Circular Letter. -.-.~ .
The Acting Assistant Commissioner congratu-
lates the planters in his District that so many
have been able TO secure laborcrS for the-couing
wear and hopes, by the blessing of Providence,
they may have full granariea and an increase OF
wealth from the coming crop. r..
Gentlemen, With desire 60 restore confidence
in nv District, issue this communication. 1t Is
ahsolutely.necessary that all con'rActs be made
in duplicate, and unless approved oy an officer or
agent of this Bureau, will be considered null and
void In the absence of the civil courts, you
may depend on the protection Of the military.
No partiality will be shown to freed persons, or
the contrary. Our chief aim will be justice. Let
us adopt the immortal creed, with malice to-
wards none and charity for all, and strive earn
estly to establish peace and good will, and re-
cognizing the rights of all men, do what we can
to inaugurate for our country a tairer future OF
happiness and prosperity.
1t is hereby announced that all freedmen found
idle or vagrant on the streets of this city, in the
country-in fact, anywhere within the limits of
the District of Western South CarOliua-after
the first of March next, will subject themselves
to arrest, and be compelled TO work on Govern
ment plantations for the support of the aged and
infrm freed persons in my charge. -. = -.
And now cheerfuliy adda word of encourage
ment to those who have so willingly gone to work.
This gives me great satisfaction. You have many
enen,ies-many detractors. Heed them nor, but

"LEr NE 1N."-Passing by small business
house the other day, which by the way though
small in its dimensions, does large. business
and the stock or share holders Of which are many
in number, and who too we would judge are the
principal patrons, we noticed gentleman on the
outside knocking his heels together, and Justify
demanding entrance, which apparently was not
effected The cry of "let me in" must have been
answered by "stop dat 'nockin', you can't come
in" "too many of de stockholders in here now :"
at which, curses loud and deep were uttered by
the outside partner who was determined not to
be silent one "He didn't like dis bisness and
would devise distillution of de i'lanled partner

fair but was eatin' up de principal of his interest
in dc proceedings, aud talkin' away de valuable
time which ought to be promoted to the vantage

CoRDovA MEXICO, Jan. Is, 1866.

Judge Perkins, Governor Harris, G lionel
(Pawnce) White and his family, the Episcopal
Minister, Mr. Holman and his family, myself and
others, are now living in our new town-Car-
lotta. The Americans that were in Monterey
and San Louis Potosi are pow on their way thith-
er, as we learn from Capt NJ, F. Maury. Several
Loui<ianians have lately arrived here, in search
of new homes for themselves and families. They
have thought best to purchase improved lands
from private individuals, aud have done so, pay
ing down s5,0UO in cash, and getting as much
deferred payments. They have returned to the
United States for their families
If the immigration from the States shall be
as great as anticipate. property of every kind
will greatly increase in value, and therefore
think that those who have made up their minds
to come to Mexico, should do so at once. The
inducements to mechanics to come here are
very great. While the native laborer can oe
hired at fifty cents day, out of which ne hndS
himself, mechanics earn excellent wages: For
instance, the railroad company offers to contract
for brick at S25 thousand, and line at $l.25
per hundred, and the country abounds in timber
and in limestone OF an excellent quality a wheel
wright or tanner would make fortune very
soon.

THE True PoL1cy-Let the President issue
his proclamation announcing that the late re-
volted States are restored, and demand equal
representation under the Constitution. If a
majority Of Congress refuse the representation
required the President should treat them as
revolptoniSts laboring to perpetuate disunion.
If the Senators who advocated the right of Sc
cession in the United States Senate in 1861
even traitors, as declared by Andrew johnson
at the time, and deserving of punishment
then the present Senators and members that,
instead of restoring, would suhjugate them to
servitude and perpetual separation, are gull
ty Of the same crime-treason-and should
be treated accordingly. A little jackson firm
ness on the part of the President will set all
right. Let the Union be restored in fact, and
we cease our denunciations and prescriptions Of
the South, our violent expressions of hatred
and animosity, and remember that the people
oftheSouth, being American citizens, nave both
rights and senSibilities, an6 not disdain to re-
spect them, and they will be acheerful people,
and we will have:a Union indeed.

IHE SOUTH CAROLlNA NA!L hOAD.-f13FlnS
had frequent occasion Of late to pass over this
road, we have been most favorably impressed
with the enterprise that has been displayed in its
entire management, and which has thus early
placed the whole line in excellent running order.
The travelling community cannot but feel great
full for the accommodations that are being extend
ed to them in the way of new coaches, as fast as
they can be completed. In this connection we
deem it but a simple actOf justice TO award the
need of praise which is due to the gentlenanly
corps of Conductors now engaged on the road
Messrs. w. D. Kennedy, J. Z. Thames and s. H.
L. Price The travelling public will reco .nize in
them persons with whom they were familiar in
years past. They are the same obiging and
courteous gentlemen now as thcn-in facr, they
arc ever solicitous for the comfort Of their pas
sengers, and at any time, should anything be
amiss, it may reasonably be that the fault does
not lie at their door, and is leyond their ilnme-
diate means Of correction. They take particular
PAL IS to keep their cars cleaniy, and most earn
estly urge the cooperation of the passengers in
this most important matter. The excellent order
maintained on the cars, and the unceaSiug efforts
on the part of the Conductors to make all things
agreeable, is a constant theme Of pr,s on the
part of those who frequent the road. In fact,
we have frequently heard persons from distance,
who are constantly travelling, assert that they
have never met with more willing disposition
on the part of Rail Road Conductors to make
passengers comfortable than they have Witnessed
on the South Carolina Rail Road. We think the
Go pany are fortunate in retaining the services
of these gentlemen in their important positions
We had almost forgotten the corps of young
gentlemen who are acting as Baggage Masters or
Assistant Conductors-Mcssrs. w. A. Bradley
Edw NJ Cudworth and W. Barlow. 1t would
have been an act of gross injustice to close this
paragraph without awarding to them the praise
which their we-known courtesy and obliging
disposition has eminently entitled them TO.
In conclusion we will state that the Company
have in their employ some of the most competent
Engineers known to the Bail Road service. We
regret that we are not in possession of their
names to make this record complete. However,
we will reiterate what we have often heard ex-
pressed, ''that more careful and pune ual' Engin
eers are not to be foand on any rail road in the
country"-the truthfuness of which assertion We
believe the records of the road will fully sustain

HIGHLY IMPORTANT.
The FreeSnan's Bureau Bill Vetoed.

:. WASHINGTON, Feb! uary ~, 1866.
: The President sent to the Senate his veto of
the amendatory Frecdmen's Bureau Bill. The
President takes the ground that it is unconsttu-
tional, and that the appointment of agents in
exery country where freedmen and refugees ex-
ist would impose too much patronage in the
hands Of the Executive, and would enable him to
IL it for the attainment of political ends if he
was so disposed. He expresses the earnest hope
that question so important to tie country will
not become law unless upon the deliberate con-
sidcration of the people, and that it should re-
ceive the sanction of an enlightened publ: judg-
m. mt.
The House, by a large majority, has passed
resolutions declaring that the rebellion has de-
pr7ed the people of the South of all civil govern
ment, and it becomes the duty of ofCongress to en-
able them to organize State Governments. The
President is fully justified in maintaining the
suspension Of the Habsas Corpus in the Southern
States, and in keeping troops therein for the pro-
lection Of Union citizens and freedmen.
