Various of onrcxrb?n<te? have rocntly had | Fmiethlnp to say ai>out "Labor" In South Cur-1 ?>llna. And. In our opinion, the only dema-1 ..nnlonl TVrtrl/ r\f tl,n IdfiF COCeIAH nf nill* I.Pl'lK lnture wnsa futile attempt to control "labor" under the uuiseof punishing negroes for vloIfitIon of contract to work on the (arms. This week we reprint an article on the "Labor" subject from a late issue of the Charleston ycus and Courier. Among other matters contained therein Is a repetition of the ns-<cr-i tinn about the superabundance of colored clt?-??" Jzens In South Carolina, alleged to have bc?-n made by the Hon. M. C. Butler, who represents us in the United States Senate. In tne first place, we do not believe that the Honorable Senator ever uttered so foolish and abmrd an expression; and.In thosecond place, if he did express the opinion imputed to him It Is perfectly certain that he could not tind in all south Carolina "a baker's dozen" of practical men with common sense whom he could | lead into such a fa'lacy. VOth thousands of j fertile land in rverv county of the! fctate lying idle and going to waste for the want of labor to till the soil, we are unable t<> see how any friend of South Carolina, outside the lunatic asylum, could encourage or lead the negroes to go elsewhere. In Abbeville t-ounty there are about five thousand negroes nnd about threo thousand white voters, and yet It appears from tho Auditor's books that | only about one-fourth of ourlands are In cnl- i tlvatlon. With a knowledge of this condlrtlon of affairs, we take any man who would | ^ruitiee the colored people away from thlscoun-! 1 ti,- to be little less than a public enemy.| livery man. whether white or black, who Allows and makes a bag of cotton is a public lisuefactor, and contributes Just that amount I / to the wealth of the country. It is from the | r/ flow of little springs that the great streams j tlerive their strength, unci In like manner it is j * by the contributions o^individual farmers that the greut volume of money is increased. Instead of having too many negroes in Abbe- ! \ I lie county, *e need twice as many as we rlmvc."-' Xearty every farmer in the county I could give employment to one or more colored families and find themselvos greatly benefited thereby. If our citizens had tenants to the capacity of their farms, the rents would soon make us the richest people in the world. J 15utas It Is, there are farms here containing j from three hundred to five hundted acres, with only one or two tenants who cultivate perhaps one-tenth of the laud. The attempt of the Legislature to "control nbor" by the act to punish persons forentic lug luouriirs away in.nu iiuuiuvi s iiiiiu ww unworthy of the best and most thoroughgoing General Assembly that has met In South Carolina since reconstruction. The best and only truo way to "control labor" Is to treat the hired man lairly aud reasonably and to pay ? liini good wages?certainly all that we promise. We have had practical experience with laborers and median Its ever since the war, and have yet to find the first cause of general complaint. Good pay and fair dealing has never yet failed to satisfy both employer and employee. By this rule, when either becomes dissatisfied a settlement cures all source of trouble. Why any man should want a labor-, itr ou his farm after he had become dissatisfied, is more than we can uud rstand. Whenever an employee is not loyal, he should, in ^ our opinion, bo dismissed Immediately?wo would have no unwilling laborer about us. working fur another than he can for us, we not only cheerfully consent, but advise the chunje. A poor man's muscle is his capital, j and he should dlFpo>e of It to the best advan - ' . tage to himself and his family. Holding this *""* vluw of the matter, whenever we canuot afibrd to pay no hfgh-.ni* another for labor, or help of any kind, we Just iettn<ro.tKio7^?oa< iw! he should do. In our opinion a man that talks about being unable to "eontrol labor," only proclaln s his own unfitness for the business he pursues. / We are perfectly sick and tired of all this talk about ''oontroirMa^JM^~-liLi?ii;>~r*ntr>" Xtecykeamev and hU followers 6omo time j 3j~ ago undertook to control "capital." We know, B of nothing to equal the atrocity except the cf S 'ort to "oontrol labor." Combinations or laws to make cither subservient to the other is an outrage upon Justice. The laws should be a Bhlcld to tlio poor and weak, and not au en* if giue to crush and oppress them. Erskluc Collegc'-rrofessor-elect or ^ Mathematics. From Dr. Sloan's letter It will be seen that] the Board of Trustee* of Ersklnc College have eloctod Mr. John II. Miller, of Camden, Alabama, to the Chair of Mathematics In that College. As wo understand It, Mr. Miller will not assume theduties of the positionlo which he has been clected until after he has prepared j himself for the proper discharge of those du-; tie?. We arc not personally acquainted with | Mr. Miller, but we learn that lie is a young. t gentleman of flue native abilities, aud It Is generally believed that as so.