Then as tho ovening steals apace, And moonlight adds a fairer grace,. ?To night's sweet witchery, My soul is rapt as with a spell, And while fond thorghts my bosom swell, ' Sweet arc my dreams of theo. When hushed in soothing balmy sleep My sonsos lie in slumbers deep, Thine image comes to mo, And while with joy I fondly trace, The.lineamcntf of thy dcar face, Sweet aro my dreams o? theo. When first the riisty morning wakes When first the golden sunlight breaks, Whorcver I may be, At home, or on i distant strand, Wandering o'er ocean, or on land, . . Sweet aro my dreams of thee. From tho New York Times. T.'?c Education of the Negroes in South Carolina It is stated in a circular issued with the sanction of the New York American Mission ary Association, that there are-no less than 20.000 negroes in Charleston to-day, 4,000 of whom arc- of school nge. To provide for the training of these and large numbers of the same class throughout the State of South Carolina, colored teachers are needed. With this view a scheme is set on foot io estabiish what we take to be a sort of G t ata mar School or Normal Inst?late for those freedmen who may be anxious to become teachers. We donut know enough ol* the particular plan proposed to give it a specific "endorse ment, or tn recommend others lo do sb. But it is significant that thc proposal has thc hearty approval of Governor Orr, of the Ex Secretary of the late Confederate Treasury, G. A. Trunbolrh, of Ber. Mr. Piuckney, Rec tor of Gra^e Church, Charleston, and of oth er men of almost equn! standing. Governor Orr says he heartily approves of " thc scheme to educate thoroughly tbe colored children of Charleston." Mr. Trcnholm says he has no hesitation in expressing his ''cordial approval af the enterprise." Judge George S. Bryan says he has been "a gratified witness" of the zealous efforts made to educate the poor col ored people of Charleston. This testimony -apart from the merits of. the special insti tute io which it refers, and of which we per sonally know nothing-ought to have some LV?igU, as showing that tho representative tvliitCnjen of thc South are desirous of see ing t'ne emancipated blacks elevated above :ho conditio;: iu which slavery left them; and that they have at heart the "advancement of clic-frcctl^.to w*buse OraiiCUCft ur.KCUWJcdgxr tvhich will tend to thc improvement of their locial position and fit th tm for political en franchisement. In view of the experiments which aro like ly yet to he. tried before thc great task ol Na tional Restoration is completed, the educated people ol' the South-those especially who have still a material stako in the country nando nothing more politic and.wise for t hemselves than encourage education among tho negro race by every means in their pow IT. It does not yet appear what limit may be set to thc conditions on which the re-ad mission of the unrepresented States is to han. ; bul, in any event, it is wisdom, aud wisdom ot the highest kind, for the dominant race at the South lo make fast friends of their poor dependents-for dependents they will con tiuuc to be. It would be an evil day for the' whole country that should sec a political par ty at the North sustaining itself by a negro Southern volo, aa tho old Secessiou leaders wm? so Io:'g sustained by a sectional vote here. Tho industrial interests of thc two races at the Soutli aro identical. The ono' cannot suffer without the other suffering also. They know each ether thoroughly from long and close association. There is no natural anta gonism between them. What is wauied in th.-ir new relaiionship is that it should be come a3 soon as possible liko tho relation of muster and servant in other parts of the c uulry ; the totter having, by means of edu cation and the enjoymeutof equal civil rights, something like thc same chance as the for mer in thu race of life. No better solution, than this of putting education, within the reach of the freedmen, car. be found for the serious problem of reorganizing society at the South in conformity.with the new order of things, and of restoring something like real harmony of. let ling and sympathy between North and Scuth. THE-LAST REBEL AT DAVID'S ISLAND. The Church Journal alludes as follows tc a Confederate prisoner now bilgering at David's Island, who if weare not mistaken, went from ncarAugu8ta: Messrs Editors : There is now at the hos pital at this place, a poor lad, named Isaac Boatrighf, a South Carolinian, for whom med ical skill can effect no improvement,-as ho is sick of an incurable disease. All of his as sociates have long since been either-discharg ed hy the Government, or removed by death, while poor Boatwright ha3 lingered on, suffer ing as much from want of companionship as from his disease. Some kind friends have proposed his removal to that Christain chari ty, the Home for Incurables, and now wo ask tho few dollars that are needed to carry out this design, lie himself is anxiously desir ous of spending his last dava in this retreat. Contributions for the comfort of this {l last of thc rebels,1' may be sent to P. F. Randolph, Treasurer of Home fer Incurables, No. 14 Wall street, New York. Thc London Times tells tho following nhout a fluid taken from some Fcuinn depot or store : A portion of tho Huid waa poured on a quantity of loose cotton and sticks, and in about four minutes it spontaneously ignit ed. A bottle contruning tho fluid was then dashed against a wall, which immediately be came a massof Hame. A short time ago, Mr. Superintendent Hewitt poured some of it on cotton, Wood and wood chips, and then placed thc whole under water, where it remained for a week. It was then taken out and placed on the floor, and in five minutes had burst into flames. GIVING NEGROES PUBLIC OFFICES.-The election of.two colored men, on Tuesday, to c.alS in the Legislature of Massachusetts, ia certainly a novelty ia American politics. Thc event, however, is one that will undoubtedly soon be followed by others of like character in other States, and there will be a logical advance from the struggle as to giving negroes votes to a contest a? to giving them public offices. Thc question is a simple enongh one in thc New Er gland States, bnt when the principle comes to bc applied to the South ern States, in some of which the negroes must possess a controlling political powor,and be ablo to elect a majority of blacks lo the Leg islature, it will be quito another matter. Now York Times. From Wathington. [Correspondence of the 'Charleston Courier.} "WASHINGTON, November 17. Thc Cabinet deliberations appear to Lave taken a wide scope! Last night the President and Cabinet, and the Chief Justice and Gen eral Grant were in council till a- late hour. It if well understood that tho subject related to a proclamation for a general amnesty, and that its effect npon the status of Mr. Jefferson Davis was to be -considered. The opiniousxof Chief J ustice C'aase and General Grant were, therefore, desired, If any tech nical objections were to be raade,-so far as Mr. Davis iicoucernedj it was expedient to know what they were. The Attorney-General was not 'present* He was temporarily called away from "the city." But it was known that he ?ad advocated a general amnesty. Another thing is known, to wit, that Chief Justice Chase is ia' favor of general amnesty and equalr ffrage. There is. reason to be lieve that he will trike the lead in the party, now formed or forming for reconstruction upon this basis. The Northwestern Demo cracy will probably cut loose from the John eon party and embrace thia, if if promises to prevail. The Democrats who contended without allies for .the Johnson restoration plan, arc defeated and discoursed. They will, not figKon that line any longer. By striking for impartial suffrage, they will take the wind ont of the Radical sails. This harmony will be powerful when it shall unite upon the doc trine of free tn .de, lew taxes, governmental econo.uy and {Le inevitable negro suffrage. iIowev.--r this may come out, it is very cer tain, as 1. understood yesterday, that the President is pressed to declare himself in favor of equa' suffrage and general amnesty, the latter to bi* dependent on tiro former. It is advised that Congress will bo ready to give any encourageuent or support to the scheme. If the Southern States accept impartial suf frage as proposed, then restoration, as well as amnesty, arr; to follow. What the President will do no one can yet say. He U certainljifionsidexing and consult ing about some important political movement, which may precede the meeting of Congress. Hie opiukn gains ground here that he will tike some'now ground as to restoration in lis message, or by some proclamation. LEO. -? 4 ?* What Shall we do for Servants? In answer to this question, the New Or- ' enns Times noakes some judicious remarks. ?Ve quote a few of them : The Southern households, where the fe j nales of a family have taken entirely upon , hemselvcs the burden of domestic duty are ? narked by a degree of neatness and order , ltterly impossible under tho careless super vision and labor of negro servants. Every me knows of their surprising dus*-holes for ? itoring away filth of ever}' description, and < heir maxim that "dirtnover kids," which 1 bey carry religiously into practice. Tue nore superintendence of their careless labors . vas a greater drudgery than to do it oneself. ' Where there is health, a moderate degree >f energy and good* will, and several in a iiniily, the work is no heavy burden upou 1 .ny one cf them. It is only surprising,'in a 1 hort time, what can bo done and done well, J r me lannr which r?c or seven servants, in < iternal bustle and contusion, were striving to ' .ccomplish in the twelve hours. In these > lays of. labor-saving inventions work has < ?eco reduced as light work well can be. 1 good kitchen and cc oking stove will hardly ' njure the han-"., or complexion of the fairest ?pile, nboiiti heaviest task work?iad hitherto } teen to master the difficulties of an opera of . Icycrbeer, or to paint a landscape from Pons in. The new washing machine leaves little : o be de3ired in the way of lightening that , teaviest of all dom?stic drudgery ; a division if labor thert converts a toil, if not into a ! jleasure, at least iuto a very bearable neccs ity and an ultimate bencfiu Wc believe that in a year the amount bf noney saved, and of comfort gained, if every vornan in a Southern household should reso utely set her face toward the discharge of luties which .-'ill be ultimately forced upon 1er, would promote tile happiness, energy, md usefulness of the whole land. A spirit of t ndependence would take the place of that in- ! ittnCSS which lias hitherto paralyzed all our : tffbrts, and we would become a stronger and ] )eU*r people. .

