SATURDAY MORNING, AUGUST IA, 1855
Our 0uosts and our Duty.

II To, day the party of gentlemen, who three
weeks ago we're pelted through oar streets
by an infuriated mob Of negroes, will revisit
Charleston by special invitation. They will
come as the honored guests Of our people,
and we trust that the warmth Of their re-
oeption now will DO such as to efface forever
the recollection Of the disgraoeful scenes
which attended their recent visit. It would
be affeotation, however, to ignore the fac.
that certain turbulent negroes among
as openly threaten q repetition Of
the riotous assault upon our savan
nah guests. We need hardly add that
the white men Of this city are IN
no mood to endure this fresh ignsminy.
Every consideration Of honor and Of inter
eat. Of duty and of deoenoy, would forbid it.
H. may be that Mayor Pillsbury means, this
time, to do his whole duty. The police may.
and, we hope, will be able aud willing to
enforce order and maintain the public
peace. But We cannot shift upon the
shoulders Of . weak and vacillating off
cial the sacred obligations Of hospitality
which we ourselves have deliberately as
sumed. Nor can we forget that the Mayor
controls to-day no stronger force than was
at his command when he publicly declared
h'mself ''powerless" to protect the unof
Tending strangers who had come at our
bidding The proper treatment Of the visitors
whom we are to receive to o-day will be an af-
fair for which our own people have become
exclusively responsible before the country.
And we much mistake their temper II they
again brook injury or insult, come whence
it may. s

whites increase every day. Throughout
the State the people are sonadent and
cheerful. We have more hard money than
we had in 1860, and, in every sense Of the
word, South Carolina has made as much
progress sinoe 1866 as has been made by
eny one Of her sister States.
This is the plain unvsrnished fact, and
we trust that the Macon Telegraph will At
once publish our denial Of ass ssrsions which
are calculated to do this whole State serious
and lasting injury. ,2

THE Lost HANUseR1PT. BY Gustav Freytag.
New York; D. Appleton e Co. Charleston:
John Russell. 4
Felix Werner, q, professor in German
University, learns from an old book which
comes by chance into his possession that
complete copy of the Annals of Tacitus was
in existence in 1887, when it was hidden by
monk to save it from the "Swedish Doors.
The search for this "Lost N .nuscript" is
the motive Of the book before us, which,
though somewhat long, is more than com
monty interesting. The characters are we'll
marked. They are not all made in the same
mould, plunging and ducking like puppets
whenever the string is pulled. They move
and speak like men and women, who are
not all s,nuer or all saint. And in this
work, we are glad to say it, there is nothing
whatever Of the horrible or grotesqua. The
incidents succeed each other naturally, and
while there is no elaborate plot--as there is
no elaborate plot in ordinary life-the at
tenti04 will hardly flag from the first page
to the last. The descriptions Of Germap
life-in the village, in the castle, and in the
uuAvVASsuy UAASus 0AO pAO uT0S4u0,
andthere is quiet philosophical spirit per-
vading the whole, which gives the s.Lost
Manuscript" real though intangible
charm, and makes it, in truth, q pleasant
book to read in the quiet summer days.
