- COLUMBIA. Tuesday Morning, July 2,1867. On Hie Right Track. Tho freedmen, in various localities, oro exhibiting a groot deal of good sense Mid conservatism. Wo behove that, if the Southern whites would interest themselves more thoroughly ?and practically in the condition and -welfare of those people, the best re? sults to both classes would follow. We havo now an instance beforo us of this kind, where tho whites havo given an example of kindness and good fooling, whioh should bo fol? lowed iu other parts of tho South. Ai a meeting of the whites and colored people, recently held iu Foyotto County, Ga., the object of which was to inaugurate some plan of education for the freed peoplo, the following resolutions were adopted by the white's: "Reso?vetl, That wo aro iu favor of the education of the entire peoplo of tho country, without distinction of race or color. "Resolved, That wo will throw uo obstacle in the way of tho education of tho colored pooplo of this County ; but, on tho contrary, wish thc cuter prise God speed. "Resolved, That auy interference with thc colored schools or churches moots our most unqualified condemn? ation. "Resolved, Thatjwe regard tho avo? cation of teaching tho colored people as a perfectly honorable business, and that those eugaged in teaching tho same aro entitled to, aud should have, our respect, os any other citi? zen of tho community." At this meeting, the good feeling and interest manifested did not ex? pend itself merely in tho resolutions quoted. The oolored people present adopted tho following: "Resolved, That wo tender o\ir thanks to our white friends in Fay? ette County for their advice aud counsel to us to-day, and f r the en? couragement and assistance they have given us; and especially to Capt. John Huie, for a building lot to build a school house upon in Fayetteville, and Mr. Isaac Avery, for tho privi? lege of buildiug timber, and his as? sistance in getting it to tho place. Also, tender our thanks to Thomas J. Edmondson, for a lot to build a school house upon in tho Sixth Dis? trict of said County." This is all in the right spirit, aud wo trust that such manifestations may become moro frequent through? out tho Southern States. Wo need not rail at foreign missionaries aud teachers coming among us to instruct tho freed people, so long as wc will not put forth a hand ourselves to aid in the work. It is the plain truth, that there has boeu loo much apathy, indifference, if not iudi3positiou, on the part of our peoplo iu this matter. Wo have tho evideuco all around us, that our Into slaves are anxious to have their children educated, to fit them for their now condition; but it is a lamentable fact that iu tho mosl of coses, this work has been left to strangers, brought on here aud main? tained in their labors at tho expense of tho Government, through the ad ministration of tho Freedmen's Bu reau. Whorever these schools are found they are well attended, ant generally the proficiency of tho pupil; is such as to eucourago persoverauce in the philanthropic work. Tho last revolution of tho serie adopted by the whites, os quotet above, breathes tho true spirit of cou ciliation and of justice towards tin newly emancipated slaves. It is ni disgrace to malo or female to engagi in tho work of inatructing and ele vating the doss referred to. The; havo been raised among us, hov* formed respectful friendships for th whites they have been reared wit] and by whom they were cored foi they will, in oil probability, remai: with us for many years to come. I it not, therefore, our duty-wo mea: the peculiar duty of the peoplo c tho South-to train and educate thct for tho station in lifo they are doi tined to occupy among us? Bul beyond self-interest, in thus mokiu useful citizens of tho colored popt lotion, it is indisputable that arnon all classes and races of men, kine ness begets kindness and confidence and this is just what we need boro o tho South at tho present time. A wo of races-at least, of active outage nism-between tho two population at the South, will be the consequenc of continued apathy and indifferenc by ns to tho wants and needs of thoa which the fortunes of war and th action of the Government have raise from bondago to freedom, and be stowed upon all tho franchises an privileges enjoyed by their former owner?. And these people have claims on the whites of the South which ought not to he overlooked or disregarded. After the first hilarity und joyous excitement naturally consequent upon their sudden enfranchisement had passed