Friday Morning, September 8,1865
How it W ork?.
We frequently see in the Northern
papers the most glowing accounts of
the success of the experiments in freed
labor among the plantations along the
coast-of South Carolina especially.
Such- wondrous results in Sea Island
cotton, such beautiful prospects in
rice, potatoes, and, indeed, every pro?
duct hitherto produced .so successfully
in this region, arc thus reported, that
it should not be wondered at if tho
Northern AboUtionisls practice all
sorts of uncouth antics in the sudden
glory of stich surprising results. Our
own account??-nearer home, and from
eyes which see for themselves and not
through a glass darkly-are of en?
tirely different complexion; and we
only wonder that these reports are so
un frequently . allowed to appear in
print. Wo aro reminded, while wo
write, of an elaborate report on this
subject, made by Mr. Joseph Daniel
Pope, who, under tho auspices of
General Gillmore, made a tour through
certain of these favored parishes, in?
cluding some of the islands, which
we should very much like to see
spread fairly before our own and the
Northern public. Mr. Pope's report
is moderate in tone, entirely free from
prejudice, circumspect, considerate
and unique in its consideration of the
simple topics embraced i:. the subject.
Mr. Pope is particularly qualified for
making such a survey of the planta?
tions, and for reporting upon them.
Himself a native and planter of the
region in question, famfliar wjth all
the estates; with every peculiarity in
their culture; knowing well the sus?
ceptibilities of the lands, and per?
fectly acquainted with their capacity
for production, by a full knowledge
of what, under the former cultivation,
they were wont to produce ; no person
could be found better fitted for such
an examination of their present con?
dition, as will enable friend and foe
equally to decide upon the results
and value of the experiment. He has
imule a. report, and one singularly
fair and indulgent towards the negro.
His manner is eminently judicial, and
we do not hesitate to assert the con?
viction that his details of facts cannot
be gainsaid. His* evidence will be
held conclusive by all who know his
ability, his familiarity with the local
statistics, his freedofh from all rash
expression, and his superiority to all
vulgar prejudice. We trust that his
report will be given to the public, es?
pecially of the North, with the hopi
that it will tend somewhat to spibclm
I that exulting spirit which finds it;
I facts in its fancy, and fortifies its phi
"losophy wholly by the assertion of i
prophetical faculty, which equalh
pspts reason to the blush, and the law.'
of God at defiance.
War Mortality.
We are enabled, through the kind
ness of Mr. John B. Miot, to afford ti
the friends and relatives of the Soutl
Carolinians who perished at Poin
Lookout, Maryland, a record of ni
the*easnalties among the sons of ou
State occurring at that place of im
prisonment. We make no comments
Tlie record is a long and melanchol;
one. It will l>e a satisfaction to th
relatives of the deceased to know tha
their kinsmen died in the service o
the State, in what they deemed th
. paths of duty. The State, when thi
is possible, should remember, an
make due record of, their pubUc sei
vices.

THE SOUTHERN BAPTIST THEOLOGI?
CAL SEMINARY.-We are glad to* learn
that this institution will be opened for
students of Theology, pn the first of
November next. It was located at
Greenville, S. C., sowie years before
the war, and had reached a prosperous
state when forced to suspend on ac?
count of the conscription. It will bo
opened with its former corps of in?
structors, all present. We learn that
information has already been received
of some students who will attend.

A NEGRO "3>>WN WITH NEGRO
OFFICERS.-Mitchellville, it must be
remembered, is the negro village on
Hilton Head Island, regularly organ
ized with negro officers, and enjoying
its Councilmen and Supervisor, whom
their constituents -insist" on styling
Aldermen and Mayor. The "alder?
men" settle disputes concerning
claims for personal property. Before
one of them hame a disconsolate ne?
gress. Her hen had been stolen, and
Gawky Sam was the boy who did it.
The .hoy was summoned, the evidence
heard, the case clearly made out, and
two dollars fine imposed. But here
stepped in another Alderman, who
added another dollar to the fine. Be- !
fore the money was paid, still another
managed to get the case before him,
and imposed a fine of five dollars.
By this time the Supervisor
("Mayor") heard the story, and sunv
moning all the parties, inquired: !
"Uncle Ben, why did you fine de
boy two dollars?"
"Weil, sah, de ease was ciar; de hen
was a mi ty fine, fat un, and I reckon
she-worf about a dollar. Den, sir,
nobody oughtub be lowed to steal for
less dan a dollah no how. #So I made
him pay de wuf of do hen to de
owner, and a dollah for stealin' be?
side."
"Well, 'Cl'erklis, (Anglico Uncle
Hercules,) why did von make de fine
tree dollah?"
"Well, de hen war wuf a dollah
easy. De*n de boy ought to pay a dol?
lah for stealin* anydow. But den,
sah, dut hen war a layin' eggs, and if
dat Gawky Sam hadn't done stole her,
do eggs she'd a laid 'ud a been wuf
'tleast 'nuther dollah by dis time!"
Ludicrous as was the solemnity of
these proceedings, they were, never?
theless, of value, as showing inherent
ideas of justice.

