Wo have so often repeated the rule against pub? lishing anonymous contributions that it is scarcely accessary to assure the public, that a responsible name must always accompany the favors of a cor? respondent, to insure atteution. The author of lines addressed " To Maggie," will take due no? tice and govern himself accordingly. -v-?? FUBSTAN UNIVERSITY. We have received a catalogue of this flourishing institution for the year 186(3, showing an atten? dance of HO students during the year. The Faculty is large and ably filled, with Rev. James C. Fur mas as the President. The spring session began cn the 15th instant. Tho catalogue is from the press of G. E. Elford, Esq., of Greenville, and is a model of typographi? cal neatness. -41 THE CULTUBE OF BICE. We invite ntiention to an able aud instructive article upon this subject, from the pen of Dr. 0. B. Broyles, and which will be found upon the fourth page of this issue. The valued experience of the Doctor, and his extensive reputation as an agricultural writer, will command for this paper a general perusal. The letter is addressed to A. F. Lewis, Esq., and is published at the request "of the Pendleton Agricultural Society. Now that our honored friend has broken a long silence, and allowed himself to appear in print emce more, we sincerely trust that his pen will not remain idle, and that the Intelligencer may be the zaedium of presenting his views and experience to the farmers of this section. We shall cheerfully cccord him space on every occasion. PERIODICALS. The March number of Godey'a Lady's Book has been upon our table for several days.

We havo received a private letter from one of the colony which left this District in October last for the El Dorado of the West. Our friend repre? sents the entire oplony well pleased with the coun? try, and says that all have gone to work with a determination to- achieve success in their labors. The following extract from the paper published in Jasper shows the spirit with which they wero wel? comed : South Carolina Ahoy !?We welcome most cor? dially a number of emigrants from the Palmetto State ?o this county. We are informed that the colony consists of one hundred and three persons (white) who have domiciliatcd on Thickety, about ten miles from our town. They seem to be people of. the right sort, earnest, energetic, thorough-going, and bring with them credentials of the highest character from their oid State "Long may they wave," and may old Anderson District soon send us a thousand more of the same sort' In the name of all our citizens we bid these newly arrived ones a kindly, friendly welcome. SECESSION VS. RECONSTUCTION. Tho citizens of this vicinity will scarcely fail to remember one Col. W. N. Bilro, who came from Tennessee in 18G0 to urge the people bf South Carolina not to falter or swerve in their purpose of ] secession. His eloquence and brilliant oratory were somewhat overshadowed by his course during the war, and we might narrate some interesting passages in the life of this modern Demosthenes, such as attempting to run the blockade of the Po? tomac and throwing himself into the arms of the enemy. But we do not propose to detain the read? er from the perusal of the annexed paragraph, which shows conclusively to what extent this lam pant and violent secessionist has been reconstruc? ted. Comment is totally unnecessary before this coinniunitj-. We copy from the Atlanta Intelligen? cer: Col. W. N. Bilbo, of Nashville, was advertiscd in the Press and I'imcs of Tuesday to "address our colored citizens, and others, at the Hall of Repre? sentatives, Wednesday evening, on the political questions of the day." Sincehis enfranchisement by the Tennessee Legislature, the negro is becom? ing a power in that State, and in receiving unre? mitting and amiable attentions at the hands of those who want to "vote him." The "colored cuss" gain* but littlo by his freedom, if he is to fall into the embraces of the political hacks and grubs with which the land is at preseut infested. .-o RETURN DAY. The fears and anxieties of many doubtless de? parted with the waning hours of Saturday last, and the mind of the poor debtor relieved when it was ascertained that so few of Sheriff McGukin'? "valentines" were in vogue. The result shows? Sum. Pros., 270; Writs, 131. Total, 401. In Oc? tober, 1800, there were 140 Writs and 182 Sum. Pros, returned, makijg 331. The contrast is fa? vorable, when we consider that more than five years have elapsed since the law was allowed un? restricted sway. In this connection, we beg leave to offer the fol? lowing paragraph from the Greenville Mountaineer, and commend its flattering allusion to the consid? eration of such as arc disposed to- disturb the harmony and good