that he could not intervene?the ordinance
merely saying levies shall be suspended, but not

?- There is a company of Arabian jugglers per-'

who have visited this country. These
performers appear to take their eyes out, balance
themselves upright on a naked sword, eat stones,
nails, glass, &&, cactus leaves and fire, run sharp
instruments like iron skewers through the tongue,
charm and devour serpents, and perform like revolting
but most surprising and inexplicable feats.
The Huntsville (Ala.,) Indqwudcnt says
that a large portion of tne cotton now in the fields
will not be gathered, because of the inability of the
planters to get laborers. There are hundreds of
able bodied negro men in the county and about
town, who utterly refuse to do any regular work,
contented to cultivate a little truck patch, and to
do trifling jobs about the streets, simply to supply
their necessary wants of food. And the few that
pretend to work do not do half the work they did
in former times.
Tea has the power to subdue irritability, refresh

food or beverage can. It is a promotive of longevity,

The Militaiy Commission which has been in
session for some time at Columbia, engaged in the
trial of parties concerned in robbing the South Carolina
Railroad on the Sth November, 1866, have
recently rendered a decision in the case of E. Carter
Harris, white. Harris, it will be remembered,
was charged with complicity in tearing up the
track near Columbia, and investigating that case
the facts concerning the robbery were elicited.
The evidence was clear, and the Commission sentenced
Harris to one year's hard labor at Fort Macon,

The Ashville (N. C.) News says: "A few
weeks ago. a jparty of gentlemen in Haywood
county killed eight Bears in one day's hunt A
lady and her son discovered five of these shaggy
monsters committing havoc in the cornfield, and
starting the dog for them, he drove them into a
tree. It was late in the evening, and certain aim
could not be taken, so the lady built a fire beneath
the tree, and kept her ceaseless vigils until morning.
The son then killed two, but the other three
escaped. These auinials are becoming very troublesome
and destructive in the corn fields and among
the swine. There is no "mast" in the mountains
this Fall, and hunger drives Bruin to the settlements
for food."
It mav surprise many to learn, what is nevertheless
a fact, that fulllv one-third of the whole
amount of sugar consumed in the world is manufactured
from beets; and not only so, but immense
quantities of raw beet sugar are imported in England
for their refineries, competing very successfully
with the cane sugar from their own colonies.?
While the.soil needed by the sugar beets is very
different from the grape-growing soil, the required
climate is identical. Much money has been sunk
iu abortive attempts to raise it in the _ moist air of
the British Islands. But in California it finds a
congenial home, and already San Francisco refines
over 12,000 tons of raw sugar yearly, with a present
capacity in her four refineries to greatly enlarge
the production.

CONTRACTS FOR NEXT YEAR.
"We have again arrived at the annual transition
period, for which we are indebted to the "march
of freedom." The contracts of frcedinen for this
year are nearly out, and of course a general transmigration
is the result; for the almost universal
rule is, that a free American citizen must change
his base once a year. A new home and new scenes
of labor, with an interval of three or four weeks
for rest, have wondrous charms for the toil-worn
sons of Africa.
It is, however, greatly to the interest of the
community that this transition period should be
abbreviated as much as possible. Vagrancy is a
jgreat evil, and the sooner the fieedmcn become
fettled in their homes for next year, the better it
will be for them, and indeed for the whole community.
We would, therefore, suggest to our farmers
the propriety of making contracts for 1868 at
an early a day as possible. The number of freedmen
who have made no arrangements yet is large.
These freedmcn are, in a manner, on the public
until they contract, and being without homes, they
are liable to get themselves into mischief.
The fact that the Convention will probably meet
next month, and that many of this class have very
extravagant notions about what it is going to do
for them, is another consideration in favor of early
contracts. The presence, in the District, of a
number of these persons who have nothing to do
but hold political meetings, is a curse from which
we have thus far been exempt It is hoped that
at this time we may enjoy a similar exemption;
but the best way to accomplish this end, is to get
the freedmen settled in their new homes.
THE "CHARLESTON DAILY NEWS."
The proprietors of the above popular journal announce,
that on and after the first of January, 1868,
the Daily will be furnished to subscribers at $6 per
year, and the tri-weekly at $3. This will render it
the cheapest first-class daily paper in the Southern
States, of which wc know anything about The
News is a live paper, fully up to the spirit of the
age, and an investment of $6 in this way will pay
a rousing dividend. Subscriptions left at the Enquirer
Office will be promptly forwarded.
WHAT IS NEEDED.
The press is full of advice to the people of the
South, as to the best means of restoring the prosperity
of former times. Among other remedies
prescribed, are changes in the system of labor, improved
modes of culture, greater diversity of crops,
increase of population through immigration, &c.
These may be very beneficial remedies, doubtless
most of them are; but they all come short of ^he
desired end; for they all require something else to
make theui produce their good fruits. None
of them can, of itself and unassisted, bring prosperity
to our country. The importation of immigrants
and the improvement of our agriculture
may increase the yield of our fields; but they will
not fill the pockets, or even the mouths, of the
population we have already.
Many persons talk about "immigrants," as if they
thought that useful class of people were coming
here 6olely to make money for their employers. This
is a mistake. Immigrants, if they come here at
all, will come for the purpose of getting homes for
themselves, and surrounding themselves with comforts
and wealth, unattainable in their native countries.
The benefit which the State will derive from
their labors, will not at all consist in an increase of
wealth to her old citizens. Their earnings will be
their own, and not to be divided among the whole
population; though at the same time, an influx of
industrious immigrants would naturally add to the
value of our lands and other property.
But the great lack of our country at present, is
industrious and energetic young men. While we
have plenty of room for immigrants, we have a
?? n?-.>i. nnn.nnvtn/virs in nnr midst
VCIy lUl^C UlUljr Vi UVH J/IVWUW/.M ... WW*
who might, with proper energy, double our crops
every year. What is the use of sending agents
throughout Europe to drum up recruits for our
population, while so much soil is left idle by the
population we have ? If these agents were to travel
throughout our State, and use their eloquence
in inducing our unemployed young men to "immigrate"
into the cornfield with hoes and plows, they
would be conferring a greater favor upon the State.
The employment of all our people, in some useful
and productive branch of industry, is the only
scheme that offers a fair promise of restoring our
prosperity. The prosperity of a State is comprised
in that of individuals. It is because our people arc
individually poorer, that the State is now suffering
; and when our people thoroughly comprehend
this and make an energetic and continued effort,
each for himself, to retrieve their fortunes, State
prosperity will return and hard times will disappear.
liut this effort has, as yet, been vigorously
made by a few only. Our people have "accepted
the situation" politically; but many of them have
utterly failed to accept the financial situation.
Many endeavor to forget how poor they are, and,
instead of grappling with their difficulties to overcome
them, try to keep up appearances of being
pretty well off. This plan may save some labor
now; but it will not do to. persist in. We are an
impoverished people, and we might as well live in
accordance with the facts. Our fortunes are almost
universally yet to be made. If wc do nol
help ourselves, others will not lielp us. Shall wc
go to work in earnest, or shall we sit down and
wait for luck ?

