It is the distinctive •'icb : 'ic of the civil’zition of the Ana o v n race 'lha foundation Rtone of the coc. ulitmal government of Great Britain —it is ' ' nee th* pride ot it* people and the safe rd of their liberty. Tran-planted by the Miin's from tb" mother country, it became , as there the palladium of their lib— " 1 the groundwork of their Govern i ' 1 framers of the Constitution of the I erl s.a Incorporated in that master ■ burnt wis'lom. on express provision the all ctimes, except in cases of chnu nt, j )a jj jy jury; and such trial Ibo held f n w bere such crime , have b», n 00lurn j{i P( j ,e Cot: i osa 0 f ft n t.ho State* of the >n 'jtfain similar provisions. The people rout this great Republic have ever .od, with jealous eyes, every attempt to dyoor impair this sacred right. The ne ty fora continued and unceasing solicitude a preset vation is daily presented to ii* in Hurts which havo boon made, and are still g made, to evade this constitutional obli u by substituting a system of military s v.' oily unknown to our laws and inatitu t r, and subversive of th:j rights of the • l’>«- jealous were onr forefather* of any im ipnt of this privilege secured by Magna a, that the clause of ibo Constitution just and was convidered an Inadequate for the nd p- rfsct security of jury trial, and they tided in their State Conventions, which to ratify the Constitution, that farther ury rights should be secured to them ■ heir posterity. So strong was the fooling this subject Ihat the first Congress which u.d. t the new Constitution, prepared a . .incuts which would satisfy the jast de ft . sos the people lor further and fuller B tards. These amendments were, we be y unanimously ratified by tho several , pi and are now beiowe a part of the Con ion. The following are some of the most ..npurtnnt of these provisions : “No person shall bo held to answer for a or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in casts arising in the land or naval forci s, or in the militia, when in actual ter vice in lime of war or public danger.” ♦ * * ‘•Nor Is deprived ot life, liberty or property, Without due process of law.” * * * “Iq all crim'u il prosecutions the accused shall enjoy the right to n speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury ot the Stute and district wherein th** crime shall have been committed.” e o o "And to have the ass stance ol counsel for his defence ” Tho frequent mock trial* by military com inrn, lous of persoD* not in tho land or naval loruoH of tho I totted States, cannot be justified, eliiierby the terms of the OonHlitiition or tiro laws of the land made in pursuance thereof. They huve been held in open and express vio- I roll of all constitutional provisions, und are a disgrace to the Government, and an engine o oppression to the peoplo. We hesitate not to say tint every execution which has been or dered by tboso tribunals, have been nothing less than extra judicial murders. Tho courts of th" country, whi n tho roign of pission and pryuilio* shall have ceased, will, wo doubt not, hoid all those who have participated in those mock trials accountable to tho laws for their doedi< of blood aud violence. The day is coming, anil perhaps not fur diß - taut, when tho sober second sense of the coun try will demand that investigations be had into the history and conduot ol these bloody tribu nals. it will be renumbered thal tho out raged people of France were finally aroused to u du* übhoirence ot the cruel deeds of Kobrs pluiru Mini I>niton ciiiunitied tn the sacred name of ibeity; ami that a retribution, sharp, fearful and just, fell upon them and their sups pie tools. Already have the courts in some ot the States begau the work of these military trials. The indications are that their coudemuuliou will bo /‘ull, compute aud dt> tlded. «|Wo have into this train of thought y the tic days since upon the presentation iik a memorial praying Congress that Mr. Da ™ he tried by a Court Martial at Washington We learu that Mr. ttumuer, in presenting tho memorial, (signed, it Is said, by one inau, and he a negro,) raid : express no opinion on the subjeot; but, now that it is before in, 1 will add that the trial of Jeff. Davis, at the present time, by a jury at Kichmoud, will be one ot those great comedies which will hercalter excite thj derision of the world.” The trial by jury endeared to us l>y ttye sacred recollections of the past, and secured by the express provisions of the fundamental laws of the land, is styled by this fanatical descendant of Salem witch-burners, a "great comedy," one which this bloodthirsty knave aud hypocrite says “will horeulter excite the derision of the world. Mr. Sumner, is no ordinary man. He is the faithful and true ex ponent of the views of a large clash of crazy Radicals, who, having had a taste of blood, in satiably cry for more. To accorap’ish their hellish objects they aro willing, uot cnlv to tear down tire legal obstacles which beset them in the right to trial by jury; but they even go further, and denounce this humane