LIFE'S SUKSET.
Where are you going so fast, old man,
Where are you going so fast?
There's a valley to cross, and a river to ford,
There's a clasp of the hand and a parting word.
And a tremulous sigh for the past, old man,
The beautiAtl vanished past,
The road has been rugged and rough, old man,
To your fee tit's rugged and rough;
But you see a dear being with gentle eyes,
Has shared in your labor and sacrifice;
Ah! that has been sunshine enough, old man,
For you and me, sunshine enough.
How long since you've passed over the hill, old man,
Of life o'er the top of the hill ?
Were there beautiful valleys on t'other side ?
Were there flowers and trees with their branches wide,
To shutout the heat of the sun, old man,
The heat of the fervid sun ?
And bow do you cross the waves, old man,
Of sorrow, the fearful waves?
Did you lay your dear treasures by, one by one,
With an aching heart and "God's will be done,"
Coder the wayside dust old man.
In the graves 'neath the wayside dust ?
There Is labor and sorrow far all, old man,
Alas! there la sorrow far all,
And you peradventnre, have had your share,
For eighty long winters have witnessed your hair,
And they've whitened your heart as well, old man,
Thank God, your heart as well.
You're now at the foot of the hill, old man,
At last at the foot of the hill;
The sun has gone down in a golden glow,
And the heavenly city lies just below;
Go in through the pearly gate, old man,
The beantlful pearly gate.

Wit and Justice in Missouri.
It is well known that some of the judges
in Missouri are very reluctant to enforoe j
the law against Ministers of the Gospel, for
fHfurwiaing their profession without having
taken the test oath, and avail themselves of
every pretence to discharge those who are
accused. An ezohange has the following
example:
Three ministers, charged with the crime
of preaching the glorious Gospel of the Son
of God, were arraigned before a certain
Judge. They were regularly indioted, and
it was understood that the proof against
them was very olear.
"Are you a preaoher 1" said the judge to
one of them.
"Yes, sir," replied the oulpjit.
"To what denomination do you belong ?"
"I am a Christian, sir," (with dignity.)
"A Christian I What do you mean by
that ? Are not all preachers Christians ?"
"I belong to the seot usually oalled, but
wrongly called Campbelliijgp. (Not so muoh
dignity.)
"Ah, then, you believe in baptizing people,
in order that they may be born again,
do you V*
"I do, sir." (Defiantly.)
"Mr. Sheriff, discharge that man ! He
is an innooent man! He is indioted for
preaohing the Gospel, and there isn't a
word of Gospel in the stuff that be preaches!
It's only some of Alexander Campbell's
nonsense. Disoharge the man !"
Exit Campbellite, greatly rejoioing.
"Are you a preacher ?" said the judge
fKo ncvf nnminol \
"I am, Sir." said the miscreant.
- "Of what denomination are yon ?"
"I am a Methodist, Sir." (Bis look
showed it.)
"Bo yon believe in falling from graoe 7"
"I do, Sir." (Without hesitation.)
"Do you believe in sprinkling people instead
of baptizing them ?"
"I believe that the people can be baptised
by sprinkling." [Much offended.]
"Do you believe in baptizing babies ?"
"It is my opinion, Sir, that infants
ought to be baptized." [Indignantly.]
"Not a word of Soripture for anything of
the kind. Sir!" shouted his Honor. "Mr.
Sheriff, turn that man loose! He is no
preaoher. The Gospel is the truth, and
there isn't a word of it in what that man
teaches. Torn him loose!?It's ridiculous
to indiot men on such frivolous pretensions.
Turn him loose!"
Methodist disappears, not at all hurt in
his feelings by the judicial abuse he has
received.
"What are yon, Sir?" said the Judge to
the third felon.
"Some people call me a preaoher, Sir ?"
(Meekly.)
"What is your denomination 7
"I am a Baptist." (Head up )
His Honor's oountenanoo fell, and he
looked sober and sad. After a pause, he said:
"Do you believe in salvation by grace 7"
"I do ." (Firmly.)
"Do you teach that immersion only is
baptism ?"
