We invite attention to the circular letter of Brevet Major-General ll. K. Scott, Assistant Commissioner of tho Freedmen's Bureau for this State. The letter contains information of importance, and will be read by our planters with interest: GnAm.'ESTC??, S. C., January IG, 18G8. [Circular Letter.] The Government having again charged the Assistant Commissioner with tho duty of distributing food ?among the people of *his State, for the double purpose of preventing suffering from the destitution, now common in many localities, and to . enable the people to provide against a recurrence of the like destitution in , future, it becomes necessary, in order to accomplish, tho object designed, to adopt such a system of distribu- ? tion for the supplies thus loaned, as ; will most effectually both accomplish ? the objects above named, and insure ? to the Government the re-payment of its means. This end can only be attained by a well regid ated system of labor-for from such a Bystem alone can it bo expected that any de- : gr?e of prosperity will follow. It 1 will be found impossible to distri? bute food to tho needy thousands, as ] individuals, but only as communities. The sad experience of the post year i should have given a lesson of profit | to all. Hundreds of people were the , recipients of the charity of tho Go? vernment, who claimed to bo plant- | in g at tho timo they wore fed, but , who, upon investigation, were dis- ( covered to be either idling away their | time, or engaged in cultivating a ( small patch, tho whole products of < which could not subsist them for ] more than a month or two; others , received iud who were located on | barren and worn ont lands, upon j which, even by tho most severe | labor, it is impossible to produce a | subsistence; white yet a third class, | without any pecuniary means, enter? ed into arrangements whereby they gave one-half or one-third of their time to the land-owner, and during ? the remainder attempted to dig out a i subsistence for themselves, without , oither animals to assist them, or food ( to live upou. i To continue in these foolish nt- | tempts to obtain a livelihood will j result iu the complete prostration of i every interest of the country, and to ( foster such folly by squandering Go? vernment rations on ,such people would be criminal on the part of the agent charged with their distribution. It is, therefore, the intention of the Assistant Commissioner to issue , food in future, to the extent allowed by the Government, to those persons only who ho is satisfied are so em? ployed that they will be able to re? pay to the Government tho amount loaned, as well as to place themselves beyond tho possibility of want dur? ing the following year. To accom? plish this object, responsible persons will 1)0 appointed agents of distribu? tion in each locality where destitu? tion exists, who will bo hold strictly accountable for tho reliability and i industry of tho csnsumers. They | will be instrnoted to take from tut- I recipients'a bond, giving a lien upon tho crops to be grown, and other products of industry and personal property. Tho Assistant Commissioner must be .satisfied that each applicant has planted, or is about to plant, a sulli ciont number of acres in cereals lo ?usuro his provisions for tho next year without purchase. To parties "engaged wholly, or to an undue ox text, in the cultivation of cotton, no assistance will bc rendered, ihily appointed officers and agents of this Bureau will IK; instructed to fre? quently and carefully inspect the plantations of tbose "who are the re? cipients of assistance, and if it shall at any time be found that they are likely to fail to fulfill their obliga? tions, all necessary measures will be taken to protect tho interests of tho Government. The Assistant Commissioner de _:_, ?4. l_ .1_i - i M.. i .V onto AV w. MX, UliUCIDbUim, lUUl L11U amount of assistance tbat ho is au? thorized to render is limited, and it is, therefore, necessary that all per? sons who have private resources at command should avail themselves of such, these supplies being only in? tended by the Government to relievo the most extreme cases of destitu? tion. _ R. K. SCOTT. RETURN OF A LONG ABSENTEE. Lieut Thos. J. Simpson, formerly of the Confederate army, son of Mr. Wm. L. Simpson, the well-known cattle dealer, reached this city yes? terday, having been imprisoned since tho 3d of September, 18G4. Lieut. Simpson belonged to tho Seventh Virginia Cavalry, and resided in Loudon County when the war broke out. He was captured and sent to Camp Chase, Ohio, on tho 3d Sep? tember, 1864, whero he remained as a prisoner of war until the cessation of hostilities, when he was liberated. While registering his name nt tho Revere House, in Columbus, Ohio, he was assaulted by an officer in tho Arkansas cavalry, who inflicted two serious wounds on ?impsen. lueut. Simpson then wrenched tho weapon from the bauds of bis assailant and shot him in self-defence. He was thereupon placed in tho Ohio State Prison, where he remained until thc 7th of January, 1807, when he was forwarded to Littlo Rock, Arkansas, and tried before a military commis? sion, which resulted in his acquittal. He left again for his homo, in Lou? don County, Va., but had the misfor? tune of being blown up in a steam? boat and seriously injured, and after much suffering reached the home of his father, in this city, yesterday, much to the gratification of his wife and children and other friends. [Baltimore Sun, 13/7?. Thc Republican party is supposed to be engaged in making a platform for tho next Presidential election. Their beginnings do not promise any very brilliant success. They seem to be laboring under the impression that the election is to be held only in tho Southern States, and that the negroes aro tho only portion off our citizens whose votes require atten? tion. We fear they will discover their mistake, or wako from their delusion, when it is too late. The elections last fall ought to admonish them that tho people of the North ire not without misgivings as to tho teudency of events, and are not likely by any means to accept what? ever action tho Republicans may take. Thus far, this Congress seems likely to bo moro radical and oxtreme than thc last. Is it supposed that the temper of tho people is more radical than it was a year ago? [New York Times. A Mississippi newspapor notices i chango that hos recently taken place among the laboring population o? that State. A year ago, tho ne? groes had to be coaxed to work, whilst now, it says, "they aro asking for employment in numbers," dis? playing unusual uneasiness in thc matter. They begin to open tboii jyes to the truths that those pinching times grew greatly out of their own idleness and neglect of the fields. English Goods.
