—An appeal in behalf of the education
of the poor children and orphans of sol
diers, by J. H. Campbell, is being ex
tensively copied by the press of the
State. He estimates that there are at
least 50 000 children of indigent or de
ceased soldiers, who 'are not enjoying
adequate educational privileges, lhe
actiop of the Legislature, providing for
common schools does nyt go into opera
tion until 1868 ; meantime, these youths
are growing up in ignorance. He simply
commends them to the considerate care
of the benevolent, and instances the
noble example of Hon. A. U. Stephens,
who, he says has spent nearly all he
ever made in the education of the worthy
poor. Mr. Campbell appeals earnestly
to the people of the State to take up
this subject, and not wait for the tardy
bounty of the Legislature. He urges
toe Ministry to present it to their con
gregations, and the press to exert its
power, iu enlisting prompt and liberal
action. He would remind the people
that the latent talent of a Davis, a
Stephens, a Pierce, a Palmer, a‘Mercer,
or a Mallory, may be slumbering in the
brain of many a worthy youth, who
needs only the opportunity to fit him to
shine as they have shone in the world
of intellect. , ,
The earnest and manly appeal of Mr.
Campbell is creditable alike to his head
and heart, and, if our space will justify
it, we will present it to our readers in a
day or two.
Keep to the Right.—lt is often
amusing to sec persons, in meeting on
the street, dodge from right to left to
avoid collision. First one eoes to the
right, only to be again confronted by the
other, who turns to the left. Then
turning to the left, the other dodges to
the right, and thus a continued see
sawing is kept up, as ludicrous as it is
unnecessary. If everybody would re
member to turn to the right, there would
be no difficulty, and the throngs moving
up and down our broad pavements would
pass along like clock-work. Keep to
the right; it is a good motto in nil
things, and especially sensible in walking
or driving.
Cdonty Coukt. —Yesterday. Frank
O’Keefe, colored, was brought before
Judge Mcl.aws, charged with stealing
one pair of shoes, and two hats from the
store of Davidson & Cos., nud was hound
over to the next Cjunty Court in a
bond of S2OO.
Charlotte Jones, (colored), vs. Winnie
Stallings, Habeas Corpus, at common
law, for custody of colored child. Judge
McLaws decided that Charlotte was the
mother of the child, and as such was
entitled to the custody, but the court
would not transfer the custody of the
child immediately to the mother because
the sensibilities of the child would be
shocked by placing it at ouce with its
mother, a stranger to her, and would
hold his judgment as to the time when
the child must he transferred—until
the first of April, when the child must
be produced in Court—child and mother
must have free access to-each other.
City Ai.xs House. Mid ?Hy of
Atlanta has recently passed an ordi
nance creating a city alms house, with
a Superintendent, whose salary is
SI,OOO a year. It is evident that a
large portion of the liberal donations*
annually dispensed to the poor of this
City, coaid be nuare judiciously ex
pended through such an institution.
We earnestly commend this subject to
the attention of our City Fathers.
Fibe is Chari.estok.—The building
known as the Old Sugar Refinery, in
Anson street, was burned on Saturday.
It was the property of W. C. Dukes (
and was insured for SIO,OOO. The con
tents, consisting of several thousand
bushels of grain," belonging to R. H.
Riker, were consumed, bet were covered
by insurance. John Long had a plumb
er’s shop in the building, and saved his
stock.
Crowded. —lncredible ns it may
appear, there are tenements in New
York city for one hundred and twenty
five and on* hsudrod aud fifty families,
which are occupied by at least eight
hundred persons. These houses do not
contain a single loom having proper
ventilation, and are so dark, owing to
adjoining tenement buildings, that on a
cloudy day the inmates can neither see
10 read nor * e * without artificial light.

Wiart Aki> Bt.crx Labor.—A writer
in
the unreliability of negro labor, sdvise*.
planters to “consider the negro sbtol
•eMynjri hiye whit* W*r." -« ,
Writ Wvi» w coW»idir mo* ntiwise
and untimely. The argument is, list
the negro is not disposed to work, and
can not be relied on. There is tot
much truth in this imputation against
(be freedmen, but uafotieiMgtely for the
country, bset&st that it afeo applies in a
large measure to the whites. The
, vast niunjw»«-*£ somsmmb aarl aid then
| <r
teat/ than farming, is one of the moat
deplorable features of our
condition. Our yqflfns and cities- are
full of half paid clerks, mechanics, and
men with professions, who have been
raised on farms, but shrunk from the
continuous labor necessay to farm suc
ce|efrj]y. qov be too ready to
condfeasn the F® Bet him an
example Os indOsbry, and give him a
fair trial. We candidly believe that if
the idle whites of the country will them
selves go back to the old plantation fnd
take hold with energy, working with,
and properly.managing the; freedmen,
that ‘they constitute the bast laborers'
that can be had foe the sun and soil of
this latitude.
