DEAR SIR Your letter of thc lOtl
instant has been received, making Ger
tain enquiries in relation to the form:
or history of Governor Il. *. Scott, Of
South Carolina.
You say that there isa report in
circulation that he was Il "dcfaultcl
while practicing law iii philadclphia,
Pa.'
The receipt Of such q lcttcr occa
stoned very great surprise, assure
you and what could give rise to such a
report is still more surprising.
There is not the slightest founda-
tiom in the world for such Il charge.
Governor Scott is not and never was
a lawyer, and never lived in philadcl
rhia.
lie was born in Armstrong County
Pa, and came to Ohio with his parents
when he was about eighteen years old,
and resided in Columbus until he
finished his medical education, after
which he took up his residence in this
(llcnry) county, and comm yt,ccd the
practice Of medicine. He was ongag-
cd in the practice of medicine in this
country from the year 1852, until
about the time the war broke out,
when he entered the al NY as an OIL
Ger in the GSth regiment, Ohio lnfan-
try, and continued in tie service un-
til he was elected Governor of South
Carolina.
have been intimat y acquainted
with Governor Scott for about sixteen
years, and linoY him to be Il high
minded, honorable gen remcn, at all
times one Of our first md respected
citizens
will also state that he is deserved
~ one ofthc most popular mon in our
State.
Governor Scott owns a large amount
OF real estate and other property in
this county, is considered one Of our
wcalthicst men, and owes no man one
dollar, here OF elsewhere, to my know
ledge
Allow me to say, in conclusion, that
J. DO not agree with Governor Scott in
politics, but make the above state
ment checrfully, because truth and
justice require nc to do so.
Hoping that this letter may contri
butte to put to rest the gross slandcr
you refer to.
J. remain, yours truly,
JAMES Ct: HALy.

Selected Poetry.
DON'T STAY LONG,

DUN'T STAY LONG,
A look of yenrning tenderness
Beneath her lashes lies,
And hope and lovo unutterable
Are shadowod in her eyes,
AS in some deep unrufiled stream
Arc clouds and summer skies.
She passed to carly womanhood,
From dreamy. sweet girl fife,
And crossed the rosy threshold but
10 find herself n wife;
Oh! gently should he lead her stops
Along the path Of life!
And as she olaspea her small white hands
Cpon his arm SO strong,
How often, like q summer sigh.
Or II sweet pleading song,
She whispers, with a parting kiss,
"Bclov'd one, don't stay long,"
It's almost always oil hef lips,
Her gentlcst parting word,
Sweet as, tho fragrance from rose leaves
When by soft zcphyrs stirred,
And lingering in the memory
Like song ofsummer birds.
And in his heart they nestle warm,
Whcu other scenes amid;
Hcstays not till she weary grows,
And Ter fond eyes are hid
In tears which lie in bitterness
Beneath each yelling lid.
And oh, how many hearts arc kept
BY that love uttcring song
There's scarcely one who on life's waves
Is swiftly horne l8hg,
But what has heard from some dear lips
Those sweet words, Don't Stsy Long"

ScHooLs--Scuo6ls EoN fitE tAS+NUo.
rloN OF NEGROES, ETc.--The early his.
tory Of the Colony of South Carolina
proves, beyond cavil, that she was the
first OF the original thirteen Colonies to
establish, by Act Of Assembly, Free
Schools for the education Of the children
of the Colonis,s. South Carolina in her
Legislative capacity, has always made
ample provision for the support OF
schools. If any portion of her citizens
have failed to profit by her Lbcrulty in
this respect, no blame can be attached to
her legislators. 10 South Carolina also
IS Justly duo tho credit Of bcing tho frs,
State to cnlow College by onactment
of the Legislature She also, we believe,
endowed the first Institution for the
Deal, Dumb and Blind, us wen as the
first Insane Asylum. Her legislators
have always felt it their sacred duty to
provide amply for the care OF those who
lave been bcrc!t Of reason, and to
provide for and instruct those whom
Providence has denied tho blessings of
vision and speech.
If the Free Schools Ill South Carolina
lacked that thorough system of organ.
zation which has attended Lesser efforts
On the part of other States, 1t was owing
to the Tact that her population was scat.
tered over II vast extent of country-in
some cases families residing five or ten
miles apart. Besides large portion OF
the soil was barren, requiring the mli-
vidcd labor Of entire HOUSEHOLDS to make
a scanty living, thereby deprving the
youth OF many worthy families OF an op.
portunity to atleiid school da regularity lis
they desired.
In cities, town and villages where
tho population was more concentrated,
n liberal education has been afforded to
all who chose to avail themselves of the
Sta,es's lberalty. In addition to the
Free Schools, there has Gccn . large
number OF private schools, of high or.
der, most literally sustained.
Our sketch will likewise show that
public instruction was impaired to the
negro for period OF Il quarter Il century

