he following is (en. Beauregard's re sponse to the tall made by the New Or, leans Times: s*w ORLEANS, LA., March 23. Wt I. . Kro EDITOR OF THE NEW Os-. LNS T ns, NNW ORLEANS, LA. Dxi Sria: You have done me the hon= or to call for my opinion relative to .the. action of the South under the military bill. Having seldom taken any pain. in politics Ido not feel well qualified to advise on so momentous a question ; nevertheless, as the same desire to obtain my views has been manifested from various quarters, I shall not shrink from responsibility of expressing them, in the hope that; they may tend to quiet the public mind, so justly alarmed at this moment. ; In my humble opinion, we have but one of two things to do-resist or sub mit. The first is inadmissible, in our painfully exhausted condition. Four years of a desperate war have taught us that the "Largument of the sword" can no longer be resorted to by us to redress our grievances. We must, therefore, submit; but with that calm dignity be coming our manhood and our lost inde pendence. Having been overpowered in the late struggle, we can submit to the harsh and ungenerous conditions of our conquerors without dishonor, and we must adopt the least of two evils; a futile resistance = would only cause our rivets to be driven closer; we must then acquiesce ,r leave the country. But we love too dearly the land of our birth to abandon it in its hour of severest trial. We should avoid, also, bringing it, by internal.dissensions, to the condition of poor Mexico, and the unfortunate South American Republics. With regard to the suffr..ge of the freedmen, however objectionable it may be at present, it is an element of strength for the future. if properly handled and directed, we shall defeat our adversaries with their own weapon. The negro is southern born ; with a rttle education and some property quali Beations, he can be made to take suffi cient interest in the affairs and prosperity of the South to insure an intelligent vote on his part. In our future political contests with the North, on protective tariffs, internal - improvements, etc., the freedmen of the South will side with the whites of the South and of the West, and they will thus contribute to give us back the influ ence we formerly had in the councils of the nation. Our people should understand that tho radicals.can remain in power only so long as the public excitement is kept up ; as with the turbid waters of the Missis aippi River, the sedimentary particles; are kept up at the surface only so long as the waters are in motion ; the instant the current is checked, those particles fall to the bottom. Thus will it be with the radicals, when peace and quiet are restored to the country ; the conserv atives will then take 'the reins in their -own hands, and the 'constitutional laws of the~ land will once more prevaiL. I-remain yours, respectfully, G. T. BEAUREGARD. Letter from Gen. Longstreet wn the Present andiaman af Political A.flirr Nzw ORLEAs, LA., March 18, 1867. - To THE EDITOR OF THE NEW ORLEANS DEAR Sri In your paper of yester day you have expressed a desire to bear the views of several gentlemen upon the political condition of the country. I find my name mentioned upon your list, and proceed without hesitation to re -spond. As I have never applied myself to poli tics, I cannot claim to speak to the wise statesmen of the country, who are devo ting their energies to the solution of the problem which agitates the public mind. I can onry speak the plain, honest convic - tions of a soldier. It can hardly be necessary, at this late -day, to enter into a discussion of the matter that. is usually brought up in ar guing upon the proposed plan for recon structing the Government. Indeed, I think that many of them are not perti nent to the question. The striking feature, and the one that our people should keep in view, is that we are a -conquered people. Recogni zing this fact fairly and squarely, there is but one course left for wise men to pursue. Accept the terms that are -of fered us by the conquerors ! -There can be no discredit to a conquered people for accepting the conditions offered by their conquerors. Nor is there any occasion for a feeling of .humiliation. We have made an honest, and I hope that I might say, a creditable fight, but we have lost. Let-us come forward, then, and accept the ends involved in the struggle. - Our people earnestly desire ,that the - - - constitutional Government shall be re - established, and the only means to ac - complish this is to comply with the re quirements of the recent .Congressional legislation. It is said by some that Congress will not receive us even after we have comn plied with their conditions. But I can finadno sufficient reason for entertaining this proposition-for a moment. I cannot admit that the representative men of a great nation could make such a pledge in bad faith. Admitting, however, that there is such-a mental reservation, can - that be any excuse for us in failing to --discharge our duty ? Let us accept the terms as we are in duty .bound to do, and if there is a lack of good faith, let it be upon others~ I am, very respectfully, your mnost cbe dient servant, JAMES LONGSTREET. SENSI.BLE ADVIcE.