A CowHInING FOR SUFFICIENT CAUSE
Yesterday the inhabitants in the vicinity oi
Barnard and Broughton streets were thrown
into considerable commotion by public
1agelation. Of one man by another. The
facts, as we have gathered them from one Of
the parties to this inter esting affair, are about
as follows: Mr.. Charles G. Cotton, an honest
and Industrious citizen, having the charge OF
sisters grawing to womanhood, placed the
younger of them in millinery establishment
10 earn the millinery business. Some off, n
sive advances having been made towards the
young lady by the husband of the proprie-
tress, were brought to the notice Of The broth.
er through an elder sister. The brother i'm
mediately armed himself with co$hide, five
feet in length, and went in search ofthe man,
called him ont of his store and confronted
him, with the lady, at the corner Of Barnard
and Co: gress streets. She reiterating Der
assertions, the brother drew his cowbidc, and
administered a severe aagella,ior. which was
not interrupted by the large crowd who wit
nesscd the per o:malc,. After a1out sevtn'y
strokes OF the whip, and when tired nature,
upon the part Of the inceDsed brother, could
proceed no further, the whipped man sought
refuge in contiguous store, bleeding from
the severe punishment inflicted. II the facts,
as stated TO Us, he true, the punishment w::s
we'll merited, aad the guilty ptrty may con-
gratulate himself with having escaped with
his life.-Savannah Republican, 10Th.

Cheerful Women.

Miss MuLocH, pleasing writer, and one who
has est .lishcd littlo prominence in the itcra-
ry world pens the following pretty and truthful
thoughts on " Cheerful Women" Who will con-
tinua the subject and give us chapter or two on
Cheerful Menu One is as much in demand MS
the other:
o, if gloomy" women did but know what COM
fort there is in II cheerful spirit! How the heart
leaps to meet IL sunshiny face, merry tongue,
and even temper, and heart which either natn.
rally, or what is BETTER from conscientious princi-.
pie, has learned to take all things on the bright
side, believing that the Giver of life being all
perfect love, the best Offering we make to Him
is to enjoy TO tho full what lIo sends Of good and
what lie allows of evil; like child who, when
once it believes in ts father, believes in al his
doings wthit, whether it understands them or not.
Among tho secondary influences which can be
employed, either by or upon naturally an 1ious
or morbid temperament, there is mono so ready to
trnd, or so wholesome, MS that 80 often referred
to-constnnt employment. A very large number
of women, particularly young women, nrc by na-
turc constituted so exceedingly restless of mind,
or with such strong physical tendency to de-
preston. that they can, by no possibility, keep
themselves III a state of even tolerablc cheerful
ness, except hy tcing continually occupied.

Respectfully returned to the Editor of the

The classes of persons for whom rations nrc
furnished by this Bureau are destitute refugees
uoyal) and ireel persons, who by reason of ago
and inlrmity, or o1trcmo youth, ore unable to
support themselves, or are without relations whose
duty it would be to support them.
That people who do not properly belong to
other of these classes sometimes succeed il de-
ccring those charged with the duty of distibu-
ting rations, i, very likely the case.
At the sams time the greatest care is exercised
to prevent persons who are able to work and to
earn support from receiving rations. In 40
-CNso h"S e"y hesiooSe pSSu 1h

bio information has been gathered concerning
doubtful cases. If any ono Of the MANY FARM

To the Editor Of the Aerevy: -
S1R-I.have beenaaked ifabespeople shall
register u ansWer untesitaangly, that every
man who will be perinitteds to register his
name asavoter, sho1ld doso. The question
is, not fhe! shall vote ;It the.comfag election,
but if heishall seeare'to himselfthe privilege
ofvoting at ALP Thc:eaarsiother matters to
be passed upon by the country, under the
Military bill, besides who shall be members
OF the convention. The constitution to be
framed by that convention is to be submitted
to the people for their approval, and unless
the privilege of voting is secured by regis!ra-
ton, the power of the country may be seized
by designing and uhscrupulous men. My
counsel, therefore; is that will she fatal
blunder not 10 secure this high privilege. If
man registers, he is. not obliged to vote (; if
he fails to do so, he will not be permitted to
exercise this great franchise. ! - y
1 think the Military dill is harsh, oppres-
siYe and upgenerous, but we must constantly
besr in mind, that it is a law of the land in
which we live and which we are. compelled
to obey we must also 'amember our condi.
ton and not refuse to exercise the rights
which remain because vehaEe been deprived
of many that we value. Let US patiently en-.
dure aud cheerfully acquiesce in that which
we cannot avoid, until m opportunity offers
itself to take advantage ofa change in public
opinion to better our condition. Unless We
secure the right to vote, we will not be able
to embrace the agolden moment" It's not
sound philosophy to be siilen and inactive in
times Of affiiction and oppression; letus do
oil we can do, to preserve the Institutions of
the country and secure all of constitutional
liberty left. 'Iheve heard good men say,
