The Philadelphia Age sustains President John son's action in vetoing-;the Freedmen's Bureau Bill. If it is to be a game of brag betwee n the Presidont and Congress, tho former must win hav? ing "the age." ? We arc pained to learn that governor Vance, at his home in Statcsville, has been stricken with paralysis on one side. We have not heard particu? lars, and hope it is but slight.?Raleigh Sentinel. ? On the arrival of Governor Humphreys, that battle-scarred veteran of the Confederacy, at Vtoxs burg, a few days since, an ortillery ?alute was fired by order of General Woods, commanding the United States garrison there. ? About 20,000 colored troops, from the Depart? ment of Texas, aro to arrivo shortly at City Point, to be paid etf and mustered out of service. A number of vessels have already arrived, and active preparations are going on with a view to carrying out the order disbanding these troops. ? A Southern traveler writes to the Boston Post: I was grati5ed to meet with gentlemen from the North investing large amounts of money in cotton plantations in all directions, within a radius ? of fifty miles of Jackson, the capital of Mississippi. Many of the finest plantations havo4ecently passed into Northern hands, and are now being stocked aad prepared for a cotton crop the present year." _The military authorities at Now Orleans have issued an order giving to the members of the col ? owd obngrcgations in the Department of Louisiana complete and absolute control over their church property, and to remain independent of denomina? tional control, and to be free to attach themselves to any denomination, according to their judgment ati? <*.'scretion. Anything in the laws of the State ' M Louisiana prohibiting the incorporation of so ' dories of colored persons, for scientific or religious purposes, is declared inoperative and void. ? Gen. John R. Jackson, of Georgia, died in IJilledgeville, on the 2Gth ult. He was admitted to- the bar when nineteen years of age, and rapidly r<'?e in the profession. In 1861, he volunteered in ti > cause of the South, and was made Colonel of ] the Fifth Georgia Regiment. In 1862, he was promoted to the rank of Brigadier General, and highly complimented by General Bragg. Since the cessation of hostilities, General Jackson has devoted his attention to his profession, the duties of which-have been arduous for many years. ? ?? The Washington correspondent of the New York News writes: ,lI have from good authority that tho President in a few days will issue an offi? cial proclamation that peace has been firmly es? tablished at the South. Tho States will then be left to govern themselves under the Constitution of j tho United States, and State and local law3, with? out military interference, except in relation to the freedmen's bureau. This institution will continue ~bue year after the date of the forthcoming procla? mation. ? Gen. Gregory has made an official report of j the condition of the freeimen in Texas. He sajs they are willing to work, asking only that the ful? filment of the promises made them by the planters shall bVenforced by the Government. Under these conditions, contracts were freely made with the freedmen, on liberal terms. Money wages vary from ?8 to $15 per month in specie, including quarters, fnel, clothing and medical attendance. In many instances, instead of wages, a part of the crop is pledged to the laborers, and the instances are not nnfrequant where, in addition to this per? centage of the expected crop, tho planter boards - und lodges his workmen gratis. The schools are prosperous. ? The trial of the murderers of Mr. Pickett is still progressing at Wilmington. On the Becond day Miss Mary P. Pickett testified. Mr. Pickett and his. wife and daughter were at Mr. Cannon's. Four negroes, dressed in Fodoral uniforms, with overcoats, attacked tho house. Mr. Pickett was . shot immediately at the door as the negroes cr tered. Two of the young ladies were beaten or knocked down with their guns, and one or more threatened with being killed by them. Two of the prisoners were fully identified by all the witnesses, and aB of them wore certainly concerned in the aTair. ? We learn from the Riehmond JUnguirer that den. Wiie's lecture is beginning to produce sub? stantial results in the shape of remittances. Within' the last few days the Female Orphan Asylum, of . ihut city,; has received tho handsome sum of one thousand dollars from Mr. Corcoran, banker of "Washington ; fifty dollars from Mr. Jones, Cum 1 Irland county, Maryland, and other Bmall contri? butions. . ? Charles Clapp, a respectable citizen of Mont, somery, Alabama, was assassinated in his own house on Saturday