We regret to see that these ekirts, which have for some time been " all the rage" at the North, are gradually making innovations upon the here tofore modest attire of our ladies. A young poet of a neigh boring city, like us, disgusted with this "latest style," remonstrates in the following feeling lines, which have been kindly furnished us. If they will cause just one of our fair readers to throw aside the Tiltareen, they have not been written or published in vain : NE PLUS ULTRA, OB THE TILTAREEN 1 " The Empress Trail IIoop Skirts," immortalized in the following stanzas, arc commonly known as "Tiltabeens." When artless girls not out of their teens Are parading the streets in their tiltareens, They enter, perhaps a dry goods store, Amf brushing by some obstruction before, Th tilting-niaciiines fly up behind, And charms, 'till then, to the dark confined, Arc plumply exposed to the curious eyo of Tom, Dick, or Harrv, passing by, Who can sec, Dear Ladies, eves so man I Some men there may be who would not glance At your garters unveiled by abt or by chance : A few may modestly look away From the tempting wares your hoops display : Some may think but of hose not what they enclose Of what is revealed not what is concealed As yet, from the vulgar glare of day ; Jiut these are few and far between, And many a look and jest obscene Tilts up with a tilting tiltareen ! Could you see behind as well as before You would wear a tiltareen no more You would blush at the thought of being seex Too much from sporting a tiltareen I We will not love you a whit the lees Tor hiding a bit of your loveliness, So though they now are "all the rage" Witli "Mhule inarms" of a doubtful age, Lot yankecs wear their own machines, Le.ivc leave to them the tiltareens !

Extract from tue Ibisu Melodies. We produce this morning another extract from the Irish Melodies. It is from the pen of Mr. McCreery, and written in imitation of the German Watchman Song : THE AVATCIIES OP THE NIGHT. 10 O'clock. . How widely night her shadows flings, O'er forest, mountain, billowy deep ! Ten thousand worlds ride on her wings, And through the gloom majestic sweep. 11 O'clock. As when the gaudy flowers of May, Along the verdant meadows blow, So seem the sparkling gems that play, And through the lofty concave glow. 12 O'clock. 'Tis cold on tiptoe silence stands, No tread of foot the silence breaks ; But strong as fate's embattled bands, The eye of God forever wakes. 1 o'clock. Hark I hark! 'tis one one solemn sound! Another day to man is given ; So God's last trumpet will resound To burst the grave, and call to Heaven. 2 O'clock. Twice winged the morning hours have fled, Although her beauties don't appear, But by the God of nature led, She blushing comes our souls to cheer. 3 O'clock. Dread horrors stalk'd amid the shades Thrice tolls the clock amid the gloom ; Bright hope our vision's sweet pervades Fear flies and phantoms seek the tomb. 4 O'clock. The Cock's loud Clarion greets the morn, Which soon shall come, young, rosy, gay, While industry, with plenty's horn, Awakes to bless the bounteous day. 0 O'clock. Since midnight drear hath past away, Five hours the faithful watchman trod His weary rounds Lo 1 cheerful day ! Bo just, O man, and trust in God. Austria A Sketch of Her Generals. The Salute Public of Lyons, gives the subjoined skeU-li of the leading Austrian Generals : The really distinguished leaders of the Austrian army are few in number, and nearly all well ad vanced in years. They served in 1812 and 1813 under Trince Schwartzenburg, made the campaign of Hungary in 1810, that of Italy against Charles Albert, and that of 1859, the most important of them all. In case of war those who appear destin ed to the principal commands are the following : The Archduke Albert, son of the immortal Prince Charles, Marshal Henry do Hesse, Benedek, Schwartzenburg and Clam Gallis. Marshal de Hesse is seventy-three years of age, spare in person, and of active mind and habits. His career dates from the battle of Wagram, in which he took a part, being then in his seventeenth year. It was he who decided the Austrian victory over the Piedmontese in 1818, by the strategical movement from Verona, and he took a very active part in the battle of Movora. The Italians regard him as a formidable enemy, and admit that he gave them no little trouble. Prince Schwartzenburg is tall, well made and very vigorous, notwithstanding his 72d year. In 1818 he commanded a division of cavarly in Italy; he distinguished himself at battle Camorn, in Hungary, by preventing, with his division, the insurgents from debouching on the right bank of the Danube. At the battle of Magenta he com manded the third corps tFarmee, with which he covered the retreat of the Austrians. At Solferi no he was in tho left wing, opposed to General Niell. He was one of the most brilliant officers of the Austrian army, and is also an author. Marshal Benedek is only fifty-eight. While a colonel, in 1818, fought in the campaign against the Piedmontese. In 1859 he commanded the eighth corps at San Nartino. Since Badetsky's death he has been first warrior of Austria. It is probable that he will be charged. :to oppose the Prussians. The life of Count ' Clam-Gallas has been very active ; he has shared in all the wars of Austria since 1818. In Hungary however, he only succeeded in vanquishing the aged General Bern through the aid of the Bussians. At present he commands the first corps of the Austrian