Advices from various points in the line of battle assure us that it can be done, but to secure so desirable an end the people must work; put their shoul ders to the wheel, and their hands into I their pockets. A Great Ally. Napoleon has the sympathy of the Rothschild's. This is worth an army with banners and needle guns. The wealth of gold possessed by these bank ers is almost beyond computation. Nearly all the Monarchs of Europe have borrowed scores and hundreds of mil lions of dollars from these Jewish money princes, to prop up their empires. T he Reducad Eates At wi ich we offer the Herald is for the purpose of advancing the cause of Reform. Every man ought to subscribe now and get full accounts of club meet ings and doing, not only of Newberry but of the whole State. The offer is open for one month, after which it will be closed. Show this to your next door neighbor, reader. Dcn't be Tardy. The good work goes on. Newberry town has formed its Reform Glub, and chosen oflicers who will do their duty. Let the whole district du likewise. We want a club at every precinct, and easy and quick lines of communication estab lished between the whole, and each in connection with the town club. In union there is poz-ea. Let the connection be made promptl. Report proceedings as soon as clubs are formed, either to the President of the town club, or to this paper, and we shall be glad to publish1 the samte. Refern Club Meeting.. Agreeably to notic a meeting of the citizens of Newberry was held in this town on Saturday last, Col. R. Moor man called to the chair, and Mr. 0. Schumpert appointed Secretary. After the transaction of the necessary prelimi nary business, the meeting adjourned to meet on Monday afterr.oon following, at which time having again assembled, a constitution w a s adopted, Newberry township divided into four divisions, and a permanent president and four vice presidents, two secretaries and one treas urer eleted. The o@fcers chosen are as follows: Mr. Thos. Moorman, President, Mr. W. T. Tarrant, vice president of first division, Dr. S. F. Fant, for second dlivi sion, Dr. McIntosh, fo'r third, and Mr. W. J. Lake, for fourth ; Mr. A. J. Mc Caughrin and Mr. 0. Schumpert,Secreta rics and Mr. John IHair, Treasurer. The se lection of thiese omcers we think a most adm;irable one. The Lieutenants, or we should h:ave said vice presidents, have the authority to appoint three subordi-1 nates each, to act with them in carrying out the articles of the constitution. On next Saturday the club will meet again, at wehich ti-ne it is expected thatII every citizen identiled with the good cause of R~eform will be present. The formation of this club, its prompt and decisive action, its selection of ne-w men, free from the objection of formert political cins, shows now that we aret moving ir. the right direction, and if the whole district will act in accord, which no one can doubt will be the case, victo ry will and nist perch on our banners. A full account of the proceedings with r iho Constitution, an.d the lines of divi- r C sion, not y-et furnished us by the Secret tary, w~ill be published next week. h Camp Meeting at Bethel The meeting at Bethel Camp Ground, on the Tumbling Shoals Circuit, Lau- a rens district, embra.cing Presiding Elder r W. H. Fleming's district, whieh comn- a anced on Wednesday, the 10th inst., W3. rmninated on Monday miorning sixa hi'lcy public prayer. It was a h higlyinesting meeting and largelyP attended, bY'he'people of Laurens, as well as by man; from Anderson, Abbe- c Til,Spartanburg...d Newberry. On Sun day it is estimated tkt there were about two thousand pe'rsons 1-esent, and deep. B Bi ly impiressive and eloquen sernaan were preiacbed respectively by th, Rev's. A. ol J. stsTrd, at 8 o'clock, 0. A.' by at 10, Joel Cnrlisie. at 8, and Panl ;istler, j at night These sermons were ot the 1 finest order, (as were ali that were deh~ cred during the meeting, of which mien tion will be made next week,) and most appropriate to the solemn occasion, and the immnense throng which gathered un-2 der and around the lrge stand, and the wedges which were entered during the c< day's services were fo: ced home by the o powerful sermon