T WEEKLY H RALD. INEWBERRY, S. C. WEDNESDAY NORNING, AUGUST 9, 1865. We would once more most respectfully call attc:tion-to the fact, that all work .doi at this offiee fnust be paid for on delivery, and al1 tansient-advertisenents paid for before inser lion.. Regul ir4own idvertiser: can settle for each advertisement as it appears, or by the month, at their option. Communications of- personal character, or pr,.u otiveof individual or private itterest, as well as.all obituaries and mar-iage notices, wilT be redeived as advertisements, and most be a. companied by the mroney to insure at tention. Be so good, dear reader, you who come under the category, to bear in mind the promises made us~a little while back to Tay up early ; we have done our part, ndw do yours. Money- was scarce then,'while provisions were low ; then ma-4 ny promised to pay in provisions ; now pro'isions are so high as scarce to be reached with a ten foot pole, and currency a trifle down, you pro pose to pay with a little greenback figure 1. Stack to the rack gentleman, f6daer or no fod-. . der, and pay accotding to the then value. A Word in Seasor. We have been often tempted to say a word or two against the.toorcommon, and sififul habit of Sunday visiting. Of all days in the week this! should be the last, for. cotymon and indiscrimi nate visiting. A volun might be spoken or written on the subject. It should be a day of rest, rest from th' busy cares of the week, free from all- thought of worldly ma,tters, for retirement _rand meditation. To the christian man how re freshing the thought, that in the midst of his family he can enjoy the calm delighrt of the Sabbath, and remember the day- to keep it holy.' But coming froi the place of worship he finds. a few particula# friends, who having nothing else to doi'havc stopped in to while away~ their idle ness. Of course they are invited to stay, to take dinner or supper, and a little extra preparation or cooking has to be done, servants having-per F haps finished what ias to be done, are called up and made-to 'fly around,' and the whole, Sundiy arrangement thrown into -derangement. Think of the topics too which are iitroduced and dis cussed, how often unimproving, unsatisfying and altogether unsuitable to the day. Sweet is the - day of rest. Let not the priri!ege be abused, - fritter not the day away in idjeness, fri-volity and! sin. Think of it, Sunday visitors, make home hbappy1 y-staying.at h9ine an.d doing 'your -duty * -there,. and your neighbor-the better for this act of consideration, will thik-the more of yog that -he i& able to sit down free from Sunday visitors. * . -A little wholesome advice'from the p ilpit, would greatly help to convinei this class of the wrong thdy Mnfict on the right.'thinking portion of al - community, by such an -idle ansi pernicious . practice. * . North Carolina, it is said, is making ac * ~ tive exertions t6 secure emigration to her terri * - tory. -Offices are being opened in the North to furnish information and encourage emigration. And-that the people of North Carolina are anx ious to have the State filled with- Northern set * lters, an.d desire to -have their resources fully de * veloped. The feeling is very strong in -favor of the.new systeni of labor, and .a large majority * . :xpress gladness at the abolitioh of slavery. They offer'for sale or lease large quantities of' land, gold, iron and lead mines, and water-pow er, and offer -liberal induceenig to. en.Igration. * This is 'the first step of the kind taken by any. -State. . * g~ The NorthertiPress, commenting on the * -speech of Gov.' Perry at-Greenville, admires his frankness, but when he eulogizes General Lee as next to Washington ; declares the abolition of slavery a curse to the negro, and speaks of his * - repugnance to going back into the U7nion, his re marks excite the utmost indignation of tbe ra.di * cal Republicans. The T 'a'ne thinks the speech * is a fair.iudication that South Carolina is not yet - ripe for reconstriJetion. President Johnson, however, is said to be flim in the resolve that the State shall have the same clh :xee as her Son T - hr sisters. " Various reports are in circulation in re gard to the health of Mr. Jefferso:u Davis. The * . Charleston Courier's comrespondent says his con dition is extremely bad, that he cannot surviuve * , . long, and takes no