The Carotini n states, we presume, upon the "best authority, that this new plan of pacification "has the .formal endorsement of Governors OrR, of Sooth Carolina, Parsons, of Alabama, SuAnarr, of Mississippi, and Marvin, of Florida; of Senator Jones, of Arkansas, Hon. Mr. Epperson, member elect ? from Texas, and Messrs. Brown, Botden, Haines and Lkacu, of North Carolina.? These measures have been submitted to the Legislature of the last named State, now in session, and are before the bublic for consideration." It will, therefore, be perceived that Gov, 0?R has, with other Southern men, sucoeed?d in effecting some understanding with the insjority party In Congress; which, if ear? ''Vied out, will end the strife which seems how so threatening of worse ruin than we have yet experienced, and which may save the remnant that is left. The measures are certainly quite radical, but not so objectionable as others impending. We may look out for the call of nn extra session of the j Legislature, in all probability, and probably the assembling of a convertion in this State within a few months. Article 14.?Section I.

L., South Carolina, January 28. 1867,1 respectfully request Ihe citizens of Greenville and Pickens Districts to aid me In completing, at the earliest possible date, a list of orphan freed children in said Districts, who are in a destitute condition, and without rolatives and proper protectors. Information concerning such persons may be communicated vsrbally, or by letter, to this office; and should, In every case, specify name, ape, ?rz, birth place, pre*ent condition and rctidcnce of the orphan. The object proposed is to transfer these victims of poverty to the Shan Orphan Asplumn in Charleston, S. C. Attention is earnestly invited to the fnct?, that this result will not only be beneficial to the orphans, but will tend to'relieve the already burdened public charities of tbo districts, and will remove from the community a class which is likely, under nogfect, to grow up in ignorance and crime.

From nil we enu learu, land, almost the only property left in the country. Was fearfully snciificed last Sale Dnv, in several District*, and the prices obtained were much lower than at previous Sale Days. At Greenville, there were acvern' tracts sold at very low rales. A tract of 90 ncrcs fold for f 25 ; a tract of .10 acres at $25 and so on. Some of these lands were sold on credit. The Abbeville Banner gives the following report of sales in thnt District: The sales hy Sheriff and Commis-ioner in Kquity, on Sale Day, were confined to lands. From prices which we quote, it will be seen that only.a small portion of its Value was obtained lor this kind of property. At Sheriff's sates, one tmct of I'M acres, lying within two inib-s of Greenwood, sold at $146; lot in Fort I'iekens, 17 acres, $415 Ssb* hy Commissioner were as fellows: one tract of 475 aeres, $15<>5; tract of R40 acr< s, $10*20; tract of 4?0 seres, on which there is a valuable tan yard, $3*15. A great portion of these lands is very valualdt*, and ought to havo sold at much higher figures. That the execution of the law re quires such sacrifices, is a fact deplorable in itself, and its necessity at the same time ( shows the effect which imlitca) arritation ?t. i the North, combined with cur want of sufficient loliuble labor, has upon tho South. As our corresjmndent remarks, the present sacrifice of lac la are light, compared to whatr.ext full crop of new judgments will produce. 14 Tlio Ladies Fair.'

Editort : I will give you a briof statement of Uie result of a sale and sacrifice of property, la V;i)Hamston, on Monday-last, which ia another Instance of the folly sod madness of the majority of oar Legislature, in not providing some relief against the speed of legal proceedings. In 1860, eighty acres of land, with dwelling house and necessary out buildings, and near thirty acres of wood land, the rest under fence and in cultivation, in the incorporate limits of Williamston, was mortgaged for a debt of some $800, which was then regarded ample security. Both parties to the contract having died since then, there Was an order of the Court for the sale on twelve months credit, and it did tell for $141, barely sufficient to pay costs. No wonder that the lawyer Influence prevailed in the Legislature, when they can fotua sales of property, to th? ruin of eredi tois as well as debtors, but it may bring enought to pay cottt in cath. When judgment* arq multiplied next fall, tenfold in number and amount, you may judge from present signs, what will he the sacrifices to the people; no matter.

In consequence of this accident, the military authorities have decided that.no further unloading of shells shall take place.