army at Prague. We must not omit to mention General Gablentz, who commanded the Austrians in the war against Denmark, and General Bamming, to whom Aus tria was indebted in the Hungarian campaign for the decisive success obtained at Temesvar. A Murderer Identified. New York, July 2. Dennis Eagan has been identified in Brooklyn, by the sheriff of Schuyl kill county, Pennsylvania, as the murderer of Ro bert Gardnerin 1864. Eagan and his wife will be taken to Pennsylvania. From New Oilcan. New Orleaxs, July 2. Generals Steadmen and Fullerton, commissioners to investigate the affairs of the freedmen's bureau, and a corps of corres pondents, have arrived. Two justices Lave been arrested at Vidalia, Louisiana, one under the civil rights bill, and have, been brought hero for trial. AY Y0L. 22. STATE NEWS. Supreme Court.

In Simmons vs. Simmons, in equity, from Watauga, decretal order reversed. The Lutheran Synod of North Carolina, at a late session, had a lengthy discussion of a resolu tion to re-unite with the old General Synod of the North. The question was finally decided in the negative, by a vote of two to one. There were several reasons for their opposition to re-union. The old arrangement was such as to render the Southern Synods mere auxiliaries to the absorb ing enterprises of the Church in the North, both as respects means and ministers. Since the war teiminated, the Northern Lutherans have indulged in the same offensive language which some North ern Methodists have repeatedly uttered, to their own discredit, against the members of the Meth odist Episcopal Church South. The above-named Synod appointed a Committee to correspond with clergymen in Protestant Ger many, for the purpose of procuring and facilita ting direct immigration from Germany to North Carolina. This plan originated with Rev. Mr. Aldrich, of Charlotte, and meets with public favor. Leg Bail. We learn, from the Asheville Neics, that as Buncombe Court was waning on Saturday week last, Lis Honor, Judge Merrimon, overruled the motion of Andy's counsel (Andy was convicted during the first part of the week, of arson,) for a new trial, and passed sentence upon the defend ant that he be taken from the jail of Buncombe county, on the 27th of July next, and be hung by the neck till he was dead. The counsel prayed for and obtained an appeal, but Andy had more confidence in his legs. As the Sheriff was carry ing him to jail the prisoner struck him a blow just at that tender point where the head and neck join, which so stunned the Sheriff, as to give Andy a chance for his life, and thereupon he dusted. An Error. A correspondent of the New York Watchman, writing from Hillsboro', in this State, awards Gen. Ruger great credit for having issued " a soothing order, directing the Government of fices to be closed in Raleigh on the 10th of May, in respect to Jackson and the Southern dead." The statement is a mistake. No such order was issued. Raleigh Sentinel. Personal. We understand that Bill Arp, the famous letter-writer of Georgia, was in our city on Saturday. Maj. Gen. Daniel E Sickles, also arrived here Saturday, by the Goldsboro' train. Salutes were fired in honor of the distinguished military com mander. Raleigh Progress. The cotton blossoms are comming in. Mr. J ehu Foster has sent in one gathered on the 30th of June. Cotton blooms are nearly a week earlier this year than they generally are. Salisbury Banner. Wake County. We learn that in the portion of Wake county, lying East of Raleigh, the corn crop promises a good yield, and the rich low grounds next to creeks are now beginning to tas sel. On the larger plantations for about six miles square, where for the past six years, corn was al together planted, there is but little corn, and as great brerdth has been put in cotton as ever be fore. The cotton is not yet in bloom but many of the forms will bloom this week. Standard. Executed. Charles Parks, a freedman, was ex ecuted in this ijlace on Friday last for murdering his wife. A very large concourse of negroes ironi the surrounding country gathered to witness the execution, together with a number of whites, but the day passed off without disturbance of any sort. The civil officers took the necessary pre caution to organize and arm a strong police force, and would have been ready to suppress any dis order, but we learn that all classes behaved with so much decorum that there wa3 no interference on tho part of the police with any one. Charlotte Democrat. A Brave North Carolinian. A South Carolina officer furnishes a tribute to a North Carolina sol dier, which we must give in our own words, as his paper has been unfortunately misplaced : At the first battle of Fredericksburg, Ransom's North Carolina brigade was ordered to reinforce Cobb at the celebrated stone wall, which Burnside, like Fremont and Sheridan, tried to capture, and with the same success. As soon as the brigade appeared, more than a division of the enemy opened a terrific fire upon it, and the batteries on the other side rained their shot and shell with the most deadly precision. The men were pushed with all rapidity to the precipice back of the wall, and then, without a moment's hesitation, they sprung down it to find shelter behind the walls. But a dignified mountaineer of the twenty-fifth North Carolina regiment refused to run at all, and walked forward with the most leisurely indiffer ence. His hat blew off. He went back and picked it tip. His knapsack, probably