"That is my doctrine." (Earnestly.)
"And you baptise none but those wno
believe in Jesas Christ?"
"That is my faith and praotioe. (With
emphasis.)
"My friend, I fear it will go hard with
you; I see yon are indicted for preaching
the gospel, and it appears to ms by your
own confession you are guilty."
Baptist looked pretty blue.
"May it. please your Honor," said the
Baptist's oonnsel, springing to his feet,
"that man never preached the gospel. I
have heard him say a hundred times that
he only tried. I have heard him try myself."
"Mr. Sheriff, discharge this man ! He's
not indioted for trying ! There's nothing
said about the mere effort! Let him go,
sir 1 Turn him loose ! Send him about
his business! I am astonished that the
State's Attorney should annoy the court
with frivolous indictments."
Exit Baptist determined to "try" again.
Court adjourned.
"God save the State and this honorable
court!" exclaimed the Sheriff.
"Amen I" said the three preachers.
And after all say we, as ridiculous as the
story may seem, it has a moral. If the
State has a right to prohibit the preaching
of the gospel, it has a right to decide what
the gospel is; and when this is done, we
have a national church and the adulterous
connection between church and State becomes
complete.

was on her way to the oity of New
York, on board one of the Hudson river
night boats, Bhe sat quietly reading in the
ladies' cabin, when a flashily-thessed dame,
mistaking her for a servant, rather rudely
accented her with:
"Do you know this cabin is for the ladies?^
"Certainly I do," was the answer, "and

Novel Employment.
The New Orleans Times tells a story of
a man who, some years ago, was doing an
extensive business in that city, and, owing
to his singular blending of roughness and
severity with gentleness, acquired the sobriquet
of the "Artfol Dodger." Ooe cold
November morning, an urchin applied to
him for a situation, and in answer to his
sharp interrogatories, the boy stated that
his mother was a widow, and supported
herself by her needle, and during the summer
she had been attacked with the yellow
fever, and had not yet recovered from the
debility which it had produced. Up to
this time the boy had been going to school,
and expeoted to enter the high school, bat
was compelled to go to work For some
time the Dodger sat buried io profound
thought; then suddenly turning round, be
stared the petitioner full in the face and
thns delivered himself:
"Boy you are employed; I will give you fifteen
dollars a month, but on certain express
conditions. Saturdays you shall have all
to yourself?all boys should have time to
play?but I pay in advance, and when I
hire people I expect them to work?work
hard you understand?Yon give me your
time?I give you my money. If I do what
I please with your five days in the week,
you do what you please with my fifteen
dollars.
He then turned to his desk, scribbled
off a note, and then took six two-dollar and
a half gold pieces oat of his safe, which he
placed in the boy's hand, and told him to
deliver the letter.
"Mr. , Principal of School.
I have hired at fifteen dollars a
month. His time is my property, and I
will most certainly dispose of it is I see fit.
I choose that he shall go to school. If you
find him negligent, let me know, and he
will immediately be discharged.
Respectfully, ."
The salary was paid promptly until the
old gentleman's death, and the novel employee
now ocoupies a good position in a
large commercial house, in Texas.
American and Paris Prices ?A correspondent
of the Springfield Republican,
at the close of a gossiping letter about
Paris fashions, gives the following comparison
of Paris prioes for articles of ladies'
dress with piioes here;
"We can buy in Paris a good summer
silk for six franos a yard, $1.20; black'silks,
which at home are $3.50 a yard, are here
$1 90; French oambrios, for which we pay
.75 cents, are here 30 cents. Kid gloves,
for which we give $1, are 50 cents in Paris, i
and at Naples 20 or 30 oents; $2.50 gloves
with us, are here $1 a pair. Six months
ago in Amerioa ooarse flannel was 50 or 75
cents a yard; here it is 18 or 20. Lace-edging,
for which a friend paid 33 cents last
month at Madge's in Boston, I patterned
here for 11 oents; Lubin's soap, for which
I paid Harris & Chapman $1.25, I found
in Genoa for 80 oents, and am told it is
less io Paris. Lubin's extracts, for which 1
our druggists charge $1.25 or $1.50, are 1
here 25 cents. A point lace oollar and
cuffs, for which at home we pay $25, are 1
here $12.
