That the entertainment of Stunner's cnfbHRl miscegenation us his price for our amnesty i.s not a prostitution of the whole white raee, and a disgrace to Con gress. advice fob colored pkople. Reduce taxes, if you want to own land. Vote against thieves, if you waut taxes reduced. Work hard, if you want to make money. Reduce the tuxes, if you want to keep it.

Know that honest polit'c -. never made any man rich, and look at your State officers. Of Some Matter, His haste, in order to get TnE Time* in the hands of the public, caused our printer, inadvertently, but entirely to omit a paragraph of oiir salutatory, where by our position was not so definitely stated as we would like. After giving our individual views, we wrote thus: "While these are our individual views, wcdoimt propose to use thorn any other wise *8& as a stand-point from which to discusWno current issues, nor in ntiy way nggrcssivoly advocate them. AVo pro pose to make Tin-: Times a political journal only in so far as is our duty, to serve the natural desire of our subscri bers to be somewhat posted in the poli tics of the day." We think, that if read in connection with our published remarks, it will take from them such acerbity as they un doubtedly had without it. We hope that we have individuality enough to meet all reasonable demands, but such individualism in journalism amounts in these critical times to schism Again we how. Personal, ' "We have to thank the editor of tho "News" for a very handsome announce ment of our appearance before the public. Grace and inclination both, enforce us to say, in return, that in Mr. Knowltdn, the "NeW hue secured the host talent in ite party. A gentleman of ability, of j birth nnd of ho;icnty, whoso mother was a j Southern lady, and himself further Idea* lificd with the true hearts of thft Booth by his marriage with a S uithcrn lady, we predict for our friend, Augustus 15. Knowlton, the ultimate confidence of tlic public, und success to influential emi nence. The fact of Mr. Knowlton's being a Republican, gives a dangerous element It. his control in the. future; but he. is honest and liberal, and thoroughly iden ??' '? Liie well-being of the State. ? The Kiglit Rev. XV. B. XV. Howe, onr Episcopal Bishop, visits .O.nugoburg uoxt weck, und will, on Wed nest lay, the 28th, administer the rite of confirmation to applicants for membership ml tho church, which has been entrusted to his pastoial care. Service to open at 11 O'clock ArM. ? . ? 9 i -? Bishop Howe's predecessor, the late Bishop Davis, was an eminent divine, whose charge; of the ehUroh was crowned with complete success, and his loss v.TUj deeply deplored by all members of tliclEpiscopal Church, to whom he had deeply oudvurcd himself by groat, beauty of character and Christian energy, under jvcry scyero bodily affliction. ; Our, present bishop comes to his charge with acknowledged, eminence, liberal views, the pronounced devotion of his lute congregation (St Philip's, Charles ton,) and the confident affection of his church at large. May God speed his work and crown hU labors with entire success^ The "NewV notloes our typical want of A head last week. What does the "News" say to the introduction of so much "tail" in its recent salutatory ? Was it not from the nbsonce of bead ? From the show of tail the public may, and possibly has argued the coexistence of too much ;eaw. ? ? . I Our want was merely typical. Wo arc here head and all. Cut of ycur tail and drop your cam We are here behind* tho Times, which we hope to advance; but not ahead of the "News." The devil is not yet Democra tic; wo hope to affect the conversion of all his followers, and add solitary confine ment to his punishment for Republican ism. - Rurvivokh' Association.?We again notice the anniversary meeting of the "Orangeburg District Survivors' Associa tion," to talcoj plaoo at tho Proabytermn Church, in this town, at 12 M, on the 22d instant. Parties attending will be pleased to hear that an address will be made, and music given on the occasion. It promises to bo a very pleasant reunion so far as the outside furnishing can predict. But this is not all that we would have; we would have the interest of the white peo ple of the county at large enlisted in this holy work?the exercise of a lively re momborancc of our dead heroes?the exercise of charitable service to their widows and orphans?the exercise of ac tive interest in the welfare of those whom they have left behind, solely to onr care in holy trust, as comrades in our recent civil struggle. Come then. Put down your plow and give one day in a year to this public dem onstration of charity. Conic as you come to church. The call is semi-rcligiotis. It claims your heart, your hand, your pride, your pres ence. Come not for tho speech nor the music. Come for honorable charity. The Hon. J. B. Bee:: and tho South ern States. Mr. Beck, of Kentucky, one of the .committee on the actual condition of the Southern States, makes the explicit state ment of tho debt of the nine Southern States, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas, "amounting in aggregate to tho sum of $^20,000,01)0. Not one dollar for Con federate wnr'debt; and nothing to show from many of the States, for millions im Ipued by State isnd county." In tho nervous and pointed language oi the gcntlemtn of Kentucky, wo pre sent the. record of the Governors, chief magistrates of these devoted StAtes: "In North Carolina, Governor Holden was successfully impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors; he is now edi tor of tho Government organ at Wash ington City. Governor Bullock, of (Geor gia, resigned his position, and fled from the State to prevent certain conviction for like offences. Governor Smith, of Alabama, retired Jn disgrace, proved to have officially plundered his State by illegal and corrupt issue &?Ov),??() of her bomb to the Alabama and Chatta iooga Kail Road Company. Scott, of South Carolina, proved by bis own partisans to be a public plunderer, who, if he escapes! impeachment, must buy bis corrupt Leg islature. Reed, of Florida, wilfully rob bing his State by illegally placing mil lions of hcrlmnds in the hands of such a thief as I/ittlefiohl is shown to be. Clay ton, of Arkansas, charged by a Radical grand jury for the most flagrant offences. Wnrmonth, of Louisiuua, if half that is said against him by his own party friends be true, is W.orjfe than any of them; Brownlow. while in Tennessee, made a pandemonium of that State; Davis of Texas, a tyrant und usurper, who is de nounced by his people regardless of party as a fiend in human form, whose orders and nets are a disgrace to American civil station?these arc he men placed by Con gress over seven millions people in nine once free ana independent States; men who arc loathed hud execrated by the people whose rights, liberty and honor it was their duty to protect; some have been overtaken, the others will be. Hated and despised, their only refuge, if they can escape the penitentiary, seems to be in the Senate of the United States." Who over heard of a Republic, entitled to that name, or of a free or self-govern ment, where a portion of the people, while held to citizenship and taxation, were denied equal rights and placed under baas, pains and disabilities ? And yet this is the actual condition of affairs in tho Southern Commonwealths of the United States. [Charleston Conric.* A Okkat Nu 18,0?(?!?:.?The hogs run ning at large in the streets.

