I amTi entirelv satisfied that the whole Act, for tie r-easonus stated, is no longer law in Soth Cat olinat, anid I amt unwilling to raise a qnestion by now repealinag some sections and allow'ing oit-ers to remam1. I object to the second section of the Bill, beeanse it undertakes, amongst other things, to inter:ere a' ith the private rights and busi ness of t he ciien, w' hen the public safety does not regaire such interposition. The citizen, resident or sojourner, who hires ~fiteen or more lihorers, whether white or coloreel, is most competent to determine what supriJon i aborers may require. If his alike admonish us to give him all the cocoml tanis of what he regards so great a boon. Ernr:cipation has changed our relations to him most essentially. So long as he was a slave, though his moral training was not neg lected, it was our policy to prohibit him from learning t6 read and writ'. Now it is our poliey to enlighten and elevate him, for it makes him more trustworth.e, and reduces crime and pauperism in our midst. In every slaveholding country, the owners have endeavored, by stringent legislation and a rigorous police, to guard against the di.gers of revolt and insorrection-insurrect ion to se cure freedom; this was the reason why the legislation in the South required 0 e presence of-a white man on every farm or plantati:n where there were ten or more slaves, that a vigilant watch might be kept over them and their movements. The necessity has ceased, and the law should be ignored. A well digested law, organizing a proper police force to aid the magistracy in suppres ing lawlessness and in enforcing la w and or der in the comnmunity', might prove a srfe guard to societv, but the operations of the Bill under consideration, in my judgment, would be most pernicious. JAMES L. ORR1. - * Touching Letter from the Widow of Stone wall Jackson. A Charleston editor, prompted by a pro found admiration of the transcendent military genius and the exalted moral uorth of the late General Stonewall Jackson, proposed to take un a suhscription in Charleston for the relief of his widow and famiily, whom state men's (apparently authentic) had represen ted to be in very straightened circumstances. Af ter the first anouincement, it occur. ed io hin that he might have been misled, or that, if the facts were as stated, it might he more be coming and respectful to the feelings of ti-at most estimable lady to learn from her wheth er the impressions prevailing as to her circuin stances were %iell founded. To his note, ad dresse. 'o her upon the subject, he received the beautiful response which we publish be low: "COTTAGE HOME, N. C., Jan, 25. "To the Editor of the Ckarleston News: "My DEAR Six: Your letter of the 3d in stant was ftrwarded to me from Lexington, Virginia. f have delayed an answer for a few days, hoping to receive the paper to which vou referred, but it has not yet reached me. and I have not had the pleasure of reading your editorial; butjudging from the remarks in your letter, I suppose it is a similar publi eation to what has recently appeared in many of the newspapers, representing the family of Gen'l. Jackson as suffering for the necessities of life, and appealing to the public for their relief. "It is a source of deep regret and rmor tifl cation to mue, and my family and friends that such a misunderstanding should exist in re gard to my circumstances. It is true that al most the whole of my little fortune has been swept away. My nohle husband, actuated by patriotism, invested in Confederate bonds to assist the Government, and I followed his ex ample, the consequence was the loss of neaiiy theiwhole of his estate ;- but God has still left to me one of the kindest fathers, who has the means of' providing all the comforts of life for me and my orphan child The pecuniary suf ferinmgs of others in oiur afflicted lands havej been so niuchgFeat er taan my own, that, in this respect, I have only need ofa more thank ful heart. And I,.ofallothers, should have no ears for the future, for the covenant-keeping God of my husband has watched over us here tofore, and the love of' this great pcople to me rnd my little child, on his account, fills my deart with grateful joy. "While it is one of the greatest comforts of miy desolate life to see the mnayi beautiful andi eloquent tributes to the memory of my be oved husband, and I would gratefully accept any offerings that are voluntarily giren as e ~imonials of lore and gratitu.de to him, yet the - :ontributions that are now called for are giv en under afalse impression, at d it is incon sistent with my ideas of honor and rectitude to receive them. I would therefore, heg that tll effiorts that are made to raise a fund for ny ' relief,' -both in Charleston and elsewhere, >e immediately stopped.

His-wife waited a little, and :hen wrote, declaring that, unless he returned ya stated:time, 5he should sue for a drre Rhe Senator made no reply, but gave a glowj ng account of the patriotic movement in ah'ch he lbore an important part. "The.next letter he r eceived was. from the :lerk of acouirt. in Indiana, informing him :hat his- wifet had filed a hill, with another from tlawyier offering to defend him. The Ser ator rrote back to the lawyer as follows: 'Dear ir: Yourrs to hand. My wife says she will aot stand myw long absence. If I were-sh'e, I ould not stand it either.

A KNoCK-DowN ARGUMENT.-A tomperancei let,rer, descanting on the essential and puri fying eflects of cold water, remarked, as a knock-down argtument : "When the world had become so corrnpt that the Lord could do nothing with it, Hie was obliged to give it,a thorough sousing -n cold wat er."

The undersigned, Wholesale Dealers, advise you of the falct that Charleston is again a market for the purchase of goods, and in view of the eiarly opening of the -priig trade, we beg to so licit the resumption of the patronage so liberally extended to this market in the past. We are aware that many old and respected firms will be missed from our number, hut many Familiar names will be found in new associations, ready to supply the wants of the Trade, as of Ivore, and other old and new firms will be added i our number at an early day. The cash and Ishort credit system having been universally ad pt ed in all the Northern markets, we are necessar IY compelled to adopt a like qsytm as the only safe on on which to conduct business, and the heavy p-rcentage once necessary to cover bad debts will now be a%oided. Small profits and quick returns will be the rule, and under this working we hope not only to restore to our an. cient city its former prosperity, but to extend her trade to the full extent of the capabilities her ex cellent geopr:ihical position anal natural advan tages afrord. Our interest and ambition combine to siimii,late us in attaining this result. The South Carolina Railroad is now open to Colnbia, and its President has officially in formed us that the Augusta l'ne will be comple ted to Blackvillp this month, and that on the first ol Febituary he will receive through fieight to Augusta. A line of steatuers to Savannah will afford facilities for shipping in that direction. It is our purpose to have in store by the ast of February a complete and varied ass-ortment of goods in our respective lines adopted to th spring trade, and every exertion shall be made to promote your interests. We extiend to you the hand of commercial fel lowship, and solicit your co-operation and patron age in o.,r efforts to make Charleston the centre of Southers trude. Give us the encourageruent I e ask, and you %ill enjoy all the advantages of t. cheap home market. Dry Goods. W. T. Burge and Co. Edwin Bates and Co. J. R. R. ad and Co. Strauss, Vance and Co.