feeling now prevailing. But we must assure the writer that whilo the lawyers ?were quietly occupying their offices, they render? ed wholesome service in their efforts to dissuade many from the disposition to produce greater dis? tress afnl litigation Let our people, one and all, remember that others have praised tLeir conduct at this time, and it is essential that they prove themselves worthy of that praise hereafter : In these day-, of excessive litigation it is re? freshing to learn that there is at least one commu? nity where there is comparatively little suing. We learn from a friend that this is the case at Andor derson.. There have been onlv about one'hundrcd and thirty cases entered there thus far, and appa? rently there is little disposition to enter more. The-1 Sheriff and Clerk are represented as lounging in front of the Court House, and the lawyers are sit? ting in their offices enjoying their otium cum digni tate. All honor to Anderson! her people have shown, thenigelven worthy of all commendation. 1-jJUlP?? !? I ." - THE MILITARY GOVERNMENT BILL. The majority cf our renders arc already aware ' that ihc proposed military government for the South has been instituted by Congress, and that in all probability the present week will witness the in? auguration of these extreme measures. The bill introduced by Stevens, and published in fall last week, passed the House, but on reaching tho Sen? ate was modified and changed in several important particulars. Amendments were afterwards pro? posed and adopted in both Houses, and the bill known as the S?EBMAK substitute, with these amendments, was concurred in by Congress. Practically, this bill establishes military supre? macy over civil law, confers suffrage upon all male citizens twenty-one years old and upward) of what? ever race, or color, or previous condition, except such as may be disfranchised by tlie third section of the Constitutional amendment, which is incor? porated in the provisions of this bill. It. provides for a convention of delegates elected as aforesaid, whose duty shall be to frame a constitution to be submitted to the people for ratification or rejec? tion, irrespective of race or color, and to Congress for examination and approval. Further, when a State thus recognized adopts the Constitutional amendment, said State' shall be entitled to repre? sentation in Congress, upon the members Inking the prescribed oath. No person excluded from hoiding oflice by the Constitutional amendment shall be eligible to the convention nor entitled to vote for its members* The last reclion declares tlie civil governments now in existence over these States to be provisional onlyt and in all rcspcct3 subject to the paramount authority of the United States at any time to abolish, modify, control or supcrcede the same. No person is eligible to office under such provisional governments who would be disqualified from holding office by the third section of the Constitutional amendment. That is, no per? son who had previously taken nn oath of oflice to support the Constitution of the United Stntcs, and shall have "engaged in insurrection or rebellion, or given aid and comfort to the enemies thereof," is now entitled to hold office under the provisional givcrtiments of said States. These arc the main points of the bill as it passed both Houses, and Was sent to the President. Ad? vices from Washington indicate that the Executive will interpose his veto at once, and return the bill in lime for Congress to enact its provisions by a two-thirds vote. Thus the bill will become a law before the expiration of this session, which ter? minates on Monday next. We have no space for comments upon this meas? ure, nor-any desire to express our opinions upon this reconstruction scheme. As we have urged on previous occasions, tho South is powerless to avert the political chaos and confusion incident to this state of things, and it becomes our people to qui? etly acquiesce in the result, and manifest the same dignified acceptance of the situation tliat has cliar actcrized the masses hertofore. Fate has decreed against us, and no possible good can emanate from . violent denunciation nor vaporing nnnihemns upon these harsh and imperative measures. The sequel will bring enough of woe and tribulation, and it is unnecessary to anticipate the future. Neither will the despondency and gloom relieve the sombre picture, but patience and endurance will bring our oppressed section through the fiery ordeal. May Heaven grant faith and courage to breast the storm and undergo the worst. We subjoin a correct and authenticated copy of the bill as it passed: as act to tkovide Fort the more efficient c-ov ebx.mknt of tue bebel states. Whereas no legal State Governments