1 -m IMrMANT To SUBSCRIBERS.-Nearly every day we receive letters from oil -ubscribers enclosing thoney to renew their subscriptions and tellir g us we need not be so alfired particular about stopping it the very day the time expires for which they have paid. Our rule is advance payment, and when the time ex pires we invariably strike out the name, unless by an oversight of the mailing clerk it is omitted for a week or so. We make this rule-if we break it for one we must break it for another, and that is impossible. We enter no names upon our books till pail-if a man wants to borrow money from us we lend it to him, but the transaction is never shown upon our subscription book. And if we send a paper without pay from a party, we take the money fiom our private purse, pay for the same for such time as it is sent, and thus keep our books and busi ness in sand. We mean no offence by discontinuing a man's paper when his time runs out. We do not see the books-if we should :-do the mailing ourselves 'twould take twelve days where we have but six. We have no objections to giving money to spending _ esoney for subscribers in such beverages or amusements as they desire when we nheet, but would not seed a paper to our grand father, even, ope moment longer than it was marked paid. This is the rule of the office-it is ness-the clerk who would deviate from it would lose his place instantl, It may seem a small matter to the sub acriber, but in the aggregate, where we have thousands and thousands of sub scribers, any one will see that we cannot live except: by attention to all items of bidness.-"Brick'Pomeroy. Sound-very sound. Goon ADVIcE.-The Griffin Star says that there is a great deal or advice uolnteered. Archy says he was educa ted to sell his own advice, and therefore gives it away with a bad grace. But he gives a little, and this is a specimen : -st.. All people who have not yet died a natural death, are advised not to get scared to death at this late stage of the 2d. Those who were lucky encugh to - keep their carcasses out of range of Yan keeleaden bullets during the war, need not get unnecessarily alarmed at paper ones now. 3d. If the Yaikees do confiscate the Southern lands, they cannot move the lead out of the country. 4th. If anybody has done anything utra mean that he can't get forgiveness fhr, and fears that the local laws of the country wil.get hold of him, let him snake his peace with the radicals at once, an~d he will be protected in his rascality. 5th. Let him who has always acted liaiomestly, ad endeavored to do his duty Sto his feitow man, go about his business - Jewdusly whatever that business may be. 6th. Gered wives, who wish to retain th', afections of their husbands, should abiyiFieet them with a smile, and try $a have their cakes and cofe~e hot when they come home at night, tired and fret ted vit6 the day's troubles and vexations. 7tth .Hasbandls should hold themselves ~ reasonable occasions-and happy is he that has ababy tomind. 8th. (0n the pious order)-The Lord enudeth rain.upon the evil and the good, - ad causeth-the sun to shine upon the eust aud the unjuist.-ergo, the industrious min shall reap. his reward. .'hesweetnprise all the Law and the * - Proph:ets applicable to the times. Gmc. Lx's ADVJC.-We published a day or~twagoa brief telegraphic synop sis of thefie*s of Gen. Robert E. Lee in refece toe policy wbh the South ern people should pursue in the present criss The Richmond dispatch of the 13d, this alkcdes to his suggestion: We have unquestionable authorit y for saying that (Geu. Lee expresses hims~elf stirongly and warmly on the subject of a conveetion. He thinks.it is the duty of the people tocgept the situation fully, as- te only dance left of preserving what remains'to us, and that every man saut actualiy disfranchised should not only take thie necessary steps to prepare - himself to votle, but to prepare all his' friends, white and colored to vote, and to vote rightly. [le thinks the cooper ation of all the people, officials and citi zens should be prompt and heat ty, and that-our chief object should be to get as qjuickly.and as quietly as possible back1 into the Union with such rights as are left us, as the only means of saving any -thing and 'of restoring p!ace, through * which alone we can hope for better things. le~thinks the oath proposed is snch as every good citizen not disfran chised ought now to be able to take, as asimple matter of truth and of duty, as a citizen of the co zntry. * - General Robert E. Lee, General Joseph E Johnston, General G. T. V. Beauregard, Lt. Gen. James Longstreet, Lt. Gen. Wade Hampton, Maj. Gen. Wm i. Mahone. Maj. Gen. Ethel Barksdale, * )Maj. Gen. - Chalmers. T t is of men like these that the Con stitutionalist says : 'Their genius for solving vexed ques tions of' State is not in the highest condi tion of intellectual iealth or ingenuity." Becase they presume to recommend totepeople a prompt and hearty co -operation in reestablishing the political * ~ position of the~ States upon the basis of the laws of Congress, they are thus * taunted with imbeciity.