OURSELVES.

We have our bills made out up to the 1st
of January. and will be happy to place re-
eeipts on the same as speedily as possible.
Our expenses are as heavy as usual in pub
fishing the "Civlian & Telegraph, because we
cannot diminish our force, while the busi-
ness of the establishment suffers heavily, in
common with other branches of business.
And besides, everything connected with the
publication Of the "Civilian g. Telegraph" is
cash nowadays. The paper maker wants
cash, the ink maker demands cash, and the
lands must have cash every week-and I'M
less we receive cash for what is due us, we
may be compelled to suspend, also, as hun
dreds of others have been compelled to do
throughout the country. To call often for
small sums is attended with heavy expenses,
and therefore we hope that all those who are
indebted will either call or transmit the a.
mount of their Indebtedness as soon as pos
sible, so that we can meet our engagements
also.
All subscribers in arrears for the Civilian
d Telegraph" over two years. will have their
saaes stricken from our list unless they pay
some attention to our bills or give us the
reason why they are not paid. The times
are such that we cannot afford any longer to
furnish the ''Civlian & Telegraph" to those
who refuse or neglect to pay for it.
In future all advertisements for publca-
tion must be accompanied with the cash or
they will not appear. The cash will also
be required for all job work.

THE YEAR 1861,

This has been an eventful year. In COM
ing time the historian will refer to 1861 with
feelings like those with which we now look
back to the dark ages, when the world was
staggering under load of superstition and
licentiousness. Since New Years day 1861,
dark deeds have been planned. heresics dam
nablo in their character have been promul-
gated and we have witnessed the outbreak
of the greatest and most unholy rebellion the
world ever saw. For years it has been grow
ing and finding lurking place in the swamps
and cotton fields Of South Carolna-for
years have demagogues and traitors and dis
'unionists been conspi-ng to overthrow our
great American Grsernment, not caring. in
their despcraf,u, if even they themselves
wete Involved in the general ruin. But it
was left for 1861 to develop all the mad
schemes of :hese bold, bad men, The cloud
which showed itself years ago not larger
than mans hand, grew lusty and strong
beneath the pamperins hand of office and
power, until at last it has burst in terrible
fury over our heads, striking at the very
corner stone Of all we hold dear-our Gov
ernment, our liberties, our homes. But sud-
den as was the onset of the disunion forces,
they have been met by a power which, in
their scheming, they had never taken ac-
count. They did not imagine how deeply
the love for the Government of our fathers
was ergrafted in the breasts of the American
people. They learned it, however, when
they heard the answering shout of defiance
which THE PEOPLE sent forth when the news
went flashing over our land that the stars
and stripes had been lowered from Sumter's
walls they see it in the solid breast work of
brave hearts that now encircle the Capital of
the nation ; they realize il in the arm cd forces
of Unionists that now threaten them on
every hand and still more fully will they
feel and know the power of the Govern
mont they have tried to overthrow, when
those armies begin their march to punish
treason and re-estabsh the supremacy of
the nations flag. 1t may be that before the
day comes which shall witness their total
defeat,
"Full many a banner shall be torn,
And many knight to earth be borne"
But none the less certain will be the triumph
of the Union cause-none the less sure will
be the re-establishing of the power and ma
jesty of the Government
Let us look the future hopefully in the
face. Although the last sunset of 1861 wit
messed our land discordant, belligerent, let
us hope that when another year shall have
been added to the past, we may behold our
nations banner "still full high advanced !"
its arms and trophies, streaming in all their
original lustre, not stripe erased, or a single
star obscured OF polluted, and that we may
hear the cry swelling up all over the land,
Liberty and Union, now and forever, one
and inseparabe."
