It is said they rtti dezvoused.hore with tho expectation of hearing a speech from somo ofiicor or agent of tho Govera mont. No such speech took placo ; no such speech was to have taken place. Wo hear that at other places in our State, orders have bcon iisucd and published, emanating from tho Froodmons Bu reau, that all freedmen found uuemployed and wi tb oat a situation on the 15th of January, shall be taken up as vagrants, and put to hard labor. No such order has been issued in Edgefiold. The negroes -vita whom we conversed on Monday, HOBIE ed still unwilling to enter iuto contracts-ex cept for most ridiculously exorbitant wage/. This will not continue; very shortly indeed, they will bcc?mo'ts moderate in thoir demands us the are now immoderate. Very rapidly nrc they begin ning to realizo and expre>3 the truth that their former owners-and not tbj) Yankee*-aro their only friends.

Ring out the 01d> King in the New." Tho old yoar wont out weoping most pitoousiy ; and well might it weep, for it was a year of sor row and suffering, sadness and humiliation. Thc retrospect of the twelve months whoso last day rolled away amid the silence of the night just past, to join the voiocless centurie?, is full of sad and bitter memories. But wo will not dwell upon this painful subject. The pust is behind us ; it is gone with the vanishing yoars.. Lot us dismi^c it-if not without regret, at least without useless repining. And lot us with unblanched ched* and steady nerve, and stout heart, contemplate the futuro before us. At such a time as this, ne rions thought well becomes us; when tho yea that has scarcely faded into memory recalls th memory of al! the yoars that are past, with their long catalogas of hours wasted, of opportunities neglected, of meroies abused, of judgments de spised, of duties omitted, of offences perpetrated of hope? pitilessly blasted, af noble friends vainly sacrificed, of property forever yene-and for naught. M cy wo not wisely pause on the titres hold of the new year, tearful, awod, penitent, trustful seeking tho aids of grace that wo may improve to the uttermost what remains of " our appointed timo " en tho earth ? But in all this, let there be no vain and unman'y repining. We have too much to do to bo shedding useless tears over the dead past. Our Sta'e is sadly mutilated, but that which remains of hor is worthy of all our energy and labor to mako blcom aud blossom again. Her labor system disarranged, her farms wasted and destroyed, her lands uncultivated, ber ?ons gloomy and her daughters rad ; here ia work .jpongh for every true man of South Carolina and every tree man should be up and at work, leav ing nothing undone to make South Carolina oi.oe again the home of happiness and prosperity. And amid all, let us never forget to keep green the graves of that host of noble friends so vainly sacrificed. And should no marble bs permitted to mark their last resting place, let us ever re member that " They leavo a nobler monument than Egypt Hath piled irt her brick mountain?, o'er dtad kings." The new year has come! We welcome it un feignedly, whate'or it be the bearer of. God grant ns holp to resist whatever of temptation, to overcome whatever of evil, to bear whatever of trial, and to po-form whatevor of toil or of du ty it may bring us 1 "Bing out tho old, ring in the new, Ring, happy bells, aero?* the mow : The year is going, let him go ; Ring out the false, ring in the true." * Something abcut an Old and Honored Friend. We take the utmost pleasure in calling atten tion to tho advertisement of PKCOTTES ?SALAS in another column ; and also to the subjoiuid notice of this Firm? copied from the Constitutionalist.

Our Lcgi.-laturo nt its laira sossion, passed a very ?lab?rate Codo of Laws rar tho government and protection of the Froe Negroes* of the State of South Curolina-cr "Pers?oji of Color," by which titlo tho Act declares.they^ball hereafter bo knawn. Wc confess hc-worc; thaine infiuitv?y prefer thc former pbreee-for good anj? material", reusens.: but for equably gbpd r?asoos, vwj^cbV?! di*pu??i-,ug lite pfintht tLLs limo. . 1 The laws ci>mprisedio t'nii code ore fl r resent of no flrce, tbe officers of the Frecduteiie' JJuresii being still the managers, or mis-mam<g"rs, of ne gro affairs in our Sta'o. And who'.b-. r th?y will ever become of foreo ts a matter of viry seiiuua doubt. There is a party at tbe North, and a vciy strong one, that aims at the spurious exaltation j of tbe freedmen at tba expense of the* while peo ple of thc South; and ono of the leading doc trines of thia party is that the negro must not bo degraded or insulted by being even admonished to work. This party encourages the strougwt antagonism between tho whites and blacks of the South, an antagonism, which, if the negro-lovers aro allowed to have their way much longer, will increase until wo sh'a'l reap such a harvest of misery and social disorder at people are now ex po: Kneing in the Wost Indies. But the?? laws ought to go into force and operation immediately; for, as has been wisely said of late, the "groat problem of kepiug tic tioo fuer? together *.t tte? South OD tctuis which shall ho mutually advan tageou.*, mutt Lo solved at the Sviith-in t'?<e local Soulhern Legislatures', uod in th? local curls ol justice. Evory feather's woijjbt of prcsrure from without will most surely produce a reaction in the iii iuds of tbe better disposed of the .. niploycrs nt thc S Wtb; Aud uolbing ljj:ft the go-called phi la-ithropy of th?

