The War. tsA. m ut .....

week ago there were ugly rumors of armis.

yielded to Prussian obstinacy, and the fun

long war or not. We are not prophet.
We gave up that trade during our little
war. We gave it up because we determin.
ed from experience that very little reputa
ton and less money could be made at it.
The war is likely to 60 on as, long as they
continue to kill each, other, as they are now
doing; but beyond that our opinion is not
made up .-.s..
Negro Emigration. ..-.
'1o'We have not made any personal inquiries
upon the success of the negro emigration
scheme in Columbia, but We hear that the
movement is likely to result in the emigra-

We hear; and some are going to Florida.
1t is rumorsd that General Ely (some time
ago oftthe Freedmen's Bureau in this city,
is engaging hands to till lands for him in
Florida. That is q better latitude for them
than this. We would encourage their going.
The Philadelphia Democratic Conven-
Nearly all the Districts We believe have
elected delegates TO- the State Convention
on the LIST Of August As far as We are ad,
vised, it is the purpose of the people of
South Carolina to be represented in the
Convention at Philadelphia. They will
take such steps as may be necessary to that
end, and no more. "a Ds .r':. .. -'.i ..
~ One of our members of Congress has ex'
pressed himself very decidedly in favor of
our being represented in the Convention.
He feels that our only safety lies in defeat
ing the Radicals in the Fall elections; and
regards the Convention as an important
point towards that end.
For ourself, we don't know any thing
about it-don't expect to. We gave up
the trade Of saving the country several years
before the war, and do not regard the pres

This gentleman, who writes the funny
letters that are going the rounds of the
press, is at presen. editor of the La Crosse
Democrat La Crosse is in Wisconsin up
on the Mississippi river.
He is one of the boldest friends of the
South that we had North during the war.
His politics and out.spoken friendship for
the Confederate cause, gave him at one time
lodgings in Yankee prison.
He now sports, in his Democrat, the
bold motto Equality of all the States in
the Union, or another war"
We like that 1t smacks of manhood.
It may be wrong, and inexpedient, and all
that, but it is refreshing. -,

Bill himself never ventilated better irony,
