By The rain continues. Alas! for the
cotton crop ! A few weeks since, it waa
calculated that half of jin average crop
would be realized in our parish, bnt the
wet season is likely to reduce that half to
»till another half.
The roads in the country are in a most
wretched condition from the mad, par
ticularly where newly worked. Of course
the effect of all this on trade is very de
pressing. _
We arc happy to state that Prof.
W. H. N. M agbcdkk is preparing to re
open his school in our city by the lBt of
November. Time was, when Prof. M .'s
school enjoyed a first-class reputation, and
ranked among the most prosperous and
useful institutions in tho State. We doubt
not that with the present open field before
him, and under his renewed efforts and
management, the school will again resume
its former honorable prestige and dis
seminate substantial blessings among the
rising generation.
Bebolart Extbaobdijîaby .—One of the
boldest burglaries we have ever heard of,
occurred in our city during the "small
hours" on Tuesday morning. The store
of Mr. F. OTT0,0n the corner of Third and
Laurel streets, was entered, the door of the
safe (one of C. Eich's patent,) broken open,
and upwards of five hundred dollars in
money, together with many papers of value
stolen therefrom. An immense sledge
hammer, besides a chisel and one or two
other iron implements that were used for
accomplishing the deed, were left behind
by the burglars.
The noise produced by the heavy ham
mering was heard by the neighbors, but
from tho strange hour selected by the rob
bers for their work (it was about 3 o'clock
in the morning,) suspicion was not arous
ed, it being presumed that some one be
longing to the store, was ongaged in there
doing some legitimate work.
No clue as yet has been obtained as to
who were the perpetrators of this most
daring affair. A few of the papers stolon,
wo learn, were found concealed yesterday
beneath a bridge on tha Boulevard.
Wo hope no time will bo lost by our city
authorities to avail themselves of every
possible means to forret out the authors of
this and similar other crimes which are of
almost nightly occurrence in our midst.
A well organized citizen patrol to co
operate with the Provost Guard would be
very apt to put a stop to such depredations.
We hope that Mayor Holt and Brig. Gen.
Fonda will concur in some efficient plan
whereby the city may be rid of night
prowling marauders, and its interests pro
tected from violent hands.

A Reminiscence of John C. Calhoun.
A correspondent of the St. Louis Democrat
writes :
A gentleman who spent an afternoon
with Calhoun at his chamber in Wash- !
ington some time before his death, men
tions that, among other passages of Scrip
ture discussed by them, he quoted the
precept of St. Peter, "Honor all men."
"What, sir!" Mr. Calhoun exclaimed,
" 'Honor all men !' Is that in the Bible ?"
"Certainly, sir," was the reply, "Sir," he
said, "God docs not require that. Honor
nil men ! What! the fellow in the White
House, and the mass of such beings as I
meet every day yonder in the Capitol? O
uo ! I cannot, honor them; God does not
command it." His friend explained that
The passage claimed for every man honor
us a man, and beoaose he is a man, until
iie shall forfeit his right by crime. "Sir," !
be replied, "that in right; and I do honor j
all win who deserve it. I honor my slaves j
who deserve it; but such men as I "have to |
<lo with in Washington, neither God nor |
man can honor,"
Tho dying statesman continued in the
same frame of mind to the last. Just be- j
lore the solemn closing scene, the Chap- !
lain of the Senate called, and was an- !
nounced by a Iriend. Supposing him,}
Irom his name, to be his Congressional '
colleague, Judge Butler, Mr. Calhoun said : i
"Why did you not admit him?" Being!
told that il was the Kev. Mr. Butler, who !
felt it his duty to converse with him— j
"Tho Rev. Mr. Butler," he said, "what '
does ho want? Ha, a young man, to call
at this time, to spoak to me on a subject
upon which I have thought all my lifa'j
Tall him he csonot be admitted,"
More Sound Talk and «ood Advice
to Frecdmen«
In our last, we took occasion to publish
the well-timed, sensible and judicious ad
dress delivered to the colored people in
Aiken, S. C., by Capt. N. G. Parker, Pro
vost Marshal at that place. We now make
room for tho following extracts from an
address of similar import made not loDg
sinco to a collection of freedmen at Al
buny, Ga., by Dr. French, of the Frced
inen'u Bureau for Georgia :
divisions of the land.
