GEN. SICKLEs DIRECTED TO RESCISD HI:
ORDER PROHIBITING CoRPoREAL PUNISHMENT
We find the following in the Washington
Chronicle of the 20th instant:
The North Carolina Commissioners had :
long interview with President Johnson yes
tcrday, who communicated to them his decis
ion, both in regard to the order Of Genera
Sicklcs and to the interference Of the officer:
of the Freedmen's Bureau, i'll annulling arti
cles of indenture in numerous cases whcrt
colored children had bcen bound out.
On both points the President decided tina
the officers were in error in interfering. Sec
retary Stanton issued instructions to Genera
Sickles directing him to recnd his orders
prohibiting the execution of judicial order;
inllcting corporeal punishment. These in,
structions were delivered to Governor Worth
10 be handed to Gen. Sickles.
General Howard also issued and delivered
to Governor Worth orders to his subordinate
officers to cease any interference with the
laws of North Carolina, where they bear
equally upon the whites and blacks.
Judge Ruffin explained fully to Gen. How
ard the character of the law for binding out
children. If orphans arc without any prop
erty for their support, they are bound out ty
order Of the court. but children having par
eats living cannot be apprenticed except by
the parents themselves. With this explana
tion, Gen. Howard dill not hesitate to issue
the orders desired by the North Carolina com.
missioners, who left last evening for home.

WHAT CONGRESS WILL Do-The New
York Times, from which We have taken occs
sion to quote upon several occasions recently,
alludes TO the tone and temper Of Congress,
aud expresses the opinion that when it meets
again, the business of legislation will be car
ried on with more reference to tho interest
of the country. 1t says:
On the other question of national scope
that of Southern recoustruct'on-Cong
has acted more discreetly than wax anticipa.
ted. There is no hope Of the Violent schemes
of til. ra,radicals-schemes Of comiisca-
ton, disfranchisement and degradation. The
amendment is still held out to toc South; and
even if it be finally rejected, We have reason
to look TOR other plans that will deal fairly
with our Southern ir..ow.citizens as part OF
the American people.
Congress will have bat eight weeks to wor;

We shall look for it pursuing and compl' ting

REVOLUTIONARY LegisIation.

Speaking of the rumored design to super
sede the State Government Of Maryland, the
Augusta Chronicle d Sentinel very properly
remarks:
We cahnot prevent this revolutionary leg
islotion We have no voice in the halls OF
Congress. to w=rn the people OF the United
States against the rash and suicidal policy Of
those who are now in the majority at Wash.
ington. We have no deeper interest in this
question than have all and each OF the States
of the Union. If Congress can to-day st o
single blow strike out of existence the ten
Southern States, it may with equal right and
proprlety hlot out at some future time the
smaller and less powerful of the Eastern and
Middle States.
The pretence set up now to justify this In
famous outrage upon the Southern States
that the Federal Government is bound by the
Constitution to insure to each Of the State:
Republican forms of government, may bc
used with quite as much force at any limc
against the Northern States which may i;.i ti
conform their legislation TO the standard srl
up for them by the dominant pnw>r at Wash
ingtun. This plan of :" leirtnriallziny" til,

"And Thanks, And Ever Thanks"


And if over good tarn deserved eternal thanks,
it is the one our ncighbors did US on Wednesday
night last. On that night fire broke out in the
kitchen attaoncd to the residence of Mrs. ELIZA
BACON, and the oldest inhabitant of Edgefeld
wss upon the point Of being left without n roof
over her head that roof which has sheltered our
own unworthy hand ever since VIC made our entry
upon the stnge Of this world. But tho providence
OF God and the b7avc and untiring efforts of
friends aud neighbors avertcd the calamity. The
said kitchen is heap Of ashes. But the ancient
mansion remain, intact, save TINT its eastern side
is mach bli.sercd, md scanned with tric,;ling
rosin. And its IN cicrt mistress and I'll her house
hold return their most grateful thanks to those
warm.h hearted and strong armed ncighbors. And
not to wh,o alone, but also, md equally, to col
orcd L, was sccno which proved how much
good there is among the Freedmen, and how true
they arc to former associations. Their conduct
on the occasion was most noble and honest. We
shall strive mover to forget it. Of nil the fI2s-
turc and articles dragged from the dwelling house,
nothing, however small, was found missing on the
morning after the hrc.
And, although she will scold us for doing so
thus publicly, wo insist upon expressing our graf
itudo to the ver-gencrous neighbor uho would
not allow us to rcalizo tho losE Of the ovens and
cook pots.

At meeting of this Company held at the
Charleston Hotel Thursday evening, (snys the
Charleston Courier, of the 2oth,) $4,000 was
subscribed towards the increased capital of the
Company, leaving 100000 yet to be taken up,
for which amount the books will be opened on
tho 1st January, 1867.
The money thus fur paid out on grounds, build
ings, works and machinery is about $36O,OOO.
The buildings are nearly finished and it is cx-
pcctcd that should the balance Of stock be taken
up early, tho mills will be in full successful opc-
ration by the 1st May. The gentlemen at the
head of this enterprise are among our most sub
stanti,l citizens, of the highest character and
efficiency. They have, unde. the superintendent
of their indcfatigabc President Col. 3. T. Evans
nearly completed their grand undertaking, and
only require now IN available fund to NEE. the
expenses and contingencies that may arise in the
carrying on OF the factory on its opening.
The opportunity is row offered to thosc icsrOus
of investing.in this important work. From The
strong inducements aud hnttcring prospects Of
handsome remuneration held out to capitalists VIC
may expect to SEQ the whole subscription soon
taken up.

= M. Bertheney made the following speech to
the. President: Mr.. President, have the
honor to place i1,your hands the letters which
accredit mein4 the quality of Envoy Extraor-
binary aud Minister Plenipotentiary OF his
Majesty the Emperor of the French. In
confding. to inedhe missionto represent him
near you, my sovereign has specially charged
me to make known to you the value be at
taches to the relations of friendship which
exist between France and the United States
of America, to ri.,intain these relations-to
draw them more close, if it be possible, in
view sof the development of interests, COM
mon to the two countries. Such will be the
constant aim of my efforts, and ,haye, firm
hope to- -attainsit If, as i am in advance as
sured, the government and people of the Uni

to this place the sincerese1pression.

most profound, and the most enduring senti-
ments of. the people and government Of the

oommon.aimin tie advancement of civilization
and humanity throughout the world. In. ex
pressing these feelings, L am only repeating
what;has been uniformly said by the United

no consideration or courtesy will be withheld,
which shall tend to make the performance Of
your duties agreeable and pleasant The re-
