1t is long time since anything has
been heard of South Carolina. It
has been so thoroughly subjugated TO
negro domination that we did not
know there was a particle of pluck
left. Recently, however, some of the
whites have vontured to demonstrate
against tho great orime which Com
grcss is eEac,ing. Thoysay: t'E's'n
"You make us pass under the yoke,
and we shall have to do 80, by every
means which God and Congress have
left us under the Constitution aud
laws we shall resist this domination of
an inferior race, by peaceful means,
by political efforts, by industrial
agency. We will Garry on this 20.
litical contest until we regain the
control which of right belongs to tho
power Of mind and tho influence Of
virtue"
We like to hear even this modest
remcnstnnce against crime wholly
without parallel in the history Of
the world. 1t certainly justifes any
means of resistance and retribution I,
and we only regret that South Caro-
lima has not the power to deal with
these audacious usurpers and despots
as they deserve. The Crisis, Ohio.

If the deaths from disease be add
ed, the sum total will present the en-.
tire loss. The returns of the field
and general hospitals are known
for l86l.62, and if it be fair
to assume that the total mortality of
1863, and 1864 was fully equal to that
of 1862, then the total Of deaths in
the. Confederate army in l86l:65 was
at least 100000, exclusive of tho
deaths in the Northern prisons, which
would swell the number to near 1885,.
600; and if tho deaths among the
discharged for wounds and disease,
and among tho sick and wounded on
furlough, be added, the grand total Of
deaths in the Confederate army, dur.
ing the entire war, did not fall far
short of 100000. According to this
oalo lation, the deaths from disease
were about three times as numero US
as those resulting from the casualitios
of battle.
The available Confederate force
capable of active service did not, dur.
ing The entire war, exceed 100000
men. Of this number not moro than
100000 worc enrolled Mt any one
time; and tho Confederate States
never had in tho field more th,n 2OO,-
600 men capable Of bearing arms at
any one time, exclusive of sick,
wounded and disabled.

a gentleman is man Of gont!e spirit,

us in all stations. 1t seemed to me
that the English middle GLASS showed