or adequate protection for life or property now exists in the rebel States of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi, Alnbarna, Louisi anna, Florida, Texas, aud Arkansas: and whereas it is necessary that peace, and good order should be enforced in said States until loyal and republican State governments, can be legally established, therefore, Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Repre? sentatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That said rebel States shall be divided into military districts and made subject to the*mil? itary authority of the United States, as hereinaf? ter prescribed, and for that purpose Virginia shall constitute the first district; North Carolina and South Carolina the second district, Georgia, Ala? bama and Florida the third district, Mississippi and Arkansas the fourth district, and Louisiana and Texas the fifth. Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That it shall be the duty of the President to assign to the command of each of said districts an officer of the army, not below the rank of Brigadier-General, and to detail a sufficient military force to enable such officer to perform his duties and enforce his au? thority within the district to which he is assigned. Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, That it shall be the duty of each officer nssig..ed as aforesaid to protect all persons in their rights of person &nd property, to suppress insurrection,- disorder, and violence, and to punish or to cause to be punished, all disturbers of the public peace and criminals, and to this end he may allow local civil tribunals to fake jurisdiction of and to try offenders, or, when in his judgmeirt it may be necessary for the trial of offenders, he shall have power to organize military commissions or tribunals for that purpose; and all interference under color of State aathority under this Act shall be null and void. Sec. 4. And be it Jurthcr enacted, That all per? sons put under military arrest by virtue of this Act shall be tried without unnecessary delay, nnd no cruel or unusual punishment shall be inflicted ; and no sentence of any military commission or tribunal hereby authorized, affecting the life or liberty of any person, shall be executed until it is approved by the officer in command of the district, and the laws ami regulations for the government of the army shall not be affected by this Act, ex? cept so far as they conflict with its provisions:? Provided, That no sentence of death under the provisions of this Act shall be carried into effect without the approval of the President. Sec 5. And be it further enacted, That when' the people of any one of the said rebel States shall have formed a Constitution of Government in con formiiy with the Constitution of the United States in all respects, framed by a convention of dele? gates elected by the male citizens- of said State, twenty-one yearsoldand upward, of whatever raoe. color, or previous- conditionr who have been- resi? dent in said State for on<e year previous to the day of election, except such as muy be disfroncliiscil for participation in the rebellion, or for felony at common law, and when such Constitution shall provide that the elective franchise shall be enjoyed by all such persons as have the qualifications here? in stated for election of delegates, and when such constitution shall be ratified by a majority of the persons voting on the subject of ratification, who are qualified as electors for delegates, and when such constitution shall have been submitted to Congress for examination and approval, and Con? gress shall have approved the same, and when said State, by a vote of its legislature under said con? stitution, shall have adopted the amendment to the constitution of the United States, proposed by j the Thirty-Ninth CongresB, and known as article j fourteen, and when said article shall havo become a part of the constitution of tile United Slates, said S ate shall be declared entitled to representation in Congress, and Senators and Representatives shall be admitted therefrom on taking the oath prescribed by law, and then and thereafter the preceding sections of this Bill shall be inopera? tive in said State: Provided, That no person ex? cluded from the privilege of holding office by said proposed amendment to the constitution of the United States shall be eligible to election as a member of the convention to frame a.constitution for any of the said rebel States, nor shall ?nysuch pcrso.ns vote for members of said convention. Sec. 6. And be it farther enacted, That until the people of the said rebel States shall be by law ad? mitted to representation in the Congress Of the Uni? ted States, any civil governments which