Late occurrences in tho Wast In dia1: provo cJLo'uj'yiJy, even if the fact had Lot boon 'clearly proved very many yoars ?g ', that th* j black man must hare a * iron J white Government and a numerous white population to control him. Otherwise he is not .-npablo ot living a2 a respecta ble member of society. Ia this weck'j A?itrljt+r \re publish half o? .he said Code-tb"Se parti *hich our reader. Kill be wost anxious to study ti rat. 'JhU Codo upon 'he who|c i? well iiiou'h; in fact is wise u&d wolf prepared, j." berti ace soma'providions of it, however, irhich we think hi^h;^ objectionable, ?.ni which at a proper lime, should that ever ar rive, wv shall bring to the notice of tba public Suould a froo Legislature ever agaiu meet in South C?rulinn, wa trust tho?/* objectionable por tions moy be repealed. Tho Code is divided into three distinct acts. Tho first is " An Act to o mem} tb? Criminal Law." The prut isions of this act aro vi ry full and am ple, and, in our upi:.ion, wiso and judicious. In none of its provisions is lt obnoxious to tbs chnrge ot cruelly ; in this rexpect lt compares most f?run;bly with lb? criminal law of England. Tho penalty of death is aroioxed to but few crimes, and those always of tb? mott heinous charaetor. The most ?bid abolitionist cannot object to the criminal law of this code. The next is ?"An Aet to establish District Courts." Thtsu Courts are to be presided over by District Judges, whose salaries vary from $500 to$l5U0. These Judges have jurisdiction orer all oriminal causes where ono of tao parties is a free Degro, including Felony without benefit of slergy; and all cases of oontr&ct not exceeding $100. We opino that iboro will be much rotation iu these judicial offices; for no Judgo who dis cburges the dutios imposed upon him by this Aot will ever grow gray upon the Bench. We enter tam some gravo misgivings as to whether this on tire system of Di?trie t Courts for the accommoda tion of "persons of color" is not a dangorous mii-age: doubt if "tbe play bo worth tho caudle." Tbcso Courts, counting tba expense, the time and labor, will cfrst tb? people of South Carolina at least a half million of dollars par annum; and I this, wc aro disposed to think is more than oil J tho "persons of color" ia tho Stato are worth. We do not altogether believe that tho machino will work, but these '?persons of color" must be managed and governod Su some way or other, and we arc anxious to see this first experiment tried. The third Act, the ono wo publish to-day, is to establish and regulate tho domostie relations of persons of color, and to ?mond the Law in rela tion to Paupers and Vagrancy. The first part of this Act treats of marriage among "persins of color." If we were ditposed to be merry at the expense of our sabto friend;, thora is abundant food for such merriment in this Aot. The Act 'provides that on tho 1st of April next, e. geuural reformation of morals shall take place among .'.pur.ons of color" in South Carolina: and that poligamy ?u?il be scourged out of thc land " ac cording to tho oct io fticb c*?e made and provided." Wo trust taut this offering npoo tho a'tar of ehostity will bo made in "opon court," and iu the presence of civilized man; as it will ever shine as tbe krighleii page in thc history of legal reforma tion. But when th? sons of U?m give up their dozen wires, tbon truly will tho day have arrived when "the Ethiopian shall change tis ?kip, Ac." This Aet indeed supersedes the necessity of all .he rest of the cede; for wheo enforced, we shall have BO more "colored pwsons" among us. But ts the said Act it before our readers, we will leave them U judge of. it? prorisi??ns tbeuiselres. }Iost of its section? seem wh>? ai:d jndicious, but il? j LXV clause, i* undoubtedly the us?*t practical .' indeed it is worth all the tatt of the code. It provides thal: "If the master d?Aftt the return of the servant, wVo has run away, and H!!IO has been decided.sty.the Court to hare departed with out sufficient cause, the serrant may bo compelled by jine und corporal punUhinent to return to the lerriee of the master and perform bis duties un der the contract The laws of this Code may seem to some not to givo tho negro any Tcry great freedom ; in our opinion it fives him nitbar too mueb. Freedom from leisg sold on ibo block 4hd f.sparated from his wife and children is all tho frcodora he ought to have-all that it is safo for him to have-all that he is capable of enjoying without relapsing iu to barbarism. Give bim too much independence', and be will most surely-as past and present his tory teaches us-resume the barbarous lift* and fierce habits of bis African ancestors. We will publish the rcmaindor of the Codo next ?reek. The Currency. Tho National intelligencer, ef tho 9th, savs tho fear of anything like a sndden contraction is dis sipated. It will necessarily bo a slow sad eau tious process whereby tho volumo of enrrsncy, which, in July next, will be between soren and eight huedred millions, can be sensibly rodueed, to say nothing of a resumption of ipecio 'pay ments. The evil apprehended from a contraction is i"ho wn by tho Secretary to bo imaginary. A reduction of tho currency will not diminish its supply for tho wants of legitimate business, while a farther expansion of it would, aa all p?st experionco prores, render lt scarcer, cnlaiice pricos, augment the rate of . interest, demoralize industry, and paralyse production. The Secreta ry anticipates a further rise of prices-anooeua ry consequence of inflation. If tboy are no w in excess of tho rates of Juno,. 1804, when gold was 250, tboy may riso twenty or thirty por cen by noxt July. Evory one knows that pri?es arc ad vancing, and will continuo *to advance till either a col Isp so shall ensuo or the work of contrae tic n be earnestly and practically commenced.

