CHE ORANGEB?EG NEWS SATURDAY, MAT 15, 1869. TEAD. C. ANDREWS, Editor. MALCOLM I. BROWNING, AisociaU J. FELDER MEYERS, Auoe?tU^ v? To the Headers of the News? Greeting. :r..v.< */:} f.~v.i by t it In assuming tho position of Associate Editor of the Oranqkbcro Nkws, I iBi not ig^oratttjiof ^he ijfaot that I as sume also a part of its responsibilities, but these; responsibilities I take upon; myself with a firm and settled intention of carrying out so fur as is practicable, the views already held out through its col umns. In short, my position may ho defined by the tone which it has maintained from time to time, yet n more specific definition h afforded in its motto, Qod and our Country. That it is worse than useless to bewail the issues of the dead past is a foregone conclusion in my mind, and that this is the honest conviction of nine men out of every ten who are not slaves to the mem ory, and monstrous prejudices of the past institutions of tho South, I also be lieve, and as we have but very recently emerged from the desolating ravages of an unprofitable and fruitless struggle ior independence, does it not become us to submit ourselves whipped, and go to work to build up and recuperate our im poverished land. Now is no time for wasting labor upon that which cannot profit us, and we should divest ourselves of this party feel ing and party prejudico which seems to hold such a despotic victory over the minds and actions of some mon. Sectarianism and sectarian views aro disastrous in their effects, and as we are living in an age of progress, let us do away with everything that is retrogressive in its na ture, and seize only upon these things which are calculated to promote our wel fare and that of our country. Tho days of Democracy are forever gone?this is evident, as evident as the monstrooity of its absurd doctrffes-^t* last knell has been tolled, and is only heard "now in the far off echoes of the past, and as was said in tho last issue of the Nkws, the ridiculous awkwardness of the defeat of its former devotees to regen erate it in the late Presidential campaign is an illustration of the fact, that any like effort in future will meet with a moro signal and ludicrous failure. We all live iu one common country, and here we have to work out together -our salvation, here write our biographies, and shall they be made up of party strife and discord for those who come after us to seal.with curses and jeers upon our heads ':' Would there not bo more wis dom in spending our endeavors to bring together, and cement the shattered par ticles of our Government, to make it more stronger and invincible, ourselves richer, than to be eternally sowing and cultivating the seeds of discord and dis^ sention for our children to reap the bitter results of, and bemoan uuavailingly our folly? It is nonsense to hug to our breasts the delusions of the past, or cherish democratic memories, for these, all these have passed away, and no matter how sweet to euphony the sound democracy may be, its effects are deleterious, its in fluences upon tho best interests of our country destruotivo. For our individual freedom is now recognized throughout the civilized world, aud justice is boing , disposed, if not strictly in accordance, with the hobby notions of selfish little minds, per force under the law. Yet, we have some neplus ultra ultras, some soi distant wise theorists who thiuk in the conceit of their own opinion that no theory of Government is right but that entertained by themselves, or advo cated by men whoso notions might have suited the times ono hundred yoars ago. But we have progressed, and aro pro gressing, and "glory, freedom aud civili sation have swept these mere mock-birds from the tall boughs on which thoy have been perched so long," and thoy have f?l len to the ground with a heavy jar and disgonent ciosh. It is turn the wounds received in the- decent seems hard, very hard to heal; but why ? Because the remedy offered, the antidote is refused ? "accept tbo situation." But our chief misfortune is we have too many politicians, and some Who seem n?a?j*?g gg^^^^^^^^u^^m^o^ proph^y. In every little. town and vil lage you will find men who pretend to make politics their study, men who will denuneiateothtraas 8callawagsattd lladi cals, when they nro in .reality, too igno rant to define either of1 the epithets. Such men we know cannot bis* the minds of the intelligent?thai they do not try to do, but as absurd as their pre dictions are, there is a certain class of men with whom they find entertainment^ belief, and here the question arises, pro hono publico, which is the best way to rid ourselves of these political impostors, these would-be-philosophers and absurd speculators in the future