The threatened trouble at Georgetown lias passed and "grim-visaged war hat h "smoothed his wrinkled front." The soldiers who responded so promptly to the call of the Governor hare returned to their ordinary vocations, and the ignorant and ill-advised negroes who tried to set themselves above the law have been taught i very wholesome lesson 111 good behavior. The people of Charleston have reason to he proud of the alacrity and promptness with which the Charleston troops answered the call of the State, and with their splendid conduct in the Held. Their service was most highly appreciated by tho peoplo of Georgetown, Mayor Morgan taking occasion to say to them, before they left Georgetown for their homes, that their quick response in the hour of need would never be forgotten by those whom they had served, and that their presence had had a most happy effect upon tho lawlessly inclined. It was a short campaign, but it was very effective, the movement of the troops" from Charleston being accomplished with true military precision, the only delay being caused in the load* # .1 i r? i i itig oi trie rapia-nre gun, wnicn had to be adapted to the cramped quarters of the baggage car. The conduct of the soldiers on the run to Georgetown and in camp while there was all that the severest military regulations required and while this was to have been expected, of course, it is worth noting, because it demonstrated the great value and importance to the community of a welldisciplined and well-armed body of citizen soldiery prepared to sustain the civil authorities in the administration and enforcement of the law.?News and < -ourier.