last. His wifo has been ar? rested as an accessory of a Federal soldier, who is '".Mieved to have consummated the horrible doed.? Tho woman is said to have been criminally inti? mate with the murderer. ? In consideration of the great amount of des? titution and suffering in the South, the citizens of | "i!ftl:imore, without regard to political opinion, ;u\v j determined to hold a fair in the large hall in the Maryland Institute, commencing April 1st. to be cilled "The Southern Relief Fair." The ladies of Baltimore have entered into this praiseworthy movtiment .with their accustomed zeal, and they . solicit the co-operation and assistance of their .generous-countrymen in all sections of the Union. ? A meeting of the citizens gf Lynchburg, Vo., TT'as held in that city on the evening of tho 22d ins!., "for the purpose of expressing their views of the reconstruction policy of President Johnson." A contemporary says that the meeting was proba? bly the largest whioh ever assembled in Lynch burg, and that the speakers expressed entire con? fident in tho ability, integrity, firmness and pa? triotic motives of the President, and their deter? mination to stand by him in his efforts to save the j country, which sentiments were enthusiastically applauded by the meeting. ? Col. James Chelnut, aged ninety-three years, died at hut home, in Kirkwood, near Camden, on the 17th ultima Ho was the father of General James Chetnut, and was highly respected by the people of Camden, among whom he resided so long.

The numerous friends of this accomplished lady will regret to hear of her departure from South Carolina. From a letter received a few days since, we learn that Mad. S. has become tho Principal of | the Lucy Cobb Institute, located at Athens, Geo. Our kind friend, Mr. Hyde, who has re? cently returned from Charleston, will accept many thanks for the Courier contoing the argument of Judge Advocate Willard before tho Military Com? mission, now in session there. But for the thought folness of Mr. H., we could not have secured the copy.' INTERESTING TO A FEW ONLY. Parties knowing themselves indebted for adver? tising through the Ordinary's Office are earnestly requested to call upon Col. Hammond at once and settle their dehnquencies. We trust the mere men-.f Lion of the matter will be sufficient to encourage prompt action. ???-*> SOUTHERN EXPRESS AGENCY. We are gratified to learn that our town is favor? ed with the conveniences and accommodation of an Express Agency. Capt. Thos. P. Benson, the popular and efficient Conductor on the Anderson Branch of the GrecnvLUo & Columbia Railroad, has received the appointment of Agent for the South? ern Express Company, and will attend promptly to all business entrusted to him. THE POST OFFICE. We have to annonnce a chango in the manage? ment of the Post Office at this place. Mr. G. W. Fast, who has been so long and favorably known to this community as a model Postmasters?and who, by-thc-by, has performed the duties of his office during the past nine mouths without remu? neration?has been relieved from duty by the Post Office Department, in consequence of his ina? bility to subscribe to the test oath. Tho appoint? ment has been conferred upon Mrs. T. J. Wedii, and the Office removed to No. 7, Brick Range. SALEDAY. An unusual gathering of citizens enlivened our village on Monday last, attracted hither from di-,. vers causes. A new feature in this time-honored day was apparent, and one cot unlikely to become popular. Heretofore, sales of every description hive been conducted about tho Court House, but on Monday tho crowd was invited to the auction? eering mart of Dobbins & McGek, corner of Brick Range, where the noisy and inimitable Joe dis? posed of a large number of articles, of every quality and quantity, from a pair of scissors to a quadruped. Snuccss to the new " institution," and a general invitation to the multitude to be present on next saleday and witness the pcrform apec. COURT WEEK. This was onee a familiar heading to our readers, scmi-annually, but the Urnen have sadly changed since then and many will be surprised at the an? nouncement wojiro about to make. From an offi? cial source, Solicitor Reed, we learn that a regu? lar " old-fashioned " Court of General Sessions and Common Pleas will begin at Anderson on Monday next. Hon. F. J. Moses, one of the newly elected Judges, will preside. It is the intention of the officers charged with the execution of the law to demonstrate to tho credulous that civil law has been restored and will be enforced in South Caro? lina henceforth, at which all good citizens will re rejoice and contribute their energies to sustain. The dockets