Saturday Morning, joly 15, 1865. What for Judgment? There are few persons properly able to know or say what a ?ne and unwonted prospect demands of the beholder. No? thing is more gradual in growth than the capacity for judging of the fresh and un? familiar, ho sees all the charms of land? scape or picture, where either ka* .ny* thing in it, at a first glance of the eye? If you can see all ?t onc<\ such landscape, such picture, is of little merit. It has no attraction for you in reserve. It cannot grow upon you, and there is nothing latent which the philosophical or contem plative eye will be able to discern in it hereafter. The first glance suffices, and you need not take the picture home with you, nor wander again in search of the landscape. It is? different with fine pic? tures or fine landscapes. Dealing with a good pioture, or a fine study, you must give yoaraelf time. You must wait until your own mindrie ^elopes In the Discovery ef what is latent in the picture. Thent and not till then, will your standards grow, giving you the capacity for judg? ment. You must wait for this, and watch. Give yourself time for exploration, and wait patiently as a little child, believing that you know nothing, but wishing very much to know everything. As long as you talk perpetually, it is certain that you never hear. Be quiet for a season; Only suppose that God has not given to the poor painter his faculty in vain. And in your prayers that night, implore of God that he shajl quwken for you that sense, or faculty, which Irks been BO long perishing within you from non-user. Rates of Negro Labor. Gen. Howard, we are told, has disap? proved of the order of Capt. Bryant, who undertook, in Georgia, to regulate the ?rages of negroes. Gen. Howard is very good; but really, when we published-as we did-the orders of Capt. Bryant, we never supposed the man to be serious. We took for granted that it was one of those stupendous official jests which make no man laugh-which make men grin and which are designed to effect the con? cussion of a heavy cannon which is ehargcd with powder only. If Capt Bryant was really serious in his order, what must his jests be? Such terms as he prescribed would inundate the country with white laborers from all the provinces and Srates of Europe, from Massachusetts and other Islands of the Blessed, from Nova Scotia, the World's End, and Little Bug a-boo! Sport to the laborers, it would be death to the proprietors. A man's land would then be his ruin, and in degree with the num? ber of his acres would be the decline of his resources. In proportion to the num? ber of his former slaves Would be -his destruction at the hands of his freed em? ployees. The negro would snap his fingers at care, who would take up her seat on both corners of the proprietor's chimney, and peel his potatoes for him, giving him all the peel, while his darkiea went off with the fruit. . Execution of the Assassins. We have advices of the execution, at Washington, on the 7th instant, of Mrs. Mary E. Surratt, Lew;s Thornton, (other? wise Payne,) David E. Harold and George A. Abzerodt, condemned, by a military court, for the murder of Abraham Lincoln. They are all described as dying penitent. Mrs. Surratt made a confession; she died firmly and quickly, without any struggle. Payne died* a horrible death, the knot having slipped from behind his ear to the hack of his-neck, so that the suffocation was a slow process, and the neck remained unbroken. Harold suffered also, and it is said his neck was unbroken. Abzerodt died easily. The execution seems to have been a very bungling and cruel perform? ance. Arnold, Dr. Mudd and McLaughlin are tobe imprisoned for life. Spangler is to be confined in the Albany Penitentiary for six years'. . THE GOVERNOR.-We learn that Gov. Perry has gone on to Washington, via Newberry and Chester, we presume to receive detailed instructions as regards his office.. A few days will bring him back, and we doubt not that he will then proceed to his labors in Columbia. Moggie Mitchell is playing "Little Bare? foot" in New York. She hes many fini tato rs-in the streets. GROWTH AND PROGRESS OF. THE PIJONIX. We are preparing for expansion. Our limits are cabinned, crib! ed, confined. The demand upon our columns enlarges daily, and we need to enlarge with it. We ex? pect pjfcw supplies of printing material this week, and next week, should this material arrive, the Pheonix will take he?* flight on a broader wing. The mails are now be? ginning to be carried with great regulari? ty, the routes are opening to nearly all the divergent points, and, with very little delay, the Phonix can now be made to reaeb every District in the State. Our country friends, accordingly, will do well to secure themselves, by prompt subscrip? tions, the benefits and blessings of the only daily paper- in the State, the Charles ton Courier excepted. HABEAS Co?rus.-??en. Hancock, having the custody of Mrs. Surrntt, was served with a writ of habeas corpus from the Su? preme Court, requiring him to produce the body -of Mrs. Surratt at a certain hour. He took no notice of the writ. The court decided that it? powers were absorbed by the rsh?Rhry, and could do nothing. There is no law but that of the sword. Subse? quently, Gen. Hancock made a return to the court, and showed that he was acting under special orders of President Johnsen -that, in brief, the President had sus? pended the writ of habeas corpus for the occasion Columbia Prices Current.

The people would not tolerate his existence there. I fwi't say anything against so poor and mean n man as this and I can't say anything for him; I there? fore say nothing." The captain of a Norwegian vessel, going into the harbor of Limerick recent? ly, was compelled to remove his figure? head, a bust of Garibaldi, lest he should excite the evil passions of the mob.

'The town is quite animated, and if the loafers would only find some wheels to p?ttheir shoulders to, we,might hope .for ume abler god even than Hercules lo helpJuLout ?f the slough. REV. Du. PALMER.-Ibis eminent divine, probably one of the very ablest of all the Presbyterian, preached in the United States, has left us, for his more extensive empire in New Orleans- We are sorry to lose him. Born of and identified with our people, he has obtained a firm lodg? ment in their confidence, and affections. Copious of speech, with a vigorous under? standing and a lively laney, he won the ears of his audience, ?nd satisfied their understandings. We^ believe that Dr. Palmer was earnest in nis work; that bis heart-was thoroughly iwit. and preaching frotfti the heart., he nat.uaally made his way to thc heart. Hfs C<lr<Aia%udiences have Ust much in his depanure, but those of New Orleans will gain' ?lore. That city will give him an ample, ?field-herc he bad none. We wish him sGfcess, as man and preacher, wherever he |poes. MARRIED, In Columbia, on Wednesday morning, July 12, at the residence of Mr. E. T. Bur? dell, by the Rev. RoKcrt Wilson, Mr. CHAS. H.

From Alston, passengers are transported to Columbia in Messrs. Courtenay <fc Olney's light spring wagon, which is fHted up 'exprelsly for the cora: fort of the travelling pujdic. This convey ance offers special inducements to families, as it is roomy and cool Parties on the move should make engagements with Mr. J. F. 'GLENN, Agent, ijt the Newberry Depot.
