show" without remembering that the latter class
have no other use for money than to spend it as /
they please, and thus they are always found m.
prepared for such occasions as the present when |
they can find no employment at which 10 earn the
necessares OF life while the slaves have masters TO
supply their wants, however tight the times may |
be.
FAYETTE LIGHT ARTILLERY.-Fors some |
time past this old and popular corps has bean
IN such state OF dsorganzation, that its warmest
friends despared Of ever seeing it rally and again
become valuable of the volunteer force of the
State With the hope of rejuvenating, the men,
bers and friends held meeting at Military Hall,
they thought most likely to bring about the de- |
sired end. A committee, appointed for the pur- |
pose, reported series of resolutions and recon-
mendatons, which were adopted, the substance of |
which we append:
That as an initiatory step towards re-organizins
the company, each non-commissioned officer at
once Withdraw from the Office he now holds.
That each member OF the company, and all per
sons desirous OF becoming members, within the
next thirty days from this date, sign these resolu
tions and pay IS at the time Of signing as an ipi
tiation fee to the person who may hereafter be
pointed to receive the money.
That each person signing these resolutions will
promptly attend all meetings ordered by the proper
authority, unless he be prevented by sickness OF
some other unavoidable canse.
That each p.rson. n.signing these resolutions will
adopted by the company, within sixty days after
the company shall have organized.
That chairman be chosen by the company,
with power to order and preside over all meetings
| that may take place before the company In organ.
ised; and that secretary be ALSO chosen 20 record
the proceedings of such meetings, and to receive
any money that may be paid in. sle
That aEy person who, having signed these Teso-
lutions, shall fail to comply with them, any
of them, shall forfeit his membership nj IateveT
| he may have paid into the COMPANY
The committee suggested that ,he cor. y COM
prise two classes of members-actiFe an0 contrib
| Nting-who shall be governed hy sbe by-lavs here
AFTER TO be adopted Each contributing member
| shall pay 50 on en-5itnr his nsTlo, and the ike
| sum annually thereafter as long as his name re-
| mains Eeon tAe roll
The monev raised tC0u contributing members Is
to constitute -D- beneficiary fnud" and be deposit
ed at jEterest a. Soon collected Out of this fund
no expense of til company is to be paid, but the
| money 70 be sppT Jpristed hereafter provided.
| Every member having served faithfully and eff
ciently s th1ee years consecutively, is to be pre-
| sented with silver medal, to be paid for out Of
the beneficiary fund The medal is to have in
scribed upon enc side the court of arms of the
company, and upon the reverse, certificate that
| he has served as above. Any member serving ST.
ven years. faithfully and efficiently, is to be pre-
sented with silver gold goblet, of the value Of
S25 with suitable inscriptions thereon, to be paid
| fer out of the beneficiary fund.
Thus much for start towards re-organizing. II
5uitable men now be induced to fill the Offices
men Of high standing, military talents and ex-
tensive expcrience--success is certain but with
edit these requisites. however devoted its officers
may be to the corps 1t will pine and die. Artillery
service is no childs play, and to be eficient must
have in its ranks working men. To get these, a
| neat, cheap uniform should be adopted, and if a
monthly tax were levied to aid the members in
sickness, to bury them when they die, and to care
for and educate their orphan children, the class OF
persons most needed to make up the corps, weald
be u,ost apt to enrol their names.

| SUGGESTION TO SLAVE OwsERs.-A to-
bacconist of this city gives t his opinion that
the owners of such slaves as are usually employed
in factories, would get better hire for their
wants if they were to keep them Ut horae until the
middle of February or FIRST Of March, and gives as
| reason. that but few factories will commence
operations before spring. and that the manufactu-
rers would have an opportunity to get their hnan-
| ces Strengthened, and know what they would be
able to do for the remainder of the year. If the
hiring 10 commenced on the 1st of January next
as heretofore, many Of the manufacturers viii not
be prepared to commence operations, and must
then decline hiring, unless at low prices. From
present indications, servants will hire for mach
less the coming year than the present.
BAD CHARAcIERs.-There are more
desperate characters in the city jail ct this time
than was ever known before. and unless extraor.

The City Council has been asked to raise the north

place more secure, but the job has not yet been
