ftjjc ^nkrscit Intelligenter. THTJSSDAY SOxtNim NOV. 30, 1865. ^jf?" Reading .Matter 'on .Every PageT -1???:-?? With this issue wo present the readers of the Intelligencer with tho double sheet which has been promised for same tiuio past. Untoward circum? stances beyond our control have forced the issue of a half-sheet ever since we made that promise, and the reader can hardly foci as much gratification al tho present appearance of tho Ijilelllgcncer as our* selves. .In sending forth this complete and proper size, it is a fitting occasion to impress upon the minds of the patrons one or two interesting facts. To begin with, then, thore are scores who will read this number whose times have expired, but they nre, perhaps unconscious of ttic ?*ct.- Being in- J debted for the pi -sent, (and many for the past,) it is incumbent upon each subscriber to examine into the case in,order to receivo the paper in the future. ? Knowing the scarcity of money in the country, and the ?reat desire for information of a general char? acter, it has been a too common piactice with us to become liberal aiyl generous, and allow the paper oontinucd to those who have never yet made an > effort to recompense us pecuniarily. This liber? ality on our part is fast oozing out. The weekly bills of our office must be .settled, and they arc too pressing and urgent'to admit of ft further continu? ance of this policy. Therefore, fair notice is given that thoMiames of?those in arrears will be stricken off the list on the 1st day of January next, and a rule adopted in every instance to require payment in advance. This is absolutely necessary, else we should feel- the greatest pleasure imaginable in supplying the people gratis '. Such as aro in doubt about their standing on our books, aro cordially . invited to give us a call at the earliest practicable .moment, and we shall bo extremely happy to im? part the necessary information. Having printed a large number of blank receipts, wc are decidedly anxious to distribute them' among subscribers, ? prcperly made oat and signed. And wc would , further impress this matter by directing the par? ticular attention of our village patrons to the gen? eral tenbr of this article. The majority of sub? scribers in the village arc in arrears, and there can be no moro acceptable timo for payment, than this week and next. " Stand not on the order of your coming?but come at once." --?s,?: DIVINE SEE VICE. We arc requested- to state that tho Rev. W. E. Walters will preach in the Baptist Church in this village on next Lord's Day. . -* HOT SUPPER. ?The ladies of the Episcopal congregation will give a Hot Supper at the Benson House on to-mor? row (Friday) night, at 7 o'clock, for the benefit of tho Episcopal Church of this village. Admittance, Twenty-Five Cent*. -c ? "BILL A&P." ? ? In answer to many and pressing inquiries in regard to Bill Arp, the Petersburg Index states that ho is Mr. C2tarlcs.H. Snsith, of Borne, Georgia Ho is a prominent man in his section,- and is a candidate for the Georgia Slate Senate. -:-1-0--1_ THE 2L'JLS. Wc have the gratifying announcement to make that the. contracts for the various mail routes throughout this District have been made by the* Postmaster General, and that all the routes from this place prior to the war are re-established.?' The contracts begin on the first week nl Janu ary. -1-0-_<2_ GRAND LODGE OF d. F. V. The Grand Lodge of Ancient Frco Masons met ?n Columbia on Tuesday night, 21st instant. TI?c following officers were elected: James L. Oer, K. W. Grand Master; - NAsn,lt. W. D. G. M.; A. G. Mackey, R. W. Grand Secretary, and H. Schroder, R. W. Grand Treasurer. -:-?,-: ARE YOU INSURED ! If not, we direct your immediate attention to the fact that Mr. A, B. Towers, of this village, is the authorized Agent for several reliable Com? panies, and will be happy to afford every informa? tion fa. regard to Iusurnnco when called upon.? Ilia Agency includes Pcndleton, Walhalla and the entire Diatriot of Anderson. Givo him a call at No. 4 Granite Row. " THE BLAck BIRD." Upon our first page will be found an excellent parody .upon Poe's "Rtvcn," descriptivo of the . independent condition of tho frcedman determined to live in*ea?c and luxury. It is lamentably true that there are too many instances constantly before our eyes of idleness and vagrancy, whoso reply to offers ^f employment indicate?" Nevermore! " Tho truth and ingenuity of this ofTusion has in " disced u3 li> make editorial mention of it, for fear that somo of our vcadcrs might be deterred from a perusal by its length. _-.