Volunteer Company. On Saturday last, a Volunteer Infantry Compa ny was organised in our town. This organization was eflscted undor authority from G ?ni. AMES, Commander of tho Military District of Western South Carolina. It' consists of sixty odd able bodied members, and its prime object is the inter nal p?lico of our town and its vicinity. It stands ready also to lend its fullest assistance to Lieut. BiGGERSTAre, Provost Marshall of Edgcfiold, should he ever need its services. Of this Compa ny the following gentlemen were elected officers by acclamation : B. C. BBYAN, Captain; Jon* R. CARWILE, 1st Lieut; wi F. DURISOK, Junr., 2nd Lient ; J. B. IIonoKS, 3rd Lieut.

It ia to be earnestly boped tho Company in question will go steadily forward in its good intentions, and prove itself untiringly earnest in vigilanco and readi ness. Every town liko Edgcfield should have at least ono or two Companl'3 of this kind. Tew o would be better, as thoy would bring into activity a soldierly emulation and a generous rivalry which would constantly stimulate to improvement. l'irc in Aiken.

A correspondent of tho New York JVcWwrites thus from Washington under dato of Octoborl-f: It is with feolingd of thc most profound satis faction that -I am able to inform tho readers of tho News that President Johnson has determined to pardon JeiTorson Davis, and, it m?y'btr, oven, -withouta trial, although that point is not settled yet. Nor is it at all unlikely that Tu .i short tiree Mr. Davis wiil be released from confinement on thc samo terms that Mr., Sephens has bcon, end thon ai'torwarda pardoned. It i.i posoiblc, but very unlikely now, that he may be brought to trial ia, a civil court for treason. Eut if so, and oven if convicted, ho will be.pardoncd.

