? -rr-;-r~" Friday Moratory Beeember 31,1869. T*Km LMt Dary Ot 1809. The last dey of tho present year greets us to-day. Aa year after year passes by, we are reminded of the shortness of hu? man life. And the reflection naturally arises, that it is obviously wise to make the most of the fleeting years-tho most for time and tho most for eternity. On thia day, moreover, the question natu? rally occurs, aa to how wo havospent the year passing away. Have we improved tho time vouchsafed to us? Have virtuous or vicious acts predominated? Are we advanced in wisdom? Ara we nearer to or farther off than ever from that stan? dard which we are commanded to ap? proach ? In fine, does 1869 leavo ns bet? ter or worse, as men and oi tiren s. than it found ns? These are pregnant queries. Each one will answer for himself, and belter answer now than defer it until the questions are pat at the Bar of Judg? ment. At any rate, whatever our past may be, let ns see to it that we take oare of the pr?tent and tho future. As hoads of families, aa individuals, os members ol the State, let ns seo to it that we meet -at least hereafter-the demands of . dcty. The duties which we cwo to our God, to oar families and to our country -these comprise the business of life. On this day-the lost of tho present year -it is meet that mon should deliberately and calmly determine their futuro course. "Life is real," and we must not deal with it as if it.were a shadow. "Life is earnest," and we must not treat it with unbecoming levity. "The grave is not its goal," and we must not regard it as beginning and ending on "this dim spot, whioh men call earth." For our rendors we have no words but those of cheer. It is trae that our political situation is unpromising. It is true that at Wash? ington and Columbia our public affairs are sadly mismanaged, and often we find the "pillars of Statu" no moro than "whited sepulchres." It is truo that a kind of political madness rules the im? mediate present. But wo deem this state of affairs temporary only, and we expect to see, ero long, better and purer days. Tn the meantime, we commend our readers to that patience, pereevoronce and activity whioh will bring their re? wards in due season. It is said that "a brave man straggling with the storms of fate, is a spectacle fit for gods as well as men." As men, as a people of noble ancestry, let ns manfully and resolutely work ont our fortanes. If the fates seem adverse, if the battle seems to bc going against us, the more important it is that true and brave men pass to tho frout. In this spirit, let ns as men aud Caro? linians, resolve to meet the conflicts and duties ' that another year may bring with it "Heart within and God o'erhcad." Bullock dates his proclamation, bays the New York World, from Washington, convening the old piebald Legislature of Goorgia on January 10. Doing execu? tive duty from Washington as the capi? tal of Goorgia, in pursuauco of tho poli? tics of the period, is indeed appropriate. Now, do the conservatives of Georgia want to know how to pull tho teeth out of this lost Act romaudiug their Com? monwealth to military rule? Let less than a quorum of the Legislature con? vene ou tho 10th proximo. Let that less than a quorum adjourn over from day to day, as they would havo power lo do and as they should do, until January 16, tho regular time for the session to begin under the laws of the btate. Then let the conservative members-who aro in a majority, even counting in tho old negro members-proceed to re-scat these latter, iu accordance with thc recent decision of the Supremo Court of tho State, de? claring tho original expulsion of tho black brigade unconstitutional. Thc strongest requirement of tho lust law will then havo been met, but under State auspices and in concurrence with what has long been thu intention of tho Le? gislature itself; not under rump duress, as this bill contemplates. Such a course, too, while saviug the prido of the Stale, will so favorably affect tho returning le? gislators themselves as very possibly to win them ovor to the impeachment, con? viction, and deposition of Bullock ut thc proper season-a result which that car? pet-bagger too prematurely thought he had rendered out of tho question by Congressional tinkering in his behalf. ? ? ? ? - A. Beaufort correspondent of the Charleston News speaks thus dolefully of tho condition of the colored people in that vicinity: "The negroes in Beaufort obtained horses, furniture