-1?-. MILITARY CHANGE. It has been officially announced that Gen. Q. A. Gilmore has been relieved from the command of the Department of SoutJ* Carolina, and is succeeded by Gen. D.vx. E. Sickles, whose headquarters arc at Charleston. The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald, referring to this change, jays: " In view of the unsettled condition of affairs in South Carolina, and the necessity of having, a man of enlsrgsd and liberal conception in com ?mand of tho Military forces, the removal of 0?u. QlXLaiOES was deemed essential." -? THE SOUTH CAROLINA BAPTIST. . I? this issue will be found a Prospectus of a new paper bearing the above title, which it is proposed to publish at this place early in January. The Editorial management will bo under tho immediate and constant .supervision of Rev. W. E. Walters, whose graceful style and eminent abilities are highly "appreciated by the people of this section. With-an assistance from the pens of able and popu? lar writers, there can be no doubt that tho Soulh Carolina Baptistwitf bo made equal to any journal of that*character in the South. As announced hi the "Prospectus, tho basis of the proposed journal is secure, and there can be no doubt of its success * and perpetuity. The typographical execution of ' the Baptist is to be supervised by the same experi? ence as our own paper, and' we can confidently appeal for patronage on this score. The t jrms are moderate, and places the Baptist within reach of the L-mblest and poorest. Tho sue will be nearly equal to the Intelligencer, and. th^c.paper upon which it will bo issued is of supe? rior quahty. The co-operation and support of all iStfho favor this enterprise is cordially invited. OTJE PRESENT DUTY. ? In view of the probability that our Represcnta tivea-will fail-to gain admission into the'approoch ing Congress, and must of nccessitvgplay the ?n tomattm so far as regards their duties as tho exponents of a free and enlightened people, it "bro comcs us to enquire what ie <hc best policy for the people of this Section to pursue. Assuredly, we cannpt bo idle" 6Y listless as to the future, when there 13 so much at issue?when the hopes and as? pirations of tho existing as well as*comiBg genera? tions are involved, and when there is before us an impoverished and desolated land. The fiery, im? petuous blood of Southerners cannot tamely ac? quiesce in a normal condition, and there "must needs be an object towards which ambition and de? sire is directed. In dealing with this subject, there should be no veiling'of our real condition from the eyes of the world. Let it be well understood that ills result of tlic war has upheaved society f nd de? stroyed the foundation of our social system ; that fortunes- arc wrecked, enterprise impeded, and a cbg placed upon the energies of the people such as can only be overcome by diligence and persever? ance. But it should be equally understood that thero is a spirit of independence yet in exislence? nerving the arm and strengthening the heart, which will ;ausc' the name of Southerae -s lo be respected even anrhi-4h?-u-uin and desolation of their homes and the total destructien of all the' hopes cherished in by-gone days. The prcud spirit which animated a patriotic and brave ances? try, placed in similar condition but under different circumstances, should be relumed in the breasts of those who have shown equal courage and devotion in the late contest. The patriots of '70 faund this land impoverished and desolate, yet they did not idly fold their hands and await the coming of pros? perity.. With a determination, unparalleled, they went heartily to work, arid redeemed their country from the thraldom of temporary" oppression and want which it Ltd undergone, and the lapse of a few years found an unexampled prosperity and vigor pervading all classes. True, tho difference then and now is patent and only too keculy felt by this generation. In their revolution, success was in attendance to urge them forward?whilst now there is daily before us much to discourage and dampen the ardor of tho most buoyant and hopeful. Yet wo contend that a stern and pressing duty is incumbent upon tho men and women of the South to grasp from tho shattered and scattered wreck all that is possible, and all that