EXODUS OF THE FREEDMEN.

SUMPTER, S. c., Jan. 9, 1e67.-Thcre is a
perfect exodus of the freedmen from this
country. They are collected in camps along
the line of the railroad, waiting for the
trains which are to bear them away, perhaps
forever, from the homes of their childhood
and the graves of their fathers. They 90
under government supervision, with the
promise of free transportation and six
months rations. They are mostly bound for
the Land of Flowers" where colonies are
being established, and where they will occu-
Ply the position of independent communi-
ties, under the military protection of the
United States.
That they leave reluctantly is evident
But the contract system of the past year was
productive of every species of fraud, injus-
-tice. and wrong; and after year of toll and
endurance, the freedman found himself at its
close without money, provisions, blankets or
shoes, and without home. Mass meetings
were held and efforts made to induce the
planters to consent to more liberal terms for
the current year; but the planters would
neither do this, nor rent them land to plant
for themselves. Hence this wholesale emf
grafton, which will remove some of the best
labor from this State, and leave large area
OF land uncultivated. Those planters who
have exhibited a willingness to allow proper
remuneration for services rendered, have Sc
cured all the employees they require, and
proper effort would have retained the en-
tire population. But tie course pursued to-
ward the freedmen has been fatal blunder,
and will be realized as such when too late.

"GO 1T ALONE"
BIZ JOHN q. SAKE

There's game much in fashion, I think it's called
eucher,
Though I've never played il for pleasure or lucre,
In which, Wien the cards are in certain conditions
The players appear to have changed their positions
And one OF them cries in a confident tone,
think might venture to 90 1t alone"
While watch ng the game, tits whim of the bard's
A moral to d-aw from the skirmish in cards,
And fancy he finds in the trivial strife
Some excellent hints for the battle of life,
Where whether the prize be ribbon or throne,
The winner $ he who can "Go it alonel"
When great ialileo proclaimed that the world
In regular orbit was ceaselessy whirled.
And got-no; a convert for all Of his pains,
But only dersien, and prison and chains
" 1t moves, FIR ali that" was his answering tone,
For he knew like the earth he could go it alone!"
When Keple, with intellect piercing afar,
Discovered tie laws of each planet and star,
And doctors who ought To have Landed his name,
Derided his harning and blackened his fame,
81 can watt he replied, "ti the truth you shall
own"
For he felt i, his heart he could "go it alone!"
Alas for the layer who idly depends
In the struggle of life, upon kindred and friends.
Whatevertb value of blessings like these,
They can ne,er atone for ingorious ease, -...
Nor comfort the coward who finds with groan
That his crutehes have left him to Ego it alonel"
There i, ,semething, no doubt in the hand you may
hold:
lealth, family. culture, wit, beauty and gold;
The unfortunate owner may fairly regard,
As each in Its way most excellent card
Yet the game may be lost with all these for your own
Unless you've the courage to "go 1t alone!"
In battle or business, whatever the game,
In law or in love it is ever the same.
IN the struggle for power or scramble for pell,
Let this be your motto-"Rely on yourself!"
For whether the prize be a ribbon OF throne,
The victor is he who can go it alone!"

PoPE's DAILY LIFE.-The Pope leads a
most regular life. He gets up every morn
ing at six o'clock, when he celebrates a
mass; after Office he reads his breviary.
next hears mass celebrated by one of his
domestic chaplains, after which he takes a
light breakfast. All these duties bring
him to eight o'clock, when he goes into
his study and grants audiences. The
number of people seeking audiences is
sometimes very great, especially about the
more solemn festivals of the Church, when
throngs are attracted to st. Peters from
all parts of the world. At these season $
the pressure upon him is so great he is OBJ
liged to receive five or six hundred togeth-
er. They are placed in large hall of the
Vatican, ard his holiness walks in front
of the whole line, and says some kind

down the whole lint ..-4--.4or of carmo.
nies forms them into half circle aronno
the Pope who addresses paternal exhor.
tation to them, and sends them away with
his blessing. At ten o'clock the Ministers
begin to work with him, Cardinal Anto-
nelli having the precedence, the others
following in turn. These conferences last
until half-past eleven, when the Pope again
grants audiences for an hour and half
After lunch he reads his breviary. Then
he walks in the gardens of the Vatican or
rides in his carriage until o'clock, when
again grants audiences for four hours. AT
nine o'clock he sups at ten his prayers
and he goes to bed.

MAKING GARDENs.-Ast the time for max
ing gardens is rapidly approaching, few
words of advice to those contemplating
work of this nature may not be inappro-
pirate. 1t is an acknowledged fact, we be-
lieve, among gardeners, the seeds expected
to grow should be placed in the ground
As a rule, this method is generally regard
ed as eminently sound. Corn, before
planting should not be boiled. 1t is mis-
taken idea that seed maize par-boiled will
produce cooked roasting ears. Radishes
and peppergrass should be planted in hills
four feet apart. Potatoes should be sown
broadcast. Pumpkins are said to yield
better when the entire vegetable is dropped
in the hill. Cotton seed Gown in sheep
pasture will result in an excellent quality
Of cotton-hannel. Pink eye potatoes are
SO named from the redness of their optics.
The Neshannock potato is the invention Of
a Sioux Indian, and is named after the
patentee. Had we room we might contin-
ue our remarks indefinitely. Want of
space, however, must be our excuse