You ask me how much will your friends
help you, and how much will the Gov
ernment do for you ? Some of you have
very high expectations, and I am sorry to
say some expectations that cannot be real
ized. I am told by some of your former
masters that you are expecting the Gov
ernment to give you a portion ef the land
and of the stock on thoir plantations. In
different places some of your brethren have
asked me if this were not so, and seemed
sadly disappointed when I told them this
could not be done. Your masters tried
very hard, making great and noble sacri
fices, to establish a »eparate indépendance.
They poured out their money like ï/ûter.
They gave their brave sons by thousands.
Tho great amount of labor BDd sacrifices
of your masters and mistresses for ttiis
cherished object, redounds to their honor;
yet they have failed of their object, and
after losing thoir money and thousands of
their beloved sons, the Government has
now deprived them of all their slaves. But
how is it with you I What have you lost ?
Only your chains. What have you gained ?
Blessed bo God, you have gained your
freedom, and tne freedom of all your race
henceforth and forever. (Loud bursts of
applause and many hallelujahs).
Ali that is left to your masters, is their
plantations and their manly character.
They have their lands, but no sons or
knowledge of their own to wortthem. So
you see, they arc dependent on you to cul
tivate their fields for thoir own support,
and you are dependent on them for the use
of their lands to raise a support for you
and your families.
Some of you may think that Providence
has dealt more generously with them than
with yon. But look at it again. They
have loHt their independence, they have
lost their money, they have lost all their
negroes, and more than all, more thau a
hundred thousand graves are filled with
beloved fathers, sons and brothers; and
they would gladly give all that is left to
them by the Government, if the graves
would only give back their treasure—while
you, having lost nothing, absolutely noth
ing worth naming, have gained a treasure
in your freedom, worth a lifo of toil and
sacrifices. Whose condition is best '( Who
would exchange places with them '! Let
every man aud woman who feel that
Providence has given them the best end of
the bargain raise their hands. (To this
both men and women joyfully threw up
their hands).
You see, then, that the Government, on
the one hand, leaves the land and the
stock with yonr masters; while to yon it
simply gives your freedom.
' This seems to place you out in the cold;
but bo not discouraged; the Government
has really complimented you in this. It
has faith in you too, that yon will make
yoar freedom a success, so far as your sup
port is concerned. To encourage you I will
tell you how the old hen manages with
her family. As soon as tho little chicks
are halchod, she gets them on their feet
and shows them how to scratch. When
she has fully learned them the trade of
scratching, without one grain of corn, or
one bug laid up for their next dinner, she
takes a last look of them, and off she ruus.
clocking as she goes. Now, little chicks,
scratch or die! (Peals of laughter and
displays of ivory). Did you ever see a lit
tle chick that did not scratch out a living?
While tho Government has lands to give
you, it will, through the Freedmen's Bu
reau, furnish you protection—schools for
your children, and, as far as possible, make
provision for the aged and tne infirm, and
will exercise a general care over you, until
you can take care of yourselves, when.
Uncle Sam will say to all his black
chickens: "Now, scratch or die!" (Sen
sation and approbation).
H«MES.
Homes for your families you must have.
All christian families have home». Where
and how will you gat homes for your
selves? If you refuso to work, or are idle,
you will never have a home; but, if indus
trious, economical and disposed to im
prove your time, making yourselves useful
on the plantations, or in the blackHmith,
carpenter or wagon shops of others, or of
your own setting up; if you are women,
and will make yourselves useful as nurses,
seamstresses, cooks, laundresses, end in
the field, there will be full demand and
good pay for your labor. If in addition to
this, you will be orderly, honest in all your
dealings, truthful, you need not fail get
ting homes. There will be room enough
for all the industrious, economical and
useful people on the plantations; but none
for tho idle, lazy and dishonest ones; but
for them tho Government will make plenty
of room in the jails. Wo hope better
things of you all, and therefore shall not
advise the Government to order the lum
ber for the jails yet.
_ For your encouragement I must tell
that I have heard some mastwe say they
intend to give certain ones among their
servants a first rate chance, because they
are industrious, love their families and
would do well for both their masters and
themselves. Those masters who doubt
whether servants would be honest or work
if they had a good chance, say they intend
to send North for their laborer». One »ays
he intends to get Irish workmen; another
says he must have some Dutchmen to work
for him. Some of vonr mistresses say they
will wend North for house servant«. I
have no fears us to this. The Northern
people have grown so rich during the war
that they can afford to pay twice as much
as your masters or mistresses for help; and
Northern laborers are afraid to bring their
families into this warm climate. So you
see if you are really industrious and make
youitelves useful in every opening and
situation in life you have nothing to fear.