will proro valuable to -id -in rebuilding the fortunes of our people.? Politics may be *3chcwod for a season, and our entire time and energies devoted to the recupera? tion of a country wherein is centered tho affections and the interests, of a people whose greatness is acknowledged, however much they may be derided for conduct which can only be deemed unfortunate. We can afTord, while gathering afrosh industry and enterprise, to give over to'the hands of radicals the reins of power. Let it bo theirs to stand in history as the exponents of such opinions as may govern yet awhilo. If wo remain true to the dic? tates of virtus and, enlightenment, the day is not distant, when there will arise a strong and power? ful party throughout the broad domain of Ihis Union which will silence forever the carpings and discontent of c.-trcmi;fs; and und:r tiic xgls of the Constitution, produce a structure of govern? ment which will far excel tho splendid fabric erected by tho wisdom of the pas". Then it amounts to little if the present is swayed by blinded anS narrow-minded, prejudice. -Having endured greatly heretofore, the Southern mind can yet bear to brook the insults and jeers of those who lack magnanimity, and calmly, pationtly await the dawn of Reason and the advent of Hope. Meanwhile, naught should be neglected which might tend to advancement in culture or pros? perity. ..Educa'hrti, the strongest lover.of mankindi should receive careful" nurture?the youths and maidens who arc to shape the destiny of the South hereafter ought to acquire knowkdgo and learn? ing, coupled with lessous of industry such as have ? in the past been almost wlud'y neglected. Instil into the minds of a rising generation the principles of virtue, and tench them the practice of laudable exertion to obtain means and independence. Look with favor upon every effort of theirs to gain an honest livelihood, and encourage tho.-* who arc neither ashamed or afraid to earn their bread by the"sweat of the face. Drive out from society the false and pernicious idea that respectability con gists in living without labor, an.I that the farmer and tradesmen arc inferior to those who crowd the peavned professions. And youmj men must cease to bo pensioners upon tlie rept'Iation of worthy ancestors, who have long since parted, and rely upon thai name and fame nciovcd by iheir own talent and perseverance. Wher. all this is accom? plished, the South may proudly point to hor sons? fie brave survivors of blood-im-ficlds?as did the mother of'the Gracchi?"These aro my jewels." If .we forsake the path of du y. now so plainly traced, then is it possible that wo may continue the "hewers of wood and drawers of water" that an inflamed passion and frenzied spirit of oppression would make us. We'" speak as unto wise men? judge yc what is said." -?o> HOME POLICE AGAIN. Iu our last issue it was announced that there would be held a meeting of those whose signatures were appended to a certain paper, the object of which was'to-qrganizo a Company for projection and safety iu this community. From causes which it is unnecessary now to mention, the meeting on Saturday proved a complete failure; and upon consultation with gentlemen who have been most ?aefive in (lie organization" proposcd.it has been de? cided that another effort should be in.ido to secure attendance of those who have signed their willing. n;ss to enter into such an organisation. In urging j the matter before this community,.we have not I thou-ht it proper or politic to mention all the in \ dujomcnts which should incite the law-abiding and ? lnncst citizm to assist in perfecting so desirable ; an end, and neither do we intend at this time to j present fully the dangers and difficulties which possibly may be averted .by timely action. Every intelligent and thoughtful man must of necessity he apprise.! of the cxistiug uncertainty which will attend this section f,or months to come. The posi? tive and unqualified action of a nmuerous class is too well known to need recapitulation now, and there can be no doubt as .to the erroneous and vi? cious -doctrines Avhich hare been inculcated in their minds. We speak cautiously and with dis ' crction, for there is naught to-excite our apprehen? sions and fears among that particular class in the aggregate, and it would be our farthest intention to bring upon these unfortunate beimjs-a reproach unworthily.