exercise whatever, anid that lie is denied the -pri ilege of all books except the bible.. His sight is~ said to be failing. A For-j * ~ tress Monroe correspondent sayys that he is in *good health, that his eyesight is not impaired, and his appetite remarkably good. No one is * ~ allowed to see him except Surgeon Craven and the guard. To Taivztzas -C. Y. Pool's hack line con ne.cts with the carsat Hope Station, inmrnadiately upon the-arrivat of the down train, and will con vey passengers safely and securely to Columnbig; ; it will also'carry passengers from Coiumbia--o Hope Station, in time to take the train the same day for Greenville. Q" The Postmvsfer General has arranged the rompensation an'd other preliminaries for t-esu. ming the transportation of the Sourherni mails at the earliest pi-acticable pert'od, and is - gradually restoring the service In those States. Q"Over two hundred applications for par. don.s were filed in thE ofice Of the Attorney-Gen - eral, on the 21st ult., and pardons~ wrene granted Tho =as Meeting of Saturday. Agreeable to the spggestions of sundry citi" zens, and in accordance with the -views- of Gen. Van Wyck, a mass. meeting of Freedmen, to which planters were invited, was held on Satur day, at Academy Grov . The' purpose was to give a good, plain, sensible talk, 'to correct erro neous ideas and fat'e notions, growing out of the new relation of affairs, and if -possible, by this'bi tafk, this general cxplanatiog, to obviate the necessity of the thousand daily and hourly little explanations and settlements, arising from the false notions which have crept into the heads of the negro, .and the misconception in a" few canes by the planter, as to his,present relation. We are pleased to say- that the General's- talk was all, and pechaps more than was expected. He is a good speaker, clear, foreible, and is perfectly a home on the stump. Althougha difficult mat ter to bing himself down to, and touch the dull understandings of the mass around him, yet he happily succeeded in-doing so, and in fixing their attention, while in the plainest manner, yet posi tive and emphatic, all was explained . and dwelt upon until the dullest mind must have been im pressed. The speaker grew eloquent in expatia ting upon the great boon -which had been con (erred upon them, who. without effort of their own, in a moment as it were, stood -in the broad. sunlight of freedom, but he warned them not to abuse it, and to be worthy of the boon, for other wise better had it not come. Each of the com mon abuses and errors were 'touched upon and explained', and- the proper course pointed out. Idling, vagrancy, going off from the plantation without permission, laying .down the hoe, refu sals to spin by the women, and, to drive the car riageby the. men, impudent language or jaw, neglect in showing proper and customary respect - to former masters, in fact to all persons, thieving, Lying,drinking, and many other offences, were shown to.be.wrong, and all of which must be corrected. Mary, he said, had the false idea that land and stock were to be divided among them, but they must get that of their heads at- once ;1 that.by labor, industry and economy alone, can they ever hope to become possessors of proper ty; they.must work,' economise, save, and buy these things as the .poor white man does. By working faithfully now, by QUedience, kind and respectful.deportment, they would have the love and confidence of former masters, and be able to get rork when their contracts were out, and those too must be sacredly observed. They are ignorant, but have minds andl hearts capable of cultivation, and must study, a.d learn, not only the whole alphabet of freedom, but the A. B. C. of every thing else. Those who- ,wei-e dissatis fed with their present homes and employers;' must~ be patient and en'during, and wait till Jan uary, and if then they could *better themselves, to do so, but now to remnain close Zat home and work;. freedom did 'not 'mn idleness.. Their old masters still loved them, and' jwoulf keep. them emiploved_if faithfut otherwise there-ould. be -nothing to prevent their being turnent homeless wandeTers. The planter was shown a fe.w errors, likely to. be committed, and which lhe rusted time and' good sense would soften down, hat in the end good. feeling and kindliness would be the sentiments of' both