Our neighbor, Mr. Elford, sent us last week a large, neat and tastefully arranged weekly, in lieu of tho more diminutive semi-wcckly which he has been issuing for some Linie p&st. The Mountaineer js now oae of the largest weeklies published in the State, and edited with marked ability and experi enca Success attend you, mon eher ! -??-:-<* ANOTHER SHOOTING AFFAIS. On Wednesday night, 29th ult., as the train on the Anderson branch was leaving Belton, an un? known person fired several shots at two Federal officers who were getting aboard the train. For? tunately, neither were injured by the firing, and one of them, it is said, returned the ?re so soon as he was satisfied the shots were intended for him. -* SALE SAY. Monday hist there-was a fair attendance of our fellow-citizens, and for several hours business was aciive and buoyant. The farmers with whom wo conversed seemed cheerful as to the prospect for a "coming crop, although the late spring has retarded (lie ordinary progress. The auctioneers, Don dins &. McGee, were quite busy in the disposition of their variety stock. We learn that the Sheriffs' sale of some cotton, twelve months credit, realized twenty-five cents in gold for the article. -?<?-? QUITE AN IMPROVEMENT. In rambling over the village, one' morning last week, chance brought us to the Presbyterian Churchyard, and we wero highly gratified to ob? serve the neat enclosure recently placed ar?und the homes of the silent dead. The grounds also have been made to wear a cleanlier appearance, and altogether our Presbyterian friends may re? ceive congratulations upon the Improved aspect of their graveyard. Another effort, gentlemen, and extend the paneling so as to inclose the Church building! -<*?-; DESTRUCTIVE FIRE. Just before going to press, ve learn that the residence of Thomas E. Palmier, near Shallow Ford, in this District, w.is totally destroyed by fire on Sunday last. The house and kitchen were consumed by the flames, together with every arti? cle of clothing, and their entire supply of provis? ions, leaving a large family destitute. Neighbors have furnished enough to prcv?nt suffering, but any contributions of household articles will be thankfully received, no docbt. Such articles may be left at the store of Ekwlet, Keese & Co., who will forward without delay. This extremo case appeals strongly to the sj.mpat'xioa.of our people, and we hope that generous contributions will be made. ' ? HAH ARRANGEMENTS. We have been kindly furnished with the follow? ing schedule of arrangements at the Post Office in this place, and publish it for the information of all concerned:* -Tin fimnnviUft nndColumbia Railroad nail ar? rives every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday ; open at 9J- o'clock, p. m. Leaves on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and closes at 10 o'clock the night previous. The Level Land route leaves Wednesday morn? ing ; Carnesville and Slabtown, Thursday morn? ing ; Buckcrsville and Walton's Ford, on Friday morning. These mails arc closed at 10 o'clock tho night previous to their departure. Office hours on Sunday from 8 to 10 a. m. CHANGE OF GARRISON. The 1st Maine Battalion, Lieut. CoL C. S. BnowN, was relieved on Tuesday last, and yester? day morning . embarked for Charleston, where it will be mustered out of service. Lt. Col. Brown commanded tho 3d Sub-District of Western South Carolina, comprising" the Districts of Anderson, Pickens, Greenville and Abbeville. This Sub District is now broken up, and each separate Dis? trict receives a small garrison in lieu of the Maine Battalion. This town, therefore, loses its im? portance as a military post, being no longer the headquarters of a numerous command. In part? ing from Cel. Bbown and his Battalion, candor compels us to declare there is small regret among our citizens thereat, because unfortunate circum? stances had engendered deep and lasting prejudi? ces among many of the soldiers towards our peo? ple generally, and the atmosphere of Anderson was by no means pleasant or agreeable to them. Equal satisfaction, we doubt not, is experienced by such members of tho Battalion as entertained these pre? judices. Well, it's all over now, and if we breathe freer for ihc moment, who can blame us ? Lieut. J.- C. LiYESSFABQKR, Co. F., 25th Ohio Regiment, has assumed command of this post.? He brings with him thirteen men, who, in addi? tion to the detachment of Regulars (cavalry,) will comprise the garrison. We sincerely trust that good order and pe:>ce may reign throughout the foj?urn of these saldier? asaongst us. Lieut. Stout, I5tb Maine:, is acting Quartermas? ter at this post. Maj, Stohe, of the Freedman's ] bureau, is in chargo of all matters appertaining to that institution. -*? STATE. NEWS. We learn from the Grcenvillo Mountaineer that there wore twoconviotions for horse-stealing at the Spring' Term of the Court in- that District. Both culprits were recommended to Executivo clemency by the verdict. There were several cases of mur? der and other high offences, but nc convictions among them, wc believe. Tho Edgoficld AducriLtcr mentions quite a num? ber of prominent oitizca?. among ?icm Gen. M. W. Gary, as having been arrested by a de'f^chment of Cavalry, for unknown reasons. The detach? ment-arrived on Friday morning and completed these arrests before Sunday night, taking fen or twelve citizens to Columbia. Tho residence of Col. J. D. Bland:?g, two and a half miles from Sumtor, was recently destroyed by fire. The Watchman.attributes the fire to accident. A destructive fire occurred not long since in Darlington. The main part of the village was destroyed, including most of the buildings upon the square. Wc have not received either of our exchanges from there since the conflagration, nnd presume that the Southerner and New Era shared a common fate. "Since writing the foregoing, we have received ipers mentioned, containing accounts of the No Southerner office was thrown into pi by ?f the type, while the New Era lost thoir -cd tho other material iutaot. The ?