of the night, and pro-b duOed an effect which we have not wit nessedl in many year-. We judge thamt not less than2: one hundred penitenIts were i:mploing for m~erey at one" timne. lBut as we have just rturned, and as thea pper is nearlyv ready for prss we can n:ot say whal:t we woid now. In the nr ,etiuewe' ho;.e to "lre a mo:re pr We Must Succeed ! At the last general election in this State the radicals carried it by about 14,000 mnj'irity. This vote was com posed alnost entirely of the colored peo ple of the State, which excess has been naterially reduced by the following causes-the deaths and departures have been large'y in excess of the colored people over the whites-variously esti mated in diflcrent parts of the State, but averaging about thtse to one. Frun all accounts the increase )f the whites is al lowed to be in excess of the blacks. No person who is acquainted with the his tory of the political contest of '68, will doubt for one moment that a large num ber of the whites failed to feel any in terest in the issue, and consequently neglected to vote. Again, large numbers of those who were then disfranchized have since, by the several acts of Congress, been rein stated in their political rights. From all these causes, we think it fair to presume the majority above stated has been re duced at least one half. This leaves us a majority of, say, 7,000 to oyercome at this next election. But can we not say, with good reason, that the impotent and villainous government of the State du ring the past two years, by the Scott ring, and the universal good feeling which has existed during the most of that time between the native whites and blacks has tended to destroy the animosities and heal the breaches which have here tofore divided the races on political questions. Further, the straight-forward and manly adoption by the Reform Party of the car dinal principles of the Republican party, as set forth in the 14th and 15th amendments to the national constitution, has destroyed the political signifieance of the canvass, and based the issue of to-d.ty upon right against wrong-honesty against venality and cor ruption-and truth against falsehood. This .nabies us to approach honestly and fear ssl- the colored men of our State, and tnpeal to them to aid us in purifying the ;overnment of our commonwealth, and ?i3ding us of the vile incubus of foreign tdventurers, who have done so much to listract and ruin our common heritage. iVith these facts in view, we maintain that requires only the earnest co-operation >f every honest citizen to secure for us, ot only the reduction of the majority Lgainst us at the last election, but the re Aut of a m:ijority in our favor of nearly en thousand. Fruit Jars and yelly Cups. The manufacture of Jars for preserv ng fruits and vegetables has reached to ;eat perfection, yet many of the patents ave faults more or less objectionable. Ve have seen a specimen called the Pet" which seems to meet all require ents, and we call attention to some of ts advantages: it is all glass, the cover >rms a joint on a bevelled smooth top, n the wedge principle, but not so much s to make it diffiult to open, as any hild six years old can close or open this ar. The fastening is a coil of brass r, with its whole pressure In the cen re of cover ; and it possesses this imnpor at advantage that it can be sealed up hile cold, cooked under water, and all e freshness and fragrance of the fruit tained, and when removed is immedi tely self-scaled. In this connection we ake pleasure in calling attention to a ew and beautiful Jelly Cup which need ny be seen to be admired and desired y house keepers. The cup holds 6 ut .ces, is made of clear glass, has a andsomc figure in its botton:, and has a trong, stiff cover, impervious to damp ess or air, and which will last for years. he would like to say more of these ar ies and many others, which we find anufactured by Mr. A. J. Weidener, S South Second Street, and 29 Straw crry St., Philadelphia, but our space nili not admit. We take pleasure in ead, of referring dealers to the manu eturer himself, who will furnish cata riucs of articles and prices, and ad se house-keepers to urge thcir getting supply.

