Time 2spired.
The time allotted owners for the re
mloyal of' the rubbish in'thc burnt dia
triot, the 15th'of May, having expired,
and u6 otteniion being paid to the reso
attion of council, we hope our authori
tie wif at once go to work vigorously
and have the designated place thorough
ly cleansed.
A large amoint of news has been
crowded out of this issue, which will
appear in our next. We are using
every exertion to make our paper as in
teresting to the people as possible under
the circumstances, and all 'we ask is an
appreciation, by way of support to our
enterpsse, from a generous public.
Ex-Governor Aiken.
The annexed item, in reference to this
distinguished individual, we copy irou
the Richmond Whig of the 10th Inst.:
"Thit rresident has ordered that no
military guard shall longer observe the
movements of Governor Aiken. The
latter has been kindly received by the
rresident, and it is uhdeitood that there
is, no just cause for his arrest by the mil.
itary commandant at Charleston.
"Governor Aiken was closeted on
Wednesday with Pteskaent - Johnson.
He had a long interview with'Secretary
Stanton in the evening, has the freedom
of the city, and enjoys the society of
members of his fauily who come on with
'him ; from all of which it is argued that
he is here in aid of the Government,
rather than to receive its discipline."
The Richmond Whi has come out
in a niew dress .since the occupation of
that city by the Union troops, and has
the "61d flag" flying at its masthead.
We hope soon to have this valuable
pAper cdping to our office as an ex
change.

after all hop Ot succsS was 'vain, is
generally approved; but if any-one has a

he acted correctly and wisely;