and provisions without cost, and land at a nominal price They have worked alter a fashion for threo or four years; for a long time they had the comfort and support of the Freedmen's Boroau. And now they are worse off than they were iu slavery timeB." The New York Times bas aa article on Mr. Sohenok'e loyal outburst in Con? gress, advorse to the proposed action for tho rcooption in tbio country of the re? mains of Mr. Peabody. It cays: "Beantiful Is the loyalty that ob ant? from the house-top's, that never'ceases to sing, in season and out of season, and makes an eternal hymn of ita own merits and sufferings. Beautiful among sing? ers is our own Sohenok, of Ohio, whose dissenting diapason of devotion to the Union mingled with tbe repelling gales that arrested the homeward journey of Mr. .Peabody's remains. All that the poor merchant seeks is a grave. All that his friends wish is honorable burial. All that the people desire is somo word of complimentary recognition of his deeds. For the deeds of this man shine out like the radiance of the sun, to be a sweet, noble, chastening influence to the end of time. Nor will our valiant General's discord dim it. The world is better, be? cause Mr. Peabody lived. We trust mon will say this of our loyal Representative, when he comes to take his rest under the daisies. We are not wanting in re? spect to the turbulent loyalty of onr gal? lant Representative, by taking a Christ? mas morning lesson from the story of Mr. Peabody's lifo. True charity is silent charity-we might say, true loyalty is silent loyalty." Yes, that might bo safely said, says the Baltimore Sun, and it could be easily proved, at loast to this extent, of any virtue, that tho stream which is deepest is less noisy and fretful that that which is shallowest. And perhaps it is equally safo to suspect tho profoundness and power of auy passion or sentiment which is moro frequently illustrated by words than action. Mr. Schonok does not stand alone, however, in the propensity to wear loyalty, at all seasons and on all occasions, in his button-hole, like an ar? tificial nosegay, which is not likely to be injured by exposure to any kind of weather. There is not a cheaper com? modity than this lip patriotism, and never was a word moro abused thou "loyalty" has been in this country. Thoro havo been as many crimes com? mitted in the name of "loyalty" as of "liberty." It cannot bo said of the mo? dern kind of "loyalty" that it is like "true charity," either in silenee, or in any of tho qualities attributed to that virtuo by the inspired penman, especially where ho says that charity "boasteth not itself" and "thinketh no evil" of others. Self-assertion and evil thinking aro of the very essence of modern "loyalty." Wo cannot conceive that this country eau lose anything in reputation, or risk Lhe encouragement of disloyalty among its citizens, by honoring such a mau as Mr. Peabody. To impeach his loyalty partakes of the samo suicidal folly which represents all of tho American people who do not sanction the political policy of the dominant party as disloyal, a pro? position which, if it could bc established, would prove that at least half tho people of this country are unfaithful to their own Government. If such a monstrous scandal were credible, what would be its effects upon the reputation of tho Go? vernment? When, iii addition to this, it is insinuated that a man like Mr. Pea? body, whoso whole lifo was so illustrious for virtue und boueficenco that nations and crowned heads have risen up to do him honor, was disloyal, tho world will conclude that such a charge is us damag? ing to a Government which could not command thc approval of such a man, ns to him to whom it is imputed. For Innately, no ono believes thc imputation of disloyalty, either ns concerns Mr. Peabody or the millions of Americans who aro not extremists. Mr. Peabody nover iu his lifo exhibited any indication of disloyalty, except that it was his cus? tom to bestow benefits, and not to bo a recipient of them, especially those of a pu lil ic, character. In those Christmas times let us cultivate tho charitable hopo that George Peabody was as puro a pa? triot as even General Schenck, and that his deeds will he us prolific of future blessings to the country, both in tho les? son of virtuo which muy be learned from his example, iu tho relief of human sor? row, and in tho diffusion of the means of education, as tho most patriotic oratory that has been rampant of lato years in Congress. ?