Our Apology. There was no paper issued last week from this office. It was Christmas-week nnd the Printer- boys, who had worked Iard. and- faithfully, shut in alost from the bright heavens and beantiful world, for one long year, concluded that it was right for thet to take a little exercise in the fresh air and to spend in enjoying the s;ciety of their friends and relatives this one treek out of the fifty-two,. and it was not in our heart to say ney to them. We hope our patrons will he equally indulgunt and excuse the omission. We have also to apologize to our read. ere for the present issue and to beg! them ro bear with us for this time. The present sheet has been got out in quite a hurry, and upon a Press considerably out of repairs, but we base procured the proper % orkmen and are told the defects will be remedied in time for our next. Ve trust our kind friends will make the best of the misfortune. An Adieu. Twelve months since I bade an adieu to the readers of the Banner and a farewell to editorial labors ; after wNhich I was induced, at the solicita tior.s or mends, to contin,,,o neo 0 C. tor for one year longer. That period hab now expired, and I shall seek in other and more private duties for that occupation and pleasure I was wont to find in my weekly communications with the public, through the colutnns of this paper. To the readers of the .""nner,1 who haveC ever been dis5posed' to look with kindness and partiality upon mny eflorts to please and cater for their mental entertainment, 1 bid a.n affectionate farewell, eatnestly commending to their support my suc eessors in oflice, who are well able to make the B~anner a light and beacon to every fireside. To my brethren of the Press, I have only to say-that tmy connoctiomn with) thema shall always be regarded as a green spot in may life and cone which I take leave of, as I would all cherished and honored as sociates. JOHN R. LOGAN. A Change. It will be seen by our readers, that our former talented and able co-edi tor Mr. Jous R. LoUAN has retired fromt his conneetion with the Banner. In loosing him wve loose an able and ready assistant in the conduct of oaur paper and a graceftul waiter. Our connection with him has been a pleas ant and haarimnious one, anad he car ries with him our best wishes for future success and happiness. Our loss would be more deeply felt, and regretted were it not that we have been fortun ate enough to procure the services of Mr. WV. F. BI. UIAYnswon-ru who. we now tako pleasure in atnnouncing to our readers, will hereafter be assoems ted with us as co-editor of the Jhrn naer. Mr. HAYNSWonTII's abilities as a writer and journalist are too well knownt to requtire us to say atnything in commnendation of thenm and lie will, we doubt not, speak ably in suppoitt of them with hiq own pen. Thelliew Year. We wish our readers a happy new year. . We do so with the more earn estness because we fear thant to nimay thousands in our own hand and to many more in other lands the year just ushered in will prove tunhappy and desolating. Upon this year are misfortunes, the follies, the reckless speculations, and the diplomatic blun ders of past years. In more than one sense is mankind a vast brother hoo I. One people cannot alone be aff'eted either by tmisfortune or pros perity--others feel. the depressing or iuspiriting influence. So it is with na of the Renth . ...e are a ec with the world. No misfortune more remarkable than of past years has hefallei us; we have not been more criminally extravagant, more heed lessly speculative than of yore, yet ulpon Is the pressure is heavy-np. preheitsion fills Ihe heart; the present is unsmiling but the future lowers frowiniiigly. Each one repeats to hi tisel f, the wearying because unana vwerable (uestiolns, Whe n will the warl, cease atd the busy arts of peace again expand into life. aid energy, coninerce revive, conIfidInce be re established and plenty flow in again upon us? Ve wish we could discern the day as near. But we cannot cal cilate the length of time requisite for the future to compensate the past. Mil. lions of money have beenl burut, in powder and scattered in cananon balls and ltab shells, have been spent in equipping for death meii who shOuld have been at home adding to the wealth of the world; millions more have sunk in unfatthom --able depths of' occan; millions more crumbled into ashes or vanished away in smoke; speculation, mismanagemaent, fraud, fully and extravaganice have all done their work-and much suf'eriig is thle coneqtiCuelnce to both small and great. Aniguish and desolation have come to I many firesides-loss and ruin to many a coinmercal interest-the merchant prince, the tradesant, the mania licturer, the producer, the consuner all feel the heavy pressure. We read ofthousands at the North and at, the East, who depended on their daily labor for their daily bread, thrown out. of employment. without re sources, without lope for' them selves, despairing as to the help. less ones, for vhom in better times their scanty ineais sufied. From much of all this sufferinag we of tihe South will happily be exemapt--)et not so entirely as that we shall nlot be interested, beyond our sympathies, to hope and labor for better times. We are touched in the depression of our !rreat staple, in the scareity of mo nev and in the thousand embarrass. ments which restalt fronm such a state of' things. It becomes uas to be sober and thoughtful. We cannot, as in dividuals, regulate the times; we might in vain write the Czar or tile allied thrones and Implore them to stop this uncomfortable war -we eamaot hope to influence the great world which lies beyond our owin sphere mteiOni-Lbiu in that sphere we can do amuich, we can be pr udent and cautiiis in our transactions, we can avoid extrava gance and speculation-if we cannot pay all our debts we call pay as far as our money will go, start, it, ini its pazs sage from hand to hand to pay perhaps a hundred timnes its amaouant, and lie fore long perhaps again return to us int its beneflicet circulation-we can work hard and live economnically; anid if' all this lie done the chances are that this will be to our' readers what we again wish it, thema-A ItArry NEwV EkAR. A W'OrdE RS iO Our .SchI4ool. Wee congratulate the peopele, both of' our town anad thae surrouindinag country. upon the eduocationtal flitilities whtie Sumnterville niow alibrds. - For~ thle amtiabule sex there are semti naries, f'roma the little Miss whose eyes roll wearily away from he "aa'' a- b abs," up to the young lady who amust. be prepared by t-he ologies for the higher duties of' life.

