FORBEAR A LITTLE LONGER. 3
The Southern people, by quiet sub- T
mission to wrong; by patient obedi- ?
' ence to an oppressive rule; by selfpossession
in the midst of aggravating j.
evils; by uncomplaining forbearance
to causes intended to provoke them to ,
violence; by strict adhesion to truth, ^
and perfect freedom from all the con- .
* tacting influences of their enemies, in
the midst of all their disasters, have
inspired the reverence of the world. ^
^ In the hour of their greatest misfor- j
B tunes they scorned to sacrifice their
W; honor or self-respect. True, a few
base men have proven their want of ^
principle by yielding to bribery and ^
corruption; yet the mass of the Sbuth- 1
. .1 a
ern people are still true to tne man- ^
hood and* glory of their race. Their
enemies dare not impugn the purity ^
of their patriotism or the correctness q
of their motives. Were they capable
* of appreciating the heroic virtues
w&ich we have shown, they dare not j
accuse us with recreancy to our dis- a
tingushed qualities. Though oppress'
ed by a ruthless foe, we have been g
| in our reliance upon the ultimate justice
of our fellow countrymen, be- ^
lieving the time would come when the t
1 . masses of the North would strike for ^
our deliverance. In submitting quiet* a
/ ly to wrong we have established a a
higher claim tj.heorism than that won
upon the battle-field. We have fitly -j
those who unnaturally lord
^ it over us, by a solemn and respectful <;
protest against their unjust acts. We ^
have said to them, by our conduct, ?
that whilst we submit to force without
resistance, we detest the measures it
imposes. By our example we have
inflicted upon our task-masters the a
'" contempt of mankind. We have re- g
2>uked them with the weapon keen- t
er than a two-edged sword. In the t
language of silent submission we have t
condemned them with letters indelli- t
<ble asthe 6tars. With few exceptions, t
we havo not been contaminated by t
those influences through which our Q
' conquerors had hoped to corrupt us v
into an acceptance of their debasing ^
policy. As we hate<i them politically p
so have we scorned them personally, ^
4 flvoiling their social contact as a j(
plague infested with the virus of moral t
death. We have borne much, endured r
much at the hands of usurpers and n
tyrants?our humanity often shocked ^
by their beastly brutalities, and their j.
' - want of respect for the customs* ideas ^
jnd peculiarities of a people superior r
to themselves, until we have been
made to feel that the extremity t
p* -of forbearance had been reached.? r
But, helpless as we were, our forbear- r
anc? involved no loss of respect. The *
. -world has applauded our course in t
view of the cowardly sword suspended
. above our heads. It has sympathized
j^th our misfortunes and approved
* <our forbearance. .