--? THE CUBA MATTER.-The New York j Journal of Commerce, roviewing tho latest j batch of diplomatic correspondence on I tho Alabama question, expresses thc con? viction that un abler statesman than Mr. Fish could huvc found u wuy of recogniz? ing the Cubans without prejudicing in tho loast our claims against England. Tho real blunder the administration has been guilty of, the editor thinks, is deny? ing tho voico of national sympathy to Cubu, aud thereby defeating the free annexation of that island to this country, in order that Eugland might not charge us with inconsistency, when, in fact, wo might havo recognized Cuba months ago, and still had as good a cause os ever against England for her alleged precipi? tate recognition of the Confederacy bofore j its belligerency had been fairly estab? lished. Jeff. Davis has been left $10,000 by an English woman. ? ??! Vim 1 M. i* H J . , i IV.aHh aad Hovr fe Alt?la lt. -1 The following remarks on tba above subject, whioh we talus from the Manu? facturer and Builder, weoommend to onr readers: "There is one important practical truth connected with this subject, and one that can never be told toe often, aa upon it depends the comfort of the great man of our people. It is this: that in order to bo wealthy, that is, to have such a competence as secures independence and comfort, men must save. Would that it might be written a hundred times upon tbis page, and each one cf tho hundred read a hundred times. To save, is the practical point of the subject, and the one that should ever be insisted on. It matters not what may be the theory of political economists as to wealth and the means of production, unloss it bo one which can bo practised by the great mass of tho laboring peoplo. The products nf labor, or wealth, are constantly changing, constantly being consumed in nse, and must be constantly renewed; thorofore, mau may as well accept, with? out a murmur, the fact that he must lead a live of labor, and not of play. It is unwise, and, in the main, useless, for the majority of the activo men of to-day to seek for large fortunes, that is, to become millionaires, simply because it is impos? sible. But on tho other hand, there is no reason why our industrious laborers of all sorts should not become possessed of sufficient wealth for comfort. The great trouble lies in tho fact that voling men do not begin to save while they aro young. All who will begin eorly by sav iug will hud a happy surprise in a few years, in the verification of tho Scotch? man's proverb, that 'many a little makes a mickle.' Put two dollars in tho sav? ings bank at tho age of twenty, and cou tiuue to do so each week until fifty, and there will bo a snug little fortuuo for a mau and wife; fail to do this, and thoro will bo nothing. Begin by small savings rather than not begiu nt all, for tho liueat showers often begin with a few gentle drops. One great causo of tho poverty of tho present day is, tho fuilnro of our common peoplo to appreciate small things. They feel that if they caunot Bave largo sums they will not Bave any? thing. They do not realizo bow a daily addition, be it ever so ?mall, will soou make a largo pile. If tho young mon und yonng women of to day will ouly begiu, aud begin now, to save ii little from their earnings, and plant it in the soil of some good savings bank, and weekly or monthly add their mite, they will wear a happy sinilo of competence and independence when they reach mid? dle lifo. Not only thc pile will itself in? crease, but tho desire and tho ability to increase it will also grow. Let clerk and trudesman, laborer and artisan, make now, and at once, a beginning. Store np somo of your youthful force and vigor for futuro contingency. Let parents teach their children to begin early to savo. Begin at the fountain-head to con? trol tho stream of extravagance, aud the work will bo easy. Ohooso between poverty und riches. Let our youth go on in habits of extravagaooe for fifty years to como, as they have for fifty years past, aud wo shall be a uation of beggars, with a moneyed aristocracy. Let a genera? tion of such as save in small sums bo reared, and we shall ba freo from all waut. Do not be ambitious for extrava? gant fortunes, but to seek that which is the duty of every one to obtain- inde? pendence and a comfortable homo. Wealth, and enough of it, is within tho reach of all. It is obtainable by ono process, and by one only-saving."' -? # ? ?

