rMn1ncrIMrKrI } az IErr. DAVIS.

In the United States Circuit Court at Norfolk
Virginia, on last Thursday, the grand jury found
a true bill against JEFFERSON DAVIS for treason
The Court then. adjourned to meet on the first
Tuesday in June in Richmond. Mr.. DAVIS is said
TO be anxious that his trial be had OF the earliest
day possible. Able counsellors have been re-
tanned for the defence, and the whole country will
await the result with intense interest and feeling
OF course, he will be convicted but we cannot
believe that Mr. DAVIS will suffer capital punish
ment for pursuing o course identical with thou
sands who are no loss to be blamed than himself
Hardly one of twenty amongst us but are equally
guilty and culpable in the eyes of the insatiate
monsters who now clamor for his execution; and
it evinces q want of manhood to feel that, while
this honorable gentleman is made to suffer, We are
less implicated in his trangressions. None with
the. spirit Of candor and honesty can truly
declare thathis cause was not their cause when
the lives and honols and fortunes Of US all were
involved in the contest if such there be, let the
hissings Of scorn and reproach be theirs through
life. Words fail to convey our e1ecration of the
wretch who glores in the humiliation and defeat of
his own section, and gloats over the misfortunes
Of gallant, high-souled men.

STATE NEWS.

The Laurensville Herald gives the gratifying in
formation that the Laurens Railroad has been leas-
ed to DR.. B. s. James, late President of the Road,
who has gone to work in on energetic manner, and
will at an early day resume the trains The lessee
is suited to the task. combining energy, activity
and enterprise and we wish him an abundant sue
cess in the undertaking. The Herald announces,
with sincere regret, which is shared by all
acouaintances, the death of Mrs. Jane c., wife of
DR.. John W. Simpsons, a prominent citizen of that
village. The estimablc lady was held in justly
high esteem by all her neighbors.
The Yorkville Enquirer saysthatthc cool weather
in that region has been unfavorable to the cotton
crop, and the seed being damaged and the area of
land in cultivation reduced, bad stands have re-
suited. Farmers are desponding in consequence.
The editor says the wheat crops in Onion, whittier
he has been, ore Highly promising. The Enquirer
thinks that the new system of freed labor is not
operating satisfactorily, but better than many ex-
pected. In many instances contracts are broken
by the freedmen, and new ones formed with other
parties The suggestion is, therefore, made TO
farmers that they steadily refuse to employ labor
ers who have deserted first employers.
The Abbeville Press complains that crime is
largely on the increase with the freedmen, in the
way of depredations on the smoke-housea of oiti-
1ens

Mn. EpIron: The colorcd man is now free, and

desire to seek homes in other States, outside
of the ones of which they we're in bondage.
We think it would be . great advantage to his Pc

Treasurer, and depend on the charity of indvidu-
ais for contributions-any one becoming Life
Mmeber by contributing SO much. They have o
similar organization in Washington city, to aid the
African, should he desire to emigrate to Liberia
This Society, believe, was in existence before the
war, and it is supposed, has done good work
in the civilization and eyangelization of Africa.
It is not our object to cooperate with this coln-
cation Society, but only furnish the colored man
means, SO that he can seek, if he does not choose
to remain in the States where he was formerly
enslaved, other States in America, where slavery
did not exist prior to the war.
Should this meet the appreciation of the people,
we would like to sec them enter into the matter at
once. Let every one contribute what ho is enabled

FRIENDsHIP.


A Gift too sacred to be priced by one
Around whose heart the bitter world has thrown
The chain of cold insensibilty to woe!
Steeling the soul gainst feelings nature didst be-
stow.
Made in the image of his God, man would efface
That likeness, and by all that's mean, degrading,
base,
Wear the dark mask Of cold, selfish world, and
feel
Himself man because he bears heart of STEEL
Friendship to such is but name like fragile flower,
It shrnks at his cold touch its holy influence and
power
Are keenly felt by those alone whom heart to heart
The Gordian knot hath bound! No human scheme
or art,
Nay, the sharp sword of Death itself shall fail to
break
One link Of that strong chain Responsive chords
do make
On seraph harp, when friendships hand doth
touch the strings
Long mute of some poor withered heart, until it
brings
Once more to life hopes deemed too beautiful to
last,
And holy visions of a sadly buried pastl
The world too, hath its friendships, but it mocks
the heart
To ace how wrongd the pure and sacred cen in
name can be!
It's root is selfshness, the chilling atmosphere
Of cold ingratitude hath made its blossoms sere;
II sheds no fragrance sweet around the poor man,
way,
Cheering his spirit in adversely dark day!
The friendship of the world 0, give it not that
name,
Hallowed and pure as the bright realms from
whence it camel
If fstoical philosophy with iron will,
Doth mould some human hearts, there aro fond bo-
SONS still
Where friendship holds her sway; failatul through
life to prosc;
And after death, perfected ia the realms above