-m as he shall have attained proficiency In the 6clencethat he Ik expected to tench, that he will do even r more than Dr. Sloan claims that he will do, viz: "that he will fill the p'a^e with credit to . . himself, honor to the institution, and greut tntUJaciionto hia friends." In this qualified . expression as to the merits of the new Professor, we cannot believe that this progressive and liberal-minded member of tho Board nicxnt "to damn by faint prniso" him upon whom the Board bad Just conferred its honors, and for this reason we would add that we believe that he will also fill the plnco with satisfaction to the public and to the patrons of the College. A man can often satisfy "his friends," when the public from whom an inBflBflBir atltution derives It* chief support Is not quite HO well picasen. rur iuib ri'iwun, wu win go ? raOR^Lmiic further than our esteemed Mend, tho ^WfiHM^fcls'.lnguisIieU Dr. Sloan, and promise that j^HjnjS^Rwhen Mr. Miller, at the end of the year, asBnHHu!DC3 the Professorship to which he has been HBHRBectcd he will pivo entire satisfaction not to his friends but to the public also. The Board of Trustees havoacted with serious and prayerful consideration of tho best Interests of tho College, and wo doubt not that they have acted well In tho matter, while giving due weight to the consideration of the pro\r. . priety or expediency of waiting so long atlme I to fill this important Cluilr lit tho College. | . Under the circumstances w o presume the inI tercsts of the Church warranted their action, and we shall expcct to see Mr. Miller tnake lilmself equal to the requirements of the ofBflce. He Is an orthodox Associate Reformed Presbyterian, aDd in point of religious creed at least is at once acceptable to the denominatlon whoso children he is expected to educato. We are led to believe that the Trustees L fiillv rnnvtnppil nf thp nfnpccltv nnH r I* ? ? " """ ? ? determined upon raising the standard of education In the College. If we may beullowed a suggestion, wc would say this: If there Is no valid reason why they should not do so, let the Board of Trustees, or the Synod of the Church, pass a resolution declaring all , the Professorships vacant, and the Profes' #ors subject to re-election ut tbe expiration of Ave years. They could do as Supreme Jud^c* and Senators have done on occasions in the past. Let them after the yas'age of this resolution, consider all the Professors re-elected when the Professors, like the Senators and Supreme Judges, could draw lots for the long and short terms, and then regularly thereafter cach Professor could be elected or re-elected for the full term oi . five years. By electing two Professors every ? .two years, in this way no radical change in the Faculty of the College could take place, and then each Professor would at least kn?w that there was a chanco for his forfeiting h't place, if he did not koep pacc with the advancements of the age. and the requirements of a progressive Board of Trustees. Upon the whole, we think the Board ol ? _ ' Trustees have given the best evidence of a determination on their part to do their whole duty in the prcmisos. Political Arrests. The Hampton Guardian in speaking of the ? arrests in that county for alleged violations of the election laws, among other thing:, >. - fa>6: "Every man arrested Is a Democrat, and tbc Democratic party must stand squarely at their backs with funds and able attorneys to au<ist them in their troubles. We have 110 ?!oubt that many, ir not nil, of tbe accused parlies will be declared Innocent by the United States Court, and then let the lying witnesses have a chance to cleanse their perjured >ouls of guilt or else go to Join their fellows in the "innumerable caravan" on the tank* of thcG'ongarce. White men cannot a fiord any longer to have their business neglected and time and money lost at this late at the will in <f a few low, whisky-drinking officials and their lying, negro tools. Let eontributions pour In upon the County chairman. Swell to thousands, it need be, the fund to assist our brothers In distress, and to tens of thousands to pursue and prosecute j-erjurcrs without morcy. The time for dtelsive action has surely come.