Suck a notion-wo do nwt dignify it with tho tillo uf opinion or oonrietion-is grovel ing, unmanly, uncivilised, almost brutal. Why expend so much money ia costly finery for young girl?, and then fay you aie unable to educate them ? Wc hare sc i and heard so much of this lately, that wc arc inexpressibly shocked, and cannot holp speaking plainly and in plain word?. The idea of stepping boya ?nd girls from school at tko age of sixteen, when they cannot spell a. word in the English language correctly, an3 are ignorant that Georgia is the sister State! Tho procent condition of things as to drossing and education, remind? us every <l?y of a proverb of tho "so called" Billings Tinnily: "If you cant ;it lino cli.the?, und oddicat:on too, git the clothes fuft." It is a homely sentence, but full of truth, meaning nu ii applicability. For God'? sake, let al! this sort of thing bo done away with ; it is' fearfully wrong, it |g ruinous, iti? degrading.

In our town, at prcrcnt, we bavo a malo school under the charge of that pii vts, popular and ac ttoiup?shcd gentleman, Rev. LuTfl?? lt.

We most earnestly hope that thoso, our own school*, will be patronized as becoms a liberal and enlightened people. Fearful State of Affairs in Augusta. Murder, rebbory, and crime generally, seem to be holding high carnival in our neighboring city of Augusta. Scarcely do we over pick up an -Augusta paper which does not contain an account .of seme horrible affair lately perpetrated,-jot a little duiurbar.ee, cr an unimportant theft, but a bald and heinous outrage. Tho Cotutituiioaah'it of Wednesday last, recites no less than three of j these chocking occurrences. In one cate, Mr. iiiiC.vn Cav.uisUitpL, one ofthe moBt respectable young gentleman of Augusta, wa* fejndishly mur dered in his store, near the city, and the store thoroughly and cumpijtoly pillaged. This took place at night and after Mr. C. had retired to bed. la :,t?othor oaso, a mob of negroes and negro soldiers, armed and infuriated., bescigod the house* j of Mr. Jas. RnrxoLna, and, had ic not beep for the timely arrival of a body of polico, would ha?e destroyed (he house and saenfioed the unoffend ing inmate*. In ?lill another case, a printing ojftee was cn-^ tered aud partly robbed. Very shortly before those oronls, tho hoaso of Mr. S rovA-Lg. was f n-l| tored early in the eveuing, and A largo quantity of j very valuable silver stolon. A colored boy who attempted to stop the robber?, was shot and killed. Breaking into and robbing stores is literally an almost nightly oteurrenco. \\Why and wherefore crime provaili so glaring ly in Augusta, uud whyjind wherefore more sum mary measures aro not taken to suppress it, we are at a less to say. \'/* are inclinod, however, ti attribute this intense dtnjoruli?&t?o- to the presence of nogro troops. Whcrovcr they are, j that place is deeply and damnably accursad. The contagion of their influtuce extends not only to persons of their own color, but also to many whito r, but al people, who '-re while only as regards their skin Is There Single Blessedness ?

Their hearts, God knows! mock nt tba hollow falsehood, and wo need not surely desire to deooivo ourselves with tho imposition. We agree with Robert Southey, that a man (er a woman) may be cheer ful and contented in celibacy, but he can never be happy. It is an unnatural state, and the best feoliugs of his nature are never called into action. Lot the married, therefore, whatever their domes tie griefs, consolo themtolros with their superior resources for oommon felicity.