ASSYRIAN INSCRIPTIONS.-Hie deci?
pherment of Assyrian cuneiform writ?
ings has for years past been a pursuit
of intense interest on the part of the
learned. As an instance of the accu?
racy of decipherment, the following
may be mentioned: Copies of the
great cylinder inscription of Tiglath
P?eser L extending to nearly 1,000
Unes of cuneiform writing, were sub?
mitted to four Assyrian scholars-to
Sir Henry Rawlinson, in London; to
Dr. Hincks, in Leland; to M. Oppert,
in Paris; and to Mr. Fox Talbot, of
Lacock Ablfry ; and they were invited
\o send independent translations
under seal, on a certain day, to be
examined \*y a committee composed
of tho first scholars in England,.name?
ly, Dean Milman, Mr. Grote, the his?
torian. Professor Wilson, Dr. Cureton
and Sir Gardner Wilkinson. The
translations were thus sent in to the
committee, and' on being compared
were found to coincide, not, indeed,
word by word, but in all essentials of
distribution of subject, reading of
names and general signification, tho
verdict recorded by the committee,
being decisive as to the competency
of the gentlemen engaged to read and
translate the language.-Sir H. Raw?
linson in (he Building Nows.
FASHIONABLE SOCIETY.-Opposite
me, in the ball-room to-night, sits* a
stout woman, in a wide-striped silk
dress. She is tho wife of a legal nota?
bility, and was, when young, a circus
rider of great repute, renowned chiefly
for leaping unaided upon a running
horse in the ring. Another fine look?
ing couple graduated from Fulton
Musket-the- husband still sells bi
vidves in that famed locality.

GENERAL LEE.-A London paper
says that Gen. Lee is in . Germany.'
A Liverpool paper, on the contrary,
says he hus just arrived in Wales, and
is now building a nine-pin alley to be
run in connection with a first-class
restaurant. The same paper saya

Local Items.
To insure insertion, advertisers aro1 re?
quested to hand in tlieir notices before *
o'clock p. m.
Our "Local" bas found bin way to a new
establishment-that of W. J. Cormier, who
has opened with a variety stock in Bull, ono
door from Camden street, nt rt convenient
station for our citizens in the Eastern por?
tion of the town. Mr. Cormier lias, a pro?
mising supply. Wc have had thc satisfac?
tion of sampling some of Ids commodities,
and he has enabled ns to answer the lone;
vexing question, "Have we a Bourbon
among us?" That ia, a genuine Bourbon?'
We have no doubt of it. The sample given
us by Mr. Cormier is that of u crown prince
-a prince of the blood.
THE CONVENTION.-As the proceedings of
the Convention may be expected to be of
absorbing interest to all persons in tho
State, and as the Phftnix wiU make daily
reports of its progress and the results from
it, besides publishing in full Cue new Con?
stitution thc moment it shall be ratified, it
will be well that persons desiring to sub?
scribe should do so in due season. In the
present scarcity and cost of printing paper,
publishers cannot venture to print upon a
mero speculative or possible domand. Wo
shall publish but a few moro copies than
will suffic- Ufr our customers, and unless
they come forward promptly, they may find
themselves too late for the supply.

Interesting DIxcc?v*V>-.
P4BIS, August!.-A few ?lays since;,
a very interesting discovery was made
in the Place du Carousel A wing of
the old Palace of the Louvre has
I lately been torn down for the pnrpctao
. of rebuilding it in harmony^ with tho
j newer parts of the palace. In making
excavations for tho new foundations,
: a number of moulds* for pottery and
! an ancient furnace were laid bare by
] the workmen. The superintendent
sent at once for the architect, who, in
his turn, addressed himself ti? a dis?
tinguished savant. M. Bertz, for in?
formation with regard to this treasxire
trove. M. Bertz has devoted many
years to the study of archaeological re?
mains of Paris, and recognized in the
furnace and earthenware fragments
the work of the celebrated Bernard do
Palissy, to whom the revival of tho
enameling-} of pottery in France is
due. It appears, in 1500, that Cathe?
rine de Medicis employed Palissy to
ornament a grotto in the garden of tho
Tuilleries with the most grotesque
specimens of his art that he could
produce, a description of which is
preserved in the imperial library.
Among the figures was a sea monster,
composed entirely of shells and ma?
rine plants. The mould of this has
been found almost entire, and corres?
ponding in all particulars with tho
description in the contract written by
order of the Queen. The walls of th?)
furnace are immensely thick. Tho
grotto itself is still supposed to exist
in the Tuilleries garden, and permis?
sion to search fer it has been asked.
Bernard de Palissy reduced himself to
extreme poverty in his enthusiastic
search after the lost process of ena?
meling. A picture at Sevves Teprc
sents him cutting Iiis furniture to
pieces to make fire-wood for his pre?
cious pots and dishes. He is called
Palissy, the potter; but was, -in fact,
a man of great learning, having de?
livered lectures, in Paris, on tho
monuments of antiquity-"on earth,
stones and metals"-*-at the age o
seventy-five years. Although em
ployed by Catherine de Medicis, h
was a Protestant, and was at last ir
{)risoned in the Bastile, (1589,) wher
ie died in his ninetieth year. A mom
j ment was erected to him a few mont"
i ago in his native town of Agenois.
! dealer in old furniture (marchand <
j bric-a-brac) has just had the luck_
j find in an old cabinet of Louis.
! time, seven letters written by Cardin
j Richelieu, ten of which ara addressee*
I to the celebrated courtesan, Mario
1 D?lorme. These letters were hidde
away in a secret drawer of the cab
net, and were only discovered by ace
dent; they will bring a great pnce,
their authenticity is unimpeachable.
