A DisnlaY.

A military procession did honour to Gen.
Sicklcs in New York, on Friday. After the
marching, saluting, brass banding and crowd.
ing. a speech of welcome was delivered by
Gen. Sharp. To this Gen. Sickles replied.
He was not very definite, but. made the fol-
lowing incidental references to District No.2:
l shall not refer to my recent services in
The Carolinas any further than to declare
aid know my comrades here will believe my
decla-ationsl-that have obeyed all tie or
ders | have ever received, and that faithful
ly endeavoured to exercise the authority |
possessed for the Welfare of the people COM
mitted to my charge, according to the true
intent and meaning of the laws which gov
erned my action. Much remains TO be done
before our beloved country can enjoy the re-
pose and security you won for her at Gettys-
burg, and Atlanta, and Spottsy lvania, and
Winchester, and Richmond. Tie enemies
who surrendered to Grant, and Sherman, and
Sheridan, are now on their parole Of honour
to obey the laws of the land. believe their
parole will be kept whenever the government,
in all its departments, is agreed upon the duty
to be performed. The will of the people to
nut down the rebellion must be executed.
Then, and not till then, shall we have peace.
Let us have faith in the future. Now, let me
say in conclusion: Let no one take counsel of
the timid. Whoever may be tried and found
wanting, the armies of to day, the armies of
1865, the citizen soldiers of the republic, and
Grant, their invincible leader, will never fal-
ter, will never fail. rai

their curses and threats, to finish him in on
out.of tbe-way place and leave him there to
rot" These various divergences from any
thing like frequented pathway,Swas to bring
him to the numerous negro quarters. whien,
within distances varying from hundred
yards to half mile, were stretched on either
side of the main road which led to the city.
At each OF these negro quarters, Aaron COM
mauded halt. The negroes were aroused
from their sleep; lights were ordered and
the negroes assemble. Then Aaron paraded
Mr. Fraser before them, and proceeded to ex.
plain who was the white villain be had in
custody how he had ordered his arrest and
what he intended to do with him." &C., &c.
This outrage was repeated all along the route
to the city, which was not reached till three
o'clock next morniag.
Arriving in Charleston, Aaron and his guard
delivered Mr.. Fraser to the military stationed
at the Citadel At or 10 o'clock that day,
Mr. Fraser was called before the officer in
command, and was informed that be had been
illegally arrested, and was discharged. What
punishment Aaron and his fellow brutes are
to receive remains to be seen. 1t is crafty
ing to know that Aaron is under arrest by
order Of the military. Our citizens apprzed
of the occurrences above narrated, should
regard them as the beginning OF the end"
aud prepare accordingly. u.

Tax Executions.

The Spartanburg Spartan asks in forcible
terms for postponement of the tax e1ecu-
tions, and says the State debts should be
stayed, as are those Of every other creditor.
This is the article in full:
We learn from the Sumter Wafchman that
the Sheriff OF that district has received per-
cpptory instructions from the Comptroller
General to collect forthwith upon all tax exc
cutions lodged in his office, and he is thus
compelled to proceed Immediately against
all defendants. Much cost, he says may be
saved, however, by prompt attention to the
matter, and urges the parties to payment,
since there is no longer any discretion with
him. Such au order as this, at the present
moment, is an outrage on the people. We
presume that portion of the good citizens
Of Spartanburg, like those Of Sumter, have
not paid their taxes, and most Of them be-
canse they were utterly unable to get the
money. Three or four weeks hence our peo-
pile could begin to raise little money to pay
the exorbitant and cruel taxes now, with
unfeelng severity, and without mitigation
under the extreme poverty OF our people and
the unprecedented scarcity Of money, is de-
mnnded of them. What little property they
may have, perhaps small tract of land, g
mere triAe, to pay few dollars to the State.
No doubt the money is needed to pay the
expenses of the State government But why
cannot the State. as creditor, wait a little
while longer. as well as thousands and
thousands of other creditors, who have been
wait;ns for ye-rs SD senrs for deht3 j.Atiy
due. to them and for value received, which
is not always the case in the matter of taxes,
which are sometimes very foolishly and un.
justly required of the people? The Sheriff
of Sumter declares that he has no discretion
in the matter, that bis orders are peremp-
tory, consequently any rigour that may be
used in collecting the taxes cannot be charged
to the Tax Colectars nor to the Sheriff. But
We would ask. is there no dircretiou with the
Comptroller General2 Is there no one au-
thorzed to represent the State Of South Caro-
lima, to stay the hand Of the Sheriff or Tax
Collector, when one Of her acts, by rigid en-
forcement, is to break up and utterly ruin
thousands of her own citizens, and thus drive
them and their children from their humble
homes, 20 Seek mercy and shelter among
strangers:

