Why «•« I
We see it is becoming quite fashionable,
of late, in business advertisements, among
tho Unreconstructed, to print in big letters
such attractive captions as “ Crippled at
Chicamauga," etc., with tho name of some
Regiment C. S. A., and tho intimatiou
that the advertising survivor of the Lost
Cause “ will bo duly thankful to all Ex-
Confeda., Rcbs., and all others, for patron
age."
Why wouldu’t it be a good idea to carry
this thing a little farther ?—for instance, a
man having groceries to sell to everybody
(•'Scalawags" included) to publish the
fact, “ I kept out of tho army by driving a
baggage-wagon”; or, in offering dry
goods. “ 1 was caught running the block
ade, and therefore didn't wear tho gray”;
or, in filling orders tor drugs, '• I wasn’t
here at home, but resided in the vicinity of
New York until the late little unpleasant
ness was over,” etc. Why not ?
Seizure of the itlanbaitun.
The New York Commercial Advertiser of
Thursday afternoon says: “Special Agent
Cornwall, acting under the orders of Collec
tor Shook, yesterday afternoon seized the
steamer Manhattan, of the New York and
Charleston Steamship Company, for violation
of the revenue laws in delivering cotton, the
taxes upon which had not been paid, to
private hands instead of the Collector of the
District.”
Fatal Accident.
Coroner Whiting held an inquest on East
Bay, near Easel street, Charleston, on Satur
day afternoon, on the body of Margaret
Halm, an interesting little girl about 9 years
of age, whose clothes accidentally took fire on
Friday morning and who died from the effects
of burning, the same evening. Verdict
the jury, “that she came to her death by
accidental burning.”
Tlic Georgia Case in Court.
After the Georgia and Mississippi cases
had been disposed of, a short time since, in
the Supreme Court of the United States;
Judge Black filed anew bill in behalf of
the State of Georgia against Generals
Grant, Meade and Ruger et al. It is under
stood that this bill seeks to avoid all the
difficulties encountered in the former argu
ment, and raises distinctly a question of
property, to-wit: the Treasury of the State
of Georgia. An injunction to protect this
is prayed for. The time for hearing the
argument is not yet determined.
Order of Secretary Stanton.
General Orders No. 9, j ust issued by order
of the Secretary of War, promulgates the
joint resolution of Congress, for the rclie"
of destitute persons in the South author
izing the distribution of desicated potatoes
and mixed Vegetables which have accumu
lated during the war, and are not needed
for the army. This is the first general
order issued by Mr. Stanton which lias
been made public. He has issued a num
ber of special orders signed “ By order of
the Secretary of War,” but all the special
orders beginning “By direction of the
President,” are signed “By command of
General Grant,” and then follows the sig
nature of the Adjutant-General.
*«.*.
Plienonicuu.
According to one Professor Delisscr, a
series of celestial and terrestrial phe
nomena is at hand. On the night of tiie
27tli of February, in the western heavens,
there will be a conjunction of the moon
with Jupiter and Venus; and three nights
later, Jupiter will pass Venus by only
twenty-three seconds of a degree. The
result of these conjunctions and perturba
tions will be atmospheric commotion—
electrical discharges, heavy gales, high
tides, earthquakes, and nobody knows
what besides. Moreover, the whole year
will be fearful for its storms, inundations,,
eruptions, quakings of the earth, etc. We
shall see and hear of those things if they
occur.
Business Prospects.
Tbo fact that the resources of our coun
try—its lands, its houses, its mines, its
forests, its herds, its mills, its machinery,
its vessels, its railways, its canals, which
constitute its intrinsic wealth—arc not
diminished; that its population is increas
ing in numbers, and is growing wiser by
the teaching of severe experience, afford
solid grounds whereon to base hopes of
early improvement in almost every branch
of business. Though we have received a
temporary check, a sharp admonition, wo
may claim to be ranked among the richest
nations of the world.
Let us take heart, curb extravagances,
obey the apostolic injunction to be “not
slothful in business,” not looking too much
to tbe Government for aid, but rather
minister to our needs by our own exertions-
It is encouraging to believe that the “win
ter of our discontent” is drawing to a close,
and that the approaching spring will wit
ness a revival in all the more valuable
departments of industry, whereat Capital
and Labor shall bo made glad.
Outside of their own affairs, what busi
ness men most need is n financial system
so wisely framed that it will bear up its
own weight, and not require to ho speedily
taken down and rebuilt—a system that
they can rcgnrd as a fixed landmark by
which to be guided in every rational en
terprise. Spasmodic fluctuations in na
tional legislation respecting raonctury
affairs are alarmiug to both Capital and
Labor. For a stable system, whereon it is
Isafe to embark, they have a right to look to
Congress and the Treasury Department.

