Our esteemed cotemporary, the Charleston South
Caroliaaa, is guilty of oarelessness in the use of
items from our columns, and we beg to call its at
tention.to the fact A.week or two ago, the''An-
dersonyille Intelligencer'' was credited with an
article, and one day last week the Anderson Adj
vertiser" received similar distinction. Our friends
atAndersonyille have not yet essayed the pubca-
ton Of paper, and when they do, it will doubt
lesssse christened other than the "Inteligencer,
to prevent mistakes. The aAdvertiser" has never
bsen published at this place, although we have
several excellent exchanges bearing this title and
issued IN other quarters. But the truth is' the
articles in question were penned by the editor of
the anderson Iiatsllgeacer, and he begs leave re-
spectfuly to make himself and paper known to the
adnirable journal before named.

RErIEYED.

Adetachment Of the Fifth United States Cavalry,
conmandedby by q Sergeant, and on duty here for
sonistims past, left ON Saturday morning. This
detachment, 50 far as we know, has behaved in an
orderly and decorous manner during their stay in
our midst. The only command now here is the
small squad of the 25th Ohio, and judging from
the removal Of troops from other points in the in
terror, we presume that these will notremain very
long with rs.
Itbecomes the duty of ouafcitizens, by exem-
piary conduct and sober, thoughtful action to re-
fute the groundless charges against this District
which have been so energetically insisted upon.
We have neyeryet believed that there was dis
loyalty to any extent amongst the people of An
derson District, and are firmly convinced that its
inhabitants ere as capable of maintaining justice
andthe supremacy of law and order as those of
any. other section of tho country. But having been
50 unfortunate as to attract the suspicion of mill
tary authorities and because Of -untoward circum-
stances to beget distrust and doubt upon these
questions, 1t is imperatively our duty, we repeat
to.give the highest and strongest evidence of at
tachmentto peace, namely, the absence of either
look OF word which might indicate a contrary
feeling. Let each one resolve to fulfil his or her
part Of this duty.

THE ARRESTS m EDGEE1ELp.

l.. In regard to the recent mysterious arrests OF
citizens in Edgefeld the .Aduertisero of last week
contains the following paragraph. Many of our
readers will remember the horrd pictures drawn
by Parson WEEMs of society in Edgefeld. 1t was
during brief sojourn among that hospitable peo-
pie, some ten years ago. that our youthful imaglna-
ton was reyalcd with the frightful accounts OF
Beck Cotton and her tragic fate and if the actual
acquaintance and friendship of such men as Gems
GARY and BUTLER, not to mention our brother OF
the Advertser, had not been secured by US, per-
haus these horrible stories might have fastened
our departure from such dangerous community.
But as it occurred, we left with the utmost regret
at severing the kindliest relations with people OF
unexampled honor purest patriotism and most
sterling virtue; and il will require more than q
..cloud of Witnesses to make us believe that they
have degenerated in so short time from that
standard. Here are the extracts:
We are rejoiced to be able to state that Gen. NJ.
W. Gary has been released on parole-indehnite
parole. lie arrived among us on Monday, the 9th
--ssclothed and in his right mind" Upon his ar
rival in Charleston, he was committed to Jail, and
spent q day and two nights in CELL Gen. Nj. G.
Butler, who has been in Columbia and Charleston
for the last two weeks, using every effort in his
power to obtain the release or parole Of our unfor
tunate fellow citizens at length succeeded in pro-
curing from Gen. Sickles order allowing Gen.
Gary the liberty of the city; and soon after, an
other, releasing him upon indefinite parole. Gen.
Sickles issued these orders after examining the
afidavits from citizens of Edgefeld-eye-witnesse
Of the affray here on saleday in March-attesting
that Gen. Gary had no part or parcel, directly or
indirectly, in the killing of the Federal soldier
The South Caroliaiaa spoke thus while General
Gary was under arrest in Charleston:
General Gary has been arrested, we are told,
because he lives in malaria precinct of country,
about which old Parson Weems made some shock
ing stories hundred years ago. which are too vel.
remembered by our conquerors."
So all these arrests and all this fearful hurly-
burly are to be attributed to old Weems, and his
tales about Beck Cotton and other evil doors, who
aourished in Edge6eld century back. Let us all
thank the Carohnan for the hint, and lay our pre-
sent griefs at the door of old Weems. Or upon his
coffin rather; and certainly his bones ought to
shake and tremble with remorse. This idea that
old Weem's history is doing it, will make US think
better of ourselves for really we have heard SO
much lately of our bloody wildness and savage
atrocity, that we were beginning to feel painfully
guilty consciousness of not having progressed one
step forward in virtue and civilization since the
ruthless days when Beck Cotton murdered her
husband, and was in turn murdered by her brother.

