DEAR SIR have the honor to report that
the organization of the First Regiment of
South Carolina Volunteers is now completed
The regiment is light infantry, composed of
ten companies of about eighty-six @en each
armed with muskets, and ofkcered by white
men. In organization drill, discipline and
morals for the length of time it has been IN
service, this regiment is not surpassed by any
white regiment in this Department. Should
it ever be its good fortune to get into action,
l have no fears but it will win its own way 10
the cosGdence CT those who are willing to re-
cognize courage and manhood, and vindicate
the wise policy of the Admi nistration, in put
ting these men into the Geld and giving them
chance to strike blow for the country and
their own liberty. In no regiment have ey.
er seen duty performed with so much cheer
fulness and alarcity As sentincss they are
peculiarly vigiant. ! have never seen in any
body of men such enthusiasm and deep seat.
ed de votion to their officers as exist in this
They will surely go where they are led. Every
man is q volunteer, and seems fully persuaded
of the Importance of his service to his race
10 tie organization CT this regiment have
lat tored nnder difficulties which might have
discouraged one who had less faith in wisdom
of the measure, but am glad to report that
the experiment is complete success. Ny be-
lief is, that when we get footing on the

do more than any now in service to put down
this rebellion

TOW WANDA:
Thursday Morning, February IL, 1868.

s9~ Our neighbor of the Argus, is fast
sasting off the thin disguise which he has
worn, and advocating in his columns the doe.
trines aud views which he does not hesitate
personally to avow. His sympathy with the
peace. conservative copper-head semi-secession
lists becomes every day mere and more sppa-
rent. The bargain which was made last fall,
when the Argus struck hands with the demo
cratic leaders, reaches its consummation, and
from present appearances, we shall soon have
the Argu, enjoying the uuenViable position
of Democratic organ
We have seen many cases of shamefulpolit-
ical apostacy, but none so iamentable as that
presented by the Argus. When it was al
organ of the Wing party, there were none
more earnest in propagating anti slavery views
and since it has sailed under Republican
colors it has professedly advocated the meas
uFes of the Republican party. Nol0 it be-
comes suddenly conservative, and though the
editor does not print the sentiments he SO
loudly proclaims personally, yet lis enmty to
Republicanism is apparent in each issue. Ii
Republican principles ever had foothold
with him, contact with his newfound Democra
tic friends and patrons has succeeded in eradi-
eating theH completely. If thisis not so, why
the exultaton of the 1rgu, over the election
of Mr.. BCCKALEw as Z. S. Senator Why
the endorsement of that ultra pro slavery
Breckenridge democrat Why does the Ar,
gus allow itself to use such slang in speaking
of the removal of postmasters, as They are
for the Union Don't believe niger is any
better than white man 2" Such expressions
in the connexion in which this was made are
the grossest blackguardsm, indnlged in only By
pro slavery fanatics, as q term of reproach to
Republicans. Men who use such expressions
are generally those who believe that white
man who owns nigger is better than nan
who don't !! At any rate, it is vile sentence
to fling at Republican Senator ard Con-
gresham
That the honest, intelligent portion of the
voters who followed the Argus in supporting
the Peoples ticket last fall, are becoming
alarmed at the progress made 10y that sheet
towards the Democracy. We have evidence
every DAY. The meal contains too large
eat, entirely. While thsy thought they had
abuses which needed rcctifying they had no
idea Of apostalizipg end abandoning their prin-
cipes We do not believe such have any idea
of throwing contempt upon al the doctrines
they have sustained for years. Such course
may suit the editor Of the Argus who has no
principle except interest, bnt it will inevitably
lead him to the common fate of all who base
ly desert their principles and turn their backs
upon the professions Of years.

TRANSFER OF THE SHAMOKIN VALLEY AND

tral railroad has become the owner of the Sha
mokin Valley and Potisvile railroad, having
taken lease for period of nine hundred and
ninety~nine years. The terms and conditions
Of this important sale and transfer were

ent from Sunbury to Mount Carmel dist
ance of twenly-eight miles, through the heart
of the Shamokin coal region, connects with
the Northern Central at Sunbury. The roa
is in excellent condition, and promises TO be
one Of the most valuable aud prosperous rail
roads in the country. As a feeder to the
Northern Central Railroad, and the PlIiIa-

conference took place in Liverpool Ga Janua-

on Of the South, attempted to resuscitate the
argument that Slavery could be supported on
Scriptural grounds, but the meeting refused
to hear him. He, however, like all other
English champions of the South, expressed q
desire for the cessation of Slavery, aud hope
that the independence of the South would
hasten that event. A resolution in favor of

large majority, ard Committee appointed to
bring the subject before the people of Liver
