Neither the cry of faction, the contumely and reproach ofaLhe corrupt and selfish, the threats of impeachment hanging in terrorem, nor the offer of immense pat. ranage and power, can swe;ve him. MI-. Johnson -thus far, has proven to the world-that be shirks not .responsibility, and cannot be intimidated. History can show no preeedent. A cotemporary dray' s the followm~g paral 1.1: "The conspirators who near the foos of Pompey's statute ttrust their dag get's to the heart of the ambitious Caosar, thus puihished him for too ready an ac ceptance of the purple of royalty. But Congress proposes to immolate the Pres ident because be will not become, with bis five brigadier subordinates, a despot The Situation. The following views of "the situation" we take from the Yorkville Enquirer. It g; ..:t in a nutshell, and coincides near ly with the press generally. One thing is certain, the Radical party will carry out their ends, and the policy decided upon, no matter what the course of the South. The immediate effect of the Military Bill is to make our present State govern ment provisional, and as such, subject to alteration by Congress. In addition, a brigadier-general will soon be sent here, who will become in fact, the executive officer of the State, and it will be in his power to suspend or allow the working of civil tribunals. But without his consent, the decisions of courts and the verdicts of juries have no effect. The whole framework of our social organiza tion is dissolved, and we are turned over, in a state of chaos, to the authority of a mitary governor, under the nominal control of the President. Negro suffrage is forced upon us; in every election that is held, even under our provisional government, the right to vote is extended to every citizen, twenty one years old and upward, of whatever race or color, except disfranchised "rebels." This also involves the dis franchisement cf a part of our citizens, whether we consent to it or not.-In short, we are bound hand and foot, and thus delivered to a despotism which mingles civil authority exercised by Con gress, w ith militairy authority in the 1 hands of an irresponsible brizadier. The only alternatives presented to our choice are: 1st. Shall we ratify these terms by our own consent, and form a State con stitution containing negro- suffrage and partial white disfranchisement ? or 2d. Shall we endure the same evils as something that cannot be helped, and remain in the status of military provinces ? Confiscation is threatened as a penalty for refusal to accept these terms; bnt, on the other hand, there is danger that a convention formed for the purpose of re-modelling the constitution, may in flict the same penalty, as a reward for acceptance. A convention elected by the voters quali.ied-nder this act, would represent many constit ents who greatly desire a division of property. Not satis fied with freedom, they want property, and many of them would, if in their power, confiscate every dollar owned by a rebel. Our political rights have been .practi celly destroyed; we have left only the rights of person and property, and we are threatened with loss of these. Ncr1 is there any escape in remaining passive; for if we refuse to call a convention, oth ers may do it for us. In this emergency, we confess our-1 selves unwilling to assume the responsi bility af giving advice, or exciting a ray of hope. We are on the eve of a great social i-evolution-Gad grant that it be not a reign of terror ! But, surrounded by the gleam of th:e bayonet on every side, flanked, cut off, hemmed in, and powerless to sare themselves, the people of the South are in a desperate situation. May they be endowed from on bigh with wisdom to act, an;1 fortitude to bear, in this, the crisis of their fate. An Opinion. The Winnisboro News publishes the following extract of a letter from a dis tinguished gentleman, -whose opinion is wdrthy of deep consideration. Hie says: -"As to politics--if the South, without delay, orgor.ize-new State Governments, under the law just passed by Congress> lefting the blacks vote, they can-'enffhe revolution. If not, the next thing will be contfiscation, and a large- disfranchise ment. A recent visit to the North, during which we took Washington by tho way, confrms the truth of the above state ment. The best thing we can do is to slide off as easily as possible ; to. attend' to oar own aflairs, and leave- politics to those whom it benefits.--Columbia Phoe nix. The Richmond Times, adverting to the Governorship of Virginia, th us speak, of the heroic General Lee : "There was a time when his splendid genius had hurled army after army of e!eral 'nvaders, broken, defeated and demoralized, from the soil of his mother State, and when our success seemed as sured, rumor attributed to this great man the modest admission that he craved no higher honor than to be the Governor of Virginia. Until he speaks, we trust that that no inferior man will dare to outrage public opinion in Virginia by venturing to solicit an omlee which Lee may not feel authorized to decline." About fifty years backa married coupsle residing in Paris adopted a 'male child that had been found int the streets, al though hyaving a~ son of their owvn. The two children were brought up together and received the :same education ; the foundling vent into business and made a large fortume, while his benefactors met with reverses and died, leaving their son, a cripple, unprovided for. The dopted son then~ devoted himself egire ly to his companion in infancy, refusing to~ marry in order -not to be forced to quit him, and has now just died, leaving him a fortune of nearly a million. BE YE NoT CAsT DowN.