WINNSBORO. Saturday Morning, October 13, 1866. g T. P. SLIDRn, Esq., is the solo agent for. this p'aper in Charleston S. C. 0:f Mr. JAS. 11. SMITH, formerly of this place, but now residing in Charlotte, N. C. is our authorized agent for the NEWS. Mr. SirI can be found at the Times office. Judge Aldrioh's Charge. This charge to the Jury in the case of the State vs. Starling and Pope will be found in our columns to-day. It will not abate the reader'srespect one iota for the dignity and impartiality of the Judiciary of South Carolina. Our State has stood always second to no! n in the-purity and freedom from partisan ship of the Bench. Judge Aldrich's charge is pecul iarly free from all mere feeling when we consider that hc met with strange treatment, to say the least of it, in Charleston last Spring by the military anthorities, and was one of the few members of the Conven tion which met last year, who seemed to be extremely radical in Southern sentiment. We believe no Northern Judge placed in a similar situation could so admirably maintain the lion or and dignity of the Judiciary of his State. The Rural Southerner. Such is the title of a new paper just published by It. M. Stokes & Co., of Columbia, S. C. The iutherner is a weekly Agricultural, Horticultural, Mechanical and Pamily Newspaper, conducted by a corps of able writers and practical farmers. Terms, $3.00 per annum, or $1.rO for six months. The &utherner presents a beautiful formiAnd is well-filled with useful and agreeable matter. Remember the Dead. In some of our grave yards we ob serve some recent -improvements in the way of renewing the marble slabs and head-stones that mark the resting places of the dead. We understand this has been done by Mr. McKenzie, who certainly is master of his art. Would it not be well for the com munity generally to get Igr. McKen zie to go over the mooments, &e., of the deceased friends and relatives and renew them all. It would not only be honoring the dead, but extendirig aid to a worthy citizen. Radical Triumph. Ohio, Indiana and Pennsylvania have gone the Republican ticket, without' doubt, by large majorities. This result places us of the South Ab solutely in the power'of the faction of Thad. Stev'ens. Congress is sustain ed triumphantly, and ther.e can be little doubt that the President will be impeached and the whole South taken under the tender mercies (?) of her most bitter enemies. The Colored liducational Convention, -Quite a number of delegates -from diff.erw pmr io',s of the Sta tor in at tendane-. here upon the Eduhicatinal~ Convemition of the colored people. W~e lean that. the busineo has s' far been conducted with order and propriety. James H. Harris, of this city, preaes and we are glad to he able to say that we believe it is his purpose, as well as that of those whlo act with him, to pur sue a course as wvill meet, the approba sion of the citizen's of the State. .On yesterday. severaCl genhIlemnen were mnvited to attend the sittings of ti a Convention. Goy. .Worth aitWedd in the afternoon,'.was wvarImly and polhtely received, and called upon,, unexpectedly, for an addreiss. By the kindness of the Governor, we subjoin -the brief address delivered on the occasion. He said i:n substance : I have come here upon your in vita tion, to give you, by my presence, what countenancle andl encouragement I could, having.understood thatt a.l your proceed. ings were conducted in a b>ecoming and orderly manner I. was not notified that any. Renaarks were expected ,from mes, til:your p resident just inlorratd me. The few words I shall say are unpremue ditated. In the. it, eine let me a....e .... that I am di4poged to do every r.hing I can, as a. citizen and as Governor. Ao protectyou in gql your rights,.and to n courage you to be industrious, to edu. cate your children and to 4nake your selves respectable~and.happy; and while you may expect my protection, while you do right, I shall be equally ready to have thoqe punished who do you wrong. You are verf poor. Your first care should b,, by' industry and ccon'i'y. to provide good supplies of jupat and 4read, and devote all you can spare to edicate your children ; and remember it is com mon interest of both races that no ennit. ty b allowed to grow up between them. As far as I know, the general feeling of your l-e masters is kind towards you. Ti whites feel that they owe you a debt of gratitudo for quiet and orderly condiuct during the war, and you should eideavor qo to act as to keep up this kindly f-41ing between the two races. Let im advise you itot to meddle in governmental affairs. You know how few of your race nre now capable of un. destanding matters of this sort. and you see th.e strifes and troubles in which party politics have involved tho whites Avoid pohitics. Practice industry, vir tue; and cultivate tie kind feeling which now exists between races, . and you will tius acqire competence and elevate your condition. This sho:t address was received with applause, awl with evident tokens of lleaSure and gratification. We shall give our readers, hereafter, an epitome at least, of more important action of the body.--Carolina (N. C.) Times. A Paris letter of dcftember 18th says : "In consequence of some important news received from Mexico o the 15t.h lie Emperor of Francev, who had already dispatched General De Castleman, his aid do capl) to Msiximillian sent him an order by telegraph to come back to Sr.. Cloud, where his instructions were to be revised and modified. Marshall Hii. ordon, the minister of war. was present at this interview, which I am assured was oftthe most. important character. According to -the version pgnerally ac cepted, based, I understand, not merely llpon the critical condition of affairs iii Mexico, but also upon the firmness of the attitude recently assumed by the cabinlet of WI.