classes. It is imr'os sble to go over the-whole ground coiered by the eneral's able talk, suffice it it was good, to the point, and we hope happy in its results. Other sections, as designated- in published or er, will be#isite d by the General, and the same eplanations made. .The Fenlan Brotherhood. While Americans are calling.for a republic in exico, the Irish are organizing~ for the liber-ty of Irelarid. The Fenian Brothei-hood, which has for its avoved object the overthrow of British power inf the direen Isle,- number-hundreds of. thousands of me-mbers in this couintry, Canada nd Ireland. Here-they are being regularly riled and'prepared for war... The meetings which are held weekly, are enthusiastic and rowded to overflowing. t can best gire you an dea -of the'sentimients of the Fenians by quoting fom the recent speech fMr- Morrisson, a dis nguished.-orator; at an Irish meeting in. St. Luis. -Th eloctilpapers say : "Mr.~ Morrisson spoke at great length, and at tmes with an eloquence and earnestuess that ired the hearts of his hearers. and aaee shouts and .cheers that were beard half a.mile :istant. He portrayed the happy condition of reland in past times, before the .treacherous Saxozi lad trampled her under his feet ;- dwelt wit) touching pathos' upon the -desolat'.on that ow spread a gloom over the Green Isle, and pietu' ed the coming struggle, which he said-was ear a~t hand, when the.' green flag shall be un furled 'on the Irish hills, and the crash of Irish musketry shall be heard on .The shores, of Eng and. Hie said there 'were about four millions of rishmen in America, and nearly nine millions of rish dEs. ent. -In Ireland there are at leastone undred and twenty .thousand men who had worn to exterminate their~ Saxon foes. There was a natural hatredi between the Celt and the Saxon, and the two r-aces could not live in peace ogeth-er. - The present Lord-Lieutenant of. Ire and is the last who can reign there. .There houd be no mire emigration from Ireland; very Irishman sh'ould remain'at homne and fig'ht for his native land, an'd every exile should hold imelf in readiness to rush to' her aid whem -the igul is given and the fight begup." - - .Thercoloi-ed people of Vicksburg. protest ginst the proclamation of the President ap ointing Judge Sharkey Goyernor of Missis ippi, and non-extension of the. elective fran hise. They say they have been made free, herefore want all righits. -The Hudson River Railroad is complimented! for cleverness in recently killing a whole fami-. y-father, mother and child--all at once, so hat .there was nobody loft to bring-an action for damages. - Military orders have been-issued at Peters urg Va.,sto prevent the abuse of-negroes by oldiers, and requiring negroes to be respect LOCAL ITEMS. FscAPED.--Mr. Rennolda, under military du rance for shooting, made his escape from j:il on Friday night last, and has not been heard of since. Thanks are due the' following gentlemen for late-papers, viz: Orderly John Mead, of the 56th, Messrs. Carrington, J. S. Ring, and Capt. Wm.. Kinard. The kiudress and attention of these gentlemen are fully appreciated. SALE Dxr.-.The interesting occasion failed to bring out many, consequently the streets were only moderutely lively. Too busy at "fodder pulling" will account for the .absence of some, wagoning cotton to Augusta and other points for that of others. A few small sales of furniture came off. THE PHcTx.-We are requested by the enter prising publisher of thi paper to state, that Mr. Thos. Purse will visit Nuwberry this week, for the purpose -of receiving subscriptions to the same, for which he is authorized to receipt. The Phcenix we are pleased to see bas been enlarged, and in a new and improved dress,'presents a very .-neat and attractive appearance. We commend it to the public. Our old friend, Dr. McKellar, we are-glid to see, again at his old professton. His long expe rience, we are 'confident,_will enable him to give entire satisfaction. Voters of Nekwberry District will -notice the omination, in 'gnother column, of-candidates for the Convention, and act accordingly. See advertisement. of Quartermaster Clements, will prove intesgting to all concerned. The attentien of Cotton and Produce dealers is invited to caid of Adams, Frost & Co., Do's-T LIKE nT.