-The Greensboro' (Ala.) Beacon gives the following very sensible advice to the land owners of that section. The advice is equally aip plicable to this latitude, and we trust it will not be ttally !ost on those to whom it is addressed. The Beacon says: "Land owners, who wish to devolve upon others the trouble, annovance andj uncertainty of tilling the soil~ with the labor of the freedmen, should also be moderate in fixing their rents. The& prospects for the agriculturist, as well as or the merchant, and we may add, all ther avocat ions of business, are decided ly bad throughoutL the South. Men who, in the face of such discouraging indica tiQns, agree to pay rents, are very likely to pd thermselves, at the end of 1867, unable to comply with their promises. Moderate rents, and a reasonable certain ty of prompt payments, are greatly pre ferable to high ~gures and uncertain pay NEWBERRY, S. C. Wednesday Morning, April 10, 188'. :Job.Pinting. Such as circulars, bill heads, receipts caras, .ieddingand business, handbills, &., neatly and expeditiously printed at this office, on reasonable terms, for cash. Having lately added new type and other material to our large assortment we are able to --ecute all work in our line in handsome style. The Home Journal. The above deservedly popular paper,re cently enlarged and imprcved, is now one of the very best literary and family papers in the country. Since the death of the lamented Willis, Morris' Phil lips & Co., ably sustain the high charac ter of the journal. THE SOUTHERN CULTIVATO.-The April number of this well known agricultural journal contains 48 pages-34 of reading matter, mostly original. It is embellish ed with a tasteful design and ground plan of a convenient dwelling-the first of a series. David Dickson, the most successful planter in Georgia, gives two communications, which, with over thirty other original articles, on topics pertain ing to the Farm, Garden and Fireside such as Cotton Culture, Manures, Grasses Sorghum and other crops, Sheep, Imple ments-Grapes, Peaches, Vegetables-a letter from Geies Munro, &c., &c., fully sustain the reputation of this valuable paper, which has been regularly issued for nearly twenty five years. We will furnish the Cultivator and Herald to subscribtrs at $4,50 per annum. The Fashion of no Crinoline. The Paris correspondent of the Chicago Republican writes as follows concei ning a matter which will be of interest to lady readers, so says an exchange. Now we very much doubt if the information will prove of so much interest after all. What matters it if Crinoline is out of fashion in Paris, our ladies do not live in Paris; should any of them go there, no doubt they will conform to the pre varling style, but here it is another thing. We see no diminution in Crinoline, nor want to. You have our permission then and are advised to wear the graceful article, "The Empress Trail," "Pride of the World," "The Man Pleaser," "The Tilter Up," "The Tiltereen," "The Street Sweeper, "The Morning Glory," or any other style which suits, its all one to us. Crinoline to the last. The cor respondent says in speaking of the Court ball: "Not a crinoline was to be seen. These articles have gone entirely out of fashion The most remarkable toillette was that of a Russian lady, who wore a gray silk with a train three yards long, covered with silver tulle, looped up with a wreath of natural tea roses. The corsage was nearly imperceptible, except when the diamonds gleamed , and a bird of Para dise perched upon her head, attached by a diamond, from which dropped the long plume upon her shoulders. Interesting. In the forthcoming life and campaigns of Gen. RI. IE. Lee, by D. McCabe, Esq., of Virginia, we find the following state ment: It cost Colonel Lee a great and painful struggle to leave the service with' which he had been so long cor'nected. For more than twenty-tive years he had served