To cuter fully rato the discussion of this p.iiut would fur exceed mr limit*; we must leave- niueh therefore to be sujiplied by the iHtelligcnco-of our readers. Wo Would ed vise th"Ro who ente? tain doubts on thia fulject to con sult Anthony Trollope, thc last English traveller in the We?t Ind es, wbero free negro labor lins been fairly tried ?or the indi ve irs. ?Ir. Trol lope is (or rather nui, for be is IIUW dead} an EnjfUshunia 'and au abolitionist; and heneo his tcs.imo'ny- is beyond suspicion. Wc cannot go into an analysie of the book, or quote at length, but Mr.-Iri.lldpO'frankly admits tbut 'freo negro labor.has proved a forai failure in the West Indies *-wiih thp^singlo exception of Trinidad; and that because evcry iuot i?f bind on the islandia oivnbd by U'\ whito man. On this account.the froo ne^ro has been obliged to work or perhb, no ^hatters b??ng tolerated. * Wo have now had ionic six mentltf trial of the froo labor system' ^oursalvos, and. judging from tLia experience, There is bab ono opinion on thc subject-i.c.-uudur ibepresent aysrcni, planting ?ituuut lc Made. pra?l,tile Ta. ?Joulh .Uhroliiia? .. ilcic?e the system mu.-t bo amended, or agriculture abandoned iii this Stato. Thc. great question then fer our'Legid?utuve is, can the ?y*teui be im proved ? : k.?d if so, how? *Wc wirh'it distinctly' nadcrstdod'iU tbe'?utsct, that we havo no obj cc- . tion to the freedom of. tboalaves-no more buying ? or aeliiug of negroes ; of tbat wo fully approve. But setting tlaves.freo fr jva bondage and setting them free from lalor aro things totally different. Unfortunately, tho negro haJ no ooncepiion.of this vital distinction ; hence ibo unpleasant task devolves upon tho white man of torching bim this lesson. And'niort cf actualcouniulMon the' lepson will not abd e?nuot bo taught. Tho great tcork therefore," in our opinion, for ( tho L?gislature about to assemble is to invest tho employer tvithsuch power as ia indispensable to j compel the free, negro to labor. Upon this point ] turns tho cutir? .question ; and as that is decided, ; so is deei 'ed the tafe'.y ur min of tho country. And wo arc honestly convinced that it is as much , for the interest of tho nogro JIB the white man , ?hat the former should bo Tequircd, upon toinpul- ] sion, to perform' a reasonable amount of labor. , Wo would advocate no severer punt-hmcnt th: M . that which is now commonly - practiced by j ino.United States Provost Marshalls in correcting | freo negroes; and in granting that power to the . j employor, we would surround it- with every safo- ? i;?ard to protect thc negro from unnecessary pun- ; ishment. Thus, for instance, the power of pun- ( ishing might bo vested not immediately in thc , employer himself, but in throe of his neighbor.--, , who should determine the amount and witness ? tho infliction of tho punishment. , It may bo thought that Ibo Congress of tho United States would not admit South Carolina ( into the Union with such an act upon ber statute , book. We hara no means of ascertaining anything | certainly upen tl at paint. It may or it may not bc , so. But toko either alternative. If tho Slate j should be admitted into the Union with such.an ? act on her statute bock/ ihe?alv(Bfc>n of the couu- , try would thus be secured. If we aro refused ad- . ^ mission into the Union'on that ground, ithat do , ire lose? We answer, nothing. What do we ox- i peet to gainly getting back iato tho Union ? The ( only revson for dosiriug it is that wo may bc let \ plone to manago our own affairs. Tho country is on the vergo of absoluto ruin because wc havo \ been'deprived of tho labor necessary to cultivate our lands. What ?B io bo gained by going back i into the Uniou? Thc power, wo suppose, of pass- | ing our own laws, regulating our internal police, and m ann ging tho free negroes in thc State aa in our judgment seems best. If this is to ho denied us, then there ?B CO reason to induco a reflecting man to desire any further union with tho United States. If the United States still intends to inter fere, and diotate' to us how these free negroes are to be managed, then we distinctly affirm tho opin- 1 iou that We bad better keep outef tho Union, and leave thc abolitionist to manage bia four million free nogroes aa ho beat can. If tho United States Government takes thc position that tho freo negro is to be loft to work or not work as Ac please*, then wc havo but one alternativo loft us; and that is to look for labor elsewhere-to supply ?ursclvca : with white labor from Eiiropo and India-to di?, miss the freo negro from-our plantations,7and. leave him to tbe abolitionist to tako care of. After 37 pears experience with freo nogro labor in thc ' West Indina, tbe-pcoplo,of fhoso islands aro now 1 tmiversally adopting tho system of importing 1 laborera from Europe and India. It.is wUc then to teat tho -policy of tho Uiiitod states on this point at once. Wc accept her act if abolition ; and now propose to manage this ' "roe labor so ns tb make it profitable) if she will 1 f?tus alone. If that much will not bo oonceded ' to us, thou our policy should bc to get rid of tb'iB J froo negro laW, ot rather froe negro sloth and ! idleness, at tho carita^ 4,y possible, and to give 1 those freo negroes no foothold in uor country. 1 ; Tho,proposition of a ?iuccrci'j^' Suuo rotaining ( four hundred thousand freo negroes wtthia,hor ' borders, who aro to bo governed and protcctea by- 1 laws made by Northern abolitionists, Qjpd tho 1 landholders1 of tho State to be compelled to keep theso negroes on their plantations,- doing as they ! ploar.e? is sn preposterous, that we will not in?alt ' tho understanding of our reader* by orguiDg it. . ^ Our pap?rs from tho Wost, inform us that j thero nover'was sb large a'yield of corn in the West as thi8-8caaon; All our 'accounts from that . jeetion con?u/ ia tho statement that tho crop ia immense. ,. i- . ... . }ggP Pardon8. of mombers of the South Caroli- ! aa Convention have becn-6igned by tho Preaid.cnt, ind forwarded to Governor Porry for distribution, j ?SS- Ther.e. scema?to b& still much trouble in Missout\.^(Srcorning tho rcligiou? test bath.

