Call at their estab' lishient and prpoure some of the many nice things which they have on hand. SRefereno We copy in anothet column, from 'the Charlestoh' Courier, ah atticle head. 'ed "Iteesting Stateinent of the Posi. 1ion of DAVIS and-the Confederate Gov nkien" which will be interesting to nittt of our readets. The writer, though manifestly, politically and per. wodally.opposed to Mr. DAvis, is Well informed, and as impartial ad could be expected of an avowed Opponent., He ex0resse, the unanimous opinion of the South, when he repudiates the possibilia ty of Mr. DAVIS being in'any manner connected with the assassp4tioli plot. The tlting is prepostrous. We have seen nothing as yet in the evidence ou the trial at all implicating.him, even in the testimiony of BAiss, which we,take for granted will be overthrow* y a host of witneespa. The Writer alsi correcto th error au to the amount of speie which has been gr9eatly over-rated.' A person thoroughly informed on the subject, assured us con, fidentially, when it was paising througi Vhis State; that inbtead of oe-eral iail. -lions, as supposed, there were only $400,000, chiegy in silver coin. No one has ever supposed that Mr. DAVIS prnposedi t'o use any portion of it forshis personal use. In fact, the great bulk 'of it *as divided outat Washing. ton, Ga., among the cavalry w'ho had acted as his escort to that place, and were there disoharguO. * Whatever errors and faults-have been -charged 'to Mr. DWvis, corruption and dishonity have never been imputed tc Vin, eve* by the-rnost bitter of his many enorfnie.4, so tar as we have over found, The Courier says that the letter was w~ritten by a gentleman who occupied ot the most influenlial members of Jeff Davis' Cabiniet thronghout the rebellion, wld to set forth the actual condition o1 anffa~irq in the reb'el c'apitail durring the lat. ter days of the re~ellio4.

Prom White Oak to Adgers- a -dis tapceof about three pile--the' road is very little damaged. We were asbured that by Sunday. next the shrill notes of the whistle will be heard at the latter ,place, within five miles of Winusboro. Those with whom we conversed in f6rmed us that iron enough hanu been se. cured to finish the track to our. town; that the timber for cross ties had been procured and in a short while our villa would be made glad by the daily ar rival of the cars. We hope, as soon as trains commence running- to White Oak, to fix upon some plan by which we can secure - ur ex changes regular and forward to our pa. trons along tha' route our paper soon after its publication in Winnsboro. Who will aid us in the matter ?. A General Amnesty. Nothing. would have tended more to the restorition of order throughdut the 8outhe'rn States, and the re-establish mens of society and sound government, thai the utterance, by the chief magis trate of the natioin of the words of gen-' oralpardon. This coursp, it.is nuder stood, Mr. LINooLN would have pursued, as was hinto in the negotiations at Old Poiqt Comfort, and is implied in the aoc tion of Gen. SaEnai[X, who believed that he represented. the wishes of the Execu, tive. That eminent fnctionary had on vatibous occasions evidenced his instrue. tions in that direction and his atrocious and infamous assassinatibn, for which the South is to be nowise responsible, hnd which is denouncgd by every man in her midst as the crime or crimes, prevented its consioumation. The present chief magistrate is 4 man who has riven by. his own energies and resources from the humblest statton to the moot exalted, and in vigor of in. tellect and -gresp of thought,, can find, no superior. Much ought to be expected from his large'a"d statesmanlike capaci. ties. The exemption of large, classes from the benefits pf-amnesty, will-tend to keep unsettliafor a long time the social and indostrialsystep of theSouth, auid thus prbvent its otherwise large contributious to.thidntiongl ,wealth. If they who controlk thWeapif.al and wealth, the in dustry and the enterprise of the country are stuck down and paralyed, chos will'fr 'a long time prevail and" misery and vice stalk forth everywhere.i The statesmuen of the United ~States need not deem it necessary by any sig nal acts to disincline the'Soiuth from re volutiorr in the futdre., Her long and bitter experience, her trials, her sorrows, her wrrific losses Kr sufidleent.
