"A rumor is going the rounds of the press, te

his steel. Indians used to be considered adopts In

Sherman, they will be forced to acknowledge them

the humane and thorough system OF tactics which
he sdopted in this State, he will soon starve out

to effect an insurance upon their wigwams, and

The North Carolina Legislature has just
nassed kind of compromise stay-law tor the ben

the collection of all judgments and executions OBJ

upon payment at that time, of one-tenth OF the
debt and interest, all process for the collection OF
the balance is suspended until 1869. A North

succeeds in doing this, he has further respite OF

THE NEW TARIFF BILL.

The Tariff Bill, which recently passed the Sen
ate and was sent back to the House for concurrence
in amendments Of the Senate, is exciting some in
dignation among New York papers. AS meas
ure almost exclusively intended to benefit North
ern manufacturers, it will act as burden upon all
other classes The principal articles of foreign
manufacture in common use are taxed so heavily,
that their importation will not pay, unless sold at
higher prices than similar goods from Yankee fac
tories. In this way, the whole people are forced
to buy what they need from good 'loyap' Radicals,
and thus to sustain, at public expense, the very
men who are doing all they can to bring the coun-
try to ruin. There is limit to human endurance,
and that limit is more speedily reached by attacks
on the pocket than by any other means. If this
bill passes the House and receives the President
assent its practical workings will be used by the
Conservative party with powerful effect against the
Radicals, and it may finally cause their overthrow
As long as the Jacobins confne their expressions
to the South, the people of the North can afford
to smile their consent, with an occasional murmur
of pity or disapprobation. But when Congress
ventures to apply the screws to themselves, it is
treading on dangerous ground, and may expect a
fierce resistance. The Western States are the chill
dren of New England, imbued with New England
ideas and ready to fight their mothers battles, as
was proved in the late war, when ten Western men
could be found in the Northern army to one ''Down
Easter" But, though ready to take up arms at
the command of Massachusetts,, they have too
much of the same love of the dollar, to pay cent
for her benefit; nor will they submit to such a
grab as this bill, which the New York World calls
"a bill to blockade our own ports

THE COLUMBIA SEMINARY.

The war has done the South many serious In
iuries, from the effects of which she must long
suffer. But in no class of losses, has the damage
sustained been so severe and so difficult to retrieve,
as in those which fell upon our seminaries of clas-
sical and religious learning. Many of these have
sunk under the calamities incident to war and the
savage vandalism practised by our late enemies. -
Of those which survived the storm, only few are
left to us uninjured, while the most OF them live
on in badly crippled condition.
AS an instance in point the Southern Presbyte-
rsan informs us that the Theological Seminary Of
the Presbyterian Church, at Columbia, has totally
lost $4,000 of its investments This Seminary,
was once abundantly endowed by the bequests Of
its friends, and was sefsustaining institution.
It is now but the wreck ofits former SELF and must
be sustained by the contributions Of those who do
not wish to see it die In its own denomination,
the Columbia Seminary has been power tor good
second to none so far as its influence extended
The Presbyterian church of the South is indebt-
ed to it, for the education Of some OF her noblest
and most honored ministers, many OF whom look
back with affection to the season spent within its
walls. It should be the fixed determination OF the
entire denomination to sustain this institution at
whatever cost. The Synod Of South Carolina has
adopted resolutions, requiring every minister to
bring before his congregation the condition Of the
Seminary, and urge upon them the duty Of con,
ributing to its support, either in money or pro-
visions. Those who desire to assist in maintaining
this institution 80 indispensable to the welfare Of
the Presbyterian church, can forward their contri
buttons to DR.. HOWE, at Columbia.

MARRIAGES AND DEATHS.

We have recently received several notices of mar
riages and deaths which we have not published,
for the reason that the announcements were not &C

known to us. We solicit notices of marriages or
deaths when they occur, and will publish them gra
tuitously bat in every case they must be aecompa-

the notice is not desired for publication, but as an

QUE FARMERS AT WORK.

To Judge from appearances, our farmers are 60
ing to do something this year, if blessed with "a
vorable seasons. The work of preparing the soil
for the crops has fairly begun. In every direction,
the plows can be seen in motion, and many neces-
sary but heretofore neglected repairs have been
completed. The fences, in particular, have been
wholly or partly reconstructed by the introduc-
ton of new rails, and present amore formidable
opposition than they have hitherto presented to the
invasions of enterprising stray horses and long
shouted swine of the piney-woods ge,,us In fact,
the fences have received more repairs within the
last two months than in three or four years past.
1t affords us pleasure to notice these signs of ava
kening energy on the part of our people, satisfied
as we are that the only way for them to throw off
their present burdens is to 90 to work.