with ciedit and distinction in the Federal army, and now held in the opin ion of both tho fu-my' and the country the second position in it in point of merit, being regarded as the most fitting succes sor to the veteran Lieutenant-General , to whom he was bound by the strongest ties of love and esteem. If he remained in the Federal service, honor and high military distinction awaited him. The President of the United States, through one of the Cabinet, offered him the immediate command of the army,* and General Scott implored him to remain. Every influence that could be thought of was brought to bear upon the great sol dier to induce him to remain in the Fed eral service. Colonel Lee himself knew that if he complied with these urgent re quests, his military ambit'on would be fulfilled in every thing. He kne w also that if he linked his fate with that of Virginia, suffering and sorrow were in store for him; that from wealth he would descend to poverty ; and that he would be pro claimed to the whole as a traitor by the Government he had loved so well. It was a terrible trial, and had be been in fiuenced by convictions less pure, or a sense of duty less high, ambition would have triumphed. *Statement of Bon. Montgomery Blair, in "the National Intelligeneer," August 9, 1866 There is a woman living in Rush town ship, Susquehanna county, Pa., named Ruth Rosenkrans, aged eighty-eight years and seven months, who is the mother of no less than twelve children, the grandmother of ninety-one, the great grandmother of two hundred and twenty two, and the great-great-grandmother of twenty-four--making in all three hun dred and forty-nine. A family of three hundred anid tifty. A [prolific family indeed. She is now well, and some time ago knit a pair of soc-ks in three days, and is able to do it now. Goodnessgwacious! what a Rush ing town. From being the progenitor ofsuch a family, the Saints deliver us. That woman did not care if corn were worth ten dollars a bushel, Think -of it, a family of' three hundred and fifty., Whbew! *Leigh. Hunt says; 46od -made both tears and laughter, and .both for kind purposes'; for, as laughter enables mirth ad-surprise to breathe fr-eely, so tears enable sorrow iso vent itself patiently. Tears hinder sorrow -from becomir.g despair and madness; and laughter is LOCAL ITEMS. SECURE THE SHADoW.-Teague, ~he Artist, (a capital one by the'was,) will not remain here lopger than the present week, so if you. Want a good. picture taken for a .itle. noney, go at once to the Ambrotype Car. SANITARY-We are pleased' to learn that our indefatigable and worthy town marshal, Mr. M. Miller is out on the "war-path" and will see that citizens have their premises put in healthy order. All accumulations of deleterious matter must be disposed of, and yards, cellars, etc., cleaned out. All violations will be reported. BooTs, SHOES, BROGANS, ETC.-ThOS3 in need of well-made, good fitting, and handsome boots, shoes, bootees, ties, slippers, brogans, etc., etc., will call upon McMetts, at I. M. Suber's "Shoe House," as it is "the" place. Mac is now opening' cases of superb goods in the above line at popular prices. THAT HAT.-Not the hat of last im portation, and for which no invoice has yet been received, but the other hat, the hat kindly sent in, to cover the bald head editorial, is very much appreciated. The Captain hrs "done us proud." We intended the puff to be all on his side but we are puffed up by it, and unless a counter influence be applied in the same happy manner, an attack of big head must inevitably result. AUCTIoNEERIG.-Like every other pro fession, calling, or business, that of auc tioneering is susceptible of being brought to a high state of dignity. We have mer chant princes and why not princely auc tiones; among the latter we may safely class Gen. H. H. Kinard, and without flattery too. His reputation is wide spread, extensive; a big sale without the General as its presiding genius, turns out a sorry affair after all. Property under his educated hammer always brings the price if it is to be had. He will have a sale on the 15th. BLEASE & WRIGHT.