This was the great argument in
defense of slavery. We urged, as a
people, that the black was peculiarly
adapted to the Sooth, and it was reli
giously believed aud taught, even fronf”
the pulpit, that Providence had wisely,
provided the black tnau to aid in the
development of this portion of his
heritage.
We freely admit that the negro
worked much better under the old
system than he will under the new, but
it does not follow that his labor now can
not be made profitable. We should not
bfi discouraged by his . temporary Rest
lessness, or .by one unfortunate crop
y e » r - ' ’ ' ■
liKAVWG Reluctantly.—A South
Carolina pnper says that the negroes
who are etnmigrating in such large
numbers, leave reluctantly, and the
writer observes that “a proper effort
would doubtless have secured aud re*
tained them all.’’ We fear our planting
friends do not all properly appreciate
the responsibility resting upon them isF
this matter. The popular reason for
not making an effort to retain the freed’
men is that we cannot afford to pay
them as much ns they are offered else
where.! The )rue question should be—
can we afford to lose them, as laborers.
The drain upon our laboring class will
unquestionably make JM* higher, and
the result will be, our planters will have
to submit to an increase of wages at
least, or abandon their farms. Are they
prepared for the last alternative? If so,
then indeed are we in a deplorable coil
dirion.
The disasters of the last crop year,
coming upon our people when they were
tired and depressed by the losses inci
dent to the war, were indeed dishearten
ing. But we may not expect the iiext
year to be so unfavorable—and at the
present price of cotton we are unwilling
to believe that farming cannot be made
profitable at the prices usually demanded
by freedmen. Therefore we appeal to
our planting friends not to allow the
weight of past and present misfortune
to cause them to part with laborers who
are willing to remain on the old sod.—
Let it not be said that those who staid
faithfully with us during the war, and
helped to feed our families, and our sol
diers, and are still disposed to remain
and help to rebuild our shattered fortunes
arc leaving reluctantly for want of em
ployment. - ’ •
Female Preachers.—Our benighted
friends of the “city by the sea” iare, with
nil tln-ir misfortunes, favored now and
then with a benignant ray from the pale
star of destiny. Harlan has recently
been there for the purpose of fanning
the dim embers of loyalty into iff more
fervent heat, ana then they have a few
local blowers who are to assist in the
good work. The latest beam of civili
zation which has been vouchsafed to
them is from flic benignant countenances
of three Quaker dames from New Eng
land, named respectively Miss Sybil
Jones, of.,
Mary Metcalf, of Rhode Island, who
rtcentljtreashed the etfy un&sr the care
of Dr. Mendenhall, of Greensboro’, N.
C., and took quarters at the Charleston
Hotel. One of these Apostles, or rather
Apostlesses, announced that she would
prench at Trinity Church, in the even*
ing, and she did preach, to a very |arge j
congregation, and judging from the
comments of the News, she must be a
very fair preachist. Her munner wns
cool—she was from 'a cool country,
where Byron says the dames arc cooler
than they are farther South—her voice
clear and distinct, etc., etc., from which
we.infer that the News man was deci
dedly impressed—though he tries to dis
pel the illusion by declaring at the close
that the sermon was in no way remark
able. Wb should think any sort of a
sermon in Trinity Church, Charleston
Jcoyn n wandering spinster from ( New
‘Hn’glanfi, was in it Self sufficiently re
markable. The world moves.
Snop Lif'ting. —The art of appropria
tion—as Dr. Hines' used to call it'—is
being redneed to a science. Nearly
every day we hear of some attempt by
freedman to slip goods from tbe counters
while several confederates attract the
attention of the olerks. A case occurred
on yesterday in whTeh several pairs of
shoes, and ether goods, were taken from
the store of Davidson & Cos. The thief
was pursued -and the goods recovered.
Merchants cannot he too vigilant, and
evem all possible vigilance will mot
always avail to prevent the sihernes o*
these adroit negroes.

that an act of the Legislptnre will be
necessary to legalize some of the acts of