ject was accomplished, hy the election of J. R
Parrott President, and II. M. Shelly Secretary.thiring
the "balloting, a negro who waj present a
a spectator, attempted to vote in the place of a
absent delegate; in consequence of which prooeed
ing, he was brought before the bar of the augus
assembly, convicted of contempt, and ignominiouf

subject of relief.
The Virginia Convention has fixed on $8 pe
day as the rate at which its members are to b

table. A petition, praying for a homestead lav

The Louisiana Convention has not yet got t
work properly, speeches being the order of th
day. Cromwell, a negro member, made a wind
speech with reference to what the negroes will dt
saying he was ready for revolution. Pinchbacl
another negro, replied to Cromwell. He said the
the negroes cannot getany rights, unless the white
see fit to grant them; that talking about a war c
races is all humbug, in view of the gi-eat disparit
in numbers between them; that the old slaveholc
era of the South were, and still are, the best friend
of the negro race, &c. On the 12th, a resolutio
was offered, that the Convention proceed at one

TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.
ie Bascomville Lodge, No. 89, A.*. F.\ M.\
el December 7th, 1807.
e- At its regular Communication, to-day, t
s" Lodge adopted the following Preamble and Re
r- lutions: . .
Whereas, lit has pleased God, in His all-w
Providence, to remove from us, by death, c
h Brother Franqis P. Ingram, greatly endeared
us by his msfl&y social excellencies and manly y
> tucs; and, Whereas, it becomes us to bow w
humble resignation before our Great Architect a
Sovereign Ruler of the universe, therefore,
Resolved, let; That in this painful dispensati<
Je we are forcibly admonished of our own frailty n
8 mortality, and should be excited to greater Par
^ fulness in accomplishing the beneficent ends of (
to time-honored fraternity, and to more earnest p
!(* paration for the solemn hour of death, which
to fast approaching.
i* 79/1 That we will endeavor to emuli
the virtues so clearly exhibited in the manly int<
k rity of his character, in the remarkable kindn
ie and generosity which endeared him to society,
is his firm devotion to his friends, and in his Char
n- to the children of suffering and want.
Resolved, 3d. That deeply sympathising w
his bereaved family, we hereby offer to them <
condolence in this dark hour of their affliction, a
of invoke for them the special blessing of the orpha
at God, and plead His promises. Jer. 49: 11.
Resolved, 4th. That, in testimony of our gri
we will wear the usual badge of mourning, a
c_ drape our Hall with the memento of Death,
?d thirty days.
ie Resolved, 5th. That a page in our Records
t. dedicated to his memory.
Resolved, Gth. That a copy of the foregoing
at sent to his sorrowing family and also, that a co
id be sent to the Yorkville Enquirer, for publi
je tion.

