ooonsiou, but L must bo permitted to express
?ty hopo that wc may follow tho example
which bas boon so eloquently alluded to this j
afternoon, and which h is been so dearly set i
by thc illustrious dead. Whoo wo look on
yon battle hold, I think of thc bravo men on
both sides who foll in tho norco struggle of
battle, who sleep silent in their graves. Yes,
who sloop in silence and poaco aftor thc earn
est conflict has ceased. Would to (?od wo of
tho living could imitate their example, as they

Thero is ample room there for 50,000,000

cheap land, a genial clinic, and employment
for every sort of industrial capacity. Now
that a good harvest has delivered thc South
from faialue, and her reconstruction is in rap

Unless all thc laws which havo hithorto gov- j

Not that thc blacks will fail to increase also,
but they arc nowise recruited hy immigration,

Tut: AUTUMNAL F.QUINOX.-AS the
equinoctial storms are now upon us, wo copy
tho following interesting article from tho
" Charleston News :" - I'hocnix.
" About the 21st of September, the cliptic,
or great circle which the sun appears to de
scribe in thc heavens in the course of the
year, crosses the terrestrial equator. The
point of inters- ction is called the equinoctial
point, or the equinox, because nt that period,
from its position in rolutiou to the sun, the
earth, ns it revolves on its axis, has exactly
one-half of its surface illumined by thc iun's
rays, while tho other half remains in dnrkness,
producing the phenomenon of equal day and
night, all over tho world. . Tliene periods
aro termed, from tho seasons in whioh they
occur, tho autumnal and vernal equinox. At
this time the sun rises about six o'clock in the
morning, and sets nearly the same time in tho
evening, Tn thc notional equinox the t un
is passing from North to South, and oon.se
qucntlyfrom this poriod thc days in tho North
ern hemisphere gradually shorten until thc
21st of December, the winter solstice is reach
ed, from which season they gradually length
en to tho spring or vernal equinox, on thc
21st of March, when day and night are ogain
equal. AH is well known, both thc autum
nal and vernal equinoxes are distinguished
over thc world by tho storms that prevail at
theso seasons. Tho origin of suoh atmos
pheric oomtootions has novcr been very sat
isfactorily explained, but is supposed to ariso
from tho united tidal action of tho sun and
.;V.v moon on tho atmospheres; an action which nt
tho timo of tho equinoxes is oxcrted with
greater force than at any other period of tho
year.

Saturday Morning, September 28, 1867.
, ? New Volume
Tins number commences thc third volume
of tho COURIER since- the war. Prom a small
ftVio'ct, wc have n turned to tho size attained
in former years. This has not been accom
plished with?ut severe effort and considerable
outlay. Our patronage, though not ns largo
as?n former years, is steady and Constantly
increasing. A slight effort on thc part of
friends would render thc Cou ni Kl?, moro re
munerative- enable us thereby to make it more
readable-and one of tho permanent institu
tions of the District.
Politically, on ominous cloud illumes thc
prospect. Put wc arc not without hope. A
brighter day will dawn for this great land, anti
I its host of liberty-loving) energetic people.
Let us have patience with our manifold trials
and troubles; let us ply tho peaceful avoca
tions of life, and bury the past in renewed
conflicts for advancement in thc future. There
is work for all-thc Church, tho Teacher, thc
Laborer. Our District is rich in natural re
sources, let us never tiro in developing them.
Our climate and soil are the favored of tho
earth, let us invite tho laborer and thc arti
san to onrioh us by their labor and skill.
Keeping these things in view, wc shall emerge
from lowliness and poverty, to strength and
pospcrity. Ours shall be the pleasing duty
to assist io passing our people, "dry shod,''
from this pestilent Kgypt, to thc "promised
land.'" Chorus help in the work.
Midi facilities is one of the needs of this sec
tion. Our anomalous condition makes " re
construction," in this matter, difficult; but
exertion is being made to restore mail arrange
ments to their former desirable* condition.
This will greatly enlarge our present circula
tion and increase our patronage generally.
Thc price of tho COURIER henceforth will
be Two Dollars per annum, lt affords an
excellent medium for Merchants and others
to spread their business before the public.
Liboral deductions arc made to those who ad
vertise by thc year. * H
SSyOn tho 21th iustant, in New York,

BOY" The recent proclamation of the Presi
dent, commanding obedience to the laws, has
had thc effect of restoring thc writ of habeas
corpus to the people of Tennessee. Even
Brownlow feels compelled to too the mark,
now that the President has finally put h ia foot
down.
?CtT In Charleston, on the 20th instant,
cotton sold at from li) to 22 J cents per lb;
corn, 81.45 per bushel ; flour, 811 to $12.50