Two of the Vices of' the Day. In the accounts wvhich the papers give of what is going oan in our cotta try we notice with woander' two things. One is that fenmale extravagance seems to be uninfluenced by the striettures in the money market and to be una bashed by the scenes of suffering which surrnund it Oim accunt aim that the amount of duties paid for Frenich artificial flowers, for the first quarter of the current fiscal ye..r, was almost double the amount of duties paid oi railroad iron. Can we wonder then that so many hundreds of miles of railroads have been abmndonmed fur the present'? Anotlier states that the splemdid establishments of the North ern cities are thronged as ever, and splemdid shawls amid laces sd ribbonis and silks flaunt, througfr crowds of beggars and . mock the gaze of hun. dreds of workmen whose enmployers have been forced to take from them theib only means of liviig. The ladies go on with their shopping as busily as ever, though their husbands or fathers may be straining every nerve to keep from failure, and tholigh each step ill their giddy flittings brings themin ll c1 ntact With some new subject of want and wretchediness. And imother thing we have noticed and with sorrow-that, tihe liutior business alone seems mnuaf f, eted by the times. Ship and house builders, mainufheturers, artiians. of every kiid are dischargimng their m hands, but this trade thrives md prospers. We will give one 'glimpse at it in one spot of this wide lamd. The Albimny (N. Y. Reqister says, tihe busimess ofII malnumifieturing1" whiske an1(d hligh wines is largely carried oi in this city. There is a sing-le com cern, doing' a bumsimess of somme *00, 000 per annum, that every day coin verts over 400 bushels of honest li dimni corn into maddei:.g, pIois n ms, destructive Whtiskey!

In the confhusions incident to the de parture of time old year and Lh bust lhig arrival of the new, we had almost le1'ga dtem mtht itrm portant chammges ;11 the mail service to be made oi time 1st inst. We were reminded of' it on Modmlay afternoonm by fimding oily our Colum bia exehamiges awaiting us. We would be puzzled to designate either the Jo. cality in wichd the othemrs are reposintg or by wm hat. route North, South, East or West, they mnay he in traunsitu. We heard that time raail for Charleston brought down by the W. & iM. R. R. on Mlonday, was lput out at hamsay's to be tramnsported by horse power' across Nelson's Ferry to Chalestun. Amid with referemnce to the piracticablil ty of this mouite, we heard that wimhin time last week one of the creeks near ihis ferry was wahat is termed "'swim mingii. TIhis expression is smiufieitly commprehmensibile for' us to anticipate lhat occiasionazl ly the conmtenmts of time mammil bags may be considerably dilu-n ted. This imay prov*e ohf ad vanmtauge to some commmumnications, whmich othemrwise woi~uld, perhaps, be too sa/g. Inm regard to time service on thme other side oif thme mriver we have understoo~d that AMr. D~ocutAss, with whomi time D.)epartmmcmt contracted, because time ebarges of the S. C.

We felicitate time coumntry as to the celerity, certainty amnd security of its f'iture mail commnunientioins. W e congratulate time G.overmnmient. upon time finamncial pmrudence and ability Of onie of its chief' oflicials. We are pileased that, it has been pr'oposed in Congress to offer time me-. diatiomn of oumr Gioverhnemt to thne bel ligerent piowers of' Europe, amid that it is pr'obale our Pr'esident will be au. thmorized to step ini between time comn. batamnts amid ad vise amnd entmreat them to do what each perhaps desimres se. emetly to do-for each pa:rty is lper. haps begimnning to aintjeipate that. thle w~ar' will be more than frumitless. Amnd the time seems propitious now. Th~e Czar sigmilhies his willinigness to tmreat upon the four poinits previo~usiy sub. mitted to him by thme Allies. Thelm Londn Times howvever' insists that even these concessions are nmot sufli. oient--that thme safety of conmmrce ini the Black Sea amid time safecty of' Tur. tey depend upon time destruction of' 9ebastopol. WVe do not pretend to nuch knowledge on the subject, but Me think that Snaini end tm cor. tueree of tihe Meditorranean might as reasonably demand the destruction of Gibraltar. We think that, a ealn re view of the causes of the war mid its already unhappy consequence- will dispose tll parLics to what is reasona ble and right and give peace agitiri to tho world ; and our nediatioi may effect this. We trust it will. 'lie Clouds Breaking. We feel assured that our readers will welcolne all intelligence indicating a re. turn of better times. Apprelhensions havo been felt as to the accurity of the commer. cial and lactorage establislinnenits of our cities, and of the great monetary embar rassments which would extend througth the country from continued failures at the emporia of trade. A friend who has just returned from Charleston informed us that rea' confidence is felt there that that city will safely weather tle storm; and his ap. prehiensi-ons were quieted by what he saw and heard of the condition of husliiess. The Charleston Mercury says : It is clecriigi to witness the mdications, however shight, of returniig conti leice ill the bu iess coimIunity. Tle advices from New York give hope that the pris. sure there has reached its chilnmiiatin' 1oint1, and at home the evideices are strengthening--ihat we have paused the Rlubicon.
