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.

foot" in New York. She hes many fini

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

his existence there. I fwi't say anything

Wednesday last show td quite a caravan

fires, burning as brightly as in better
days. We note that small lots of cotton
are reaching the city, bought, we are told,
at prices'ranging, according to quality, at
from 12* to 20 cents. '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

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.

Passage between lewberry and
Columbia.
MR. LASSALLE, the Superintendent of
the Greenville and Columbia Rail?
road, now runs a special train to Alston,
in close connection with the down train
from Greenville, on Tuesdays, Thursdays
and Saturdays. 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. Baggage is necessarily limited to
one light trunk, as heavj and cumbersome
packages interfere wit!) ?the comfort of
passengers and prevent that d espale h
which it-is desired shnuld characterize
this line.
When families or parties of six or eight
wish to avail theraselvel of this convey?
ance, engagements for the trip will be
made on moderate termsj
From Columbia, Dr. J RUSSELL BA?
KER will despatch passengers to Orange
burg or to Kingsville, at which point
travellers take the car?., via.Florence, to
Charleston.
In this connection, we would mention
that our up country friei.ds have, by this
line, an opportunity of forwarding letters
to Columbia and beyond, without other
expense than will be imposed by thc
United States Post Orrie* regulation*. The
mail-bag will be at Mr. (?LEMX'S office,
Newberry Depot
It is needless to -say that passengers
from Columbia connect with the up-train
from Alston, and letters left witt the
a??nt in Columbia, Dr. J. RUSiELL
BAKER, will be promptly despatched.
