EENIASs NOT TO DE PROSECUTED BY
THE UNITED STATES. st is reliably
stated that the United States authori-
ties have determined to quash the
proceedings against Nh. Roberts, the
Eenian President This action will
meet with general approval in this
country, but it is not likely to be
reilshed by the frightened Canadians.
1t will be remembered that, when MI
Roberts was arrested, he refused to
make any concessions or promises for
the sake of regaining his liberty,
plainly declaring that, if he were re
leased, he should not relax his efforts
In the Fenian cause. His bond will
now soon be cancelled, and he will
then be free to resume Fenian ope-
rations, if he shall feel so disposed.
The Government dld quite enough
for the Canadians when it saved them
from the terrible Fonians, and ii
they now feel indignant because our
Government has determined not to
prosecute the Fenians who were az
rested, they will have to make the
best OF 1T. Let them remember St
Aiban' s.-Ne1r York .Sum.

MILITARY ARREST. Captain John
Watson, of this District, was recently
arrested and carried to Charleston by
two negro soldiers, who were sent up
for that purpose. Captain Watson,
we understand, had lost a beef, and,
suspecting some negroes on the plant
alton of T. L. Gourdin, made search
in their houses. This highly offended
the ''colored gentlemen who i'm
mediately reported the matter to ''de
he'd man. lin Charleston, with vo-
luminous tale, no doubt, that they
were shot at, &c. Captain Watson
stood his trial, we are informed,
and was fined three dollars for vio-
lating the law, that is, for searching
tie negro houses ariMoMu q ac07'ra,a. We
learn that the negroes claimed da-
IMAGES to the amount of 800, but
they failed to get that, eren before a
3)2OrOSt court.
We sympathize deeply for our fel-
low-citizen, thus to be harrassed and
mortified by such treatment When
will the day of our deliverance come?

The Brandon Repu5licm learns
that silver mine was discovered in
Franklin County several years since,
but owing to the fact that the land
belonged to some heirs, and could
not be purchased, the discoverers
kept it a profound secret until verv

an interest in the land, and will soon

CANDID. OF General Forrest, the
Memphis Post, an ultra radical pa
per, says editorially:
Up to the close of the war we, in
common with almost ali Union men,
regarded General Forrest with q de-
gree OF disfavor greater than was
felt for almost any other Confederate
officer. His manly and honorable
address to his troops at the time of
the surrender caused us to look upon
him with less prejudice, and the
straightforward, consistent course he
has since pursued has induced us.
whenever we have had occasion to
allude to him, to do so with an ex
presssion of high respect.

Cathedral in this city, the American
flag was displayed above the Union

flags on that occasion, that the Union
Jack was at the head, and the Ame-
rican flag was displayed low down on
the staff. At an ordinary time such
a statement might pass without
notice, but at this moment correc-
ton should be made. -

rhe constitutional Amendment.

We commend the following re-
marks, from an article in the Charles
ton Courier, to the gentleman from
South Carolina who said in Wash
ington that he was going home to
urge the people to adopt the consti-
tutional amendment:
While the adoption Of the consti-
tutional amendment, proposed at
the last session Of Congress, is urged
upon the South, neither Congress or
the Republican party haze given any
assurance that, this accepted, the
Southern Commonwealth will be
recognized as States, or their people
be entitled to representation.
In fact, its adoption will shut out
the '@rge body of the people from
any true representation. It will ex-
clude from any Office, State or Fede-
raj, all who may have at any period
of their lives taken the oath to main
tain the Constitution of the United
States, and who have in any measure
participated with the South in the
recent struggle.
If this is carried into effect, how
many in South Carolina would be
eligible for any, even the humblest,
position? The vast majority of our
people would be incapacitated, and
rendered unworthy for life. Repre-
sentation, under these circumstances,
would he the merest mockery and
farce.
And yet, SO far as the radicals are
concerned, the signs of the times in
dicate that even if this should be
yielded, and should these States thus
consent, voluntarily, to place the
yoke of disqualification around their
necks, they would still be held in
servitude for further burdens. The
South has given every pledge for the
perpetuity of the Union. SO far as
freedom is concerned, there is now
no distinction on account of caste or
race. And this by the act Of the
people of these Commonwealths,
themselves, in convention assembled.