"A lacesbawl for which we pay $400, is j
in Paris $200, and at Brussels, where it is 1
made, $150. Blaok trimming lace of narrow
width, for whioh we pay 75 cents, is 1
here 30 oents. As for bonnets, which, 1
I . ? ? - ! . 1
witn my lasc American experience, were at
fabulous prices, such as from $20 to $80, ;
the ordinary price of a handsome one in
Paris is $5, often only $4, with fine French '
flowers. Those with blonde laoe trimmings 1
are $5 or $8. Yet ribbons are, for some
onknown reason, as expensive in Paris as 1
in America So are boots and shoes, I
provisions, rents and a few other things.
Under garments of all kinds can be bonght
here ready made and elaborately trimmed,
for what the mere ootton goods costs at
home. One is suspicious of cheap ready
made olotbes, so often the tears of the poor
are worked into them; but as I waited the
other day in a large shop of the kind 1 1
observed the neat little sewing girls who
brought home their work in a handkerchief,
and they looked smiling and prosperous.
;
"A French woman lives upon an inconsiderably
small sum, and provisions are so
subdivided to suit their economy, that a
few sous procures them a luxurious dinner.
Once or twice a week a few lodgers in the
attio of some great bouse olub together and
order a dinner whion is really luxurious,
though it is paid for in hard-earned sous?
and this iB all they ask."
An Extraordinary Monkey.?The
New York Post thus describes the performances
of an extraordinary monkey now
being exhibited on the streets of New
York :
The organ is rarely, if ever, used, except
to attract the nucleus of a orowd. After
that the entertainment is of a singular
character. The monkey (a small one) takes
Mb plaoe on a platform, which is nearly as
high as a man's head, and begins the performance
with music of his own upon the
violin. The tones are not particularly
sweet, but the posture of the player is very
amusing to the orowds. At the conclusion
of this the monkey carelessly tosses the in
stiumtnt and the bow into the haods of his
trainer, and, taking a hurdy-gurdy, plaoes
the strap around his neck, aud makes more
music of its kind. Afterwards come a tambourine
performance.
Then the programme varies. The monkey
is provided with a needle and a piece
of cloth, and sews rapidly, if not very well.
With a broom he energetically sweeps the
stage. His motions at this time closely
imitate those of an industrious, but careless
and comical, servant girl; and the
spectators who wondered and applauded
the monkey during his musioal exhibition
now laugh at him heartily.
The performer next takes the part of a
warrior. His gun he first "presents" for
inspection. Subsequently he removes the
ramrod, drives home the charge, as soldiers
on parade do it, and shoulders arms, carries
arms, takes aim and fires off the percussion
cap, with which the lock has been supplied.
The march of the monkey on his short legs
excites great merriment. A broad-sword
exercise completes the belligerent entertainment.
The monkey fences very well
with his trainer, who stands off to avoid
stabs.
The perfornances conclude with some
grotesque tricks. The monkey, which is
eighteen inches high, puts on the great cap
of his master, and with a ludicrous air, struts
around the platform. There are other similar
acts. Finally, he assists the servant in
taking up the collection. Standing in the
centre of the platform, he catches in his
band, with great skill, the ooins thrown at
him, no matter from how far, or how man; i
come at aboat the same moment. His parse j
hangs from his belt, and the money is slip
ped into it with wonderful quickness and
dexterity The monkey takes off his hat
and makes a very good bow at the end of
his exhibition.
A Bold Feat.?Captain De Lac, the
leader of a squadron of the Victor Emanuel
Lancers attached to the Fourth Corps, hay.
ing reoeived an order from General Cialdini
to push himself forward till he should meet
with the enemy, boldly presented himself
before the gates of Padowa, where, of
course, with bis squadron he met with the
Austrians (for the city was still in their
possession,) and in iarge number too. Instead
of retraaing his steps in double'qaick,
for be might have considered his mission
at an end, the brave captain entered fearlessly
into the city at the head of his squadron,
sounding his bogle. The enemy,
though possessing a force six or eight times
larger, thinking that the squadron was followed
by the whole vanguard of the Fourth
Corps, evacuated the city iu great haste.
