TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS.
The recent editorials of THE NEWS IN an
swer to the ignorant, injurious and prejudiced
statement Of the Westminster Review, are ad-
mirable and timely. New England prejudces
against the South, and South Carolina moro
especially, have for long years been transplan-
ted in English soil, where they have fourished
without let or hindrance. The provoking ig-
norance of the reviewer may, therefore, be
easily accounted for, and may, in the judg-
ment of charity, be supposed to be not wlful,
and, therefore, pardonable. Any information
derived from the "Hub" Of the universe or it's
environs, is always, as matter OF course, ex-
cathedra. Charles On was the hub of the re-
belion and South Carolina the nest Of slayeo-
Gratis. who had the hardihood to contend that
constitutions we're made to protect mlnorltles,
and that the doctrine OF the "hlgher law"
which was promulgated by the party OF pro-
gress-the transcendental, latter-day saints
was per6dious aud wicked: ACCORDING 10 tnese
worthies. the wish may be father to the thought
that these SINKS Of lniquity should he annlhii-
oted as righteous retrlbution for their deeds
and doctrines. It will require long process
OF reconstruction to wipe out this reproach,
which this generation will tardly witness.
Civilly, socially. ponucaily, rellSIously, Gull

toned as source OF prof able development.
A good many years ago, B. +. Hunt, then
distinguished member Of the Legislature from
Charleston and chairman ct The COMMITTEES

Cabinet Minister at the age of forty-one. The
red face and perfectly white eyebrows and hair
of Mr.. Lowe mark. him out from all his col
leagues. He ordinarily sits next to MIR: Glad
stone, who frequently turns to consult him.
MIR. Lowe has made Mr.. Gladstone smart be-
fore now-henoe, erhaps, the Premier's re-
spect for his opinions. A plain looking coun-
try gentleman is Mr.. Bruce, the Home
Secretary; and his companion, with Jewish
cast of face, is Mr.. Goschen, President Of the
Poor Law Board. Almost all OF these Ministers
are good speakers, except Mr.. Cos hen, who is
ing and affected. Some of the Under
Secretaries are able men, but their Parliament
ary manner would never lead o stranger to
think them so. Thus Mr.. Grant Duff, whose
annual reviews of foreign affairs have nude him
"man of mark" addresses the House in
high, shrill tone, with the true cochney drawl
and general abolition of "r's." Year lie calls
the awe-nspiring displays yet heard in the
present House the maiden-speech OF Mr. Yer
non Harcourt (''Historicus") was the most
memorable. MIR. Harcourt is well known in
town by name which cannot be used with
out blasphemy, but which is considered
to describe inadequately the inefable su-
periority of his mien and conversation.
MIR. Harcourt was not troubled with ner-
vousness on rising to address the House of
Commons for the first time. 1 heard his
speech. and it sounded as if great Jove him
self had condescended to come down 10 en-
Tighten foolish men with his wisdom. The
House listened, but few moro speeches in
that manner would be fatal to any beginner in
political life. There is one thing the House Of
Commons will never stand, and that is arro-
gance. Any man who presumes to lecture it,
or put on grand airs, soon finds out that he
has made an irrctrievabe mistake. MIR. Yer
non Harcourt is understood to have devoted
himself specially to the humiliation Of Mr..
Disracli. Perhaps one of these days MIR. Dis
raeli will have few remarks to make on
'Historicus," and then there will be another
nickname stamped ineffaceabIy upon peoples

VICTORY FOR TIE GOVERNMENT.
LONDON, March M-3:30 A. NJ. The debate
On the bill for the disestablish nent OF the Irish
Church was resumed in the House of Com
mons tonight. MIR. Spencer d. Walpole,
member for Cambridge University, opposed
the bill, and the O'Donogh lie, membar fer
Tralee, mado fervid speech in its favor.
MI. Claiborne Hardy followed. He said the
strength Of the Liberals came only from the
majorities at the hustings; it rested on no
frmer basis. Mr.. Gladstone had pledged him.
self and his followers to the destruction Of
all that was deemed most sacred. The des-
truction Of the church was urged by envy
and jealousy. The speaker maintained that
the church had always fulfilled its mission.
Mr.. Gladstone thcn rose 10 conclude tho do
bate. He reviewed the course Of the bill and
the arguments which had been made for and
against it. He declared that a new policy was
necessary for Ireland, and this was the first
step demanded by the unanimous voice Of the
majority.
MIR. Gladstone resumed his seat amid deaf
ening cheers, and the House divided on the
motion that the bill be read second time with
the following results; For the motion 1863,
against the motion $50; majority for the gov
ernment 118.
The announcement Of tho result was greatly
cheered in the House. The cheers were taken
up pby tt, people in the lobbles, and the news
was thus conveyed to an immense crowd out
side the House, who joined in the applause
with the widest enthusiasm.
The House at 8 o'clock in the morning ad-
iourned over the holidays to the first day OF