-Aug, Press. .. STEAXKR EMtILI.-We are plea.<ed to see that the ahove Steamer has resumed her trips.to this port under the command of Capt. Isaac Davis. The Emihe is a! comfortable and commodious Steamer, and the well known popularity of Capt. Davis will doubtless make her a complete success. As we now have two safe steam ers on the line, we think it would afford better accommodation to the public could they arrange to make their trips on diff erent days of the week, and, also, if poss *ble, avoid the violation of the fourth commandment of the decalogue. It would s'cemn the six days of the week could be so managed as to avoid the dese cration of the Sabbath.-Georgetown Times. Ge J.ee is ojir model. We have said, sl1 the while, tlaat every defeated South erner ought to act liki Gen. L.ee, But who can do it ? Not one in a thousand, We have chafpd too much ; wg, have not been sufficiently politic. We mn'tist learn to be move discreet. We plaae onr selves at grept disadvantage, when we do not hold our tongues and cozmmand our tamners--anville Times. The Peoples Want's. Under this head "A Plante: write to the Unionville Times as follows: Our wants are common sence sets c legislation, and common sense industr; at home. To revive the hopes and pros perity of our State and people, ou Legislature sbould repair its past error and omissions, do what it ought to hay done as soon after Johnson's surrende as possible. 1st. Enact a Homestead and Exemptio: Law. 2d. A law to secure to ever: married woman all her property. And 3d. Appropriate means or credit suffi cient to complete the old Louisville an Cincinnati Rail Road. These all tend ti keep our people from emigrating, to brini otbe-s within the State, "to make per manent our improvements, to enhanc their value, to make home here a covetec possession and inheritance. . . The Homestead and Exemption Ac should be no mean nor picayune pretence but full, liberal, public spirited, patriotic statesmanlike-securing not less that five thousand dollars against levy an< sale. The other Acts, also, should fulfil each one, its purpose, in a fair and noblb spirit. Suppose we had had them al ready, how many a family would hav< been provided and blessed by this N more than justice to woman ? How man3 a household filled with smiles and. con tentment, where want and destitution and tears now prevail ? WORSE CoMING.-The Philadelphit Evening Telegraph thus ends a recen editorial : "We cannot but feel keen re gret that the prevailing tone of the South ern press is anything but what it ough to be. Alt counsel passive resistance, al unite with the Macon New Era, and agreE that the only good reason for not appeal ing to arms at this juncture is the hope lessness of success. We regret this dis position, because we see it necessitates yet more radical remedies in the future We would not have it necessary that th strong arm of the Government should b( bared, and that by one sweeping net o confiscati>n, the South be reduced tc beggary. Yet what may be necessary i the advice of the Southern journals is not discarded, we know not. Six month. ago and the adoption of the Constitutiona Amend,.nt would have made them bavf all their rights as loyal citizens. Tn-day a yet severer measure is required. 1 that is refused, they know not on whal conditions they may have to come bact, to morrow." ASYLUM FOR PRINTERS.-The announce. ment that accompanied the publicatior of the will left by Charles F. Browne (Artemus Ward,) to the eff'ect that his property-some $60,000-shall after th< eath of his mother, be appropriated t< the founding of an asylum for printers as drawn from the Chicago Tribune practical and an excellent suggestion, al follows: "We propose that the craft in all part of the country, by a united resolve, pro vide that there be retained by the fore man of each newspaper and printinj ffice, from the earnings of the journey man, a som equal to five mills upon eaci dollar of his weekly bill. This small tax of one half cent to the dollar, s,hould b< pid over to the local treasurer weekly and by him forwarded to a general treas urer to be invested until such time .a. the asylum fund will be available. Thb tax is a small one to each person but li ten years'time, if properly invested, wit! its earnings, would constitute a fun< equal to the e blishment and endowmen of an asylum .qual to the demands of thi ci aft, and worthy of the men whose in firmities of body may make them its in mates." PLANT GoTToN AND CoRN.