Give ut the news. r. r'" r ?1 Pnttine on Airs. For our own part wo do not know why the religiousodi:or.s areso vindictive against Haia Bernhurdt, anu cxercise so little of tho Clirl.s-' tlan grow when cpeakln?of tlio patronnge that the public have bestowed on that Rctress. Tho cooks for some of thoso pious people, and tho nurses of their Jown children, make no pretension to tlie possesion of tbe moral quality, of which they say the great actor tsj UCUUIl'im 14 IUV vuv (O n/v <*iv vv -- - . fore an audience In public, It would seem that those whom we take into tho privacy of our owu household, to watch overandeare forour innocent little children, should n>tbelessj pure than the standard which we would set i<p I for a public actrcss. Of course we know very litt'e of tho purity of "Jomestic.;" In the North, but f. r a majority of tUo Southern J men to put 011 airs about going to bean Sara Bernhardt is nothing more r.or less thau inconsistency?not to put It In utrongor language. Christian people i>hou!d look well to | their own acts before condemning others for less offenses against tho moral law than they themselves commit. Wo think the practice of onfldlng oUr puro babes and Innocent children to the care of impure women a much more questionable act thau that of 1'rnu'n.nn r>< oi<io L'olnff to an opera or theater - ?to see ami hear Sara Bernhardt. IJy-tlie-way, I docs It not seem a little strange that these in-1 consistently pure people have such a nuck for; ferreting out and publishing the defects ofj persons against whom they have taken a dis- ] like? In this connection, we would have it under- i stood that we make no excuse for the sins of; Sara Bernhardt. We think It rljjht that she i should be excluded from "society," but we do not think It commendable for every "religious" man In the whole country toabusehcr and the people who go to see and hear her. It will be remcmbored thut our Saviour, on ono occasion rebuked some pious gentlemen who were accusing a woman, very much rn they are now accusing Sam, while thej are, by Implication, casting insinuations against those wtio have the cultivation to appreciate her talentd, and the ludepcndencc to go to hear her. - 4X** + An Affliction* In the Chriatimi Union we notice that "The Future of the Xegro in the South" is being dlscus>cd by Howell Cobb, of Athens, Ga. We had in years past thought that we might reasonably hope for a reston this subject,atsome future time, but It seems that no such good luck is in store for us. If tho gentleman from Georgia would say only ono thing that had not been already swld about ten million times in the last fifteen years, we might biar with it, but for a prominent citizen at this late day to i;ilie up me suujeciaiier every iumi,iu uuui the North and the South, had discussed It until It was threadbare, is more than anybody, except a Christian editor, could tolerate. That we may bo relieved of a further infliction of a discussion of this subject, we shall implore the prayers In our behalf of all religious and God-fearing men for the next ; thirty days. "The effectual fervent prayer of I a righteous man availeth much." and consequently we shall yet rcucw our hopefor a final deliverance from this evil. Then we may be able to study out the proi b!cm of what is to become of the white peo| pie If they don't go to work and let the nesrro i alone? The negro is at woik, while iniprnctlI cable white men aro distracting our attention from that more important subject, ' the future of the white mau in the South." The Cnfortniiate. It appears from tlio Greenville Xcu-x that Mr. W. \V. Goldsmith's safe was robbed on the nicht of December 24; that he soon afterward offered a reward of $1/103 for the thief; that Mr. Goldsmith subsequently made an assignment of his goods for the benefit of his creditors; that recently some "unknown person" requested Mr. Goldsmith to deposit with some reliable firm this amount, because he thought the robbed man could oot command so much monevjt the 5W "'"V tfe"? ~ 01 the sum on condition that goldsmith furnish the other half; Goldsmith then said, "I have suffered greatly?my loss has been heavy, and I am not nowy the reward offered without distressing my _ It liLffoTdoubt all liberal, generous, and fair, Knt ilis mnni.or In whio.ii the circumstances j are lo!d cxcitesour sympathy for the unlucky J man, who has been compelled to make an asj sign merit. If the Mayor thinks the city ought to ofl'er a reward of $500 for the discovery of the thief, ho need not make the ofl'er conditional on the payment of a like mm by the nmn who has suffered the Ioks, and is insolvent. To us the proceedluss, taken asa whole, seem a little out of the regular order of things | in such coses; ? o - ? The Killing: