CoLonEo scHooLs.-The same paper thus
speaks of the efforts being made in Sumter to
educate the freedmen awe learn that number
of schools for the instruction Of the children Of
the freedmen have been established in our town,
and that they are daily attended by large num-
bers, who evidence commendable zeal in the mat
ter Of their education. We would not keep books
from this class of our population, for We believe
that the restoration Of even partial harmony to
our social organization can only be accomplished
when education shall have brought to the dull
and confused mind of the African sufficient en-
lightenment to enable him to discover his true
position and interests as connected with and
springing from the white race. And upon the
score Of humanity, now that the black race have
been wade free, we could not object to their edu-
cstior. It becomes a necessity. Without this
they must descend into the deepest moral degra-
tiol-yea, even into barbarian, as the everyday
indications around us clearly show"

1t was our good fortuDn during the war, to be

great pleasure in recording this appointment. He
is an acquisition to any institution of learning,
having fine scholarly mind stored with treasures
of knowledge new and old He was driven from
his church in Alexandria at the commencement OF
the war; and was called to the Brooke Church,
few miles outside of Richmond. Many of.our

the hands of Dr. WALKERS amiable family, for
which Christian charity they have the prayers

Governor ORn.-The Columbia Carolinian OF
Thursday says: "Our citizens will regret to learn
that his Excellency the Governor took his depar-
ture yesterday for his home in Anderson, where @
he purposes remaining for several weeks. The
onerous duties which he has been compelled to
perform here in restoring the State to her old po-
sition, have made it necessary that he should at
tend to the recuperation of his own he alth He
will, however, combine business with pleasure,
and visit the various public works in the upper
portion OF the State at Greenville and Cedar
Springs, for the purpose of making himself IA
miliar with their wants, and taking such action as
may be required in the premises. The energy
put forth by his Excellency since his accession to
the guberna atorial chair has redounded, in no
small degree, to the benefit of South Carolina"

l.svVrNpER's BUILDING" This noted framed
building, occupying portion OF the square ON
Broad and Tenth streets, which was used in Con-
federate days as the passport and other offices, is
now being moved to Navy Hill, where it will
hereafter be used as O school-house for freedmen.
The work Of transferring it from one site to an
other is very difficult one, though the parties
having it in hand entertain 40 doubt OF their
sbility to accomplish it. The tenement, which
runs the length Of the square from Tenth and
Broad to Capitol streets, will have to be sawed
into sections in order to be moved away. One
portion of it has already been cut off, put upon
rollers end carried away. This building, it is re-
membered, was built upon leased ground by the
Confederate Government, and at the evacuation
fell into the hands Of the Federals as confscatsd
property. Since it's possession by the United
States Government it has been used almost ex-
clusively by the officers Of the Freedmen's Bu-
reau.
The foregoing is from the Richmond Times of
the Esd. Many poor fellows, all over the South,
remember this building to their sorrow. In it
were the several "post" Offices Of the Confederate
Capital. 1t was one Of the largest circumlocu-
ton establishments in Richmond. How not to do
it seemed to be the great aim and study OF the
august officials and clerks who did ) their bust
ness in this large wooden building. Many poor
Confed here had occasion to verify the wise
mans saying: "Hope deferred maketh sad the
heart" Now the W1sDER building goes to do
duty as freedman's school on Navy Hill. Sic

LErr-HAND CHIRoaRApHY.-The Rich ond Ell
aminer, in alluding to the fact that the Northern
press is full of praises for the lefthanded soldiers
OF the Federal army, proposes that we OF the
South should not be found wanting in appreciation
of our own left-handed heroes, and suggests,
moreover, that we should encourage left-handed
photographic exhibitions and laud the performers.
We propose to domore than this-to remember not
only the one-hended, but the one-legged likewise;
in short, all of our unfortunate countrymen who
have been manned or Injured in any way, and, in
stead of encouraging idle exhibitions, to give
them permanent employment, whether as left
handed bookkeepers or one-lcgged employees Of
anv kind Our Northern friends have set US q
good example; they take good care their heroes
let us take equally good care Of ours.