hit by a ball, fell off. He stooped down, readjusted it, and went on. He was now the solitary target for more than a thousand rifles ; but this did not quicken his pace. When ho reached the precipice he deter mined not to risk the leap, preferring to slide down gently. He did slide down, but it was as a dead man he reached the bottom. He was buried that night, and there was not an inch of his body which was not pierced by a ball. Land We Love. Western Nosth Carolina. From Morganton to Asheville, the travel at present is both slow and expensive ; but then the traveler has ample time to contemplate the grandeur and gorgeousness of the scenery. Nature has lavished favors in every possible and conceivable manner. The climate is inimitable. Pure, limpid and cold streams, gush ing from a thousand hills, fertilize the valleys, stimulate the growth of vegetation and clothe the forest with a deep rich verdure. The whole coun try west of the Blue Ridge is destined, if fostered by liberal and wise legislation, to become exceed ing prosperous. A dense population can be sus tained. Wealth will be eliminated from sources yet undeveloped and unnamed. The grasses and cereals can be produced almost without limit in the valleys and on the table lands. Herds of stock of all kinds abound and are thrifty, and may be increased to an extent to folly compensate indus I. WILMINGTON, N. C, THUKSDAY MOENINGr, JULY 12, 1866. try and enterprize, and sufficient water power 1 exists to drive all the machinery of this conti nent. The mineral resources, in extent and abundance, cannot be easily comprehended. Irish potatoes, cabbage, apples, peaches, pears, cherries, grapes, strawberries, blackberries, and raspberries abound in profuse abjondance, and under careful culture, equal any grown in the world. The completion of the Rail Roads to the Duck town mines and along the margin of the French Broad to the Tennessee line, will be the era for a new and glorious career for this country. The imagination of the most sanguine falters in con templating the mighty volume of prosperity for the old North State that will follow the comple tion of this enterprize. The people are submissive, peaceful and quiet. Judge Merrimon, this week, is closing the Spring term of his courts for this circuit. Ho has made an impression, both on the bar and the people, every way favorable. His fine personal appear ance, his amiable and dignified manner, hislearn ing, his unswerving sense of justice, his lucid ex position of the law, as held by ancient as well as modern jurisprudence, challenge the admiration and respect of the bar and draw towards him, in confidence and esteem, the entire population. The administration of justice now is no easy task. Society has been for five long years in chaos. Law has been suspended and defied, and desola tion hr.s been rampant ; penetrating every com munity and all circles. It is really wonderful to witness how rapidly law and order are resuming their sway. It must be that this people are raised up by Almighty power and endowed by Omni scient wisdom for such an exhibition. Provisions of every kind are exceedingly scarce and there is really no money, and yet the people in this section divide with one another and keep off in a surprising manner hunger and suffering. It appears to your correspondent almost an im possibility for the people to respond to tax collec tors. There, however, prevails a gratifying ru mor that the Federal Government has for the present suspended the collection of taxes on lands. If this be true, there remains some hope that the people' may pay a portion of the State taxes at least, but if both claims are simultaneously en forced, many happy homes will have to be sacri ficed. Indeed, this must follow the collection of even the taxes levied by the State. There is a fair prospect for summer crops. From observation, as well as from information obtained from the farmers, the belief exists that there will be gathered full half a crop of wheat and fair crops of oats and rye. The corn crop promises well, and although the weather has been unfavorable, the fruit crops will bo full half an average. Upon the whole we look with thankful hearts to the Giver of all good, and take courage. Ashville Cor. Raleigh Sentinel. Milton I found to be a lively little town, though to first appearance dead, and the people attending its funeral. The situation is pictu resque, the inhabitants extremely hospitable, and the ladies perfectly bewitching. Among such fair women and brave men, Hymen could not well be idle, and lie has been playing his usual pranks. I was invited to an old-fashioned country marriage, not one of the grand Diamond Weddings which are sometimes blazon ed in the papers, but a Golden Bridal, if youth, and love and happiness and a due proportion of worldly gear can gild life's pathw ay ; and I doubt if ever the most fashionable city nuptials present ed a larger proportionate arraj' of beauty, than graced the spacious parlor of our host that night. The two were soon made a happy one, Richmond was wedded to Love (and) Joy, and the evening was sjient in conversation, for the good people of this vicinity set their faces resolutely against danc ing. The crops generally in this section are good, and the tobacco erop so fine that I expect you will have to chronicle some tremendous prices paid by some of your tobacco princes for the next crop of "light North Carolina leaf," already so famous.