-ahington, thm iintetioi of the French . Government is to bring about a speedy settlement of the Mexi. can qtestioi, so as to get rfid a n ats possible of th'e pet petual subject of solic tilde and annoyance. To this effeet lie fleet. of transports collected at Brest and Cherbourgh is to be laagely increased so as to be capable ofcarrying the whole of France contingent, and to evacuate Mexico all at once. All that will re main or the French army will then be a small garrison in each or the harbors whereq.he custom house duties, chnced ed to France by Maximillian, will be collected. . "Such are, I am assured, the meas ures just adopted in cabinet council ii reference to Mexico. I must say, how. ever, that the Paris Iartri'e is not quite of that. opinion, and :asseris, on the con trary, that General Oastleman's mission has not for its object the putting down iumiedi,itely an end to the intervention of France in Mexico." COTTON TAx.-The New York Chanmbor of Commerce, on 'Thursday appointed a committee to p;epare a memorial to Congress, calhng .upon that body to repeal the absurd and ru! inous tax upon cotton. Now that the new crop is coming in, it is found that the en forceement of the tax is surrounid ed with dlifficulties. It g.ives the as sessor a world of trouble, emnbarrasses the planters, curtails trade, puts thq growth of cotton under the ban of the law, and'offers a p remiunm to foreign, cotton-growers. The taqx, at thme stag't was -foolish and spiteful, and was, merely intended to injure the South., We have tihe finest cot,ton patch in .the world, and if we are wise, we may re gain the virtual monopoly of this great b)usliness ;but to do so we must encouragr and not hinder', the prod uc tiotn of tha4t, valuable fibre. OETi v A N Fcc z.NTrni.--The Montgouirery (Ala.) M'iil records (ire dleatIh of ani old' eecentrie chitraeter in Coosa County, named IIowell Rose. By hoarding his means for many years beo had-le(en enabled to aecuiulhate&a property of nearly $800,000, all 'of which passes by his death to thme use of his wife for life. The Mail says: "4fter the surrender, a'body of 'Yah. keis went to the old manm's house in searoh of gold, anId threatened to hang him unless he produced it. The old mman coolly. toldithemn to hang, and that they would.find his a pretty tough old nook. They hung him up three times, but produced no confgpsion." Tun RanIoAL,s rOI .CIVIL WAR. -Since Mr. Ilaymond's diblosure OQf. the rpdiqi1 plot tings for civil war, the 'Brownlows, the Stevenses, -and Sumners have given now proofs daily of iho. desperation and the wickeduess of the men who would preqipi tale the country into that worst of all 0a lamities. The Louisville Journal, long the oppo ftt of the., Democratic party, is cordially co ,eperatilg with it now in the effort to restore the Union, peace, prosperity and harmony, and to avert the radicals' threatened civil war. It bays: The signs are direful. Otr nationality seems more fearfully threateged'tan.it was at any time during th late war,'the world's greatest war. The portents glow and red den like bale-fires upon alt tho hills. The country is covered with comibustiblo mate rials soatterel nrouind by fierce hands, and the li-lin. abroad of a single fire-brand from Wasington, or the bursting of one flash bf lightning from the lurid clouds that, hang low over the Capitol, may wrap the land in a conflagration of civil war. And let the Northern people remember that if civil war comes, it will rage, and madden, and work its desolations first in the North, and, if the South choosd, be confined to the North- Th.6 people of the North, with the exception of tie solders, 11new little of war, save from reading about it. The flames of ilirning cities glared and the thunders of hostile cannon roared and died away a thousand miles off f: om them t but let a civil war, such as large po o's of them seem now to be provoking, burst forth atuong themselves, and they will be the witnessesand the victims of'Io-rorsoholly unparalleled by tlie Wt e dread'ul experi enos of tIe sout ht. It will be a war less ofarmies than of neighbors and neighbor hood. The 'midnight torch will be one of thechief we!pons of the tight. Tite air .will be red with flamo and black with sul phurous smoke. Bstsss CARDS ON ENvLOPFR.s.-The Pwnster-General has recently issued in e, etonet ma11king a provision for tie print ing of bus-ness cards on envelopes in any, desired torm or design. with request to re turn letters. provided that no less than 600 envelopes are ordered. The persons want - ing Ihem itirnish the cuts or plat'es prepar ed for lie press fron which to have print ing done. Postmasters are to receive the orders in the usual terms, the cost being about the value of the plain envelopes with the addition of the a-nount of the required stamp. Ctacus ADvanTisIXn.-Many persons, says the Petersburg (Va.) Express, wonder at the great success which attends this popular amusemerlt. The great secret may be found. in the liberal advertising policy which all circus inanigers adopt. News paper, gorgeous poters. attractive hand bills, are all brought into requisition to 11lace before the public the wonderful feats, y-uastie. avobatic apd equistrian. Men oi business could well learn a lesson from Ihe circu . propritors, tha would result in fort unes. Ihe Washinto correspondent. of the Philadelphia Inqutirce states in relation to the trial of 'Mr. Davis, that, sa far as the Administration is concorbed. it is inder stood that an order will be made that .Chief Justice Chase, Judge Underwood and others he notified that Mr. Davis is held subject to the i1dictment found in the United States Circuit Court, and tha't these officials he requetAI to have the proper writ issued to take the prisoner into custody under the in. diet ment, for treason. Admiral Semmes, in "assuning.the duties and responsibilities of editor"' of the Mobile Gazette, says, in, the spirit of a true Southerner: "Every good and trite man must do his part cheerfully towards restdring harmony between the two sections of our coun try, that prosperity may follow harmo ny- If the South is -our country, so a so, now, is the North. We would have hal it otherwise once, but an ovei'--ruling Providence, whmichx doethm all th ings well, hanthdeo?eeg d if'erent ly, and, as men acknowledging Chxris tian responsibilitics, wo must, bow hum bl'y to this decree." .'.
