A Happy New Year. With this, the first No. of a r.e vol unie, the lcraild gives greeting of a hap py new year to its numerous readers. To those who have stood, shoulder to shoulder, by us from the beginning to the end of the :ear just closed, and have sustained us both by kind sympathy and a material aid, we feel very grateful, as well as to those who have but lately ranged themelves under our banner. We would have them all, and as many more as possible, to travel with us an other year's journey. The Herald has had its troubles and difficulties in com mon with its readers, the political and social horizon has been and still is, ob scured by dark and thre&'ening clouds, but let us all feel that there is "sunshine as well as clouds," and put on a stiff upper lip. Never say die! Hoping dear read ers that we may still be "right side up' in January 'CS, we wish you a Happy New Year! Our New Volune. The present is the first No. of the new volume for 1807, and the reader who is not already a subscriber will be reminded that now is the time to subscribe-the beginning of the year as well as of a new volume. A reminder is also given to the reader whose time if not already expired will soon expire, to be punctual n renewing with the cash. It takes a co.: sideraile amount of cash subscriptions to bear us through with the publication of our paper comfortably and with satisfaction, and when so many lag be hind as has been the ca<e in the past year we are necess-arily more or less crippled. We trust therefore that our books for the present year will exhibit a healthier condition, both in z1umber and in quality. Don't wait reader for dun, or cross mark, or anything of that sort, but pay up your back dues, and renew with the cash, and now is the time. The Galaxy. The January 1st No. of this welcome visitor is at hand. The present No. in point of typographical execution is far ahead of its predecessors, and we are pleased to see it in a new and much neater title cover ; the old one did not suit our fancy at all, but the literary excellence cf its inside made ample amends for any fault of the outside. We commend the Galaixy to all lovers of good reading. Subscribe for it either of the publishers, Messrs. W. C. & F. P. Church, 39 Park Row, N. Y., or of Messrs. D)uffie & Chapman, Newberry. The Legi'slature. Tn our last issue we alluded to the adl jourmunent of the Legislature, and the amount of work which had been done by that body. Upon examining the list of acts passed. (ninety-seven in number,) we are surprised to find so small a num ber of them o'any general in:terest. A cts of Incorporati,m, or amending former corporations preponderate in this list. Local Legislationt seems to have been the chief occupation, while measures of great and general public interest have been ig nored or rejected. The propositions for the relief of the people were all defeated. The Courts are now to have their r-egu !ar course, and wvoe to unhappy debtors. With heavy taxes to pay in addition to their own liabilities, they are between "the upper and nether mill stones." The Governor re-conimnmed the abo!i tion of imprisonmont for debt, an ame-nd. mnent of the insolvent law, so as to dis charge debtors from their debts, upon making a full surrender of their pro;orty and effects, also a homestead law, all of which were defeated by a small majority. It is very stange, thnat, while our coter minus States, North Caroina and Ga., have both enacted laws, which are now of force, for the relief of the people, our Legislatujre should do nothing on the subect. Arc our people in a bc tter con dition than the people of those States y D)id they make greater sacrifices during the war, or lose a larger amount of prop erty by its results? ,We have always be lieved to the contrary. A fearful responsibility rests upon those, who, in the face of all the cir-cum stances which surround us, have brought the people to so sudden a reckoning. Overwhelmed by embarrassments brought upon them by no faunt or act of their own, except an honest adherence to what they believed to be right, and obe d ience to thme demni: ds of the Govern - ment, they are now at 'ince called upon to pay their debts, even though it takes their last farthing and turns thenm an-I their f:unilies out of doors. A little time to recover their losses, a little br-eathing spell, after the stoi-m of wvar had passed, spreading desolation on every hand, was al the people asked. This has been denied them, and they n' ill have a reckon ing with those who have thus brought still (lecher distress upon them. We are glad to know that our own Representa tives can render a good account of their LOCAL ITEMS. RuaoR.-It is rumored currently on the street, and we believe that the rumor may be relied on, that one of the candidates for Sheriff, but whici one is not positively as certained as yet, was on yesterday elected to that very desirable and honorable position. As soon-as the fact is established as to who the fortunate individual is we will make it known. APoLoGY.