of Railroad Employees. There Is scarcely a week in the year that we do not read of the crushing to death of Itallroad smployees. This it seems to us occurs from tho Improper construction of the"buf fers'' or "bumpers" or "couplings" of theears. In our opinion Congress should pass a law requiring that such arrangements be made for the coupling of cars as will not endanger the lifo of the employee as at present. Under the present arrangement It eecms little less tlmu premeditated murilor to employ a man to undertake so dangerous aJob as the coupllug of cars. Jfeirberry Takes tlie Load. From the last issue of the yewberry Herald we are led to believe that they Intend to enforce in that county the law against carrying concealed weapons. In four days after the | law went into effect, three persons werearj rested for rlolatlon of its pro%-islons. We are | glad to sco this evidence of a disposition to ! enforce a good law. The Hn ald says: A good start has boen made in this couuty j toward enforcing the new law against carry j tng conccaled deadly weapons. It Is u good I law, and has long been needed. If strictly enj forced, and If violators are punished pretty sei verely, the evil habit of carrying pistols will soon cea?e, and then there will be fewer homicides. Hut unless the law Is to be enforced rigidly and Impartially It would better not be on thestatute books; for it would then put the man who desires to obey the law at the mercy ot him who disregards it. There arc many who maUo it a point to obey the law from conscientious motives?because it is the law; I while there are others who will not obey it I unless compelled todoso. For the latter class ia good, healthy fine or Imprisonment will i work wondcrlul results. Wo nolo the followi lug: Mr. John Allen, a Tennessee horse trader, I hail a difficulty with a negro on the streets the 4th Instant, and drew a pistol from hl? pocket and tired twice?not at the negro, but up Into the air, prob.ibly to frighten him. He was arrested and bound over by Trial Justice Fair to the Sessions Court on theehargcof carrying a concealed deadly weapon. Joe Robertson, colored, shot another colored man named Stephenson Mr. J. M.Ward's place the 3d Instant. A warrant has been Issued by Trial Justice Carlisle for his arrest, on the charge of assault with Intent to kill and carrying a concealed deadly weapon. Zekc Robertson, colored, is also charged with carrying a concealed deadly weapon (a pistol). and a wnrrant has been issued bv tit* I fiume officer for his arrot. ; We nre requested to warn the people of this I and adjoining counties against giving any aid 1 or encouragement tooncMmith, who professes to he an oflicial member of the Methodist Church, and traveling to raise money for the bcnelit of the Walterboro Church. This man j is a vile Impostor ami has noauthorliy for his I action. V e would be clad if the press of tho j State would hand him around. j We take the abc e from the Orangeburg | Times, not for the pui pose of copying an unj kind word for "one Smith," but that we might .{protest against the publication of such noi tices. The editor is uierely "requested" to | write up a poor friendless creature, and he i straightway goeeotl and advertises this man j j as a "vile Impostor." If "one Smith" had c'; chcated the people of Orangeburg It was In or, der for tho Orangeburg Times to relate the II facts, when tho public could Judgo for thetn! solves, whether he was, or was not, "an 1m. , jpostor." That wholesale denunciation of a (l man, bccauso the editor was requested to do j so, should cease, llow does the editor or his i informant know that "one Smith" intends to j chcat anybody ? The liberty of tho press r'should not bo reduced to license to defame I any class of our citizens. I A writer In the Baptist Courier asserts that I our Baptist brothetK did not adopt "iramerI slon" ns their mode of baptism until about j the year 1635. This statement Is a stunner, and many orthodox Baptists will ^bo slow to accept tho statement as true. The law to prevent persons from carrying concealed weapons Is now in forcc, and every one had better read and obey it. There Is no j necessity in a civilized, law-abiding country 'tor a mau to go out armed like a highwayman. The habit is an insult to our society, and is dangerous besides. The Legislature has decided to stop it, and some one will be 1 punished for Its violation before many weeks pass. The prie.; of pistols should be considerably reduced by the new law?at least we npi prebend there will be fewer or Hum sold. | The law is a good one, and should be strictly . eniorced.?Luuwstcr Jtcvitw. \ The enactment excltim; most comment in ; the press, is that prohibiting the snle?>f liquor .outside of ineorpoiaii'd towns.

