The Public Meeting Last Saturday.
The meeting in our city on Saturday
" wrb a success in point of numbers and the
spirit which tempered its proceedings as a
conservative body. There was no call for
any special action on national or domestic
politics, farther than to manifest an ap
probation and appreciation of the course
marked out by President J ohnson for Iiis
own and the people's guidance, respecting
a restoration to the latter ef their civil
rights under civil forms ot government.
The fhain object of the meeting, which
■was to nominate delegates to attend a State
Conservative Convention in New Orleans
next month, was satisfactory accomplished.
There was only one speech made on the
occasion—the only one called for—the only
one that wa* nocessary—as it took in the
whole scope and aim of the mealing in an
earnest, concise and lucid form. It was
just such an address as might have been
expected from the honest-minded and tal
ented gentleman from whom it came, J O.
F uqua , Esq. Iiis eloquent, heartfelt tri
bute to the honored dead who fell in the
late war; his sensible and judicious appeals
to his fellow-citizens to stand by the prin
ciples and policy hitherto enunciated by
the President of the Nation and repeated
more recently in his address to certain
Southerners at Washington, and to lultill
faithfully the duties and obligations which
each owes to the General Govern nient, 1111 ~
der thoconstitution and the laws; hisexcel
lentcounseling» thatevory oneshonld make
common cause in, and lend t.hcir united
efforts to the work of, civil re-organization,
prudently avoiding all premature issues
and discarding politics for mere partisan
purposes, as calculated only to stir up strife
and bitter feelings—all these wore listened
to with profound attention and elicited
merited approbation and satisfaction.
The proceedings of the meeting, embra
cing the names of its officers and its dele
gates to the State Coiivontion,may bo seen

ICE.
This almost indispensable gummer ne
cessity has been held at exhorbitant rates
this season, making it, instead of a cheap
necessity as it should be, a very expensive
luxury. At one time during the hottest
part of the " heated term," it became a very
scarce article in New Orleans, but a num
ber of vessels arrived with cargoes of it to
supply the market, without creating, how
ever, any visible reduction in the price; all
of which was, and is, owing to an odious
monopoly, existing in New Orleans, in this
as in other articles, stich' as West Indiaand
other kinds of fruit, &c., and which tends
so unjustly to, keep up extortionate rates
there as well as in places dependent on
that city 'for supplies.
The New Orleans Times has been suc
cessfully com bating the beef monopoly
down there, and now suggests a joint
stock anti-monopoly ice company, for ita
city, similar to the One organized of late
in the city of New York, and described in
the annexed paragraph lYom the Timet:
"An anti-monopoly ice company has been or
ganised in New York 10 protect the citizens
against the combinations and impositions of ice
dealer«. The organiiation is a joint stock one, the
capital, divided into 100,000 shares at
$f> each. Parties wbo subscribe for the stock will
be entitled to receive their supply of ice in each
succeedlSj '»eSutoD, at the actual cost of and de
livery, as follows, viz: one shire will entitle the
holder to receive tau pounds per day, two shares
will entitle the holder to receive twenty-five
pounds per day, four shares will entitle the bold
to receive fifty pounds per day.six shares will en
title the holder to receive one hundred pounds
per day, ten share
rill entitle the holder to re
iy,
ceive flvo hundred pounds porday, fitteen share«
will untitle the holder to receive on» thousand
pounds per day, twenty shares will entitle the
holder to receive one ton per day, and one ton for
every additional twenty share.
The good effects of such un organization
«re already uiaitjlest. To illustrate the
benefits offered 1>y this company, says the
'Vinife, it is only necessary to say that the
monopolies nuw propose to charge those
who wish ten pounds of ice per day one
hall cent per pound; this amountsto$lS 25
per year. The cost of ice is not more than
ne fourth of a usnt per pound;-thus sub
cribors to the stock of this company will
save $0 18 per annum on ar. investment
t $.s.
From this we turn to tho consideration
fan enlarged enterprise in contemplation
by Messrs. H aitsi-kr, L abakrk & Co., the
wners of the ice manufactory in New Or
Orleans, so as to meet to a tar greater ex
tent the demands made upon them lor the
glacial product. Those gentlemen pro
pose a transfer of their enterprise to a stock
uipAiy with a capital of $ 1 ,(JKlQ,0i«), dl
dided into 20,000 shares of $50 each. By
h an arrangement they expect to be
enabled to erect buildings for factories, ice
storage, «fee., and to procure twelve ma
chines capable of turning out ten tons of
ice a day, each; the ice to he furnished at
the rate of 1 }£c. per pound.