wili be cleared, i&possible, and es? pecially of matters of a criminal nature, on the Sessions side of the Court. All persons interested, and particularly those against whom prosecutions are pending, should be present, prepared to avail themselves of any advantage that might arise, in the determined effort to "wipe out and begin anew." .In the purpose to clear the dockets of old matters, the Court will sit, and press the business energetically, in every District of the Western Circuit. ARRESTED FOR MURDER. Wo learn that Dan, formerly sl?sc of Mr. JonN Wabnock, and Henry, formerly slave of Mr. Dan'l. Brown, have been forwarded to Columbia to be tried by a Military Court for the murder of | young Albert Geeb, in January last. The latter part of last week was occupied by the Provost 'Ceurt at this place in the examination of charges preferred against Dan and Ecnry, and after three days' patient investigation, wherein was elicited conclusive proof of their guilt, the culprits mado a confession of the atrocious crime. But the form of a trial is essential, and wo presume that they will meet with a righteous punishment for so hor-1 rible and "brutal a murder. From their confes? sion, it seems that young Geeu overtook them near his house, about dark, engaged in killing a bog be? longing to his father, and upon his demand, they threw the hog before him on the saddle. They quickly recanted of their obedience, however, and resolved to take his life rather than suffer the con? sequences of stealing. Upon this decision, and in the most fiendish manner, they pulled him from the horse and committed the fatal deed, with the hammer of a pistol. "Murder will out," and cir? cumstances disclosed the evidence which eventu aBy forced this confession from, their guilty con? sciences. We give place this week to "Destiny's Shad 0W8?_a beautiful poem sent us last summer, and which was rejected at the time because the name of the writer did not accompany tho manuscript. And we are not better informed now, but have de? viated once from our rule on this subject in order to afford tho readers of the Intelligencer a pleasure in its perusal. Will "Aliel" be kind enough yet to send us her real name ? PRESIDENT JOHNSON'S SPEECH ON THE 22D. An immense mass meeting of the citizens of Washington was held ou the 22d of February, and President Joiissos addressed the vast concourse in a speech replete with patriotism, firmness and justice Its length excludes the speech from our. columns this week, but we unhesitatingly declare that the enunciations of the President arc such as to receive commendation from every well-wisher of his country, North or South.,? TJic effect of . his utterances have already been discovered in the wonderful alacrity with which politicians and newspapers, hitherto undefined in their status, arc flocking to the standard of the new party, of which Asdrew Johnson is tho leading spirit..' The New York press are yet discussing this great,-effort, of the President, and of course view it in various lights. We make a few extracts : Raymond's paper, the Times, says; The birth? day of Washington was fittingly chosen for popu? lar demonstrations in favor of tbo Union. That in this city was triumphant. That at Washington equally enthusiastic, was even more significant, for there the President himself uttered ^thoughts that breathe and words that burn." That great effort of wisdom and patriotism will secure for him the gratitude of his own country and the ap? probation of the world. When this wonderful speech has been attentively read and digested the American people, President Johnson will be as firmly established in their confidence and affeo tions as the most popular of his predecessors. The Herald says ': Andrew Johnson has taken up the gauntlet which the Jacobins in Congress have flung down. The "man at the other end of the avenue" has shown his appreciation of Thad. Stevens and his radical clique by tho bold and un? compromising manner in which he denounced them by name, in his speech in Washington, on the 22d, as traitors and revolutionists. He took plain issue with them in honest and homely words. He stands for the Constitutum and the Union. His enemies, he declaims, are working out another rebellion.? The country, we opine, will sustain the President in this view. On the whole, President Johnson's speech is bold, manly and outspoken. EDITOR'S TABLE. Godey's Lady's Book. The March number of this magazine is before us. The long interim since the last visit Godey paid to our sanctum has*not a whit abated the bright, genial appearance of this fire-side compan? ion, and we hail its advent with peculiar pleasure. Politics and