A Little History ] \ OF THE CONFEDERATE GENERALS. j l Tha Wan tV'liA AfTVihnfl nn Tlipir TJvM .f and Property on the Altar (if Their' Country, and How they Accepted the Arbitrament of the Sword and Abided by it. From the Charlotte Observer we take the following arlkie, which that, paper says was taken from the Atlanta GinS'ilxitton. We transfer It to oUr columns because we believe It t:> be of general interest to our reader*,and b'-cause It furnishes one of the best arguments In favor of education. Those who took a leading part In the war, and who afterward held important positions in the political or the civil pursuits of life, almost without exception, were men of education. ! The fate of the "rebel brigadier" at the close < of the war was enough to depress the most i buoyant among them. They had put every- , thing on the turn of the sWord and had lost. < Of course thepiivate-;of theConfetleratearmy I were deserving of ail sympathy ; but It seems ' to me mat me geuerais nuu suuicwiihl uuiuvi < times.

At the outbreak at of the war between the Stales General Evans In was In Texas at Camp trooper. As soon hs hi news was received of the Secession of Soulh ?

Upon his arrival at Mont- of gomery, Alabama, where tho Confederate (.ton- sti gross was In session, he was given the appointment of Major or Cavalry and detailed T1 for duly us Adjutant of the regular forces In G' South Carolina, and In the discharge of this ut duty was present and assisted In the bombard- ?'c merit of tort Sum I er. He was subsequently C< appointed a Colonel and sent to Virginia gr when the war cloud of battle waR about lo burst over the people of the South. In the cl memorable first Manassas battle he was as- ly signed the command of a brigade. For the P< part he bore in this battle, his namewas men- m tioned with particular distinction by General h< Beauregard in Ills official report ol the action, ai South Carolina also honored him with a gold medal for hi* gallantry. Although General in Evans was engaged In all the great and most vl Important battles of the war, and in every tli State of tho Southern Confederacy, there was bt none that more conspicuously called forth hl?

It is believed they w would have beeu equally go. had his life so C| valuable to our waning cause been spared. A b few days afterward in the bloody anijle at Spottsylvanla, his hrave and devoted com- 3 rades, stood sorrowing around the corpse of cj their Idol?the dead Brigadier.

Senator Butler Is reported by the Washing>n correspondent of the New !'or,fc Heratil as tying that he believes that both the negroes ow In the South and the Souther- whites ill be the better for the migration of a large roportlon of the blacks to otherStntes. The Idacks are too numerous with us to do well. If South Carolina had but half ns many as die has she would be a more prosperous and advancing Slate. '1'he negroes who remained would be far better off, and the places of those who had left us would be quickly snpulled with white Immigrants, to the enrich menl of theState." 'Ilila Is reported to be emitor Butler s view. We know that It Is the common opinion thut lore is more colored Inbor than III needed In nuth Carolina, and th* number of colored oiere Is laruer than Is good Tor us. l!ut comlalnts reach us that labor Is source In seme art* of the state, nnd we are not s are, by iiny loans, that while people will ftoivin.as fast s the colored people can flow out. Cheap labor as a rule is Inefflcler t. It Is the Id story of "poor pay, poor preach." White (borers will not be satisfied with the wnges, [jelter and ration* given to the colored poole; and white laborers in this country are tie equals of their employers and cannot be rented as "free nenroes." We shall be glad If our country correspondntswlll give us what information tliey have n these points: 1. Is thesnpply of labor, excessive, suttlclent or insufficient; nnd why? Arc waccs rising? 3. Arc employers deslrus of teltlng white laborers to replace the egrncs and are they prepared for the changes lint are indispensable if white laborers are to e obtained and kept? 4. Is not the colored inn. having regard to the habits and training f the whites as well ns to his own peculiar!-' les, the most manageable and efficient agrlultural laborer within reach? 5. Will not rhlie lmmigrantscome here to work for themslvesandnot for others, and, by hiring neroes, rather lncrense the demand for colored ibor than diminish it?
