necessarily contemplate either the resto-
ration of the Southern States, or their

Our Duty to the Negro.
The Wilmington Journal saws

The Wilmington Jour7,m says:
The tendency OF the negro is to
quit the natural field of labor and
rush to the towns and cities, thus to
become, i'll q majority of cases, the
victim of his own Ignorance, acquired
vice and disease. Our province
should be to take charge Of the negro
IN ell that pertains to his welfare; for
by improving his condition mentally,
morally2 and physically, we shall
advance ourselves, benefit our present
condition, and secure the prosperity
of our children. And before going
farther, let it be distinctly under
stood that we believe there is q
barrier between the equality of the
races which God has made and that
any attempt which man may make to
remove or overcome it, must end in
calamities which the violation of
nations laws will always entail.
The first duty will be to direct the
morals; and how can this best be ac
complished? In our Judgment, it
must be effected by influencing their
affections, securing their confidence,
enllghtenlhg then conscience, and
directing their intellect. The negro
is now free but because so, it does
not follow that he is able to take
care of himself. All of our precon-
ceived notions, all our present con-
vlctions tell us that alone he is unable
to walk in tho paths of civilization,
much less to reach the heights Of
moral excellence. Humanity. reli-
gion, duty, interest demand, and
order, that we assume at once the
position of teacher to this race, so
long a useful part of people. They
were brought to us by the English
and Yankees, the heather savage; as
slaves we taught them to be useful
christians. They are free by no
working of theirs; shall they, by our
blindness or neglect, become again
what they were?

Amnesty md Pardon.

The 18th section of the Act of July
II, 1862, defining the penalties of
treason and instruction, is in the
following terms:
"The President is hereby authorized.
at any time hereafter, by proclama-
ton, to extend to persons who may
have participated in the existing re-
bellion, IN any State or part thereof,
pardon and amnesty, with such excep-
tlons, and at such time, and on such
conditions, as he may deem expedient
for the public welfare
We cannot doubt that the Pres;-
dent intends, and the country ex-
poets, that all, or nearly all, of the
excepted classes will, sooner or later,
be pardoncd. Ii this is to be the
final result, the sooner it is consum-
mated the better. The persons yet
unpardoned are the men of wealth.
the men of enterprise, the men whose
capital and business capacity are
needed to relieve the South from its
industrial stagnation, and renew it's
prosperity. The cases are all so
nearly alike, the crime is so precisely
the same, not differing at all in ma
ture and but little in degree. that
there is no good reason whv every
case should receive a separate cxami-
nation at the hands of the President.
A new amnesty proclamation for the
immediate relief of all classes is one
of the fittest things the President
could execute.
We deem it important that he
should publish such an amnesty now,
before the meeting Of Congress, lest
that body should repeal the section
above quoted, and then deny the au-
thority of the President to take any
further action. The radicals want to
keep the remaining cases, rs the only
means they have left Of terrifying the
South into q ratification of the pend
ing or some more Objectionable con-
stltutlonal amendment The Presi-
dentshould promptly take this weapon
ont of their hands His authority to
do so now is undoubted and incontro-
vertible, for Congress itself has ex-
pressly conferred it. If that permis-
sion should be repealed at the begin
ming Of the session, his authority
would be open to question; and if,
after q repeal, he should act in mani
fest defiance OF the will of Congress.

FROM AnKANsAs.-A special de-
spatch to the Memphis Acolanche
says:
A resolution introduced in the Le-
gislature to-day to reject the constitu-
tlonal amendment was referred to the
Committee on Federal Relations, and
there is disposition to treat the mat
ter with great deliberation.
In the Presbyterian General AS
sembly, to-day, reports of commit
tees on foreign missions and educa-
ton We're read. After this, the dis
cussion of the revised book of disci-
pline was taken up, and long and
animated debate held upon that sec
ton which defines the relation of
baptized children to discipline and
the church. Debate was opened by
Rev. Arnold W. Miller, of North
Carolina, in opposition to the pro-
posed change. He was followed by
Rev. DIR. Adger, of South Carolina,
and Rev. DR.. Baird, of Virginia, in
favor of the amendment, and Rev.
DIR. Rice, of Alabama, in opposition.
Rev. DR.. Palmer, of New Orleans,
had the floor when the house ad-
iourned.

Thursday Morning, Nov. 90, 1856.
Important Release.

