EDTTORIAL INKIINGS,

We learn from the Charleston pa
pers, that the Savannah Railroad was sold
in that city on Wednesday of last week.
The purchasers were Messrs. J. 81. Taylor,
and others, for the sum Of $4,000, subject
to existing liens, including the State lien of
about s75O,0OO.
- John. H Leavitt, of Elmira, New
York, advertises that be has complete re.
cord, of the Confederate prisoners of war,
who died at that post. He proposes to fur
nish names of person, rank, regiment, COM
pany and State also, date of capture, when
and where captured, when died, cause Of
death, number of grave and effects. As
many of readers have friends and relatives
who died at Elmira, We suggest the propri.
city of communicating with Mr.. Leavitt.
-On the 10th instant bill was intro
duced into the House of the Tennessee Leg
islature, to repeal the present franchise law
and give suffrage to the negroes, it being
proposition for universal suffrage and am
nesty. 1t was laid on the table, on the
first reading, by a vote of thirty-nine to
twenty nine, the East Tennessee members,
radicals and conservatives, voting solid to
lay on the table, and the conservatives from
Middle and West Tennessee against it.
Another bill was introduced, striking out
the word "white" in the present franchise
law.
- The Legislature of North Carolina
met on Tuesday of last week, and the Message
of Gov. Worth was sent in and read. The
Governor takes strong ground against the
constitutional amendment. After alluding
to the anomalous and distressing political
situation of the Southern States, he says:
How long this unnatural condition of our
relations is to continue, it seems, we shall
be allowed to have no share in determining.
No time has been set, and no conditions
proposed on which it may be terminated.
In the meantime, trust, we shall meet
events as they arise with a reasonable and
manly fortitude, ready at all times to fulfill
our duties as patriotic citizens, but under
no circumstances willingt sacrifice the hon.
or and rights of the State, as a member OF
the Union, not in the sense of the advocates
of secession, but as taught by lredell and
Marshall, and Story Kent aud Webster,
and in which moderate men everywhere,
North and South, before the war, were sup
posed to concur. Anxious as was to avert
the late war, and have at all times been to
compose our troubles on the basis of the
Union, as our fathers framed 1t, | can per-
ceiyc in this proposed amendment nothing
calculated to perpetuate the Union but Its
tendency seems to me better suited to per,
petuate sectional alienation and estrangc.
ment, and I have therefore no hesitation
in recommending that it be not ratified"

SToLEN-Rev. DR.. Adger, of South Car
olina, in letter to DR. .Baokus, Of Balti-
more, lately published, makes the following
statement, and voucbes for the fact
"When General Sherman's army passed
through Wiunsboro, S. c., Captain Full.
ler and six others of that army robbed one
of the ruling elders of the Zion Presbyte-
rian Church there of an elegant silver com.
muuion set the gift of dying female men,
Der of the same, costing $3.50 in New York,
and having the Church's name and the
donors name engraved upon each article"
DR.. Adger makes the following addition
al statement, which, for the honor of hu-
manity as well as Christianity, we hope can
not be true:
ga certain congregation of your body
now has that silver communion set, which
Captain Fuller presented to them, and are
now using it for their communion purposes,
with those names of Zion Church and its
dying sister staring them continually in
the face, as they eat the bread and drink
the wine which set forth the body and
blood of our common Master"
The idea that Christian can church cee.
brate the holy ordinance of the Lords Sup.
per in the use of vessels thus obtained, is
too monstrous.

