They aro quite popular with readers, and editors have ? oun l it out. -President Johnson, it is understood, in? tends retiring all armyofficsis over sixty-two years of age, among whom ..xe Adjutant-Gone xal Lorenzo Thomas, Paymaster General Brice ?nd Lrigadier-General Philip S'. George Cooke. -A Washington correspondent of one of tbe "Sew York papers disposes of the generalship question as follows : "Ibo office of general, especially elated for General Grant, is to bo ~" abolished th.s session of Congress, to tako ef -tan1- tiTF 4th ..if Tille will leave "?eneral Sherman in command of the rtrmv. .with tho rank of lieutonant-general." -rho St. Louis City Council has been peti? tioned to prinl and circu?alo a document set? ting forth thc advanlatres of that city as a na? tional capital. St. Louis is fourteen hundred carnies from New York, thirteen hundred miles Tro m New Orleans, two thousand miles from San Francisco, and about seven hundred miles ? rom the Northern border. -A writer m the Richmond Whig and Dis? patch, who is said ta be ''one of the moat dis? tinguished statesmen in tbe Valley of Vir? gula," after Botting forth "the difficulties of | .onr *?txiatk>tiJof the impossibility of avoiding ueg.o sriifrago, and of the possibility of es? caping other and worse evils," advises the . people of Virginia to agree upon the platform . ''universal amnesty and universal suffrage,'' ?xnd, frtming a constitution upon this basis, to ?ak at the ha nds of Congress its substitution fT -or the "obnoxious instrument" proposed hy? the late convention. -Tho fact that vender? of quack medicines atnd newsdealers have taken to forging the - names of senators and members of Congress, and use their names to swindle th) Postofficc !>e?artn>nt out of thousands of dollars, calls S or thc imm3uiato action of Congress. TLc-ro 5 ?s but one way to remedy this growing evil, xnd that is to repeal tho law and appropriate a 7i iberal allowance to souatora and members of | Congress for postage Tho porsons using them should not only be exposed, but brought to justice. Tho Pos.of?co Department could readily find evidence to convict tue parties en? gaged in this systematic swindle. -The Cuban insurgents hold out well. It is ?aow about throo months since, with only five ?huudred mon, they raised thc standard of re? volt. Though all tho Spanish tre->ps in tho island, and all the volunteers that could bc or? ganized are sent against them, tuey appear to be stronger and moro determined than ever. They have now in the field at ?east fifteen thou saud men, tolerably armed and p??7?uo?, who ?ave.had experience of campaigning'and of bat? tle, and do not hesitate to cope with tho vete? rans of Spain. Not only is the wholo eastern portion of thc island in their hands, but they are gradually advancing westward, and evon fill Havana with alarm. -It appears that tho ordinary and thc ex? traordinary abuses of tho franking privilege ?re not enough. Members hav3 not only beon franking everything indiscriminately them? selves, and having a fac-sinii;e stamp of their autograph made, that every mechanical facili? ty naigLv be employed !or increasing thc post office deficiency, but, these devices not having made ironks cheap enough, couutcrfeit stamps'! bave boen prepared in Nov.- York. Senator Jfforgan's frank has thus been counterfeited to an alarming extent, and likewise that of | Bepresentative Lincoln. Is there any better -escape from this fraud than in abolishing the .'?hole system. . -The Washington Evening Express vouchos for tho credibility of a gentleman who says, in its columns, that when Judge Campbell, of South Carolina, was in Washington attempting to arrange terms for tho senar.Uion of his State from the Union, President Lincoln pre? pared a proclamation giving his assent. The ?riter says that shortly after tho breaking off .of the effort to avert tho dire cafastrophe of vrar, a gentleman having freo access to tho private office at President Lincoln repaired to the capital of South Carolina and deposited with a high official of that Stale a manuscript proclamation of President Lincoln, duly pre? pared and ready for his signature, announcing to the American people that, rather than plunge the country into a civil war, the Exec? utive Government of the United States ac? quiesced in the dismemberment of the Union. "With this was a column editorial arliolc, in ?atip form, with corrections supposed to be Mr. fancoln's, reciting freely the words of the Excc ^^^act, and challenging for it the approval ^-.r.^?