An Honorary member.

Honorary and honorable Major JAMEs H.
MunRELL, gentleman Of finished education and
tho highest social position, for twenty or thirty
years past connected with the financial and eiito-
rials department. Of the famous and venerable
Charleston Courier, now sets type daily in the
Adrertiser Office. The Major Informed us one
day not long since, that, as refugeeing it in so
quiet place as Edgef-ld was slow and irksome
business, he was going to turn in and learn some
thing nbout practical printing. And 50 he has; i;
and he is already expert. When We see the Major
at his stand, employing his days of exile SO wise
ly, we arc smitten with fearful shame ut our own
want of industry. 1t puts us in mind Of Cato
learning Greek at the age Of eighty. Not insnuu-
ting however that Majon NJ. Los travelled half 50
far as Cato on the journey Of life. Well, wsall

New Male School,

We are most happy to announce to our imme
diatc community and tho District at large, thst
two accomplished geutlemcn will soon open q
Male S",oal in Edgefold. These two seatielnen
are known, admired and beloved throughout said
community and District. Thoir own educational
advantages have been of the best /; and these ad-
vnutages hare been enhanced by years Of careful
study and elegant reading. In the late war, they
earned brilliant fame, aud nohly made sacrifices
which cs,itle them to the undyipg gratitude of
their fellow citizens. Any youth committed to
their charge will bc thoroughly prepared to enter
the best Colego or University in the land; or
6.tod, so far rs education goes, to occupy any so
oinl, comnercinl, or political position known in
our country.
Our people cannot TOD highly prize the oppor-
tunty about to be affor led them for the education
Of their sons. Nor can they possibly overrate the
yaluo and necessity Of such education. The great
; struggle has eoded, andmoro than ever, during
+; the next twenty years, will we need the human
hing influences of scholarship and tnste; more
! Than evor will it be requisite that wisdom and
Learning should guide our councils. All these
aids will be indispensable to correct the brutai-
zing results of war, to settle the thousand nice
questions of policy which must surely arise, and,
perhaps, to save the country from uobocracy. an
arcby kifd dsspotism. We, of,this generation,
will scarcely be able 10 effect sll this in brief
day. We must therefore supply our children with
the implements necessary to such task. Let
them be thoroughly educated. Let them forget
Hardee's tactics In Horace as soon as possible.
The two honored ei,lers and soldiers who will
preside over this new school have our heartiest
wishes for thsir complete succsss.

Secretary Stanton Resigned,

Tie Tribune's Washington special says, it is
reported on good authority that Secretary STAN
ton has resigned. This is not positively con-
Grmed, but it is known he has determined to
leave the Capital. There is report that this de-
sire has been assisted by violent collision be-
tween the President and the Secretary. Both
being strong willed, tho former indnlged in his
brisk manner, took occason to inform the latter
that he was President of the United States but
it is said there is not much in this, for the prcsi
dent told Major General yesterday that tho
separation was only induced by the prostration of
Stanton. Owing to bis exhausting labOrs, STAN
ton has been offered By the President the appoint
ment Of Minister to Berlin. But this place is
moi doemcd sufficiently important.

Wise Freedmen. :.

We deem it worthy Of record that the negroes
of Ex-Gov. PIcEgNs have, Of their own accord,
and unknown to any white persons, hid meet
ing smong themselves, and with greatharmOny and
unanimity, devised and adopted measures fer the
regulation and police of the eaid gentleman's
plantation. Their meeting was earnest and WELL
meant. Their measures are admirable and eff
cicnt. A guard or patrol of ten men keep Wig
ilaptcye upon the iloings and duties of their CO.
iaborers visiting each delinquent with tho penal
ty or punishment adopted and agreed to by the
meeting. All these negroes have bound them
selves to faithfully abide by the measures of the
said meeting, and the good result is already
aburdantiy seen and !elt. We have it from the
lips Of the Ex-Gov. himself that, owing to the
wise steps taken by these negroes, his plantation
was never in better condition, nor Industry, good
order and satisfaction more prevalent thcreupon.
We commend this good example to the notice of
other intelligent and well-meaning freedmen.