The country population cannot but feel
a lively interest in the success of such a
scheme, which would redound so greatly
to their own comforts and necessities.
Ice, this season, has been held at figures
beyond the reach of many, at least in so
far as they were able to afford more than
an occasional indulgence in the commodity.
By next season, we trnst, there will be
such an abundance of it, and sold at such
reasonable prices, as to render it available
to all.
[Fron the Richmond Commercial Bulletin ]
DeBow's Kcvieu.
We have received the following letter
from Mr. DeBow, which is intended as an
answer to statements made by Northern
papers in regard to the resumption of his
periodical, so well kndwn as the Review.
We had also the pleasure of seeing the gen
tleman himself since the letter was written,
he being then on lus way to Washington
upon business connected with the re-estab
lishment of the Review :
v W innsboro ', S. 0-, Aug. 14,1865.
Editor s Bulletin —A statement has been
copied from one of the Northern newspa
pers, into several at the South, to the ef
fect that I was about to resume the publi
cation of my Review "upon the basis of
free labor."
It is my wish and intention to resume
the publication of the Review at some peint
which shall be regarded most eligible, if I
can control the means and machinery to
do so, and I very clearly perceive what
should be the mission of the work.
Begarding the issues of the past as dead,
abtrat which a practical philosophy will
not dispute, and those of tho present as
living and potential, it would be the part
of the Review to accept the situation, and
deduce I'rom it all that can be promotive
of the best interests of the whole country.
Within the wide range of discussion
which the future will open, there is surely
a field for labor. Tho restoration of social
and political order throughout the South
—there-establishment of its agricultural,
manufacturing and commercial industry,
prostrated by the war, the re-opening of
its internal communications, the relations
which its several classes of population shall
sustain to each other and the mode in
which they shall co-operate for the best
interests of each and for the public weal —
the establishment of schools and colleges
—these are the landmarks !
Esch State and community will look-to
and be aided by the experiences of others,
and hence the importance of an organ for
auch information; and we may assuredly
look very closely into what has been done
by other countries similarly situated with
regard to slavery and emancipation, adopt
ing what was wise and rejecting the rest,
in their action.
I do not despair of a high degree of
prosperity in the future throughout the
boundless fields of the South, and if our
people will take hold with a brave heart
and noble purpose, in a few years ail traces
of the roceut calamitous times, will he
erased. If we are met iu the same spirit,
which I have no doubt will be the case by
the people of the North, the nation will
advance in a career of greatness, for which
history has no parallel, and be moved by
one heart, on.« spirit and om high and gen
erous impulse. Your ob't serv't,
J.I). B. D e B ow.
Thomas Jefferson denied the power
of one generation to bind another by a
public debt. His opinion was that a debt
could not be contracted to extend beyond
the life of the generation that incurred it.
[Communicated.
Mil Dear Cornet—Ex cuse me. I had a
dream last night, which, because of its
strangeness, I think ought to go down to
posterity, in your immaculate and mortal
newspaper. Allow me to give it nakedly
as It appeared in its outline, and you and
your sensitive and imaginative readers
may put on the drapery. I remember»
before falling asleep, to have had my mind
running on the folly of this life, with all
its whimsical vanity, and Mr. Thomas
Carlyle's picture of the world without
clothes appeared to me. After all, what is
the difference between men and women,
when stripped of their tinsel and outside
trimmings ? I remember once myself to
have fallen desperately in love with a rod
flannel jacket, and wept my eyes dry over
a prunella shoe, worn by a sweet little
angel, who went tripping away from us to
the spirit land on a May morning. Bodily
what are we alter all but earth and ashes ?
"Imperious Csosar, dead, and turn'd to olay,
Might stop a hole to keep the wind away :
O, that the earth which kept the world in awe,
Should patch a wall to expel the winter's flaw !"
From a naked world with all its hollow
pomp and circumstance, my mind wan.
dered off on the instability of all the
brightest and best things of life, and fall
ing asleep, 1 heard an explosion which
threw me into the planet Vesta, then in
close proximity to earth. 1 rubbed my
eyes and looked. down to find my worst
fears realized. The magazine behind the
old grave-yard had blown up and all tho
villainous equipments of death and en
gines of destruction were being tossed
about as chaff in the wind, or feathers in
the' air. 1 heard a voice whisper, "There,
now, what a loss of money! 1 ' "How
many greenbacks will it cost this trans
ceadentally virtuous and magnanimous
government to replace these things ?"
