Rain. Rain. Rain,

Fer more than week past we have boen be-
seiged by one of those fearful rainy spells that
are generally concomitant with vcrnal equino1es-
or sun crossing the equstor-or something Of that
sort. Day by day and night by night, tho rain
has poured in torrents and the wind has blown in
hurricanes. And until this mornins-uhich is
very bright aud beau.iful-the sun has not beer
able to rout the clouds; these latter have main
tanned the boldest front possible, and exhibited
the best intentions of keeping up the fall Of water
until the coming on Of DR.. CurnlSo's final catas-
trophe. The growing corn is blown seven ways
for Sunday; cotton shaken and worried; bottom
lands thicky sandcd over; gulles fearfully widen
ed and deepened and multiplied; grass triumph
snt and cxulting weeds sprightly and spruce;
farmers busy and blasph0mous; freedmen cool
and unconcerned. But the damage is not so
great as to be irremediable. Fine prospect yet

GENERAL SIcKLEs.-The distinguished oth :
Ger at the head OF the Second Military Dis
trict bids fair, says the Atlanta Intelligencer,
to become most prolific legislator, if not al.
together the wisest of his generation. The
people Of Charleston retire to their virtuous
couches Mt night fondly dreaming that on the
following morning when they rise with the lark
to greet Che purpllngs ofthe East, they will be
met with new order-and they are rarely dis
appointed. The Code Napoleon was right
smart affair, but we are apprehensive it will be
considerably dwarfed, when the Code Sickles
shall be complete ard make its appearance
in royal octave form, bound in good calf and
sheep. The tyranny exercised by this officer
over the two Carolinas, who, at one period of
his political life, melted the people of the
South to resist unto death the encroachmcnts
of the Northern Radicals, is justly exciting
the reprobation nf even Northern Republican
journals. The New York Times, comment
ing upon the extraordinary edicts recently
issued by this officer, says ne alone of all the
military governors of the South aspires to
concentrate in his own person the functions
of law-giYer and observation-disclosures, Of moral
guardian and business protector, of police
Judge and general over the people 'of North
and South Carolina. In q word, he has bold.
ly reversed the proper relations Of the civil
and military powers, and makes the latter the
eyerpresent master instead of the ever-ready
assistant of civil authority.

OBITUA AIRY.
N Memoriam;

On the evening of April 2sth,. at Graniteville,
after short an sudden illness Congestion Of tho
brain), the angel of death bore away from de-
voted family circle CAROLINE LUCINDA, Sc
coud daughter Of JouN and ELI7ApETH KNOTT.
Born Dec. 7th 1857, she had just entered upon her
tenth year; yet young as she was, by her engaging
manners, kind and sympathizing heart, and gene
raj loveliness of character, she had won for her
self the affection of all with whom she caue in
contact
Possessed Of laudable ambition to be first in
everything she undertook, she maintnined for
many months previous to her deathit frat place
in class of % at the Graniteville Academy,
where by her attention to her studies,. and her
amiable and obligiug disposition, she succeeded in
winning the love, respect and confidence Of tho
teachers, and the entire school.
Too sweet for Garth, she has been iransplanted
into the garden Of her Lord, 10 bloom in light
among the pure and spotless saints "around the
throne of Godin Heaven"
Parents, pause in your grief, and consider for
what you weep. WHAT'S your loss is her eternal
gain, for the angel who took her away from Jou,
placed her in the arms of her Saviour removed
her from life of toll and trouble, to one of eter-
nal happiness aud bliss. "God tempcrs the wind
to the sborn lamb" and placing your trust in
him, you will lind that though your present sor-
row be great, it will work out for You ga far moro
exceeding dnd eternal weight of glory" and your
little ono will be to you the beacon light to draw
you into yon haven of rest whom life'a ftful
dreams are ovor.
r. "She died to sin, she died to caros,
But for moment felt the rod;
O, mou rs, such the Lord declares,
Such are the children Of our God."

The LIBERTY GRANTED TO THE CoNfEDER'
ArEs.-Admral Semmes, editor Of the Mem
phis Bulletin, makes the following excellent
reply to Thurlow Weed, who said, in the
New York Commercial Advertiser, that he
(Sen mes) had made poor use of the liberty
accorded TO him by the Government. Admiral
Semtnes says:
"A.s for Mr.. Weeds remark, that we are
making very poor use Of the liberty which
has been granted US, &C., we have only to OBJ
serve that we arc under no obligation to the
United States for any liberty grantedus. The
liberty which we received at the surrender
of Gen. Joe Johnston, in whose army we held
command, was aquid pro quo. Itwas given
to US for consideration, and that considera-
ton was, that We would lay down our arms
that we still had in our hands. Our liberty
was the result of treaty made with the enc,
my on the field of battle. and even the saVages
observe such treaties. But the United States,
with want of faith Of which savage should
be ashamed, violated its plighted word of
honor to us, and arrested aud held US in con-
finement for three months. During our con-
6nemcnt, we demanded our release Of the
President, under our parole, and it was &C
corded to us. We are exercising the liberty
which belongs to us, because we purchased it,
and not by tolerance and as favor, as .ar.
Weed would insinuate."

