CHARLESTON NEWg.


The Hersld's charleston corresponden
says that very little attention has beel
paid by army officers to the demands Q
Governor Perry's civil sppointees, and tn
Palmetto State remains under militar,
rule. There has been no actual collision
but considerable disagreement and lacl
of cooperation bstween the civil and mil
itary authorities prevail.


WHAT GILMORE sAYa


General Gilmore, who recently returned
to Charleston from his tour in the interior
had conference with Governor Perry
and it is represented that he stated to thsi
gentleman that the military will maintain
the direction of affairs until the State gov
ernment is organized.


CONVENTION.


Convention candidates appear "a. be
brought out slowly. The most of the
leading men nominated on the several
tickets have withdrawn in favor of new
men.


The general disposition of the people is
opposed to any issue being made bat that
of the common welfare.


There is q sincere desire to elect dele
gates who will be respectful to the govern
ment and the Northern people at large,
but withdrawal ofso many of the old cit
izsns leaves it difficult to make up such q
delegation of experienced men as is much
needed to compose a convention at q time
like the present. The mechanics have put
forth ticket, and the candidates, with but
one exception, are men of that particular
class. Another clsss-ticket has also been
put forth, composed principally of natural
lied German and French citizens.


Affairs in the interior are much improv-
ing, better state of feeling being gradu-
ally exhibited by the whites and blacks to-
wards each other.


The Land, Banking and Emigration
Company, for the purpose of inducing en-
igration to this State, has been fully orgsn-
lied and will soon commence operations
The agent Of the company will be located
in this city to receive all who come, pro-
vide for their comfort and make arrange
ments for their transportation to such parts
of the State as they may select for their



GOVERNOR PERRY's PRoCLAMATIo.


Governor Perry's proclamation pleased
the chivslry and many citizens who had
prev iously held aloof and declined to take
the oath, hurried to the nearest Provost
Marshal to deelare their allegiance to the
government, and qualify themselves to
vote. It was in every instance regarded
as sounding the death knell to military
rule and q restoration to power of the
party that took the State out Of the Union.
Since his appointment Governor Perry has
been claimed as one of the sblest men in
the State by the secessionists.


This is 8 fact they were very slow in
discovering, and its discovery is probably
due to its publication simultaneously with
his appointment of his famous Greenville
speech. The government could have made
no better choice among civilians without
going out of the State However strong
Unionist Governor Perry may b
thought in the loyal North, it is an un
doubted fact that he is the stronges
Unionist in the State.


Oaths are required of the citizens with
out scruple, but among themselves CLAIM
that they are compulsory, and consequent
ly not binding. Nearly every one express
es his determination to remain still loys
to his State. If she ever sees ft to 60 on
of the Union again they are determined Il
share her fortune, all oaths Il
the contrary notwithstanding. They
do not in many instances give up the idei
of slavery, and believe emancipation lille
gal, and propose even if forced to Acknowl
edge it when carried by the votes of tn
States as an amendment to the constitu
ton, to get up some kind of an arrange
ment by which they will have slavery il
everything but the name. The Legislator
may for some nominal sum as q renuners
ton for labor, allow the master TO use Wha
coercive means he may think necessary 70
compelling that labor.


The Illicit manufacture Of corn whisk
is INDUCED in TO an alarming extent.


Occasional cases of trouble between IL
planter and his liberated slaves are brougl
before the courts. It is difficult for Il
former to understand that since his labor
has become free be has lost the rights
formerly claimed of coercing him. Man
of the dealers, as long as they ha'
negroes on their plantations, will enfOr
old plantation discipline, and whip the
when they think they deserve it Dec
sionally one of them stabs q negro and
brought before the Provost Court.