Jdt'erson Davis has sailed for I L1. j Judge Carpenter, and the Spirit of Reform. It was announced in our last paper that Judge Carpenter would speak before the citizens of Newberry, on Monday the 15th, and this report created quite an in terest among our citizens, including a number of the colored people, for in a spirit of malignity or bravado some one had circulated the lie that Judge Carpen ter was afraid to speak at Newberry Court House. An avaunt courier. On Sunday afternoon, an hour or two before Judge Carpenter returned from L a u r e n s, where he addressed the citizens on Sat urday, he was preceded by a shower of rain which came upon us like a clap of thunder in a clear sky-the sunshine didn't have time to get out of the way before the shower began to fall. Our oldest inhabitant will insist that these gallant reformers are the sons of forensic thunder and lightning, and thinks they help to bring the rain. Shortly after ten olclock, a. m., on Monday, Col. Fair, Manager of the Can vass, in a few pertinent remarks, elo quently touched upon the situation and, referring to the occasion,stated that there was no sacrifice of any political tenet, in the reform effort-that it was simply a temporary provision for good to all,&c, after which, Mr. J. A. Moroso, of the Charleston Courier, was introduced to the assembled multitude, who in a logi cal, terse and vigorous style happily pre sented to the consideration of all present many of the great principles involved in the issues of the day. After Mr. Moroso had held the masses in abeyance to his forcible arguments for some length of time he retired amidst a hearty round of applause. Gol. Fair then appropriately intro duced the orator of the day--Judge Car penter, who immediately proceeded, in the forcible style which is peculiarly his own, to illustrate the great truths embo died in the platform of the Reform Party, and the absolute necessity for the suc cess of its candidates to prevent the utter ruin of all classes of our citizens, and the bankruptcy of our State, through the enormous taxation which has been im posed for the "ggrandizement of the cor rupt and ve.al Scott ring. In language so simple and yet so striking were these portrayals put, and which so clearly re vealed the terrible plight to which our State is reduced by the enormous taxa tion of its citizens, direct and indirect, that he wrung from the colored people an involuntary burst of applause. Judge Carpenter, though worn and fatigued almost to exhaustion, stood ith a bold front, a noble mien and a ommanding voice before his hearers; and as with the spectroscope not only srveyed the fields through which the plough-share of ruin runs, but penetra ted the inner chamber where the wheels are moved which Bet the car of uggernaut in mnotion,whose ponderosity f evil madly strives to crush out all that s lovely and good and noble and comely nd generous and pure and true ; all that refines life with its sanctity, and all that ignifies society with its prestige! The errible steam plough ofdestruction which s intended to rip up all the parterres of ocial beauty, harmony and unity, and upplant their fruits with nothing but he apple of discord. Glorious has been the progress of Re form through the State. Never before as such a "cloud" of witnesses for truth nd tonesty hovered over halcyon grove. he spirit of Reform could only be com ared to the be-lated up mail train, as it assed the dense crowd in that beautiful pot, dedicated to Minerva. As its hunder rolled along the rail, so will he upward and onward swelling anthem f freedom for an oppressed country be choed in the soul-stirring speeches of r. Moroso and Judge Carpenter ! And, s before the progress of that train, all ust clear the track, so must it be with ill opposition to the Reform Party in his county after such a free, fair, dis assionate, impartial and truthful state nent of facts as were listened to by the ery large and attentive concourse of hite and colored people. There are marny happy associations md inspirations clustering around and bout halcyon grove, but we question if ~vr before such a thrill of response eaped spontaneously forth from the eart and mind of the eighteen hundred r two thousand black and white men rho had come out on that auspicious nd lovely morning to hear the naked ruth. We would have been better pleased ould we have presented the Judge's pech verbatim, and then its salient oints and its apposite truthis; its tren hant attack upon, and withering rebuke f, pohtical apostacy and fraud and cor uption ; and its touching apostrophes o political integrity, and State redemp ion, and the mutual sympathy and de ~endence between capital and labor-ut ered as they were, in a simple vein of arnest, impassioned feeling, must have been a rare treat to our readers, but it ras not written, it was one of those 'loquent inspirations for the occasion, hich nothing but the stenographer's en can take a picture of. We here ob-] erve that it reflects a glowing tribute pn the speaker's mind and heart. Judge Carpenter did not care to refute particle of the mountain of contumely d slander that his enemies seek to lay pon him. lHe only said that they 'lied their throats as deep down as their mgs." No ! A brave