HILTON HEAD, March 22.-Some account OF
the condition of things at this place, which
loomed up SO suddenly into importance dur
ing the war and as suddenly reltpsed with the
close OF hostilities into obscurity, will, doubt
less, he of interest to tho readers otTHE NEWS.
The principal object OF interest to many,
Fort Beauregard, afterwards called Fort Welles,
has been dismantled and is now perfect
wreck, covered with weeds, its sea wall washed
away, and the work with the land Tor SANDY
around it leased out for farming purposes.
The prospect Of success to those who plant,
however, is rather poor, for every gale blows
the sand in banks almost as high as snow
banks at the North, and it is with difficulty
the produce can be kept from blowing away
with the shifting sand.
Merchants Row, the Broadway of hilton
Head, where once stood tho theatre, the bill
lard saloons, bar-rooms, restaurants, and
about thirty stores, with plenty of business, ls
now almost deserted. Many of the stores have
been taken down and others are close], only
four being now kept open. The theatre, bill.
lard saloons, bar-rooms and restaurants are
all closed, probably never more to be reopened
for the uses for which they were built.
The two hotels, the Port Royal House and
Sea Islaud Hotel, are both closed. The Sea
Island Hotel has Deen taken down and re-
moved to Florida, and the Port Royal House
has long been closed to tho public. Its pro-
prietor, E. S. Ridoll ESQ.,, with his family, will
in short time return North, when the Port
Royal Ho-se will be left alone in its glory.
The two churches, Catholic and Methodist,
ere both gone. The Methodist was taken
down, and the Catholic blown down by gale.
The splendid wharf built by the government
at an enormous expense, where steamships
of the largest class could com alongside and
lay at al times in perfect safety, and Where
numbe,s q of smaller vessels OF all descriptions,
making quito feet, might once have been
seen loading and unloading, making scene
of lifo aud activity that could scarcely be sur
passed BY any wharf in New York City. is now

WASHINGTON, March 2G.-IN THE House

pie of Cuba in their efforts to secure indcpend
ence and establish republican government
They also reported the former resolution
authorizing the President to recognize Cuba
Recommtted and ordered 10 be printed
The consideration of the Tenure-of-offce
bill was resumed, and, after long and de NOR
alizing debate, the House refused to concur in
the Senate amendments, and the bill was sent
back to the Senate as simple repeal.
In THE SENATE, all effort to take up the Mem
phis and Ell Paso Railroad bill failed.
The bill enforcing the conreution with Mex;-
co of July Z, 1868, was passed.
Adjourned to Monday.
Adm raj Hoff reports all quiet in the vicinity
of Havana.
It hss been raining here all day.
The Senate has confirmed all the recent
nominations except Lonestreet and Gunemort,
of Louisiana, and Plumb for Havana.
1t is expected that there will be quite fight
in the Senate over the nomination of General
LongstIeet as surveyor for New Orleans, as
several prominent Radical senators have de-
termined TO defeat him if possible. The De-
mocratic senator's have, upon consultation to-
gether, determined to vote for his confrma-
tion.
Mr.. Lemus, envoy from the insurgents in
Cuba, hls arrived here, but no steps have
been taken to present him to the State De-
partmen'. Secretary Fish, in anticipation
of the presentation of Mr.. Lemus, called
the Presidents attention to the fact, and it
is understood he will not b. received at
present. The government is formed that
the revolution is not as formidable as sup
posed, and that the Spanish Government is
constantly sending troops and munitions Of

rebellion.