We congratulate Messrs. J. G. and
Robert Keyes, Z. w. Byrem and T.
G. Showers, upon their release, last
Saturday, at Wilmington, Delaware,
before Judge Hall, upon q writ Of
h06edS corpus.
These gentlemen have been under
arrest for the past thirteen months
subjected, in many instances, to more
than the usual indignities of prison
life, coupled with an absence from
their families and avocations.
Our readers Will remember their
conviction before q military tribunal,
in Charleston, upon a charge Of the
murder of three Federal soldiers, at
Browns Ferry, in Anderson District,
and how they were apparently spirit
ed away from Castle Pinckney, after
their sentence of death had been
committed to Imprisonment for life.
The case was ably argued by Col.
Fl. Tompkins, of Washington, and
Thomas Bayard, for the prisoners,
and the District Attorney and Mr..
Booth, for the prosecution.
From personal interview with the
gentlemen above. named, we are in
duced to extend the thanks of them
selves and friends for the many acts
of kindness extended them by the
good people of Delaware.
In this decision and release, we re-
cognize much that is gratifying and
encouraging, aside from the interest
existing in the personal safety of the
parties involved.
Aware that public interest, in this
State, especially, is keenly alive in
reference to this case, we shall take
especial pleasure in laying before
our readers the full proceedings, at
the earliest day practicable.
The gentlemen aforementioned
leave our city this morning, on the
Greenville train, for their homes, in
Anderson District, and we sincerely
wish them u speedy and happy re-
turn to their fa:nilics, from whom
they have beer so long absent.

cious, and give their oountenance to
radical schemes.
We know OF no more practicable
plan than this whereby the South can
strengthen its position and throw the
weight of popular opprobrium upon
Its adversaries, and we trust that the
subject will be considered and acted
upon without delay by tho Southern
legislatures, and that they ask the
cooperation of the legislatures of the
Northern States in the movement.
They will sacrifice neithertheir rights
nor their dignity by SO doing, bat
may accomplish much good and gain
security for the safety of their section.

and his advisers may be, is, of course,
left to conjecture. The reported alb
dication and departure of Maximilian
is, no doubt, the Immediate cause of
this expedition, but it is intimated
that'the purpose of the Administra-
ton is, eventually, to unite the Ame-
rican people by foreign war, and
divert their attention from political
differences at home. Whatever may
be the motive, we do not believe that
the American people desire, at this
time, to plunge in war, and especially
war that is almost certain to involve
rs in difficulties with foreign nations.
We have great faith in the wisdom
and conservatism of the President,
General Grant, Mr.. Seward and
others, whose advice the Executive
would most likely follow; but. with
the sober minded mass Of the Ameri-
can people, we cannot but deprecate
any action Of the Government which
may produce war, involving the
country still more deeply in debt,
and arresting, for the time being, he1
progress and prosperity.

The New Wharf.-The season has
been favorable to the wheat sown this
fall, and from all accounts, it has
como up very beautifully, and appears
most lively and thrifty throughout
this section of country. 1t is what is
termed a good stand" and thus far
promises well. The only drawback
has been the difficulty experienced by
the farmers in getting seed wheat,
winch forced them to put less ground

sired to do.

Important, il True.

4 special telegram from Washing
ton to the New York Herald, of the
10Th, furnishes the following news,
which, if reliable, is somewhat i'm
portant:
Statements made to-day by
number of the leading representative
men of both the Republican and
Democratic parties tend to confirm
the few intimations that have leaked
out from the recent consultations at
the White House, that the President
is ont the eve of a grand coup d'eta,
that will crafty his friends and be-
wilder his enemies. Itis safe to con-
clude, at the very least, that there is
an earnest desire on both sides to
settle upon some feasible plan of Sc
curing harmonious action between
Congress and the Executive in the
future"

date, has the following special de-

always and rightly maintained, that
all the States are entitled to admis-

the constitutional provision which
makes each house the Judge of the
election and qualifications of its
members, and to the oaths prescribed,
those who present their credentials
should be admitted. This ground is
constitutional, and we should be

We have no idea that he will do SO.

Our Relations with Mexico.

