Wednesda Morning, May 29, 1867. Gen. Sickles vs. Whiskey. The distillation or manufacture of Whiskey or other spirits from grain, by the timely order of Gen. Sickles, is pro hibited in this Military District, and the possession of a still or other apparatus for this purpose will be considered pre sumptive evidence of a violation of the Revenue Laws, and the party or parties using the same or on whoso premises they may be found, will be held triable by a Military Commission for misde meanor. All tronps of the United States, Magistrates, Sheriffs and other civil officers are required, and all citizens are solicited to be vigilant in detecting and prompt in giving information of the violation of this order. Public Me6ting at Camden. The Camden Journal contains a notice of a public meeting held at Camden, on Saturday, the 18th inst., by invitation of h portion of the colored people of that town. The meeting was addressed by the Hon. James Chesnut, Gen. J. B. Ker shaw, and Gen. Jno. D. Ke:nedy. These gentlemen all took the same ground, and their speeches were replete with good ad vice to their colored friends. They con ceded to them the rights and pri%iieges which had been conferred upon them by the kietneasures of Congress, and urged them to exercise them with caution, so that their mutual interests might be pro tected. These gentlemen were followed by sev eral colored speakers, amongst them, Rev. Ben. Lawson, whose speech the Journal says, was "characterized by strong sense, excellent feeling, good taste and judgment, and great originality and humor." lie said that he trusted them (the white people) and would labor with them to promote harmony a'nd good feel ing, and raise up South Carolina from the dust, make her fields teem with corn, cotton and rice, and cause her to bloom and prosper." We wish we had space to publish these proceedings. A Suggestion-Help your Neighbors. It has been suggested to us that we make a public appeal to the citizens of this district, and urge upon them the ne cessity of a regular and systematic ad ministering of contributions of food to the sudering ones in this district, that all who really need mfay receira aidl, and that the burden fall not on a few. The suggestion is, tbat in each neighborhood, say in a comp~ass of five miles, all the families meet together and form them selves into a society, whose duty it should be to ascertain who the needy arc and tbeir number, and that each member con tribute of his or her means, a proportion each month of a sufficient qnantity to sustain their poor and hungry neighbors, taking receipts for the rame, to be exhib ited at each ineeting. We believe tae plyi to be a good one, aind unless a better be presented, earnestly urge its adoption. Any plan looking to the amelioration of the destitute can not he otherwise than good, but unless a regular system be pur sued it is liable to work to the disadvan tage of some. One or two bushels of corn per month from each neighbor, will in most cases be amply sufficient, and will not be missed by them. We can not but believe that the supplies sent through public channels, fail to reach all the points intended, though su@cient to cover all cases. Let the district by all means take care of its own poor. A public meeting might be held preparatory to, or for the purpose of organizing neighborhood so cieties. We trust that the suggestion may be acted on. Gen Wagener's Address, Delivered at Darlington, upor the sub ject of Immigration, is a terse and com prehensive paper, and contains sonme in teresting statements on the subject of manufacturing, it concludes with a muerited trib ute to the suffering people of our State, wro, though shattered in fortune, are vet hopefully striving to re gain their former prosperity. We nill not mar the merits of the spaztch by K making extracts fro.m it, but will present it entire at an early day. The initiail steps in the scheme of im migration are the imost di cult. Our people must not be too anxious to realize immediate profits anj personal interests, but rather work for general and ultimate good, by offering inducemie:ts for imi gration; good wages, good for, &c., to laborers, and cheap lands to; purchasers. Once the tide turns South, it w,ill con tinue, for the first settlers becomning sat istied, will draw their friends and rela tves after them. Without a system of ilabor we are undone. In order to estab lisa well regulated labor. it is essential first thmat we cease str:v ing to get rich2 l:astily ; then ivite immigration ina I beral spirit, and raise food for the Ia torers. Sell or rent lands at low prices and await the process of recuperation H!ome industries andi an enriched soil will enhance values and conduce to gene ral and ultimate prosperity. Genera Wagener truly observes that the Germar immigrant would~ coasider the most lib eral allowance of corn meal and pork, a. almost absolute starvation," accustomes as he is to his thick, hot soups, coffee and milk, leavened bread of rye flour, but ter, Irish potatoes, peas, beans, cheese smoked sausage, &c., with: occasiona messes cf beef, mutton, and a ration o beer, &c. They rise early, are very h..mty frua and laborious, and wil reminds us of the song of the man who, fed upon "butter milk and whey, fainted all day." But give him "bacon and eggs, then look out for your legs," as he wields the scythe blade. The State must foster immigration and the industrial pursuits, and supply her self with manufactured goods ; also horses' sheen, swine, provisions, &c. Now is the time to move in the matter, and form district associations. The State can be made truly prosperous under healthful systems of labor. Houston (Texas) Journal-Daily and Weekly.

