WINNSBOflMO. Saturday Xorning, August 5, 1865. WANTED, at this office, one or two newsboys, to sell papers on the Charlotte & South Carolina railroad. None need apply except those of an industrious and onterprising disposition. We publish in .andther column, copied from our Augusta exchanges, two or ders of Major General STEKDMAN, which will be read with interest. They are of the right stamp, and the people of Augusta are fortunate in having placed in audhority in their city a gentleman of auch views. Quite a nuisance is getting to be common in our town, and has been in practice for the past week or two, and t~o which we respectfully call the atten tion of our Post Commandant. We re fer to the essembling of negroes. both day and night, under the piazza of the old Winneb6ro' Hotel. That building is used as residences by numerous fanti lies, and the door and steps on Main street, the only oitlet those living on the west side of Lte building have, is continually crowded by them. Cannot our Military authorities do away with this intolerable nuissance ? It is extreeiely disagreeable for ladies on coming into the street from L~is build ing to be compelled to edge their way through a crowd of negroes. We hope our authorities will give this matter their attention. There have been other nominations made for the coming. C6inventioV in Richlpnd District.

[Ciaomsjara .Basar. . Comtnunication. EDITOR N As: In reorganising the State with a view to place her upon an equality with other States, two points of immense importance must be kept be fore the mind. The first is, Congress has a warrant from the Constitution to "guarantee to every State a republican form of government." Secondly, Con gress has power to decide what is a e publican form of government. All the proclamations of the President are sub. ject to the approval or disapproval or Congress. His policy is shaped by what he thinks vill meot the sanction of that body. Hence, the stringency of his whole scheme to reorganize the civil government of States. A loose plan on his part would endanger the whole thing. It may be taken for granted that "re publican government" does not mean at the North what it does in the South. And the interpretation given to the term there is the one which is to be practically carried out in re-establishing the government of this State. The coum cession is very important, because this State cannot now dictate the terms up. on which she shall be restored to her .reldtions in the Union. Thie Conven tion to be convened is called expressly to alter or amend the Consitution, and this amendment- or alteration is to be made to meet the requistious of the gen eral Government. The only great prac tical change to be made to suit the re quisition is in the system of labor. But there is a great change eipected in the theory of government, as any one may see who will read the Amnesty procla mation of President Johnson. Is the State ready for the question ? Or rather, are the people prepared to ac cept the dictates of common sense, and come forward and declare the State un der new regine. If so, the-e is great hope yet. But if not, they are to be pitied for their folly, and punished for inertia. Once restored, the State can then act effectively in the councils of the nation, by remodelling the Constitution quietly and quickly this restoration can be effected. And the people should un derstand exactly what position the nomi nees for the Convention hold in regard to the proper course to be pursued. Te occasion demands an ingenious defining of positions.

He teaves a wife and children almost destitute. There is scarcely a day passes but we hearof some one, either paroled soldier or citizen, being ordered from the conn ty, with terrible threats of vengeance if the order is disregarded. Our county is in a reign of terror. For the last few days there seems to be a systematic plan aniong a portion of the German element of this county to drive from it every A merican that is in the least had odor with them. We were no apologist for the rebeHion, or for rebels, nor do we wish to speak disparagingly of the Ger mans, for some of them are among our best citizens. But such conduct by any class of citizens is truly reprehensible, and imstlbe stopped. The civil officers of the county cannot well do it-will the military ? Are they in ignorance of the state of affairs existing here, or are they indifferent to them ? We believe it to be the former, for it would be almost worth a man's life to take an active part in reporting these outrages.

The prisoners were brought to Guayaquil, and twenty-teven of theta instantly shot. After this Moreno, started for Tuiambos, whee he expected to capture more victims. A fter his re turn to Guayaquil, the President re turned the steamer to the Captain, who, received her under protest, and got at the siame time twenty thousand pounds for three day's seryicee of the vessel. The seizure is still an open question, having beep referred to the inanaer of the company at Callao.
