the touching manner IN which the
simple ceremony of decorating the

patriotism yet kindles.

By WHOSE AUTHORITY. We are in
formed (says the Union 1Ymes) that the
political prisoners now in our Jail are
subjected to the most rigid and tyranni-
cal discipline. No one is allowed to
speak to them when they see them ct the
windows in passing the Jail, and but few
are allowed to visit them. All letters
are read by the officer on guard before
the prisoners are permitted to know their
contents. We have heard it hinted that
this tyr my is put upon some OF them
to extort some confession of their know
ledge OF or completely with the Ku Klux.
We are pleased to state that while the
officers and soldiers guarding the prison
ers rigidly adhere to their instructions
in these matters, they perform their
duty courteously. and with great con.
sideration for the unfortunate men
placed under their guard. The marshals
here say they are instructed by the au-
thorities in Columbia to keep the striot.
est surveillance over the prisoners.

Christmas. 1871.

Christmas has come and gone. With
the oolored people, it was as usual sea-
son Of much merrimsn:, and, We expect
In too many cases. Of much mean whis-
key. Tho children, OF course, enjoyed
the usual visits Of Santa CLAUS. As for
the elder portion of our community, and
particularly "the old citizens" and those
honest Northern men who have come to
live with us. the day was one OF no more
than cheerful philosophy. The day
elsewhere brought joyous reflections.
Here in South Carolina it could inspire
in the thoughtful breaet no other senti.
ment than that of "Chriatian fortitude
under misfortune and oppression" Our
ootemporary OF the Baltimore Sun we'll
says:
Our countrymen in general come to
the observance OF this day with great
reasons for thankfulness. Peace and
health have blessed their lot; our crops
for the year have been large and good
our foreign and domestic trade has been
prosperous; immigrants from abroad, in
large numbers, have found home in
our wide territories, and even such ter.
ribie local misfortunes as the Western
fires have only had the effect of develop.
ing degree Of liberality and sympathy
which has not only sufficed to relieve
the sufferers, but reflected new honor
upon our common humanity. It is to
be regretted that there is any portion oi
our country to which, as in some of the
Southern States. even Ohristmas can
bring no enjoyment nor inspire any sen.
timent except Christian fortitude under
misfortune and oppression. It is som.
case of the wronged and wretohed. nc
earthly tyranny can deprive them of the
consultations offered by the principles o
that religion whose founder was born or
this day.
