Friday Morning, Jone 28,1867.
Bmb?rraHmentt pf th? Southern
Pre?.
There is no donbt but that the
newspaper press of tho South occupy,
at this time, a position surrounded
by great embarrassments, and ouo
which requires prudence and sound
judgment so to manage it as to be
productivo of the best attainable re?
sults. The Charleston Mercury, of
the 2Cth, bas an article on this sub?
ject, from which we make tho follow?
ing extract:
' 'The Southern press is embarrassed
with great difficulties as toits course.
Those who are in favor of the milita?
ry Act, of course, have a smooth soa
to sail over. They have only to point
to our distressed and ruined condi?
tion, which all feel and deprecate,
to tho reconstruction under this Act,
as tho haven of all relief and of all
peace. Only get into tho Union,
and thon Northern and European
capital will overflow in our land, and
'a now heaven and a now earth' will
. open to our happy visions. Suffering
alwayB gives wings to fancy, as the
Soor traveller, dying of thirst in tho
escrt, secs, water in tho moviug of
the sands. But if the press attempts
to esposo the futility of theso antici?
pations, it is met at ouce with a se?
rious embarrrssment. There aro two
populations in the South. All you
say with a view to the whito race,
may, through tho instructions givcu
to the black race, be considered as
against thom. iTJo urge a policy for
the one, is furnishing- fuel to incen?
diaries for alienation or hostility on
tho part of the other. To say nothing,
or to speak only in favor of the en?
forcement of the m?itary Act, is
urged as the only course for peace
A desire, deeply felt, to keep the
races in concord together, hus here?
tofore restrained the Southern press
from fully discussing tho reconstruc?
tion policy of tho military Act. Ii
left to themselves, the races might
easily have settled mutual iriondrv
relations towards each other."
What the Mercury means by speak
ing of newspapers "in favor of tk<
military Act," we may not correctly
understand; but our respected co
temporary can well appreciate th<
difference between submitting to tin
decree of an adverse fate und laud
ing or even being in favor of sud
untoward destiny. General Leo sur
rendered his armies, and with then
the hopos of the Southern Confodo
racy and the cherished aspirations o
its people; and who will say that sui<
surrender was not timely and wiso
Yet neither thoso gallant men nor tb
peoplo of tho South were "iu favor'
of it. They simply accepted thei
defeat, comphed with the term
offered, and have ever Binco demcau
ed thomselves in strict nccordane
with them. And so it is now. Thcs
who counsel the people to comp!
with the terms of tho recoustructioi
Acts, do so with tho sumo honesty c
purpose, aud with tho samo regar
for the futuro welfare of their sect iou
as did our leuders and tho whole pee
plo accept tho terms of snrreuder. I
is unjust, therefore, to class the mau
true journals of the South who ac
viso reconstruction under the Acts u
"in favor" of them.
But the Mercury refers to one poii
connoctod with tho plau of recoi
struction as presented to us in tl:
Congressional policy, aud that is tli
action of tho "two populations," i
it denominates tho two races, wilie
now have the same rights and equi
privileges before tho ballot-box. Bi
while we seo no "serious embarras
ment" in relation to this matter, v
agree with our cotemporary, that ha
the two races been left to themselve
they could havo soon established mi
tual friendly relations towards cac
other. But this is not tho case; n<
was it hardly to bo expected; for tho;
who ouacted tho military bills did ?
under tho belief that the frcedmc
needed protection in the rights ju
accorded to them, and it was natur
for thom, therefore, to suppose th;
?he nowly-mado voters needed i:
struction as to tho proper exercise
thoso rights. That they were wroi
in all theso apprehousious, is bcyoi
question, aud tho only thing now le
for tho Southern whites to do iu tl
premises is to cultivate amieab
relations with tho freedmen, aud
convince them that both races a
equally interested iu speedy restoi
tion.
