to say that the unifo.rt conduct of our

Blackberry Wine.
We iav reccicved from our venera
blo frilend, Jacob Feaster, Esq., the
following recipe for making Blavkber.
ry Wine
To every thrce pints of berries add
ono -ptart of water. Let it stand
twenty-four hours, thon mash up, and
straim through a sifter, then through a
jelley hag. To every gallon of' juice,
add three pounds brown sugar, tihe
whites of two oggs beaten to a froth
and stir. in--a little spice, two dozon
clovos beaten fine, and one nutmeg
gratel. Put the spice, cloves and
nutmeg into a linenm bag, with a small
rock, to siik it. After all are mixed,
plt it into a stono jug filled up and
kept full while working, with some
of the juice reserved for that purpose,
until it is Ioie working, which will be
il some two or three weeks. Then
Cork it tightly, and koop in a cool
place, for tlrc or four months.

with little loaf sugar in each bottlo.

Registration.
Tho Charleston Mcrcury says the
Commanduing G cieral has determined
not to begin registration in this dis
trict until Congress shall have
more definitely declared wlo are,
and who are not, entitled to rog
istration ; and it is now expected that
the timo for registration in the Caro
linas will be extended by Congress te
to October or Noveniber next.
Thero is so much uncertainty, the
.!,1 reury adds, at presont concerning
the disqualifying clauses of the M ili.
tary acts, and the functions of the
Boards of iRogistration, that this sus
pension is both prudent anAl judi
clous.

To ti 11nto the history of the various po

be to throw a shado of dishonor tipon re, 1

about the present unpronmising state of af- I
fairs. It .is sutlioient for us to know, that
thocountry, generally, is in an anomalous f
condition, and wo find the Southern States n
the sufferers.
To contend, at this time, for the conali.
tution and tho. Union as they were, is idle
and must prove impolitio and futile; but to
contend for restoration of the States of the a
South to the Union upon principles of

dishonored. With this party I have no
sympathy. The other two parties compos.
ed of the radical elements of the North and
of the South, precisely similar in principle
but wholly antagoistio to each other, I
would also condemn. One of these parties
led by Thad. Stevens, would plunder tohe
freo whitos ot' the South t-o feed and -edu
onto the blacks, and tie other, -under the
guidanoe of B. F. Perry, would onslavc Tho
free blachs to support the whites, both
founded upon unwise and unjust. prin
ciples, -and sooner or later must necessarily
be buried in one common grave. In .my
speech in Winnsboro, I indicated that., I
had no oonloienco in any one of these thirea
parties, for I expressly advocated legal and
politioal rights to all in strict conformity to
the requirements of the military bill, but
advised the colored people, for the prouit
to keep aloof from party associat.ions and d

On ' Tuosdaj morning, aboit six
o'clock, wo were disturbed by a sit
gular noiJa i thi jil Opposite. On
repairing to the placo we learned tha.
lHill flall, a olored man, charged
with thoinurdor of his wife sonio two
inonths ago,. and oi linied in the jail
since, reportod' to- be crazy. li
had all he night; prOvious kept the
Sherilf, Mr.]. . W1. Olover, and his
family awako by rimpant noises.
Weirv1 luarned from the-Shucrir thata: a
fas hao knew the prisoner had not
eaten atything sinic Frnday nuight our
Sdturday utorning previous.
Tho Shorilrunmoned a party to as.
8ist in'remnoving tho crazyprisnolier-frIt
the cell in whick ho was thoen conlfined
to one of greatcr scourity. Tile Shor
iffeind hispose oe ntered tho jail, and
upon opening tha iron door of his cell,
the fdflow had in his haid. the round
of a chalrulo therlIflydd kiti dly
given i to sit upon, and which ohair
he hall broken to gioecs. When thO
Sheriff anud hids posso approached tlhe
door., the lunatic dashtod with torrilo
force through the aporturo above tihe
W.onl(0 door', alf of the w ood) en seat
6f thocuhair. The inisile passed over
the heads of those nearest thu door of
the coll, and struck thuc Siorif1', .a se
vee blow upon tho heid, 4 device
of the Shcriff lowever soon cnabled
him to calturo the insano flliow. It
was to adjust a rope in the form of' a
slip-knot, and while one of the party
with a stick kept the prisoner's attei
tion directed to himio by striking at
him, another slipped the nooso over
his head, slrewv it aronnd his nck,
and pulledl him u1p to the iron grating
and thus secured him.
Since. placued ai - more scnre

"The S3horjif licoming suspicious at'
the real non capos mcntis of the pris

ingly called in Dr. L4add, who upon ex..
aminatien pronounced the case as havi
intg something "singulatr" about it.
After leaving the doll, he suggested
to thte Sheriff that thte ga~lyanic batte
