We begin the New Year under the 1ircliest
possible auspices. New Orleans and Memphis
have come up here, and political excitement,
whisky and prescription arc tho order Of the
dsy-And night.
The question-Haye we Republicans among
us ?~is e1nsperatingly discussed In all places.
To-day the Court 1c-echoes thepopular e.auf r
and NC hare string Of indictments for tLc
examination Of the public. Frank II. Tracy,
D. ". Wilder, B. r. Chenowcth and s. c. Ian
don are indicted for their connection with the
F5ae Democrat, Republican newspaper, aud
c. C. Woolworth, q bookseller, is on the same
list on the charge Of having sold The Hdper
Book. WooIworth and Landon were arrcsteil
md gave bonds for their appearance; the pull
lishers Of the Free Democrat arc thought to be
In Kansas.
4 law was passed Inst winter especially for
The benefit OF persons charged with having m
undue familiarity with "inccndiary publica,
tion." Add to the infamous statute the will
ing assistance Of \ bigoted pro-slaYc,y juzy,
mud the packing skill Of an eager pro-slaycry
sheriff, and It Is not difficult to see that "Aboi-
tlonists can be easily convicted.
It is expected that the newspaper Office will
be declared 4 nuisance and thrown into The
river. a few thousand dollars will thus be
easily destroyed, few printers thrown out ol
employment, the labor Of nearly two yea,.
quickly put to naught, and Republican pzinci
pies forever defeated IN this proscriptiye 10
cality.
Union men arc silent, conservative meu
"hope for the best" aud the noisy, drunken
mob have things their own way. Property
holders may find out hereafter that cyer
"Dutchmen," Methodist psalm-.tugers and
"b1ne-bellied Yankees ARE good citizens, and
contribute somewhat TO the growth and pros
perity Of d town. They may be too late IL

but they seek to oblitcrate the ideas upon
which the war Of the Revolution was

achieTcd, and to erase, as with a sponge,
from the minds Of the people Of that rebel
lions State, all recollections Of our Nation
al glory mud Of those emblems and days
which are inseparably connected with the
achievement Of our liberties. One of the
first at{s Of the secession convention was
to blot out Independence day from the cal
endar, and henccforth the Fourth Of July,
with all its glorious memories, is to be TN
= known in South Carolina, and the Declara-
kion Of Independence to become q sealed
book to the people. Next followed the
nstional flag, and the substitution in its
stead Of palmetto within the coils Of o
veaomous snake. Our national airs-Yau-
kee-doodle and Hail Columbia-were first
hissed and then banned forever. The man
who should have the temerity to whsle, sing
orplay, within the boundaries OF that State,
either Of those glorious old tunes to which
our fathers were wont to march close up to
the cannon's mouth, would su1nmarily
meet felon's death. OF course ctr Ma
tional history Will also be doomed to the
eame oblivion that has been decrccd to the
fourth ofJuly, the flag Of freedom and our
national songs. And to effect This the
more certainly, it is reported that new
system Of civil tune, similar to that institu-
ted IN France, under the first Napoleon,

mus. be abolished along with everything
else that might by any possibility suggest
human freedom and the inalienablc char

stead some term be substituted that
will be significant of an empire
whose chief cornerstone IS Slavery. By
what name the new era shall be designated,
a2pcars yet to be subject Of discussion in
Bouth Carolina. But it is gratifying to
know that no term endeared to freemen OF
suggestive Of liberty will be selected to give
significance to despotic retrogression from
Republican ideas and Republican forms.
: Mad as the Secession leadersare, they have
not quite forgotten that the white pop tla-
lion Of South Carolina are sprung from
that great Imperial Race which, from the
earliest historic period, have fought f,r

Union men, three hundred for the ac-

ters were at a great barn, belonging TO j.
Fl. Meyer. near Cole Camp. The camp
was surrounded by strong line of senti>
nels, and by scouting parties, SO vel
guarded that no attack was apprchended.
Most OF those sleeping in the barn even
