TKCE ZD-A-I^Liasrca-TOlsr IDEDVCOCK.-A-TJ <£, 1)c pcnmccrtt. WKI>.\EM>AY, KOTKMBEB »* A Wcceualty. There should be in every community, some thing to encourage » ttste for literature among the young, male and female, to coun teract the prevailing desire for frivolous and, too frequently, sinful amusements. There was a time in our roooBsuiion, when we had a flourishing Iiyceum ; the meetings were largely attended, and little difficulty was ex perienced in obtaining the services of able, and distinguished men as lecturers. The oommunity, by their efforts, were entertained and instructed, while the weekly discussions of living questions, developed the intellect and oritorical powers of the members. Wc have heard too, that at one time, there was in our midst a nourishing Circulating Libra ry. Why can it not be so again ? Profitable employment, either mental or physical, exerts a powerful influence in deter- iog the young from sinful indulgences. A circulating library could be established at a small expense to the several members. In this way, many'would have access to desira ble books who now have to go without them, or resort to borrowing—• bad practice, to say the least of it. An entertaiuiug and in structive boot;, would frequently keep the young man at homo, who otherwise, seeks amusement about town, with idle and vicious companions. The Lyceum, would by the exercises there had, give many not only a taste, but au actual thirst, for literary acquire ments. We commend this matter to the attention of our readers; and we hope that sime of them will eontinus to agitate it, until wc have both a Lyceum and Library which shall do credit to our community and much good to she rising generation. Our columns are opened to any who may desire to aid us in this good work. •‘The Democrat.” We greet our readers promptly this week and trust that such arrangements have been made, as will enable us to do so regularly in the future. It is the intention of those who now conduct the paper, to use their utmost efforts to mako it worthy of a hearty welcome in every family. In polities, it will be, what it has always been, true to the Democratic creed »i ouous- ly opposing all efforts from whatever quar ter, to lessen its influence by change of name or of principles, or otherwise. Confidently relying upon the native honesty and good sense of the masses, we anticipate the day, when true Democracy shall bo gloriously tri umphant ro our land ; when honesty shall be regarded a quallification for office and vil lainy shall receive its due recompense . of reward. The paper will be edited exeTuuvefy for benefit of the family of our deceased friend, the late Proprietor. He who assumes this labor of love, earnestly appeals to the friends or the Democrat, and to the charitable generally, to aid him with their pens, as well as with personal efforts, to exteud eur circulation. The wants of the office and of our deceased friend’s family justify ns in repeating the request made last week to those indebted to us. The amount is small to each one of them; its payment, while it relieves the needy, will enable us to do more for the en - tertainment of our readers. ClootlncxM Ut-acioiiM!! We extract the following fom t ’Ve Darling ton Correspondent of the Uaily Republican. Comments are unnecessaai/. PRWtjO.VNin. of the r..\K. “The court is a slow coach in every sense, and must stick on taxes heavily. The bar exhibits variety—quite a string, of do-noth ings and some men of talent. Warley con tributes the fun which seems to be his forte. Spaiu does the snarling—Mclvcr, the digni ty of the past—Fleming, the keen, astute and up with the times. He has an eloquence which flashes* when aroused, he belongs to Sumter, although he has a large and increas ing practice here, He is only too refined f and courteous for the rough arena of such a court.” * So it Joes. ■(■ Oh Jerusalem.. The Court. The October term o four Court adjourned ou Friday, after a laborious session of this week, one week being an extra term. His Honor Judge Rutland, exhibited an earn est desire to expedite business, and by his urbanity and kindness, coupled with his ar duous labors, commended himself to the good will of the bar and of litigants. A goodly number have beeu sent to board in Colum bia. We publish a list of the convicted and the sentences imposed: £. 1st. John Young and Bob Smith, Petit larceny one month in jail and pay cost. 2d. James Williams Isaac Ecklcsand Da vis Jones, Petit larceuy ; the two first Peni tentiary eight mouths, and the latter nine months. 3d Frank Gee Robbery Penitentiary twenty-five years. 4th. Samuel Johnson, Grand larceny, Penitentiary twelve months. 5th. Calhoun Mclver, Xsac Mclver, and Ida Mclver, Petit larceny, Penitentiary eight- teen months each. Ctb. Peter Gingham, Prctit larceny, Plead Guilty ; thirty days jail or pay costs of pros ecution. 7th. James Rasin, Assault and battery, thirty days in jail. 8th. Dorus Cook, Ned Edwards and Oran Thomas, Petit larceny, Penitentiary twelve months each. 9th. Dorns Cook, Petit larceny, Peniten tiary twelve months. 