COLUMBIA. Sunday Morning, May 12, 1867. Regla! ration. Wo published, yesterday morning, tho order of Gen. Sickles, received by telegraph, directing and regulat? ing tho process of tho registration of voters in this State. Tho time se? lected is about tho best that could be appointed for Ibo planters and their laborers, as they can bo better spared from tho farm for a day or two at that time than almost at any other. Registration boards, as far as possi? ble, will bo appointed nt the usual election precincts, thus giving an op? portunity to all, without much in? convenience, to attend to this im? portant duty. Commencing on the third Monday in July, two days will bo devoted to registration, but the order provides that "the board will again visit every preeiuct and revise tho list of voters, hear objections from citizens as to any adjudication made, and register any person who may hnve been unable, by reason of illness or other good and sufficient cause, to attend the first session of the board.^' It is important, how? ever, that all who are qualified should register on the two first days ap? pointed. This registration, if faithfully, im? partially and fully carried out by tho several boards and by the people themselves, will exhibit a true record of all who are entitled to vote in this State, so long as tho present laws of Congress remain iu full force nud virtue. It is of tho utmost import? ance, therefore, that every man, white and colored, who may be quali? fied, should promptly register. We will then know where we stand, and tho opportunity given in the interim, between the registration and the elcctiou, to work for and consum? mate uuity and harmony botweon tho two classes of voters who will then meet for tho first time togo th or at tho polls, to exercise tho high pri? vilege of selecting the men who nrc to guido and control the destinies ol our oommon State. Tho formation of n State Constitution, iu conformity to tho now order of things, will bc vastly more important to our people of both classes than tho discussion ol any question of national politics. Tho proceedings under tho Acts ol Congress in this State will bo watched withtrnora interest than, perhaps, ir any other of the Southern StnteB. Hero the majority of enfranchised voters are colored people, and herc has it been alleged that tho forme] owners will intimidate or coerce thu class of voters. Senator Wilaoi threatens a further keeping out o: tho Southern States, if coercion OJ unfair meaus aro used for this pur pose. All the meetings hekl in thii State, where oolored persons partier pated, disprove the allegations mad? against the white people of thii State. They aro willing that stric justice should bo moted out and im partiality shown in the approaching ro-organizatiou of tho State; nnd wi sincerely trust that the boards o registration will bo composed of mei /ho will carry ont the known will o uo people in this respect. The peoplo of the State have i great work before them, uud th future weal of the State, tho peace happiness and prosperity of the peo plo, depend entirely on the manne in which this work shall bo done Sullenness, apathy or indifference t the result-but moro especially au; uncalled-for cavilling with, or oppc t?tion to, tho requirements of th laws of Congress-will ruin us sc cinUy, politically und pecuniarily Circumstances beyond our contre havo placed us in our present politi cal condition; but true manhood firmness and even patriotism ough to induce us lo deal with these eil CUmsianccs so as to make thc best ci them, nnd pursue such a policy n will mr?*o\ pondnM> tn *' . ... wm ti- -.?cc to mo best mic rests of all. Old prejudices or indi vidual feeling .should not obstrue tho only path that promises restore tion. If that promise turns out t bo delusory, if wo do our duty, w will havo no causo for self-roproacl whatever bo the consequence. Wo have on moro than one oce? sion expressed our opinion ns to th imperativo duty of tho people c South Carolina in their present pol tical situation. Tho following c> tract from the Charleston Mercury, t Friday, so clearly and forcibly point out thc truo course that wc common itUo "ttuTwirefrii attention of our readers: "The whole frame-work of our Stato organization and every right in tho community is involved fn the action taken; by.our citiaens in thia business, and it requires no reflection to arrive at the vital importance of every ono registering who is entitled to vote. For weal or for woe-for conservation or for radical ruin-thia matter is going to deoide tho fate of our people. If ruined, they aro to have a voice and hand in their de? struction, aud either apathy or timid aud hopeless time-serving will accom? plish tue end of making the country unendurable-without security for life or property, and with a disgust? ing and degrading war of races. It is incumben' upon us to rise to -the realization of our true position; to understand tho difficulties and dan gors by whioh we are surrounded, and to shapo our course with wisdom and judgment and discretion, no less than with courage, fidelity to ourselves and tho vigor and energy of a com? munity striving for existence-for every interest, and every right, and every hope, which makes life valua? ble. However unpleasant and hu? miliating tho dirty work of canvassing and electioneering, it cannot be avoided, and must be done. Wo have faith to believo that tho people of tho Stato will do their part ho? nestly and actively, with a manly pa? tience and good sense. The State can and will be saved from the radi? cal iuundatiou and overthrow which otherwiso is likely to prevail over our rights, property and civilization. In this grept impending emergency, South Carolina expects every man to do his duty. No good citizen who can vote should fail to register; and we trust that such men 'will bo ap? pointed to conduct tho registry that no suspicion of party trickery or foul play can possibly rest upon tho re? sults of the ballot-boxes. This seems clearly the intention of Gen. Sickles' order." We can add nobbing to this whole? some odvice, and we trust it will bo pondered and acted on by both tho registrars and tho voters. OHIO.