Barbarous and Destructiva Yankee
Raid on NinfXySix.
On Friday night last, at the dread hour of
midnight, the sleeping citizens of the vicinity of
Chappell's Depot were aroused by their terrified
domestics, and informed that the Yankees were
at their doors. Three hundred truculent and
bloodthirsty Hessians, "full of strange oaths
and bearded like the pard," hadji I ready reached
Fellowship Church and bumed that sacred edi
fice; three hundred were busily engaged in
knocking Ninety-Six into a cocked bat; while
three hundred more ir ere marching'doifn through
laurent with fire and sword. Fearful was tho
alarm, and wild the excitement. The ladies rose,
and hastily seep ring their silver apd jewelry,
entered their carriages and were driven oh" fran
tically. There are many unprotected females in
that neighborhood, and we imagine they were
emphatically "on the rampage." But let.us
make a long story ?hort. There was not a Yan
kee nearer to them than Edgefield Jail. A
Sheriff's persse of three men attempted to arrest
certain negroes In the vicinity that had been with
held by their mastefs from Coast labor.' Thc
nogrocs fled in dismay, reporting tho presence of
three bundled Yankees. The Sheriff's porso'of
tjirtt men soon swelled into a body of nive hun
dred savage ." bluo bellies I" We giy* yep the
tale as we got it ; nor do we f*Tet down aught, ip
malice." A certain fair lady, before -her flight,
had all her silver cast into the well. Wo* ear
nestly hope the ''vasty deep" of this woll. may
give ap its treasure to tbe very Inf t-salt spoon.

But who is the Drawer of theta Treasury note
The common answer would be.- the Governniei
Now we know that the Pr&wer of 'a noto is r
spoasible for ita payment, tbat?*he can be sued,
law, and hie gooda sold to satisfy the note. B
we opine that it would prove rather an unprofit
bio business to suo the Confedera' Govornm?
fer one thousand million dollars. It might tnt
ont a nu /'a ?ona cast. While thea tho Secreta:
*i*f the Treasury is the" ostensible drawer of the
notes, he is in point of fact but the .agent of
Company. The Principal, the retpoutible part
fur tfi?so notes, it the people of tho Confedera
States. If these notes "are overpaid they mu
be*paid by the people of tho Confederacy.,
It would be well then for the Planter and Mani
facturer to understand now that when he is sel
lng his goods for Treasury notes, bo is selling ft
bia own paper. He premises to pay the hold?
of the ? ?ud potes so many dollars in gold or til
ver coin six months after a treaty of peace'wit
the United States. Hec?o. the exaot amount c
promissory notes issued by the Trearater, wi!
be the amount of the debt which, the people wi]
have to pay at tko end of-this var. Kow th
amount of that debt will depend upon' the ooato
the war ; and this cost will depend upon the prie
that Government baa te pay for proriiiona ant
clothca to supply the Army.
* Hence it is self-cvitje nt thatir the Plantor ant
Manufacturer require theJleverSament to pay $1
instead of $1 for food and .clothing to suppl y th<
I Army, they will hcv* m. debt 'or five iastoad ol
nae to pay at the ead of the war. Instead ol
accumulating a national debt annually of ont
million,* they are.in faot waking a debt of five
million. The" question recurs; who is to be
benefited by tba operation ? The answer is
plain ; the people generally must be injure:.
The debt at the end of the war wtlh bc paid,
or it will not- fake either alternativ.- youth mk
most probable' If the debt is paid, .who u to
pay it? The people of the Confederacy; ibero
is no other supposition petcfble. Hon id this to
be dene ? These Treasury notes must be fnndeo ;
the Government will issue bonds for tho amount
and ci ubi isa a national debt. Tho interest upon
t^eso bonds must be ptiJ. annually-and the
money te pay this inter?s; be collectedby.taxing
tba people. Now if Plantera and- Manaftrctorers
' continue to fjamapd front the .Government tee
present enormous prices for bread and cloth, at
the end ef- thia war tho national debt will amount
to some l-?-or S thousand million dollars; the
debt is already one thousand million.
-' If th? nit; in de tern: jue* to p av the debt, whiok
in honesty, it is pound to do, thea tho papple will
be hardened with an amount of taxation greater
thauanypeople ever greaced^undor. Thus the
men who now think that they are growing rich
by extorting from the Gevernmtnt- will- finally
be forced to disgorge their ill gotten cain?-and
that in geld and silver.
But let ut take the other a! tomat ire-th at the
debt will not be paid. We repudiate ; what then 7.
Upon whem will the loss fall? Certainly npon
the holders of Tr eas a ry notes. It- can fall upon
nona. eise. Abd ?boro wil^tbe loss fall heayitat f
Upon tho6e Miroly whs are now' gathering large
amounts of Treasury notes by the salo of their
goods. The poor will havolittle to los?, fer it
now requires the expenditure of every dollar
they get, to support them from day 'to day.
If to avoid this rilk, tba Planter and Manufac
turer, in their madness, determin? nat to reecive

wlrich proposos to educate all the needy children
of Edgefield Soldiers who have died, or who are
dow engaged in tho serries of oar country.
This plan was cordially adop-ed by the Asso
ciation,'aid a Committee, consisting of the frcm
each Church, was appointed to secure all necis
larv information- Ai Chairman, I now address
the members of that Commitfe?, taking their
prompt and hearty co-operation. ' I doiire yera
j .to ascertain hew. many such children in your
respective neighborhoods .cen be induced to at
tend scheel regularly, rovided their tuition be
paid, and all nectary School-books be furnished.
I desire alfb to know what, schools are within
reach of theso children, and what prospect there
may bo for establishing schools.in. communitic.?
which hav* noEt, ly ?citing with parents who,
are able to educate their own children.
Brethren, the object in view needs not a single
cord of commendation. You will endorse, it
-sith the whole heart, and a host will bid " God
Speed" to tba ??<><i work. ' " ~

telling and bearing ghost stories*. The exhibi
tion was a complete success/as waa- testified by
the frequent -bursts of applause, and the many
earnest requests for a speedy repaition..of the_|^
entertainment'; as well as by : he more tangible
fact, that, ea the nextjaerning. the accomplished
and talented Principal of tho ?School forwarded
$700 to, lU-v. Dr. BACB?CAS ! for the benefit af tba''
Hospitals; the result of the efforts of-herself and

table bountifully supplied with a feast of edibles
by tho lady .refugees, who thereby added con

' On last Monday ev on jug we had the pleasure j
of attending another entertainment, at tho same
place, ander the au* pices of the sama-'patrietic^

Concerti in Augusta... Tho introductory fint?ala,

l^yausjcdOTiagpoTtieB Of the audience*-who were
deligbtcd'alse.by his- beautiful accompaniments
te the songs' of tho talented il i ia ' Lr ox of Eigt

Soldier in his blanket," by Dr., Co urama. ?We'
hava seldom heard anything.mere ' eloquent than
Mr. BAR3E3 recitation of " Bingen on the Rhine, ft
which appealed powerfully. to the. bear ti and
sympathies of many of the audience, who havj.U
lost loved ones on the field "of battle. Many on
cyo became moist and many a heurt was touched I I
by the words of the dying soldier. There -were,
also a few beautiful Tableaux-" Night and Mor- \\

chief feature?, Of tho evening'were the inimita

The inclemency of- the evening kept many at

$700, and ware forwarded to the Soldier's Relief

During tko war, the people of par village have

We knew of the fitting oaf and sailing of ]
