The old one has been fall ? of fini^ciaJ^/o^Uop'd^^Ijtlc^'j^^ V lotions., Let u? hope that tho now onp will bo, freighted all, through with ''prosperity, pence and happiness, and ? that tho discordant1 elements which ^cxist in nil departments of our nation, .will, bo harmonized before its close, . Let us nil resolve to be faithful to ' ourselves, to our country and to our God, at the begining of this centen nial year, nnd, ero long, we shall breathe easier nnd feel stronger to do good. To the readers of the News ?and Times, we send a joyous greeting, and wish them a happy New Year ! I Don't Look Back! Christmas is gone again! The great festival occasiou is once more a thing of the past; but we would ad vise our readers to forget it, if tlic.y can, ' It. is true, that if thesp festive days were not sprinkled inlo the years of^our earthly existence, our hard grinding 1 iic would soon wear us all out. ?' ? * But 8*.ill our advice is, not to look back, for there arc numbers whose lives have it* happy seasons in them, no carnivals of joy, no merry-mak ings, no hours of uninterrupted happi ness! -'. In all tho three hundred and siXty-five days, which go to make up a year, there are hundreds who cannot look ujion one of them which did not have its sorrows, its heartburnings, its aching!*, its dismal moments,?which did net carry vritli it its own stings, or forebodings of those to come. Life, with such as these, is a continuous struggle?a burden, that they would willingly lay aside. Sickness or poverty, or, that "deep midnight of the soul";'which makes this world a Hell, or the three combined, conspire to snatch from their existence every ray ol"*"earthly sunshine, every hope ot earthly' comfort 1 Although Christ mas is celebrated as Christ's day, yet tlfere'can be but little appreciation of Iiis mission t0 such ns these, lie has said "come unto me all yo that labor and are heavy laden, nnd I will give you'.:reif; ; It ris hard for meu whoso lafitp'.'of life emits no ray of light or hope, .',to believe that n Higher then theyvcares for them !? hard to believe and act upon his promises. And yet, we uro told that Christmas means that Christ is thc^ friend of man?a sympa thize^ and sharer in his sorrows; that men honor him only when they trust him; and 0*at in trusting him, llicy throtv olf all corroding care and an jj.TctyV^tli'ot'it is a perversion 6'fllfe , to 'allow it to bo wasted in a continu-" al .ftyrry; thafc* 'if ""every body 'wero rich- iP wViild Hc'vcxab'ny^ to everybody's being poor; and that io bepo6r is neither disgraceful nor in ilse}f,\4dcplorable. But the poor say that stich reasoning as this may do for those Who have never felt the sharp arrows ofpoverty! of starvation staring them in the lace, of going to the grave un.cn red for and unwept! Such reasoning docs not suit their condi tion. Hut, &r all this, Christmas is essen tially ^rh&'s day, and should be so rtgardvd.""* Ol course, the rich enjoy it mme'lhen those who arc penniless; and when it is gone, it leaves with the' former tho. most pleasing recollections of its duration. Not so with tho poor, howcver.-,rT?:thein it leaves a heritage of biUer memories of their insiguiti calico iii the world's space; of their physitaVtyA^ incnlalsuilcriug.s; of tho hearth ssnes:jrof those whom tho world has favored; of an existence akin to death>weff days uselessly spent in pull ing h\\\4l tigstinst the stream. Hence our injuijctioii?Don't look back ! It will only imbilter tho ftilitro, and make the. poisoned chalice, which it lias in .store for iholips of many, on'y the hardg^vtotpljail'. These thoughts were suggCoLoU to in, by a conversation wo ovei heard the other day' oelWeen a gentleman of this placo ntrtl* the keeper"of tho County Poor House. An inmate of that Instit ution had requested the gentle man referred to, io sco the keeper, and enquire whether or not ho would per mit him to. bo carried homo to his mother; that although she was tis poor i-iinrni-iw-iHii i wmmmmimmym ?? i mmmwmmm\mmmn~r-i-?