Twelve Mile Camp Meeting.
During the war, tho arbor and tents of thc
Twelve Mile Camp-ground, were consumed
by fire. Recently, tho zealous of thai neigh
borhood resolved to restoro this place of wor
ship to its wonted condition. And right well
have they succeeded. A spacious arbor has
been erected, and also a number of large, com
fortable tents.
On Thursday, thc 19th instant, religious
S jrviocs commenced. For years thc condition
of the country practically prevented theso ex
ercises, but now thc bright hope of tho church
was again to bo realised-tho workings, of'her
government wero again to bo complete.
A largo number of persons wero in atten
dance. Thoy were, in thc main, rcsr-otful
and attentive ; giving earnest nudience to tho
vital truths,.tho eloquence, and consolation,
which flowed from tho ministry thero.
Twenty-nine persons woroadded to tho church
Thc meeting was dissolved on Mondny..

Military Orders.
Tho first ordor of Goo. ?.A^UX,requires all
pereVms in Confederate service, not pnrolcd, to j
report et tho noarost military, post for that
purpose. Wo published thia ordor last week.
Oon. SICK i,KS issued au important ordor in
relation to investments in Confederate securi
ties just before'his removal. ^It relates spe
cially to Ndrth Carolina, buFlho principle
enunciated may rule herc also.\jlt appears on

Tho next is nu order from Gen. CAN?IY 'n
relation to the composition of juries. A mun
must be qualified, (hnvo paid Iiis taxes) aud
registered, to enable him to sit on a jury.
New juries will have to bo drawn before

nu enabling order permitting thc juries ns now
drawn to serve. This order also appears in
this issue.
Charleston,
Thc Fall Trade has opened briskly In this
city, says the "Courier;" the wholesale es
tablishments of Meeting, Ilnyue and East
Bay-streets- aro teeming with stocks of goods
embracing ovory variety to be found in any
commercial centre, and merchants are flock
ing boro from every portiou of this oud the
adjoining States to ronow IjJ^onss relations
with their old friends, nno/py)otioally to de
monstrate their appreciation of tho streuuons
and successful efforts which have been made
to vend goods in this city, at prices as low and
on terms as favorablo ns can bo. had in New
York or any of thc cities of th? North. The
aspect is promising in tho extreme, and the
glad preon of " life in the old land yet" may
be exultantly chanted in responso tb the croak
ers who have heretofore prognosticated the
departure of trade from our midst. This grat
ifying condition of affairs has legitimately re
sulted from thc intelligent, enofgetic and per
tinacious exertions which have been, and aro
stilt bein?; made by our merchants to retain
and amplify their mercantile connections with
tho peoplo of tho interior on a basis at once
liberal and mutually profitable, and in it is
to bo easily discovered thc fruition of an
enterprise for which they have always been
justly credited anda heak.iy Male of com
mercial integrity that has ever - .characterized
this business community.
As a market,1 Charleston hafi.no superior
south of Baltimore, and no competitor that
can offer as many inducements to traders.
She is, by well managed steamship lines, in
almost daily communication with Boston,
Philadelphia, New York, Baltimore, Savan
nah, and the principal cities in tho u Land of
Flower?," whilst hy railroad she is wedded to
ne irby every town and village of importance
in the Carolinas and Georgia. Besides the
facilities sho affords for tho prompt and easy
transmission of freight, there arc to be found
attractions sufficient to secure her a monopoly
of the business of the whole country, to which
lier harbor is thc1 natural outlet, and which
could illy be enumerated in the limits of au
editorial notice. Not the least of these de
serving the thoughtful attention of those un
acquainted with the fact", must be mentioned
the ability, anxiety and determination of her
merchants to sell tftttir goods nt figures which
will destroy ho illusion that purchases can be
marlo more qdynnt-WAomry nt.tl*^i*-?-?tl?- '.' It
is in evidenco t!itiT"Juiol. is not thc case, but
rather that time, trouble and expense is saved
by our country friends who come to this city
to lay in their stocks. Another argument of j
groat weight in our favor is to be found in the
accommodation that' is granted to men of |
known st inding and business reputation, how
ever limited their transactions-an accommo
dation not to be obtained in Northern cities,
where IIIPII nre skeptical about a stranger's
promise to pay."
As to the variety of articles of every de
scription which can bc bought, the stores
themselves aro eloquent witnesses. We do
not remember ever having seen better select
ed, larger or more diversified collections of I
goods thon now fill the large establishments of |
Mayne, Meeting and Fast Bay streets, and
when it is remembered thal these can be had
as cheaply here as anywhere else in the Uni
ted States, can be shipped wi thin'twenty-four
hours to any part of South Carolina, and in
twice that time as far West as Montgomery,
and may bo relied on as being all they arc rep
lesentcd, we can well understand' why thc
city ?s being flooded'Uith trades people, and
her merchants are reverting ?? the,very reas
onable expectation of raising her speedily from
her ashes, and re-establishing more firmly than
ever before her rights to the patronage and
support of thc interior trado.
The Ladies' Fair,
At Greenville, on the 7th, 8th and Otb in
atant, for the benefit of tho Baptist Church in
that place, promises to bo a most agreeable af
fair. The Church is In debt nnd sees nooth
er way of balancing thc claim. Then givethe
Fair a trial. Everybody is expected to be
there, and tho managers seem determined that
n> ono shall "go away dissatisfied." Tho
i 1th has boon set apart, very properly we
think, for tho colored people.

