<X)LUMBIA. ---1-'-1--,- - ...r Wednesday Morning, Deo. 20.1867. ChrbtmBi. 'Whatever muy be tue lowering aa? ltet of the firmament, earthly or heavenly, Christmas day brings with lt * burst of sunshine for those who hawe yet to tread the rough and Aorny paths of life. Christmas day 2? peculiarly the children's holiday, ?nd he who has no sympathy with tfcksir innocent enjoyment must be de? void of all kindly emotions, or those feelings which refine and elevate kumau nature. Lifo is too short and Sha days of childhood too fleeting to .curtail the enjoyment of the little 'raes. Smiling faces, kind words, suitable juvenile gifts, will make home happy, and that happiness will . "foe transfused throughout the whole Soxnily circle. Let parents and elder ?embers of their families do all in .ftie?r power to promote this family sunshine. O? couree, at many a hearth-stone ? tue or moro places will be vacant in the family circle; but while we may regret the death or temporary ab -eenco of tho missing occupante of the - ?meant chairs around the Christmas dinner-table, we should not throw a ?gloom over the happiness of those still left us, by vain repinings or jfcuifleas grief; the present is all tin it ve can call our own; it is our duty, 'therefore, to contribute as much os .Sea in onr power to the happiness of , ettxeis. And in this connection we , .-jnay repeat from Scripture, tho poor i vire-have always with us, and if eve iSiere- was a season when benevolence, ? .Sowing, full and free, should be oxer- ; cise'd, it is on this festal day. Thou- : sands have no Christmas dinner to- 1 -Say, and many thousands have not j clothing sufficient for the inclemency. ? of the season. Every Christian I should be up and doing what h?> is -able, to cheer andjeomfort the Buffer- ' ung poor; and every one who hos the ? '.means, bo he professing Christian or .. not, -should remember the poor to ?ay:-if he does, it will go well with 'hi rn We extend to all our friends und jenders tho cordial wish that they imay have a merry Christmas. Terrible Su rte ring. The New Orleans Times gives an ?jiiuming report of the condition of Uno m groes in Louisiana, and parti? cularly in the Parishes overflowed by the breach in the levee at Point <3onpe. Thirteen Parishes havo be? come totally unproductive by the fereach, and all classes of the popula? tion arc in a state of severe privation. Fovcrtj' is scarcely the unme for the deplorable condition of the people of these Districts. But bad as is the . condition among the planters and' ?white inhabitants, that of the negroes *s ctill worse. Upward of 20,000 of ?IkjjE class are at tho point of starva . ?tion, and almost entirely destitute of 'l!is necessaries of life. Unless 6omo speedy relief comes, tho lamentable consequences will be scarcely calcu ?able. 20,000 negroes starving! What a .result of misguided philanthropy and luise political teachings! Never ho icre, no matter what the impoverish? ed-condition of tho whites may have beor., wcro negroes allowed to starve. Bot it is useless now to discuss the nonscs of tho wide-spread privation *ihat exists, and must exist, through? out the winter, especially among this class of people. It is idle to do* tounce, as wo see somo of our co temporarics do, the unwise legislation that bab produced theso sad results. Thc moro important question is how to eave theso people from perishing Joe lack of food. It is not their fault that they aro iu their present condi? tion; and tho Government ought to ?ond swift relief to them, which they sue bound to do by every obligation of right as well as of humanity. THE BAPTIST BANKER.-Tho first ?.umber of tho seventh volume of thc Baptist Banner will bo issued in Au g-ufita, on the first Saturday in Janu? ary, and will bo published thereafter cm every Saturday.