-Our readers;must excuse the appearance of the Ilerald this week, its print is dingy, and l,ok: as if it had not recovered from the dbsi :i+ion of Christmas. The causes are many: intense cold, immense snow, unusual quantity of nog~levil obstrep erous, from the fact of having had a (lime presented to him, pre-sm:I choked on a turkey bone, foreman in swampo, and all hands generally knocked into pie. We hope by the "Middle of r xt wei' to be all "setting up again." Messrs. W IsKEMAN & WILnER-Have laid us under obligation by a Christmas and New Year's treat, such as is seldom enjoyed by the press gang. It is not the first time either that we have been so substantially and handsomely remembered by them. It is not our purpose to mention what the present consisted of, for the express reason that perhaps some one else contemplating a new year's token to us might be in despair in not being able to do so as nicely. Any one locking over their stock of goods will be surprised to cee the variety of good things in the family grocery line so profuse ly displayed by them. We advise the public to call and be convinced, and if they go not away satisfied, then write us down no judge of what is good to eat. Christmas week was a lively one here abouts. The Thnder of artillery and the rattle of musketry-alias fire crackers, rocks ets, squibs, etc., was tremenjous. Dollars and cents worth of which were burnt by the boys in immense glee. The boys brought out an old six pounder that used to boom upon the ear during the days of the Confed eracy. Her roar was terrific enough to smash near $50 00 worth of glass out of Messrs. W. & W's fine show windows. The freedmen visited town in immense numbers, crowded the streets and spent lots of small change. They behaved generally well. An immense fandango was given by a popular sable Knight, which lasted, in a jam, for 3 consecutive nights and day's, whiskey awl pig, tobacco and ginger bread, etc , circulating freely. Our. Tows.-Our venerable friend, the Charleston Mercury, in noticing a little Buncomhe from Sumter, says "Blessed is he that bloweth his own trumpet, for, verily, then shall his trumpet be blow-ed," which must be io, for having been born again, he ought to know. Upon the strength of such good authority we can safely blow our town trumpet, and say that onr dear town of Newberry is second to none in prosperity. Her business is largely on the increase from former years, and the town' improving in every other respect. New buildings are rapidly going up, new stores and new firms constantly being proclaimed through the columns of the Herald, while there is no limit to the quantity of goods, wares and merchandize in store. One glance in the streets at the innumerable wagons which block up every avenue would alone convince the skeptical that Newberry is a town of some considerable pumpkins, cert*inly next to Charlestotn nnd Columbia in mercantile importance. - SThe Weather, During thme early holidays was bitter cold, the therinomneter ranging from 25 to 30 deg. on Saturday afternoon last it culminated in a heavy fall.of snow, which con:inued nearly all night, covering the earth to un average depth of five inches. On Sunday morning the scene was indeed charming, all external things being covered by the beautiful sub stance, rendering the perspective exceeding ly picturesque. In some places everything merging, with a slight difference of shade, into one vast ocean of snow. The programme for the day consists ofsleighing,snow-balling, rabbIt hunting and sparrow catching, &c. Masonic 21iections. At a regular meeting of Amity Lodge, No. 87, A . F.

Rv T H Edwards of S C Conference, to Miss arrie M Kilgore, of Newberry. OBIT UARY. Died, November 27th, at Lake City, lorida. Mr. ALBERT MIOT. in the thitty xth year of his age; a native of Charleston, , C., but for several years past a citizen of his State. Raised under the religious instructions of a ious mother, Mr. Miot was from his earliest ears of unblemished moral character. It as not until within the last five years that e was led to feel the importance of personal eligion; but for several years he had en, >yed the comfortable hope that he had been orn of the Spirit. Only about two weeks revious to his death did he make a public rofession of religion, by un iting with the resbyterian Church at this place. Although in very delicate health at that time, yet his eath was not expected so soon. But the ummons did not find him unprepared or ause alarm. IIis faith w.is in the merits of a rucifled Redeemer, and his hope strong, ecause built upon the righteonsness of a iivmne Saviour. IHence, without a fear, he rould look beyond the grave, feeling that ror him all was joy and peace. Truly his Y HERALD BINTING 'ICE. ;eitne55 and Ue$patcli. T. F. & E. H. Greneker.