man and a true a can live down v-ile slander. Who the slandered ? The pure man whose rment is spotless. And who are the anderers ? Ever and always either the cerous and the treacherous, or the vious, the malignant, the develish', d the cruel, who bate the whiteness those garments and would sully them. has passed into~ a proverb that slander is d from a corrupt fountain. Amnd it hurls s shaft at the b.right mand the shining light Carpenter is above sander! He is endorsed by the purity, integrity and patriotism of the State! There was present at the meeting fully two thousand persons, a large majority of whom were colored. Harmony pre vailed through this entire mass until near the close of Judge Carpenter'3 speech, when a slight disturbance occurred on the out kirts of the crowd,which amount ed to nothing. After the conclusion cf Judge C's. speech it was announced from the stand that a meeting would bo held at the Female Academy for the purpose of compicting the orgsnization of the Newberry Township Union Reform So ciety, after which the immense assembly rapidly dispersed,and the quiet shades of classic halcyon grove once more assumed its wonted quiet. A large proportion of the people pro ceeded to town and gathered in little knots at the corners of the streets to dis cuss the merits of the speeches, which unfortunately gave rise to a dispute be tween two colored men, which was hap pily quelled without anything more se rious than hard words, although at one time it assumed rather a serious as pect. After which many of the visit ors dispersed to their homes, and quiet reigned supreme over our delightful town. Thus may it ever be! Our observation leads us to the con clusion that most, if not all, of the dis turbances on such occasions arise from the giddy thoughtlessness of the boys of both races, and we do hope that hercafter they will restrain their juven ile exuberance. A DIsco3IFITEn LAwYER.-People who enjoy the discomfiture of lawyers-and who does not?-will laugh over this in cident: "I call upon you," said a lawyer to a witness, "to state distinctly upon what authority you are prepared to swear to the mare's age?" "Upon what authori ty ?" said the hostler, interrogatively. "You are to reply, and not to repeat the question put to you." "I doesn't con sider a man's bound to answer a question afore he's time to turn it in his mind." "Nothing can be more simple, sir, than the question I put. I again repeat it: Upon what authority do you swear to the animal's age?" "The best authority," responded he, gruffly. "Then why such evasion? Why not state it at once?" "Well, then, if you must have it-." "Must! I will have it !" vociferated the counselor, interrupting t b e witness. "Well, then, if you must and will have it," rejoined the hostler, with inpert'Ur bable gravity, "why, then, I had it my self from the mare's own mouth !" A simultaneous burst of laughter rang. Florida is the only State that assumes a new coat of arms with reconstruction. Her old seal wa a spread eagle with ar rows in its claws. The new is described as having in the centre a view of the sun's rays over the highland in the dis tance, a cocoa tree, a steamboat on water, and an Indian female scattering flowers in the foreground, this last being an al lusion to the floral aspect of the coun try, to which the State owes its name. l'he motto, as of old, is "-In God we trust."

TFIF. W31' : B E ?rIE .0Ta,TE3, ITS CAI;a . (t. 'C.1TFc.R, CONDrCT AND RIStLTs." BY -s . H. Snm:s.--Thc National Pub lishing Company, of Atlanta (a., have just issued the second and c o n il u d i n g volume of this great work. For some time past there has beer a general feeling of apprehension throughout the country that the precario' s onditioa of }ir. Stephens' aeaith woul p.cvent his completing the work, but this apprehension is now removed tv the fact that the Look is finished and in the hands of Agents of the Company for delivery. This is a matter of congratulation to the entire country. This book mtst from its very nature, take precedence of all S.tth ern histories of the war. The high position held by Mr. Stephens in the government of the Confederacy, his great abilities as the first sratesman 'ot the South, and his ac knowled;:ed integrity of character, make him perhaps the person best qualifiel to tell the story of his cause and its failure. 1is positioi as second officer of the t'on federacy enabled him to gain much infor msation which was inaccessible to the or dinary historian ; the secret history of his government is a% familiar to him as an open book ; and his constant and intimate association with the leaders of the South, prepares him to speak with accuracy of their motives, aud to judge their acts from a more intelligent atand-point than any other writer. In the first volume of his work Mr. Ste phens confined Itiriecif entirely to a die crssion of the c:tsr.j which led to the .e cession of the South. In the volume now before us, he n,rr.rr.A the storr of the War, giving ripei:rl ernph.:-is to the action of the goernrr,rnent of r Gr.federaev, or to what rmv be callid ir con,fidcrt;.l hir-tory. His arceut of the imortfnt er,nf,-renrce at llarnpton Roais betneen Pr-i,nt Lincoln and the Contr,1 rare (tommi--ioners, is one