provis iou of law as .1 farce, exciting tho derision of the world, merely because It stands a mighty barrier between them and &e object of their fiendish malignity. The i.aqg! Tax. Thera seems to be a very general mLappre heiisiou as to theexteut of the above tax. A Croat many of our people are fearful lest this tax will swallow up all their available means. The wiblest rumors are afloat iu relation to it, it being asserted iu some localities to bo five per ( of. upon the value, and in others two anti a half, ami then, wo know that the great est anxiety is felt by tax-pa)era on this subject, nutl wo ate gltui to have it in our power to cor rect the mistakes upon this matter antler which our people are laboring. From S. A. Van coos'. Esq., the very polite and t uutlemanly Collector at this place, we losru that no laud tax is due the United States Government except for the year 1801. Tho amount of tax duo for that year is one third cf one per cent aud no more. The assessment is mule noon the valuation fixed upon tho pro* petty by the tax-payer in his State tax returns for 1800. Thera never baa been but one year laud tax exacted by the United States Govern ment that for 1861. The law fixing a tax upon real estate was repealed very soon after its pas ace, and hence we are relieved from the serious burden which our people thought they had to bear. Evert cme can tell what his land tax is. Let him take his State tax returns tor 1860 and see the valuation there fixed upon his real es tate, and theu one-third of one per ceut. is the amount he is due the Government. Tne law exempts from taxation homesteads of the value of fivtJ’bundred dollars and under, lienee, any one whose name is not worth more than live hundred dollars pays no tax at all. Wo are glad to learn through Mr. Pancoastt that the people have responded so promptly to the call for the payment of this tax, we are in formed that ot the large amount due for taxes here less than twenty-five hundred dollars re mains as yet unpaid. This speaks well for pur community. We are glad to be able to state that it is the intention of the Tax Commissioner of this Slate not to call on those portions of the State which have been overrun by Sherman’s army until ail the balance of the State has been fin i-hod. This is kind and considerate. It yvil' enable the people in the desolated d:s*::cts to make a crop wherewith to pay this tax. If the Government of the Unit'd States w .uld at once publish their law?, in the press of the State, it would remove manv serous and grave errors under which our peop ; e are labor ing, and tend to the restoration of confidence la and respect for the Government in no vtnil* degree. We hope that the Washington officials will at once take steps to give the people an ofliior unity of informing them.selves upon the laws. Affairs In the Saulh. Under this caption, a correspondent, of the New York Times, writes a long letter from Macon, Ga., on the 14th nit., about matters aud things in general, all of which ss favorable to Southern loyalty—(rom which we make the following extract: J war present yesterday at a most interest ing and i:iipres-:ive ceremony, which deserves special notice as illustrative of the feeling ot the white for the Idaok lace, and of the sin cere desire of the former to promote as far as possible tbe temporal and spiritual welfare ot the hitherto dependent bondsmen. Ihe occasion was the ordination by the’ Presbytery of three colored men a * Presbyte rian ministers, to lake pastoral charge of ex • ciusiveiy colored congregations who had pe titioned lor separate organization under their own minister and government. The cordial and prompt manner in which their request was granted; the earnest interest manffesied by the clergymen and laymen on whom the executive duly devolved; the intelli gence and theological knowledge of the c-.ti ll urates for ordination, as displayed in their discourses delivered as a test of their qualifi cations; the order and becouiiua demeanor pf the large as-emblage of color'd people wli came to witness tho ceremony, and the charges of the Presbyterian clergymen appointed to address the new pastor* of their flock; wer ; all very gratifying, aud afforded cheering promise of iha future relations of the two races, if lelt to themselves. Oae of tho candidates for orders was a r.cgro matt named Robert, born a slave in the family of Hon. llowell Cobb, and although nominal ly an involuntary servant, in fact as free all his life as he is r.ow, having early learned the trade of a wheelright and carriageuraUsr, aud for many years one of the best and most skillful of his trade in this city, protected aud encour aged by bis late master on ail occasions. Among the most Interesting feature of the proceedings was the presence of Uov. Cobb who, after the ceremony, was tho first to take Robert by tbe baud aud cODgratuidto him on it’s elevation, and tho evident gratification which the trow minister lolc and expressed at lire pretence and good will ol his foiliter own er. The two