WAsTfcO Time.
Alone ir. (he chrk and «i>nt tiaiit,
Witn tlit- heavy thought ot a vatu-bed year.
When evil deeds corns buck to fight,
And good deeds nee with a welcome cheer;
Alone with the rpectres ot the i>*»t.
That come with the old year's dying chime,
There glooms one shadow dark and vast,
The Bhadow of Wasted Time.
The chances of happiness cast away,
The opportunities nev*-r sought,
The gooj resolvn tb it every dap
Have died in the impotence of thought :
The slow advance and the backward step
in the rugger] path we Lave strivea to climb;
How they iurrow the brow and pale the lip,
When wj talk with Wasted lime.
What are we now ? what had we boea
Had we boarded time with the misei’ 1 * B°’d,
Striving our meed to win, , .
Through the summer's heat, and winter 8 cold
Sbrink'ng from naught that tb'’ world could do;
Fearing naught but the touch of crime ;
Laboring, struggling, all seasons through,
And knowing no Was cd Time
Who shall recall the vaninbed years ?
Who shall ho and back this ebbing tide
That leaves us remorse, and shame, and tears,
And washes away all things beside ?
Who shall give us the strength e’en now
To leave forever this holyday rhyme;
To shake off this sloth from heart and brow,
And battle with Wasted Time?
The years that piss come not again,
Th • things that die no life renew ;
• But e’en from the rust of his cankering chain
A guide" truth is glimmering through ;
That to him who learns irom errors past,
And turns away with strength sublime,
And makes each year out do the last,
There is no Wasted lime.
The people of some sections of Illinois are
using corn for fuel. The low price obtained
will not pay to haul it to market.
The Secretary of State has been officially no
tified that the Constitutional ameudunnt baa
been ratified in Indiana.
• SMILE AND BE CONTENTED.
The world grows old, and men grow cold
To each while seeking treasure,
Arid what with want, and care, and toil,
We scarce have time for pleasure,
But never mind, that is a loss,
Not much to he be lamented;
Lite rolls on gaily if we will
But smile and be contented.
If we are poor and would be rich,
It will not he hy pinning;
No ! steady hearts and hopeful minds
Arc life’s bright silver lining,
There’s ne’er a man that dared to hope,
Hath of his choice repented ;
The happiest souls on earth are those
Who suiiie and are contented.
When grief doth come to rack the heart,
And fortune bids us sorrow,
Fiom hope we may a blessing reap,
And consolation borrow.
* If thorns will rise where roses bloom,
It cannot be prevented ;
So make the be t oi life you can,
And smile and he contented.

Coal Oil—Where Tound —Newspaper wri
ters cbustautly speak of petroleum, or coal oil,
“so called,’’ as if it were actually expressed
from coal itself and found uuderlyiug it We
know not whether ih.s oil is ever obtained
lrom under coal —having paid comparatively
little attention to the subject —but we do know
th At. the most valuable oil wells in’Virginia, or
rather West Virginia, are located on Burning
Spring run, in Wirt county, and that, In boring
the hu id reds of welis which lino the sides ol
that little stream, no coal was ever discov
ered. The la r ge deposits of coal in the
neighboring regi ns may be the source of the
supply for aught that we know ; but if so, some
of the most distinguished geologist iu that re-'
giou are very mum at fault. Professor Den
ton, the Slate geologist of Ohio, has given it’
as his opinion that it is coral oil. Other per
sons t ink lint it it is a natural oil, and that
there is no more reason to suppose it to have
been expre-sed rom coal or coral lhan there is
for believing that the salt water which is
often pumped up with it comes from solid salt
The welis on Burning Spring run aro witnin a
few yards ot each other, and yet they vary in
depth from one hundred and titty to three bun
dred feet, or more, proving that there is no
common basin from which the supply is ob
tained, hut that it ii ‘‘stiuck,’’ like in veins :
and proving moreover, that, on the theory that
the oil comes from coal, it would be extremly
difficult to account for its presence in these
veins. At any rate, “there is no new thing
under the sun.” ’ Job s**ys, “Oh that I were as
in days past when I washed my feet in butter
and the rocks poured me out rivers of oil.”
And we have seen it seriously contended that
the tower ot DaDel was built out of “oil bricks,’’
made out of the very article under consider