-These gentlemen are opening a splendid stock of tin ware and house-furnishing goods. Among the thousand and oue things in their store, are beautiful tea waiters, coffee roasters' preserving kettles, all styles; coffee mills, spice boxes, spoons, knives and forks, chamber-setts, and stoves; and, in fact, nearly everything in the tin and iron line, for house and kitchen service. They also manufacture to order ; and MEND neatly,cheaply and expeditiously from a tin-cup to the roof of a house, provided it's (the roof,) covered with tin THE TABLEAU of Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress, statuary and a series of comic pictures drew a large audience to the Court House on Monday night last. Our readers are doubtless familiar with Bun yan, and it is needless to say more than that the pictures exhibited were faithful delineations of the principal scenes in this highly interesting allegorical history. The representations of statuary were very good, while the comicahities called for shouts of a[ proval from the boys and girls. It is the design of the proprietors to visit Laurens and other towns, and we wish them a success equal to their merits. GooD.-The Columbia Phoenix says that the self-examining Society has pro pounded the folkzwing queries. As the questices propounded affect the Press generally, and are of great interest at the present period, we press it on the attention of the people embraced in this seetion. Other papers will please do the same: Does it cost anything to print a news paper ? How long can a printer afford to fun nish a paper without pay ? Do printers eat and drink and wear anything? -If so, how do they get it? Do I owe for my paper ? Is not this particular time a first-rate time to call and.pay up. T HA-r DINNER-and a capital one it was too from what we learn-to which we were invited on Saturday last, by Mr. John Kinard, keeper of the poor house, and son of our worthy P. M. Mr. S. P. Kinard, and to which unfortunately we did not go, passed off as all such festive occasions do, in a happy manner. We regret very much not being able to go and . participate in the good cheer so liberally provided, and an invitation so he.artilv extended, the more so, that fully expecting us, the many good things under which the wide spread table groaned were kept waiting a full hour beyon<d the set time. Mr. Kinard will please accept our apology, the effort was made but failed. Nex t time we'll certainly be there if so kindly invited. WBAT WE HAYE sEEN-And \yhat every one else may see, and which they will see to their advaxjtage, jf our advice be taken,-the spring stock-of clothing for men and boys at Mes?rs. Wright & Coppock's. Their stock ~is elegant in point of style and finish, and unapprogh able for c,heapness. Pricing the various articles (all we could do) we .were sur prised at the great fall i'n goods in their tine, from the rates of last year. Any one but an editor can now afford to4dorn the'outward xman~or boy handsomely Wright & Coppock will give a irr that will surr. Our advice therefore is that a visit be made at once to their establish ment, and an bcular examination institu ted, and if you cominot out with a bun. die under your arm and a satisfaction THE MEfr,G.-The temperance meet ing on Friday night last, at the Court House, was the largest and most respec table we have had the pleasure of 'seeing since old Lang Syne. At an early hour, the.brilliantly 'ighted and tastefully -dec orated hall was filled to overflowing with ladies and gentlemen. - Being called to or der by President H. H. Kinard, the meet ing was opened with prayer, by the Rev. W. S. Black, after which the orator for the occasion, Rev. J. P. Smeltzer, delivered an eloquent and pointed address. Other addresses and appeals were made, when the books were opened, and a call for signatures. A little backwardness and timidity seemed manifest on the part of the young mett, upon which the ladies were invited to come up and set an ex ample. An immediate and hearty re sponse was the effect, when a pleasing alacrity took the place of former timidity among "sinewy forms," and the pledge to abstain from the "cup which ine briates" was taken by a large number. The example here set by the ladies de serves particular commendation. What would we do without woman, the fist in love, the first in peace, the first to en courage and the last to desert a good cause. This society, organized but ten days since by five or six men, who see ing the folly of their course, determined to indulge no more in liquid l oisons, but to make water, "sparkling and bright" their future beverage, now numbers one hundred and seven members. Out of weakness cometh strength, for there is strength in numbers.- We wish the So ciety God speed. On Friday night at the same place and hour, another meeting will be held, and addresses delivered by the Revs. Black and Huff. The public are invited to at tend. We woulu suggest, to give ad ditional interest to the occasion, that an ode he sang, immediately after the open ing prayer, either "Sparkling and Bright" "Come sign the vow" or any other which may be thought appropriate. LooK oL-r.