Still Captain De Luc was not satisfied.
Aocompanied by only four lancers, he rode
to the railroad station and ordered an engine
to be got ready. Entering a car with
his four men, he made it hitch to a looomotive
and bid the engineer to start for Vicenza
No sign of Austrians on the road. At last
the locomotive, with the car containing
Captain De Lao and his four men, entered
the railroad station at Vicenza; it was full
of Austrian troops! Nothing was left for
the Captatn to do but retraoe his steps, if
that was even possible. Had be had with
him his whole squadron, ten to one, he
would have ordered the bugle to sound the
obarge, and no doubt would have thrown
tne enemy into the greatest confusion, who
was not prepared for a surprise But what
could five men do among several hundreds ?
"Rnf fft nn Viuok omntii handed. 'twaa hard.
All at once, the Captain who, having pat
his head oat of the car window, was looking
around with a disappointed air, oalled the
engineer and ordered him to tarn the loco
motive, and drive it at the head of a long
train of cars which was waiting to be sent
somewhere by the Aastrians. The engineer,
let it be said to his praise, performed
the manoeuvre with both dexterity and
quickness; and twenty minutes later Captain
I>e Luc entered Padowa at the head
of a whole train loaded with Austrian tobacco?a
trifle worth half a million of
francs !
The Sardine Fishery.?The Paris correspondent
of the London Field thus describes
the manner of catching Sardines:
"The nets, which are of the lightest
possible material, are paid oat in a long
line behind the boat, which drags the entire
Beet of nets after it Bteadily. A man stands
in the stern and throws across the net
handfuls of prepared cod roe, commonly
called "rogue." As it falls on either
side of the net the fish dart through the
net to catch it and are caught by the giils
in doing so The long sank trammel I
have mentiened would require ten or a
dozen men to haul it in, but as it is worked
on board the steamboats chiefly, it is wound
in by the engine. Besides the above nets
they use the large seine, or sean, and the
ground sean, the mullet net and the shrimp
Det, and there are some lift nets I could
not get at. At times a prodigious number
of gray mullet are got by putting a long
net across the mouth of the creek at low
water aod weighing down the corks with
large stones. When the tide has oome up
to its full height the ends of the net are
Bbaken violently, the stones topple off, and
the corks rise to the top, and every fish
which has entered the creek with the tide
is enclosed, without any disturbance or
alarm. A gentleman I met told me that
he had been out on the day that I saw him,
and taken three Or four thousand pounds
weight of mullet in that way, a large shoal
having entered the creek, the whole of
which were captured. Some species of the
gray mullet will, however, when thus enclosed,
leap over the corks, and when this
is apprehended it is requisite to prop the
net up above the surface."

Leprosy Revived.?It is stated in
some of the foreign journals that this terri
ble disease of the scriptural era, and which
was an epidemio throughout Europe from
tne tenth to the sixteenth century, is now
developing itself in various parts of. the
world with all its ancient repulsive characteristics.
It prevails extensively in two
widely sundered countries, the West Indies
and Norway. In the latter, according to
the statistics recently published, there are
do less than 2,000 lepers. The tubercular
form of the disorder, whieh is more common,
and unfortunately muoh more horrible
than that whioh affeots the joints, is pronounoed
by the physicians incurable. It
would be more modest iu the faculty to say
[ that they have not discovered a cure for it.
In all probability the antidote exists, although
it has not yet been brought to light.
Meanwhile, it is satisfactory to know that
it is not oont&gious. Multitudes of lepers
perished miserably in the early ages, abandoned
to their fate in consequence of the
universal belief that whosoever touched
them must necessarily share in their calamity.
It is now kaown that the distemper
is incommunicable in that way, although,
like scrofula and some other outaneous and
glandular diseases, it may be transmitted in
families, a terrible heirloom, from generation
to generation. The malady is very rare in
this country, and long may we be exempted
from th e soourge.