^J?"0111?60?10- Tbat tao document s? ras not pw , ? , ... <Uied waa due to the intense fee ing evolved by the firing on the Star of Wost. -It becomes quite a question how far employment of colored troops in the ai "pays," as a matter of economy. The i geon-Genoral's report shows that for the year, among white soldiers, the proportio deaths to cases treated was as 1 to 97; am tho colored soldiers, as 1 to 55; and tho proportion of sick to well was quito as marl Two year* ago the ratio of deaths ann white troops to ihat of cases treated was a to 52; while among colored troops it was a to 29. General Fry once showed that of 180,000 colored troops in service during war, 26,211 died or disease-a rate of 1 to 7, elusive of deaths from wounds. On the ot hand, of the 2,500,000 white troops, only li 120 died of disease-a rate of about 1 to Thus the power of resisting disease in colored soldier was only one-half that ol' white. Now, comparing theso with the figu for 1866 and 18G8, we shall see just about same ratio preserved. These estimates elude both ordinary and extraordinary servi in peace and in war. The very important pi Bical and medical fact is thus demonstra that colored men cannot so well endure fatigues and exposures of military service white. CHARLESTON. FRIDAY MOBNLNG, JANUARY 1, 1869. The Xe tv s and thc Sew Tear. "When THE NEWS, fifteen months aj passed into the hands of its present pi prietor9, we determined to make it, if mon and work could do so, the cheapest and b< newspaper ever published in South Car lina. To accomplish this result we ha labored with unflagging energy and zei and in the steady increase of our advert? ing and subscription we discern a marki evidence that the public appreciate our c: t?rprise and mean to give,it their suppoi We begin the New Year with a larger total ci dilation than that of any other paper in tl Southeastern States, with about double tl circulation in Charleston of any other new; paper; and with an advertising businei second to none. These facts, while thc encourage us to renewed efforts to mak THE NEWS still more attractive in the fi ture, will enable us to largely extend th sphere of its usefulness as a live, go-ahen and independent Southern newspaper. ThisJs our business position. One wor now as to our general policy. We believe that the time is past, if ther ever was such a time, when either men o newspapers might live by politics alon? TUE NEWS in the past has eschewed ?seles political disquisitions, and will never be in the future, a political or party journal Bouud to the fortunes of no tf?P.o wran?, nw rt ".?t cu? ana'ckles woin b; cringing suitors for public or private "pat "ronage," owing blind allegiance to no class bul rt^ognizing honesty and merit wherevei we nnd them, we shall strive to make thii newspaper the bold and outspoken chum pion of the rights and interests of tut whole people of South Carolina. During the coming y ear TUE NEWS will givt especial attention to all subjects connected with the commercial, manufacturing and agricultural interests of the Slate. The mill-ow.icr and operative will find in itt columns thc information they need as tc the manufacturing and mechanical position of thc State, the condition of our mills and factories, and their profits and system ol management, as well as timely hints con? cerning the best sites for the establishment of new industrial enterprises. The farmer ar.d planter will find iu TUE NEWS all the new processes which moy bc dircovered-from tim*,' to time, in relation tn general farming, thc order t f crops, the introductiou of new varieties of seed, and the most advantageous use of fertilizers. And while this attention is paid to agri? culture and mauufdc?ure?, wo pledge cur selves that TUE NEWS shall be excelled by no journal in the South in the promptitude and accuracy of ils commercial and financial reports, in the fullness of its telegraphic intelligence, and in thc variety and fresh? ness of its general news department. In the family circle T1 E NEWS ?hould be always welcome; for in addition to thc reg? ular and entertaining le'.lcis of our fashion correspondents and thc piquant character of our miscellaneous readicg, we would say that it is our steadfast purpose to continue to exclude carefully from our columns every phrase which might bo objectionable to any sister or wife in our community. Withal we do not undertake to reproduce a New York daily in Charleston. We shall preseni to our readers in compact and con? venient form the latest anJ most interesting intelligence from all quarters of tho globe; but THE NEWS will be pre-eminently aloca! newspaper. Not local in the sense of labor? ing for the exclusive advancement of any city or county; but local in that it will rep? resent the State-the whole State-and direct its chiefest solicitude to the diffusion of State news, to obtaining and publishing all information which bears upon li:e pros? pects of curr people, and to thc untiring ad? vocacy of every measure which will im? prove the condition