COLUMBIA. Saturday Morning. Hov. 28. lt Th? Bankrupt Aot. The o nly boon whioh hos beep con? ferred upon the South by Congress, since the War, ia the Bankrupt Aot. Oar people, like all agriculturists, have boon very slow in appreciating its blessings, and few, in comparison to tho numbers at the North, have availed themselves of its great ad? vantages. Thd period in whioh, by the limitation of the Act, a person may take this Aot, without paying some proportion of his debts, is rapidly drawing ito a close. After the 1st of January next, none, except thoso who can pay fifty per cent, of their dobie, -will be allowed tho privi? leges of thia Aot. It is, therefore, a mutter of the greatest importances to oar planters speedily to take ad? vantage of the time between this and January next. There are thousands of our planters hopelessly involved in debt by the resulta of the war, and will drag out a miserable existence, if they do not relieve themselves of their legal liabilities by throwing off the burden at onoe and beginning life anew. It ia the greatest folly to delay, .under the circumstances. Some planters have a foolish notion that it is dishonorable to take this Aot, that they will strive to pay all their jost debts. While we respect the sentiment, taking the Act affords the only opportunity they have to save themselves from the embarrass? ment and vexation of constant liti? gation, and to i.ccumulate property to pay off their creditors at their will. Tho law does not relieve them from the moral responsibility of doing what, to them, seems best, after they are declared bankrupt. England has had a Bankrupt Act for 200 years, and her people are a century ahead of America in lessons of honesty. Let no planter lose the golden opportunity now present? ed by Congress, by apy hypocritical notions of honesty. ? ? >-? General O. O. Howard has issued his order providing for the discontinu? ance of the Freedmen's Bureau after January 1, with the exception of the educational department and the col? lection of money dne soldiers. The military officers will be relieved and the civilians will bo discharged, with thc exception of from six to ten offi? cers and clerks in each State, who will be retained to conduct the resi? di? of business. The following offi cors will be allowed in this State: Assistant commissioner and chief superintendent of schools ; one dis? bursing officer for educational de? partment and payment of claims ; two agents for payment of bounties ; two assistant superintendents of schools ; three clerks. CONTRACTION-SPECIE PAYMENTS. It looks as if a strong pressure would bo brought upon Congress at the coming session to compel a contrac? tion of the currency by retiring the legal-teuder notes. Already a return to specie payments is talked of in the shortest time possible, and there are some who think it can be done by merely passing a law saying that pa? per is gold. In proof of this, it is said that foreigners and capitalists are buying up greenbacks in New York and elsewhere, anticipating that specie payment will be resumed in the not very distant future. Sena? tor Morton has already foreshadowed a bill that he has prepared looking to the redemption of greenbacks ; and in addition the Washington Even? ing Express Hearns^ that a funding bill, like that passed by tho last ses? sion, will be presented and forced through Congress if it can be done. The Republican party are not harmo? nious, however, on the flnanoial ques? tion. Mr. Butler's pertinacity in ad? hering to tho greenback theory may defeat the efforts of the contraction ists and specie-paying advocates. Be? sides, the West must be conciliated, and this is no easy matter. < ? ? ? Dr. G. W. Lowinan, who was re? cently appointed one of the County Assessors for Lexington, by Governor Scott, declines accepting the office. Cable despatches assert that regret is felt that none of tho workingman's candidates, who failed for want of! money and organization, will bo in tho House of Parliament to represont that new element in the Government. ! - .j- ?

Tho day was olear and cloudless, and at an early hom- >i vast concourse of people were assem? bled av ? appointed grounds, to witness tue prowess of tho gallant knights, whose names I give below each sustaining most admirably the knightly characters, which they had for.the. nonce assumed s E.

Wilson, Dutch Fork, i At holf-past ll,,they rodejinto the field, .escorted by ? band of music. Proudly prancing chargers came. Bearing Knights of every name. The exercises wore well conducted, the attentive Marshals keeping ex? cellent order and the honorable Judges-Cob E. Ware, Dr. J. L. Woodside, Capt J. Arnold, Dr. H. C. Epting-deciding skill and awarding prizes, with prompt impartiality. The first prize was awarded to H. M. Perry, Who crowned as Queen of Beauty fair, A maid whoso name was Anna Ware. The second prize was awarded tc J. C. Sullivan. Third prize to V. E. McBeo, who chose as first and seconc maids, Miss Anna Smyre; Miss Min nie Gower. And all went merry as ? marriage bell. Long will tho memo ry of that gala day linger in these hearts of ours. Ah ! It carried u? back to the days of ancient chi valry. And we sighed to thinl knight-errantry was no more, anc that the glorious, though fabulous days of Don Quixote, had pass?e away, never to return. And that th< gallant Maclvor, before us, with hi waving plumes and knightly bearing was not the real chieftain of th Highlands, but only a passing aeto for one brief spell. But we shouli not cloud the present with reflection; on the past. So, gallant knights, your course is run, Your parts wero well, ah, thrico well done Long will we of your prowess toll, And now, bravo chieftains, fare-you-well. _ MAGGIE. GEN.

MM The Presidout called the attention of the Senate to the provisions of the Constitution relative to filling the vacancy in the office of Lieutenant Governor. By reference to the 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th Sections of Article III, it will be seen that in the ab? sence of, thc death, O? resignation of, the Lientenant-Governor, the duty devolves upon tho Senate to elect a person to fill the vacancy. The Pre? sident said he merely threw out the suggestion to the Senate, as perhaps it might be desirable on the port of the body to elect an officer, and not remove from thc floor one o' iii oil working members. There is much business and labor to be performed by the members, who, he thought, would be taxed to the utmost extent of their ability, and by electing a member of the Senate, or a member of the House of Representatives, tho member so elected will vacato his seat. The Constitution did not pre? vent them from electing any person who was eligible and a resident of the State. Mr. Hayue offered a resolution, which waa agreed to, that on Wednes? day next, tho Sonato consider tho subject of the election of a Lieute nant-Governor, to fill the vacancy oc? casioned by the resignatiou of the Honorable Lemuel Boozer, and, if deemed advisable,"go into an election to fill that office.

Lyles against the declara? tion of tho result of the eleotion for Senator for Fairfield County, George W. Barber being declared Senator, on account of the illegalities and in? formalities of the election Mr. Hayne moved that the member elect be sworn, and the protest refer? red to the Committee on Elections, which was agreed to.
