THTJESDAY MOUNTS Gr, JAU. 25, 1866. JAMES A. HOYT, Editor. THE CHARLESTON COURIER. "We arc pleased to announce that Mr. 0. W. Faxt, at tho Post Office, is the regular nuthovized Agent of the above named journal, and will recoivc sub? scriptions for the same. He also keeps extra copies for sale, at ten cents each. The issue for January 20 contains the proceedings of the .first-day in the trial of Messrs. Stowers, Keys and Bybi-m. Full reports will be made each day a3 tho trial pro? gresses. ?-* 'THE SOUTH CAROLINA RAILROAD. The gratifying intelligence liasfteachcd us of the completion of this Road to Columbia. The iron for the Greenville and Columbia Itoad, for some time in Charleston awaiting transportation, can now be brought into use, and wc feel assured that the energy and activity of the officers will speedily cause the rebuilding of the few miles necessary to complete tho link of through travel to our commer? cial metropolis, with tho hare exception of the Broad River Bridge. Even this obstacle wo hopo to soo obviated in a few months. -_-H?-. A TRUE MAN AND A TRUE NEWSPAPER. If there is any man, or any journal at the North, says the South Carolinian, to whom and to which the gratitude of the Southern people is due for con? stant, brave, unyiolding adherence to their cause in weal and in woe, that man is the Hon. Bkxja min Wood, and that journal tho New York Daily News. From the beginning he encountered oppo? sition : from the beginning lie fought as boldly for the principles of Southern Independence, as if the stars and bars were throwing their shadows ath ?i wart the building in which lie wrote. And if any man in tho country deserves honor for his motives, admiration for his courage, and encouragement for his labors, it is he who in the midst of enemies al? ways dared to call us friends. As a Southern journaL?a paper adapted in lone and completeness, in sentiment and selection to tho wants of the Southern people, there is he-daily published at the North which approaches in attractiveness tho New York News. It is already circulating by thousands in every State in the South, but we desire to see it in every household. The subscription price is moderate, the news general, the editorials admira? ble, and merchant, planter and mechanic alike will find themselves interested in and instructed by Ub eolumns. LOCAL ITEMS. The Streets.?The Town Council of Anderson has awarded the contract for placing and keeping the streets in repair to our friend, Mr. John* L. Arxold, who has gone to work with commendable zeal and energy to effect the reform which has been 80 long and sadly needed. This is gratifying in? telligence to all whose peregrinations led them to traverse the hitherto misorable apologies for high? ways and by ways in this village. Free Schools.?Wo learn that the Boanl of | Commissioners, at their meeting on Monday last, located thirty-three Schools. The rate established by them is ?10 per scholar. -Firs.?-Early on Tuesday morning the alarm of] fire assembled quite a number of villagers to the residence of Mr. L. T. Arnold, on Main street, from whenco smoko was issuing freely. It seems fiat; from an unknown origin, firo was communi? cated to (he clothing in tho young ladies' room, second story of the building, and but for the timely presence of one-of tho ladies, the flames might have made such progress as to rosult in a total corifla gration of the residence. Promptness and energy soon caused the fire to be extinguished, with the loss, however, of considerable wearing apparel. Evacuated.?For months past there has been an eyo-soro existing on the body corporate of this vil? lage, in the shape of an unlicensed and unrestricted occupation of a prominent building upon the pub? lic square by scores of frcedmcn, of all ages and both sexes. Their simple and quiet occupation would have disturbed no one, but uproarious and indecent conduct on their part was certainly an annoyance to the community, and tho " Frcedmcu's Bureau " on the corner of Main street, south side of the square, was becoming famous for its broils and disturbances. However, ',' all things have an end," and we arc gratified to make the announce? ment that Tuesday last witnessed the conclusion of ] this omnium gatherum. Pursuant to orders from the military, the inmates of this disreputable re? sort were ejected from the house as aforesaid, but not until they had received repeated warnings to procuro homes elsewhere. Wo arc gratified at this evidence that idleness, vagrancy and their atten? dant erilswill