First—l’he notes are to te redeemed by the

sums less than five hnndred dollars or even
multiples of that amount.
Second—Mutilated notes whicli* have beeD

by the bank th it issued ibt m. provided that all
the tiagments are returned and the engraving
or signatures are not so far obliteiated that it
c mnot be determined by what banks the notes
were issued.
Thiid- Fragments should be redeemed by
banks in full when accompanied by an affidavit
stating the cause aud manner of inutiiatiou, ana
that the m s-ug part of the note is totally de
etoyed. lira jioog chuacter of the sffiini
should also be fully vouched for by the officer

Gen. Howard’s Report.— The telegraph dis

Howard’s Report:
Gen. Howard in his Official Report, slates
tba* on enteriog upon she discharge of his
duties, he separated the Lureau in four divls
eions—one ot Lauds, another of Financial Af
fairs, one of R-c >rd, and one ot the Fourth
Medical Department. To eacii of these tiivis
sions no as-igaed au efii ,’er aad setu-.cd the
required number of clerks by appointin'at
and by detad irom the ranks of the army. C.?-
iuretbe organization of the Bateau freeduiea's
affairs had bc-eu ent. usted to diflerent officers
o* the Government, thereby causing a diversity
of system in and fferent localities. A few As
sistant Commissioners were appointed and sent
to different States to organize Bureaus aad
complete the work already begun.
Just as far as the safety of effort would al
low the Assistant Commissi' ner procured r.
citizen and military lor each district,
C uuty and parish. Evident kodiliiy of a por
tion of the citizens, and their ability iu the
absence of troops and civil law io outrage or
take the life of au Agent, hindered the ext cod'
ingot operations except by occasionil inspec
tion by an ( fficer in connection with .a patrol.
The-geterai acknowledges the hearty support
of most of the Department Commanders iu or ■
ganizieg and carrying out the plans ol the
Bureau.
The tenure of the Bureau upon abandoned
property is regarded the same as that possess
ed by an actual, owner except that said prop
erty may be restored by any c impotent au
thority to the lormer owner. A comparative
ly insiynificarit am ount of property is u -ed as
quarters for teachers and officers connected
with the Bureau and hospitals. With
these exceptions, all, property in the
hands of the Bureaus is held as a means of
revenue, by order of the -President The
work of restoration has progressed very rap
idly, and it is probable that when the war
terminates little or no property will remain
under the control of the Bureau. By this
policy of restoration, the expectation of iieed
inen that the land would be consigned to them
have been disa;pointed, and difficulty has
arisen thereby, but has been overcome with
comparative ease. Much embarraesm ut, aui
much actual suffering has resulted from the
restoration of property in use. Much more
will result from the curtailment o tne Bureau.
It one five huudreth part of the amount of
laud in the insurrectionary Stales had even
been held, and the plan of consigning it to
been carried cut, the Bureau
would have been able to furnish an acre per
family.
Experience has shown that 3s a general rule
it is better to leave the price of labor to be
regulated by the demand. Schools have been
established, but the hostility c-f the white peo
ple to them is undisguised. Congress, wkeu
it created the Bureau, made no appropriation
