COLUMBIA. Wednesday Morning, May 8, 1867. Action In Needed. Tho New York Times lins nu article which has attracted our attention, ns one thnt is full of meuuing, and that ought to receive tho grave considera? tion of the Southern people, in the peculiar condition in which they are now placed. We will endeavor to condense thoso views of tho Times, which strongly suggest to our mind that it is tho duty of our people to be vigilant and active in tho approach? ing rc-organization of their State Government. The nrticlo to which wo refer is elicited by tho proceedings of a meet? ing held in North Carolina, which adopted resolutions in favor of con? fiscation. Tho Times, although a representativo of tho Republican party, says that it ?grecs with its leading party co temporaries, which have declared, with very great una? nimity, that confiscation forms no part of tho party platform, and which repudiate iu energetic terms tho per? sistent attempt of Mr. Stevens, Gen. Butler and other nihilists to forco it upon tho party. So far as Congress is concerned, and tho majority of tho Republicans in that body, thero is little to appre? hend from that quarter, if tho people of tho Southern States reconstruct promptly nuder the recent lawe of Congress. But the dauger lies herc; and it is to this point tho Times more particularly refers-that a confisca? tion movement in tho South, as indi? cated by the meeting alluded to above, may become formidable. The Times Bays-and we have abundant evidence of tho fact in their sending party missionaries among us-that tho ul trais ts of tho Republican party aro determined to build up a party in the South fully in accord with themselves. Their plan is to consolidate thc negro voto, which, with tho help of the profaning "original Union men" of tho South, they think will bo suffi? cient to over-bear the great body of the whites who aro not disfranchised. It is upon this that they rely for success. Tho Times says that, if they can get tho whole negro vote, keeping it com? pact, manageable, and wholly subject to their control, they feel confident that tho Southern States will becomo moro radical than tho Northern. This is tho belief of a moderate Republican journal, aud the South? ern missionary tours of sundry Se? nators and Congressmen of the party confirm it. The same paper states that this faction relics upon confisca? tion to secure the results in view, and adds tlie following paragraph, which should be hooded by the Southern people: "A promise of a homestead, to bo taken from tho whites and given gra? tuitously to every colored voter, will be u most formidable weapon for the accomplishment of their object. It is precisely the kind of argument likely to provo most potent with the class of voters whom they address. They aro all landless, and can scarcely be oxpected to remain blind to such glittering expectations. And wo may rely upon it, tho schemo will bo pressed with desperate and remorse? less audacity. Tho men engaged in it are not men easily daunted by fear of consequencos, still less by scruples as to the character of tho means em? ployed. Neither Mr. Stevens nor Gen. Butler is likely to halt in the execution of such a schemo from tho four that it may Jead to a war of races or plunge tho South into hopeless and remidless ruin. The character and temper of thc men to go South ns their agents and missionaries Senator Nye, Judgo Kelly and Gen. Logan, for example-is by no menus re-assuring." It is particularly to bring this warning before our people that wo refer at this time to tho articlo of our New York cotemporary. That jour? nal thinks, however, that there aro two grounds of reliance against the success of such a scheme, and they nre, briefly, that such a basis of action by any party would unite the whole vote of the South against it; this, tho Times thinks, would produce a re? action at tho North, where tho peo? ple are opposed lo it, us would work tho overthrow of tho party adopting it as its policy. This might or might nollie; but tho articlo nuder notico ought par? ticularly to rou.so tho people of our Hcotion from any apathy or indiffer? ence they might bo disposed bo in? dulge in. Especially in this ttbito uhonld tho old voters use their liest endeavors, and persistently seek to effect a perfect union with the newly enfranchised class. They aro now nil, in every respect, citizons of the samo commonwealth, and all should uuito in promoting her best interests, by opposing evil machinations, either at homo or coming from abroad. It ie no timo 'for indifference now, and least of all is it any time for inaction, or for that suicidal policy which would create divisions among our? selves, by pressing upon the attention of the people nuy question that would distract them, and thus nflord an easy entrance for mischievous de sigus and tho operations of their originators and promoters. A con? vention will be bold in this State, whether the whites who oro not dis? franchised declino to vote, or vote against it. Is it not evident, there? fore, that it is the part of wisdom, patriotism and prudence, as well as it is their highest duty, to uuito in sending tho best mon, who are quali? fied, to that convention? Thc organic law of the State has to be revised and remodelled; and for tho 8ako of the future weal of the State, and for the best interests of ourselves and those who may come after us, it is of tho utmost impor? tance that such a work should not bo entrusted to designing or incompe? tent men. Let, then, union aud harmony prevail in tim work of re? construction; and when registration is ordered, let all who uve qualified register and vote for those men who havo the interest and welfare of the State and her people most at heart. -? < ? ? MEMORIAL CEREMONIES AT NEW DERK, N. C.-PROCESSION PROHIBIT? ED.