It is on this account that wo a
"in favor of" doing tho best wo c
under tho circumstances which st
round ns; of uniting all our pooi
in faithfully carrying ont, both
spirit aud letter, tho Acts of Cc
gross, under which, and under
other, can tho South bo restored
her former position in the Union; of
all using their best endeavors to pro
vent the formation of political parties
in our midst, and of modestly de?
monstrating to Congress that we
accept with honesty and sincerity the
terms which it has proposed. After
having done all this, should that
body rocedo from its own proposi?
tion and break its plighted faith with
the South, the latter will have come
up to the full measure of thoir duty,
and will stand justified before the
peoplo of this country and of the
world, for having done all that men
could do for tho salvation of their
country. There should not, and
must not, bo any party divisions
amongst us, if wo sincerely desiro a
re-union of the States. Thcso divi?
sions once inaugurated, a war of
races will ousue, and our fertile and
beautiful land become desolate.
Thc Plague In Inland.
Wo learn from our exchanges, re?
ceived yesterday, that a disenso hus
appeared in Dublin, which so closely
resembles tho plaguo of 1GG3 that it
is considered by some to bo identi?
cally tho samo disease. It first ap?
peared in Dublin in March, 1SGG.
Of late, the cases havo becomo so nu?
merous ns decidedly to increase thc
death rate of tho city. Its symptoms
are headache, pain in tho spino and
stomach, sometimes curvature of tho
spine and displacement of tho head,
dilation of tho pupil, and spasms.
Invariably there appear upon tho
breast and arms purplo spots, which
grow darker until they aro finally
black. There aro thrco grades, ac?
cording to thc physicians, in only one
of which recoveries have taken place.
In tho most fatal, death ensues in
from twelvo to twenty-four hours
from tho appearance of tho disease
In tho mildest form, the case may
continue from days to weeks. The
physicians are divided in their opi?
nions. Some class it with blood
poisoned diseases, such as typhus
fevers, ita ; others call it a new lorm
of cerebro-spinal disease; others say
two distinct types are blended in it;
which occasion confusion in diag?
nosis. It appears to bo contagious,
for tho children of a woman who were
sick of the disease took it and died.
A BAND OF ROBBERS rs* J3ARN-WF.LT;
DISTRICT, S. C.-Au old and highly
respectable citizen of South Carolina
desires us to direct tho attention of
the authorities, both civil and mili?
tary, to the fact that there is a law?
less band of ruffians, consisting of
three white men and some four or
more negroes, within tho belt of
country defined by Lower Three
Runs, Kaolin, Horse Creek Swamps
and tho Savannah River, crossing
occasionally into Scriven and Burke
Counties, Georgia. The leader of
this baud is supposed to be Bolin,
for whose apprehension a reward has
been offered by Gov. Orr, of South
Carolina, for having committed "an
atrocious murder and robbery on the
body of James Johnson, at Station
110, South Carolina Railroad." Tho
second of this white trio is said to be
a man by the namo of Shepherd-a
deserter from the Federal army. The
third seems to bc an unknown
stranger. Tho negroes seem to be
employed chielly in gaining informa?
tion and in securing spoils. These
lawless ruffians arc tho occasion of
alarm to tho good peoplo of Beech
Island by tho depredations and
threats of vengeance which are in
circulation against such as attempt to
enter complaints or to discover thoir
whereabouts.
Tho different civil and military
jurisdictions seem to have produced
some distrust.
ARREST.-An arrest was made hero
by tho military, on Friday last, of
two persons, ono registering from
Canada and the other from New
\ork, tho latter formerly of this
State, and who wo are glad to say
was almost immediately after libe?
rated, their being no charge against
him, moro than tho unfortunate fact
of having been found in company
with the former, who is still in cus?
tody. What the charge is is not
known; tho arrest was made on a
despatch from headquarters below.
\Newberry J krubi.
Genorals Griffin and Reynolds, of
Texas, have reported to General She?
ridan that Judge Rives, of tho Ninth
Judicial District of that State, in a
charge to the grand jury of the
court, stntod that ho shon'd not re?
ceive tho testimony of negroes, as
the law of Congress on tho subject
was unconstitutional. They also re?
port tho same facts against Judgo
Dougherty, who stated in tho head?
quarters of General Reynolds that,
as regards the testimony of negroes,
ho would not recoguizo tho law or
authority of Congress.
GEN. GRANT FOR PRESIDENT.-Tho
Atlanta New Nm is out in an article
advocating tho election of Gen. Grant
as President in 18G8, and hoists his
name at the head of its columns.