-Three men were hung nt Cincinnati, for murder, a few days ago, and it is announced in tho pa? pers that there isacriminal of thesame sort now in jail at Dayton, sentenced .to go up iu a week or two hence. Ohio is doing a heavy business in tho hanging line. It is a startling fact, but ono that will uot bo denied by parties having regard to truth, that in all those parts where radi? calism is iu tho ascendant crimes of tho most appalling grado are fear? fully on tho' increase. Such, how? ever, is but the history of radicalism in ali countries where it lins flour iahuJ. Tho arrival of Col. Weatherly, who was summoned to appear before the Judiciary Committee, is announced iu the Washington papers. Tho Chronicle says: "It is surmised that ho is to be questioned as to his visit to Washington during the winter, and the conversation reported to have taken place between him and j tho President.-'* RAILROAD LTHER.YLITY.-We hopo there may bo somo mistake in the foliowiug statement, from the Sumter News. It is speaking of the Wil? mington and Manchester Railroad: This company is certainly creating, or has already created, for itself, a very enviable reputation among the peoplo of the State. Wo have been reliably informed that it is the only company, North or South, that has refused to transport over its road, free of charge, provisions and sup? plies for distribution among the poor. Comment is unnecessary. THE RICHMOND CITY RAILWAY. A Richmond tolegrnm says: The receipts of tho City Railway Company, has fallen off fully two thirds from the average of the past two months. This is in consequence of tho permission given a few days ago, for colored peoplo to ride in tho cars. Notwithstanding their eager? ness to havo this privilege, they do not make much uso of it. It is said that the stock, which sold for par, with interest, before the extension of this privilege, cannot now be sold at fifty per cont, discount. HORRIBLE OUTRAGE.-Tho Mobile Times gives the details of a horrible outrage committed by negroes upon a family named Peters, living on Dog River, at no great distance from Mo? bile. The brutos broke into the house at night, heat tho father aud sons until they were insensible, out? raged the mother and daughter-the latter a girl twelve years of agc stole some $1,300 in gold and cur? rency, and made their escape. Every effort is being made to capture the fiends and bring them to summary punishment. i At the races in New Orleans rc-1 cen ly, a horse owned by the editor; ot the Crescent ran first in tho ono' mile dash and a horse owned by the editor of the limes ran second. ' The ! editors themselves are said to 'be tolerably fast. I RELIEF FOU SUMTER PLANI EUS. Messrs. F. J. Moses, A. A. Gilbert and A. J. Aloses, of Sumter District, were appointed n deputation, by ft ' publie meeting, to wait ou General Scott, on tho subject .of procuring relief for the planters of that District. They have published the following card : The undersigned, deputized by tho committee of seven, which was created by tho action of the public , meeting, held on the 27th ultimo, proceeded to Charleston, on Friday last, and held an interview with Clon. R. E. Scott, on the following day, with referen'v to advances of supplies by Government for the relief of des? titute planters of Sumter District. It is gratifying to ns to say that Gen. Scott evidenced a marked ear? nestness and zeal in behalf of the vital interests wo represented, and gavo us assurances of his warm co? operation with as in whatever course might be adopted, looking to relief. Within nud of himself, he had ho power to issue the advances asked for. Authority to do so must como from Gen. Howard, which authority, with proper representations of the urgent necessities of tho District, hu thought would be granted. A communication was therefore ad? dressed by us to Gen. Scott, setting forth tho condition of our District, and asking for tho issue to us, upon lieus of crops, or otherwise, of 10, 000 bushels of corn and 75,000 pounds of bacon. This communication was strongly endorsed by him, and by him forwarded immediately to Wash? ington. Ho also informed us that he would visit-Washington tho present week, and urge our application iu person. Wo therefore feel cheered with tho hope that our mission, through the activo kindness of Gen. Scott, will accomplish something for tho assist? ance of our struggling country. -? # ? i .AT WOSK.-The Wilmington Die patcJi, of Friday, says: Wo learn that tho secret radical or? ganizations of this and other South ern cities are sending out emissaries to tho rnral districts, for the purpose of inveigling tho couutry negroes into their lodges, and with a view to spreading radical doctrines. We would advise our couutry friends to bo on tho lookout for these fellows, and to warn the negroes within reach of their influence of the demoralizing results of such combinations. Wo feel sure that, in tho couutry, the negroes know that their interests aro identical with those of their employ? ers, and, if properly contrived, will repel all attempts to array them into a position of hostility to their friends. The effects, of such proselyting must be detrimental to tho value of the negroes ns laborers, and, therefore, the utmost exertion should bo put forth to defeat the pnrposes of these emissaries BROWNLOW'S BRIGANDS.-A compa? ny of Browulow's Tennessee militia bocamo dissatisfied with the result of tiie election for oflicers recently, and a general fight ensued, in which ono mau was killed, another had his skull fractured, and eight or ten more were severely injured.