-Or, as our friend who 'brings you m.usic' used to say when there was nothing to 'wet his ahistle' with, or i4 other words noth ing to drink, we 'no like dese tings.' And who would, pray ? Would you reader? If a man, a little man,-no larger than yourself promised you a fine, large melon, and failed to come to time, would you be pleased? Would you not irather want to poke him under the fifth rib, as we in tend doing, and put the lark-in such a fix as will stop him doing so in future. APPRECTATIvE.- As an,.evidence of how well appreciated our paper is, we state that in one week, the last, our circulktion as increased some two hundred copies, .and the demand too was all in.the .town. This sp aks'well for the community as-a.reading~one, and one i.hich is not afraid to patronise ~eir town paper.- Gentleme6, we are proud.'~ You do us he'nor. -Long may ire have strength and ability to work for and accomrmodate you. We had almost forgotten to mention, that two Thirds of th~e two hundred took it becaiuse -eahe-ovror's gr'ociamation, and there being nothing else.n the paper they cared to see, dij not thiok it worth paying for. Some few having rio change promised to comnb back, on that -fcw we base strong hopes. This week we intend is suing a large extra n~umber, to meet the increas ed patronrage. ON THE RoAD-SIDE.-Comidng from the groire; after -Gcn. Van Wyck's talk on Saturday, we were surprised 40'hear the remarks2 of sonme.of the'darkies who stood within-sound of his voice. "Book larning" can't convince them. Oneasaid, "well he was*glad de ginral said dey would hab de land and horses and mules, he thought so all de tihne." Another, "bfess de giural, for ho*says we can marry any body, now.'' Strange, too, that so-soon after speaking of steailing, e soldier should have caught no less than fifteen Qf thcm on a cer'tain pilantation can-ying oti a wholesale depredation. For staine,! colored ~pulation! what do you mnean ? We understand that the Gen. beirig informed of this,'lamented and n'ouirned considerably at these instancos of igntorance and delusion, and promised to talk more convincingly in future. - coxMM N rIED, Glimpses of the dawn of returning civilization appear in the proclamat ion of our Provisional Go* ernor, informing us that an election will be'had to elect members to aStite Convention; the pur pose of which is plainly indicated. L ow that we have for sometifne suffered many of .the horrors peculiar to anarchy, it becomes us especially to embrace with joy and thankfulness, the present golden opportunity of rebigiding the strong bul wark of civil law, and that we may build adyan~ tageously let us be careful - in* the seleotion-of members. Let us elect mren of sound- practicat minds,- capablo .of divesting themselves of 61 preudces. Men that -cai-tuirn even a defeat-to advantags, men that are., willng-to accept~ the issue as~it is forced upon us, and to work for the good of the country, of our -whole country. Prosperity and happiness at home, as- well as respetability abr,oad, are still within -our reach~ *It is not to be expected that affiliation between the N*rth. and South (although inevitable)-ean be brought about suddenly, but certairly plicv wisdom, humanity and Christiariity demand that2 we sheuld approxlimate i lat condition as closely as human prejudices will permit. Nearly the whole State has now subsoribed to the oath of allegiance, if so, we will ge -very npar guilty of perjury to cuitivate a low spirit of revenge, or to hed ourselves adverse totho true interest of the Union. Tis true the war- bas not ended as we wished, far from-it, - But ifi whave by reason of overhelming numbers, failed-in we' -et ns'show that in peace. we can triumph at least, over the uprisings of' low revenge that characterize th'd savage. fet us not despair, for we apay yet-be abont to assumne to the Federal _( ment One thing is-certain, that we can be neither great nor happy, if -left to ogrselvas .opposed to the Union. And happily for u.a,-wehave for.our aid the eiperience.and wisdom of-au able Provision al -Governor, who-is "the vight -manin the-gt plaice." Let us not elect to the ietntion-pa litical aspirants, for of that kind of meacame. all the- evils we now enduire; Let -us .ele t men of clear heads; of pure- hearts, with the good of the whole country for their aim,. and men that have discretionu enongh to quit. and come.hom,e when. the assigned work is done.
