Wednesday Morning-, Marah 13. All papers discontinued at the expiration of the time for which they hare- been paid. tSf' No name cn'terc? upon the books unless the money accompanies the order. A cross-mark indicates that the subscrip? tion is about to expire. Specimen copies always sent, upon Rppli fcation. the young MEN of TEE south. The Richmond Dispatch has been looking around to ascertain who will be eligible to office under the ehanged condition of affairs, and is quite cheered to find so many capable, persons -still left to take charge of public matters. The disfranchisement of former leaders and representative men imposes the duties upon those not disqualified, and conse? quently the young men of the present generation j .must take upon themselves the burthen of office.? Apart from representation in Congress, where the iron-clad oath is a pre-requisite to admission now noad hereafter, the .young mon of energy and ability will be requited to manage the affairs of State and municipal government. Tho sooner, therefore, this fact is realized, the better for all concerned. "When the proper time arrives-for. selection, the people should pursue the policy indicated, -:-o Crime in new yorx. The New York; Tribune has a very sensible arti-! clo upon the subject of "The Mystery of Marder," f b the coarse of which it furnishes some very start? ling facts. Amongst others is the statement that I In the city of New York there were, during the , yea? 1866,-no fewer than seventy-one homicides and murders, without including numerous cases of j death by drowning or .other means, where it was Hot clear whether or not there had been foul play. Only thirty-three persons were arrested for these crimes, and the records of the courts show only fifteen convictions (several of which were for of ?fences committed in a previous year,) with nine? teen prisoners still to be tried. That is to say, of | the perpetrators of clear and unmistakable homi? cides in New York more than fifty percent, are not arrested, and nearly eighty per cent, are not punished. We would siiggesfc to Congress that New York might afford ample room for an investigating com? mittee to inquire into the best mode of preventing Crime. As that city now supports & standing army of moTe than two thousand policemen, mili? tary rule would prore ineffectual. nWe cannot ven - ture a remedy, however, and lea-re the subject to those enlightened patriots who aro shocked with an occasional murder in the entire Southern States, o - agricultural journals, Our old favorite,, the Southern Cultivator, for March, is upon our table. The contents ore just Of that quality best adapted to the wants and con? dition of farmers in this section, and we cannot too strongly urge its claims to patronage. With to increasing business, the proprietor steadily ad? vances the interest and attraction of his journal^ and the ablest writers are employed in diffusing light to an impoverished people. Published at Athens, Geo., by Wm. N. White and D. Redmond, editors. Sent with the Intelligencer for $1.50 per annum. The American Agritillt?rist is ode Of the leading agricultural papers in this country. Established In 1842, its- immensive subscription list places thousands in possession of valuable information^ tho paper containing thirty-eight pages of closely printed matter. The engravings are equal to any? thing in that line we have ever seen, and the en? tire typographical execution is worthy of commen? dation. Published by Oranoe Judd & Co., New York, at 51.50 per annunl. We are also in receipt of the March number of the Southern Planter, published at Richmond, Va., at $3.00 per year. This journal was established in 1840, and for many years was justly regarded as an exponent of correct principles in farming and an earnest advocate of the interests and prosperity of the South. It has lately been revived, and now presents a superb appearance, and contains an un? usually large amount of reading matter. Its ty? pography is unexceptionable, containing sixty four neatly printed pages, and baring on excellent paper cover. We are charmed alike with the exe? cution and contents of this work. Address C. B. Williams, editor and proprietor. SPRING TERM, Tho Court of General Sessions and Common Pleas for this District conveneu1 on Monday last, Judge Glover preniding. Thejbusiness is progress? ing, at this writing, but we are unable to indicate the amount before the Court, nor whether the en? tire week will be occupied. We have heard of no important case on docket. While in the Court ft>r a few minutes on yesterday, wo observed that Solicitor Reed was at his usual avocation, namely, prosecuting with vigor and ability offenders against the law. Hi3 Honor seems patient and placid as of yore, and we are gratified to note that he is in apparent? ly good health. The attendance of mombers of the "groen-bag" fraternity is unusually large, la faot, we do not remember ever to have 'seen so many lawyers from a distance before. Our eyes wore dazzled by the imposing array of legal talent, and an involuntary emotion of pleasure was felt for the growing dis? position to- defend the people and protect their lawful rights. We noticed among the visiting mem? bers of the bar, the Hon. B. F. Perry, Col. Cr. F. Towxes, (our editorial confrere,) C. J. Elford, T. Donaldson, wi E. Earle, John W. Stokes and Edw. F. Stokes, of Greenville; Gen. Sam'l. Mc Gowan, Hon. A. Burt, James S. Cothran, Esq., 1 andEow. Noble, Esq., of Abbeville; Col. J. J. Norto? aad Maj. J. M* Abahs, of Pickces. -o-? Don't you prefer to patronize your own people instead of strangers, when you can do equally as well, if not better ? Why of course you would. Then*, if such is the case, buy your Drugs and Medicines from the Okl Southern Drug House of Goodrich, Wineman & Co;, No-. 153 Meoting street, Charleston, who keep tho best stock of pure and reliable Medicines to bo found' South. You will then bo maying from your own people, aad not from strangers. ?-? Anderson, March 12'.