The. Termini of the Atlantic Cable.
Heart's Content, where the Atlantic Cable
is working on this Bide of the world, is
- -? ? 11 lv?? ????? fpnrn tha
a Biiiaii uuy \jr uutuj pivjcuNug kvui *mw
east side of Trinity Bay, .00 the Island of
Newfoundland, latitude 40 degrees 50 minutes,
longitude 52 degrees 20 minutes.
The settlement, notwithstanding its romantic
name, is only a small oolleotion of fishing
huts, as are two adjaeent settlements,
known as Heart's Ease and Heart's Delight.
The settlers who named these places must
have been not only of a romantio turn of
mind, but contented and unambitious
persons.
The Island of Valentia, the Irish terminus
of the Atlantio Cable, is about six
thousand aores in extent. It has three
proprietors, of whom the Knight of Kerry
is chief, the others being Trinity College,
Dublin, and Colonel Herbert of Muckrosa
The population is about two thousand, but
although the Knight is a staunch Protestant,
his oo-religionists do not number more than
one hundred and fifty The harmony of
this little community (says a correspondent
of the London Star) is, however, undisturbed
by religious discord. The old priest,
who is now between eighty and ninety years
of age, has had obarge of the parish for
half a century, and his watchword has always
been "Peace." The average value of
land is about 15 shillings an aore. Muoh
more of it is used for grazing purposes than
for cultivation, the principal article manufactured
being butter. Most of the cottages
are simply small hovels; but there is a
considerable number of a better class, and
the peasantry have a well-fed comfortable
appearanoe. They owe much to the
Knight, who spends nearly the whole of
the income he derives from the property in
improvements and in giving employment to
the people.
She Wouldn't Marry a Mechanic.
A young man oommenoed visiting a
young woman, and appeared to be well
pleased. One evening he called when it
was quite late, which led the young girl to
inquire where he had been.
"I had to work to-night."
"What! do you work for a living?" she
inquired in astonishment.
"Certainly, replied the young man, "I
am a meohanio."
"I dislike the name of a meohanio," and
she turned up her pretty nose.
That was the last time the young man
visited the young woman. He is now a
wealthy man, and he has one of the best
women in the coantry for his wife.

Thousands have bitterly regretted their
folly who have tnrned their backs to honesty.
A tew years have taught them a severe
lesson.
Railroad Signals.?Those who travel
on the cars, or who witness the movement
of the trains, and the men who operated the
roads, may desire to know the signals need
everywhere on the roads. The signals are
given by the whistle, lanterns, flags, and
motion of the arms. Their signification is:
One whistle?"Down brakes."
Two whistles?"Off brakes "
Three whistles?"Back np."
Continued whistle?"Danger."
A rapid succession of short whistles is the
i cattle alarm, at which the brakes will always
be put down.
A sweeping parting of hands on level of
the eye is the signals to "go ahead."
A downward motion of one hand, with
extended arms, "to stop."
A beckoning motion of one band, "to
back."
A lantern raised and lowered vertically
is a signal for "starting;" swung at right
angles, or crosswise the track, "to stop ;"
| swung in a circle, "baok the train."
A red flag waved up the track must be
I regarded as a signal of danger. So with
other signals given with energy.
Hoisted at a station is a signal for a train
to stop.
Stock op by the road side is a signal of
danger on the track ahead.
Carried onfoTled upon the engine is a
warning that another engine or train is on
its way.
Strange but True?a Northern
Woman's Idea of Southern Morality.
?The Nashville Dispatch gives the following
amusing account of a Northern miscegj
enation affair. It says:
A short time since a lady of some pretensions
arrived in the oity, and securing
j comfortable quarters, settled down. She
gave her former plaoe of residence as In
duos, that State of easy marriage and quick
divorce. A few days ago the lady needing
the services of a physician, imagine the
surprise of the dootor on notioing that the
color of the infant did not at all correspond
with the complexion of the mother. Kinky
hair, flattened nose and thiok lips, gave indubitable
evidence of African descent.?
