110.-a protest from South Carolina.
A letter from L. W. Spratt.
Hon. John Perkins, Delegate from Louisiana:
From the abstract of the Constitution for the Provisional Government, published in the papers of this morning, it appears that the slave trade, except with the Slave States of North America, shall be prohibited.
The Congress, therefore, not content with the laws of the late United States against it, which, it is to be presumed, were re-adopted, have unalterably fixed the subject by a provision of the Constitution.
That provision, for reasons equally conclusive, will doubtless pass into the Constitution of the Permanent Government.

When you were.
in church, we were in the bloodiest fight recorded that has ever transpired in North America. The day was lost when our two regiments came up. Our troops were falling back, and had retired some distance.
Col. Kershaw gave the command Forward!
and after some ten or twelve rounds, away went the Yankees.
I understand Beauregard said our regiments saved the day --a second battle of Waterloo.

But we went forward, and the day was wo

young men's Christian Association Rooms, Richmond, Va., May 6, 1861.
To the Young Men's Christian Associations of North America:
brethren: We have determined by the help of God to address you in the character of peace-makers.
In connection with the Confederacy of Christian Associations, we trust, that we have secured the confidence and love of many of your members, and we are conscious that we sincerely reciprocate their sentiments.
You will then regard with some respect the statements we may make in reference to the present condition of our country.
Many of those who participated with us in the Christian fellowship which was exhibited by the delegates from the various portions of our beloved country, at the annual conventions held in Troy, Charleston, Richmond, Cincinnati, and New Orleans, will doubtless be willing to unite with us in an earnest effort for the restoration of peace and good — will between the contending part