>ns of Darlington is estimated at estigntion has failed to elicit the though many believe that it liarisni. Members of the from duty there, were of could be adduced. J THE LOYALTY OP THE SOUTH AND THE LOYALISTS, In all the wide range of national politics, there Is ho subject which has received more attention during the past twelve months than that indicated by tho heading of this article. We propose briefly to discuss the question of loyalty, its extent and sincerity, and enumerate the classes in our midst amongst whom this fealty to the Union may be found. Aud in order to get at this subject in its true meaning, we must go,back to the melancholy days following the surrender of army remnants? the bogrimmcd and battle-scarred veterans of four years of internecine strife. Then it was that the test of patriotism and manhood was to bo met; then, with the high hopes of an ardent, enthusias? tic people crushed at one blow, and their earnest efforts pronounced a failure, was tho sternest, se? verest trial to be encountered. The war, waged relentlessly and with infuriated madness, had brought nothing to our doors but sorrow, sac? rifice and ruin. The long-extended catalogue of evils had been endured only to accomplish the I dearest hopes of a people who were intent upon the preservation of liberty, as bequeathed from an ancestry, whose record brought no blush to man [ tlo the cheek of their descendants. To surrender the armies, shattered and torn by disease and bat? tle, required an uncommon courage iii those bravo and trusted leaders; but for an entire people, men, j women and children, to surrender in an instant the cherished hopes of long, weary years, required an amount of moral courage seldom exacted in the annals of history. Yet, with astonishing alacrity, the Southern mind foresaw their future condition, and resolved to act without delay. Thus, in less than "ninety days" after tho surrender in Virginia, all over the South meetings had been held and resolutions adopted looking to a restoration of the Union. We were told that we were not ?onsidered as ox-members of the Republic, but simply as having forfeited the privileges of States, and when tho people were re-constructed by an oath of al? legiance to the United States, save the excepted classes, then the machinery of State government would be set in motion. Upon the faith of these declarations, action was promptly taken; andere the heat of summer pasted, the majority of seceded States had amended their constitutions, in all re? spects conforming to the requirements of the Fed? eral Executive. Early in the winter it was appa? rent that thero was a largo and influential party in the North determined to use the occasion for party purposes, and make stronger demands and further rcquirments of the South; and when Con? gress met, the acvion of that body surprised no one of sufficient intelligence to comprehend the situa? tion of national affairs. These demands were met as promptly as hitherto, and after heaping enor? mous weight upon our bruised shoulders, still more was added to tho load of degradation, debasement and self-abnegation. Throughout all thiB severe trial, how has the South acquitted herself? Not inconsistent, wc answer, with the proud record made by her sons for faithfulness, courage and devo? tion in a cause they deemed holy. No unwerthy fawning, sycophantic adulation of authority, or cegrnding action has characterized the conduct of a Southern State; but with dignity, earnestness and a lofty patriotism, the authorized exponents of public opinion have executed diligently the trust confided to them. And among the innumerable charges brought before the American people to prove our unworthiness and disloyalty, not a sin? gle instance of State legislation- has been of suffi? cient importance to their purposes that the fanati? cal majority in Congress should insist upon its re? peal or modification as a sine qua non to our ad? mission into the Union. Only exceptional in? stances of revolt or outrage arc cited to prove that disloyalty exists in the Southern mind. Now, which is the State?the representatives of the peo- | pie in solemn conclave, or the single individual who sets at defiance the law ?nd its officers? Un-1 questionably tho former. If, then, thero can be no objection to our action as States, and if all tho requirements of the Radical Congress so far have been acceded to, in what consists to the disloyalty of the South ? Certainly the obscure and perhaps uninformed citizen who comes in conflict with military edicts, mujt not achieve so much im? portance thereby as to bring censure upon an en? tire community for his individual conduct. He is unworthy of such an exalted position as the rep? resentative of public sentiment, and his entire principles are at variance with the declared, avow? ed and recorded, views of Iub fellow-citizens, as evinced most decidedly in legislative enactmonts. Ko is then, not only at enmity with the Govern? ment of the United States but