The Peace OF tho State.

We publish in another column letter
written by colored member of the late
Constitutional Convention to colored man
in Columbia. The writer says: at is my
"candid conviction that we will carry the
"district. But we will do it by wading
"through a sea of blood and climbing q
"mountain of dead mems bones" He tells
the usual falsehoods about the whites, and
says that his people stand "with an undi-
"vided column and an unbroken front"
We have no fear that there will be any
bloodshed at the coming elections. No
"raw-head and bloody-bones" will cause
the white people to swerve from their de-
termination to avoid the occasion Of riot
and disturbance. The negroes will not be-
gin o contest which would end in their
extinction as race. We simply publish
the letter to show our friends in the North
that the very negroes who frame our organic
laws, and sit in our legislative halls, are
infaning the passions of their tools by
mouthing about seas of blood and an undi-
vided front, while the persistent endesvors
of every respectable white man is to pre-
serve and maintain the peace.

tres; the human voice, at 1000 metres tive
eighths Of mile); the croaking OF frogs,
at 800; and the chirping Of a cricket at
800 metres. It is not 80 in the case OF
descending sound; for the voice Of the @ro-
naut. at an altitude of 100 metres, can
not make itself heard distinctly. 1he clouds
offer no impediment to an ascending sonnd.
The average velocity per second N the latter
case is about $40 metres. The quiet waters OF
a lake echo the sound best upward. While
the balloon moves in obedience to the current,
its shadow sweeps either the earth or the
clouds. 1t is generally black, but it sometimes
happens that, falling on darker spot than it
self, it assumes rather luminous appearance.
In this case, examined through telesc ope, 1t
is found to consist of dark central nucleus,
surrounded by luminous penumbra. On tho
green trees Of forest it appears yellow. On
the clouds, when they are white, and at the
moment Of issuing again into the pure sky
with the sun shining, the air balloon IS minute
depicted with all its details, and OF q graYlsh
hue When it has reached an altitude OF three
thousand metres, the sky appears dark and I'M
penetrable, in proportion as there is dImlnu-
ton OF moisture. The light Of the rising sun
appears to penetrate through every terrestrial
object. while that Of the moon, which is always
red, seems only to glide over them.
