rious as false positions. Let us make
the severe mental effort of seyerine
ourselves from all feelings aud pur-
poses not purely Christian. Let no
fanaticisn of Independence disturb
the spirit of catholic concord and
union; nor any want Of Christian
courage diminish -our supreme regard
for the purity of truth. To plant
ourselves on tire true basisis oHr lofty
purpose. The Church is built upon
the foundation Of the apostles and
prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being
the head corner stone. To this we
will strive to adhere.
We cannot but perceive that the
age is political and secular in its ten
dencies- Its ruling powers are those
of combination. This secures do
minions but is dangerous to truth.
We must think, too, that a territory
so immense, with population SO
heterogeneous and discordant as that
comprehended between the Atlantic
and Pacific, the Lakes and the Rio
Grande, is too vast for any one church.
Our Southern country is limited,
homogeneous, and not given to specu-
latlons. Does it not appear, then,
that here is our surest foundation for
peace. and truth?
I declare to you, brethren, my
strong desire is that, under the mercy
and guiding Providence of God, the
Southern Church may be enabled to
maintain her present independent and
catholic position. This I viii seek,
and to this give my best Efforts. But,
should this be otherwise ordered BY
counsels stronger than our 'own, let
the motto of the Diocese of South
Carolina, however associated, ever be:
A CHURCH DIVINE, NOT HUMAN: A
GOSPEL PURE AND PERFECT.
In conclusion, permit me, be-
loved brethren, to assure you of my
warm Christian affection and most
heartfelt sympathies with you in all
the trials and sufferings you are now
called to undergo. May God over
rule all painful events to our spiritual
benefit and the glory of His great
name, through Jesus Christ our Lord!
Very truly, your brother in Christ,

Bishop of the Diocese of S. G.

INTERNAL REVENUE DEc1s1oN.-On
Tuesday, the Commissioner of Inter-
nal Revenue made the following de-
cision:
A dealer is a person who sells or
offers to sell any goods, wares or mer-
chandize, of foreign or domestic pro-
duction. The fact that he has no
warehouse, store OF other fixed place
at which his sales are made, in no
manner releases him from his liability
to license tax as dealer. The dealer
selling on commission for his cor
signors is factor, general bailee,
charged with the legal custody of the
goods, able to sue and liable to be
sued, responsible for the fulflment of
the contract, and is the recipient OF
the price. Therefore, every person
receiving consi gnments of merchan-
dize, in ships, boats or cars, and eff
fecting sales and delivering the same
directly from such vessels OF cars, is
liable for license as dealer, which
license should cover all his sales.

IMPORTANT ORDER FROM THE STATE
DEPARTA1ENT.-Secretary Seward is
engaged in making an analysis of the
claims due to the citizens of the
United States against foreign Govern
ments, and has published formal
notice inviting parties having claims
not founded on contract, which may
have originated since February s,
1865, to forward without delay to the
State Department statements of the
same, under oath, accompanied by
proper proof,
Under this comprehensive notice,
merchants and ship owners who have
suffered from the depredations COM
mitted by the Alabama, Sumter, She
nandoah and other British-rebel pi-
rates, can make out and submit their
claims to the State Department, and
our Government will ask compensa-
ton for the same from the British
Government. Damages committed on
our frontier by rebel raids from Ca
NADIA also come under this head, and
sufferers will have an opportunity of
presenting their claims for indemnity.
The Secretary of State is devoting
considerable attention to this matter,
and will pursue it vigorously to the
settlement.

Execution Of pSvo col,r12 s1.,

Execution of ysve colerSd Mem.
The DarhsgtoG Soa1aerner has been
permitted to look over the report of
he-ofdeer charged with the duty Of
the execution of the two Jeolored men
Billy. Wilson and William Arnel, at
Georgetown, s. C.-for the murder of
J. w, Skinner, in May last. From
this report, we learn that the e1ecu,
ton took place On Saturday last. Be-
fore :AsS sAmony took place, aud
after alth3 arrangements for it were
complete, the prisoners were notified
that they could make such remarks as
they chose. Each of them professed
their innocence and attempted expla-
nation of the murder; after which an
impressive prayer was offered in their
behalf, when they Immediately suf-
fered the penalty due their atrocious
midnight crime. All the proceedings
we're conducted with precision and
the proper decorum. The prisoners
were allowed the benefit of clergy and
every privilege consistent with duty
afforded them. We trust that this
prompt and righteous punishment
viii be wholesome warning to the
evil doers among the class from which
these culprits were taken.

The British and British North Ame-

reveal the fact that England is, to

The London and Liverpool papers
affect to despise the organization;
but the editors take pains to publish
statistics to prove that England pos
sesses ample strength to put it down,
if the Fenians should invade Ireland.

CONTRACTS BY FREEDasEN-THET TE-
NEMENT SYSTEM RECOMMENDED The
following timely circular has been
issued:
BUREAU OF REFUGEES, FREEDMEN, &C.,
HEADoR Rs, ASST Con-. STATE VIRGINIA,
RICHMOND, Va, Sept. %, 1865.
Reports having been received at
these headq uarters, that the freed
men in some parts of the State refuse
to enter into just and reasonable con-
tracts for labor, on account of the
belief that the United States Govern
ment will distribute lands among
them, superintendents and agents Of
this Bureau will take tile earliest op-
portunity to explain to the freedmen
that no lands will be given them by
the Government; that the Govern
ment has but very small quantity of
land in the State, only enough to
provide homes for II few families, and
that this can only be secured by pur-
chase or lease. They will also explain
to them the advantages of at once
entering into contracts for labor for
the coming year, and that the sys-
tenn Of contracts is in no way connect
ed with slavery, but is the system
adopted by free laborers everywhere.
It is believed that the renting of
small tracts of land by the farmer to
his laborers would be mutually bene-
fetal. The laborer's interest in his
crops and improvements would attach
him to the plantation, co1nteract any
temptation to break his contract, and,
by furnishing employment for the
more dependent members of his
family, increase their contentment
and their comforts.
The plan for renting lands on
shares to the freedmen has been sue
cessfully tried in some parts of the
State. and is believed to be worthy of
a more extended trial Superintend-
ents will counsel with and assist both
parties i'll making either OF the above
arrangements. 0. BROWN,