away, we find from all quarters of tho South, for tho past season, they have worked well, and the abun? dant crops which now gladden the hearts of tho Southern people fur? nish ample proof of their industry and determination to do their duty iu that sphere of lifo they have boen accustomed to occupj-, and generally aro destined to occupy. True, they work for wages, but that work might have becu dono less faithfully, and, consequently, with less favorablo re suite. They, therefore, deserve com? mendation as a class for tho orderly manner in which they havo conducted themselves; for the work they havo cheerfully performed, and for their evident desire to promote education, morality and virtue among thu rising generation of their own caste. Wo commoud this subject to the earnest consideration of our whole people. Let all do their part in aid? ing tho'freedmen in every laudable cutcrprise, in watching over their interests and encouraging in every way their efforts for self-elevation, and wc arc convinced there will be little cause of complaint against foreigners or strangers coming muong them to mislead them by their teach? ings. But let us fold our arms and look on with indifference, and it is easy to foresee thc result-estrange? ment, at least, between the two races', aud affording ample opportunity for designing men or politicians to lead our colored people astray. ? ?? ? ? FOR THE SOUTH.-A Masonic ova? tion, in aid of tho destitute and suffering Masons of the South, came off in New York, on Thursday even? ing, at tho Academy of Music, and proved a complete and gratifying success. The programme included musical performances, both vocal and instrumental, and nn address by Hon. James T. Brady, who was fre? quently applauded. We regret to announce that Mr. White, one of the proprietors of the Charleston Hotel, died on Saturday morning last. Mr. W. was au Irish? man by birth, but had resided for a number of years in Charleston. He was employed, in 1849, in the Charles? ton Hotel, and by au upright und manly course, became proprietor of the establishment. WON'T COMMUNICATE.-There is good rensou for saying that Mr. Johnson will not communicate of ficialy with Congress until that body has made known its plans and pur? poses. -<-??-? BATTLE OF FORT MOULTRIE.-This day was celebrated by the military authorities, in Charleston, as follows: At sunrise, a saluto of thirteen gnus was fired, and during the day the National ling was displayed on the public buildings occupied by the military authorities, thu forts and on the shipping. Civilians did not participate in the exercises of tho day further than Hocking in immense numbers to the Battery in the even? ing, to hear the delightful music dis? coursed by tho Post Baud. Un? fortunately for their calculations and pleasure-seeking, a steady rain com? menced falling just as the first piece of music hud been performed, and everybody was compelled to go away sorrowfully aud reluctantly. The London Ti mes, the great rep? resentative of popular opinion iu Great Britain, has a leader on the releaso of Jeff. Davis. Tho gist of the article is embraced in the follow? ing short extract: "With the release of Jeff. Davis it may be said that tho last scone of tho great civil war in America hos como to an edd. It is a worthy close of a great contest, nnd an act of moderation of which the people may be proud, and of which they are likely to recoivo tho benefit in the subsidence of angry passions, and tho restoration, or rathor tho crea? tion, of a national feeling pervadiug tho entire Union." Tn? WEATHER AND THE CROI\S.-On the 5th of June, it commenced to rain, and except about three days' intermission, it has rained moro or less every day since. Some of these rains were very heavy and necompn-, nied with strong winds, which have' damaged corn seriously. Owing to these protracted rains, crops on low lands got submerged, and with that and the grass--which has not been idle-wo fear the crops of nil kinds have become seriously damaged. I Darlington Southerner. _-j-: Congress. Tho National Republican Coinmit teo LaVo called tho members of -Con? gress to meet to-morrow in special session, the chief object being the revision of the reconstruction Acts. Tho correspondent of tho New York Herald telegraphs to that paper of Friday, and says: "Tue approaching session of Con? gress excites rather more than the usual degree of interest felt in tho meeting of that body. Tho question is asked on every hand, 'Will the coming session be a long ouo?' and the