his unnecessary fliug at secession, and to potest 11 ost earnestly against the use ol tho 'terra "50 called Confederacy" This appellation is true enly in the sense that anrnarae is "so-call'cd,,; but in,that negative pregnant sense which is intended to affirm the non-existence of the matter "so-called," it is absurd. We are posi-' lively shocked that Gov. Peery should have borrowed so obnoxious n phrase. He, himself, was a "so-called Commissioner* of the "so-called Confederate States;" also, r "so-called Judge'1 of the "so-called Courts" of the 'socalled Confederate States," and it would have been much more appropriate to have addrc.-scd his message to tho "so-called" mcnibois of the "so-called" State Convention. There might have been a point in rhat. Eut to look upon that Convention, and see these throe noble generals?Hampton, McGowax and Coxnek, of that "so- called" government, each of whom lias given his Hood to tho government; each of whom has felt crashing through him the shell, the ball or the sword; each of whom I lor lour long years befre the licit and burden of the day, it would bo as reasonable to talk to than of the "so-called" shells, Italia and swords ?"so-called" wounds and sufferings,- and "socalled" patriot-sin and sacrifices. We happen lo know thai th^so ihree noble men are all friends and admirers of Gov. PKimy, but we feel as suro that tliey would cucli ono feel as"we do, that such an expression from the Oouirnor I ol'South Carclina to the Convention, was onrc.

Third?It being impractablc to establish and preserve military posts in sufficiently close proximity to maintain a perfect military police in every portion of the State, the civil magistrates will be allowed to make arrests in all cases of breach of the public peace; but the arrests of freedmcn and other persons of color, when reudercd necessary by t^ic absence ' of the military, will iu all cases be imme- j diately reported; and the custody of the | norson or norsons arrested nvomDtlv trans-!

Let our middle-aged bnd other prudent men at once set the example, by enrolling themselves. Let the gallant youths of the district now step forward nnd devote themselves to building up law and order. Let all portions of the district bo fully represented. Let the captain be selected from thevresidents of Camden, whore the headquarters must be, with a lieutenant from the northern, eastern aud western portions ol the district, respectively. Or if more than a sufficient number are enrolled for one company, they can be divided into companies adapted to geographical convenience.

This gentleman had entered ! the army in 1S13, had passed, of course, through the grades of .assistant surgeon and surgeon in various regiments, and.} had served as such in various quarters of | the globe.

When our Government ceded the Ionian Islands to Grecce.and our troops, of course quitted the territory, Dr. Barry elected to leave the army, and take tip his residence for the rest of his-dnys at Corfu, lie thcrc.died about amontlfago, and up-' on his death was found to be a woman! The motives that qccasioncd and the time when comracDccd this singular deception arc both shrouded in mystery.

We agree with him in this, though we do not approve the introduction of the ternls "reproach" and in effect "nursery of rebellion." lie meets the question of negro suffrage squarely, and proclaims, as are the Northern Democracy now doing, that" this is the white roan's government. Ho recommends the transfer to the people 'of the election of Presidential Electors, Governor, and the enlargement of Executive power, importance, emolument, &c., of the Governor.
