First-The way to improve the condi.

pay Of labor is to cripple the industries

Third-That the way TO make times

Fourth That the way to inspire con

terprises that will give employment to
labor, is to terrorize the public mind and
spread a feeling of insecurity among
capitalists.
Fifth--As capital is quite as neces

Blue. cray ana Confederate Gray.
Charleston News and courier.l
Some criticism has been INDUCED in
by partisan papers on account Of the
selection of gray as the color for the uni
forms o. the general staff of South Car
DINA. The color chosen, although an
nouneed in orders as 'blue-gray," and
intended to describe that particular
shade so generally popular North and
South for military uniforms, has been in
some cases thoughtlessly described as
Confederate gray" In point of fact no
two cloth mills in the South during the
war were ever able to make the same
shade OF gray, owing to difficulties which
will readily suggest themselves. What
was imported through the blockade was
as varied in shade as the home made ar
tiele. The blue-gray cloth is worn by the
Shields Guard, of Auburn; by the Seventh
regiment, Of New York; by the Fifth
regiment, of Maryland, as well as by the
Carolina Battalion and Irish Volunteers,
of Charleston. 1t is 30 worn as a mat.
ter Of taste. Some of our prominent
commands wear dark blue, while the
Clinch Rifles, Of Augusta, wear olive
green. Cur nervous Northern critics
may give rest to their sensitive souls.
Wei South Carolina are fairly embarked
in a new departure l.. C, the restoration
Of our State to prosperity and absolute
peace. The official order of Adjutant
General Noise, prescribing the uniform,
designates the color, moi as cadet gray
or French gray" or the misnomer,
Confederate gray" but as ''blue-grAy,"
which, besides being a very handsome
shade, may be taken by the sentimentally
inclined to typify the blending of the
blue and the gray, which is a pleasant
and sensible feature Of the era of ma.
tional reconciliation and good will.
