Business goes on peaceably, the taxes are being collected, the returned Confederates Acquiesce in their defeat, and rejoice that the War is over. Traveling through the State is as safe as before the war.? Speculation 'and trade are becoming brisk, and emigration from the North, *: especially of mechanics wad miners, is f beginning. There is a. large amount of cotton in the lower part of the State." ^T"T~ .. J - Sf.**'. 7 ... 1 " THB ELECTION". On Monday next, our people will be called on to vote for four .members to the State Convention, whose duty it is to alter the JState Constitution, with a view to re-admission into the Federal Union. Every man who is averse to military rule, and wishes civil law to be resumed, should at once qualify himself. for voting at this election, and select from the candidates nominated, those -whom he thinks can best Carryout the ends contemplated. There is, or can be, no partyism urged in this election, for the Amnesty Oath levels all distinctions; let us then not waste time | in cavilling over by-gone issues, but set forth boldly and steadfastly to meet the new order of things that has come up on us. . RESTORATION. We find the following article in the Richmond Times, of the 28rd instant, which may be of interest to &ome of our readers, who are absent from their home3 in the low country: "During the last week upwards of a dozen citizens of the- South, who had obtained their pardons, made personal ' - '? il 171 J T> application at tne r reeuniun s xmreau for the restoration of lands which had beon taken into the custody of the bureau. On production Of the certificates of pardon, the applicants were furnished with orders upon the local agents of the bureau in the South for the restitution of the property claimed, with the provisions that the owners be made to compensate &e black's for the crops , thejf may be cultivating thereon, or leave them in undisturbed possession until the same are harvested." THE GORED OX. * The trial of Wirz, Superintendant of the Military Prison at Andersonville is progressing at Washington, which creates much interest; while, at the sanflF time, attracting little notice, the authorities of Kings county, New York, have just had,an overhauling of the treatment of those confined in the county jail.- A minority committee report that the principal keeper has been feeding both prisoners and keepcrs-with diseased and putrified meat, insufficient in quantity, and that he. even extracted the marrow from the soup bones and seftt it away, the presumption being to be sold for hiit own advantage. Fldgr ging the prisoners with a cowhide, on . the hate back, tow a part of the prison discipline as exercised by the keeper, though contrary to the rules of the en* tablishment.

President Johnson, it seems by Northern papers before us, is to meet a committee of General Officers at Rich: mond, Va., in a short time,?where he i jwiH accompanied by Secretary of War, Stanton. It is said to be "in ret erence to the condition of affairs in this ; section, aS affected by the policy of' ' ? mi ij _ 4, ills administration, xue uieeuuig io to be held in' "the private parlors of the Jkff.

It is "our i own people's" doing, however, and if ] ifeereis any wrong, we must blame our- ^ iselves. It is thought the President I will be invited to and visit Raleigh? ] probably as far South as he will be ] able to get this summer. We do not J envy him his trip, for he will be mighti- 1 ly be-deviled by penitent secessionists j r\n~r>no band. at>d ramnant "Unionists" i on thejother; his "grand ovations" will not be like those of Gen. Grant's? far from it; with the noise of dcnm and fife will not cease his duties. We only hope his health will enable him to stand the heavy seige he has to undergo, and that his> temper will not lead him to "disappoint" his many admirers. President Johnson is*a man of too much sound sense, to be led astray by the pitiful toadyism that is about to be practised upon him; he can not be easily deceived, and those who would win his respect, should accord to him only that honor, to which, as President of the United States, he is entitled. When South Carolina is admitted into the Union, on an equality with other States, c then we might wish to welcome a Pre^i- r dent of the Union; jmtil then, we bow 4 to all his mandates; with a respectvto which both parties are entitled. t May his visit he propitious. i NEW ADVERTISEMEN T8,' CbarieaE.

It is said that immediately after the surrender of the rebel army under Gen. Lee, Mr. Seward caused the Emperor of France to.be informed through the proper ohaimel, that the Government of the United States, was then, or soon, wouid.be, in a position to maintain the principles of* the Monroe Doctrine; that, owing to the difficulty whioh had been experienced in suppressing Ihe-rebollion, and the-length.tif time whichtheworkoccupied, the United States had been compelled tor., stand and look on, and |tacitly consent to some things which, were entirely opposed to the spirit of onr institutions; that among them was the establishment of a foreign monarchy in Mexico on the ruins of the Mexican Republic: that the United States Government is cow able to devote the proper degree -of attention to its foreign relations ; that the Monroe Dootrine constitutes one of the most cherished principles of our Government, and that the President is determined to enforce it; that is a few weeks we would have * veteran army of half a million of men, who could be thrown iota Mexico in a few days*; and that,.if It become necessary, this great force would bo employed, in the expulsion of Maximillian 1 and the French troops from Mexico, and in i the restdration of the Republic there. < ] These, of oonrse, were not the words, > but it is said that this was the tenor and i effeot of this dispatob, and that it has had < the intended effeot; and, that the govern- i ment has recently received 'from France the assurance that the. French troops, shall all be withdrawn from Mexico and that < Maximillian himself will soon abdicate his \ throne and return to Austria. It is only since the receipt Of this most gratifying 1 intelligence?n)m-France that orders hate been given for the gradual disbandment of ! the United States troops in Texas. They were sent there booatiBe it was not yet' ' known what the decision of Napoleon ] would be; and there was a prospect at one * time that their servioes would be actually j Deeded for the expulsion of Maximillian by ' foroe. Now, however, it is known that the .] Monroe Doctrine will bet respeoted bj Na- i poleon, and therefore, the necessity which i* existed for their being sent to the Bio ' Grande had passed away. The Monroe ' Doctrine, therefore, will be established on i a firmer basis than ever before; and the < friends of Mr. Seward deolare that this is entirely the work of the Secretary of State. The abdication of Maximilian, and die re- 1 establishment of the republican form of ! government in Mexico, most not be looked J for immediately. Bnt that these. events ' will take place within a reasonable time, ft is said,,Jhbre-is-no doubt whatever.

This U. 8. currency stands on a very different footing compared- with Confederate carrency. We lost out Confederate carrency beoiase the cause, on which it was based, failed. The caase on wbiah greenbaok currency was based triumphed, and, so far ^s we nan see at present, the -probability is that' the oarrenoy will rfemain goed. If greenbaoks are discredited it is aminjary to (he public at. large, for we ara all dependent on it for a ciroalating medium.
