OOIiUMBIA.
Monday Morning, July 3, 1865.
Lato from Charleston.
We have, tbiough the attention of Mr.
Bruna, copies oi th? Charleston Courier,
of the 26th. and 27th June. The following
order will be read with interest by plant?
ers, who Will take heed accordingly:
HBADQ'RS NORTHRRN DISTRICT. D. S.,
Charleston, B. C., Juno 24, 1865.
general Orders No. 62.
It has come lo the knowledge of ?he
District Commander that, in some of the
contracts made between plan'ers and freed
uer, A clause has been introduced estab?
lishing a system of peonage-the*fi eedman
binding himself to work out any debt he
?nay hereafter incur to his employer. All
?on tracts made under authority from these
headquarters will be'Hinderatood aa merely
temporary arrangements to insure the
cultivation of the ground for the present
season. Any contract made under the
ibove authority, which contains provi?
sions tending to {nonage, will be consid?
ered null. The oiiicers having charge of
contracts will examine them caro full}; and
when they are found to contain such
clause, will notify the planters that new j
contracts mud l^e made, in which the ,
objectionable feature will De omitted. ?
Contracts will be simply worded; whilst {
acknowledging the freedom of the colored !
man, such expressions as "/reed bg the acts I
?f the military forces of the United ?States"
will not be permitted. The attempt to
introduce anything into the contract
which may have the appearance of an in
tetion, at some future dav, to contest the
question of the emancipation of the ne?
groes will be reported to the commander
of the sub district., who will examine into
the antecedents of the person making the
attempt, and report upon the case tu dis?
trict headquai tera. By command of
Brevet Maj. Gen. JOHN P. II ATC II.
LEONARD B. PERRT, Ass't Adj. Gen.
There has been a severe storm on the
soast-a hurricane--but the damage done
is as yet unknown.
Among the citizens arriving in Charles?
ton, we find the names of W. B. Smith,
J. M. Eason, T. D. Eason, R. B. McCreary,
Robert. Adger and David Lopez. t
J. Clamsou's house was robbed by bur?
glars, who attempted to administer chlo?
roform to the lady inmates.
Asher D. Cohen, Esq., has returned to
Charleston and resumed the practice of
law.
Mr. Benjamin Rielabas been married to
Miss M. Kana^aux in Charleston;' and at
the Port Royal Hotel, Mr. Benjamin
Honey to Mrs. Margaret F.'ynn.
Mrs. Ball and Miss McNelty were an?
nounced for a concert on the Suth ult.
Mr. D. Jacobs baa returned to Charles?
ton, and resumed business.
LATER.-We owe to the courtesy of Mr.
W. B Smith a copy of the Charleston
Courier-, of the 80th ult. From this we
gather the following items:
A letter from Orangeburg, written in
rose color, describes matters and things
there refreshingly. Employers and em?
ployees never got on BO well together be?
fore. There are disputes, it is true, but
all things are settled amicably in th? end;
and the prospect of a crop is good. New
buildings are beginning to arise from the
ashes of th? burnt district. Two compa?
nies of the 55lh Massachusetts Volunteer
are stationed at Fort Motte, and Col. Van
Wyck'a Regiment, it is understood, is to
leave Summerville for the same point. The
weather has been hot at Orangeb. rg. the
thermometer at 97 degrees Fahrenheit in
the shade. So the inhabitants judiciously
kept cool.
General Gillmore orders a general sus?
pension of business on the fourth of July.
The day is to be celebrated everywhere*
A national salute will be fired at sunrise:
one hundred guns at noon; the troops will
be paraded; the Declaration of Indepen?
dence and the Emancipation Proclamation
arc to be read to them, and orations are
to be delivered, wherever practicable. The
people are generally invited. Such is the
purport ol Gen. Gillmore's proclamation
The editors of the Courier, in their enthu?
siasm, are disposed to extend the terms of
this proclamation, They say, "In the
morning, every citizen will rise at the
usual hour and partake of his breakfast."
But how, if he has none to partake? and
why should he be required to cat his
breakfast, whence bas no appetite for il?
Agaiu: "In the ftteruooo, the programme
will be varied, and all the people will in?
dulge in sleep." This is surely very arbi?
trary. What good reason can there be
for requiring people to sleep of i. after?
noon, especially on the Fourth of July;
and how to enforce sleep at will? This is
a problem, the solution of which has
bothered many a physician. It will be a
?eer?t to 'esrn. "Pyrotechnie? **ill bs

had enough already." "Well, enough ia as
good as a feast.

