DISTBICT WESTERN SOOTH CAROLINA. COLOMBIA, S. C., November 22, lt?bo. Circv ar. In order to avoid the evils that must rfeces garily follow a failure on the part of employ ers and freedmen to euter into contracts for the ensuing yoar, it has been determined to r?quire that contracts- be made immediately. The accompanying form has been adopted aad will be observed. It is hoped that the stipulation in this form providing for th? conti nuance of these contracts after the restoration of civil author ity, under such rules and regulations as may be adopted by the Legislature of this State will provo satisfactory to all parties. It is recommended that, as far as practicable, in order not to break np their homos for the - present, freedmen to be <>mpioyed by and in ike1contracts with their former masters, and that care be taken to provide, for the maintenance of thc helpless and infirm. This eud will be most easily secured by paying the freedmen for their labor io clothing, food and sholter and medical attendance, aud such additional wages in money as may be agreed upon. Commanding officer at each court house in the Sub-District to act as agent for the Freedmen's Bureau, and to take charge of the making of contracts. Tbis officer, as sociated with two citizens of the Military District, (magistrates, if they can be obtain ed,) will constitute a board under the pro visions of Circular No: 5, from headquarters of the Bureau. In eases where the employ er and freedmen cannot agree upon the terms of tho contract, this board, after a careful ex amin ition of all the facts, '.-. ill fix the terms. The i wo citizens, (members of the board) shall be paid three dollars per day for the time actually engaged in the discharge of their duty-the account to oe certified to by the officer associated with thom and approv ed by the Sub-District Commanding. Tc defray the necessary expenses of these pro ci; edi age, a fee of fifty cents-shall be charg ed and collected for each frc od man so em ployed j in cases where tea or a less number are employ od, if more than ten, twenty-five cents, will bs collected for each additional freedman, so employed. These fees will ba collected by the officer ia charge, and ac counted for to the Sub-Assistant Commis, .ioner. No disbursements by him will be allowed, except the^er diem of the associate members of the board,. upon approved ac counts. A weekly report will be made by , him tothe Sub-Assistant Com missioner, which will be accompanied by a correct copy of all contracts entered into. Sob-Assistant Commissioners will report weekly to these headquarters: the number of contracts made, the number of freedmen con- ' trac ted with, and every other matter of im portance or interest connectai with this busi ness. . They will also, to the full extent of their power, enforce thc faithful performance of the conditions of these contracts. The in terests of freedmen will be carefully gusrded, and their rights in every respect protected, but, at the same time, They must be com pelled to fuifiil their agreement, and, if idle i or vicious, must be punished. No effort should be spared to correct the erroneous impression-.that IWTaiJs among 1 freedmen io regard to a division of land ; ) that it ls net necessary for them to raak? contracts, or they will be permitted to leave \ their present homes, and go in great numbers v to any other part of the country.

No wayfaring man has given us a sy fiable of news from that quarter, nor has any shadow of rumor reached our ears. At latest accounts, it was supposed the Legislature would adjourn on the 15th, or thereabouts; con sequently, our Roprocontotivos wera expected heme at tho close of tho post woek. But none of them have arrived... Thin e.nmrJ??? lUt.^f ??J?. Lion from oar Capital will not continue always however.

Our enterprising fellow-citizen, t.nd most kind and liberal friend, JOHN W. TOMPKINS, Esq , o' Dark Coruur, has sent to us, and our co-luhorer, D. R. DunisoK, Esq., a large and beautifully tanned Corf- Skin, oat of which be bids us both got us a pair ot boots. We will certainly do that very thing, and step so big and high that every urchin will assail us with : "Come out of thom Bo?ts!" Bat before wc submit it to the Shoemak er's knife, wo will koep this Qalf Skin a while for amateurs in the art of tunning to look at. It was tanned in ?ix day* by Price'. Patent for New and and Useful Improvements in Tanning. Porthole said valuable and wonderful improvements Messrs JOHN W. TOMPK?KS and STEPHEN S. TOMPKINS, Executors of JAMES TOMPKINS, doe'd., have ob tained L?ttor<*Putont. These gcntlomcn are now resdy to dispose of State, County, or individual Rights for Tanning by this method, on the most reasonable terms, Thoro is no more profitable business, even after the old manner, than that of Tanning, and with authority to tan on the simple, cheap nnd easy process of Price's Patent, fortunes may be speedily realized. A hint to our wide awake citizens is all that is necessary. We can assure the public that tho method of tanning pursued by the Messrs TowpriNS is no mere new-fangled experiment. It bas beon a perfectly well settled and eminently mccessful thing for more than thrco years. -. DRT GOODB -Those enterprising dry goods merchants, Gray, Mullarky Sc, Co., annotinco large additions ta their already extepsive and well'as sorted stock of goods, which, on account of their ! facilities fer purchasing from first bands, they are prepared to sell at lew pricer.

Notwithstanding the horrible weather, for the rain poured dowri during the entiro day, thcro was on imtnouso host of Hucks to hear Gen. ELY. They were nssstnljkd together from every part of the District. Gen. ELY'S remarks to them wero very decidodly wiso, practical und commendable. Wo Cave not space to report bis-speech in full ; suffice it to say how over that ho most earnestly sought to impress upon the minds of the Freedmen that (hey would under no circumstances receivo a foot of tani from flic Government.. This fact ho iterated and reitomtod. Ho also strove honestly to convineo them that thfy mu^t work, and that they would be -made to Work ; that they had no othor 'earthly [.hope of subsistence but in working. And he further solemnly exhorted and commanded them to return home, and immediately enter into con tracts for service with their lalo owners ; and assured them that after entering into snch con tracts ?he Freedmen's Bureau would compel thom to keep their engagements faithfully and honestly. Gen. Eur's address was in every way calculated to do good. In another column will bc found an important Circular from Gen. E. Negro Equality in Washington. Druid, tho Washington correspondent of.-the York News, cooimunicatcs the following titbit: A new feature is exhibited at this sc?sion. This is tho appearance in the galleries of both houses of large-numbers of negroes and negresses, aud the airs they put on \t a caution. They push therascves into thc ladies' galleries and thrust themselves into the front scat?, and there they Mt for hours. No docent peoplo will *ir. on thc scats behind them or nc?r them, and thus there ii al ways a wide vacant sp&co between them and tho white peoplo.

The complete suppression of all oligarchi cal pretensions, aud the complete enfran chisement of all citizens, so that there shall bc no denial of rights on account of color or race, but justice shall be impartial and all shall be equal before fhe law.

The organization of an educational system for the equal benefit of all, without distinction of color or race. The choice of citizens for office, whether State or national, of constant and undoubted loyalty, whose conduct and conversation give assurance of peace and reconciliation.

The Mississippi House of Representatives have rejected thc amendment to the Federal Con stitution. Grounds : first, it is unnecessary : secondly, they profess to seo in the power con ferjed on Congress by the second clause to enforco the first by "approprulo " legislation, a super fluous grant of authority which may be need to expand the power of the goneral government over tho social affairs of tho States to a dangerous ex tent; and they express tho apprehension that it will bc nsed to legislate thc negroes in the South into social and political equality with the whites. ?Sf It is said that a decided reaction has taken place among tho Republican members of Congrocs in regard to tho exclusion of the Ton 'nesseo members, and that au organized movoment is now on foot to secure their prompt admission. tty Bishop Green, of the Episcopal diocese of Mississippi, publishes a report of tho late council of tho Southern dioceses at Augusta, Ga., and approves of its action, leaving each diocese at liberty to unite with the Northern dioceses or not Ho, however, thinks that they w i fl all ulti mately do so.