And nowhere, compar atively, are the fearful effects of war more patent and palpable than there. Of the many houses that were, only one or two remain. The large commodious hotel, and the beautiful cottage-like dwellings that crowned the knolls and precipitous bluffs, many of them embosomed in groves of live oak, that were festooned with vines, and fanned by the pure bracing atmosphere of the ocean, have, like many other things, yielded to the cruel rava ges of war ; and all that now remains are a few scattered, worthless fragments. How painful, to think that the accommodations, at this favorite summer resort, of so many of the once well-to-do Eastern North Carolinians and Virginians, have not survived the fearful wreck and ruin of the last few years. Had they, how many a diseased one, worn out in body and in mind, and sighing for health and recuperation, might have returned and found relief in those ex- ercises ana scenes wuiuu weia ov iuuujj ""u6u . in other, days." . ADDRESS OF THE DEMO CRACY IN CONGRESS TO THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES. lo the People of the United States : Dangers threaten the Constitution ! The cita del of our liberties is directly assailed ! The fu ture is dark unless the people will come to the rescue. In this hour of peril national union should be the watchword of every true man. As essential to national union we must maintain un impared the rights, the dignity, and the equality of the States, including the right of rejresenta tion in Congress, and the exclusive right of each State to control its own domestic concerns, sub ject only to the Constitution of the United States. After an uniform construction of the Constitution for more than half a century, the assumption of new and arbitrary powers in the federal govern ment is subversive of our system, and destructive of liberty. A free interchange of opinion and kind feeling between the citizens of all the States is necessary to the perpetuity of the Union. At present eleven States are excluded from the national councils. For seven long months the present Congress has persistently denied any right of representation to the people of these States. Laws, affecting their highest and dearest interests, have been passed without their consent, and in disregard of the fun damental principle of free government. This de nial of representation has been made to all the members from a State, although tho State, in the language of the President, presents itself not only in an attitude of loyalty and harmony, but in the persons of Representatives whose loyalty cannot be questioned under any existing constitutional or le gal test. The Representatives of nearly one-third of the States have not been consulted with reference to the great questions of the day. There has been no nationality surrounding the present Congress. There has been no intercourse between the repre sentatives of the two sections, producing mutual confidence and respect. In the language of the distinguished Lieutenant General : " It is to be regretted that at this time there cannot be a greater commingling between the citizens of the two sections, and particularly of those entrusted with the law-making power." This state of things should be removed at once and forever. There fore, to preserve the national Union, to vindicate the sufficiency of our admirable Constitution, to guard the States from covert attempts to deprive them of their true position in the Union, and to bring together those who are unnaturally severed, and for these great national purposes only, we cordially approve the call for a National Union Convention, to be held at the city of Philadelphia, on the second Tuesday, fourteenth of August next, and indorse the principles therein set forth. We, therefore, respectfully, but earnestly urge upon our fellow-citizens in each State, and Terri tory, and Congressional District in the United States, in the interest of union and in a sj)irit of harmony, and with direct reference to the princi ples contained in said call, to act promptly in the selection of wise, moderate and conservative men to represent them in said convention, to the end that all the States shall at once be restored to their practical relations to the Union, the Constitution be maintained, and peace bless the whole country.

