The Famine in South Carolina.


| The Southern Famine Relief Commission,
of which Mr. James N. Brown, 81 Wall
street, is Treasurer, have received many
letters from South Carolina, all of which
agree in representing the scarcity of pro-
visions in that State as being of the most
serious character 1t extends over nearly
the whole State, and unless relief be given
nothing can prevent absolute starvation
among the poorer classes, while large
number Of the planters and farmers will be
left without seed for the next crop.
Governor Orr writes that the destitute n
is SO great and severe that five hundred
Thousand bushels Of corn estimated to
be needed to feed the people over and
above all that is obtained within the State
Colonel William Nettles, a gentleman Of
high standing in Sumter District, has been
III this city with bond signed by about
seventy-ive planters, in which they pledge
their next cotton crop as security for about
forty thousand dollars worth of corn and
bacon. He could find no one to take his
bond, and has left the city, after obtaining
two thousand bushels Of corn from the
Commissioner for the relief of the very
poor of his district saying, that unless he
could find some persons III some other city
to make the necessary advances, he did not
see how it would be possible for the plant
ers of Sumter District to put in their seed
the present season.
A similar statement comes from the
most prominent men in Lancaster District
of the same State, who offer to mortgage
their real estate as security for the corn
and bacon needed to supply the wants of
the people until another harvest can be
gathered in.
Representations of the same character
come from Richland, Greenville, Darling
! ton and Greenwood Districts and it is be-
lieved that at least one hundred thousand
people, one quarter of the population OF
the whole State of South Carolina, are now
in absolute need of provisions, and, If re-
lief is not given, the number must increase
every week until July.

An ImDortant Case,

In the United States Supreme Court a
suit has been commenced by the State of
Texas against George w. White, John
Childs and others. The bill in the case
sets forth that in January, 1865, the Rebel
government of the State of Texas made
contract with White and Childs, agreeing
to deliver them certain United States Tex
as indemnity bonds, to the amount of seve-
raj hundred thousand dollars, which the
Rebel government found in the Treasury
of Texas, in consideration of White and
Childs furnishing to the Rebels munitions
Of war for the purpose of prosecuting the
rebellion against the United States. White
and Childs still hold a large number of
these bonds, but have disposed of some of
them to other parties after maturity, and
the holders now demand the payment of
the bonds at the Treasury of the United
States. The bill is filled for enjoining the
holders from receiving payment and obtain
ing decree ordering the present holders
to deliver them to the present government
of Texas
The bill alleges that the bonds were in
possession of the State of Texas until 1861,
and at that time they were seized and ta-
ken by certain unlawful combinations of
individuals in armed hostility to the Gov
ernment of the United States, which COM
bination seized the archives, treasury and
property of the State of Texas and assumed
to use and dispose of its property for the
purpose of subverting the legitimate Gov
ernment of the State of Texas and for the
purpose of carrying on war against the
Government of the United States and in
the execution of this purpose these bonds
were given by this unlawful combination of
men to the defendant, White and Childs.
The legitimate government of the State,
now re-estabished under the Constitution
Of tho United States, is seeking to recover
the property thus forcibly seized by the
armed combination. Leave was granted
to file this bill and an order was entered
setting the hearing of the motion for in
junction for the I'd Monday in May. This
case brings up the direct questions wheth-
er Texas is State or not and whether
property seized by the armed forces of the
rebellion and belonging to the States of
the South can be recovered back by them.

whites, and gives universal suffrage to the
ignorant blacks, thus overriding the pro-
vision that each State shall determine who
shall be entitled to its suffrage. 1t also
nullifies the constitutional amendments, by
practically declaring the existing govern

their adoption Of the amendments must be

TODAY AND TOMORROW.

High hopes, that burn like stars sublime,
Go down the skies of Freedom
And true hearts perish in the time
We bitterliost need 'em;
But never sit we down and say,
'There' g nothing left but SORROW
We walk the Wilderness to-day
The Promised Land tomorrow.
Our birds of song are silent now
There are no flowers blooming;
But life burns in the frozen bOugh,
And Freedoms spring is coming;
And Freedoms tide comes up always,
Though we may strand in sorrow,
And our good battle-ground to-day,
Shall float again tomorrow!
Through all the long, drear night Of years,
The peoples cry ascended,
And earth is wet with blood and tears,
Ere our meek suffering's ended
The Few shall not forever sway,
The Many toll in sorrow;
The bars of He'll are strong to-day,
But Christ shall rise tomorrow.
Though hearts brood DER the past, our eyes
With smiling futures glisten
Lo! now the day bursts up the skies
Lean out your souls and listen
The world rolls Freedoms radiant way,
And ripens with our sorrow;
Keep heart who bears the cross to-day
Shall wear the crown tomorrow!
Oh, Youth flame earnest still aspire
With energies immortal;
To many a heaven of desire
Our yearning opes portal;
And though Age wearies by the way,
And hearts break in the furrow,
We'll SOW the golden grain to-day
The harvest comes tomorrow
Build up heroic lives, and all
Be like the sheathen sabre,
Ready to flash out at Gods command
OH Chivalry of Labor!
Triumph and toll are twns-and aye
Joy suns the clouds of sorrow
And tits the martyrdom to-day
Brings Victory tomorrow.

Forthcoming VetO-The Military Govern
ment, Tenure of Civil Office and Army
BiIl-Impeachment mt Report SC.