of our Govern ment; why, by repudiating and discoUn* tenanoing their dogmas. But men know tho future is coming, and they know the present is here, and everything upon its face is so different, so unlike tho old timj anti-slavery South Curolina, that they appear to keep bullying, and bellowing like a boy whist ling in passing a gravo-yard to keep his courage up, and unless they stop this and go to work, and accept things us they are, there will be more hideous apparitions heralded by the future to affright them than ever tradition held, could be seen in some old gray-wornc gruvo-yard of knights and warriors. For tho longer mon iudulge factious feelings and preju dices, the longer, the harder will it be for them to accept the new order of things. But all this can bo avoided if wc would seok a closer union, and avoid all causes for discontent and political dif ferences. And if there are questions to bo discuss ed through and by the medium of the press, let us do it apart from all feeling of vengeance and angry bate, let the press not descend from its dignity by libelling the characters of others, and because men's political opinions are of a different oasto to those who preside over it, proscribe and deuouueo them. It 8hould be upheld by a spirit of magna? [ nimity, and sufficient manliness to do justice, especially to the characters of -espials, andjf it does not, it descends in a groveling tactile from its dignity, and de parts from its high mission. Universal suffrage, political and civil equality arc now settled facts, and for the perpetuation of these will I contend; but to go a stop further, one iota beyond this, it is not my purpose, for all other questions I consider the insanities of dis eased minds, and can never attain dis tinction, nor countenance. But who is such an inveterate devotee I of the past as to assert that ns things now stand they will not ultimately re dound to the interest of our country ? Because tho colored people uro now ig norant, and of consequence mako many blunders, it is no evidence of the fact that they aie not susceptible to improve ment. The more intelligence a country can claim for itself, the more praise and deferenco will it receive from abroad, hence it should bo our highest aims to instruct and educate the ignorant. This is the dictate aliko of Christianity and sound policy. We should deal with the blunders of tho ignorant with a spirit of compassion ate genorjsity, and not one of vindictive hostility. Thus oudoth my "bow" to the fair as woll as grim readers of the News. J. FELDER MEYERS. We take the following from the pro ceedings of the City Council of Charles ton as reported in tho Daily New*. Alderman Greene rose and said that tho two portraits of Generals Leo and Stonewall Jackson, which had hung in the Council Chamber, had been removed, and the removal attributed to Council. He had examined into the matter and found it was not so. The Mayor knew nothing of tho removal, nor did the Aldermen. lie had called on a gentlo man(alluding to Mr. W. II. Smith, Clerk of Council,) and asked him by whoso authority those portraits were placed there and removed. He replied that thoy woro private property, and had been romoved by the same person who put them up. He hoped that a member of the press, to whom theso fucts had been related, would have made tho amende for ascribing in bis paper the removal to Council, but ho had not done so, and' for that reason he had made a true statement of tho facts of the- oace. ; He did' nod wish to introduce politics in Ccuucil, but he had sorved uivrles one of those general?,, and was proud of it, and did not wish to bo known in connection had wrongfully been imputed to Council, j One of those very generals had recently been called into the coajftejla oLjoAfj** tion, and he was not in connection with hi The Mayor said fclidfl' not what had been done with tho pictures J until he had been iWbrtned by other parties. He certainly did not authorise or order them taken down, and after the explanation of tho Alderman of Ward No. 2, he hoped the reporters would do them all justice. Alderman T. J. Maokey rose and said; Mr. Mayor?I cynear, to sonlo extent, with the views of the gentleman in re ference- U> the removal of Jackson's and Lee's portraits from the walls of this Council Chamber. My concurrence however, is only on the question of taste. The portraits, were well executed and! elegantly framed. They were faithful likonosses of two American soldiers, who, however false may have been the poli tical impulsoa that impelled them, have illustrated the msvtial renown and mili tary genius 01 uur country. I shall not grieve, howevor, that their portraits are removed from this chamber. If they were here I would cover them with the veil of a decent and silent charity. And us a solace, I will move that at the pro per moment that where they stood we shall place the portraits of two other illustrious American soldiers?Shormau aud Sheridan. Tho Mayor then remarked, that sufficient hud been said on the subject, and ho left it to the gentlemen of the press present to set them right. Council thou adjourned. ' Errattu, Messrs.