may ex? ist t herein shall be deemed provisional Only, and in all respects subject to the paramount authority of the.United States at any.time to-nbolish, modi? fy, control or supcrcede, the same ; and in all elec? tions to any office under such provisional govern? ments, all persons shall be chtitled to vote, and none other, who arc entitled to vote under the provisions of the fifth section of this act; and no person shall be eligible to any office under any such provisional governments who would bo dis? qualified from holding office under the provisions of the third article of said constitutional amend? ment. -* THE ORPHAN'S HOME* We hare been apprised, for some mohths, that an effort was making to establish an Orphan's Home in this section, chiefly for the benefit of children of deceased soldiers; The Ilev. T. II; Ed? wards is the prime mover in this laudable enter? prise, and has chosen to employ hitherto personal exertions in this matter. Having succeeded in devising means, this gentleman now confides the work to the Board of Trustees, from which an Ex? ecutive Committee has bech appointed to further details and arrange a plah of proceeding hereafter. While heartily endorsing the noble and praisewor? thy object, we deem it sufficient to direct attention, for the present, to the annexed proceedings of a meeting held at Pendleton on Saturday last, when an organization was effected : Pexdleto*, S. C, Feb. 23, 1SG?. At ft meeting this day called of the friends of the institution proposed to be put in operation, to be called the Orphan Home, and intended for the edu? cation of orphans, white and colored, upon the labor school plan. Mr. Robert A. Maxwell, Sr., was called to the Chair, and Col. Hayne appointed Secretary. The Rev. T. H. Edwards then explained the ob? jects of the meeting, whioh was to organise a per? manent Board of Trustees to take charge of the funds that might be raised, and direct in the man? agement of the' Orphan Homo. He also gave to the .meeting a history of the prospects before him, and an account of the successes he had met with in his recent visit to Washington, Baltimore, Philadel? phia and New York. That this was intended mainly to prepare a home for l#hc orphans, where they might be taught morality, the common rudi? ments of an English education, .together with a practical knowledge of agriculture. It is, however, in nowise connected with the great effort inaugu? rated by the Pendleton Agricultural Society in November last, for the purpose of promoting agri? cultural knowledge. The following resolution was then offered. Resolved, That a Committee of three be appoint? ed by the Chair to nominate fifteen Trustees, who shall have the manngemcnt and control of the real estate and funds of the institution, and when so Chosen, any five of whom shall be a quorum for transacting business* Upon which being adopted, the Chairman ap? pointed It. F. Simpson, T. II. Edwards und F. G. Clemson, who, after consultation, reported the fol? lowing names for Trustees: Hon. J. L. Orr, to be Chairman; Col. Win. S. Pickons, J. B. Sitton, Esq., Hons. T. G. Clemson, B. F. Perry, S. Bobo, James Chestnut, Wra. Aikcn, W. Henry Trcscot, J. Edward Calhoun, Esq., Rev. T. II. Edwards, llev. Dr. J. B. Auger, Hobt. Adger, R, F. Simpson, Allen McFarlan. It was moved and carried that the report be adopted. It was then Resolved, That said Board shall have power to fnl racnniiss that.may occur in their body by death, resignation or otherwise; to pass such by-Jaws lor their future government as a ma? jority may direct ; to appoint agents and provide for their expenses, and generally to do till such acts that may be necessary to carry out the great objects of the institution, so tbfft it fn>iy be really a moral, intellectual and industrial home fcr des? titute orphans. Resolved further, That a Committee of three be appointed by the Chair, to be selected from the Board of Trustees just nominated, to be styled the Executive Committee, whose duty it shall be to take steps for the immediate procuring a charter and to act generally for the interest of the institution un? til the Board of Trustees shall meet, frame their by-laws, and prescribe specific duties to the said Executive Committee. The Chair then appointed R. F. Simpson, Win. S. Bickens and T. H. Edwards the Executive Com? mittee. Resolved farther, That the Rev. T. H. Edwards shall be, and he is hereby appointed by this meet? ing our Agent and Superintendent to procure funds, and select a situation for the institution, in all which he is to act in concert with the Executive Committee herein appointed. Ali which having been adopted, it was then moved that the proceedings of this meeting be published in the District papers, with