ing Clara for dashing promenade. Ah,

anxious fear, "speak once more, my darling

and the infiction of heavy penalties, pecu-
mary and personal, in all cases where
adulteration is detected. Is it not shame
that the common poisoner and the dealer
in pure preparation should only be held
to the same accountability by the authori-
ties? And yet this is the case under the
present liquor laws?
There are many forms of diffusive stim-
uli used by the medical profession, and the
great object of the trustworthy physician
is to obtain them unmixed with
any deleterious article. Is it just, is it
fair, is it for the greatest good Of the
greatest number that the law should place
thess valuable medicines on q par with
"fghting rum?' What sort of legislation
is that which makes no distinction between
a health giving tonic and Alternative and
life-consuming bane? Truly, both Con-
gress and our State Legislatures have
much to learn upon this important sub
ject, and the sooner they begin to profit by
the palpable lessons of the hour, the bet
ter it will be for the moral and physical
health of the people. Under the present
contradictory, incongruous and short sight
ed general and State laws affecting the
liquor question, Intemperance, with all its
horrible consequences, is as sure to in
crease and multiply as the sun is to gener-
ate miasma from swamp, or flame to
grow tiercer ly feeding it with turpentine.
The subject s,too broad to be discussed in
a single article. and will be taken up again
in these columns. with view to throw
more light upon it, Temperance in all
things is a noble motto, and it is sad
fact that the zealots in good cause are
sometimes very intemperate. &"

"THE DEVIL RIGHr."-A prosy lay
of the church rose in meeting and
said:
''My friends, the devil and l have been
fighting for more than twenty minutes
He told me not to speak tonight, but l de-
termined that I would. He said that some
of the rest could speak better than I, but
still felt that could not keep silent
He even whispered that spoke too often,
and that nobody wanted to hear me but

now l have gained the victory, must tell
you all that is in my heart.'' Then fol-

The Ne,c York Gazette has the following
about the family that owned the Lindell
House, st. Louis: "Not quite year ago
Mr.. Henry Ames died in St. Paul, Mime
sofa, of paralysis. He left the hotel to
his only son, lad of some ten or twelve
years, while his wife and daughter were
each provided with handsome fortunes
Many of the young ladies of this city will
remember Miss Ames, who was educated
at one of our fashionable uptown board
ing-schools in lS62-3-4. Mr.. Ames accu-
mulated his vast wealth by filling large
government contracts during the war, he
being engaged in the pork packing busi-
ness. He was in company with his bro
ther, Mr.. Edgar Ames, who still carries
on the business. Mrs. Edgar Ames is
said to be the finest looking woman in St.
Louis. The loss of the hotel, although
serious one, does not impoverish the fam
ily."

], In his political sermon, last Sunday,
Henry Ward Beecher referred to the "cor-
ruptions of politics, the fagrant venality
of legislation" as one Of the perilous evils
of the times. Said he:
The men at Washington and Albany
sold their country they sold their human
ity and their honor, and the trusts that
were put upon them by their constituents.
They were debauchers of the young; they
were traitors; they that lifted the sword
were not half so much traitors; they that
despoiled the old banner and trod it under
foot; they that fred upon the government
of the United States were not so much
traitors as were those vermin who were
crawling under the vital power of the gov
ernment.

A cotemporary tells the following joke
at the expense Of one of the female teach
ers of a neighboring city:
The lady was announcing to her pupils
the holiday on the 22d, and asking them
some questions concerning its observations
and among others, why the birthday of
Washington should be celebrated more
than any one else. "Why," she added,
"more than mine? You may tell me-" she
added to little fellow, eager to explain,
and who evidently had but one idea in his
childish brain associated with the name of
Washington. Because" he exclaimed
with great vivacity, "because he never
told lie."

From the Milwaukee Wisconsin.

An April Fool.
A very interesting little episode in real
life has Just been developed, after remain
ing dormant for several days. Quite
number of our citizens, on the lst of April,
received very tastily put up note written
in pretty hand, and on scented paper
As all these are alike, there is no harm in
giving copy of them, and here it is:
"MILwAUKEE, March 81, 1867.
"Mr. r.-: l have repeatedly met you
in society, but, as yet, have had no intro
duction, an honor l have earnestly longed.
l concluded, if you were willing, to make
an acquaintance formed in this way; that
! would ASK YOU tO De at Or near Tunis'
book store, on Wisconsin street, tomorrow
afternoon about 44 p. m. l will wear
little blue ribbon about my neck, tied be-
hind, and have a roll of music in my hand.
This is not strictly in accordance with the
laws of etiquette, but concluded to do
away with any such formalities, and to
trust to your honor to hold this commune
cation strictly confidential. Hoping to see
you at the appointed time, remain,

bon-roll of music, and connected all this
with "devilish foine fom," sweet face
and charming smile, and perfect admi-
ration for somebody's taste in selecting
them to be the recipient of such favors.
1t is said by those in the secret, that al
the hour of 4:3O drew near there was some
thing of an excitement on Wisconsin St.
A well-known lumberman might have been
seen promenading up and and down,
well-known lawyer might have been seen
peering into Tunis' window, dry goods
gentleman might have been seen standing
on the corner opposite casting fugitive
glances over the way. An exquisite in
surance man, dandy bank cashier, and
number of well-known ''lady killers" Of
various vocations, also might have been
seen in the vicinity, oil anxiously looking
for blue ribbon and a roll Of music
There were many incidents connected with
nation to notice. Somebody after waiting
something like an hour and seeing many
of his friends in the vicinity ''smelled
something" and the deluded gentlemen
found they had been considerably sold out.
They went home, we trust wiser men, and
hope will not be caught in so foolish
trap again, and that they will keep the
little scented notes that tell of a blue rib
bon and roll of music from their wives
eye-sight.