A New Orleans reporter speaks es a wo
man who was creating a disturbance in the

How Do Von Know J
Or Course.— As might have beon pro
dieted with perfect safety, the charges of
malfeasance and corruption in office pre
ferred by a majority of tho most respectable
citixeus of Augusta, against the indicted
Blodgett, and his colleagues of tho Augusta
City Council, and which were investigated
(?) by a Military Commission, have been
dismissed “by command of Major General
Meade.” It is a matter for congratulation,
though, by the honest tax payers of that
city, that tho real People of Georgia back
them in their efforts, and are fully satisfied
that they deserved, and. would have had a
different fate before auy legal tribunal.—
Journal <{• Messenger.
“Os course,” this characteristic squib
was copied in the “respectable” Chronicle
on yesterday. Wo are a little curious to
know how this Macon intermeddler became
so wise as to know that the charges alluded
to were “preferred by a majority of the
most respectable citizens of Augusta.” Ho
had only the say-30 of the Chronicle for
such an assertion.
Democratic Clubs.
Arrangements are being effected to or
ganize Democratic Clubs in all the Wards.
* * * It is time that the patriotic
people of the South—those who believe in
preserving this Government as the white
man’s government —should arouse al! the
energies of their natures.
[ Chronicle <(■ Sentinel.
The “Democrats” of Lebanon, 111., do not
share the prejudice of their brethren else
where against the colored individual. They
are regular subscribers to a newspaper
edited by a “ full-bloo'ded negro,” and
crowded a hall the other evening to listen
to him, applauding him to the echo. This
partiality is accounted for by the fact that
he is a staunch Democrat.
Senator Doolittle, who does much for
the Democratic party, of which he is a
bright and shining light, proposes that all
colored men who can read, write, or who
have a $250 freehold, or who have served
in the army, shall be permitted to vote.
This “Democrat,” then, would allow tho
pure black son of Africa, who can do a
littlo reading and spelling, to be set over
the octoroon, who counts half a dozen
aristocratic Democrats among his ancestors!
He would promote black blood that spells
over the Caucasian that does not. Mr.
Doolittle ought surely to add all those
who have any portion of white blood.
Again, shall we set a higher value on read
ing, real estate, soldiering, or white blood,
than on piety ? By no means. Mr. Doo
little must add to his qualifications all
who are zealous in prayer or gifted in
exhortation. But after all, in a race of
working men, what qualification of mind is
more important than good health and stout
muscular, physical systems? Let Mr.
Doolittle allow every black man to vote
whose physical proportions are equal to his
own—who can run as well, lift as well, butt
as well, and in all respects vindicate his
virility as satisfactorily as the Hon. Mr.
Doolittle. Let him then add every negro
who will vote the Democratic ticket.
James L. Patterson.
We are deeply paiued to announce the
demise of this excellent citizen, which took
place yesterday morning about ten o’clock.
Mr. Patterson was born in Charleston on
the 16th of September, 1813, and began
business early in life with his father, the
late Samuel Patterson. Subsequently lie
became one of the partners of the firm of
Patterson & Mag wood, and afterwards of
that of Patterson Sf Stock, which was
formed in 1846. and of which he was a
member at the tirno of his death.
Thoroughly enterprising, of stainless
integrity, aud possessed of a largo business
experience, Mr. Patteison’s death creates
a melancholy void in our mercantile com
munity, whilst it falls like an almost unen
durable calamity upon the host of friends
who will cherish the memory of Ins do
mestic attributes aud graces. —Charleiton
Courier, Monday.
Encourage Home Industry.
[Some weeks ago we sent out the follow
ing paragram upon the sea of paperdom,
and which, we have been gratified to see,
has been generally adopted by our cotem
poraries. The sentiments expressed therein
are jnst as true and applicable now as they
were when the article first saw daylight;
so here wo go again—as the little boy ex
claimed when the bull chased him :]
We arc glad to sec so many’ of our young
men steadily applying themselves to me
chanical occupations, believing that it
argues well for the success of our country,
and we hope that every citizen will feel it
his duty to encourage home manufactures
whenever in his power. The labor of me
chanics should always meet with this
encouragement. It incites them to indus
try, and aids greatly in securing that
genial good fellowship which induces man
to help Tiis fellow man. Live and let live,
is a capital motto that should be especially
remembered at this time, and those who
receive business favors in the way of pat
ronage are very apt to return them in
some shape or other. Soon, very soon, we
hope, business wiil receive anew impetus,
and by honesty, industry, and fair dealing,
our city will, we trust, become at no dis
tant date, as lively and prosperous as in
her best days.