~, Yet we hare seen and heard enough to convince us that the evil-disposed! instigated by tho lowest and most degraded of white men, are intent upon serious miscbiuf. This much we arc bound to declare, as a sentinel upon the watchtow cr, and again would earnestly urge the prompt and efficient enrolment of such as aro competent to pro servo the public peace. " A word to the wiso is sufficient." . Another effort will be made to perfect the organ? ization which has been contemplated in this vil? lage. Saturday morning, at half-past nine o'clock, It is hoped there/will be a full"attendance. Officers will bo elected, and the legitimate objects (/ the organization consummated. In co-?parati jn with this movement, wc trust there will bo others throughout the District for a similar purpose.. Se? lect tried, faithful and discreet men lo lead in this tender, and there can be no doubt as to the ulti? mate beneficial results. Assuredly, the ccOipletion of such designs cannot militate against the weal of our common country. THE EDGEFIELD ADVERTISER. This popular, able and influential journal again graces the table, of the IntcUiycficcr.. For months past its absence has been lamented and its clear, luminous face been sadly missed ; but the mail the other night brought to view the Advertiser, and with an earnestness wfnch wc should extend to an old friend after long separation, we unfolded its pleasant pages and sought for its wonted variety cf interesting matter. Not one whit of abatement in its excellent management and the old-time fresh? ness and vigor is fully apparent. Tins yefta our decision, and we have written it down that the genial, gifted Bacox. might know that he is still ap? preciated in Ibis' quarter.

THE undersigned ha3 detertiined early in Janua? ry, 18GG, lo commence the publication of a weekly Religious Journal, at.Anderson C. H., S. C, to be* entitled THE SOUTH CAROLINA BAPTIST. I; will be the first great aim of THE SOUTH CAROLINA BAPTIST to convey tho general news in relation to the Denomination atTarge, thereby rendering it an interesting and attractive compan? ion in every Baptist family. No expense or effort will be spared lo tccure the earliest and most reli? able information of the .important and interesting * wortnrgTof BaptTsTChurchcs in general, together with the operation of our Missionary Boards, and every.benevolent institution dud enterprise of.tha. day. Therefore, while THE SOUTH CAROLiNA BAPTIST will be strictly Denominational, "ear* nestly contending for tho faith once delivered trV the Saints," zealously contending for- the Truth? and combatting error and superstitution in ever/ form in which they present themselves, yet theses opinions will be expressed with that kitldncs." and affection becoming a professed Christian. The columns of the paper will also bo opened to those who may disagree with the opinions cx-? pressed. * As this will be, perhaps; the only paper taken by many in tni? community^?visiting, it may btij the* humble abodes of some unable to take others, " it is deemed proper and important, in judiciously arranged columns, to give all the important local, political and literary news of the day, rendering it, # in evcry'sense, a family paper. The paper will be of medium size, well printed) having tho benefit of superior materials, and. tho entire office management being under the immedi? ate superintendence of experienced printers. The necessary capital to start this enterprise having been secured in.advance; flio services of somo of our ablest brethren, in' this and' other* States, pledged as contributors and corresponding Editors, and all the necessary arrangements having boon deliberately made with reference io. stability . aud good faith, all who may feel inclined to favor the enterprise may confidently subscribe, and re? mit advance payments, assured that there Till bo no disappointment. The Editor, h.-.ving been partially disqualified for the arduous duties of the Pulpit, by four.long years of hardship, exposure and service in our " country's cause, feels impelled to resort to this as a means by which, under the blessing of Provi- ? dence, he may assist iu rebuilding tho waste places of Zion. The mails wiR be in regular operation ajjain by the time of the publication of the paper, and this being the first enterprise of tho character ever es? tablished in Anderson, he hopes to secure ?prompt, ly the- aid and co-operatto'n of all who love the Lord. ?