10th. Dorus Cook, same offence, 12 months- bodies politic of our pride, city and State. No wonder some of our frecdmvu are disgust, ed with sucb leaders. No wonder they are beginning to grow tirod and expressing de sire for change. “Let ’em have—rope,” <tc. Fire. c*.... Sale* Day, A goodly number of persons, of all colors, were at the Court House on Sales day. We can’t understand why so many of the eman cipated, leave their work on such occasions and waste a day from their labors, by which labors alone, they can ever be interested in the sale or purchase of property It is just such curiosity as this on the part of laborers which is destroying the material prosperity of the country. The exhibitions here on public days, satis fy us that we must have more reliable and constant labor, or abandon the idea of culti vating the soil to advantage. We don’t care whether we have Chinese or any other kind of labor, so longas it is constant and reliable. This is what we need and must have. Wc are driven to the conclusion, after ranch ex perience; that the negro will not do. For the present he is too much puffed up. He is too much elated by his imagined superiority ; and by the idea that, as he con trols, so he i>os*eset the land. He has te nn. derstand that political power in a Country is not legal title to its soil: until he does so, he in an actual expense. The lesson we have indicated, can only be taught by fearful experience, and when this experience has imparted its instruction, the descendants of Japheth will have established their superiority, and the suns of Canaan will be their servants. There is in the future a more terrible bondage for the negro than be has ever known, ’‘German tcufi. , . There is a painful conviction among the members of the bar here, that the false, scan dalous, dirty letter to tuc‘Daily Republican” signed “Gkemanious,” from which we have made extracts, is the original production of a member of the legal profession, non resi- deut here, although fathered by another. Wc were pleased to meet our friend^: ;>d for mer fellow-citizen. "Dr. C- J. days since. lie is on a borne in Arkansas. Ho count of the country atw^B^M^* seems marvelous to h an prices of the neecssa ttij. of it—beef at fiiroo and ^ corn at thirty-; cents ^rh^aiid otSfe articles at prices proportjg-"^ly low.' We trust our friend will enjoy himself among the friends of a life time, return safe ly to his family and prosper in the new coun try in which he has built bis home. * Fntrnc. The following is an extract from the vera cious (?) Darlington Correspondent of the Charleston Daily Republican. A more wilful and deliberate lie has never been published; the records of the court prove this. But, what more could be expect#! from one, who defames and vilifies a dying man, and publishes his slanders after that man is Lurried. Shame Upon such a creature, be he ever soastute. Mr. Timmon’s fault in the opinion of‘Germantcus’ was that he died in the faith and true to the gospel of which he was an herald : A JUDICIAL GUILLOTINE. “I have scon courts elsewhere, at the North and in Europe, and sonic pretty rough samples in the far West, but have never found exact ly such a machine. It is a judicial guillotine which takes off a black man’s head the moment it seizes it. If the defendant goes on the stand and swears to bis innocence, the solicitor and Judge remind the jury that they are not to believe him, for any ihbh guilty of such crime will lie to save himself. If he is not put on the stand, the solicitor and Judge remind the jury that he had the privilege, and as he did not avail himself of it to deny the charge, it is a strong circum stance against him, for if not guilty why did he not say so? So he is guilty any how The recent scenes in the Council Cham ber of the city of Charleston, can but cause our people some feelings of regret. Altho’ wc have douo all in our power to prevent the domination of the Radical party in this State, and are therefore, not responsible for the stains which they, net wc, are enstamp- ingupon her lair escutcheon, wc cannot re frain expression of regret that one State is in such hands. The impious deceptions, which irrespensible, fortune- socking carpet baggers and shameless scalawags have prac ticed upon the ignorant blacks, must recoil upon their own beads. The day of retribu tion seems to be setting in ahead of our an ticipations. Pampered black-men, taking their pretended friends at their word, arc showing them that they the negro is superi or to the white man, (at least the carpet bag and scalawag sort,) and in two instan ces lately white officials in this State have been chastised by their black comrades, in or about Gov. Scott’s head quarters. In the Board of Aldermen in Charleston, the den of pap-suckcrs and confederate ne gro doladera, freely pass the lie, and dis graceful imputations of crimination and re crimination. r J ho other night, one of the Mack tv s fired three times on tho other Mackly, but as old Mr. Lincoln used to say, “no body was hurt,”—nobody but the Wc learn that the barn of Mr. W. P. Gke, containing six thousand pounds of fod der and about two hundred bushels of choice cottou seed, was destroyed by fire early in the evening of the 30th ult. The fire was undoubtedly the work of incendiaries. The torch is very convenient and the ne groes, hound on by unprincipled white men, apply it freely. When white men set fire, it is generally to their own buildings, and for political purposes. #s?- One of the few really successful cntcr- prisesof the day is Pap.kf.u & Go.’s One Dollar Sale. Their system offers a greater opportunity for the purchase of the thousand and one useful articles, at a price that comes within tho reach of all classes, than any other. It is a well understood fact, that certain classes of goods pay the dealer a very large percentage of profit: This appears almost necessary, especcially in Fancy Goods, Jewelry, Silver plated Ware, &c., of which a dealer does not sell sufficient of any one article to make it an object of trade, and is obliged to purchase in small quantities ; and when the goods are sold by three or four classes of merchants, and each charge a very large profit, the price becomes double the original cost of manufacture before reaching tho hands of the people. It isin such goods Parker &Co., 98 & 100 Summer St., Boston, deal most extensively. There sales are so immense they make each article a specialty, often buying all a manu facturer can produce, Their system gives universal satisfaction. Read their advertise ment. COMM UNITED.

