After giving the source from which
the facts were ascertained, and the pre-

ingly public disturbance, but if it is
desired by tie negroes or negroites in
Charleston, to have row, they can
have it, and good one. The white
men of Charleston are not all dead; and,
although they avoid collision, if vio-

negroes, the responsibility of the con-

If it is the intention Of the military
authorities, as we have not a doubt it
is, to protect civil rights, and to guard
the peace of the community at every

In any event. we have but to say
that The Charleston Mercury will pur-

The Convention


Within the week past, there, has
been little done by the Great-Ringed-
Streaked-and-striped. Resolutions, al
mostinnumerable have been introduced,
but as they are Of little, Importance, we
shall devote the space they would
occupy to matters Of more general in
terest. As was to have been expected,
they have excluded the Editors Of the
Mercwy from seats in the august as
semblage. ...
The pay Of the members was fixed
at eleven dollars per day, and the ord
nance Ievying taxes for their payment
was passed to its third reading. The
tax, in addition to that already levied
by Gen. CANDY, is as follows :-"7 -
cents on every 500 of real estate, Is
cents on every 500 of manufactured
articles, so cents on every 500 buggies,

Resolved, That this Convention take
such action as it may in its wisdom
deem compatible with its powers, and
conducive to the public W al, to expunge
forever from the vocabulary of South
Carolina, the epithets NEGRO, niger,
Yankee" as used in an opprobious
sense.
Resolved, That the exigencies and
improved civilization of the times de-
mand that this Convention, or the le.
gislative body created by it, enact such
laws as will make it penal offence to
use tho above epithets in the manner
described against an American citizen
of this State, and to punish the insult
by fine or improvement.
On Friday $4,000 were received from
Columbia, for pay Of the members,

vote of 96 to 49,.

AN APT ILLUsTRATIoN.-In re-
cent speech, the eloquent Hon. Dam
iel w. Voorhees, made the following
apt illustration God made the
eagle and the owl. He gave to both
plumage and wings. In the same
class Of large birds of the air ranged
He them! The same atmosphere
and the various seasons were common
to both. God created the Caucasian,
and African. With brain, muscle
and nerve endowed He them. With
blood and soul and the erect posture
they are distinguishable as members,
of general family. There was for
both the same earth to yield its til,
lage; the same sunshine and rains;
the same seas upon which to spread
commerce; the same elements for
science to extract benefits for man,
As the eagle to the owl, so the white
man to the black, stand in the same
relative positions as they were found,
in the twilight history, I.et the eagle
but attempt to take the owl to its
cyries and its habits, and both fall to
the earth together. Let the white
man assume to make the negro his
equal, and the vain effort to erase tho

RELIEF FROM THE FREEDMEN's
.BUREAU.-Brevet Major General R.
K. Scott yesterday received the fol-
lowing important letter from Gener-
al 0. 0. Howard, Chiefof the Freed
mems Bureau. 1t will be read with
great interest:
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9th, 1868.
'GENERAL:--Yonr circular of JAN
uary 18th, 1868 is received. The only
thing l fear is, that an impression
may get abroad that a greater amount
of supplies are to be furnished than
the funds / am able to devote to the
relief of destitution will warrant.
With the understanding that there
are but three States where there is
IL LIKELIHOOD Of famine, South Caro-
lima, owing to providential causes,
has u larger number of destitutcs
than any other State, I have allotted
a larger proportion Of funds to South
Carolina than to any other. Yet the
amount, even for South Carolina is
small.
In addition, VIC have desiccated
vegetables and desiccatcd potatoes,
which may be so used as to remove
the possibility of starvation,
These supplies must be used in
such way. that the sums expended
will be secure, and be returned to the
fund from which they came. To this
end, take liens upon realty and the
growing crops and personal property
of the recipient.
You will find it necessary to be
exceedingly careful that men who
have or can get means do not step in
before those who are really in need.
The whole subject is stated in your
last clause, "thcse supplies are only
intended by the Government to relieve
extreme cases of destitution. y
Supplies must not, however, be
furnished in a way to promote idle
ness. l fear the charities of last
year from benevolent associations,
and to some extent from the Bureau,
in some localities, have had this ten
dency. Your experience in the past
will enable you to take methods
to avoid this difficulty the coming
year, so that you may never aid peo-
pie who are not honestly and indus
triously engaged in securing for
themselves a competency.