The MEXICAN MOVEMENT IN NEW YoRK.-
The excitement in reference to the emigration
to Sonora, Mexico. has fallen off very mate
rally within a few day past, in New York,
owing principally to the fact that the thou
sands of persons who came forward to enroll
their names, found that there was no money
to be paid in hand, as WAS generally expec-
ted, and in fact it is believed that the leaders
have no considerable amount Of funds with
which to carry out the project, hut are en-
deavoring to ELECT loan Of Several millions
of dollars for that purpose. lt'is also under.
stood.that The leaders Of the movement are
unable to ascertain what course the United
States authorities would pursue in case the
expedition should attempt to leave the coun
try. Gen. Dix has been approached upon
the subject by several gentlemen, but was

The COMING Cnop.-Mr. Kelly, an agent
Of the Post Office Department, has lately
travelled through various sections of Miss,
Alabama and Georgia, and mnkca the follow.
ing report Of what he saw. He says: In AL
ALBANIA he saw immense fields ofgrowing corn,
with here and there wheat field almost
rendy for tho sickle. The corn crop promises
on abundant yield. In Georgia Il great deal
of corn has also heen planted, though the
plant, does not look SO wcll as in Alabama.
He thinks there will be enough made in both
States to supply the people with bread, il The
negro laborers are to Lc retained. On this
score no difficulty was apprchcnded. The
great staple, cotton, is almos: a thing Of The
past. But little has Leen planted; every
planter turning his attention to grain almost
exclusively.

to be sent in the same amiable and satisfactory

of the wheat crop are very variable from different
sections of our District, but, If We arenot mista-

Mn. DAVIS MANacLED.-The Philadelphia
Telegraph publishes the annexed dispatches
in regard to the manacling Of Mr.. Davis.
The following one is dated Baltimore, May
25th:
a gentleman who lives at Old Point, and
who left there May 24, informs lne that jeff
Davis is absolutely now in irons. Msnacles
are attached to both ankles, being united by
strong iron chain some three or four feet
long; joined TO this, midway, is also another
Chain.
Tie process Or operation of putting irons
on the prisoner, was highly exciting, as rela
ted by these who performed the task. Two
guards we'll armed, were in his cell. 1t is
their duty, and those relieving them, to guard
him thus constantly day and night.
At a given hour the blacksmith and his
assistant, obedient to orders, enter the apart.
ment. They had with them the mancles. 1t
was announced to the ex-President OF the
caved-in Southern Coafederacy that they had
come to put irons upon him. lie looked al
these sons Of Vulcan with all the sternness Of
his nature, and once proud bearing and u1
tlnchiug eye, telling them it could not be
that they were going to treat fallen 1oe
thus that he would not submit to it, &c. lie
asked to see the com mander of the fort as
serting that there must be some mistake in
the matter. lie wanted to know whore the
orders came from.
The commandant could not be seen, but
upon being told the orders were direct from
Washingto and must be executed, he still
resisted, threatening vengeance upon the men
if they attempted to perform their work.
Rather than sabliit to this he exclaimed,
"Take. my lile" "Order the guards TO
shoot me p &c
Additional guards were called, and the
work was undertaken.
Mr.. Davis struggled most obstiuately, un-
I'll finally it became necessary to lay him
upon his back on the floor of the cell, and
hold him there while the nanaces were being
riveted to his ankles. After concluding
the work, owing to great exertions in resis-
tance, he was almost exhausted Never be-
fore was so proud spirit, so strong q will,
so completely subdued.
Another dispatch dated Baltimore May 2G,
reads thus:
Whilst our soldiers were. attempting to,
manacle him he struck one Of the men, and
cudeavered to get bayonet from the guard,
as is supposed, with suicidal purpose. lie
was finally thrown down on the bed in his
cell, and the irons closely riveted to both
ankles.
