THE NEGROES AND THE WAR.
1t would surprise the most ultra abolition
ist, to witness the devotion our slave popu.
lation exhibit to their young masters, who
are volunteers. Amongst many of the me-
groes, there is perfect fever Of excitement
to be granted permission to accompany the
volunteers to the war and should opportu.
nifty offer, to be allowed to engage in the
fray.
We know of an instance, when on the
first departure of the "Jasper Light Infant
ry," permission was refused slave to &C.
company his master. We are oredibly in.
formed that during the absence of the Com.
pany, this slave, although usually obedient
and industrious, has not performed three
serviceable days work. Frequently, while
trying to work, he would be observed in
tears; and on being interrogated as to the
cause, would answer in broken sobs that he
wanted to 60 to his master in the army !;
and would enquire, show will master do if
he gets sick ?" The boy being 80 very
anxious to go, his master took him along
on Monday last, and on the departure of
the train, as if to relieve the sad scene, be
was the gayest of the gay.

however, this side Of the State is In a hur'
ly burly to get back tomorrow orders
have come, and been extended, to this ef-
feet. We are not fully apprized OF the
cause or necessity or this sudden move
ment; but from the little time that will be
gained, and the many arrangements that
will be interfered with thereby, We judge
it to be pressing, and our apprebens'ons
are increased quite sufficiently to be bur
deusome. Though We have heard nothing
from the 5th Regiment, we will move TO-
morrow with the gallant boys of Laurens,
in order to avoid the possibility Of being
left behind. So, being on the wing-a
wing, too, from which you can pluck no
gray goose quill to write letter-you will
probably hear from US next, somewhere on
the banks of the Potomac. Then, if they
do not blockade our news port, as events
may determine. At any rate,
Yours faithfully,

Our Foreign Relations.

We learn from letters in the Northern
papers that the last foreign news, with the
debates in Parliament, produced decided
sensation in New York, especially among
the merc' ants and bankers. They con-
strued it to mean that, '.under the pressure
of strict neutrality, or non.intervention,
John Bull intends to side with the JEFF.
Davis usurpation as much as possible"
The Washington correspondent Of the
New York Times writes:
"There were no dispatches received at
the State Department by the Persia. This
is accounted for by the fact that neither
MIR. Dayton or Mr.. Adams had arrived at
their embassies when the Persia sailed -
The private letters received shcw unmis.
takabIy that the British Ministry was in
sympathy with the Southern rebels. The
letters from France induce the belief that
the French Government will be more friend
lily to the United States Government than
the British. All the letters received iudi-
cate prevalent belief through Europe that
the dissolution of the American Union is
fixed fact, and that European Governments
are acting upon such theory"
A New York ship.buider writes as fol.
lows from Liverpool:
"Our enemies are here working their
treasonable schemes. I met them at Brus-
sells, buying arms and ammunition. They
haze purchased nearly one hundred riaed
cannon in this country, which are soon to
be shipped, probably from Liverpool. l
hone to be able to send word by ,0hat ves-
sels, in time to have them seized. hear
of them at Manchester and Birmingham, in
search of rifles, &c. Their headquarters is
at the new hotel, Westminster, and learn
that our Consul General Campbell, a South
ern man, meets, counsels and advises them"
The Philadelphia Press says that it will
appear that Mr.. Adams, the Minister to
England, has been authorized to say to
Lord John Russell and Lord Palmerston,
that any attempt, directly or indirectly, Of
6cially, to treat with or recognize the Com
missioners of the traitors now in arms g.
gaiust this Government, will be immedi.
ately followed by demand for his pass
port, and by a declaration, in the name Of
the United States, that all the e1equaturs
granted to the British Consuls and coumer-
cial agents in this country will be immedi-
ately forfeited and withdrawn.

OUR VOLUNTEERS.

The members of the volunteer compa.
MES of the 5th Regiment, who have been
amongst us on furlough for the past week,
left on Monday morning last. We observ.
ed quite a number Of new recruits in the
ranks of the different companies. We are
reliably informed thatthe volunteers were to
rendezvous at Orangeburg until yesterday,
when they take their departure for the seat
of war They are gallant band, and we
extend to them hearty God speed and
wish them a safe return to their homes, or
a peaceful sleep in honored graves.

DEATH OF A VOLUNTEER.

