WINNSM04 SATURDAY MORNING, .UN, 24, 18o. Mij. JaEs R. AIKnN iwill please accept our warmest thanks for a fine roast of veal, sent us. yesterday. We enjoyed the treat very much, and thus return thanks to the Major for his kind. ness. CapLJNo. CGORDERo, will please accept our thanks for a late Columbia paper. We learn from. Superintendent Wi. LE, of the Southern Express Compa ny, that,. commencing' with Thursday next, there will be a 'semi-weekly mail, via.Orangeburg, 'rom Charleston to Co lambia, and that it is probable that a semi-weekly line will also be run from White Oak, connecting with the other ane at Columbia. We hope the latter may be so.' Tiis is done by the ener getieness of the managers of the Express Company. The cars on the Charlotte and South Carolina railroad now make daily trips to White Oak, a point eight miles north vf oar town, arriving there at about 2 p. m. and leaving half an hour the same day. Passengers going north lie over, at Chester one night. The Hon. W. W. Boyce. In another column will be found an article taken from the Columbia Phownix, 0suggesting the name of the lion. W. W. BoYc for Governor of the State of South Carolina: We endorse .the suggestion of the Phenix' correspondent, and hope that this gentlemen mAy be elevated to the position of Uovernor of our State. I1e is well qualified, as A statesman, to car ry the sbip of State safoly through her present trying ordeal, and, in our opin ion, could do more good in restoring civil law and political right, with the re-es tablishment of our State Government, than any other inns within her borders. Our Northern and. Richmond exchanges give the opinion, editorially, that Mr. Borct: will be appointed 'Provisional Governor of our State-the Washington correspondent of the New York Hrald intimates the sa-no thing-and we can see no good reason why President JomsoN could not give the appoint ment to one so well qualified to fill the position as the Hon. gentleman referred to. It will be monthslence before it will be necessary to speak of the election.of a Governor for our State-in the mean time, with the meetings that have been, and will be held, in our State, for the *purpose of having the re-establishment of the Government of the 'State go on, - we would like to see Mr; BoYoE- made . the Governor'of the Statt.., at least, uan til one shall' be clioseh by our Legisla ture, at its regular session. If he is chosen fb.r that position' by President J~ndNaoN, we will lend him our warmest support in the administra Lion of the tiffairs of Stato. ,Proclamaations, P'resident JoufNsoN has issued tw~ ian. portant proclamations. In. one ols the President appoints the Hona. WnL LAux L.

It declates the re moval, with certain specified exceptions, of all restrictions on trade-internal, coastwise, domestic and foreigh--in and with ports in the State heretofore pro nounced in rebellion, 4ast of Mississippi river, after the 1st day of July next. The President also proclaims that the authority of the United States being un disputed within the limits of Tennessee, all disabilities and disqualifications at taching to said State apd its inhabitants are removed. ,This- proclamation we publish in this morning's NEws. The Blackamoor. The above is the title of one of Ae sop's fables, ~ written more than two' thousand years ago. It is No. CLXIII in Dr. Croxall's collection; and reads as follows: A certain man having bought a black. anoor, was so simple as to. think that the color of his -kin was only dirt and filth which he had contracted for want of care, under his former master. This fault he imagined might be ,easily re moved. So he ordered the poor black to be put into a tub, and was at consid. erable charge in providing ashes, soap, and scrubbing* brushes, for the opera tion. To work they went, rubbing and scouring his skin all over, bult to no man nor of purpose : for when they had re peated their washing several times, and were grown quite weary, all they got by it was, the wretchd blackatoor caught cold and died. . Resume. Bishop Paine, of the Methodist Epis copai Churci, South, has delivered an address at Aberdeen, Miss., in ,which he said that the war for independonce hasbeen a failure, and the triumph of the . Government is complete. The Southern people, he said, should recog nize this fact, and adapt themselves to their changed condition. The country hiss, already suffered enough in the loss of blood and treasure, and every attempt to maintain the contest, by guerrilla op erations or otherwise, will only recoil with fearful and fatal effect upon those who make it. The Bishop earnestly urged the ministers of his denomination to \betain from the discussion in the pul pit of such topics as are calculated to in. flame the public mind. George Bancroft, in the Atlantic Monthly,. shows that in 1787, tie vote of New Jersey only was wanting to sustain the-proposition of Jefferson, by which Slavery would have been exclud e4aot paly from territory in possession of the United States, but.from all they might subsequently gain. The, present politicians of that State who oppose the Constitntional amendment, are th~refore only true to her history, The Chicago 'IWbune says that the first negro who ever testified in any of the courts of record in that oity was examinmed -as a witness for the people in the Recordefs Court on the morning'of the 15th nit ina case of horse stealing, hi* ovidenebeai-ing strongly against the prisonra.

