A February Face in April. The beautiful and genial weather of the past ten days ls gone, and lovely April has had tho bud taste to put on tho mask of frowultfg Februa ry. At present, it is full of frost, and' storm and cloudiness. Man and beast and the kindly fruits of tho earth are all in a fair way of being blighted. Let us try not to murmur. The shadow, as well as the sunshine, is undoubtedly an unavoidable part of our portion in this life. Two Radical Triumphs. As will be seen by referring to our nows columns, tho President's veto of the Civil Rights Dill hs? been overridden in the Senate; and thc Republi cans Lave parried tho day in Connecticut. There is but little doubt that tho next pupers will bring us thc news that tho late veto has also beon over ridden in tho House Much might hu said in the etfurt to prove that neither of these successes is a very decided or available Radical triumph ; but we, who aro nt suth a d'stanco from Washington, had best not attempt to unravel tho tangled and ever-tangling web of national affairs. Judging from the present prospect, we lear it .viii be long beforo the tangle is unraveled to thc aJvautage of tho South. Completion of the Augusta lirnnch of the S. C. Railroad.

The Peace Proclamation. While Congress seems determined to dostroy tho country, ANDnew JOHNSON seems determined to savo it.

We publish this week, the long-talked-of and lonj'-hoprd.for Peace Proclamation of ANDREW JOHNSON. In the Proamble to thia Proclamation, ho says : " standing armies, military occupation, martial hw, military tribunal.', and the suspen sion of the privilege of the writ of hnhr.n* corpa?, aro, ia time of peace,- dangerous to tho publie interest, and iucom'patiblo with the individual rights of cituons, and contrary to the geniu; and spirit of our free institutions, and an exhaustion of the national resource?, and ought not, tharo fore, to bo sanctioned or allowed, txeept in cuse of war, for repelling Invaders or suppressing in surrection or rebellion."

Tho inference,.howover, can of course bo none other than that all those things which are io " dangerous to tho public interest," ave to be no longer " functioned or allowed."

Tho President to-day transmitted to Con gress a communication from- the Secretary of tho Treasury and Postmaster General, sug gesting a modification of the test oath. They show thc great importance of Buch legisla tion both in a pecuniary and harmonizing point of view. The ^resident earnestly commends the subject to tho carly conside ration of Congress. It was referred lo the Committee on the Judiciary. In the Seilate, Mr. Lane, of Kansas, offered a r?solu lion br the admission ol'the Southern States to representation on condition of repu diating tho Confederate debt and eu lorsing the Federal debt, and annulling ordinances ol secession, tond granting tho right of suffrage to colored persons who pay fax on two hun dred and fifty dollars' worth of property,-and can read and write. He spoke of thc neces sity of immediate action on the eubject of re construction to save the Republ'can party. -The veto message was taken up, and some sharp conversation ensued between Lane and Meade. The former endorsed tho Preside: with great vigor. The discussion created considerable sensation. Further debate en sued at six o'clock, but no vote was taken. Tbo House unseated Brooks of New York, and voted in his contestant, Dodge. LATEK.-The Senate passe'd the Civil Rights bill over the vetOj by a vote of thirty-three tc fifteen. * WASHINGTON, March 7. The'passage of the Civil Rights bill ovei tho President's veto was hailed yesterday with uproarious demonstrations of delight by the Republicans present. When Morgan an nounced the rote he was greeted witb ap plause and congratulations by many Senators and members of the House. Willey, of West Virginia, voted iu favor. The New Jersey Legislature adjourned without electing a Senator iu the place ol Stockton. Gen. Semmes was released yesterday after noon, by order of the President, on his origi nal parole given uoder the terms of the John son-Sherman convention. He left tho marine barracks for Baltimore in the evening train. A Republican Senator remarked to-day that he was well assured a proclamation of universal amnesty will soon be issued. Yesterday a large number of post offices were re-opened in Soutn Carolina, North Carolina, Louisiana and Toxas. The House Committee on Freedmen's Af fairs considered a new bill this evening. There is a prospect of an attempt to pass it through the House. Some months ago Bowles, Millagan and Horsey, civilians, were tried by a Military Commission on a charge of conspiracy, and convicted. They were sentenced to be hung, but President Johrson commuted their sen tooee to imprisonment for life. The case has been brought up b 'fore the United States Supreme Court, which tribunal to day decided they ought to be discharged from custody, and that a Military Commission iiad no legal [ jurisdiction to try tuena. ? ? ?

It is a relief to be thus restored (partially) to the management of OE? own affairs', and to feel that we are no longer to be under the immediate supervision of federal soldiers. We hope our people will have no occasion to apply to the authorities at Cheraw fur any hind ol relief, and that we can satisfy them of our ability and disposi tion to act justly and properly towards the freedmen* and each other.- Beunettsville Journal. ?SC General Dick Taylor, bretber-in-law of Jeff.

Tho Angel of Death hus darkened with the shadow of bis wings, tho home of a fond and faithful husband. The partner of his bosom, after a lingering illness, which was borne with the marked fortitude characteristic of tho true Chris tian, bas yielded up hor lifo into the hands of God who gave it. In evory position and circum stance of lifo, MAKIUA BROADWATER was the willing child of duty-discharging tho relativo obligations of daughter, wife, sister,,with scrupu lous fidelity. Death, which is laid to como like a thief in the night, did not find her unprepared. For years sho had been a communicant of the Baptist Church, illustrating her faith in God by the calm resignation with which she mot the trials incident to a life in this world. She leaves a young and sorrowing husband, an aged father and mothar, and numerous near and dear rotativos, to say nothing of many warm friends, to mourn their irreparable loss, which, . it is hopod, is hor eternal grin. She now sleeps the sleep that knows no waking. Of your charity, Christians, pray that she may enjoy eternal roposo. A FRIEND.

Oh, weary was our parting ! Wo have no Georgia now. ; I see tho pale moon shining, On Georgia's white head stone ; Tho rose bush round it twining, Is hore, like me, alone; And, just like mo, is weeping Thoso dow drops from the bough; i So long has she been sleeping, i We havo no Georgia now! My heart is ever lonely, My life is drear and sad, < 'Twas hard to part thus from her, i On earth to moot no more.