Sol (tiers Requiring Artificial Limbs, and tlie "Wil mington and "Weldon Railroad. We present elsewhere the circular of Governor Worth to the maimed and disabled soldiers of North Carolina, who served in the Southern armies. By a late act of the General Assembly, these soldiers are to be furnished with artificial limbs at the expense of the State, and there breathes not an honest man in North Carolina who does not applaud this action of our State Legislators ; but while we approve the act, and deem it alike cred itable to the hearts and patriotism of our repre sentatives, we regret to learn that the limbs that are being manufactured are of an inferior quality, and unless improved, are likely to prove of no practical benefit whatever to those for whom they are intended. If, as is stated, the limbs are of a clumsy char acter, and from their construction painful to the wearer, then, some one is to blame for awarding the contract to incompetent manufacturers, and if those whose duty it is to inspect the work, shall suffer an inferior article to be palmed off on the State, at the expense of those unfortunate persons requiring artificial limbs, we trust they will be held up to the people in their true light. We make no charges now, we are merely anticipa ting from what rumor has whispered to us, and are truly averse to believing that there is a man in North Carolina so steeped in baseness, as to con nive and assist at cheating these poor men, who are really the losers by the war. We are well aware that very few contracts are let out by gov ernment, in which there is not a great amount of swindling, but this, we had supposed, was a mat ter appealing so directly to the better instincts of human nature, that no one, save a robber of grave yards or a resurectionists, would dream of any pecuniary gain whatever, in connection with iur- nishing our unfortunate heroes with limbs, where by they support, at best, a miserable existence. we snail, accordingly, as a auty, venuiaie very freely the men having charge of the artificial limb manufactory, if we find that justice demands such at our hands. We know that Governor Worth entertains for our disabled soldiers the kindest feelings of regard, has shown an interest in their behalf quite commendable in any one, and if there should appear any frauds in this matter, wo feel sure he is not responsible therefore, or a party thereto. Having corresponded with the managers of the various railroads of the State, the Governor in forms us in his circular, that he had received prompt assurance from each company, that each maimed soldier furnished with a proper certificate, should pass free to Raleigh and home again. We regret that duty compels us to say that this prom ise has not been observed by the Wilmington and Weldon railroad authorities. A gentleman of this place provided with the proper certificate, had oc casion to visit Raleigh for the purpose of obtain ing a limb, and was required to pay full fare, and was not treated by the conductor with that cour tesy, which, at least, he might have expected, in his unfortunate condition. The North Carolina road passed the gentleman free, going and return ing. We do not pretend to say that the managers of the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad was re sponsible for the conduct of its officer on this oc casion, but we do say that it was a very small business on the part of somebody, and it grows beautifully smaller in the Superintendent to re tain in the service of the company one who shows so little appreciation for an unfortunate fellow man. The Barracks, which the Governor says he has provided for the soldiers while waiting for their orders to be filled, are described as being very poor and uncomfortable. This should be seen to, and suitable accommodations furnished, and this being the duty of the Governor,, we shall refer to the subject again, if the proper steps are not soon taken to render the barracks comiortarie.

Suicide of Jim Lane, of Kansas Imputations of Corruption the Cause Rosseau will Probably be Expelled. Washington, July 2, 1866. The news of the suicide of Senator Lane, of Kansas, received here this morning, created con siderable shock among his large circle of friends and acquaintances, and elicited numerous expres sions of regret and sympathy. Though a man of strong and bitter temperament, he possessed many friends. He left here about two weeks ago, rather unwell ; and subsequently the Senate granted him leave of absence for the remainder of the session. The cause of the rash act has not yet come to light, but it is well known among the more inti mate friends of the deceased Senator, that certain charges of corruption which had been made against him in several of the Northern papers, had irritated him excessively, and he declared that he would not rest until the charges were proved to be false. It will be remembered that he made a personal explanation in the Senate just before his departure in regard to one of these newspaper ar ticles, and promised at no distant day to disprove the assertions there made. The impression in the House this afternoon, in regard to the Rosseau-Grinnell case, was that the report of the majority of the committee, which has been rendered in favor of the expulsion of General Rosseau, will be adopted. Before the committee General Rosseau frankly admitted that he premeditated and made the assault upon Mr. Grinnell for words spoken in debate ; that he re garded those words as outside the privileges of the House, which had failed to protect him, and that the utterances of Mr. Grinnell had seriously injured his military reputation