Brownlow has issued n proclamation stating that i lie will call out the militia to protect the Union I ?cn against evil-doers. j " ONCE X ORE TO THE BREECH ?? In a brief editorial last -week, we voluntarily as sumed a position which has been misunderstood, and we take the earliest opportunity of placing oursclf recites in atria before the public. While ex? pressing no desire to take the lead in this momen? tous crisis in our history as a State, and would In? finitely, prefer that the masses might guide the helm in this extremity, nevertheless there arc duties imposed by our position as a public journ? alist from which we have never yet shrank for a single moment. One of those duties?important and elevated in its character, and -which must be performed at all events, is the proper enlightenment o/such as look to this paper for informal inn on the political topics of the day. We have endeavored to discharge this duty faithfully and impartially, and shall continue to exercise -whatever intelligence and ability we may profess to further the end pro? posed. And in temporarily excluding from these columns any advice to the people calculated to af? fect their action on public questions, we did not intend to surrender the inalienable right and pri? vilege of entertaining a decided opinion on these questions. But friends have misconstrued our motives and declarations, and rather than bear the semblance of moral cowardice in this or tiny other extremity, we willingly resume the discussion of themes calculated to affect the destiny of f.his country now and hereafter, albeit the theme Itsslf is distasteful and against our inclinations. Therefore, it becomes our duty on this occoiiion to afford others the benefit of Buch reflections and thoughts as may occur to our mind upon the para? mount question now before them. Their decision is tailed for by the recent action of Congi-esa. The inauguration cf military rulo will soon be npon them, and whether or not they will actively, ener? getically pnrBue the right, leaving the consequen? ces to a higher power than any upon earth, remains to be developed. It is unnecessary to declare that we have strenuously opposed any sycophantic sur? render of the rights guaranteed by the Federal compact. That instrument is not now the law of the land; the will of a fanatical Congress has su perceded it; but the* day may yet come when its provisions shall shino forth in all their pristine purity and glory. Believing thus, il would be rccrccant in the highest degree to favor a policy looking to an aban? donment of these cherished principles for the sake of temporary citse or advantage. If the guarantees and limitations imposed by tho Constitution arc ever to affect the legislative branch of the govern? ment again, then it is utter folly for a people who have endured so much for principle to seize upon an evil moment to succumb beneath the aggregated weight of mere physical power. We can remain quiet and obedient to authority even unlawfully set over us. We can endure much more in the cause of enlightened liberty. The madness of the hour may demand concession, but firmness and steady adherence to principle will ultimately tri? umph. But the practical issue has been made in this State, looking towards an early convention of the people to acci.'dc to tho provisions imposed by the Sbxbmak bill. We are utterly opposed to the movement, and shall briefly assign our reasons.. The present State Government is declared illegal by this act, and it is in direct conflict with this proposition for the executive, legislative or judicial authority of the State to attempt An execution of its powers. The Governor may be importuned to call the Legislature, and that body likewise beset to order an election for members of the convention. But, under this bill, neither have the power thus to act. Admitting, however," that the authority is conferred, any such action forever destroys the le? gal remedy to contest the constitutionality of the measure. In our opinion, so far as the powers delegated by'this bill are concerned, there is only one person authorized to order the* convention.? That individual is the Brigadier Qeneral who pre? sides over tho newly constituted Military District. When his mandate is issued, the people arc com? pelled to obey, by mere force of the bayonet. ? No alternative is left them, as a conquered people.? But even then the right to test the measure in the Supreme Court is not taken away from them, and when the hour for calm reflection arrives, this peo? ple will stand forth, unsullied in honor and unde? nted in principle* Theso views arc hastily thrown together, and we propose to resume their consideration another time. In the" meanwhile, we earnestly exhort the people to patient endurance and manly firmness. The insolent tcims proposed by our would-be mas? ters inflict no degradation upon the South, and to? day her crest is high above the machinations of these valiant conquerors. History will repeat her story and perpetuate her virtues, unless she is led astray by false lights and sinks beneath the waves of self-imposed infamy. The Norman conquest of the Saxons afford an example at this time. The conqueror dictated terms, but it is not recorded that the brave Saxons yielded to or accepted those terms. That gallant people were saved from such re? proach, and history