of the mest v;aMe ad,litlon+ to the litera. ture of the War, and it-lf worth the price of the entire work. The vexed question of the non-exchange of Prisoners of War has much new light shed upon it, and the place mnovemerets in the South are thoroogh lIexplained. The fact that the first volume, niich was but the introdnction to the his tory of the War, commanded a sale of over 6O,(1( copies, fuliy warrants the assertion that this volume, which is nod a mere discus si>n of principles, but a living, breathirg narrttive of the events of the greatest stru;: g'e of modern times, by one of the most im portant actors in it, will reach a sale unpre cedented in this country. No fair-minded unprejudiced person can afford to be with oit this book. It is the official history on the Southern side, and must hold in the li-crature of the War even a higher place than is accorded to Mr. Greeley's American Conflict. It will occupy in our history the pace that is given to Napoleon's Memoirs in the literature of the French Empire. It is like that work the last production of its gifted author, and is entitied to all the veight which attaches to the high character of a great leader presenting to the world the story of his cause in vindication of it. The book is sold by subscription only, and ients are wanted in every county. From the Columbia Guardian Mn. Errron: In the course of the re marks which I have had occasion to make in the present political campaign, I have felt it my duty to make certain specific charges against Gov. R. K. Scott. Those charges I have made deliberately, and in my own time I expect to produce specifi. ations and proofs. Pending these speci ications and proofs, a third party in ervenes and malkes certain chrarges giainst me. Who this third par-ty is I o not know, but I will say en passant, or his consolatio-1, that if his charges gainst me arc true, and I am the mon ter which he makes me; have murdered as many colored people as he pretends ; ave committed the crimes which he layvs o my door, Gov.

I hallenge him, and have no idea of' allow ng him to make his fight by proxy, either on the stump or through tho prs. Very respectfully, M. G. BrTLERn. SOrND SENs..-The Cheraw Democrat aes a sensible and patriotic view of tire oitical situation. It says: "At a time like this, when the only [umestion is, shall honest men or thieves e put in office, we cannot doubt as to u duty of' supporting those whom we onsider honest, whether they be Re ublicans or Demnocrats. To oppose Car enter and Butler would be throwing wI:atever infinuence we might possess in o the scales in favor of that party wich as alr-eady perpetrated such lasting in uy upon the prosperity of the people, n, in thle last two y-ears, increased the dbt of the State from $6,000,000 to erly $15,000,000. It is very probable that atnother term of the Scott Ring in fce will inease tIhe debt of the State n equal ratio, and bring stuch a burden of taxation that every branch of intdus try will be utterly ruined. In support ing the Union Reform nominees, we bandon tno principle ; we btut turn aside for a moment to strike one blow for thec redemption of the State, and to save herj eople fromu further humiliation and: deeper ruin." TireWalhallaCourirsamyS: "The speeches "of Carpen ter and Butler, delivered in Wal "hala on the 28th ultimo, had a salutary ef 'fet in smoothing down the prejudices of our people to the Reform movenmet. They ibegin to realize there are but two parties 'represented in the State by candidates, and 'they must choose between them. It is not 'dificult to perceive on which side the bones tI 'andI intelligent voters will cast their political~ 'vie ws and personal preferences, their trood mse points to Carpenter and Butler. as men to be preferred over Scott and Ransier. 'They know their condition cannot be ren 'dered more lrurdenisome. A change must 'and will be effected." It is computed that the losses result g from the mere declaration of' wvar, issming that no engagements were to e fought, already exceed more than ~500,000,000. Tire panic prevailing in he European financial centres has r iced hundreds of men from affluence to ~enury, and in a moment swept away he hard-earned savings of thousanrds in e middle and poorer classes. War is! :ostly business every way. B.an Boy.-The murdered New York roker, Mr. Nathan, was a model man, t it it said that his sons are fast anad xtravagant in their living, Washington naving be2n arraigned in the police court a the charge of stealing diamonds from woman with whom he was living, and a whom he was spending $30,000 a The Republican publishes a string of esolutions passed at a radical ipow vow, presided over by Phuifer, at New 'crr, sympathizing with .',orris in his tewpn.,Tha ar ring to make LOCAL. We learn that at the colored barbecue, held last Saturday at .Jalapa, the party were growl ing and fighting all day. And that towards evening, one colored man was shot by an other, but not dangerously. Assussous.-The Governor has made the following appoinments for Newberry-John Coate. John Sims, S. 1'. Kinard. B. White, P. Lake, D. B. Kinard, W. B. Wilber, E. R. Kingsmore, Thomas Boozer, N. B. Knox, J. II. Ueasc. ANOTHER IRATRICIDE.