replies most frequently given iu? dicata the prevailing belief to be, that the session will be short. The members already herc, with one or two exceptions, have expressed hopes that tho business boforo Congress may bo speedily disposed of, and the majority of the letters from members at a distance express decided opposi? tion to a protracted summer session. Several members have written that they will bc in their seats when the roll is called, but will uot promise to remain to legislate upon any other question than that of reconstruction. Tho impression now exists that no? thing more will be done during the session than passing an Act denning and perfecting tbeShellabarger-Sher mau laws and voting an additional appropriation to cany them into effect. It is well known here, how? ever, that the champions of impeach? ment aro whetting their knives for another attack, and thc friends of financial reformation aro also on the 7'</' pire for an expected opportu? nity." Thc Aidi-Slavery Standard gives its programme as follows: "First the President must be 'de? posed from office,' in order to clear the way. Next, we must have, not an explanatory Act, but a -new law of reconstruction, with ?nore ample guarantees for our client*, the former slaves, and for all, loyalists.' Tho nation, 'which exists,* says the Stand? ard, 'by the generous anti timely aid of the blacks,' must give them a federal guarantee of their fut"re equality with the whites; in ocher words, the Constitution must be amended so as to give them perma? nently the right of suil'rage. In the third place, we must have 'confisca? tion of the large lauded estates of those engaged in the rebellion, aud free homesteads for the former slaves.' 'Add to this,' says the same journal, 'Mr. Sumner's measure for education, aud then a reconstruction will have been begun which, having the necessary conditions, will go for? ward to complete success.' We should think this would do for a beginning. Afterward, we suppose, Mr. Wade's Bohema for o redistribution of pro? perty will come in." - ? ? Financial. Tu THE EDITORS OF TITS PHOENIX : In times gone by, when, in the flou? rishing days of thc South Carolina College, Dr. Francis Lieber was au thorny on all questions of political economy, we were taught that that thing called money was a common medium of exchange, which had a value of its own-which value was readily ascertained. If the old hero of Waterloo were here to-day, we think it would pazzlo him to tell, or "ascertain readily," the true value of a ten dollar gold piece. Mark you, promissory notes, paper money, circulating medium, greenbacks, shinplasters, bills re? ceivable, city scrip, et id, ti'c., are not money, but simply representative substitutes. One of these substitutes -greenbacks-is to-day worth three per cent, per mouth on loan, aud yet it is nt a discount of from thirty-five to forty per cent., when compared with money. What, thou, is tho current relative value of tho coiu? Ruminating on this subject, our mind reverted to the fact that our flour barrel was empty, and we pro? pounded to ourself the following pro? blem, for a solution of which we must appeal to the student at college, or some four grocery merchants; for we cannot solve it. Flour, thirty days ago, was worth SIS per barrel; to? day, it has a nomiual value. Thirty days hence, we predict it will be worth not more than S8 per barrel. Now, how much specie will the pur? chaser huve to pay tho merchant thirty days hence for a barrel of flour received to-day, provided the barrel of-flour is then worth SS in green? backs-greenbacks being at a dis? count of thirty-five por cent., aud the credit, loan or use of the money being worth threo per cent, per month. We've thought the times peculiarly adapted to tho study of political eco? nomy, and '.-specially to that branch of it which treats of money; for in this way alono we aro reminded that there is such a thing as money. We novor seo ony of it. ADAM SMITH. A correspondent of tho Mobile ! Times, writing from Camden, Wilcox County, one of the most populous and wealthy regions in Mississippi, sayH: "I was particularly struck with tho frankness and wholeness of heart with which these people accept the terms of the reconstniction bill, I anxious to comply with every clause in full, and utterly ignoring them? selves in the desiro for preferment or aggrandizement. IaOOal ~Xt,GXXJLXC - Thc following ore the nominations of the Executive Committee for tho Convention to be held on the 24th of July: John Caldwell, C. H.