Another Horrible Murder.
BAnxwsLL S. c., Joussos's T. o.,

BAnxwsLL S. c., Joussoy's T. o.,
juno 14tb, 1867.
Mr.. EDIroa,-AloM me to inform you of one
Of the most tragical murders that it is possible
to conceive of, which occurred in this vicinity on
the morning Of tho 4th Inst On tho morning
aforementioned, about 2 o'clock, man by tho
name of yAsDr BoLLEs, from orangcburg, called
ut Mr.. JAYEs JoHssox's, worthy and prominent
citizen, and fsignod to nant to remain until day j
Mr.. Johnson being we'll acquainted with him,
consented for him to stop, he (BOLLBx) having
stayed with him frequently before.
Mr.. JOHNSON told him to sleep in the room he
always slept in. He wont into his room and i'm
mediately came out, and asked for q candle. He
Was told, that the last candle had been used the
nightbeforo. BOLLEN then asked for some matches.
Mr.. JOHNSON walked back into his own room, got
the the matches, brought thou out in the entry
way, and presented to him. BoLLEN took the
matches, and ut the samo time pointed pistol mt
Mr.. JoHysos's breast, and said, Your money, or
your life." Mr.. JOHNSON told him he had NO money,
and at the same time caught the pistol, at which
considerable scufae en.ued; but BoLLEN, being
strong athletic man, managed to get possession OF
the weapon, struck Mr.. JonssoE and prostrated
him upon the floor. From the blow he rss so
stunned he did not arise Immediately. While
down BoLLEa shot him twice, both shots taking
effect, but neither of them serious. He arose at
last, and made his way for the negro houses, but
rs he went BoLLEN fred the third time, the Ball
taking effect inshe lumbar region, passing en-
tirely through his body. He lived until tho morn
ing of the 9Th and died. Said BoLLEs made his
escape and hns not been heard Of
This is most extraordinary case. In some
RESPECTS has not its equal anywhere,-I an sat-
isfcd mono in this District. A man without an
enemy in tho world, aroused from his peaceful
,luubers at the dead hour of night from his own
bed, and beneath his own rosf, and made the
victim of brutal murder, and for mere pay;
man generous and kind, loved and respected by
all.
The william commits the deed aud makes bis
escape, but he will yet atone for his crime, for
Providence hath so ordained and doth so govern
things, that those who. break tho great Law of

The Better Time Coming.

From most of the largo marts of trade. come
continued accounts of the !deolinc in the prices
of brcadsuAs. This is gratifying intelligence to
hungry humanity. Particularly :-atifying gnnnust
it be to the thousands of hungry people. in the
unfortunate South. And apropos. Of this matter {:
Fernando Wood said in Congress atho people Of
the South are too chivulrous:to want aid - Alas,
hunger bas but little chivalry, and poverty but
little pride! Famishing for bread, thousands
stretch out their hands for aid. A man once stood
in sandy desert, hungry and faint; he picked
up costly jewel, and threw it away, saying /:
s".Bah, It's only diamond; thought and hoped
it was grain of corn"
God be thanked then that the poor man islikc-
ly to get his loaf a little cheaper than formerly.
Tho Northern papers tell US that this gratifying
result il duo partly to the favorable reports Of tho
incoming crops, which promise to bc unusually
abundant, and partly to the continued arrival of
wheat from California, bOth direct and by tho
way of Liverpool. Something must be wrong,
in this great agricultural country Of ours, when
it costs the laboring man more to live in Tew
York than in Liverpool. This something wong
is not very difficult to discover. 1t is because tho
American laborcr is, to-day, taxed by :"the best
gsvernmcntthe world ever sa,w" to moro than
double the c1tcnt Of tho English laborcr. And
until this incubus of taxation is got rid of, no
man will ever be able to buy cheap loaf of
bread in America. When a man has to pay about
onc-fourth of his earnings 10 he Government, IN
the shape of direct taxes of one kind or another,
and is obliged to throw away another fourth in
consequence of the high prices brought about by
this enormous ta5ation on the part of the Gov
ernlnent, no wonder he IS unable to live. And
tho burden becomes all the. moro grievous when
he reflects that the amounts of which he is
robbed, 20 to enrich pampercd classes, to wit ::
the New England manufacturer and the nom
taxed bond holder. Unless the burdens of tho
people arc cqualizea, the people will soon begin
to throw off these burdens altogether. Il they
do not, they ought to.