not bo tolerated by the "powers ihat be." Pro Tew.?We learn that during the temporary absence^! Lieut. J. Chase, jr., who is in atten? dance upon tho Military Commissior. now silting in Charleston, the Provost Marshal's c?icc at this place is in charge of Lieut. J. E. A sue, of tho First Maine Battalion. Board to Ait-rove Contracts.?The following is the organization of the Board of Commissioners to approve contracts between citizens and frcedmcn. The Board is in session on every Tuesday, Friday nud Saturday : Lieut. J. E. As he, Chm*n., John B. Moore and Elijah AVebb, Esqs., Citizen members. Printe^forms of contract can be had on applica? tion to either member of the Board. " To Ttir* Editor?With compliments of S. Hyde, Corner Benson House." Such was the superscrip? tion placed upon a coupio of mysterious packages found on the Editor's table yesterday. Wo have heard of infernal machines, and their desfructivc ness being concealed in this manner; and it was only a few days ago that some patriot and well wisher for his country attempted the life of a Massachusetts Senator, the redoubtable Sumxee. We eyed the packages suspiciously?turned them over carefully, inspected their size and conjectured their contents. Mr. Hyde is a gentleman, we know, and would not maliciously perpetrate the worst crime known to human laws. But then "discre? tion is the bitter part of valor,", and it was decided that the packages remain unopened until this mys? terious circumstance is heralded to the world through the columns of the Intelligencer, and if the result of the examination produces the death of tho editor and printers interested, then will surviving friends know to whom tho lamentable occurrence is to be attributed, and of courso Hyde will be ar? rested and brought to punishment. In the meantime, while awaiting the denouement of this singular incident, the reader is advised to search our columns for the adveitincincnt of S. Hyde, a.id afterwards ex. .-.line tho choice assort- j ment of g-o*" on hand at Cumcr'of the Ben? son House. His prices are greatly reduced, which p. decided attraction to purchasers. RETROSPECTIVE. It "were well for posterity tlint. the present gen? eration of Southerners should -obtain lessons of wisdom from the past, and endeavor to impress ?upon the new social and political systems now gov? erning nono of thoso effoteand impotent ideas ren? dered obsolete hy the vast changes of untoward events, llilhorto, it has been considered rare and exceptional for lalont, energy and industry, with? out the combination of wealth, totnttain the full measure of success and renown in the South. This has always been crroneons, in our humble opinion, for there arc thousands of Instances all through the records of statesmanship where this heinous doc? trine is controverted. Cut its very prevalence, and the tame acquiescence of aspiring and ambi? tious young men in its truth, almost engrafted it permanently upon the people. We conceive that, with the different relations now existing, there will arise from the ashes of the decayed past a to? tally opposite theory; and it is for the purpose of directing attention to the evils accruing heretofore, that we are induced to ventilate a few thoughts upon this subject. Prior to the war, it was entirely too common for the people, especially of South -Carolina, to rely upon certain prominent individuals for the forma? tion of opinions, local and national. Public af? fairs were entrusted alone to the care of such as were chosen to represent them in tho Stato and Federal Legislatures, and very often the promul gation of views from these agents of the people firmly bound the action of nine-tenths of the masses. Polities were briefly and hastily con? sidered and the conduct of politicians loosely re? garded, for indubitable proof of this proposition, it is only necessary to cite theprominent instance of the disrnpturc of the Democratic party. -Here there was no clear and definite expression of South Carolina, but only the absorbing clement of such ns choose to take the lead. We would not be uiis undcrstoo.l, however, in bringing forwiird this in? stance. Undoubtedly, the political education of the masses induced them to endorao the poliey when they consummated the act of secession. Yet, the history of that naked measure?dismcmber moni of tho Democratic party?proves that the people were not then informed sufficiently as to their interests and the great issues involved. They relied too implicitly upon the ipxc dait of this or that public man, and