RAISING THE STEAMER NAsHvMLE.-We nouce
in the Savannah Republican that contract mas
been awarded by the Navy Department to Captain
BURNELL for raising the steamer NdshoMe. Inc
Nashua!e will be remembered as one OF the oid
Charleston and New York line Of steamers. She
was the only one of that line retainedby the South

MEETING OF FREEDMEN AT MAYEsvrLLE, SUMTER
D1srR1cT.-On the 18th large number OF reed-
men from Salem and the vicinity, assembled at Inc
Mayesville Depot, and were addressed by several
speakers. The meeting was entirely devoid OF any
Radical sentiment, but was conducted In conser-
vative spirit. The speakers we're well received, anu
their remarks were sound, practical, and fuh OF
good advice. One OF them, MIR. ABRAHAM RUFFIN,
stated that he thought frequent meetings OF the
freedmen at the present time, with mutlphcity
of speakers could effect no good purpose, as 1t Dut
tended to confuse and distract the minds OF his peo
pie. They needed good wholesome teaching, I'M
parted by those competent to teach them In regard
to their rights and duties And especially were these
meetings unfortunate at this vitality important
period to the crops. Every hour lost from the
field at this time was loss to the individual and
misfortune to the country.
Boards PATENT COTTON TE.-Since the appli-
| cation of iron as substitute for rope in balng
cotton, number Of ties have been invented
which unite the ends of the hook and bind the
bale firmly. While each inventor claims some Pc
crlliar advantages resulting from the use OF his
tie, they are all improvements on the discarded
rope. The 'Beard Tie" has been strongly recon-
mended to the public for several reasons, princi-
pally because it is the most convenient and the
easiest to use of any iron tie, and equal to any
other in strength and security. This iron tie Is IN
one piece, and is secured upon the cotton bale IN
an instant, and with one motion. An examination
Of this tic proves that it is in every respect what
the inventors state, and is an invaluable auxiliary
to the planter, enabling him to secure his cotton
bales without difficulty, and by q few moments
| work. Messrs. GEo. W. WILLIAMS q Co. are the
agents for this tie, and will be pleased to take Or
ders either from the trade or from planters.
| Mayors CoURT.-An unusual stiffness has pre-
vailed in the Court for the past few days; the de-
hnquents have been few and far between, and the
revenues Of the Court have suffered accordingly.
A few negro boys who had evidently been
reading sacred history, and thought themselves
young Dayids commenced slinging bricks against
some imaginary Goliath. This performance was
MT considered to be in the code Of civilized war
fare, and the beIigerents we're promptly jugged
They murmured somewhat at this treatment, but
The Radamanthus was inexorable, and they have
received lesson that will be beneficial to them
selves and 10 the public. e -
One of the colored chivalry who evidently
thought that he was the right man in the right
place, persisted in keeping his iposition on the
gangway OF wharf to the discontinue Of several
parties who wished to visit the premises. Re-
monstrance proving futile, he was hurried away
and enriched the City exchequer by donation
