In respect to the war with Spain the fighting is over, but as a result of the fighting, a more difficult and a more humane task is before the people of the United States. We must take charge of tha is lands that have come iuto our pos session, and give to their peoples pacification, .restoration, regula tion^ cixilizatiou and eleva*' it be done th?!«ghlhd iu- trtrumerAality of our Army. The call of the country to rhich our volunteers responded, has been only in part satisfied ; the service iii which they engaged is by no means ended What remains to be done is, if not as exciting and dangerous, at least as noble, ns necessary and as patriotic as that which has been done. There is as much of true courage and patriotism, though with less cbanc- of applause, in taking coolly the risks ui an insa lubrious climate and in enduring the weariness of garrison lile, for the sake of the country, as in facing the bullets of the battle field. Considering too the condition of Cuba and the Philippine islands, it is highly probable that the armies of occupation will find not infrequent use for their arms aud uot infrequent ctll for the dash and daring of the battle field. The work that remains to be done, calls, however, for fewer soldiers, and so many can be honorably dismissed- It will be highly proper to re turn to their hom» s those who 1 have borne the heat and burden und loss of the lighting; and, that the former is being asked for by these men, should not be a reproach to them. I hope, however, that it is not true, that there is an unseemly rush to be mustered out on the part of soidiers whose sole expe rience has been that of the court of preparati< n Especially do I hope that this spirit does not prevail among the volunteers from South Carolina. Hitherto, in the history of our country, in each of its eventful years, our State has had honora ble, and often glorious mention. ! It would be a pity, to say the least, if in the grand chapter, the strik ing incidents of which are now so rapidly occurring, the Palmetto State should have hut little, if any place. We have hud an oppor tunity for ...demonstrating, once again, our martial and heroic spirit upon the battle Held; but we may yet do better, by the man ifestation of our chivalry, our hu manity, aud our intelligence, in the uplifting of the prostrate peo ples now at the feet of the United Mates. In this episode in our history, we have, so far, presented an unfortunate, if not a pusillan imous appearance among the States. Our metropolis, for some reason, despite its splendid war record, sulked, and would do noth ing- Its great daily, the News and Courier, opposed the war. at tributed the meanest motives to Congress and the administration in its declaration, sounded the cords of prejudice and snctioual bitterness, a id, in every way, used its large influence to discourage aud prevent anything like an en thusiastic response to the call for volunteers. The governor, though perhaps with the best intentions, blundered in his methods and the State was too proud and too wise to make up any part of its quota, as it could easily thave done, from its large negro population. As a result the gathering to gether of a Utterw aud two regi ment, has hwn a Vdiflicult, suiru- less, paiufulaud vlery slow opera tion, and ouivoluiilieers have been confined to Jflvumf preparation. OF MM AL INTEREST. Mouieiitlnic Abuui Hie Gulf Naval sior«* Comimiijr, In W tilrli the Mtiwr*. Cov ington Hie Olllcrm. As is known Messrs. H. L. and C. M. Covington, formerly of Florence, are engaged in the tur pentine business in FTorida. Their company is called the Gulf Naval Stores company, and in connec tion therewith the following from the Savannah Morning News will be read with interest: “It is proposed to make the cap ital of the Gulf Naval Stores com pany $250,000, fully paid in, with the privilege of increasing to any desired amount up to $1,000,000. The present amount invested in the business is understood to be about $100,000. As at present canstituted the company consists of Mr. H. L. Covington, president; Mr. C. M. Covington, secretary and treasurer, and Mr C. Down ing. IJnder the reorganization the management will probably remain unchanged. In addition to these gentlemen there will be interested in the company the Savannah Naval Stores company, the Down ing company, each of which will hold a large block of stock; and a number of large producers, includ ing Messrs. W. W. Beach, S. A. Alford, B. F. Bullard, A. Sessoms, O. D. Bass and otheis. A new house will be opened at Mobile, and probably also at Pen sacola. These are regarded as promising territories for an exten sion of business. The company has done a constantly growing and successful busin ertTWJjwrm | stores bus vice foFWr of Wf®uutry*, and to honor tho same influ ential pap** meeting discord be tween the peer’% and the men, and urginahe Hatter to clamor shamefully) be ojniustered out. It will nlbe t (forgotten that the p^per whilapurtjiuiug its unpat riotic coursl basi, with ludicrous aud pitiful fncoijiaistency, striven to secure fof Charleston some por tion of the floaveis and fishes that the war baq ba^to distribute, by clamoring for camps to be located in itssuburba and for troops to be shipped through its port; aud is now frantically spurring its unen terprising rich men to reach out after some of the fruits of the war, by opening up commerce with Cuba aud Porto Rico. Our regiments, however, are composed of Smith Carolina boys, and I believe that, whatever the discouragement! 9 , they will exhibit a true South Carolina spirit, and, if afforded the chance, will give an honorable ending to a story, that up to this point, has been somewhat humiliating to the State. R. ts WOl ing capital soWniarged the busi ness it will hereafter do will be multiplied. As a matter of fact, it is probable that as much money as it can profitably use will be at its command and that it will take rank speedily among the leading naval stores conceins of the South. The Messrs. Covington, who have been active managers of the busi ness at Carrabelle, are experienced naval stores men and to their abil ity the success of the concern up to to this time is considerably due. It is the impression that Mr. H. L. Covington will be the president of the new company which will retain the name of the old one.” CoiigreHNiiiaii Norton Sick. Congressman James Norton is reported to be seriously sick. He arrived in Columbia several days ago and said at the time that he was on his way to the mountains to recuperate, his physician hav ing so advised. He is stopping at the residence of Mr. J. J. McMa- Mahan. Dr. McSwain, formerly of Marion, but now of this city,, is attending Mr. Norton.—The State. Huekl•n , • Amlrn salve.

It seems as if our good and no ble McKinley would treat the Czar’s proposition of international conciliation with indifference. He should wait and see ; give us any thing that would annul unrest and advance civilization.
