MEETING IN NEWBERRY.

were passed unanimously at meeting of
the citizens of Newberry District, on the
Sd inst:
We are convinced that the object which
has brought us together to-day is one of
vital consequence to all and we do not
believe it possible that any one can fail to
perceive how deeply his own welfare, and
that of all most dear to him, is involved
in the action which we may take. The
object of this meeting is to do whatlies in
our power to heal the wounds which q
long and disastrous war has inflicted on
the country, and to restore to it law and
order, and all the securities and benefits
which a recognized and stable govern
ment affords. The surrender of Lee and
Johnston has been followed by. the capt.
ulation of all the rest Of the organized
forces called into the field by the late
Confederate Government. The armies
recently arrayed against the Government
of the United States have dispersed, the
soldiers have returned to their homes and
are there quietly waiting for an opportu-
nifty to resume their former peaceful pur-
SUITS The apprehension entertained by
some that after all organized resistance
had ceased, bands of desperate men would
continue the hopeless contest, and pro
long the dreadful scenes of blood and spf-
fering, has happily not been realized
Peace reigns throughout the whole land,
and nowhere'is there manifested any dis
position to disturb it.
But, though peace has returned, the,
evil effects of the war still continue. In
some portions of the late Confederacy,
these evil consequences are beginning to
be abated; civil government has resumed
its sway, business is slowly reTiving, ,,and.
all the political and social relations. dis
turbed by the war are undergoing read
iustment. But in our State civil govern
ment is stiltssuspended, and incorvenient
and arbitrary substitute of military rule
has taken its place; all business:is at a
stand still, in the absence of circulating
medium in sufficient quantity for the
wants of the people; much difficulty and
embarrassment has been produced by the
sudden sundering of the ties which have.
heretofore existed between ourselves and
the laboring population, and the expedi-
ents which have been adopted to remedy
those, evils will, ittfs to be feared, but i'm
perfectly accomplish this end and mean
while, the minds ofanen are in q state Of
painful suspense and anxiety. Whereas,
under these circumstances, we have met to
consider what course we shall adopt to

THE NEWS.
TIE NEWS EMBARGO


Since the newsp apers, in compliance with the
request Of the military authorities have suspended
the publication of war news, the people have be-
come more eager than ever for information from
the localities OF active operations All sorts of ru-
nors, favorable aud otherwise, put into crcula-
ton, amPlided eontrAdicted, and reasserted, until
perfect "muddle" prevails, and nobody knows
whether events progressing satisfactorily or ad
yersely. The usual sources of information--the
new spapers-are looked TO ia vain, and the existing
uncer tanty must therefore continue until the mill
tary importance OF reticence has passed by, or
been qualified by Developments
When that time arrives the press will, We pre-.
sumo, be promptly notified, in order that it may
resume its vocation Of furnishing the public with
reliable information from the seats of war" In
the meantime, if anything of interest transpires,
which eau be published We are confident that the
intelligent Secretary of War will cause the news
10 be promptly eommnnie ated to the press.