-A colored man was lodged in jail last week for the murder of his brother. We learn that the two broth ers were playing cards and a dispute arising, one deliberately cut the other to death with a knife. This fratricide occurred not more than three or four miles from the one recently men tioned in our paper. TUE PROTRACTED MEETING.-Our para graph of last week, in reference to the pro tracted meeting in the Methodist Church, should have been corrected before going to press, but it was inadvertently neglected. The meeting closed on monday night, and we are happy in being able to state that in, stead of thirteen conversions, there were eighteen, and fourteen accessions to the Church. LOST.--A gentleman of standing over six feet in his stockings--has lost the artificial covering of his chest, namely a vest, and he earnestly desires that it be re stored to him ere the cool winds of Autumn come upon him. It was last seen in the brick hotel, and the lasi look he had of it was while it gracefully hung over the back of a split bottom chair. If it has been ap propriated by a professional bagger of the radical carpet stripe, he wants no more of it, but if not, and it has been taken off, and kept to be looked at as a thing of beauty, he implores that it be restored to him. GnArrs.-A charming young friend, who wears dimi:y and lace, and resides at Dove Cot, S. C., whose bower is made redolent by the flowers which grow under the mystic touch of her fingers, and whose atmosphere is illumined by the sunshine of her smile, and the melody and enchan.ment whereof is the sweetness of her voice, will accept our thanks for a basket full of lus cious grapes. How beautiful were the rich purple clusters-and how generous their yield of ruby nectar. Why don't all the ladies cultivate the vine. and from its flowing vintage, supply the lords of creation, if per force of the customs and habits of life, or the cravings of nature, they mu,t. shall or will drink intoxicating drinks, with such a beverage as does enrich their blood, and not poison it as must the vile alco holic admixtures.

TURBULENCE.-On Monday afte:noon the neighborhood round and about the hotel was made the scene of as turbulent an exhibition as was ever perhaps before witnessed, and the like of which we hope and believe never will be again seen. An attempt was made by the republican peace breakers to seize the body of a colored Reformist, who had acci dentally bat honestly imbibed a little too much whiskey, and who in an innocent ex hanberance desired to obtain an imaginary satisfaction of one of the opposite faction. We give the latter all credit however for ma king every effort to avoid a diffieulty. The parties were separated, the liquored man led to his houce, and the other going his way in pence, and here would have ended the matter, but a great mob gathering, rushed to the house of the colored reformist and would have made an end of him perhaps, but for the tin.ely interference of Sheriff Paysinger and other citizens. Since the days of nulliti cation we never saw such an excitement, and even then never such a spirit of infuriation as was shown by this colored mob. It is a wonder that it did not end seriously, and that it did not, is owing altogether to the great exertions of citizens who would m'tint:tin the pence. We believe that many of the more sensible colored men who saw the dJanger which might come of a collision, aided ma terially to quell the tumult. A Dtscorr.-Tbc discoveres in science, in geology, on top of thcecarth and beneath, fade into tnothingness when compared to a recnt discovery made by the local of this paper. Oh that he had the talents~, the wis dom, the energy of a P'ickwick, that he might astonish the learned societics. In his researches a few days since, he discovered a man who never, never, never took a news paper in his life-that is in the recognized and acceptable way. And this man boasts of it . Insult to injury. Little did the local dream of such great depravi ty; that there existed such a creature; that the green earth could sustain such a nonentity; but alas, it is a fact. He lives, and moves, and has a being, is like unto other men. and talks like abook; is versed in the views of the day, can tell the politics of every paper in the State, and many other things which can only be known to those who read carefully. IIow could it he possible ? thought th is local, where does this strango man get his information? and asked. is heart-a very tender one-was iri".ied to learn that this man burrowed his reading, had been doing so for a life time. Is it not dreadful? Will St. Peter open the gates to this man? Never. In vain will be knock. You paid not for your reading in the lower world, will be told him; you particularly, had no regard for the prosper ity or happiness of the proprietors of the Newberry Hieral, than whom no better, or more thorough. or hard working, or better reformists, ever existed. Be gone, vanish, ramose, absquatulate, evaporate, melt, git up and git! No defrauder of the printer can enter here. The local says he would like to put the regular and well known red cross mark on the forehead of this rr avis, that e might not only be known of all men, but that the mark might easily and quickly aid St. Peter in his identification.

