Wfi?nt?'ay ttorr^p^, Jahaary 24 jjfaj Tte? Wlnnaboir? New? and ' Oar Voa ? g Sometime since a oomraunicaiion ap? peared in the columns of tue Winnsboro News calli cg the yoong men of the State to the rese?e. . The idea, in some respects, ?B a good one, Sod shonld be entertained by . both the old and the young. The campaign of next autumn mast be a desperate one, if honesty is to win the day against corruption and villainy. Affairs have reached Bach a crisis that they cannot remain stationary. The revolution must go still farther; the ring mast exhibit still further evidonoo of their "dnbridled audaoity/-or else a rovulsion will, of necessity, ensue, and the innate qualities of honesty and virtue once more assert .themselves, and take the proud position they once held in our brighter days. The former alter? native is impossible; there is no insult which has not been offered; there is no villainy that has been left undone; there is no crime which has not been perpe? trated; there is no outrage upon a de? fenceless .people that lins not been in Uictcd. - .Weean congratulate '^ourselves that- our cup of -misfortune -has been filled,und' any other att?mpt will only cause it to run,over. Such beiug-the cuso,*ro can cherish the secret hope that better days may soon dawn on us. Through the gluss of faith We fancy, wo see the silver lining ??to-tho dark cloud, proclaiming that the glorious sun will soon 6hed his rays, warming and revivifying oar chilled limbs, and infusing now life and new vigor in our breasts. Bat faith without works is dead. Yuin speculations and idle dreamings ar? of no avail in these matter-of-fact days. Success can only be achieved by cease? less labor; and if we expect to redeem our State, wo. must pull off oar coats and work manfully. Oar next campaign must be characterized by lesa talking and more-Work. . A dozen quiet, ener? getic workers will aid'a canse moro than twice the number of orators, with all their rhetorical flowers. The majority of tho voters in our State are just such mea as can be best influenced in a qniot way. They are naturally of a good disposition, easily 'influenced for good or for evil. It ia not the eloquence of a Chamberlain, bat the qaiet influence of the league, whioh at every eleetion rolls np snob majorities. Now, what we need is jost such hard workers as have been described. In every County, in every township, these should be found, ever on the alert, making the best of every opportunity presented to them, Ia matters of coun? cil, let the wisdom of age and experience direct; but for work, auch as is required by the political necessities of the hour in South Carolina, we must depend upon and call into exercise the active energies of youth. Upon our young men rosta the fnture destinies of the common? wealth. Impeachment Revived. A resolution to impeach Robert K. Scott, Qovernor of South Carolina, foi high crimes and misdemeanors, was in? troduced into the House of Representa? tives, by Whipper, yesterday, and laid over, uuder the rules, We admire this oolored member's persistency in endea? voring to hold to account him who, while Ohief Magistrate of the commonwealth, has been the chief robber of tbe public Treasury. There is indeed but the re? motest, if any hopes, of a successful im? peachment of Gov. Scot' before the pre? sent Legislature. Por, besides the acknowledged venality of a majority ol that body, and their slavish subserviency to the power and patronage of Scott, not a few of tho' most influential and active members, both in the House ami Senate, have boen participants in, or ac? cessories to, all his criminal transactions and they are well aware that a full and searching investigation into the offioia misconduct of his Excellency would dis dose numerous ugly incidents in theil own career that might result in a lengthy sojourn on the banks of the Congarco at Mr. Stolbrand's pets. But thojgh the efforts of Whippet and those who sustain him in tho move ment against Scott and the ring b< futile, in so far as his aotual remova from office is concerned, their zeal ii commendable. They are working ii the line of duty and of right, and what ever sinister motives their enemies ant Scott's paid sycophants may charg< against them, it is bat fair and just t< presume that they ore actuated by ear nest convictions and an honest desire t< repair, so far as they can, the evils tba have