WISE ASD WALNUTS.-The Phoenix ac?
knowledges her indebtedness to Mr. Hardy
Solomon f?r a lunch, consisting of some
very fine cheese, of Cheshire aspect, some
,fin? Boston craekeis and a beaker of
golden sherry, such as has not refreshed
her palate over-lrequently during the last
four years. She was reminded of ancient
times, when there were famous wine eel
lars in Carolina The Phoenix" is not an
ungrateful bird, and is pleased to bear tes?
timony to the Samaritanism of Mr. Solo
mon. Verily, editors and printers deserve
well of their fellow-men, and it ia particu.
larly pleasant lo peiceive that there are
men in the world who are not unwilling
to respect their claims to consideration,
lleilly, it must l e a grateful thing to all
right ly const ?tuted tintures lo behold the
satisfaction that they give. What a chann?
ing thing it is when Philanthropy spieads
the feast and Courtesy presides at the
board, and how it must gladden the heart
of the host to perceive the eye glowing
willi -brightness as it sparkles back willi
light kindled by the choice beverages of
Spain and Madeira. IS ay, even those of
j Navarre and the Rhine will make us re
i joice.
MEETING AT LAUUKNS.- We have re.
I ceived the report of the proceedings had
by the citizens of Laurens District, on the
27th ult., with the view to the reconstruc
tion of the United States and the restora?

WHAT OK TUE WEATHER.-Friday night
was a terrible one to ?til those who bsd to
do their sleeping in a garret. One had
helter seek his siesta in a horse pond.
There was no sleep at all. Not a breath
of air. The winds were as much hushed
as if nature had drawn her last breath.
The aspect of the moon, setting behind a
huge line of cordilleras, was that oi
Vesuvius in full blast. Bituminous black?
ness blended with sulphurous flames,
gathering all about her brows. Her as?
pect was ominous of storm. Yet we had
none. There was an occasional flash ol
lightping, a roll of thunder, a sprinkle ol
rain, abd the great earth was suffered tc
collapse pgain, buried in stagnating va
pors. We rise on Saturday, after a sh*p
less night, to dream of s.eep, and doubt i:
we shad ever again be permitted to enjoy
that blessedest of all mortal inventions
"Great nature's sweet restorer, balm}
sleep." Tho di'y is cooler at opening, bu1
grows sultrier as we write. We need i
cooling.Series of atmospheric convulsions
Now that cannon have ceased, the thui.de
may be permitted to roar again. Nov
that walled cit ies are no longer shelled, w>
trust that they may be showered and evei
stormed upon. A thunderstorm is neces
eary to relieve this densely packed atmos
phere, which chokes us while we swallow
Ohl for Norwegian breezes; for a fleet o
icebergs to roll around upon our Atlast:
waters and blockade the ports anew" \V
cannot counsel our readers to keep cool
Let them first try to get so. At all event
keep out 4>f the sun. Keep in the simd?
and either work with all Hie energy poe
sible. or drowse in a wet sheet, under th
cover of a snow tree-if that be discovei
able "outside of thc realm of the Brines i
thc Black Islands.

upon the number and variety ol' our mei
camile and trading establishments. W
huve now to remark upon their continue
increase. Siocks are enlarging. Ne'
sho,is are opening Old house? are unde

houses are growing bigger. Ther? ai
bigger halls for the reception of good
bigger Soors for t ho reception of custon
ers. An eager competition is in progres
Zealy, Scott, Bruns, Solomons. Cohe
Foote <fc Co., and scores besides, are dail
receiving new supplies. The one is not
be out-done by the other. When Zea,
sends off for a wagon train, Cohen do
likewise. Zealy takes Cohen's phot
graph; Cohen takes the alarm. Tl
lawyer-doctor is not to be overcome b
the artist.. The artist will yield to nw
of the clerical professors. They strogg
and strive together, while the citizen loo
on and chuckles. He naturally calcul?t
that, from the suarp competition, his goo
will uudetgo daily cheapening. Mea
wjiilo, Mayor Gibbes goes to Wushingt
-he goes North-nay, he is not or
going, he ?3 gone. He seeks reconstri
tion in belialf of Columbia. Ile is on
poblic mission of the citizens. He seek:
stock of fresh goods for himself-set

redeem the city issues in greenbacks
gold rings. And, by the wa}', it is . ur
! a very great biuuder of the citizens
I fight shy of an issue which, all tc
smouat? to *Dly six hundred dollars, wh
the whole property of the city is required i
to redeem. "4'he truth is, Ibis city issue is
really oe as sound a basis ns any other. Not
that we hold that any basis is necessary
for a currency beyond the "mv?Jante'' ol'
the people. To resume. Our streets are
now daily filled witli*warr?ns. Lines are
established to ail the railroad Urn'tini.
There is Courtenay's line to Newberry;
Graham's, Yates' and others to Orange
burg; Sosco wski to Chester, and others to
Aiken, Cowes and u market. And these
wagons bring'in ewpplios daily. Yery
8oou wo shall have new flour and the
usual farmer supplies of grain, butter,
poultry, Ac. Sume of these we are having
iiuw ui.d in great quantity. The butchers,
by the way, are doing the best business in
town, beef and th? smaller meals are
from ten .to twelve cents. They gather up
the gold, the silver and, the greenbacks
Yi'U see them from 5 lo 10 a. m., with their
hands grasping and their HI pis borne
down by the Weighty accumulations of
gold.silveraud paper, and in their patriotic
self sacrifice, they call upon no luau tu re?
lieve them from their surplus burdetts.
Tiley .are wise fellows in their day and
generation. While the sluggards shep,
they are stirring. They give the sun the
left shoulder. They beat him on the
market pince. They say to the politicians,
a plague oa both your houses; and keep in
memory the counsel of Iago to Cans?o,
'Put money in thy purse!"
