Vow. if ?raU| uould no expected of the

little, but to expect a thing from that eon roe,
la, we think, the greatert of folly.
After a fltfnl ferer, the Booth wante reat
aad repose, and in the names of one hundred
thousand South Carolinians, who bare not for
Months tasted meat, we say, is South Carolina
able to endure distraction and confusion any
longer, or be annoyed by unoertainty aad anarchy
f No, no; let us go forward and aequL
eeoe in the laws of the oountry; and when the
time arrlrea, select the best men we can for
the 8tate Conrentioa. Congress and the lead
log men say that thla is the finality. Let us
not as though it is so?it is the beet that
San be done; aad when the States resume
their old planes in the Union, we will start
anew on a earner of prosperity nerer dreamed
of before. There ean be no turpitude in snob
coarse.
Gen. Javu Lwiituit mji that the surrender
of tbe Confederate armies in 1161, lo*
volred the surrender of tho claim to the right
of seoession ; tho surrender of tho formor political
relations of tho negro, and the surrender
of tho Southern Confederacy. If all of
these are gone, what have we to do bat to obey
the laws of Congress T The tetll-bting of the
shunt of the ptoplt requires that the States
get back into the Union as soon as possible, and
upon the best terms procurable. The disfranchisement
of some of onr loading men ismuoh
sorer than tho Vifranehisement of the negroes,
to us; but the terms presented us are the best
that wo will ever get, and it is for the people
to say whether or net they will accept them.

Tho Burnt Diatrlot of Oroonrillo.
Columbia baa her burnt district, the
Charleston papers frequently allude to portions
of their city bearing a similar epithet,
and why not we allude to ours, as ws Lars

A stranger visiting the place, happening,
in the night, upon the ruins of MoBeb's

mistake as to the plaoe, and bad unoonsoioualy

The pillars of tha old Hall stand like
silent watchmen, to tell the paaeer-by that
the destructive element has had its sway
there, and the brlok bats varlfy all they

of the haunts of toads and snakes and
everything else that makes one's flesh crawl.

that the debris of the building was
soon to be made to give place to a struc- 1

dieate such a purpose, but all in vain. Not <

.hat the wheat is doing very well, end in
tome places it is unusually good looking,
promising a fine yield. If nothing fmin this