A largo meeting was held at the Hibornian Hall, in tho city of .Char leston, on Tuesday, night last, for the purpose of passing Togolutions sustain ing Gov. Chamhorlain; and?to com mend 'him for refusing to commission Wj J. Whipper and F. j. Moses Jr! Goo. W. Williams was elected President, with' thirty-seven Vice Presidents. Wo. shall do no more than givo a brief synopsis of what was' said and done; The many unfortu nate sentiments which found express ion on that night will he weighed carefully by the country, and passed upon by the people. Col. Rutledgo thought that in the the election of Moses and Whipper a 'fblbw has been aimed at the very centre of our civilization," and that "our honor has been trampled into the very dust." Gob'. Jus. Connor said, in connection with the same sub ject, '.'There are two courses open: Ahjoctp submission to this and the worms yet to conifv.-or n'linn, deter mined resistance.' ? * /*' ' Thyre.musi: he 'otgarH^aticfn,' complete, over the whole State, to- sweep.-.from power those who jhftvc betrayed the trust which jvas Collided to thorn. Secure the (nest) election and the rest will follow." The General then submitted a platform which pledges the .support of Charleston to Governor Chamber laiu, nnd requesting him not to ::wcrvo from his purpoao to ro I'uso to commission Moses and Whip per, and calliug for a thorough re organization of tho Democratic parly. Tho platform was seconededby several gentlemen. Mr. Smytho said "In my humble opini >ii tho lime for reconciliation in jiasi," while Maj.Siog lingithought that such. an outrage Vmwit bti vigorously mei und Jinnly prc \vetife\l." J)ul tho most remarkable RpcCch j that was made by those who sccotidod | tho platform was that which en the from the lipa of Col. 1'resaley. Jn our opinion it would have been better for him and the State if he had re mained away from Hibernian Hall on Tuesday night last. For,,. while . Gov. Chamberlain is anxious to. puri fy tho Government, and . make hor Judiciary above reproach,'wo do not thiuk that ho will approve of such intemperate expressions its'make hp Mr. Prcssley's speech. Among other things which tiro credited to tlial gentleman, wo Cud these words: ".South Carolina bus always been opposed lo Lynch law. * But 1 will not undertake to say, in our sore noccsBtty, what wc \youldiha.Y.Q.doue, when it camo to the altonm^ivo of no daw' or Lynch law." Further on, the same.! speaher get^^'armo^'jip" and ! says fit this .Legislature without that United States flag floating x>von, thotn, attempt to impeach Gov.>Chamber lain?well! / icou'du't ULe Jo leihe insurance agent thai held policies on their V.ves/" "I thought wc had taken enough already before Whipper and Moses woro elected Judges. The time has come for action." Major Barker was the last speaker and seemed lo havo understood the situation better than any of those who preceded him. 1 le said that lie was "loath to participate in public meetings, which under the influence of popular excitement, indulge in ex pressions which arc not to be redeem ed in action." The meeting was very large, and enthuisnslic in ita support of Gov. Chamberlain; but, in our opinion, many things that found expre '.ion there that night, will have it bad elliicl at the North, und arc hot in conso nance with the Republican record- of pnr Chief .Magistrate. A dispatch to the Nc'/ca anil Courier from Columbia, under dale 80th ult., stales that Alloncy-Gcneral Melton contemplates resign tug iVoui the At Idrnoy-Gctieralship, und that Judge Carpenter is likely to succeed hhni The actuating motive with Mr Mel toil has hot yet transpired, hut wo sup pose it is a good otic. The. .Stale's loss will bo great in his retirement from tho position which he .so long and faithfully lilied. Ho is one of the truest and ablest men in the State, and litis a place in the heart of every lover of good government. AT < [communicated.] I Outlaws Abroad.

On last Saturday night about 9 o'clock, whilo ray sons and mysolf wore at my storo about two hundred yards from my d^elling,rI heard diltre^ingBcrbaniefl'of my rfife'; and running to her assistance, found, as i fiV?" "V?as engaged In writing,some letters with three lamps burning, a black villain rushed into the room and mndc an attempt to prevent her giving alarm, but failed, as she ilew out in the pnssago way and gave the alarm. Ho spied a small trunkuudcr tho bed and ran off leaving'hiii stick. Tho trunk contained the clothing of my little boy. And on this morn ing (Wednesday) a still more daring act was perpetrated. One of ray sons, uot quite fifteen years old, started for Orangeburg; and when not inoro than three huudrcd yards from homo, a villain, who was concealed behind a pine tree, immediately on the road, sprang oat and caught the bridle, aud raising a large stick told the child to give up his money or he would kill him. Tho child consented togivctbc money if he would not strike him, and would take his stick from o>cr him. Tbc 1 itlle follow had a good piatol, but it was iu his left pocket. He put his hand iu his pod;et, cocked his pistol softly, passed it behind his back, caught with his right hand and pre sented it, intending to fire at that ins tant, but toe mule on which he was mounted jumped nnd the villain cried, don'L shoot. Tho little fellow fired and the villain was seen to stumble as ho ran r.spidly away. It is hoped that he is wounded. J. G. WaIC^AuJAIvK:1..'