war have nothing to do with Godey, nor he with them, judging from the magazine ; but pleasant pictures, pretty fafhions and attrac? tive light reading form the staple of his life and engraft themselves thoroughly in his Lady's Book. All communications should be addressed to L. A. Godey, Philadelphia, Penn. Price ?3.00 per year, with liberal deductions to clubs. Sub? scriptions received at this office. The Cosmopolite. This is the title of a new candidate for public favor. It is a monthly magazine, devoted to Lite? rature, Art and General Readiug. Judging from a hasty examination of its contents, we should pronounce it worthy of support. The typograph? ical oxocution of the work is superior, "and this speaks woll for their enterprise. Published in Baltimore, Md., at Four Dollars per annum, by De Leon & Co. We shall take occasion to notice this monthly at greater length hereafter. ?-?, GEN. FORREST. This distinguished soldier was in Memphis last week, and appeared to be in fine health and spir? its. In rcpry to the canard of his having gone to Mexico, the General requested the editor of the Memphis Appeal to say that he has not been nor the remotest idea of going anywhere else than back to his plantation, where ho and a goodly number of black men are hard at work trying to make cnongh to live on, pay taxes, and help the government to get out of debt. He advises every? body else to do the same thing. The Appeal add- that General Forrest is as ear? nest and sincere a supporter of the government as he was a good fighter, and thinks Jhe right way to get out of our troubles is for everybody to be at work, and in tho discharge of all the duties resting upon him. -o For the Intelligencer. DESTINY'S SHADOWS. 'Tis night, and broad o'er the earth, Stern winter her wild reign is keeping, While through tho thick darkness and the wailing winds, The rain is dismally beating? Bebiing heavy on the grand old roof, And against the shuttcrlces windows, And every drop is a surge on the woof, Where Hope and Truth arc the limners. For Hope 1ms deceived me, and one by ono Tho drops'arc tearfully tolling,' How dear visions have perished, and even in my heart The number of their tombs Is swelling ; A mausoleum which claims each gift of my hand, The shrine', whence devotion's rebelling. On the terrace of pleasure my spirit hath trod With a step so wild and free, I sought her famed flowers?I found, alas ! But a trembling thorny tree. Love too has come with her B?ken sounds To awaken the holiest echoes of life? 'Twas' ouly a breaking, wailing dirge, To checken the harsh old strife? Only a ray to unravel my dream, Of the good, the glorious and true ; Only a poison, with sparkles -more bright, Than Hermon's hallowed dew. The dream has passed ! I wake to weep To the pecans of reasons harsh cho;r; To the changeless fiat of a martyred faith, Doomed to the stake of deception's cold fire. And now, far adown in the dim distant years, The desert of life is extending And about my arid track of despair Not a leaf or a shelter is bending. But bordered by many a pointed stone, And stagnant maash and river, And washed by the slimy foams of fate, Which play o'er its bonks forever! Oh world of light, and love, and joy ! My heart still pants for thee; And my weary feet oft pause in the path Of my dark-robed destiny? Pause to gaze at thy palace gates Of friendship, rest, and beauty, While falls from my Bvid hps a prayer For Btrength to battle with duty. Upon -this brow so 'girt with gloom, Not a score of life's young years have fallen, Yet, my life is so frightful, that often at morn, Long I for the darkness of eTcn. Oh world of light, and love, and joy! Hast thou nought, save the base, the untruo ? Oh! tell me, oye children of love and song, Is tho world thus dark to you ? ALIEL. Anderson C. H., Feb. 28,18G5. V ONE MOSE UNFORTUNATE." . A genuine, ragged rebel, accoutred with can { tccn, haversnck and knapsack, (no weapons, open or concealed.) appeared in our streets on Saturday j last. He is on the wny to his home in Mississippi, and unless favored specially with public transpor- j tnfion, expects to continue, the even tenor"of his route in the primitive style our first parents are supposed to have locomotcd. In other words, ho j.is walking, and .forcibly reminded us of familiar scenes in " Confederic" times. Seriously, we wish him God-speed on his journey, and trust that there are warm hearts to beat with tender joy at his return, unexpected though it be. He is, per [ haps, the-last specimen of that army "Going Home." ?.-* EXCHANGES. The Spartanburg Express.?We have neglected >to chronicle the-resumption, of the publication of | this journal.