DUB CHURCHES,

This town certainly enjoys high share of favor,
in the religious privileges provided for it. Few
places of its size and population, can claim fairer
share of ministerial talent and better or more nu
merous places Of religious worship ALI that is
needed is the spirit to receive and appreciate
the bountiful feast as it is handed to us.
The Methodists worship In spacious and COM
Portable edifee, and have recently secured the ser
vices Of that pious and able divine, the Rev. w.
T. CAPERs This church is always filed, and its
congregation well entertained.
The pastorate of the Episcopal Church is filed
by the Rev. j. ]. SANS, whose name as pious
shepherd and unerring leaderof his flock, is known
elsewhere as well as here.
The Presbyterian Church, recently under the
charge of Rev. M. D. WooD, has obtained the
consent of Rev. HENRY R. DICKSON to FIJI its
pulpit for the present year. The choice has fallen
upon worthy disciple of the gospel, and the
church is highly favored in securing his services
The Rev. TnMAN R. GAINES has been labor
ing with unostentatious piety and christian zeal,
to build up church here in the interests of the
Baptist denomination. His efforts, thus far, have
met with encouragement and althoug not yet pro-
vided with church building of their own, the
congregation meets regularly for worship and the
church is rapidly increasing in numbers and in
Auence.
The Associate Reformed Church is spacious and
pleasantly located; and has been for some time
under the control of Rev. ROBERT LATHAM, min
lister whose walk is a fitting guide for his fold
All the churches we believe have Sabbath Schools
attached but this an-important feature Of reli.
gous education we fear, is not sufficiently estima-
ted by many who form part of some of these con-
gregations. The Sabbath School, as a coordinate
branch of the church, should be equally sustained
and its influence on the young mind is too impor-
tant for the hours thus employed, to pass unirn-
proved. May our illusions to this matter be re-
ceived in good part by our local readers

COL. C.. C.. TEW.

A report has been in circulation for some time
that Col. G. C. Tew, Of the Hillsboro IN. c. Mil
itary Academy, who it was supposed was killed at
Sharpsburg, has turned up at the Dry Tortugas-
prisoner for life, under an assumed name. The
Goldsboro Nesos says:
"We have taken some pains to ascertain the
facts relative to the incarceration of COL Tew in
the Dry Tortugas, and we are satisfied that he is
there, but not known by that cognomen. He is
employed in the axe department, We shall not re-
late other circumstances connected with his incar-
ceration, satisfied as we are, that steps will be ta-
ken to restore him to his family"
The Wilmington Dispatch, referring to the mat
ter, says:
''We have heretofore refained from giving pub
icty to this report because convinced of its utter
fality, but other papers have spread it far and
wide, we reproduce II merely to remark upon its
improbability. Mr.. Rose, of Wilson County was
on duty on the skirmish line at Sharpsburg and
Col Tew, having gone out to reconnoitre the enc
my, had taken position behind a tree within
few feet Of him. They were conversing together
when Minnie ball struck Col Tew in the fore
head and he fell back lifeless without uttering
sound The enemy advancing in line of battle, the
skirmishers fell back and the body was never re-
covered: Subsequently, a prisoner from the Sec
ond regiment saw Col Tew's sword in the hands
Of Federal who had taken it from his body."

The New York Erpress Is responsible 1or
the following statement, which is interesting and
important, if true.
0The Jews in Bombay have been greatly excited
by the publication of a pamphlet by their pontitt
entitled THE Voice of the Vigilunt. The object OF
the pamphlet is to persuade the Jews that it is
useless to wait any longer for the promised Messiah,
as it was Jesus Christ himself, whowas made known
in the New Testament"
The New York World says that the night
workers of New York city, number in the various
trades and callings nearly sixty-fve thousand:
'It is as if one city went to sleep, and another
busy stirring city went to work. so that from sun
rise to sunset, and from sunset to sunrise, again.
labor in the city never ceases 10 contribute to
the comfort of the nine hundred thousand who
sleep o'nights, it is positive necessity that nearly
one hundred thousand, or one.tenth OF the popu-
lation, should be hard at work.
Printers, butchers, bakers, milkmen, market
men, car-drivers, hackmen, ferymen, &C., &C.,
make up the multitude Of nocturnal workers.
AT the last session of the Legislature ofSouth
Carolina, the subjoined edresolutions, which are ofn
terest to the Commissioners Of the Poor and OF

Resolved, By the Senate and House Of Repre-

sembly the aggregate number Of miles Of public
roads in their respective Districts, and the num-
her of inhabitants liable to work thereon; also the

within twenty days from the adjournment of the
Court of Common Pleas, at its Fall Term, to for