that of the State alBO. There can be no question as to the sinceri? ty of the South, by States, in their allegiance to the Unicn, and the blindest fanatic has ceased to cavil at Legislative action.. Wo dismiss this branch of the subject, therefore, and proceed tosh'ow who are the loyalists at the present time; and of what class is thc disloyal made up, for the most part. Where are the soldiors who laid down their arms so reluotantly ? What attitude do they oc? cupy towards the Government and its agonts? Beyond question, the.carncst, thinking m-.jority of those heroic armies are now quiet, peaceable loy? alists. They have fully counted tho cost of sub? mission, and reckoned, how dearly, the giving up of a cause for which thay freely bled, and danger braved. But, having once pledged their honor, it is a foul aspersion to* assert that they have not ? adhored well and faithfully t >? that pledge. With few exceptions, where impetuous blood has tri? umphed over discretion and judgment, the men who followed Lee, Johnstos and Rbaitoboa-rd ore winning bright and. enduring laurels by their pa? tient endurance of manifold evils, by their silent . acquiescence in arbitrary measures, and by a proud determination to prove themselves as honorable and conscientious in peace as they were gallant and meritorious in war. The Confederate soldiers, then, aro not to be enumerated among the disaffec? ted, if such there be among us. But, if there he a class of people in the South who look with dis? favor upon everything" which smacks of Union or Reconstruction, it is that greedy horde of cormo? rants and speculators whose glorious visions of ill goilSO wealth were dissipated by the demise of the Confederacy. Having basely profited by tho nc j cessities of their own section, and having in many I instances been despoiled of their'fortunes heaped ; in cotton ?ince the war closed, their hntred finds : a new channel for an outlet. - During: the war, : this selfish, unpjjjiciplcd class sneered at-every? thing bearing tho name of Confederate ; therr im . pudence and insolence, to say nothing of higher I offences, wore borno uncomplainingly Since the j surrender, this cloven foot is yet apparent, butufJie j inexorable heel of absolute power prevents an'ex? pression, and hence these mutterings of traitors to their section'nre construed to mean treason to the whore country. In other words, and in plain hui- I , guage, the men who were recreants to duty then arc the discontonted now?llio cowardly then can lern afford t-c bear, restraint now, which brings odium and distrust upon ii\o entire South, ?-jjj^-j Wc regret to observe, in the Camden Journal, that the Hon. A. II, Boylcin recently departed this life. He was about fifty years of age, and died suddenly while on a visit to Charleston, VETO OF THE CIVIL EIGHTS BILL. President Johnson, on the 28th ult., returned to the Senate that odious measure, "The Civil Rights Bill," ?with the reasons for withholding his signa? ture. The following is a synopsis of the Veto message : ? By the first soclion of the bill, all persons born in tho United States, and not subjcot to any for? eign powor, excluding Indians not taxed, are de? clared to bo citizens of the United States. This provision comprehends the Chinese of the Pacific States, Indians subject to taxation, and the pcoplo called Gypsies, as well as the entire race designated as blacks, people of color, negroes, mulattocs, and persons of African blood. Every individual of these races born in the United States is, by the bill, made a citizen of the United StateB. It does not purport to declare or confer any other right of citizenship than Federal citizenship, aud does not purport to give these classes of persons any status as citizens of States, except that which may result from their status as citizens of the Uni? ted States. Tho power to confer the right of State citizen? ship, is just as exclusively with the several States as the power to confer the right of Federal citizen? ship is with Congress. The right of Federal citi? zenship thus to be conferred on tho several excep? ted races before mentioned, is now, for the first time, proposed to be given by law. Tho bill, in effect, proposes a discrimination against large numbers of foreigners, and in favor of the negro, to whom, after long years of bondage, the ave? nues to freedom and intelligence have now been suddenly opened. He must of necessity, from bis previous unfortunate condition of servitude, be less informed ns to the nature and character of our institutions than he who, coming from abroad, has | to some extent, at least, familiarized' himself with the principles of government to which lie volunta? rily entrusted life, liberty and the pursuit of hap? piness. Yet, it is now proposed by a single legis? lative enactment to confer the rights of citizens upon all persons of African descent born within the extended limits of the United States, while persons of foreign birth who make our land their homes must undergo a probation of five years, and can only then become citizens upon proof that they are of geod moral character, attached to the principles of the institutions of the United States, and well disposed to the good order and happiness of the same. In reviewing these sections of the bill, ho says : *f it be granted that Congress can repeal all State laws discriminating between whites and blacks on the subjects covered by this bill, why, it may be asked, may not Congress repeal in the same way all Stalo laws discriminating