Yorkyille Female College

1t will be matter of sincere congratula-
tion on the part of the friends of this To
stitution, to know that it has been re-organ-
lied, and its exercises are to be resumed on
the lst of January, with competent corps
f'teachers. The College Building which
has afforded, during and since the war, an
asylum for refugees, is again under the
control of the Trustees, and will be used
for Collegiate purposes hereafter.
The Rev. R. B. ANDERSON, the newly
elected President, will be ably assisted, by
the Rev. M. D. WOOD and the Misses
MAN1aAULT, in the Collegiate Department
Miss G. AMANDA MOORE will be in charge
of the Primary Glasses, and Mrs. N. W.
THoRNwELL is to continue in the RESPONSE
BILE position of Matron. Young ladies com.
ing to this Institution, can be boarded in
the College Building, where ample space
has been provided for this purpose, under
the immediate control of Mrs. THoRNWELL
The location of this Institution in one oi
the healtbiest villages in the State-the fa-
ciities of railroad communication it offers
with almost every seotion-the seolusion oi
the building from the business portion Of
the town, and the high character and com
petency of its teachers, renders it one of de-
sirable interest to those who have daughters
to educate.
We are disposed to boast still more, and
believe that no place in the country offers o
population that can compare with ours in
morals, intelligence, good looks, or plenti-
full supply Of the good things of life. If
any are skeptical on these points, let them
come and try US. :.

The literary matter is from some Of the

Correspondence of the Charleston Courier.
From Washington.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10. - A number
of the members of Congress from distant
States have arrived here, and others have,
by agents secured quarters for the coming
short session "a session that may, in re-
gard to re elected members, prove long
one. The public necessities will probably
require called session of the Fortieth Con.
gress, if, at the coming session, no decided
progress be made towards the restoration Of
the Union. The people are disappointed at
the delay of this contamination, and will
impute it to the factiousness or the imbe-
oility of Congress.
The Radical masses expected the South
or the President would accept the terms
proposed by Congress after the election,
but are disappointed. The excluded South
ern States and the border States are firm
against the Congress proposition, and it
must be dropped. Hence the movements
for new party to be got up on the amnesty
suffrage basis The Radicals propose to
compromise The President does not. The
border States do not The President has
set his face firmly, as ever, against the plan
for any compromise which will invoke an
interference by Congress in the laws of the
States, preventing the qualification Of its
citizens for the exercise of the rights of suf-
frage. If Southern representation be not
admitted till the President go for the imposi.
tion of any suffrage laws upon the States, it
will never be admitted at all. The States
themselves, may nevertheless, in the course
of time, extend the rights of suffrage to all
races and colors, and sexes too, for aught
Congress can do.
The "amnesty y.suffrage" humbug is play
ed out already. The Democratic papers
that bave favored the plan of ''impartial
suffrage" have rapidly lost business and in.
fuenco.
We learn from Radical members now
here, that there will be disposition on the
part of the majority of their party in Con.
gress to avoid extremes in legislation
The schemes of their Extremists will, they
say, be discouraged. They will not legis-
late against the South, nor force quarrel
upon the President. As to the impeach.
ment of the President, it will, they soy, be
unavailable aud abandoned LEO.

The News from Europe.

The attitude assumed by Austria may
mean more than appears upon the surface.
If she has indeed resorted to the subter-
fuges charged upon her in the kilograms
which we publish this morning, then there
is another Emperor at the bottom of the
matter-either he of France or he of Rus
sia-and there will be second war very
soon, and one which the needle-gun will
be powerless to bring to an early termi'
nation. The "balance ofpower" has beer
wonderfully disturbed by Prussia, and it i:
possible that France and Russia, or one o.
the two, took part in the contest just as il
seemed to be ended. The lapse of few
days will throw more light upon the sub
iect. ,,...

VIRGINIA STATE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY
AND FARMERS CONvENTIoN.--It will be
seen, from the notice in another column,
that Hon. WILLoUGHBY NEWTON, the pre-
sident, has called meeting of the Virginia
State Agricultural Society, to be held in
this city on the goth day of November
next, and invites all the farmers of the
State, whether members or not, to meet
with the Society. 49," ~ C'
This is movement which meets the
cordial appreciation of our people, and one
which will result, We hope, in infusing
new life into the Society, and in benefit
ing the agricultural interests of the State.
The remarks Of Mr.. WILLIAMS, the secre-
tary Of the Society, are commended par
ticularly to the attention of the people in
the various counties. 4.
