RUTLAND, Esq .has received the appointment as Register in Bankruptcy for the t.hird CongrQssionnl District. This appointment we heartily en dorso, not only bceause we have known Mr. Rutland, from boyhood, as a citizen of Winnsboro, but because we have known him as a gentleman of the most candid and positivo "parts" (as Addison denominates them.)

In the one styled "The Policy of "Congress," &.c., we find, in very con venient form, tile two Acts of Con gross called the Military Bill and thlt Supplemental Bill. And at the oloso of theso we find sonmc comments whiela are designed to build up, not tile pros perity of th~e whole country, but tilt pirospority of tile Republican Party The most insiduous arguments are used for this purpose.

Those (once) United States, with a population now of over 34,000,000 of souls, and these thirty-four millions (or at any rate, a majority of them), having notions of a consolidated, rather than a federated, government of Statos,-will never again be the United States designed by the origi nal compact of governmont.

The monumnent is i simple shaft of :d Iine stone, ten feet high with an oc'amental cap. The in scription is: "In Inmemory of) JACOB JOHNSON, An honest man, beloved and Respected by all wlo knew him. Born -, Died January, 1812, From disease caused by an over cffortin saving the life of his friends." The President and party, accompa. nied by Governor Worth, General Sickles, and others, having reached the comotary in carriagos, wero con ducted to a platform iea r tihe monu ment. A very large number of spee tators were present, all apparently deeply interested in the ceremonies. After the preliminary religious ox erciscs, Hbn. David Swain, L. L. D., President of the State University, de livered an address, in which he traced the history of Raleigh, and in this epInection alluded to Jacob Johnson, who, by a deed of noble daring, saved from drowning, Messrs. Hnderson and Callum, at the ultimate cost of his own life, passing away eventually a martyr to humanity. The following ul mimaiy notoc wyrittu m y ( i ..... Ienderson, the editor of the Raleigh Star, is copied from that paper of the 12th January, 1812 : "lDied in this city,, on Saturday last, -Jacob Johnson, Io had for many years occu1 pied an humble but useful station. 1[0 was city constable, sex ton, and porter to the State Bank.

Claims for Cotton Seised or Destroyed.

There is seme honor in seizing trophics of war in the face of an arm ed foe, but we never knew silver com munion sets to bo included among the frophics of honorable warfare. "The Praotice of Carrying Deadly Weap ons. The Charleston iMer'cury very pro perly reminds its readers and the pub lic generally, of the paragraph in General Order No. 10, forbidding "the practice of carrying deadly wen p "ons," and calls attention to facts that should not be overlooked. It cannot be too frequently im pressed upon all clasz i that the viola tion of military I. cets with sum mary punishmni.m e'his is a tine when the "practice of carrying deadly woapolls" is peculiarly dangerous. The order forbidding it is certainly well-timed. Just after a country has passod through the throes of a mighty revo tion involving war an1d bloodshed, hmnan life is sure to bo held cheap. Men get in the habit of destroying life and seeing It. destroyed. And all ine.ans should be adopted to prevent this careless esti ni'at ion of' h nui e showing itself in the takinig of that life. It is sometimes as bad to meet armed an unarmed man, as it is to inmect un arned anl armed man. It is to the in. terest of all to see that the "practice "of carrying deadly weapons" is effee tually according to U. 0. No. 10.

The right of suffriago, when the number of freo blacks was comparatively sinall, was with held by the State authorities for various reasons, nor could this class, from numorl. cal weakness raiso power suflicient to force a recognition of this right. Through Pro vidential intervention and the force of cir cuinstances brought about by the late war and not by any legal or const itutional en act ment., has Lhi4 great privilege been be stowed. Andit as the right staiils upon no firmer foundation thati that whili makes might. a right, a Chango of polit ical sent i ment may at any time wrest, it from you and it is a duty that, each anwl all of you owe to yourselves and posterity that in cast ing your votes you should have an eye sin gle to your oountry's good. Within a few weeks, oti white and col ored, will havo an opportunity afloriled of registering t hen' name. preparatory to vot - ing at elect ions aft eroutrd i t b held; and it should be well iuderstoo'l t hat, unless a moan's name is registered lie will not. be '-l lowed to vote. After registration, the first. question which will be brought. before you will be, whether or not a convention shilt be held, and at the same same time you voto upon this proposition, you also vote for dc legates to represent you in the convention, which convent ion will b0 held, providedi a majority of the vgtes of the people are cast in favor of it. Tio object of the conventio'A will be to frame a collstitution which will bestvow upon the colored race the samo civil and political rights now and heretofore enjoyed by tlie whites. If this convetion is not. held and I lie Stato constitution should not provide for this equality, the government of thie Stato must. remain under militaty rule, and be sulbject to whatever laws and regulations the Federal Congress may choose . to im pose upon us, withint our having one word to say in the matter of its propriety. Should tlie const itution, however, make all the necessary provi..ions to t lie end of t his universal equality, and the State is readmit ted to her place in the Union, there is no power on earti that can deprive you of tie rights anl privileges thus bestowed, with. Out youlir Owmi agency. It is, therefore, i f the niost vital importance that, you shoul d vote for a -oil vetliotl, and for stc persons to represelit Yotu as will havo tle iliatnliood and justico within themi to concede your civil and political rights cheerfully. A great Imaly personis who are opposed to a conveitioi because they (10 not wish yoll to be equal to them in all respects iefore Ahe law, have urged it against yo't that from ho want of intelligentce, &C., you be induced may by Northern men to vote igainst your own interests, &c , but this argument, even if the proplihecy is fultilled, would not change the mat tcr of right, for being declared, constitu lionally, Treemn, I. wUil 1e a vlo laton of he Principles of Republican government to leny our class what is bestowed upon an >lhor, and it, at'. c granting universal suf 'rage, the colored people choose to vote as >thors diCtate anid to their own disadvan age it will only be their fault, and the cou. cqiienecs must rest with them, Reing Soltli Carolinians, it is impossible to scpa mic tlie true interest. of the colored man it froa that. of the white, whionver general, oi'il and political equality shall have been a mlst tiiutionailly declared, and outside 1issues an.l national poulitieos should be let alone un. til our own hiouse is put in order.

Let Nor'th, South, East and West take car'e of them selves and you take care of' South Carolina. Withlin the next twelve monthls the coloredl people from the ver'y nature of things must. learn a gr'eat deal upon political subjects which they do nlot now underoust andi, and biy keeping themselves aloof fr'om party ob ligat ionms, they will cerltainoly be bet ter' pre. pared', to adopt ai courIse for their future welfare', and will, in ihe miAime, have found out by experience whlo amongst the whites are their true friends. ileing of thle asune race anid color, I would most earnestly iimploi'e, that you all be st im ulated with ai1 degree of pride, which will impel youl to not uprightly and hlonesthy. We should all remember that, as slaves, there was little importanice attacd to our characters f'or good or evil, but as freemen, it is with us to make out a futur'e, and if thisituture is to 1)0 one of prosperity, out' individual characters must lie formed to conduce to this result. Let us not give plaice to too muich outward show of exulta tion over' our newly acqhuir'ed i'ighits, lbut. lake thenm to ourselves as thle naiturtal pre rogatives of freemen, and prove to those who are so unigener'ous as to oppOse our1 en. francisement., that we ai'e men capable of leai'ninig anti performIng our duties to the let ter of' law.