careless and iudifferent on the subject, another stride brought them to face the issue of secession or submission to sectional rule. When this came, there was but one re? sponse. It was then too late to exercise preven? tive measures, and there was no alternative before us. If these assumptions arc right, then is it not clearly the duty of every lover of his section and country to shape his future course so as to avoid the shoals and qui;ksnnds upon which the vessel was rent in twain ? Must not the leaders hereaf? ter be held to a strict account for their official con? duct? AVe think so, and believe that it is high timo the sovereign voice of the people should be directed to the expression of an earnest determi? nation that the revolutionized system of public policy shall obtain a different impetus from them directly. If those who have been trusted and hon? ored with public confidence heretofore, have not fulfilled their missions worthily, displace them with new men, and sustain the indelible resolution that only thoso who recognize the supremacy of the governed shall fill the high offices and execute important trusts. Above all, encourage tho lamlablo ambition which induces the youthful strength and vigor of the land to deserve your confidence. Let it not be said that the men who jerillcd life and limb in in your defence arc to beset aside for the advance? ment of others less worthy, by their own: deeds and actions. Rcalizo the stern mandate which has created this mighty upheaval of society, and be prepared to act and think in the future for yourselves. With an enlightened and well-inform? ed population, to direct and govern the leaders, wo may truly bclicvo that the prosperity and re? nown of the past will be far exceeded by the fu? ture of our beloved State. -O 1HE MILLS HOUSE. For several weeks the card of this superior and well-managed Hotel?one of the adornments of our Queen Cify?has appeared in our columns, and we tnko pleasure in directing the attention of the trav? eling community to tho advantages and facilities afforded by tho establishment. Located in conve? nient distanco of tho business portion of the city, refitted and re-furnished siucc the war closed, and in charge of gcutlcmen who " know how to keep a hotel," wo are fully persuaded that the Mills House cannot be excelled anywhere in the South. The Proprietor, Mr. Joseph E. Flrcei.t., is not person? ally known to us, but we have the pleasure of nn acquaintance with one of his chief assistants, Mr. Tnos. P. Slider, formerly of the Xcwbcrry Sim, who is an experienced editor and of course au ftiit in all things, hotel-keeping included. -0 Pexdivetox Factory.?We extract the following from tho last issue of the Greenville Enterprise : We learn thabghc Pcndleton Factory, near An? derson Court House, has recently changed hands, Mossr3. Grapv, Hawthorn & Perry, proprietors of McBee's Factory in this District, being the pur? chasers. Prico ?31,500.00. It will be started in a few days upon yarn exclusively, to the full ex? tent of its capacity?about ouo hundred bunches per day. The style of the firm will be Perry, Hawthorn & Graby. Mr. Perry, the Agent, is now having the machinery put in good working order, and ex? pects, in a few days, to supply the demands in that vicinity with good yarn. He expects, for the present, to make his home at the Pcndleton Factory, though he will retain the supervision of thcMc?KE'a Factory. They intend to put it on fine goods so soon as the necessary machinery can be had. The building is brick?50 by 150 feet and two stories high. There is ample room for 3,000 spin? dles with looms. Locality as i3 well known, is healthy and good, being immediately onthcilluc Ridge Railroad. In connection with the Factory, there are t'.UO acres of splendid land attached to it, and the company intend to construct buildings new and upon an improved style. ?-o-?. The New York Express .says : " The crop of cot? ton tnxcd'in 1SGC, we predict, will be very much larger than was anticipated six months since, and if we mistake not, white labor alone will raise one third of the old crop. Tennessee, North Carolina and Arkansas, will raise a great deal of cotton in this way, and the Tennessccans arc wisely devo? ting themselves mainly to cotton production. It is certain that for two or three years hardly any? thing will pay better. The experience of the civil ; war. and the combined skill and capital of the Old World, has proved that the United States can have no rival in a cotton producing country." General Grant expresses the opinion that the 1 necessities of maintaining a large military force in tho South no longer exists, and while he desires to keep there an army sufficient to quell all outbreaks that may occur, he believes that a material reduc? tion can be made with safely. 