between the two ra? ces on the subjects of suffrage and office ? If Con? gress can declare by la?r who shall hold lands, who shall testify, who shall have cupacify to make a contract in a State, then Congress can by law also declare who, without regard to color or race, shall have the right to act as a juror or as a judge, or to hold any other office, and, finally, to vote in every State and Territory of the United States. Ag respects the Territories, they come within the power of Congress, for as to them the law making power is the Federal power ; but as to (he States, no similar provision exists vesting in Con? gress the power to make rules and regulations for them. The President says, in conclusion, in all our history?in all our experience as a people liv? ing under Federal and State law?no such system as that coutcmplatcd by the details of this bill has ever before been proposed or adopted. They es? tablish for the security of the colored race safe? guards which go infinitely beyond any that the General Govornment has over provided for the white race. They interfere with the municipal legislation of the States, with the relations exist? ing exclusively between .1 State and its citizens, or between the inhabitants of the same State, in the absorption and assumption of power by the Gen? eral Government, which, if acquiesced in, must sap and destroy our federative system of limited powers, and break down the barriers which pre? serve the rights of the Stales. It is another step, or rather stride, towards centralization and the concentration of all legislative powers in the Na? tional Government. The tendency of the bill must be to resuscitate the spirit of rebellion, and to ar? rest the progress of those influences which are more closely drawing around the Slates the bonds of union and peace. My lamented predecessor, in nis proclamation of the 1st Jauuary, 18G3, order? ed and declared that all persons held us slaves within certain States and parts of States therein designated, were and thence-forward should bo free ; and further, that the Ereeutive Government of tho United States, including cite- military nnd naval authorities thereof, would recognise and maintain the freedom of such persons. This guar? antee has been rendered especially obligatory and sacred by the amendment of the Constitution abol? ishing slavery throughout the United States. I therefore fully recognize the obligation to protect and defend that class of our people whenever and wherever it shall become necessary, and to the full extent compatible with the Constitution of the United States. Entertaining these sentiments, it only remains for me to say that I will cheerfully co-operate in any measure that may be accessary for the protec ' tion of the civil rights of tho frccdmerr, as well as those of all other classes of persons throughout the United States, by judicial process under equal and impartial laws, in conformity with the provisions of tho Federal Court. I now return the bill to the Senato, and regret that, in- considering the bills and joint resolutions ?forty-two in number?which hare been thus far submitted for my approval, I am compelled to withhold my assent from a second measure that has received the sanction of both Houses of Con? gress. 1 ? A Washington corrcspondcrtt of one- of our Northern exchanges says that the Secretary of the Treasury has a curious cottou case under consid? eration. Upon the affidavit of one Charles Ring, 550 bales of ootton were seized by tho Treasury agents at Greensboro, Georgia, as the properly of the late Confederacy. This property is now claimed by one Poullain, formerly of rebel Gcnoral Walker's stall', as his private property. Ho al? leges that there is no such man as Ring?that his name is fictitious. So fni>, Ring has not been found; but it is charged that he has been put out of the way by Poullain. _Dr. Marion Simms, formerly of Montgomery, Alabama, has won such tnino in-' France and Great Britain as an accomplished cUrgcon,' that1 the1 Frcneh 'Kuircror iins conferred upon him tho cross of- tire Legion or Hwior. He spends his time be? tween Parisand London, his family residing in the latter place. ? A negro convicted of murder and sentenced to be hung in Alabama, has been discharged by the Supreme Court of Appeals for that Slate; the offense Laving been committed when a slave, and the trial and conviction occurring when he was freehand his relations of tho State being'different, no law was found applicsiblo to tho caso, ? The Georgia Legislature passed the Stay Law over the Governor's veto, and a law punishing horse-stealing aud burglary with death. BY TUESDAY EVENING'S MAIL.

In presenting his claims f )r the suffrages of the people, we would state that he served through the Mexican war, in the famous Palmetto Regiment; that he was three times' woi'ided, and was awar? ded a Medal for distinguished gallantry. In the late war, he was among the first to respond to the call of his State, and entering tl?e" ranks he served his country faithfully, and by his devotion, con? spicuous bravery and coolncsa, ho won his way to promotion. He was three times wounded during tho late war, and in consequence of these wounds, he has lost, the use of an arm and a leg, and is now a cripple for life. He is intelligent, and by education undeniably qualified to discharge the duties of the office ; and if the people of Ander? son District wish to reward merit, by placing a deserving disabled soldier in offiee, they can do so by voting for Capt.
