John C. Rowc, on tho plantation of the latter, I cannot ns, .a \mv friend'to thorn, and a sympathizer with the colored population generally of our country, re frain from asking tho indulgence of your valua ble journal for a Brief publication. i / ^ho barbecue was conjointly furnished by the laborers of both tho abovo mentioned plan tations,* besides,'tho contribution by Miss Mar chant and Capt. Rowq of one beef. About half past two o'clock; dinner was an nounced-by Frederick Vanzcgo and Harclus (EHiott, of Capt. RoWo's place ; and James Elps and Charles Martin, of Miss Mar chant's. Upon this announcement the whole party, consisting of a fow male whites, and one hun drod and fifty colorod, of both sexes, repaired to the.table quietly, and most orderly. Tt is* useless to state that the table was now groan ing under a most bountiful repast. All being at the tablo, and grace being dclivcrod by , (Capt. Rowc, a general oating was commenced, which, resulted in a perfect satisfaction ns to [the inner man. i This repast was not only gotten up in the nicest stylo, and furnished in the greatest abundnnco ; but cooked so exquisitely, that too much praise cannot be awarded the managers and committee of arrangements. Scvoral speeches were made during the af ternoon, and Lam sorry to state that I only lioard two; but being so highly pleased at the sound judgment and wholesome doctrines urged upon all present, I was pcrfoctly satisfied that tthoso whoso remarks wcro made in my absence, wcro as loyal to the government as myself; and am only sorry that I did not hear thoir expres sions of opinion, that I might be enabled to' repeat.them to the reader. Mr. Vanzego (colored) said : "My frionds and follow-citizcns?wo nro called rebels ; but let us bo called by whatever name, we must ro ot no b ;' ?< _> A t* - ' ? i <i i < bi] jucmbcr that our relation to our country places jUS in close affinity to those with whom wc live. I am unlike Mr. Larkins. He favors confisca tion j' and this oncournges a disposition of in difference, on tho part of all, who look to be ?benafittcd by its result. "Suppose Iris -view to ,bc correct, and confiscation be rcmovec". eight or ten years in the future?will it benefit any of us, uutil it is upon us ? This is the way I would have you consider, my friends. Re member it is a bad doctrine to give up friends, for those whom wc know havo used us as a tool lor thoir own salvation. Wc must sustain tho. friendship of our friends, who now stand by us in tho hour of our necessity. I do not Wish to obtain lands by othor means than through the sweat of my brow.

"By our united efforts and interests, wo have dono much with very small means. Look at ,our District to-day, what does sho present ? I will tell you. Prosperity to all who worked diligently for their bread; and nothing for those who sit about her villages and depots, looking for nothing but laziness as a support." Mr. Harclus. Elliott thou got upon the din ner tablo, (about four feet from the ground.) and said: "My dear friends and acquaintances, 1 am no politician. T am a man who goes in for peace and prosperity at homo and abroad. "What those who look for confiscation lose by setting down, I endeavor to save by turning ground. For 'sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.1 '?'Our interest is at Ivnne, let this be wherever it may; and it follows as a matter of course, that it being ko, wc are closely confederated with those, with whom wo live nnd have to do. I am a farmer, and therefore, going to toll you something about our crop, nnd how \t wo? made. Wlifin wc came on this pluec, what did Mr. Tyler tell us 'I 'That wo must work together witji industry, energy and honesty of purpose ; and we would bo siiDCossful in row ing a good crop.'

Uui from Iub enthusiasm*} of speech aud success in cotton and corn, sir. XIarclus came down without .making any cor rection;' but wheu ho looked at-the height of the tablo after he alighted, he said, "he might tnko off four feet on tho cotton, but the corn was not over-estimated." This onds Mr. Har olus' remarks. , There arc fino crops on both places, besides tho laborers enjoy the cbnfidoiico and recom mendation of Messrs. Tyler and Sandle, who superintend and direct the business of tho re spective plantations . XENOPIION.. SATURDAY, AUGUST 10,1867. While we reserve to ourselves the right of defi ning our men political position by mean* of our editorial columns, we, will be.pleased to publish contributions from our, fellow-citizens upon the grave, questions which now agitate the. public mind, whether their ojdnions coincide with ours or not. A district newspaper, we consider, should be an index, of the various shades of pop ular sentiment in the section of country in which it. circulates. Our columns arc. open, therefore, for nny communications properly written, accom juntted by a responsible name, not personal in their character, nor absolutely injurious in their tendency. A Few Plain Words. Our readers will sec, iu various places in our present issue, an important word?REGIS TRATIOX. . Now, it will bo well for tlum to pay very particular attcutiou to it: for it may become, to each and everyone of them, nt no very distant day, a matter of dollars aud cents, of acres of land, and of light or heavy taxes. "We have urged upon our fcllow-eitizcus the ab solute necessity of claiming the privilege of the elective franchise. We deem it needless to indulge further iu lengthy arguments. Enough has already becu said on tho subject to convince every man of common souse; and wo do not know of a siugle prominent man iu South Carolina, from Governor Perry to the most submissive reconstruct ion ist, who docs not advocate that every one should register, I whether he votes or not. Now, onn word more, and we are doue. Do not come to the conclusion, that you arc dis franchised, bccauso.you shouldered a musket, and tried to achieve the independence of South Carolina. Do uot imagine you arc disfranchised, because you sympathised with the rebellion, so called. Do not imagine you arc disfranchised be cause 3*ou held some little District appointment twenty years ago, that everybody, yourself in cluded, had forgotten, till you studied about it in tliis crisis. If yisu have any doubt about tb i matter of your rights, go to the Board of -Registration at the nearest poll, and state your case. They have J nil power "to decide the ques tion for you, subject to an appeal to General Sickles. By giving the Boards such power, Congress, we think, conferred a favor on the people of the South ; for every man. who reg isters upon tho advice of the Board, is hereby aafo from any prosecution for perjury. Ho cannot be guilty of wilful and corrupt perjury, if be acts in good faith, upon the construction ol the law, by those whom Congress has in vested with that mithorW.u So wc hope our friends will, every man of then? i'Aina fnrmoi..l, ?...l ,-41.?:.