1HE COTTON QUESTION. It is a subject for congratulation dial tlierc arc i a few men. anil a portion of the journals in the J North, who rightly- appreciate the magnitude of interests involved in the solution of the labor ques? tion in the South, and wo hail with satisfaction the promulgation of souud, practical views among those people where there is a constant effort made to produce false impressions and instil erroneous ideas into tho public mind as to the policy of the Government at this time. The Bostou Journal has the following commentary upon the cotton inter? est and its alliance with the future negro popula? tion of the South. Coming from that self-righte? ous and narrow-minded vicinage, wo think "it worthy of perusal by our readers, as in striking contrast with the visionary and impractical views so frequently emanating from that peculiar sec? tion: Our imports arc enormous, and according to all present indications, will continue so ; and yet, so far as we hear, little or nothing is doing to supply ourselvcs with the only article which is suro to bo in demand for export, and which we have always depended upon mainly for the settlement of out? balances with other countries. Surely, in view of its financial bearings, there is no question which so legitimately comes within the notico of our com? mercial organizations as that of the future supply of cotton; and, important as tho subjects now pressing upon the attention of Congress, no one is more worthy than this of the most careful con? sideration, and of tho most prompt aud vigorous legislation. We have'no desire to disparage the claims of other measures before Congress and the country; hut which of them all, like this, involves the in? dustry of millions of people, and the lives of per? haps hundreds of thousands ? Not now to mention the welfare of the white population of the South, which, by every call of duty and interest wc.of the S?rth, nnd the Government, especially, are bound to promote in all proper ways, the happiness and prosperity, yes, the very existence of the colored race, require at once that the relations of labor be organized and defined ; that idleness and vagrancy be counteracted, and that industry be encouraged and sustained. The estimates of the mortality among these poor creatures, who were but just now rejoicing in their newly acquired freedom, are most affecting and alarming. In some portions of the South twenty-five per cent, of the manumitted slaves arc said to be dy? ing; in Georgia the proportion is believed to be still larger. Is it too much to suppose, in view of all the information now coming to hand, that throughout the Southern States ten per cent, of the freed population will have gone to their graves before next spring ? This would ho four hundred thousand ; equal to the number of inhabitants of Boston and all its suburbs. Can wc fold our hands and be indifferent while this dreadful mortality is going on ? Are wc not responsible, in some meas? ure, for the lives of those men, women nnd chil? dren whom we have virtually taken under our guardianship; and who, throughout the war, looked so loyally toward the Government, aud so expectantly aud trustfully to us ? It was a noble utterance made in our 'hearing not many weeks since, by the highest authority in the land, that the truest humanity is tho safest political econo? my. By helping to save the laboring classes of tho South from needless and untimely death, wo shall assist in saving untold wealth to the South and to !'.ie North ; aud wc shall contribute largely to the speedy- and satisfactory solution of difficult political problems which now threaten to becoino more difficult and unmanageable by tho aggrava? ting circumstances of poverty and perhaps of an? archy. -iO Akiikst of Mosnr.?Col. John S. Mosby, whose dash and daring during the war rendered him con? spicuous among the partisan leaders of the South, has bceu singled out by the War Department for persecution under the still arbitrary system of military rule. Col. Mosby, after having been pa rolciUwith the other officers of Gen. Lee's Army, retired to his home in Fauquier, and engaged in the practice of the law. Accepting the defeat of the cause to which ho had been devoted, he asked only the privilege