servant,

New SEEDING STRAWBERRY "PREsIDENT
WlLDER."-In the September number of
the american Journal Of Horticulture the
publishers announce that they have pur-
chased of Col. Wilder the entire stock Of
his new Seeding Strawberry, which they
propose to offer subscribers Of 1869, giving
each two plants. The we'll known repu-
tation of Col. Wilder, and the fact that he
would not allow his name to be associated
with anything but the best, will make the
demand for 'The President Wilder Straw
berry" very large and as it can be had
only by subscribing for the American
journal of Horticulture, We advise our
readers to send in their names early, SO
that they may secure the plants. Speci-
men copies Of the "Jouraar' may ssbe seen
ut this Office.

CAUGHT TAaTAR.-Col. VIM. Smyth,
being over persuaded, sent challenge to
Van Bennett the other day, while he was
It Cedar Rapids, to which Van promptly
responded. The discussion came off in
the court house, at Marion, in Smyth's
own town, and resulted most gloriously in
the Democratic cause. Smyth took the
broad radical ground in favor of funding
the national debt, and paying it all in
gold, against taxing the bonds to help pay
the National debt, thus combining the pay
ment Of the whole debt to the laboring
and producing classes-in favor If the
prohibitory laws of this state. and decid-
eddy in favor of niger suffrage. 1t will
he seen by this that Mr.. Smyth takes the
whole grounds for radicalism. According
to all accounts there never was worse
used up man than was Smyth in this dis
cussion, so badly that he was repudiated
by the people of his own town, in radical
Linn, "the banner county of the State. !"
After the two candidates had plainly stated
their positions, Mr.. Bennett called for a
vote of the audience in favor of and against
the platforms, and NOT ONE VOTE res
ponded to Smyth's proposition, while the
whole house rose en-massc in favor OF tn e
popular Seymour and Blair doctrine, ONE
CURRENCY FOR ALL, and for taxing
alike, the bond-holder and the laborer.
The people are on our side this time sure.
Mr.. Smyth can never carry that doctrine
through this district and live politically
and we opine that it will be a long time
before he will challenge Van Bennett
again.

ent mother to have sons and daughters
growing up around them, and feel that

so common, drunkenness comes to be

But our correspondent writes as follows !:
DEAR TINES will you, or some of your
able writer's. do me and society in general
the pleasure to make some comments and
warning on the subject Of the growing
habitual intcmperance among our young
men?
l have just returned from a months
travel with my young people, and am
really shocked at the progress this vice is
making among the young men who seem
to think no enjoyment can take place
without stimulants.
naturally wish my children to make
acquaintance among their own country

ing the perpetual invitations to drink.
Do, Mr.. Editor, enlarge as you know
how on this subject. | wish my girls to
marry American men, but is it not beyond
contradiction that they are becoming a
nation of drunkards?
TO this communication we have only to
add our regret that the ovcr-indulgence in
strong drink is so common, and to deplore
that the influence of the temperance folk
has been so completely annihilated by its
admixture with partisan politics and its
unwise disposition to coerce men instead
Of relying upon moral suasion. The mo-
ment that Temperance" went into politics
it threw away all chance of success, and
the moment its advotes abandoned persua-
ton for force (as in the ''Main Liquor law
they began to make drunkards not dim
mish sheir number. prohibition has
manufactured more inebriates in month
than Temperance could rescue in a year.
The result is apparent. Drunkenness is
far more common now than it ever was
before in this country-and all through
the treachery of those leading advocates
who have been far. more anxious to ride
into political position on their hobby than
to save their fellow men from destruction.
