The proclamation of Governor Scott
with regard to nlattors in Sumter, ro .
celvos tho notice appended from the
Sumter lVatchman
"ANoTHER PRocLAn1ArioS.- The
Ph@nih, of yesterday, contains an
other illumination from the Ohio Gov.
crnor Of South Carolina, with an or
der for tho Sumter News to copy, |
touching Sumter, that demands parti-
oular attention in these columns. This
second pronunciamento- used as q
shield or covering Of Executive au.
thority, under which to slander threat
en- and bully our honest, highminded
and intelligent citizens, came to hand
after the article on our additional
sheet was in print. This man who
usurps and disgracos the Executive
chair of South Carolina, seems deter
mined to stir up difficulty in our
midst, in ordor to manufacture some
more stock in trade, with which to ma.
nipalate coming oleotions. But more
than this--this proclamation is, itself,
an incendiary publication--it actually
suggests to the ignorant and easily
misled population In our midst tho
idea of the application of tho torch
to the dwellings and property Of our
citizoDs, and the commission of other
bellish deeds, and intimates, if moth
ing more, that the provooation is sufli-
cient to warrant it. We consider this
publication more monstrous than any
thing that has yet been put forth BY
by this haterJand oppressor Of the in
telligent people Of South Carolina"

Our friends Messrs A. Fl. CHRISTIAN &
Co., of 1903 Main street, seem to be con-
stantly receiving new books, of which they
have sent us specimen copies Of the follow
ing:
Grenter Britain a Record of Travel in
English Speaking Countries during 1856
and 1867. By CHARLES WENTWORTH
dixie. With Maps and Illustrations.
New York: HARPER & BROTHERS. 1869.
MIR. dixie is an English sympathizer
with the Radical party in this country. His
book is such one as CHARLES SUMNER
might have written. If its statements in
regard to other Englishspeaking countries
are as untruthful and unreliable as those
concerning the people of the late Confede-
rate States, his book deserves no more con-
sideration than one of WENDELL PHILLIPS
harangues.
The Old World in its Nep Face. impress
sions of Europe in l867-l86S. BY
HENRY W. BELLOWS. Volume II. New
York HARPER & BROTHERS. 1869.
BELLOWS is an American Radical. He
is a clergyman, so called, Of the Broad
church" Nevertheless, he writes readable
letters, being close observer, and having,
no doubt, sharp eye for business.
Jesus of Nazareth: HIS Life and Teach
mas founded on the Four Gospels, and
illustrated by reference to the Manners,
Customs, Religious Beliefs, and Political
Institutions, Of His Times. By LYMAN
ABBOTT. With Designs by DoRE, De
LARocHE, FEM, and others. "Come
and See" New York: HARPER & Bro
TIERS. 1869.
A valuable book. 1t is beautifully illus
trated. The letter-press is unexception-
able. The style in which it is brought out
is good evidence that the publishers con-
sidered it worthy of the most costly dress.
The author gives rein to his imagination
too much after the manner of HEADLEY !;
yet he keeps within the limits of proba-
bility.
Natures Nobleman. By the. Author of
Rachel's Secret, &c. New York: HAIR

A novel in paper covers. The HARPEEs

Referring to nm editorial in the Peters
burg Times of Wednesday, we would re-
mark that we are as far from being disposed
to reproach the negroes on account of their
ignorance as that paper or any other. We
know that in most instances they are not to
be blamed for it. But we do censure the
vile carpet-baggers and scalawags who,
knowing their ignorance and unhtness for
official position, gave them such counsel as
induced them to elect men like Old SPECS
HODGES" to the constitutional convention.
We would not censure pauper for his
poverty yet if he insisted upon trying to
set up bank of circulation, we should not
hesitate to denounce those who caused him
to make such fool of himself. And q
pauper without copper or second shirt
is as well able to pay off the national debt
as the carpet-baggers, scalawags, and ne
groes, are to rule Virginia wisely.