of pursuing an honorable voca? tion as a quiet and law abiding citizen. This has been denied him. Wc learn that ho iias been ar? rested by military authority, conveyed to Washing? ton, and thrown into prison, in violation of the terms of his parole. It is alleged that the charge against him is that he caused the cxccution,of two Federal soldiers during the war, in retaliation for the murder of some of his own men. What if tho charge be true?were there not many similar in? stances of retaliation on the part of Federal Com? manders ? Is it possible that the War Department proposes to search the gloomy record of civil strife to drag every cuso of Con federate retaliation be? fore "'a military tribunal? Col. Mosby did not shed blood for pastime, or to gratify a savage na? ture. He was a soldier and subject to the stern discipline of war. If, in-his judgment or that of his superiors, the exigencies of tho strife, under flic martial code, demanded a military execution, he but fulfilled a soldier's duty in carrying the harsh sentence into effect. The gcntlo eyes of Peace should not dwell with severe scrutiny upon the terrible routine of war, for it is impossible, in such retrospection, to appreciate the necessities or the sense of justice that provoked retaliation. Blood enough has been shed to satisfy even ven gence ; justice demands no further suffering, and policy forbids its infliction upon men who are be? loved and honored by the Southern people. If wc would be friends with I hem, wc must not brand and persecute their heroes.?A'. 1'. Newt. Mas. Stonewall Jackson's Reply to tos Citi? zens or Texas.?Wcgivc place to the following beautiful response to Mrs. General Jackson to the tribute of citizens of Houston, Texas : " Richmond, V.l., Jan. S, 1SCC. " Messrs. Beli .j- Read: " Gentlemen ??Your note inclosing a letter from Mr. John Dickinson of Houston, Texas, for? warding a draft $526 in gold, and a certificate of deposit from you. has been received. Mr. Dickin? son requests that the proceeds of the same bo placed at my disposal, and says the amount was contributed by a portion of the citizens of Texas, at. tho instance of some ladies, daughters of the 1 Old Dominion.' " As I have not the means of knowing who these kind friends and noble daughters of Virginia arc, I must through you, express my heartfelt thanks to them for this testimonial of love and honor to my lamented husband, nnd would thank you to convey them the strongest expression of my grati? tude. That their reward may be far greater than this noble net of generosity to the widow and fath? erless, and that the choicest blessings of Heaven may ever rest upou each one of these kind hearts, is the prayer of " Yours, very truly. MBS. T. J. JACKSON." -?e?-: Tito Hons. Thomas N. Dawkins and Henry D.

General Saxton being mustered out. General R. Ii. Scott, of Ohio, comes South to take his place. Hon. C. 0. Mcmminger, Secretary of the Treas? ury of the late Confederate States, ia at Willard's Hotel, Washington. All the horses loaned by the United States Gov? ernment to the farmers in North Carolina, last summer, have been ordered in. The Augusta (Ga.) Constitutionalist states that the National Bank recently started in that city is ?oitig a heavy business. George Wilkins Kendall, formerly of the Pickay unc, is on a visit to New Orleans, after seven years absence in Texas. Gen. James Longsfrccf, of Alabama, has formed a copartnership, at New Orleans, in the commis? sion business, with.the young Messrs. Owen, who did good service in the artillery. General Howard has received letters showing that there is a great improvement in the relations existing between the frecdmcn and their former masters in Georgia and Alabama. The entire number of National Banks now in ex? istence in the Uuitcd States, is sixteen hundred and twenty-six, wholly absorbing the three hun? dred millions of capital authorized by Congrsss. A bag containing fire thousand dollars in gold part of tho recent Adams Express robbery, wass found on Thursday near Coscob bridge, on the New Haven Itnilroad. At Columbus, Mississippi, an oil and mining company has been organized to operate in that State and Alabama. They have made important discoveries, and have bought 0,000 acres of land. Cyrus H. McCormick, Esq., of Chicago, Illinois, has made a donation to Washington College of ten thousand dollars, reserving the privilege of increas? ing it if this expression of interest be met with corresponding contributions from other quarters. Pennsylvania asks Congress for ?000,000 to re? pay the cost of repelling the rebel invasion of the State. An attempt was made in the House to re? fer this claim to the committee of which Mr. Ste? vens is chairman. The story of tho attempted assassination of Sen? ator Wade turns out to have been altogether more of a farce than a tragedy. The man who called on him, at tho time stated, was a half-crazed indi? vidual, who would hurt nobody, not even Wade'a shadow; although his peculiar demeanor might frighten old women and children. Major-General Thomas has approvod a requisi? tion made by Governor R. M. Fatten, on the War Department in Washington city, for arms and am? munition for one hundrod and four companies of militia ?(two for each county in the State), and when these arc received, and the Slate troops thor? oughly organized, tho Federal forces will bo with? drawn from the State. General Robert E. Lee is now on a visit to Rich? mond in connection with the interests of Washing? ton College. General Lee is quietly performing his duty in diligent efforts for the advancement of the inter? ests of the institution, to the admiration of the students and of all who know anything of his ex? alted worth. The prospects of Washington Col? lege arc very encouraging. A joint resolution lias passed the Indiana Legis? lature requiring (he Governor, or his substitute, to enforce the thirteenth nrticlo of the Constitu? tion, prohibiting the immigration of nogrocs into the Stale, and authorizing him to call upon the militia for the purpose, and holding him to fines, penalties and imprisonments if he does not en? force the law. Poor Sambo fares but illy among his pretended friends. Various newspapers have given an impression that Senator Wilson's bill for remodelling the reg? ular army will produce a standing force of ninety thousand men. According to the terms of the bill there arc less than eighty regiments, all told, pro? vided for, and by company organization of sixty four men, rank and file, these regiments cannot be more than seven hundred strong, thus giving an army of fifty-five thousand. A letter is published from Gen. W. T. Sherman, in which he -contradicts the general impression that his appointment as Superintendent of the Military Academy) at Alexandria, Louisiana, be? fore the war, was due to Bragg or Bcaurcgard. and denies that when he left Louisiana he Wit pledged not to oppose secession. .He concludes by saying: I wish the South woll. "If I have been a scourge, then how much better that it was so than Butler or some other of that school!" A rumor has been prevalent, at Fortress Monroe during the past Row days of n plot being in course of perfection there for the liberation of Jefferson Davis. Accordiug to reports, the scheme contem? plates the arrival there of tho intended rccucrs singly, on board trading vessels, so as to ward ofl suspicion. The authorities havo consequently in? stituted searches of the craft in the harbor; but there have not yet been no arrests made, as no person of a suspicious appearance has been dis? covered. -?4* Washington, Jan. 18.?In tho Senate. Nc smith, of Oregon, made a speech advocating a gen? erous policy towards the South. Wade, of Ohio, followed at length, endorsing the theory of equal rights of all men before the law. The House was cngogod all day in the discus? sion of the bill of free suffrage in the District of Columbia. The bill finally passed, giving tho elec? tive franchise to negroes in the District without qualification, by a vole of 11C to 50. -O Washington, Jan. 10.?In the United Slates Senate, to-day, the credentials of Judge Marvin, as" Senator elect from Florida, were presented and tabled. The bill enlarging the powers of the Frccdmcn's Durcau was discussed, and an umendment to the bill adopted, making valid for threo years, instead of forever, as in original bills, the titles given to the negroes, by orders issued a't Savannah by Gcn! Sherman last, winter. In the U. S. House of Representatives, Hearing, of Connecticut, made a speech maintaining that the Government, has the right of trial of the Southern .States ns conquered rebels; said theii loyally and submission being a necessity. He mentioned a series of guarantees which ought tc be exacted before representation was allowed, in chiding perfect equality of blacks and whites be? fore the law. Mr. Smith, of Kentucky, endorsed the Presi? dent's reconstruction policy ; denied that the Southern Stale* were ever out of the Union; claimed that the}' were obedient to the laws, and ought to bo represented.