Edeef1eId Without a Sheriff.

Edgefeld is without a Sheriff. AS is we'll
known, WA. SPIRES, Esq, tho incumbent of three
years past, resigned some months ngo. As yet
the Military authorities have appointed no ono in
his place. gdgefell is very larga District, hut

Saturday last was Return Day preceding thc
Full Term of the Court of Common Pleas and
General Sessions for Edgefeld District. There
being no Sheriff, of course no writs were issued
or served. This Court will sit ON Monday the eth
proximo. Judge ALDRIcH of Barnwoll will pre-
side. We take it for granted hut little will
be done; and fear that the upshot of this sheriff
Ices and ruldcrless condition will be the forcing
of every body into tho Military or Provost Court.

CoLonED VorERs-The Richmond Whig
pays the following compliment to the colored
voters in that city who voted on the 18th
inst, on an important question of internal
improvement:
The voting yesterday upon the question
whether Richmond should subscribe So O00,-
900 toward, the construction of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Railroad, was orderly, suffi-
GENTLY animated, and, by large majority in
the right direction. 1t was The first time that
our colored citizens have exercised the right
Of suffrage, and re accept as an suspicious
fact that their votes were cast upon q great
question of peaceful development rather than
upon tic heated and, in the main, nnProfita-
bic issues OF party politics. They cannot do
better than 10 realize at all times the fact ihai
their interests are far more connected with
the material progress and advancement of the
State, the development Of her resources, and
the unfolding of her wealth, than with the
selfish contests of politicians and parties.

The Military Stay Law.

The Greenvile No'mtaineer is i'll favour of
continuing the Military Stay law General
Orders No. l0) in force, as far as it Hpplies to
the State Courts. ltsays:
We see our worthy cotemporary of the
Charleston Courier, is inclined to rejoice in
the hope of removing Stay orders, an3 con-
sequently Of opening the hoodgates of sheriff
sales in the present horrible depression in Fl
nancial matters. Does the Courier also see
with satisfaction the probable restoration Of
arrest and imprisonment for debt? Is now
the time TO tnin the sharp edges Of tie law
upon the unfortunate debtors Of South Carroll
ma, and to deprive them utterly Of that
mercy in their wee" that almost only mer
cy from rules which the order Of General
Sickles has afforded? Shall we unchain aud
let loose the demons OF covetousness and shy.
lockism for season upon the down-t trodden
population OF South Carolina, and remand
them back to arrest and Imprisonment for the
misfortune Of debt, and yet complain Of Rad.
cal government. We maintain that the un-
STAYED operation and enforcement Of the old
debtor and creditor laws OF South Carolina
at this time, would be most mercilcss and
oppressive thing; in It's Immediate effects
more -uinous to the country then Stc7ens
mild ConJiscation.
1t is little strange that there is s, mary
men anxious TO have sheriff sales operating
in all cases, under all circumstances, utterly
opposed to any relief laws or order, Wills;
they are crying cut against conGscaGon and
disfranchiscment. They would instantly pau,
perize the great majority Of the State, and
transfer their land to strangers for misera
ble trile of costs, or little more than costs Of
the executions, for debts for the negroes that
the State and tic Uni.cd States have taken
away from the purchasers, and call it justice
and good government Tleir idea Of good
government is first to SO govern as to rob
men of the consideration upon which their
debts are founded, negroes, bank paper, bank
stocks, railroad stocks, &C., &C., and then, if
he has little land left. to take that away for
almost literally nothing, and wind up by i'm
prisoning the debtor. If the debtor has q

her from that, and will leave her and her chill.