records the unjust exactions and oppression of their Norman masters. In the lan? guage cf ft cotcmpofary, let the people of the South t profit by this heroic example! Let them submit patiently, manfully, heroically, to the terms im? posed upon them 1 Resistance would be worse than folly; it would be madness, not excelled by by that feeling which actuates the dominant party in their unholy purpose of crushing the South be? neath the iron heol of oppression. ? Editorial Pennings and Clippings. Who are Disqualified f This question is frequently asked, in connection with the operations of the Military Bill. The fol? lowing statement, from the pen of an eminent ju? rist of Georgia, seems to i.fford a more explicit answer than' anything which has come under our observation, and We offer it for the consideration of our subscribers. The following persons arc em? braced in the class excluded by the Constitutional Amendment from holding office, and from the ballot box by the late bill : 1st. All persons who, before the war, were mcm bors of Congress, 0r officers of the United States, and afterwards engaged in the rebellion. 2d. AH persons who, prior to the war, were ex? ecutive, legislative or judicial officers of the State, and took the like oath, and engaged in the rebel? lion. This embraces Governors, members of tho Leg? islature, and judicial officers, from a judge of the Supremo Court dowu to a justice of the peace, who, at any time, held the office and t jok the oath and afterwards engaged in the rebellion. The writer then gives five additional paragraphs as to who are not excluded: . 1st. No one is excluded because Tic held an office under the Confederate States from President down, if ho docs not fall within one of the excluded clas? ses abovu specified. Tho simple- fmct that he was a Confederate Senator or a Confederate General, or that he took an oath to support the Constitution of the Confederate States, iloc3 not exclude him. 2d. No State or county officer is excluded on ac? count of his having held the oflice and taken the ! oath and engaged iu the rebellion, if he were not, an executive, legislative or judicial officer; there? fore, neither a lawyer, sheriff, clerk, tax collector, receiver, county treasurer, coronor, surveyor, con? stable or road coramissmner is excluded. 3d. As no man under twenty-one years of age, when the war began, held any 6uch office as dis? qualified, and none of them took the oath to sup? port the Constitution of the United State's during the war, and as the war commenced nearly six ycar? ago, no man in Georgia under twenty-seven years of age can be excluded. 4(h. Militia officers arc not excluded. 6th. The wholn mass of our people who fall within hpne of tiie excluded classes above men? tioned, are free from the disqualification, and may vote and hold any office in the State Without regard to the part they took in the war. Drtef and Bright Items. Now is the time, says tho Richmond Times, for the South to show the greatness of her soul, and to make her persecutors desperate in the discove? ry that bayonets and brute force have no terrors for her; tiut the sublimity of her courage and fortitude can never be reichet, by'those who have neither the wisdom nor statesmanship to "recon? struct," but idly think that all the Gordian knots of politics can be cut by the sword of a Brigadier. The Richmond .Enquirer closes an editorial as follows: "We entreat the men of the North to take counsel of their own knowledge of human na? ture?to consult their interests?to remember their oaths and engagements?in their dealings with the South. If they will not admt^ us to our privileges at Washington, at least leave ?6 at peace in our local affairs. Let the Samson whom they have captured, and Whose eyes they have put out, be useful in the mill, instead of making of him an occasion of general calamity." The Richmond Examiner says: "The course of current events admonishes us that we need look for effectual sympathy nowhere but to our neigh? bors. In the fearful future towards which our en I emies Impel us, there is no cloud so black that its gloom may. not be enhanced by fraternal jeal? ousies, prejudices and strife. Let us, in the de? velopment of our material resources, as in the de I velopment of our political fate, stand or fall to? gether." By economy, frugality and ihdu3try, we may re? gain, or repair our shattered fortunes. Let no man be ashamed of his poverty?honest, virtuous {'poverty, is no disgrace. The ftisddm that we have learned by experience, will become our talis I man in the future, and the final adjustment may I bring repose and quiet to the country. Let us I hope for the best I The New York Legislature has voted down a J I proposition to let negroes vote in that State for delegates to the constitutional convention. This same body is in favor of thrusting negro suffrage upon their countrymen in the South?and not only that, but in favor also of keeping them out df the j Union until they consent to it. I Personal, I Admiral Scmme3, the Confederate naval hero, has assumed the position of editor-in-chief of the Memphis Bulletin. Gen. Robert ToomtJs recently returned to Geor? gia, via New Orleans, after a prolonged exile in Europe. j Died, at the residence of her brother, Admiral j Shn'brick, in Washington, on the 3rd inst., Mrs. I Dccima C, widow of the late" James H.