-Thbe Green :'" advocate says: Nature has place< it in the power of man to raise every thing at the South which is necessary ti supply all reasonable demands. Ou people are now actually rejecting th bounties of climate and soil ; and, in thei mad folly for cotton bags, are paving tb way for tL.e r utter ruin and degredation Wben the land passes into the hands o another race, then the people of thes States will be strangers and servant; upon the soil which gave them birth And those who own the lands will shov their immense value by the abundanc< which they will raise and have arount them. Instead of being dependent upoi other States and~ other people, they wil make them their tributaries. THE SPARTANBU RG SPARTAi.-ThI Spartan is evidently a progressive paper we are pleased to see in its clear indica tions, that it does not favor the old lawi of the State that rob wives and forc< utter ruin upon families, and restrict th< unfortunate debtor to that "ten dollars worth of provisions," for himself an< wife, and little children, and the help less old people about the, house, an< which turns the whole lot out of doors whenever the plaintiff' directs. Success to the Spai tan and all suel friends of humnanity. We wish him ar increase of subscribers.-Greenville En terprise, MAsONIc CHARTIs.-The Augusti Constitutionalist supplies us with thi following Masonic news : 1. ;T. Martin, of Cynthiana, Grand Mas ter of the Masonic Brotherhood in Ken tucky will start South next week, for thi purpose of distributing several thousan< dollars contributed by the Masonic Lodg< in that and other States for the relief o destitute orphans and widws of Mason: in the Southern States. The Lodges ir Paris, Frankfort ar.d Cynthiana, hav< contributed $100 each. The Masons o York, Pennsylvania, have also sent t< Mr. Martin a contribution of $50. ElsE CoUNSLS.-The *chmond Wbij very truly observes: "This is no tim for division among our newspapers, on: legislators, or our people ; no time fo crimination or controversy. We shoul< all, if possible, think, feel and act ir unison. We should all vote, pand vdte together. We should endeavor to attrac the support and co-operation of all men whatever their antecedents and what ever thiir color." It looks as if the fdying rumors abou the ill health of ex-President D)avis art ill founded, as a Washington paper say: tiat many ladies o'f that city are busila engaged in making baby clothes for Mrs Davis. - - - - * - -- prowniow is still,on the-rampage, or as a Meinphie paper puts it, "the guia scmLus has braken loose." - The same paper mentions that a matcl game of ball will come off at the fati grounds, betwepn th~-.~Jant~c ~n4 ~Ilat NEWBERRY, S. C. f Wednesday Morning, April 3, 1867. Job Printing. Such as circulars, bill heads, receipts cards, wedding and business, handbills, r &c., neatly and expeditiously printed at this office, on reasonable terms, for cash. 1 Having lately added new type and other material to our large assortment we are able to execute all work in our line in I handsome style. Mortifying. One of the most mortifyir, things connected with our particular business is the necessity of dunning, dunning, t everlastingly dunning, for miserable little amounts, ranging from one and a half, to three or five dollars, for subscriptions and advertising, and to parties too who come the dodge over us on the promise of making it all right in a week or more, after "selling this, that or the other," or "until they come to town again." Our health never very robust, is growing feebler under the effects of the mortifica tions continually experienced, and if it continues we know not what will come of us. Some tragic end no doubt. That they all mean well, we have not a shadow of doubt, they think that because we publish a respectable paper and send it week after week, and advertise, on their promises, and that there is no suffering apparent on the hright pages of the Herald, that all is well, and we can wait. There never was a greater mistake, or more heinous sin against poor printers. The canker worm is in our heart, we feel it knawing. Would that our heart were a file. .If this thing continues we will flee to the mountains, turn guerilla, bush whacker, take a posish in the Bureau, teach little nigs, or go a fishing, we don't care which. Oh that we were done with this dunning, this terrible dun, dun, dunning ! Do you owe us anythng? "Yes." Well square up immediately, or "may your cow give sour milk, your hens lay bad eggs, and your daughter marry a one-eyed editor, and his business go to ruin." Plant Corn. Tt is likely says the Augusta Press, that our planting friends, who have cot. .an on the