Scenes at Antietam.

WASHINGTON, Sept. Is.
The attendance at the dedication Of the Ma
tional Cemetery at Antietam is estimated at
.urtcen thousand. The Governors of New
York, New Jer>ey, Pennsylvania, Maine,
West Virginia and Maryland were present.
Ex-Governor Bradford was orator OF the day.
The grafton concludes: Come peril to The
Constitution whence it may, from States
Rights or consolidation, let me On this ami
versary Of its adoption, in 1he rame of the
men wco made it, bythe memory OF the men
who havc died for It, upon this spot where
blood has been SO proluscly shed in its behalf,
appeal to You to protect, preserve and de-
lcnd IT,"
Just west OF Inc main stand and within the
cemetery enclosure, is a limestone rock, some
SIX feet long by two or three feet high, known
lar and wide throughout Washington county,
as Lee's rock, from the fact, it is said, that
Gen. Lee stood thereon during the fierceSt
ii.ht at Antiet. M, directing the operations of
the Confederate arny. During tbs day par
ties OF curiosity y-hunters were busily ergageH
in chipping pieces Of the rock as relics.
McC,el.an's position during the fight was
pointed out near = red farm house, in posi-
ton little less commanding than that occu
pied By Gen. Lee.
The following illustrates the harmony OF
the ceremonies:
The loud call for Governor Gesry, Of Penn
sylvania, On the conclusion of the address OF
ex-Governor Bradford, showed that many
Pennsylvanians were present, and that there
was an undercurrens of i'll feeling on some
slight, real or fancied, to their Governor, in
his name not appearing in tie programme.
The outcry for Governor Geary, for the time
being, overpowcred the calls for the President,
and prevented word of the reading Of the
poem from being heard. The brass band es,
sayed to perform piece with as little effect,
and, finally, after hurried consultation on
the stand, Governor Geary was induced to
present himself and ask that the programme
should he gone through with without inter
:uptio,.. When he subsequently spoke after
the proceedings were ended, he showed con-
siderable feeling.
The President and nembers of the Cabinet
left the stand while Gov. Geary was speaking
in order to proceed to Reedysville TO take the
train, and this proceeding was taken by some
Of the friends of the Governor 81; an inten
. tional slight.
Governor Geary thus opened his speech .
Fc!low-citizens-Aiter all you have heard
to-day, had supposed you would want moth
ing more The programme opened and con-
euded with prayer; those who have waited
must come in at the last hour, but, my friends,
we still have place in the hearts of the pco
pic (applause). When you come to Pennsyl-
vania we let every body speak-we want to
hear. Thanks to Almighty God for His pre-,
servation and care Of the country, we have
no gas-(applause) we have no programmes
FOR the purpose-(neuewed applause we
have no gag on our programmes.

A case has come up trcm General Ord's
command for revision of the proceedings of a
courl-mariial recently held in Mississippi.
The facts as proved are that Lieutenant
commanding in a town in Mississippi sent his
paramour to hotel in the place to board.
The hotel proprietor refused TO give her
room. The officer demonstrated and threat
eued, and failing to induce the hotel-keeper
to yield, sent for detachment of soldiers,
took possession of the hotel, and placed his
paramour in room. The facts were re-
ported to General Ord, and court-marlial
ordered. The Court found the Lieutenan:
guilty as charged, and sentenced him TO dis
missal from the service. General Grant ap
proves the sentence. Judge Holt recommends
abatement of the sentence, and that the ofii-
Ger be suspended one month, on the ground
that the principal witness was once in the Con-
tolerate service The President to day ap-
proved the sentence OF dismissal.