a request that all the papers published in this State do copy. The meeting on motion adjourned. W. A. HAYNE, Secretary. The Rev. T. II. Edwards, Agent, suggests that to carry out the purposes of the Agency, good fanning land aud water-power will be necessary ; he therefore requests any owners of such lands who are desirous to sell, to inform him by letter at Ncwbcrry C. If., the description of said lands, the quantity, and the price in cash. -o Jjg^ The Old Southern Drug House of Goon kicii, Win em ax & Co., No. 153 Meeting-street, Charleston, S. C, is again opened with a most de? sirable Stock of Genuine and Imported Drugs and Chemicals. Since the close of the war our physi? cians have been much bothered where to buy arti? cles that they could rely on, end have bad to.get supplies from inexperienced houses. This they ! need not do any longer. Let them send their or? ders to Goodrrch, Wincman & Co., and they can depend on getting pure articles. -4?-L PERSONAL-. His Excellency the Governor returned to- his : home in this place on Saturday last, after an ab j senco of several weeks in Wushington and elsc j where. We are pleased to see him looking 60 well, j but learn that he is decidedly impressed with the j gloomy nature of political affairs. I ?-o A half interest in the Chester Standard is offered [ for sale, i - i Editorial Pennings and Clippings. A Southern Editor's Rehiiuiscences. Tlie Memphis Avalantke indulges in the follow? ing bit of sentiment: "Late at night, while the fire and lamps burn low and dim, we lay down No. 10,032, Volume G'8 of the National Intelligencer, and lean back to (hink, overcome by tlie many memories which its familiar caption calls up. We have read it Con stanlly for thirty-two years, minus the four bitter years of civil war, and had the good fortune to know its old editors, Joe Gales and Wm. W.

Not dnly Of these princely gentlemen docs the Intelligencer re? mind us, but of many, many another whom we were fortunate in knowing, aad whom the country has lost?Webster, ahd Clay, and Crittenden ; Dawson, tho Commodore, of Georgia, peerless at the dinner table; Rusk and Houston, Floyd, kind? est hearted of all living men; that noble gentle? man, Butler* of South Carolina, Prent iss, worthy to be called Chrysotern, golden-mouthed, and not only beyond comparison the most eloquent, but the most genial and generous of men; large headed Tom Corwin; Keith, gallant and good; Badger, wise beyond other men, of admirable wit, and always enamored of the truth; Scvier and Douglas, Clemens and Quitman, with many a dear old familiar face of others less known to fame and even more beloved, cr?ftd around us as we write ; the dead mingling with the living. Porter, of the Spirit, and Inman, the nrtist, and glorious John Brougham, and Alexander Bimmitry, large-eouled as one of Homer's heroes and wise as Plato ; Breckehridge and Bonham, Boycc and Robert Johnson, four men of like princely natures; all these, and many like these, wc met at Washington in the better times, when the Senate of the United States sat in the old chamber, and that dity was the capitol of both the Northern and the Southern States. Eheu, fugaccs ! how the years drift away, and wc become garrulous, nnd forget that the long list of names, and the memories they call up, of ?the reflections of the gods' and times gone never to return, and scenes already dim as they recede into the past, have interest for no one butoitrself! Nevertheless it is wtiitertj it is a Cry from the heart. Let it stand. Thank God, neither power and malice can confiscate and sell for coin to knaves the happy or the sad momentocs Of the past." Commcii{9 of the Washington Pre'ssi Wc subjoin the comments of the newspapers at Washington in relation to the bill which has pass? ed Congress for the government of the South: At a late hour last night tlie reconstruction bill passed the Senate, with the odious House amend? ments included?amendments that should have pnlsicd the hands that penned thcftl, as they will blacken, in after days, the character of those who pushed them forward to a ?successful consumma? tion. Wc know that the better sort of Republicans desired at heart, that that form of embittered pro scriptiveness should not be forced upon them, but. the behests of fanaticism and mercenaries were all pow.crful, ns is seen by the apparently despairing vote against the bill.?National Intelligencer, 121?