A Richmond ltter says, a member of the English Parliament has offered Gen eral Lee a splendid residence in LondoA and a sum of money, the interest of which would support himself ind family for life. The Alabama delegation who have been in Washington for several days, re turned home last week. President John son repeatedly and emphatically refused to allow them to have permission for the Rebel Legislature of their State to reas semble. General Grant is making a general cleaning-out of the military prison about Washington. He has already released all the Rebel wounded in the Capitol Prip on who are willing to take the oath of allegiance. Some 6,000, who have already "taken the oath," will soon be set free. Large quantities of cotton and tobac co have been brought to light, at Mont. gomery, and a brisk trade is being open ed. The steamers are running again between there and Mobile. Society in Texas is in a fearful state of anarchy ind demoralization. In the principal cities scones of violence are of constant occurrence, and the better class of citizens are anxious to secare tie pro tection of the United States. Persons attending the assassina'tion trial at Wasihington assert that they re cognize Payne, the man who attemptes Secretary Seward's life, as Richard Lee, Von of the rebel Admiral Lee, .and ne phew of General Lee. It stated that mapny of the large Vir ginia plantations, formerly worth $150 per acre, but now commanding only $2 to 2 50, are to -be purchased by North. era capital, and cut up in small farms. It is stated by a Montreal paper that ten Southern rebels have ten millions of dollars deposited in bank'in that city.

Mr. Boyce is more likely than any other citi. zen of South Carolina to receive the ap. pointwent of the President of the United States as Provisional Governor of the State. It-is, we believe, the desire of the greater portion of our citizens that lie should receive the appointment. He is, in brief, their preference. He is ours. We regard him as one of our most sen. sible, considerate and prudent statesmen, moderate in opinion and politic in ac tion. It is well known that, while as. sorting all the rights of the State while, in fact, a State Rights man-he yet weighed the question of policy, in the late secession movement, in connec. tion with thnt of abstract right, 'and de cided against our action on the first election of Lincoln. It is now to be re gretted that his prudence did not prevail, even against .and over the instincts of an eager patriotism. But all that is over now, and regrets are idle. It is enough to know that Mr. Boyce posses hes all the requisite of statesmanshi and is adequate to meet the deman ds which thu'business before us is likely to make upon the wisdom of a Provisiona Governor of the State. Whether he shall receive this appointment or not, we are yet for putting forward the name of Mr. Boyce as that of the person who should fitly receive tihe honors of the Fxecntive, whenever we shall again en joy the privilege of voting for a Govern or. We beg to nominate him accord ingly, and trust that all friends of good order and a wise dicipline, all who seek to begin a march of steady internal im provement, regulated by good sense and good conduct, and enlarged and whole some vi--we of State policy, will keep his name before the country as that of t'he favorite nominee for this high posi tion. V e must not now sufer 6rselves to he deprived of the ability and worth of such a citizen, and it will .be our im. perative duty to seek out such citizens for all the oflices of the country. Our people owe it to themselves to be espe vially heedful in the future, how they throw away thei#. votes on the on worthy. They peril their liberties and prosperities in every case where they trust.power to the hands of the und9 serving and iiconipelen.L We repeat. Mr. Editor, that all friends of order and of. the future good and happiness of the State will keep the name of Mr. Boyce before the peqple as that of next - Exec. tive. B. G. A. Wno is PAYNE ?-Payne, the would be assaasin of Seward, is the subject of mAny sensation articles in the Northern journals. The following from the Wash. ingtn &nr. is a fair specimen: It will Le seen that on Saturday Mr. Doster, the ccuisil for Payne, alias Wood, alias Hall, alias Powell, asked that the Commission would give the defense an opportunity to pro'mnre the attendance of George Powell, father of the accused, as a witnoss; and, in ansiver to a question by the Court, gave it to be understood that tho real name of the prisoner is Powell. . Payne has given no intimation as to who he is, and what he is, outside of what lhe may have com municated to his counsel. Since his coiyasel set up the plea of insanity, he is eten-more reticent than before, It is a mattei- of' report that Payne says, in answer to questions concerning his an tecedents, "I don't know ,my name, I was stolen frqm my parents, when qmuite young." Some days ago acolored wdmani who stated- that she was formerly a slave of the Lee family was in the Coitio .O~ and on seeing Payne shlbtirst~ibto tear.