The extraordinary expedition sent
to Mexico, by authority of the Go
vernment, is attracting much atten-
ton at the present time in this coun-
t-y, and will doubtless attract as much
IN Europe, when the authorized state
ment of the sailing Of the United
States steamer Susquehanna reaches
them.
The New Orleans Picay,me notices
the official announcement of this
expedition made by the Washington
National Republican, and says that,
although down in New Orleans they
are aware of and guarded against the
sensational movements of the North
ern press in regard to our Mexican
relations, yet there are many reasons
to believe that q movement of an ex-
traordinary character is really on foot,
which contemplates an entire over
turn in Mexico, and that the work is
to be done by the United States.
Among its reasons, it submits the
following:
81. We are informed by gentlemen
direct from New York, who had con-
versed with the. officers of the Sus-
quehanna, that they had been ordered
on an expedition similar to that an
nounced above. When told that to
attempt to taze'a Minister, accredited
to Juarez, into Vera Cruz, now occu-
pied by the Imperialists or Reaction
lists, they replied that they might be
compelled to cruise off the coast
awhile, but would at length find
their way in to give support to the
only Mexican Government with which
we have diplomatic relations.
so. We have been assured by q
gentleman direct from interviews with
Juarez at Chihuahua, that the United
States had resolved to support Juarez
against all contestants. He, more
over, assured us that Ortega would
be arrested on the American side OF
the Rio Grande. This information
was given after Gen. Sheridan letter
to Gen. Sedgewick, but before the
actual arrest was made as reported.
"3. The nature of the expedition
and the authority of the Govern
ment on which it is announced.
The real head Of it is, of course,
Lieut.. Gen. William Tecumseh Sher-
man, formerly Superintendent Of the
Military Academy of Louisiana, at
Alexandria, who is, of course, well
known bere. The other members OF
the expedition can be of but little
account IN the presence of such q
hlan-clerks to record his deeds,
rather than with power or antbor;ty
to direct them
The Picayune, reasoning from the
above premises, comes to the conclu
sion that the Government at Wash
ington contemplates an active inter
ference in the affairs of Mexico; anc
that, if the professea support of Jua
rez be sincere, that interference will
assume the form of u protectorate.

Whist South Carolina Has Done.

The Charleston lNercury, of Tues
day, has very good article, showing
that this little State, Notwithstanding
her misfortunes, and the destruction
of a vast amount of property, has.
when compared with other States,
manifested great energy and enter
prise In tho work of recuperation.
In our own city, there are daily evi-
dences of the determination Of our
people to retrieve their shattered
fortunes at as early date as possible,
and it gives us pleasure to say to the
Nercvy, that our burnt districts are
being rebuilt with amazing rapidity.
The buildings. too, being erected
now, are much superior in style and
finish to their predecessors:
In no Southern State have more
industry and activity been shown in
repairing the injuries of war, than
IN South Carolina; and even Virginia,
the still proud cold Dominion" )" as
sisted as she has been by Northern
capital, has not, comparatively, done
as much as has been accomplished by
this State, unaided and alone. In
Columbia and in this city, the burnt
districts have not been, it is true, re-
built, to any great extent but our
great lines ofinternal communication,
our first necessity-have been
promptly and thoroughly placed in
order. In Virginia, in respect to
depot buildings, this is not as gene
rally the case. On the Virginia and
Tennessee Railroad, between Lynch
burg and Bristol, only two depots are
standing, none of those destroyed
having been rebuilt. On the Orange
and Alexandria Railroad, only two
new depots are slowly creeping to-
wards completion; and on the Virginia
Central Railroad, the work of recon
struction does not seem to have even
been commenced.
In this State, on the contrary, most
of the principal railroads have already
been thoroughly repaired. New and
substantial depots have been put up,
to replace those wantonly and unne-
cessarily destroyed by the enemy;
the road-beds have been ballasted,
the culverts have been cleaned out,
the iron and cross-ties have been re-
newed or over-hauled, and travelling,
throughout the greater part of the
State, is both safe and agreeable.

1t is positively stated in radical
circles that Gov. Wells, of Louisiana,
in view of the recent elections and
the Presidents policy in the Balti-
more affair, has determined on imme-
diately removing the sheriffs and
other officers who have been derelict
in the discharge of their duties.
Steps are also being taken to arrest
prominent parties accused of aiding
in the July massacre.

The CoTroN CRoP.-A special de-
spatch, from New Orleans, to the
World, of the 10Th, says:
The present average of cotton re-
ceipts, since November /, at all the
ports, do not warrant an estimate for
the whole crop of over one and-a-half
million bales; and were the accounts
from the British manufacturing dis
tricts more favorable, and currency
IN this region more easy of access,
there would be material change for
the better in all the markets of the
South. Planters are sending in their
cotton freely, to obtain the money for
1T, and many of them report their
supplies already exhausted.