thy light and gladstone heart which never knows q

the flowers which natures kind hand strews along
thy pathway swiftly speed The moments whilst
the wing of time bears 10 thy young and llgbtsome
bosom thoughts and promises Of joy and love,
peace and happiness Sorrow has never ventured
her gloomy tread in thy joyous pathway; the'un-
kind word or look has never fallen on thine ear or
met thy glance; the cold winds Of adversely have
never famed thy warm and ardent bosom; the
bitter, devastating breath Of censure has never
blighted thy brightest and fondest hopes; the lips
Of soorn and malice dare not pronounce thy pure
and spotless name Oh, happy halcyon days,
with what vain regret and longing, does he look
back, Who has bid farewell to thy peaceful hours
and fowery labyrinths, for the rugged paths Of
cold and bitter world, where he tries in vain to
stem the rapid current Of fate In vain does he
endeayor to bury in oblivion the thoughts of hap
pier hours; his childhood's haunts; the moments
passed free from care and sorrow, all which crowd
themselves upon his over-burdened mind, adding q
still greater weight Of misery to his sinking spirit
But alas he cannot, there viii break forth some
ray of light from the buried ruins of past happi-
ness until at last the noble spirit yields to the de-
mand of nature and the tear Of repentance is call
ed up from the hearts deep forest of feeling! He
no longer fixes his earnest gaze on the future with
horror and dismsy, nor does he endeayor to repel
the thoughts of former peace and happiness, when
they. arise to cheer and gladden. his spirit! He
looks upon the past and present as bright and
happy dream, from which he knows he will, one
dsy awake, to more bright and blissful reality

FROM WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE Senate passed the
postal appropriation bill, after striking out the
amendment heretofore adopted, preventing parties
appointed to Office during the recess from recover
ing any pay until confirmed by the Senate. Be-
forss the passage of the bill, Mr.. Cowan made q
speech, declaring those who interposed to prevent
the Southern States from being represented were
disunionists, and that opposition to restoration
was superinduced by fear of losing political power
Gen. Sickles has been confirmed as Minister to
the Hague.
WASHINGTON, May 12.-Generals steedman and
Fullerton, Commissioners appointed by the Presi-
dent to investigate the operations of the Freed
mems Bureau in the Southern States, have report
ed as TO Virginia and North Carolina. They give
instances of the dishonesty and arbitrary power
exercised by of the officers and agents of the
Bureau in making arrests, imposing fines and in
ficting punishments, disregarding the local laws
and especially the statute Of limitations, thus cre
ating prejudice against the Government They
therefore recommend the withdrawal of the officers
of the Bureau, and also transference to the officers
commanding troops of such duties as it may still
be necessary to perform in connection with the
freedmen.
WASHINGTON, May l4.-The Senate has con-
frmed John Bowles, of Augusta Assessor of the
Internal Revenue for the Third District of Geor-
gia. The Senate was principally engaged in the
discussion of the bill to prevent smuggling on the
Northern frontier which provides for rigid sys-
tenn of search and examination of nj vessels ply
ing between the United States and foreign coun-
tries. ar
The House adopted q resolution instructing the
Judiciary Committee to inquire into the expedien-
cy of SO altering the existing law rs to abrogate
the tenure of office at the pleasure Of the appoint
ing power, and to mako it subject only to the con-
dition of good behavior, Mr.. Stevens introduced
resolution for the appointment of committee
of three members of the House to investigate the
Memphis riots, which was passed. Mr. Chandler,
of New York, offered resolution endorsing the
President for having, by the exercise of his veto
power, protected the people of the country from
the acts of wicked, malignant and mischievous
men. The House refused to entertain the resolu-
ton. Mr.. Schcnck then offered n resolution of
censure against Mr. Chandler, for the insult offer