He' leaves a I wife and sixteen children. -O THE GENERAL BANKRUPT LAW; I The following is an abstract of the General Bank I rupt Law passed by the Thirty-ninth Congress, and I signed by the President; It receives a terrible in I tcrcst from the fact that, through its provisions for I "involuntary bankruptcy," it can be made an in j strumeut of oppression to the Southern people little j less rigorous than a universal confiscation act: The jurisdiction in bankruptcy cases is given by the act fo the several District Courts of the United I Slates, with the United Statn.s Circuit Courts act I ing iu a supervisory capacity as Courts of Equity, j The Judges of the District Courts will be assisted j in the performance of the duties imposed upon j them by.Rcgisters-in bankruptcy, who are required j to be counselors of ^ose courts, or of some of me Courts of Record of their several States. The power of the Registers is limited, and provision is J made for reference of disputed questions to' the J District Cou::t Judges, nnd for appeals from the District Courts to the Circuit Cdurts, and from the hitter, in cases where the latter in dispute shall ex? ceed $2,000, \o the Supreme Court of the United I States. There are two kinds of baftlcr?ptcy contemplated by the act; voluntary alid involuntary. In the former any person residing within the jurisdiction j of the United States, owing over three hundred dollars, and finding himself insolvent, may apply by petition to the judge of the district in which he j has resided for tho six months preceding the date I of the petition, or for the lougest period during I such six months, and shall thereupon be declared j a bankrupt. Tho creditors; having been properly j notified by the oourt, meet together and appoint I one or more assignees of the estate of the debtor; I the choice to be made by the greater part in value J and in number of the creditors who have proved j their debts, or in case of failure to agree, then by j the District Judge, or where there arc rto opposing { creditors, by tho Register. Tho wholo affairs of I bankrupt pass into the hands of the assignees, who I have full powers granted them necessary for' the collection of all debts and the final adjustment and I closing up of the estate. Stringent regulations are I made for the proper deposit and safe keeping of all moneys received from the' estate ; and where delay [ is likely to oecur from litigation in the final distri [ butiori of the assets the court is cmpowcicd to di frect their temporary investment. The bankrupt is liable at all times to be called up for examina? tion on oath upon all matters relating to the dis po^ 9r condition of hid property or to his busi? ness transactions, and, for good cause shown, his wife may in like matfner be compelled to attend as a witness in the case. In the distribution of the bankrupt's c'fffatc divi? dends arc1 to bo paid as agreed upon by a ma? jority in value of the creditors, from time to timc>" at three months intervals, but the following claims are first to be paid in full:?First, tho fees, costs, and all expenses under the Bankrupt act; second, a'.r debts, taxes and assessments due to the United States; third, all State debts, taxes and assess? ments; fourth, wages due to any operative, clerk or house servant to an amount not cxcccdiug fifty dollars for labor performed within six months pre? ceding tho bankruptcy; fifth, nil debts due to any persons who arc or may be entitled to preference' by the laws of the United States. The voluntary bankrupt is entitled to' his discharge provided no fraud is proved against him, at any time from ^jixty days to one year after adjudication pf bank? ruptcy ; but the proof or discovery of any fraud or concealment deprives him of the right (o discharge. No person who has once received his discharge is j to be entitled ngain to become a voluntary bank-^ rupt, unless his estate is sufficient to pay seveuty per cent, of bis debts, or unless threc-fourlbs of his creditors assent in writing to Iiis bankruptcy.