bean brought'upon the State b; a corrupt administration of the govern > ment which was foisted into powc j, nartly through their own instrumenta j ^fty. They owo it to themselves, if the; ? crt 2 i W id ?. poor misguidod colored. peopla of the State, who were cajoled into planing in power "j&e naen who bate fr btseljr: abused their :?onfld?nee, td denouncej the corrupt praotioos of Scott and his minion* in the severest terms, and to show that they, at least, are not infected with that taint of theft whiob, if one mast judge of the party by ita leading representatives, is the oharaoteristio ele? ment of Republicanism in. South Caro? lina. 77 lief the lineof demarcation be drawn, and if there be honest Republicans in the General Assembly, let them show themselves, and show to the people at tho same, time, who those are that are false to the trusts reposed in them, and barter the rights of the people for Scott's gold. It is said that $100,000 was spent to defeat impeachment before. If so, an? other similar sum may be drawn from [ the greedy pockets of his Excellency again. Even bis boasted wealth, and the moneys besides in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, can long meet such drafts, and he mast Anally BUC enmb eoald the friends of impeachment bat keep the bail rolling long enough. At any rate, it will serve to divert some of his surplus funds from Ohio to South Carolina, and to that extont provo a pub? lic benefit. TUE COUNTERFEIT FIFTY DOLLAR NOTE. The following is a full description of the j 850 counterfeit of the new greenback issue, series of 1860: i This is tho first note of the issue that has boon counterfeited, and can readily I be detected by the poor quality of the engraving, while the paper upon which the note is printed is not at all like the genuine. Bunning through the paper I of the genuine issue isa fibre resem? bling bits of thread or oolored silk, also a narrow strip of blue, whioh is termed ithe "localized Obro," extending from the bottom'to the top of the note, on the right side. This ia made of certain material interwoven in tho.paper during its making-a secret process known only to.the inventors, which has undoubtedly proved a great check to counterfeiting. The large red seal of the Treasury in the centre of the note, also the oyotoid num? ber panel ornamented with scrolls, are wanting in the counterfeit. The vig? nette-the return of peace-on the left side the note, (Peace holding in her hand a statue of Mercury,) is coarsely engraved, the dark . drapery having a scratchy appearance and none of the graceful folds,- produced by lightB and shades, whioh will be observed in the genuine note. The feet of thc figure are badly drawn; also upon the right arm, as seen upon the genuine note, is a bracelet, strongly defined, while in the counterfeit it is hardly perceptible. Upon the upper left corner of the note is a shield, with tho monogram "U. S. nnder whioh a ribbon, with the motto, "EPluribus Unum;" in the genuine it is quite readable, while in the counter? feit it is blurred and the letters are badly formed. Over the letter "U" of thc let? ters "United States" is the lettering "series of 1869." Between the words "series of" and "1869" in the genuine there is a emull flourish, but in the coun? terfeit there is uone. In fact, the whole general appearance of the face of the note is bad, abd bas a decided litho? graphic look; also in leugth it is one eighteenth of an inch shorter than the genuine. Tho reverse of the counter? feit, composed of lettering and geome? trical lathe work, is a close imitation of the gonaine note. LOWREY AT WORK AGAIN-ANOTHER DEBU OF BLOOD.-On Sunday night, obout ll o'olook, Mr. W. C. McNeill, about sixty or seventy years of age, liv? ing at Moss Neck, in Robeson County, heard a noise in his smoke-house, and upon going out and finding that some one was inside be asked what they were doing. The reply was: "It is none of j your business!" Mr. McNeill answered, "I will show you whether it is any of my business or not," and returned to the boase for his gun. Securing his weapon be went back into the yard, bis wife aud daughter, who were of course badly frightened, following him as far as tho piazza aud trying to dissuade bim from iuterfuring with them. Justas they bad ?stepped into the piazza a volley was fired from the robbers in the smoke-bouse, whioh resulted in tho shooting