The very last thought that obtruded itself as we were en tering the arms of Morpheus, was that Epting 'knows how to keep a hotel.' A BIG TK:.-Mr. Funlcher paissed throug'h our town Friday last en route to Columbia frgn Gr.eenrillt Tenneuaee, with a wagota and team Ordnmance f the 00vw tin As Court will soon sit, we republish for the benefit of the- legal fraternity, the Ordinance of the late State Convention, the main otject of which, says the Pickens Courier, is to confirm what has been done during the late war. t The fifth section provides a mode for the set tlement of all contracts made between the first day of January 1862, and the 15th day of May 18t0. The value of the %rticle sold or purchased is to r-gulate, in all cases, the price thereof. t How this value is to be ascertained, we know not; but we presume the lawyers will find a remedy. It is important that a few cases arising r under this Ordinance, as well as contracts for ne gro property previously made, should be deter mined by the Courts, so that correct rules may be established by , hich settlements can be made a without resorting in all cases to the law: AN ORDINANCE To Declare in force the Constitution and Laws heretofore in force in this State, and the Acts, official, public and private donle, and ap pointsvents and elections made under au thority of' the same. r We, the People of the State of South Carolina, v by iur Delegates in Convention met, do or-' . dain: - 1.

The Americans that were in Monterey t and San Louis Potosi are now on their way thith er, as we learn from Capt. M. F. Maury. Several Louisianians have lately arrived here, in search ( of new homes for themselves and families. They have thought best to purchase improved laudas tromt priva-te individuals, and have done so, pay- ' ig downt $5,000) in cash, and getting as much deferred pAyments. They hav'e returned to the i United States for their families. t If' the immigration from the States shall be ~ as great as I anticipat-, property of every kind U willgreatly increase in value, and I therefore think that~those who have made up their minds to come to Mexico, should do so at once. The inducements to mechanics to come here arej ( ..er. great. While the natire lbhorer can be Ifi HIGHLY IMPORTANT. The Freedman's Bureau Bill Vetoed. W.ASHINGTON, Feb, uary 19, 1866. The President sent to the Senate his veto of he amendatory Freedmen's Bureau Bill. The 'resident. takes the ground that it is unconstitu ional, and that the appointment of agpn:s in xery country where freedmen and refugees ex st would iipose too much patronage in the ands of the Executive, and would enable him to i e it for the attainment of political ends if he ras so disposed. He expresses the earnest hope hat a question so important to the country will ot become a law unless upon the deliberate con ideration of the people, and that it should re eive the sanction of an enlightened publi - judg a. nit. The House, by a large majority, h as passed esolutious declaring that the rebellion has de irived the people of the South of all civil govern acent, and it becomes the duty of Congress to en ble them to organie State Governments. The 'resident is fully justified in maintaining the uspension of the Habeas Corpus in the Southern tates, and in keeping troops therein for the pro ection of Union citizens and freedmen. Tns SOUTH CAROLINA R.A!L RoAD.-Having ad frequent occasion of late to pass over this ad, we have been most favorably impressed rith the enterprise that has been displayed in its ntire management, and which has thus early laced the whole line in excellent running order. 'lie traveling community cannot but feel great 2A for the accomnuodations that are being extend d to them in the way of new co.ehes, as fast as bev can be completed. In this connection we Cen it but a simple actofjustice to award the ced of praise which is due to the gentlemanly orps of Conductors now engaged on the road lessry. W. D. Kennedy, J. E. Thames and S. H. .. Price. The tiaveling pulic will reco:nize in em persons with whom they were fimiliar in ears past. They are the same obliging and ourteous gentlemen now as then-in facv, they re ever solicitous for the comfort of their pas angers, and.at any time, should anything be miss, it may reasonably be that the fault does ot lie at their door, and is i eyond their imme iate means of correction. They take particular ai 4s to keep their cars cl,-anly, and most earn stly urge the co-operation of the passengers in uis most important matter. The excellent order iaintained on the cars, and the unceasing efforts n the part of the ConduCtors to make all thi:igs grecable, is a constant theme of pr,ise on the art of those who frequent the road. In fact, *e have frequently heard persons froi a distance, ho are constantly traveling, assert that they ave never imet with a more milling disposition a the part of Rail Road Conductors to make assengers comfortable than the have witnessed n the South Carolina Rail Road. We think the o - pany are fortunate in retaining the services f these gentlemen in their important positions. Ve had almost forgotten the corps of young entlemei who are acting as I;ggage Masters or ,ssistant Conductors-Messrs. W. A. Bradley, dw. U. Cudworth and W. Barlow. It would ave beent an act of gross injustice to close this aragraph without awarding to them the praise 'ich their well-known courtesy and obliging isposition has emainently entitled them to. In conclusion we will state that the Company ave in their employ some of the miost competent ngineeis known to the Rail Road service. We egret that we are not in possession of their ames to make this record complete. However, -e will reiterate what we have often heard ex ressed, "that more careful and punc-ual Engin er are not to be fo-md on any rail road in the ,tntr"-the truthfulness of which assertion we elieve the records of the road will fully sustain.

IFTEREsTING TO XEwsPAPERs.-The follow ig circular was issued on the 18th to the tmmandants of military departments: IIEADQ'Rs ARtMIs OF THE Shh. ., Washington, February 1'7 1866.

THE TRUE Poruc.-Let the President issue1 is proclamatiom ann.ouncing that the late re-1 lted States are restored, and demand equal ~presentation under the Constitution. If a ajority of Congress refuse the representation quired, the President should treat them as evolutionists laboring to perpetumate disunion. the Senators who advocated the right of se ssion in the United States Senate in 1861 ren traitors, as declared by Andrew Johnson the time, and deserving of punishment men the present Senators and niemnbers that, istead of restoring, would subjuagate them to rvitude and perpetual separation, are guil of the same crime-treason-and should treated accordingly. A 'little Jackson firm es on the part of the President will set all ght. Let the Union be restored in fact, and e cease our denunciations and proscriptions of e South, our violent expressions ot hatred nd animosity, and remember that the people theSouth,being American .citizens, have both ghts and sensibilities, ancd not disd;in to re ect them, and they will be a cheerful people, ad we will have a Union indeed.

GNERAL BRAGG's RE:PoRT. -The Nashville 'nion and American clos-s, a notice of Gen ragg's official report of the battle of Perryville s llows : Our chief object in making these notices how ver, was TO refer to the manifest unkindness isited upon an eminent man and officer by thist eport. Gen. Hlolk is charged with disobediencel orders, and thus initiating all the disasters to! eexpedition. In view of the fact that the omading General lost the golden opportunity f the enterprise by leaving his position at Green ver, and thereby opening an easy way to Buell > reach Louisville and receive additions to his >rce equal to his whole army at Bowling Green nd in view of the lurthier fact that after leaving tardstown, Gen Bragg instituted a policy of dis ategration, at tihe very moment when concen ration became indispensable to his success, his eble effort to rmake General Polk the scape-goa t f his errors and short comings isno less disgrace d than ungenerous.-This is about all we have say on the subject. The Greenville Mountaineer learns from Ex 'overnor Perry, now in Washington, that there was an under-current at work which wrs crumn lng to pieces the radical party, and they would eparate-that the prospect was decidedly hope .1, and that the Southern memabers would soon e admitted.

"LET ME IN."-Passing by a small busini house the other day, which by the way thou small in its dimensions, does a large busine and the stock or share holders of which are ma in number, and who too we would judge are t principal patrons, we noticed a gentleman on t outside kiocking his heels together, and lust demanding entrance, which apparently was n effected.