October 28. I’ve heard a great deal of tho prosperity of the South, and that one or two more such crops as the pre»ent year's would make us as prosperous as before the war. In many of the best parts of the South, I don’t believe, teieh the present available labor, one hundred such crops as the present would help: for I don’t believe there is a single planter in two- thirds ofthis country who has not steadily ■iost money since the war. I have never yet heard of the firstone who has cleared expenses unless on Savannah River rice plantations. Why sir, for want of labor, the country has become a mere waste—rats destroying the rice, corn and cotton in the fields—rats aud other vermin in inereditable numbers ; f'cnce- ing rotten or burned; the few houses left by the enemy going to ruin ; all the best lands in broomgrass; cane-briars ten feet high; the freedmen prefering to half work the poorest lands, which are more easily cultiva ted. From five miles south of Robertvillc, I will describe a few places: Mr. R. H.T's place—about 1000 acres of open land—there used to be made on it an nually, about 150 bales of cotton, 3000 or 4000 bushels of corn. There could easily be made ou it 500 bales of cotton. The pre sent year, there will be made about eighty bushels of corn and three or four bales of cotton. The next place—D. B’s—some very good lands not one acre cultivated. The next plantation, where 2000 and 3000 bushels oT rice used to grow, and 120 add 1-10 bales of cotton, and thousands of bushels corn, J. W. R's. place, some twenty freed men have made altogether 300 bushels of corn and three bales cotton. The next plantation, one of the best in the State, safe rice lands, good for from fifty to seventy-five bushels rice per acre, and of the best description, and where twenty to forty bushels corn used to be made per acre, and much of the laud, if well cultivated, would yield one or two bales, Dickson seed, per acre —where 140 bales used to be made, and thousands of bushels of rice and corn, there will be made about sixteen bales cotton and 500 bushels corn. None of tho freedmen tended over two acres each, aud of course only nominally tended. The ncxt place—that used to make twenty or twenty five bales, with about fifteen or twenty hands—will this year make four or five bales, in all; and from there south, on the Savanah River road, some thirty miles, in this State, it is no belter, if as good, as what I've described. The negro has become utterly insufficient as a laborer, and, as a citizen, a perfect nuis ance. There is, perhaps no place at the South where emigrants would be more warmly welcomed, or where they could do better in the long run. The lands are fertile convenient to market, and, for the most part, healthy. They are incomparably superior to tho sea islands. Range for stock is excel lent, and, on the salt water creeks, abundance of, fish and oysters. Cotton cannot be cultivated except with steady and reliable labor. Our lands are taxed from five to ten times as much as before the war. For over a month after tho tax- gatherer passed here not a man or a shop could not be found who could change a ?75 bank check. The tax collector had swept the country of all the money, and I am told many could not pay at that. As to the stealage, it would be almost ini credible by those who did not realize it. Many have had to break in their corn out of the fields, before it was well matured, to save it from theft, cotton is stolen still worse. The negroes are in a large majority over the whites. They, the former, will elect the magistrates, aud you can judge what chance we have to bring a tkiefto repentance through the law. The whites may be said to Lave virtually no rights; without the means of en forcing it. is a word without sense or meaning. Some of us are looking to the arrival of the Pigtail Celestials with some hope, but fear they will come too late for most of us. It seems to me that tho Southern States could, with diversified industry, reclaim im mense swamps—Mississippi and other—build railroads, make canals, operate factories, &c., and in a few years be able to support and profitably imploy two-thirds cf the whole population of China. The value of lands de pends upon tho laboring population. The laboring class in China, I learn, live almost wholly on rice, onions aud greens. All I jq Waring along the seaboard, aud for fifty miles off more rice can be made per acre than corn or small grain of any other kind, and I hope be fore three years to see at least this section cultivated by the vegetarian Pigtail and the grauiverous buffalo. The first can live on the grain, and the latter on tho straw, grass, &c., without expense. Two well broke buf faloes, ploughed each half a day, will do as much as a good mule- I have seen accounts that in parts of China they are regular can nibals, probably made from histories from travellers, such as the veracious Ferdinand Mendez Pinto, or Baron Munchausen, asd this of a people among whom human life is ^ so sacred that a mua i* executed if ho hap- usto kill another by accident. But, I say, are cannibals, and will confine tbehi- und the rats and other go ahead.

If they are farm hands and not town rats, as Tye-Kim Orr calls them, the writer will give them one-half or three- fourths of his lands, some four or five thou sand acres, if they will settle for life.