of Mrs. McNeill in tho thigh, and her daughter, a young lady about eighteen or uineteen years old, in the shoulder, but not hurt? ing Mr. McNeill. The young lady is re? ported to be mortally wounded, but it is believed that Mrs. McN. will recover. Mr. McN. recognized the voice of Henry Berry Lowrey in the spokesman of tin parAy, and as there were four shots in the v o tray fired, it is taken for granted that he had at least three of his gang with bim. After the shooting, the outlaws re? tired. Mr. McNeill was the father-in law of Mr. John Taylor, who was mur? dered by the outlaws at Moss Neck, and is owner of the mill property at that place. Grout excitement prevails throughout the County. [ Wilmington Slur, 23r/. DEATH OF Ex-Gov. BRAGG.-Wo aro pained to chronicle the death of tho Hon. Tho?.

A SOUND ANSWER.-A Texas merck s writes to the New York Journal of Cot meroe to ask the following questio "Suppose that with an unsullied rcput tion, it has taken me six yeats to ma! un honest living, while in that time have seen thirty-two scamps go throng the door of insolvency iuto au improv mont of their estate, how long will it be h fore I will lay by something for old agc The Journal answers: "A man who li lived an active, unsullied life, in ll midst of sucb temptations for six ycai hus already laid by something for tl future; and thore is Ono who will ke that he has committed to Him, so th he will Hod that he has 'a good found tion against the time to come' A crot on that book is a sore provision for o age." Until tho timo of William tho Co queror, the English peoplo began tin year on the 25th of December. Th great ruler having been crowned ou t 1st of January, the peoplo began tin your at that tune, to multo it agree wi what they then considered tho most I | markable period in their history. MATIUUOXT EXTRAORDINARY.-An ion' ttrtRiQhig fcrttcl^gntttred ..TonjrWel'. ?erB* Vfi?ows," appears in the Pennsyl" ?ania Republican, from which the follow' ing io au eitract : _?, ''.' Another very courtabie widow WBB a ?oung lady of Washington, Pa. She eoame engaged to a yoong man named Bobert -4-~in 1840.- Her father, however, objected to this match with ODO ot his clerks, and when tho young lady received a tempting proposal from ? wealthy suitor, the paternal influenae soon effected''a murringo, despite the former engagement. In lesa than three " mop the, her husband was killed by a Kick from a horse. ' Rdbbrt 'xta? a second tlmwthen Tfanitor, bntdelayed tho im? portent question nntil fifteen -months bad elapsed, when, io' his horror, she informed him that Bhe waa engaged. In three months thereafter, she was mar? ried. Two years elapsed, whon the mar? ried oouple removed to Syracuse, N. Y., where, among the victims of theoholera, when the pestilence swept that oity, was tho second. Robert again sought her baud, and when a year had elapsed, lo! he reooived an invitation to her wedding. Her late husband's business was found in snob a state, that, to avoid immense losses, Bhe married the surviving part? ner. Shortly utter, she removed with her third husband to Detroit, Michigan. A few years elapsed, when herself und husband wero on a steamer that was wrecked near Buffalo. The husband perished, and the wifo escaped solely through tho efforts of a friend on board, ll i H gallantry inspired such sentimuuts iu her breast that she married her bravo preserver a fow months niter her third widowhood. The happy pair removed to Pittsburg, where her husband was en? gaged in mercantile business. Thither Robert, still cherishing his first Iovo, followed them. Ouo day as ho was pass? ing the husbund's store he saw a terrible commotion. Bushing in, ho beheld tho mangled corpse of that gentleman on tho floor. A tierce of rice, in being hoisted to an upper story, had fallen through the traps, killing him instantly. Anxiously Bobert inqutted if any uno had boen sent to inform bis wife, and was told that the book-keeper had just goue. Robert Started for Allegheny Oity, whore the deceased had resided, at tho top of his Bpeed. Tho book keeper was just ahead of him, and from past experience,;' knowing the virtue of prompt action, and apprehending that the cleric had designs on the widow, hu ran for dour lifo, Bide by side. The race continued nntil they reached Haud Street Bridge, when the clerk was obliged to stop to pay the tolls, while Robert, a commuter, passed over with? out stopping. Reaching the house of the widow first, Robert told the heart? rending news, and in tho same breath made a proposal of marriage. He was aooepted. Trne to her promise, after a year of mourning shu became bis wife. As all ber husbands had died wealthy, Bobert was comfortably fixed aftor all. This ease is a remarkable example of what pluck and perseverance will do for a man, while at the same time it touches a lesson on tho danger of delay. THE WOMAN Wno SHOT TWO MEN IN A STREET GAB.