Northern vs. European Emigration.
Earnest and well directed efforts arc now
being made on the continent by Gen. WAU
KN KI?, tho Commissioner of Immigration of
South Carolina;, through the two agents so
journing and traveling abroad, to secure an
influx of hardy European agriculturists, says
the 14 Daily Chronicle;" and there rs some
reason to believe that, during thc coming full,
the State will be partially remunerated for its
experimental investment of tcu thousand
dollars.
,*TllO amount appropriated wis too small to
kocooiplish.grout results ; but lo the best of
his judgment, thc Commissioner bas applied
it in such a manner us to produce both pres
ent and prospective benefit. A pamphlet de
scriptivo of tho State and its resources, bas
boon published, trausnlatcd into one or more
languages, and distributed freely. Tho in
terest of whole communities iii Germany and
Denmark hus thus been excited.) and thc re
ports mudo by agents jiive promise of ono or
moro ship-loads of emigrants before thc close
of thc year, and of tho establishment of ?> lino
nf steamers between Europe and thc city of j
Charleston.
Encouraging ns is thc prospect, however,
we have more faith itt thc speedy settlement
of owr waste places by Northern and Wes
tern farmers, than in an extensive and imme
diate immigration from abroad. Thc letters
of inquiry received herc, and elsewhere, from
various sections of thc country, and thc pur
chases- and removals already made, prove con
clusively that thc attention of the people of

climate and fertile soil Wc offer induce
ments which do m t exist even on tito rich
pr.iiries of thc West. Our crops arc just as
abundant, and more lucrative. Our railroads,
penetrating every section of thc State, secure
to us accessible markets. Our staples, there
fore, command the highest pri?es. Cotton,
rice, tob?ceo, fruits and carly vegetables, are
products on which the thrifty farmer can
always rely. Our lands are cheap, and light
ly taxed. Mines of thc most valuable char
acter arc only awaiting development, and wa
ter power invites manufactures without limit.
Wo need, however, a corresponding decree
of enterprise among ourselves. These emi
grants must be met. half way. Tbr owners of
large tracts of lund should bo willing to. dis
pose of portions, of them at reasonable'pt ices,
and society should receive these ncw-comcrs

ly the great West, towns arc created almost
in a day. Lots of t wenty, fifty and hundred
acres aro divided and sub divided j maps arc
made, and thc property is purchased by tho
speculator, whose interest it then becomes to
people his possession. And how f Why, he
gives away an alternate quarter of n section
to every emigrant who will make it his per

j AUGUSTA, September 23.-Judge Reese, 1
j of thc Svtpevior Court, writes to Gen. Popo
! that he cannot carry out the recent jury or
' ders-the same being in violation of thu hots '
of Georgia and of the State and Federal Cnn- t
stitutionS. Jndge Reese claims that, registra. \
timi is entirely optional, and not compulsory./. W?h
and because men who may bo otherwise loyal
citizens do not register, this is no reason why [
they should be excluded .from serving on a (
jury. J
Gem Pope replies that ?he military hills I
'jrive him the right to set aside any law of tho
State tv hielt oonw.x. m conflict with the milita
ry bills. Orders 53 ano! 55 were issued by
virtue of the power ves-ted in him Ky Con
gress j and he considers the jury orders neces
sary to the execution of the Reconstruction
Acts, which becomes laws in the manner pro
vided hythe Constvt nt ion. As tho question
is constitutional, and has been presented to * .
the Supreme Court, and that tribunal has iii?- W
citied it had no jurisdiction, the further con- '?*
si dora lion of that question by subordinate niiU I
itary or judicial officers is scarcely admissnblo. ^>
Gen. Pope cotieludes by requiring Judge /
Reese to carry out his orders. m
Reese, ill a second letter, goes over similar m
ground ; avowing at ttbe conclusion, that he V
cannot conform to lupe's orders, but shall ?
continue the duties of his office as heretofore, \
till prohibited. J
Pope then requested Roesc to resign, which ;?
ho refuses to db ; but considers his letter ns ?
positive prohibition against the further execu
tion of judicial power.