1t becomes our painful duty to announce
the death of our friend Mr.. G. WASHING.
TON MASON, a member of the "Catawbs
Light Infantry" who died in Columbia, Oh
the 30th ultimo. He was attacked with
fever while on duty at Sullivan's Island
and was being removed to his home in this
district. His remains arrived at the depot
on Friday last, and were escorted through
the town bya detachment of the "Catawba
Light Infantry" the "King's Mountain
Cadets" and the "Jasper Light Infantry"
1t was sad and solemn scene In another
column will be found fitting tribute te
the memory of the deceased.

suppose, from reading the Northern jour
nails, that they never had the expectation
that any of their men would be killed al
the South. Says the New York correspond
ent of the Press:
1t is impossible to express the uuiversal
feeling that exists in the city to-day, espe-
cially among the members of the Fire De-
partment, at the assassination of the gallant
young Ellsworth. On the face of every
fireman is written, in unmistakable Ian.
guage, "Revenge" Woe to the enemy
that faces that Regiment! The spirit OF
demons is within them to avenge the wan
ton cold blooded murder of their brilliant
young chief.
A letter from Washington to the Press,
says:
Mrs. Lincoln and her sister visited the
Navy Yard to-day, where the body of the
deceased soldier was lying in state, and
placed a beautiful bouquet upon the re.
mains. It is understood that his private
secretary is preparing an obituary notice
for the newspaper press. The body of COL
Ellsworth was opened and embalmed by DR..
Holmes, the inventor of the patent embalm.
ing process. The funeral will take place on
Saturday afternoon. The ceremonies will
be of an imposing nature.
MEcHANIcsvILLE, N. Y, May 27.-On
the arrival of the train to day, which con-
veyed the remains of Ellsworth to his home,
minute guns were fired, and the entire popu-
Iation of the surrounding country assembled
to evince their universal sorrow. The pro-
cession was then formed, embracing a num-
Der of military and fire companies. Along
the route, many buildings we're shrouded in
black, and all flags were at half mast. The
roads were crowded with spectators.
After the customary funeral services at
the grave, in which several clergymen as
sisted, the face of the deceased was uncov-
cred, and the people passed in procession to
obtain a parting glance. The body was
then lowered into the grave, the men Of
the company formerly drilled by him
the Chicago Zouaves-6ring avolley over it.
Then grounding their arms, they took SHOW
els and filled in the grave. Three volleys
were subsequently fired, and the multitude
of mourners dispersed.

Tribute of Respect.

At meeting of portion of the "Ca.
rawba Light Infantry" company, at Bethel
Church, Committee was appointed to draf,
preamble and resolutions in regard to the
death Of Mr.. G. W. Mason, member Of
the company, who was the first in the 9th
Regiment stationed at Charleston) to fall
10 the defence of our liberties. The de.
ceased departed this life in the city of Co.
lumbia, on his return home, on the 30tt
utimo. He had been severely attacked
With fever at Sullvan's Island, and removed
to that city.
Seldom is the desolatiug power of death
more sensibly realized, and more keenly
felt by bereaved kindred and sympathizing
friends, than in the recent death of Mr.
|G. w. Mason. He has been cut down in
the morning of life He has not lived in
vain. By nature he was endowed with all
the elements of character necessary to con.
stitute useful and energetic citizen, true
patriot, kind and affectionate husband
and father. To administer to the wants and
necessities of others, was to him pleasing
duty. To advance the interests and cause
of his country was prominent feature in
his character; and to rescue his beloved
country from tyranny and despotism, he
marched to the battle field with spirit Of
bravery and patriotism that will ever com
mand the highest degree of love and es
TEEN. Upon the altar of liberty he was
willing to sacrifice his life and all the ties
Of his beloved family and friends. In bis
death, York District has lost one of its most
efficient citizens. Every public enterprise
connected with the interests of tie country
shared his untiripg attention. The loss Of
20 valuable life to loving and affection
ate wife and children, can be better imag.
ined than described. The scene is too sol.
emu to draw aside the veil which hides
from the world the deep anguish of those
stricken aud bleeding hearts. May the
Lord in his tender mercy soothe their trying
aflictions and sanctify them to their good
Be it RESOLVED, therefore,
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1861-06-05

