He has evidently
produced fine impression, his de-
parture being regretted by all classes
here During %his stay, General
Rosencranz has had the fullest and
freest interchange of opinions with
leading and most Influential men
from every Southern State. On
yesterday, he addressed letter to
General Lee, in which he expressed
his views of the present condition of
affairs in the country, and the neces-
sity for g speedy restoration of good
feeling between the men of the
North and the South, and asking
him to give a written expression of
his views as to the best way by which
this era of good feeling between the
sections could be restored. To this
communication General Lee respond
ed with his accustomed frankness and
directness, expressing his reverence
for the Constitution Of the United
States, and his ardent desire for
complete union of the States as of
old, and also his unqualified belief
that his reverence and desire were
shared by a large majority of
the refecting people of the South;
that the South now painted anxious
~ for peace and n return to
peaceful and constitutional admi-
nistration of the Government; that
they longed more ardently for that
greatest boon of American freemen
the right of self-government-
that the people of these States would
treat kindly and humanely the color.
ed people among them, if left to
themselves; that they would be i'm
PEELED to this by the dictates of their
own hearts as well as by feeling of
self-interest. General Lee, however,
was especially as emphatic in deplor-
ing the attempt to commit the political
destinies of these States to these
colored people at this time, before
they are prepared for such mighty
responsibility; an attempt which, he
remarked, is fraught with incalcula-
bic misfortune and calamities to the
whole country, North and South,
and with destruction to these colored
people themselves. General Lee was
joined in this communication by
such distinguished men as Beaure-
gard, Stuart, of Virginia; Stephens,
of Georgia; Conrad, of Louisiana,
and other men of note, both military
and civil, whose names are we'll
known to the country.
Igive but meagre outline of the
correspondence, which is in the
hands of General Rosencranz, and
which, it is hoped, will soon be given
to the country, as it must be produc-
tive of great good, as it ought to
dispel many mistaken impressions
which prevail in the minds of many
men at the North. 1t is only neces-
sary for the gallant men of the Union
and Confederate armies, to express
themselves in an unreserved manner,
to insure fraternizing among them.
These united efforts can be and ought
to be directed to the preservation of
common country.

AT a radical meeting, at Sumter,
on Saturday last, r. B. Elliott, one
of the speakers, used the following
language: *
''It is the design of the Democratic
party to reduce you again to serf-
dom and vassalage." "I want you
to remember all this, and remember
that your friends, the radical party,
have told you of it and warned you
how to avoid it." "Remember that
we have told you to put on your
swords, ye men of war, go out to
fight, for ye can take land and it
shall be yours" cries all over the
house of "yes, yes, yes, 1--WE will.
we will, )" eve want the land" Fdat
the ting" &c. . e,1 49, =
"In November next, you must adj,
minister to your Democratic fair
faces dose that will make them sick

best thing you can do is to kill them,
and when you bury them, I want you
to bury them with their faces down
wards" .sk f1rL III