LITTLE Pint. SHKaiDAif.-Tf Sb'eri
has not proved himself to be "little"
in more senses than one, we are mis- !
taken. He says in a telegram to j
Gen. Grant:
I regret that I should have to differ
with the President, but it must b >
recollected that I have been ordered
to execute a law to which the Preti
dent has been in bitter antagonism.
If, after this report, the time is to
be extended, please notify, and it will
be done. I would do it at once, but
the President's telegram was condi?
tional, and ' thero is sufficient time
left to "jsue tho necessary orders.
P. H. SHERIDAN,
Maj. Gen. United States Army.
This is his reply to tho President's
order. The National Intelligencer says:
If it wore not incredible that a
military officer who had wou distinc?
tion in tho field could have writton a
despatch so full of disrespect to his
superior officer, and at thc same time
have been guilty of permitting its
publication in advnnco of its recep?
tion by tho officer to whom it is ad?
dressed, we should unhesitatingly
pronouueo it a forgery.
LOOK OUT ron HIM.-About four
weeks ago, a mun who gave his
name ns Williams, about G foot
high, fair skiu, blue eyes, front teeth
ridiug each other aud projecting,
pleasant spoken, and his left arm off
below the u'bow, was loitering about
tho farms of Mr. .lohn Simpson and
J. M. Barnett. On the same night.
Simpson's horse was stolou, aud
some jewelry, pocket-book, Ac.
from Mr. Barnett. Last Friday, he
appeared in the vicinity again, pass
ing dowu tho road leading an ox.
Believing him to bo tho man who
committed the above theft, measures
wore taken to havo him arrested.
Tho fellow took the alarm, and be?
fore a warrant could bo obtained, ho
made his escape, leaving thc ox be?
hind.-Sparlanburg Spartan,

Thoso who subscribe to it are kept
well posted up in tho current events

PEACHES.-Wo were thu recipients,
yesterday, of a plate of delicious,
large peaches-sent us by the better
half of our friend Joseph Taylor.
They arc the finest we have seen this
summer. Ouo of them would make
nearly a meal-that is, for a small
appetjto.
TELEGRAPHIC DESPATCHES.-Tho
Phoenix and Gleaner aro the only
papers in the State, outside of tho
city of Charleston, that receive and
publish the latest telegraphic de?
spatches, market reports, etc.-Ame?
rican and European. Recollect, also,
that the uews in these publications is
furnished throughout thc upper Dis?
tricts twenty-four hours ahead of thc
Charleston papers. The subscription
to the daily is i?8 a your; tri-weekly
5, aud weekly $3.
COTTON' BLOOM.-Tho first cotton
bloom we havo sceu this season was
sent us yesterday by Mr. E. McC.
Clarkson. It was taken from his
plantation, near Adams' Cut, ou the
South Carolina Railroad. He informs
us that his crop of cotton is bloming
rapidly.
REMEDY VOR DELL TIMES.-Tho
best remedy for dull times is to ad?
vertise freely. Merchants should not
let their stocks stay shelved until
they become old, stalo and unprofit?
able, for the sake of the small ex?
pense it would cost them to adver
tise. If they try it regularly um
persistently, they will lind the iu
vestment to be a paying one.
RANCIO BETTER.-We take from a:
exchange, for the benefit of house
keepers, the following recipe, whicl
is worth moro thau the subscriptioi
price to a paper for a year, as its eui
ciency is sufficiently vouched for:
"To a pint of water add thirt;
drops (about half ii teaspoonful) o
liquor of chloride of limo. Wash ii
this two and a half pounds of rancii
butter. When every particle of th
' butter has come iu contact with th
water, let it stand an hour or twe
then wash tho butter again in par
water. The butter is then left with
out any odor, and has tho sweetnes
of fresh butter. These preparation
of limo have nothing injurious i
them."
The same paper says:
"We forthwith obtained some c
tho most rancid butter, and it wa
bad enough for any stomach that ha
more sensibility thau a wagon wheo
Wo doctored it as per recipe, un
when placed on the table along wit
new, good butter, very able judge
could not distinguish which was tb
uew butter."