brain, will consider it officious in the press to be continually harping on a subject which they ought to understand better than anybody else; and we imag ine we see them throwing down the pa per in disdain, with the contemptuous -remark, that "these newspapers bad better mind their own business"-and we seriously fear that in utter disregard of "line upon line, and precept upon pre -cept," given them from day to day, and week to week, they will still neglect pro visions, and thus keep up the old depen dance on other sections for our supplies Iof food. The present condition of things, twhen almost the entire proceeds of the last cotton crop are required to buy sup plies to make the next, ought, it seemis to us, to induce a change of policy, with out a word from the newspapers. But it seems impossible to change the cus .toms of cur people, and we are apprehen >sive that cotton will still be planted, to Sthe neglect of food crops, and that noth ing short of utter impoverishment will work a reform in our agricultural policy. The Williamston Infirmary. On a recent trip along the line of the G & :C. R. R., we spent a few moments pleasantly at Williamston, at which place Dr. H. I. Epting, late of our town, has established an infirmary. Institutions of this kind are much needed in the South, and certainly no fmner locality for one can be found in our State, The atmosphere is salubrious, and the water-chalyheate-among the purest known in America. The doctor is prepared to treat every pos sible condition of diseased action that ha - manity is heir to, upon scientiac principles. The Infirmary is abundantly supplhed with everything necessary for the comfort and convenience of the sick. Tbe charges for board and medicines are moderate, and no other charges will be made unless the vital powers are "ompletely restored to their orl, ginal integrity. Dr. Epting is well suited to preside over an institution of this kind. He is of Teutonic extraction-of a metaphysical cast-and has just enough of the lymph to make him pa tient with the sick, as well as agreeable and instructive in conversation. A man of plain and simple exterior, yet possessed of a ripe Iand rich mind; is a close student, and al ways tracing cause to effect, has developed a mind as once bold and original, which, enables him to detect the varied phases of mnorbific action, and to at once apply the We have no doubt that.under his manage,, Iment, the Williamston Infirmary will prove a success. Personal. We had the pleasure of an interview last week,- with Mr. Hugh Wilson, the energetic publisherof the Abbeville Press. Success to the Press. THE GALAxy-The April 1st No. just to hand. Contents varied and interest ing as they always are. The Galaxy is -highly* esteemed and looked for with Iinterest. Send for a copy to Publishers W. C. & F. P. Church, 39 Park Row, N. Y., or subscribe for it from Messrs. Duffie & Chapman. Tui Cuca UMNo..-We ha.ve re ceived.two co; ies of a paper bearing this title, published at New York* anid Brook lyn, offce 163S Fulton St., N. Y., price $2.50 per annumn. We have received a copy of the "Free -Trader," by Robert FPell, 45 William St., N. Y. "Freedom of trade is the life of trade." The League advocates free -and unrestricted trade,snbject to no other limitations than the -revenue-necessities of the Government des mand. IThe Daily Greenville Advocate is published -at Greenville, Ala., by Leatherwood & Stan' 13', at $8 per annum. LOCAL ITIMs. Two PIcTREts.-The following lines by Paul H. Bayne, appropriately tell our past experience: PICTURE FIRST. The RainI the desolate Rain ! Ceases, aneolemn, and chill How ft drips on the mysty pane, How It drenches the darkened sill! 0! scene of sorrow and dearth, I would that The wind awaking To a fierce-and gusty birth, Might vary this dull refrain - Of the Rain, the desolate Rain; For the heart of Heaven seems breaking In tears o'er the fallen Earth I And again, again, again, We list to the sombre strain The long, low monotone, (Whose soul is a mystic moan), Of the Rain, the Rain, the Rain, The low, despairing Rain! The Rain! the mournfhI Rain! Weary, passionless, slow; 'Tis the rhythm of settled sorrow, 'Tis the sobbing of cureless woe, And all the tragic of life, The pathos of Long Ago, Comes back on the sad refrain, Of the Rain, the mournful Rain, The desolate, dreary rain. But 'tis over we trust, the "ceaseless, and solemn, and chill," and when next it comes let us hope 'twill be in April show ers bringing sweet May flowers. Read Mrs. Heman's "Voice of Spring" as PICTURE SECOND. I come, I come! ye have called me long! I come over the mountains, with light and song, Ye may trace my steps o'er the wakening earth, By the winds which tell of the violet's birth, By the