PAYSA^. Peters' Musical Monthly, for May, is to hand, and well sustains the proud title it bears?"The Prince ofj Mnsical Monthlies," for if there is any one periodical adapted to suit the wants of all lovers of music, professional or amateur, it is certainly this Magazine. Tho May number comes to us over flowing with choice new music. There are four now songs, by Hats, Thomas, Danks and Eaton, three piano pieces, and we notice a new feature in the shape of six pages of quartet music, which will prove a valuable addition ; also a dozen or more pages of biographical sketches and reviews of new music, that will be of interest to all musicians. Being largely engaged in the publication of sheet music, Mr. Peters has always a fresh stock from which to make bis .selections, and seems nothing loth to draw from his resources to any required extent to mako tho Monthly what it should be. Besides tho musical sketches j.nd reviews of new music, each number oontaius no less than thirty full sized pages of new rousi by the best writers in the country When music is furnished so cheap, what musician can afford to be without such a publication? Four dob lars worth of good music cannot be picked up every day for thirty cents, aud we feel justitied in saying that a sub scription at three dollars will give as much music (aud good music too,) as you can buy for fifty dollars. This valuable Magazine is published by J. L. Peters, No. 198 Broadway, New York, (P. O. Box, No. 5,429.) I Fatal Caiastrophe in Cornwall Sixteen Persons Killed.?A dread ful catastrophe occurred ou Wednesday evening, the 21st ult., at tho Delubolu slate quarries, situated ou the North OOnit of Cornwall, and about four miles from Tintagol. It appears that part of tho machinery used for hoisting slate and debris fell to tho bottom of the quarry, a distance of 250 foot carrying I with it the ground upon which tho machinery stood. Scores of men wcro working in the bottom of the pit at the time the acoidont took place, no less than sixteen of whom were buried in the ruins. One man was miraculously saved by falling into the cavity of a rock, whoro Iw was found by a body of cx plorors. A ?ttlv girl who? was standing eloso to the machinery ac the time, it foil was hurled from top to* bottom, but strango to say, she escaped unhurt. > Bully. *W r Completion of the Pacific ad.?There was a smack of tbo 1 effect in the announcement that cific Railroad would bo completed Wing n spike of gold into a sleeper' irel, each blow of the sledge being simultaneously recorded in the telegraph offices of New York and San Francisco ; hut there, if an excuse for flourish and display, and it will he hand for the most bombastic speaker to exaggerate the importance of the iron band which con nects the: Atlantic and the Pacific, and as it is the noblest work which Western civilisation has successfully accomplish ed, must hold the first place in the material achievements of the century. It matters but little whether there has beeu stealing and plundering during the building of the road; whether ten men or a thousand have been enriched by contracts or place. All that we need remember is that the Pacific Railroad is completed, that eleven hundred miles of road are ad,l?d to our gigantic railway system, and that the locomotive which pants in the streets of the cities of the East, is never silent until it reaches the shores of the Golden State. Every day has impressed more pro foundly on the popular mind the prac tical utility of tho trans-continental rail road. As it advanced mile by mile, it created towns which must soon enjoy an enduring importance. It has already carried an army of farmers to the fertile lands and pleasant climates of tho West, where they will build up new cities, construct new roads, and in turn, at tract another tide of settlers. It has drawn immigrants from Europe and from Asia. It has placed the mines of gold nnd silver within easy reach of every quarter. It has made Pennsylvania the neighbor of California, and has brought the whole Pacific coast one hundred years nearer to the van of practical pro gress. The Pacific Railroad will populate and developo tho territory lying between the groat riv. r and the great sea?a ter ritory vast in area and rich in every element of greatness. And then its office is but beguu. By mcaus of this now completed railroad the commerce of Eastern Asia will bo poured into the lap of Eastern North Amorici. This trade will bo ours, because by this route it oun most easily fiud a markot, ami because Europe , can draw her supplies ??o t|W4-y>rt^'ertri4w j,i? ?