/. As it will be observed, this bill passed the Sen? ate yesterday evening. If the President approves of the measure, he will make himself a military despot over ten States of the Federal Union. He cannot sign it with honor. It sets aside the Con? stitution and Supreme Court of the United States, disregards all civil authorities and laws, and con? fers absolute power, unlimited and uncontrolled by men, upon tlie President. We believe him to be too mucli of a patriot to accept the boon" (has uttered him. At the same time, we sincerely hope aiid believe that he will return the bill with his ob? jections; and throw the responsibility of having enacted such a monstrous law upon its authors. Such a thing in a man's "pocket" would certainly make him feel uncomfortable.? National Republic can, 21 st. The measure of Congressional reconstruction is complete. It leaves nothing to interference. It is clear?it leaves nothing to doubt. While with one hand it exclude* traitdrs from control, it re? stores the common or natural rights to all loyal men, aud accompanies the' pledge with the protec? tion. At one fell swuop, the whole system of op? pression, whether Stale Governments or Si ale laws, falls to the ground. For the first time since the beginning ol the world, man has been secured the ? full opportunity to prove himself worthy of self government.?/'or/ieg's Chronicle, 21st. Official Impudence. The reader will rcmombSr that, a few Weeks since, several young men in Rome, Geo., were ar? rested by the military for participating in n ta? bleaux where the Confederate flag was introduced. Wc learn that the oflicer making the arrest was or? dered also to tako into' custody the young ladies, but declined. The young men were kept in con? finement for two or three weeks, and then released by an order from Maj. Gen. Thomas, to whom the case was referred. The following extract is from the order making this release, and We submit that it contains more downright effrontery and bare? faced impudence than any similar production of these degenerate times? The sole causo' of this and similar offence's fieyin the fact that certain citizens of Rome, and a por? tion of the people of the States lately in rebellion, do not, and have not, accepted the situation, and that is that the late civil war wns a rebellion, and history will so record it. Those engaged in it are and wilt be pronounced rebels. Rebellion implies treason, and treason is a crime, and a heinous one, loo, and deserving of punishment; and that trai? tors have not. been punished, is owing to the mag? nanimity of the conquerors. With too many of the people cf tire'South the late civil war is called a revolution. Rebels arc called "Confederates;" loyalists to the whole country arc called "d?-d Vankccs and traitors," and over the whole great crime, with its accursed record of slaughtered he roes, patriots, murdered because of their true love of country, widowed wives and orphaned children, and prisoners of war"slnin, and such horrors as find n'o parallel in the history of the world1, you are trying to throw the gloss of respectability, n'nd thrusting with contumely and derision from your society the men and women who would not join hands with you in the work of ruining your coun? try Everywhere in the States lately in rebellion treason is respectable and loyalty odious; This the people of t Ive United States-, who ended the re? bellion ami saved the'Country, will not permit, and all attempts to maintain this unnatural order of things will be nret with decided disapproval. Eloquent Extracfr The Athens (Geo.) Watchman, rcferri?g to fhe opening-of the University of Georgia, and to tire fact that there ;irc thirty maimed Confederate sol? diers entered at the High School, makes the fol? lowing eloquent and affecting allusion to their presence : The sight of so many of these mutilated heroes has called up many sad and bitter memories, not unmingicd, though, thanks to God and their valor! with proud remembrances of a Lost, but not Dis I honored Cause. We recall i ho march and the bivouac?tlic scanty rations, the shivering limbs, the half shod feet?wasting sickness and grievous wounds and death?and finally, the eclipse of that resplendent Sun that for four long years had lit a Continent with glory. But We als? remember Lee and Jackson, the Johnstons and "Beauregard? again the Starry Cross waves in triumph over an hundred battle-fields, watered with the btbod, and illustrated by the prowess of Southern chivalry? again we listen to the world's applause, and the extorted admiration even Of Our enemies?again we remember how War's stern crucible only brought out, purer and finer, the gold of noble na? tures ; and how the Women of the Solith wept, and prayed, and toiled, and suffered, and Sacrificed until it seemed that the Matrons Of Greece and Rome had come back to earth*. Alas! that Buch glorious dreams should have so cruel an awakening; Be it ours in future, What? ever betide, to care for, to cherish, td soothe and sustain these links that bind us to the "Loved and Lost." .ae-;-=.