before the country. Mr. Grinnell disclaimed any imputation of Gen eral Rosseau's courage as an officer ; said he felt called upon to deny certain assumptions of the latter, which he believed to be untrue, and that General Rosseau, both in the House and out of it, had assailed his name and reputation in an un justifiable manner. Little Joe Davis' Grave Letteb from his Mother. When it was proposed by certain estimable ladies of Richmond, and so heartily seconded by the chudren,to erect a marble tomb over the grave of our ex-President'a eon, Mrs. Davis was written to by a lady of Richmond for the record of his birth, death and age, and ehe replied under date of June 1(, 18GG. We have been permuted to make an interesting extract touching the subject. She writes thus feelingly : " I immediately wrote to Canada, for an extract from our family bible, which would render it impossible for us to make an error in the record. So many dreadful events have swept over us in the past two years, that we were afraid to trust our heart's memory. The record only came yesterday, hence the delay in answering your letter. Perhaps had I done so sooner, the inscription would not have been so touching and expressive as the one you sup plied. I become so unhinged when I think of our boy that my power of expressing my gratitude seem to be swallowed up in grief. "Will you tell these dear little children, 'The Boya and Girls of Richmond,' how dearly Mr. Davis and I prize their testimonials of love for him. How, if grief, love and gratitude were not so strong in our hearts, we could say more and perhaps give more adequate expressions to all these feelings which they have worked by their offering, conceived of such a spirit of tender love. I am, dear madam, Gratefully and auectionately yours, Vabina Davis. Mrs. Davis enclosed the record spoken of : "JOSEPH EVAN DAVIS, BORN MONDAY, APRIL 18TH, 1859, DIED SATURDAY, APRIL SOtH, 1864." The grave is to be enclosed bv an iron railing, and a subscription has been taken up to defray the expense. Another Good Story by "Brie It" Fomeroy A Dutch Philobene.

The Germans tell their troubles to me as chloro form is poured on a handkerchief to relieve the patient. One day while standing patting the neck of "Kitty," my running mare, an honest Teuton, who had seen service in the war, came up and said : "Ah, mynheer Bumroy, you here?" "Yaw, mynheer Sch wipes, I hear." "S-o-o! You busy dis morning? " No, Jacob, I'm never busy unless when I am busy."

The rows and disturbances between the whites and negroes in Charleston have become of weekly occurrence, taking place generally on tho Battery on Sunday evenings and are usually brought on by the negroes. The native Charleston negroes do not participate in, but on the contrary con demn the proceedings, which are the work of tho refugee negroes from the plantations, who, as here in Bichmond, have flocked into the city and the discharged negro soldiers. In view of the sloth and viciousness of tho ne gro population, General Scott, commanding in South Carolina, has found it necessary to issue the following order, the wisdom of which no one will deny, however much they may dispute its grammar : Headq'ks State of South Carolina, ) Charleston, S. C, Juno 20, 18GC. J General Orders No. 9. I. The Brevet Major-General Commanding has noticed, with deep regret, the disposition on tho part of the freedmen in the vicinity of Charleston and along the coast to disregard their agreements on the plantations, to the neglect of the crops, and to either lay idling about their houses, roam at large over the country or congregate in Charles ton and other towns. This total disregard of all obligations to keep their contracts in good faith, will cause an entire failure of the crops in the State, and the result must be destitution and star vation. The increasing amount of theft, drunk enness and vagrancy demands that tho most prompt and severe measures be taken by nil ofli cers to check the evil. DL It is ordered that tho men or women who leave the plantation on which they are employed to labor, either by the month, for share of tho crop, or as renters of land, and thereby neglect their growing crops, be at onco arrested as va grants and put to work on tho public roads, as provided by paragraph XII, General Order No. 1, Headquarters Department of South Carolina. All planters who have freedmen employed on their plantations who do not, at this important season of the year, give their entire time to tho growing crops, are authorized, if after reading this order to them and they neglect or refuse to obey it, to report them at once to the officer in com mand of the district, who will cause them to bo taken from the plantation as vagrants and put to work on the public roads. Their children, if any, will be bound to such persons as will take care of them and learn them habits of industry. IH. A prison will be established for all persons of color convicted of such crimes as are not pun ishable by death on one of the islands, where em ployment can be furnished, and all convicts will be compelled to labor from suiiriso until sunset, under the control of such guards as will insuro their safety. Any person convicted of selling spiritous liquors to a freedman without a permit from some officer having control, will be lined in any sum not less than twenty-five dollars ($25) nor more than one hundred dollars (100) for every offence of which he may be convicted. IV. Commanding officers will have this order read in the several colored churches in their vi cinity, in order that it may becomo generally un derstood. By command of Brevet Major General It.