EDITOR: WO havo heard all our Utrea of the "Bara Avis," and so? send him to you in the shape ol . white hawk, killed on the 29th, at Deadfall, in New? berry, by Thomas 8. Blair, Esq. It is the mate and female of tho common largo rabbit hawk, and has been seen in this immediate settlement often, e*er sin oe 1864. It measures four and-a-half feet from tip to tip. An old widow here says it catches two chickens at a grab. Yon see nature herself revolts at tho new order of things nnd ia struggling for white supremacy. I suppose naturalists would call him an Albino, but he turned white at the wrong timo and must there? fore be reconstructed by being skinned, gutted, and stuffed with chaff, juBt as wo are being dono by now politically. Bo we desire, after having eyed it to yonx satisfaction, that yon present it to who? ever hos charge of tho natural curiosities of tho South Carolina University, to be stuffed, reconstructed nud set by the side of the white owl. If this cannot be done, make it u present to the proprietor of tho Exchange House. Yours Sec., J. M. WARD. [The hawk will romain on exhibition at tho PHOENIX office to-day, nnd will then be disposed of ns tho Captain di? rects.] A correspondent of ibo Charleston News, writing from Florence, S. C., says : Last week tho giu-hou.se of Mr. Petor Coggeshaii, near here, was totally de? stroyed, with its contents of cotton, cot? ton seed, tte. On Saturday morning, before day, tho store of Messrs. Wine burg ?Sr Strauss was fired, and the pro? prietor? and clerks came near being suffo? cated in tho burning building. The work-shops of Mr. John H. Husbands, adjoiniug, caught, nud were utterly de? molished. All those fires were tho work of incendiaries, nnd except that Messrs. Wineburg Sa Strauss, who were partially insured, the losses have to bo boruo solely by the unfortunate owners. I see a pnragraph in yonr issue of the 25th, that Mr. E. M. Davis had mttr dered n negro. This is nu error. Tho circumstances were that Mr. Davis got into a difficulty with a merchaut here, in which harsh language was used. The merchaut drew a aword and Mr. D.ivis a knife. Arthur, Mr. Davis'body servant, got between the belligerents to protect his former master and to stop bloodshed. lu doiug this, he caught a blow, not aimed nt him, which entered the main artery of tho leg, and Arthur died the next day from loss of blood. Up to the hour of his death ho expressed hisstroug attachment to bis old master, and said he did not wish him arrested, for he never iutended to barm him. This at? tachment was reciprocal, and none re? grets Arthur's loss moro than Mr. Davis. Mr. Davis is one of our most respectable and esteemed citizens, and has tho sym? pathy of the wholo community, white and colored, in tliis unfortunate accident, which ho regrots. How SOME OF THE SENATORS LOOK. WO copy as follows from the Washington correspondence of the New York Tri bunt : Parson Brownlow, the Richelieu ol Tennessee, still sits tho murk of curious, wondering eyes, with tho look of a dying man, but with his old obstinate spirit ol vitality aud fight strong iu him yet-out? wardly, all n tremble with disease; in? wardly, all will aud fixed rosolve-an aspen with the heart of an oak. Simon Cameron seems still vigorous, and boars in his high-bred fnco the shrewd, saga? cious look of a man who sees deep und far-in his cool, cautious way, a political prophet. Senator Nye looks what bo is a man of "infinite jest" and bonhomie. Carl Schurz sterns to the manner sena torial born-has tho air of an elegant scholar, and happily retains but few mark: of tho soldier. Tho two blondes of the Senato-Conk ling, of New York, and Stewart, of Ne vada-aro esteemed men of mark by thc galleries. They como as they went-th* ono with his glossy pot curl still lying, like a sunny peuiusuln, in tho broad i expauso of his brow-tho other looking j as though tho winds of tho Sierra wert I yet playing with his wild locks-ont ? dainty, the other caroless-ono tho las result of Eastern civilization, tho other i representative Western man of the beal typo. Both are men of admirable ability, but one knows it and tho other doesn't or ono is alert, and tho other is a little luzy. Mr. Carpenter, of Wisconsin, of whose oloquenco we havo heard sud great things, looks, on tho whole, up tc his reputation. Ho is dark and power fully made. Peoplo say he is like Web ster, but I confess I can't seo it. Ht wolks about tho Sonato chamber witt his hands in his pockets, in au easj Western swing, which is too full of rca manliness to bo a swagger, and too euer getic for a saunter, yet suggests both. THE SPANISH GUN.BOATS.