must have the good ,ciH of the white community.
This good will is more valuable,-is worth not
only more in dollars but more in protection,
than all the rifles that Springfield can make or
soldiers carry.
If we could reach the freedmen, therefore, we
would tell them to reject the counsels Of the men
who are steering their bark to ruin, and making
them pay pilotage and to seek peace and pursue
it. To the whites we appeal to repress, to dis
courage, to keep down, that hostility of races
which. unknown among us in the days of slavery,
has lately made such alarming growth Make
great allowance for the baIeful influences that mis-
lead the negroes and while taking all proper pre-
cautions, visit your chief indignation upon the

of the Bureau.

the most locally prominent residence. The affair

AFFAIRS IN SoUTH CARoLlNA.--A spe-
cial despatch from Washington gives the
statements of Maj Walker, of the 5th Uni
ted States Cavalry, regular army, respecting
the political and social condition of South
Carolina. The major, who served with dis
tiuction through the war, has just returned
from that section of the country, and gives
most encouraging account of matters. He
says the freedmen are everywhere busily and
peaceably at work, and there seemed to be no
signs of idlcness or discomfort anywhere.

MONEY Men will work for it, fight for it,
beg for it, steal for it, starve forft, and die
for it. And all the while, from the cradle to
the grave, nature and God are laundering in
our ears the solemn question, "What shall it
profit man, if he gain the whole world and
lose his own soul" This madness for money
is the strongest and lowest of the passion; it
is the insatiate Noloch of the human heart,
before whose romorseless atarall the finer attri
butcs Of humanity are sacrificed. 1t makes
merchandise Of all that is sacred in human
affection, and even trathcs in tho awful solem-
nifty of the eternal.
W9IAT Wn1sKEY DlD-At tho office of
tho township trustee, tho other day,'we saw
an old man, seventy seven years of age, and
the father of twenty-sevcn children, who is
county pauper. This old man, some years ago,
was popular preacher of the Baptist church,
loved and respected for his piety and good
ness of heart, and honored for his intellectual
strength A word Of two syllablcs contained
the secret ct his downfall. Helovcd whiskey
drank it-and now, in his old age, is
miserable object of county charity, tottering
on the brink Of pauper's grave. There
is sermon and a warming in every white
hair of this poor old mans head, which roll
licking young men who make thoroughfares
Of their throats for constant succession of
torchight processions would do well to read.