-' Preferences and fraudulent conveyances are de 'clarcd Toid by the net, and suitable provisions are made for the voluntary bankruptcy of partnerships and corporations. The exemptions under the law are as follows The necessary household and kitchen furniture, and such other articles and necessaries of such baukrupt as tbc assignee shall desiguate and sot apart, having reference in the amount to the fami? ly, condition ifcd circumstances of the bankrupt, but altogether not exceed in value, in any case, the sum of $000'; and also the wearing, apparel of such bankrupt, and than of Iiis wife and children, and tho uniform, arms and equipments of any person Who is or has been a soldier in the militia or iu the service of the United States ; and such other prop? erty as now is or h?reafter shall be exempted from attachment or seizure or levy on execution by the lawB of the United States, and such other property, not included in the foregoing exceptions, as is ex? empted from levy and sale upon execution or other process or order of court, by the laws of the State in which the bankrupt has his domicile at the time of the commencement of the proceedings in bank? ruptcy to an amount not exceeding that allowed by such State exemption lawsin force in the year 18(14. Acts of involuntary bankruptcy under the law are classified as follows: Departure or absence from the State where debts are owed, with intunt to defraud the creditors; concealment to avoid Service of process for the recovery of debt; con cealmont of property to avow seizure on legal pro? cess ; assignments designed to delay, defraud or hinder creditors; arrest and detention for seven days, under execution for a debt exceeding one hundred dollars; actual imprisonment for seven days ia a civil action founded on contract for one hundred dollars; assignment, gift, confession of "udgmenti or any other act by which preference is given to any creditor, endorser or surety; dishon? oring commercial paper, or suspending ^ind not resuming payment for fourteen days. The petition for an adjudication of bankruptcy in such cases may come from one or more creditors whose debts reach two hundred and fifty dollars ; but the peti? tion must be brought within six months after the act of bankruptcy has been committed. In invol? untarily bankruptcy the proceedings arc made more stringent than in. the other description of cases. The penalty for any fraud or concealment, direct or indirect, under the act, is imprisonment, with or withoul hard labor, for a term not exceed? ing three years. There are other details in the act, relalirlg to the duties Of the oficers appointed1 aiid authorized Under the law, the amount of fees, &c, Which are ihtercsting only ia a matter of detail.

Jan 17, 18C7 81 South Carolina Lurcau of Immigration, CHARLESTON, Feb. 21, 18(57. THE uh'dersighcd having been appointed Commis? sioner, has been instructed by Iiis Excellency, Governor Orr, to organize the Bureau at the earli? est possible moment. In a few days agents will be appointed by the Governor to proceed to Europe, whose duty it will be to induce immigration to our State, to disscminaff such information as may be furnished them of lands for sale or* lease, and to engage such laborers, mechanics, servants and oth? er hc*lp as may be desired by the inhabitants of the State. An agent for the same object will, per? haps, be sent to New York. It would be desirable that our people furnish this Bureau, without delay, with information iiow 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 lands they have for sale or lca.se, and their terms and conditions. If combinations can bet formed in! the several Districts' of the Sta te for joint action, it would, perhaps, facilitate" mutual operations, and where arrangements can be made to advance part of the passage money erf the la? boring immigrants by accepted orders to that effect on any of the factors of merchants of Charleston, t would no doubt greatly advance the result. If the people that favor this measure would meet at their respective Court Houses to consult, and indicate their wants, this Bureau would take great pleastrre in serving their interest to the b'e?t of its ability. A pamphlet will be printed in" Several ' European languages for distribution, describing the capacities and advantages of our soil, climate, productions, &Cj, in which many particulars, that J arc promptly furnished, may be advertised. The i rocrin's at the disposal of this Bureau being strict? ly limited, the kind assistance of the conductors of our public journals is respectfully requested. JOHN A.