primrose stars in the shadowy grass, By the green leaves opening as I pass. I have breathed on the South, and the chess not flowers By thousands have burst from the forest bowers, And the ancient graves and the fallen fanes, Are veiled with wreaths on Italia's plains; But it is not for me in my hour of bloom, To speak of the ruin or the tomb. From the streams and the founts I have loosed the chain, They are sweeping on to the silvery ,rn, They are flashing down from the mtitain brows. They are flashing spray o'er the forest boughs, They are bursting fresh from their spatry caves, And tb: erh resounds with the joy of waves. Come forth ye children of gladness, camel Where the violets lie,may be now your home, Ye of the rose-lip, and dew bright eye, And the bounding footstep, to meet, me fly ! Wifh the lyre, and the wreath and the joy ous lay, - Come forth to the sun4hine; I may not stay. Now do ye not feel better, fresher, al ready, yountg men and maidens, care wor n men and silent matrons, every one or you ? Spring is coming ; the voices say so. "Then let's be gay and banish sorrow." "GONE UP."-Do not be alarmned, rea der, at the ominous title-"gone up. We are not recounting the melancholy demise of some un fortunate, nor the terri ble collapse of a flashy concern, but the melancholy, to us, fact that Messrs. Love. lace & Wheeler have "gone up"-town, removed to their new store, next to their old corner. They have gone from under, and we still on top, but we sorrow that the pr p is removed, that after being so long closely linked together, we are forced to separate. From the stirring times of the Confed. to the present; through trials many, t.-M'~ations- sore, through the sea of fire, which swallowed up our little possessions, and through other pleasanter and more prosperous times has our inti mate connection ran. We did hope to voyage longer together in one boat, but fate decreed it otherwise, and we now wish them prosperous galeb in the future. In their new location they have much to gratify, have gone to a higher grade of society, among the merchant M-jors, Cap tains, Doctors, etc., have an elegant new store, have in store and are still receiving a lar-ge and well assorted stock of goods, and very naturally expect to do a much finer business ; but in spite of all these advantages they will miss the old fami liar rumble of the Herald press up-stairs, and sigh at the thought. We wish Messrs. Lovelace & Wheeler, and their agreeable and clever assistants, much satisfaction in their new abode, a larger business, and an ample fortune, one of these days, no men deserve it more than they ; accommodating, kind, genial, lib eral and enterprising, they stand A 1 in their profession, and we give them over to a community who know how to, and do, appreciate them. WHo NEXr.-The initiative by Messrs. Car wile & McCaughrin in vetoing"memo randum accounts" is being followed by our merchants. Messrs, Lovelace & Wheeler, M. Barre & Son and Wiskeman & Wilber have fallen into line, and per haps others we know not of. We rejoice at it, and earnestly hope that it may soon be universal. When -once the cash system is adopted, and the old miserable, ruinous, sinful credit plan abolished, "the good time" long since spoken of will conme. Buy what you need, if you have the money for it, ifsnot do without it; an unlimited credit and 'a good face has ruined many a good man. We are down on the old plan, and want no more credit, won't have it, will neither give nor take. "old Trust is dead, bad pay killed him." DEAR LADIES.-Yot1r'lineS are caSt in3 pleasant places, and how thankful you ought to be that you lire in this enlight ened century, when fashiorn is free and unrestricted. Thi,elocal's heart thumps with joy. Readtthis did act of the British Parliament in 1779: ft~ women, of -whatever age, rank, profession or degree, whether they be maids or dows, that shall from and af ter this act, imnpose'upon and~ betray intc matrjmony - any of His Majesty's male subjects by~paints, scept, eogmnetic. rash es, artificial teeth, faish hair, Spanish wool, iron~ stays, hoopsy high heeled shoes, or bolstering hips, shall incur- the Ti TEMPERANCE CAUsE.-The meet ing held last Wednesday night was well attended. Another will be held to-night, (Wednesday) at the same time and place. Quite a number of names were attached to an instrument "to abstain from the use of alcoholic drinks, as beverages." The cause is a good one and deserves countenance and support. Much might be said concering the vast amount of alcoholic drits consumed at large, and of the influences and desolating results, but we forbear for the present. Col. John R. Leavell we learn is Secre tary of the association. MOST REMARKABLE.