-More facts coming to light concerning the Mrs. McCarty, alias Dr. Emma Burleigh, alias Mrs. Sey? mour, who shot at Thompson in a Utica, N. Y., street car, and killed his compa? nion Hall, show that her maiden name was Josephine A. Fagan. Tue Albany Argua says tbat in 18C3 "she was en? gaged in smuggling quinine through our hues over to tho rebels. The general in command of one of the divisions on the extreme outer line of the United States forces, (and who is at present in this city,) arrested her there several times as a rebol spy, finding quinine on her per? son eaoh time. She was dressed in men's clothes, and was known ns 'Johnny McCarty,' the blookado runner. On eaoh occasion, tho general in oom mund received a peremptory order from tho then Secretary of War, directing her immediate discharge. Tho 'power behind tbe throne' which followed the woman, und always interposed its pro? tecting hand, was never known to those in command, and over afterwards she was loft to go and come through the lines at will." ANOTHER OUTRAGE UPON TUE PEOPLE. Wo learned from ?uturday's papers that Governor Scott had appointed John J. Wilson, alias No Nose Wilson, County Commissioner, vice M. G. Dunlap, re? moved to parts unknown. If the Go? vernor had felt disposed' to consult the wishes of the tax-payers of this County in making this appointment, he would not have forced upon us a man utterly devoid of character und principle, and altogether incompetent to discharge tbe duties of the oftioe that has been given him as a reward for his devotion to tho "ring."-Winnsboro News. A Norwegian, aged seventy, at Whito Boar Luke, Michigan, bad tho most ex? traordinary fight with a wolf on record, a fow days since. Tho unimal tackled him, and ho fought, first with a club and thou with a pitch-fork, und finally ho got a rope around tbe neck of tho beast, and therewith drew him to a carpenter's vioe, into whioh he screwed his head. Then ho got a gun and killed bim. Elder Alfred Bonnott, of North Caro linn, givo3 this warning to those who are in danger of becoming excluded church members: "When a sheep is excluded from tho fold it will bleat around until it is re-admitted; but when a hog ia put out of its pen it will root around and try to upset it." Next Friday is set down for tho execu? tion of George Botts for the murder of "Pot" Halstead. Tho hanging will bc conducted with tho utmost privacy. l'Yw persons will bo admitted outside of the proper ollicors and properly accredited press representatives. Edmund Yates, tho novelist, will visit America next full, and leoturo on Dick? ons, Thackeray and Jorrold. THE Bia MES OF PATAGONIA.-It is a little rrarioTjrs that'irr the modern rage for exploration into the unknown pairie; of the world, so little bas been learned concerning that land of amasons and' o? den of incredible stature and largo feet ?^r-Patagouia. 'At last, however, a tra? veler baa penetrated the land of ro? mance-ono Captain G. O. Mnsters, ol the royal navy-who has written a book concerning the untrodden gronnd be? tween the Straits of Magellan and the Bio Negro. He o infirms what bas been stuted so nniformly concerning thc ex? traordinary stature of the Patagonians, and also states, contrary to tbe received opinion that they develop their' legs al the expense of then-arms, that the mus? cular development of tho arma and chests is in all' particularly striking, and as a rule they are well proportioned through? out. They are, however, great walkers, and their powers of abstaining from food while traveling is wonderful, as it is not on uso ai for them to go two and even three dayB without a mouth-fol of any? thing but wild fruit. They are polyga? mists, bat do not generally go beyond two wives. In religion, they salute the new moon with respectful words, and believe in a great and good spirit, who, according to tradition, created the In? dians and