Jon PRINTING.-The Job Oificc of tho PhamLc is a? complete as any in the South. It is furnished with new fonts of type of all descriptions aud of thc most modern styles. All work executed promptly, with taste and skill, and at reasonable rates. MAY DAY.-Among other agreeable May day incidents and recreations, I cannot refrain from mentioning to those who were not fortunato enough to witness it, the pleasant pic-nic and other amusements gotten up by Mr. and Mrs. Wigg for their soholars. And when it is remembered that most of those children are orphans or their parents in iudigent circumstances, and that, consequently; their daily walk is not through a flowery path, too mach cannot be said iu praise of this gentleman aud lady for their great exertions to mnko tho children happy on that day. Tho beautiful procession, in which no child was allowod to make an rppearance infe? rior to the rest-all being handsomely arranged by tho taste and kindness of Mrs. Wigg-excited much attention as it proceeded through the streets. Among tho young' and happy crowd were many charming faces; but per? haps nothing pleased me so much ns the appearance of two tiny boys, dif? fering not much in age, still less in size, (children of Mr. Wigg;) their white garments adorned with i pro? fusion of Howers, their cheeks rosy with health and their bright blue eyes sparkling with joy and intelli? gence. I have seldom looked upon so pretty and so fresh a picture. On their arrival at Latin's Orove, {the placo selected for tho pic-nic,) they partook ol' refreshments, made neat little speeches, and then filled up the time with music, dancing and other gay and innocent amusements. In conclusion, I must say that Mr. Wigg's school is an excellent one. Tho kind of studios pursued, tho books in uso-so w'ell adapted to the children under his tuition-his own indefatigable exertions, tho pride ho i takes in urging thc children forward, all make this institution, while under his direction, a valuable one to Co- 1 lumbia. Long may he superintend it. It is to bo lamented that arrange? ments aro not made to establish a "female freo school," and to secure the Valuable services of Mrs. Wigg I as a teacher. Such u consummation would be gratifying to many besides ' AN OBSFTTVER. COLUMBIA, May (>, 1807.

FOR THE FRONTIERS.-The Monl I gomery papers notico the departure from that place of 200 recently en? listed colored troops, for tho far West, whither they go to serve against the Indians. Tho Advertiser 8i>ys, in connection with their departure: A considerable number of freed? men assembled near the market hotise1 yesterday, evidently for tho purpose* of discussing among themselves the propriety and advantages of enlisting in the service against the Iudiaus: One who seemed to bo tho leading spirit of thc meeting, and who Was . familiarly accosted os *'Jenkins," was unalterably opposed to raising a wtfr with such barbarous and unmerciful )people, and such good shots as the Indians; they could knock the cap out of a five cont piece 400 yards he had seen ono of them do it; if a tame one could shoot that well, why, these wild ones, that aro raising a fuss in the North-west, could kill a man half a mile; aud besides all this, when they catch a prisoner, they don't troat him like other Govern? ments, but they cut his ears off, and poko bis eyes out with a pegging awl. His listeners seemed to be not a little affected at his reoital o4|^?^ horrible doings of the Indians. BEWARE OF HER.-Our community should be on their guard against a blind woman calling herself Mrs. Frances M. Gerkiu, who is selling . music through the land, and who is now said to be op her way to this placo from Asheville, N. C. While our informant says nothing disrepu? table of the private character of Airs. Gerkin, he intimates that she has a very unpleasant way of quartering herself upon other people, and get-. ting along through lifo by "living "round" with tho neighbors, whether they like tho arrangement or not. She is a resident of Norfolk, Va., and her mother and daughter, we learn, aro vory anxious to ascertain her whereabouts. [ Green v Hie Mo u n ta in eer. <-???-> THE CONSCIENCE FUND.-A remark? able instance of "conscience" was de? veloped nt the Treasury tho other day. Two envelopes were "oceived from Cincinnati iu tue san.e mail, addressed to Gen. Spiuner, United States Treasurer, nuofficinlh/-ono containing ?2,500 and the other 81,000 in greenbacks. Not a wordjof explanation accompanies either of them, and there is no trace discover? ed of tho sender or senders. Al? though tho band-writiug of tho address on each is different, it is sur? mised that they both carno from the same source. The total receipts of the "conscience" fund amounts, with these sums, to 815,000. AroCRYVnATj.-The following apo? cryphal paragraph appears in some of tho papers: Postmaster-General Randall took occasion, a few days since, to place in the hands of tho President his resignation, that tho vacancy thus to bo created in the Cabinet might be filled by appointment of a citizen of ono of the Southern States, now un? represented at the Executive council taino. The President, while appre? ciating tho motives which prompted the Postmaster-General, declined t accept the resignation.