and develops the bound I less wealth of South Carolina. To build I up our State is the great object of our lives. We believe that wc havo already doue some good in instilling a cheery spirit into the hearts of the people, and we are content to find our own reward-be it early or late in the co-ordinate and enduring prosperity v.hich must follow TUE NEWS as the apostle of the creed of progress, and the one news? paper which never lost faith in the future of the people and the State. Thc Peace ot the State. South Carolina, the so-called "cradle of "the rebellion," is, on this Now Year's day, 18G9, the most peaceful and secure of all the Southern States. We hare a colored population of four hundred thousaud and a white population of two hundred and seventy-five thousand or less; but order and quiet reign within our borders, and no such thing as widespread riot or tumult has been known in this State. It is not that we have been free from the exciting causes of trouble and disaffection. Political fire? brands and itinerant thieves have been as plenteous here as in any other part of the South; lut white men end colored men labor soberly side by side, and the business of the whole State is in a healthy and thriving condition. The reasons of this are not difficult to be understood. In this State brute violence and rowdyism have always met with public reprobation. Street fighting and bruising have ever been condemned, and the beha? vior of the people has always been marked by reserve an<J self respect. These quali? ties stood them in good stead when the war was over. They were not willing to mouth or rant because .they had been defeated, nor were they desirous of wreaking puny vengeance upon those to whom they had given a life time of benevolence and care. The honor which sade them just in their dealings with one another made them just in their dealings nita the freedman, and these latter soon became conscious-and the feeling grows each day in strength that no South Carolinian would endeavor to defraud or oppress them. The fair deal? ing between the white race and the colored race made bad blood well-nigh impossible, aud thc freedmen, if they were not disposed to trust their old masters without reserve, were, at least, prevented from cherish? ing bitter and angry thoughts. And the calmness and conservatism which this pro? duced was increased in force by the pres? ence of a number of intelligent and trust? worthy Northern men, who settled in the midst of us and made this State their home. Bat jt would be unjust at this joint to fail to speak of thc generally discreet, and orderly behavior of the colored people of the Stale. They have not been without fault, nor have they been wholly free from Warne. More th.au once, and in moro than one place, they have shown au astonishing capacity for idleness, unthrift and violence of speech and act. But taking them all in all,-making allowances for their changed condition, the oliaractcr of their compan? ions, and thc use that has attempted to be made of them-we ?lo not fear to assert that thc freedmen of this State have been, on tbe whule, well-behaved, and that, in their general conduct nud increasing willingness to work diligently and well, they have shown a bright example to the freedmen of thcSoutu._?-~ ?= The circumstances which wc have rpiled account, to our mind, for the difference bo tween tbis Slate nod thc other Slates of thc South. We have no bloody riots; no am? buscade*; no threatening of a war of races; no long lists of white men killed by negroes, as in Georgia; no deep seated disaffection and distrust, as in Alabama; no contend? ing Legislatures and rival Governors, as. in Florida; no apprehension of a conflict in thc streets of thc capital und a certainty of a collision between ho> I ile purtios in tho coun? try districts, as in Louisiana; no murder? ing, plundering "loyal militia," as in Ar? kansas; no long rolls of assassination and lynching, as in Texas; no euch timidity and uncertainty as may be found in any other of the len Southern SlrjlfS We say this iu no spirit of exultation We grieve that there should be riot or mob law in any part of this Southern land. But we do re? joice that on this, the New Year's L)ay, v. e have, iu South Carolina, LAW, and ORDKK, and PEACE, and that we have, on every side, thc omens of a bright and happy future. THE IMPRESSION prevails veiy generally that the last day for filing p?titions for bankruptcy, without subjecting thc appli? cant to the operation of the fifty per cent clause, was yesterday, ihc cl ?sing day of thc year. This ?3 an error. This day, tbe first of January, IS?9, is the limit fixed by the Act of Congress, approved July 27, IS?S, within which bankiup'.s may cbtuih relief irrespective of the value of their a-.sets.
