UarSdW dec 81 correspondence Of Posen Journal.
Russia is secretly arming to a considerable
extent; the fact is undeniable. An incredible
activity prevails in her arsenals; she is con-
vcIting the old infantry muskets into needle
lilies and filling up the regiments; in short, she
Is putting herself in condition to be prepared
Tor any event next spring.
The superior officers believe they will be
called upon to enter on a campaign at that
period. However, it Is only stating the truth
10 say that up to the present no change has
been made in the cantonments of the Russian
army, and that the military force has not been
increased in the kingdom of Poland. The Aus.
trian frontier is as bare of Russian troops as in
ordinary times.
considerable number of young men, natives
OF Galicia, who had taken part in the last Polish
nsurrection, have just passed through Warsaw.
They had been sent to Siberia, but the Russian
Vienna, has lately set them at liberty, and they
ale returning TO their homes. Scarcely half of
these young men, 1t is perceived with regret
have come back; the Others found their death

Cnrdinnl CulIcn,s Pastorol.

The pastoral OF Cardinal Cullen, read IN the
Dublin churches aud chapels, and referred to in
our cable Dispatches alludes to the Fenian
movement
Though our faithful pc ople are too much
attached 20 religion to allow systems which are
condemned by the law OF God and man TO spread
widely among them, vet IL is TO be regretted
that emissares from other countries, imbued
with the spirit of the present times, aud advO-
Gates of physical force and violence have been
laboring to make them countenaucc secret asso-
Ciations or revolutionary movements. I'M
doubtedly, those who have been led astray
being few and powerless and oftentimes the
dupes OF the in'ormer, their movements cannot
afford any justification for that alarm which
seems to nave occupied the public mind.
And here let us observe that it is very strange
that the writer's of the Orange press, and others
who are now disturbing the country by circ l.
lating exaggerated reports of impending out
breaks, were most active a few months ago in
encouraging dangerous writings, and praising
the spirit OF independence and resistance to Law.

architect of secret societies, MaZzini, should
now be so loud in the denunciations OF the men

The contradictions in which the Writers re-
fcrred to aIe thus involved appear to be Just
retrlbution Tor their past errors, and for the
want OF principle which made them forget to
do to others as they would that others should do
to them. But, however that may be, my advice
to you dearly beloved, is the same which have
giyen YOU repeatedly during the last five years.
Following the maXims of the Gospel, which
teach YOU to be Obedient to the higher powers,
keep aloof ON all those who advocate violence
or revolution, or seek to bring on a collision
with the established authorities.

The President Declines to Interfere In

Sr. LOUIS, December 26.-The conservatives
report that President Johnson declines inter

each State should be left free to preserve
peace, and no interference tolerated unless the

The cause is unknown.
The Marshal has gone TO Leavenworth TO
confer with General Hancock, and the Governor
has sent additional militia to Lexington on
account of threats of bushwhackers in the sur
rounding country. All sorts of horrible out

feld in Lexington dist, and not far from the
Court House, hearing an unusual noise, together
with the report of pistol, repaired to the spot,
and there discovered dead body, which was
afterwards identified by Mr. John Hair, of Frog
Leve, then on his way to Columbia, as that Of
Capt Chesley Herbert, of this District, most
estimable christian gentleman. The body was
very much nutilated, apparently from blows in
Aicted: with club, while s~ball fred at the back
of the head: had passed out near the upper lip.

had horse stolen from him by a negro. On
MOI day he started in pursuit, and overlook the
thief on Tuesday, On Thursday morning while
on his way back with the. negro, he was most
foully murdered by him. The negro has been ar

THE SPRING TRADE-Our merchants in the in
terror, about replenishing their stocks for the
spring season, will perhaps be surprised to find
on visit to Charleston prices of all merchandise
much lower here than those i'll New York or
other Northern cities. This, too, exclusive Of
freight, insurance, internal revenue tax, wharf
'age, drayage, and the numerous other charges
attendant on orders and shipments from the
North Our Wholesale establishments, paFticu-
larly on Hayne and Mecting-streets, in the vi
cinity of the Charleston Hotel, are now packed
in every department With extensive, assorted
stock of the latest and most elegant styles of
goods, selected by their partners Or agents resi-
dent in New York, for the large direct importing
houses in that city. The plan adopted by our
wholesale merchants with regard to the frequent
changes in the New York market, Of having reg
ular attendants on public sales, gives them supe-
rior advantages bothin buying and selling, to
warrant the present liberal and remuneratiVe
dealing with their home patrons. Our country
friends avoid toe the heavy expenses involved in
Northern trip and return home, and enjoy the
additional qualification of contributing to the
good work in the material restoration and pros
peritY of the metropolis of the State the pride of
every Southern heart. Our merchants are ready
to meet all demands upon them, and are SAN
guine of a successful and prosperous spring ous-
ness. We feel assured their expectations will be
fully realized. The advertising columns of the
Courier will be found an excellent guide to stran.

Special investigation.

Capt, Il. A. Shorey, 18th Maine Vol, in COM
pany with Lieut.. Ziegler, arrived in town last
week, having been detailed, by order of Gen:
Sickles to investigate the condition of affairs in
NeWberry and Laurens Districts. Some serious
charges have been preferred against our people,
as to the treatment of the Freed people, in effect
as follows s'That there are armed bands. in the
districts, who are harbored, and paid by citizens
of influence, for the avowed purpose Of commit
ting outrages upon Freed people, by numbering
and 8ogging; that these bands are Systematically
screened from the authorities, and sba5 no one
dares new to report the outrages committed !;
that in cases where persons have heretofore tes-
tilted against the perpetrators of these outrages,
they have been compelled to leave the Districts,
to escape the vengeance of the friends of the
accused that murder and other outrages have
been committed upon the Freed people for a
price per head, " etc. .- ..
In case these reports are substantiated, Capt.
Shorey's Instructions contemplates the removal
to COLUMBIA of all Freed people of the two Dis
tricts who are rendered insecure by these out
RACES, the expenses to be paid BIZ an assessment
levied by the military authorities upon the eiti-
zens of the two Districts. Z 80 ~. ..-r.
We trust that our citizens will lend the gentle
men of the commission their influence in investi-
eating these charges that the matter may be set
tied And hope that an impartial and iustsxan1i'
nation will prove many,i not all, of these reports
greatly aggravated and witho ut foundation,

said just at tie present tine concerning the rava-
ges which have been made by the cholera in for
eign countrie> within the past twenty months,
and the probabilities of its appearance at our
own doors during the coming summer, it is no
reason. why we should abandon ourselves to a
belief that se shall escape visit from the dread
ed scourge. The authorities all over the coun-
try cannot act too promptly@in preparing for the
worst. 1t is true, we may possibly glide through
the summer without being attacked by the ,chel-
era, but in the opinion OF medical scholars, pre-
viously affirmed and still maintained, I'VE shall not
