We publish in order to prepare our citizens for the

TIE PheneS says: 'sWe are gratiied to learn that
petition General s1cKIEs for the release Of the
young men RADCLIFFE and DAILY, or rather, we
should say, for a remission Of their severe SEN
tence.
"Such evidences Of the kind and sympathetic
relations between the two races speak louder than
all the platforms, speeches and resolutions in the
world. The colored community know, like others
OF our citizens, that these young men are wrong;
but they are also assured that they did not moan
wrong, and in this action which they have taken
they demonstrate that no mere political differences
Of opinion can alter the allegiance which they
have ever held towards old friends associates and
citizens.
'aThis petition is one of the hsppiest signs Of
confidence we have yet heard OF, and it is to be
hoped that, coming from such an honest source,
it will be entitled to some weight in ite considera-
ton by tho military authorities. It is the white
man who, when the colored man is in trouble be-
fore our courts and magistrates, affords the lat
ter assistance and now, when young son OF
Columbia is in bad box, why should the colorod
man not reciprocate2 He is doing so."
EXCURSION TO PoMT VHw.-In these piping
times Of ''sultriness and heat" it is q source Of
pleasure for the poor local. once and occasionally,
to have the privilege Of Willing away half dozen
hours on some pleasant excursion A pleasant,
delightful time we had on board the United States
Revenue Cutter Racer, commanded b. Captain
BAKER, which, in consequence Of no breeze s'atir-
ring on the face Of the waters" was towed smooth
" and swiftly along by the water boat Aones.
Captain LouMo1, as FAR as Point View. on
the Cooper River which place at present is
under the care and supervision Of Colonel
PATTON who is engaged in planting there.
We took q ride over tho plantation. The
entire crop sowed down is cotton. The number OF
acres under cultivation is $50, which We must say
without exaggeration, is in as fine a condition as
any cotton in the country, perfectly cean of good
heiphth and well boiled. Countless millions of
blossoms are to be seen blooming as far as the
prospect extends. The only thing to insure good
c1op is dry weather and late fall. If everything
works right in wind and weather, the prospects Of
magnificent yield will be sure.
During the first year we were informed by Col.
PATTON that they used fertilizers to great extent.
The freedmen, he says, have worked remarkably
we'll They have been paid monthly wages, and
appear to be well satisfied with their condition.
In the afternoon, after spending the first hours
Of the day in truly "good old fashioned STYLE"
and which VIZ have no cause to regret, we en-
bsrked again on board the Racer, and was landed
st the wharf, safe, sober and sound.
