BY WARREN 33. WILKES. Calhorn?, S. C?, Septem Der 9, 1SG6. SALUTATORY. Do not be alarmed, reader.' We arc not going to bore you with a stereotype, common-place saluta? tory. Neither are we going to promise you many wonderful things, which we have not tho most distant idea of attempting to do ; nor do we need an introduction to each other, for wc have been long acquainted. Years ago we laid down the peu ?ditorial and contributional, and wo simply wish to announce, that wc have consented to resume it at tho request of friend Hoyt. Long unused to catering to the tates of tho reading public, and having our mind necessarily distracted with a va? riety of pursuits, we are somewhat reluctant to make the effort; but, upon his assurance that you would, perhaps, be pleased for us to do so, we will, however, first please oursclf, by writing about, any nnd all subjects, in whatsoever style is most agreea? ble to us; then, if you are pleased, there will be two of us so. -4? RAIN. Refreshing showers of rain have fallen in this portion of the District, this week, and will benefit late corn, peas, turnips, and potatoes. Our most provident farmers have sown a large breadth of land in turnips, for family use, to fatten hogs with, and winter cows upon. Wo hope that our people have generally been so thoughtful. -?. REVIVALS. The Churches, of the various Christian Denomina? tions, have experienced quite an awakening within f.he past three weeks, at Bclton, Calhoun, and Broadmouth. The Revs. W. P. Martin and Alex? ander Acker have been abundantly blessed in their labors at the latter Church. Mr. Martin baptized thirty-eight persons on last Sabbatht upon a profession of faith. It is time for the peo? ple to repent, lest heavier judgments befall them. ?-* BREVETS. The Senate and President have been very liberal in conferring brevets "for gallant and meritorious conduct in the field." The Senate confirmed over ?two hundred brevets, from Major Generrls down to First Lieutenants, on tho last day of the session of Congress, in addition to the two hundred thou? sand, heretofore sanctioned by that body. These complimentary promotions, do not carry extra pay, and were conferred upon regular soldiers and bomb-proofs, with impartial hand. Some of these honors were conferred for services as far back as the first battle of Bull Run. We were present at that Handy Cap Race, and can certify to tho fine performance of tke colts entered by Irwin Mc? Dowell. Splendid time was made, but we think the judges are somewhat tardy in awarding the prizes. Tho British courser, Wat. H. Russell, L. L. D., seems to have been distanced, as no men? tion is mode of him. He was last entered for the races at Konnigratx, where he is said to have beaten all Austrian competitors. -<?> NOT IN A PLEASANT HUMOR, A correspondent of the Charleston Newt, from Sumtor District, states some of the reasons why the planters of his section are out of humor, which are equally applicable to this region. Negroes cross and crusty?unmindful of the mcum and tuum ?cows go forth to pasture and return no more? hogs disappear mysteriously?sheep are found sheared or not found at all, and corn stolen from the field. Hence, the cloudy brow and troubled visage. But this catalogue of ills will be wonder? fully increased this winter, since the Government has ordered the issue of rations to be stopped.? The writer patiently asks: "Can you blame him ? slavery gone?the Union gone?representation in Congress gone?the niggers going, gone?all hope of a paying crop gone?and the debts right there "wLire they have been for years past, uninjured by time, and looking stronger, fuller, and more for? midable than ever." We certainly cannot blame them, in view of all the facts, especially when we ore assured that they me .n no harm by looking ugly. They ought not, however, as some do, take their-spite out on their hair and snatch themselves bald-headed. RAILROAD EXTRAORDINARY. There is a branch railroad in the State of Ohio, that fully rivals some railroad branches* not a thousand miles from here. A correspondent of a Cincinnati paper thus relates his experience : "Tho road is laid with the old strap rail, and in many places, where this is worn away they 'go it' on tho bare timber! No such thing as culvert, or cattle guard is known. The 'honest yeomanry' stood this awhile, but finally put up their fences as though there was no such road as the 'Branch' in existence. It was then necessary for a man to go ahead and lei down the Lars. There is but one stopping place on the road. Here we took the side track, to let the hand car pass. Persons get on and off at will, and even women and children appear suddenly in the passenger coach and disap? pear again before you know it. When the train leaves Findlay, the employees take leave of their families with tears. The parting between the con? ductor and his wife was peculiarly affecting. Mr. Sprague, of the Crooks House, never -allows his guests to leave on this road without first settling up their arrears. There are too many chances against him, and Sprague is fond of a sure thiug." We would say, that friend McGke, of the Belton House, runs the same schedule. -* TO BE OR NOT TO BE. That is the question of the "Freedmen" for the future. And if to be, how ? Not one of them of this generation, has ever been compelled to solve this question for him or herself. Whether they were old or young, active or helpless, valuable or invaluable, sick or well?whether crops were good or bad, mattered not them. These were matters that concerned Master and Mistress, alone. Nor has Sambo been made to think earnestly upon the question, since his emancipation. So far, the Government has thought for him, acted for him, fed and clothed him, and lionized him. Thus cared for and freed from labor, Sambo's most ex? alted conception of freedom has been fully real? ized. But alas! for him, the dream will soon be dissipated. True, Uncle Sam will still think for him, through the Bureau, but then, Sambo will have to go to work again?"to lay down the fiddle and the bow," and take up "the shovel and the hoe." Gen. Howard orders, that the issue of rations cease on and after tho 1st day of October next. Here Sambo's freedom ends, and his idea of servitude re-commences. How far the notions and habits engendered by the course of the Gov? ernment will tend to reconcile him to this sudden change in his condition, remains to be seen. He has been so idle and worthless this year, that most of our planters have announced their determina? tion to have nothing to do with him for the future. Where will he go? What will ho do ? Is