-Our readers are fimiliar with the old story told of the Captain of a Canal boat, who when passing under a lock or bridge would cry "look out," a precaution to the passenger lest his head should suffer a collision. His object was to have them look in and not out. Just so must the order of our friends Mayes & Martin be construed. Their cry to the public is to look out, while their desire is for them to look-in. They are in want of' a number of colts ; for what purpose we cannot imagine, but we believe from the high character these gentlen4en sust-iin that they have no evil design in view. Had they said "40 grey horses all in a row" one might believe they wanited to "land on -the other side of Jordan4" to "git up and git" from the "destruction bill" and its consequences. Perhays they want to start a circus, or present) that number of colts to Mike Lipman, who only had nine all told, and one gentleman cow.- Whatever the ob ject we beg our farmer friends to first look out over their- stock for what can~ be sparedjand then look in on M, & M Parties in need of Bacon or Cor-n will sim ply look in, as there is no use in looking ouganf where else in hope of being bet ter suited, when Mayes & Martin are in the field. "SMALLToRK." - We don't like long talkers, never did and never will, unless they have something to talk about; even then don't take kindly to them ; don't like them in our office when there is work to be done, nor care to meet them on the street when we are aaer a delin quent sub. or a slow-paying ad., or when going to dinner ; in fact at no time. They are bores of the worst species, and give us the fidgets ; we'd as soon bave the itch, or tic doloreux; as soon listen to a forty-air, out of tune hand organ, or the midnight caterwaulings of cross-grained cats. When two of-this character meet it is so excruciating that our legs run away with us. The-consequences to the parties themselves sometimes result hap pily, as for example a correspondent of the Reformed Presbyterian says: "We heard a story lately, of two men in Georgia, talking each other to death. These men entered Judge D's office, and, to get rid of them, he left the office for a time, p.romising to return. But he did not return until morning, and then found one of his loquacious friends on the floor with his tongue hanging out, saying, 'take him off-take him off,' while-the other was down on his knees still able to whisper in the dying man's ear. "This story must be somewhat colored. It may 'be founded oi fact,' for such talk ative men may be found beyond the Georgia Territory. Such men may be men of sense, but they talk a little too much. It is the 'babbler' who rants and talks without rhyme'and reason, that is t,he fool. Solomon asks 'who hath bab bhngs?' and the answer is, -'they that tarry long at the wine, they that go to sekmixed wine.' It gas remarked by some one, after hearing the address in the Court House, on last Friday night, in the course of which a very intefesting little. itory of a little dog, whose tail took it into its head, or rather tail, to curl; "that a temperante address would be 'incomplete wvithout a dog story, that he had never heard one without." Be it so - or not. Here's a story told at an anti-temperance meeting, and as it hangs upon a little dog, we give it a place, with credit to the Pres 'yterian also : "A friend of ours was once on a jour ney, perhaps a missionary tour, and stopping for the night was ushered into "I can tell you; it was a little yellow dog with a black stripe down its back." Doubtless our missionary was ready to exclaim,. "Who bath babbling ?" and if he had called for the 'fool killer" he would have found two victims to exe cute." - Latest News Items. The news from Mexico is that it is sup posed that Maximilian will be captured at Queretero. The Liberals are in full force around Vera Cruz, expecting the enemy to assault. Reported that Diez has attacked Puebla, gained possession of the outer works and the greater portion of the city, the Im perialists being reduced to the plaza and c -ntral square. Capturing Pue' lla he will be free to march to the city of Mexico, which city it is said will soon be taken. Stevens is ill from disease of the heart. A Dispatch from Washington says that Santa Anna is organizing a filibustering force for the invasion of Mexico. A Convention irrespective of color was held in Chattanooga on the 6th, 500 colored, 300 whites