We are gratified to learn that our

Register in Bankruptcy for the t.hird

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

--These Indications lend us to onc
important inference, and it is this :
Governmont administered in the
United States, as formerly, under the
provisions of the Constitution framed
in 1787, has fcrcvcr departed from the
Federal Union.
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

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.
In his last illness he was visited by
the principal inhabitants of tihe city ;
by all of whom ho was esteemed for
his honesty, sobriety, industry and hui
mane and friendly disposition. Among
all by whonm he was known and es
teemed, none lamented himi more, ex
cept, perhaps, his own relations, than
the publisher of this paperCl, for hie
owes hmis life, on a particular occasion,
to the boldness and humanity of Jolhn
son.",
The orator, amng~ other things, al
luded to thme fact, that three nativesocf
the State-Jackson, P'olk and Jlon
son-hr.vo passed from obscurity and
poverty, in North Carolina, to coim
parative opulence and eminence in
Tennessee, and thence to the highest
point of honor In the Union and the
world.
Claims for Cotton Seised or Destroyed.
If there are any crumbs of comfort
to lie found in the item of intellIig'ene"
below, taken from the ChiarleLon
Couriecr, we hope our readers wl:om it
concerns may surely gather thiem.
If either the cotton seized hero
since the war, or its equivalent in
greenbacks, could be recovered, timei
would no~ be so hard. Says the
Coeurier':
Mr. This. Wilson, of Wishing ton
City, quo dam partner of 'the late
Tom Cov in, of Ohio, aind nIow prac

Columbia ihas arrived ini this city for

sons for eaton seized or destroyed by
the Fader 1 authorities, which lie is
now pos uting in their behalf. lie

--It mi be however that only
"loyal" c ton is meant.
Vandalism.
We fin in one of our exchanges
the follow g :
An adv atisoemont In the Nowv Ia
von Regisi offers a reward of $500 for
the retur of a silver communion set
of eleven icos, engraved as donated
-to "Zior Presbyterian Church of
Wlnnsbor S. 0., a silver tea set of
three pie ,s (engraved "E. I. a ,," a
miniature reastpin on ivory, and a
lady's dia end ring engraved J. Ri.
A. I to E. . C.," wvhich wore taken
possession fby a soldier ,known as
Oaptain F .ler, supposed to belong to
the 14th brps, U.8S. A.," during the
march of <n.8Sherman through South
Carolina.
Now we sk, In the name of all that
is sacred a, honorable, whiat reason
could an c r of the United States
Army have for so sacrilegious an act
as that of robbing a Church: of its
"communion sot" was ? That was
among the "unikinidest cuts of all.'
And then to appropriate an ongrav
ed silver tea set I and still worse a
miniature breast-pin.
We can understsnd why an army
should fted upon the eemy's provis
ions, but why an army should steal
and commit sacrilege, and especially
an army of the United Stats, at the
very time it was announced that it
wiasgovorued by "the best government
the "sun over shone upon;''-why, un
der all these circumstances, an officer,
backed by an army of fifty thousand
men11 should seize from an unprotected
citizen the articles onumerated in the
advertisement above, wo have yet to
learn. 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.

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.

A very remarkable contest is going
on between the S. C. R ailroad and
the Augusta nu i namnmug ntaia
com pi an ics. Now that the latter road
is non rly completed, after working
upon it for about three yenrs, the ofli
cers of tihe formmer will not allow tihe
track of the new line to eross that of
the S. C. It. I., near Columbia. They
prevent it by keeping an engine eith

To the Colorod Peoplo of South Oarolina;
FriI'nds and Fellow Citizens:
By an act of Congress you have been
granted a privilege which heretofore your
race has never oijoyed in this State. 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

look about for othter issues. 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

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

lake thenm to ourselves as thle naiturtal pre