The Carolina Times says: "All we want now to make ihis burgh a seaport town, after the manufactory is up, is for some enterprising firm tb start a litle ol* steamers betWbert here and Livjjjjpool, (per Edisto river,) and if we don't plant, manufacture and export for ourselves we deserve to remain ignominiously a little one-horse, slow-c?ach, inland collection of huts, hidden by the forests of obscurit-v from the knowledge of the world " The \ewbcrry tlrrald Says that five Iree'dracn, confined in the jail at that place, under sentence of death for the murder of Mr. Lemuel Lane, made their escape on Sunday morning, by breaking through three heavily fastened doors. It was dis? covered at daylight, and active pursuit immedi? ately instituted; The Sheriff offers d reward of $100 for each or any of them. The Presbyterian congregation Of Spartanburg have secured tlic services of Rev. A. A. Porter, of York, and tltti reverend gentleman has removed to that place with his family. The Columbia Tkanix is pleased to ledrtl fliat Maj. It. Hi Walton, formerly agent of the National Express Company, has been appointed agent of the Greenville and Columbia Railroad at that place. The Abbeville Banner says ?hat the record shows about five hundred cases returned for the spring ternri, which is smaller than was generally antici? pated: The Pickcns douricr states that Mr. J. W. Cobb, well known in this District, has been appointed Deputy United States Marshal for Pickcns Dis? trict. Also, that T. B. Thurston, Esq., has been appointed collector of Internal Revenue for the Districts of Greenville and Pickcns, and the Cour? ier perlinently says: "To be compelled to pay lax to a government which refuses us representa? tion, is bad; but to be required to travel a dis? tance of sixty miles, more or less, to effeot ibis object, is an unnecessary outrage upon the pe6ple." The Catndeu Jovrnal acknowledges a donation of live hundred dollars, for the relief of the desti? tute in that community, from the Southern Relief Association of St. Louis, Mo. The Edgefield Advertiser writes ddw'n Niric Hun? dred Wrils as the fruits of Return Day in that District, b?t states that a very'large number of these Writs arc Summary Processes, atld a very large number are suits of Administrators, &c.? We will venture the opinion that this re'snlt le? gitimately ensues from the policy Of vexing this question so much during the past two years.? Edgefield has, perhaps,- undergone fiercer conflicts on this question, judging from the publ?c press, than any other District, and as this indiscriminate suing is attributable elsewhere to such agitation, we presume that distrust and want of confidence has been engendered there likewise'. The Greenville Mountaineer regrets to' learn fliat intelligence has been received to the effect that R. Tully Boiling, a Citizen of that place, was recently drowned near Palatka, Fla/ ?

SoiUh Carolina Lureau of Immigration, CHARLESTON, Fef. 31, 1807: THE undersigned having been; rippoirilcd Commis? sioner, has been instructed by his Excellency, Governor Oim, to organize the Bureau at the earli? est possible moment. In n few days agents will be appointed by the Governor to proceed to Europe, whose duly it will be to induce immigration1 to our State, to disseminate such information as may be furnished them of lands for sale or lease, and to engage sucli laborers, mechanics, servants and oth? er help as may be desired by the inhabitants of the State. An agent for the same object will, per? haps, be sent to New Vork. It would be desirable that our people furnish this Bureau", without delay, with information how they desire to be served,- in? dicating the kind of help they require and the wages which they are willing to pay, or a descrip? tion of the htrtd-s they have for sale or lease, and their ternrs and conditions. If combinations can be'fornred in the several Districts of the' Stufe' for joint action, it would, perhaps, facilitate mutual operations, and where arrangements can be made to advance part of the passage money of the la? boring immigrants by accepte'd orders to that effect on any of the factors or merchants of Charleston, it would rto doubt greatly advance the result.- If the people that favor this m'pasure would meet at their respective Court Houses to consult, and indicate their wants, this Bureau would take great pleasure in serving their interest to the best of its ability. A pamphlet will be printed in several European languages'for distribution, describing the capacities" ami advantages of out soil, climate, productions, Ac".,^! which many particulars, that aro promptly furnished1, may be advertised1. The means at the disposal ?f this Bateau being strict? ly limited the kind assistance of the conductors of our public journals itf respectfully requested. JOHN A.