to de'ray the expenses. It has, however, re
ceived funds from mi-cellaneous sources to the
amount of $178,363: deducting the amount
held as retained bounties, $45 233, and balance
on hand, October 31st, 1805, was available to
meet the liabilities.
The Lamar Cotton Case. -The Savannah
Herald of December 27, contains a report ol
the first day’s proceedings in t'no Lamar cotton
case. We copy a portion of them, which will
give our reade.s an idea of the charges pre
ferred against Measrß. Lamar by the Govern
ment :
The Military Commission engaged upon the
trial of Mr. G B JTatnar, was organized yester
day under the orders of M.cj’Gen Braauan, be
ing the same as that emp'o/ed in the lat- trials
of Bradley and General Mercer. Captain
Watroug, 103 Regiment, U SC T is the Judge
Advocate, and is assisted by Capt Thompson,
12th Maine Regiment, as legal adviser.
Mr Lamar appeared with Messrs Loyd and
Harfridge, of this city, as counsel
Upon the op miug of the court Mr. Lunar
was formally arraigned and the charges and
specifications were read to him,
CHARGIS.
The charges are iu substance as follows :
Ist. Oharg ng G B Lamar with conspiracy
with James L Seward, Arthur P Wright and G
B Lam ir, Jr . to eaibi zz'e government cotton
2d. Charging him with unlawfully appro-
§^e?' Uoa ’' wi: h
3d. Chaging him with at emoting to bribe
various military and civil U S officials, among
whom are named Col W K Kimball, 12’h
Maine Vola , Major G A Hastings 12th Maine
Vols% A G Browne, Jr., Trea'sury Agent, ana
W A Beard. government contractor.
The spreifi rations which enumtrate instances
sustaining the above general charges, chief
among which is the unlawful appropriation
of a lot of cotton —97 bales miike-d B—we fiud
it impossible to make room for in full.
After the reading of the charges and speci
fications, the accused, through bis counsel, of
fered a plea to the jurisdiction of the court de
nying that it hid authority to try the case.
The room was cleared and the court delib -
erated with closed doors upon the pl*a. Af
ter deliberation, the court announced that the
plea was overruled and that the trial would
proceed.
The defendant then*plead “Not guilty.”
The case was at once opened by the govern
ment.
Captain L BuaneU, U S Detective, was called
:-.s ihe first witness.
He testified that he was at Thomasville, Ga,
during the latter part of November, under
military orders; that ibere, on November 29rh,
tie was present at the office of A G Browne, Jr,
U S Treasury Agent, when a conversation oc
curred between Mr Browne and MrG B Lamar,
Jr. In consequence of certain statements
made by Mr Lamar, in which conversation he
ilr Bunnell -later in the forenoon arrested
Mr Lamar, Jr, and seized his papers.
Certain papers s«izid at this time were hero
indentffied by Captain Bunnell, and put into
ihe case for the government.
Capt B innell further testified that he then
came to Savunuah, and on December 2d,
under orders from Major General Rrannan,
arrested Mr. G. B Lamar, Sr., aad seized cer
tain of his papers.
These papers also were then put into the
case by the government, and the reading of
part of them consumed the r mainder of the
session.
Here follows the publication of a series of
letters from Mr. G. B. Lamar, Jr., from Thom
asvilie, Ga.,tohis uncle, Mr. G B. Lamar,
Sr., at Savannah, which were seized by the
government at the time of the arrest of the
latter, and are now produced in the prosecu
tion.

