To All Concerned.

The ORANGEDURG News, is the cheapest
District Newspaper with but one exception, in
this State. In this grcenback age of high prices
for labor and materials, the News is furnished
upon the same terms as formerly procured the
Somhr~n in the good old days of gold and Mig
Scrs,-TwO DOLLARS per unnuna. But we de-
sire it to be understood, that we can only
afford such rates Of publication, upon strict
cash basis !; and we trust those Of our subscrib-
crs, whom We have indulgcd until this time,
will como forward now, and square their &C
counts. During the Summer season, when
money was scarce, and famine impending, We
struggled on through those trying times, max
ing our weekly visits to the Planters ircsidc,
trusting that we would not be forgotten when
the crop was gathered; but that the first Two
DOLLARS realized by the sale of produce or
cotton, would so to ''pay the printer" We
hope that our expectations will not be disa o.
pointed. We will place an \ upon some num-
bcIs Of this issue Of the ORANGEBuRG News:
and we think that it is likely our friends will
be able to interpret it, without further cxpla-
nation.

loss they should go on in the cultivation of
their lands to the extent of their means, and
whenever the sale can be effected, mako the
state of their progress n consideration in their
bargain. ain almost every day receiving let
tors Of inquiry from Northern mechanics. To
enable nc to make honest and truthful replies,
hail meeting of respectable master me-
c!.:nrs oil most Of the different branches of
trade am! solicited their advice. They could
not encourage the immigration Of mechanics
i;r the present, for tho want of employment in
consequence of the pccuniary poverty caused
by the political incertitudc of the day. 1t is
pity to discourage useful class Of people that
might be willing to establish their home in our
midst. I would therefore respectfully repeat
what had already urged in my former clrcu-
lar, viz: "In your villages or on your planta-
tions do you want a Blacksmith, Wheclwright,
NIillwright, Carpenter, Cabinctmakcr, Saddler,
Tailor, Shoemaker, etc, you should say so
etc" And further, "If there arc Il few men
in every District willing to spend few hours
for the general good, let them meet at con-
vcnent place. let thcm gather such nforma-
tion as they and then inform this Bureau
what is wanted for their ncighborhood and
what can be done: let them say what aborcrs,
servants, mechanics, etc, are wanted or could
find employment and let them fix upon cur
rent rate Of reasonable wages for their District
etc"
1t affords nc satisfaction to be able to say,
that our prospects of success i'll this measure of
immigration, may be deemed very good; VIC
have met with irritating Inconvenience and
we have to contend against very great difficult
ties Of which our political misfortuncs and the
supincncss Of our own people arc the most i'm
portant. But the happy geographical position
OF our State, our great natural resources and
the fair and generous wclcomc. that our laws
have promised the stranger arc bcyinning to
exercise favorable influence and will ere lon.
have effective results. Our people must, how
ever, do their part no should wait for his
nciShbor, all should appreciate the duty Of con,
tributny to what is really u public necessity
and then there can be no fail.
Respectfully,
JOHN 4 WAGENER

nett weight was $50 pounds what was its
gross weight, when alive, no one can tell. 1t

rarely ever been seen.

QUALIFICATIONS OF Y oTERs- Who are Emit
tied to Vote uneler Existing Laacs at the nert INu-
n1cipuz Election?-The "Act to amend the
charter of the city of Alexandria, passed Jan
uary 25th, 1866, Section 2ad, provides,
THAT every white male citizen of this State
who shall possess the qualifications and require
aaents of voter for member Of tie Generrt
.lxnrn6h-a who shall moreover have resi-
dea in the said city one year, and in the ward
in which he offers to vote one month, next pre-
ceding the election-and none others-shall be
qualified to vote for members to serve in the
City Council of the said city, and all officers OF
The Corporation elective by the people.
BY an ordinance to alter and amend the Sd
article of the Constitution, passed February
oath, 1866, it is declared that
Every white male citizen of this common
wealth, of the age of 81 years, who has been
resident of this State for two years, and of
the county, city, or town where he offers to
vote, for twelve months next preceding an cleo
ton, who has paid all State tares assessed to
him for the preceding gear, shall be qualified to
vote for members of the General Assembly.
Under these acts it will be seen that to emit
tie any person to vote it is requisite
First that the person shall have resided
two years in the State, one year in the town,
and one month in the ward where he offers to
vote; and shall have paid all State taxes as
sessed against him for the preceding year."
We understand from Mr. Garwood, the late
Sheriff, that large number of voters have not
paid their taxes for the year 1866.