THE GREAT STATE PRISOXER.-The. For" reas Monroe correspondent of the New York Icrald writes on-the 14tb instant : The very One room6, four in number, be ?ides a kitchen, fitted up in Carroll Hail for 1 k-tlerson Davis and family, havo at length re lived the finishing toucucs of earpenter,"ma ion, glazier and painter. Vacating his oki . martere, which were limited to two c?se- \ nates, he has moved into his new and more jommodious apartments; so that now, bar ing his deprivation of thc freedom of the rater world, he is as snugly.and comfortably situated, has rooms as airy, as. liberal supplies , 3? fuel, as numerous attendance of servants, , ind as complete.and elaboratecuisint auxilia ies as any officer iu tho fc-\t. There is no abjection iu ail this. A liberal and discreet humanity is shown in it.

Southern people, and convert to loyalism ? Lhooc whom no'iking eiso would influence, but imgendergreater and universal respect abroad.

In this light, and in the light of what he has Buffered in this past impriiior.ment with out trial, the present comforts allowed him, late as they come, aro vasMy brtter late,than never. Mr. Davis foejs grateful for tho clem ency shown him, and is frank aud outspoken in acknowledgement of it. Moreover, his health has recently improved most material ly. Ile can walk unsupported, his spirits oro more elastic, his conversation is in much lighter and gayer tone, and the world gener ally has for him less austerity and repulsive ness. Ile repines less, at the past, is moro patient of the present and more hopeful for the future. He now enjoys facilities not on ly for making himself and family comforta ble, but to extend becoming hospitality to his numerous callers and friends. In his own mind aud that of most of his friends,.tho con eviction is now very firmly settled that he will remain here a prisoner all winter. - ..