There was a hollow echo to the questions,
and then a cynical laugh which sounded
to me very like the devil's. Presently I
descried mid air a naked fat man coming
up heels foremost, and when I recognized
my friend of — street, I asked him po
litely if he was going to heaven in that
way. He cither did not hear me, or paid
no attention, for his oyes were riveted on
his loft hand in which he grasped money
enough to line a coffin. I learned pres
ently of a riva! speculator who came up
with only one leg in his breeches, the fat
mau was B. J., and at the time of tho ex
plosion he was about paying for one hun
dred bales just delivered to Payne, arid
bad he been permitted one hour more
he would have transmuted his paper into
yellow eagles. I looked round and saw
the bales coming aflur him, and then a
very lean and anxious looking gentleman
who with his moutli open, seemed to bo
swearing at his fate and damning the
magazine for not giving him an hour's
start of B. J., to enable him to reach the
gates of heaven first and take out an in
junction and a stay of proceedings. Sin
gular thought, but it occurred to me just
then. "What will they do with tho long
staple there ?" "Will there be a Collector
of Internal Revenue to demand the income
tax, and in default confiscate it to his own
use ?" Is Poter down in the list of col
lectors, and does he take legal tenders for
all due6 to his government except im
ports?" There was no one on that horn
of the planet upon which I was sitting to
answer these question^; indeed, I found
the queries wero of my own mind, and
whilst I was indulging in them, tho ele
gant came up without hoops, and
in the smoke and confusion she had lost
her chaste, new-fashioned bonnet, with
the fl»wer-garden on top, to which she
was indebted for the laigest half of her
beauty. Others passed me I did not re
cognize; among them, however, I dis
covered a handsome officer of your ac
quaintance who had just been advanced on
the line of promotion, but blown up and
dead as a mackerel, before his friends could
be made acquainted i®th the fact—what
a pity ! ,
My deaf, dear Coinet, I only wish that
you could have been with me to have seen
some of your Christian friends, who were
taken without "preparation" as they call
it; thrown up without any idols and
minus their baggage. But enough is
quantum xujficit, let all pass, until it is a
reality. Ctntha.
î-sf" The Boston JJerald, which is a
shrewd Observer of public affairs and the
tendency of publicmind,says"evcrywhere
in Ohio and Pennsylvania, and through
out the country, the war Democracy and
the Conservative Republicans are deserting
the radicals, and they will go down. A
new party will be raised up, which will
take tho place of the old parties, and re
Store the nation to peace and to an eco
nomical administration ofits affairs. This
revolution is now going on throughout the
country, and will soon be heard thunder
ing along the political horrizon, startling
the old fogies irom their slumber and fan
cied security, and awakening them to their
desolate and forlorn condition. Nothing
can save them from tho coming storm.
They will be swept away by the whirlwind
which will sweep over the land, scattering
thorn in every direction, and making ship
wrecb.of all they have. Every man should
see to it that ho does not attempt to thwart
the designs ol' the people in their fury at
those who have been instrumental in pro
ducing the misery whicn is to come on the
poor in due time. Let them take warning
in time, or it will bo too late for them to
get on board the ark of safety. Thus it is
written and thus it will be as sure as the
sun continues to rise and set. It is as ine
vitable «»anything can he, and he who
does not see it is politically blind. The
Southern leaders in the rebellion have
gone under; so will their allies in the free
States. Agitators, North and South, have
had their day and will now be tinder the
disagreeable necessity of taking a back seat,
■where they can see just as well and appear
to ranch better advantage. The hand
writing is on the wall, but the ultras are so
stupid as not to see it, and will be swal
jOwcl up and destroyed."
T he K avasis«* W ak .—In speaking of
the small vote ofVicksbnrg, Miss.,in com
parison with what it used to cast, the
Vicksburg Journal , of the 12th, said :
"The loss of population by the war has
been very heavy. From twenty-four to
twenty-eight companies have been sent
to the war—including three companies of
cavalry and three of" artillery. But few,
comparatively, of all these men have re
turned.
"We give the lossesin a few companies, as
reported to us by an old resident of the
city: The vVicksburg Cadets went out one
hundred and twenty-three strong, return
ed, six. The 'Vicksburg Sharpshooters'
went out one hundred and twenty-four
strong; returned,seven. These'unretarn
ing brave' lie sleeping beneath the soil of
every Southern State."
