GEN. HANCOCK,s NOBLE ORDER

The following General Orders" were issued
by Gen. Hancock, Nov. Doth, ON his assuming
command Of the Military Department Of Lou.
isiana and Texas. After expressing his pur-
pose and desire to maintain peace and quiet in
his Department, he snys:
As means to this great end. he regards the
maintenance OF the civil authorities in the
faithful execution Of the laws as tho most eff
cient, under existing circumstances.
In war it is indispensable to rcpel force By
force. and overthrow and destroy opposition to
lawful authority. But when insurrcctionary
force has been overthrown, aud peace cstab.
lished, and the civil authorities are ready and
willing ~ perform their duties, the military
power should cease to lead, and the civil ad-
lninistration resume its natural and rightful
dominion. Solemnly impressed with these
views, the General announces that the great
principles of American liberty stiil are the
lawful inheritance of this people, aud ever
should be-. The right Of trial by jury, the ha-
beas corpus, the liberty OF the press. the free
dom of speech. and the natural rights of per-
sons and the rights OF property must be pre-
served. eF tslfH
Free institutions, while they are essential to
the prosperity and happiness of the people, al
ways furnish the strongest inducements to or
der and peace. Crimes and otfences commit
ted in this district must be referred to the con.
sideraton and Judgment of tn. regular civil
tribunals and those tribunals will be support
ed in their lawful considerations.
Should there be violations ut existing laws
which are not inquired into by the civil mag.
istratcs, or should failures in the adninistra-
ton Of Justice by the courts be complained Of,
the cases will be reported to these headquar-
tiers, when such orders win be- made as may
be- deemed necessary.
While the General thus indicates his purpose
to respect the liberties of the people, he WISH.
~ all to understand that armed Instruction
or foic ible resistance to the law will be in.
stantly suppressed by arms. u @@<fEFe

Drainage and its Eject.

To the Editors Of the Daily Ne1os:
It is with pleasure and satisfaction We learn
that the City Council Of Charleston have COM
menced system of drainage, which, il carried
out as it should be, must greatly benefit the gen.
eral health of the city. Itappears that present
the work being done is merely on the surface.
This will do much good; but that which is re-
quired for thorough drainage OF the Land, Is
by deep drains 10 allow the stagnant water,
which is always more or less in the land, to
drain, by which the surplus water can be run
off Immediately, and the land made dry and
consequently healthy. Let it be known and
understood that Charleston is healthy city,
foreign immigration must and soon will follow.
With taxable population OF 100000 or more
inhabitants, the credit of the city would not
long remain below par. Draining the land
thoroughly, not only in the city but every part
and parcel OF Charleston Neck-that section
would soon become thickly settled with o
thriving population, and, in comparatively
short time, the present city bounds will be too
limited.
Garry Out the same idea, and thoroughly
drain the whole of the low country Of the State
Of South Carolina, and make the same healthy.
1t will not require prophet to predict the con-
sequences which must follow. With climate
so mild and pleasant, land 80 fertile and low
priced, products 80 various and valuable, the
whole low country could very soon become per-
feet garden spot, and filed with the right kind Of
industrious inhabitants, such as will make any
country strong, prosperous, happy, and desir-
able to occupy.

TIE AMBRos1A1 ASHLEY AaAN.-Mr. Ashley,
M. c., delivered another Of his series of elocu-
tionary thunder-storms at the Citadel Green
yesterday. Unfortunately for himself, there
was an exceedingly uncomplimentary attend
ance of only one or two hundred colored men
: and boys. His sweetness, therefore, was ut
terly swasted on the desert air." MIR. Ashley
was hoarse, very hoarse, so hoarse that he
could not be heard ten feet from the platform,
but he compensated for the deficiency By noint-
ing in the most vigorous and miscellaneous
manner at 'the flag, proclaiming at the same
time, with as much righteousness as his pull
monary viscerai would allow, that "without the
flag and the party, the country would go to the
devil" This was the sum and substance Of
his speech. He ran his hand through the ton
.sorial hair oil with as much energy as at any
time within the last fifteen years, but he was
like an empty bombshen. Ashley is no lon
ger immortal They laid him to rest in Wash
ington some time ago, and South Carolina ne
sroes were perfectly satisfied on Monday night
that it would be useless to resurrect him. So
many better speeches are made every day in
1.-The week by intelligent men Of their own race
than those Of Impeacher Ashley, that he will
depart hence like shadow ''and leave no trace
behind"

The ELECTIoN-ITs INCIDENTS, &c.-Elther
the prohibitory order Of the military, causing
a general closing of the bar-rooms, or the
spirit of peace. which is Characteristic Of
Charleston, yesterday induced the voters OF
all classes, colors and previous conditions, to
go quietly to the polls, deposit their tickets
and withdraw. Although the polls we're Kept
open for an unusual length of time, there
was 10 disturbance; and beyond Slight
crowding in the upper wards, where the voters
are numerous, the election did not appear
to excite much attention. The 'blue ticket
was decidedly the favorite, and the Union
Leaguers sustained their candidates In fuil
force. A few of the colored voters, however,
remained true to the community in which they
vera born and bred, and voted the small white
ticket bearing the words against Constltu-
tion." In some cases the Republican voter
ssscratchedn the names on their party ticket
and substituted others. In the lower wards
the name Of Ephraim Blake, well known
colored man of this city, was extensively SUD-
stituted for that of C. G. Bowen, the Radical
nominee for Congress. and large NUMBER
voted the improved ticket. Bets were reely
offered on Ephraim, and this incident caused
some merriment and excitement.
Every effort had been apparently made By
the managers and the board of registration to
have the election conducted fairly; but az
several of the polls the managers were entire
ly too oficious in taking tickets from the hands
Of voters and depositing them in the ballot
boxes. Every voter has legal rightto de-
posit his own ballot, and though the managers
plead orders from headquarters, they are
undoubtedly wrong. 1t was only in the polls
OF Ward No. 4, the Hope and Stonewau engine
houses, that these breaches Of decofum oc-
Cured; but we trust that it was mistake
which will soon be rectifed.
The day passed off more quietly than has
been the case in former elections; there was
but little crowding, and though the voter was
compelled in a few instances to wait his turn,
it was done without complaint.
The following was the number of votes cast
yesterday at the different polls. The total result
and class Of the voters will not be known until