A greater breadth of land un d'.r cultivation-but icss cotton than last year, and a great deal more grair. The Journil says that the utmost energy is displayed by planters, who, having found out that corn and not cotton is king in the South, are on the sure road to fortune, prosperity and ease. The same paper also says that gold discoveries on the Pecas River, and coper ore on the Wichita and Concho, are hurrying many good farmers off in search of the hidden treasure. The Jiurnai thinks that if people will leave Texas (the best country in the world) the next best place to the Lone Star State is British ilonduras, which is considered the El Dorado of the extreme South-we,t.

The New York Tribune of the 9th contains a page of what the .~.,i h;, [For the Herald. Ma. ETon: The journalists who have commented on the letters of Gov. Perry have treated him with great tenderness. While condemning his policy, his sentiments and honesty, and we believe his consist ency, too, have been much applauded. He is presented as a model of the virtues of the statesman, without the policy of a states man. Well ! to this we do not object. We like fair criticism,-would rather praise than blame, and we abhor abuse, even in a newspaper. Dut pray what has Gov. Perry's patriotism, consistencv, or even sentiments however lofty, to do with the question which evoked these epistles from his scornful pen ? Patriotis:n without discretion, sentiments wi:hou: sense, and consistency without rea son, would be very poor guides in these sad, di:jointed :imes. Out of these qualities you might man'iacture a political zealot, but not a statesman. We have no doubt that Gov. Perry loves his country nor do we distrust his fidelity to the Union. That has been the great ofject of his wor ship through life, and I suppose that he will prove true to it to the last "As the sun-flower turns to her God when he sets, The same look whi(h she t:rned when he rose." The late Provisional Governor's love of the Union, in days gone by, amounted to a passion. We well remember that the feel ings of joy which were exhibited at his gi:ing in his adhesion to the cause of the late Confedgracv, were exceeded only by the surprise which some felt that he should have taken that step. His was considered a most important accession to the secession ranks, not because of any high esteem of his l'olitical knowledge or statesmanship which prevailed, but because he was believed to be an honest, but, before that time, mis guided patriot, and that having been the most prominent Union man in the State, his influence would tend to reconcile his party to the policy which the State had adopted. Hence it was also that he was so much honored ;-his antecedents were known far and wide,-his claims were rec ognized at Pchmionrl.' He became the re cipient of Executive patronage, the two highest appoin'ments in the State which the President had the power to make. When he was invested with the robes of office, little did tha country or the Governor imagine tl at Davis was putting on him the shirt of Ne sv. The Confederacy in those days was looked upon as a fixed fact, not as now, a bubble bursted. Any one even an old Union man,-a modest man, could then afford to take office. We had r.ot then reached the point where Go'-. Perry told the lamented Gov. .',Ians the State was go ing-we had not then "got to the devil." But things have turned out diff'erently from sybat was then expected. The ,Governor, however, has got on the fatal tuuie ; and by the way, the part he is acting under it, bears a striking resemblance to the conduct of Hercule5, who, when lhe discovered that the fatal poison was penetrating his bones, laid down on his Nemnien lion skin and