tJ Heal'.-h and Exercise.?Cicero t
e is described by Plutarch as being, at r
one period of his life, extremely thin c
. and slender; and having such a weak- ?li
ness that he could eat but little?in n
? fact, he could retain scarcely a.ny- s
- thing on his stomach, his whole frame p
it being so extremely <weak. He trav- si
v elled to Athens, however, for,.ithe re- tl
o covery of his health, where;bj? body U
e was so strengthened by gjfanastic li
i- exercises as to become firpi and- ro- a
- bust; and his voice, which had been b
f harsh, was thoroughly, formed, and t?
0- rendered sweet, fulK'and^gpnpVbus.? r<
y And of Juliu3 Cresar, the same author I tr
- informs us that he vras originally of T
a blender hrtrr*
e being extremely soft and 06 a siltyTn
n hue; he wan troubled with, violent m
1 pains in his head, and was subject to ei
3 epilepsy;, but influenced by the ex- di
t ample of Cicero, and'a gpeat many ti
1 others of his cotemporaries, h^ found U
, in exercise the best medicine" for his t)'
p indisposition, as. after "them he went <ei
5 through long marches, bore coarse ei
1 diet, frequent sleeping in the fields, w
3 and continued for many years ex- b
, posed to the hardships of war. The h
. great physician, Hoffman, in a special d
3 treatise *on gymnastics, justly cele
brates it as the best ot medicine; and
2 the celebrated poet Dryden asserts ]j
2 that - d
S "The wise^for cure on exercise depend; * r,
1 God never made his work for man to mend." ^
r Among the particular diseases in q
J the cure of which gymnastic exercises a
31 have been found the most effectual si
3 i^re gout, rheumatism, consumption, a
3 nervous disorders, bilious colic, drop- w
t sy, palsy, diseases of the mind, be- h
sides many others. With regard to (tl
3 the choice of exercise for curingMi- d
J seases, it has been justly remarked y
t j that there are many points to be at- pi
I tended to. Every kind of exercise, t<
i and every decree of it, is not fit for m
every constitution; far less in every w
r complaint, or at all times. Whjch is b
l- the proper sort of.exercise to be re- pi
i commended, must depend upon par- w
1 ticular circumstances of habit, age, ai
J constitution, or disorder;-and in cases
: where tiie" whole frame ist enreeoieri^
* the advice of an intelligent teach.er is v<
f not to be neglected. ii
Exercise is well entitled in various ifi
respects to be considered as a commoft ?<|,
I aid to physic?to use a phrase which tt
l iEsculapius originally used. In.fact, jc
when the body is, by exercise, brought' ej
t into a good state of health, and all, jc
i* the humors are wholesome, should it ci
I be attacked by disease it will be ipore v
51 easily restored; hence, it is well o'b-^ J
31 served, that we ought undoubtedly" is
- to attribute the wonderful success of g|

II It has broke down many a man by "'di

where the ribald song was inculca- v

n happiness and not misery, wo advise h

o and the good. Strive for excellence, ?
s and strict integrity, and you will ^
if never bl found in the sinks of pollu-' l(
e tion or on the benches of revilers and ,p

THE FALL TRADE OF CHARLES
TONA
prolonged season of depression
and disaster, through which the business
community of Charleston and
the planting interest of our seaboard
have struggled with manful persistence,
is fast drawing to a close. The
crops are now sufficiently, well advanced
to justify the belief that the
yield will be much the most abundant
that has been gathered since the war.
Nor will the planter be sacrificed, as
last year, by being forced to thrust
his cotton at ruinous prices upon a ?
falling market. The last two seasons ^
have taught him a costly lesson of
-prudence and economy^. the.fixorbi- J
tant wages once demanded and ob- )
tained by the freedmen have either (
b^en brought down to a reasonable
standard, or the laborer has been in- j
duced to share' the risks of his employer:
the use of expensive fertili- {
zers has been sparing and judicious; {
and the planting operations of the. j
year, involving but a fraction of the y
outlay so recklessly incurred in '66 i
and '67, will, there isjcason to hope {
be proportionately more remurative' 1
in result. The position of our fac- (
tors, too, is vastly stronger and more \
satisfactory than at any period since ^
Tho omhaTTasamfints and i
losses which they had suffered, <
owing to the previous failure of crops, ]
compelled them at the opening of the \
present season, either to withhold ad- 5
vances altogether, or to make them 1
with'the utmost caution and on a 1
very limited scale. Hence, hamper- j
ed by no heavy obligation's, they can 1
the better afford to follow their judgment
in choosing the time for placing ]
their cotton upon the market, so as j
to insure the largest return to them- {
selves, ta the planters, and indirectly. ]
to the whole community. 1
This improvement in the condition ]
of our great agricultural and commer- 1
cial interest must and will react at ]
once and cheeringly upon the general
business of Charleston.
The jobber will find his country or- (
dersmultiplying as they have not done
xfkeajixe whole country (
whs bare of merchandize and every (
? * % * mi '. 3
J&ousetiold needed supplies. xne iraues j
man will be gladdened by a brisk res ]
.vival of the retail trade. The re- f
building of the burnt district will re- ,
ceive a fresh impetus, and the servi- j
ces of the mechanic will be in active j
and steady demand. Even the professional
man, whoqe lot it has too f
often been to work without pay during ]
the last two years," will feel the j
change,?in the increased facility of ]
collecting bills, both old and new? ,
Let us hope that no political troubles j
will arise to disturb that current of ,
business which must soon set in, and j
that all classes of our people will work j
together," earnestly and confidently, j
to make Charleston richer and more f
prosperous than she has ever been in j
the past.?Charleston News.