Our medical friend announced the result
of his observations, whioh were received
very calmly by his fair patient. "She was
aware," she said, "and indeed those were
her reasons for ooming to this city. In her
State snob a thing would be talked about,
bat here, she presamed, snob a thing was
not uncommon. Farther, she would like to
dispose of it (the child) in some manner;
could the Doctor afford her any assistance
in this direotion also ? "No, madam," replied
the Dootor, "such property is of no
value here now. A few days ago it would
have been worth a hundred dollars, but
there is no market for it now." We have
yet to learn what disposition has been made
by the mother of her dusky offspring. The
Doctor's dry joke doubtless astonished her.
Life in Texas. ? A correspondent
writes: Almost every man yon meet carries
a huge revolver in his belt and probably
has a bowie knife under his vest. They
langh at the little revolvers oommon at the
North; call them popguns, and respect
nothing bat a navy six-shooter or a Ballard
rifle. Look aronnd in any bar-room, and
yon will see marks of Derringer and revolver
ballets all around the wails. In every
altercation the rale is to shoot first and argue
afterwards At Riobmo h1, a little town
not far from here, I was waiting at the depot
the other day, and it happened that a
fight took plaoe in a bar-room opposite.
The scuffle had lasted about fifteen seoonds,
when a brawny Texan near me, who at first
had manifested an indication to oross over
and see the fun, turned on his heels with a
oountecacce of deep disgust, exclaiming.
1 "They're Irish. They're not Americans,
or there'd have been a shot fired cow." inquiry
showed that he was right, and this
little icoident gave me a curious glimpse
into the customs of the country. Human
life is of less account here than horse-flesb.
There has been nobody hung for murder in
Texas for the last ten years, but ageat many
have been bung for horse-stealing.
Is Not Prepared to Pat.?A Philadelphia
paper publishes the following letter,
received by a firm in that oity from a North

Concord, N. C., August 6, 1866. ]
Sirs : Tours of August 3, 1866, came
to band this morning, with notice that you
had drawn on me.
Your draft will not be honored, nor will
the account which you hold against me be
paid until it suits my convenience.
I am well informed that you were one
of a party of Southern crushers and Northern
radicals and fanatics, who gave your
means for the destruction of Southern peo
pie, my property and my life among the
rest.
My life was narrowly saved and my health
permanently injured by two most fatal gunshot
wounds. What funds I may now have
saved from the vandalism of bummers, is
needed otherwise than in turning the other

Method op Rendering all Sorts op
Paper Fire-proof?This astonishing effect
is prodaoed by the most simple process.
It is only necessary, whether the paper be
plain, written, or printed on, or painted for
hangings, to be immersed in a strong solution
of alum-water and then thoroughly
dry it, when it will immediately become
fire proof. This experiment is readily ascertained,
by holding a slip of paper over a
candle. Some paper, however, will require
to imbibe more of the solution than it may
receive by a single immersion, in which
case, the operation of dipping and drying
must be repeated till such paper becomes
fully saturated, when, it is positively asserted,
neither the color nor the quality of the
paper will be in tbe smallest degree affeoted
; bat that on tbe contrary, both will be
even improved. ?

The obliging clerk did so, bat several more
than a few minutes elapsed, and the young
lady did not return. The little satchel was

PROSPECTUS OF
THE SUMTER NEWS! >
THE undersigned proposes to Issue at Sumter, S. C., on
or about the first of June, 1866, a weekly paper, to be en- T
titled
"THE SUMTER HEWS." p
This Journal will be devoted to literature, morality and
general intelligence, and the promulgation of the occurren- (
ces of the day?political and general?which may be of ?