Kinard's Colored Academy Directly after the pas:age of the school bill for the . rection of school houses, Major .Joltr P. Kinard went to w ork and erected a school house for the co!ored population in that vicinity, which was shortly after burnt. Determined not to be balked in his efforts he built another. Major Kinard saw the necessity of trying to educate the negro, if possible, to make him a better and more useful citizen. HIe was influenced by the best and purest of motives, and the ef fort has been eminently successful. It is situated about 6 miles from the Court House, in Towniahip No. 5, and is at present under the supervision and manage'.ent of Mr. Spears. There are about SO co'ored schol- 1 ars who attend regularly. On Saturday last there was an examina tion of the scholars in orthography and reading. Quite a number of white persons were present to witness the proceedings. The examination was conducted by llaj. Kinard, and the scholars exhibited a proti ciency in spelling and teading that was really surprising. Many of them who had only been going to school for a month or so, spelt remarkably well, in fact, it was as- t tonishing. We are satisfied that the negro I can acquire knowledge rapidly, and we be lieve that it is one of the best things that can be done to have him educated. That education will tend to dispel ignorance from their minds and remove many of the super stitions and darkened views of the negro is beyond a doubt, and that it will as sure as fate make him a better citizen cannot be denied. c After the examination there were short speeches by some of the scholars, and they a exhibited one thing, which we have seldom seen excelled, a remarkable menmorv. Among the whites present was Thos. P. Slider, who being asked to give them some remarks, promptly responded to the request, and in a brief and suggestive manner deliv ered them a sensible, plain and practical s lecture. impressing on their minds that one i of the hapriest results of freedom was the blessing of education, which would tend to r expand their nmindt, improve their tastes, t refine their sensibilities and remove the pre judices which had so long been a stumbling c block in their way. He encouraged them I to be obedient, attentive and studious, and to labor while they h.u] the oppurtunity to t improve it. The freedomm, said the speaker. of your race, atnd the blessing of education,1s which all can enjoy and imake omc of, is a harbinger of the advancement of your race 1 and of the broad progress of civilizaition 1 throughout the world. Yet vou must re collect that freedom of itself cannot keep c man free. It requdires edumcationl and religion to do this. 3Make use then of the school-c master and of the preacher of the Gospel. You need them now more tihan ever. It I is with yotu to look forward to the emanrn pation of your race, wherever they are held in slavery, as wel: as to Iabor to enlighten the benigh ted af; ica n in the land of Africa. You do not and will not need armies, nor e navies, nor muskets, nor bayonets, nor large preparations of war. You will need the School House aid .thme Bible. You will need the Schmoolmaster a n d the Minister. It rests with you and with your race to show whether yo'n are worthy of that inestimable boon of freedotn which has beetn conferred. It rests with yon and your race to shor~ in the future whether you are a progressive race, and whether you can - earry out broad, entlighitencd and compre- r hensive views, atnd prove to the world of I a hat von are capable.