WEST VIRGINIA, Aug. 26, 1868.
General, Il have had the honor to
tccekYc your letter of this date. and in
accordance with your, suggcstionsI have
conferred will Humber of gentlemen
ifort tito South, in whose judgment I
have confdcd, and who arc well ac.
quainted with the public sentiment Of
thoir respective States. They have
kindly consented to unite with NC in
replying to your communication, and
their names will DO found, with my own
appended to this answer. With this
explanation we proceed to give yo" o
candid statement Of what we believe to
bethe sentiment of the Southern people
In regard to the subject to which you
refer.
Whatever opinions may have prevail.
cd in thb pastin regard to African sla.
very or tho right Of a State to secedc
from the Union, we believe we express
the almost unanimous Judgment of tho
Southern people when we declare that
those questions were decided by tho war,
and that it is their intention. in good
faith to abide by tllat'decisioh.
AT the close Of tho war the Southern
people laid down their arms and sought
to resume their former relations with the
United States Government. Through
their State conventions they abolished
slavery and annulled their ordinances Of
secession, and they returned to, their
,eASgaG% pursuits with a sincere purpose
to fuli1 all their duties under the CON
stitution Of the United States which they
had sworn 10 protect. fftheir action in
these particulars bad beer met in spirit
offrankncss and cordiality, we believe
that ere this old irritations would have
passed away, and the Wounds inflicted
by the war would have% been, in a great
measure, healed. AsAtas we are ad.
vised the people Of The South entertain
no uniricndly feeling to@atts tho Gov.
ernment Of the United States bnt they
complain that their rights under tlio
Constitution are withheld from them In
the administration thereof. fstaf BIZ
The idea that the Southern people aro
hostile to the negroes, and would op-
press them if it were in. their power to
doEso, is entirely unfounded. They have
grown upin our miast, andS5 we have
been accustomed from childhood 10 look
upon thom with kindness. Tho change
in sl'c relations Of the two races has
wrought no change III Sur feeling to-
wards them. They still constitute tile
important part Of our laboring popula-
ton. Without their labor the lands Of
the South would be comparatively un.:
productive. W;thou. tic employment

IMMIGRANT VS.. GARRETT T-BAGGEn.-
The difference Of meaning between
"immigrant' and "carpet-baggcr" is
as wide as tho difference between one
who arrives in a country to fix his
residence there, and ono who comes
into it for the purpose of confscating
the silver spoons of it's inhabitants.
The former is an ''immigrant :" the
latter, however; is only a partial def
nition of the carpdt-baggcr."
Tie word is compound Of "car.
pet" and "baGger." Its meaning is
the component of two ideas The first
half, "carpct knight blovant swash-
buckler Of mighty valorousncss in n
drawing room, when there arc no bel
licosc malo persons present.
"Bag, IA sack or pouch to put
anything in" "Bag, q. u.-to put
into bag" "Bagging, n.-thc act
ofputting into bags" "Baggcr, 49,
ono who performs the act of bagging."
From these standing definitions, tho
meaning of 'carpct-bagger" will
plainly appear. Tho "carpet-baggor
is q bloviant ewashbucklor of mighty
rcno@n for something other than milf
tary service, who goes into tho South.
'ern States;to bag cmoluments of Office.
Hisresidencc, if he have any, is in a
Northern State. His taxable effects
exist only in imagination. His
worldly goods are contained In small
hand-sack, usually 'mado Of carpetipg
"a circumstance which is supposed
to have suggested to the inventive
American mind tho word which so
forcibly and accurately expresses the
true character Of this wandering po-
litical Micawber-thi vagrant dcma-
goguo in quest of stoils. There is no
other word in the English language
which will express tho truth, with all
its nice shades Of meaning, so corrcct-
ly and SO we'll. There is no name for
tho combination Of ideas which an
oflice.holder in the South involves,
but the name "carpctbagger."

oan only hope that to whichever sido
victory inclines it will give no doubt
full voice. Let the decision be posi-
tivc--ono side Oh the other-for
therein is our only safety. From an
election that either ono sido or the
other can by, any ingenuity dispute
We will have civil war. Some
of ;hc Southern States are preparing
for this possibility in making laws to
take tho vote for President from
Democratic communities and giyo it
to Radical Legislatures. Should tho
Republican candidate be elected only
in virtue Of those manWuvrcs it will
take another war to put down tho
protest against him. Should tho
election turn on any one of many
such contingencies peace will be far
ther away than over, and, therefore,
it is to be hoped tho Northern people
themselves will make the decision
absolute.
