luton of 1876. and was materially descended from
the family of the Heywards- heyward, Jr.,
the signer Of the Declaration OF independence De-
ing maternal erandf ,ther.
Colonel HAMILTON studied at tho University OF
Virginia and Satriculated in medicine at the Medf-
cal College of Charleston. He never praciced now
ever but In early life married and becIme planter
Shortly prior to the Re received the appontm ent
OF United States Marshal for the District OF Soutn
Carolina aud during his term Of Office he was pune-
ed In all the troubles and trials OF the " ne
SLAYER "Echo" His very firm and decided course
on this occasion gained him the resper OF every
one
Descended as he was from such revolutionary an
cest1y, it is easy to imagine that he was warm ad
vocate of secession and sincere and ardent believer
in the right of our cause He at once entered the
army, and was appointed Major Of the First South
Carolina Regiment, Colonel Ma1cy Gregg comm and
ing. Upon the promotion Of that gallant ohcer he
became Colonel of the n. .iment Colonel Hamilton

our own citizens for the benefit of other

our own citizans for the benefit of other
States.
What are the benefits accruing to the State
and city to-day from aid given to railroads?
So far they have, with the exception of the
South Carolina Railroad aud the Northeastern
Railroad, actually taken business out Of the
State; and some OF our roads are this day dis
eliminating against our city and the citizens
of the State along their lines. am informed
that il citizen of Chester wants to send his
cotton to Charleston, he has TO pay 81 S5 per
bale for sixty miles 10 Columbia; while o citi-
zen OF Columbia, who wishes TO send his cotton
to Norfolk, can send it over the same road the
whole distance Zone hundred and nine miles)
for 81 per bale II citizen Of the State wants
any benefit from our railroad system he should
move out OF the State, and then himself, his
family and produce will be carried at the cheap
est rates; while those in. the State arc required
TO pay double rates. Let the Legislature look
to this state of things, and apply tho remedy.
Let cotton be brought to Charleston pro rata
as cheap over all our roads as it is carried to
Charlotte, Wilmington, Norfolk or New York;
and when North Carolnl citizens como into
our State for charters, compel them to bring
cotton rs cheap do,on as they carry it up.
The State OF New York con,pels the great
Central Road to do justice to its own citizens,
in forb:ddlng determinations. Let South Caro-
lima do the same.
My opposition to the Stato involving herself
any further in assisting railroads, is based on
tlfe fact that oil the original stockholders who
expendod their money and built the roads
which seek assistance, have no longer any
hopo of ever receiving any return from theirin-
vostment and all that they can hope for is to see
the roads mado useful to the country, kept in
good repair, and affording cheap transit for
produce and passengers. This believe can
be done by selling all roads which are involved
in debt, for what they are really worth, 10 cap
iialists from other States who havo the means
of improving them. 1t is certain we have not
the capital in this State, and think it will be
found no easy task to borrow it, oven with the
States endorsement.
At present majority of our roads are only
OF interest to their officers and employees; but
put fresh capital and new stockholders in them,
and YOU will soon find different state of
things. IAA-PAIEh.

Tho Southern Colonies in BraZil-A
Sorry Picture.

The Mobile Tribune prints an account of the
experiences of an Alabaman. james J. Selby,
who went to Brazil in 1867 and has just re-
turned:
Mr.. Selby landed first at Rio and took pas
sage from there for Para, in the government
steamer, for the purpose Of joining the cole
nsts who went from Mobile under the, guild
ance OF Major Hastings, and had settled some
distance up the Amazon. The BRAZILIAN Gov
ernment had pledged itself to transport Anler-
can emigrants 10 any part OF Brazil where
they might wish to settle. The experience Of
Mr.. Solby Of the manner inswhich that pledge
was kept was anything but gratifying. After
great trouble and numerous delays he secured
ticket and went on board tho steamer Du-
ring the passage, that lasted twenty diys, he
was night and day in tue open AIR, and afford
cd no shelter from sun OF rain. He was iur-
shed two meals 4 day Of farina, which were
served in q hugo basin set out upon the deck
for the accommodation Of the deck passengers.
The colonlsts vino went out with Hast .nSs
were promised supplies for SIX months or
their equivalent in money, with which 10 pur
chase supplies whcro tdcy miSat deem proper.
The official charged with furnishing the set
tiers with supplies is Vicc-PrcsdGut OF tue
province of Para. With the money he had re-
ceived frUm the government for tho purpose
designated, he established store on the bank
of the river, filled it with the cheapest crocc-
ries he could obtain, aud forced the settlers to
buy from him at the highest cash price, or
starv9 ..'te settlement is distant from the
river .bo:lt eight miles; sandy desert with
out shade intervening; aud once there the Set
tiers had to trudge under tropical sun bear
ing on their backs the poor but costly groce-
RIGS supplied by the enLerprising Pinto. Del-
cafe women from Alabama had often to per-
| form that fclrful task.
Ofthe families that went out with Hastings,
only four remain ut the settlement; the rest
having gone to Para. as fist step towards
getting back home. Those that remain are the
following: Vaughn. MendsnhalI, Steel anu
Emmett. While the Hastings colony has beer
reduced to remnant, oil the other American
colonies hare been utterly broken up; the
colonists coming in as best they could to the
nearest searorts, generally in an absolut"ll,

IMPORTANT DECISION REGARDING THE MARRIAGE
oFsLAyEs-MEADE's REPORT ON THE oGEEcEEE
TRoUBLEs-THE DEBT STATEMENT.
WASHINGTON, January 6.-In the Bal tirnore
Circuit Court yesterday, Judge Piakney ce-
ivered an opinion in the case Of Addison VS..
Addison. The bill was fled for the sale Of
certain property, the title to which involved
the question Of the legality of marriage be-
tween slaves. The court decided that COR
tract of marriage between slaves was legal
and valid by the consent Of the master and
the moral assent Of the slave, and although
it was dormant during slavery, yet from the
moment OF freedom it prepuced all the effects
of marriage contract between free persous.
General Meade has made the following re-
port to General Grant: 81 transmit herewith
the latest dispatches received from General
Sibley, relative to the iOgeechee troubles.
sibley has been instructed to forbid armed or
ganizations, black or white, and to preserve
the peace at all hazards, and to cooperate
with the civil authorities in case he finds
chat the civil authorities are acting in
good faith, and that their a,tion is
necessary to preserve the Peace, auu
not as at Camilla, where the law was made a
pretext for outrage upon negroes. At the
same time Sibley has been instructed to disarm
and disperse all assenblases OF negroes, and
require their submission TO the civil authori-
ties" The balance of the report embraces an
account of the Ogechee affair, similar to those
already published.
