This course is rendered necessary from the fact that we are unable to procure any exchanges or news matter with which to fill up th& paper; and owing to the almost tota l suspension of the mails find it impracticable to .forward the paper to subscribes after it is printed. T j .;?> V We regret this the more, partly from the fact that the publication of the paper has been continued regularly since the commencement of the war, but the oiroumstances by which we are surrounded, compels us to yield. We are hopeful, however, that the suspension will be only temporary. ' tTo thoae who have paid for the current volume we beg to say we will furnish the paper for the time for which ~ - we have received compensation, upon \ the publication being again resumed, y' \ : / V EBOM GBEENSBOHO''. The latest information from GreensWn'. states that the last of Johnston's army has been paroled, and has left the place. A regiment of Yankee troops, now garrison the town. Another W giment haa been sent to Charlotte, ana one may be expected at Chester very soon. The principal towns in this Slate, if hot all of them, will have gar- , risons of negro or whfte troops. Sherman has sent 60,000 of his men - i to Jlifchmond to be disbanded. Only a small part of his army has been left in j North Carolina to be distributed as J garrisons for various localities. General Meado has been appointed i Military Governor of Yirginia; General Terry of North Carolina; Halleck cf J South Carolina, and W ilson of (ieorgia. Tarry has published an emancipation ; proclamation in North Carolina, but advises all slaves to remain..with their ' masters and accept compensation for j their services. It is, also stated that Meade has ordered the confiscation of < all property in Virginia belonging to ( Southern sympathisers or those engaged ( in the Confederate service. ( The Governor of Maryland his issued a proclamation disfranchising all persons who were citizens of that State, and engaged in assisting the Confederacy ; and refusing to allow such persons to, return to the State, or hold any property therein. The peace articles first agreed upon between Johnston and Sherman, which t Andy Johnson refused to ratify, were ( . substantially the propositions that Lincoin had authorized Sherman to offer, and the latter was so confident of their full acceptance by the Yankee Govern- * ment, tl$t he had provided transportation in readiness to remove his army ! previous to disbanding it. < THE P1U88BWT. i Never perhaps has calamity fallen s upon af nation so quickly and unexpect- ? edly; as that which now enthralls the j people of the South. Immeasurable ( in its depth?unparalleled in its extre- j mity?and limitless so far as human vision can penetrate, the mind cannot ! yet conceive the full weight of misfor- ' tune that is ours. We are a Conquered J f^orrr-oilr>rl nowlc?Wlthnilt ritrhts. ' U^u UV^i. I?uv\? |/vvjk/*v n ^ ^ privileges or property, except such as ] Military Governors may allow us as conquered provinces. These are painful admissions ; we cannot realize their weight, nor comprehend all the terms embrace. We only know that our career as a people, has suddenly terminated and left us in utter chaos and confusion. Men still breathe and move, but the affairs of men are as completely paralyzed in national death, as the human body wtfen the soul has departed it. From the present, we turn to the four years of struggle now past, and gather but little consolation. We must confess ourselves responsible foi the result.? ; We did not exhibit the fortitude and endurance necessary ~to achieve the great results we had in view. We were tired of war, and were b illing to sacrifice honor and national character, for peace. While all earnestly believed success the highest blessing we could ask, "bnly a part struggled for it, and the other part planned and devised to evado'the duties necessary to attain it. Wc may remember that with an army of upwards of 100,000 men on the rolls, Gen. Lee could not muster one half that number in the field. Gen. Jahnston's reports called for over 70,000 men, and his ranks for less than 30,000. " These - men in the Seld would have won the battle in six months. The people failed in their duty, and the cause fell be-1 cause of it. Eut these recriminations j are useless and bitter. Let us forever I drop them. Jftstf- Major T. E. Walcott of Gen.

( tviDg street is fairly alive with business, , ind on Meeting and Broad streets the stores are being rapidly fitted up and ooou- - pied. Of course, we cannot expect that trade will continue active through the ( heated term. In about two months busi- 1 cess will drag, aud not be really^active again ( until the fall season. The merchants and traders are making preparations for a good j business at the close of the. eummeij at f whioh time Charleston Will doubtless be the centre of trade for the cities and towns in ( the interior. The citizens are anxious to learn when the port will he declared open by the Government, and take the ground ( that ontil it is thrown open, the wholesale ( business of the oity must be limited. The ( impression prevails here that the port will remain sealed until the end of the war, for the reason that a surplus quantity of goods 1 would tempt parties to carry them across i the lines, a proceeding, of course, which it j is not tho intention of the Government to facilitate. ' The time will come when the city will be placed on its old business footing, but the change from the present state of affairs cannot be effected in a week nor a month. Time must be bad to repair the damaged buildings and to enable the old merchants to accumuiate sufficient capital to start in business afresh. At present the citizens of Charleston are without meeqs to engage in any extensive enterprise. The lower places of' people appear'to have more money than i the higher, and it is by ttieir patronage that the shops are stores now -opened are sustained. Men who before the war were reported aB very wealthy, and who moved i in the first oiroles of society, are reduced , to pgnury, while the clod-hopper of tbp past is enjoying himself on the funds which he has been secreting during the progress j of the rebellion.