Terms $2 per annum. SCHOOL EXAMINATION.-W. II. Wigg, Esq., Superintendent of the City Male School, had a public ? x amination of his scholars, yesterday. int .Tanney's Hall. The school num? bers 11<> pupils, who were examined in reading, grammar, geography and arithmetic, and from their proficien? cy, reflcoted great credit on their preceptor, and nflbrded infinite satis? faction to those present. lu thc afternoon, thc ?ir.l? was thonged to its utmost extent to hear the exercises in declamation; aud to say that thc youthful orators acquitted themselves admirably is but faint praise-all knew their parts well, and required no prompting. About twenty pieces, embracing dialogues, poetry ami prose, were spoken. W. T. Walter, Esq., (who is undoubtedly the fathei of this institution, having workec faithfully to get it into successful operation, ) delivered premiums to tin following scholars, giving a few word; of pleasing advice and coinmcndntioi to each recipient: Perfect Attendance-Charles Hen nies, James McFie, Thos. B. McFii and Andrew Heidt. Recitations-Senior Boys-1st, A C. Squier;2d, Wm. D. Radcliffe. Ju uior Boys-1st, Wm. Ford; 2d, Jobi Altec. At the conclusion of tho exercises it was announced that there would b vacation for one month-the exercise to be resumed on Monday, the 29th. EXAMINATION OF SCHOLARS IN COLORED SCHOOL.-We attended pleasing exhibition, yesterday morn ing-the examination of thc femal scholars attached to Miss Lydia M< Dowells school for colored children on Charles Wilder's premises. Th teacher called the various subject rapidly, but, in a majority of ii stances, the scholars were equal) prompt in their answers. This is private institution-that is, not coi nected with the Freedmen's Bureai The intelligence and aptness di played by the scholars show that tl system used by the teacher is at mirably adapted to the capacity an intelligence of the pupils. There ai other schools for the education i colored children in this city, whic] I wo understand, are in a flourishir condition, and which we may hat an opportunity of noticing at son future lime.

DISTRICT NO. 2.-Our Northern exchanges publish tho following let? ter from General Sickles to Senator Wilson: H'DQUARTERS 2D JInA- DIST., CHARLESTON, S. C., June 18, 1807. Hon. Henry Wilson, Chief of Military Committee, United States Senate. MY DEAR SIB: It is probable, in view of existing circumstances, that Congress will convene in July. It is proper, therefore, I should' inform you that the appropriation of 65,000, 000 to execute the reconstruction Acts is alto;- thor inadequate. I am informed that my estimates for April and May are less than those of other District Commanders. Indeed, thc whole sum was moro than absorbed by thc estimates for May. For the Carolinas, ut least 0500,000 will be required. I have applied to the Navy and Treasury Departments for certain facilities, which, iu viow of the small appropriation, I presumed would bc granted, but my requests have not been favorably considered. I under? stand that the Secretary of the Navy assigned ns his reason that no aid must be expected from that depart? ment in the execution of the recon? struction Acts of Congress. The Secretary of tho Treasury expressed his desire to do all he coidd, but did not feel at liberty to make any ?dis? bursements for objects not precisely within the jurisdiction ot his depart? ment. It is usual, I believe, when the appropriation for an object au? thorized by Congress is insufficient, to make tiie necessary expenditures and trust to a "deficiency bill," but iu tho execution of these Acts this course will be impracticable, inas? much as the principal disbursements aro for tho services of persons who depend upon their pay for support. I have tho honor to suggest for your consideration, and of your colleagues as well, that the interests of the pub? lic service require, without delay, a further appropriation to execute the Acts of Congress for the government of the rebel States. Very respectful? ly, D. E. SICKLES, Major-General Commanding. POST OFFICE HOURS.-The office is opeu from Sa. m. until 3*? p. m., and from 6 until 7 p. m.

What ho has seen of it. though only in tho leading cities, must have given him very valuable impressions of the people, and their habits of thought and action; and tho more he sees of them the deeper will these impressions become. We venturo to say that if the President had understood tho people of the North-had appreoiated their peculi? arities and been able to sympathize with their sentiments and opinions, whether he agreed with them or not, we should have escaped that sharp political r.ntagonism wliich has so se? riously affected the process of recon? struction and so grievously disturbed the public peace. On the other hand, we are equally confident that if tho people of tho North had known liini better at tho outset, they would never have distrusted the integrity md patriotism of his purposes. Sen. Banks was quite right when he laid, the other day, in Boston, that he great want of tho people in the .arious sections of tho country was a metter knowledge of each other. THE ONE AMONG TEN THOUSAND. \. pastor in Boston, Mass., recently ?efused to accept an increase of hi's iresent salary, from $2,000 to $3,000, )n the ground that he had enough for di his needs, and that there were ?ersous iu his parish who could not ifford their proportion of any larger ?um.