<??? pa>fa v?-? <s^ railroud than by tho uncertain ways of the sea. The commerce of Japan and Australia must also bo ours, and the is lands of tho l'aeific are brought within our grasp. And with the opening of the road of which we speak, tho Pacific railroad system is still in its infancy. Even if tho route of tho Pacific Railroad per mitted it to bo operated without inter ruption throughout the year, it could not for long meet the demands of the trade which will pou? over it with steadily increasing force. Every immigrant who settles on the line of the road, every ton of quarts and ouuee of precious metal, every bushel of corn and wheat, will be an addition to, the business of the line and- the time must and will come when not one Pacific Railroad but many will traverse tho continent, and bring the wealth of Asia and of the whole United States, west of tho great river, to the seaports of the East. First will come tho Southern Pacific Railroad, which will build up Charlestou and Norfolk and Savannah into metropolitan cities, and others will follow in its train until every demand of commerce shall be satisfied, and its every want fulfilled. The course of years alone can show what will be tho extent of the effect produced by the Pacific Railroad upon the prosperity of the country. It must tend to make the whole Union more uOlimgCPCOUS in character, to draw the people more nearly together, nnd, we hope, to destroy that sectional feeling which bids New England thrive though all el.-e piuo and perish. It should give the peoplo larger and broader ideas, and a catholicity of sentiment which now is wholly wanting. There a ill be prosper ity enough for us all. It will not be needful to out tho throat of another to save our owu commercial life. But as tho South is now fur behind in the race, she : hould fill herself with new energy and foreo, aud never tiro until, side by side with the foremost States iu the Uuion, she may press on to that goal of fortune which will roward her, as well as power and riohes may, for all that she has suffered aud all that she has lost.? Charleston Daily New*. Labor Lost.?An organ grinder play ing at the door of a doaf and dumb asy lum. Tho question why printers do not suc ceod as well usbrcwers is thus answered: Because printers (work for the head, and brewers for the stomach, but one has brains. A sentimental chop intends to petition CougroBi fuf a grant to improve the channels of affection, so that bonccforth the course of true love may run smoth. ored thai dispatches in?*6 uv*? received j at Washington in wHich the Mexican I Government proposes to cede to.jUnited States a certain portkm of its territory for a specified sum in gold. The terri tory which it is proposed to cede lies on the Gulf of California, and is believed to include the State of Sonoraand Sinuloa. The negotiation originates with Scnor Romero, the present 8ecrotary of the Treasury of tho Juarez Government, who was formerly Mexican Miuibtcr to the United States: but it, of course, meets tho approval of President Juarez. It is quite evident that the Northern States of Mexico cannot much longer be , held by the central Government. They are filling up with a class of | population kindred to that vhioh wrenched Texas from Mexico aud at tached it to the United States, and revolution will follow revolution until a like result will be produced. The New York Time* docs not relish the idea of war with Eugland. It say?: 'Wo concur in the general view of tin case presented by Mr. Sumucr in his recent speech. But we conlcss we do' nut see how, even on that basis, fricudly negotiations are to be cosily opened betweeu the two Governments, for an adjustment of differences. The tenor aud teudency of that speech is toward war, rather than a peaceful settlement. Aud Senator Chuuu'er's proposition in the Senate is unquestionably und avow edly iu that direction. The paramount object in both cases is to compel Eug land to do what will most humiliate her, in satisfaction of the wrongs she has done us. This cannot be dune by nego tiation. It can only be done by war ; and whenever the attempt to accomp lish it in thut way is resolved upon, wo hope the job will be let out to Senator Chandler and his constituents. They seem to have more leisure on their hands just now than the rest of the country. h y men e a l7 Mabbibd?On the 18th May, 1800, at the residence of the bride a father, in St. Mat thews Parish, hy the Rev.
