COLUMBIA. Friday Morning, June 21, 1867. Our Dnty as Carolinians. Tho time approaches when, it is presumed, the first stop shrill bo takou in this Stnto for her restorntiou to the Union, aud this first step wo re? gard as of the utmost importance, much moro so in the present instance than thoso which follow. "We refer to the act of registration, tho omis? sion of which important duty dis? franchises the delinquent, so far as tho first election is concerned, as well as those which may succeed it, as thoroughly as if un Act of Congress had disabled them. Unless regis? tered, no mau, wo caro not what his opinions-for convention, or against convention-may bo, will bo entitled to express his preference at tho ballot box. For this reason aloue-that the full expression of tho voters of this State may bo legitimately aud accu? rately recorded-we desire to impress upon tho minds of those who may read these lines that it is their duty, as good citizens of the old Common? wealth they have so faithfully stood by in the past, to register promptly, whon the opportunity is presented. This is tho first reason for regis? tration; tho others are, perhaps, moro important And the next ap? peals to men of all shades of opinion, cither as regards tho recouBtruction Acts or tho [policy of calling a con? vention. If any of our readers feel chafed under tho provisions of the Acts referred to, and feel so aoro that they are determined to have nothing to do with politics at this time-are opposed to a convention and all that -let them remember that they can? not voto against convention unless registered. They will have flung away tho opportunity to exercise thc right which is accorded to them bj the law-to express their opiuiou ou that subjects So that it is thc duty of all, whatever may be their opinion, to register. The next step in the reconstruc tion policy-and the nest duty to thc State-is to cute. Some may vote under the advice of Governor Perry against a convention; but our owi opinion, heretofore frequently ex pressed, is that a convention will b< called by an overwhelming majority. l3o this aa it may, however, all car vote for the best men who may offei and aro qualified, aud for these "bes! men" citizens of both opinions ear vote, thus securing talent and ability in the body which is to brush up tin old land-m.'trks, and to recoustrucl the orgauio law of tho State. W" desire to persistently press this matter upon the minds of the people . of South Carolina. It is one ol' tia utmost importance-and we use 1101 this term in its common acceptation that has beeu brought before then since the winter of 1860. Refusing to register will be thc fatal mis-step, aud will bring woo; upon thif* State, which, great as he] physical d?solation has been in tin past, such a disorganizing movement will find her in a condition much lesi ablo to withstand the shock th au sh< was formerly, when it was but par tial. Hence, we hriug this matter s< oftou beforo our readers, nu 1 urg< them to register and vote-vote fo: the best meu-and ignore Governo: Perry's advisory endorsement. Tiri; is written, of course, ou the aupposi tion that no interference will be usei among the district commanders, am that they and tho citizens will be nhl to uui'i in a policy of peace and re storation. THE HOMICIDE OF THE COLORE] RBCHBTEII.-Tho Montgomery Adver tiser, of Sunday, has the followinj version of tho killing of Webb, th negro register, iu Hale County, Ala bama: Alexander Webb, the colored re gister, walked into a storo at Greens boro, and made some statement whiel was denied by somo colored boys pre scut. Tho storo-kcopor (whoso nam wo did not hear) interceded, sustain ing tho position of tho boys; and hi assertion was pronounced a tl-d lie Ho asked Webb if he knew who li was talking to. Tho negro ropliei that ho did-a d-d son of a b-L The store-keeper drew u pistol, she him, and, as soon as he could arrang his papers, left. Tho matter, we understand, ha nothing to do with tho registry, an tho colored man forfeited his lifo fe a most wanton insult, and as man white men have dono under simila circumstances. Sofa pianos aro a recent aovelb -1- ' ! LARGE YIELD OF WHEAT.- The Chester Standard chronicles the fol? lowing: Mr. E. J- West, of this town, has just harvested a small patch of wheat, about one-third of un acre, anil the product was 13',? bushels, or nt the rate of iO'.j bushels per aero. Tho grain is known ns the red Alabama wheat. Tho land is black jack, with n stiff clay sub-soil. Ho spread four? teen tvro-horso wagon loads of ordi? nary inauu.ro (chip, ashes and cow) on tho lot, and the above is tho result. Since the wheat was cut, ho lins planted tho same ground in corn and peas, and now has a fine prospect of realizing another splendid crop. SHOOTING AFFRAY.-Two negrees, Calvin Kelly and Jefferson Segars, wero arrested in Chesterfield District recently, charged with an attempt ut theft mid murder. On tho night of tho 14th instant, they attempted to break into the crib of a ?rr. Segars. Thc noise attracted tho al ;ention of Capt Dove Segars, who went out to the crib to ascertain the cause. While .standing near tho crib, he was fired upon, tho .shot entering tho hip and producing a dangerous, if not mortal, wound. Jefferson Segara was arrest? ed, aud soon after confessed thc fact that he was nuder the crib, and that Calvin Kell}' was on thc watch and fiel the gun. Senator Wade's party aro all en route home. All of tho Senators ac? companying the excursion have agreed to help constitute a quorum at tho sessiou of Congress in July, and ii telegram was forwarded bj them to Gen. Schenck, of thc Na? tional Union Congressional Commit tee, urging him to advise all thc Ile publican members to be present. HAKD TO BELIEVE.-A niau en gaged in blasting in Summit County Ohio, had an iron tube, three feel long, blown into his head, where i became firmly inbedded. It enteret the forehead and passed through tin back of the head, a foot of the tub I protruding from each side. He ha lived four days since the accident and is yet alive. WHAT FAYETTE MCAIUI.TJEN SAW V. THE WESTERN STATES.-His ton through tho West has impressed bin with tho notion that he sees th prognostics of two tempests in th North-a financial revolution in favo of repudiation, and a political r?volu tion in re-action against negro sui frage.-Swinton. SAVAGE.-San Antonio (Texas-) pu pois give accounts of extensive cnltl stealing in the North-western part i the State by Indians. In ono case, herd of 1,000 hoad were taken, an one of tho drivers was killed un skinned down to the waist by the re devils. Tho information from all parts < Virginia shows that the people are a inclined to register. MARRIED. On the 30th Mav, 1867, at tho resident of Obi. Tims. V. Walsh, bv Rev. Dr. Rich Fin-man, THOS. E.

Ur-HiEE BUSINESS.-One of the slowest, and hardest, and most un? necessary jobs ever undertaken, is for a man to build up a successful business without advertising. Fifty or a hundred years ago it was easiei, because there was loss competition, and thc facilities for getting adver? tisements before thc public were not so good; but in thc jostle of modern . competition, those who sit down and wait for customers are almost sure not to get many of them, while by judicious advertising a man may, iii six weeks, make his name and busi? ness as familiar to the public ns those of his competitors of twenty years' standing.
