T E TRI-WEIJiLIr NEWS8 BY Oaillard &Desportes.] WINNSBORO S. C., -TUESDAY MORNING, MAY 29, 1866. [VOL. III.-NO. 48 Il1B TRI-WEEKIJY NEWS Jef'erson Davis. The following just and eloquent nr *ticle from the Baltimore Catholic ifir. -ror needs no introdnction: We read in a Washington dispatch that tie government has granted Mrs. Davis permission to visit her hushand at Fortress Mmnirop. Although a partisan ipres; hss seized upon this simple piece fofclenmn..y to denounce it and vilify f-he :otives of tihe ixcenitiv., 'we canno t believe fint 1there could be found a maii il the whole length and Ireadth of tihe Iand, with .ho slightest feeling of huma sympathy in his heart, who does not regard tihe indulgence exhibited, in this instance, as proper, hiumano nud mag hnanintons. Tine name of ,Jt'erson Da vis 4it-longs to history, and the everilowing tide of hinman 4-vents has swept past him forever. If the Mlcedonian con. <lnerer, known to this day in Persia as the mighty mur lerer, uinderstood how to extend a g- n lroiis protection to tihe wife of the finlei Darin; if tine blood. stained COear c u d weep over tie fate of his illusir ot a rival, hlie infortunate Pnmpey ; and the winrlike Air(-lian ills. trate his virines by tihe, pardon of Zeno 'a, iI mo t furmidnable eneny ; surely A idrew Johnson, the Chnrstisn Pres.

When the cry for re taliation was rting in his eat's, and the power to enforce it was lodued inn his he -p'n., is uniiform and deteraminieI J'eIly was-"no0, never; the iniocent must tint hn pinllished for I lie crimes of others." lie wns charged with obstina oy, self-will and I disregani of the opinions of his aivisers ; but it was an obst,iincy, which should be remembered to his nlvantnge to-day. Is. saved thiae liff of those who hiad been drawn by lot. to stil''t'i it similar finte to that n-'ed ont to t he goivrillas, an(] other C..nled rate soldiers, executed by Fedeial con - manders. We well remenber withi what hitterness Mr. Davis' l'-niency was denoinced, what clamors were raised for his removal, atnd amid it all his stondny adherence to tHie iobt hi-. tnane n4ge.s of civilized war. Ile was nn open, honorableand formidable foe tine fortunes of war have placed him in the power of the Goverment, and struck down the Englo from hisquarry. Vitin peration, reverige, sectional ranicor nnd potty malovolenie, have followed like vulturtes the botnnd Promethens to his bnely pell, and wi* doubtless pursue him to the end-'ill biirstn his mighty soul from the tabernacle ofthe flesh. And who is this ninn, thnt lie should have thus attracted the gaze of tie world and stirred tine heart of a great nation to a tumult of stormy agitation ? An Amer. e citizen, who once added luster to the name, and trod the paths ot great iness; a giant aniong the TPitans of the fled, the Senaten anud thne Coutncii. Na. tmure eindowed him with an elegaint per son, a demeatnor of grace and diginity aind amcig'hs natural gifts, hveightened and emnbellisihed by prfounnd enh ivation anre inutmbered' n,w .q gne~e which flow in oriinary conver 3y, andn maunners of surpoanmg Imacinantiof Hesent imnour nationail forum, with -.4r en oane side, Clay on tine other, at~ BdI and Donghas memibers of the satie ced e - "A thns and Mena, Ida.