attended. Colored gentlemen made enthusiastic and highly colored speeches, white gentlemen followed suit; all union. The impression prevails that the Supreme Court -. not entertain the Mi,sissippi com plaint. Impeachment investigation suspended till May. In Augusta a mass meeting of freedmen is called for Wednesday. GovETxoR ORR's FAREWELL PARTY. Saturday night Gov. Orr gave a small dinner paity at the Mills House to a few friends. Among the guests were General Sickles, General Scott, Colonel Smith, Ex,Governor Magrath, Lieutenant Governor Porter, Hon. Charles H. Simonton. Governor Worth, of No, Carolina, General Garlington and others. [M ercury. A special to the Baltimore Sun says Gen eral Griffin recommends the removal of Gov ernor Throckmorton, of Texas; General Sheridan agrees-with him and suggests the removal of the Governor of Louisiana. Gen eral Grant. in reply, doubts the General's power to remove Governors, and thinks re movals must be made by Congress, or after trial under the sixth section. Rev. T, S. Arthur, recently tried at Green, ville, by an Ecclesiastical Court, for unmin' isterial conduct, has been sentenced to a sus pension of five years from ministerial duty. The charge embraced nine specifications. The accused was found guilty of one. Gen. GeorgeW . Randolph, late Secretary of Wari of the.Confederate States, died re cently in Virginia. He was a distingnished man, and loved by all. The Grand2Chapter of Royal Arch Masons for the Distri et of Goambia was organized on the 6th. SUSPENDED.-The publication of the Field and Fireside has been suspended. Cause-financial embarrassments. Mr. Wmn. B. Smith has our earnest sympa t"y in his unsuccessful attempt to sus sin his paper. Among other noble ut terances in his va!edictory, we find the following: "Since I purchased the Field and Fire side at Augusta, in October, 1864, my strength, heart and brain have been staked upon its success. It has failed. The failure is no work of mine, which I could show by a word now, if I choose ; but 1 leave it to be exhibited by the se quel, which is as certain as doom. I am made very poor in this world's goods, but I am rich in conscience. So there is no shrinking within, no shame nor fear without." THE TORTURE OF A TYRAT~.-Notbing can exceed in dread and horror the pic ture of the last days of the Emperor Cali gula, as drawn by Suetonius. "The Em peror," says the historian, -'was torment ed by nervous irritation, by sleepless ness; for he enjoy-ed not more than three hours' nocturnal repose, nor even these in pu -e, untroubled rest, but disturbed by horrid phantasms; as, for example, he sawv the sea, under some definite shape, talking w'it.h himself! Uence it was that he had fallen into the habi tof rang ing all night long through the palace, sometimes wandering through the vast corridors, watching for the earliest dawn, and anxiously evoking its approach. SU?sPENDING ELECIoNs.-The Rich mond papers, of Wednesday publish an order from Gen. Scofield, which sus pends all elections, whether State, Coun ty or municipal, under the Provisional Government of Virginia, until the regis trat ion provided for by the Act of Con gress, March 23d, 1867, shall be comn pketed. "Vacancies which may occur in the meantime will be filled by temporary ap pointments, t o be made by the Command ing General." A volcano in the moon is said to be in active eruption. The crater called Linne has been lately observed to be obscured, and it is said the same darkness was ob served on this spot in 1788. The Lon don Spectator says :-"The impression is that an eruption is going on. but if so, must not the moon have an atmosphere? Could combustion take place without oxygen? Would the smoke-the car bonic acid gas-rise without some heavier gas, like atmospheric air, to rise in '" No DANGER OF Co~NscATIoN.-The Grirnn Star says the Yankees are alto gether too shrewd a people to confiscate. our lands as long if we fblla. our pres ent system of business ; for they already get everything valuable that we raise on our farms, and we buy everything we wear from them, and everything we eat, except a little turnip salad-a'nd. if thei Yankees would send that here for sale, our people would quit raising it. The Paris Patrie contains a most mys-. terious anecdote." Young married wo man, rich, elegant, lovely,. on the point of death, to her husband-; "I must con-' fess something. You'll be ast"nished that I have proved -unfaithful." To which the following reply : "Not more astonishe d than you will be to hear that I nwit, adfrti esnpioe you." COMMERCIAL.