ARRIVAL OF GENERAL BEAUREaARD
AND STAFF.-This distinguished officer,
accompanied by Ex-Governor Manning
of South Carolina, Major Major D. R.
Jones, Captains Chisholm, Raymond and
Manning arrived in Richmond yesterday,
at noon, on the train from Petersburg
Hundreds of citizens and soldiers gathered
to give them welcome, and it was not
without great difficulty that Beauregard
was taken from the cars, hurried through
the crowd, and driven in private carriage
to his headquarters at the Exchange.
The people surrounded the vehicle,
cheered, shook him by the hand, and
seemed satisfied to touch even the 'hem of
his garment Modestly acknowledging
these demonstrations, he avoided them as
quickly as possible, and turned the nearest
corner to escape the decorating cheers that
followed the carriage on every side. For
a moment he stopped at the Spotswood, to
pay his compliments to the President, but
that gentleman being absent, he proceeded
on his way to his own h2tel. 1t is proper
to add that Mr.. Hoeninger, of the Spots.
wood, had prepared for his reception a
handsome barouche and four, but the brave
General, with his characteristic modesty,
chose more republican mode of convey,
ance in the shape of an ordinary hack, and
very ordinary one it was, too.
Many gentleman called on him during
the day and evening, to pay him their
compliments. Richmond Dispatch.

Starving the South.

A correspondent of the Baltimore Sun
makes the following interesting comparison
between the productive power of each sec
ton, compiled from the statistics Of 1860.
We commend it to those Nortberners who
are continually harping on the poverty of
the South: ...s....a..
will select, first, South Carolina to run
the parallel with, for several reasons, the
chief of which are, that she has been sup
posed to produce nothing but cotton and
rice, and she is the most derided and con-
temned of all the slaveholding States. Not
many persons are aware that this State a.
lone produces FIVE sixths nearly of all the
rice grown but the seventh census Of 1850
shows that to be the fact. Besides nearly
all the rice, she produces wheat to within
5000 bushels OF all produced by the six
New England States together. She pro-
duces almost as much corn as the State of
New York, and 100000 of bushels of
that grain more than all the New England
States together, for she produced upwards
Of 16 10000 of bushels. .~
She produced more oats than Maine,
more by 100000 of bushels than Massa.
chusetts; more than 100000 bushels Of
potatoes over and above what Maine pro-
duced more beans and peas b: 100000
bushels than all the Northern States to-
gether, except New York; more beef cat
tie than Pennsylvania by l740, and almost
as many as all the New England States to-
gether; more sheep than Iowa and Wiscou.
sin by 1O, 500; more hogs than New York by
47,25l; more that Pennsylvania by rs, l37,
and $4,000 more than all the New England
States, with New Jersey, Michigan, Wis
oonsin and California in the bargain more
horses and mules by 10000 than Maine,
New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Rhode
Island together; besides all which, she
produces largely of oxen, COWS, and va
riety of products of the smaller kinds.
Virginia and North Carolina produced
jointly 1858, 900 bushels of wheat, or
241, 900 bushels more than the great wheat
State of New York, or quantity equal to
the whole product of the six New England
States, with New Jersey, Michigan, Iowa
and Wisconsin all put together. Virginia,
North Carolina and Tennessee produced
l5,47l 1893 bushels Of corn, a quantity
exceeding by 100000 bushels the joint pro.
duct Of New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts,,
New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine.
Tennessee alone produced 16,5OO more
hogs than all the six New England States,
with New York, Pennsylvania, New Jer-
sey, Iowa and Michigan, for that State pro-
duced 3,lO4,SOO hogs, while the eleven
Northern States named produced but g..
OsS,394. Most people have thought that
the North was really the hog producing sec.
tion, but such is by no means the fact
the Whole number Of hogs produced in
1850, was 30,3l6, ,6OS-of which the slave.
holding States furnished 20,77O,73O, or
more than two-thirds of the whole swine
production.

THE CROPS.

We took occasion on sale-day to make iu'
quiry as to the condition and prospect ot
the crops in this District. From every aecY
ton we receive the most cheering reports
Wheat is very fine and abundant. Corn is
in fine growing condition, aud with good
seasons, large crop is anticipated. Oats
are promising; and cotton looks healthy,

VOLUNTEERS FAMILIES,

Our attention has been called to the ne.
cessity of looking after the condition of the
families of volunteers. There may be some
families who are in needy circumstances,
and to whom assistance from the communi.
ty would be acceptable, but who are unwil'
ling, of their own accord, to let the fact be
known. 1t is suggested that public meet
ing of the citizens of the district be held at
an early day, to take such action in the
premises as may be necessary.
