n Settle the mater. l, the davs 81 Ne
rnorracy large appropriations were PROM
mended for the purchase OF these claims
aud rights. but no final settlement was
made. Ii was reserved to the Admins
tra,on Of our lamented President. in the
midst of the turmoil Of war, to devise and
carry out plan for the REIMBURSEMENT of
those claims, and give our people the farms
which in good faith they have taken and
improved. His sympathies were with the
la5orins classes and tho pioneer settlers
on this coast, and this will account for his
earnest cooperation.
In this commission, composed as we
learn of two Americans and one English
man, we have confidence, and believe they
will discharge their duty with satisfaction,
and regard for the best interests Of both
our Government and the Companies. b.
r. Curtis, former Judge Of the Supreme
Court, has deservedly high and national
reputation. Regarding Mr.. johnson we
have less knowledge, but he has the conf
dence of the Administration. Mr.. Rose,
the English Commissioner, is we presume
worthy ofthe place. We congratulate our
readers that this "vcxed question" is
drawing to settlement, and believe that
this plan of joint commission to deter
mine the value Of these claims is the best
that can be devised both for the Govern
ment and the people.
THE ROUTE PRAcTIcABLE.-Mr. Thorn
as Berry, formerly of this county, arrived
yesterday afternoon direct from Walla
Wala, by way of the Natchez Pass. Mr..
Berry was only nine days in making the
entire trip, and he reports tho route much
better than he expected to find it. Snow
was fifteen fcet'deep on the summit, but
melting rapidly and would soon be gone.
He reports that there are many people on
the other side who are anxious to have the
Pass opened, and a large number Of fami-
lies will Immediately come over. Mr..
Berry thinks that thirty men can clear the
road in thirty days, the greater amount Of
the work being on this side Of Mud
Mountain. There arc no "land slides" 10
be removed as has been reported. fallen
timber being the greatest impeachment
The van Of the emigration had arrived at
Boise.

CoLFAx AND PARrY.-A few weeks
ago we alluded to the probability that
Hon, Schuyler Colfax, who was then upon
his way to this coast, would extend his
visit to this place, and suggested the pro-
priety of public reception. A telegram
in the Oregon Statesman dated San Fran
cisco. July Sth, intimates that he will be
hero liz about ten days from this time.
Cannot our people unite in extending a
cordial public welcome:

A PARALLEL.--It is said that after the
Goldfish Sickles Reception Fizzlc. no men,
Der of the committee could be found for
several days. Tho difference between the
S;cklcs and the Seymour farccs, however,
consists in the fact that Sick.es didn't

no free, brave people could accept; and
now as brave, free, people, the South
erners are concentrating their energies
for war to the uttermost It has been
said that the rebellion was shell; the
sellll is ours, and while we hold the worth
less fragments, its invuInerable core, the
great strong heart, defes and battles US.
. To one who truly conceives the mean
ing Of the change of policy that has been
naugurated by the Abandonment and de-
struction of Charleston, the shadow of
coming battles looks darker and more
vast than ever before. To one brain, we
know how fertilethe resources-to one
heart we know how firm and true-to one
intellect, we know how gifted with
martial attributes-to one man, we know
how capable to plan, to strike, to thwart,
to retrieve error or to take advantage of
it, the military fortunes ofthe South have
been eonfded FREQ to act at his own
yolition, untrammeled by administrative
interference, trusted, beloved and honor
ed by soldier and civilian, he has lost no
time in using his dictatorial power to re-
model the whole system Of this warfare.
The fall of Charleston is-a consequence
less of Sherman's prowesss than Of Lees

The Evacuation of Charleston.

We have at length what we conceive to
be authentic intelligence of the fall of
Charleston. 1t were worse than useless
to bemoan over this event, though it will
cause poignant sorrow in the hearts of
thousands. Not only those whose homes
were in the beautiful "city by the sea-.
will lament the giving up of the place to
the-onemy, who for four years have vain
ly thundered at its portals; but there are
myriads of sympathizing hearts through
out Christendom who must mourn the
military necessity that has yielded to oar
vandal foe the seat of SO much elegance.
refncm emf, hospitality and true chivalry
Fallen though Charleston be, her name
will live in history, and her heroic defence
be chronicled on the brightest pages of
that record which transmits to posterity
the matchless deeds of-this revolution.
The evacuation was successfully com
pleted on Thursday, the 10th of February,
between the hours of.twelve and one
O'clock. troops left on the cars ofthcl
North 7Es Failw lg5f7Ey "a
|.tion of Kingstree.
In addition to fall of the city, of itself
sorrowful in the extreme, we have to- re-.
cord one of the most horrible calamities
that ever befel any population. The De-
pot of the South Carolina Railroad COM
pany between Mary and Ann streets was
filed with stores of the Gommissary,
EQuartermasterand Ordnance Department..
Upon the departure of our forces such
supplies as could not be removed werc al
lowed to the indigefS cEsizens, and the
building was throTn open for them
WhiIc crowded with women and children
some fixed ammunition was exploded, de-
stroying the house end causing the death
of three hundred persons. The sight was
most pitiable one, and bcggars descrip-
.tion.
The flames Immediately spread with
the greatest rapiaity, and it is feared that
a large portion of the city must have been
destroyed. The fire was in progress when
the Federal troops landed and they immo-
diately rendered assistance and protection
to the fremen engaged in staying the con-
Efagration.
The explosion is supposed to have been
purely accidental some boys having been
seen engaged in amusing themselves with
shells. 1t was certainly not caused by

CHARACTER is PowaR.--Itis is often said
that knowledge is power, and this is true
Skill of faculty Of any kind carries With
it superiority. So to q certain extent,
wealth is power and rank is power aud
intellect is power, and genius has a'tran-
cendant gift Of mastery over men. But
higher, purer and better than all, mare
constant in its influence, more lasting in
its sway, is the power of character, that
power whieh ema.nates from apure and
lofty mind Take any community; who
is the man Of most influence? To whom
do all look up with reverencc?- Not the
asmartest" man, norsthe cleyerest politi-
clan, nor the most brilliant talker; but he
who, in a long course Of years, tried by
the extremes of prosperity and adycrsity
has approved himself to the judgment of
his neighbors, and of all who HAYES seen
his life, as worthy to bo called good and
wise. !.

HEADoUARTERs, March 9, 1865.
Hon.. G. Breckinridge, Secretary Of
War:
Gen. Bragg reports that he attacked
the enemy yesterday, four miles in front
of Kinston and drove him from his posi-
lion. He disputed the ground obstinately
and took "a new line three miles from his
first. We captured three pieces of artils
lery and fifteen hundred prisoners.
The number of the enemy's dead and
wounded left on the field is large, ours
comparatiyely yssmall.
The troops behaved most handsomely
Major Generals Hill and Hoke exhibi-
ted their accustomed zeal and gallantry.
R. E. LEE, General.
Kinston, neaf which place the fight oc-
Cured, is situated on the direct route
from Gofdsboro' to Newbefn, and is about
twenty miles eastof Goldsboro', and about
thirty from Newbern. It is supposed
that this force of the enemy was advan-
cling from Newbcrn against Goldsboro,'
for the purpose of cutting the railroad at
that point. 1t is not probable, after this
repulsc, that the enemy will attempt to
advance, andit is likely we shall next
hear Of them falling back upon Newborn
or changing their course to some other
point ofthe compass.
This movement of the encmy was ovi-
dcnt1y designed obe cooperative with
Sherman, and in this light and at this
juncture it may be of great value to us in
embarrassing the movements OF Sher-
man.

and you may die at last richer in exis-
.tence than multitudes whose time is all
their own. s.
