ers, all freedmen, effected their escape from the
Jail of that District last week. -'i -.
public meeting will soon be called for The pur.
pose of taking into consideration the erection of
factory in .Orangeburg District.
The Nous learns that Capt. Place Of tho United
States army, is stationed in Sumter for the purpose
Of supplying oil destitute persons in that District
with rations.
The Sumter Watchnan says that the labor ques-
ton in that District remains in a very unsettled
condition. Very many planters are unable to per-
feot their planting arrangements for the present
year.
During the absence of the post commandant from
Orangeburg, the garrison behaved in an outrageous
manner, hating citizens, demanding their pistols,
&c., and firing upon those who refused to obey
their commands. Several persons werc beaten,
and others shot, though net seriously.
The Greenville Aountaineer notices the arrival Of
new FIRE engine, recently purchased by the Town
Council Of that place. The late disastrous fire in
Greenyille doubtless hastened the arrival Of this
engine. The people Of Anderson should not be
behind their neighbors in facilities for the protec-
ton of property. Why nothaye q fire company

He married in Memphis, and leaves young family

From the Greenville Enterprise, We learn that the
body Of negro girl, Is or 20 years of age, was
found in mill pond near that place. The body
MAS in barrel containing rocks for the purpose Of
sinking it. A large knife was also found in the
barrel which raised suspicion Of foul play but ne
evidence Of violence was upon the body. The YER

The Edgefeld Adv~isr says that from the
quantity Of business bsfors the District Court tn,

LOTTERY AND GIFT ENrERpR1sEs.

The numerous circulars of these swindling con-
cerns now aoat in this section, induces us to di-
rect the attention of the public to their shameless
character and villainous practices We have never
known single instance where the investment in
such affairs realized any profit to the purchaser of
tickets Indeed, we may safely assert thnt among
the thousands of trashy concerns now flooding the
country with their attractive schemes" and "ele-
CANT premiums" there is not one genuine estab-
lishment. Their existence is myth, and the So
called proprietors have no 'local habitaton." We
are almost daily in receipt Of tempting offers to
advertise these bogus concerns, but invariably
commit these Asttering propositions to the flames.
Wa ORE not desirous of lending aid Or countenance
to these swindling operations, and will not adver-
tise them even for cash in advance, at full rates.
The unEary should be ON their gard whenever
they receive printed circulars Of lotteries or gift
enterprises, The identical offer is made to thou-
sonda Of the same time, with just the same insen
sion TO- dsfraud all who are simple enoagh to be
caught with this paltry game

will be made for the comfort of the school, In
view Of the exceeding stringency of the times the
fee will be ten dollars at the end of the quarter,
or eight dollars in advance If large number be
enrolled, the fee could yet be lowered. Boys or
girls who can read the mother tongue well, and
write egibly, can successfully study Latin at ten
or twelve years of age. Large schools have their
advantages, as well as small and select. The prin-
cipal studies can be well taught to large classes

music on Piano will be taught by Mrs. C. H.

We have received liberal samples of Candy man

THE rmpEAcaMENr QUESTION.

We are so frequently asked for on opinion on
this vexed subject that it is proper to place upon
record the views entertained BY US in regard to the
movement for impeachment Of the President. We
shall do SO briefly, not desiring to intermedde with
matters which have ceased to concern the Southern
people, namely, the conduct of Radical Congress
governing the United States, wherefrom we are ex-
cluded politically.
The impeachment resolution of ASHLEY "author-
lied" the Judiciary Committee to inquire into the
expediency of charging President JOHNSON with
high crimes and misdemeanors. They were not
instructed to make this inquiry, and neither were
the particular acts of the Executive cited for their
guidance. The resolution was introduced by an
obscure and already dsgraced member, and there
fore expected only to feel the public upon this vital
question. So far, the project has met with general
disfayor throughout the North. Otherwise, the
aber and more astute leaders of the Radical party
would have seized with avidity upon the chance to
tegrity have thus for stood as q barrier against
their dastardy schemes of destruction and dsunion.
But we repeat the popular voice of the people, as
expressed by the press, discountenances the move
ment, and hence the question of impeachment
drags it's slow length along. The Judiciary Com
mittee may not report upon the resolution for
months, in the hope that the tide will set in favor
of its design to oust the President from Office: We
venture the prediction, however, that this new
..scarecrow Of the Radicals will result in simply
nothing, and that in short time no more impor-
tance will attach to its presence than now does to
the territorializing process so much talked Of at
the opening Of the session.

IyA MUppLE-Never before in California have
State politics been in SO great muddle as now.
Generally speaking everything was lovely until
the Union Stnte Convention met, but that body
bv its unwise action not only engendered disat-
fiction throughout the State, but forced it upon
the Districts also, and the result is, or will be,
that our Congressional tickets must suffer with
the State ticket. In the First Congressional Dis
,rict Convention was exhibited one of the finest
efforts at ground and lofty tumblng we have ev-
er known, while the Second District Convention
we know to have been farce and as for the
Third, that is said to have been swndle
These Conventions, thus conducted, were the
devour those who scattered the seed freely
and to feast for time on the ruins thereby cre-
ated. The workingmen Of San Francisco, who
elected the delegates to the First District Con-
vention, declare that they have been sold, and
have raised committees to find out who made the
sale how much paid and who received the
money. The Union and Democratic nominees
went before them the other night to solicit their
votes, but they could not obtain hearing, nor
would they hear anybody until the attempt is
made to ascertain who sold and who purchased.
And this is but sample of the muddle caused
all over the State by the political hucksters who
have sought by all the tricks and frauds imag-
Unable 10 get control of the Union organization.
We must return to the first principes-honesty
and fair dealing-before success can crown our
efforts The men who have wrought this ruin
must be discarded else the disaffecton will con-
Time and the ruin be still greater. We can on
" get out of the muddle by retraeing our steps