animals, and dispersed thom from "God's hill;" but they have no idols or objects of worship. They have, however, wizard doctors, whose busi? ness is to propitiate or drive away the principal evil spirit, known au the (Jualichu. The Patagonians, or "Te buelohcs," dc not exceed 1,500 n>sn, women and children, and are rapidly de? creasing through the ravages of disease and of liquor, which the traders bring into the settlements. j Advices from Brazil to the 7th ultimo, represent thut the emancipation wove I nient is gradually changing into a genu? ine enthusiasm on the part of the peo? ple, who are liberating tboir slaves throughout tho empire with entire will-, inguess und spontaniety. The. bill, as I it stands now, does very little for thoso who are now slaves; and, as the Liberals aro very anxious to obtain the suprema? cy, it is almost sure that tho subject will be brought up for farther "egislation next session. It is the opinion of shrewd politicians that tho present law is only the first of a Rories of laws that will be annually passed until not a single slave is left on the soil of Brazil. In the meanwhile, as if in anticipation of the slow march of legislation, the owners are solving tho problem by taking the law into their own hands. The Presi? dent of the Province of Bio Grande de Norte beads a movement whiob bas for its object the establishment of a society for tho liberation of existing slaves, as well as for the rearing, educating and apprenticing of the children of slave mothers. THE SUSPENSION OP THE HOUSE OP B. L. & A. STU ABT.-The New York Daily Bulletin says: Owing to the present low margin be? tween the prices of raw and refined su? gars, the firm of Ii. L_ <t A. Stuart, su? gar refiners, has suspended business, being unwilling to continuo at present rates. This suspension, it is under? stood, is only temporary, as busiuess will be resumed as soon as prices war? rant it. In the meantime, the opportu? nity bas been taken to make repairs. A large force of mon ar? at work in tbe re? finery, and before business is begun agaia several ohanges will have been made. This temporary suspension of business bas given rise to many rumors of failure, all of which are without any foundation at all in faot. The orcdit of this bouse never stood higher than it does at presout, and the only cause for the suspension is, that it does not pay to oontinue. A SMALL POX IUMEDT.-The follow? ing is said to be n certain cure for small? pox. One mau speaking of it says: "It is ns unfailing as fate, and con? quers in every instance. It is harmless when taken by a well person. It will also on re scarlet fever. Here is tbe re? cipe as I have used it, and cured my children of tho scarlet fever; hero it ia os ? have used it to euro small-pox; when learned physicians said the patient must die, it cured: Sulphate of zinc, ono grain; foxglover, (digitalis,) one grain; half a tea spoon-ful of sugar; mix with two table spoons-ful of water. When tborongbly mixed, add four ounces of water. Take a spoon-ful every honr. Either disease will disappear in twelve hours. For a obild, smaller dose, ac? cording to ago. If Counties would oom pel their physician to uso this, there would be no need of pest booses. If you value advioe and experience, uso this for that terrible disease." Bia GUNS.--The oontraot for mount? ing the heavy guns in the forts at -the eutranoe of tbe harbor has been given out here, and the work will be begun to? day. The contemplated armament which will be placed in Fort Moultrie under the contract is two ten-inch Bodman guns, two two hundred pound Parrot guus, and throe tbirteen-inoh mortars. Two two hundred pound Parrot gu OB only will nt present be mounted on Fort Sumter. Our neighbors in Savannah aro expe? riencing similar favors, and a contract is about to bo awarded bore for mounting three ten-inch guns and two two hun? dred pound Parrot guns, at Fort Jack? son, on tho Havannah River, four miles bulow the oity.-Charleston News. ABSQUATULATED. - M. G. Dunlap, County Commissioner, bas left this County for tho County's good. We un? derstand that bnsincss of a vory press? ing nature called bim away, and bis de? parture was so sudden that no ona know of it until be was many milos upon bis journey; "Faro thoo well, yaller logs," und may you bo content to remain ol waya a goodly distance from Fairfield County.- Winnsboro News. 12? oo al ?