OFFICIAL ORDERS
BUREAU OF REFUGEES F. AND A. D. )
Offrb Act., Ass’t Com., Statb of Ga , l
Augusta, Ga , December 22, 1865. )
circular I
No. 5. f
In answer to numerous inquiries, the follow
ing is published for the information and guid
ance ol Officers and Agents of this Bureau.
I. This Bureau does not propose to support
or remove from the plantations, or homes of
their late masteis, the ht-lpless and deerepid
fired people or young children. It the former
have children who arc able to support them,
they roust be required to do so, if not, there
is no other alternative but that .their former
owneis shall provide for them until the State
makes provision for their support. The
parents of the latter, if able, must support
them, if not, Agents will endeavor to bind
them out, together with* orphans and those
whose parents can not be iouDd, as set forth
in Circular No. 3, from this office.
It must be apparent to the people that it is
impiacticab'e, if not impossible, for the Bu
reau to remove and provide for the very large
number of destitute and helpless freed people
who are scattered throughout the State* Be
sides, it should be remembered, that there was
an implied contract between the master and
hi« slave, that in return for bis service the
slave should be fed, clothed and lodged, dur
ing his old age, and where the former slave
has lulfilled tho conditi ns of the contract on
his part, the former master is not absolved
from his obligations, by the freedom of tbe
slave, for which the latter is in no way respon
sible. Honor and humanity require that the
former master shall rot attempt to escape from
or evaio his responsibilities. Even 6uch cel
ored people as are able, ’oy their labor, to pro
vide for their old, worn out parents, have a
right to expect that the former owners of the
parents, will, if able, assist them in bearing
this burden.
Justice requires ihls. It would be shameful
to impost the entire burden upon those whose
only means of support is their labor. Very
few persons have been found in ihe State, and
they by no means the most estimable, who do
not rtgard the matter in the light stated.
If. In upper and middle Georgia, where the
land is comparatively poor, and but a small
quantity of cottjja or com can be raised to the
acre, planters ester from twelve to thirteen
dollars per month, with board and lodgiog, to
full male, and eight to ten dollars to full
female field hands, the laborer to furnish his
own clothing and medicines. Along the coast
and in Southwestern Georgia, and in oiher por
tions of the State, where good crops of cotton
rice, corn or sugar can be raised, planters offer
fifteen dollars per month, board and lodging,
to full male, and ten dollars to full female
field hum s« In all portions Os the State, plan
ters are found who prefer to give a portion of
the crop,, which, with a favorable season,
would probab'y give the laborer a sum equiv
alent to that above mentioned. Usually, they
offer from one third the gross to one half the
net proceeds. They are at liberty to pay
money or a Dortion ot the crop as may be
prefered by the parties.
111. Freed people who have sufficient prop
erty, or are so situated that they can support
themt-elv. sand families, without making con
tracts for their labor, have the right to refuse
to make contracts and must be protected in
this right ; but in all other cases, [comprising
the vase m j irity ot the freed people] it is ab
solutely necessary that they make contracts, to
ensure a supply of food and escape starvation
the coming year. It is also imperatively
necessary ihat contracts, to ensure a supoly of
food aad escape starvation the coming year.
It is also imperatively necessary that contracts
be made iu time, to prepare for raising crops
the ensuiDg season.
Freed people have the right to select tbeir
own employers ; but if they continue to neg
lect or refuse to make contracts then, on and
after J rnuary 10. b, 1866, officers and agents
of the Bureau will have the right, and it "shall
be their duty to make contracts for them, in
all cases where employers offer good wages
and kind treatment unless the freed people be
long to the class above excepted, or can show
that they cud .obtain better terms. Contracts
so made shall be as biuding on both parties as
through ti e full consent of the freed people.
IV. Article IT, of the amendments to the
Constitution of the United States, give3 the
people the right to bear arms, and states that
this right “shall not be infringed.” Any per
son, white or black, rjay be disarmed ir con
victed of making an improper and dangerous
use of weapons ; but do military cr civil offi
cer has the right or authority to disarm any
class of people, thereby placing them at the
mercy of others. All men, without dis'.inction
of color, have the right to keep arms t« de
fend their homes, families or themselves.
V. AU persons arf forbidden to tamper with
or entice laborers to leave their employers be
fore the expiration of their contracts, either
by offerirg higher wages or other inducements.
Officers and agents will punish by fine or oth
erwise, any ptrjon who may be convicted of
such acts.
The public interest requires that 'labor be
made reliable and profitable, and so long as
the freed laborer it well paid and kindly treat
ed, this Bureau wiil not tolerate any interfer
ence with the rights and interest of employers.