-In the pres ent adverse circumstances, we would counsel our people to practice the vir tues of tirmness, patience and fortitude not to repine, but to exhibit a heroic manliness, to endure with fortitude what they cannot prevent, and to use increased industry and energy in the labors of their respective vocations -in life. Vio lent storms soon expend their force. Ac tion and renetion are equal, and reaction may take place sooner than we anticipate. Hope on, hope ever.-Fr-om the St un ton Spectator. There was no.pioperty offered for sale by the Coomnmissioner in Equity on Mon day. Shbe sales of the Sheriff wete post ponedl, by agreement of the partties inter ested, We are glad to believe that this compliance with the request of debtors evinces an honorable disposition on the art of creditors to refrain from pressing their claims when not forced to it by ne cessity.-Abbeville Banner. An old lady, wh'o had insisted on her minister praying for rain, had her cab Southern Schocl Books. The author, of a new series of Southern School Books, Professor Richard Sterling, Principal of Edgeworth Female Seminary, North Carolina, gave us the pleasure of a personal interview, last week and the satisfaction of reviewing the series of books enumerated below, which have met with almost universal commendation from the Press, and also from the heads of Schools. The list embraces ] st. The Southern Primer for beginners, beautifully embellished. 20. Southern Pictorial Pr~mer; retail price 25cts. 3d. Soui:ern Elementary Spelling Book ; 2Octs. 4th. Southern First ;;eader ; 37icts. 5th. Southern Second Reader ; 75cts. 6th. Southern Third Reader; 00cts. 7th. Southern Fourth Reader : $1,35. 8th. Southern Fifth R aler; 1,62. These books are all beautifully embel lishe'l and printed in the best style of typographic art, and on the finest of white paper. The b'nding is also unex ceptionable. They contain easy and instructive lessons, moral and religious. and are written and compiled with great ability, and peculiarly adapted to the wants of Southern Schools, in which it will be well if they are generally introdu ced. The need of a uniform and accept able set of class books for common schools in the Southern States is much felt, but need be so no longer. And the author and publishers; who have so ably met this great want deserve largely of the praise and support of our people. A supply of these books, as also a series of Copy Books, will soon be on sale at Messrs. Duffie & Chapman's Store, and we recommend then cheerfully to schools and heads of families. We copy from the ale notice of Mr. J. W. Davidson the following justly merited renmaiks As to the above-enumerated set ies of Readers there are some points in common which we shall indicate and which should recommend them to the patronage of the South. The extracts are to a greater extent than in any other series, taken from Soathern writers ; and, while every thing sectioral or recriminative towards the North is avoided, the tone and character of these pieces are genuinely Southern and suggestive of Southern modes of though t and feeling. We regard this as a strong point in favor of these books for Southern use.-Nor thern wri ters are freely selected from, whenever their writings are in themselves desirable. We find extracts from New England itself-Bancroft, Mrs. Sigourney, J. L. Et{phens, Webster, B-wies, and Long fellow ; and others from such men as Irving and Paulding. England, Ireland, Scotland, France, and Germany are also represented. All the Southern States are represen ted. Of Souith Carolinian-a there are eleven- Grimke,. Xatnmond, Palmer, Simms, Preston, Calhoun, Legare, Mrs. MCr,Timrod, Howe, and Hay ne. W lokin vain for examples of slang, patois, negro or provincial language, and similar blemishes; all of which are so calculated to mislead the young mind as ,to what is genuine English. The main competition this series has now to meet with lies between. it and that which is be&ng issued with the name of Prof. HIolme'iupon its title-:page, and which bas some things to commend it ; hut not half asinany as the oe before us. Southern teachers have now nn oppgr-' tunity of getting rid of reading books that con tain selections offer>/ve to sec tional feeling ; and of adoptig such as are in themselves equal to the best- of any section. And upon the matter of or thography hese books are better than all others, boause as far as -we are :ad vised every one of the Northern readers conform to Webster's abominable spell ing, which has recently been thrown out 'f use even in one of the leadi-ig cities North. I's high time that we were entirely rid of it,and rid of it forever. The Lesson Taught by Georgia. TIf South Carolina had taken the advice of John C. Calhoun and built a cjntinen tal railroad westward to Knoxville, Char leston would have become the great sea port of the Atlantic for the Southern States. WVhat South Carolina lost by failing to take the advice of the old man Calhoun, Georgia gained by taking the *advice of*the young man Alex. H. Ste phens. Georgia became the Empire State of the South, and South Carolina be-came the cauldron of politician.s. It is -1 notable fact that when a - preacher, a lawyer or a doctur fails in his profession, he turns po:itician and keeps t is friends in a stew till he dies. So when a State drops internal improvements and turns old fogy, we may expect to find a politi cal conservatism which holds on to old things without learning new.