balcony of the Planters House: s-
The band played national air, and as the
strains Of music ceased the crowd became
mute, and listened to catch the sound of the
Generals voice. - -r .u...5 ae g. q

Load cheers followed this brief address,
at the close of which the General replaced his
bat, took a cigar from his pocket, lit it, and
stood on the balcony, in the presence of the
crowd, putting his Havana and watching the
rockets as they assembled and burst in the air.

The Argument Of Prejudice.

The Argument Of Prejudice.
The chief argument against emancipation
with the more ignorant and vicious part Of
the people has been that the free States would
be overrun with colored laborers who would
take work out of the hands and the bread out
Of the mouths of white men, 1t is now over
ayear since the policy was proclaimed and
slaves freed. Are we overrun by them? Are
laborers of any kind too numerous? Are
not wages higher than they were before, and
laboring men better rewarded for their toll
than at any previous time in the history Of
the country! In short, is it not perfectly
clear that the assertion of danger to the labor
ing interests was lie for political effect?
True Democracy recognizes the right of
every human being to the benefit Of his own
honest industry. But the miserable rump of
party which falsely calls itself Democratic
Is distinguished chiefly by its contempt for
human rights. The Courier, of this city, as
the local exponent Of that party, has been
filled since the Presidents Proclamation by
appeals to the prejudlees and passions Of the
most ignorant citizens. Its constant effort
is to inhame Irishmen against negroes. What
lofty endeavor? What noble party it
serves How deserving is that party to have
the interests of the country con6ded to its
keeping!

Of Gov. kirkwood is in all respects an admir-
able document, which would be creditable to
the talents and patriotism of any Governor Of
any State. Ditto as to the Inaugural of Gov.
Stone. One does not expect much but "glit.
tering generalities" in an inaugural, but one
will find much more in that Of stone-prac.
teal suggestions, strong reasoning, sound
doctrine, eloquence, ardent patriotism. Both
the message and inaugural are most highly
spoken Of by all our Iowa people here. OF
course we rejoice with exceeding great Joy
over the reelection of Senator Grimes.

O. Beaufort, s.. c., once the private resi-

lords, is being sold off in twenty-acre lots at

der order of the Commissioners of the Treas
ury Department, aided by Gems. Gilmore
and Saxton. Soldiers and sailors have the
advantage, as they can buy one lot if single
men, or two if married, by paying two-ffths
of the purchase money down and the re-
mainder at the end of three years. Civilians
musi pay cash, and soldiers are not allowed
to buy for them. Notwithstanding the ad.
vantages given to white soldiers and sailors,
negroes are the principal buyers, and they
are likely to get about the entire possession
of the place and its environs. The buildings,