Jefl'etson Davis has descended the vale of years broken in health, bankrupt in fortune, and the martyr to a cause with which lie believed were bound up the liberties of his country. Is there nothing in all this to excite the sympa. thy of his fellow-men-of Iis country. men ? We will not intrude with pro fane gaze upon the meeting between a devoted wife and such a husband. There are scenes too sacred and touching for the cold descriptions of the pen to con. vey; silence on snohi occasions is the most elmitent, tribute which man can pay to tie sorrows of his fellow. men. BANKtNG Fon TH1. Bi.AcKs.-We find the following item in an exchange: The "Freedimin's Nitiona Bank," an mnstit.ion organized by a Boston firm at Sandy Hill, South 'Carolina, to re ceive and tak,, care of the eaving of the negro(-s in that region, has closed its doors finally. Its name was a mere sham, as it had no connection with the Government to authorize the assimption of the title of "Nationial Bank." Its note.9 were wretched lithographs-much resembling blacking-box labels, but printed in gandy colors, which captiva. ted the eyes of ihe poor negroes. Each freedman who deposited a dollar gleen. back in ihe "hanking," received a two. dollar n->te of this gay pictorial isitie, and rancied, of course, that lie was so imich rieber. Th-re is tio tAling how much longer the swindle would have Lasle., if Caipitain Je-wett, late of tie army, who has leased a plantation in the neigiiborhood of Sandy Hill, had not discovered sol - of the ranudilent notes amlnong the hands on his place, and learn. ed from the simple-.inded creatur6s the nature of the financial enterprise in which they had embarked. He :imme. diately wrote to Washling9on upon the subject; but, Clargea & Higginson, the proprietors If tht 'in itmution somehow getting w:n'l of the discovery, stolo away in tie night-carrying wih them, of course, ill fie deposits in their "vaults." It is Supposed that they realized by this tansaction between three and four thousand dollars. They came South as temperence lecturers, and, at first. eked ot. their subsistence by sel. h'ng tracts and Bildes. It is said that ceitain parties from the North. who are occiipying abandoned plantations near the site oh the douinet "bank," suggest. ed the enterprise to these two advei turers, induced the freedmen in their employ to exchannge their wages for the beatiful bills of Clargos & Higginson, and divided tie profits of the conoern with those woribies. The freedmen who have been thuis shamefully gilled have learned a lesson, but a very hard and unpleasant one. En-in oF Timic.--A sad story is con nected with the name of the writer of the beatiful song "Ever ofThee," which has been sting and admired by so many in, this connitry and in Etrope. Foloy Hall was a gentleman by birth and ednca tioi Wealthy in his own right, with large expectations, 'he led a heed. less life, not choosing his associate, but allowitig himself to be drawn into the society of the vicious. His property soon disappeared. and he was left with1. ont resonreet suffleient, to by his daily bread. H-is musical talenta blad b een highly cultivated, but as lie never teed. ed them, lhe scarcely knftw to what degree they cot.Ah he available. In his distress, htowever, lie wrote his chiarmaing song "Ever of Thee." A Liondbn jinb. lisher gave him one hundred dollar, for it, but that nmontt, wit.h uefhi 'a spend. t,hrift, 'wouild not last long.

Letters from Jripa'n state that the iron-clad vessel built in America for the Tycoon is a failure. The Japanese en. gineer who purchased her committed suicide. Four Baltimore baiks are said to be losers by the failure of tI-.e Merchant' National Bnnk at Washington. One is said to have lost $390,000, and another $100,000.

Mr. H. is not unknown in Charleston. It is the opinion of Qovernment offi. cers that the Merchants''National Bhink of Wiashinigton, 1ho failure of which has already been announced'in our columns, will not pay two cents dn the dollar. The New York Herald's Madrid cor. respondence asserts.thlal. a movement is on foot in Spain which ias for its object nothing le.s than the overthrow of the pre.em,t dyiinsLy.

A Paris letter writer, discoursing of the hard work required of the memberi of the French Legislature. Cites the case of Thiers, of whom it is written: "Af. ter the sitting of Saturday last, M. Theirs, aided by his secretary who had joined him, set 'to work, afer havil:g put on warm linen brought hin hy his valet, and nt three in th- morning was still at work correcting the proofs brought him from the printing office. He hind near him a roll of broad and bowl of soup, of which he took a spoonfill now and then. Bitt, in fact, that. little! man seems mado of iron; and no one can say wh ich is most to be admired. the viva city of his mind or the stout constitution of his body." FATM. AcODvss.--Dr. R. A.

Them days when the sun didn't rise before breakfast. Them days when there was more fun in 30 cenis than there is now in 7 dollars and a half. Them days when a man married 145 pounds bf woman, and less than 9 pounds (all told) of anything else. How I do long for them good old days when education only consisted in Wat a mkn did well. Them days when deenns was as atis tere as hoss rediah, and ministers preach. ed to men's eouls instead of their pock. ets. Them days when politics was the ex. ception, and honesty the rule. Howl long for them good old days when lap dogs and wot nurses were not known, and when brown bread and baked goose made a good dinner. Them days when a man who were not busy was watched, and when wo. nien spun only that kind of varn that wna good for the darning of stoo-kings. How I do long for them gou old days when now and thwn agal baby %ns called Jernsha, and a boy war not,spoil. ed if lie was named Jerrimiah. All you who have tried the featheis and fuss of life, who have had the cod. fish or wealth, without sense, stuck under your nose, come beneath this tree, and long for an hour with me, for them good old days when men were ashamed to be foolo, and women were afraid to be flirta.