Scott, 1 the present Assistant Commissioner Df the Bureau for this State, would be retained in his position until fur? ther orders, has given general plea? sure to those who, though not friends of the institution, desired to 300 it conducted with judgment nnd sound discretion. Since Qen. Scott us 8umed charge of tho Bureau he has endeavored to control it for the bene? fit ot those for whom it was de? signed; nnd tho destitute poor of the city, both white and bluck, have fre? quently had cause to appreciate its aid. Without entering upon a pany geric of the Bureau, it is not, there? fore, improper at this time to con? sider some of its workings, and award praise whero it is duo. In August last it was decided to discontinuo the distribution of ra? tions to the destitute, and numbers who were dependent on the Bureau for a support wore thrown upon their own resources. The compara? tive failure of tho crops, which was followed by a scarcity of money, in? creased the destitution, especially among the laboring classes; many of whom were thrown out of employ? ment. At his urgent solicitation, however, Gen. Scott was allowed to continuo tho bounty of the Bureau to a limited extent. The number of registered beneficiaries in this city and the suburbs was about 500 whites and 800 MACIC?. most of the former being widows with large families. It would have been harsh, indeed, tu have at once deprived thia number of destitute poor of their doily food, and Gen. Scott applied to the Chid Commissioner, Gen. Howard, foi permission to establish soup houses for the poor. This was grau ted, and as soon as authority to purchase ne? cessary meat is obtained, they will bc opened and the bounty dispensed, The Government at Washington hu; among its army stores a large quanti? ty of desicatcd vegetables put up ir hermetically sealed cans. These art now nearly useless for army purposes ind if sold at auction would bring r mere song. Gen. Scott bas appliec For a portion of these stores, and wil ase them as ono of tho ingredients o the soup. Tho houses for distribu tion will be established at the Colorei Orphan Asylum in Queen street, am in King street, one door above Hud son, and it is expected they will bi opened to the pubHc on the first o thc mouth. In addition to tho rations fur nished, the Bureau has distributed quantity of clothing, shoes, tte During tho past year, over 1,50 over-coats were given to the pooi principally aged and infirm negr men. At present, these supplies ar confined to the colored women, wh are constant applicants for tin bounty. The changes recently made b Gen. Scott, in the discharge of sevi ral of his officials for meddling wit politics, have been sustained by Gm Howard. Some of tho parties wh were discharged wont to Washingtoi and endeavored to procure thei re-iustalment, but failed to convine the authorities of their innocenci aud only enjoyed their trouble f< their pains. NEGRO BARBARISM ix HAITI. special telegram to the Herald, whit we printed yesterday, confirms tl report of the murder of Gen. Lee Montes, in the dungeon at Cai Haytien. Tho original report wi bal enough; but, bad as it was, left us in comparative ignorance 1 tho actual facts of the oise. Tl details, as wo now hnvo them, a horrible in the extreme. Kept wit out food for four days, dosed wil poison, smothered to tho extent which available strength could sm ther him, ho is only deprived of li at last by repeated stabs in the ski with a chisel. This, however, w not all. Tho brother of tho nunderi man, who had in the meantime bei captured, was chained down to t! bloody bed on which this deed wickedness had been perp?trale Tho only relieving feature in tl barbaric picture is the nunounc fact that tlio parents of the broth? Montes havo been driven to despei tion. It is to ho borne in mind tl; this barbarity hos beou accomplish hy official command. What is t lesson? Do we require to state : Were it not for tho special benefit our Now England philanthropists, should ho ashamed to do so. This a specimen of negro civilization; tl is what tho negro can do when left govern himself; this is an illustr?t! beforehand of what is to bo expect from negro supremacy in tho Soul A word to tho wise is not lost. Ev tho unwiso sometimes learn. G save tho South from such masters. [New York Herald COUNTERMANDED.-Tho Beimel ville (S. C.) Journal learns, fron reliable source, that the order disci tinning tho military posts at Darlii tou and tho Pee Deo country 1 been countermanded, and that th military pv>sts will bo continued formorly. The negro in the Atlanta Conv tion (Bradley) was Rufus Choal body sorvant, and that it was wi answering tho door of Choate's o? aud dusting tho tablo that ho quired his proficiency ns a lawyer. A correspondent o? the Anti-l SUtnery Standard . say? tba* Gen. Grant waa opposed to the impeach ment project-saying that "tho coun? try needed repose and that all.ex? treme measures should be at once abandoned by Congress." What? ever the Standard may think ol ic, we believe the great body ~ pf the people will agree with Gen. Grant in this sentiment. Tho country does qeed repose. It needs it,more than anything else just now-unless^ it be tile wisdom and good sense which re? pose will bring, if anything can. Until tho country gets repose, it is not likely to get anything else it needs. All the great interests of the nation-material, moral and politi? cal-axe suffering for lack of it. And Gen. Grant can give it to us if anybody cnn.-New York Times. THE FRUITS OP RADICALISM.-A friend in New York, writing to ono ... ...... BGI- o. papo. date of the 21st, incidentally re? marks: "The Navy Yurd to-day dis? charged a,600 hands, H. B. Clafliu 200, A. T. Stewart about the same number, and all the dry goods houses are following their example-made necessary by the great decline in their trade. It is estimated that over 60,000 persons will be without em? ployment in this city during tho win? ter." This is one of tho fruits of the suicidal legislation fastened ou the country by the radical-negro-supre? macy party.-Augusta Chronicle.