-In fact a little more so, as every one will admit after reading. We do not vouch for its truth however and only give it as found. Our old lady readers will please wipe their spectacles carefully, and give it a second reading before coming to a decision. Some folks don't believe everything that newspaper men say-and we don't blame them for it at all: "Last night yesterday morning about two in the afternoon before breakfast a hungry boy about forty years old, bought a custard pie for a levy, and threw it through a brick wall nine feet thick, and jumping over it broke. his right ankle off above the knee fell into a dry mill pond and was drowned. About forty years after that, on the same day an old cat had twenty turkey gobblers ; a a high wind blew Yankee Doodle on a frying pan, and knocked the old Dutch church down, killed a sow and two dead pigs in Boston, where a deaf and dumb man was talking french to his aunt Peter." SATE DAY.-Not much business was transacted here on Monday last, and might be summed up as follows: one box paper collars or cuffs, reporter could not tell which, so dense was the crowd, six small memorandum books, two ele gant super. cloth coats made of tweeds, one mouth crgan, one old jack plane, cur ry comb, and a capital old cooking stove, which bad been tried in some fire and found wanting, ranging in prices from 20 cts. to $2,50. Competition ran high for the collars, owing to the current be lief that t'ie new fashion this summer will reduce the costume to paper collars and spurs. After the usual amount of whiskey was drunk, sale day broke.. Wn.o woULD NOT BE AN EDrrof?-Anl editor was shaved in a barber's shop re cently, and offered the barber a dime, which was refused, "Because," said he, "1 understand dat you is an editor." "Well, what of it ?" "Why, we neber charge editors nuffin." "But such liberali ty will ruin you." "0, neber mind, we make it off de gemmen." WHO woULD BE AN EDITOR ?-A man stopping his paper, wrote to the editor: "1 think folks otters to-spend their munny Ifor papers ; my dad didn't,, and every body says he wvas the intelligyntist wan in t'he country, and hed the smartest family of boys that ever dug taturs." A great deal might be said on both sides of the question. TAKE's A JoKE.-Our big bender friend who displayed such won lerful agility here a few weeks back, wonderful because of his huge ponderosity, wifl accept our thanks for the hig'. appreciation taken of our local notice of his performance, inas much as it gained him a subscriber for our paper. His good sense is as large as his chest is comprehensive ; he can take a jtke, and is chock fullof fun. In fact he is the funniest man we ever saw sometimes.

Russia, granting sovereignty to the Russian-American Possessions and the adjacent islands to the United States; price $11,000,000. This acquisition almost excludes England from the Pacific and includes valuable fisheries.. The New York World has great hopes that the niggers down South will all be I"Conservatives," or most of them. "Cone servative niggers" is good ! Just think of a plantation divided between "Con servative and Radical dark eys !" The World urges the.southern people to go "to courting the negro vote!" It is dif ficult to tell in which the World excels, impertinence or nastiness. NEw ORLEANS, March 29.-A duel took place this morning between the manager of the National Theatre and the editor of the German Gazette. The latter was wounded, probably fatally, at the third fire.

John Hughes, the Southern candidate, was elected to the State Senate unanimously. The negroes voted. The simultaneous weddings of three brotheas with three sisters is announced in Burlington, Iowa. THE PEOPLE OF GEORGIA.-A cotempo rary sheet commends the people of Geor gia to attend to their own private affairs, and let politics alone. The advice is sen sible, and the people would no doubt heed it and be thankful-if the newspa pers would just set them an example. B. Rush Campbell, Grand Lecturer of South Carolina, is now in the eastern portion of the State, for the purpose of instructing the various Masonic Lodges, and in ordrr to cause a uniformity of work. More than ever is it now necessary that every Southern boy should learn a trade-should take off his coat, roll up his sleeves, and go at something,-by which he can make aliving. and support himself. An exchange says it is just as sensible a move to undertake to get married with out courtship as to attempt any business without advertising; both often:prove abortive. A terrible earthquake has taken place In the Island of Mytilene. All the habitations on the island are in ruins and hundreds of lives have- been lost. A marriage in New York was in definitely postponed, in consequence of the bride being too drunk to-say ''yes."