A. well directed ?hot from a winnow, however, brongh t down oue of the party, and checked the move ments of the balance. The wounded .n<-gro was taken up by lys companions and carried to the Arsenal, in a little while a large party returned to the house. . In.the meantime, a son of Mrs. Freeman, and-two oilier gentlemen, who fortunately happened to be in the house, made prepara . tiona to givo any ?ffc'wbo might attempt any dcoda of violence a warm reception. Thc lawless wretches as soon as they st rived made a regular attack upon tho house, aud succeeded in breaking down tho door. The family retreated to an upper story. The negroes the?, commenced a regular raid on the furniture, tit'tbe same time using the most violeut and obscene language. They entered the parlor and broke in pieces the piano, and other furniture and articles ol value. Having done all tho injury in thoir power in this part of the building, they returned to tbs ball, and endeavored to ascend tho Stairs to the room where Mrs. F. and family had taken refuge. A well aimed bullet from Mr. Freeman's pistol finished the career of crime of the negro in advance. . Nothing daunted another villian followed in the footsteps of the first one and met the same just fare. En raged at being thus foiled, two more rushed up the stairs-only to increase the heap ol' carcases on the boor. Both foll under the firo of Mr. F. and his friend?. By this time an ofh'c?r arrived from the arseual, and put an end'to tho proceedings He immediately ordered the remaining sol diers back to the arsenal, where they were immediately put under arrest. His arrival at the scene of action was indeed a fortunate occurrence, for the negroes had torches, an might in their fury and desire for reveng have destroyed both the house and inmates by fire. Weare told three of thc negroes were badly wouuded-aside from the four wk were killed.-Chronicle k Seiit??eJ. 30th. B&F Items from.the Chronicle dc Sentinel, of Saturday : WHEN WILL IT STOP.-We are informed that several horses have been stolen from residents of Hamburg within the last two or tbreo days. Horse stealing is becoming al together too frequent, and we hope something may be done to stop it. NEW SECRETARY OF WAR.-It is rumored that Mr. Stanton has resigned the Secreta ry-ship of war, and that Gen. Steedinan, Commanding Department of Georgia, would be appointed in his place. ANOTHER GOOD MOVEMENT.-We notice by the Macon Journal that an Agent of the Freedmen's Bureau has been engaged for the past few days in taking the census of the negroes in that city, their employment, mode of living, &c., for t?e purpo.se, we understand, of finding out all who are not. legitimately employed, and sending them to some sections that are ia need of labor. This is decidedly, a good movement, and if carried out to the letter in all cities, will, doubtless, relievt them of a great deal of mischief, which in committed by vagrants who have no honest Way of making a living. ONE WAY TO KEEP THEM FKOM MISCHIEF. We notice by the Savannah papers that here after in that city, thc vagrant and vicious freedmen who are brought up for trial for any offence and are unable to pay tho tim inflicted upon them, are to be placed at work oh the streets. This will not only have thc effect of defer ring others from crime-for they have a sin gular prejudice against manual labor of ubis .sort-but will do much toward? putting streets in good order. Anything to keep the ?dla at work-for while at work they cannot be carrying out their thieving mischievous plans. ONE THING NEEDED.-An increase nf the number of mechanics in our city is a thing which is greatly needed. A more promising field for enterprising, energetic mechanics was never presented, than is now offered hy Augusta. Industrious and reliable meehm ics make thriving population for any city ; and if we can only get a sufficient number of them started in business in our midst, wc will som sec, all arouud us, evidence* of prosperity. " -? ? ? ENCOUNTER WITH A PANTHER.-A young mau named Hill, of South Granville, Wash ington county, New York, had a singular en counter with a panther thc other day while hunting for squirrels. His dog began bark ing at the mouth of a cave, and came out of thc opening bleeding,,as ii having had a tus sle with some animal. Hill determined to :< see it out1'-so he procured a lantern and axe, and entered the cave. For fifteen feet he had to crawl. Then bc was able to stand up. He proceeded fifty feet further, when bc saw the ryes of an animal glaring ut bim. Hill poked tbe gun, which thc stranger seized in his mouth; he fired; the animal nude a rush, bot a blow with the hatched finished him. The question then was to get kim out. Dragging was practicable until he got to the narrow spot, when he had to caji for help, and it required five or six to pull the captor j and captive to tbe open air. It proved, to ! the great astonishment ' of Mr. Hill, to bo a panther six feet long. ?27~ Cotton, it is said, can bo cultivated in California at a cont of fivocenti apounJ.