DESPERATE ENCOUNTER WITH A
DEER.
From Che Eau Claire llYis.) Press.l

From The Eau Claire lWis.) Press
One Of the most daring encounters incl
dent 20 hunting life-though fortunately re-
sulting IN nothing serious-that we have
heard of for a long time, occurred in the
vicinity Of Mud Greek, one day last week.
Mr.. ED. NICHOLS, formerly Of this place,
started out onemorningwith his dog, through
piece ofwoods near his farm. Scarcely had
he entered the forest over a mile from his
habitatiOn, when suddenly up sprung a large
buck from his concealment, and confronting
him face to face for an Instant made fear
ful dash at him. Mr.. NICHOLS, though
having no weapon Of defense, never once
thought Of retreating, but firmly grasped
one Of the animals gigantic horns, while the
dog took hold Of his throat. For a while
the struggle between the three was most fear
iui-one moment The man had the deer
down, but the deer, possessed Of that dexter
ity and nimbleness peculiar TO them. sprang
10 his feet again and again, using all his en-
deavors IN twirling his antagonists around.
Mr.. n, dare not loose his hold, and the only
hope 10 save his life was by encouraging the
dog, which mean while hung on 10 the bucks
throat with canine tenacity. To worry the
buck 10 exhaustion, with the assistance Of
the dog was the only means Of conquering
his adversary, and aiter long and tiresome
struggle, was finally snocessfnl, when he got
a club and knocked the animal in the head.
At the end Of the combat, Mr.. NICHOLS
clothing was entirely torn from him, and he
had nothing 80 cover the costume which ma
ture furnished him. He returned home
through by-ways and called Justify 70 his
wife 90 furnish him with clothing and then
returning he brought his venison home.
which, aiter beiEg dressed, weighed over
two hundred pounds When we take into
consideration the fact that Mr.. n. isa very
small man, weighing only about one hun

taking, and eOurageously did he meet il.

Perhaps some Of our readers may be Curl
Gus 10 know what sort Of a preacher he is.
From the last volume, "9he Goan Of Wild
Oiiue," we quote the following:
Everybody in this room has been taught
10 pray daily THY Kingdom come" Now,
IL we hear a man swear in the street, we
think it very wrong, and say he takes Cons
name in vain. But there is twenty times
worse way Of taking his name in vain than
that. II is 10 ask GoD for thdt iDe don't rant.
He doesn't like that sort Of prayer. If you
don't want a thing, don't ask for It; such ask
ing Is the worst mockery Of your King you
can mock him with; the soldiers striking
him on the head with a reed was nothing to
that. II you do not wish for this kingdom,
don't pray for it. But If you do, you must
do more than pray for it-you must work
for Il. And 10 work Tor it, you must know
what il is; VIC have al prayed for it many
day without thinking.
Observe, il is a kingdom that is TO come
10 us; we are not 20 20 10 it. Also, it is not
TO be a kingdom Of the dead, but Of the liv-
ing. Also, il is not 10 come all at once, but
quietly-nObody knows how. "The king
dom Of God cometh not with observation"
Also, il is not TO come outside Of Us, but in
the hearts Of u.s. sthe kingdom Of Christ is
within YOU" And being within us, it is
net a shinn 20 bn soon hnf IN no felt. and
though il brings all substance Of good with
IT, il does not consist in that; ''the kingdom
Of Heaven is not meat and drink, but right
eousness, and peace, and Joy in the Holy
Ghost" Joy, that is TO say, in the hopeful
Spirit
Now, if we want to work for this king
dom, and bring il, and enter into it, there
is just one condition 10 be first accepted.
You must enter il as children or not at
all. "Whosoever will not receive il as a
little child, shall not enter therein" And
again: "Sufier little children to come unto
me, and forbid them not, for such is the
kingdom Of Heaven.