- So it was with South Carolina. Neglecting the advice of Calhoun, she hung on to a dead theory instead of reaching forward to a jive fact.- She .ar gued that internal improvements by a State would, under any circumstances, ruin the people, and persistently shut ber eyes to the fact that Boston, with her Western railroad to Albany ; New York, with her Central railroad and canal; Bal timore, with her Ohioj road ; Pe nnsylva nia, n ith her Pittsburg road, .,r.d Georgia, with her State road, all prove that State aid to railroads, under some circumstan ces, would not only not ruin the people, but build up tietropolises and empires. And so- South Carolina, and, perhaps, Alabama, talked politics, while Georgia dug dirt. The result has been, what ? Atlanta, which was a wvood station when Montgomery was a town, is now a cif.y, whilst Momtgomery is still a town. By a iecent census, Atlanta is found to have a population of .20,228, being about 4,000 *more than Montgomery. How do we account for the grawth of Atlanta and the other towns upon the State road, whtch can boast of no. natu ral advantages?' The solution of the enigma stares us in the faee ; Boston, New York, Baltimore, and every large Western city has solved it. It is the corppletion, by State assistance, of a great continental- railroad, connecting the seaport of the State with the great living laboring, throbbing heart of the North west. LOCAL ITEMS. SHAD, SHA!-Riser can supply you with nice, fresh shad, two or three days in every week. Leave your orders with him, as they go off like hot cakes! VEGETABLEs.-Nice, fresh vegetables in great variety, just from the Charleston farms, for sale at A. M. Riser's. Mr. R. will supply the citizens with vegetables, two or three times a week till further notice. REV. L. C. LANCE.-We had the pleasure some days ago, of meeting our friend and quondam pastor, on the G. & C. R. R. The friends of Mr. Lance will be gratified to learn that he was in good heaith. ToNSORIAL.-We can recommend Lewis Butler and his polite assistant. They mani" pulate about the chin and scalp in real ar tistic style. The luxury of a shave or a "champoo" may be enjoyed in his shop. He dresses the hair a Ia Parisien. ATTENTIO.-By reference to card it will be noticed that the Stock of Messrs. Marshall & Bro., is offered for the next ten days, at and unler cost for cash. The object is to close out present stock, and to do so a sacrifice will be made. This is a rare chance for bargain hunters and can he relied on ; what these gentle men say they will do, SCHOOL NOTICE.-It will be seen on re ference to another column, that Miss Mary B. Pickens began the exercises of her school Monday last. Miss Pickens is a highly ac complished young lady, and possesses those great requisites for a teacher-patience and a gentle-firmness. For a proper develop ment of the pliant mind of youth, it is essen, tial that those controling should gain -their confidence and respect, and in return yield a hearty sympathy. We are satisfied that Miss Pickens combines those qualities of head and heart which will enable her to strike the golden mean. BETTER TUAN ALL.-The most interest ing card in to-days paper is the special cish notice of Messrs. Carwile & Mc Catghrin, wherein they say that hereaf ter under no circumstances will memo randum accounts be kept. This is a s'.ep in the right direction,and if it is only followed by others it will be a great bles sing to the people. A strict cash princi ple will save the country if any thing wvill, and Messrs. Carwile & Mc Caughrin deserve praise for its inauguration. Pay as you go should be the motto of all. If you have the money buy what is needed, if not do without it. Who will be the next ? We hope that every merchant in this town will fall into and adopt this plan. Everybody will be benefitted by it. THlE DEAR LADIES will notice the im por tan tannouncemnent in another column, made for their especial benefit, and which states that an interesting arrival took place here last week, consisting of an in finitude of articles which go to make up the sum of happiness, in the shape of bonnets, hats, ribbons, laces, trimmnings, and the thousand and one setceteras of the handsomest and* latest patterns. What a timre there will be, when it noised abi oad that Mrs. M. A. Stoddard has opened her eTeg;mt Sp:rng Stock ; the "oh dears," "oh my9s and "h6w sweets," as each charming conceit is unfolded or displayed to the eye, will be a concert of sweet sounds such as has not been heard since.the last fashions went out. ALL A MISAK.--The owners of Cats wi-ll be glad to know th'it we have deter mined to let them alone. .They. were not to bilame as our correspondent was led to believe last week. It has since been ascertained that the noise alluded to was made by an amateur club of serenaders of the biped order, and *noto feline caterwvaulers. The atmosphere being heavy, and voices naturally out of tune, the mistake is not so much to be wondered at. Such sounds of a dark, windy night might easily be mistaken for the cater wauliug ofamorous Thomases, while watching their inamoritas, and their love songs as intelligible as the ser-enades of men to some fair one behind a lattice. SPRING IS COMING. BY A. J. flEQUIEE. I know it by the hyacinths Which now begin to blow, And flitting voices strangely sweet And tremulously low. And something purer in the sun, And