The South is warm and better adapted to
you, and I have no fears for you, that you
cannot, by industry and economy, make
this country more flourishing, more profit
able, more pleasant both for yonr masters
and yourselves, now that you are frea,
than it has been made by slave labor, if
you will only do your best. Your masters
have proved how high a value they set
upon you as slaves; compel them now, by
your good conduct and usefulness, to value
you more and do more for you, in free
dom; and then you will have no trouble
in getting comfortable, pleasant homes.
Then money will flow into your hands,
and you will be able to buy lands for your
families. Your masters will have lands to
sell, and the Government has millions of
acres to sell at the low price of |1 25 per
acre in the far West and in Florida to
either white or black alike. With a good
character and plenty of greenbacks in your
pockcts, the white people will be happy to
»ell yon lands, houses, horses, mules, cow«
and «»erythiiig else you na»d
G eneral U. S. G rant .—When Vespa
sian and Titus, father and son, had their
joint triumph at Rome; when Frederick,
of Prussia, returned to his capital in tri
umph after his long war with a combina
tion of the first Powers in Europe, and
when Napoleon the Great made his grand
entry into Paris after the greatest of his
campaigns, their people hardly manifested
more enthusiasm, more affection and more
admiration than are entertained and ex
pressed by the people of the Northern
States for the great General who is now
taking a tour of New England. At Boston
he was met by an ovation. The Athens of
America, as the Bostonians call their city,
or the "hub of the Universe," as it is face
tiously called by "George, Count Johan
nes," was stirred from its very foundations.
To parody a couplet from one of the poets:
"Men felt thea who never felt before.
And men who always felt, now felt the mfcre."
It is not every man, nor is it every event
that can kindle warmth in the cold hearts
of the Bostonians, It requires an extraor
dinary man or an event of uncommon im
portance to do so. It is not surprising
that the people of the North should turn
out in great numbers to greet General
Grant. Such a man is not to be met with
evory day or every year, He is one of
the first commanders of this age, and as a
man he has displayed qualities that must
attract -universal respect. Plain and un
pretending in his address, of modest speech
and manners, disdaining to court attention
by the trappings of office, he pursues the
even tenor of his way like a quiet, private
gentleman. To the skill and courage of
the soldier he unites that solid integrity
which is oftner found in private station
than in the haunts of public life. The
South does not yield to the North in respect
for and appreciation of General Grant.—
While the Southern people are far less ex
citable than the people of the North, we
believe that they look upon General Grant
with as much interest and real admiration
as he excites among them. Ricmond fell
before him, and with it the Government of
which it was the Capital—but to this day
that noble conqueror has never entered
its gates.
Whether this proceeded from delicacy
of feeling, from a generous and respectful
consideration for the people, or from any
other cause it must present him in a most
favorable light. A vain, weak, egotistical
man would have delighted to exhibit«him
self under such circumstances, and to be
pointed out as the hero of the occasion.—
General Grant from the close of the war up
to the present hour has maintained a dig
nified silence, reserve and seclusion that
contrasts most favorably with the preten
tious air and pompous display exhibited
by men of greatly inferior merit. While
they swell aud strut like the vain peacock,
he shrinks from observation. He can not,
of course, be expected to bury himself out
of the range of observation. We do not
doubt that it would be far more agreeable
to him to be permitted to make his present
tour like a private, ordinary citizen, but
this is out of the question. There is a
universal desire to see, to shake hands
with, and bestow public honors upon the
great General who bas won the proudest
name and fame of all the Northern Gener
erals, and who, in his great place, has
borne himself with so becoming a modesty.
Richmond Times.
New Yobk , Sept. 13.—The CommtrciaVs
special says Gen. Meade's account of the
condition of Carolina and Virginia is very
satisfactory; the people and the prominent
citizens are everywhere disposed to accept
frankly the issue of the war, and resume
their former relations with the North.
Government arrangements were made by
law under authorities of the President for
the gradual withdrawal of Federal troops,
and resumption of civil laws. Tha people
acquiesce in submitting all disputes be
tween white and blacks to the Provost
courts.
ÊéëfThe death of Gov. Brough of Ohio
has been announced. His system has been
broken down by over-labor and anxiety;
but the immediate cause of his death was,
an injury to his foot about two months ago,
which resulted, according to a statement
of his physician, in "violent inilamation of
the periosteum and cellular structure of
the foot and one of his hands, with pha
gedenic sloughing and irangrene of soft
structure, fol loweJ by much irritative fe
ver, death of some of the bones of the toes,
frequent hemorrhages and sloughing of
small arteries, and enormousabsesses in
different parts of the limbs and body."