-The carrying out of tho pro? gramme of the Newborn Memorial Association, last Thursday, was, as regarded a procession, prohibited hy? the military. But, at 5 o'clock p. m., a large concourso of citizens assem? bled in the cemetery to witness tho laying of tho corner-stone of the vault prepared to receive the remains of the Confederate dead. The New? born Journal Boya: Tho ceremonies were imposing and appropriate; the prayer by tho Kev. Mr. Vans was a model one, tho ode sung by a few of tho ladies und gen? tlemen was solemn, yet touchingly beautiful, tho oration was chaste, admirably written, and delivered in a stylo well suited to tho occasion. At tho close of tho oration, the persons selected descended into the vault, and deposited within the ce? mented pillar the followiug articles: A copy of tho Holy Bible; first Con? federate flag; second Confederate flag; Confeelerate battle-flag; photo? graphs of Davis, Leo nntl Johnston ; a roll of officers composing first Cubi net of Provisional Uoverument; the names of the officers of tho Ladies' Memorial Association; the names ai tho Mayor and City Council; Confe? derate money of all denominations; ii Mexicau dollar coutributeel by a Con? federate soldier; army anel navy but? tons; a United States silver half dol lar, and other small articles, of which wo were unable to secure a list. Then the stone was capped, anel securely cementcel, tho doxology was sung, tho benediction was pronounced, une tho large anel attentive crowel retiree" from tho scene. _ CAPABILITIES OP TUB SOI-TH.-Tin New York 2?r/>raut says: The South have iron, coal, slate and marble beneath tho soil, and : climate capable of every variety o production upon ita surface. Tin Southern States aro nearer tho West anel one of them nearer Kuropo, thai we are. Their presont prospects on blighted by two causes-that of tin war, and the radical supremacy ii Congress, which has covereel tho lane like A mildew. But thoro must bo ai end to all this, and tho enel will b seen just as soon as the question o reconstruction is settled. Tho les.? for a time, tho South hius to do witl politics, and tho moro it has to el with its material interests, the better If tho North -will bo content with nou-iuterfcrenco with Southern so ciety-if it will let tho people, whit and black, act in their own interests if it ceases all political proselyting, i will soon fiuel labor moro settleel education inoro diffused, ngricnlturi prosperity moro general, and til country mole prosperous. The capabilities of tho South ttl iaimense, and ought at once t attract tho attention of Norther capital. There is no leasou wh double last year's cottnu crop shoul not bc produced, and three times th corn and wheat and rice that wi harvested in 18015. Tho South we comes all capitalists, all kinds < labor, every means of thrift, wcalt anel industry. And it is impossib! to help tho South without helpin ourselves, anel especially tho truel and commerce of this great city."

InisH REFUGEES.-Tho New York Herald, of Sunday, says: Orent numbers of refugees aro arriving in this city from Ireland. They say the revolutionary move? ment thcro is entirely abandoned, and give discouragiug accounts of tho state of tho couutry. It is said that a special call has been made on the Fenian Brotherhood, for aid for the families of tho Irish State pri SiNonXiAlt EPIDEMIC.-Wo were shown yesterday, a lotter from a lady in Pulaski County, stating that a singular and fatal epidemic had broken out among tho negro chil dren in sonia portions of that coun? ty, that fivo lind already died from it, and several others wero prostrated with it, whoso recovery was extreme? ly doubtful.

We ure indebted to the Commis? sioner of Immigration, Gen. John A. Wagener, for a copy of u fifty-page pamphlet-a work containing a brief history of tho State, showing its am? ple resources and tho many induce- | monts offered to immigration. Ac? companying it, is a neat outline map of the Stab*.. Tho pamphlet is very tastefully printed by Joseph Walker. Esq., Charleston, S. C. THE MAY PARTY.-Reader, were you ever at a May party? I do nut mean ono of those line growu-ujv young lady affairs, which wealth pro? vides and fashion coutrols-where artificial flower?, artificial smiles, pre? mature coquettes, flirtations, lace, ribbon and perfumery crowd ont everything simple, natural, joyous and loveable-where you hear no clear, ringing, child-like laugh, see no involuntary hop, skip aud jump where you see beautiful set smiles, graceful, lady-like movements, trail? ing skirts and prodigious waterfalls. Everybody has, some time or other, witnessed ono of those stately affairs. I mean nono of these, but a real school-girl's May party, got up by the teacher-friend, who, in her heart, has no motive but to mako tho children happy, and to draw happiness to her? self in seeing them so. I mean a gay, joyous, noisy crowd of happy, healthy, sinless little children and young girls, such as met together, on Thur.sday.afternoon, at Miss McGow? an's school-revelling in Howers, mu? sic, confectionery and fun. Thoy numbered fifty, and sure I am that, if Miss McGowan has not been singularly fortunato in securing so largo a number from among tho most intelligent and prettiest behaved children in Columbia, she must have a wondrous faculty for making them so; and an observer can quickly as? certain that "the mighty magic" she hus used is love, assisted hy a keen perception of character, which ena? bles her almost to read tho hearts of tho littlo ones under her tuition, and adapt her method to them. She glided about through tho merry crowd, giving to some affectionate smiles, to others words of praise or encouragement, and to others little reproofs, which she tried to utter in a stern manner, but she had too evi? dently forgotton tho schoolmistress in the sympathizing Mond, ami her scolding was, in every case, a failure. And the procession through the streets! Oh, von fashionable, grown? up young ladies, with your fantastic littlo plasters, instead of bonnets; your big, ugly, heavy-looking protu? berance on tho back of your heads; your long, coarse-looking black chains dangling about in your way; your ri? diculous tilters; your short sacques, without any shape; your street sweeping skirts, and yonr many other abominations by way of dress-you must yield the pulu, of graco and beauty to these little children and young girls; for they far out-shone you all, and unqualified exclamations of pleasure and nd? liration greeted them everywhoro front many A LOOKER-ON.