softer in the air, .And holier in the twiligh t stars, That Spring will soon be here. The almanacs are well enough For gardeners and for cooks I seek the seassons in the sky, And find them by the brooks; I hear them on the breezy hills, And, in the hollows, see IThe token,flowers and signs that speak Their messages to me. And thus, I gleam from gleaming isles Of sunset in the West; From wavings of untirinigs wings That w ill not go to rest; From spells of fragrance spiced afar, And peeping spears of green, And silver bugles in the wind, The advent of a Queen! * I know it by the hyacinths' IWhich now begin to blow, That Winter, on his-icy bed, Is dead or nearly so. And soon will come, with flaxen etirls, Led by the laughing hours, The blu~e-eyed daughter of the Sun, In glorifying showers! If itlbad no~t been for the.,six dlays glorious shower of last week one might be led to believe that Springa-is coming. What if hyacinths are blowing, and jump ups 'growing, ain't the winds too blowing and goods still flowing. Talk not of spicy gales, except to the marines, nor tw.ilight stars, token flowers, gleam ing isles, nor silver bugles in the wind, while we shiver in the cold, wear rubbers, and overcoats and have to buy cord wpod. It won't do. The gentleman is wrong this season. The purchase of Lower California has Wr srcu DISPLAY, of dangling chain ? we asked a friend tother day. It was so striking and so unusual an appendage for him, that the question was unavoid able. "Its all along of the Bankrupt Act" he- replied, for says he "every body is anxious to compromise now, when before they would not, nary comp. said they. They are afraid of the Bankrupt law, and are willing to take two cents on the dol lar, but its too late now for some, and I wear this goold chain to give them plea sure and the satisfaction of knowing that I am all right." Turning on our well worn heel, we left the "proprieator" of the fob chain with the feeling that "such is life." - ALAS FOR THE FooLs.--The Newberry Herald brings us the sad intelligence that the Fool killer is on his-way to Clin ton ! To that large and respectable class of our citizcns the Herald gives the sig nificant warning "Hide in your holes, ye small big men of the big-head ord r, for you are his special abhorrence." P. S. We thank the Herald for its timely warning. P. S. No. 2. On second thought we think ourselves secure for a little while longer, as it will take an awful long time for the fool-killer to get through his work at Newberry. In tender sympathy we would advise, that it is "best not to halloo till out of the wood," for there is no telling what may happen till the danger be safely over. From an accurate census made for this town, since the stampede on last Sale-day, it has been ascertained that there are only six cases here at present who are liable to fall victims to the wrath of Jess. The balance of them took pass age per Hack and wagon on that memo rable but terrible morning ; where they all landed it is impossible to determine, but the reasohable supposition is that they "gophered" along the road, some of them ro doubt at Clinton. It' as fur ther ascertained that they did not belong in these parts, but were birds of passage. The following note too from the gentle man will tend to dissipate the happy feeling, and show that the time may not be so "awful long" after all. FROG IEVEL, March 12th, 1867.

Under this bill, a general is not authorized to delegate powere to the acting governor. The registration oothi requires, 'sincerely, and earnestly, that voters shall be' attached to the Union G6vernment of the United States; will steadfastly support the Constitution, obey the laws, induce o.thers to yield support and obedience to'the majbiity ; the, restored voters are required to con form to the Constitution ; all elections to be by ballot. The bill passed-yeas117, nays 27. -The New York Express is responsible for the following statement, which is in terestin)g And imuportant, if true. "The. Jews in Bombay. have been greatly excited by the bublication of a pamphlet by their :pontiff entitled 'The Voice of the Vigilant. The object of the pamphlet is to persuade the Jews th.at~ it is uselesss to wait any longer for the promnised Messiah, as it was Jesus Christ himself, who was made known in the New Testament." A country that will acquie ce, in a time of universal peace, in a measure de liberately abrogating the Constitution and laws in toto over half the nation, yet affecting to keep them in force' in the other half, is a country ignorant of its owri constitution, and, therefore, incapa ble of a saving faith in it. Such a people are ripe for self-abasement, and in. immi nent peril of their freedom.-Extract. Y. M. C.

Somebody says it is a mistake to sup pose that' every body in Kentucky is running for Governor. There are thir-' teen mew who are niot. They are the c:indidates for Lieutenmant Governor. A nicely dressed man went into a gam bling saloon in Brenham, Texas, and lost all his money, then his hat, his coat, his. vest and pan taloons, his boots, stockings, and shirt, until he finally left the house stark naked. ----+-.

Aftet a few moments of silence the wife looked calmly into his face and said; "Will the sheriff sell you? Oh, no! Will the sheriff sell me? Oh, no! Will the sheriff sell the children? Oh, no! Then do not say that we have lost every thing. All that is most valuable remains to us-manhood, womanhood, childhood. We have lost but the results of our skill and industry.