STATE NEWS.

The Camden Journal contains the proceedings of
public meeting of the citizens CT that District,
in regard to the refusal by Judge ALDRIcH to hold
Court because of military interference in the exc
cution of q sentence pronounced by him at the
January term ia Charleston. This meeting COM
prsed the members of the bar, officers of The Court,
and citizens generally, and was presided over by
Col William NJ. Shannon The resolutions, dis
approving the Judges course, were introduced by
Gen. Joseph B. Kershaw, so we'll known rs an ac-
complished soldier and gentleman. The meeting
was entirely respectful to the Judge, as might be
expected It was declared by resolution 'that the
refusal of the Judge to exercise the jurisdiction
permitted them is not warranted by the crcum-
stances, would be subversive of order, encourage
lawessness and crime, disappent the just expecta-
tou of the people, shut the doors justice against
cur own citizens, and if persisted in generally will
tend to eu extension Of the jurisdiction of military
courts to embrace all classes of people and all sub
jects of litigation" The action of Judge Aldrich,
be it remembered, is not endorsed by similar ac-
ton of another Judge in the State and we feel as
sured that his course has received few commenda-
tons anywhere
The Abbevillc Press of last Friday announces
the return of Hon. Armstcad Burt, after three
months absence, in the discharge of arduous pro-
fcssiona duties before the Military Commission in
Charleston, as counsel for our fellow citizens the
Messrs Keys and Byrum.
There we're three indictments for murder before
the Court at Spartanburg, as we learn from the
Express, and in each case the jury returned YER
dict of acquittal.
The Greenville lountaineer states that Rev. A.
W. Cummings, for sometime past an associate edi-
dor of the Nashville IN. c.. News, has retired from
that position, and accepted the appointment of
President of the Spartanburg Female College The
reverend gentleman has doubtless chosen the
wisest course, in leaving the press fraternity to
educate the daughters of our land.
The Advertiser chronicles the death of Edgefelds s

this lady was ten years old when the Declaration
of American Independence was proclaimed; was

PASSAGE OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS BILL.

The House of Representatives, as intimated in
our last issue, passed the Civil Rights bill over the
| Presidents veto, and by an overwhelming vote.
Yeas, 122-nays, Al. Upon the announcement of
the vote there was great excitement, and the
cheering lasted several minutes. The galleries
were crowded, and the floor of the House was filled
with privileged persons. The number of Senators
attracted thither was so large to have left that
BODY almost without quorum. Amid the confu-
sion which ensued, the House adjourned. Such
is the brief and significant account given of the
scene, and it was fitting display Of triumph over
fallen people! Likewise it was appropriate
conduct to accompany the passage of law SO

GEN. JOSEPH E. JOHNSTON.

A writer in the Columbia Phoeni1, over the sig
nature of ssAbbevilIe," suggests the name of this
distinguished gentleman for the Presidency of the
Greenyiile and Columbia Railroad, in view of the
approaching convention of its stockholders. The
nomination is ON excellent one, but unfortunately
il comes too late to secure the services of General
JOHNSTON judging from the annexed paragraph,
which we clip from the Atlanta IntelHgencsr of last
Thursday:
Gen. Joseph 3. Johnston in consentiug to be-
come candidate for the position of President Of
the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, says: ''The posi-
ton to me would be the most agreeable ono could
think of. No position would suit me better than
the Presidency Of respectable railroad company,
and should prefer the Mobile and Ohio railroad
to any other. The majority of the troops COM
manded by me during the war were from the Gulf
States; and my best and warmest friends reside
there. have o strong desire to pass my remain
ing days in the gulf States in the midst of those
who have shown themselves 10 be my best and
most steadfast friends"
The garrison at Yorkville has been removed and
ordered to rendezvous at Charleston, says the En-
quirsr. This removal of troops from the interior,
though not expressly SO stated, is presumed to be
in consequence of the Presidents proclamation.
