OFFICE OF THE TOWN COUNCIL,
NEwBERRY S. C. April 22d, 1867.


Mcssrs. J. r. Lcavcl', f. ?. Lake and
James Gauntt have consented to act as a
committee for the distribution of any corn
or other provisions which may be given by
charitable strangers TO relieve the destitute
within the corporate limits or immediate
vicinity.
They have also kindly conScntedt to receive
and distribute, III like manner, any con-
tributions which the charitable Of our own
people may feel able to spare from their
limited supplies. There is in our midst all
amount Of suffering destitution, the extent
of which is concealed by the silent PATIENCE
with which it is borne. 1t is hoped that
garden and other early crops, will soon give
some relief, but for the present there is
suffering for bread except where relieved
by charity.
Contributions are earnestly solicited, to be
applied by the Committee Of Relief.
JAMES II. BAXTER,
Intendant.

a Chance for Fame.

The Mobile Advertiser very justly re-
marks that the position of power held
by the District Commanders opens a
field of noble ambition to a truly wise
and good man. Without departing one
lot or little from the strictest letter Of his
orders, it is in his power to build up
and leave behind him in the hearts Of
the people and in the future history OF
these times reSplendant monument to

LOCAL ITEMS.

TEMPERANCE NEETING-The meeting last
Friday night was most interesting. The
hall WAS thronged with the assembled
beauty, and intelligence of the community.
Rev. Mr.. Micklcs' address was master
piece of logic, repIete with matter german
to the subject, aud happily rendered in his
peculiarly earnest and impressive style Of
delivery. He was followed by Mr.. Henry
Wingard, young thcologian Of the New
berry Lutheran College, whose remarks were
generally we'll conceived and given. Mr.
W. bids fair in short while, (should he be
spared to cultivate little Of the graces Of
dicton,) to make capital speaker. He
has conquered half the battle-he has coh-
fidence. Next Friday night, D. v, at the
usual hour, an address may be expected by
Rev. Mr. Zcaly. In this connection, and
in behalf Of the Society, a cordial invitation
is extended to all to be present on that

sion seemed to be almost universal that
there would bo no quorum in either
House on the Sd of July next. TIE feel

the intelligence from the South promis-

1t will not pay. We started on the cash
system with the beginning of the year,
but suffered not few TO overcome our
determination On the strength of prom

will do 50 no longer. Those indebted for

and all subscriptions as they expire, will
be discontinued, unless renewed after

Stay o. Suits and Executions, &;c.-Genepal
Orders No. 10.

In this weeks issue we publish General
Orders No 10, Of the commanding General
of this District, embracing North and South
Carolina. This is just and timely measure
It will secure 10 the people what was denied
70 then2 by judicial construction and Legis>
!ativc iraction. The eXigency Of the times
demanded just such q measure Of relief.
The conduct Of creditors, since the Courts
have been opened, has 0ccu such as to de-
serve the stern rebukc which this order gives
them, and to require their oppressive hands
TO be stayed by competent authority. To
have permitted them to proceed as they have
begun, would have been, in the language of
the order, "to sacrifice the general good. "
It is melancholy fact that, in every cons
munity, there are to be found persons, whose
hearts Of stone arc affected By no appeal Of
even want and suffering, where it conflicts
with their greed Of gold. We invite the
special attention of all such TO the terms of
this order, that they may learn what it seems
their Bibles have never taught them, little
compassion, little forbearancc, towards
their poor, distressed neighborS. The strong
arm Of power, it is hoped, will indoctrinatc
them on certain points which their cate>
chisms have failed to instill into their minds!
These Orders are wise emauations,
yet, like all papers Of this class, so difficult
of absolute completeness. It is clearly seen
that the military commander appreciates the
sad cn~dition of our people, and wishes to
rel we them, as far as he can, from burdens
that press to the wall. And when the law
begins to operate, we respectfully submit
that the General may discover that it weighs
heavily upon Administrators, who cannot
take action upon the assets Of estates in
their hands, while Iegatees, distributes ard
minors can proceed against them, or we have
misread or misunderstood the order. Upon
the whole, however, it gives satisfaction. Sim>
pie justice may not be altogether pleased
with it, but mercy is delighted, for it leans
to mcrcy'S side! The debtor class, (much
the larger) helplessly made so by the trc>
mendous issues of the day deserve the Dcne-
! fit of doubts, always. Gen. SicklcS discovers
our wrctched condition, and his sympathieS
are aroused. The first official act Of one in
vested with almost absolute power is that of
humanity.
Let us take heart, and "rise from the slough
Of despond" if we have fallen there; recupc-
rate our wasted energies; live economically
divide our little earnings between the simple
and frugal wants of our fam lilies and the just
claims of our creditors; love mercy, deal JUST
ly, and look 10 the mighty @siS of Omnip.
otcncc, alone, for that illumination Of mind
which shall carry US safely through impend-
ing gloom.