nide a funeral pyre of himself. It is hard, we .admit, for the Governor to be thus overtki, and so soon, tool a fter he had descended from the high place he la te ly filled under the "second Washington," to be translated to a still higher position by the provisional legislature of 186~5, to fill with Mr. Campbell, in the U. S. Senate, the seats in which Calhoan and Mc Duffie once sat. After liaving been a Union mian alhl his life, and w.th this prospect ahead, to be visited with the terrible consequences of a few short years of political sin, falls very heavily upon the Governor. In all candor we must say, that he is entitled to our warmest, tenderest sympathies. These re flections, with the thoughts of the future of our beloved State which trouble his mind, are sufficient to arouse all the latent feelings of indignation which he has lately ventilated through the press. No wonder that his feelings of patriotism mingled with "that high disdain from sence of injured merit," should prompt him to give utterance to the language of passion and invective against those who are responsible for the present state of political affairs, that they should dictate the fine sentiments for which his letters have been commended. But this is not what we want to hear from political leaders. It -is no advantage to us to be told that Gov. Perry prophesied evil to co Y'ns ye'ars ago, and that that prophecy has been fulfilled, or is about to be ~futif!ed. The gift o4 prophecy,--real propl ecy, such as Isaiah and Elhjah possessed, is a very exalted attribu:e. But their maa tIe has "not come down to our times. There are however in every community, and at all times, would-be-prophets, and they gene rally prophesy evil ; and if it does not come to pass, they are in the humor that Jonah was when he ascended the hill to see the destruc tion of Nineveh b)ut was dissappointed. Thie seems to Ie natural with a prephet-hie wishes his prophecies to be fulfilled, whether they be of good or e' il-and when the event comes, he "Nods his wis2 head, and ci ies,-I told you so.~ We have no doubt that this prophecy of Gov. Perry which is now held up to the State in their desolation and sorrow, as an evidence of I is fir-seeing sagacity and politie s wisdom, was made- by thousands, both North and South, but of course chiefly by those who hoped to see that calamity befall us. It would simply be a vain conceit to base a claitm of merit upon so weak a foundation as this. One who was in favor of the UnTion1 at aill haz.2rds and to the last extremity : who believed that secession was not only a delusion but a crime, if he had kept his faith after fighting the good fight, he might be excused for manifesting feelings of pride at seeing his prophecy of evil ful filled. But for one, who can say of the late revolution, "muagna pars fui ;" who had staked his all upon the issue,-upon the experiment of secession ;after its failure, to cry otut "I t(id you so," to remind us of a prophecy tmade years ago, that "the State was going to the dlevil," if it be not very won~g, is in cur humnble judgm;ent, in exceed ing bad taste. And bes'des, what is still more un ;inmd, if not rude and supercilious, in Gov. Perry, he thanks his God that lie and his brothe:- union men are not as other men are; not as secessionists are, those who advise acquiesence, or submission, if the Gcv. prefers that word, to the tertms of re construction, those "who (he says) are now urging the people to voluntarily swallow the Military Bill, tezardless of honor. prin ciple or consistency." Such self-sufficiency, arrogance, and egotism as are displayed in these let.rers, are rarely to be met with. We will reserve something for another number. MOLLOHON..