We wish you a jolly good time, gentle men, and many returns of tbe occasion. By request of a business firm in this place, we would call the attention of the South Carolina Rail Road to the fact that a shipment of flour lo them, made in Augusta, on tho 12th insb, was put ofl the cars at Branchville, where it was de layed until the Kith, instead of coming directly through. While we like to see the entire and mutual devotion which ex ists between Charleston and the South Carolina Rail Road, we do not, ns a busi ness community, appreciate such a spirit of sacrifice on the part of the Road as abandons our merchandise "in transitu," and takes the transportation all to Char lcston.

They, for the most part, retail, and to induce trade, it is absolutely neces sary that they should keep a constant supply of staple commodities, of which flour is one. May wb ask, if Georgia got control ot the road; whether it is not probable that Augusta flour would come through briskly. Akiuvals at Meuoney'b Hotel. Dr. Whalcy, Fort Motte; J. ,T. Korr, G.A.W.

A young married lady says she sees no reason why two people should mope in solitude because they happen to have answered in tho ufHrmativo, in tho pre sence of witnesses, some very polite in quiries in the Prayer Book.

Miss* Jane Cameron, a highly esteemed nnd respectable lady, was burned to "death" in her room, in Greenville, on Thursday evening last.

The members of the legislature, having lost ho wily by hotting on Columbia against Klgofiehl in the rccont great chicken d spute be tween those two plaecs, have become, virtuous in their iudiguatiou, and are about to pass a law prohibiting the amiH^ v uicnt (V) of lock fighting altogether in the State. The bill provides that no town council, or mayor, or inteudant, shall grant a license for a main, nnd makes it obligatory upon such officers to report any violation ofjtho law to a trial justice, under penalty of a fine of not less than two hundred dollars, nor more than live hundred dollars.
