W. BEVERLY NAsE.-h colored sister writes to
FoHsEY and pitches into BEVERLY as follows:
Beverly Nash is dead dog; he has proved him
Northern friends skulkers and Northern dena-
gogues; promised TO worry Congress until the
rebels are enfranchised. Oh, my Godl I could
denounce him ss traitor; want you to keep his
name ever in your mind, and If he ever dares to
Gnt Cross y9ur m R Rath keep him at distance BE is
Hayer OF his race I send you paper with his
speech; tell me what you think Of it. Congress
knows what We need, and can do better for us down
South than all we could tell OF ask, would do.
DO think, il. Congress disfranchise the whites
ana give the power to my race-n they-the
rebels-neyer get it until ask it Of Congress-.
they would be without it until dooms-day. Let
the name of Beverly Nash be az q pestlence to
yous and WARN oIhers Of him for my sake and for
South Carolina" 5 'S7f

RErURa DAY.-Last Saturday was return 6ay for
this district. From an examination Of the Clerks
books, It seems that something over thousand
cases have been returned including acceptances
and confessions. Many Of tho cases are small pro-
cessee, suits brought by administrators and execn
tors, and suits brought for litigation by consent
On Old notes ioT negroes. The return though large
1s not SO great as anticipated y many, and is not
the largest return over MAJ the district: there
having been larger, we le. at former term Of
the Court. Those cases, it is presumed, will not
chow any exceedingly large amount of indebted
mesa by the time Of Judgment and verdict, as a
heavy pairing down and scaling process must,nn-
doubtedly take place before that time.
