tate the employment Of several large vessels.
Several ofthese, more or less suited to; the pur-
poses of transportation, have already been se-
cured, and are now ostensibly engaged In the
coasting trade on the lakes. Thele are at
present not over eight of these vessels under
engagement as yet, but on the eve of great
movement their numbers may be increased
without much difficulty. Arrangements have
been also made to procure train Of baggage
wagons to carry the supplies of the divisions

see the FeDian dreamcrs and schemers either

by the conflict of diverse policies. Which
party is to prevail. Is the only question that
remains to be decided. It is narrowed down
to this question of life or death. Are the sold
iers, or the so-called statesmen and diploma
fists, to succeed? Walt and we shall see.

WH1TrEMoRE ON THE STUMP.
His Reception in sumter-The Unkinl-
est Cut of All-FIis Plea-The Upshot
of His Speech.
Ipaon OUR OWN CORRESPONDENTS

EX-Congrcssman Whittemore arrived here
on Saturday, having appointed that day to ad-
dress his ouondam constituents of this county.
Owing, however, either to the inclemency OF
the weather or, which Is more probable, to
instructions reported to have been sent out
by Moses, Jr., and Fcriter, to the colored
people not to come in, there were very few In
town, compared to the numbers composing
his audiences on former occasions. Worse
still, the great apostle OF Radlcalism, in the
DAYS of reconstruction, was not allowed by
men of his own party the privilege of speak
ing in the courthouse
"Shade of the night can 1t be
That this is oil remains OF thee"
Feritcr, one of the county commissioners,
declined giving up the key to the Honorable
divine, declaring that ":f he Is not fit to speak
il the halls of Congress, he Is not fit to speak
in the courthouse II being too wet to speak
in the open air, Whlttemore, as dernier re-
sort. made use of Emanuel Church, (colored. }
There, the dealer in cadctshlps addressed
an audience of about one hundred and
fifty persons for several hours. He went
oyer pretty much the same ground
covered by his letter published few
days ago. He declared that the cause of the
colored people was his own; that his aim had
always been to advance their interests; that he
had made persistent and successful efforts to
secure educational advantages to their chill
dren, and to supply the wants Of the poor and
needy. Being asked by Burrel James 10 cx-
plum the cadetship affair, he acknowledged
having received one thousand dollars, but had
applied 1t to charitable purposes.
lie received very little applause during his
address; but without doubt q great many of
his audience were convinced that he had acted
right. Though it seems TO be the determine
ton of the leaders of his party to give White
more the cold shoulder, and now that he has
fallen to keep him down, yet, If he succeeds in
reaching the ear of .he masscs-which he has
ample time to do-hc will yet have the hearts
of the colored people, and convince them that
fox without a tail Is as good as a fox with o
tail. E.