The Nash Speech. ,
The last item in this affair is another rhetorical f
denial of the matter by Nash,
jo. Firewood. - <

same time put money into his purse. I
?t- The Constitutional Convention. ,
ie It seems to be expected on all hands now that (
he there is to be a Convention; and very few believe 1
that it makes a button's difference whether there '
be a Convention or not. The negro's prospects i
were never darker than they are to-day. The j

At the University. j
'gt Mr. Boggs, of Fairfield, delivered the Annual 0^
ration of the Euphradian Society in the Chapel of j
t0 the University, on Thursday the 12th instant
0Q There is now no Christmas recess, with the exception
of Christmas day itself, we understand.
The regular series of Lectures before the public
by the professors of the University, will now go on
^ regularly every Thursday evening. We under- ]
w, stand that Prof. Sachtleben will deliver the lecture
lis of the present week,
rd About Newspapers.
nd As the new year is near, and as that is a good
xt time to begin subscriptions for periodicals, v^o pro- !
pose to throw out a few suggestions upon the sub- ,
jeet We shall say nothing as to sectarian organs;
because every churchman is expected to take his ;
1 church paper and no doubt is fully advised all aiaf
bout that Nor shall we speak of political or gen- ,
' eral-news newspapers; because these go so much (
by party and locality that advice or information can <
hardly l)e needed, and would not be followed if i
needed. We shull try to confine ourself to liters- ,
^ ry, special, and little-known organs.
n" Of literary newspapers, we shall mention a few '
v.e both Northern and Southern.
eur Whoever wants an able, independent, and elevated
weekly literary paper, Southern in every respect,
may find it in Southern Society, published
ng at 22C West Baltimore Street, Baltimore,* at $4 a j
ng year. Or, if he wish a paper in most respects the ;
js same as this, hut lighter in tone and more devoted
^ to fiction?something in the style of Bonner's Led- i
jg. ger of New York?but Southern and elevated in 1
,je every respect, he may find what he wants in The
iq Southern Home Journal-, published by J. Y. Slayj'
ter & Co., 293 West Baltimore Street, Baltimore,
at 13 a year.
[Ilj # #
in_ Whoever wishes the best weekly literary paper
ur in New York, will find it in tha Round Tulle, pubng
lished at 132 Nassau Street, at $6 a year. Unless (
he prefer the lighter, societal, gossippy, excessive- ,
ly proper Home Journal of New York, published
at $3 a year. The best eclectic weekly in America
,h- is The Week, 132 Nassau Street, New York, $3 a
fo. year. 1
We have but two Southern monthly magazines
that claim to be purely literary, we believe?Scott's
Monthly, Atlanta, Georgia, $5 a year; and The
Land We Love, Charlotte, N. C., $3 a year. The
characters, respectively, of these journals are generally
weil known. ;
[B- The Richmond Eclectic is a monthly of superior
character in its line. It is to be removed to Baltimore
in January, and continued upon the same
plan. This is the only Southern Eclectic that we
have, and the price is $4 a year. The Eclectic of
New York, published by Bidwcll, is au old institution,
and is still flourishing.
5 America has two great Quarterlies?one Southern
and the other Northern?both of great charac?
ters, great ability and uncompromising sectiouality.
The one is The Southern Review, published by
? Dr. Bledsoe in Baltimore; and the other is the
North American Review, published in Boston, un?
der the editorial charge, we believe, of Prof. Lowell
These are each to be had for, we believe, $5 a year.
m" Those who want a religious newspaper without
creed ? one that ignores and deplores creeds, will
find The Liberal Christian, now in its twenty n
second volume, something to their taste. It is pub^
lished weekly at 82, Nassau Street, New York, at
$3 a year..
There are several educational journals published;
en but they are mostly in the interests of some pub>d,
lisher of schoolbooks, and are all Northern. We
in- cannot mention any one as in our opinion superior
ps, to all the others.
pie Whoever wunts a Southern weekly newspaper
srs in German, will find Die. Charlestoner Zcitung,
in published by Erckman & Co., of Charleston, at $3
es- a year, a capital paper.
Whoever wants to know all about bees, will find
rns an excellent little monthly, devoted exclusively to
that subject, in the American Bee Journal, publ'-t.
lv?? Qrtmunl Wflffnaw WooltmcrfAn H

at $2 a year. It contains twenty pages of doubleon
columned octavo.
int Whoever wants an able weekly expositor of the
ge- Swcdenborgian Doctrines will find the New Jeru3Ty
salem Messenger, No. 20, Cooper Union, New
York, the best, at $3 a year. The best monthly
in that faith is the New Jerusalem Magazine, $3
wn a year, T. H. Carter & Son, Boston,
he- Whoever cares to see Phrenology and its cogmt
nate subjects aptly presented once a month by one
ht, of the ablest phrenologists of the time, may find
' the same in the American Phrenological Journal,
|l 389 Broadway, New York, at a cost of $3 a year.
n Sportsmen will enjoy and appreciate the New
ecfc York Clipper.
)si- We consider Halls Journal of Health, New
York, monthly, $1.50 a year, as the best popular
periodical of its class; and one that every invalid,
and every body who desires not to be an invalid,
ought to read.
Whoever wants all the blood, thunder, smut,
h;s crime, and crini-con-stitutionalities generally, will
find the National Police Gazette, ot New York,
the very thing he wants. The very existence of
such a journal is a fearful commentary on Ameriise
can morals.
