NEWBERRY, S. C. Wednesday Morning, August 29, 1866. Look out for the > mark! Subscription $3 per year-cash in advance. Transient advertisements, obituaries, mark riage notices, &.,-in advance. In a short time we hope to present our readers with a full sized Herald, having made .trrangements for the necessary material which will be here in the course of two or three weeks; and we take occasion to ac knowledge the prompt attention of many of our friends in settling their dues. To the exclusion of our usual variety of 'news and other items, our columns are taken up this week with matters that many of our ,readers have already seen in the daily pa, pers, but to a large majority the documents now published will be read for the first time. The proclamation of President Johnson we :are forced reluctantly to lay over. TaGALAxY.-The September No., of this ex ?cellent fortnightly magazine is already at hand. For choice reading no better magazine than this. Messrs. Duffie & Chapman are agents for it, either by subscription or sale. FRIDAY.-It is hardly inappropriate to again call attention to the invitation of the Bible Society in regard to next Friday havL been set apart as a day of fasting, humili, ation and prayer. Services will be held in the Lutheran Church. GOOD NEws.-The Columbia Carolinian tells us that Bill Morris, the alledged mur, derer of Mr. A. D. Walker, was arrested at Abbeville on Friday. He was found peram bulating the town with two other men, and on being recognized was arrested, and is now in custody. The others made their escape. RAIN.-We chronicle the fall of a fine shower of rain on Thursday last, and again on Monday, while the atmosphere, no longer under the heated term, is pleasant and in vigorating. The rain, though too late for the growing crops, with the exception of potatoes, will enable farmers to attend to the sowing of turnips, for which useful crop we hope abundant efforts will be put forth. SPARTANIBURG & UNION E. R. The Presidents report shows this road to be qunite successful under its many adverse circumstances. It is expected to run to Shel eGn bfj first of September, and in a short time thereafter will commence doing a through business. Total receipts since July 6th $19,530,95, expenditures for running, wages, repairing, etc., $26,08-5,23; d iaarence of expenditures, .$6,554,28. MEETING A'T TRANQUI,. - Tranquil church has been the scene of one of the most cheer ing meetings which have yet taken place in this district. The number of aceessiofls to the church and conversions we have not learned, but they are very many; the atten dance at each days meeting of over one week have been to overflowing, and the laborers have abundant cause to be rejoiced. We learn that the Revs. Trawick, Boyd, father and son, Zimmerman and Humbert were in attendance. We had the pleasure of meeting last week with several Charleston and Columbia friends, some of whom were returning home from successful business tours, others had come up to spend a short respite previous to the approaching business season. Mr. W. E. Scott, the energetic business agent of the Columbia South Carolinian, E. E. Sell, of the well known firm-Lengnick & Sell, and Mr. Epstin,firm of P. Epstin & Co., Charles ton, were returning. Friend Wmn. Miller, of the old established firm of Z. Miller & son, sail,makers, and W. Boag, of Charleston, are enjoying the quiet of country life, for a season. FIRsT SAI,E.-The first bale of new cotton brought to this market is from the plantation of Maj. J. B. Kinard, and was bought by Messrs. Carwile and McCaughrin, on Mons day last, at 27 cents. Its quality was fine; weight 480 pounds. We have been informed by the Major that his success in the working of his freedmen~ is gratifying, and in the whole number of one hundred no case of in - subordination has occurred or any trouble been given him. His crop will not exced a fourth, the deficit being altogether owing to the unfavorable seasons, and not to any bad conduct or working of h is hands. A SUGGESTIO.-The appeal made by our -worthy ex-office post master for aid, we regret -tosay has been but. feebly responded to. His friends are willing to help him, and some have done so, but the aid rendered is as a drop in the bucket. He is not the only one called upon to Spay for post office property, long since returned. To pay these claims now will bring many worthy mnen to ruin. What is to be done? Individual help has been called far in vain. The Idea has leen suggested that the State through the Legis lature might perhaps come to their assistanlCO, and we cheerfully extend this suggestion in hope 4hat some thing may be done for them all. Will the Legislature favor this idea. What says the V ress? REvIVALs.-It is gratifying to hear of the outspouring of the gracious spirit, which has taken place at Chauga, Coneross, Secona and South Union Baptist chuches, in this District. Seventy-two persons have been baptized, at Chauga, sixty at Coneross, thirty at Secona, and twenty%five at South Union. [Keowee Courier. Gov. Orr will convene the Legislature in extra seson on tha 4th Sentemher. New Advertisements. Attention is called to following notices of new advertisements: Dealers in Millinery, Ribbons and Straw Goods will notice the card of Messrs. Arm. strong, Cator & Co., of Baltimore, whose Stock is unsurpassed either for variety or cheapness. Merchants visiting Baltimore would do well to call at 237 Baltimore Street. Planters and others will be pleased to learn that Carwile & McCaughrin are prepared to make advances on cotton consigned either to G. W. Williams, & Co., Charleston, or to Williams, Taylor & Co., New York. An enterprising man has an opportunity now of making a good thing either by leas ing or renting the Shiver house of Columbia; See Shiver's notice. Messrs.

Thomas, Lieutenant. .Tot long since such a company was organ ized in Newberry. Where is it now? echo answers, where. For six weeks not a drop of rain has fallen on the city of Chattanooga, and during all the time the thermometer has ranged during the middle of the day, from 92 to 102 degrees. The telegraph announces that the Freed men's Bureau will cease to issue rations on the first of October, except to hospitals and orphan asylums. Two sisters lately met in Baltimocre after forty eight years' separation. They talked thirty six hours and were still talking at last accounts. The drug store of Dr. Parker at Abbeville, was broken into on Tuesday night last and a few articles of small value abstracted. The Unionville Times notices a good shower of rain on Thursday, and has no doubt turnip seed will be in good demand. Peace has been concluded between Prussia on the one hand, and Bavaria and Hesse on the other. In Augusta the first bale of new cotton has been sold at 50 cents per pound. - SPECIAL NOTICES.

PROCLAMATION, By His Excellency James L. Orr, Governor and Commander-in-Chief, in and over the State aforesaid. Whereas, it is necessary that the laws of this State with reference to persons of color, should be materially modified and that the Courts for their enforcement, should be re organized, so that jurisdiction in all cases, civil and criminal may be exercised by the Courts and under the Statutes of this State, and the same cannot be effected otherwise than through the General Assembly. And whereas other grave and important matters growing out of the long continued drought in many parts of the State, threat ening great privation, if not starvation, for the want of food, renders it necessary that the General Assembly of this State should be convened.

Orr, Gov ernor and Commander in Chief in and over the State aforesaid deeming it a duty im posed on the Executive by the constitution in such cases to convene the General As. sembly of the State of South Carolina, do hereby convene the General Assembly and summons tbe members of the Senate and Blouse of Representatives to meet in their respective halls at Columbia on Tuesday the (4th) fourth day of September at 8 o'clock p. m. to consider such matters as may then and there be submitted, and pass such Laws as in their wisdom may be consid ered to the interest and welfare of the State.. In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the great Seal of the State to be affixed at Columbia the 22d day of August, in the year of our Lord, eighteen hundred and sixty-six, and in the ninety-first year of the Independence of the United States of America.