The public are requested to attend. NoIsY EL'T ALL RIGHT AT LAT.-The quiet of this locality was much stirred on last Saturday by an unusually hoarse and terrible roaring or rather blowing. Some supposed that a whale had been driven by the last storm up our little Bush river and from thence to Scott's creek, where it runs through the railroad embankment, and was there spouting its last, but on rushing to the spot it was ascertained to be the engine of the Lau rens railroad, which had at last made a run through. Its terrible wbistling was excusable therefore, after so long a si lence. We trust however that it will use more moderation in future, as the fact of its safe passage through is already known and recognized, and the hope en tertained that regular trips will now be made between this town and Laurens. The travelling public will be rejoiced to hear of the completion of the repairs on this road. We congratulate everybody now, that Newberry and her noble old sister Laurens are again re-constructed-ac cording to the locomotive. PrasZoNA.-We had the pleasure of a visit last week from Capt. Jas. IIoyt, ed itor of the Anderson Intelligencer, who was en route to the paternal roof at Lau rens. The Captain we found in good health, and the proprietor of a charming companion, and also 'a very excellent miniature edition of himself and lady, in the shape of a 'fat take' about six months old. W e compliment him on his valuable acquisitions, and wish the hap py pair a shower of similar blessings oc casionally. His paper, or papers rather, the Intelli ericer and Carolina Baptist, deserve t ie large patronage bestowed upon them; they ar ably conducted and su stanined. The 'Phiini' Colonel, Mr. T. P . Slider, Esq., formerly connected with the Press of this place, is a visitor here from Char leston, and a representative of the inter ests of the Press of that city. We never saw him looking better, and account for it on the ground of his high living, and the hope of reconstruction. The rava ges made on his person by the six years' Confederate ordeal have entirely disap peared, and he stands to-day, 'by the gods,' a fresher and better looking man than ever. We regret that the blind pianist, whom many of our readers will remember, as having shed bitt'er tears at not being able to see him, in the ould lang sync, is not with us, for he could, were he here now, weep, by St. Jago, with better reason and propriety, for the wonderful improvement in the Col oneT's figure and style, which time has effected. May his shadow increase, and his favorite 'gods' take care of him to the end. TuANs.-" The man who hath not music in his seul is fit for treason, strat agems and spoils," but he who lacks gra tittrde, or a proper appreciation of the little amnenities,. s'.vet courtesies, and smail favors, such as for instance, invita tions to weddings, pie nics, and frolics, or messes of early bean1s, big pdtatoes, ditto beets, strawberries, Mmy cherries, and( other garden productions, is fit for crimes of greater magnitude, that is if he be of that much favored class-an editor ! For, "If there be a crime Of deeper die than all the guilty train, Of human 'vices, 'tis ingratitude." "Lives there a man with soul so dead," who feels no knocking at his ribs, no swelling beneath his vest, when made the recipient of a friendly favor, a gift with "the compliments of the season ?" No ! tar en ty times no ! and again no, scarcely ; that is, we are unacquainted with such an one, he lives not here. We are not, and would rather he dead, or never have been born. Small favors in variably from us elicit large thanks. For instance the last favor received, this Spring one year ago, in the shape of a Strawberry, was noticed very becoming ly, and will ever be remembered. True it was not a nmess, but perhaps it was the only one left, and though we thought it a pity to send it singly and alone, yet the kindness was felt. It was the widow's mite, perhaps. Since that period we have not had occasion to go into ccsta cies, but nevertheless feel that should the occasion offer full justice shall be done ; it is in us, and will come out. As a public character our position is defined, and we believe that gratitude is one of our virtues. FORGOT TO PAY DMS DILL.-An indi vidual, hailing from the huckleberry o, State, about the region of Fayetteville, d and registering as J. D. Williams, in a p fit of absent mindedness, left his bed and IL board at the hotel on Tuesday morning, a after a sojourn of four cavs, without a: settling hi's bill. The proprietor would have given chase, but that the gentleman n left so early in the morning, and before p the worthy proprietor had chased the b slumber from his eyes. He recommends v his brother hotel keepers to be on the t qui vive for him, and as a public bene factor, feeling an interest in his welfare, and fearing some mishap may befall him, offers a reward of $5 for his apprehension. a Ile is described as a small man, dark a skinned, black eyes, iron grey mustache and as wearing dark clothes, taken al together, and in connection with his 0 conduct, a dark individual. Had very s little to say, and carries with him two school satchels, made ofjeans, as baggage, contents unknown. His conduct while at the hotel was mysterious and gave rise to the suspicion that he may be one of those 'philanthropical' lecturers on the situation. MoRE SPICE.-"Oft in the stilly night," "When stars are in the quiet sky," and the "Silver Moon" is roiling majestically along, we think of the many who are "Sitting on a Stile," perhaps "Waiting for the Wagon" to convey them to a "Cottage by the Sea," or plaintively sighing they have "No one to Love no,I to Caress," or in despair wishing they a could land on "The other side of Jordan." We pity their sad condition, and would console them, hence another dish of spice; 'twill do for both sexes. Laugh and grow fat, and "don't be foolish Joe ;' the same advire will do for "Gentle Annie," "Rosa Lee," or the "Wido , Mc Cree."