TRUE.-Hero is a fact which cai
not bc too of tcu repeated : When yo
seo a mun who advertises liberally
you may be certain of finding a goo
stock of goods iu his store, that li
keeps up with tho market, aud sel
cheaper than thoso who do not ot
vertiso. If you want good bargain
always patronize thoso who ava
themselves of tho advantages nftbrdc
through the advertising columns <
their paper.
SEED.-Mr. McKenzie requests i
to inform our readers that he has r
ceived, from the Agricultural D
partmont, at Washington, D. C.,
sir ul quantity of Hungarian gru
seed, for distribution. Thoso wi

Jjn PRINTING.-The Job Office
tho Pho'ni.c is as complete as any
the South. It is fnrnished with ut
fouts of type of all descriptions ai
of the most modern styles. All wo
executed promptly, with taste ai
skill, and at reasonable rates.
TJp-f?TTiTi ROSINESS.-One of the
slowest, and hardest, and most un- A
necessary jobs ever undertaken, is W
for a man to build up a successful
business without advertising. Fifty
or a hundred years, ago it was easier,
because there was less competition,
and tho facilities for getting adver?
tisements before the public were not
so good; but in the jostle of modern
competition, those who sit down and
wait for customers aro almost sure
not to got many of them, while by
judicious advertising a mau may, in
six weeks, make his name and busi?
ness as familiar to the public as those
of his competitors of twenty years'
standing. _
AimrvAT. OF TUE NEW HOSE REEL.
Tho splendid hose reel presented to
the Iudepeudcnt Fire Company, of
Columbia, arrived yesterday after?
noon, in charge of tho committee of
the New York committee of tho Fire?
men's Association, of New York. The
members of tho committeo who ac?
companied it here are the same gen?
tlemen who brought it on thc steamer
to Charleston, viz: Messrs. Lamb,
Burns, Lawrence and Clearmnu.
On their arrival at the depot of the
South Carolina Railroad, the com?
mittee were met by tho various bodies
composing the Fire Department of
this city. The formality of personal
introductions and courtesies having
been gono through with, a procession
was formed, and passed over the route
designated in the programme pub?
lished yesterday.
Tho procession halted at Janney's
Hall, where an elegant collation had
becu prepared. After the firemen
and their invited guests had arranged
themselves around the plentifully
supplied tables, his Honor Mayor
Stark welcomed tho New York dele?
gation in a few very appropriate re?
marks. Ho said:.
GENTLEMEN OF THE NEW YORK
FIREMEN'S ASSOCIATION: It is my
pleasing duty to welcome and con?
gratulate you on your safo arrival in
Columbia, bearing with you the beau?
tiful hoso reel, supplying tho placo i
of that first noble and generous do?
nation which was1 lost by the casual?
ties of the sea. Tho generous feel?
ings which have prompted you again
to cany out your first intentions, and
which you havo so nobly done, can
emanate only from those true-hearted
men who always determino never to
fail in any enterprise they consider
worthy of success.
I beg leave, gentlemen, to tender
to you tho profound and heartfelt
thanks of tho firemen of Columbia,
and our wholo community, for this
eminently useful and magnificent
gift; and I trust that this friendly
action on your part, and the social
meetings wo have in store for you,
will aid iu restoring tho friendly re?
lations of the past and dispelling the
gloom that hangs over our common
country; aud that after our festivities
are over, upon your return home,
you will carry to your generous com?
rades tidings of the heartfelt and sin?
cere manner with which we extended
to you this greeting.
Again, gentlemen, I bid you wel?
come; welcome as the guests of our
city and its people; welcome in be?
half of all who appreciate your gene?
rous mission; welcome to our hearts
and our homes.
A brief but pertinent response was
made by one of tho New York com?
mittee.
We regret that, on account of da?
mages on tho Wilmington and Man?
chester Railroad, the greater portion
of tho New York committee, includ?
ing tho President of the Association,
wero unable to unite with their bre?
thren at Kingsville. It is to be hoped
they will arrive hero to-day.
Tho hose reel is a perfect gem. We
will givo a full description of it to?
morrow. On the whole, tho citizens
of Columbia did themselves credit
yesterday afternoon in the general
cordial welcome manifested by all to
tho representatives of the generous
donors of this valuablo present, and
our firemen deserve much praise for
tho completeness of their arrange?
ments. Tho programme for to-day
will be found in our advertising co?
lumns.