The Negro Riot Near WalterBofco'?thh
Colored Troops Caps
ture the Rioters.?We have ob- ^
tained,, from a private letter, the par- t
ticulars of the riot which took place j
near Bissell's store, on the Savannah ,
and Charleston Railroad, on Monday (
last. The disturbance did not end ,
in any loss of life, but it proved ?
the existence of a lawless and muti- j
nous spirit on the part of the negroes, j
and that the colored troops are rea- j
dy to fire on their own race when or- 1
ddred to do so. ? s
On Thursday there was a big speak- i
iug to the negroes at White Hall, <
and on Friday orders were given that. ?
all jhe hands at Cypress, Mr. Lown- ]
des', Mr. Warren's and other places, j
should meet at White Hall, under t
paii} of arrest for not attending. On j
[Sunday Mr. Bissel and a Mr. Blair ]
were called on by Mr. Campbell to.
go over to Lowndes',place, to prevent
a meeting which was to be held j
there. Mr. Campbell said that there ,
was a company of negroes formed and ,
armed, in readiness to hang his ne- ;
gro foreman for whipping a little boy,
who went to sleep instead of attendding
to his business. The boy was 1
only hit twice. Upon consultation
Mr. Campbell made an affidavit of '
the facts, which was taken by Mr*
Ttieooli tn Waltwboro'; "twenty miles ,
in two hours." The magistrate and :
sheriff could do nothing, but the Col
onel commahding tthe post ordered
down a detachment of twenty-five
colored soldiers, who reached Bissell's
store, at one o'clock on Monday morning.
In the meanwhile it had been ascertained
that Mr. Campbell had^resv

:ued the foreman from the mob, and
hat all the negroes on the place
rere tinder arms. .? '... j :
during the' night the negro sentiiels
notified their leaders of the arival
of troops, hut at daylight the
letachment made a dash upon the .
>arty. /There was ,a great' deal^f
unning and screaming and some 1%
le firing. A good many negroe^
rere captured with their papfain.
On Tuesday morning an attempt ,
vas made to arrest Brutus Rutledge, j
;he captain ofrthe mob, but he was , '
laid to have gone to Walterboro' to'
jive himself up.
The writefin conclusion says: "All
lands are now at work; there will be
10 more danger down here fpr'years '
:o come."
We have also received the followl
ng information:
On their way down the troops were
ired at, and returned the fire. They ..
irreated ten or more negroes. Upon
;he march back the advance guard
iras some distance in front of the >
nain body. A negro preacher named
Solomon Spears ran out .from the
jushes in front of the advance guard,
)rdered it to halt, and demanded the'
elease of the prisoners. He bad fifv
teen negroes with him, and ordered
;hem to fire upon the guard, when hie
lepaand was not acceded to. The
nain body of troops, however, came
lp, and all the negroes were quietly
irrested. ...We understand that $10,,
;roops were fired oh five times in All,.
irid that ftlfcncrpthflr foTATif-ff.throa naS
jroes were .arrested. The colored
:roops behaved very well.
PompeyMillard, one of the ringeaders,
is the same negro who has been
idvising the hands on the Combahee
;o strike for $2 a day wages. We
earn that the guard was set serosa
;he avenue.,to Mr. Nat. Ileyward's
)lace, and no one was allowed to go
;here to work because this modest
equest was not granted.??

)ur endeavors to secure a happy, ?
prosperous, Or independent future for
