THE Duty OF THE SOUTHERN People

THE Duty OF THE SOUTHERN PEopLE.-
Our people, the people of all the South.
should arouse themselves to true sense Of
their present political condition, and reso.
lute'y resolve to discharge every duty re.
quired of them as citizens of the United
States, or that may be required of them
by the laws of the land, and their obliga-
tions to society. their families and friends.
There is much for them ell to do, and time
to do it in; but there is no time for the
indulgence of feelings of humiliation. or
of any other that will detract from their
usefulness to society or to the State-the
country in which they live, or of which
they are citizens.
The lot Of the South is the award Of
destiny. There is no power on earth
certainly none within the limits of South
ern territory-that can change it. We
must receive it and abide by it, Let this,
then, be done, not in a despopdent but in
hopeful spirit; not as people humiliat-
ed in their own estimation, when thew are
not so in the WORLDS not as race 'infe
rior to any, but as race equal to anv, in
all the attributes conferred by his Maker
upon man.-ANamta ImtclEgemcer.

Trade.


! ferent railroads in the State arc placed in
running order. there will be brisk trade
between this city and the cities and towns
in the interior. A number of our enter.
prising merchants. in anticipation of this
trade, have taken large stocks of goods to
points on the North h-eastern and the South
Carolina Railroads, and offer to take cot.
ton III exchange for the merchandise. The
People In The country are very dcsirous to
provide themselves with dry goods cloth
ing, groceries. etc.. but have not the cash
with which to purchase. With the cotton.
however, which they have ON hand, they
Will find no difficulty in making bargains.
what the people are mostly in want of
no" are faculties for transporting cotton.
Horses and mules are very scarce, and
there are few wagons to be obtained. Even
when the railroads are in operation the
holders of cotton will meet with some
drawbacks at first in getting the cotton
TO points where 1t may be shipped, on &C.
count OF the lack of wagon transportation.
But IN the course of time facilities will be
presented. and then lively trade will
commence.
The question is repeatedly asked. How
are the people in the country to provide
themselves with greeubacks2 That they
can easily do when the Gov erument agents
appointed to purchase cotton establish
their offices i'll different portions of the
State. 1t cannot be expected that green .
backs will be abundant in the interior
until crops are raised: but there will,
doubtless, be a sufficient quantity TO in
augurate good trade within q short time.
1t is highly important in order to Sc
cure circulation of money through the
States Of the South, that close attention
be given to the cultivation of the soil,
Not few planters express apprehension
that they will be unable to secure labor
ers. We think no difficulty of that nature
will arise, provided the owners of plauta-
tions are early in making proper arrange
men,s with the persons whom they choose
TO employ. The coi"red people are de.
pended upon to do the work, and it is
with them that the planters must deal.
In this connection, it may not be amiss
to say to the colored people in the
country, who contemplate coming to the
clly to live, that the supply of rice which
the Government has been distributing to
the poor is nearly exhausted, and they
will be compelled to seek employment out
of the city, in order to keep off starvation.
In view of this, the more intelligent Of
the freedmen should lose no time in ex
planning to the others among them that
they will best serve their own interests by
remaining on the plantations and receiving
falr compensation for their services

hundred barrels of turpcntine and a

that the product here is found in barrels
