THE NEGROES IN THE INTERIoR.-A gentle
man from the vicinity Of Fort Motto yester-
day, gave ID some interesting particulars
about the state of, affairs in that section. He
said that very few of the freedmen were dis
posed to enter into contracts; some few are
willing ''to hire" but have an aversion to the
term contract" They say the league forbids
them to make any contract. They are willing,
however, 70 rent land, expecting that upon the
meeting Of the convention they would get their
"forty acres" One gentleman proposed to
contract with his laborers for another year.
They told him they would not work for him.
"Then you must leave here, as want these
houses for such hands rs may engage" One
of the freedmen then stepped forward, and
said: eve amt gwino to leave, and no odder
niegers comm here" "Who told you that you
could stay here2" ga white man tole us
we must stay here, and must not lot any odders
cum here" The negroes are vagabondlzing
all around the country, somo with shot guns,
but mostly with muskets, which they buy OF
the merchants at three dollars piece. Hogs,
pigs and swine of every description have dis
appeared from the face of that part of the
earth-as much as the mammoth and the me-
galonyx. Mich COWS, even, are in daily danger
of their lives, and ere many months, our in-
formant predicts, cattle will be as scarce up
there as hogs. Tho farmers in that part of the
State, he says, have barely corn enough to last
them till April, and where they are to get the
meals to purchase the necessary supplies after
that period, he could not see. Such planters
as have engaged labor, have generally hired at
stipulated price, the laborer to find his own
subsistence This, indeed, seems necessary,
Us the farmer, in many cases, cannot command
tho means to procure these supplies.

age by reading the advertisement which ap-
pears in our columns from MIR. 81. T. Peters,
who has opened an Office at No. 80 Hasel-street
for the disposal OF tickets in some Of the fairest
and most equitable lottery schemes in the
country. This gentleman, who believes that
there are large numbers in every community
who will, under every disadvantage, encourage
this form of securing competency, has To-
bored zealously to get our State to place the
business on footing which would relieve the
public OF certain amount Of taxation by
yielding State revenue, and at the same time
place the business in position Of much fair
ness; and the agencies which he has now Sc
cured he hstters himself will give the people
the best opportunity OF drawing prize. The
principles on which the drawing will take
place are set forth in the advertisement, and
such of the public as are anxious to try their
fortune will undoubtedly be placed in the BEST
position to secure prize by applying to MIR.

NORTHERN CAPITALISTS COMING SouTH.-The
depreciation in the price of lands throughout
the South has induced O number of Northern
capitalists to invest in this species Of property,
and much of the planting during the coming
season will be conducted by Northern men.
The sea islands on the coast present an allur-
ing field for such investments, and companies
have already been formed to cultivate these
rich lands Among other companies that are
spoken of is one to be headed by James Gordon
Bennett, Jr. Mr.. Bennett is associated with
some capitalists from Philadelphia, and designs
to plant on somo Of tho islands near the city.
The company are prepared to try the planting
experiment, and will purchase most of their
stock and farming materials in this city, pre-
suming that the prices will be lower than ut
the North.

A VENERABLE DTvINE.-Rev. John Bachman
DID,, pastor Of the English Lutheran Churcl
Of this city, completed the ffty-third year o
his ministry in that church yesterday, and de
ivered an appropriate discourse from the words
'sLet us call to mind the days of the past.
The sermon was historical retrospect, refer
ring chiefly to the past ministerial services o.
the preacher. The church was crowded botE
morning and evening with an attentive au-
dience, many of whom had grown up under
the teachings of = venerable pastor. Not
withstapding h.s weis.lt of years, DR.. Bachman
is an active minister of the gospel, and his
anniversary sermon evinced the same clearness
and ability that has always distinguished his
discourses. DR.. Bachman was born at Rhine
beck, in the State of New York, in 1880, of an
old colonial family. His paternal ancestor, a
Swiss gentleman, came to America as private
Secretary to William Penn. BE was ordained
to the ministry in 1912, and called to the church
in Charleston in 1916 For time preached in
wooden building in the rear of the present
church, which was not erected until 1917. he
WAS then in the habit of preaching sermon in
the German language once every month, but
this practice has been discontinued for some
time.
We have heard DR.. Bachman say, that the
Dutch or Hollandish, then much spoken in the
State Of New York, was the language of his early
youth, and that he had arrived at the years OF
manhood before he commenced the study OF
German. We cannot withhold our admiration
therefore at the thorough mastery he 30 soon
obtained over this difficult language, enabling
him to speak it with facility, and to preach
even to an intelligent audience.
Of DR.. Bachmans scientific attainments this
is not the proper place to speak. For years he
has been known throughout the world of let
ters as distinguished naturalist and his pen
has been diligent in the cultivation of this vast
and interesting field. His cooperation with the
lamented Audubon in the preparation of the
Quadrupeds of North America, secured him q
multiplicity of learned titles from every civil
ized country on the globe. His monograph on
the Unity of the Human Race was written in
the interest of science and revelation, and is
worth reproduction in these days Of Ariel
mania.
Among the male members Of DR.. Bachmans
congregation who had the pleasure of listening
to his anniversary discourse, was one who was
the first that had received the rite OF confrma-
ton at his hands, and with the exception Of an
aged female member now absent from the city,
is the oldest member of his flock. There are
few ministers of the Gospel who have arrived
at ripper age than DR.. Bachman. He has con-
tinued in the service Of one church longer than
any other, and with the exception OF Rev. DIR.
Hanckel, has been connected with the ministry
a greater number of years tlian any other in
the city.