he compe? tent to toko care of and support himself? Wo will recur to this subject again. FORSYTH ON THE CONVENTION. Tho lion. John Forsyth, one of the firmest of States Rights Democrats, and knightliest of Edi? tors, was a delegate for the State of Alabama, in the recent Philadelphia Convention. In reply to tho charge that Southern delegates yielded too much, he well states that Southern men considered themselves rather as guests than active partici? pants in the Convention. "Reticence and dignity were the role of men so situated. Not to make noisy complaints and frothy speeches, or to wran? gle about platforms; but simply to say, as the Narragansett Chief, when summoned before the British Colonial Council, "You have sent for me, and I have come." But at last we were voiceless? voiceless and powerless in the struggle that was to determine the destinies of tho country?the battle and the combatants were all in the North, and all the dispositions for the contest were necessarily to be controlled to that fact." Tho presence of | Southern meu was desired in the Convention to givo it an air of nationality, and a moral support to the effort about to be made in behalf of the President's crowning act of fraternization and reconstruction?tho admission of Southern Repre? sentatives to seats in Congress. Northern con? stituencies were to be influenced by its declaration of principles, and we could well afford to permit Northern men to mako their own dispositions for the struggle. No one believes that a permanent National party will result fron that Convention, or that, if successful, the government will be admin? istered in conformity with its declarations. It was improvised as a temporary means of attaining a permanent good ; men of all political parties en? dorsed it to that extent, when tho end is accom? plish they will disintegrate and revert back to their original political elements. Democrats and others will hereafter, as heretofore, have their own plat? form and candidates. Many things in the address and resolutions we do not endorse?no Southern man can who is not wholly lost to all self-respect ?but in view of all the facts, had we been a mem? ber of the Convention, we should have permitted them to pass without saying aye or nay. After stating that the address and resolutions would have been different, had they been penned ex? clusively by the South, East or We9t, Mr. Forsyth says: "But constituted as they were for the whole, on that basis of compromise which must ever be a vital element of Union among States so re? mote geographically and so diverse in pursuits and interests, it is difficult to see how either resolu? tions or address could have been better." VERY CROOKED. We retain a vivid impression of the fine points on a steamboat trip, on the "mad Missouri." We tried it some years ago, and after a full experi? ence, in sparriug over .>.mdbars, running inio banks, and getting turned cround so often that we could not tell the direction of East or West?the course to St. Louis, or to Leavenworth, we voted it the most aggravating and crooked river in all creation. But, we give it up, the Missouri is com? paratively a strait river. Wo hope that wo never will set sail on the Rio Grande, for we are sure that wc could not find our way up it, down it, on either side of it, or away from it. A correspon dentj of tho New Orleans Crescent has recently tried it, aDd thus discourses of it: "Of all the crooked things I ever came across, I beg leave to offer the Rio Grande, as just a little tho crookedest I have heard of a tree so crooked, that, when it fell itcould'nt lie still, and that, when it was split into rails, und a fence made thereof, marauding pigs squeezing through it, always came out on the Bide they started from. But ihe Rio Grande beats this. I believe if it were emptied of the last drop of water, its bed would keep on wriggling, from its very crookedness." That will do. If Bullock's Creek, in York District, can't beat it, then we give it up. Xr GEN. BEAUREGARD. We learn from the Paris Presse, that our distin? guished Confederate has created quite a sensation in the capital of Franco, being tho recipient of flattering attentions from tho Emperor and other dignitaries. A writer says: "The General has likewise received from a Government, which I am not permitted to name, an extremely brilliant offer, which, however, he has declined. He was offered the chief command of an army of 80,000 men, a salary of 100,000 francs per annnm, and a dona? tion of lands worth a million of dollars, with the 'grand naturalization' of himsolf and family.? The General declined, saying that his sword be? longed to his country, and he would never draw it except for her." His patriotism and republican virtue is fully equal to that of the great and good Roman General Fabricius. A SNAKE STORY. A correspondent, writiug from Bagdad, Mexico, ventilates the following snako story, upon the au? thority of the "oldest inhabitant." "In certain interior districts in Mexico, there abounds a species of large snake, similar to the anaconda, which the farmers train and domesticate, and rendor exceed? ingly useful. One of these snakes being trained, to remain within the limits of a garden or field, remains there faithfully, driving out all intruders, from a man to a mouse, and the whole feathered tribe. Whilst thus terrible to strangers and to beasts and birds, he is said to be as docile and af? fectionate to his master and family as it is possible for a snake to be." 0, for a few snakes to guard our corn, bean, and melon patches ! ^ntesw Witts Citrnnt CORRECTED WEEKLY BY BEWLEY, KEESE & CO., North Side of the Public Square.

BEING fully conscious of the impoverished condi? tion of the country, and knowing that many of our best citizens are unable to meet their liabilities, if forced to do so, without an entire sacrifice of everything left them out of tho vortex through which thoy had passed, I desire to make the most liberal arrangements within my power, with all who are indebted to me. I therefore propose, to allow all persons indebted to me, (and disposed to accept the proposition) four years to pay their in? debtedness to me, by paying mc regularly, in four equal, annual instalments. This arrangement will give ample time, and afford every opportunity to those indebted to me, to make the means necessary for the liquidation of their debts. All those indebted to me, will find it greatly to their interest, to call and set tie with me, as I prom? ise I will not sue any parties who accept of the above proposition, and enter into a settlement on the terms proposed.