I.< Interview o? the South Carolina l)eie * gatton with the Prciiueiit.' 1 ; WASJH'NGTOX, October I3.i-Judge Ward law, Alfred Huger and Cul. Dawkins, (;f South Carolina, .this afternoon had. au interview hy appointment with. President Johnson. T^tiJ were accompanied By "W'.'lt. Tresc?t, who; is here on business aa executive agent of that State. The /'resident, after . the customary preliminaries of reception, invited them to,be scated, when at once the conversation com menced* by Judge "Wura 1 aw" infurmiug him that they were a delegation from the State Convention of South Carolina, sent hither to present certain memorials ci that body. These memorials had beeu very carefully considered in thc Convention, and he believed the^ told exactly the truth. Thc President inquired thc object of the memorials. Judge Ward lawr:formtd him, that one of them was in behalf, of .Jefferson Davis, Alexander. H. Stephens, George A. Trenholin, aud Governor Magrath. He said they hod understood that by the -late interference of the Prneident Messrs. Stephens and Trenhohu 1 . idready been released fromcloso confinera' , and per mitted to return to their homes. 1 .c would ask for Governor Magrath cither a pardon or that he might bo released on his parole. They could assure .the President no barm would result from such Kn net of clemency. ' Thc President replied that all could not be pardoned at once. Thc business must be proceeded with gradually, and an effort made to execute the law. A discrimination Was neccssary ns we went along. It was a too common expression, by way of argument, in robard to clemency, that su uh a one had been pardoned, and that he was just as bad us another who had not been pardoned. Judge W^irdlaw replied that thc delegation presented no such argument as that. The President said sometimes tire peculiar locality had much lo do with pardons, hike many other things inhuman sfFatrs, Vc, can not have a fixed rule. Much depends on dis cretion and cifcnmslancf-s. If we know our selves, we want todo what is best and just, and to bhow a proper degree of humanity on the part of the Government. Judge Wardlaw remarked that they'had not come hither to express their own hopes and desires, but ns delegates from -tho South Carolina Convention, to present thc memo-rials of that body in a formal manner. The President-We will,gentlemen,ex Lend nil the facilities ?md'courtesies vhieh the 3uestions require. Wc would prefer to par on twenty men than to refnseone. > " Judge Wardlaw replied that they did not desigu to say anything with refijrenue to Governor Magrath further than that- be lieved much good would result by thc exer cise of the Executive clemency toward him. Col. Dawkins Raid-If we : can get Gov. Magrath-paroled, it would be a,grcat relief to him at the present time.. Judge Wardjaw thanked tho President for having released Stepbens'aiid Trenholm. ' The' President-We have that farythetfr; anticipated your memorial, Mr. dinger said that Mr. Trenholm waa cne: of their most useful men, and there was no doubt he would exert all his power with'a view, to entire harmony between the State aun Government. Thc President replied that he uuc.ersj.ood.. that, was so adding, if treason was committed' there ought to bo some'test to detorni inc the power of tft? government to punish Crime.1 Ile was' free' to '^ny that it wa* .not u mere., content between poli tiwi! parties ora question as to.i.7<3 facto gMVt,rnmei>ts. * Looking at the Qovurnment aa jry do, the laws violated and-' ai?.attempt made nt'.Kc life' of the nation, ' there should be a vindication of thc-Govern ment und tbe'Constitution, even if tho. parr . dotting power werf exercised thereafter., 'If treason has been committed it ought tb bc detoVririncd by thc Li.-jhest' TcibnuliI 'and'the' ?. fact defcTurod; even if tlenicficy- should come afbir-.vrird. . There wai no'malieeor prejudice j itt carrying out that ?u'y. Judge Wardlaw remarked i hey 'wore well aware of that. * The President, resuming, said, there may 1 be soute unkind feeling on tin's subject^bnt it did not exist, to any gre'.it"extr?rit.' v ..J arise Wu rd I aw H.id, although not-~ ?Ql ': structed bj' the Convontiou, he wa? induced to ask whether Mrs. Jelfovson Davis, who wa* now confined in Georgia, could not cr'os:* into ' South Carolina to sec her friends. b -The President r'ooK?d th?t he had'received '" letters from.

The tone of one qt them, however, was considerably improved, but the . otheir. were riot of thc character becoming ( one asking leniency. - Judge Wardlaw interposed. !by saying that ' she was a woman of strong feeling. . 1 Th.0 .PrcMdent-rYeg ; .1 suppose she is o 1 wu in an of strong feeling and temper but - ;hore is no'intention :o prosecute lier!

Huger remarked they all had a ckep'i ' ?onscit?t?ancsi of'llie trnth of all the"Prcsi- " lentsaid. 1 The President, resuming, observed that tho p ?haiactcr of an individual may characteijaa 9 a ?5atior??'w^{c1i'?3*DotL;?T?g 'Lut an irr?gate of individuar?;.' rmd?

He frit-perfectly s..ti*iied that thc per son and property-of the no?ro wouhf be-pro tected,-and spoke of thc great dillie ultu-s of regulating Ubor and restraiuing vagrancy,-!^. The President thought that, many of thc evils' would'disappear i f they inaugurated thc right system", i Pass laws protecting the-col ored mun in ,'liis person and property aad-he can collect his, debts. He knew how it was iu the South. Thc- quotion when first pre sented of'potting ' a colored man in the wit ness-stand made them shrug their shoulders.