Bul-ImpeaChmentR Report, &c.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27-The President at
late hour tonight was engaged in the pre-
paration of his veto message upon the mill
tary government reconstruction bill and it
will be sent to Congress beyond doubt
tomorrow. The message will be quite
lengthy and principally devoted to legal
features of the bill. The tone of the mes
sage is firm and respectful
It is also probable that the veto of the
tenure of Office bill will be sent to Congress
tomorrow. In this case, besides objecting
to the House amendment including men,
bers of Cabinet in the category of other
federal officers the President objects to the
bill because it makes the tenure of other
officers durin good behavior or for life.
The section in the army bill which pro-
vides that the headquarters of the general
shall not be removed from Washington,
that all orders shall emanate from the gen.
eral, &c, is regarded as unconstitutional,
and there is no doubt that that bill will be
vetoed on these grounds
Mr.. Defrees, the newly elected superin-
tendent of public printing, will enter upon
the discharge of his official duties on Fri
day, the 1st March.
The House Judiciary committee have in
timated that they will make partial re-
port on the impeachment investigation this
week, and suggest conclusion of the re-
port the next session. This report is ex-
pected on Saturday next DATE.

10000 Persons have Insured i'm the
ETNA LIFE INSURANCE co.
OF HARTFORD, CONN,
And others are Daily Applying.


And others Daily Applying.
TIME principle of LIFE INSURANCE has
become so well demonstrated, that it Is hardly
necessary at this day to go into argument in it's
support Every individual who has family or
dear ones dependent upon his existence is in fact,
overlooking, if not violating, one OF the most I'M
pOrtant duties of life in not guarding them against
want and protecting them from poverty, should
death deprive them of his support and assistance.
On an INSURANCE POLICY, procured at small
premium, requisite sum is secured in case of
death to provide them with subsistence through
life. Securing such policy not only makes life
pass more pleasantly, but will bring to the death
bed the happy consolation that your wife and child
rem will not be left destitute, or to THE COLD
CHEERLESS SYMPATHY OF AN UNCHARITA-
BILE WORLD. To those whose good impulses are
moved to this accomplishment for their family's
future protection,
THE ETNA LIFE INSURANCE co.
is most cordially recommended for the carrying
out of these desires. The Company has been in
existence for FORTY EIGHT years, and now, with q
Capital of over $4.5OO,OOO 90
stands as one Of the solid monetary institutions of
the nation and offers positively the best induce
ments for LIFE INSURANCE in the world.
Over five hundred risks have been taken in the
last twelve months upon the most influential citi-
zens of North Carolina. Out of this number four
have died, making $4,000 in cash paid
over promptly to survivors and but for this fore
thought and ACTION not one dollar would have
bereavcd loved ones. After the End year
80 per cent Dividends is paid to Policy
holders every year during Life,
and at death the Policy is paid to survivors.
Risks ages from IA to 65 years are taken for
a term Ofyears or the WHOLE TERM OF LIFE
on amounts from $1,000 to $4,000, and the rates
are regulated according to age. THIS PROVI-
SION CANNOT BE TAKEN FOR DEBT, BUT
GOES TO THE FAMILY OR OTHER DEPEND
ENTS FOR THEIR SPECIAL USE AND SUP
PORT. Nothing can possibly be gained by delay
in this duty and much may be lost. OF two cour
ses, one of which may leave your family or depend
ent friends destitute, and the other ASSURES
them comfortable support at your decease can
there be doubt which is to be chosen? Every
one knows that if the pressure of the times bears
hard upon a in the fulness of his strength, it
Will be far more severe upon woman and child
rem left at S Hch con juncture this without
sources or protector, and it is easier for to
pay his premium than for his family to live with
out his aid and without means.
For further information call on the Agent who
now extends the invitation to every one, rich and
poor, to avail himself of the advantages offered
by one of the LARGEST, SAFEST, BEST, CHEAP
EST AND MOST POPULAR AND RELIABLE
COMPANIES IN THE WORLD.

THE TRUE TALES OF CHIVALRY.*

In his ancestral castle,
With stately turrets crowned.
Where banners foated haughtily,
Ger walls that grimly frowned-
Within a spacious chamber
A wounded warrior lay.
The bravest of the knights that led
In Pampeluna's fray.
Ill-brooked that restless spirit
Thus inGOlent, to lie
And watch the weary hours pass
In slow succession by,
While golden dreams of glory
TrOoped ever through his brain,
And Fancy led new legiOns forth
Upon her phantom plain.
Ho! bring the volumes olden,
The tales of weird romance,
That boast of dauntless chivalry,
And skill of magic lance"
And forth to do his bidding,
The willing vassals leap
They search the grim old castle,
From tower to donjOn keep,
And yet-(and much they marveG
They find no musty store
Of tales of knightly prowess,
The quaint chivalric lore,
They bring, from dust and silence,
One volume, worn and old
But it's no legend fanciful
Of knighthood proud and bold,
No science of joust ansitourney,
No pomp of pageants gay,
No CHASTITY rhymes of goblin grim,
No tale of greenwood fay.
He turns the pages listlessly,
The pages of old and quaint,
That tel the simple history
Of many hero saint.
But 10! his languid glances
Are waxing eager now
A flush spreads DER his pallid cheek,
And manties on his brow.
Well may that volume olden
Enkindle his proud eye
The noble deeds he readeth there
Are registered on high
And well the truth-inspired scribe
In simple language paints
The prowess of those knights of God,
His self-subduing saints.
Der that ancestral castle
His banners f1aunt no more,
And rusting lies the cleaning lance
Its master p1 1oudly bore.
He leads nobler chivalry,
A brighter, braver host
His name becomes the Christians joy,
The Church's proudest boast,
On Heavens deathless tablet,
Lo! angel hands record
Another soldier of the Lamb,
A servant of their Lord
And earth from farthest regions,
In tongues of every land,
Still halls with glad united voice,
IOvOla's sacred band. MARIE