-Yesterday afteruoon, at half-past 2 o'clock, Com modoro Casariego and Captains Tragus ' Ponegro and L.iguoillu, of tho Spauisl licet of gun-bouts which recently arriv?e iu our waters, in company with Sonoi Moneada, tho Spanish Consul, paid ai official visit to the city authorities. Aftei viewing tho Council Chamber, tho part; adjourned to tho Clerk's office, when Roberts, messouger and caterer of Conn eil, had spread a collation. T teer o senti meuts were exchanged, and toasts t< tho respectivo Governments mutually pledged. Tho officers subsequently visit ed the Custom House, and last evening wore present at tho Academy of Mnsic The gun-boats will remuin boro sovern days, and it is not improbable that th i port will be made the rendezvous for th wholo fleot beforo proceeding to Cubai waters.-Ckarlesion Courier, 29ft, James Garrett, tho colored man win was run over at Aiken on Friday last died on Monday, from the effect of hi injuries. ac *> ? ni ne m?. HAJJ- RATE MESSAGES.-On tod after January 1, 1870, the Western .Union Telegraph Company will receive mes? sages At and for all stations on their lines, East of the Mississippi River and Weet ol the Province of Now Brunswick, for transmission during the night, at one half the usual tariff rates; provided, how? ever, that the tolls on any message at half rates shall not be less than twenty cents. These messages ore required to be written upon half rate message blanks, which oan be obtained by application nt the offices of the Company. Messages to bo transmitted at half rates will be received at any hour during the day, be? tween 8 o'olook a. m. and 10 o'clock p. m., at all offices which are open between thoso hours. The Company re?oives messages to be transmitted at half rates, upon lb? express condition that it shall not be liable for errors or delays in the transmission or delivery, or for non? delivery of any message beyond the amount received for sending tho same. CRUMBS.-A friend has furnished ns a copy of tho "South Carolina Stale Ga? zelle and Columbia Advertiser," for May 14,1822, printed by Daniel Faust. Many of our old residents will be highly grati? fied by a perusal of its columns. The merchant who has been for some time bent on pleasure, is at last brokon. AM examination has disclosod tho fact tliat each member of Congress hus had four tons of books and documents to send ont uudor his frank in two years. It is estimated that it would requiro over $700,000 in postage stamps to have these documents transported to the persons for whom they were intended. "People," says a modern philosopher, "go according to their brains; if these liejin their head, they study; if in their stomach, they cat; if in their heels, they dance. " Thc year 1870 will havo ??iy-three Sa? turdays. It comes in and goos out on Saturday. From thcadvertisement iu our columns, it will bo seen that the Citizens' Savings Bank of this city allows interest at tho rate of seven per cent, per annum on certiQcates of deposit, and six per cent, compounded evory six months, on ac? counts. It is said that old shoes aro melted u p and made into combs. Then, instead of "shoe-fly," it's them other that congre? gate in the hair that aro "shoed."

REDUCTION IN PRICE - CLUBBING. -The WEEKLY GLEANER contains moro reading matter than any other family paper pub? lished in tho South-thirty-two long columns, printed in clear type. It is filled with original as well as selected matter-editorials, correspondence, gene? ral nows, markots, telegrams, interest? ing stories, sketches, poetry, etc. Dur? ing the early part of the coming year its columns will bo graced by u highly entertaining nouvelletle, the production of a lady of this city, and which bas been pronounced by disinterested critics as equal to tho very best of "Marion Harland's" works. This story is entitled "Orkney, or the Fortunes of Juliet Clay? burn-a talo of thc Palmetto State," and will run through about twenty numbers of tho "GLEANER."

With the gin-house were consumed twelve bales of cotton, and cotton seed from about sixty bales of cot? ton; loss estimated at about $3,000.

A SPLIT IN THE RADICAL RANKS.-The Atlanta Constitution says street rumor bas it that Bullock's Georgia bill has split tho radical party effectually. If the Democrats remain firm, Bullock can't carry his own party in the Legislature. The Morton bill will only be a. stick in the Democratic hands to break Bullock's head with. Ronben Blalock was found, on Christ? mas morning, in Hillsboro, N. C., on his bcd, with his skull broken and bis throat cut entirely across, a rope tied around his neck, and his mouth stuffed with rags. This foul murder was perpetrated in tho very heart of the town. Au inflammatory proclamation has been circulated in Havana, calling tho citizens to arms in the cause of the in? surgents. Tho authorities have searched many suspected houses, and forty well known citizens hnvo been ordered to leave at ouce. for Spain. Tho President has signed the joint resolution suspending tho law of 1850 regarding the census. This prevents tho old law from taking effect on January 1st, and gives the Senate an opportunity to discuss the Houso bill now before them.