Circular of General Scott,

The following circular has been issued oy
General f. X. Scott, Assistant Commissioner
of the Freedmens Bureau:
HEADERS AsiNr COMMISSIONER BUREAU
OF REFUGEES, FREEDMEN AND ABANDONED
LANDS, SOUTH CAROLINA,
CHARLESTON, S. C. June l9. 1867
Circular Letter.
The attention of officers and agents OF this
Bnrsau is hereby called to the provisions OF
Section . of the Act of Congress entitled
Ana TO continue in force and to amend
M A. establish Bureau for the relief oi
Freed .u,n and Refugees, and for other pur'
poses"
and agents Of the Bureau to use, judiclously,
every means at their disposal for disSemina'
ting such information among the freedmen
as will enable them, and as far as possible IN
duce them, to avail themselves of all rights
and privileges conferred upon them by the
late Act of Congress, entitled an Act to pro-
ride for the more efficient government OF the
rebel Statesn and the Act supplementary
thereto.
The exercise of the privilege, as well as du
ty. of registration by all freedmen properly
qualified is of the first importance.
Officers of the Bureau will, therefore, at
all times advise and encourage such registra-
ton. For this purpose the various assem-
blsges Of the freedmen should be taken ad-
vantage Of; but, it is especially cautioned that
such meetings be not encouraged, except at
such time and places as will not materially
interfere with the labors Of the people and
the cultivation of the crops.
The efforts Of designing persons, on the
one part, to impede the registration of the
freedmen, as we'll as of such, as, by iJudi-
cious advice, would raise unwarrantable ex
pectations on their part Of future assistance
from the Government, thereby encouraging
;dleness aud neglect. of the crops, will be
thwuted as fur as possible by personal iniiu-
ence and counsel.
1t is hoped By the Assistant Commissioner
that all good citizens will see the Importance
of the freed people being properly informed
upon all subjects relating to their enfranchi'e
ment, and will join with the officers aud
agents Of this Bureau in giving such intor-
nation and advising such action US will ena'
BILE this State at the earliest day to resume its
former status in the General Government.

A Little variety.--ss Throwing up the
Sponge.''

Murders, robberies, arsons, rales, scductions
Opponents, &C., &C., ud infni,un, are so common
in this glorious American land" the homo of the
free"-tbat the accounts have cloyed upon the
rudcst tastes and the criminal news is turned
from as stale and revolving. Bat, in the very nick
of time, we have little variety in the shape of
Priz. Fight-a grand, regularly organized prize
fight, to decide the championship of the "light
weights" of America. What SO vile and stupid
This big and brutal affair came of on Thursday
the 18th inst, at simms' Point, on AcquiG; Creek,
branch of the Potomac, some fifty miles below
Washington. The combatants were Samuel Col
lycr of Baltimore, and Barney Aaron of New
York. fight between these worthless had taken
place in the same vicinity in May 1856, in which,
after hotly contested battle OF two hours, Colycr
was declared the winner. The adhcren:s of Aaron
not being satisfied another fight, for $1,000, WAS
gotten up between the two men. This is the ele-
vated and heroic contest which came off on the
18th. Steamers, heavily freighted with spccta-
tors, arrived at the Poutin due season from Wash
ington, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Norfolk.
Large delegations from Now York, Boston, and
other Northern cities were also present. The
crowd numbered upwards of 5000 men. OF these
$500 found seats upon wooden benches raised for
the purpose. The "prixc ring" was an enclosure
twenty-four feet square. The excitement va.
tremendous. Forty newspaper reporters were bu-
silly engaged in taking notes. Bets of from SlOO
to $500 were wcro freely offered and taken. The
champion, fought in the hottest most furious, and
most barbarous manner, through 81 rounds, last
ing over two hours and half Theupshot of the
matter we quote from an admiring Northern paper
"At length, in the 81 round, both the pugilists,
after cinchiug fell at tho ropes, COllycr with the
cry of Oh, my God =" wrung from him.
The gladiators wcrc carried to o.their respective
stations, and before time called for, the Sec
ond, of Collyer threw up the sponge" the tech
nical term Of defeat"
1t is e,tiuated that upwards Of 100000 have
changed hand, on this aght, which, it is under
stood will be repeated at an early day the back
crs of Collyer not being satisfied with the result
On this next occasion it is to be earnestly hoped
that the two champions will kill each other, ar d
thatthe benchc, will fall and kill the last spectator.