other colored ministers were men of like standing and character, and have for lor tomo years been preachers or exhorteru, but unqualified to administer the communion, solemnize matrimony, or perform the other I unctions ot an ordained clergyman. Num hers of gentlemen ot position aud influence were present, and one of the Presbytery, an eminent lawysr, advanced in lile and in very feeble health, traveled over a hundred miles in Iris buggy to take part in tho ordination. These are the true signs of the times. These aro the teal indications of the toolings of the two races for each other. No Civil Rights Bill required this action ; no political advano tage could havo been derived from it; no com pulsory process could havo enforced it; no Freedman's Bureau had anytbiug to do with it ; and there cannot be a more positive proof of tho confidenee of the colored peoplo in the justice and good will of the whites, and of the readiness of the latter to help and encourage the colored people to improve then- conditiou. Siuce tho removal of the colored troops tho peace and good order of this busti:i)g little city havo been undisturbed. The garrison is now composed of Uniied States regulars, un h r command of Copt. Cochran, and a more peac. - able, orderly, inoffensive body of men cannot be found Except walking about as citizens and only recognizable by their bine jackets and brass buttons, tlrcir presence would not be known. Opt. Cochran, commanding the post, 1 a* won the respect und confidence ot the whole people by his firm and impartial discharge ol his duty aud by the manitestation ol hrs pur pose not to give offence to any by undue exercise of arbitrary power, tutmltiiug a-aertion of author— ly, or the many uncalleiKfor acts of oppressive, and bum'listing hardship which everybody, sriys marked khe course ot his immediate i>re- office. Non intervention aud irons interference by Federal officers, in matters re lating to white peopfb aud lretdraen, except to prevent wrong or do justice not otherwise obtainable, are certainly the true all who failblully desire harmony, and the mutual benefit of botli races. It is a fact piaiuly ob servable by any oue who tries to see the truth, that the further you go from bureaus and agents aud tho military posts, the more indus trious, happy, thriving, and content.''! do you find the colored people, lu towns whose “headquarters” are as thick as groceries, you find contention, crime, vagrancy, idleness, und the bad feeling which such a Btate of things naturally engenders, except in the rare in stances where men are entrusted with office who discharge the duties with prudence and kind tooling, like the commanding officers here. Columbia and Hamburg Railroad. Tho Edgefield Advertiser, of the 31st al luding to this road, Rays : There aro at present from 350 to 400 hands at work on this road, which force will bo short ly increased to 500. Tho contract for the bridge over tho Congareo at Columbia has been taken. The laying of the iron upon the track will be commenced about the Ist November next. Col. Wm. Johnston, tho able and widely known- President of the Road, ns also of the Columbia & Charlotte Road, accompanied by Col. Gardner, Chief Engineer of the former, have been lately in our midst, bending their united energies to the furtherance anu speedy accomplishment of their groat work. The high integrity and known rinancial ability ot the President stamp with success any measure with which ho allows his name to be associated, lie is plain, practical and earnest, and pos sesses in a remarkable degree the confidence of the entire public. Some time ago, when Col. Johuston’s name was lost associated with the Columbia & Ham burg Road, we had occasion to cast our eyes over a statement of the conditiou of the Char lotte Road. We ascertained the following facts. The annual income of the Road was about S2OO 000 ; and the nett income, after payment of all expenses, $190,000. The en tire cost of this Road was about $2,000,000 ; the yearly interest on which is $140,000, leav ing $50,000, nett profit to the Stockholders per aanum. Besides this, when Shermaa marched through the country, the Charlotte Road owned over 1000 hales of cotton, large number of negro slaves, and much other valua ble property. The Columbia & Hamburg Road will cost at a close estimate $1500,000 ; add it is a reason a bio to suppose that a great aud unavoidable thoroughfare from North to South, as this Road must necessarially be, will prove moie remunerative than the Charlotte Road. \Ve are fully awake as to how immeasurably Important to Edgefield District will be the completion of the Columbia & Hamburg Rail road. How immeasurably important in a monetary point of view, and a-so iu the way of convenience ! And we sincerely trust, that our cit’zjns Irom all parts ot the District wilt! meet Col. Johnston and Gardner ai Monday next, reedy to co-operate with them head and baud. Charleston Item-. ,*. Gen. Sickles, commander of tho Carolicss, arrived at Charleston from New York on the Ist.
