The Sltuatl0n.

We are permitted to copy the following
extract from private letter written by one
of the foremost generals of the late war,
from the retiracy of his Northern home:
do not read the papers much, but l
have observed that the lugubrious fire
lighted by the rebellion and which fared
so luridly with your New Orleans not long
ago, has now taken among the stubble and
dead prairie grass of Mississippi. A few
negroes slain, some forty or so, was the last
item of intelligence from there, / believe,
and of course the army must be turned out,
and the constitution amended to meet the
case! 1t is an awful waste of human blood,
this murder of negroes and Indians; it has
no more moral to it than the spilling of his
liquor by a spewin0 drunkaru. Free gov
ernment, as administered in the United
States, is very costly, it blood is of any
value. The negroes, since they insist on
staving here, must meet the consequences,
anu SO must we; their own selfdefense will
teach them to insist upon thorough militia
establishment in the State, of which they
are to form part.
The State should furnish arms and equip
ments. but they should drill without pay.
Mr.. Linc0ln's administration but tossed a
lamb to the tiger, and that is called free
selt-government.

Election Excitement in Charleston.
CHARLEsT IN, S. c., October 5.-Consid.
cradle excitement exists in this city grow
ing out of the election for mayor and alder
men, which takes place tomorrow. Mayor
Cunningham is supported for reelection by
a coalition of cOlored Republicans and a
large majority of Conservatives, while
man citizens, aided by the partisans of
Sheriff Bowen and the custonhouse in
huence, support ex-Mayor Wagener.
The law makes the commissioners of cleo
tion the sole oustodians of the peace of the
city on election day. Sheriff Bowen, in de-
fiance of the instructions of the commits
sioners, announces his intention to appoint
1000 deputies to attend the pools, and many
fear conflict, as the commissioners have
notified Bowen that they will arrest as dis
tnrbers of the public peace any depu-
ties who may attempt any interference
with the election. They have ordered
three white and three colored military com
panIes to hold themselves in readiness TO
enforce their authority. The coalition or
Cunningham party is substantially com
posed of the sabIe elements which carried
Charleston in the Stats election last year,
gaining for the taxpayers of the city the
first representation they have had in the
Legislature since reconstruction.
