SOcfaI Equality.

The agents of the Freedmen's Bureau
and some of the Federal military officers,
who are quartered in the Southern commu-
mites, bitterly complain that society ig-
nores and excludes them from all recogni-
ton. Only those arc excluded from the
respect and recognition of gentlemen who
uphold the infamy Of negro equality, and
these should be. If white man argues
that the negro is the equal of his own race,
let him seek and find among the negroes a
fit and congenial companionship. 1t is the
practical application of his own doctrine,
to which he cannot object, without expos
ing the mean and corrupt hypocricy of his
pretended creed. The real white people
don't believe the negroes are their equals,
though they entertain for them the kindest
feeling and always treat them with respect
and Justice. If the scalawags prefer the
Abvssinians, it merely illustrates the princi-
pie that men always rise or sink to their
proper level. .-RepubItcdn.

well known and acknowledged throughout
the State, and his name stands second only
to that of VANCE.
By the most pressing invitation, Mr..
Turner was prevailed upon to come down
on Thursday evening, and deliver an ad-
dress in Fayetteville. He was received at
night in the Fayetteville Hall by a full
house, many ladies being in attendance.
If it was possible his effort here was better
than at Egypt. Though he makes no en-
deavor to impress by oratory or figures
rhetorical, every sentence that he utters
tells. His long service in public life has
given him thorough knowledge of parties
and principles, and an intimate acquaint-
ance with public men, which knowledge
and acquaintance he uses most effectually
and searchingly. We know that the entire
audience was delighted with the Hon.
Josiah Turner.-Fayetteville Neacs, 18th.

UNFoRTUNATE.-We deeply regret to
learn that while Hon. Thos. S. Ashe, our
candidate for Governor, was at the Sails
bury Depot, on Wednesday night, to get a
ticket on the Charlotte Road, his pocket
book, containing 5000 or 500, was stolen
from him. He did not discover the loss
until he had gotten on the train and had
gone half mile, when the conductor put
him off to return to Salisbury. Every eff
fort was being made to detect the thief and
our friends had hopes of succeeding. Sew
eral suspicious persons had been noticed
for day or two about the Depot. These
facts we learn from gentleman, who left
Salisbury during Wednesday night.

Curious Proceedings ON the Wilmington
and Manchester Railroad


One of the bond-holders of the Whining
ton and Manchester Railroad, q Mr.. G. j.
W. Mccall, of Darlington, recently resort
ed to device for compelling the settle
ment of certain claims against the road,
which is not more unique than it would
have proved startling to the travelling COM
munity if he had succeeded. It appears
that the company having failed to pay sums
due on the first and second mortgages, suit
was commenced, judgment obtained, and
a receiver appointed. In accordance with
the Judgment, as we are informed, the
sheriff proceeded to sell house and lot in
Timmonsville, and four miles of the track
between Florence and the Marion ine.-
On this track there was also suit pending
in the Darlington Court, brought by the
landholders against the company, on an
appeal from the decision of the assessors.
The house and lot brought $500, and the
track netted the sum of 500, and the sher
iff sold, Notwithstanding notice that, under
military orders No. IA, he had no right to
sell property unless it brought two-thirds
of its real value.
Gen. w. W. Harllee, the solicitor of the
company, being apprised of these proceed
ings, came at once to Charleston, and on
laying the matter before Gen. Candy, that
officer promptly interfered for the protec-
tion of the road and the interests of the
travelling public. Tt is said that some of the
bondholders threaten to tear up the track
if the interest is not paid.

The following is a picture drawn by a
Northern Radical newspaper of the negro
rule in st. Domingo, after they have had
fifty years experience as rulers of about the
fairest spot of earth
The latest news from st. Domingo is that
the country is in anarchy, and the prisons
are full Of course there must be some
sort of governing force in existence to keep
the prisons full ; but this is probably about
the full extent of its powers. It is painful
to see such rich and charming part of the
world given up to ruin and savagery. 1t
is grievous to see the control of such a
country in the hands of such people. But
we see no help for it. And we may rest
satisfied that if there be any lower depths
of human degradation than that which
they have reached, it will not require them
many years to sink to it. If tie popula-
ton would resort to cannibalism, and de-
YOUR each other out of existence, it would
probably be the best thing that could
happen.

Oh gallant Heroes ye who sleep
Beneath our banner bright;
Who struggled with true bravery,
For freedom and the right
What need of marble monuments
To tell thy deeds of glory,
When every humble soldier-graye
Has proudly told the story
The fallen flag, though folded now
Never to wave again,
Is sacred still, for oh that flag
Bears not single stain.
The bloCi of our brave hero sons
Has deeper dyed its Bars
The honor of the South's as bright
AS its unsullied Stars.
And you, who meath your country's flag
Faced the dread battle-tide
Who for that country bravey fought,
And for her freedom died
The grave of every fallen son
Is now hallowed shrine
And wreaths of laurel and OF song
Ger each we proudly twine

A STORMY NIGHT.

A dismal sound of beating rain
Is heard against the window pane,
The heart of Nature throbs with woe;
Her dreary tears unceasing flow.
The naked branches toss and sigh;
No star CLEANS in the clouded sky. ..
The ghosts of buried flowers moan,
And streams reply with wailing tone.
Draw up your chair; shut out the night
Home never seemed before as bright.
We need no. care for outside gloom
Within this cheerful lighted room.
The wind may roar with gusty mirth--
a fire is blazing on the hearth. rn
What sight across my vision swept?
n sudden shiver o oer me crept.
| saw from out the embery rise,
Dim shadowy forms in ghastly guise.
A crowd OF faces, white and gaunt,
And worn, alas, with sin and want.
Their eyes gave forth a hungry glare,
And yet were hopeless with despair.
Their scanty garments thin and old,
Gould not keep out the damp and cold.
And oh they looked so pinched and blne:
The chilly storm had pierced them through
The vision vanished whar'it meant
l knew too well, and why twas sent.
In household cheer and warmth secure,
We never should forget the poor.
This lesson God would have us learn,
And part Of what lie gives return.