Interest to the people. d
No pains or expense will be spared by the proprietor to
render his paper acceptable to all classes of readers. He tl
confidently refers to his long experience (of 32 years) In s
the past as a Journalist, to secure for him the patronage of p
the people of bis District. e
He congratulates himself thnt he can select for the In- e
anguratlon of his enterprise no better occasslon than the r
present. At the termination of a long and bloody straggle, c
in which the principles of free government have been over- c
ridden and the Constitution trampled underfoot?In which
all the angry passions of frail and erring human nature have c
been exdted and exercised?the Angel of Peace Is now a
about to unfold her wings over all sections of our com- r
mon country, and once again to gniher around ber the c
goodness, the strength and the magnitude of the American t
Union. At such a time as this, he can have no better t
landmarks by which, for the good of his country, to direct t
hia rnnrsr than the Union, the Constitution and the Presi
dent of the United States, and he pledges himself to sustain,
as far as he to able, the purity and Integrity of the one,
and the firmness, and the patriotism and the statesmanship
of the other.
To the people of Somter District he confidently appeals
for their sympathy and patronage.
Identified as he has ever been with them and their interest
In the past, he asks to be allowed tbe same pirvllegc
in the future. He cipects to buiid up for them a District
paper, the course of which will be consistent prudent and
patriotic, and one which he hopes will not be wanting in
Its influence on tbe education and training of the rising
generation.
The services of an able and talented editor have been
secured, who will devote his time and abilities to the entertainment
and instruction of bis patrons, and who will
take pleasure in seconding the efforts of the undersigned,
to render THE SUMTER NEWS worthy of the confidence
and support of a discriminating public.

Office National Intelligencer,
Washixqtox, October 1865.
Thlx standard Journal founded more than half a century 1
since had been re-organized with an able and active corps
of editors, reporters, and correspondents. It is of enlarged
size, superior typography, and Is published at rates comparing
favorably with any other first class paper. It lias access
to authentic sources of original intelligence In politics, 1
commerce, science, and literature. The intimate Intercourse
between the founders of the national Intelligencer
and thoso men who represented the extremes of opinions
which have culminated In the late war, prove the moderation
and integrity which have ever marked its course. This
Intercourse and respect embraced Webster, Calhoun, Clay
and Benton. It had received the confidence of the* all.?
The national Intelligencer is conducted scrupulously upon
the principles which have ever guided it It has Uvea to
feel the value of moderation and national fraternity, and
rajoice to perceive that the American people respect them
likewise.
The Intelligencer will extend a cordial and sincere support
to the beneficent policy of President Johnson. It will
favor such provision for the legal and social protection o
the emancipated negro, as the several States may deem jus
and proper. Qualified by location and sentiment to mediate
betweon the wants of one section and the resources of
another, it will advocate and aid in translerlngto the South 1
those elements of capital and enterprises Jndispcnsible to '
the prosperity of every community.
To enable the Inteligencer to fulfill this measure of use- '
fulness, It respectfully asks the support to which its past
moderation and sincere devotion for the common wcltee
entitle It In this sense It Is now offfered to the public as a
medium of intelligence, which cannot be surpassed by any
journal published in the National Metropolis.

A WEEKLY VISITOR
TO THE
FARM, WORKSHOP & FAMILY CIRCLE.
IT is proposed to publish at Columbia,
a.sf>oou as a sufficient number of bona fvic subscribers
are sent In. a Weekly AGRICULTURAL and FAMILY
NEWSPAPER, under the above tide.
In this enterprise are engaged the best practical and scientific
Agricultural writers in the State, while the Literary,
News, Manufacturing and Religious Departments will be
under tbe control of the best Literary talent of the South.
We shall also devote a space to the Mechanic Arts, which
will be conducted by two of the best Mechanic* In the
South.
The necessity for such a work at this time is evident to
all. Our change of labor necessarily involves changes in
the u. 1111!n industrial tiiirsiilis of the South. To arrive at 1
the best and most remunerative kind and mode will require
experiments nnd discussion, and in no other way can the
people be so well Informed on such matters than through
the columns of a journal such as we propose to publish.
It will require 2,500 subscribers to insure the commencement
of the enterprise. This number can be easily obtained
if those who wish to sustain such a journal at the South
will exert themselves among their friends.
Wc promise tliem a WEEKLY VISITOR equal in contents
and typographical execution to any in America.
Price ?3 per annum, currency, or A2 coin, to be paid 6
months in advance, on receipt of the first number.
